Is that how wingers are projecting their massive sellout to trump and his Muslim ban bullshit?

Good thing you dumb fucks are not in charge.

Patriots are a good start.

Ukraine needs the tools to crush Russians as they freeze in their trenches or work at their railheads and airfields.

Have them kettled or back to their borders before the thaw.

So Bankman Fried can not testify ( under oath) to Maxine and the gang since the Biden DOJ brought down the hammer of the law.

The dems wallowed in his fraudulent largesse but we will never know the details.

How convenient, er, predictable.
LOL. I guess you do not follow the news.

You're a tropical animal, and you are a hundred miles north of Stockholm in December, and you want to escape a heated enclosure.  Clearly things are not so great for you.

(AP) The U.S. is poised to approve sending a Patriot missile battery to Ukraine, finally agreeing to an urgent request from Ukrainian leaders desperate for more robust weapons to shoot down incoming Russian missiles...

The approval is likely to come later this week and could be announced as early as Thursday, said three officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the decision is not final and has not been made public. Two of the officials said the Patriot will come from Pentagon stocks and be moved from another country overseas.   




This is good news. 

Only if you condone throwing good money after bad.

If Biden and his cheering section led by you and the clickbait main Street media are determined to keep asking Americans to pay for an endless and unwinnable war you should at least be honest about the man who is getting all this money.
Zelensky is a tyrant who has sold out his own country, ended free speech and religion , to sustain an uncontrollable ego.

Sure thing, Sergei!

I saw a report of the top travel destinations on the news; Paris, France, was number one, while Rome, Italy, was number five, and New York City came in at number ten.

Anaheim was not even on the list. Right now we are spending four billion dollars to make Anaheim nicer, and we will spend more, and soon Anaheim will be a top tourist destination.

Also, Las Vegas, Nevada, needs to be a top tourist destination, and we need to have a high speed train connecting Las Vegas with Anaheim.

Salute,

Paris?
Not like it used to be.
In the early 1960s, in high school, I had a pen friend in Paris.
She was pretty and had 2 poodles.
She would correct my French and I would correct her English.
I continued to correspond with her until age 20.
No expression of love was ever conveyed.
Can't really be dating miss-mrs bambu and be writing letters to another woman...especially when you're playing "last-chance romance".
That was the time to visit Paris...before it became what it is today.

I have been to Paris, but only to the airport on my way to and from the Cannes film festival. Everyone in Paris was well dressed, and it was like they all went to charm school. The people in Paris were all polite and well mannered. And Cannes was great, I enjoyed my time in Cannes, the food was great, the people were great, I love Cannes. Someday I will go to France and just spend some time in Paris, I will go spend a month in Paris eventually.

And there is Bernard Verley, and Renaud Verley, so my last name is already famous in France. There have been French movie stars with my last name.

For me as a teen there was the movie "Weird Science" with Kelly Le Brock, and she was my idea as a teen of French American women, Kelly Le Brock is a babe in that movie.

I spent 6 weeks in Rome, and that was awesome, I tried to get a job at Cinecitta, I love Rome. Europe is great.

Salute,

Tony V.

I hope Fullerton Community College shows some films from Bernard Verley at their film festival, and Renaud Verley, there have been Verleys in France who have been making movies for a long time, and I think Bernard Verley dated Brigitte Bardot.

I might go to their French Film Festival at the community college, we will see, I would enjoy it.

Salute,

Of note, the French are welcome to open a movie and television studio here in Anaheim anytime they want, Anaheim has a lot of trained talent and the French are welcome to open a studio here whenever they want, the French are welcome here.

Salute,

I've read several stories reporting that the "the French" are looking to open studios in Battle Mountain, Nevada.

That would actually be fantastic, but the trained talent is in Southern California for the Entertainment Industry. The French can make cheese in Battle Mountain, Nevada, and they can mine for Gold, and they can grow and make the good deli stone ground mustard, and they can raise beef for McDonald's, and they can raise pigs and they can sell bacon to San Francisco, there is a lot that can be done in Battle Mountain, Nevada, and Battle Mountain has an airport, etc. But, California is the place for film and television production, all of the trained talent is in California.

Anaheim would be the perfect spot for the French to open a movie and television studio, the talent is abundant in Anaheim.

Salute,
