| andy... | just who gave him the authority to seize the vessel |
| atli... | Trump intends to murder more Venezuelans, steal more property, deny their sovereignty in order to put a new dictator in charge who is more favorable to US oil companies and find a way to personally benefit financially in the process. Should make us proud to be Americans. |
| kvas... | Donnie takes everything personally and then back-fills facts (made up or otherwise) to justify taking his hurt feelings out on whoever his current scapegoat is. Come on now Donnie, we'll stop laughing at your comb-over and your strange orange glow if you'll stop being so defensive. Same goes to all you small-penised, comb-over boys wearing your Maggot hats. Honest, we're not laughing at you but with you. OK, that was a lie. We are laughing at you. But it's OK to be bald. Nothing wrong with that. So maybe you can lighten up a bit? |
| pikr... | I believe this stunt is both a distraction as well as Trump seeking an old score with a leader he dislikes. Unfortunately, like many situation we have started, what will be left once Maduro is removed? Chances are things there will worsen for the citizens of Venezuela. |
| lora... | We need to get rid of this drug dealer on our border. Trump is right to start going after these drug cartels. The Democrats campaigned on this several times and did nothing. the Democrats are complaining now since they are getting money from these cartels. |
| rita... | It’s a reflection of Trump’s intentions bases on his self interest. |
| hjgr... | How does he have the right to execute foreign leaders? |
| elis... | The Trump newly named Dept. of War needs all the hype under the whacked out commander Hegseth, but they dropped any semblance of transparency so it’s up to investigative journalists to find out the truth. Not that it matters to MAGAs. |
| susa... | Trump needs war to get Americans focus off of the illegal things he’s doing. |
| tubi... | yes because republicans need a war to stay in power. if it still looks like theyll lose the house and/or senate they will delay seating new senators and representatives. |
| rich... | Trump is a bully. Why is he doing this other than he probably enrich his family with a change |
| perm... | Not only in stopping the transportation of deadly and illegal drugs, but also the enforcement of oil sanctions against countries such as Iran. |
| scot... | Allende 2.0 |
| mdul... | I've said yes since Trump speaks for the US but let's not lose sight of the fact that only 21% of Americans favor using our military and intelligence assets to effect regime change in Venezuela. That means that even his cultish base isn't on board and that is likely because none of this does anything to further the "America First" pledges that he used to get elected. While Trump seeks conflict with every nation in the world except Russia, including every ally the US has ever had, and deploys the military to our cities to quell free speech, he has lost sight of the fact he was supposed to focus on us. |
| bjef... | No, It's a reflection of Trump's intentions. |
| carl... | This is an abuse of executive power. |
| pchs... | The US is acting correctly in attacking drug cartels. We should think about the same in Mexico, Columbia, etc |
| mbec... | We seem to put too much capital behind taking dictators out and where does it get us…. 20 year wars, trillions lost. They’ll probably out live Trumps term and then we seem to just repeat our mistakes…. A never ending cycle. |
| jmla... | The Moron in Chief wants to start a war with a small country that shares the continent with America so he kill people who are not White and then end it and claim the Nobel Peace Prize. And Pistol Pete will do whatever he is told to do, War Crimes be famed. MAGA, this is what you voted for! |
| cger... | Progressive Leftist LOVE their crime and criminals. |
| coll... | Trump and Rubio are the only ones that truly understand the importance of eradicating communism and oppression in our back yard before it continues to spread. Grateful for their focus. |
| tmcr... | I don't think it is US... Just put wacko pres..... |
| nanc... | This is all about oil not drugs |
| fcse... | What’s in Trump’s head comes out of his mouth without filtering. He and his henchmen Hegseth and Rubio do not have a strategic plan for removing Maduro. They are improvising. |
| hmar... | He's crazy enough to do anything. |
| grif... | This is really about the oil. US oil companies would like to take over the largest oil reserve in the world. Venezuela is not the source of fentanyl in their country. That would be Mexico and China. If our president was truly against drugs, why did he release and pardon the former president Honduras. I am sure there are some money involved with that. |
| usct... | Trump wants a regime change in Venezuela. And he may want to control their oil. It is similar to a time when America used its military to control Central and South America. Much like the “Speak softly and carry a big stick” of Roosevelt. Except Trump speaks very loud. |
| louh... | trump is such a liar and will say anything to show off. |
| ljob... | He says a lot of things.🤷🏻♀️ |
| tom.... | We finally have a President, in President Trump, that actually cares about America, and American citizens. God bless American, and God Bless Trump. I hope Trump sends Maduro and his drug cartels to the bottom of the ocean. |
| ekou... | Do you really want us as an audience to tell you what we think? I pray for Venezuela that’s what I think. I’m actually routing for Maduro. |
| ceal... | Socialism never works! |
| kjla... | He’s just going after their natural resources |
President Trump called the rate cut “small.” Faster rate cuts would likely:
- 76% Risk increasing inflation and instability
- 21% Stimulate economic growth more effectively
- 3% Other (Please explain)
| Comments | |

| spr.... | Like putting out a fire with a bucket of gas… |
| lora... | The only way we can get out of the economic mess caused by Biden/Harris policies is by growth. Lower interest rates will speed up this process. Economics 101. The Democrats only complain because they do not want Trump to be successful. The Democrats can only complain but have no plan to control inflation or improve the economy. |
| atli... | Trump's history of inept business transactions should worry us all. |
| crai... | The Fed doesn't control the tail end of the yield curve. That's going to continue to be high until the US lowers it's fiscal deficit, stops threatening the world, and stops badgering the Fed. |
| timh... | It would do both |
| kelt... | no duh. lower rates has proven to stimulate the economy and help control; inflation |
| rita... | Faster rate cuts might have a temporary bump to the more troubled real estate areas but that’s not a great reason for doing so. Trump will probably put in one (or more p) of his minions, so our economic policy will be in tatters anyway :(( |
| dbur... | I don't fully understand why they're not cutting more now instead of waiting, and I don't understand why it vacillates at all. |
| kvas... | Leave the Fed alone and let them do their job without political interference. Donnie and his insecure group of Maggot heads know whereof they speak when they use the word "small," as in small minds, small penises, small imaginations. Of course, they don't understand the word "large," as in large egos. |
| msar... | The question is will business’ be better served with lower rates or higher ones. High rates have never proven to provide growth |
| paul... | Behavior and past results are the best indicator. DJT Is not an economist or financial mastermind. Probably wants lower rates for his personal business loans. |
| spro... | Once again lefty’s, please learn some economics. Your TDA is so bad you are rooting against America and smart decisions that will put $ in our pockets. Seriously! |
| bfph... | Worst of all, additional rate cuts would spur economic growth and make Trump look good. Democrats can’t support that!! |
| bjef... | The fed should have done nothing: nothing will be done until unbiased indicators of the economy are once again available. They are right to be cautious because they are guessing. It is almost certain that nothing put out by Trump will be accurate. |
| katl... | Trump needs to back off! |
| cger... | Our current inflation has NOTHING to do with consumer over spending . It has to do with the Biden Administration, (THE MOST SPENDING PRESIDENT IN HISTORY) over spending. |
How likely is it that China’s increased investment in Mexico is primarily aimed at bypassing U.S. tariffs?
