In that case,I think we can agree about that for the president of Ukraine too.

Right. Just the Way right wingers kept mum during the Obama and Biden administrations?

An innovation that came into existence years ago could now help the United States tackle China’s dominance in a key sector. A scientist working at the University of Minnesota lab years ago developed the world’s first iron nitride magnet, a revolutionary technology forged from iron and nitrogen without using rare earth elements. https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/rare-earth-free-magnet-help-us

Xi Jinping is not satisfied with winning the trade war

I cited another source to confirm that it does exist. Whether it's as menacing as WION says is dubious. Anyway, another piece of evidence to show that China would be a formidable military foe. Although there are reasons for doubting that, too. -
Evidence?

Please, could you be more vague? Here are some of the lies he repeatedly says. And these are huge ones which he uses to justify his policies. The US trade deficit with Canada: Trump has repeatedly said the US has a “$200 billion” trade deficit with Canada. That’s not even close to true. Official US statistics show the 2024 deficit with Canada in goods and services trade was $35.7 billion. Even if you only count trade in goods and ignore the services trade at which the US excels, the deficit was $70.6 billion. https://www.yahoo.com/news/fact-check-nine-trump-false-154530911.html In 2024, “China made $1 trillion off trade with the United States.” US trade deficit with China is less than $300 billion, not $1 trillion, as Donald Trump said https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2025/apr/11/donald-trump/donald-trump-wrong-china-1-trillion-trade-deficit/ Trump’s Latest False Claim About the U.S.-China Trade Deficit The total U.S. trade deficit with China in goods and services in 2023 was about $252 billion, the lowest it has been in 14 years. Former President Donald Trump was way off when he falsely claimed that the U.S.-China trade gap is about four times as high. “Right now, we have the largest deficit we’ve ever had with China, like over a trillion dollars,” Trump said in an interview for Fox News’ “The Will Cain Show,” which was posted online June 3. “Think of how bad that is. Too much. You can’t sustain that.” https://www.factcheck.org/2024/06/trumps-latest-false-claim-about-the-u-s-china-trade-deficit/

US deports 3 American children, including cancer patient: rights groups One of the US children removed from the country has "a rare form of metastatic cancer" and was deported without medication or medical consultations, the ACLU said... Three American children aged two, four and seven -- one of whom has a rare form of cancer -- have been deported from the United States alongside their undocumented immigrant mothers, campaigners announced Saturday... The administration of President Donald Trump contends one of the women asked for her child to be sent with her. https://www.yahoo.com/news/us-deports-3-american-children-015612747.html I had my doubts but when the government contended that the mother asked for her child to be sent with her, who could doubt that Mom wanted her child to die? So believable.

This is truly weird coming from a Trump supporter given that the President repeatedly tells the same huge falsehoods aggressively and with mockery.
-
Whereas the hypocrisy of Trump supporters makes them look like paragons of honesty?
-
I don't know whether they implied it or not, but I do know hypocrisy when I see it. As for Zelensky, he is not wearing a military uniform. For one thing, no bars indicating rank and no medals, So, no, he's not stealing valor.( I did notice that you spelled valour the way the British do...hmmmmm)

Do you ever stop and think how foolish such comments are. Ya think that there aren't a host of right wing journalists who would love nothing better than to catch out MSM in a lie? You got any evidence at all that Fortune is lying? Here's a link to a far more detailed report on sartorial standards requested by the Vatican: https://metro.co.uk/2025/04/26/popes-funeral-a-strict-dress-code-not-everyone-followed-rules-22977721/

Just to clarify. It doesn't use fission or fusion. It does generate a huge amount of heat "Developed by the China State Shipbuilding Corporation’s 705 Research Institute, the device used a magnesium-based solid-state hydrogen storage material known as magnesium hydride, which stores considerably more hydrogen than a pressurised tank. This compound was activated by conventional explosives and made to undergo rapid thermal decomposition, releasing hydrogen gas that ignited into a sustained inferno. Researchers observed regarding the test: "Hydrogen gas explosions ignite with minimal ignition energy, have a broad explosion range, and unleash flames that race outward rapidly while spreading widely…" https://militarywatchmagazine.com/article/china-nonnuclear-hydrogen-warhead-gamechanger -
Fox News Viewers Get An Uncomfortable Truth About Trump On Live TV

You mean like taking steps to greatly increase the national debt? -
What propaganda? The Vatican did ask attendees to wear black. Trump didn't. Others didn't also but why is that relevant? It was Trump supporters who made such a big deal out of Zelensky violating sartorial norms. When Trump does it, it's no big deal.

