"These are my principles; if you don't like them, I have others." -- Groucho Marx.
From 1799-1867, Russia owned Alaska. If they want it back, we should give it to them. No sense in sparking WWIII.
A study in the American Economic Review looked at the effect of 2018 tariffs on washing machine prices: Did exporters absorb the cost of the tariff? Answer: they didn't. They passed it all on to US consumers. And it even drove related product prices up. x.com/ernietedeschi/…
So much for "targeted tariffs." This is the trade war that will wreck havoc on prices and the US economy in general. The US imported $974.3 billion worth of goods from Canada and Mexico in 2022. Exports to those countries were $789.7 billion; there will be a retaliation.
BREAKING: The H5N1 bird flu virus was detected in a retail sample of raw milk in California, State health officials confirmed on Sunday The NYT reports that the virus has spread to nearly 500 herds in 15 states. Meanwhile, Trump’s nominee for HHS, RFK Jr., drinks raw milk and…
Democrats did especially bad in blue cities in blue states and a big reason was failure to address low-level crime & basic public disorder. Working class people pay the price for rampant homelessness and public drug abuse and unenforced law (e.g. theft) in their neighborhoods.
The turn from “we need to be more thoughtful about how the criminal justice system works” to “maybe it’s bad to enforce laws” was really bad and needs to be rolled back ASAP. slowboring.com/p/liberalism-a…
Trump is the first president-elect ever to not sign an agreement that makes transition donations public. That means no one knows who is contributing to his transition, and how much, and it also allows foreign donations. I don't believe even Trump supporters think this is a good…
The Senate is an independent, co-equal branch of government, designed to be a check on the power of the President. Those Senators were elected by the people.
ICYMI, Russia invaded its neighbor, a European country, and has been bombing and otherwise attacking it for over 1,000 days. Everything Putin does is squarely on Putin's head and nobody else's. x.com/roddreher/stat…
If, God forbid, Russia takes out a European target in response, as Putin promised to do the other night, this will be on the heads of Biden and Zelensky. Putin could not have made it clearer what he was prepared to do if US missiles keep falling.
Pete Hegseth: The Short Course 13 Steps to National Destruction snyder.substack.com/p/pete-hegseth…
Trump working to solidify Republican opposition to his cabinet nominations.
This is the person the Republican Party chose to represent them after the State of the Union.
This is good, actually. She barely shows up and doesn’t do the reading. To borrow a phrase I saw elsewhere, it’s like giving someone an unplugged controller.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene tapped to work with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy as new DOGE subcommittee chair cnbc.com/2024/11/21/mar…
Let’s talk about Donald Trump and his new Attorney General pick Pam Bondi, because boy do we have a story to tell
"Hegseth paid for a settlement in 2020 because, his attorney said, if the facts about the incident came out, it would endanger his job at Fox. Should the qualifications to serve as secretary of defense be more lax than for being a host on Fox & Friends?" thebulwark.com/p/rfk-jr-on-ch…
NEW: on her radio show today, Nikki Haley criticized the nomination of Tulsi Gabbard for DNI: “So now she’s defended Russia, she’s defended Syria, she’s defended Iran, and she’s defended China. No, she has not denounced any of these views. None of them. She hasn’t taken one of…
The Gaetz debacle is the first significant sign that Trumpian incompetence will mitigate Trumpian malfeasance.
Republican Senators standing up against a demonstrably unfit candidate who preys on minors told that Trump's billionaire consigliere will end their political careers.
Subtle.
The VP-elect tweeted, then deleted, a message calling Steve Bannon's producer @gc22gc a "mouth-breathing idiot." Simultaneously grotestque behavior for an incoming VP and the first battle of the delicious infighting to come.
If Superintendent Walters really wanted to put Bibles in every classroom, he would have done it. It's not hard or expensive. It would take no more than a few hours of time and a handful of phone calls to secure private funds (maybe $150,000) and the bibles. Instead... 1/3
The Bible is back in Oklahomas classrooms. We are getting our kids back on track.
