    Bondi Beach latest: 11 people killed at event celebrating Hanukkah - as suspects pictured

    I guess the father was now determined to be a legal immigrant who had been evaluated by Australian authorities and was determined to be no ongoing threat. They had no criminal history and were carrying an ISIS flag and had reportedly pledged loyalty to ISIS. Australian politicians called for...

    Bondi Beach latest: 11 people killed at event celebrating Hanukkah - as suspects pictured

    How in the world can a person on a tourist visa have 6 licensed firearms? I guess Australia hasn't confiscated firearms after all if they allow tourists to walk around with 6 rifles!

    Bondi Beach latest: 11 people killed at event celebrating Hanukkah - as suspects pictured

    Iran has been at war with us since the hostage crisis under Carter. Our first real shot at them was the bombing a few months ago. We have basically been trying to appease the Iranians, especially under Obama. The Bushes would have attacked them, but they were afraid of them. George W...

    First we need to repeal this.

    I think U.S. immigration was essentially frozen from the 1920s until action in the 1960s headlined by the aforementioned act. I actually think that U.S. wages were rising too quickly for many industrialists here, and they wanted to slow the growth by expanding the workforce. Republicans are...

    Bondi Beach latest: 11 people killed at event celebrating Hanukkah - as suspects pictured

    I wonder if the guy who attacked the shooter will be prosecuted? If this happened in several Blue cities, like New York, the rescuer would be prosecuted and the armed guy would be released without cash bail. I tend to disagree with the Israeli Spec Ops vet however in it being a lone wolf...

    Has anyone here been affected by tariffs?

    Again, once your competitors do something shady and against American interests as a whole, everyone who wants to stay in business is required to follow suit or fold.

    Has anyone here been affected by tariffs?

    Exactly! It was aimed at China, but it affected other countries as well. China was the biggest offender and deliberately packaged items to fit under the de minimis allowances. That is exactly what I was referring to but I didn't post a link.

    Has anyone here been affected by tariffs?

    The tariffs overall haven't really contributed to inflation, but some individuals and small companies may be affected. I just asked the question. Probably the ones most affected are the ones who were getting things directly from China and bypassing the customs regulations previously.

    Hey! The Trump Administration agrees with me!

    Yep, I did quite a bit of research on cannabis several years back, around the time Alaska legalized it. It is not as innocuous as the pro-cannabis people claim, but it is not as dangerous as the anti-claim either. I think anything you can grow at home and use without extensive processing...

    Hey! The Trump Administration agrees with me!

    Rumor now has it that Trump et al. plan to move cannabis from a schedule 1 drug (along with heroin) where it has been for ages to a schedule 2 (along with cocaine). It is something I have advocated for several years. Congress could make it legal, but the FDA can just change the schedule, which...

    Has anyone here been affected by tariffs?

    No idea for sure, but it could be the "New Efficiency Standards";) in both the USPS and Canada Post. I read tales of all kinds of stuff going on with the mail in both countries. I read the story of several packages going from the center of the U.S. to San Francisco and then to Hawaii back and...

    King reveals 'good news' in his battle with cancer and urges people to get checked

    It seems like a higher-than-average incidence of cancer has occurred among the Royals. Is it something in their environment?

    Trump has apparently signed a trade deal with the EU.

    Very good @galty. I can see why the EU and perhaps the UK governments don't want their people to see such things.. One of the bad things about Socialism is that the people under it get so used to being cared for that they forget how to take care of their own needs. I suspect that that is...

    Metals, a Hedge or Investment Depending on Your Views... or a Sucker's Bet?

    They are definitely doing something shady. Word is they are buying up any large bond dumps to keep stocks and bonds from collapsing. We may be in for a bumpy ride. I hear projections of $120 silver by the end of the year. We'll see....

    Fruit trees.

    I have mentioned it to her, but she already has so many demands on her time that she doesn't need another. As far as what is unhealthy, everybody has things they worry about, and, while I believe in avoiding things that are easy to avoid, as you said @Kate Ellery drinking water and breathing...
