Please stop overestimating what a democratic Congress can do. The oligarchs are spending money to make you think a Dem Congress can arrest people and hold trials and pass laws without a POTUS signature so that you’ll be disappointed when they don’t do stuff they can’t do. Don’t fall for it.

What does a sniper position at Memorial Circle actually defend against? Not China. Not a submarine. Not a missile. It overlooks a bridge, a traffic circle, and the front door of the National Mall. Those are places where Americans march. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

A question. What would you call a center where you save all that flock camera data merged with auto registration data merged with insurance data merged with SSA data that people freely supply and update each year? Heck, they will even pay you with credit card data to keep it.

So, the earth's core has slowed to the point where it spins slower than than the crust instead of faster. Will it cause the magnetic poles to switch polarity if it continues to slow? Is GPS ready for that?

This tariff ruling is causing considerable confusion. But one thing is clear. 100% of any tariff refunds will be paid to corporations that passed on increased costs to consumers. We paid the tariffs. They will get the refund. Prices won't come back down. The people will get screwed yet again.
