Isn’t that slick Willy’s “Triangulation”?
Which leads me to realize that all these little tricks and triggers must be developed by sinister little commie bastards in basements somewhere - little Sol Alinskys, Bill Ayers and other such “intellectuals” who devise this sordid freedom-killing stuff.
and all these military age males are not coming here to pick fruit or potatoes!
My apologies to Rodguy who mentioned “triangulation” before me - the ever-correct “old man of the sea” always on top of everything except maybe Moby Bluefin.
President Raisi’s helicopter going down in a “hard landing” instead of a “crash”. Reminds me of Kobe Bryant’s helicopter ‘not clearing a hill in heavy fog” in a tragic smash-up which included his young daughter. Either way it is not good. “We” including Israel do not take out heads of states (now Zelensky’s status ends this week because Mr. Z canceled elections to get renewed. Russia considers him a man without status.

Not much.
“We” have taken out heads of state, including our own.

“She said: “Why should the rest of the world believe this leadership is going to continue beyond the next two or three years?”
In response, Mr Kerry said: “For the very simple reason that the marketplace is going there, whether the government does or not. This is going to be a global revolution.”
Mr. Kerry, false. To date the marketplace is not going “Green”.
thats for sure and worries me big time.
We actually have a run of bluefin tunas giants 500-800 lbs. one of the captains released two in the 500-600 lb.class. The spawning run to the Gulf of mexico is on and they return in a few weeks to Bimini in the Bahamas and then back to Canada.
Never ends down here!!
We are dealing with world class criminals who think nothing of killing a million people. They are beyond ruthless.
It appears most dems are well paid and follow orders likely not knowing what is happening.

“ CEO Elon Musk had previously announced in an April memo that the company would cut more than 10 percent of its global workforce, which stood at 140,473 employees at the end of 2023. Prior filings revealed that Tesla would cut over 6,300 jobs across California, Austin, Texas, and Buffalo, New York.”
“Tesla's decision to reduce its workforce comes amidst a backdrop of reduced demand for its older Model S and X vehicles, as well as the Model 3 sedan. The company reported its steepest year-over-year revenue decline since 2012 in the first quarter, with total deliveries dropping compared to the previous year.”

“ In 2021, Ford announced its goal to sell only EVs in Europe by the end of 2030. That was ambitious compared to the European Union's own goal of allowing only EVs to be sold after 2035.”
“Ford appears to be walking that pledge back and is now admitting it will continue to sell vehicles with internal combustion engines after 2030 if there is demand. According to Automotive News, Martin Sander, head of Ford's passenger car business in Europe, said, “If we see strong demand — for instance, for plug-in hybrid vehicles — we will offer them.”
“ A source told Bloomberg that Ford is losing more than $100,000 per EV during the first quarter, which is more than double the loss from the prior year. That's a hefty price to pay just to sell EVs into a tough and competitive market right now.”
“ Ford has also adjusted plans for its EV battery factory in Marshall, Michigan, and it will now be much smaller than originally thought. It has also reduced spending on EVs, delayed new EVs, cut prices, and other moves, for about $12 billion in savings.”
“ That $5.5 billion in losses is reason enough to slow down its approach to EVs and rely on its traditional business and its surging commercial business, Ford Pro, until the time is right to pump resources into the future of EVs. And this should all be welcome news for investors.”
“ Nov 14 (Reuters) - Every time Lucid Group Inc (LCID.O), opens new tab or Rivian Automotive Inc (RIVN.O), opens new tab sells an electric car, they are losing hundreds of thousands of dollars due to staggering raw material and production costs, their latest earnings statements showed.”
“ The company, which went public a little over a year ago and is backed by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, saw its market value shrivel by two-thirds this year to about $20 billion from $95 billion at its peak in November 2021.”
As usual, Mr Kerry is either lying or misinformed.
Marco handled it with far more cool than I would have. When did journalism schools go from teaching the five "W's" to making attack dogs trained to take one side?
