Nice mainstream sources. Now for the left, we have: ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, NPR, LA Times, NY Times, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, CNN, MSNBC, HuffPost, Media Matters....

WMD of course. I was thinking in terms of projecting military power. The US is almost unique in being able to send troops anywhere on the planet within 24 hours. They have airlift and sealift capacity that other countries (even China) do not. Ditto force multipliers like air to air refueling capabilities, long range bombers, carrier strike forces, Marine amphibious units, and so on. Even an invasion of a close island like Taiwan is arguably still not possible for the PLAN. This is why, for example when natural disasters happen the US Military is often one of the first and most important organizations to arrive and start helping people.

First, tell me about this "right wing media" because I haven't seen or heard much of them.

Nothing to do with guidance counselors or talking to teachers. THe law only refers to what is part of the curriculum and what is taught. Not what is said. Counselors are not part of the teacher/school realm of responsibility. Plus, there is no reason to teach sex or identity to students in grade 3 or below. None whatsoever.

True,all based on the mistaken and arrogant belief that a rich China would become a more democratic China. So the US and others believed. Now we are stuck up sh!t creek with very few viable options. At least China doesn't have the ability to project power outside of Asia...yet. But they are getting there.

None of the ones you mentioned are running for President (thank God). Check out Vivek, he is a sharp guy. Has a genuine patriotism that sometimes only comes from recent immigrant families. Tim Scott is another genuinely decent man. Raised in poverty but became a US Senator. Impressive.

Not true.

"Learn in school" doesn't require porn in the school library. Perhaps a guidance counsellor or trusted teacher might be the better option.

Doesn't matter because Trump isn't the President. And Biden is. So Biden's obvious failings are far more important and relevant. FWIW I would prefer neither of them to even run for President in 2024, let alone win. But both parties seem determined to have a kind of reverse popularity contest.

No, I mean people like Vivek Ramaswamy, Nikki Haley, Tim Scott, Francis Suarez...

I agree. Nothing more frustrating than a beautiful picture of some natural scene, with some idiot's big fat head taking up the bottom half with a stupid grin on his face. Exceptions made for elegant bikini shots with ladies (in full figure) stretched out somewhere in the shot....

Lovely place near Chiang Rai is Doi Tung Royal Villa. It is a Royal Project with beautiful gardens and great coffee. Like all Royal Projects, very well kept and picturesque.

Ouch. That was cold. ????

Civil litigation. Not guilty. Liable but not guilty. The precise term I can't remember but it wasn't Sexual Assault IIRC.

What "right wing media" would that be? Hell, not even Fox News is right wing these days. Are you saying the only viable Democratic possible candidates are gay/female/minority? Lots of GOP candidates fit the latter two of those categories and they are being treated just like anyone else. Except by the left wing media, of course.

Shoot it down over Alaska (if not sooner), not let it transverse all of North America. Upon learning the origin, immediate economic sanctions. Immediate recognition of Taiwan as an independent country, followed by a treaty of mutual defence (along with Japan and other Asian nations).

Sounds like BS to me. If you drive a car, have a job, have a bank account, have a credit card, get government benefits, then you have an ID. ...and your article is more than 10 years old.

Especially that lousy republican governor who increased his margin of victory by 3% MORE than 2018............oh wait, nevermind.....

Also three weeks of early voting. And absentee voting on demand. And voting from 7am to 7pm on election day. IF a person cant be bothered to do any of those, they dont deserve the vote.

How so? He loves single payer health care, opposes corporate domination of America, believes the MIC is killing the middle class, supports a wealth tax, wants to punish climate change deniers, etc. Sounds like a Democrat to me.

Hmmm, so 1.1 million arrived in 5 months. Those 5 months also include the highest season of the year. So of COURSE there will be nearly 4 million more tourists in the remaining slow 7 months. These guys are getting a bit high on their own supply.

Can't be the latter. The Skywalk does not allow people to take their own pictures! All cameras and phones have to be left behind before entering the SKywalk. Of course, you can buy 'souvenir' photos from the 'official photographer' if you like... Sounds like a scam to me. Minimum 64 bucks per person. https://grandcanyonwest.com/tickets/

I have been reading too much political news. I read that to say "that vessel must have a transgender on board..." Time to get a hobby...

I would happily vote "none of the above " for the three dudes mentioned in the OP. Don't think any of them are fascists, except perhaps in the modern definitin of "fascist", which has become "a politician I don't like". I am surprised that RFK Jr is keeping his polling numbers. He is making a case that Biden needs to be primaried alive. IMHO IF Trump isn't the GOP nominee, the Democrats will move heaven and earth to get Joe AND Kamala off the ticket- they would be destroyed otherwise. Gavin Newsom is waiting in the wings, preparing his hair gel and tooth whitener.

Thought it was obvious, the mess of the whole spy balloon saga. Letting China violate American sovereignty with no reprecussions. Then prevaricating on the severity of it, and absolving the leadership of the CPC of blame.
