The bar graph is outside spending only, and Saccone really did a huge infusion of "outside money" and blew it. Pa. Special Election Exposed a Big Flaw in GOP Campaign Spending the final numbers are not in but of course money can't always buy an office. But in this case, Lamb ran many more tv...

One of the big hopes of the free traders was that if the US and other countries engaged in free trade with China, it would help free up the entire country, but that never happened, they are still an oppressive, totalitarian state. When did all this start? Probably with Nixon back in the...

Well, he is using that JFK-era law: Presidential Memorandum for the Secretary of Commerce I don't see what all this has to do with national security, either, can all aluminum be used in military weapons? Congress back then handed the POTUS power to tariff again...

No, Light, people have been asking this question for decades - President Trump & Tariffs: Congress Gave the President the Power to Level Them | National Review I know you're quite a history buff but his argument seems to be that the POTUS does it because Congress won't do it.

But that's not exactly what happened - true, the conservative, independent groups out raised him, but the Democrats outspent him: GOP, conservative groups have spent $10 million-plus on PA-18 special election - CNNPolitics Lamb has roots in PA a mile long, Gramps was PA Speaker of the House...

Yeah, PA-18 is probably going into a recount but it looks like Lamb did win narrowly. Never could see how it was anything but symbolic, now the winner will have to run again in six months and could even face a primary challenger. And then the district may not even exist as is after they finally...

I think and hope he softened up toward the end of his life: Stephen Hawking Admits Intelligent Design Is 'Highly Probable' I have no idea what has happened to him, only God knows. His work on grey holes and the possibility of multiple universes was just awesome.

Maybe okay to register for the draft before 21, but not actually eligible to be drafted. This is an enumerated right we're talking about here, it's like saying the 4th doesn't apply until 21, or there's no 1st Amendment under 21 - it will be found to be unconstitutional, unless there is a...

Well, The Whole Notion Of Texas Turning Blue Got Shot To Hell Last Night still think the Ds have an enthusiasm edge but now wondering about this one: New Poll Shows Conor Lamb Leading Saccone In Race For 18th Congressional District guess we'll see if those steel tariffs are all that soon...

Really? Well, we'll see later on tonight - I'd heard the early voting participation had a big D lead but there are yuge GOP names up that people may not bother to vote for in the primaries. I doubt they will ever be able to take out Abbott, Cruz, Paxton, Patrick although this "Pattterson" could...

6-10k according to the Zillow economist, yet these people claim: https://www.redding.com/story/money/business/2017/04/26/canadian-lumber-tariffs-impact-jobs-consumers/100929688/ quite a discrepancy, somebody here is dead wrong. But the above article does talk about the expiration of the old...

Yeah, but these tariffs are supposed to create jobs, not necessarily raise wages - that is already happening but what's unusual is these tariff hikes while the official unemployment rate is so low. I guess you could argue that the tariffs are narrow in scope, but this is steel, aluminum and...

Okay, you want a practical answer to a theoretical question? Look what happened in Australia's recent mandatory buyback, aka confiscation - they only had about five million in circulation and only had a compliance rate of 25% at the best. Now, this country has a lot more people but about as...

try: https://www.trade.gov/steel/countries/pdfs/imports-us.pdf read that they're all excited about this tariff in PA, they will benefit there short-term but I can't see how it doesn't cause prices to go up. Just sorry SF is using Chinese steel on that new bridge, the problems there are just...

No, McDonald said this: A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. applied to state and local governments as well. Odd anybody considers a gun confiscation edict at any level to be "Christian"...

Wilbur Ross, figures - okay, I find this fake billionaire (he was supposed to be one but under disclosure, he wasn't, so they kicked him off the billionaire list) hilarious but I do think he's a big protectionist from the old Democratic Party. He's about said he's for "fair trade", and he's said...

I really think the flaw in the Weimer Republic's constitution was the main reason for Hitler's rise to power but I doubt Smoot-Hawley was a factor. That tariff was different as well, over hundreds of products and did start a trade war, especially with Canada. They retaliated specifically with...

Typical Breitbart hyperbole, the headline- not that worried about any gun confiscation attempt, denial of due process will be fast-tracked to SCOTUS, where at least five of the jurists go on original intent on the 2A. Those weapons Wesley mentioned are all called "dangerous and unusual weapons"...

that's about what happened a few years back when Obama raised tariffs on Chinese tires (forgive the source but the data is accurate): Obama got tough on China. It cost U.S. jobs and raised prices now that's somewhat different than the Trump tariffs - Obama's targeted a specific country and a...

Well, to do it on a federal level, wouldn't you need a new constitutional amendment? Needed one for voting, and that right isn't even directly enumerated in the constitution. Disappoints me, and makes me think Trump is a gun-control NYC guy after all - I understand it would have kept the last...
