We're not getting a rate cut this year unless the economy falls off a cliff. With the current state of inflation, especially if Q1 GDP comes in as expected (2.9), we're far more likely to get another hike this year than we are ...

We made it just over 50 years with Title IX, now they've rendered it useless by allowing people to claim whatever gender identity they prefer at that moment.
I look forward to the similar destruction of the Civil Rights Act, Voting Act and Americans with Disabilities Act. Because if you can iden...
