That is Pepper, my cocker waiting for the mailman.
I wouldn't think him important enough to attract a few seconds to sign a pardon so I guess it depends on whether he has friends that can submit executive pardons in the stack of executive orders signed, but probably unread, every day.
Peter Navarro is 75 years old. Maybe his day in the light of genius is fading and and his day in the cognitive scaffolding of his brain is emerging in an inflexible, narrow, misguided caricature of his former, more broader, genius.
Well, I guess people can just boil add disinfectant (bleach?) to their milk until the evaluation of alternative approaches (WTH does that mean?) kicks in next year.
This rhymes and has me scratching my head.
It was a mistake but we stand by it and will keep the Harvard money.
It was a mistake but we stand by it and can't bring him back and will pay El Salvadore to keep him.
Oh, now that I put it that, it sudde…
What's not to expect. The entire government web info structure will become just a political or social attack on enemies of the serial_killer/felonious_fuhrer.
@fred495 And I woulda have thought the answer would be: "don't know 'til I see the brown of their noses". Oh, I see, that's the new definition of instinctive in the new and great again Webster's.
Some great, recent stuff from Katie Stockton.
Left this old lady with the feeling that I may be too old to even hope to see a leveling off, much less a recovery, during my dwindling lifetime.
Something is not right. With the way I visualize money flows, exemption is paramount to subsidize. Since some companies have lower taxes (exemption from tariffs) and incentives to keep their manufacturing outside the US (exemption from tariff on par…
If I pay the tariff, can I still buy whatever book I want from another country or will I be having contraband shipped?
double OT:
How do tariffs work on Internet services? Can I link to a Canadian website or will websites that have not paid tariffs…
@Old_Joe "The Social Security anti-fraud team has worked around the clock in person to improve technological capabilities and they are now able to identify fraud on claims filed over the telephone."
OK, my computer guru, Does that mean robots will m…
Difficult to compute how Bullish even garnered a blip much less 28.5%. Where do those folks see the sunshine?
Tomorrow, tomorrow
I love ya tomorrow
You're always, a day away
No tariff on Russia. That point has been made. I do believe Ireland is missing from the list, too. Curious. At any rate, the method for computing each nation's tariff charged by the USA is... um.... f***ed.
Maybe the creative Trump algorithm showed…
But election security is so bad they want voter ID to solve it. Have it both-ways-ism is getting quite popular these days. And, it appears to sell well. The Wisconsin election results seems to indicate the voters buy into the voter fraud meme.
Some benefits, such as survivors’ claims, can’t be filed online—making an in-person visit the only option for grieving families.
One way to get kill off old people. Maybe they will starve or end up in the street and just die like we DOGErs planned.
Opps - peeked. What goes up...must come down. Hopefully forming a rather symetrical hill. Ski day has cometh. I simply must go find something useful to do.
But then people will shift their attention back to the destruction of the entire government instead of their retirement accounts. Can't afford to stop the destruction of the world economy until said destruction of the US government is complete. Dist…
Based on morning news:
Does it fortell any trends that China is fighting back but Vietnam is capitulating?
Understanding the US Tariff List: Implications for Vietnam
Trump Raises Tariffs on China to 54% – Overview and Trade Implications
But is it buy or sell time?
So, I guess OPEC lowered prices. Good for US oil companies. Not their stock today. Chevron and Exxon down 4 to 5 percent. ConocoPhilips almost 10 percent. But, with cheaper OPEC, prices at the pump? down?
Nah, they would only enroll in for-profit or religious schools dedicated to the goal of making them more ignorant but politically correct. On taxpayer dime, of course. GED content can change depending on who certifies and pays for the content.
Years ago I worked in a lab that was tight on space. One team leader, when space would open up, seemed to know it before anyone else and would grab the space before it was available by going to the next higher boss and tell him that he had a visitin…
Maybe they have cornered the market on super beets and are going to find, based on a research paper published by renoun scientists at Super Beets, that it is the cure-all for everything. Research proves that, not only will it cure cancer, replace fa…
@Mark For login.gov, after I went through all I described above, login.gov simply asked at a new site if I was OK with sharing my information so, after SSA, I shared it with OPM and VA. The IRS only uses ID.me so it was the only one I had, prior to …
@Mark You made me curious about ID.me so I first logged into IRS to make sure it worked at a site I had successfully used it for (last time maybe a week ago). Then I tried id.me at SSA.gov and it worked there too (I don't think I have ever used id.m…
A couple of days ago people started reporting that they could not even login into their social security accounts. Since I have had both a login.gov and ID.me account since their inception and, since getting them setup, have never had a problem, I de…
