The British elites and their cousins down unduh have never learned what the American colonists tried to get across to them 250 years ago. The bad thing is it appears that us here in the States seem to have a significant component within our population that don't mind elitist overlords as long as they keep handing out freebies. We call them "DIMocrats".
Still going through the buñuelos we made for New Years. They're the crack cocaine of the sugar-holic which I am and always have been. Very thin, deep fried tortillas with enough cinnamon and sugar on them to keep a super sweet cereal company going for a month. What sugar and cinnamon is left over I use to sweeten my Raisin Bran.
Absolutely "Aye, Aye!" on all of it. Looking back over one's life it is easy to see where God's footsteps were where you thought your drag marks should have been. If you were healthy enough to be a Marine my hat is off to you. I moved around 20 times from the time I was born until I was 18. Went through 10 different schools in the 60s and 70s and every danged one of them had some crazy "New and Improved" teaching method to screw our brains around with. I'm just lucky I was a reader to begin with but it also meant that I never had the time to invest in physical training. You need to start that from 10 or 11 on and carry it through High School to be truly conditioned. I was so out of it by the time they took us to the track in Boot Camp to do my 1-1/4 mile run I completely lost bladder control but at least I completed the course. Running was never and still isn't one of my strong points. But what held the company back was the fact that about a third of the guys were borderline illiterate. We spent 9 weeks in Boot Camp instead of 6 because of that.. Good times, though!
I graduated from High School in '75. Tried college for a couple of years but toward the end I had ZERO idea as to why I was there other that I was supposed to. It was a left over meme of my parents' generation because it worked for them. Went into the Navy as a Machinist's Mate (now I wish I could have gone Electrician's Mate but math scared me back then. Oh well...) learned what I had a knack for and spent the next 15 years in and out of the military and civilian world working on mechanical things. When Personal Computers came out in the 80s, however, I was instantly hooked and that industry was moving so fast there was NO university level courses that could keep up unless you'd been in the field for 15 years prior. I found a small electronics school to get me over the hump of understanding digital electronics and eventually found a job as a networking administrator in the public schools. All the time after that I was struck by the "educated" people around me that had a smaller vocabulary than I did but I had compassion on them since I worked for them. (I've always been a voracious reader) I was in the school system long enough to get my pension and then I was out. Now that President Trump has repealed the Windfall exclusion on SS (about half my working life was outside the schools) I have a reasonable retirement income but I know for a fact that my kids and grand kids could never duplicate what I did to keep us fed and housed.
The World moves so fast now days you have to just take the opportunities as they come and, most of the time, you don't see them coming until you start looking because you need something new. A healthy prayer life is a MUST!
It's a very mixed bag with China in the middle of it. Don't give a flip what you think but Venezuela's government was a bad actor for many years and the more cocaine saturated bodies there are in the Gulf of America the better. Mexico may be the next to be visited, again, by the Marines.
The fact that U.S. troops could get into his safe house and capture him before he could get into his vault is striking in itself. There HAD to be some help from Venezuelan forces to get this done. Nonetheless, the Spec Ops people are going to have one more story to tell around the camp fires! PLEASE, dear God, DON'T let this turn into another Ukraine! DON'T let the NeoCons get their hands on this operation.
We've had serious events every solar cycle but the difference this time is our magnetic poles are shifting faster each year and the solar blasts that shouldn't cause us much grief actually do producing auroras into the lower latitudes like here in Texas, Florida and beyond. Aircraft have recently been reported as having interference from exploding Sun spots and threads causing them to drop precipitously in flight.

It's got to be a genetic trait that come from inbreeding for it to have lasted this long.

Works for me as a Texan. They're all New Yorkin' and Californian my Texas turning the place into what they moved away from.
Well it would be fun to see the sub surface and see Sean Connery step out onto the conning tower. Miss that guy!
The kid looks like he's in Jr. High.

Being a politician means never having to say you're sorry for being such a dumb-a$$.

Make the bottom 20 feet or so out of something that can be cleaned. The TDS'ers will be buying up all the spray paint they can.
"Arc de Trump"

Nope, but I was considering sending him a gift carton of a dozen boxes.
I can see custom double-ought buck rounds with bacon wadding on the shelf soon.
Make their first stop Brussels' EU building complex then wait and see what happens.
