Confronting China takes the focus off Pelosi. We can confront China without her advice or direction and investigate her earnings. How ridiculous is it to investigate mine? ---

Yes the worst decline since 2020. Trump has put the DJIA lower by a bit than what it was under Biden. ---

I am voting Conservative but have seen Carney and his speech on CNN a couple of times. Trump has condemned the Conservative leader twice and has said he can work with Carney. Why won’t Carney answer the questions about his stock opinions posed by the media and the Conservative Party? The guy until recently was a citizen of 2 other countries I seriously question his loyalty to Canada. Michael Ignatieff was a leader of the Liberal party and a citizen of France where he owned an estate he inherited. When he lost his attempt to become PM and failed to get re-elected as PM he moved to France. Carney has little long term ties to Canada compared to the Conservative Party leader. Vote Conservative. ---

Putting tariffs on an island with no people is the height of folly. Putting tariffs on scores of nations including NATO allies and not Russia a war mongering nation that spies on America and is engaged in a war with Ukraine in which civilians in Bucha were shot dead after being tied up shows a totally twisted policy. I have right wing beliefs that gay sex and most abortions should be a death penalty crime and I find Trump’s recent tariff decisions to be wrong policy and the fact the markets tumbled and JP Morgan bank says there is a 60% chance of recession shows that lots of others believe Trump’s tariff plan is wrong.
