Carney: "This isn't the first time Americans have tried to use tariffs to break us. Before he became president, William McKinley was an Ohio congressman known as the 'Napoleon of Protection.' McKinley championed the Tariff Act of 1890. It put 50% tariffs on our exports to the U.S. Sound familiar?"

Oh, honey . . . You place your children in the custody of priests, pastors, and youth pastors, a demographic proven most likely to molest children. You are *not* protecting and nurturing your children—you're endangering them. And shamelessly lying about Islam and feminism isn't going to change that.

This is strange blowback from trump's war with Iran. Milei previously avoided the topic of the Falklands/Malvinas. With elections looming and low popularity he needs to grab onto something. Trump is butthurt about Iran and wants to take it out on NATO. The Brits won't stand for it. Delicate.

The Rush-Bagot Treaty of 1818, between the US and UK to demilitarize the Great Lakes, explicitly calls it Lake Ontario. An executive order can’t change the law to rename something, and it certainly cannot override a treaty, which is the supreme law of the land.

Obviously this is garbage white supremacist bullshit generally, but among other things it ignores the periods where Europe was poor and parts of Africa wealthy. Equally, if it was all innate genetics, why is the racially diverse United States so much richer than nearly-all-white Poland or Croatia?

What Dolly taught us is that it is in fact possible to be wealthy beyond your wildest dreams of avarice but still be a fundamentally good person with a strong moral compass, and the only reason more rich people aren't like that is because they don't want to be.

Ok so a surprising & surprisingly large use for celery: Juice it, dry the juice into celery powder, & use it to make natural/organic cured meats. Celery juice has a lot of nitrate in it! So upscale cured meat makers can just use celery powder for nitrates, & sell it as "nitrate free."
