Misdemeanor Assault Charges? FFS.

@kluurs I agree, it is amazing. I grew up poor, but one thing I remember my parents always telling me was to learn to live on 80% of what you make. Save at least 20%.

Made in China?

I think the world could use a bit more Ronald Reagan right now. Good post and link, Copper

It is a good idea. We need to up production as well and start shipping gas to Europe. No idea what infrastructure would be required, but if we could turn off their money spigot that would be serious pressure.

Upside is they get to keep their trucks and bank accounts.

That's great.

Maybe that's why China violated Taiwan's air space nine times yesterday.

I just got an email saying that my "budget" amount for my next bill is about 18% higher. Here's my usage for the last two years.

Cuba has been working on a protein based vaccine, which has been shown to be actually pretty good. (Of course, it has not gone through the same "peer review" and data analyses at others.)

(I am Spending too much time on this. 55555) Seems like he is eating about one can a day. I did a quick look and it appears that one can is about USD $25. More expensive than I thought for one day.

I just love watching your heads explode.., lol Neither one of you have figured it out yet - you think it's the democrat party of 1950 you're in..... Get ready..... if there's a country still here after 2 more years of the dumbass you democrats installed, I'll get to watch you have a 4 year long Trump seizure....

Pffftttt … didn’t even bother to photoshop a white flag atop the tower.

@Renauda said in Ukraine poll: Sounds crazy, but those old communists in Beijing have an Achilles heel called the sovereignty of states. China recognises Ukraine’s sovereignty, work on it. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/02/24/ukraine-china-russia-invasion-reaction/ That article suggests that China is “surprised” that the invasion actually happened, and that China is denying that it “supports” the invasion. China did not tell its citizens to leave Ukraine ahead of time. It mentions that there are around 6000 holders of China’s passports stuck in Ukraine. And of course, the CCP concocted a bunch of rhetorics blaming the USA.

@George-K said in Now CNN says Romney was right: @Jolly said in Now CNN says Romney was right: Gonna be hard to sanction Russia, when they are one of our major suppliers of oil. Either number one or two, IIRC... https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/pet_move_impcus_a2_nus_ep00_im0_mbbl_a.htm These data are only up to 2020. Perhaps @Renauda can comment. More here: https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/us-oil-imports-by-country The following ten countries are those that the U.S. imports the most oil from per day based on April 2020 numbers. Numbers are in thousands of barrels. Canada (4,088) Mexico (631) Saudi Arabia (431) Russia (408) Colombia (277) Ecuador (176) Iraq (140) South Korea (133) Brazil (104) The Netherlands (93) Maybe this is what I remembered... https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-08-04/russia-captures-no-2-rank-among-foreign-oil-suppliers-to-u-s

VAERS is a mess, but we need some accurate data. Maybe Joe needs to crack the whip. If the VP will let him borrow hers.
