Technically, living in Marseille, I could go skiing in the morning (the closest ski station in 2 hours from here) and go to the beach in the afternoon. Well... I never did.
The firings have begun. https://apnews.com/article/governme...rker-firings-0439e8d0979d9a32e021c5c851fea1cf The White House budget office said Friday that mass firings of federal workers have started in an attempt to exert more pressure on Democratic lawmakers in the ongoing government shutdown. Russ Vought, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, said on the social media site X that the “RIFs have begun,” referring to reduction-in-force plans aimed at reducing the size of the federal government. Where you ask? The Education Department is among the agencies hit by new layoffs... ... Federal health workers were also being fired Friday, though a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services spokesman did not say how many or which agencies were being hit hardest. And an official for the American Federation of Government Employees, who is suing the Trump administration over the firings, said in a legal filing Friday that the Treasury Department is set to issue layoff notices to 1,300 employees. Notices of firings have also taken place at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency... And in related news, the Dow is down over 750 points, and NASDAQ id down over 700 points at of this post. Good job, Trump.
I'm gonna guess Lapeer County at the furthest south, the Thumb (Which is it's own type of crazy), or a place like Kalkaska. Usually the people I know that moved further north are people retiring to their vacation home (One person I know retired to their home in Traverse City ten years ago) or people just want peace and quiet.
I can't wait to see local police arrest an ICE agent for *gesture vaguely at litany of crimes* and turns out he is a Proud Boy pardoned for insurrection.
Manufactured about 30 miles from me. My brother had an old BSA, (don't know the model), in the late 60's but it only lasted about a week before it fell apart. It was ancient when he bought it. TBF it might have been more to do with my brother than the bike.
Yes, our elections will be safe. https://apnews.com/article/dominion...acy-theories-fed1e2d7f00b264bf5f8e01a106124f1 Voting equipment company Dominion Voting Systems, a target of false conspiracy theories from President Donald Trump and his supporters since the 2020 election, has been bought by a firm run by a former Republican elections official, the new company announced Thursday. The newly formed company, Liberty Vote, also vowed to follow the executive order Trump signed last spring seeking sweeping changes to election policies that multiple judges have put on hold for violating the Constitution.

The Chinese don't care at this point and that's on top of the docking fee collected by them on all US ships at their ports. Trump has no answers and he'll blink
With their hold on rare earth that could cripple US tech sector including their military, looks like checkmate to me
NBC reporting tonight that Bolton is next up. Probably within days. As I expected. After that, I think Smith and Schiff is a toss up. Brennan is a dark horse too. I'm doubtful on Cheney and Kinzinger in the short term due to pardons.
Stolen from elsewhere: "Donald Trump can still win the Noble Peace Price if Mike Pence has the courage to do the right thing."
