Remember back in the day when the US and Europe drove the global economy? The US handed a big chunk of their economy to China from 2000 to 2010. Europe did this from 2005 to 2015. What does the future hold? Is Europe becoming irrelevant?
Until recently, I think the war Americans feared most was World War III.
Increasingly, I worry that fear is being replaced by another: Civil War II.
If you call yourself a Republican or a Democrat, you’re either a politician or a tool. Don’t be a tool!
Ever since Jimmy Carter, it has always driven me nuts when politicians can’t pronounce NUCLEAR.
Let’s add NVIDIA to the list of irritants.

DOJ: Ghislaine, we will issue you a full pardon and immunity on the following conditions:
- You must swallow this arsenic delivery system.
- And you must release in a very slow and measured way only the names and damning testimony we approve.
If you violate these terms,👋

“My GDP chart shows free trade is working well because correlation is causation” is obviously nonsense, as everyone promoting this knows.
But to the extent you believe it, the chart you’d want is one looking at trend, not absolute level, and then you’d have no point at all.

It sure would be nice if US policymakers would listen to Pelosi’s comments here. 🤨
Incredible clip from 1996. Nancy Pelosi on tariffs and the trade deficit with China.
"On this day, your member of Congress could have drawn the line to say to the President of the United States, do something about this US-China trade relationship that is a job loser for the United States."
Thirty years later and our annual trade deficit is now approximately $300 billion annually with China. Our politicians did nothing to stop this. They sold out America.
Now politicians, including Pelosi, are saying that not only China, but all countries should be able to tariff us and we shouldn't respond in kind.
Virginia Tech football is dead to me. The #Hokies are in the minor leagues now and they’re not even a very good minor league team.
2024 is the first US presidential election where we’ve not had a Bush, Clinton, or Biden on the ticket since 1976.
Is this a modern day American revolution? Our forefathers fought to get away from the monarchy. The last 50 years has been a sad period in history.
Can someone please work with @elizabethkitley and @georgia_amoore to get them on this list? They certainly should be way up there. #Hokies

Once again, the media is claiming the ACC is a weak basketball conference. When will they learn?
The #ACC is now 11-2 in the tourney, with Duke, UNC, Miami in the Elite Eight.
No other conference has more than one team left in the tournament now.

The two-party system, where instead of having a diverse set of candidates to choose from, we just pick the lesser of two evils and call it democracy 🙃
The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.

A 30% sales tax is the same to tax payers as a 23% income tax. Don’t let the folks with bad motivations fool you.
$30/$130 = 23%
