Invading Afghanistan was always a very bad idea...as was invading Iraq to get Saddam.
The American/Allied lives lost and maimed for life were not worth it.
There were other ways.

Coalition Of the Willing was a good idea, ... the folly of its actions was the big problem.
Missiles-firing attacks on evil...good.
Boots on the ground getting slaughtered...bad.

What I learnt from Border Security International on my tv today:

"If you're a known drug user you're inadmissable for entry into the United States".

The homeless poor people in Hong Kong will never rise in Hong Kong, their only choice is to make the trip to America, where they can work for Tyson Foods in Arkansas and where they can buy a home and have a family, etc. The Asians from Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, etc, and from the Philippines, are all welcome here in the USA. And we have the land along Route 66, from Chicago to Santa Monica that is good land for refugees, etc. Kentucky also needs teachers, and is a good place for refugees, along with Tennessee, etc.

And we need to hook the Latin Refugees at our Southern Border up with the United Farm Workers, and with the Teamsters, etc, so they can gain good lawful employment. And we need to make our immigrants legal like Reagan did, and we need to write a new Good Neighbor Policy for here in the Americas from the Top of Alaska to the Bottom of Chile.

I also invited the San Miguel Corporation from the Philippines to come do Business here in Hollywood, California, etc, and they can help us to save San Francisco, San Bernardino, Oakland, etc, etc, etc.

We also need for Muzi of China to do an interview with Playboy to help to strengthen peace between the USA and China, and we can cure Cancer with China, and we can go to Mars together, etc. Muzi also studied Psychology at Harvard, and so did Natalie Portman, so maybe Natalie and Muzi can work together as a team to do good things, and to help our homeless people, etc, and to bring peace, etc.

We also need to make sure that everyone reads "Animal Farm" by George Orwell, and "On Becoming a Person" by Carl Rogers.

And Claudia Sheinbaum is doing a great job in Mexico, and we can send Youth For Christ to help in Mexico, with the Peace Corps, etc, etc etc, and we can donate libraries, etc.

We also need to continue with education in Colombia, etc, we are making a lot of progress. And Bogota can have an Entertainment Industry where they make films and television shows, and they can have Fashion Design, and they can work on the Culinary Arts, and other good things.

In Europe, we have Giorgia Meloni, and Pope Francis, and the King of Spain, we have some good leaders in Europe.

And the refugees can go to the Kiwanis Village in Victoria, British Columbia. And Kiwanis is global.

Salute,

Tony V.

Guns are great...
...for shooting cougars that come into your yard and kill your pets.

Youtube:

"Cougar killed after attacking child in Leavenworth".

It's bad luck for Canadians, they're not allowed to carry guns.
Not so Americans, they can carry handguns loaded and ready to shoot cougars in self defence and defence of family and pets.

But fine if you have a big gun to kill attacking predators (and your kids too!).

Shots fired at Kamala Harris' campaign office

#####

No surprise to me, given the public display by many on the left of disappointment that Trump didn't die in the first assassination shooting.
Many on the left obviously learnt nothing from the "'Sarah Palin' hanging in a noose from a roof in LA, and 'Barack Obama' hanging from a tree in Kentucky in reply".

From what I saw on my tv tonite, US could ban Chinese cars in the not too far distant future.
China has banned Teslas in reply.
Teen in America went for a driving test recently, thought she'd passed, but DMV decided that.........because she did the test in a Tesla and the DMV tester failed her because he considered the car to be "too advanced", she had relied too much on its advanced technology and hadn't operated the brake pedal enough.............she couldn't have a licence.

Think far left Albo and co won't ban Chinese cars on national security grounds...because that would upset their green dream revolution.
Also might start another trade war, which Australia would lose bigtime.

Could be that the govt [politicians] will increase its "Com Car" fleet of BMWs...PM's official car is a white BMW with rego plate C1 ['Commonwealth one'].....and the People drive Chinese electric cars.
