"It also comes after Beijing expressed anger at a remarks by Japan's Prime Minister, Sanae Takaichi, who said her country could respond militarily if China were to move to take control of Taiwan by force.

"This exercise serves as a serious warning to Taiwan independence' separatist forces and external interfering forces, and is a legitimate and necessary action to safeguard national sovereignty and maintain national unity," Shi said.

China's Communist Party claims self-ruled and democratic Taiwan as part of its sovereign territory, despite never having controlled it."

This is all just proof that Trump is for the workin' man!

- It's the guy making $185K per year.

Yes, but Mad Mises launders his money through German sausage futures.

So, Major B... are you happy about the Fact that many millionaires and billionaires pay less percentage of taxes on their income than you do?

Here's Trump talking more about his Putin Love and Russia, Russia, Russia, and the 'Rigged Election' after the Meeting than about the Meeting.

It's sickening, and an embarrassment to sane people everywhere; Zelenskyy looks like he want to throw-up.

Pretty much.

That whole side of the family was nuts. His little bro, my Dad, lied about his age at 16 to get into the Air Force because he was afraid he would miss all the fighting in WWII.

He missed the fighting anyway; he trained as a Navigator and served in the Berlin Airlift flying the Douglas C-47 Skytrain (DC-3) and the larger, four-engine C-54 Skymaster.

I may be old-ish... but not THAT old.

Corky was my Dad's nickname. Because he was cool enough to have a nickname, lol.

His Brother's name was LC for Loyal Columbus. Anyone that wanted to keep their teeth called him, 'Bud'. I last saw him in his 80's, and he was still one big, mean Injun-looking mf'er.

But he loved his racing pigeons. I went to his house near Dallas one day, and when I pulled up there were Police cars there, and cops standing around by the pigeon coops and the cyclone fence that surrounded them.

They were talking and laughing near a gap under the fence that was bent upwards, so I asked what was going on. They told me that my Uncle Bud, who was in his 40's at the time, had caught 3 good-sized men trying to steal some of his prize racers.

I was looking at the bottom of the fence where there was about a foot of gap now, and they said that's where the last of them tried to crawl under the fence to get away from him.

He was quite the character.

The mean right uppercut comes after the left jab... just ax' JeffyBelle.

After he got away with ... "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters,"... anything became possible for his bass-mouthed Base to swallow.

"Trans are the Biggest Threat to America, followed closely by Immigrants and Women."

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you are always afraid
Step out of line, Trump will come and take your brains away!

- Typical Dorky Corky.

Um, not my thread and I hadn't posted. Also, living in the slum that is your head sucks.

All that tacky, gaudy gold imagery of Trump is disgusting!

What would zero immigration do to the US economy?

"Zero immigration would significantly harm the U.S. economy by shrinking the labor force, slowing GDP growth, worsening labor shortages, increasing costs for businesses and consumers, and accelerating an aging population, leading to lower productivity, reduced innovation, and potential wage-price spirals as fewer workers fill essential jobs in sectors from construction to healthcare."

Normalizing Trump is hard werk.

yeah... That's why they call them Opinion Pieces.

Trumpers are more 'easily excitable' than most Dem voters... they are going to have to be pretty worn out not to turn out.

"Moscow tested a conventionally armed Oreshnik " Russian for Hazel tree - against a target in Ukraine in November 2024. Putin boasts that it's impossible to intercept because of velocities reportedly exceeding Mach 10.

Putin plans to deploy the weapon "in Belarus to extend its range further into Europe," said John Foreman, an expert with the Chatham House who served as a British defense attache in Moscow and Kyiv.

Foreman said he also sees such a move as a reaction to the planned stationing in Germany next year by the U.S. of conventional missiles that include the intermediate-range hypersonic Dark Eagle.

The Oreshnik's deployment would come with only weeks left before the expiration of 2010 New START pact, the last U.S.-Russia treaty limiting deployments of strategic nuclear weapons by the world's biggest nuclear powers."

Sounds like it has more to do with velocity than range?

Quicker the better is what Mrs BJ always says!

Glad you read it!

In the 1980's a group of German music students in Univ there collected the formerly Banned original musical works of Jewish composers, many of them popular Broadway hits in NY, and are still playing them today.

"Russian President Vladimir Putin has made clear his intention to place intermediate-range Oreshnik missiles, with an estimated range of up to 3,400 miles (5,500 km), in Belarus, but the exact location has not been previously reported.

Deployment of the Oreshnik would underscore the Kremlin's growing reliance on the threat of nuclear weapons as it seeks to deter NATO members from supplying Kyiv with weapons that can strike deep inside Russia, some experts said."

Very optimistic, the idea that there will be a Pres Election in '28, but hey, I'll play along.
