And just like that, the tariff decision arrives, and X algorithm goes from 100% wailing about a coming war with Iran to 100% tariff talk.
Bizarre.
P.S. the USS Ford is just arrived in the Western Mediterranean.

Crazy to think the Koch brothers’ billions of dollars didn’t bring about the victory the free market Republican Party they supported, but destroyed it and made way for Trumpism, a bad copy of Xi’s Chinese Communist party.

Another article that describes in detail how and why drug prohibition fails…
while refusing to name the failure out loud.
Don’t ignore addictive “recreational” drugs, but don’t pretend prohibition is a solution.

No college: get nothing.
Paid off loans already: get nothing.
Avoided loans by picking cheaper college: get nothing.
College paid by scholarships: get nothing.
College paid by enlisting: get nothing.
Take loans next year: get nothing.
Unfairness makes folks mad.

Dear America,
The right-to-life movement harassed patients, blocked sidewalks, burned down clinics and murdered doctors for years.

Since all Americans can carry guns at all times, let’s at least make brandishing a gun a federal offense with a 10 year sentence.

Can’t do that.
If he were to be replaced it would be with a far more conservative Republican. Outside of Manchin there is no chance a Dem gets elected to the Senate in W. Virginia.
We are stuck with him as the best of the worst.

Why aren’t Afghans defending themselves? Where are the all-women militias that helped the Kurds in Syria? Where are local defenders?
(P.s. in most cases, we know where the Afghan army is—running away as fast as it can.) cnn.com/2021/08/11/middleeas…

Cryptocurrency is freaking out.
If they have to report who is buying and selling, how can they keep money laundering thru crypto without exposing their clients?!?
And without money laundering, what’s the point? washingtonpost.com/business/…
