Once again, it's not just the tariffs. If the tariffs ended tomorrow and Jack Daniel's showed back up on Canadian shelves, there'd be no pent-up demand for it. We're talking about a full-blown cultural/consumer shift.

Not a hope in hell Branson runs a Manchester-Paris

The new Alstom trains for the Tunnel Virgin plans to order are continental European loading gauge, not UK, so can’t run anywhere beyond HS1 in the UK

So forget it

This is 💩

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

Seriously, Trump is about to bring America and NOT China to its knees with this. That every senior Dem stands around looking at their shoes while this happens is pathetic.

ICYMI — Trump lied that Chicago had “4000” murders, when it’s projected to have 380 this year (way down from last year)

If it’s so bad there why does he have to keep lying about it?

We are in a time of frightening darkness but people are still stepping up and doing the right thing.
We must keep kicking at the authoritarian darkness until it bleeds daylight.
