President Trump Receives Sports 'Warning' Sunday
President Trump received a "warning" from sports fans on Sunday afternoon.
The President of the United States and his crowd often liked to say that politics should be kept out of sports. However, on Sunday, President Trump, 79, made it clear that he believes that two professional sports teams need to change their names.
President Trump voiced his complaint on social media. He wants two professional sports teams to change their names - the Washington Commanders and the Cleveland Guardians.
He wants the changes to be made "immediately."
"The Washington 'Whatever's' should IMMEDIATELY change their name back to the Washington Redskins Football Team. There is a big clamoring for this. Likewise, the Cleveland Indians, one of the six original baseball teams, with a storied past. Our great Indian people, in massive numbers, want this to happen. Their heritage and prestige is systematically being taken away from them. Times are different now than they were three or four years ago. We are a Country of passion and common sense. OWNERS, GET IT DONE!!!" he wrote.
President Trump is now being warned by his critics to "keep politics out of sports."
"I thought it was keep politics out of sports, Trump," one fan wrote.
"Anything to distract from what else is going on," one fan added.
"This is what people want their President to do? Getting involved in pro sports teams' decisions?" one fan added.
"I'm certain this is the best use of his time," one fan added.
"Nothing else going on I guess. He's got everything under control," one fan added.
"The NFL is never going to let that happen and he should probably be focusing on more important things than the name of a football team!" one fan added.
"Far right virtue signaling. You can't make them do it," one fan added.
Should the President of the United States stay out of sports?

Voices: By likening Nigel Farage to Jimmy Savile, Peter Kyle has handed Reform a free gift
Just when Nigel Farage and his tiny parliamentary party were beginning to be exposed as shrill and clueless, Peter Kyle, one of the most promising cabinet ministers, handed them a free gift. By saying that the Reform leader is on the side of 'people like Jimmy Savile', Kyle destroys his own arguments for the Online Safety Act. The attempt to link Farage with a notorious child sex abuser is gratuitous and offensive. It makes Kyle seem desperate, and allows Farage to pose as the wronged party. Farage's criticisms of the Act seem more credible after Kyle's outburst than before. It is surprising that Kyle has chosen to use this slur when Labour people were so indignant – and rightly so – when Boris Johnson used it against Keir Starmer. That was when Johnson was desperate: Sue Gray's report on lockdown parties in Downing Street had just been published and Johnson wanted some way of deflecting attention. His attack on Starmer had nothing to do with Gray's report. It was an aside referring to Starmer's time as director of public prosecutions, during which, Johnson said, 'he spent most of his time prosecuting journalists and failing to prosecute Jimmy Savile, as far as I can make out'. But it was more relevant than Kyle's attack on Farage. It is factually correct that the Crown Prosecution Service failed to prosecute Savile when Starmer was in charge, and it is unclear whether it could have done more to bring Savile to justice at the time. But Farage has nothing to do with Savile – at all. Kyle's attempt to smear the Reform leader was phrased thus on Sky News: 'If people like Jimmy Savile were alive today, he'd be perpetrating his crimes online, and Nigel Farage is saying that he's on their side.' Nothing could be better calculated to distract from the real issue, which is whether Farage's pledge to repeal the Online Safety Act is a sensible one. The Reform rhetoric about 'authoritarian' and 'dystopian' legislation is overdone, and Farage admitted yesterday that he didn't know how he would protect children online instead. But rather of exposing the weakness of Farage's arguments, Kyle allowed his opponent to protest on X that his comment was 'disgusting' and to demand an apology. Kyle responded: 'If you want to overturn the Online Safety Act you are on the side of predators. It is as simple as that.' This is a terrible way to conduct a public debate. There are well-founded concerns about the Online Safety Act, which seems to put unworkable obligations on non-profit-making websites while doing little to ensure that the big tech companies behave more responsibly. A lot of well-informed people said it was badly drafted legislation even before it was passed by the Conservative government two years ago. Kyle is now overseeing the coming into effect of provisions of the Act relating to age-verification, and instead of acting on the concerns that have been expressed, he has ploughed ahead – in effect accusing anyone who has doubts, including for example Ella Dorn of the New Statesman, of being aligned with Savile. When Johnson gratuitously dragged Savile's name into his attempt to save his disintegrating premiership, the disgust at his deliberate attempt to invoke conspiracy theories driven by fears of paedophilia was felt across the political spectrum. Munira Mirza, Johnson's adviser who was consulted in advance, begged him not to do it, and resigned when he did. Kyle should not be using the same disreputable tactic, which not only speaks volumes about this government's self-confidence but also allows Reform off the hook. Only this morning, Sarah Pochin, Reform's newest MP, was struggling to explain what her party's policy on small boats actually is. All she could propose was that Britain should 'do something drastic', by which she seemed to suggest that we should let migrants drown in the Channel. If the next election really is a fight between Labour and Reform, Labour must fight it better than this.

