That all sounds rather 3rd person. I'd be more interested in what he actually said, especially given the Pharma funded MSM's recent tendency to misquote people that step away from the accepted narrative. Then I'd be interested in the study that nobody probably did comparing the vaccine uptake before and after his visit. Along with a count of how many people actually missed their scheduled vaccines in the time between his visit and the surge in cases. Four months you say? Vaccine hesitance doesn't work that fast.

I'd be interested in seeing that video. Or even a transcript.

I'd refrain from commenting if that was my level of understanding of global trade.

That's good info, but all I see is food. How about the 80% tariff on cars, added to the other fees that basically triple the landed cost of a US car into Thailand?

So how is that RFK's fault? And on an aside, what's the incidence rate of autism in Samoan kids? Maybe that would be a good data point to study?

And he unvaccinated all the kids who hadn't been vaccinated in the previous decades?

I don't question their ability to get a better tariff deal. I question their will and their motives.

I keep UHT around for my coffee. In the USA, I binned more milk than I ever got to use. It goes bad long before I drink that much coffee. I'm not much for actually drinking milk.

It's fun to watch him stomp his little lefty feet and huff and puff.

I guess the biggest question is whether Thailand will actually make stuff, or just repackage stuff.

Do you really think the list price is the actual amount of money changing hands? What about government subsidies, incentives and bonuses?

Perhaps that's because Americans know you can't decrease it any more? We're satisfied with the current level of pretty much zilch. As opposed to the wide ass open border of previous years. Nothing burger. Edit: I'm referring, of course, to illegal immigration. The vast majority of Americans are in favor of legal immigration. The way it's being done now...

No. DEI is assigning a 5'6" 120# woman in a position where she may be called on to be a human shield for a 6'2" fat guy. The woman was nothing but heart and courage in this picture, and I respect and commend her for that. But she was in the wrong job. Don't even get me started on the one that couldn't get her gun back in its holster after several tries.

Leading to this hilarious Mission Impossible meme: And this one: It was a monumental USSS fustercluck, and heads should have rolled that week.

After watching dozens of YouTube episodes of Adventures With Purpose and spinoffs (and other channels), I wonder how many cars and trucks are at the bottom of Thai lakes and rivers. The YouTube guys go around the USA looking for people's loved ones or just random vehicles and sometimes find a dozen cars in a short stretch of river. Mostly unoccupied, but occasionally with bodies in them. I'm too old to even think about scuba diving for wrecks in murky Thai waters, but if I were younger...

I don't claim a crystal ball. Just a lookback. And a reality check with Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, etc. Personally, I think the key in Iran is to get the populace to rise up against the Mullahs and go back to the progressive and prosperous country it was before they took power in '78 (I think that's the year). That's possible only if Israel doesn't kill too many moderate Iranians and turn their survivors into angry zealots. I'd like to think they have a plan for that. But again. No crystal ball. If they are able to turn Iran, they may have peace. But not if they just knock Iran back.

As if the knobs who replace them will be any better?

Israel will still be fighting enemies in 50, 75 and 100 years. The Brits left them in an intractable situation back in '48. If they eliminate Hamas, it'll be someone else next time. And there will be a next time. They're creating zealots faster than they can possibly kill them.

Good for her! The guy was a hero. More good justice news is Douglass Mackey who's now suing the DOJ after his sentence was overturned. You may remember that he's the guy prosecuted and imprisoned just for reposting this: BTW, if you're dumb enough to think you can vote by text, maybe you shouldn't be allowed to vote.

You forgot #4. He's trolling for lefties and he keeps getting bite after bite. TBH, it is kind of fun to watch them stamping their little lefty feet and huffing and puffing while their heads explode, even figuratively.

Now you're just being ridiculous. What does that have to do with the $4,239 per taxpayer that it cost us to NOT get rid of the Taliban. And wouldn't it be stooppid to repeat that mistake to NOT get rid of the Houthis? TAB A - FY 2001 to FY 2021 Section 1090 FY17 NDAA Cost of Wars per Taxpayer.xlsx https://comptroller.defense.gov/ I'd point out that the gub'ment was lying to us in this 2022 (Biden era) report, given that the actual cost of the US Afghan war was over $2.2 Trillion (Source: Brown University), not the $850 billion claimed on this report. Meaning that the cost per taxpayer was closer to $11,000 than to $4,239. That's a lot of coin only to watch the Taliban parading US military equipment around the country.

As a taxpayer, yes. I am personally poorer. I hope I don't have to explain taxes to you?

In that respect, the Houthis are rather like the Taliban. Militarily inferior, yet here we are, $$trillions poorer for the effort.

Yeah, right. The Dems have meetings to scheme how they're going to sabotage Trump. Some public, a lot of them in secret. They're not discussing how they're going to make America better for citizens. They just discuss how they're going to sabotage Trump. Why do you figure long time Dem supporters like Carville and Dimon are telling begging the Dems to get back out of the weeds?

the first MAGA Crisis Far from the first and it won't be the last. That's a risk of putting so many alpha personalities on a team. Then throw in the Dems and MSM employing the most manipulative minds in the world to sabotage them and sow discord, no matter how much they have to damage America to get back into power (and relevance in the case of the MSM). They'll work through it.
