Was President Trump's "Salute to America" a campaign rally or an Independence Day celebration?

Well it was a weird hybrid of both. He didn't do a lot of the red meat stuff from his campaign rallies. But clearly he was trying to hijack the Fourth of July for political purposes.

What kind of candidates is Trump trying to put on the Fed?

Well he's looking for rate-hike flip-floppers just like himself. People who said under Obama that rates were way too low, who now rail against the Fed and want to see rate cuts. People like Judy Shelton.

When is the Democratic field going to shrink?

Well it won't be too long now. After the second debate I think you'll see some of the real bottom dwellers drop out, by the time we get to voting in February in Iowa, we should be down to eight or nine and then by Super Tuesday in March we should be down to about the final three.

Now for The Rant:

I think it's ridiculous all these calls for the U.S. women's national soccer team to be paid the same as the men. In fact, they win the gold. They win the viewers. They get all the excitement, the U.S. women's national team should be paid far more than the men.
