The younger version of me was a hard-core, loyal Republican. I was ready to hold my nose and vote for Williams because he was the nominee and I knew Richards was horrible (she would be called Hillary-lite today). Then Claytiaggy started running his mouth. And it got worse and worse and culminated in the "rape" comment. Thinking he would destroy the state GOP, I left the governor slot blank on my ballot.
Texas is dark pink merely due to the large population. Texas ranks bottom 10 in both infections/million and deaths/million.
The Trump Admin to open our first US Consulate in Greenland in nearly 70 years. Welcome 51? (by pure coincidence, they also have the world's second-largest deposit of rare-earth oxides, and the sixth-largest deposit of uranium)
We don't need to annex Greenland to take advantage of that. We sure as hell don't need to make it a state. Why add a house member and two senators who will make AOC look like Jesse Helms?
The Chinese have a program called “One Bribe One Loan,” which now has projects in over 100 countries. This is what they have been using in Africa in particular -- bribing dictators into enslaving their own people, robbing them of their natural resources and then entrapping them with billions of dollars of debt from which they have no hope to pay off. I am sure we would both like to think the Danes are above this but even they can be bought too at some point
Pay a fair price for what they are selling. Give them some big brotherly advice. If they partner with China, they will get screwed. Be there to pick them back up and dust them off.
Bush gave a good address that was needed and was ultimately supportive of Trump. Trump was an idiot to mouth off about it.
