Ignore the link but it gets to my point. First let me say, I voted for Trump 3 times, had a Trump flag hanging out front and support 99% of what he does. My concern are the uncertainty with tariffs. I have asked customers on a daily basis for the past 2 months how business is and across SS the board the uncertainty of the tariffs is KILLING business. We sell to these companies and we are dead. Most manufacturers are dead and businesses overall are dead. I can’t believe this has gone on for so long. I think if...

Seriously, these idiots are going down this road again? Wasting tax dollars, dividing the country. I really hope people reject this “bigley “ Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.) on Tuesday started the clock for the House to vote on his seven articles of impeachment against President Trump. Why it matters: House Republicans will likely move to table — or kill — the Thanedar's motion, forcing Democrats into a tough position on a vote many of them would rather not take. Thanedar's move forces the House to take action by the end of the week, unless he withdraws his motion. Spokespeople for...

Hello All, After 38 years at my company, I was laid off today. I have never been jobless since I was 14 years old. I could really use the input from you all here---about applying for unemployment, sites to look for a job, what to expect, how to use or invest what I have---here are some items I need help on handling--a side note I'm 57 YO: 1--I took a 401K loan as we had a few rough years and had to pay off some debt. How do I avoid the taxes and defer to the following year? 2--Should I...

Democrats will keep their majority control of the Pennsylvania state House of Representatives next year after holding onto a Johnstown area seat Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee President Heather Williams said retaining the House majority was “one of the most challenging yet important priorities of the cycle,” and that her party will be “a critical check on Republican extremism.” Burns, a conservative Democrat who supports gun rights and opposes abortion, has regularly found himself voting against his fellow House Democrats. He has long been an electoral target of Republicans, while many other similarly situated western Pennsylvania districts long ago flipped to...

McCormick's campaign pointed out most of the remaining uncounted votes come from "ruby red Cambria County" and claimed victory in the tight Senate race.

DISENFRANCHISEMENT: At least 50 voters in Levittown, PA at the Lower Bucks Government Services Center were denied the opportunity to vote in person today. Throughout the afternoon, certain individuals paced the line of voters making statements like “oh the lines really long we should just come back.

At approximately 3:45pm poll worker Michael Bannon allegedly began informing people that they would not be permitted to vote today, 75 minutes before @GovernorShapiro’s 5pm deadline. Around 4:30pm people who had been in line for over an hour were...

I didn't know how to post without having a link so I apologize. I have to be honest, for most of my life (in sales), the harder I worked, generally the more money I made....more on that later. We are savers---putting in 401K, stocks, mutual funds, some precious metals, have property. We had no debt (except our mortgage----2.3% and under $100K). Recently we had a few things---our son's wedding, property taxes (up another $800 this year) car tires needing to be replaced, air conditioner crapped out, cost of food, gas, utilities, etc. We ALWAYS pay off any debt immediately but...

I was trying to get a list of all the most recent trans-shooters but everything that comes up is "trans that are killed by XXX" or "mass shootings committed by white men". I have used Brave search, Duck Duck go and and they give almost the same crap results as Google. Are there any others? It's so frustrating that no matter what I search it's always the left's slant on it...

An Arizona man has been detained after he allegedly made several social media threats to kill former president Donald Trump. Ronald Syvrud, 66, made the threats over the last few weeks, a spokesperson for Cochise County told CNN. The spokesperson didn’t say which platform Syvrud used to make the threats. The Benson resident has several outstanding warrants, including DUI charges, felony hit and run, as well as failing to register as a sex offender, the Cochise County Sheriff’s Office wrote on Facebook. The Sheriff’s office added on the social media platform as a “public safety consideration” that “Syvrud is being...

District Judge Christopher C. Conner of the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania has issued a ruling granting summary judgment to the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners, declaring the state’s law banning the carry of firearms in a vehicle without a license unconstitutional. He also ruled that a ban on firearms possession without a license during a state of emergency is facially unconstitutional and has enjoined Pennsylvania State Police Commissioner Col. Christopher Paris from enforcing these provisions.

According to the old cliché, opposites attract. And there may be no greater example of this than the odd, interesting, and for the country beneficial relationship between Larry Fink and Donald Trump. Yes, you read that right. Fink and Trump. A match made in heaven? No, to be more precise, made on Wall Street, with the uber-globalist BlackRock chief of ESG fame once serving as Trump’s money manager, and the GOP populist former president (and according to polling, likely future prez) still seeking out Fink for insights into the economy, The Post has learned.

I don’t like rap and I usually don’t trust people with tattoos above their neck but this rapper is spot on with this song!! Enjoy! Trump needs to play this at some point during his rallies.

Trump raised the idea of providing US aid to Ukraine via loan so that it might get paid back. But Republicans on Capitol Hill are skeptical that will happen. "I just think a loan ends up being a grant," said one House Republican. There's a relatively new idea floating around the political world, and it's being pushed by former President Donald Trump: What if Ukraine aid came in the form of a loan?

After nearly six full days of debate, South Carolina’s Senate approved a Constitutional Carry bill on Thursday by a vote of 28-15, removing the last major hurdle for the state to become the 28th in the nation to recognize the right to bear arms without the need for a government-issued permission slip. The bill, which was already approved by the House last year, still needs to return to the lower chamber for a final concurrence vote since the Senate did amend the legislation before giving it their stamp of approval. The amendment would allow people 18 and older to carry...
