    Old econ expression: When you owe a bank a little they own you. When you owe a bank enough, you own them. Possession of US Treasuries does not give China any usable leverage.

    Absurd. There is a massive amount of interest that is already being paid. Not to mention the results if they called in the debt. 
     

    money could be better used helping Americans. Not to line corrupt Ukraine government officials pockets.

    Paul is in idoit, and he's wrong anyway. if you can use Chinese money to defeat the Russians, by all means go for it!

    Almost as good as using Iranian money against the Contra's, except that RR apparently forgot they had passed a law against that.

    Since the start of the trade war between China and US in 2018, there has been a growing concern that China could possibly “weaponise” its US debt holding as a way to retaliate against trade tariffs.

     

    If China were to begin dumping US debt, this could trigger a sell-off in the bond market, sending US interest rates higher and potentially hurting economic growth.

    Owing China money who clearly is a hostile nation is a horrible thing. Racking up more debt to send to Ukraine is stupid. You are taking money away from Americans to pay for a needless war.

  3. Mayor Eric Adams is telling illegal migrants from the border don’t bother coming.

    Keep in mind this is the same guy who wants open borders.

    Quote

    Adams has wanted to put the migrants on cruise ships, a mail hangar at JFK, they’re housed in the formerly elegant Roosevelt Hotel, etc, and all the while “the migrants” can’t be bothered to show up for any of the paperwork.

    So, they do have themselves in a pickle, mostly of their own making, and handing out flyers isn’t going to do a thing but muck up drainage at the border.

    Senator Rand Paul declared Wednesday that the U.S. cannot afford to keep sending money and ammo to Ukraine in order to fight a war with Russia, because the country has run out of both.

    From a fiscal conservative perspective, it makes no sense to borrow money from China to send it to Ukraine,” Paul urged, adding “It’s not like we’re sending them surplus funds. It’s like, ‘Oh, we have surplus ammo around.

    Biden 10M bribe file released. Coerced into making payoff. 

    20 plus shell companies!

    Quote

    A bombshell FBI informant file containing a $10 million bribery allegation against President Biden and his son was released Thursday by Sen. Chuck Grassley, showing that a Ukrainian oligarch claimed that he was “coerced” into making the payoff.

    owner of Ukrainian gas company Burisma Holdings, Mykola Zlochevsky, told an FBI informant in late 2015 or early 2016 during a meeting near Kyiv that “it cost 5 [million] to pay one Biden, and 5 [million] to another Biden

    ddendum to the report from June 2020, the source told investigators that Zlochevsky claimed to have 17 recordings of conversations with the Bidens — two of which involved Joe.

    According to a report published Wednesday, July 19, Biden is using "lower stairs" on Air Force One to avoid tripping incidents, such as the one that took place days prior amid his return from a press conference in Helsinki, Finland.

    One of the whistleblowers, Joseph Ziegler, is a 13-year veteran of the IRS’s Criminal Investigation Division. “In his testimony,” CNN reported, “Ziegler said he witnessed federal prosecutors deviating from normal procedures, and echoed fellow whistleblower Gary Shapley’s claims that IRS investigators recommended charging Hunter Biden with far more serious rimes than what the president’s son had agreed to plead guilty to.”

    In Ziegler’s own words: “It appeared to me, based on what I experienced, that the US attorney in Delaware in our investigation was constantly hamstrung, limited, and marginalized by DOJ officials as well as other US attorneys.”

    Nolte: Disney+ Expected to Lose $800 Million This Quarter

    Quote

    The floundering Walt Disney Company’s Disney+ streaming service is expected to record a $800 million third-quarter loss.

    That’s nearly a billion dollars lost in a single quarter.

    Because Disney cannot control its dual obsessions involving identity politics and its criminal desire to normalize sex with kids, everything Disney is dying… The company has probably lost somewhere around a billion dollars on its last nine feature films. Disney+ is a stagnant money pit of sexual perversities. Theme park attendance is down. The price of Disney’s stock has been cut in half in just a few years.

