I never heard of them before yesterday when NPR ran a long 45 minute piece on my car radio trashing them. NPR repeated the piece this morning. NPR clearly disagrees with Christian Nationalism. I don’t know what to think. NPR did not tell us what Christian Nationalists believe or what their ideology might be. NR never mentioned any Christian National leaders, let along give any names. No mention of a Christian Nationalism headquarters, or a party newspaper, web site, radio station, or just a party email list. No mention of Christian Nationalists working in the Biden administration or the previous Trump administration

What is the tariff deal between Britain and the EU after Brexit?
Something like 1/3rd of British exports used to go to the EU tariff free. Boris Johnson promised to do Brexit AND keep British goods tariff free. I never did hear how that worked out. A quick Google didn’t tell me anything. You would think paying tariff on 1/3rd of your exports would hurt and we would be reading screams and cries from the wounded. I haven’t seen any, yet.

A Ten Year old girl is pregnant.
And they won’t give her an abortion. I fear going thru pregnancy and child birth is very dangerous at 10 years old. I never heard of a pregnancy in a girl so young, but some helpful person posted that it happens very occasionally. I think a girl/young woman ought to be at least 18, mostly full grown, before getting into childbirth. I don’t know if the 10 year old story is real, but, I think any state writing an abortion law ought to have a clause authorizing abortion for the very young, no questions asked. Young, girls can make mistakes, and I believe we ought to permit the girls to correct such mistakes. Was I writing the law I would allow abortion for any girl younger than 19.
Biden does not like the Supremes about repeal of Roe vs. Wade
Biden was on TV, in his new replica Oval Office, objecting to Row vs. Wade just now. Most of the time he was just calling the justices names, he was not making any point of constitutional law, common law, or common sense, he was just calling them names. That does not help him, or the country. The Supreme Court has been an important part of American government since Marbury vs. Madison, which was a long time ago.
We citizens see the court as fair and principled. To hear our elected president tearing the court down does not go over well. Criticism or suggesting a better way we understand and like. We don’t like personal attacks on justices. You would think an old head (very old head) like Biden would know this. This might be from WRBA who provide Biden's speeches and TV clips and probably don’t know this.

Who is Running Biden's America? (WRBA for short)
I am pretty sure that Biden is just signing what is put before him and reading what ever is on the teleprompter. I have seen little to nothing suggesting who the people writing the executive orders and putting speeches on the teleprompter are. Weekend Pundit once suggested it was Biden's wife. I don't remember anyone else saying anything at all.
It would be nice to know who is driving America over the cliff.
Not sold in stores
The TV runs ads for all sorts of pills and plasters. They will make you sleep, cure bags under your eyes, fill you up with good freeze dried fruits and veggies, cure all sorts of things that I never heard of before. If you believe the TV ads they can cure anything. A lot of ads don’t bother to tell us just what the advertised drug is supposed to cure.
None of these miracle products are sold in stores. They are all mail order. That makes me wonder if they really work. You would think that if they worked they would be on the shelves of drug stores along with the aspirin and Tylenol and nose drops and what ever.

How long does a recession last?
Depends who you ask. Ask an economist and he will say the recession is over when GNP and/or the stock market stops going down. This usually happens 18 months after the recession kicked off.
Ask a real person, and they will say the recession does not end until wages, prices, and jobs have recovered to where they were when the recession stuck.
For instance the last recession, Great Depression 2.0, kicked off in the winter of 2008-2009 after a bunch of really stupid loansby big banks went bad. Economists said it was over by 2010. In many ways it is still with us, 13 years later. Lesson: don’t trust what economists say, they lie a lot.
It is business men that end recessions. They work hard and do nearly anything to get their sales back up to where with used to be/ ought to be,
