Are people actually buying more goods, or is the dollars spent number inflated by increased prices for imported goods due to the tariffs?

Hate the gambling ads...too many, and unless you're a gambler they don't even make sense. And the fact that they're tied to sporting events, where illegal gambling is an issue, it is certainly not in the public's best interests.

Hope to God they can do something...this has been allowed to go on for too long, and the murders continue to pile up.

I watched both my parents suffer from the effects of polypharmacy. My dad on 14 prescription drugs, mom on 11. Needless to say, I am doing everything possible via diet, exercise and supplements to avoid going down that path. Now 75 and only take HRT. So far, so good!

We can thank the U.S. Supreme Court for this. He thinks presidential immunity means he can do anything he wants without consequences, but that doesn't cover those carrying out illegal orders. Hope they all know that.

Just sayin'...blowing a civilian airliner out of the sky is a Ruskie tactic and a blatant illegal order to the military, if he tries it. Just daring someone to try to stop him.

Exactly what the Congressiinal 6 were warning about...definitely an illegal order, and multiple personnel are likely complicit in carrying it out.

When does he start serving his sentence, and will he be serving it in prison? I hate when the news media leaves out details that constitute "the rest of the story".

Yes, we thought there was a lot of evidence presented in the J6 hearings...this will dwarf that by hundreds if thousands of documents and video evidence.

Talk about having egg on your face! This is such an embarrassment that Rubio and his band of flunkies should crawl into a hole and chill until the furor over their incompetence dies down...like for 3 years.

I credit Zelinsky with being way too savvy to accept any of the red herrings they are throwing at him. He knows bullshit when he hears it. Hope he stays strong and trusts his European allies...they have their own sovereignty and security at stake as well.

Agree completely! So glad I read to my son; he is now a lifelong reader. I myself was read to by a favorite uncle, and my grandma was the city librarian. I spent many hours with her at the library and she encouraged me to read about a broad range of subjects. I am very thankful for that experience.
