Lancashire bred and born, but my parents followed the siren song of 'there's gold in them thar hills' and immigrated to California when I was still a babe in arms. I escaped to Washington State, where I have Arabian horses and grow dahlias.

I'm still mulling over *which* 'Americans' have fundamental free speech rights. And what does that have to do with Brazil and tariffs?
"The president said the U.S. would impose a 50 percent tariff on Brazil, effective Aug. 1, βdue in part to Brazilβs insidious attacks on Free Elections and the fundamental Free Speech Rights of Americans.β""
