The sooner China makes passenger jets and wrecks lying Boeing, the better.

And yet again, Boeing hid dangers. The sooner China starts making passenger jets, the better.
Breaking News: Boeing knew about flaws in the model of a plane that crashed in Louisville, Kentucky, killing 15 last year, the transportation safety board said.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

Crummy Bonnie lied that the protesters had “infiltrated” the hospital. Actually they stayed outside, and an investigation resulted in no charges. She never had the grace to apologize for lying. www.thestar.com/news/gta/tor...

Bonnie Crummy is gone. She lost my respect when she said war protesters invaded a Jewish hospital, and refused to apologize when video proved her wrong. Liar, be gone! 🤥

Hey, I’ve seen this show before!

This would be a great time for 🇨🇦 🇧🇷 🇲🇽 🇪🇺 to form a cohesive alliance and leave the MAGA Masturbators to pleasure themselves.

Pretty big move, banning Brazilians from the 🇺🇸.

I expect 🇧🇷 will ban Americans, as it has long had a policy of reciprocity.

If you’re paying double or even triple for health insurance, blame Trump and the Senate GOP.

As Legault draws his last living breaths, I hope his non-white nurses find time to taunt him to death just like Joyce Echaquan was. He deserves it.

Iran’s religious government is probably going to fall. Good.

But ONLY if America’s and Israel’s equally religious and disgusting governments keep their war criminal hands out of it, and don’t cause Iranians to rally against them instead.
