For most of us that comes naturally, but when you are married to Vance, I guess it's a struggle.

(2/4) One of the most important lessons I’ve learned from 60 years of business is to accept when I’m wrong and change course. The US government’s sweeping tariffs are taking the world’s economy in a dangerous direction. They will make people everywhere worse off – especially in America.

Jeffries: The notion that everyday Americans need to absorb pain brought on by Donald Trump and his group of MAGA billionaires is ridiculous. Every single House and Senate Republican supporting this needs to be thrown out of office.

I'm sure it is. Trump was best friends with Epstein for at least a few years. He admires men who are sexual predators because he is one too.

Mexicans had the spine to vote for a woman. In fact, the two top candidates in the election were both women. Pres. Scheinbaum is a Jewish scientist. I wish women had the same opportunities in the US as they do in Mexico.

Why are American taxpayers going to bail out scam artists losing money in the crypto markets? We are going to borrow more money to pump it into the crypto market to enrich scammers and leeches who produce nothing of value for humanity?

The Tate brothers are adults, so they could provide the supervision. They weren't convicted. Besides, their grandfather is a sex offender.

I believe Trump has eliminated the assumption that the President of the US is the leader of the free world. Zelenskyy is taking that role through his ferocity, guts, and love for his country and justice. The world's President.
