What do you think about Pelosi visiting Taiwan? It is not clear (at the time I'm posting) if she will actually touch down there or not. The two schools of thought are, don't poke the bear (China - maybe "dragon" would be better) vs. U.S. can't be seen as being bullied by China. China is huffing and puffing - don't know what they would do if she does pay a visit.
Gingrich visited Taiwan 25 years ago, so it's been a while.

lani, A story I read says she plans on meeting with Taiwan's president on Wednesday. I hope it goes well. I do think that Chinese jets will be flying around her plane and also our jets will be flying around her plane. China will do something, how serious, I don't know.

Kansas voters reject removing abortion right language from state constitution. By approx. 60% to 40%. I needed some hope. Thank you Kansas. There was an overwhelming turnout to vote; 58% of voters were women. It can be done.

I know. This is off the top of my head, but I think I saw that KS has 350,000 (could be more) more registered Republicans than Democrats. Might be more like 380,000.

That is the biggest and most insincere thing anyone can say, imho!
The translation is, "All I will do for you is sit here and ask a spirit in the sky, if there is one, to do something to help you and comfort you. I'm not getting involved in your life and I'm not lifting a finger to help. May that Spirit comfort, help, and bless you. See you around."
BS as usual is more like it! They make me gag just looking at their ugly, lying, twisted faces.
It is a terrifying thing to know these are the people who represent US to the rest of the world. Patheric too.

lani, Heard that. She just didn't have anyone in her life to point out that drugs were illegal in Russia, and I guess she isn't sophisticated enough to know she should have found that out before she packed.

My understanding is it was medical CBD with a very low THC amount, but I agree, anyone traveling to Russia should be aware of dire possibilities. I blame the WNBA for not keeping all their players informed and warned. But Russia is going to the mat on this to mess with the U.S. in retaliation for sanctions on them and our support of Ukraine, and just for any opportunity to be an irritant.

I have to admit, after watching just parts of the alex jones trial, I do think each count of perjury should be 10 years behind bars.

lani, I'm confused about her charges because she said cbd oil, but the charges are for hashish - so does that mean the concentration of THC? If so, I imagine that also played into her charges.
