DJT got mad that an advert used part of an actual address Regan gave advising against tariffs & their costs. So now, because it didn't come down as soon as he wanted, he's going to slap another 10% on to further impact his own economy. I say FUK um, keep the ads rolling & 'elbows up'.

'Angel #9' by Pure Prairie League is this week's Friday Fave. The guitar work may or may not have been none other than Mick Ronson of 'The Spiders from Mars' fame. No matter it's killer. Enjoy & remember; play it loud! raeroer.substack.com/p/friday-fav...
