I bought a 2012 F-150 4x4 XLT for about $45K brand new (in 2012).  Was at the time the most expensive vehicle I've ever bought.  I liked that truck a lot, but it did have more issues than any other truck I owned.  Had the 3.5TT, that thing was a beast.

Worth saying again:

From NY Post: Alarmed by CBS disaster, Bill Belichick insiders say girlfriend Jordon Hudson is a runaway train

"Even before this past weekend’s embarrassing CBS interview — in which Jordon Hudson made it clear who wears the pants in her romance with Bill Belichick — the legendary football coach’s friends were “shaking their heads,” one insider told The Post...“She saw an opening and she took it,” the insider added of how Hudson, 24, has inserted herself into every aspect of her 73-year-old boyfriend’s life and career."

"She has been heavily criticized and mocked after interfering in the former Patriots coach’s interview with “CBS Sunday Morning” about his new book, “The Art of Winning” — shutting down the conversation when correspondent Tony Dokoupil asked how the couple met... “We’re not talking about this,” Hudson said, interrupting the on-camera Q&A...It was a surprise that CBS chose to keep such an awkward behind-the-scenes moment in the final interview, but, as Dokoupil said in a voiceover: “Jordon was a constant presence during our interview."



"Hudson has also made her presence known at the University of North Carolina, where she recently attended spring practice as Belichick prepares for his first season coaching college ball. In March, it was revealed that Belichick wanted Hudson CC’ed on all emails between him and Robbi Pickeral Evans, the school’s Senior Associate Athletic Director for External Affairs and Strategic Communications."

So did UNC hire Bill Belichick, or Bill Belichick AND his 24 year-old girlfriend? Calling it now (AGAIN) - UNC Football will be a DISASTER this coming season.

I saw a snippet from that interview and I couldn't believe it.  And if we're being honest, I couldn't even imagine myself with someone that young, and the dude is 73 years old.  It's just beyond insane to me.  
At some point you have to either accept that BB is a helluva coach and or motivator and he knows what he's doing, or he's went nuts and all his success was from Tom Brady.

One very large US-based computer company that I know of will cease all manufacturing in China by the end of the year.  The other one, its chief competitor, will have no choice but to follow suit, or face the consequences of being priced 20% higher in the market on all equivalent goods.  The third major competitor is a Chinese national company and consequently will be at a supreme disadvantage regardless, but some of their manufacturing is also being moved outside of their home country.

GDP Q1 2025:

Not good news for the US economy.


  • Gross domestic product fell at a 0.3% annualized pace, largely pushed by a surge in imports ahead of President Donald Trump’s tariffs.
  • Imports soared 41.3%, driven by a 50.9% increase in goods. Imports subtract from GDP, so the contraction in growth may not be viewed as negatively given the potential for the trend to reverse.
  • The report provided cross signals for the Fed. While the negative growth number might push the central bank to consider lowering interest rates, inflation readings could give policymakers pause.
