“Trickle Down” has nothing to do with tariffs. /pedant

But yeah… any gain a company or industry receives from a tariff will be more than offset by the tariffs other countries impose upon us. The US produces and sells a lot of things world wide.

Correct. The countries most likely to get into an actual shooting war didn’t sign the treaty. The US, China, Russia and some others did not sign the treaty.

The Democratic party could not even prosecute a guy who tried to murder Congress.

They could. They chose not to.

It makes one wonder if there really was a plot to murder Congress or if, perhaps, the Democrats were engaged in hyperbole.

Ahhhh!!! Thank you, good sir or madam!!

1967: Six Day War. Israel invades a variety of areas that it borders

You’ve made a pretty good summary, but I have one quibble: Egypt, Syria and Jordan were planning to attack Israel. Israel launched pre-emptive strikes.

Ok, I believe and understand what you say, but then that makes the AP story a little stranger. If no foreign, independent reporters are allowed into Gaza, then how does the AP know that Abed Bardini “…unloaded the stretcher with practiced professionalism, squinting into the late afternoon sun…”

I’ve noticed one peculiar paragraph in the AP story: “Abed Bardini was in one of two ambulances dispatched to the scene. Back at the hospital, he unloaded the stretcher with practiced professionalism, squinting into the late afternoon sun as he wheeled the body across the hospital courtyard. Inside, medical staff pulled back the blanket to check for signs of life, and Bardini’s strength collapsed.”

So the AP reporter just happened to be standing right next to Abed Bardini, performing his duties with practiced professionalsim while squinting into the afternoon sun?

He doesn’t have $270 billion dollars. He has $270 billion dollars worth of assets.

Very common. Almost every home built in the past 50 years would have one. Not sure about apartments.

I myself asked “What time of year was the lower photograph taken?” Then I realized I was being dumb, because if either photo was taken in winter time, we would see at least some ice in the water, if not a very large ice sheet.

Socialist governance seems to require concentrating an extraordinary amount of power in elite government decision makers; this tends to produce a new ruling class, the widespread deprivation of political rights for everyone else, and crippling poverty.

Pfft. No one votes for number 2.

How are they concealing it? I have heard news reports citing the Gaza Health Ministry’s claims of tens of thousands of casualties since the war began. I believe they are correct (how many are non-combatants is debatable).

Anyone who is paying even a little bit of attention knows that many civilians are getting killed. Only a small minority seem to care.

When is the last time a government agency was eliminated or had its budget cut?
