Absolute nonsense. He doesn't need support, other than after the fact. He is an 0 for 30 year zero when it comes to foreign affairs. Wasn't ever taken seriously by Obama.

Who is responsible for sponsored attacks on the US and its servicemen? What has been done to end those attacks? What has happened to sanctions against that country, and what have been the results? Does that even matter, or is it pure ignorance of the long term results? Keep shooting $1.5 million missiles against $5k drones and more expensive, but still cheap, anti ship missiles. Keep paying the price for international commerce to go 3000 miles in addition because of threats from a surrogate trash heap. Two or three hit this week. That's what we have been seeing for the past six weeks, and that's the result of appeasement.

Couldn't agree more. A fresh start with an accomplished governor and UN ambassador who really knows the uselessness of that org is what we need, and her accounting background is another huge plus. But.....We have this primary system. Ya.

Huh what?

She is far smarter on foreign policy than Trump. Actually, she is far smarter than Trump, but that's a different subject. Trump creates enemies and animosity without reason. His NATO nonsense is a perfect example. He is completely correct regarding funding, but his presentation to achieve that goal is punkish. His treatment of those that oppose him is juvenile, unnecessarily insulting, and an embarrassment. His ability to maintain staff is horrible. He is vengeful for no reason. He is grossly arrogant with no background to substantiate it. His claims of personal achievement are idiotic. He is rude and has a horrible vocabulary. Haley is smarter, a better leader and more accomplished. She fully understands, from a first person view, the failure of the Biden appeasement realm. Two really old guys. One is intellectually dysfunctional, the other an undeniable jerk. They should take their personal battle outside. An easy, inarguable choice in my view. Late addition. She also doesn't take office with an axe to grind at DOJ, FBI, and probably CIA. We don't need that and it is counterproductive. Biden doesn't even know what those acronyms are, nor who is dead or alive, so he's eliminated from discussion

A good deal of "Catholic Doctrine" is non Biblical. Papal bulls is a good place to start.

I will allow one synapse the opportunity to worry about this nonsense when I hear one person ever mention such a thought. One can find any manner of internet lunatic videos. I never have heard any such talk, and I have been a Christian since Baptism and student of the Bible for well over a decade. Anyone who ever suggested some kind of takeover would be labeled a lunatic in my circle.

Houthis expanding attempts to disrupt commerce. The Houthis tried to ambush an El Al airliner travelling from Thailand to Israel. The Houthis got on an enroute air traffic control VHF frequency, pretending to be ATC, and directed the El Al flight to turn in a direction that would take them into airspace where they have some capability to attack the passenger flight. Fortunately, the El AL cockpit crew didn't trust the transmissions, and reverted to data link, (non voice) only com with ATC. That would have been an absolute disaster with far reaching ramifications.,

I've been doing this for forty years, so I'm comfortable with my decisions. Either way, I sure as hell aren't going to listen to you. No offense.

And timid to admit it, as timing is nearly impossible, but I just moved everything that was equity based into fixed income.

If that is true, it is the most wasteful payment in history. He is totally wasting his time. It's like a seven year old telling you what ETF to invest in. A comical waste.

The bigger issue is NATO itself. It was militarily dysfunctional, relying completely on the US for any real capability. Hopefully, with the Germans come to Jesus moment as the Russians invaded Ukraine and they realized they were totally dependent on Russia for energy, as well as being completely depleted militarily, things will get better.

I can't believe this woman said that. I hope it was challenged. The claim that "they are endowed y their Creator with certain unalienable rights" is a cornerstone of the entire Declaration, and foundational in the subsequent claim that governments derive their power from the people.

The Houthis have issued a "ban" on shipping from Israeli, US, or British flagged vessels in international waters near them. Not sure what offensive capability they have to enforce this "ban," but I sure wish the US and UK would respond with undeniable force. This has gone on long enough. Freedom of shipping has been a cornerstone of civilized commerce for centuries. It is time to act.

Also claimed that he knows what nuclear war would look like. Nobody knows that. Simply a crazy claim. I was certified to monitor loading them, carry them, and deliver them and I have absolutely no idea what a nuclear exchange would look like, nor does anyone I know with similar knowledge.

I'm not going to spend time going over the entire bill. There are amnesty issues and power granted to the executive, who is not fulfilling his current obligations on enforcement, that were deemed excessive. In addition while appropriating money for a wall, it did not commit to it. The 5000/day thing? Anyway, you can do your own homework on why it wouldn't get through the House. To say that they were asking for immigration reform and then "killed the bill," is a gross misrepresentation.

Not true. They prevented a bill that wasn't satisfactory.

We have a lot of hawks around here, daily patrolling our property. We always here the newborns in the spring in our woods. When I first retired I looked into falconry as a hobby. I have some property here and access to a lot more close by. I was shocked how complicated the process was. You have to go through an apprenticeship. Gave up that thought. I did get a commercial drone license though, and did many real estate photo things. Every time I fly the thing, the local hawks will come over and check it out. If they get too close, which they usually do, I just zoom climb the thing. I don't think they can figure that out, so they always back off enough for me to get things done.

Nobody cares about your stance, just as I doubt anybody cares about your self proclamation as "patriotic Americans." Illegal immigration is national suicide. Laws are passed and exist for a reason. Enforce them, abide by them or don't enact them.

Legally.

This may be as hard for you to understand as it was for Biden to accurately express who the leaders of Mexica and Egypt are, but the point is....... What I posted about Clinton lying under oath, nor Biden's grossly evident mental issues have nothing to do with Trump.

Ya the good old days. All we had was the guy who appoints the attorney general lying under oath. Now we have a guy who doesn't know who is dead or alive. Who he as met with or what was said. Lies about his Amtrack experiences over and over, his law school grades, his responsibilities as a "college professor," his supposed appointment to the Naval Academy, his arrest participating in the civil rights movement, his driving of a tractor trailer, his claim that there was no legal way to allow Afghan collaborators, (translators), into the US, the fact that classified documents in his possession were locked, that he didn't share classified information with his ghostwriter, and we won't go into plagiarism. But it's all OK because he's too diminished to remember anything.

The charge was lying under oath to a federal grand jury. Kind of a serious, intentional lie, you know, under oath.

Any impeachment process using enhanced interrogation as a focus would have been squashed the second that Congressional Intel oversight Committees figured out that if was attempted, records of their complicity would have exposed. They were briefed, though some denied it. In fact, she, Nancy Pelosi, used the same excuse Biden did. "It wasn't me. I didn't know. It was my staff."

It's easy to state opinions about the CIA and other clandestine organizations because they're not going to respond. With total certitude, my view is that the CIA has "rules," and there is Congressional oversight. Sometimes it's more robust, but that's the system in place.
