So the about the recall election tomorrow. Ready for anything but the problem the greens have is that they are rolling uphill. So these are recall elections so they are trying to flip seats that voted blue in 2024 to turn them green.
Here is the thing. Maybe Xi is lying, and is just talking peace and trade to sound good. However, the US is at the point where they can't even tell convincing lies. Just listen to anything that the US says and its endless war and demands to squeeze money.
"This is what a leader should sound like; bridging divides in people and thought, inspiring cooperation & collaboration; not constantly talking about themselves, spouting lies and cheering on wars and destruction ..." I agree with this comment.
One weird quirk of Texas is that because it was once an independent nation, most public lands and resources are owned by the state government and not the Federal govt and Texas used oil revenue to invest in a world class university system which educated me.
Why did Texas succeed in leapfrogging from resource extraction to broad-based economic development, while its similarly resource-rich neighbors (Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma) all conspicuously failed?
You know. Those of us on the patriot side figured out in 2019 that the West was just using you guys for their own purposes and that they would stab you in the back the moment you stopped being convenient to them. Live and learn.
Haven't talked too much about the Great Recall. There is what I *hope* will happen and then there is what actually will happen, and I don't know what really will happen, and talking about what I hope will happen will set me up for a fall if it doesn't happen.
