“The award is China’s highest decoration for foreign nationals and was presented during Vucic’s five-day state visit, which began on May 24.
Xi described Vucic as a “creator and firm defender” of China–Serbia relations, saying the two countries’ “steel friendship” had withstood “blood and fire”. Vucic thanked him “for everything achieved so far”, according to statements released after the meeting.”

Best explanation I’ve heard for effort to get money from Congress for Ballroom project — remember that Trump has said all along it will be privately financed.
The $1 billion figure is a budget request for the Secret Service — not the Ballroom. But part of that number is $200 million for the Ballroom to provide security features to assist Secret Service operations.
The ONLY reason for this is to short-circuit the judicial injunction now in place by Judge Leon saying Congress must authorize the Ballroom.
Cont…
If you’d watched the video of President Trump showing people around the area you would know that the money coming from congress is indeed for defense and the ballroom is going to be paid by him and donors.
Setting up the Squared Circle at the White House
Apparently, President Trump has restarted the Hot, Kinetic War with Iran, BUT is calling the action Self-Defense.
sounded like self defense to me. What would you do if someone attacked you? Retreat?
A touch more detail – the ships were caught laying mines and the SAM sites targeted US planes.

Have long said they should use fire hoses on those idiots at facilities – the colder the water the better.

A very good idea!!
Another win for the health of Americans – especially the young who have no choice who are without someone to stand up for them.
Excellent! Now, how about we get rid of High Fructose Corn Syrup next? Sounds like a great plan to me.
“Non-profits”
It seems most dentists in our area won’t take our Delta premium insurance anymore without a big co-payment.
The co-payment is determined by the insurance company Sooz, not the provider. Through work I have a different dental provider, but they suck too when you have to have anything done other than a simple checkup – and have a ridiculously low maximum. Then again – to employees it’s pretty cheap ( < $10/month).
If you don’t mind me asking, have you had any improvement with your health situation?

🚨 WTF?! Anti-ICE rioters set up an INSPECTION CHECKPOINT outside ICE Newark, and is ONLY letting vehicles in that don’t have detainees inside
Cont and video…
Why aren’t they being arrested for obstruction?
And destruction by digging up bricks. Spoiled brats need a very hard lesson.
Let me know when they actually try to tell one of the vehicles they can’t pass through – it’ll be entertaining 😉
Good night America how are ya?

Sad news from Kankakee:

All human lives are precious – and far too many are lost nowadays to drunk, illegal, and distracted drivers (3 unconnected things that do occur in combination at times).
Thankful and blessed myself – and you?
Yes and yes…with a Guardian angel that needs a payraise!
Maybe you might put in a good word with their boss 😉
Is that bahahahaha or mahahahaham?
This one makes me cry.
And then…’can we please get mama shorn’?
Hopefully a happy cry!
Mamma might need that coat to keep the little one warm at night – you don’t want her to look like the big lug in the background, do ya? ;p
