There are a few accounts in the media that the fight was rigged like a harness race! Should this surprise anyone when the current administration has its grift out in public anyway?
What does last nights event have to do with a medical decline?I'll ask you the same question: What "decline" have you clearly seen, or does your crystal ball say it is happening in the days ahead?
I don't believe the media account from either side. I thought the fights were legit. You can believe they were rigged if you want to.
Common sense should prevail!The past actions of trump and the clan speak volumes when evaluating this!
That's Ok! Believe what you want. It was all rigger by the President! LOL!
Rainman2, you don't have an unbiased bone in your body.
Look who’s talking on the subject!
Interesting take, in that I have commented on PLOP multiple times, I am not a fan of Donald Trump, but support many of his Administrations policies. I consider that unbiased.
Rainman2, I like the sound of these trends ..... U.S. GDP is projected to grow 2.8% in 2026, with quarterly fluctuations influenced by consumption, investment, and policy changes.Projected GrowthThe U.S. economy is expected to expand at an annual rate of 2.8% in 2026, with fourth-quarter year-over-year growth projected at 2.5%, slightly above the consensus estimate of 2.1% (Goldman Sachs Research) Goldman SachsGoldman Sachs. This growth is supported by business and personal tax cuts, real wage gains, and increased consumer spending, while the drag from tariffs is expected to diminish Goldman SachsGoldman Sachs. Core personal consumption expenditures (PCE) inflation is forecast to decline to 2.1% by December 2026 Goldman SachsGoldman Sachs.Quarterly TrendsIn the first quarter of 2026, real GDP is expected to recover from the 0.6% annualized decline in Q1 2025, which was influenced by import surges and inventory adjustments The White HouseThe White House. The fourth quarter of 2025 saw a 0.7% annualized increase, driven by consumer spending and investment, partially offset by decreases in government spending and exports Bureau of Economic AnalysisBureau of Economic Analysis. These trends suggest moderate but steady growth throughout 2026.Key DriversConsumption and Investment: Consumer spending and business investment, particularly in equipment and intellectual property, are major contributors to GDP growth .Government Policy: Tax incentives from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) are expected to boost disposable income and business investment .Labor Market and Productivity: Labor supply growth is limited due to lower immigration, so productivity gains, including those from AI adoption, are expected to play a larger role in GDP expansion Goldman SachsGoldman Sachs.Interest Rates: The Federal Reserve is predicted to implement two 25-basis-point rate cuts in 2026, which may stimulate investment and consumption Goldman SachsGoldman Sachs.Fiscal ContextThe federal deficit is projected at 5.8% of GDP in 2026, with total outlays at 23.3% of GDP and revenues at 17.5% of GDP (CBO) Congressional Budget OfficeCongressional Budget Office. These fiscal conditions influence overall economic growth by affecting government spending and borrowing costs.SummaryOverall, the U.S. GDP in 2026 is expected to grow steadily at 2.8% annually, supported by tax cuts, consumer spending, and investment, while facing moderate fiscal constraints and labor supply limitations. Quarterly fluctuations will reflect inventory adjustments, import patterns, and policy impacts, with inflation remaining moderate at around 2.1% by year-end.
Raiman2, it was right there in the summary at the end ....."with inflation remaining moderate at around 2.1% by year-end."
Think the 2.1% inflation rate is unrealistic considering it was 2.7% last year. Even as gas prices continue to come down, food prices continue to rise.
