Where are the 20 million missing Democrat votes ? - In 2004 John Kerry received 59,000,000 votes. - In 2008 Barack Obama exploded and 69,500,000 votes . - In 2012, Obama runs again, 65.9 million. - Then in 2016, Hillary Clinton runs, Hillary got 65,900,000. - So this is where it starts to get a little fishy. In 2020, Biden explodes and receives over 81,000,000 votes. By the way, the guy didn't really campaign. Everybody's like, oh my God, that is a record. Was Biden that popular? Did I miss something over the past twenty years here? - And 2024...

Genocidal Chinese dictator Xi Jinping arrived in Vietnam on Monday for a state visit whose top priority appears to be ensuring Hanoi’s support as Beijing faces soaring tariff rates meant to limit its influence on the American economy. The fellow communist country received Xi with a lavish ceremony in Hanoi. Xi, in turn, addressed the Vietnamese people in a column published by the national newspaper Nhan Dan in which he emphasized their identities as “friendly socialist neighbors” and asserted that a “tariff war will produce no winner.” While the “tariff war” comment is primarily a reference to ongoing tensions between...

For decades, the use of tariffs was considered a smart economic move to protect American entrepreneurship and markets for domestic producers. They were in place as America surpassed Great Britain in the late 1800s and early 1900s as the preeminent nation and economy in the world. They were in place during the Roaring Twenties -- first by the Emergency Tariff Act of 1920 and then the Fordney-McCumber Act of 1931. So why are they frowned upon now, especially by conservative economists? Five words: The Smoot-Hawley Tariffs Act. The tariffs applied from Smoot-Hawley are erroneously credited with prolonging the market meltdown...
