Guns drawn and everything? Couldn’t tell by the video on the news.
 
The KGB has opened a criminal investigation into the Baltimore bridge incident.

I wouldn't read too much into the FBI opening an investigation into the incident. Reports the day after the accident have said the ship was having electrical problems. If the Coast Guard in their investigation finds there was electrical problems or other maintenance issues that affected the safety of the waters of the United States, they turn that material over to the FBI to be investigated further. If the FBI finds that the Captain and Shipping Company were ignoring safety issues, they will turn the case over to the DOJ.
 
Just be glad you're NOT a Lloyd's underwriter on this deal.

Yep. I have a feeling the insurer and the reinsurers have already set aside the maximum exposure they have to the accident.

Most policies will deal with negligence. If the shipping company was negligent in maintaining the ship then they will fight paying the claim. What ever happens the lawyers will get paid.
 
@Corey0372 i don’t think banning imports from China would be realistic. It would also hurt our economy greatly. And I am not talking about just iPhones and Dell computers. We import a ton of everyday stuff from China that are not made elsewhere.

When are we going to get that our economy is global?
 
How's the stock portfolio doing today?

Russian friendly Republicans?

Who writes this nonsensical spew?

How about hawkish conservatives that may be tired of funding endless wars with taxpayer dollars, when there are serious problems on the homefront!

 
If Trump ever even looked at that boat on the news the DOJ will get him indicted for the collusion…..
Just wait. I'll bet the DOJ/FTC is hatching a plan to go after Trump for going public with his social media stock, and the ensuing losses on the short sales.
They will scheme anything to get him into court and try to bankrupt him.
 
Trump is a lot of things, perhaps even the lesser of two evils to be the next President, but an ethical businessman he is not.

It would not surprise me whatsoever if he did a pump-and-dump on his own sheep shareholders, nor would it surprise me if he set up a series of shell corps to illegally short his own stock if it was going to tank.

I truly feel sympathy for the Trump zealots that bought his shares, use his tech platforms, and bought his buddy's pillows. It's one thing to vote your conscience and select him as a candidate, its another thing to blindly invest money into the absolute trash as-seen-on-TV junk he peddles for profit.

You're just jealous of my new shoes

When Republicans block aid to Ukraine, they become allies of Vladimir Putin. This nearly half year delay in support has done more damage to the Ukrainian armed forces and that nation's infrastructure than Russia was able to accomplish since the first eighteen months of the war. Putin really should award the Freedom Caucus and its supporters "Hero of the Russian Federation" medals.

Even Russian State TV calls Mike Johnson "our Mike Johnson." A loud foolish minority has become the face of the party of Reagan and the willing tools of the Kremlin.

Short sales are a legal tool anyone can use.
Trump’s company is not the only one people are shorting.
When you become a public company you are at the mercy of the market.

I realize that full well.

That doesn't mean the leftist flying monkey's won't try and find another way to "Get Trump"., and bottle him up in court. It's what they do.

If he wins we can look forward to 4 years of GET TRUMP at any cost. He’s on trial now that was misdemeanor upgraded to a felony and outside the statute of limitations. They will stop at nothing. This is coming from someone that doesn’t really care for the man but loathe the current administration.
 


The dumbasses in favor of this student loan forgiveness don't realize the storm its going to cause. It's far, far worse than just spending trillions of dollars that go onto the national debt.

The average student loan debt is $400 a month. Forgiving that will infuse $400 more into the economy per borrower resulting in more dollars chasing fewer goods. <- Put another way, it will cause inflation because its growing the money supply, so everyone suffers twice.

First by the additional national debt that will require more money printing to service the debt, paid by all.

Second by the glut of new money from these borrowers will now have to spend on discretionary purchases, creating shortages from new demand, leading to cost inflation.

Lose - Lose.

Red Foot, there's some kind of confusion. Skobeeva called Boris Johnson "our" - "our British Johnson." And this one with glasses is "the Johnson there, American."


She loves Boris dearly and came up with the nickname "Johnsonyuk" for him.

I realize how hard the bug has bit. I’m on the cusp of safari #2 and I’m looking to plan #3 with my 11 year old a year from now while looking at my work schedule for overtime and computing the math of how many shifts are needed….

I'd like to get some too.

My wife (a biologist, like me) had to have a melanoma removed from her arm last fall.

Hallo Marius- do you have possibilities for stags in September during the roar? Where are your hunting areas in Romania?

I'm about ready to pull the trigger on another rifle but would love to see your rifle first, any way you could forward a pic or two?
Thanks,
