Tariff talk that Trumpers might understand… in 2018 Trump raised tariff in goods from China. In 2019 Dollar Tree began selling items at $1.25 (because costs had gone up). In TN lots of rural Trump voters shop at Dollar Tree and complain about the .25 increase. Direct tariff example !

I can't wait for her new book. And now I need to look up Knitting and espionage

American POVs in WW2 Camps also used quilting American Flags to communicate messages. I suspect sweaters may also have been used e.g. by the French Resistance.

Heather is so smart! I love all of her writing and wish she'd been one of my professors when I was in school.

[@Ann-ey1tw]

Me too!

Thank you! My mom & sister, though Republican were more liberal than most Libs I've met... they just joined the same political Party as their parents. Even my Mom's Dad was really a VERY liberal Iowa farmer, gladly hiring women as field hands, open friends with black men, secretly helping neighbors, paying a fair price for tools when farmers lost their farms, and secretly giving clothes and food to the poor families in the nearest town as well as shipping needs to his cousins in Denver.

I follow Heather Cox Richardson and I'm Canadian! I am worried that even if Harris wins the popular vote, the Electoral college will enable Trump to get in again.

Thank you so much for the recipe for a really good crunch bar ! 😋

Great interview! Thank you.

Just read "Moral Politics" by George Lakoff (retired Berkeley linguistic prof.). Clearly sets off the different mind sets of left and right AND 'bi-conceptuals' - where most of us live, as Heather says, in the middle class.

Agree. Tariffs and crypto via Heritage and the Peter Theil's gang are meant to control and dominate..

Read “Letters from an American” as a comforting bedtime CBD Gummy 📚🕊️💪🏿💪🏽💪🏻

Young men are finding out that they don't automatically get the Entitlement. Just listen. -- They are confused. Mom-- raise them right!

[@71suns]

Thank God.

I can’t believe she asked Heather whether she was eating Rice Crispiest as cereal or treats.

I thought first-time homebuyer loans were common in the U.S. Surely it’s not unique to California?

[@melanietoth7015]

I’ve noticed Trump likes policies where he can justify behaving like a bully. Tariffs are one of these. Bully is his only strong suit.

I remember Francis Schaeffer taking on the pro-life movement in 1976 but his point was only the protection of pre-born children. His whole point was noted as a "slippery slope" argument. There was no or little mention of the same procedure to save the life of the mother.

Along with making ammunition more expensive, emphasize guns as a sport - not for killing people or even hunting. Make 'multi-shot' guns a crutch - something for lousy shots.

[@bikebudha01]

making ammo more expensive will only drive the gun nuts to be MORE proactive with gun rights... 1) Clarify the 2nd amendment does NOT protect individual gun ownership. (It doesn't, read it...) 2) Add a constitutional amendment that gives the right to private gun ownership. And spells out a limited amount of guns/types of guns you can own. (6 shot revolver pistol, 2-shot shotgun, single shot bolt-action rifle. The 3 types of guns any private citizen can possible need). 3) Make all other guns illegal. 4) Have the government offer a buy-back program for all these guns. The government will pay you full retail, no matter the condition of the gun. 5) No one will be forced to hand in whatever guns they currently own. They can turn them in for the buy-back, or when they die, the government gets them. 6) Make the sale and manufacturing of military style weapons illegal. The government will buy out all current stock from gun stores/manufacturers. This way no "new" guns hit the streets/markets. 6) Make owning a gun like owning a car. You have to have a license, registration, and carry insurance. BUT the license should only cost $25, and should last 10 years. (Keep ownership affordable for everyone). There should be a federal database, that all levels of law enforcement can access. And insurance should be kept to less than $100/year for those with no past history of abusing a gun. (Cheap for the average law abiding citizen, but pricey for criminals/past criminals).
