    There's a channel on YouTube, Wings of Pegasus, where a guy uses computer software to look for post-production correction. It's become so industry standard, even people who have great voices get tweaked (Kelley Clarkson for example). Regardless... The Ringo special was filmed over a couple of nights in January and was done (on his part) to promote his new album. I do get a bit tickled when watching Ringo sing on stage. He's so used to keeping time behind a drumkit, he's bouncing in rhythm as he sings.

    To answer your question, the "files" weren't released yet, per se. The EO was signed to declassify the JFK and MLK files. That being said, almost all JFK files have already been released and are publicly available online, some in the 90s and the rest in 2017 and 2018 (per the 1992 order). Further, the files are 50 years old now which is a default declassification date for most classified documents. I guess the EO is focused on any remaining redacted sections that have been "in review" since 2017 or so by Agencies. Again, the files have been available for many years. I doubt any remaining redacted stuff will be game changing, but I guess we'll see. There are still folks who think JFK Jr is returning and that we never landed on the moon so my confidence that we can handle information intelligently is low.

    Maybe he assumed they were too incompetent to ever figure it out no matter how obvious it was.

Muto held separate talks with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick in Washington, two days before Trump's 25 percent tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports are due to take effect.

    Some more [image: 1741654933599-img_1480.jpg] [image: 1741654948377-img_1482.jpg] Consul General of Papua New Guinea. It is located as part of a company office. They were quite nice in there to me. Gave me all kinds of tourism information on the country. [image: 1741655009756-img_1484.jpg] Building where the Consul General is located. [image: 1741655046681-img_1485.jpg] [image: 1741655058203-img_1486.jpg] Embassy of India. Doing a lot of road construction on the road in front of the embassy. [image: 1741655090922-img_1492.jpg] [image: 1741655100291-img_1491.jpg] [image: 1741655108631-img_1489.jpg] Embassy of Sri Lanka. Also quite nice to me. Met a Sri Lanka guy there who was working in Thailand who needed to talk to the embassy. He liked to talk and told me a lot about the country. LOL [image: 1741655169577-img_1493.jpg] Building where Sri Lanka embassy is located. Also in the same building is Embassy of Israel. But there was ALOT of security for there, and I was kind of afraid to make up story to try to get to the Israel embassy. So, I kind of chicken out to go there. 555

    When I was a Reservist there was a meathead (military police) Master Warrant Officer who would drop by our section for coffee and routine gossip with our senior NCO’s. His civi street job, if you want call it that, was a prison guard at the maximum security prison block northwest of the city. He had zero sympathy for the inmates and maintained each and every last one would sooner slit one another’s throat than give them the time of day. He also said they loved to live in their filth out of choice. He also figured the gorilla cage at the Calgary Zoo was more a 1000 times more civilized than even the medium security bloc in the same institution he worked. He loved doing Reservist work because it offered a catharsis from his day job.

    As for him, let him apply to enter legally (an option since voluntarily self deported). May his wait be short.

    @Horace said in Pick fights with allies, signal weakness to adversaries: Just indefensible to appoint that guy to anything. I read that this was actually Rubio's appointment. https://x.com/kfile/status/1899074764775231899?s=46