- 92% Very likely
- 5% Unlikely
- 2% Other
| Comments | |
|---|---|
| atli... | Unlike the US, China has little interest in hegemony but a lot of interest in sane economics. |
| bjef... | Since we have tariffs on products made in Mexico, I'm unsure. However, there is no question that China is moving in to take over markets we are leaving. |
| ecek... | Probably more a reflection of China’s long-term strategy of gaining influence through investment. |
| lora... | Does it matter. Trump will see thru this immediately. Tariffs are good for the US but we are too stupid to know this since Democrats complain about Trump. Lets give tariffs a shot and see if it will work. |
| spr.... | Hello….it’s being done now |
| kvas... | Jesus, like I know what's in China's mind. I do know that at the same time the Maggot heads choose to parrot their Messiah Donnie and whine about the so-called inflation under Biden, Messiah Donnie is setting up the largest tariff-driven inflation ever seen, but the Maggot heads will eat that up like the finest rib eye steak. Morons. |
| bill... | Unknown |
| cger... | China, like the Progressive Leftist Democrats are despicable and will do anything to undermine the United States with the intention of destroying her. |
In the context of Taiwan’s security, should the US be prepared to intervene militarily if China attacks?
- 62% Yes
- 20% Depends
- 18% No
| Comments | |
|---|---|
| atli... | How can China attack itself? |
| elis... | Very volatile situation because people are ignorant of the facts. Taiwan's current diplomatic allies include Belize, Guatemala, Haiti, Paraguay, Eswatini, Tuvalu, Palau, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Saint Lucia, Saint Kitts and Nevis, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. They might accept Taiwan is separate from China but will not be able to protect Taiwan from the ongoing mission of Chinese reunification (since 1979). The USA does not recognize Taiwan’s independence but only supports its own interests in the South China Sea when it or other Asian allies feel threatened. |
| cger... | That has already been stated. |
| fesk... | We are not the police of the world! |
| lora... | Taiwan belongs to China due to a treaty signed in 1949 after WW2. We should just negotiate a trade deal with China on the chips manufactured in Taiwan. Pelosi and Schumer only want to protect Taiwan due their investments. Read you history folks and quit listening to fake news. |
| mlam... | we are not a dependable ally under chump |
| spr.... | On where we are with our reliance on Taiwan’s chip manufacturing. If it’s less dependable we’re less likely to interfere. Time is the “depends” factor |
| kvas... | If we do, it will make Vietnam look like a small skirmish. |
| bjef... | I don't know if we have a treaty in that regard: however, Trump has shown his hand in Ukraine. What we should or should no do is in the hands of a bully who doesn't like it when somebody fights back. Any bets? |
Given dark chocolate’s sugar and fat content, would you consider consuming more of it if it was proven to slow aging?
- 77% Yes
- 14% No
- 9% Maybe

| kvas... | Sure, if my doctor advises me to do so. |
| ambe... | Dark chocolate is a good treat now and then. |
| huss... | I already have. |
| jste... | it is my understanding that the main health risk from consuming dark chocolate is lead contamination |
| cger... | Dark chocolate is my favorite.. |
| kart... | At the rate I consume dark chocolate, I must be about 12 now! 😂 |
| ljob... | Some chocolate makers are putting less sugar in their dark chocolate. They also put nuts and nut paste in them. It’s still yummy and not so sickly sweet. |
| crai... | Don't ask me twice. |
| lora... | You have to take all of this with a grain of salt. Studies by these non profits are not trustworthy. They just report stuff to get more money so they do not need to work. |
| mart... | I consume plenty as it is! Glad to hear it is not just delicious but good for me. |
| buss... | Increase chocolare intake small amount Cut fat and sugar in other food intake |
| nanc... | Already do. Milk chocolate seems so sweet anymore. |
| bjef... | Living a few more years on the high side of Alzheimers disease would be bad for me and moreso for my family. So, much would depend on quality of the life I'd be living. |
| sehl... | Yes, it’s my “go to” food when I crave sweets and a little bit will take care of that need. I love the taste of high quality dark chocolate with almonds or sea salt, |