  9. US Pressuring Ukraine to Push Harder in Counteroffensive

    Western officials are blaming Ukraine's tactics for the lack of success

    Quote

    The Washington Post reported Tuesday that US officials believe Ukraine should be launching large-scale assaults against Russia’s defensive lines despite the risk of major losses and are blaming Ukraine’s tactics for the struggling counteroffensive.

    The main complaint from the US and other Western countries is that Ukraine is not using “combined arms” tactics, which integrate infantry, armored vehicles, and artillery. Instead, Ukraine is relying on artillery and sending small teams of engineers to clear minefields,

    exasperated at the slow pace of the initial assault and fearing increased casualties among their ranks, had reverted to old habits — decades of Soviet-style training in artillery barrages — rather than sticking with the Western tactics

  10. if you want a guacamole This one is good. 

    4 portions
    1 bowl
    7 pieces of avocado 
    1/2  Bushel of fresh cilantro 
    1 diced clove of fresh garlic
    2 tablespoon of sour cream 
    2 Roman tomatoes 
    1/2 white onion
    1/2 tablespoon salt & black pepper 
    Juice of 1 lime


    1.- Cut in half all the avocados, to remove middle piece, smash all avocados in one bowl, add the juice of the lime (this is to prevent the avocado oxidation)

    2.- tomatoes and onioins are diced in small squares.

    3.-cilantro: remove only 1 inch from the end of the stem.  chop cilantro together with the stem ( the stem is very aromatic and gives flavor).

    4.- incorporate all ingredients to the smashed avocado and mix. (Add salt and pepper as you prefer, add the sour cream for creamy texture).

    Highly recommend 1 to 2 Serrano peppers  diced in small pieces to get a hot flavor 🔥 🔥.

  11. Not going well indeed. Keep in mind this is only first 2 weeks.

    Quote

    Last week, the Russian Ministry of Defense claimed up to 1,000 Ukrainian soldiers were being killed per day in the counteroffensive, with 30 percent of its Western supplies of tanks already destroyed in counteroffensive operations. Ukraine has not denied these figures

    This would indicate that well over 10,000 Ukrainian soldiers have already been slaughtered in the two-week-old offensive that has resulted in a grand total of eight small villages and just 113 square kilometers of territory seized by Ukraine.

  12. 20% of Ukrainian weapons destroyed in just two weeks – New York Times

    Quote

    The Ukrainian military lost 20% of the equipment it sent to the battlefield during the first two weeks of its counteroffensive, the New York Times reported on Saturday. This high attrition rate was reportedly a key factor in Kiev’s decision to pause the operation.

    The offensive clearly has been a failure so far. There is no longer any debate.

    It just ain't gonna happen. The party and 85%+ of the voter base have cemented in their minds that Joe Biden will be the Democratic nominee and so it shall be. I'd love a younger candidate to run too, but I've accepted that Biden will be the candidate again and so I'm not even going to bother hoping from an alternative. Joe Biden it is.

  15. Biden, With Sluggish Small Donations, Waits for Liberal Energy to Rise

    Quote

    the party’s small donors have yet to step up their contributions.

    The Biden campaign and the Biden Victory Fund, its joint fund-raising vehicle, collected $10.2 million from small donors — defined as those who gave $200 or less — during the three-month fund-raising period that ended June 30, according to a Federal Election Commission report filed Saturday. That figure is about half of the $21 million President Barack Obama’s campaign raised during the same period of his 2012 re-election effort.

    In that case the Lions would only have to win 2 home games to get to the SB vs. say the Eagles, Cowboys or Niners having to win 3 including atleast 1 road game.

    Even that is a tough ask. But who knows with injuries and deadline trades.

    I do believe the Vikings being left for dead, is a mistake. I could see the Vikings winning the division. Obviously, I hope the Lions win. But I think it is 50/50. No one has a clue how the Bears will be given all the offseason additions. I presume they will be a near .500 team 8-9 or 9-8.
