If you are arguing that there is no innocent [person of any nationality whatsoever] then you are making the case for genocide

Perfect example though of how corrupting tariffs are. Every town & business becomes dependent on little tariff carve outs, meaning that buying influence with Senators becomes mandatory to stay in business. The tariff is the mother of trusts!!!

The Flying Tigers are one of the American contributions to the Allied war effort that the PRC still lionizes to this day. The People's Liberation Monument in Chongqing still has a letter from Franklin Roosevelt congratulating the Chinese people on their victory in WW2 embedded in its core.

I wish more people did condemn the Iraq invasion on 9/11. "Your pain does not justify inflicting pain on other innocent people" is a lesson that apparently more people need hammered into their heads repeatedly.

Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and the CDC have stopped recommending seven vaccines for children, including vaccines that protect against hepatitis B, RSV, and meningitis. These vaccines have kept millions of children out of the hospital and saved countless lives. I'm suing.

Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.

I can suggest an equation that has the potential to impact the future:
1พ ...
E = mc2 + Al
This equation combines Einstein's famous equation E=mc',
, which relates energy (E) to
mass (m) and the speed of light (c), with the addition of Al (Artificial Intelligence). By including Al in the equation, it symbolizes the increasing role of artificial intelligence in shaping and transforming our future. This equation highlights the potential for Al to unlock new forms of energy, enhance scientific discoveries, and revolutionize various fields such as healthcare, transportation, and technology.
