EU Vows Strong Response to Trump’s Tariff Threats
When a nation is not able to produce itsself at competative conditions, and worth buying, the only alternative is import it, just as the EU buys software and entertainment from the USA. Time to make European based movies, and software. And of course EU waponry and planes. US cars.. too big, to thirsty. With some luck, the best the EU could wish for = the MAGA of Liar Trump. -

What was your most memorable ?
I owned a 1980 BMW 323i which was the top model of the 3 series at that time. Had nice dual exhaust and was fast for that era. Sadly was stolen while I was at work in the Netherlands one day and police made you come in to their station for auto theft. Police said it was probably already on a ship in Belgium never to be seen again. Only had it a few months and was heartbroken to lose it. -

Trump and Musk’s Move to Dismantle USAID Sparks Showdown with Democrats
The Trump administration, in collaboration with billionaire ally Elon Musk, has set off a fierce political battle by moving to dismantle the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). The agency, which has played a crucial role in funding education and fighting starvation overseas for decades, now faces an uncertain future as congressional Democrats denounce the move as illegal and prepare for a court fight. “This is a constitutional crisis we are in today,” said Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy, reflecting the deep alarm among lawmakers. Maryland Democrat Jamie Raskin added, “We don’t have a fourth branch of government called Elon Musk. And that’s going to become real clear.” The impact of the move has already been felt worldwide. Thousands of USAID employees have been laid off, and vital international programs have been abruptly terminated in the two weeks since Trump returned to the White House and imposed a sweeping freeze on foreign assistance. Despite the U.S. allocating less than one percent of its budget to foreign aid—proportionally less than some other nations—the administration has justified the move with broad allegations of fraud, though no concrete evidence has been provided. “They went totally crazy, what they were doing and the money they were giving to people that shouldn’t be getting it and to agencies and others that shouldn’t be getting it, it was a shame, so a tremendous fraud,” Trump told reporters from the Oval Office. Sen. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland sharply criticized the decision, calling it “an illegal power grab” and “a corrupt abuse of power that is going on.” He further warned, “It’s not only a gift to our adversaries, but trying to shut down the Agency for International Development by executive order is plain illegal.” With court challenges already in motion, Democrats are strategizing to block Trump’s State Department nominees until the USAID shutdown is reversed. However, their position has been weakened after last November’s elections left them in the minority in both the House and Senate, limiting their ability to counter the administration’s moves. The announcement of USAID’s closure came while Rubio was on an official trip to Central America. Speaking to reporters in San Salvador, Rubio claimed he was now acting administrator of the agency but had delegated his authority to Peter Marocco. A political appointee with a controversial past at USAID during Trump’s first administration, Marocco faced staff protests over his push for program cuts and internal investigations that, according to ambassadors and senior officials, significantly hampered the agency’s operations.

What was your most memorable ?
I was posted to London, needed a cheap car to get around and bought a £300 LHD Opel Kadett off the side of the road. Did many thousands of miles in it for about 5 years with only repairs being £150 of sill welding to get it through an MOT. Didn’t care about bumps and scratches, eventually passed it to a mate who ran it for a couple of years more. Most memorable deep toned horn, I loved it.
