WSJ: Biden Is Desperately Seeking Trump
Will the GOP again give Democrats the nominee they covet?

Unlike ‘Desperately Seeking Susan’ in 1985, the Democrats don’t have to sneak around to find The Donald.
He is very active on the primary-campaign trail.
In addition to ‘politicking’, he’s been denigrating DeSantis and by association Florida.

-
Based on Biden’s current dismal polling results, one might wonder why the Democrats are so keen on running Biden against Trump, but then, just look back at the November 2020’s surprise.
-
Trump persevered through a significant primary in 2020.
Not clear who will seriously challenge him in the 2024 primary and how that will unfold.
-
Not clear who will challenge Biden; California’s Newsome seems ready if called upon and would be a significant challenger to Biden and Trump.
-
Hopefully many voters have an open mind at this early juncture.

Company looking to restore dead nuclear power plant in Michigan for first time in US history
The 800-megawatt nuclear power facility generated roughly 5% of Michigan's electricity.

The Palisades Nuclear Generating Station would be the first U.S. nuclear reactor to restart after its fuel has been removed, and its license revised to prohibit further operation.

The ‘rush to flush’ the current nuclear and fossil-fuel electric grid power systems has collided with the reality that so called renewable energy is far, far, far from ready for prime-time 24-7-365 grid service.
Shutting down current systems in the foreseeable future is a fools-errand and criminally negligent. Where will all those driving this malfeasance be when the rolling blackouts hit your home and business?

French twist: Emmanuel Macron cozies up to Chinese Communist Party
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2023/apr/25/french-twist-emmanuel-macron-cozies-up-to-chinese-/?utm_campaign=shareaholic&utm_medium=email_this&utm_source=email
Is France still an ally of the United States? Based on Emmanuel Macron’s three-day state visit to the People’s Republic of China earlier this month, the answer to that question is in doubt.
Alluding to Mr. Xi’s intention to displace the U.S. as a global leader, Mr. Macron reportedly told Mr. Xi that “France does not pick sides.”

Not since the American Revolution have we been able to depend on the French, and that appears to be more about France hating England than actually being on our side.
-
The French were a disaster in WW1 with their failures almost resulting in the anniliation of England's forces at Dunkirk.
-
Winston Churchill found it necessary to destroy the French navy at the start of WW2 because the Vichy-French were collaborators with the Nazi’s.
-
On my deployment to Germany in the early 60’s De Gaulle kicked NATO HQ out of France at the very time the Russians had 2-million troops and 60-thousand tanks at the West German border.

Emmanuel Macron was with Xi Jinping in Guangdong on Friday during the French president’s three-day state visit to China.
Emmanuel Macron has flown into a storm of criticism after he said Europe should not become a “vassal” and must avoid being drawn into any conflict between the US and China over Taiwan.

Why the U.S. can't build EVs without China
https://www.axios.com/2023/04/12/why-us-cant-build-evs-without-china
The Biden administration's effort to spur domestic battery manufacturing is running into a problem: Some critical raw materials are only found abroad, and China controls much of the supply.
What they're saying: "Hardworking Americans should not be forced to subsidize Chinese companies that make batteries for electric vehicles that cost more than most people make in a year," Rubio said in a statement.

In latest move to boost EVs, Biden is downgrading the ridiculously overstated EV fuel ratings to somehow compel consumers to buy EV instead of gas-diesel vehicles.

Hunter’s Righteous LapTop Has Everlasting-Life, Depth and Breadth

Now it’s time to exit stage left so that the growing-Biden-negativity doesn’t get transferred back to the Obama’s via Susan.

Biden to hike payments for good-credit homebuyers to subsidize high-risk mortgages

Within my memory, and I’m as old as dirt, we have been encouraged to be fiscally responsible; Live within our means and guard our credit reputation (recently credit score).
The New Biden paradigm: those with a good credit score will now pay a premium on their new mortgage to subsidize those with a bad credit score.
That’s right --- those who live responsibly are to subsidize those who don’t.
All fits into the new Democrat-American ‘equity’ system.
https://www.naceweb.org/about-us/equity-definition/
For those unfamiliar with these concepts the reference manual is:
Das Kapital by Karl Marx circa 14 September 1867.
It’s a powerful message that overtook Russia and China and Cuba.
Apparently that's where Biden and Democrats want to drive us!

-
-
Climate is Not weather and weather is only Climate when taken over extended time of many years.
The US is exposed to La Ninas and El Ninos that have major influence over weather.
These major weather drivers are cyclic and do not determine short-time climate!

Biden administration moves forward with major F-16 equipment deal for Turkey

The Biden administration wants to sell Turkey aviation software upgrades for its current fleet of F-16 fighter aircraft in a deal valued at $259 million. The White House this week notified Congress of its intent to close the deal.
The deal would help bring Turkey’s F-16s up to NATO standards and improve its ability to operate alongside allies, according to the Defense Security Cooperation Agency.
-
-
-
Turkey, a very powerful Muslim military presence in Mideast, has proved itself to be a totally unreliable NATO partner and has demonstrated its commitments to Russia and to antiUS Muslim Jihadists.

On behalf of Sadam Husain, they blocked our interdiction of Sadam’s Republican Guards retreat to Bagdad. They have provided Russia with a navy port and bought and deployed Russian S400 air-defense missiles.
The list goes on -- so – why give them more military equipment? To fight who?
