Lara Trump: Democrats Have Once Again Found Themselves On The Wrong Side Of A Basic Common-Sense Issue
'We all, no matter our politics, want a safe place for our families, want to safe place to live and exist. And, you sadly have had so many of these Democrat policies that have taken that ability away where you have, it seems like, people in this country who are four criminals, who are four folks who break the law, whether we're talking about other southern border, whether we are talking about people who are going in and wiping out full shelves in CVS and Dwayne Reeds in New York City, you can't even get a deodorant in New York city without having someone have to ring a bell and have somebody come open up with a key the little plastic thing, it's crazy. But this is what these kind of nonsensical policies have gotten the American people. It doesn't make sense. It is opposite of what we want. We all want safety, we all want security, we all wanna place where we can feel good about raising our families, where we send the kids out to play cops and robbers. And the whole thing, it's sad that we have to address it the way that we're doing now, but at least we have a president who has recognized what a fundamental quality this isto your quality of life, to your American dream and your ability to achieve that. Without safety and security, nothing else matters, and it's so foundational. Thank God for President Trump, and I'm personally looking forward to going back to our United States Capitol, feeling great about walking around Washington, D.C. Maybe, heck, I'll even take my kids out for a little stroll. We don't know what could happen. Let's not get crazy.'

Goldman Flags Falling Survey Responses as Key Driver of Big Data Revisions
Goldman Sachs says a key reason behind the unusually large revisions to recent U.S. economic data could be falling survey response rates. Analysts led by Jan Hatzius examined more than 30 indicators over the past decade and found measures like JOLTS job openings, retail sales, and nonfarm payroll growth have seen bigger revisions partly due to fewer responses. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 6 Warning Signs with AMD. The debate intensified after the July jobs report delivered one of the largest two-month payroll revisions in decades outside the pandemic, prompting former President Donald Trump to fire Bureau of Labor Statistics chief Erika McEntarfer. Trump accused her of rigging numbers before last year's election a claim she denied. Goldman noted other forces at play, including pandemic-related seasonal distortions that skewed initial prints for jobless claims and manufacturing surveys. Trump's replacement pick suggested halting the monthly jobs report, though the White House confirmed it would continue. Markets shrugged off the data drama, with Wall Street hitting record highs Tuesday on softer July inflation and Fed rate cut hopes. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

Trump rewrites Sylvester Stallone's ‘Rocky' history at Kennedy Center event
President Donald Trump rewrote the script on how Sylvester Stallone came to play 'Rocky' when he told a Kennedy Center crowd on Wednesday that film executives insisted the aspiring actor play the title character in the 1976 film. For nearly 50 years, its been known that Stallone campaigned to play Rocky Balboa as producers did everything in their power to convince him to surrender the script he wrote to an established star. But that wasn't the story Trump told when he named Stallone among this year's Kennedy Center Honors recipients. 'He wouldn't do it,' Trump said Wednesday. 'And it turned out that when [executives] saw him, they said, 'You know, you'd be actually pretty good for this role.' He had never done this before —think — anything like it.' Stallone's personal underdog tale famously parallels Balboa's story as an unknown fighter who gets an unlikely shot at the heavyweight championship and greatly overachieves. The 79-year-old Hell's Kitchen native studied drama at the University of Miami and appeared in 'The Lords of Flatbush' with Henry Winkler, as well as several small film roles, before doing 'Rocky' in 1976. Still, he was a longshot for the leading man role that went on to make him famous. Stallone said in a 1977 BBC interview that he badgered producers to cast him as Balboa, even after they offered him $265,000 'to stay away' from the cameras. But his gut told him that if he sold the 'Rocky' script and didn't appear in the movie, he'd regret it. 'I knew that after the money was gone I would become very bitter for having sold out because my one love was to at least fail on my own terms,' he said. 'I wanted to see if I could act.' Stallone said filmmakers pitched the script to James Caan, Burt Reynolds, Robert Redford and Gene Hackman before the scrappy newcomer convinced producers he'd work a lot harder and for a lot cheaper than those stars if given the chance. He eventually struck a deal that allowed him to play Balboa, but gave executives several options to change the lead character if they didn't like what they were seeing. The role worked out so well that Stallone reprised it in five more films. In Trump's version of events, Stallone had sway over who played Balboa, but didn't want it to be him. 'He didn't want to play [the role],' Trump said. 'He did it as a writer, but he ended up playing it because he couldn't find anybody else that fit the role.'

Violent crime doesn't worry me. Trump is just mad he has to see homeless people.
In my daily life, the types of crime I'm concerned about are scams, fraud, cybercrime and hate crimes. We live in a pretty safe town. We are a beach community of about 100,000 people. Does that mean I would let my 15-year-old walk home at night by themselves? No. Would I not lock my doors and my vehicle? No. It is just common sense. Despite President Donald Trump saying his actions were meant to "rescue our nation's capital from crime," I don't think violent crime in Washington, DC, is as big of an issue as he's making it. As for Trump specifically, I don't think a convicted felon should be president. What type of crime concerns you? Share your thoughts here. | Opinion Forum Another view: Trump's order on homelessness is more humane than failed liberal policies | Opinion I don't live in Washington, so I can't say how residents feel about their safety. I would imagine that it's got more crime than my community simply for the size of it and the fact that so many people come and go, but I honestly don't think it's bedlam and mayhem in the streets. Trump is just mad because he sees homeless people on his way to the golf course. If he truly cared about homelessness and bedlam in the streets, he would be funding housing and programs to help with addiction and mental health – not bringing in the National Guard and relocating unhoused people. I'm not worried about violent crime in America. You just have to know your surroundings and use common sense. — Martha Payne, Ventura, California This piece was submitted as part of USA TODAY's Forum, a new space for conversation.
