Re: The challenges ahead (Biden's America)
The Dow did not remain above 40,000 today and in fact closed slightly down (-0.097%) from yesterday, but the Biden campaign still seized the moment. And there it is! Today the Dow Jones closed above 40,000. That's never happened before. And as noted above, Donald Trump said in 2020 that if Joe Bide...

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney
Ah, thanks for that correction. I thought the defense argument was, in part, that Michael Cohen did this on his own (and as far as I have heard, we haven't seen a copy of the agreement signed by Donald Trump himself) out of the goodness of his heart rather than at the direction of Trump and then Tru...

Donald Trump today, speaking outside the courtroom, appeared to acknowledge that he was a party to the non-disclosure hush money agreement with Stormy Daniels. One part of his defense has been to claim that he had no knowledge of that agreement until after the fact. In this case, if the prosecutors ...

Re: US Supreme Court Discussions
Speaking of Justice Thomas, he still won't say whether or not he paid back the principal of the $267,000 loan he received in 1999 to purchase his RV, i.e., whether the loan was really a gift and thus subject to income taxes that he should have paid.
