Trump hangs out at his golf course . . . across an Ocean, on a weekend boondoggle that required FIVE C5A Super Galaxy Flights to deliver his armored car and security brigade. I wonder how much that costs the Treasury, and how that might lost wealth might have benefited the country instead.

Good for them and him. The finest note of currency issued by any country in the history of the world was the Canadian $5 Note with the kids playing hockey on a pond. THAT - and not historic politician worship - is the stamp of a nation that knows who they are.

The legislature of Canada is called the Parliament of Canada. The legislature of Quebec is call the National Assembly of Quebec. That speaks volumes of Quebec's perspective.

Replacing all the windows with bulletproof must have cost 10s of millions, at least; adding indoor and outdoor pools is a nice touch.

The next time someone is tempted to use Amazon instead of spending a few minutes searching for a direct source, remember this: Amazon is the modern Sturmabteilung, only more insidious - this time burning books is to build a monopoly of censorship and dependence on its AI. They are swine.

No other country building AI is destroying itself with data centers. The US has nearly 4000. The next 4 leading countries have less than half that - combined - and are beating the US with AI in many respects. Who does this serve? Not me. Not you.

That's the right idea, but too generous. They should be made to sleep and live like sailors on a carrier, with confining bunks, showers, and food - and force to work completely underground.

Go with an aircraft carrier: billet him as an enlisted sailor and give him a task that keeps him deep in the bowels of the ship where he won't see the light of day. 'Imagine living in a cross between a crowded locker room and gas station that is insanely noisy for month at a time . . .'

The aircraft was near the USGC and in radio contact near Howland Is. - 2564 miles WSW of the departure in Lae, New Guinea - before ditching. Saipan is part of an island chain 1492 miles due NORTH from Lae. She'd know the difference between North and West.

I've done the 501' Spiegel Grove 'before' and 'after.' When they sunk it for a dive wreck, it turned turtle and landed on its side in 136 fsw. You had to go deep to get it. Hurricane Dennis blew it upright in 2005. It now sits on its hull, making the bridge and decks more accessible.
