Al Green saying "I 'member the 60s!" just now in the congress building over Trump apparently cutting Medicaid, yep that's relevant!
All that present-day living in the 1960s and shouting that they remember the '60s, they lived the '60s, only goes to prove that the Dems are the party of the geriatric set.
 
CMA CGM is the thrid largest container shipper in the world after MSC and Maersk.

  • CMA CGM’s significant investment strengthens its historical maritime transport and logistics partnership with the United States, supporting the economy, boosting American exports, and creating 10,000 new jobs.
  • This strategic commitment will foster U.S. shipbuilding capabilities, expand port infrastructure, grow logistics networks, and develop air cargo services.

CMA CGM Group, a global leader in sea, land, air, and logistics solutions, and owner of the U.S. flag carrier American President Lines (APL), today announced a $20 billion investment to contribute to U.S. maritime economy and support the transformation of America’s domestic supply chain over the next four years. This announcement builds on CMA CGM Group’s 35-year presence in the U.S. Today, the Group operates in 40 states and employs 15,000 Americans. As a leading partner in U.S. trade, CMA CGM transports over 5 million shipping containers to and from the country each year.

Rodolphe Saadé, Chairman and CEO of CMA CGM Group, said: “I am proud to build on our long-standing relationship with the United States through this commitment of $20 billion to the country’s maritime future and logistics capabilities. Over the next four years, we will significantly grow our U.S.-flagged fleet, expand the capacity of key container ports on both coasts, develop state-of-the-art warehousing across the country, and establish a significant air cargo hub in Chicago. This will create 10,000 new American jobs and further strengthen our partnership with American customers and public authorities.”

Foster U.S. shipbuilding by growing US-flagged fleet and maritime jobs​

As part of this new program, CMA CGM Group will contribute to the development of American maritime capabilities through a range of targeted investments. It advances the U.S. Administration’s recently-announced priority to strengthen American shipbuilding capabilities. This includes bolstering APL’s U.S. flag capacity and enhancing maritime resources with new jobs, skills, and technologies. These commitments will reinforce APL’s position as the leading carrier for U.S. government cargo transportation, while also ensuring the safe, open, and reliable access to the oceans necessary to promote America’s economic and national security ambition.

Expanding container ports on the East and West coasts​

The Group will also develop port infrastructure in key locations across the U.S., including New York, Los Angeles, Dutch Harbor, Houston, and Miami. These investments will contribute to efficient operations and supply chains, accelerated digitization and improved connectivity, and increased safety for port workers and cargo.

Opening state-of-the-art warehouses and automotive logistics platform​

This investment will improve U.S. logistics and supply chain infrastructure through the development of state-of-the-art warehousing and automotive logistics platforms across the country. These contributions will help ensure the security and reliability of the domestic supply chain, while also advancing U.S. leadership in logistics.

Creating an air cargo hub in Chicago​

As part of this investment, CMA CGM Group will also expand American air cargo capacity. Anchored by a new hub in Chicago, the Group will deploy five new Boeing 777 freighters, operated by American pilots, to strengthen U.S. trade and connectivity and ensure the reliable transport of critical and time-sensitive goods.

Accelerating R&D investment and innovation in logistics​

To remain at the forefront of innovation, CMA CGM will open a new logistics R&D hub in Boston, focusing on advanced robotics and automation solutions. Developed in collaboration with leading American technology partners, this innovation hub will optimize logistics services to ensure the best service quality for our American customers.

Mexico asked nicely and said they'd work with us,
Well they are working with us. The task force and them just handing over 29 cartel members to the FBI. There are no more "caravans". I think we are going to see more cross border operations fighting the cartels at some point. Getting them under control would benefit both country's. The reality is there is only so much the Mexican government can do at this point, they don't even fully control all of their territory now.

The canadians on the other hand are just fucking retarded and think they have leverage.
 
The SF Conservatory of Music decided back in 2020 after the martyrdom of St. Floyd of Fentanyl that darkies be needing help an sheeit. One part of this initiative was launching the "Emerging Black Composers Project" to address systemic racism in classical music.
It’s so strange hearing this knowing that the head of their composition department is a pretty right wing guy. He once privately told me something to the effect of a country that can’t even decide its own gender can’t write good music.
Regardless, most American conservatories are doing something to the effect of “think of the heckin niggerinos” because their performance departments are directed by some of the worst theatre kid libshit types imaginable. They either haven’t caught on to or refuse to accept DEI being dead.

There are good Black composers
Where? There aren’t even really any good American composers period, narrowing it down to blacks makes it even worse.
 
I've long thought that the far majority of really rabid anti-jew anti-Israel posters on /pol/ were in fact JIDF types.
This reminds me how some rabid anti-Christian "Just a Jewish psyop" dude, Adam Green I think, tried proving it by bringing on a rabbi into one of his podcasts and talking with him about how Christianity is a Jewish psyop.

