My favorite aspect of the Columbus legend is him getting rejected by the Portuguese gets spun as them not recognizing the genius of his idea. No - he went into a roomful of expert navigators and made basic math mistakes, they thought he was a moron, and they wouldn't fund his idea on that basis.

ICE = 'brave' masked boyz who couldn't cut it in the military and want some semblance of that 'military gung-ho' feeling in their very empty lives.

How the United States is eating Trump's tariffs

U.S. companies and consumers are bearing the brunt of the country's new import tariffs, early indications show, contradicting assertions by President Donald Trump and complicating the Federal Reserve's fight against inflation.

That man in the White House is inflicting pain daily on American communities, families, service organizations.
He is hurting those who work for the common good of our country.
What folly! What malfeasance!

Trump knows dealmaking but not stock-market timing.
Friday the S&P 500 was headed for a record he said he’d impose new 100% tariffs on China. The Nasdaq Composite Index closed 3.6% lower so his administration walked it back Sunday signaling openness to a deal with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Partisan shutdown standoff ignores key risk to US stability: rising national debt

The ongoing shutdown debate between Democrats and President Donald Trump's Republicans is largely avoiding the difficult fiscal issues clouding the country's future - the rising national debt and the long-term financial health of Social Security and Medicare.

I sometimes joke that I was trained by the jesuits.
As a punk rock dropout I met the bad-assed Michael Czerny who advised us about political organizing. He faced down death squads in El Salvador.
He married my wife and I.
He is the pope's right hand.

Meet the Jesuit Cardinal Behind Pope Leo’s Social Justice Revolution

From drafting Leo's first apostolic exhortation to championing migrants and the planet, Cardinal Michael Czerny is shaping the moral heart of this papacy.

Since JD Vance became VP I now cringe when I see ANY round-faced, blue-eyed caucasian with a full beard on tv or social media.
It is kinda a 'retch' reaction driven by disgust. 😵‍💫

A Great Year for US Stocks? Not Compared With Rest of the World

Check a ranking of the best-performing equity indexes this year and the US doesn’t crack the Top 10. You won’t find it in the Top 25, either. Double that, and the S&P 500 is still absent.
