Witness tampering is a very serious crime @libertybele punishable by years in prison.

Witness tampering in the Impeachment trial of a US President. 

General Tso’s comment notwithstanding, the Chinese are vulnerable to economic pressure, as production has been shifting to other countries.

If SCOTUS Ignores The Constitution, Trump Should Ignore SCOTUS
John Daniel Davidson


The Supreme Court’s shocking decision on Wednesday to allow a D.C. district court judge to order the Trump administration to disburse $2 billion in federal grant money is a major blow to the separation of powers undergirding our constitutional system of government.

But the thing about separation of powers is that they stand or fall together. All three branches of our government — legislative, executive, and judicial — have to respect the Constitution’s clear separation of powers. If one of them doesn’t, there’s no reason that the others should.

Put another way, if the Supreme Court can simply disregard the Executive branch’s constitutional authority and allow it to be usurped by an inferior federal court, which is what happened, then there’s no reason the Executive branch under Trump should pay any attention to what the Supreme Court says in this case, because it’s trying to assert an authority it simply doesn’t have.

I did try many years ago, and it was difficult to find items needed that weren't made in China.  Look around your house and see how many items that you have lying around that are made in China.

As an example on my desk; staple puller, ruler, desk lamp, wireless keyboard, binder hole puncher, stapler, computer speakers .... all made in China.  Are there alternatives made elsewhere, perhaps ... but these items I purchased years ago so no, I'm not in need of them, just making a point.  I'm looking around and see a couple of other items made in other countries.  Not a whole lot made in the U.S.A.  - that needs to change.

Yes I get the difference between items needed and wanted. Whenever I do need something, I try to purchase made in the USA.  That's not always easy.

IMO it's becoming more difficult to buy American with Amazon now taking over brick and mortar.

Ridiculous. On so many levels.  The chinks ship shit products over here.  People buy it.  The stuff is inferior.  But we buy it to save money but in the long run we have to replace it in a few years to buy more of their shit.   

Since wind is an economic failure save very few locations, it is a colossal failure