Sheinbaum strikes me as someone who understands realpolitik. To become the female, Jewish President of Mexico speaks to that. She's also got a masters in physics and a PhD in energy engineering which included thesis work at Berkeley Lab, so I think it's safe to say she's not a complete idiot.

Canadians on the other hand? Good luck leafs, get ready for the rake.
 
looking forward to it being veto'ed by Hungary.

How are they going to pay for it? Europe's entire ego rests on their welfare state. How will their citizens react when they can't wait 12 hours with a TBI to get free healthcare anymore?
Forget paying for it. They still buy 60-80 billion dollars of natural gas every year from Russia, post sanctions. The EU sends more money to Russia than Ukraine.
They need to be able to be ready for Russia to embargo THEM, not the other way around.
 
I just came in to say that I somehow typed the word "to" like a stenographer and no one in Trump's current administration better get on that frickin' Starship and save those astronauts. That would be foolish, send Vivek instead! It's a win win, it would be infamous no matter what happens.

Reactions: spinal gas chamber
No, as I said I’m not a Catholic. I stand corrected but do you expect most Americans to know about Catholic rites?
Yes. Tf?

Modern political outlook has been so warped by social media BPD-ness
We need to start bringing back mandated civics classes in schools*. There is too much idiocy and ignorance spouting off.

* Oops, no DoE, no can do.
I'm beyond sick and tired of the Democrats constantly whining that Trump is going to cut Medicaid when Trump has said countless of times that he's not cutting Medicaid and he's only securing it from fraud.
You cannot be that innocent. Do you know the word "euphemism"? Or "lie"? Or, "I don't have a plan, but by gum, that chainsaw gag was genius; feels great"?

Some democrat bitch was whining earlier today about Trump cutting department of education saying "in the 60s black children had to be escorted to schools by federal officers!" What relevance does that have to Trump cutting Department of Education? Fucking retards.
Christ. If you can't connect the dots of something that isn't necessarily a 1:1/literal equation, whether you like it or not, you're lost. But OK: she put those things together because back 25 years before Andrew Jackson's Department of Education was elevated to a Cabinet-level agency after consolidating disparate and chaotic elements of other agencies in 1979, people had to sue states for desegregated schools. Brown v Board of Education, heard of it? Rhetorical, and see my comment immediately above. It happened in 1954, and it was a (unanimous) Supreme Court decision that confirmed segregation in schools illegal (unconstitutional). States' pre- and post-Brown disregard of the Constitution - and a time when children and children did have to be escorted to their rightful school by Federal officers - is one factor of why DoE became the overarching Federal agency it did - all of which pointed up the necessity for certain Federal agencies to be able to lay down and enforce certain requirements applicable throughout the United States...because states enforcing unconstitutional laws is bad. It can be debated whether DoE executes well, or overreaches, or whether education should be a Cabinet-level agency, but Idgaf what your opinion of it is, you should have been able to comprehend the connection being made - or at least have been curious enough to go look it up if you're going to try to slam the "dumb bitch" who mentioned it.
 
he left is fighting the meme war the way it worked back when they were young, and everything was about mass media and mass movements. In some ways it's like watching the Polish mounted cavalry charge against the Panzers of the German Blitzkrieg.
The thing you’re talking about never happened. That’s propaganda Mannheim made up based on this:

Through ww2, Brit marines still carried cutlasses for boarding enemy vessels, everyone had bayonets, and melee sidearms were just still a fucking thing. See: pfp

If you’re on a horse anyways, it’s pretty hard to aim a rifle while the horse is moving. If an infantry position has cover, it’s better to run out wide and flank around the cover. Even better than that is if you can do it quickly. Horses are pretty quick.

So if you’re on a horse and moving quickly, and you’re going to have a melee sidearm, why the fuck wouldn’t you just make it a long pointy stick so you don’t have to dismount to fucking hit anyone?

This was even in the first battlefield game

So exhausting. “Poles r dum cuz dey charge tanks lul”

I heard “poles r dum” jokes my entire childhood because a Nazi lied

Btw, uhlan translates to lancer, but they didn’t just have lances

You might be a decentralized currency, but you will never escape the Reserve. All this talk about crypto does get me a little 🌈 for a new SSN that is blockchain based for American Citizens. I'm sure many would like their identities back from pablo.

Edit:
Also I just been updated that Donald Trump signed an EO that reduced the percentage of tarrifs on auto manufacturing parts? and potash for farmers? Maybe someone in the WH does visit the Kiwifarms and hear the people. Or reactionary sperging never works out, but I'll always laugh at it.

In the Japs defense their constitution, the one the US forced on them after the war, does not allow the Japs to have a standing army, navy or airforce. They were allowed a tiny self defense force by the US in the treaty but that was it. So no way could they spend 3% on defense unless they handed every JSDF solider a gold M-16.

It was only 3 years ago they were allowed to alter the constitution to permit them to raise actual fighting forces. So yah give them some time and Japan will be a powerful ally in the East.
