Seeing elected leaders and journalists hiding under their dinner tables should be another wake up call to America to consider how traumatic it is to witness first hand the threat of gun violence. Now imagine your an innocent child in a school being faced with the same situation. Shameful America.

The US Needs a Strategy in Venezuela, Not Airstrikes
With the deployment of the USS Gerald R. Ford, the world’s largest aircraft carrier, the US has amassed a fearsome array of assets off the shores of Venezuela: dozens of advanced fighter jets, thousands of troops, guided-missile destroyers, special operations forces, armed drones, gunships, possibly a nuclear submarine. More useful, however, would be a strategy.

Four things can happen when a tariff hits: 1) Foreign firms cut prices 2) Retail margins get squeezed 3) Retailers pass it on to you 4) Some imports just stop Latest data: #1 didn’t happen, #2 a lot at first, #3 a bit so far, and #4 in spots. Bottom line: Americans (#2, #3) are paying the tariffs.

Durable goods price rose in the first 6mon of 2025 higher than any 6mon period since the 80s. So… unemployment + inflation ⬆️, GDP growth ⬇️. Kinda bad 😬
