Asked by Jude Beatty in Tax Refunds, United States of America
When will I receive my stimulus check?

On March 30, the Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) announced that the payments will start going out in the next three weeks. If the IRS has your direct deposit information on file (as it does for roughly half the stimulus recipients), that time frame is likely accurate. Paper checks, however, will take longer. The IRS has a lot more information about how to make sure you get your payment in a timely manner here.
Some precedents for reference: Under a new tax cut in 2001, the IRS took six weeks to start sending out rebate checks, and after a 2008 stimulus package was signed into law, checks weren’t sent out for three months.

American households owning 260 million guns).

Americans (#1 in the world for guns per capita)

handguns. The number of firearms rises over 4 million
annually."
Asked in History of the United States, United States of America, North America
When was the United States of America founded?

The United States of America was never truly "founded" as much
as it was declared independent from the Kingdom of Great Britain on
July 4, 1776.
This date marks the signing of the Declaration of Independence
written by Thomas Jefferson. This colonies were governed under the
Articles of Confederation until the adoption of the US
Constitution, completed on September 17, 1787.
__________________________________________________________________
The 13 British colonies broke away from Great Britain on 4 July
1776 and became 13 free and independent states or 13 little
nations. From 4 July 1776 to 3 March 1789, there was no autonomous
sovereign called the United States of America. There was a
confederation (alliance like NATO is today) of states under the
Articles of Confederation but it did not establish the United
States as a nation-state entity (autonomous sovereign). The United
States of America as an autonomous sovereign started on 4 March
1789. So the real birthday or start date of the United States is 4
March 1789. 4 July 1776 is Independence Day, which is correct and
that is what you see on calendars. But our country苹果彩票 was being
explored well before 1630, like I said we were officially declared
free from Great Britain on July 4, 1776.

Asked in United States of America, Mexico
What are some similarities and differences between the US and Mexico?

First, the common features. Mexico and the United States are
North American nations, bordering each other. Both are also
commercial and business partners as part of the North American Free
Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and have a rather long and complex history,
including conflicts such as the Mexican-American War (1846-1848),
as well as diplomatic and military cooperation, like the economic
and material support that Mexico provided for the Allies during
World War II (1939-1945). The population of the Southwestern United
States has more affinity with Mexico, since several states like
California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas used to belong to Mexico,
and the population of these states has a great percentage of
Mexican-Americans.
Now, on the differences. Mexico is a Latin American nation with a
large Spanish-speaking, Roman Catholic population (Roman Catholic:
88%, Protestant: 5.2%) while the U.S. is an Anglo American country苹果彩票
with a majority of English-speaking population and a dominance of
Protestantism (Protestant: 52%, Roman Catholic 24%). The racial
make up of Mexico is predominantly of mestizo (60%) and Amerindian
people (30%) while Americans are predominantly European (52%) and
on a lesser degree, African (13%), Asian (5%), and Hispanic people
of many ethnicities (15%) of which the majority, have Mexican
ancestry. Both the U.S. and Mexico are federal presidential
representative republics; Mexico has 31 independent states and one
federal district while the U.S. has 50 states and one such federal
district. Finally, the United States has the second largest economy
in the world behind China苹果彩票, while Mexico is an emerging market
ranking at the 11th position.
Finally, some statistics (2016 est.):
Population:
Mexico: 123,166,749
United States: 323,995,528
Land area:

Asked in United States of America, Judaism, Discrimination
Why do Jews hate America?

Falsity of the Question
The assumption made in the question is false. For the majority of
the history of the United States, most Jews thought (and continue
to think) fondly of the United States as it was one of the few
nations in the history of the World to treat Jews (from a political
perspective) as equals.
Equality of Jews in United States History
Jews in the United States were never subject to humiliating taxes,
occupational prohibitions, religious restrictions, ghettoization,
incursions on freedom of speech or assembly, nor were they ever
evicted from any part of the United States at any time. Therefore,
most Jews respect and think highly of the United States.
Notable Acts Promoting Jewish Citizenship and Equality in the
USA
A notable story about how old American respect is for the Jews is
that Governor Stuyvesant of New Amsterdam (the Dutch Colony that
became New York) permitted the Jews of New Amsterdam to keep and
bear arms, a permission allowed to Jews in no other part of the
world and entrusted the Jews of the city with a rotation on the
wall protecting the city from Native American Tribes. This
acceptance of Jews as equals has been a long part of American
history and something that Jews have immense respect for.
Similarly,
George Washington's Letter to the Hebrew Congregation of
Newport in response to
Moses Seixas' Letter from Congregation Yeshuat Israel affirmed
that from the moment of the US Constitution's enacting Jews would
be equal citizens in the United States, entitled to all rights of
the Non-Jewish majority.
Now this is not to say that there was never discrimination against
Jews in the United States, but that such discrimination was not led
by the government. Anti-Semitism in the United States has almost
exclusively been a social phenomenon and the government of the
United States has almost consistently treated Jews (as a class)
well.
Apathetic Minority
There is a small minority of Jews who do not care about America
because they have little consideration for any non-Jewish State,
but there is no animosity between them and America. They are only
apathetic. (It would be similar to asking "the average American"
about how he feels about Malawi; he wouldn't know anything and
would not care to learn anything.)
Asked in New York, United States of America, Colonial America, Continents and Regions
Why do they call the Northeastern U.S. 'New England'?

People don't call the Northeastern U.S., "New England," because
they are not the same thing. The Northeast region of the U.S. is
comprised of two smaller regions, New England and the Mid-Atlantic
States. The six New England states are Maine, Vermont, New
Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island.
The Mid-Atlantic States are New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, and some people consider Delaware, Maryland, Virginia
and West Virginia to be part of the Mid-Atlantic/Northeastern
region as well.
So, New England is not the Northeast. New England is PART of the
Northeast.
The New England states are called New England because they were
settled by the Pilgrims, who came from England. Except for Maine,
which was then part of Massachusetts, and Vermont, which declared
its independence separately, the New England states were all part
of the original 13 colonies.
