US Department of Commerce refers to foreign-made brass instruments as national security threats, threatens tariffs.

A proposal by the Commerce Department, targeting various imported manufactured metal items, includes brass instruments, and considers a 25% tariff on all imported brass musical instruments.

Given the ownership of Conn-Selmer by a venture capital firm whose owner, John Paulson, is close to Trump, is this related to him lobbying Trump for protection from foreign manufacturers, or are musical instruments just getting caught up in a broader trade dispute?

"Coleman Hawkins, right?" (S4E1 Welcome to Korea Part 1)

After they pick up BJ and sneak Radar into the O-club with BJ's insignia, the colonel confronts them and Hawkeye riffs an excuse with "corporal captain" experimental rank. BJ responds (like he did with "Rudyard Kipling" and "Auto Club" earlier), "Coleman Hawkins, right?" I assumed that was a reference to Hawkeye's improvising a story, much like a jazz musician (Coleman Hawkins was a jazz saxophonist). Any thoughts?

Here are two plays where CC wasn't credited with an assist. Why? They look like assists to me. I was surprised when I saw this during the game. Video from Correlation on the other social media site.

What makes an adult to decorate FJB on their Pavement Princess.

Joe Biden was one of the presidents of all time, but to hate him enough to put it on your car? Genuinely curious what did he do to make people hate him so much, be specific, not just fox news talking point.
