We agree, a lot of egos bouncing off the walls of Reform. Making a team out of the presently available members would take the patience of a number of saints.

If Jenrick does join Reform, can you imagine a party meeting, so many Alfa males, should be sporting.

Not much conversation about the French Departments, British Overseas Territories and Dutch Islands in the Caribbean. Does DJT feel that under Donroe, they should be parts of the USA? Or do these territories lack economic attractions?

I feel that this episode will be seen as the Suez of the American empire.

No wonder he has problems with his hand, all those signatures he has had to do.

As I recall, in one of these reported events, two survivors were taken into custody, not detained as Prisoners of War but returned to their country of origin. Why have two different standards?

What difference is there between this 'proposal' and Russian talking points?

As an English man, I am failing to understand why if Jim Comey is being brought to task for misleading a congressional committee.
Why are the likes of JFK junior and a number of the Supreme Court Justices not being prosecuted for the same 'felonies'?

To be realistic, if I was Chinese, I would be looking for a new supplier if I knew that my supplier was giving away over 10% of the cost price and still making a good profit.

So buy a few consignments, reverse engineer them, yes difficult, not impossible. Two sets of Chips...

It would seem a waste of breath to ask why Mike Johnson did not as speaker of The House call out the Guard, thinking back to Jan 6. Trump, Nanci should have called out the Guard it is not for me to do.

I love the soft power projection of having Canadian Mounted Soldiers on Ceremonial duties in London.

Surprised in a way that the B2s were not deployed to North Field on Tinian, it would have been poetic.

As I understand it, there is a question as to whether a B2 with the large bomb will result in the desired outcome. There seems to be a general agreement that a nuclear bomb would give the hoped for result. So if Trump says no would Israel use one of its bombs to stop Iran getting one?

Enjoyed your talk at Charleston this afternoon. More project 2025.

So how does the US Treasury manage without the anticipated funding stream from these tariffs?

I assume that the Secretary of Defense will sign off the plane as suitable for the President.

It would be interesting to see the differences between this 747-800 and the two Boeing have spent years converting for task.

I do assume that this one has a make upstudio and a bar.

As Alina is an Acting US Attorney, I assume that she, sadly, is just continuing to be a thespian...

If you stockpile before the tariffs come in, you will need to sell those goods to pay the tariffs on the next ones, so a slow down in supply chains. Does this mean storage problems at ports?

Is there a view of what, if any, car is 100% made in the USA?

I do feel sorry for the customs agents, one day demanding lots of money from each truck, the next not, they must be a bit dazed and confused, as we all are.
March 7, 2025 at 8:01 PM
As I see it Trump is driving America into a recession, there was a lot of investment in the defence manufacturing infrastructure to feed the Ukrainians, now this is turned off, people laid off and the tariffs will increase domestic prices and reduce income to farmers.

How much does the military rely on NOAA forecasts?
