  1. And now Colombia. Sanction vs. the President, his family and members of the government. And a pretty large cut in assistance. Most of alternative development (but that was USAID) and yep, anti-narcotics. 'We Do Not Kneel': Colombian President Defiant In Response To US Sanctions They are/were are #1 ally in the region. "We do not kneel. We will not take a step back," Colombian President Gustavo Petro tells his supporters at a rally on Bolivar Square in Bogota, as he and his family are placed on a US sanctions list. The US Treasury has blacklisted Gustavo Petro, first lady Veronica Alcocer, his eldest son Nicolas, and Interior Minister Armando Benedetti, banning them from travel to the United States and freezing any US assets they hold. The rupture caps months of personal friction between US President Donald Trump and Petro over US deportations and strikes on suspected drug boats off the coast of South America. https://www.barrons.com/news/we-do-not-kneel-colombian-president-defiant-in-response-to-us-sanctions-2670d3e5
  2. Melissa about to wreck Jamaica, parts of Cuba and poor Haiti. Melissa may reach Category 5, poses great danger to Jamaica, Cuba and Haiti Melissa is forecast to rapidly strengthen to a major hurricane over the Caribbean and could end up being one of the strongest of the season with lives and property in peril from Jamaica to Cuba and Haiti. https://www.accuweather.com/en/hurricane/tropical-storm-melissa-may-reach-category-5-poses-great-danger-to-jamaica-cuba-and-haiti/1828011 Latest models and forecast. https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/storminfo/
  3. Yes he did! And yes, that song sucked.
  4. Start drinking now. It will be fine.
  5. Furloughed.
  6. Himmler Notice no charges against the companies that hire illegals.
  7. Rain? Or Moonshine anticipating playing MSU?
  8. Shit, my trashcan is still on the street. Let me know if you find it please. Today was trash day and I did not pull it in. Nice light show, lots of sirens (usual for San Marcos on a Friday) but damn they are all over the place. Heard a few tree limbs go down.
  9. With the dead front lawn gonna be some nice mud flowing onto the sidewalk.
  10. Winds going ape shit in San Marcos. All directions.
  11. Just got the Tornado warning. NWS. Hays County. @NorthLoop
  12. I despise the overuse of adverbs. Hugely.
  13. Some people are going to have a fun night.
  14. SBBruin right now
  15. Yes and no. There is some of that. But there is also the payout and ability to get paid a lot than working in a cannery or gold mine. Plata y plomo usually applies to businesses and police/military. Most volunteer. I am not in agreement with the attacks. But lets be clear. A lot of those who do this, including American light aircraft pilots in the 1980's and 1990's did is for cash. An example. In the Chapare or Upper Huallaga the people who work at the pozos, where pasta basica is made, do it for jobs. They know their feet are going to rot up to their knees, but they do it. No one forces them. These are areas of incredible poverty and almost no infrastructure. So the kids take the jobs and walk on horrid chemicals (yeah, that is what is also going into your nose) until they can no longer do it.
  16. SecWar needs it to slick his hair back.
  17. My mom bought me a sealed Atari 5200 in NYC when they came out. From a store. Got home and it had rocks in it. We were flying in the AM so yeah, not much you can do. Buyer beware.
  18. Lots lost water for time when we froze. And a lot were too stupid to melt snow.
  19. It will be a nasty as war. Even if you take out Maduro and the core of the military, now you get guerillas. That is why I think our goal is going to be simple. Remove the government, take Maracaibo.
  20. Depends on the storm good Sir. After a hurricane you sure as hell need water.
  21. And fuck wrapping paper.
  22. Ummmm. Pentagon Orders Aircraft Carrier to the Caribbean WASHINGTON—The Pentagon said it is sending the Navy’s most advanced aircraft carrier to the Caribbean in a major escalation of the Trump administration’s military campaign to target drug smugglers and threaten governments in Latin America. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered the USS Gerald R. Ford carrier, which is currently deployed in the Mediterranean, to the Caribbean, bringing dozens more fighter and surveillance aircraft, along with other Navy warships that accompany a carrier, officials said. https://www.wsj.com/world/americas/pentagon-orders-aircraft-carrier-to-the-caribbean-545e3893
  23. Or just buy local. Fuck Amazon. Everyone is getting homemade soap for Christmas.
