Think about your life. Tariffs will be added to what you pay for items. Your food (fruits, vegetables, meat, coffee, tea, chocolate) is imported and will be subject to tariffs. Medicine, medical machinery, machine parts, building material, wood, wood chips, car parts and computer chips are all imported.…
Last Thursday’s presidential debate, not surprisingly being called the worst in American history, supplants the first 2020 presidential debate between the same two candidates, also termed “the worst” by some and described at the time as “chaotic,” “painful,” and “dispiriting.” The bar was set pretty low in 2020.

To answer, it’s important to first understand how international trade works.…
Can you imagine a defendant in your own county, berating the local judges and staff and their families after a grand jury of ordinary citizens had indicted him for stealing from you, fraudulently selling you worthless goods, or for abusing your daughter?…

On Thursday, February 22, McIntire returned to his alma mater, Hartwick College, to give the 2024 Leslie G. Rude Memorial Lecture, titled “Investigative Journalism and Democracy,” appearing at the invitation of the college’s Institute of Public Service.…
The national media has been in step with our Democrat/Globalist party, for a long time, blinding us from what is really taking place in this country. We are watching the well-planned attempt to take over our country which is on fast track now. The goal is one political party with full control.…
