Both are rat calibers and marginal for DG. ;)

Don't need to make them up. All ready for printing. https://brandfolder.com/s/trktmftbhrcpqjrmcjgk5cxm I had to Google "Hands Off 2025" when you mentioned it. I wonder who finances stuff like that. The signs read like a Democrat talking point, most don't even have anything with what Trump is...

Some industries, textile among them are never coming back even with a 100% or more tariffs due to huge disparity in labor costs. Many pages ago I gave an example between Target Chinese made sweat pants and American Giants sweat pants 100% made in USA. Cost difference was 10X. Average public is...

As a businessman how is one supposed to make long term plans? Add a 25% contingency cost to everything? One thing people want from their government is stability.

Please explain how increasing costs of everything imported helps reduce inflation. If something was costing $100 and now costs $125 that is reducing inflation? By definition inflation is a gradual loss of purchasing power that is reflected in a broad rise in prices for goods and services over...

Well, I am one of them. I saw this coming last Friday, so ordered a Hasselblad XCD 90mm f/2.5 V Lens then instead of waiting. The announced tariffs for Japan are 24%. On a $4,300 lens that is an extra $1,032 plus the extra sales tax on the increase. My Rigby double might cost an extra 10% when...

About 5 years ago I was sitting with my sister and my mom. We had a conversation about investments after a real estate sale for a decent windfall. We had a meeting at our banker's office the next day. I suggested gold and talked them into it even though the banker was not fully aboard. It was a...

If the pain is measured in months let alone in years, the GOP will lose in 2026 and 2028. When people were looking at economic indicators and saying Biden economy was doing well the counterpoint was that it was not being reflected on Main street. Same type of thinking applies now. People are not...

They did that with the CHIPS act investments here.

Depends on the car. I paid $5K above MSRP for my Lexus GX 550 and there is a 6-month waiting list. US car makers will be the ones hurting the most.

One thing to consider. It seems just about everyone is in the same boat. Is the cost of some lost sales offset by the cost of building and ramping new supply change when you know the administration policy on tariffs will change in a few years whenever Democrats come back to power.

I don’t get the logic. I buy goods from German companies manufactured in China. Before there was a 10% tariff. Now, there is a 25% tariff. So, my cost for a $100 item was $110 and now it is $125. I pass those costs to you with my markup. How is it a win? The only cheaper alternatives are...

The idea is that the tax cuts will stimulate the economy, resulting in more tax revenue. Also, if they can manage to cut a substantial amount of waste we might not go into debt much if at all. Now, some stuff is silly. Making car interest payments deductible is just encouraging people to get...

Near miss on a brain shot at an elephant. I know PHs that will not let clients using .375s take frontal brain shots on big elephants for that reason.

What I don’t get is why GOP runs the equivalent in these super red districts. MTG, Gaetz, Lauren Boebert etc..The Dems do the same as well. It seems the safer a district is, the dumber the candidates.
