Meanwhile in Russia: Russia seeks to militarize schoolchildren and censor textbooks amid war Russia: programme of ‘patriotic education’ aims to create next generation of Putin faithful IMO not unrelated or thread drift. Be it republicans or other authoritarian governments. Politicians are more and more willing to stick their noses into business that they have no business doing. Putin and republicans, both pandering to their bases. For Arizona spending money on qualified teachers is a waste of precious cash. More dumbing of America.

Well since Brent must be on a time out. Since conservative SC members don't study real business news.(Not to mean that Brent does). House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband cashed in on Big Tech just as Congress was set to pounce July 8, 2021 Alphabet stock’s big day could mean a windfall for Nancy Pelosi’s husband Feb 2, 2022 Nancy Pelosi's 'drink driver' husband Paul is blasted for buying $5m of shares in semiconductor firm days before congressional vote that could hand $52bn to chip manufacturers Jul 18th 2022

The urge to self investigate, cover up and lightly punish is strong. In all militaries. "Wahedullah was passed between troops from three different nations' militaries over the course of 10 hours". Here is a story on how a uninjured captive was passed from one NATO country to another. Until he was dead.

More than a thousand rape victims, under 15 alone, a year seek abortions in the US. "In 2017, the last year for which data was available, the institute concluded there were 4,460 pregnancies among girls under 15, with about 44 percent ending in abortion. In Ohio alone, 52 girls under 15 received an abortion in 2020 — an average of one every week, according to the state Department of Health."

Generac has the highest penetration in the consumer market for backup generators. They have recently started advertising backup battery power. IMO you're summation is correct.. Nuclear power is so politically hard to get approval for.

Probably just drunk as usual. Drunk Secret Service agents crash into White House barrier Biden Secret Service agents sent home after drunk assault report in South Korea The woman told police the US Secret Service Counter Assault Team member assaulted her when she told him he was drunk They probably didn't want to take trump to the capitol building because it would interfere with drinking in the WH basement.

Senator Joe Manchin III of West Virginia "who took more campaign cash from the oil and gas industry than any other senator, and who became a millionaire from his family coal business, independently blew up the Democratic Party’s legislative plans to fight climate change" So if the republicans get control of the senate and the house in a couple months. Any US action on the climate is over. Coal and oil buying whats necessary to get what they need.

The UK defense minister has promised "no investigation". So the realpolitik is alive and well in the UK.

So are you thinking of becoming a republican? Putting a "fuel surcharge" on jumps and pocketing the fuel savings as republican type DZ owners are aft to do.

A Biden day v a trump/dump day Here’s Everything We Know About the Bikes Joe and Jill Biden Were Riding Donald Trump thinks exercise will kill you trump, about 50lbs overweight. Biden appropriate weight. trump fueled by Big Macs, Egg McMuffins, Biden"s Italian salad, tuna salad, club sandwich. trump recently “You always have to talk about health. You look like you’re in good health, but tomorrow, you get a letter from a doctor saying, ‘Come see me again,’” he told The Post. “That’s not good when they use the word ‘again.’” Donald Trump's 2019 Walter Reed Trip Was For Colonoscopy At the time, the White House said Trump was at Walter Reed only for "a quick exam and labs" in order to get started on his annual physical, with Grisham herself dismissing what she called "conspiracy theories" about the hospital trip. A year later, however, New York Times reporter Michael Schmidt's book Donald Trump v. The United States reported that Trump's visit to Walter Reed came with serious implications: "In the hours leading up to Trump's trip to the hospital, word went out in the West Wing for the vice president to be on standby to take over the powers of the presidency temporarily if Trump had to undergo a procedure that would have required him to be anesthetized." As Grisham writes in her book now, Trump opted not to go under anesthesia for the procedure, because he did not want Pence to take over the country, if only briefly. (Chamlee, 10/7) My money would be on the cyclist over the Big Mac.

Price of oil falling like a rock. Interest rates climbing to tackle inflation. Buyers walking away from new home purchases. All to cut inflation Back on track.

Bloomberg intelligence is reporting that they think there is a 60% likelihood of twitter winning a trial. The most probable outcome is settlement with a agreement about $8 billion.

