Lol...Oprah Winfrey endorsed John Fetterman and demonized Dr Ox who she had been close friends until he ran for senate. Yeah this phony is an independent who votes her values. A backstabbing friend.

Democrat state media on NBC - Oprah delivered political gospel for democrats - democracy, freedom, civil rights and equality.

Price gouging is being practiced daily here in knoxville,that's the real culprit behind inflation.
Weigles on pleasant ridge sells regular gas 42 cents higher than Weigles on Western Ave, about a block apart.

The real culprit behind this recent inflation is huge government spending and deficits since GWB and ridiculous levels of government giveaways since the start of the pandemic.
As long as there's competition and no collusion, price gauging doesn't last.
Maximizing profits is an acceptable business practice as long as the rules are followed. Profiteering is outside those rules

How does the Democratic Party actually feel about billionaires?

Sen. Bernie Sanders calls them "oligarchs," while Gov. J.B. Pritzker gets cheers when touting his billionaire status at the Democratic National Convention.
reason.com reason.com

"Sen. Bernie Sanders (I–Vt.) spoke to the crowd earlier in the evening. After waxing poetic about the trillions of inflationary dollars spent during the COVID-19 pandemic, Sanders aired a familiar list of grievances.

"My fellow Americans, when 60 percent of our people live paycheck to paycheck, the top 1 percent have never, ever had it so good," Sanders said. He laid out a list of policies solidly to the left of what President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris had pursued in office, and "at the very top of that to-do list is the need to get big money out of our political process. Billionaires in both parties should not be able to buy elections, including primary elections."

And yet awkwardly, Sanders was followed by Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker—who bragged about his own wealth to ding former President Donald Trump.

"Donald Trump thinks that we should trust him on the economy because he claims to be very rich," Pritzker said. "But take it from an actual billionaire, Trump is rich in only one thing: stupidity!" Forbes estimates Pritzker's wealth at $3.5 billion, while Trump's true net worth has long been a point of contention.

At the invocation of the words actual billionaire, the hall erupted in cheers—an odd juxtaposition with Sanders, who less than 10 minutes earlier had excoriated people exactly like Pritzker as "oligarchs."

For example, while Sanders castigated billionaires for "buy[ing] elections, including primary elections," Pritzker himself might be the worst offender: Between two runs for governor, Pritzker spent a whopping $323 million of his own fortune. On top of that, in 2022, he gave an additional $24 million to the Democratic Governors Association to run ads in the Republican primary boosting state Sen. Darren Bailey, who was considered a weaker opponent in the general election. (Indeed, Pritzker would defeat Bailey by more than 12 points."

Tim Walz Bashes JD Vance for Going to Yale -- After Following Long List of Yale Speakers

Tim Walz bashed JD Vance for attending Yale -- after Walz followed a long list of Yale- and Ivy-League-educated speakers at the DNC.
www.breitbart.com www.breitbart.com

But Walz’s predecessors onstage at the convention included a large number of Yale and Ivy League graduates — on Wednesday night alone:

  • Jaime Harrison, Chairman of the Democratic National Committee (Yale)
  • Virginia McGregor, Treasurer of the Democratic National Committee (Harvard)
  • Alexis McGill Johnson, President and CEO of Planned Parenthood (Yale and Princeton)
  • Cecile Richards, past President of Planned Parenthood (Brown)
  • Jared Polis, Governor of Colorado (Princeton)
  • Mindy Kaling, Actor (Dartmouth)
  • Bill Clinton, former President (Yale)
  • Amanda Gorman, poet (Harvard)
  • Pete Buttigieg, Secretary of Transportation
  • John Legend, musician (Penn)
  • Amy Klobuchar, Senator from Minnesota (Yale)

I agree with Tampon Tim get the ivy league out of politics.

Sure I am. The last time the government shrank and deficit spending was in check was under a democrat.

Wrong, curious what state you live in? I live in Tennessee. Republics have us in a net surplus here despite having one of the lowest tax rates in the nation. Total opposite of blue states like California or Illinois.

I always hear the left say Trump is racist white supremacist. Did he become that before or after he was a given an award along side Rosa Parks & Ali?

When he stopped donating to the left and ran for office. If he was a “racist” then it was tolerated racism by the left. Much like how they allowed Harvey to rape women for roles and Bill to travel with Epstein. Diddy to promote “Vote or Die” while grooming kids.
