THIS DAY IN HISTORY:

1773 - The Sons of Liberty (disguised as Mohawk Indians) protest the Tea Act by dumping crates of tea into the Boston Harbor.

DAILY HEADLINE:

“Trump Has TDS”

Today on The Weather’d View, Bruce reacts to Donald Trump’s social media post following the Reiner murders, calling it disturbing, unnecessary, and emblematic of a larger pattern. Instead of restraint, the post leaned into grievance and provocation, turning tragedy into culture-war fodder. Bruce argues this isn’t strategy or politics — it’s obsession overriding judgment.

DAILY COMMENTARY:

“McDonald’s CEO Gives Employees a Rude Awakening”

Today on The Weather’d View, Bruce reacts to comments from McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski that delivered blunt “tough love” to employees about careers and personal responsibility. The message was simple: take ownership, stop waiting to be handed opportunities, and understand that effort and initiative still matter. Bruce breaks down why the comments hit a nerve — and why some people needed to hear them.

FEATURE OF THE DAY:

“Data Breach… Again!?”

Today on The Weather’d View, Bruce reacts to reports of another data breach involving Petco and asks why these incidents have become so routine. Customers are warned, told to monitor accounts, and offered credit protection — while companies move on. Bruce breaks down why repeated breaches no longer shock anyone, and why consumers keep paying the price for corporate data failures.
