Two of the largest are Democrat Party and "Progressive" Pacs. I support campaign financing contribution caps. As long as there are no caps and limits, the potential for abuse will remain for all political interests. Sen. John McCain tried to implement these reforms. he was blocked by multiple interests.Mon, 22 Jun 2026 17:02:25 +0000I will await your erstwhile condemnation the next time such an event is mentioned in the news section.Mon, 22 Jun 2026 16:59:26 +0000At least you admit that you are commenting without having read the reports. I give you credit for that. The problem is not "all immigrants". It is specific to a specific demographic, and it is a proven, demonstrable demographic. Even if you do not wish to accept some of the Lowe report conclusions, the government's own multiple reports identified that there were gang rapes and that vulnerable minor were passed from man to man for sexual abuse. This is what a rape gang does,Mon, 22 Jun 2026 16:58:36 +0000got it. you contend melania is a whore and trump wants to bang ivanka. i would expect nothing less from someone whose user name is the same as a notorious sex murderer.Mon, 22 Jun 2026 16:56:47 +0000It must be another "Christian" Mexican named Josh.Mon, 22 Jun 2026 16:56:37 +0000Skyscanner also displays a rating for those agentsMon, 22 Jun 2026 16:56:01 +0000Not even that much on the "drug" boats.Mon, 22 Jun 2026 16:55:03 +0000Not the dossier, just a press release.Mon, 22 Jun 2026 16:53:43 +0000Indeed there is nothing wrong with stating facts that are available in the public domainMon, 22 Jun 2026 16:53:06 +0000Evidence or source please.Mon, 22 Jun 2026 16:51:20 +0000got. its not ok to call melania a whore and say trump wants to bang his daughter. guess you will call out that talk from the women hating eurotrash.Mon, 22 Jun 2026 16:50:24 +0000All you can here on the news here in the UK is the threat of Reform, and Burnham is the only main runner capable of halting Reform being the next government. Which tells me Farage and reform are a seriouse threat to Labour.Mon, 22 Jun 2026 16:48:17 +0000If he realised what he's done to his country, better to just shoot himself. This made me think about how focused we are on US gun violence. Israel--obviously--has a lot of guns. Anybody know how much gun violence there is in Israel. (No, I don't mean the murderous IDF.) I just read that the 52nd Battalion Commander who was erased by Hezbollah in Lebanon was also behind the murder of Hind Rajab--a child pleading for her life. I don't feel much compassion at his death.)Mon, 22 Jun 2026 16:47:31 +0000I think you will find more recent studies suggest special plastic double layer walls, with water stored in between two layers of the walls. And then outside the walls only about 1.5 meters of regolith. That's just one of various possible concepts. 6 meters?? Not necessary if other shielding added. Viable engineering approaches include multiple layers for the wall/ceiling, such as ~1.5 meters regolith, then two thin plastic walls separated by about 10cm, with water stored in between the walls in that 10cm separation. And then a final thick plastic layer with embedded metal mesh, and an electric current run through the mesh to create an electric barrier - an electric shield in effect. ... This is just one such idea and there are others - likely superior to that speculation of mine. Sure - one could live 6-meters underground, but why, when there are alternatives? But as i suspect you agree, there are deeper issues. Absolutely not there yet. But serious studying is ongoing to figure this out. For example ... Propellant production (to allow rockets such as a future Starship derivative) to refuel a rocket on Mars is theoretically possible. Propellant production on Mars relies on In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU), which extracts carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and water ice from the subsurface; consequently, landing sites are being carefully selected with local ice accessibility in mind. Through electrolysis, water is split into hydrogen and oxygen; the hydrogen is then combined with carbon dioxide in a type of Sabatier reactor to synthesize methane (CH4). Early Starship missions will likely carry the industrial hardware required to perform this