+1 to your entire post.
I never get tired of seeing that "Fight, fight, fight!" image above.
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

6gunsUS Will Impose 100 Percent Secondary Tariffs on Russia If No Ukraine Deal in 50 Days: Trump
The president announced the tariff threat against Russia as he hosted NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte at the White House on July 14.
President Donald Trump threatened to impose a 100 percent secondary tariff on Russian goods, if Moscow doesn’t agree to a deal to resolve the Ukraine conflict within the next 50 days.
“I’m disappointed in [Russian President Vladimir Putin], because I thought we would have had a deal two months ago, but it doesn’t seem to get there,” Trump said as he hosted NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte to the White House on July 14.
“So based on that, we’re going to be doing secondary tariffs. If we don’t have a deal in 50 days, it’s very simple, and they'll be at 100 percent and that’s the way it is.”
Rutte arrived at the White House on Monday morning as part of a planned two-day visit that would include meetings with Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, and some members of Congress.
This is a developing report and will be updated with additional details.

Do we import much from Russia?
I guess this would significantly raise the price of nesting dolls. See, tarrifs do cause inflation.

oddballOver the weekend, Pam Bondi fired 20 prosecutors and support staff who worked with Jack Smith and his bullshit investigations into Trump and Jan 6th. I remember her firing 14 of them back in late January. And reading elsewhere, there is likely going to be more firings of Jack Smith stooges in the future.

vthokyPhooey on Russian vodka.
We can make vodka here in the states.
Politicians seem to have forgotten that they work for us, not the other way around.

FOXNEWS.com: Supreme Court rules on Education Department cutting half its staff he Supreme Court cleared the way for the Education Department to fire half of its workforce on Monday, a move that advances President Donald Trump's plans to dismantle the department.
The high court's decision in McMahon v. State of New York was issued 6-3 along ideological lines.
It arose from a lawsuit brought by 20 Democrat-led states, who asked the court to halt the Education Department's plans to lay off half of its employees and eventually shutter altogether.

We buy Uranium from them, wish he had put it into effect today, 50 days gives the Chinese and Indians enough time to stockpile before tariffs go into effect. Also gives the Russians time to finish their summer offensive. They had enough warning should have been today.

nhtagmemberminor clarification on the tariffs
I believe its a 100% tariff on Russia's trading partners as well, not just Russia itself

sjtillOur First Lady--who, I will remind everyone, is from Slovenia, in Eastern Europe, so she knows these people--has educated the President about the real Vladimir Putin.

Trump reveals Melania's key role in dealing with Putin on Ukraine war
First lady points out Russian attacks that follow diplomatic calls between Trump and Putin
President Trump on Monday suggested that first lady Melania Trump convinced him that Russian President Vladimir Putin has continually backed out of his promises over a possible peace deal with Ukraine.
Trump was meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte when he spoke with reporters about the ongoing war.
He explained that his wife pointed out Putin's false promises following Trump's phone calls

"I go home. I tell the first lady, ‘You know, I spoke to Vladimir today. We had a wonderful conversation.’ She said, ‘Oh, really? another city was just hit,'" he said.
"There's times I'd get home. I'd say, 'First lady, I had three most wonderful talk with Vladimir. I think we're finished.' And then I'll turn on the television, or she'll say to me one time, ‘Wow, that’s strange because they just bombed a nursing home,'" Trump recalled in another conversation. "I'd say, ‘What?’"
Moscow has repeatedly attacked Ukraine with drones and missiles following calls between Putin and Trump.

old rugged crossI think it is ridiculous to think The President does not know exactly who he is dealing with and that the first lady needs to educate him on the topic. Get a grip fella's.
For crissakes. He has some of the most knowledgeable individuals on the planet in his administration on the topic and she ain't one of them.
