Liverpool made a late move to try and sign Independiente del Valle centre-back Deinner Ordonez, but by the time the Reds made an approach, Chelsea had already sealed a deal for the 16-year-old. 😀 (@FabrizioRomano)

But not sure if you read correctly it seems like he is not just attributing to tariff. Tariff only been here for one year...well even less then one year. But this statement says over the past 5 years......

Feud erupts between Trump and ally Marjorie Taylor Greene ahead of Epstein files vote "Marjorie 'Traitor' Green [sic] is a disgrace to our GREAT REPUBLICAN PARTY!" he wrote. The comments follow days of criticism from Greene, who has said that Trump is not doing enough to bring down costs for voters. She also denounced his recent decisions in foreign conflicts and on tariff policies. But she has been most critical of his approach to handling the Epstein files. The turnaround is remarkable for a lawmaker who stood by Trump during multiple scandals, most notably the Capitol riot in 2021 when Trump supporters stormed the US legislature in an attempt to block Trump's election defeat. Greene is one of only four House Republicans who joined Democrats in signing a discharge petition calling for the release of the Epstein files last week. On Friday, Greene posted on X that Trump was trying to stop other Republicans from voting in favour of the Epstein petition. "He's coming after me hard to make an example to scare all the other Republicans before next weeks vote to release the Epstein files," she posted, adding: "It's astonishing really how hard he's fighting to stop the Epstein files from coming out that he actually goes to this level."

FAFO bitches......... ICE may well come for his clan now, lololol what a fucking idiot zero sympathy Pro-Trump owner shocked as grocery store that thrived for 43 years goes bankrupt under his tariffs and policies https://wtfdetective.blog/pro-trump-owner-grocery-store-bankrupt-under-tariffs/ A beloved family-run grocery store in Florida may soon close its doors after more than four decades in business — and the owners say tariffs are to blame. Wong Kai Imports, founded in 1983 by John Wong and his two brothers after their family immigrated to the United States from Hong Kong, has been a cornerstone for the local community in Manatee County. The shop became a go-to destination for authentic Asian ingredients in an area with few other markets like it. Once a thriving wholesale operation based in Bradenton, Wong Kai Imports was highly profitable for years before John decided to scale down a decade ago to focus on his health. Even so, the smaller grocery arm continued to attract loyal shoppers seeking ramen noodles, sauces, candies, and specialty imports from across Asia — until now. The trouble began when President Donald Trump’s tariffs took effect, shaking the foundation of small import businesses across the country. Wong, who supported Trump in the last election, said he was swayed by campaign promises to reduce grocery costs. But now, as his business struggles to stay afloat, he admits the reality looks very different. Grocery inflation is at a two-year high, and prices continue to climb with no end in sight. Wong told NPR that virtually all of his products have increased in price since early this year. For instance, a box of mabo tofu sauce — a popular Sichuan dish — has gone from $2.75 last year to $3.95 at the beginning of this year. “We just had this shipment come in yesterday — it’s $5. We cannot catch up. Every shipment coming in, we have to put a new price on it,” Wong said. Despite the mounting costs, Wong has been reluctant to pass those increases on to his customers, many of whom are elderly and living on fixed incomes. “I talk to a lot of customers. They told me, ‘Mr. Wong, don’t close. Stay open for another three years,’” he said. “I said, ‘I try, but it’s hard. It’s very hard.’” The grocery aisles at Wong Kai are lined with imports from countries like China, Vietnam, Thailand, and the Philippines — all facing steep tariff hikes under Trump’s trade policies. With proposed tariffs on Chinese goods reaching as high as 145 percent, Wong finds himself caught in the crossfire. About half of his inventory originates from China, and the rising import costs have made survival increasingly difficult. “Grocery inflation is at a two-year high, and things only seem to be getting worse,” Wong said, reflecting on how his once-thriving store now faces an uncertain future. “With the economy like that, it’s very hard for not just me. It’s for a lot of people.” He shared a story of one longtime customer — an elderly woman — who has resorted to rationing a single can of sardines over several days just to stretch her meals. Since coming to the U.S. from Hong Kong as a child, Wong has worked tirelessly to build his business and live the American dream. But after decades of hard work, he fears that dream is slipping away. “Over the past five years, the cost of goods has doubled with no indication of slowing down,” he said. “Is there any future? Is this the American dream?”

That was my first thought as well. Larry Ellison is a menace on multiple levels, as his his son.

Another 16 years old instead of someone like Bastoni who would take you to the race of the title and some top GK. Development FC .

Oracle?! Ffs, the company owned/founded by right wing Trumper Larry Ellison who’s buying up loads of different companies in order to turn them into shitty propaganda sources. 🤢
-
One of the issues with new FOS sponsors is companies waiting to see what punishment Chelsea get for the recent charges against them. Companies have been reluctant to commit so I’d assume Chelsea and Oracle will negotiate extending the current deal (if agreed) past summer. (@SimonPhillips)

You say that now that he is 25 years old and had many tries to improve. It's like giving the same context Gittens and Garnacho come good at 25 after many tries in the PL..... But you don't want to be patient with the younger guys that can have potential like Semenyo? I'm sure if you bought Semenyo at 21 and he was not showing nothing you would have said not a good signing. The point is that with these younger players sometimes you need to give them a season or two and then we can assess further. The only youth that has come doing above others is Estevao and that is the exception not the norm.

I don't understand that headlines, is it saying that people who support him are pedophiles? Or that Trump is a pedophile? I agree with Trump being a pedophile. But the people who support him? Theres no evidence in the article, as when i open the article it just gave some statements but it brought no actual fact and it shows nowhere where it got it's info. It says: a Gallup Poll released Tuesday confirmed that Donald Trump’s support remained overwhelmingly strong among working-class American pedophiles. But it doesn't give that info in the article of where to find it?

To be fair to United, they did well to go after PL experienced talent. If they were able to add a solid mid to help out Casemiro, they'd be in the battle for top 4.

Cant be any worse than Tosin. People laughed when I said that last season too but Tosin has been found out as the second coming of Titus Bramble. And another 16 years old who is apparently “best CB talent” someone has seen. Great. He’ll be playing for Grimsby in 5 years probably. I know we don’t need wingers but would be devastated if we aren’t in the running for Semenyo. Looks really exciting. Suppose 25 years old probably makes him too old anyway but would’ve been a better signing than both Gittens & Garnacho. Oh well. Probably goes to City or Liverpool & tears it up. Even if he went to United think he’d do well - particularly after the output & performances they’ve got with Cunha & Mbuemo, PL proven players giving them much more than most expected, ok goals maybe lacking from Cunha but I think you see the all round ability is there. Mbuemo has really impressed me his physicality, dynamism & work rate.
