But are the tariffs on goods from China

also made in the US? I know steel is, but with the tariffs, the American steel companies raised their prices.

My approach is different but it still uses pre-meditated murder.

So a fetus is a human being and killing it is pre-meditated murder. The idea is to get them to agree that a fetus is a human being so you can not abort it under any circumstances. If a woman is pregnant and then develops cancer she cannot have chemo because it will kill the baby and she is going to die before the baby is old enough to be viable so they both die, is that correct? They will say that she can have the chemo since if she doesn't both will die. But that is still murder. You are not allowed to kill an innocent person.

We need to start carrying banners with the picture of his wife nude with that other woman.

Ours will read, Trump's wife, Melania, prefers women. They show theirs, we show ours. It will drive Trump crazy. Or just display the banner wherever Trump can see it. How about the 4th of July celebration?

No hats, but a couple of vets like trump at the Wilmington NC VA HCC.

It's easy to shut them up when they start talking just by asking them to explain tariffs. The worse part of going there or any clinic, 3 in Jacksonville NC, is having to see Trump's picture.

My father only drank scotch and my mother didn't drink.

I hated Scotch so I didn't drink, but my collie like a little scotch, just enough that his front legs crossed when he walked. My black lab in San Jose CA only drank wine. He would sneak out and drink with the men on the corner. Then I learned about Jim Beam, beer and hashish all at the same time while stationed in Turkey. I found the army a very pleasant experience.

I usually have about 6 in my house at this time of year.

I don't use any kind of insect spray or traps, but they kept on dying. I thought they were committing suicide.

The House could start the impeachment proceedings now

and keep them running until as close to the election as they wanted. No one can stop them.

I applied in 1995.

I was turned down in 1999. Before I could appeal, I received a letter from the VA stating that the VA had taken an adversarial stance when it was supposed to help the veteran and I received a 100% service-connected disability 6 months later, of course, retroactive to my first claim. I guess things have changed. It was my psychiatrist who told me to apply on my first visit. I had seen a psychiatrist once when in the army.

It is already a criminal act.

UCMJ Article 120. Of course, that doesn't mean anything unless enforced. We were taught that having sexual intercourse with someone other than your spouse and below your rank can send you to prison for up to 30 years.

It was the first night of Passover,

the Passover seder. Christians don't want it to have been, because everything that happened to Jesus from that night to the crucifixion, could not have happened as it is written in The New Testament. The priests would have been banned from any of it.
