    Well, he could stop remittiturs to Mexico, which would certainly put it dent in their economy. But he would have a hard time stopping trade crossing the border as too many companies are dependent upon production in Mexico. I’m afraid we would feel a lot of that pain.

    Flying through London or Amsterdam

    Is it still cheaper with the gun fee? I can only tell you about London. To avoid problems, make sure your flight from the USA to London is on BA metal and BA metal to JNB too. Make sure you have adquate layover time in London. If going T3 to T5 you need more time then T5 to T5. And DO NOT...

    Bringing rifle w/o assistance

    I have done both. It really depends on what time your flight arrives and layover time. The customs and immigration line can be vary long. About six years ago it over 2 hours, fortunately, I was overnighting in Johannesburg, tight connection I would’ve been screwed. Last year I arrived on Qatar...

    And that’s the problem, if the 16th is still there you get a VAT and an Income tax. Taxes never go way. Withholding was supposed to be temporary, we are closing in on 100 years of “temporary.” I would suspect that a VAT would be allowed under Art 1.

    Big Elephant Reportedly Taken in Tanzania

    Apparently, he was a breading age bull, and and a past breading age bull is preferred. From what I have read he would not be a “shooter” too young. But the main point is, he should have never been shot. There was an agreement between Kenya and Tanzania not to shoot in that concession. I have...

    I would not consider Orban a dictator. That’s what the MSM pushes because he will not take immigrants. I was in Hungry in 85 when it actually had a dictator, this guy not close. On a side note, that was the only time the trains have ever run on time in Italy.
