He's a pretty solid meteorologist. Always paid attention to him when I lived in South Florida.

I'll be heading to Niagara next Thursday (the 12th). I plan on walking across the border to Canada to see the falls with my passport card.Just in case you all don't hear from me afterwards, call the US State Department. ;)

Well, then talk to your representatives to deal with the revenue side of things and work with Democrats vs shove this 'big beautiful bill'.

The fact check from Charlie Kirks post is interesting.So, why did Trump use the IEEPA to levy these massive tariffs instead of the trade expansion act? Are there limits/conditions to that act?

Trade deficits dont hurt us. It means we have more wealth to buy more than the other countries. Having a trade deficit with Vietnam isn't hurting us.And the courts didn't decide a course of action. They just said yours were illegal Donnie...lol

That's on top of current deficit spending.

... it was a joke.

It doesn't add to our deficit. It subtracts from our net income.....

I'm sure folks can estimate tarrif impacts using the price tracker websites, like camelcamelcamel. Prices are usually fluid though.

If anything, it should help identify American made options or options with smaller tarrifs. Probably still screwed on basics, like plugs, cables, extension cords.

Prior to that, there was a deal on the verge of happening, but 9/11 happened and ruined that chance.

The only thing I'd like clarification on is why the judge lacked jurisdiction.I believe, the issue is that ICE likely automatically requests anyone arrested on suspicion of being an illegal immigrant or a gang member be detained for them. Florida likely has a statewide stance of cooperation...

So much for the, 'you have to do it legally. Even folks following the legal path are now being detained. The intent has to be a chilling on all legal and illegal immigration. I'm really getting concerned about the collateral damage.

What do you think Chuck?

And now Trump is floating the idea of letting illegals stay here if they are farm workers, hotel workers, etc. Like wut?!?
