  1. It looks like a good possibility to me. Likely will need to repeat a win over Steed and then defeat Mantanona. I might have misread that, it could be Ramirez.
  2. The judge will be overturned.
  3. I’m looking for a truck with stock racks.
  4. Don’t hear much about pushing to buy electric cars these days.
  5. We’re told this time there’s method to the madness. That this keeps things rolling while the administration and Congress make adjustments in the future. Congress plans on using reconciliation while the administration exerts Presidential impoundment. We’ll have to see what happens.
  6. Iran? (Persian for aryan)
  7. The start date for consideration is Jan. 20. I believe most consumers spend the bulk of their money on housing, food, and transportation, the prices of which are dropping and not rising. Their time is consumed with working, staying healthy, making it to wrestling or baseball events, etc. They see or hear the headlines but notice, for now, things are getting better, or at least, smoothing out. The stock market isn’t reacting to tariffs, it’s a normal correction that has been in the forecast for some time. It happens occasionally and there’s always an excuse, Arab selling, good news, bad news, war, etc. What was the similar drop attributed to in 2022, I forget. It would have started as soon as the election was over if it was caused by tariffs as Trump ran on increasing tariffs, it was not unexpected, nor unforeseen. On tariffs, why do people believe that 250+% tariffs on U.S. dairy products to Canada are fine, but 25% tariffs on Canadian products to the U.S. are catastrophic? The tariffs Trump imposed during his first term didn’t cause the harm that was predicted. They were mostly retained by the biden administration and in some cases, increased. In any case, they could only be said to have benefited obtaining the trillions of investments companies, many foreign, have committed to. Jamie Dimon isn’t real reliable. I bet you’re smarter than him, aren’t you? Just wanted to add that during these last few days of the stock market losses, our stocks went up.
  8. Egg prices are dropping; oil, gas, and diesel prices are lower; bond and mortgge rates have come down. And more, in less than two months.
  9. Schumer folded, will vote for the CR.
  10. Their only guiding principle seems to be opposing Trump at every turn. That puts them at odds with the majority of Americans, who predominantly agree with his positions and methods.
  11. Rubio addressed revoking the green card in the video.
  12. Are you obliviously, or intentionally being obtuse? The media and the bureaucracy are so overwhelmingly biased that when a conservative cites them as a source, or a reference, it’s not to say that they are reliable, but rather to say that even as biased as they are, they support my point.
  13. Great to hear. I’ve long preferred tube amps. It’s crazy how many songs were recorded using an old tweed Deluxe, Princeton, or Champ. Eagles, ZZ Top, everyone. Does it say where the guitar was made?
  14. For humor to work there has to be an element of truth in it.
  15. Losers can’t build or create anything of value. They resort to trying to tear everything down to their level.
  16. Well? @mspart
  17. Your quote is attributed to Balzac, of whom it is written “has also been a darling of Marxist critics going back to Engels himself, who wrote that he “learned more in Balzac than in all the historians, economists, and statisticians of his time.””
  18. None, they’re not eliminating teachers, just bureaucrats.
  19. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/nearly-half-department-education-staff-set-eliminated-imminently Other than the teacher’s unions the Department of Education is the biggest hindrance to improving education in this country.
