Good catch ... not that I agree.

Lucky you. My stock account is down $50,000 from Inauguration Day.

I'm thinking there is no danger of any knowledgable person being called for service by the current occupier of the White House. Why? Judging by who has thus far been called to serve.

And conform to the list of demands, which must be conformed to, sent to Harvard before funding is restored?

Glad to see if corporations have money to do further investments they do not need government subsidies nor tax breaks. We can certainly agree on that ...

Oh, yes, that is the way it will work ... we need the money for the stated Project 2025 goals to be reached.

Ignorance is no one's friend. As you may be a foreign bot or just an American ignorant about American public education ... the USA has 50 state education systems as public education is controlled by the states under the Constitution. Then, in each of those states, there are local school boards, elected by the residents in the local school district to oversee the funding and curriculum and graduation requirements in their schools. Hope that helps your comprehension concerning US public schools.

Yea! we don't need to stinking education we are MAAGA and got common sense! Ignorance is no one's friend. As you demonstrate ...

Went to hit the "laugh" meme but ... well, I am American and I have been critical of Trump and his Project 2025. I even have gone as far as the Trump Executive Order against two other Americans having declared that the 2020 election was secure and fair. Cautious times on the basis on documented actions being taken by trump ...

Because that has a lot to do with research on completely different subject matter? It is interesting, looks like "politicslly corrupt" has switched sides ...

"... a great president... ". You are not going to be happy with the continuing documented history.

We don't need no stinkin higher education research ... we got common sense.

Including interstate air/water pollution ... oops. Sorry but I lived in both the Delaware River and Ohio River ares where interstate pollution needed both the state and federal regulations ... but now we are free from those health protective pesky regulations inhibiting the free market!

Richest country on the globe with trump declaring the USA has been ripped off. I agree, what goes around comes around I thus I have trepidation of what follows the trump/Project 2025 fiasco.

As an oenophilist (wino) that was my first hope. 0% import taxes on wine! Hey! It's heart medicine ... both the red wine chemical benefit and putting me at ease with a smile on my face!

Movie, "The Deer Hunter" will come to mind for some. Bit of a different context though ...

Appears SCOTUS is taking a wait and see approach. While I would hope for an ultimate trump smackdown on the limits he is pushing, I grumpily understand waiting to see how the cases play out while moving up to the SCOTUS definitive decision. At least with this latest pause, the Court did order that some "due process" must take place before they deport us!

Hmm, confused. I use my synced iPhone, iPad, MacBook Air even an old iPod and I am far from being a millionaire (OK, unless we use Thai baht equivalent). Happy camper. Full disclosure, I also own a very few shares of Apple stock.

What I shake my head at, Mike is ... trump says all these other countries have taken advantage of the USA robbing us of income while by most measures, we are the wealthiest country on the globe. And now ... more ... "America First" we want even more wealth while cutting off medical aid/food/water from those suffering. We are rightfully becoming a pariah nation even among those who, while recognizing our faults have remained friends.

Thanks, but I think I will prattle on as the 1 million baht spent here brought in from the USA is taxed, whether that be at the food stores, restaurant, gasoline, house maintenance fees, etc. Now, if you want to specify income tax? Bit of an issue as that is already taxed and covered by mutually beneficial tax treaty.

Tell the diversity issue to Dory Miller or all those returning US military who fought in WW I, WW II only return to voter literacy tests (hmm, might discuss the need for this applied to all voters), Jim Crow Laws and lynchings. Yes, authoritarian dictates are the most effective governing in the short term. Criticize the government policy and we will arrest, deport you. Does make me ponder ... and I am an American.

One of my cross cultural lessons here. Drive the car off the lot in USA and value immediately drops as a used car. Here prices relatively high but used cars keep their value longer and maintenance considerably lower. But then, I am American and so comparative costs are widely different.

Oh yes, I thank you Trump as you are forcing more around the globe to face the worst of the American character. many have observed but have also faced some good along the way from Americans. thank, so much, of removing any of our saving graces ...

We don't need no stinkin DEI. Let us return to the days of yore when blacks were to be cooks/mess employed, and there were no stinkin female midshipmen. For those ignorant of history there was a need for forcing change against the "redlining", lynchings, education segregation, etc. Yes, I would agree, there should be no racial, ethnic, sexual, etc. discrimination in the USA but ... anyone ready to deny that white males appear to be attempting to turn back to their historic hold as they become increasingly a minority feeling they are being discriminated against? Should we expect any difference from the earlier minority reactions against feeling discriminated against? Never mind that a little thought makes one face the reality of difference in the circumstances. Get back to me when we see white males being lynched, being limited in the Navy to serving in mess roles, to hitting a "glass ceiling" forbidding white males becoming officers or heads of corporations ...

So many thoughts rush at me from my study of history, being an American growing up in the multi-ethnic Philly area and having spent my working life as an educator in Western Kentucky (I was introduced to culture shock going off the college there at age of 18). Having additional study in seven countries but ... sorry, an deep and exhausting topic ... and it is time for a nap ...
