I guess tell that to the hostages he rescued.
What "hostages he rescued"?
I guess tell that to the illicit drugs that won't be comming here through Venezuela via Columbia.
Venezuela has never been a significant source of illegal drugs coming in to the US.
You DO know that over 96% of the tariffs were paid for by consumers, and not the importers, don't you?
That's false.
Nope, it's true. Americans Have Paid For 96% of Tariff Costs, Study Finds.
Or, try the Cato Institute: The White House Still Can’t Grasp That Americans Pay US Tariffs.
The majority of the tariffs were paid by businesses and the costs were passed on to consumers,
That is the mechanism by which consumers paid for the tariffs.
but that is NOT the same thing as consumers paying them directly.
A distinction with no meaning. The consumers paid. If you want to argue that they paid indirectly... whatever. They still paid.
Therefore you cannot reasonably refund them directly to consumers... Not even they know how much they in effect paid.
Saying "it would be difficult to implement a repayment to consumers" is not the same as saying "consumers didn't pay for this."
That is not exactly correct. There is a reason they are called "tariffs" not "taxes."
Tariffs can bring in revenue, but they can also be used for public policy, and trade policy.
And likewise, taxes can bring in revenue, but they can also be used for public policy, and trade policy. What's your point?
A tariff is a tax.
It looks like there are fewer students needing to choose.
That seems to be more of a modern myth than actual reality. Data shows that undergraduate college enrollment went up about 1 % this year (https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnscresearchcenter.org%2Ffinal-fall-enrollment-trends%2F ).
Didn't President Obama and his special peace envoy to North Korea, former President Jimmy Carter, have a negotiated agreement such that they had a pledge from North Korea not to develop nuclear weapons?
No.
However, Kim Jong Un did meet with President Trump in June 2018 (but did not make any promises to abandon their nuclear program.)
Well that simply is not true. Leaded gasoline was in use for decades before anyone realized there were problems with it,
They already knew lead was bad, they just thought that the exposure would be too dilute to worry about. What they didn't anticipate was just how many automobiles would eventually be on the road.
"Redwood will turn those into a stationary storage installation that can help reduce Rivian's energy costs during times of peak demand, the companies said in a press release."

If power is expensive at peak demand, and cheap (or free) at times with no demand, it makes sense to use batteries to store the cheap energy and use it when energy is expensive
And a cartoon. We always had a cartoon before the movie. The pre-war Bugs Bunny ones were the best.
I'd mod this insightful, except I can't moderate topics I've posted in!
Agree, I like the trailers. If they had a showing of JUST trailers, I'd probably go!
The problem with ads is that they're repetitive, and hence boring.
I think it has less to do with that, and more to do with using UFOs as a disinformation campaign. Want a cheap way to flush out spies? Leak that we have alien technology, say it's in a warehouse in the desert, and wait to see who starts poking around.
And: want to get people to not take seriously reports of secret experimental aircraft being tested in Nevada? Make people think they're UFOs.
There is already a model for a rover to operate on Venus...
I like this one better: Venus Rover Design Study, AIAA SPACE 2011 Conference & Exposition.

Lunar rocks don't have any helium, either.
The helium (and the nitrogen) is in the regolith.
While the red states love to engage in Communism (government control of businesses - like one warehouse for all the states liquor) for the benefit of the wealthy at the expense of the poor.
Mississippi was a blue state until early 2026.
??
The last time Mississippi was solidly blue in presidential elections was 1956.
They did slightly go for Carter over Ford in 1976 ("slightly" meaning by about 1% margin) but in the wake of Nixon, and of Ford's pardon of Nixon, the entirety of the confederate south from Texas through Virginia did.
Other than that, Mississippi has been solidly Republican in presidential voting, usually by double digits.

Helium and Neon are available in the lunar regolith. So substituting them for Nitrogen is a practical solution if necessary.
Why would you do that? If you're harvesting the trivial fraction of a percentage of volatiles from lunar regolith, nitrogen is also available in lunar regolith, so just use that.
