'Greatest Onslaught Of Corruption In The History Of Mankind'

The phrase "the shame of the nation" emerged in a New York Times investigative report detailing business dealings of the Trump family, which was subsequently quoted in a highly critical editorial by the New York Post. 





Text of the Foreign Emoluments Clause, U.S. Const. art. I, § 9, cl. 8.

“No Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under [the United States], shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, *Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State."


 

President Donald Trump collected billions of dollars through an array of cryptocurrency holdings, royalty payments and property investments last year, according to his latest annual financial disclosure released on Tuesday. 

The 2025 report, which totals 927 pages, provides the most extensive look so far at the growing fortune that the president has amassed since returning to office, including through his stakes in companies co-founded by family members. 

CNN’s Erin Burnett discusses the legality of Trump’s earnings with former White House lawyer Ty Cobb. Also, CNN’s Anderson Cooper speaks with New York Times reporter Eric Lipton, CNN contributor Kara Swisher and former federal prosecutor Jeffrey Toobin about the Trump family’s connection to a mining deal in Kazakhstan, crypto profits and more.

*An emolument is a formal term for any form of compensation, profit, or financial advantage received from employment, a business, or the holding of an office. It includes not only a base salary or wages but also bonuses, fees, and perks (such as a company car or housing)

Feminine Differential - Wearing Shorts?

 Vacation Outfits for Women Over 50: Chic & Easy


Happy July!!!





Love the look

There is something timeless about a crisp white linen button-down shirt paired with high-waisted denim shorts. The shirt feels breathable against the skin while the relaxed fit skims the body without clinging, and the shorts offer a modest length that hits just above the knee. Roll the sleeves once or twice and leave a few buttons open at the neck for that easy, undone vacation energy. A tan leather belt cinches the waist and creates a clean visual break between the two pieces. Flat beige sandals keep the outfit grounded and walkable, while a woven basket tote with a colorful scarf tied around the handle adds personality without extra effort. This is the kind of look that transitions seamlessly from a morning coffee run to an afternoon of sightseeing, looking intentional yet never over-styled.

Here is a really good way to wear shorts.  I have two pairs on denim shorts and two pairs of white. I have worn both with t-shirts and see the above to be a classic look. If you have the legs, then why not!  

Flats rule! Most any color sandals and wedges would work. Just stay away from super high heels.  That would be dressing for a whole different audience.  


Not just for vacation - Any escape will do!