I know Trump's fans are big supporters of sartorial propriety. And no doubt they will condemn anyone who violates the accepted dress code for a funeral. The Vatican asked Pope Francis funeral attendees to wear all black. Trump wore a blue suit https://archive.ph/98IAi

First off, I've noticed that you dropped your insistence that Biden didn't enlarge the coverage for lowering the cost of insulin. In fact, I believe you called that a "huge lie". So, was it a lie or not? . During his first 2 years, Biden had the barest majority possible in the Senate. No Republicans in either the House or Senate voted for it. So Biden had to lower the goalposts. So that meant accepting the delay on instituting lower prices. And here's something you've apparently forgotten. In 2016 Trump campaigned on allowing Medicare to negotiate prices. He reneged on that promise after the election. And there's this: Trump Reverses Some Biden Drug Pricing Initiatives, Potentially Impacting Medicare Costs President Donald J. Trump’s second-term health care agenda is taking shape with a clear focus on undoing several Biden-era policies.1 On Inauguration Day, January 20, 2025, Trump signed an executive order reversing initiatives aimed at reducing prescription drug costs for Medicare and Medicaid recipients, expanding the Affordable Care Act (ACA), and increasing protections for Medicaid enrollees. However, experts suggest that the changes may have little immediate impact on out-of-pocket (OOP) health care costs for most Americans. https://www.ajmc.com/view/trump-reverses-some-biden-drug-pricing-initiatives-potentially-impacting-medicare-costs And this: Trump Just Caved to Big Pharma—Again': New Order Aims to Delay Drug Price Negotiations U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order that aims to delay Medicare negotiations for a broad category of prescription drugs, handing the deep-pocketed pharmaceutical industry a major win as it lobbies aggressively against efforts to rein in its pricing power. Trump's order, titled "Lowering Drug Prices by Once Again Putting Americans First," instructs Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to work with Congress to "modify" the Medicare drug price negotiation program that was established under the Biden administration and has already yielded significant results despite pharma companies' best efforts to block it in court. Specifically, Trump calls for a four-year extension of the period during which small-molecule prescription drugs are exempt from price negotiations with Medicare. https://www.ajmc.com/view/trump-reverses-some-biden-drug-pricing-initiatives-potentially-impacting-medicare-costs

You know, before you accuse others of lying, you might want to consider doing a search to see if your claim is true. As, for instance, in the present case: "But whereas the Trump program applied only to certain Medicare Part D plans, the act mandated that all Medicare drug programs cap out-of-pocket insulin costs — including those in what’s known as Medicare Part B, which pays for medical equipment such as insulin pumps. The act’s insulin provisions took effect Jan. 1, 2023, for Part D plans and July 1 of that year for Part B. The act also mandated that the out-of-pocket price cap apply to all insulin products a given Medicare plan covers, not just a subset." https://kffhealthnews.org/news/article/fact-check-trump-lower-insulin-prices-false/

This is the most silly kind of nitpicking. As though the point of polling is to measure the opinions of a selected group that has no significance beyond that. Pollsters claim to be measuring public opinion. Is there anyone so ignorant who believes that they poll every potential voter in the country? I just went to Rasmussen's website and here's what it said: The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows that 47% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Fifty-one percent (51%) disapprove. Is anyone going to claim that Rasmussen is trying to skew the relevance of its polls in favor of the Democrats by not explicitly noting it's just a measurement of a group of people and nothing more?
