It's called business. Does Venezuela, which used to produce 3 million barrels a day to 1 million, have the resources to rebuild its oil industry? No! Going into buisness is with the US should be good for them as well. However, oil companies in the US feel uneasy because we are planning on rebuilding a competitor.
@Kasparov63 That means the war would never end, and sadly, Russia has more manpower, more supply growth in weapons, and many missiles in reserve, and plans to exceed the production of air defense missiles and fight this war for years to come. Putin doesn't want to stop either, like you.
@McFaul Like the Keystone pipeline that cost hundreds of jobs and would have helped lower energy prices. The Dem doctrine is this: limit supply growth in the US for climate change, but have other countries do the polluting so we can beg them to keep prices down.
Social Security funds have been an issue for years, but Democrats have been using them for elections. But both parties have swept the problem under the rug. Trump's first tariff round, before it was struck down by the court, would have been a great option for Social Security funding. Now we have to find another way, and the next President faces a very difficult decision.
Carney says that Trump is trying to break Canada, and now they are less reliant on the US. Stats say otherwise: 715 billion dollars in trade with the US, and 89 billion for China, which is their second biggest one. No, Carney, Canada relies heavily on US trade, far more than on trade with other countries.
Prince Harry and Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex are running out of money. They can't make it on their own. 15 months ago, Prince Harry said there was no reason he would move his family back to the UK. None! Well, Prince Harry and Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex are moving back to the UK; not only that, but Harry is now in the process of trying to mend the damage he and his wife caused for 6 years! Also, there are whispers of his marriage being in trouble. Not only that, but what is The Duchess of Sussex going to do in the UK when the vast majority of the public doesn't like her, and she has no friends there?
Provisional income affects many people when they retire; you pay into Social Security after taxes, unlike 401 (k) s. But laws put in place in the 1980s for what was considered wealthy back then are affecting middle-class people today. Your SS gets taxed again...Single: Up to 50% taxable above $25,000; up to 85% above $34,000. Married filing jointly: Up to 50% above $32,000; up to 85% above $44,000. It is insulting to listen to politicians who want to tax the wealthy for government programs, but yet do nothing about this tax on the middle class. Making 25,001 dollars is not wealthy by today's standards, nor is 32,000 or 44,000 considered wealthy nowadays. Back in the 1980s, it was, but why hasn't this been changed? Why have the politicians allowed this double tax on retirees to continue to happen after all these years? This is not just a Democrat Party issue; the GOP, which has been in power, has done nothing with it either. Despite hearing how the wealthy should be taxed by Dems, and tax cuts by the GOP...What about the little retiree guy or gal or future retirees? @realDonaldTrump@DonaldJTrumpJr@BernieSanders@SpeakerPelosi@MikeJohnson@SteveScalise@tammybaldwin@CoryBooker@SenSchumer
While I applaud the efforts of Ukraine for defending its country and admire how successful drones have hit key targets in Russia, it hasn't reversed the overall occupation map in a strategic way. Ukraine needs to develop its own ballistic missiles, which would be a game-changer, and air defense needs to be strengthened, as Russia has a ton of resources to use.
Hey Mickey...The claim that official Make America Great Again (MAGA) hats are made in China is false. The official campaign hats sold through his website are manufactured entirely in Carson, California, by a company called Cali-Fame Headwear. MAGA hat is heavily counterfeited, millions of cheap knockoffs sold at roadside rallies and online by third-party vendors are manufactured in China, Bangladesh, and Honduras. Ties, this is true, his company outsource them for cheaper labor like many other companies do. Same with Flags, Refurbished Phones: This is misleading. Donald Trump does not have a personal line of refurbished phones. Gold Sneakers: No confirmation.
After the Netflix deal and a 20 million dollar podcast debacle, Hollywood has decided that Meghan Markle isn't marketable, so her pursuit of an acting role didn't fall through. For the millions they invested in those two, they got negative results.
@hodgetwins Since when have Tucker Carlson and the Hodge twins ever cared about how Israel practices their religion? Your gripe is about wars that Israel gets into and the US, not how people practice their religion.
@Kasparov63 I think voters who voted for Zohran Mamdani in the city of New York are a lot closer to China now than Trump would ever be, even before the alleged Taiwan attacks.
