Bibi defied the Biden Do not and clearly showed Iran Israel determination.
Now America needs a similar leader to counter the misguided Obama/Biden
Appeasement to the mullahs.

Indeed.

Bibi to Iran LAST TAG!

That is how serious that strike was.
Note bene
If Trump had not blown up the nuclear deal with Iran there would have been no opening for Russia to gain influence. But then again Trump is a Russian asset so he was just following orders.

Daily Telegraph today;

Chinese swim team at Tokyo Olympics, in 2021, had almost two dozen members who had tested positive to a banned substance ahead of the Games, but were allowed to compete due to contamination.

LOL

Not sure I believe in the Olympics anymore.

The net-zero brigade in bambuworld seem hellbent on 'going up' not 'out' [building hi-rise apartment blocks by the *millions*, and not developing land and building homes.]

Underneath these apartment blocks full of people they want everyone to have an electric car and charge them there.
Charming.
Ahem, electric car fires anyone?
Barbecued apartment dwellers anyone?

Green realists are already warning green dreamers that it's a very bad idea, given the propensity of electric car batteries to explode in flames.
Electric car batteries, electric bike batteries, electric scooter batteries...look at all those fires.
One such electric car battery exploded while charging in a home garage in America, blew the garage door off its *hinges* and down the driveway. [Colorado?]
The door hit a fireman on the head, luckily he was wearing a helmet.

That is how Empire West is in West Hollywood, 19 stories straight up with a club house and a swimming pool on the roof, with 4 stories underground for parking. Empire West is where all of the stars live who need security guards and door men and valets, etc. Many of the women at Empire West have stalkers, etc. Empire West is a good, safe spot for the stars, like for Shakira, and for Margot Robbie, etc.

For nice housing, I kind of like the housing at Santorini, Greece, and there can be swimming pools and tennis courts, and that is what I would suggest for Battle Mountain, Nevada, they should bring in the Greek architects when they build, and they can have an island atmosphere out in the middle of Nevada. With libraries, etc. And an amphitheater where they can have shows, etc, like in Greece. 

Anaheim is going to be rolling in the money, Disney is spending a lot of money here, and Newsom is giving tax breaks for producers to film, and money is being invested in Hollywood Blvd, good things are happening in California, and Mayor Bass is doing a great job, etc.

And we need more subways, and high speed trains. For Battle Mountain, Nevada, they have a Greyhound Bus Station so people can get there by Bus, and they have an Airport, and the Union Pacific Railroad runs through Battle Mountain.

And of course cheap sober living houses are needed, and cheap hostels where people can get a cheap shower and a bed. In Battle Mountain, Nevada, they had a nice tavern with rooms for rent above the tavern for $100 per month, which would be great for a Veteran, or for someone who wants to go explore Battle Mountain.

Salute,

Tony V.

In my world...many people, myself included, went right off the idea of hi rise, for fear of ending up like the unlucky folk who basically had their financial lives ruined by buying into hi rise...

Chandler's [building Commissioner] role was created by the Coalition govt after cracked apartment buildings, including Sydney's Opal Tower and Mascot Towers, exposed the low quality of new builds and a poor compliance system.



Big rush to build hi rise for all the "massive [legal] immigration" folk to live in.
Massive [legal] immigration, totally not needed, just being done by politicians seeking votes to stay in power, some people accuse.

Things done in a rush often end up in failure to be completely successful.
Corners get cut, things get missed.
