Bargain price to hold off a tariff. A cot and three squares at the US taxpayers expense.

What’s next—mandatory pink triangles for LGBTQ people, blue triangles for immigrants, crescent and stars for Muslims, and other symbols for political dissidents? Sound familiar?

Irony: ln 1492, King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella expelled and forcibly converted Jews and Muslims during the Spanish Inquisition. Many left for the Ottoman Empire including the Holy Land.

The crisis of masculinity stems from forgetting what it means to be a true gentleman—one who is respectful, mindful, selfless, civilized, educated, sensitive, and well-mannered, always putting others before himself. A role model we rarely see in media and society at large.

As a Catholic, meh. But as a movie goer, it was excellent with amazing cinematography and cast. It made me to look up the definition of “simony”.

Sadly it’s becoming the norm for authoritarian countries. Replenish bargaining chips by holding travelers hostage. Exchange them for concessions later.

Reminds me of the Red Guards during China’s Cultural Revolution, where loyalty to the cause was valued over expertise.

California has an open primary system. Under this system, the top two vote-getters, regardless of political affiliation, advance to the General Election in November. Californians may elect a weaker candidate in the primary to allow a Kamala win.

California has stricter environmental regulations than the federal government. As the largest state and economy, its standards often set the benchmark for industry, influencing policies across the rest of the United States, regardless of changes to federal regulations.

Jordan, caught between Iraq and a hard place, has gone above to host war refugees from Iraq, Syria, and Palestine. The royal family itself are refugees from Hijaz. With the influx of Gazans, the threat for another Black September 1970 is concerning, when PLO attempted to overthrow the government.

This indicates that Mr. Stephen Miller lacks the resources to deport 11 million people. They divert personnel from other departments—such as the DoD, Coast Guard, and state and local police—pulling them away from their core duties for a task they are unqualified to perform.

Solution: Abolish the hukou system and expand access to social services, including education, healthcare, and housing, regardless of a person’s registered home location.

Keep an eye on zinc prices
comment in response to

Possible outcomes:
1.People may hoard pennies.
2.Consumers may be shortchanged as merchants round up.
3.The price of zinc may be affected (primary medal in pennies)
4. This may be a moot issue as we move towards a cashless system.
