  1. Spirit is chknsht ........ pales in comparison to this ......
  2. ................as Kenny Rogers used to moan about, 'count ur winnings when the dealings done" ? “we more and more are not wanting to be the policemen of the world. We’re spending tremendous amounts of money for decades policing the world, and that shouldn’t be the priority.” / Trump As of 2025-2026 the U.S. nuclear arsenal includes 3700 warheads in the stockpile, which are divided into 1770 deployed warheads and over 1900 in reserve. An additional 1477 warheads are retired and awaiting dismantlement, bringing the total inventory to around 5000 warheads overall (active & retired) Additionally the US has a myriad of ways to launch and it goes without saying that it has layers of 3rd strike capability. Iran has no ICBM launch capability and the science and technology to develop it is about a decade away. I doubt that the squib that touched off 'Epic Fury' and "Midnight Hammer", was a humanitarian concern re: Iran's nuke capability? Recall that Iran's nuke capability was "obliterated in the June attack" / Trump. Trump was punked by the Jews ......... it was to be a short excursion....... now we have the 'fog of excursion'? Arguably Bibi's joy of the US involvement was only exceeded by Putin's on hearing of Trump's reelection. "no timeline for ending the war with Iran' / Trump
  3. ........... ur forget'n somebody ............ OMG, I find this absolutely hilarious
  4. ......... I tend to concur ......... the problem is that the cure (Trump) might be proving worse than the disease. (Biden)
  5. ............. hmmmmmm..... methinks facts interfere with ur systemic pattern of denial. 😄
  6. haha............. after the first drink no one GAF where the stuff is made ........... the cost matters. ........... timing was wrong (optics) ......... selling the bird no doubt was a gain politically.
  7. Banks vs. an Airline? Sounds like Left-wing ideology or ........................... government cronyism? Most Americans were grateful for the 'bank bailout" .............. ya think?? President George W. Bush signed the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 into law Oct 3, 2008.
  8. ....... just categorize it as a soliloquy. The world is a stage and we're all actors.
  9. Ford is akin to Trump but with brains, a degree of humility and competence.............. can't imagine Trump relinquishing the Qatar jet. ........... CUSMA approaches ........ it is going to get ugly.
  10. King has bragging rights as being the longest serving PM – his strength and ability as a leader was demonstrated in his leadership during times of National crisis. (Depression, WWII – National unity) Although he wouldn’t be my pick for GOAT (Cdn) he is deserving of great respect and worthy of a significant chapter in the Nation’s tome of leaders
  11. ........... incredibly disrespectful coming from POTUS. .............. tell it to them, Donald.
  12. There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact when it is tainted by political rhetoric? China has indeed reduced it reliance on imported oil – they see the Archilles heel it presents. The country has diversified its energy sources by investing in overland pipelines and further expanding its network of pipelines from Asia. This far-reaching strategy has made China far less vulnerable to maritime blockades and has allowed China to secure oil supplies from Russia. Russia is China’s largest supplier. China invested 625 billion in clean energy in 20024 – this accounts for a staggering 31 percent of global energy investment. Over half of the 625 billion invested targeted EV, batteries and solar industries – China is dominant in renewable technology research, science and manufacture. Chinese companies now hold 75 percent of global clean energy patents – China is the manifest leader in solar, wind, battery and EV technology. Why you and others pretend Trump is something he isn't is beyond ............ not just me, but the World.
  13. ........... turbine manufacturing in China.
  14. ............. yeah, trust has proven to be fleeting - more fool Canada........ the World? CUSME negotiations should be interesting next month.
  15. ....... has to be said, that the World shouldn't take seriously anything that Trump has to say........... the concern tho is that he is the leader of the free world and the keeper of the nuke codes.
  16. ............. many are relieved .......... beginning with the military. Tough duty attacking ground targets defended by unarmed civilians? Concur, Trump was punked by Bibi ...................... I don't blame Bibi.
  17. 'we will drill, baby, drill" / Trump - inauguration speech Jan, 20 Trump's burst of climate and energy EO's was quickly heaped with praise by fossil fuel industry groups and supporters who def see a brighter future under Trump for oil, gas, coal, and plastics. Trump's criticism of renewable energy has nothing to do with A.I. growth and it's supposed insatiable demand for energy. Trump's criticism is against green energy, period! The reason is green energy is and will increasingly be, in competition with big oil. Most people believe the US. is capable of walking and chewing gum at the same time. Experts (today) agree that the U.S. has the potential to sustain A.I. and EV demands, however the future will require strategic planning. Infrastructure modernization will be required to walk and chew gum at the same time. Might be moot tho, the U.S. is falling farther and farther behind, soon it might be too late to catch up. One thing Trump is NOT is a strategic thinker in terms of the future ........... but then again, Trump is an anachronistic, senile, 80 y/o. He doesn't care about the future because he won't be around - we should be grateful he's not on the bench (SCOTUS). In that case he'd be around forever ......... granted the next 2 1/2 years will seem like forever.
  18. .............. I'm sure Kanada will be the first to find, not Europe.
  19. ............. a popular refrain for a lot (all?) of the Presidents comments on Truth Social.
