Warning, Trump wants to make Americans so angry they commit crimes so he can enact the Insurrection Act and claim Martial Law. Keep protests nonviolent.

So let's say US widgets cost 1 dollar, but Canada can import them for 90 cents. Trump puts a 25% tariff on the import so they now cost 1.225 dollars. Do you think the US suppliers aren't going to see an opportunity and raise their price to 1.20 dollars www.marketwatch.com/investing/fu...

Maybe Musk should mind his own business and concentrate on keeping SpaceX rockets from. exploding.

“I don't know what weapons will be used in World War III, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones” is a quote that is often attributed to Albert Einstein

So the US delegation meets with Russia behind closed doors and no press, and Ukraine is berated by Trump and Vance in front of the press. So much for transparency

Rather than end the war in Ukraine, Trump is starting WW3.....

Mr. Musk In response to your request 1. I called Human Resources about harassment 2. Called my Lawyer. 3. Called my Federal Employee Union Representative. 4. Called my Congressman 5. Spent 65 hours for my 40 hour salary analyzing DNA sequences for specific markers in Pediatric brain cancer cells.

I wonder if a judge could order a special master to run a gov agency to release congressionally approved funds.

Shortly after I retired I was talking to a coworker, who gave me probably the best compliment. "I didn't know everything you did, until it stopped being done." After Trump dismantles what he calls the deep state, you will, in time, begin to see all the good things gov does, when it stops being done.

Can someone please explain to me, how a trade war with Canada and Mexico will lower prices and create more jobs?

I find it shameful, congress will pass a law where a single person was killed by a single criminal, but won't respond when hundreds of children are gunned down in schools.

Birthright citizenship I fear the Supreme Court challenge will focus on "subject to the jurisdiction". As Native Americans maintain sovereignty, will they be determined not subject to the jurisdiction and therefore not US citizens. Scary isn't it....

I'm pretty sure cocaine is tariff proof.....

I'm not an artist, but I see a picture of Lady Liberty and death by a thousand cuts.

We have all seen the amazing pictures of aircraft dropping water and fire retardant. But think about the coordination and air traffic control it takes to pull off this miracle.

I wonder if wind farms along the ridges of Southern California could alter the impact of the Santa Ana winds, thus reducing the risk of extreme fires. Just saying...

Once the fires die out, California will need alot of labor to rebuild. An army of immigrants will once again prove their importance to the US economy.

If Canada becomes our 51 state, how many delegates to congress would they get with 40 million citizens voting blue. The GOP can't afford the loss of support.

We see insurance companies cancel people amid disasters on both coasts, it becomes clear the Fed Gov will have to step in and bail out this industry. But just as we have the FDIC to protect personal bank accounts there needs to be a similar system to protect people from insurance company collapse.

Zuckerberg's capitulation to Trump is likely a trade for DOJ to drop anti trust lawsuits.

The HB1 saga is about money. Why would Musk want to pay a US engineer 200k a year plus bennies when he can pay 60k w/o bennies to a non US engineer?

So I know this is a what if moment, but what if on Jan 3 the GOP House of Representatives can not get their act together and vote in a new Speaker. A battle for power tugs between MAGA, DOGE and what ever. they will be unable to certify the presidential election on Jan 6. What happens then???????

This Christmas I have been blessed with the return of two estranged grandchildren. Their father restricted our engagement. Last night, they were making gingerbread cookies, giggling and laughing as they tried to make the anatomically correct. What a hoot. Let them be kids, and enjoy.

Liz Cheney can defend herself. She will enter all the evidence Trump doesn't want seen. Biden should preemptively pardon all the witnesses because it's the whistle blowers we need to protect.

Somehow this gets overlooked During the Biden-Harris Administration, over 700,000 new manufacturing jobs have been created and over $910 billion in private manufacturing investments have been announced nationwide.

How is it, assassination of a CEO is supported, but a majority elects the billionaire class into power. If you want to stop being ripped off, don't vote for them any more.

How is it an election denier who looses a defamation lawsuit for lying, becomes the head of Voice of America.

Lets get straight to the point. Trump wants Pete Hegseth at DOD so he can illegally cancel the Posse Comitatus act, and any military commander that refuses an illegal order to be fired by Hegseth.

Let's say you are a naturalized citizen but when you first immigrated you checked a box on your driver's license application you were not a citizen (yet), they are going to purge you from voter rolls to make it more difficult.

I saw a post, supporting US farmers in with rejection of Chinese food imports. Authors of the post fail to recognize the US exports 42 billion dollars of food a year to China. Tariffs jepradize those exports. Trump had to subsidize 28 billion of tax dollars to offset the loss of food exports.

Very good, yet a bit disturbing. I can only read a few pages at at time as I absorb the possibilities good and bad.
