    Forbes should know that Russia is not a trading partner as far as I’m aware there are no tariffs on US products going into Russia the opposite, we have much stronger sanctions on Russia than tariffs

    I actually think Doug Ford is smart to get it over with quickly. The Ontario economy will boom. US citizens will return to spending money on Ontario. When I was young, Michigan residents visited Sarnia for dinner, movies, concerts, hockey games, motorcycle racing. Now the costs are too...

    I posted last summer gold was going to $3300-$3500. The market has been on artificial stimulants for too long. The markets in a tizzy, it doesn’t like the uncertainty. But. Interest rates are going down, energy costs are coming down. Scott Bessent says they are now moving from tariffs to...

    The Democrats are yelling the sky will fall and US citizens will pay an additional $5k per household due to tariffs. I’m old enough to remember Biden inflation costing the average household $17k per year. With zero benefits at the other end of the pain. Tariffs should result in benefits to...

    Any country could have these tariffs removed tomorrow if they wished. Trump only slapped on average, half what each country has on the US in barriers.

    The final tweaking is going on right now. Then announced in a few hours. and I would guess it’s gonna be touted that as long as there is a solid commitment that Company will be off the hook. As Mdwest says. Many companies are haggling right now to get off the list.

    I agree. If these tariffs go for 6-18 months the republicans are toast. Usually politicians print and hand out money.

    I’ll take a stab at playing devils advocate for the tariffs. Most politically savvy administrations put forth proposals and legislation that benefit the administration in their 4 year term. Delaying the pain 10 years down the road . This is the first time I’ve ever heard of an administration...

    Wisconsin and Michigan are going more and more liberal. I could be wrong. I’m guessing the voter ID proposal passed because it required the voter to read and comprehend a lengthy proposition at the bottom of the ballet.

    Are the horns just broken? Or are they broken and broomed off. Are they smoothed down from wear? They appear smooth and broomed off to me.

    More proof of my preference for age. My buddy and I were on a moose drop camp hunt. He shot an ancient 15ish yr old bull. I was jealous. Then I shot a bull in its prime. I preferred his bull and he preferred mine. His was 63” no points, saggy beams and 4” thick front palms

    Another point worth making is Zelenskyy must be happy that Trump shamed NATO into getting more engaged. Even if it is out of spite from chiefly liberal European leaders.
