    U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he is waiting to hear from China before duties of more than 100% take effect, but other administration officials said they would not prioritize negotiations with the world's No. 2 economic power. http://apple.news/Ae6po2kgnSCeRdYunJL4ytA

    Hamas attacks Israel

    Israeli Israelis? Does it matter? No idea. Do they? Nope, but I have no reason to doubt you. Why? Why would I have no reason to doubt you? Why were they on the brink of Civil War?

    Hamas attacks Israel

    Ok. What percentage of Israeli’s are Israeli’s? Pretty sure there wasn’t survey done the morning of October 7 2023 with respect to religions.

    180 countries at the same time though? Apparently there’s only 195 countries total, so somehow he missed 15 of them?

    Hamas attacks Israel

    Sorry, what? Are the majority of Israelis Israelis? As in, citizens of the nation called Israel? Is that something that can be agreed upon?

    The Tarriff Hype.

    Trumps long-awaited announcement of “reciprocal tariffs” turned out to be nothing of the sort: to calculate the trade barriers other countries impose on the U.S., the administration simply took each country’s trade deficit and divided it by its exports to the U.S. This back-of-the-napkin math...

    Interesting. From the outside of the religious end of things, I’ve learned something new today.

    Mark Carney (Trudeau Liberal Replacement) as PM

    Last December, as calls for Justin Trudeau’s termination were heard nationwide, the polls showed overwhelming support for a Conservative supermajority. Why, there were even whispers that the Liberals wouldn’t retain their party status in the new legislature. Since then, the tables supposedly...

    Pierre Poilievre

    Mr. Harper appeared at Mr. Poilievre’s rally in Edmonton on Monday night to introduce the Conservative Leader to a crowd of thousands who packed into at a warehouse south of the city. The rally, which is the 11th of the campaign, was the largest one so far, with organizers saying upwards of...

    The Tarriff Hype.

    China refused to bow to what it called "blackmail" from the United States as a global trade war ignited by President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs showed few signs of abating on Tuesday, even as battered stock markets steadied. Beijing's rebuke came after Trump threatened to ratchet up...

    Hamas attacks Israel

    That’s a really good question. I’m kinda on the outside of this religion thing. What do secular Buddhists get reincarnated as/to? Still on the outside of the religion thing… If someone says they’re gay, I don’t need to know if they’re a “real” gay & if so what of the 72-ish categories or...

    Good question. What is a Jew, vs a “real” Jew & other subcategories?

    Do Germans want to buy another $80B in American (call it North American) autos? Is that a consideration in this balancing act? What’s their current total of North American autos worth? $40B? 20B? 10B? Somewhere between 10 & 20 Billion $$$? Are Germans going to purchase 4-6 or more (?) fold more...

    Trudeau announces Amira Elghawaby as Canada's first representative to combat Islamophobia

    Ok, thank you. Shitty situation, but if it’s “the same as” then the language would be the same as, right? Thus apparently it’s not “the same as”… Though, in looking for the words Terrorist or Terrorism at your link…I found those words (not “the same as” those words) used once. Since it’s your...

    Dep I was more curious with respect to the dollar figures that Trump was throwing around, & %’ages, etc…in the above article and wondering how much of that was real, and how much of that was in his head: Like: “We have a deficit with the European Union of $350 billion — it’s going to disappear...

    The Tarriff Hype.

    President Donald Trump said he wasn’t considering a pause on his plan to implement sweeping additional tariffs on dozens of countries despite outreach from trading partners eager to avoid the levies, while still signaling he could be open to “some” negotiations. “We’re not looking at that,”...

    Mark Carney (Trudeau Liberal Replacement) as PM

    The Bloc is getting a little pissy with da’Libs: “I don’t feel the love. I don’t feel interest for Quebec. I don’t feel interest for the differences. I don’t feel interest for the language. I don’t feel interest for the culture. I don’t feel interest for anything which is Quebec,” he said...

    "We are going to fight these tariffs with countermeasures, we are going to protect our workers, and we are going to build the strongest economy with a chicken in every pot and a Volkswagen in every garage. We will fight them on the beaches, we will fight them and their bitches, we will fight...

    The Tarriff Hype.

    All three major U.S. stock indexes fluctuated abruptly on Monday. After three days of consecutive declines on Wall Street, the indexes suddenly rose earlier in the day on reports that Kevin Hassett, a top Trump adviser, said the White House would consider a pause on all countries but China...
