I brought up the Iraq war because it showed how questionable Victor David Hanson's judgment is. You bring brought up the irrelevant issue of transgenderism repeatedlybecause the only I can see for it is that you're obsessed.

What conda is up to here is trying to make the political personal. And the reason he's trying to do that is because, basically, he's got nothing.

Correct he did have his day in court. In fact it was the Supreme Court. Are you familiar with the Supreme Court? It was the Supreme Court that ordered the Trump administration to facilitate the return of Garcia. But I do concede that it was only 9 of the Supreme Court justices who concurred. Maybe you'll only concede such a decision was definitive if it was 10 out of the 9 justices? Or maybe you believe that Thomas, Alito, Barrett, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Roberts are secretly Marxists?

How did you possibly construe from that that they weren't being put into action? Whatever companies are doing now to expand their businesses comes from a plan that has already been formulated. Maybe you should consider making it a palsy to read past the headlines. Now that would be a new plan for you.

It's a good thing that you're not obsessed. Because if you were obsessed you'd be bringing up transgender issues in a thread featuring a topic that had nothing to do with the issue... oh wait a minute...

... a review of the promised spending reveals that some companies committed to their investments previously, including under the Biden administration. Some are part of regular, ongoing business costs. Others lack specific commitments. https://archive.ph/h6Sgg

I don't know why using videos seems to mostly be a predilection of Trumpists. What apparently will take almost 18 minutes for this video to reveal, should be able to be said in paragraph. That is, of course, unless the reasoning is faulty or the information is false It's a lot harder to get away with that kind of deception with the written word, So, come to think of it, I do understand why Trumpists rely so much on video, If you've got an explanation to offer about why a plurality is really a majority, put it in writing, I won't hold my breath waiting for it.

So what's stopping you from showing it?

Victor Davis Hanson has never altered in his support for the 2nd Iraq War. There should be no more use for him than there is for Liz Cheneywho also still defends that war.

Since I'm not going to sit through a 41 minute video or any part of it, what I do know is that CEOs are playing Trump's policies. In fact, the indications are that businesses are holding back on spending since they don't know what new surprises Trump is going to spring on them, The Wall St Journal did a report on Apple's $500 billion investment plan. Apple said it was a response to Trump. The Wall St. Journal noted that the projection in spending was in line with what Apple had spent before. All Apple had to do was to give credit to Trump. It cost them nothing. in Trump did subsequently cancel the huge tariffs on Apple products imported from China, Quid pro quo? Who knows?

Who is they? The deaths began to decline before the the 2nd Trump administration Given the proposed cuts to Narcan aid, that may be reversed.

Still making it personal. Have you ever considered that Musk's support of Trump, who is doing his best to promote pollution and destroy climate change resort, might be enough of an incentive to wish him financial ill?

Making it personal is the surest sign that you've got nothing,

In other words, you've got nothing.

Why would I have heard of such things? I'm not a physician nor a medical researcher nor an epidemiologist. Although, to be accurate, I had heard of Guillaume Barre and myocarditis. Anyway, what's your point?

As per usual you fail to engage with the facts and instead offer facile characterizations. You've got nothing.

It is sad that there never were those afflictions before the introduction of the covid vaccines. If there had been, then epidemiologists could compare the rates of those afflictions that were endemic before the covid virus existed. Still they could have compared the rates between those who had been vaccinated and those who hadn't. As it is..oh wait a minute...make that double wait a minute..

At any rate, it looks like Trump is out to top the heights reached during Biden's term before the decline in deaths began: Trump plan to slash lifesaving Narcan would cost lives, Hamilton County officials say Federal funding for Narcan, an overdose-reversing medication that has saved the lives of more than 110,000 people in Ohio alone over the past decade, is in jeopardy. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services plans to decrease its discretionary spending by a third, which includes terminating lifesaving programs like a $56 million grant that distributes naloxone, including the brand Narcan, across the country and trains first responders in how to use it. Now, Hamilton County officials are scrambling to figure out how much of the county's supply of the overdose-reversal drug depends on the federal grant – and whether they can convince President Donald Trump to change course. https://archive.ph/frLhX#selection-553.0-573.223

The latest 12 month period for which data is available runs from Oct 1, 2023 to sep 20, 2024: New provisional data from CDC's National Vital Statistics System predict a nearly 24% decline in drug overdose deaths in the United States for the 12 months ending in September 2024, compared to the previous year. This is the most recent national data available and shows a continued steep decline in overdose deaths. Provisional data shows about 87,000 drug overdose deaths from October 2023 to September 2024, down from around 114,000 the previous year. https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2025/2025-cdc-reports-decline-in-us-drug-overdose-deaths.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com ● In 2020, 91,799 drug overdose deaths occurred in the United States for an age-adjusted rate of 28.3 per 100,000 standard population (Figure 1). The rate in 2020 (28.3) was 31% higher than the rate in 2019 (21.6). https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/databriefs/db428.pdf

I am confident that being the honorable person we know them to be, he will openly and gracefully concede their error.

Trump has become an international electoral object lesson. Which can be summarized as "There but for the grace of God go we."

You need to contemplate this:

More evidence free deflection from you. Obsessed much?

I You claim to have read the article your link connects to. Did you skip over this? "Instead of making money by selling supplies to franchisees or demanding huge royalties…the McDonald’s Corporation became the landlord to its franchisees.They bought the properties and then leased them out – at large markups." That's why I keep on asking this question: How do the franchisees manage to pay McDonald's? By renting parking spaces? In other words, where does the franchisees' income come from?

No it's you who doesn't understand how franchises make money. How do you think franchisees pay for rent and the products that the franchiser sells them? By renting parking spaces?