I Asked ChatGPT How Trump's Tax Cuts Could Impact My Family Budget — Here's the Breakdown
President Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which he signed on July 4, will impact millions of households, from their student loan repayments to their access to Medicaid and other social safety net programs. I, however, was most concerned with how the legislation's sweeping changes to U.S. tax law might impact my obligations to the IRS. Since my tax attorney charges by the quarter-hour for phone calls, I went with the next-best thing — ChatGPT. I asked the AI platform how Trump's tax cuts could impact my family budget. Here's what it told me. Find Out: Read Next: Many Households — Including Mine — Will Save Money The AI platform began with a bulleted list of benefits that will help many families lower their tax bill. It relied on sources such as the Bipartisan Policy Center and the Tax Policy Center to generate the section, which it titled, 'What You'll Likely Save.' This is its word-for-word synopsis of the potential savings for my family and others. Extended 2017 TCJA benefits — no major tax increases that were scheduled to take effect in 2026. Higher standard deduction — receives a $2,000 extra (married) or $1,000 (single) until 2028 on top of inflation adjustment. (CTC) — boosted to $2,500 per child through 2028, then reverts to $2,000. New tax benefits — exemption from federal tax on tips and overtime income (under $160K), a $40K state-and-local-tax (SALT) cap and a one-time $1K 'Trump account' per child. Learn More: Have a Little, Get a Little; Have a Lot, Get a Lot Next, my unofficial AI accountant used a Tax Policy Center analysis and a CBS News report to surmise that most families would see at least some benefit, with an average household tax bill reduction of $2,900 in 2026. However, it generated the following bulleted list, cited here verbatim, which showed that the 'haves' stand to gain more than the 'have-nots.' Bottom quintile households (≤ $35K income): ~$150 saved (~0.8% of income) Top quintile (≥ $217K income): ~$12,540 saved (~2.5%). Middle-income families fall in between, likely saving several hundred to a few thousand dollars annually. Taxes Aren't the Only Thing That Impact Family Budgets The platform then outlined how what it called the 'offsetting effects' of the tax cuts could shake up my family's — or anyone's — finances. This, too, is in ChatGPT's own words. Cuts to Medicaid, food stamps (SNAP) — billions in savings, but may reduce public benefits your family relies on. Reduced social safety nets — tougher work requirements; lower-income families could see net income decline despite tax cuts. Growing deficit — adds $3-$5 trillion to federal debt over 10 years, increasing future borrowing costs and potential for inflation/higher interest rates. Which Provisions Impact Which Families the Most? It included the following table to break down how different aspects of the legislation will impact different income groups. Income Level Estimated Annual Savings Key New Provisions Watch-Outs Low Income ~$150 Child Tax Credit, tip/overtime exemption Less SNAP/Medicaid Middle Income (~$50K-$100K) $500-$1,500 Standard SALT deduction bump, CTC, SALT cap Social cuts, inflation High Income (>$200K) $5K-$12K+ All above, plus SALT/ deduction benefits Future tax, interest pressure Make Your Situation as Big and Beautiful as Possible It concluded with a numbered list titled 'How To Maximize Benefits,' which outlined steps that my family and others can take to get the most out of the new changes. Use enhanced standard deduction — reduces taxable income directly. Claim full child tax credit if eligible — $2,500 per child. Take advantage of tip/overtime deductions — especially if you receive a lot of tips or extra hours. Monitor public benefits changes — if your household receives Medicaid or SNAP, check whether new work requirements or eligibility changes impact your budget.
