Trump owns the simpleton libtards. Be sure to check out the democrat Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) in a hearing questioning why all detainees at Delaney Hall are foreigners in the context of racism, while noting ICE detention centers like this one are designated for non-citizens in immigration proceedings. Here's sleepy Trump trolling liberal muppets. tYX5clD0jycpn8pe.mp4Sat, 06 Jun 2026 08:47:49 +0000Yes it really shows what kind of clowns are on this forum.

People need to look at the big(ger) picture. Why weren't the Catholic Church investigated earlier, following many reports of abuse?Why was the Jersey children's hone scandal not investigated sooner? Why was Nathan Bennet allowed to continue his abuse despite being reported? Why were the two boys not locked up for rape recently? Whyvwas Ian Huntley not investigated for previous crimes reported against him, only to be allowed to remain free and murder two girls? As examples. Feelings should not be allowed to get in the way of facts. Quite right. People, of any walk of life, who are more concerned about the ethnicity of the perpetrator rather than the impact the crime has had on the victims and their families, are the problem.Sat, 06 Jun 2026 08:46:23 +0000The quality of the film and the installation has much to do with whether it bubbles.

Another example two twin brothers retire on the same day, one retires to live in the USA fifty yds from the Canadian border while his brother retires to Canada 50 meters from the USA border . They can now call out to each other but only one of them receives an annual increase in their contributed state pension.Sat, 06 Jun 2026 08:42:45 +0000Stupid is as stupid does !!

The demand, delivered at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, has intensified a growing debate over whether Washington's strategy is strengthening regional security or pushing allies towards an expensive and potentially dangerous arms race. Asean’s Balancing Act Comes Under Pressure For decades, Southeast Asia has relied on diplomacy, economic integration and dialogue to maintain stability among rival powers. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) has positioned itself as a bridge between competing global interests, bringing together countries that might otherwise struggle to share the same table. Its model has prioritised negotiation over confrontation and economic growth over military expansion. Hegseth's message challenged that approach directly. Calling for "more combat power" and fewer conferences, he signalled a sharper US focus on military preparedness across the region. The Bill Could Be Enormous Meeting Washington's target would require several major Southeast Asian nations to dramatically increase defence spending. Countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines would need to more than double current military budgets. Critics warn that money redirected into weapons systems would inevitably come at the expense of healthcare, education and infrastructure at a time when economic growth is already under pressure. The concern is not simply financial. In countries where armed forces retain significant political influence, larger defence budgets could strengthen military establishments while weakening civilian institutions. Economic Risks Meet Strategic Anxiety The timing is particularly sensitive. Southeast Asian economies are grappling with trade uncertainty, slowing global demand and wider geopolitical instability. Analysts warn that weaker growth combined with rising defence costs could fuel domestic unrest and political instability. Governments facing economic strain may become more vulnerable to nationalist pressures or internal tensions. A Bigger Question for Washington The debate ultimately extends beyond defence spending. If both the United States and its partners continue increasing military budgets, regional leaders are asking a fundamental question: towards what end? With Washington and Beijing attempting to maintain guardrails in their relationship, some policymakers fear that an escalating military build-up could create new risks without providing clear answers. For Southeast Asia, the challenge is no longer just balancing great powers. It is avoiding becoming trapped between them.
