Speaker Johnson says he’s going to request Ethics Committee not release Gaetz report
Johnson called on the ethics panel to withhold the report shortly after returning from visiting with President-elect Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago on Thursday

Stock Market Tanks as Trump Unveils Nightmare Cabinet Picks
Remember when everyone was excited the stock market spiked after Trump’s election win? Well, turns out it was very short-lived.
Trump has proposed a 20–60 plan, in which a potential second Trump administration would impose a 20 percent worldwide tariff alongside a 60 percent tariff on Chinese goods. But that plan would prove devastating for the economy, according to an analysis by the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, which found that it would lower household incomes by an average of $3,000 in 2025.

i know that's what i'm afraid of. As a small buisness owner things are gonna be very hard. With the orange man kissing rings of the saudia and pooty, i'm more afraid of Ukraine and what's gonna happen there......like i mentioned these next 4 yrs of couchlover and con man are gonna make the US a joke on the world.....i still remain optimistic but then again.....
I really feel for you w/Trumps insistence on his "magic bullet" tariffs,when you jack shit up like that shit goes downhill right to the consumer resulting in struggles for small business's like yours,we get so many products out of country and tariffs make no sense,maybe in the 15-20 post WW2 years when WE were a manufacturing powerhouse,but that was then this is now,everything imported into our country will go up,man his base has undergone fake news lobotomies regarding his economic "prowess".

His choice of Goetz for Justice dept. head shows his ball are hanging like grapefruits, and even if higher wages chase the impending price increases over Tariffs it will be the same overheating inflationary BS that they ragged about w/all the pandemic stimulus's to sweep the election. Not to mention the nauseating thought of a dementia exhibiting 82 yo within yards of the "football",fascinating times my friend. I'll reserve judgement on his Fox News Sec. of Def. choice as I never trash military service and this guy is a vet. but man I hope the guy isn't overwhelmed.

Yea it is definitely important to keep feeding your flying friends especially in winter because they are expecting it,and get used to it. I have them perch on my fingers and eat out of my hand.
If you can believe this I had a tropical bird (had to be an escaped pet) of the parrot family at my feeders for a couple of days in late Sept. in SE MA. hope he headed South cause it's already damn chilly in the morn. now.

Hmm, I don't see how judging a person equates to trashing military service.

Surprise, apparently the vet wasn't vetted. :roll:

I can't definately say,possibly but no where near 100% ,I didn't get the clearest look,there was some blue checkerboard feathering in flight however,it was stunning in that I KNOW it wasn't a standard woodland bird,,I've been at it over 30 yrs and know my birds,there was also some green coloring but I couldn't identify a parrot like beak,the coloring has me concluding tropical,it was a little skittish and never really posed to give me a killer look at it,whatever it was it stood out like a terd in a punchbowl.

Well the current Sec. of Def. is a retired 4 star,this guy rose to Major w/a couple bronze stars,but the Fox thing is a hint to his ideology and yeah military service is no end all look at Gen Flynn,he went off the rails. Most all Orange's choices are outside the box,Rubio is the least controversial,Gaetz is absolutely maddening,this guy I'll reserve judgement.You get what you vote for and a majority of our nation voted for retribution straight up and I sure as hell aren't looking at this through rose colored glasses,myself and my state MA voted blue though the margins surprised me even here. I'm not expecting much but I respect those who've served and I hope this guy is somewhat competent that's all,I'm not saying I like it,these 4 yrs. will be a rocky ride as the standards voters hold politicians to has dropped to shocking(IMO) levels.

I'm gonna miss the FDA......:sad:
Bacteria and mold found during inspection of Tom’s of Maine facility, FDA says
An inspection this year of a Tom’s of Maine’s facility in Sanford, Maine, turned up several violations, including bacteria in water used to make toothpaste, bacterial growth in another type of toothpaste and “a black mold-like substance” near manufacturing equipment, according to a warning letter from the US Food and Drug Administration to the CEO of the company’s parent firm.
