    The Trump Card...

    I still remember typing right here in these forums something or another about the Sprinter's throttle body. My mind said turbocharger, the conversation in the thread was about turbocharger, but my fingers typed throttle body. It happens. Sean Spicer said in his first press conference, "This was...

    The Trump Card...

    When you do a gazillion interviews on a gazillion subjects and the questions and answers volley back and forth in rapid fire, it's easy to misspeak. It can be explained pretty easily. When Obama visited Buckingham Palace he signed the visitor's registry "24 May 2008." It was 2011. Did he...

    Will Trump's Take on Trade Be Boost or Bust for Fleets?

    Not wrong. Anyone within the US, regardless of who they are, have the same protections under the Constitution as a US citizen. One of the reasons Gitmo is still open is because if they close it and bring all the detainees here, they'll have the protections of the Constitution, like the right to...

    pop ups

    Load 1 pops up on mine, using the Chrome browser on Android. As far as I can tell, it only does it once per session, as long as you don't log out. There's a pretty clear X in the upper right hand corner to close it.

    She just misspoke. That didn't stop people from having a field day with it, though.

    I can't recall any of the previous 7 presidents offering citizenship to anybody, per se. Only Congress can do that, according to the Constitution (Article I, section 8, clause 4). That, as well as one of the biggest benefits of being within the US borders is that whether you're a legal or...

    Growth in U.S. Services Industries Was Steady in January

    That's the Institute for Supply Management’s non-manufacturing index, which has nothing to do with minimum wage. The ISM Non-manufacturing Index is an index based on surveys of more than 400 non-manufacturing firms' purchasing and supply executives that investors can use to better understand the...

    About half the farm workers in question are legal, the other half illegal. Having the illegal farm workers go through the process to make them legal isn't that difficult.

    Did Trump win the election because the Russians hacked the election to help him, or did Hillary win the popular vote? Liberals believe both of these things. How can both be true? The answer is, of course, both cannot be true. Anyway, this is actually kinda funny. :D

    The Free Speech Movement started at UC Berkeley in 1964 after students protested en masse when administrators tried to restrict their political activities on campus. Just thought I'd throw that out there. :D

    Fun fact: The US has more miles of navigable inland waterways than the rest of the world... combined. The geography of our relative isolation with regards to the rest of the world, combined with those inland waterways keeping us connected to the rest of the world through maritime trade, is what...

    Nope. Just more than one. He's said he's going to bring "jobs" back, but he hasn't put a number on it. He'll redo some of the trade deals, and a lot of the taxes and regulations that inhibit jobs in the US.

    Winter Weather

    Among the several animals that hibernate for at least some parts of the winter are bears, chipmunks, skunks, bees, snakes, and groundhogs. People need to just stop waking that poor animal up.

    They are more or less one in the same. Free Trade agreements, at least since the end of WWII, are intended to promote globalism. Globalism and free trade is good for corporations, and is thus good for Wall Street. Wall Street investors constantly pressure public corporations to improve their...

    U.S. and Mexico appear to take first steps toward renegotiating NAFTA, document suggests Lots going on behind the scenes with NAFTA. It's more fun to report that the cast of Friends all hate each other, though.

    The Trump Card...

    The NFL might get a boost in ratings, at least initially because of the "can't look away from the trainwreck" effect, but the blowback of Colin Kaepernick's stunt has already cost them ratings and serious money. The last thing the NFL wants to have happen is for them to be viewed as taking sides...
