Georgians recently elected a very pro-Moscow political party. Belarus could revolt but doesn't. During Soviet rule, we had the example of the Hungarians whose little revolt was crushed quickly. They then fell back in line to Russian rule.

I'm confused, which bias is this story trying to exhibit?

  1. What an amazing man, to subject himself to measles due out of his heroic care; or

  2. What a dumb man to travel after having been near people with measles.

I mean, Chinese companies having loads of unsold inventory that they are trying to sell to locals at a deep loss does seem to be part of the tariff story.

I believe it is because the activity burns everything, including molecules that build up to eventually cause cognitive diseases.

Then what? Then you get the 1950's - 1980's in eastern Europe all over again, including an obvious level of stagnation when compared to those on the other side of the iron curtain.

I know this is going to be unpopular here but I will 100% tell you that there's a lot of people now voting for the GOP because they are upset about pronoun politics. My dad has voted Democrat every election his entire life because he is in a Labor Union. This time him and most of his union buddies voted Trump. My neighbor is hispanic and employs a lot of hispanic contractors. Most of them voted with the GOP because they are upset about how the schools are presenting pronoun policy. There's a lot of this out there. They can agree with the Democrat party in terms of healthcare, taxation, foreign policy, and a whole lot of other things but this one issue really drives at the core of what they think it means to be a human person ... and they don't like it.

I could be wrong but my impression was that this is how it already is for goods containing rare earths. That they are already manufactured largely in China and China exports them and that there's no ban on finished products containing rare earths.

I'm pro-Europe but I also recognize that Europe is very dependent on the US for military technology and weapons. France is the only country that is resistant to the possibility of the US just turning everything off. European nations would do fine vs. Russia with American technology and weapons. I suspect that Russia could reconquer to Berlin if Europe was depraved of American military technology and weapons. Maybe I'm wrong, though.

And yet, here we are, with these nations joining the US in statements like this-- https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10457869

 

The Trump administration lifted its suspension of military aid and intelligence sharing for Ukraine, and Kyiv signaled that it was open to a 30-day ceasefire in the war with Russia, pending Moscow’s agreement, American and Ukrainian officials said Tuesday following talks in Saudi Arabia.

 

The unbelievable footage, posted on Telegram, shows two Ukrainian soldiers amidst ruins in the east of the country carrying a beehive together.

The pair grab the wooden box filled with the insects and lug it towards the bunker, with the drone footage capturing the moment they chuck down the hole.

 

Wyandotte County is home of Kansas City, KS (part of the Kansas City metro area). The local community college put out this information. Both pages can be found here.

 

Just a few weeks earlier, investigators say, the same man attacked the same dealership by throwing molotov cocktails at Tesla vehicles and through the store window. He caused an estimated $500,000 in damage, according to court documents.

The New Popular Front alliance looked like the best hope the left had against Macron and Le Pen. But after months of internal conflicts, it’s on the brink of collapse.

 

U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is planning to revoke temporary legal status for some 240,000 Ukrainians who fled the conflict with Russia, a senior Trump official and three sources familiar with the matter said, potentially putting them on a fast-track to deportation.

The move, expected as soon as April, would be a stunning reversal of the welcome Ukrainians received under President Joe Biden's administration.

 
 

"...the bases may stay in exchange for diplomatic backing and financial compensation from Russia..."

 

The abuse of power, the lack of respect for our institutions, the rule by edict ... can those of us opposed to these create coherent rebuttals in the form of constitutional amendments that will address our time of crisis? What will these amendments say?

 

“Our farmers simply cannot afford the uncertainty of a potential trade war. Farm income has declined for a second straight year,” Brian Duncan, Illinois Farm Bureau president, said in a statement last week. “Uncertainty surrounding tariffs and the potential for retaliation makes it difficult to plan for the future.”

Zippy Duvall, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation in Washington, D.C., said earlier this month: “Tariffs and tariff retaliation often hit farmers and ranchers hard, which make it more difficult for them to pay their bills and grow the food America’s families rely on.”

 

Now, with Russian talks on the way, unverified and sourceless rumors spread on social media that the president was planning to withdraw from NATO.
