You think the WSJ is some type of Media gospel? They are manipulative just like everyone else, and have their own agenda.
Obviously, that horrible derogatory word has triggered you....get over it!

They are not remotely Marxist. A word you seem by.

How do you expect to be taken seriously when you call the WSJ Marxist?

I know it’s the internet but do you have no sense of personal integrity or credibility? Does the weight of your words mean nothing?

With a 31% drop in Canadians crossing the boarder in automobiles and a 13.5% drop in air travel, states that do any amount of business through tourism must be down on revenue. Those figures are year over year comparisons and have been down similarly each of the last four months.

Has anyone in the u.s. noticed a marked decrease in tourists ? Tourism is big business here in the summer months but we won’t start to notice until the ferry starts for the season if the decrease is reciprocal.

I think the key metric would be states that have a substantial number of Canadian tourists specifically… somewhere that Canadians are a noticable or significant % of the total number of tourists typically…

It would be hard to gauge otherwise..

For example, one of my daughters works for Disney in their corporate offices in Orlando…

It is very possible there are less Canadians in the parks right now..

But, what the impact of that would be, she wouldn’t know.. because they are overrun with international tourists in general right now… it’s the busiest time of the year for them.. the parks are running at max capacity daily whether Canadians are coming or not.. if a Canadian has chosen not to come, a Japanese or Chinese or Mexican or British tourist has taken their spot…

I’d guess an organization as big as Disney likely tracks where its large customer groups come from, and that they target marketing dollars accordingly… so someone inside Disney probably knows if the Canadian numbers are down..

But the point is, from what I understand, it isn’t making any difference even if the numbers are down.. because they’re still completely packed every day…

Governments and politics are fickle fuckers..
 
Split screen todays Trump visit and Biden visiting Saudi Arabia last year just before the election. Hat in hand asking the Crown Prince to help a brother out groveling to increase oil production. This after calling the Prince evil. Pathetic

Trumps speach in Riyadh today was right on the money. Trying to bring S.A. Into the Abraham Accords, getting 1 trillion in investment. The UAE was there and they are number 3 in the world of artificial intelligence. Bringing them into the fold is huge. China has been trying to sweet talk the UAE. Huge day for world peace today.

Biden got a fist bump and a polite wave good bye.

Lighten up Francis, or should I say lighten up Karen?

Read Karl Marx economic theory, and you might have a better understanding why I use the word marxist, often times in jest at certain things.
Some of you all are just too serious and uptight and looking to pounce on stupid shit over nothing.
Grow a pair, or STFU.

If Trump was re-elected the Kingdom would already be the Abraham Accords. They will be before the end of this term.

Not likely.

The Crown Prince (you know the chap who tortures and kills journalists) today said that they were not going near the Accord until Israel stops all military actions in Gaza and there is a clear path to Palestinian statehood agreed to.

Well, I almost got taken out by two cars with Ontario plates at the Buffalo Airport yesterday, and a cruise past the Galeria Mall also showed some Ontario plates.

Also saw a few at some of the local medical centers...

Curious what the rationale (or excuse) for removing sanctions on Syria is.. Would say reasoning but I’d be surprised if there was reason involved.. Meeting with a terrorist and give him legitimacy..

The US opposed Assad and al-Sharaa is the one in power now. If we want to have influence in the new Syria, it seems like a good idea to normalize relations. Post Assad, Syria is posed to be against Russia now and an attempt at a positive relationship seems to make sense.

Plus, he wears a suit! ;)

No, but I live on the wrong border for that anyway. ;)

I think it’s important for us here to share with uneducated people in our circles that it is the left Democrats that are isolationists.

the last four years the Biden/Blinken team would not talk to any countries leaders they had opposing views with.

Today the American team is in Qatar, (the referee in the Middle East). Working out bringing back Syria into the fold, which helps calm down other Muslim nations.

The new leader of Syria will be brought into the circle instead of driven to Russia and China. This also allows European Syrian refugees to go back to Syria. Trump is showing that he is America first but far from an isolationist. He just doesn’t believe in nation building and telling countries and cultures that America knows better than they do.

The past nation building regimes have failed. it’s high time to try something different.

In foreign policy. There’s no such thing as forever friends and forever enemies

Something has gone sideways on the Navy procurement. They were prepared to announce the winner (between Boeing and Northrop) last month and then the new team put it on hold.
 
I hope Hegseth doesn’t think aircraft carriers have becomeobsolete. Ground pounders are not optimal for a Chinese blockade on Taiwan. I’m sure Hegseth has been read in and is aware of other programs available to him since that pre SecDef interview.

Just solve the current hypersonic missile problem don’t scrap a long proven platform.

A couple clips in that video remind me of how rare of a person it is that can become a fighter pilot. It’s a rare combination of intelligence coordination and almost being a perfect
physical specimen.

Of course, I would never say that in front of the ones I know

Hello! I saw your post from last year about a missing crate from your hunt in Moz. I am curious how that all turned out? We (my fiancé and I) also hunted in Moz in 2024 and the trophies are being shipped with Hunters Services Limitada. We have some concerns on whether we will get the trophies home or not. May I ask who you hunted with?
