Where's that Global Warming??!!


I guess you have no problem with the CHINESE LOCATING THEIR COMPANIES IN THE U.S.?

The same guy that has been "cheerleading" every one of Trump's tariffs against CHINA.

You sound CONFUSED.




You sound CONFUSED.


Nope.
I'm pretty clear on movielover "cheerleading" a CHINESE OWNED COMPANY setting up shop in the U.S.

You sound CONFUSED.



What's wrong with Geely/Volvo/Zeekr setting up plants in the US? They're excellent cars, and if they can be made here, it's a win-win for workers and consumers alike.

Car prices worldwide are coming down because of Chinese autos, markets that will be completely closed to Chinese manufacturers like the US will have much higher car and truck costs, putting us at an economic disadvantage.


Everything you say is true.
Tariffs limit consumer choice and increase prices.
Except that this is not what Trump's tariff policy is designed to do.

Mr. Wonderful Kevin O'Leary says it's effectively our reciprocal 10-12% VAT tax.

Great news. Peter Navarro discusses why Retail Sales Growth exceeds all Wall Street projections, and prices continue dropping.

The Census Bureau report yesterday highlighted that consumer sales remain strong at +0.6%, significantly higher than all economists forecast.

MAGA.

Sounds like you had a "staycation".
I don't blame you given the current rate of inflation under President Trump.

Gringo tacos, or the real deal? Gourmet Burritos in Lafayette is different. Have yet to try a deep fried quesadilla... that seems to be the 'new' thing.

In the public consciousness, Epsteingate is like the Beatles after their 1st appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show. Every other political story or scandal, real or imagined, is like Peter, Paul and Mary after the Beatles 1st appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show.


*A series of nice tries, however.

All 17 intel agencies confirmed Russia influenced our elections.
51 former intel officials confirmed Hunter's laptop was Russian disinformation...

"Throughout history, and particularly in the 20th century, dictators and authoritarian regimes frequently renamed places, institutions, and even holidays as a means of consolidating power, erasing past influences, promoting their ideology, or establishing a cult of personality.

Examples
Soviet Union: Joseph Stalin's era saw numerous cities and landmarks renamed in his honor (e.g., Stalingrad, Stalinabad) and many places named after communist figures or concepts. After his death and during de-Stalinization, many of these names were reverted.

Nazi Germany: Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime systematically renamed streets, squares, and towns, often removing references to political enemies or Jewish figures, and replacing them with names honoring Nazi leaders, martyrs, battles, or German heritage.

Maoist China: During Mao Zedong's rule and the Cultural Revolution, there was a widespread effort to rename streets and public spaces with revolutionary or communist-themed names, such as "Red East" or "East is Red" streets. However, this often led to logistical issues and some names were later reverted or adjusted.

Italy under Mussolini: Benito Mussolini's regime also used renaming as a propaganda tool, for example, the Foro Mussolini (now Foro Italico)."

Of course, the Mafia Boss is threatening the Commanders with losing their Stadium.

"I may put a restriction on them that if they don't change the name back to the original 'Washington Redskins,' and get rid of the ridiculous moniker, 'Washington Commanders,' I won't make a deal for them to build a Stadium in Washington," Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform on Sunday.

Biden's idea or that of Native Americans? If you are Italian, how about naming a team the Guineas and its mascot, Luigi the Organ Grinder?

…..and you can stick a couple of these on your front porch.

The Redskins changed their name because it was an ethnic slur, and the Indians changed their name because they had a racial caricature for a logo. That's it.

"Native American Guardians Association (NAGA):
This group, based in North Dakota, has been vocal in their support for the original name, arguing that it is a term of pride and respect for Native Americans, not a slur. They have even filed a lawsuit against the Washington Commanders, the team's current name, for defamation and conspiracy.

Pride and Tradition:
Some Native Americans feel that the name Redskins represents a part of their heritage and culture and should not be erased. They see the name as a symbol of honor and respect.

Polls showing lack of offense:
Some polls, including a 2016 Washington Post poll, indicated that a majority of Native Americans polled were not offended by the name. "

CNBC: Trump announces 'massive' trade deal with Japan with 15% tariffs

"Trump said that Japan will invest $550 billion into the United States, adding that the U.S. will "receive 90% of the Profits."

"He also said Japan will "open their Country to Trade including Cars and Trucks, Rice and certain other Agricultural Products, and other things." "

"...Japanese automobiles imported into the U.S. already attract a 25% tariff in line with the rest of the countries."

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/23/trump-announces-massive-trade-deal-with-japan-with-15percent-tariffs.html

I imagine more trade deals will follow. Will US rice sales really penetrate Japan?
