Three-ways are tricky.

Oh Canada!

As the US doesn't allow foreign military bases on US soil, my assumption is that this will be a US training faciltiy such as the German Air Force at Holloman AFB or the Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training Program at Sheppard AFB. Foreign detachments often train at U.S. military facilities.

A very worthwhile read by Shlomo Ben Ami, a former Israeli foreign minister, current Vice President of the Toledo International Center for Peace and the author of "Prophets without Honor: The 2000 Camp David Summit and the End of the Two-State Solution."

There seems to be a general assumption that this agreement will hold. Given the players involved, I think that is an unjustifiably optimistic outlook. I hope I'm wrong.

Gershon Baskin, the architect of the negotiations that freed the Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit in 2011, revealed on Thursday that Hamas had agreed the exact same terms of the deal in September 2024, but that Biden officials had disregarded it while Netanyahu had refused point blank.

Perry said her decision came down to a "credibility determination," and she found the Department of Homeland Security's assessment of recent events in the Chicago area to be "unreliable."

Peru can do it.. Plagued by scandals, President Boluarte's administration’s inability to address Peru’s incessant crime proved to be her undoing. She partially blamed the situation on immigrants living in the country illegally. (Where have we heard this shit before?)

One of the people who urged Bessent to intervene on Milei’s behalf is Bessent’s old friend and former colleague Rob Citrone, a hedge-fund billionaire who bet big on Milei’s success and bought more Argentine assets just before Bessent’s announcement.

Did DOGE save us $2 trillion? “Not even close. .. Total spending excluding interest rose $220 billion, or 4%, for the entire fiscal year.” 🤡 @wsj.com www.wsj.com/economy/tari...

Putting aside the idiocy that the "HRC email server" thing was.. Comey is going to kill this case. "This does not appear to me to be an overly complicated case," Nachmanoff said. He also said he would "not slow this case down because the government does not promptly turn everything over." .

In Trump's America, you're an order of magnitude more likely to get attacked on the street by ICE and the National Guard than by any foreign gang member.

The populism is coming from the left.. The opposition has failed to offer a compelling alternative to Morena’s broad social spending policies, its anti-corruption narrative, and its “the poor come first” stance.

The Democratic Party, however, in search of a message that could help it recapture the House in the 2026 midterm elections, has remained relatively silent on the issue and has shown no signs of trying to capitalize on one of the current administration’s most unpopular policies.

They do not care. Their animus towards immigrants overshadows any economic impacts that ill occur.

Meanwhile in Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum & 400k supporters “Here, where history beats, we gather to commemorate together one year of the people’s government, because I do not walk alone, I do not govern alone. Ours is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people of Mexico.”

[T]he surge in AI investment — a tech boom the likes of which we haven’t seen since the 1990s — has buoyed the economy in the short run, offsetting the drag from Trump’s tariffs. Without the data center boom, we’d probably be in a recession.

China, led the clean energy charge while richer nations including the US and EU relied more on planet-warming fossil fuels for electricity generation. China remains way ahead in clean energy growth, adding more solar and wind capacity than the rest of the world combined.

The stream of social-media clips showing masked federal agents kicking down doors, raiding Home Depot parking lots, and pulling people from their car have kept up the appearance of an ever-expanding campaign. ICE’s own data show that the agency’s buildup stalled over the summer.

The most dangerous whiny little bitch in America The essence of post-liberalism is the rejection of the notion that some neutral standards of conduct apply to all parties. Miller, like Trump, appears to believe his side stands for what is right and good, and his opponents stand for what is evil.

Whales in captivity are an abomination. Marineland has threatened to euthanize 30 beluga whales if Canada’s federal government does not provide financial support for the embattled Niagara Falls amusement park. Twenty whales, 19 belugas and one orca, have died at the park since 2019.

Miller is an evil, lying, psychopath who for all intents and purposes appears to be running domestic ( and possibly foreign) policy.

"History shows that censorship grows if it is not resisted. Give up one book, and demands will multiply…That is why #BannedBooksWeek is not simply symbolic. It is a reminder that the freedom to read depends not just on vigilance, but action." @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social @uabookbans.bsky.social

Buckets was less than pleased at me disturbing her nap.

This is it for today...

Mama, she raised me on riddles and trances Fatback, channel cat, lily white lies Rocked my cradle in a jimmy crack fancy Never knew papa and I never asked why. Two versions of a great tune www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpF0...

From back when we gave a shit about being anti-war.. Heaven's rain falls upon Faces of the children who look skyward. Twisting metal through the air, Scars and screams So you might know his fury.

They know it in Spain.. why doesn't US Media? "Democrats can’t possibly want to restore federal health coverage to undocumented immigrants because they never had it in the first place. By law, residents who are in the country illegally cannot access federal benefits, including healthcare."

God help us but Gavin Newsom is the only Democrat who understands power. Democrats have Trump over a barrel. And the Democrats’ proposal is to . . . save Trump from the political costs of the shutdown by saving him from the political costs of his Big Beautiful Bill? AYFKM?

The evil that is the Trump administration cannot be overstated. projects.propublica.org/trump-food-c...

Only took 1400 years Sarah Mullally was named on Friday as the first female Archbishop of Canterbury in the 1,400-year history of the role, but her appointment immediately drew criticism from conservative Anglicans mainly based in Africa who oppose women bishops.

Teaching is TOUGH enough without the $$ When I lived in Savannah, the percentage of teachers who left teaching after their first year was on the order of 50%. My wife, who was recognized as the Spec. Ed. co-teacher of the year in her first year teaching, was one of them. Note: It wasn't the kids.

Lying POS.. On Squawk Box Thursday, Bessent recalled a purported exchange with a Chinese delegation, led by the country’s top economic official, in May: “When I asked him, ‘Why didn’t you continue buying soybeans and the other products?’ they had one word. Guess what it was. ‘Biden.’”

If only people studied history..

Here we go: A market for the rights to Trump-tariff REFUNDS — as investors are “making their bets that the US Supreme Court will eventually strike down” his “sweeping reciprocal tariffs.” @nikkei.com asia.nikkei.com/economy/trad...

One in four US physicians is foreign-trained. Many enter through the H-1B program, disproportionately staffing rural and underserved hospitals where American graduates rarely go. In some facilities, every single doctor is an immigrant.

Unfuckingbelievable, you voted for this, America.

Skinner created the “ICE List”, a website that lists the names and photos of the ICE agents whose identities he has supposedly discovered. The website features photos, with the officers’ first and last names, along with information such as their LinkedIn or FB profiles and how they were identified.

Another example of Trump being undone by his even more chaotic minions – RFK Jr. and vaccines , Peter Navarro and his “Liberation Day” tariffs, Bill Pulte’s use of private mortgage information and Brendan Carr’s own-goal from going after Jimmy Kimmel. I could go on, but I think the point is made.

She's correct but I suspect that the EU will act like the herd of turtles they so often are.

"False claims" is a start but it's a weak one. "Lies" would be a much better, stronger, word choice. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

By 2023, [Sowell and Homan] had gone into business together. Sowell was paying Homan as a consultant to his boutique firm, SE&M Solutions, which advised companies — in some cases for a fee of $20,000 a month — seeking contracts from the agencies where Homan had once worked.

In 1973, a USAF nuclear-missile officer, Harold Hering, asked a question during a training session: “How can I know that an order I receive to launch my missiles came from a sane president?” The question cost him his career. How many officers left the room asking themselves Major Hering’s question?

A life worthy of celebrating.. A death worthy of mourning. www.bbc.com/news/live/c9...
