REPORTER: Do you support repealing Obamacare and what's your healthcare plan?

MIKE JOHNSON: We worked on repealing and replacing Obamacare back in 2017. I still have PTSD from the experience. We know that American healthcare needs dramatic reform. We have lots of ideas.

Monopoly and totalitarianism go hand in hand.

The only way to stop the growing censorship of Trump's critics is to fight the consolidation of media outlets into the hands of a few families that do not care about the best interests of the country.

Yep. We do.
Be sure to save your receipts for signs, markers, frog out fits and stuff.
Also eye wash for the bear spray & tear gas. And goggles for the 'non-lethal' ammunition coming your way. And helmets for the riot control sticks. Maybe apples for the police horses.
But stay peaceful.

Private equity is drooling over the prospects:

Apropos of nothing in particular:

1936 vessels have arrived in Singapore harbor within the past 24 hours and 1467 ships are expected to arrive in the next 30 days. There are 1000 vessels docked here at any one time.

It looks like a marine traffic jam.

The US and EU can antagonize China all they want. But together represent only 750 million consumers.

That leaves 8 billion or so for China and India to market to.
