I wonder if Liberty Univ will be diversifying its viewpoint.

Only because he has made it so. If he loved and accepted his daughter like most parents he wouldn't be railing like this.

I don't understand how people think he is strong. He is the biggest whiner on the political stage.

I use blue sky exclusively over Twitter and in my experience the condolences about kirks death out numbered the vile posts at least 10 to 1. In general the worst I saw were posts lamenting his death by violence while also noting his bigotr

I hear where you're coming from but an independent Fed has worked pretty well since it was started. Mistakes have been made, of course, but afaik they were based on bad economics, not politics. Making the Fed more political, especiall

We might be better off if Musk ends up chatting with Ani 24/7.

The answer is probably yes. There are so many documents and so many rules that it's probably hard to be perfect. The difference is how people respond when notified; do they try to keep them or do they cooperate and give them back?

Maybe. On the other hand the only times Trump won was against a woman.

You have somewhat of a point except...the Democrats forced Biden to sit out. That's one of the major differences between R and D right now: D's largely force out the problems (Biden, Cuomo), the R's line up behind the p*** g

I debated with myself on whether to use "naive" but it seems the most appropriate description. I barely know Woz outside of a 3-hour lecture but it appears that Jobs took advantage of his naivete, lying to him on multiple occasio

That graph is wrong. According to Wiki [0], Harris got 75m votes in 2024, Trump 77m. [0] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_ele...

Woz gave a lecture in one of my classes years ago and I came away impressed. He was obviously a brilliant engineer. "Naivete" is generally used in a negative manner but he had just enough naivete to get through life happy. He t

Do you have any evidence it was shut down by the Fed? I looked briefly at the BPP numbers and they aren't that far off the CPI. There were even a few times it was lower than the CPI. There was a 2 year period that BPP was noticeably

I briefly scanned the BPP data and it was pretty close to the official CPI. The BPP is usually a bit higher, and for a short time noticeably higher, but they generally converge. https://thebillionpricesproject.com/datasets&

Tariffs raise the price in tangential ways. Tariffs on Chinese steel means US chicken wire producers switch to more expensive US sources. Increased demand for US sources make it even more expensive. Farmers buy the more expensive chicken

That's a pretty neat idea. Do the price aggregation sites (eg. camelcamecamel) do anything like that?

Good response. I might suggest not using housing because so many people treat it like an investment, which means its value goes up faster than inflation (if it's a good investment). But otherwise I totally agree with you.

I am surprised at how low Nolan Ryan is, given how good he was and how long he played (27 years!). I guess he wasn't as good as I thought.

Or maybe video games. Lots of teen boys staying at home playing Xbox instead of getting into trouble.

"They're eating the dogs. They're eating the cats." That was the president lying on a nationally televised debate, the purpose of which was to lay the groundwork for exporting poor people who were here legally.

There is no multiverse where Trump would knowingly allow someone to mock or criticize him. If Musk grovels enough Trump may let him back; he loves emasculating his rivals.

I have absolutely no sympathy for Musk but the president--any president--shouldnt be able to do this.

I am very much an anti Trumper and went into the article with some trepidation but I thought it even-handed, if shallow, overview until the very end. The article correctly points out the disaster of Smoot Hawley and the effectiveness of GAT

If you don't think panics are a bad thing I don't know what to tell you. Can you point to a panic that was good? My point about Bryan is that the gold standard was causing so much pain that he rode his solution to the nomination.
