  1. You're so hard on those Bidens.
  2. It's your chart. Why not explain it?
  3. Should we pro rate 2025 up to 4%?
  4. As per usual, most here are ignoring the debt problem. Trump mentioned the huge debt and said he wanted a lower dollar and USD interest rates before the election. The intent is to at least cut the interest payments on that debt, which are well over 1T/year now. He is seeing the dollar go down but bond yields actually increased last time the Fed fund rates were cut - that is not supposed to happen and the recent bond auction flopped - a huge and difficult problem and there is little confidence in the USD currency and dollar treasuries already. The Fed is losing control. The can may be kicked down the road (again) for a while with further "QE" but that will just make the end game even more painful.
  5. I use the sad emoji frequently. This is because other more suitable options are not offered. If I've already commented on a topic but then see the same old gash popping up being repeated endlessly, then I feel so sad. Most of the emojis offered here identify positive responses but I always feel there is a poor selection of more less approving types, e.g bs, moronic and bored.
  6. Clinton managed a small surplus late in his term but the debt still increased every year.
  7. Good news for the consumer. Bad news for the protester. Scrambled or fried?
  8. There is nothing "normal" about this mess.
  9. What is Vital Factor? Some new shampoo?
  10. You gave no proof either. Trump $7.8 trillion, with at least half of that a direct extra cost due to Covid. Biden $8.5trillion. Not 6T.
  11. The May - October reference is to the SW Monsoon, which is still the main source of rain to the majority of the country.
  12. In my part of the country it used to be basically dry from November-May, bar a very few light afternoon showers in Feb/Mar, becoming a bit more frequent in April but never long-lived. Blue skies most of the time and very hot from March-June. In recent years we have had some rain in all months of the year and particularly more from February to April, which has resulted in lower temps then and a markedly cooler "hot" season, with only a few really hot days, as well as reduced humidity. This year we've had more "early" rain than I can remember, although it has been trending this way for a few years. Last year, the "hot season here started late and was very short. The main effect of this seems to be lower precipitation through the main rainy (SW Monsoon) season, which can be a problem for water storage and farmers. So, the term "climate change" rather than "global warming" seems more usable here, where the average annual temperature is decreasing.
  13. It looks like that it's you who does not do not understand what SOLAS rules apply to. SOLAS regulations are relevant to merchant shipping; they were certainly not created with overloaded rubber ducks in mind. It is the French, who encourage and allow the people smugglers to send these unseaworthy boats off into immediate danger. The UK is just wasting money on the French by trusting them.
  14. Your numbers are all wrong. Where did you find them?
  15. And the French don't give a fig about them anyway.
  16. I gave you plenty. You didn't read them did you?? Here's another: https://cha.house.gov/2024/3/chairman-loudermilk-publishes-never-before-released-anthony-ornato-transcribed-interview
  17. This nonsense here is you replying to posts that I did not put up. It might appear to some that you are dishonest.
  18. I hope you can get your message across. I tried....but nooooo.
  19. That trust has been evaporating for years, too.
  20. China has been steadily reducing their holdings for years.
