Time will tell if "We The People" win out or are screwed over by the Elite for more $$$$.

Side Note: We have a lot of Wally World stores down in the South, undergoing massive remodeling. Strangely, most of the remodeling announcement signage is in Spanish 1st & English 2nd.

Also noted.
Wally World seems to be jacking up its Food Prices more every month.
While reducing many NON-Food items 30 to 50% off.

Is Wally World having problems selling in this tight economy?

#5 That would be the Noble Prize people who gave Barack a medal for being black or half black rather than accomplish anything.

#7 I don't agree with Trump about tarrifs. But I agree with him about Paul Krugman.
