Americans — especially those in red states — are about to learn a very painful lesson about how tariffs work. Despite Trump’s idiotic claims to the contrary, American consumers will soon pay higher prices because of Canada’s 25% retaliatory tariffs, in response to Trump’s tariffs.

Treasury stays silent.

White House stays silent.

Why the secrecy? Time for an explanation and full transparency.

The USA has had two major plane crashes in the last 4 days.

The USA had previously not suffered a major plane crash for 16 years.

‘DEI’ programs have existed for decades.

So what was it that changed in the last 14 days or so to suddenly cause so many crashes?

To console myself as I wait for the EO that will cancel the Dept of Ed, I'm going to post quotes pointing out the value of education, especially for democracy. I think this is a good one to lead with:

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use the change the world.
