I'm not seeing anything in that article that suggests that China is "begging" for a deal. Indeed the article says the U.S. made the first approach about easing trade tensions. All that China has said it that it is considering the U.S. offer. That doesn't some close to begging in any defintion of...

Habba will win points with Trump for adopting the administration's spin on events. The fact the firms made the choice to enter into the agreement doesn't mean they've done anything wrong or have anything to hide. Habba shows a poor grasp of logic in reaching that conclusion. She wasn't even...

That's not going to go anywhere. You'd need to convince French authorities that her messages to amount to whatever the equivalent of assualt is in France and that it's worthwhile for the French to pay for extradition to France. I don't see the French law enforcement being willing to pay those...

It possible for a U.S. resident to sue a French resident but it is not easy nor is it cheap to do so. If the case is heard in a French court you'll have a lot of travel costs on top of everything else and those costs are not recoverable in the lawsuit. In addition the French follow the English...

She may file the lawsuit, but she won't get the help of any good attorney. The claim might not survive even a motion to dismiss for failure to state a valid cause of action. The insult exchange you engaged in, assuming you've left nothing important out of your summary, is protected free speech...

That then presents a conundrum for those justices who claim to be textualists and rely only the language of the statute or constitution rather than pulling in other sources to justify what those words mean today. IMO the language is very clear and not at all ambiguous: "All persons born or...

As many dictators have demonstrated dehumanizing a group of people is the first step to mistreating and abusing them, and in some regimes, killing them. There are good people, bad people, smart people, dumb people, etc but they all have one thing in common: they are all people.

Because the Constitution protects everyone in the U.S. There is no provision in the Constitution that states the rights we have are conditioned on being citizens. Once we start excluding groups from the rights we have under the Constitution it'll make it easier to the next group, and then the...

It's hard for me to extend much sympathy to a member of MS-13. MS-13 is very violent criminal organization that unfortunately terrorized and torn down systems in El Salvador that the citizens there really need. El Salvador could be thriving more with these leeches sucking up so much of the money...

Trump's favoritism of his rich friends really shows through with this.

There is a difference between an unsafe working condition and a job duty that you are just physically unable to do. However, there are more things involved in determining whether the statutes OSHA enforces would apply to a situation in which an employee is called upon to do heavy lifting. The...

I can't see Trump or any congressional Republican thinking that tanking the economy would somehow be good for reelection chances. What would be the logic in that? IMO they are thinking the economic pain we are having now will be just temporary and by 2026 the economy will bounce back even...

I'm not surprised that Trump would take this approach and I don't have any objections to it. Testing it in federal court should give the administration, unions, and union members clarity on what federal agencies may do with respect to the role of unions in the federal government. When I worked...

Musk tends to steal the spotlight from Trump when they appear together. Trump wouldn't let anyone else upstage him if he could help it. Musk may be a briiliant business person but from watching his DOGE activity it's clear he doesn't understand government very well. I think Trump would do...

Thank God I never sent any samples to that company or any of the others that are in the same business. Curiousity killed the cat, as the expression goes, and I'm not that curious about what these results would reveal to give up unique medical information.

I agree, at least among those who are familiar with the look of Tesla cars. IMO Musk is more of a liaibility than an asset for Trump. A lot of the bad press that administration gets seems to originate from something Musk has said and done. He also upstages Trump whenever they appear together...

If your mother is still mentally competent then she can create a living trust for you or have the trust for you created out of her will (known as testamentary will). Your inheritance is not community property unless you do something that converts it to community property. You can also create a...

There is no connection between the two and therefore strikes me as a poltical statement rather than a logical one.

When you trave abroad, your U.S. passport is your best friend as it is easiest and fastest way for a citizen get through the immgration a customs lines at the airport. The federal governmant may not deny entry to a U.S. citizen. However if there is an outstanding arrest warrant for you are...

It doesn't quite work that way, though your general premise is on point. Government agencies borrow from SSA to finance some of their activities. They agencies borrowing the money do pay interest when the bill come due. In 1937 that was a sound idea considering the country was still in the great...
