The fact that our military was perfectly happy to use weapons abroad in violation of the War Powers Act doesn't bode well for us when they are asked to use weapons at home in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act.

The economy they said they'd improve turned bad and became Joe Biden's economy, and the air travel crisis they created became Joe Biden's air travel crisis, and the war they said they'd end stayed bad and became Joe Biden's war ...
Apparently, with great power comes no responsibility.

Hurricane season starts June 1 and if you live in a Gulf state, you need to watch this. It’s worse than you might think.
The few employees still left at FEMA admit: they are not prepared. Not enough staff. Not enough supplies. Not enough leadership. Plan accordingly.

Stupid aspect is that if Trump wants Walmart to eat the costs because they made billions in profit, that I dunno, maybe tax companies with huge profits and keep the consumer out of it? You know, tax the wealthiest a bit more so everyone wins in the long run? Just a thought.

Europeans don't need ugly American cars. They have governments that are forward-thinking, which provide buses, subways, and high-speed trains, unlike America, which would rather order another aircraft carrier it doesn't need than help its citizens get to work.

Japanese and Chinese markets are down 8% and 10% respectively. Black Friday in 1929 was -11%. Tomorrow could easily be the worst crash in American history.
The worst thing? It’s 100% intentional.
