Can Trump and the GOP Avoid the Midterm Curse?

"Incumbent presidents are notoriously vulnerable to losing control of whatever House and Senate majorities they might come to power with. It’s one of those near-iron laws of American politics from which few chief executives have managed to escape. Remember Barack Obama in 2010? He wowed the entire electorate in 2008, handily defeating maverick Republican John
The 60 degree or greater Apparent FOV really increases the enjoyment of binocular viewing IMO. Whether nature viewing, birds, wildlife, astronomy. As long as the eye relief is decent enough.
50 degree Apparent FOVs (which are quite common)are serviceable but more utilitarian. It's easier to make these 50 degree AFOV eyepieces sharp with flatter fields. This smaller Apparent FOV can be advantageous when scanning for movement on a battlefield situation, keeping the entirety of the view in your primary cone of focus allows you to detect movement and outlines over a greater span of the field.

How Black Workers Drove Interracial Labor Solidarity
counterpunch.org/2025/08/07/37…
"The elusive promise of interracial solidarity is an age-old question, one made all the more urgent in the current political climate. Can Black and white workers stick together against their bosses? Might their solidarity scale up to a multiracial working class movement, powerful enough to defy the capitalist system? In the sociology of labor and More

Hello there,
I have a question. If I'm doing windows linux dual boot, is there any possibiliy that windows can spy my data on linux? Or: if i got ransomwared on windows, is my linux part of my pc safe or not?
How can I prevent all above?
Thx
Is it likely? No. Is it possible? Yes.
If you want to make absolutely sure that Windows can't spy on anything, you'll need to physically remove the storage device containing Linux when booting.
A more practical but slightly less secure approach is to enable full disk encryption on Linux. Then, if Windows does decide to get sneaky it'll only see random data.
This doesn't prevent hostile code such as ransomware from destroying the data though. For that, you need to have good backup hygene.
A good backup system is to have automatic daily backups to some online cloud storage provider, and weekly or monthly backups to a physical device you keep disconnected and safe.

Probably does, but it is a path to replace income tax back to how it was before the 16th amendment was passed in 1909 establishing income tax.
You can avoid taxation by not spending money on imported things.
Now VAT on the other hand is a concept that a lot of Americans don't understand.

Really weak libtard argument.
That's true of all taxes, but it is the least true of tariffs of any from of taxation.
Tariffs a corporate tax exclusively on foreign corporation.
There has been zero price increase. Amazon's CEO was the most recent high-level person I've seen say there is zero price increase.
No. No it's not.
You're thinking about it all wrong.
A tax is just an expense. Domestic taxes increase the prices of all goods. Tariffs only increase the prices of imported goods. I buy very little imported goods, so I will pay far less taxes than I do under the current model.

These Nikon 18x70 Astroluxe binocluars and the Fujinon 16x70 are the cream of the large binocular crop. Not counting the astronomically priced Zeiss, Swarovski and Leica produced stuff.
There are some good lower cost options like the Oberwerk 15x70 Deluxe. (There is a pair of these on eBay for a cool $230 right now.) I own a pair of these and they are fantastic large objective lens binoculars. @Elliptica may be interested in these eBay specials.
You really need a solid tripod and mount to get the most out of these though. They come with a nice protective carrying case. #Binoculars

These are not beginner's astromy binoculars.
I recommend a 10x50 with a Wide 60-70 degree Apparent Field of View...which you can ascertain by them having a 6.0-7.0 degree True FOV.
10x50 binoculars will much easier to hand hold, at the lower power and also much lighter weight.
But you can start with any binoculars that you may have, like common birding glass with 40-42mm objective lenses.
