very little of value to protect now anyway...who would attack them, and for what?

The media claimed a 6-year-old girl died of measles, but “she did not die of measles by any stretch of the imagination,” Dr. Pierre Kory says.“In fact, she died of pneumonia. But it gets worse than that because she didn’t really die of pneumonia. She died of a MEDICAL ERROR.”Let that sink in.What happened was a complete breakdown in basic medical care. The hospital failed to give her the appropriate antibiotic regimen to treat her pneumonia. By the time they corrected their mistake, it was too late, and the girl died “catastrophically.”
 

Is Turkish President Erdogan Now Sultan​

"He has championed and led what amounts to an Islamic revolution within Turkey. He talks regularly about freeing Jerusalem from the “Crusaders”. He provides a safe haven to Hamas. He has worked hard to expand Turkey’s influence in other nations in the Middle East once ruled by the Ottomans. Even now his troops are effectively annexing a large chunk of Syria. If he had his way, he would go far beyond that"
High time Israel fights and funds its own wars
 

but,if you read work by the current wokish anthropologists or historians,they deny any proof that the Aztecs were cannibals. what BS. their ag production was always minimal & were having probs there when Cortez showed up. cut hearts out thousands at a time,dumped the bodies downstairs to the masses and not eaten? BS. Aztec army's mission was capturing victims for sacrifice. why did Cortez have such an easy time getting allies? imagine being even a nominal Catholic Spaniard and seeing that. even saw some of their buds sacrificed after capture. pol correct narrative is most questionable. no the conquistadors were vicious and cruel but not much dif from the Aztecs.
 

not much better here and not getting better. when i worked ER,even 40yr ago,we freq got stuff dumped on us. i can't imagine what when on during covid. go to DR with a fever-1) get sent to ER 2) go home til it gets bad enough to call EMS-then people were really fucked and freq killed in a variety of ways. no wonder ERs have been overwhelmed for decades. around here GP appt 2 weeks to 3 mos,specialist 4-8+ weeks,or,again go to the ER. these are not times unique to me. hear it from many others.

We should pay them for a training course.
I would prefer that Congress issue letters of Marque and Reprisal, authorizing old civilian marksmen like some of us on this esteemed forum, to dispatch them with extreme prejudice whenever they cross the US border.

You guys will have to get in line behind me. My hand was up first!

Well, roll back the clock two years. I don't recall any "committments" even being made.
I'm not saying it's a bad thing, just that the money hasn't been invested yet, and many stand in line to commit but don't always fully come through.

The below was AI generated, but there were commitments ... these were just some plant investments.


In the past two years, several major foreign companies have announced or made significant investments in new plants in the U.S., particularly in the EV, battery, semiconductor, and manufacturing sectors. Here are some of the biggest:

1. EV & Battery Manufacturing

  • Hyundai Motor Group (South Korea)$5.54 billion for an EV and battery plant in Black Creek, GA.
  • LG Energy Solution (South Korea)$5.5 billion for a battery plant in Arizona.
  • Toyota (Japan)$3.4 billion for battery production in North Carolina.
  • Honda & LG Energy Solution (Japan/South Korea)$4.4 billion for a battery plant in Ohio.
  • Panasonic (Japan)$4 billion for an EV battery plant in Kansas and $4 billion+ for another in Oklahoma.
  • Samsung SDI & Stellantis (South Korea/Netherlands)$3.2 billion for a battery plant in Indiana.

2. Semiconductor & Tech Manufacturing

  • TSMC (Taiwan)$40 billion for two semiconductor plants in Arizona (largest foreign direct investment in U.S. history for semiconductors).
  • Samsung (South Korea)$17 billion for a semiconductor fab in Texas.
  • SK Hynix (South Korea)$15 billion for chip packaging and R&D facilities in the U.S. (exact locations TBD).
  • Infineon (Germany)$700 million for a semiconductor plant in Texas.

3. Other Manufacturing & Industrial Investments

  • BMW (Germany)$1.7 billion for EV and battery production in South Carolina.
  • Volkswagen (Germany)$2 billion for EV production in Tennessee.
  • Daimler Truck (Germany)$650 million for battery production and truck assembly in North Carolina.
These investments are part of a broader trend of reshoring and nearshoring due to incentives like the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the CHIPS Act, which encourage domestic production of critical technologies.

That’s a whole lot of EV bullshit. Green Deal is dead.
