well that multi-billion dollar resort his sons are over seeing there and the other one in Saudi each a billion apiece, plus the condo bldg I heard had each condo going for 20 million USD. I guess they need additional housing for all the rich folks in western world fleeding local taxes. BTW how many pink MAGA hats for mothers day do you think will be sold? probably made in China too!

and how many manufacturing plants do YOU think will be built in a "couple of years" to employ humans - look for AI controlled robotics for any manufacturing plant. Those out of work folks still will not have a "well paying job" as most of them don't have the correct degree to operate the AI consoles. Meanwhile some manufacturers of TODAY are moving their operation to Mexico! John Deere farming equipment Boeing, Ford...yessir and that means that thousands of yesterday's workers will now be out of a job/health insurance/retirement savings, college funds for their kids and guess their young daughters will only get ONE doll and ONE pencil. Menawhile Trump continues to press the Congress to pass that BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL which includes tax breaks for the richest group! Instead of accepting that 400 million dollar plane for himself he ought to auction it off to his rich buddies an donate it to the American out of work folks!

yeah i'm guessing you think that you are the expert but IMHO you aren't even close.

the use of SIGNAL discussing the US attacks and yeah wife and brother though not cleared for that info. As for Biden I am not sure what you are talking about except feel it probably something mouthed by Trump without any proof that you picked up on. Trumps classified storage illegal in Fla. too but we probably won't hear much more about it as he will hide the evidence or have it deleted through his cronies in whatever agency they belong to.IMHO anyway. Having spent a career in that atmosphere, I am fully aware of limitations on ones actions and violations that need to be acted upon due to the seriousness of the classifications.

well the initial statement that no one is above the law - in the USof A today, that is incorrect - we see blatant violations of the espionage law - ( passing classified to unauthorized people), violating the US Constitution after taking an oath to protect it, and these are from the highest officials in the US government. From comments made recently. it might get worse! So much for a country once known for its freedoms and protections from such activities.

I think that it all comes down to what the food industry has "hooked" people on eating. They put so much bad chemicals into foods so that they can stay on the shelf longer but what does it do to the body? They have tried pricing cigarettes too high for people but that hasn't worked either I have a health insurance that has over a 100 pages of "benefits" of which 99% aren't applicable to me, I exercise regularly and have done my entire life, never overweight or fat, eat fruits and veggies, avoid fatty foods yet the cost of health insurance is zooming yearly. In my entire life I have never had a claim, my family members did so I also feel that folks who do take care of themselves should be given a break on health insurance costs. Mine is partially paid by the US govt due to my pension and they plan to change that so I will have to pay more and they will provide a voucher possibly to determine how much medical treatment might cost! meanwhile those American oversweights get the same coverage yet need a lot of treatments because of their lifestyle. I like the calorie tax though healthy foods can be heavy on calories too. My health insurance also has a wellness card to which I can be awarded for diets, vaccines, exercise, etc but in reality is just like my medicare coverage - only good within the US so when is a benefit not beneficial? Anyway I do wish the best of health to all here - if we could clear up the air pollution then that might help some but a different subject sorry.

I agree with your comments. As an American military/civil service retiree, 78 years old, I realized a long time ago that I was born at the right time to enjoy a wonderful life. I noticed the change beginning in the VN war - 2 years there and then when I returned to the US, not everyone had changed but many had - i.e. Trump and his heel spurs so he could avoid the draft - rich kid, but played all the major sports in college so guess those heel spurs didn't reall affect him. Then in my civilain status, I lived and worked in many countries around the world and only went back temporarily to the US so the change crept up on me. By the time I retired in earl 2000 period, the change was complete. I noticed that everyone being selected for candidacy of government offices was chosen by the superPacs. Yeah there were two different parties but both sets of candidates were fed monies by the rich and powerful. Now look at the Trump govt - the agency heads are worth over 450 BILLION USD, more than 172 countries' GDP. Once elected, they quickly learn the ways to become rich off a govt salary and it isn't easy for honest folks! They then immediately begin collecitng money from the superPacs to fund their re-election campaign chest. Since they are selected by the rich, they then cater to them to garner additional funds no reall separtion along party lines. I realized that the golden age is over for the US and it is still being destroyed even further by the policies of the rich so that they can control more and more ot the funds of the country. I left, being used to living overseas and liked Thailand the best with the Philippines a close second. I have had a great life and still enjoying it greatly in Paradise! I do hope the best for America in the end and all the rest of the world too.

I think a lot of that "only around foreigners" is because of the intenational travel on planes and thus being exposed to people possibly traveling through many different countries, and thus possibly exposed to some disease!

I don't see in your original that the septic was emptied a month ago, but they may have clogged up the drains there

you should understand that it is full of crap! that is why...someone just had to tell you I guess. If your house has a cess pool, might need pumped out and draining. If in a condo, somewhere along the drain might be being clogged up and will probably only get worse unless cleaned out.

Yeah and the headline earlier had Trump saying "yeah, guess the Chinese tariff should be around 80%. IMHO, since the Chinese indicated for weeks that they wouldn't talk unless Trump dropped the 145% tariff...hmm smells like another reversal by Trump's as he said not dropping at all!

Yessir I agree. Yesterday he makes this big announcement about the "first deal done!" with the UK - which BTW was one of the few trade deals that the US sold more to the UK than the UK sold to the US. Then after he announces 20 times or so how great a deal this new one with the UK is great for both countries, we learn that well nothing is written yet! it may take a few weeks for the written version to come about so still negotiating I guess. What a total IDIOT! Then he talks about when he was a kid riding around NYC in his dad's Rolls Royce so says will not tarif that as he wants Americans to buy that luxury car - now how many Americans can even afford to buy any new car right now especially a RR! So what is the latest - American automobile manufacturers, dealers, etc screaming that here Trump will let RR in without the tariff while American cars will only increase in prices! Every day something new and not pretty for Trump nor his Magaites. Wonder how long it is going to take for them to realize they have been sold down the proverbial path to poverty? Oh yeah meanwhile the Trump family in the 3 wonths of this term have increased their wealth by almost 3 billion dollars with deals on high-rises in Qatar and Saudi and whatever coin they are buying today!

basically, comes down to common sense. I haven't seen any additional required wearing of a mask but have noted more people are aware of the lurking diseases so see more masks. I have no problem with that as it is a personal thing and not something I disdain others of doing like so many people on this forum it seems to me (IMHO).

but, if someone continuously promises after day one he will accomplish numerous new rules and regulations that will take effect immediately. Everyone will have a well paying job and happy! Even if new manufacturing plants are built, they will house ROBOTS and not all those folks fired from their jobs and no pay at all . IMHO there are going to be some really unhappy people SOON! Congress still has to pass that "great big beautiful budget bill" with 680 billion US dollars found somewhere and they are still looking at medicafre and medicade plus other benefit programs that the rich never use so feel that they are useless and willing to make the poor and hungry suffer even more. I am not so sure that DJT will even be around in a couple of years - he seems to me to be fading just like ol' Biden was.

Yeah latest I heard was Biden is still responsible for the 90-sec dead air at Newark airport this week, plus the education system too, plus the market drop earlier was Biden;'s fault too, pretty soon folks might cease to blame Biden for everything Trump and the rich ones (450+ billions of US dollars together and more than 172 countries' GDP) in his cabinet. BTW FAA says someone at the pentagon earlier caused two commercial air passenger jets to abort their landing because some general using a helicopter for local travel.
