As China continues to give money and projects to countries to gain influence, we are shutting down our agencies that do that.

China is eating our lunch and Trump is the reason. Sorry folks, if you don’t see it you don’t understand how the world works. Period

Interesting that Austrian Airlines left X two weeks ago, saying “an increasing spread of hate, agitation, and disinformation is perceptible and this is not compatible with our values”.

Now the city council must vote to fire him.

It is despicable that the Covid vaccine manufacturers are going to charge more than $110/dose for the new XBB.1.5 boosters when available in mid-September.
The US government previously paid ~$25/dose, supplied free of charge, and subsidized these companies with untold $ billions.
