Maybe they'll give him a Sadat Memorial parade.

When your "spiritual advisors" are the likes of Paula White and Franklin Graham, what were you expecting?

Comments like this should automatically get you a warrant from The Hague.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with beans and rice except that it's poverty eating and doesn't cover a variety of dietary needs.
This "conservative" point of view that poverty is some sort of personal failing that needs to be further punished really puzzles me from a bunch that so piously preach christianity. Personally, I think Government is something that should help elevate people rather than further oppress them. It's actually more cost effective in the long run.

And, if they're barely surviving on beans and rice or handouts at the end of the month, that's on them. I am not, however, going to deny them a splurge when some special occasion comes up like an anniversary, birthday, ...what have you. If they have to cut corners elsewhere to make up for a kid's birthday cake, again, it's on them. All about that "personal responsibility" you "conservatives" like to preach about rather the nanny state impinging on your choices.

Considering their written language is considerably older than ours, it might be said you have that backwards.

It only has 8 operational aerial tankers.

Probably because they have no need.
Taiwan is close enough to not need them. They're not projecting power anywhere else. Their military doctrine doesn't require them.
Getting the Navy within missile range of the Chinese mainland won't go well.
Their subs are getting real good, too.

We're going to waste a couple of generations digging the country out of the rubble of the last few GOP administrations.
