And the cuts to the working people are effective the day after the mid-term elections. How timely;)

Very unfortunate for the American people. And why? So that Trump can reduce the income taxes of the 1% of the 1% of the 1%.

Exactly. And lies! Once the stockpile of imported goods is gone, we will see increased inflation in the United States combined with more job layoffs. Certainly not what people voted for. Trump wants a national sales tax on all imported goods of at least 10%.

Why do I focus on Palestine when there are so many other causes around the world? In concluding remarks at a public meeting on Canada and Gaza organized by the Ottawa Forum on Israel Palestine, moderator Peter Larson raised a question he is often asked: โ€œWhy does he focus โ€ฆ

โ€œWhat is happening in Gaza is a genocide, meeting all the criteria of a genocide. There is no doubt in my military mind that that is what is going onโ€, said General Romeo Dallaire, Canadaโ€™s foremost expert on genocide.

Wasnโ€™t this the reason Trump bought the show? So he could walk through while they were changing?

Really? I donโ€™t think so. I think the only thing Putin has on Trump is money. Putin holds all his debt. Without the loans, Trump will be foreclosed on all his properties.

We went out this morning and there was very little wind, so we waited. And it was worth waiting as we ended up with a steady wind of 6 knots and got 4 good races in.

Funny, when we went out this morning, there nearly no wind, but it picked up to a comfortable 6 knots and we got four good races in today.
