Another interesting UAP video just popped, this one a "cigar" or "tic-tac" type sighted visually and on electronic systems by Customs and Border Protection a couple years ago.

They claim they could be drones run by the cartels. I doubt that because it wouldn't have the payload to deliver illicit substances cost effectively, but it certainly could be a reconnaissance device of terrestrial origin.

 
"President Vladimir V. Putin skipped the talks, and instead sent a group of midlevel Russian officials to Istanbul."

"But when Putin didn't attend, Zelensky accused him of sending "stand-in props." Russia's foreign ministry hit back, calling Zelensky a "clown and a loser."

"Mr. Trump, who was in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates Thursday, had earlier said that he might travel to Turkey on Friday “if something happened” in the peace talks."

Yeah.... Everyone's serious about sitting down and working it out. :rolleyes:

For the life of me, I can't understand why anyone extends to Putin an iota of credibility for anything. He's a tyrannical delusional egomaniac. Never treat him as anything different.

As long as Putin acts engaged and as a result Trump reduces or stops weapons going to Ukraine, Putin most likely feels it is a win for him
 
Pretty productive trip Militarily and financially for an Isolationist. Possibly redefining what engagement looks like.

For decades it’s been meddling and Nation Building, trillions spent. hundreds of thousands dead and what nation is better off from the past expert Nation Builders?

I suspect that at some point the penny will drop and Trump will realise that Putin is just playing him

I would sure like to believe that's true, but my optimism is not as high as yours. I'm not sure that anything truly penetrates that incredible denseness that is Trump's ego.

Thank you my nautical friend,

Some may think that Trump is boasting his successes, but they are what they are.
These in total are more than Biden accomplished in four years.
Maybe more than Obama accomplished in eight years.

Dislike Trump the A-hole all you want but overall he is getting the job done!
 
It's a pretty safe bet that the Lion's share of those voters, voted for Trumps agenda, and not the GOP Rino's who are trying to block it.
I would counter argue that the lions share voted for the Republican candidate over the Democrat candidate. R's and D's both vote almost exclusively on the party lines, regardless of the candidate. It's the Independents that swing the election results, and it was clear that Trump was better for America than Harris, so that's how they voted; not so much for his whole agenda but rather for the 2 or 3 most important things to them (economy, Immigration, national strength, etc.). ... those same voters elected the various "GOP Rino's who are trying to block" Trumps agenda.

Don't get me wrong, I've stated many times on this thread that I do support Trump and most of his agenda, but that's not the same as having an absolute agreement on every action or a blind faith that his agenda is unequivocally the best thing for America. ... I would absolutely vote for Trump again, against nearly any Democrat opponent, but I'd rather vote for a lot of other Republicans.

I have voted for those types of RINO'S here in Arizona. McCain and Flake. I had to take a shower after voting to wash off the disgust I felt.
I'm sure voters in other states feel the same way. just because we vote for them doesnt mean we support their actions.
Same thing goes for Trump. I get it.

This gal should suffer the same fate as Don Lemon.

I could only watch to 3;11, but by her own standard she needs to return to Africa , because native [first people ] Indians were here first. I cant believe we as a nation cant get over the race card.
 
A bit of credit where credit is due. Setting aside the 747 gift that will require months, more likely years, to turn into an Air Force 1 with is array of capabilities, Trump's Middle East sojourn has been a triumphal procession and meaningful recasting of American power projection far more in keeping with our mercantile traditions than nation building ever was. The comfort of the Arab leadership with whom he dialogued was palatable in the photo ops.

Good Afternoon,
How firm are you on your Dakota 416? I am highly interested but looking at a few different guns currently.

Best,
BJ

I have a Chapuis 450-400 double that looks brand new and shoots well, never been hunted from what I can tell. I am willing to part with it as I have a 375 H&H Sodia on it's way from Dorleac & Dorleac. I am looking for $9,250 for it and if you are interested, I am happy to send you some pictures. Regards,
Steve
