I love to redo furniture. I've done a few pieces so far.

But i saw this one down in the basement (its horrifying down there....never mind how nasty that area is. It's on my agenda lol) and I drug it up stairs

Im going to make this a deep eggplant/aubergine color with vintage brass knobs. I have a few repairs to do...fix a few dents, glue the inner part of the draws back together...but this is going to look cool.

Im going to paint the trim with the same color but im going to add a few drops of black so it's just barely two tones.

I have it sanded and washed. It took me a few hours, dawn dish soap and mineral spirits to get the layers upon layers of dirt off this thing. Manfriend said its been down there for 30 years!

So this is my current project. I have my Squish helping me. She LOVES doing everything with me that I do lol.

 Current situation



 I just gotta wait for Amazon to deliver my wood filler.  I think im going to darken the aubergine color im using with extra black and paint the insides of the drawers. I have lavender infused drawer liner ♡

 I drug this motherfucker up from the basement by myself ...man worked all last night so he is out cold. It was easy until I got to the top lol

the Bible doesn't say anything about "other planets".... theres earth, water above, water below, the firmament, two great lights inside the firmament and stars.... "no planets".... we are a plane....

'Tariffs suck': Some Republicans privately celebrate as Supreme Court blocks Trump policy

Some Republicans quietly celebrate the Supreme Court's decision blocking most of President Trump's tariffs, calling it a win for Congress' authority.

There could be life on other planets.....the bible doesn't say there isn't..

If there is, is it intelligent life?

i've been anticipating the "totally real and not at all fake" alien invasion since i read up on wernher von braun.... and i've already given my tribe the "aliens are demons and they can't hurt us unless we allow em to" speech.... i plan to spend it in a nice quiet room sleeping and watching Gunsmoke and old sitcoms.... but i gotta say that i'm shocked that trump would be a party to this nonsense.... i've followed that man through alot of suspicious decisions and questionable scenarios.... still my faith in him remained unwaivering.... i'm still willing to give him the benefit of the doubt regarding this as well.... but again, i'm surprised he would have a hand in it....

Mexico has surpassed Canada as the top destination for US exports.

Quote from: Renegade Quark on Today at 01:29:02 AMThe whole notion that taxing the rich would solve our problems is a joke. You could take ALL of the money from multimillionaire and billionaires and it would only run our government for about eleven months. Then what? The rich are now poor and the government needs money. So, where do you suppose they will turn next?

Precisely. There simply isn't enough super rich for them to be paying all the IOU's that socialist politicians write.

It's worth noting that Scandinavian countries which are often used as examples of "fairness" by North America's disingenuous socialist politicians tax the working poor more than Canada or the US. They don't have say a fifteen thousand dollar basic exemption where taxes start like our countries do.

President Donald Trump said on Feb. 20 that he will issue an executive order to create a 10 percent "global tariff," announced shortly after the Supreme Court invalidated his reciprocal duties on U.S. trading partners.

The new tariff would be added to existing import levies, which remain in place under the court's decision.

"The good news is that there are methods, practices, statutes, and authorities, as recognized by the entire court in this terrible decision, and also recognized by Congress, which they refer to, that are even stronger than the IEEPA tariffs available to me as president of the United States," Trump told reporters at a press briefing.

Section 122 allows the president to implement a tariff rate of up to 15 percent on countries that maintain "large and serious" trade surpluses with the United States. The measure also authorizes the president to introduce limits on the volume of foreign goods entering the country.

The tariff can be applied for 150 days. An extension will require the White House to seek congressional approval, which could be difficult, especially as the midterm elections near.

One of the key advantages of Section 122 is that it does not mandate the administration conduct a formal investigation to justify the tariffs.

The Trade Act of 1974 was first introduced in 1973 by Rep. Al Ullman (D‑Ore.) and was enacted in 1975 when President Gerald Ford signed it into law.

While it has been on the books for more than 50 years, it has never been invoked by a president.

Market watchers had widely anticipated that the White House would use Section 122.

"Section 122 offers the fastest path forward," ING economists said in a Feb. 20 research note.

"Section 122 has never been invoked, but its balance-of-payments trigger clearly applies to major partners like China and Mexico. Think of it as a temporary patch while more durable options take shape."
