VW is odd since it is a German company and about as unionized as you can get.

It really doesn't matter. At some point you have to stand up for what's right or sit in the corner forever in fear.

The rice was a big hit. No better foreign relations than giving a big ol bag of rice to a starving family. Stars and stripes printed on the outside.

Used to know people when I was a kid that marched with MLK. The conditions you described applied to them. Yet, everytime a march was called they were on the bus. It was important to them. It's not important enough for Texans.

I guess if my life hung in the balance and at the whim of people like Ken Paxton, I'd leave too. Too bad that Texans and doctors didn't show up for her.

Mar-a-logo is a very interesting property with a long history. It was once owned by the US government as well as the Beatles.

Reminder that the use of white phosphorous, by itself, is NOT a war crime.

It is only when white phosphorous is used as the primary or sole incendiary ingredient in an incendiary bomb that its use is possibly outside of the various statutes on its use.

"Well, what else would those evil [insert slur here] use the horrible compound for?"

Smoke, you clot. It's the main chemical used to produce smoke. It's also used as the triggering explosive in larger warheads, since its such a lively explosive.

We used to have a strategic food supply in the US in case other countries fell into famine. Or, if we needed it ourselves. No longer. I guess Congress felt it was too expensive to keep.

He never should have returned. But, if he didn't he'd be hunted worldwide.

What if the US was in the same scenario. Would you give up a state like Texas? Even though there are no men or doctors in Texas that will stand up for Kate Cox. I'd have to say no.

Alabama would be OK though.

The judge already found Giulianni libel for defamation. This trial is for damages.

 

In 2020, Trump’s DOJ issued a binding legal opinion that impeachment inquiries are invalid without an official vote of the House.