Nope. Everyone knows that the lives of unborn are worth several other lives. After birth lock-em-up with their degenerate mothers.Conservative GOP 101 thinking.

Well thats prima facie of mental deficiency. Just like this republican president this year.

With gas prices at $5 a gallon, Biden tells oil companies to cut costs for Americans Biden blasts oil refiners for record profits on pain at the pump Tucker Carlson: The price of US gas now qualifies as a catastrophe in which he blames Biden just like Brent will do shortly. So FOX defends big oil price gouging and the GOP blames the president. All just pandering to the base while the consumer is F*#ked. It plays well in midterms to blame gas prices on Biden. probably his age.

California’s economy grew 7.8% in 2021, vs. 5.7% growth in US California’s top economic rivals Florida was up 6.9% (No. 5) while Texas grew 5.6% So less people are producing more. Must mean unproductive republicans are moving out so they can shoot guns and draw benefits.

FIFY and Ron ain't the only one. 40.7% of Americans have a favorable view of trump right now. Which is two percent higher than President Biden. Perhaps America should change its slogan from Home of the Free Because of the Brave. To "home of the indifferent and land where facts don't mean squat".

Mostly true. The polls indicate that he'd win but "Easily"??. I'd say that he might have a hard time winning from a prison cell. But I've adopted Joe's position that US justice is woefully lacking. So that will never happen. Besides there are so many Americans that still have not learned their lessons about trumpism. Imagine the payback if trump was re-elected. All the enemies he could and would target.The US Extreme Court in his back pocket. He has cleaned out the entire republican party of no-men. Only Liz Cheney remains, for now.

Over forty years now of the same policy of inaction on a national immigration policy by both parties. The net result 11,000,000 unfilled jobs that more immigration would address. Simultaneously acting to lower wage inflation.

The US seems to set new standards every day for wack-job republicans and the ideas they come up with. "Politicians have to run on some kind of platform, and Ben Moss—my incoming state House representative here in North Carolina's District 52—decided that his animating principle is Being Mad at Electricity. To prove his animosity toward this invisible menace, he's sponsoring House Bill 1049, which would allocate $50,000 to destroy free public car chargers. It contains some other enlightened ideas, but that's the main theme: We've simply got to do something about these free public chargers, even if it costs us $50,000! Those things cost tens of cents per hour, when they're being used." The law doesn't apply if free gas and diesel is next to the free charging station. This law was endorsed by Brent.

Unfair. Many leaders aren't truly inspirational. Agree. It almost seems as if the private WH chef and Washington life have captured him. He is MIA. Thankfully the republicans don't have a actively campaigning national leader.

So a person who values,respects congress, the house and the presidency. Is forced to lead with both hands tied behind his back. A majority of none because some of his members have dual loyalties. An opposition that swears zero compromise from day one. Who is prepared to pander, lie and obstruct by any means. A person who faces an extreme court who strikes down what they swore to uphold. Cuts the legs off from upright policy and law. One who did a decent job turning around lies and disinformation about a once in a lifetime pandemic. One who got the country out of a war that couldn't be won. Then reunited and rejoined a world coalition to face down Russian aggression. Is "blowing" it? Perhaps if his base spent less time moaning and complaining. Instead spent more time organizing the vote. Organizing the apathetic and disillusioned into action. Those who wish America would become a religious autocracy. With a court of willing apostles chosen to destroy liberalism. Would become defeated outcasts as they deserve.

Thats the reason he is a billionaire and we are all still working. Well Joe isn't working but I digress. Agreed purchase price $54.20 a share or $44 billion. Market cap today is $28 billion or $36.81 a share.

Where people wait politely for days in line for their turn at all of life's essentials. "Sri Lanka, with 70.2% of the population identifying as Buddhist. Of the remaining Sri Lankan population, 12.6% identify as Hindu, 9.7% identify as Muslim and 6.1% identify as Christian." Perhaps its because there are so few christians with AR-15s running around.

He may be right this time though. Doesn't god have to punish Evangelical Americans now for their deal with Lucifer re: trump/GOP/SC? Drought, heat and "biblical" swarms of "Mormon crickets", grasshoppers are sweeping the west.
