While the US Constitution made the US a large free trade zone, prohibiting states from erecting trade barriers against each other, it also empowered the central government to erect tariffs on goods imported from outside the country.

Car found in Georgia pond could be linked to 44-year disappearance of wealthy Scarsdale, NY couple
November 25, 2024
The recent discovery of a submerged car in a Georgia pond could be linked to a wealthy Scarsdale, NY couple who went missing more than 40 years ago and sparked one of the largest searches in the state’s history. Charles and Catharine Romer, “snowbirds” who lived in the ritzy Westchester County enclave for most of the year, vanished in April 1980 during their trek back north after spending the winter in Florida – a yearly tradition since they married in the mid-1970s, according to past reports. The couple had dropped their items off at a hotel and went for a drive, but they never returned or were seen or heard from again. Charles and Catharine Romer vanished in April 1980 during their trek back north after spending the winter in Florida. Handout Glynn County police revealed that divers on Friday found a car that matches the 1979 Lincoln Continental used by the retired oil executive, 74, and his second wife, 76, in a pond between an interstate and the hotel the pair checked into shortly before disappearing on April 8, 1980. “At this time there is no conclusion about the identity of the remains that were found,” police said, according to the… Read the full article here […]
Corporate donations remain sticky point in political reform talks
November 25, 2024
As discussions over political reform intensify ahead of Thursday’s opening of the next session of parliament, the handling of corporate donations is poised to emerge as a major battleground between the parties. While they might be able to find middle ground over other items in the agenda, deep-seated bipartisan divisions over the handling of corporate donations suggest the road to a compromise on this topic before the end of the year remains difficult at best. The ruling Liberal Democratic Party — weakened after it lost its majority in the Lower House in the Oct. 27 general election — has displayed strong resistance toward long-standing opposition calls to abolish the endowments. The party has long maintained that an abolition of corporate donations would significantly curtail the political freedom of the private sector. Read the full article here […]
Business Failures Reaches COVID Levels, Food Services Worst Hit
November 25, 2024
Business failures have hit a post-pandemic peak, matching the rate measured in October 2020, with food and beverage the worst affected. Australian businesses are failing at a rate not seen since the height of the pandemic lockdowns in October 2020. All sectors are affected, but food and beverage services are worst hit, according to the October Business Risk Index (BRI) from CreditorWatch. Annualised insolvency rates have more than doubled over the last 18 months, exceeding pre-COVID levels by about 25 percent. Court actions are also now well above pre-COVID levels as large creditors such as banks and the ATO seek to recover debts. The number of cases went up by 13 percent from August 2023 to August 2024. The average failure rate across all sectors currently sits at 5.04 percent of total businesses, up from 3.97 percent in October last year. The previous high was 5.08 percent, recorded in October 2020 at the height of COVID-19. After the initial phase of the pandemic, the failure rate began to decrease steadily, before it began to rise again in October 2023. The food and beverage sector recorded the highest failure rate of all industries in the recent study, increasing to 8.5 percent… […]
Mark 11:25 (KJV) — Today’s Verse for Monday, November 25, 2024
November 25, 2024
And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. — Mark 11:25 (KJV) Now you can listen to Today’s Verse on iTunes, Spotify, Echo devices, and more! Thoughts on Today’s Verse… This passage is one of the most challenging reminders of God’s will in Scripture. I MUST forgive others! When I refuse to forgive, I build a dam, stopping the stream of forgiveness God longs to give me. Forgiving others is seldom easy. It is often quite difficult and painful. However, God has commanded us to do it and given us his Son as an example of how to forgive (Luke 23:34). Jesus has promised to empower us to do his will by the power of the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 3:14-21) as we transformed to become like him (2 Corinthians 3:18). The real issue: Will I let go of my bitterness toward… Read the full article here […]
HA HA! Liz Cheney’s Endorsement of Kamala HURT HER With Independents in Pennsylvania and Michigan – Twitchy
November 25, 2024
A couple of days ago, we told you about how Liz Cheney’s endorsement of Kamala Harris didn’t move the needle for Kamala in Waukesha, Wisconsin — a place where they even held an event in the days before the election. Waukesha is deep red, and Cheney herself said there were millions of secret Kamala voters on the Republican side of the aisle. She was wrong. Not a shocker, but it is funny. What’s even funnier is this: Cheney’s endorsement hurt Kamala with independent voters in Pennsylvania and Michigan, states she desperately needed to win (but as Trump took all the swing states, it wouldn’t have helped her, anyway). The Cheney endorsement made nearly 3-in-10 independent Pennsylvania voters less enthusiastic about Harris’ campaign – Data for Progress – pic.twitter.com/fXonQb7H1x — Polling USA (@USA_Polling) November 22, 2024 LMAO. Sorry, but we have to laugh at this. The impact on Michigan voters was more notable pic.twitter.com/8siEur6Fn9 — Polling USA (@USA_Polling) November 22, 2024 Ouch. Imagine that.

