    Following up with a more-informed view re: this border-adjusted tax. The reality is that there'll be a reaction, followed by a reaction, and so on. Ultimately, American consumers will pay ...

    My friends went there in our early 20s. One of them spent his last $100 on a blow job and a hit of, I think, ecstasy. Hopped on the plane for home a few hours later. That's good budgeting.

    Lawmakers: Trump Mexico tax plan would hurt Texas


    “It’s going to hurt U.S. industrial performance rather than help it,” said Tom Fullerton, an economist at the University of Texas at El Paso. “It’s going to increase unemployment rather than reduce it.”

    Fullerton explained that most cross-border trade is between companies that often ship products back and forth multiple times, adding value each step of the way. Imposing a 20% hit on each northward step would cause severe economic dislocation, shuttering businesses on both sides of the border, he said."

    Texas will suffer significant economic damage if there's a trade war with Mexico. Texas Tribune asked all 38 representatives and senators from Texas if they supported a continuous border wall. Many hedged, but none said yes.

    Was Breitbart particularly known for keeping its mouth shut and patiently listening to the White House?

    Ah, but if you're an adult, you have almost no time to listen to all that music (...unless you have a lengthy commute.)

    Spotify is wasted on the old.

    It's simple: If GOP lawmakers have any guts at all, they'll kill the wall - by any means possible - as a violation of their political principles on free trade and economics.

    Do they have the guts? Any at all? Do many of the Tea Party lawmakers even know why they're in Congress? We'll see.

    In correcting the info about the development of the heart, the entire premise of the article is ruined. But instead of retracting it, they've made a correction that renders the article nonsensical.

    Maybe this is why you don't have the medieval literature expert write an article about science.
