The entire GDP of the United States was $29.1 trillion in 2024.

(A) That number Trump cites is obviously not true.

(B) If that much investment poured into the American economy, even over 10 years, it would overheat like a broken-down Ford in the Mojave Desert in July.

I was trying to come up with a list of all the "spooky" cartoon shorts made in animation's Golden Age. Cartoons with ghosts, haunted houses, vampires, Mr. Hyde, and so on.

I think this list is complete. Did I miss any???

#Halloween

The actual lanterns are about a fifth that size. The glass is not clear, but frosted. Inside is a normal "flickering light" translucent tube like you'll find in every other LED "lantern".

The Kaliqos sell for four times as much as any other LED "lantern".

Kaliqo is duping consumers with these "realstic flame solar-powered lanterns". They look enormous, almost like a 15-quart bucket. The flame in their ads looks realistic, too,

It's a lie.

No, seriously. This is not photoshopped. She really looks like that.