synthesis on-site. This capability to manufacture both fuel and oxidizer (LOX) is one of the reasons why methane was chosen for Starship as part of the propellant, as it enables a closed-loop refueling system for return missions, eliminating the need to haul return propellant from Earth. .... Again , obviously there are other massive factors and very difficult challenges, but this is seriously being examined. As noted less than 6-meters is viable ... still , the distance under ground aside, I think we agree, who would want to live on Mars or on the Moon, which are IMHO ugly places to live compared to earth? Not me. Even if living on the surface with some radiation shielded accommodation, I for one, would not want to live there. It can't possibly (IMHO) compare to earth. I suspect some of the young may find it appealing, but I suspect, IF development continues (and that is a BIG 'if' ), we are over a century away from creating a Martian habitat of suitable structure with facilities, to make such adequate for a self sustaining civilization. One step at a time, I guess.Mon, 22 Jun 2026 16:46:31 +0000Don't start bringing leftisms in this Yellowtail please you will only get JB on your case.Mon, 22 Jun 2026 16:42:42 +0000Please should lead by example. There are days when you statements are no better.Mon, 22 Jun 2026 16:41:21 +0000Ya think? Duh, I bet her birth name was the nice Jewish moniker, Silverman. Waddya think?Mon, 22 Jun 2026 16:38:46 +0000Diplomatic speculations so far. "We will keep on talking". No more. Best indicator: The price of Brent Crude Oil. If it drops to 70$, everything will eventually be OK. If it stays around 80 $ it would mean that "nothing is resolved".Mon, 22 Jun 2026 16:38:09 +0000I have collected quite a lot of elm furniture over the years. Only antiques because: Dutch elm disease. Beautiful trees, not many left. I use an inhaler occasionally. Never got a seed up me snout.Mon, 22 Jun 2026 16:35:46 +0000BrandonJT, thank you for that.Mon, 22 Jun 2026 16:32:45 +0000Yep. Got in there this morning. Wife's (Japanese pp) visa already approved. They're making me wait. Incidentally, got taken aside crossing at Nong Khai, for the Very Stern Talking To. Silly of me to say "Thailand" and not Bulgaria or Canada when asked where I was going after Laos. Grumpy IO asked me how long in Laos, did I have ticket home, when was that etc. Settled down when I said I was applying for a SETV, but really, leaving the country, it's all theatre, isn't it? Two other farang foreigners also got the side room, despite only being in Thialand 3 weeks. Japanese stamped out with a smile.Mon, 22 Jun 2026 16:29:39 +0000Hannity warned back in July 2025 that the Dem Party was undergoing a “scary transformation” and the radical DSA backed candidate Chevalier in New York’s 13th Congressional District proves he was right. This Mamdani ,Sanders, AOC endorsed challenger has a history of calling to abolish police, prisons, and borders, with deleted posts declaring radically a world without them is “necessary and the only moral way forward.” Even now, as voters head to the polls tomorrow, she dodges basic questions about putting murderers in prison. This is exactly the modern Dem Party Hannity predicted, increasingly extreme, socialist driven, and willing to let fringe abolitionist voices challenge incumbents while mainstream Dem's either stay silent or go along. The transformation isn’t coming it’s already here. https://www.foxnews.com/video/6375692640112Mon, 22 Jun 2026 16:28:03 +0000Ah, non-consensual like those child rapes? If not a legal responsibility, I think it's a moral responsibility. I was in a jail cell with Dr Spock. He'd just been circumcised when he was 70--his choice. There are 10,000 nerve endings in the foreskin. And somebody's going to cut that off a human being with no agency?!? Completely barbaric! It's child abuse!Mon, 22 Jun 2026 16:28:02 +0000Mon, 22 Jun 2026 16:27:22 +0000I'm traveling to Bangkok with my family. We're from Sweden — do we need to apply for a visa? Should we exchange currency to cash before arriving in Bangkok, or is it better to withdraw locally from an ATM? Will our electrical equipment work there? We're planning to stay for about a month. What's the best option for buying a SIM card?Mon, 22 Jun 2026 16:27:17 +0000
