Trump: "Because of tariffs, we are taking in hundreds of billions of dollars of profits. It's one of the reasons I can offer, if Republicans win the House and Senate, $5,000 to every adult. We can do it and the Democrats can't, because the Democrats don't have any income."Reminder, tariffs are taxes. ...

The Starbucks inside Melbourne Square Mall is now closed, with its signage wrapped in black plastic, its windows covered in paper, and a letter from the company taped to the front window.In the letter addressed to customers, Starbucks said it made "the very difficult decision" this week to close the location. The company thanked customers for the memories and community built at the store and said it is working closely to support its employees, known as partners, through the transition. Customers are directed to nearby Starbucks locations through the company's app.The letter does not give a reason for the closure.The store had been open for nearly 20 years. Brian Cavins, the location's first manager, marked the closing in a Facebook post, calling it "a bittersweet day." Cavins said he was there when the space was cleared out as a Barnie's Coffee & Tea, then returned a few months later to open it as a Starbucks. It was his first store as a manager and the first team he built.According to Cavins, employees are transitioning to new home stores. He spent part of the final day of operations with the staff, noting it felt fitting to be there on both the first day and the last."Thank you for 20+ years of my life, and for all of the amazing customers and partners who were part of the journey along the way," Cavins wrote.#Starbucks #MelbourneFL #SpaceCoast ...

Victory Casino Cruises has furloughed all of its employees as the Port Canaveral casino ship's extended dry dock drags on with no return date.The furloughs were confirmed by longtime employee Pete Lynch, who spent 15 years with the company overseeing events, entertainment, marketing and social media, and became known to many guests as "Promo Pete."In a public Facebook post, Lynch said the company was forced to furlough its entire staff last week, himself included, because the ship's time in dry dock was extended. He wrote that there is still hope Victory may return, possibly with a new ship, but that the timing and the company's future are currently unknown.Lynch addressed his coworkers directly, saying he was wishing the best to his fellow Victory family members "who are in the same boat right now."Victory Casino Cruises posted an update to customers three days ago, signed by Captain Tim, stating that Victory I is undergoing an extended dry dock for maintenance and is temporarily not operating. The company said additional necessary work has lengthened the ship's time out of service.According to the company, its casino hosts and reservations desk will be unavailable until operations resume, and it is not accepting online or phone reservations. Any paid reservations or deposits will be refunded. The company said it will announce a return-to-sailing date on its website and Facebook page once one is confirmed.The company did not say in its post how many employees are affected or whether furloughed workers will be brought back when the ship returns.#PortCanaveral #BrevardCounty #VictoryCasinoCruises ...