Trump’s Cabinet Picks Are So ‘Ideologically Diverse,’ It Makes CNN’s Scott Jennings Feel ‘Squeamish’
November 25, 2024
CNN Republican commentator Scott Jennings argued this weekend that President-elect Donald Trump is building an “ideologically diverse” Cabinet that reflects his 2024 election victory. During a panel on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday, Jennings noted how Trump picked Russ Vought to return as director of the Office of Management and Budget and Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer (R-OR) to be the next labor secretary, among many others. “I think Trump is not getting enough credit here for building an ideologically diverse Cabinet,” Jennings said. “When you’ve got everybody from Russ Vought, who’s very conservative, all the way over to the pick for labor secretary — is a supporter of the PRO Act, and somehow Randi Weingarten is happy about it. I mean, what he has done is — which makes me squeamish, to be candid.” .@ScottJenningsKY: “I think Trump is not getting enough credit here for building an ideologically diverse Cabinet… and that’s kind of how he won. His coalition was kind of ideologically diverse — that elected him.” pic.twitter.com/lgxe57gy8x — Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) November 24, 2024 Jennings was referring to the “Protecting the Right to… Read the full article here […]

November 25, 2024
Screenshot of TD Jakes via Breaking 911 X Account Bishop TD Jakes suffered a medical emergency while delivering a sermon on Sunday at The Potter’s House megachurch in Dallas. Jakes, during his sermon, shared, “Oh Lord, my strength, my redeemer, let them go in peace,” but shortly after he uttered the words, he started to freeze and then soon began to shake involuntarily. As Jakes started to shake, several people rushed to the stage to assist him, and he was later transported to receive immediate medical attention. In a statement, The Potter’s House stated, ” During today’s service, Bishop T.D. Jakes experienced a slight health incident and received immediate medical attention following his powerful hour-long message.” “Bishop Jakes is stable and under the care of medical professionals. The entire Potter’s House family is grateful for the outpouring of love, prayers, and support from the community,” added The Potter House. WATCH: Bishop T.D.

‘They Hate You’: Susan Collins Takes Up Powerful Role as Senate Digs in Against Trump Mandate
November 25, 2024
As President Trump continues to put his hugely popular cabinet forward, the Senate GOP is seemingly continuing to fall prey to the RINO remnant still holding sway in Congress. Senator Susan Collins (Maine) will reportedly be assuming a powerful role chairing the Senate Appropriations Committee. They hate you. https://t.co/RBh4n3mRhs — Catturd ™ (@catturd2) November 24, 2024 The popular X account Catturd generally hits the nail on the head, and he has done it again with his reaction to the news of Collins’ new Chairmanship position. As much as “we the people” recognize how disdainfully the elitists in DC look at us, we likely still underestimate their hate for us. Collins, I’ll remind you, not only voted against Amy Coney Barrett, yet easily voted FOR Kentaji Brown Jackson for the Supreme Court… and recently stood shoulder to shoulder with 4 other RINOS to thwart President Trump’s choice of Matt Gaetz as Attorney General… Breaking on @MSNBC: At least five Senate Republicans were a ‘no’ on Matt Gaetz — McConnell, Murkowski, Collins, Mullin, Sen.-elect Curtis — and had communicated to other senators they were unlikely to be swayed. — Kyle Griffin… […]
It’s Actually True – PJ Media
November 25, 2024
“Republicans want to kill your kids. It’s actually true.” At least, that’s what Washington Post columnist and MNSBC contributor Jennifer Rubin said on her podcast recently anyway. I was writing an article about it a few days ago, and all I could think about was how ridiculous and unhinged this woman sounded. But I’d also just finished covering the Laken Riley murder trial, and it reminded me that Democrats don’t just “want to kill your kids.” Many of their laws and policies actually are killing your children as we speak. While Rubin was carrying on about how Republicans oppose breakthrough medical research and want to give minors semi-automatic weapons, the fact is that the Biden-Harris administration allowed Laken Riley’s murderer into the country illegally and even provided him with a free taxpayer-funded flight to Georgia. And while Riley was a 22-year-old college student, she was still someone’s child. Just watch this police body cam video of her mother and stepfather finding out that she is dead: HARD TO WATCH: Bodycam footage played in court shows the moment police told Laken Riley’s family her body was found pic.twitter.com/ZbBqJdI1Kc — Breaking911 (@Breaking911) Read the full article here […]
Joe Rogan Slams Biden for ‘Potentially’ Trying to ‘Start World War III’
November 25, 2024
Joe Rogan criticized President Joe Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for trying to “start World War III” days after Biden gave the approval for Ukraine to use long-range missiles to fire into Russia. In an interview with Scott Storch, a record producer and songwriter on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Rogan admitted that he does not feel safe knowing that Ukraine is “launching missiles into Russia.” Rogan questioned how Biden was allowed to make “significant actions” such as approving Ukraine’s usage of long-range American missiles “to strike within the Russian mainland.” “I feel safer knowing that Trump is in office,” Storch said, to which Rogan agreed. “What I don’t feel safer, is right now they’re launching missiles into Russia,” Rogan said. “How are you allowed to do that when you’re on the way out? The people don’t want you to be there anymore. This should be some sort of a pause for significant actions that could potentially start World War III.” Rogan added that it might be a “good thing” that Americans want to “avoid from a dying former president.” “Zelensky says Putin is terrified,” Rogan… Read the full article here […]
