    @LuFins-Dad said in Positioning: @Jolly said in Positioning: I think Trump will come in at 15 weeks, but still support it being a state issue, not federal. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-calls-six-week-abortion-bans-terrible/ar-AA1gRacf And do you agree? Philosophically or politically? Philosophically and theologically, no. Politically, it's about the best he can do. Again, politics is the art of the possible. You can't accomplish much, if you can't get elected.

    I did too. He neglects to mention the oil boom in North Dakota and how much it boosted the economy.

    I like ants, but would only observe fire ants from a distance. LOL There is a very cool book I have on ants which is worth reading if you are interested. [image: 1695087555143-img_9848.jpg]

    >Former President Donald Trump will travel to the battleground state of Michigan next week to meet with striking autoworkers instead of participating in the second Republican presidential debate, a person familiar with his plans said Monday. https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-debate-strike-f79e9f0db53694206805d0bd3ae6683a

    @Mik I was thinking more about foreign leaders and officials. It has been 6 years since President Obama was president, and other countries have had a lot of turnover. President Biden calling a top foreign official at 2 am - yeah, they will be awaken and take the call. President Obama/Bush/Clinton, hmmm, he'll call you back tomorrow .

    Some reason, not able to access MSN articles, but I understand what it is saying. On a related note to that, the "disfunction" in the US congress that has prevented approval of diplomats had an impact on the US ability to respond and possibly have influence in preventing the recent coupe in Niger. My understanding is that the US has not been able to get a West Africa envoy or a ambassador for Niger into place and the positions have been vacant for a while. It left an opening for countries such as Russia and China to work with the military that took over the country. And Niger has a lot of unused natural resources.

    @Jolly said in Not Guilty: @Horace said in Not Guilty: So, what's the story? I know nothing of the trial, but I sniff entrapment. Not a bad synopsis... https://www.declassified.live/p/another-whitmer-fednapping-case-goes Thanks. That's egregious on the part of the FBI.

    @89th said in For those with little kids or grands: Looks great, but I cringe at any toy with more than 10 pieces these days. It's a constant battle. I'm of the "they'll play with a piece of cardboard" mindset and my wife is of the "there aren't enough toys in the world" mindset. I’m sure there’s an Amazon package waiting on my doorstep.

    The last three occupants of the mayors office all got the bug. It wouldn’t be surprising if he did too at some point.

    Take a knee, to avoid injury - gutless and suspicious Go for the TD - only 4 seconds left there would be no time for the field goal Go for the Field Goal, then maybe time for 1 play - onside kick - they could tie the game Was there any time left after the field goal?

    That's a good question...Do carriers have an armor belt? That steel is of a different composition from mild steel or even the common hardened steel.
