Frogs can sense rain. How useless.

On the other hand, Jonathan Livingston Seagulls can sense gravity waves and dark matter, they harvest zero-point energy and fly to Mars, Jupiter, using CRISPR mutate themselves to grow gills so that they can swim in the acid lakes of Titan, colonize rings of Saturn, fly to Proxima Centauri at 0.99*C., and even invent machines to create large stable wormholes on demand. Very useful stuff. We have to wait till 20500. :mrgreen:

Trump begins to discover the comprehensive immigration reform that has been talked about since George Bush Jr. times, if not before:

YouTube transcript of Trump presser:
..."today I put out a statement today about farmers our farmers are being hurt badly by you know they have very good workers they've worked for them for 20 years they they're not citizens but they've turned out to be you know great and we're going to have to do something about that we can't take farmers and take all their people and send them back because they don't have maybe what they're supposed to have maybe not and you know what's going to happen and what is happening they get rid of some of the people cuz you know you go into a farm and you look and people don't they've been there for 20 25 years and they've worked great and the owner of the farm loves them and everything else and then you're supposed to throw them out and you know what happens they end up hiring the people the criminals that have come in the murderers from prisons and everything else so we're we're going to have a an order on that pretty soon i think we can't do that to our farmers and leisure too hotels uh we're going to have to use a lot of common sense on that

Looks like some people here are not reading long posts with quotes and references to sources on this very same topic. We go round and round. Yes immigration reforms were talked about long before Dubya. Eve temporary bnan aids were applied in lieu of making reforms. Every POTUS tries to reform but ends up getting bogged down in the congress.

Exactly. It'll discard Pakistan as soon as it's objectives in Iran are achieved.

True but with the caveat that Republicans in the Congress won't cross Trump. Only the libertarians like Massey or Rand Paul stand up to the guy, but the won't for immigration. The hard right maga crowd will bend the knee.

Obviously. The "Foes" list comes in very handy. One only sees quotable quotes.

Siapji
There in lies the double edged sword for Jihadis
Now that a brethren has been struck and that too by Yahood how will they allow Shaitan to use their bases.
And if they do it will be an Sunni Shia conflict with wider implications
Either way jihadis may get some money and toys but will loose big time amoingst the Ummah!! as its not like targetting Al Queda or Taliban or ISIL

Ben & Jerry’s co-founders unveil an ice cream flavor for Vice President and Democrat Presidential Candidate Kamala Harris
Malai Ice Cream, 16 January 2021

Introducing Madam Vice President!

This ice cream honors Kamala Harris East and West Indian roots, with a nod to the meaning of her name (kamala means lotus in Sanskrit).

We think that a coconut mango ice cream with jaggery-candied lotus seeds is exactly the dessert that should be served on Air Force 2!


This limited-edition flavor will be available until Jan 31st

https://www.facebook.com/malaiicecream/ ... 193444263/


I have an idea for what could be done with the lotus stem ....... :mrgreen:

This is good round up many topics on US provided by PGurus.

There is information on US-China deal, the riots of LosAngeles, CA, USA and who is paying for them. BTW protests are spreading in other cities of US. Iran threats and more. The US China deal seems to center itself on rare earth supply. Apparently China students will be allowed to educated themselves in US universities, and Emperor's daughter needs to be in one. The deep state faction of US wanting china relations are the ones who pushed for the deal. Some of their investments are stuck in China and they need to recoup them. This would delay the move of companies into India from China. India has to redouble efforts to make all components and trinkets for the global market.

^^^^ no, we just don’t pay attention to trivia.

Also, to point out that the news was that Trump was tending to rediscover immigration reform, and not that BRF had been discussing it endlessly.

Omaha food plant owner who lost half his workforce in ICE raids says he followed rules for hiring immigrants
The owner of an Omaha food packaging company says his business has been unfairly hamstrung by federal immigration officials, who raided the plant and arrested more than half its workforce.

The raid took place despite the company meticulously following the government's own system for verifying the workers were in the country legally, owner Gary Rohwer said Wednesday.

Glenn Valley Foods now is operating at about 30% of capacity as the business scrambles to hire more workers, Rohwer said as he stood outside the plant.

Gavin Newsom locks horns with Trump in a politically defining moment
Newsom's 2028 presidential aspirations hang in the balance as the eyes of the nation are on California's clash with immigration authorities.

June 10, 2025, 2:39 PM CDT / Updated June 10, 2025, 8:51 PM CDT
By Jonathan Allen and Natasha Korecki
Amid immigration raids, peaceful protests, attacks on law enforcement officers and the threat of his own arrest by federal agents, California Gov. Gavin Newsom is immersed in what could be the most consequential political fight of his career.

The battle between the president and the governor of the country’s largest state instantly turned Newsom into the face of resistance to President Donald Trump’s expansive interpretation of the authorities of his office and mass-deportation campaign. Newsom, who is a potential 2028 Democratic presidential candidate, has been taking heavy criticism from within his own party over his efforts — in part through his new podcast — to cast himself in the role of conciliator.
...
On Monday, California sued Trump for using emergency powers to deploy National Guard troops to the Los Angeles area over the weekend. Trump, citing a statute that allows the president to activate the guard to repel a foreign invasion or quell a rebellion, accused Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass of failing to protect federal agents and property from demonstrators.

Newsom has slammed the step as escalatory and said existing law enforcement could have handled any violence or destruction. He argued that the move was “purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions” and that there was “currently no unmet need.”

Speak for yourself. Even there you fail going by your efforts to find the missing Malaysian Airlines Aircraft by going through thousands or even millions of scans made by the mapping aircraft at that time. Are you still searching like some Japanese soldiers on some island who didn't know WW II had ended?

Please note that the aircraft had been found. a couple (?) of years back. :mrgreen:

It is rich coming from someone who spams BRF with every small detail of every small lawsuit against Trump but makes molehills of mountins of Bidens' corruption and KD's world salads.
