"In the five months since President Trump first announced sweeping tariffs, Amazon quietly raised prices on low-cost products..., a Wall Street Journal analysis of nearly 2,500 items found." wsj.com/business/retai…

Interesting piece by @Doug_Bandow for @TheFreemanMag.

ANOTHER MURDEROUS DAY IN THE KILLING FIELDS OF GAZA. Today, Israeli strikes killed 25 Palestinians in Gaza.  The 4 US-Israeli backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation food distribution sites are nothing more than killing traps.

What sane Iranian would trust the Trump administration?

Establishment thinking on the Middle East has produced one failure after another. It's rooted in the flawed assumption that we and our "partners" are capable of forcibly upholding an artificial regional order w/o incurring considerable costs. The result is endless violence.

Since it is a Trump trade deal, we can safely assume that both sides lost, with most Americans, other than a few of Trumpy's buddies, much worse off.

The arguments that people make for mass killing.

It there a greater suck-up in US political history than Speaker Johnson? Is there any legislator who has violated his constitutional responsibilities more than Speaker Johnson? Is there a political party more craven than the modern GOP?

Was Prez Biden sampling Hunter's wares?

I so loved that Iraqi and wished his aim had been a bit better. Heck, a knock on the head might have helped the Moron Bush gain some common sense. He is responsible for 100s of 1000s of unnecessary deaths. What a record to live with!

Someone badly confused about which country he is supposed to represent.

Randy Fine, a sitting U.S. Congressman, told over 2 million people to starve.

Israel really went from "we would never bomb hospitals" to "there are tunnels under the hospitals" to "Hamas is in the hospitals" to "most of the doctors are terrorists". They just really like bombing hospitals, don't they? x.com/Channel4News/s…

"The researchers found that unilateral sanctions cause more than 560,000 deaths each year worldwide — falling within a range that the researchers calculated for annual deaths from armed conflict" bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

There is nobody as powerful and prominent as Randy Fine who talks about Israelis the way Fine talks about Palestinians (and Muslims more generally). No one. And he will 100% get away with it because that sort of shit is, in America’s commanding heights, far more acceptable.

Time to start deporting citizens!!

If US is going to tell other nations how to run internal politics & judicial systems, we should also insist that every other nation name every building, school, base & whatever else exists there after Donny & family. Why should any decision any where be exempt from US control?

Obviously is time for Congress to pass legislation naming every federal building, installation, base & facility after the Trump family. Indeed, it should mandate that all private universities, concert halls, buildings, and more be named after the Donald! cbsnews.com/news/house-rep…

🇮🇱🇵🇸 Palestinian man walks in Hebron with his arms raised. The Israeli soldiers shoots him in the back. Why?

Donny apparently believes that he was elected "God" rather than "president."
