Power, strategy, whatever. Does having a body detached running foreign affairs sound reasonable? No. Keep the policy at the WH.
There are more ‘experts’ to sift through. Soggy Bottom needs to be changed.

I’ll vote for whomever wins the Primary but I won’t vote for the incumbent during the primary.
Neither Eric Schmidt nor Josh Hawley are getting my vote this time.
Do nothing show boat MFkrs.
My State Rep isn’t either.
Mayor? Rat bastard.
City council? More bastards.
Dog catcher better update his resume too.
County Sheriff is the only one that has earned my vote.

Morn’n TC. Looks like you and I have the same plan for the election. Except here the Sheriff is a loser too

Open notice to President Trump (and those in his orbit), do you know Tyson CEO Donnie King? Can you influence this decision to close a plant and destroy a small town? World peace is a great accomplishment, but what about these people?

Nebraska Hospital CEO: Tyson’s “Spreadsheet Decision” Will Devastate Health Care
In a scathing letter to Tyson CEO Donnie King, Lexington hospital CEO Jason Douglas said the company’s decision to leave will devastate health care in the area. “You made a spreadsheet decision … and 3,200 families became nothing more than a line item.”

It would be interesting to know the demographics of that workforce…

Thanks, Boss, for story about Jim Beam layoffs. Sounds like tariffs are a component of the decision. I grew up in that area & have returned twice recently. It has seemed that things were booming in the bourbon industry. It makes me want to learn much more.

“South African authorities are investigating the whereabouts of around 20 African men who were allegedly misled into fighting for Russia in Ukraine. FRANCE 24 has reviewed a letter from former president Jacob Zuma, testimony from a father in Botswana and analysis from a defence expert to understand what happened to the men and who may be involved.”
