What is Megan Kelly trying to say? I think she knows abusing is 15 year old is still paedophilia, and statutory rape.
Why the distinction with age? Is this somehow to make Epstein less of a monster so if relationship with Trump comes out, it is not as damaging?
Is MAGA moving the goalposts?

Decided we'd go somewhere special for vacation this year.
So, brought home a world map, gave my wife a dart, and solemnly promised we'd go wherever the dart she threw landed.
Long story short, next year we're spending three weeks behind the fridge.

The Canadian manufacturing advantage.
Stability and access to raw materials.
Japanese companies are expanding car production in Canada.
Smart reasons.
Tariff free steel and aluminum, inexpensive clean power, stable trade agreements with rest of world that are not changed on a whim.

Swedish manufacturer of the Gripen fighter has made an offer it is hard to refuse.

This is a better fighter for us than the F35 and the manufacture here cinches it.

Funny how the MAGA friendly media was all about investigating the Epstein files when they thought it might expose Democrats.
But, now that it's clear Trump was involved, it's "move on, nothing to see here"

Just for fun, perused a couple of on-line grocery flyers from the US.
Conclusion - Canadians crossing the border to shop will no longer be a thing.
US food prices - expensive!
Most prices more than in our stores, and paying with $US, currency 35% more valuable than ours!
Trump tariffs?

If Danielle Sith (not a typo, she's a dark being) would propose high-speed rail as a national project instead of wanting to shove a northern pipeline down BC's throat , maybe she'd get fed support.
But, then her oil buddies wouldn't like a green project that'd take thousands of cars off the road.

Danielle Smith tried to sneak a major coal project on the eastern slope of the Rockies past Albertans.
She got caught, had to back down.
Now she's paid $100s of million of our tax dollars to compensate big coal.
She paid them off, but forced the teachers back to work.

Their guest stated majors like Walmart & Superstore have same price as independents, so thinks evidence of not gouging
I think majors could go less, but up their pricing to match local stores
