To prevent false information.

Ervin Guinn

False statements and lies should not be presented as facts from either side of the political spectrum. If it takes government intervention to stop this misinformation, then that's the way it should be.

Can not allow our freedom of speech to be tampered with at all !!!!! All they are doing is damage control protecting themselves

Will Mason

Nothing people are talking about is the government's business. They need to sit and shut up. Maybe they could try listening instead.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson comments that First Amendment “hamstrings" government. What a terrible thing for a Justice to say. She would happily remove our First Amendment of the Bill of Rights.

Vernon Taylor

And we all know why she's there.

Tariffs can help protect American businesses by encouraging local production and preserving jobs. However, they also raise the cost of imported goods, which forces stores to pass on these expenses to consumers. We might face higher bills, fewer jobs, and slower economic growth.

What do we really need from Mexico? Definitely less illegal immigrants, and that is being worked on. Their shoddy autos? Make them at plants in the US. And Canada, and their petroleum? That's why its drill, baby drill...which should have been U.S. policy for past 50 years.

We had the Biden tariff for 4 years. Can't get worse than his incompetence.

No effect of the United States

If anything occurs, the effect will be temporary until the markets adjust. Funny KMIZ didn't have similar pols under Biden's double-digit inflation. Where was the media's outrage then? I know, orange man bad.

Mike Pyrtle

We are only in this mess because of former presidents from BOTH parties. Sometimes healing is painful.

On January 20th we will resume the use of "alternative facts' when making important decisions or when speaking to each other. In the past this has proven to be beneficial and will be necessary to Make America Great Again.
