Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Everyone is Irish today!
Parades galore.
The first St. Patrick’s Day Parade not an American thing per se. Though it did occur on what became American soil. The first Parade took place in 1762 in New York City. Irish members of the British Army decided to celebrate their patron Saint’s Day.
Frolic all day. Drink green beer. Enjoy corned beef and cabbage.
A bit of a Louis St. Patrick’s Day joke. Greenland has green in its name. Apropos therefore that on this day Greenland offers to buy the U.S.
Doesn’t read as funny as it did in my mind. Fits, however.
Don’t screw with Canada! Tough stand up people. Trump is not scaring them. They are meeting his force with force plus more.
Basic methods of transport from the U.S. to Alaska have been free. Roads, waterways. An act of friendship.
No more. Canada has blocked all free routes. Still remain available, but now cost money. Whoever using, must pay. Affects business and personal use.
Trump obviously did not see this one coming.
Is a Trump confrontation with the Judiciary at hand?
On saturday, a Federal District Court Judge in Washington, D.C. made it unequivocally clear in an oral order from the bench that chartered flights in the air on their way to Venezuela with Venezuelan gang members were to turn around…..if the planes had not yet landed. He also ordered no further such flights. He followed his decision with a written order, but made it clear from the bench that a written order was not required.
The Judge’s order was not adhered to. Ignored.
Two planes were in the air when the order was made. A third had not yet taken off when the written order had been made.
A White House official pushed back at the validity of the Judge’s order saying a single judge should not have the power to usurp the President’s authority: “We believe this is a baseless legal ruling no matter when the flights took off.”
The matter is back before the Federal Judge in D.C. tuesday and wednesdy. I bet my money on the Judge. You do not screw with a Federal Judge in D.C. or elsewhere. The most powerful judge in the Nation. Even more so than a U.S. Supreme Court Justice.
Measles getting out of hand. Kennedy will be no help, nor will Trump who appointed him. An epidemic of gigantic proportions could be brewing.
Trump touching everything. He screwed up Kennedy Center’s Board. Took over control in effect. Things have not been the same since. Today he is going to preside over its Board meeting.
Donald’s plate is full. The raging tariff wars, Ukraine, bombs falling on the Middle East, his hands in everything world wide. Too much for one man to handle. Even a Donald Trump.
In a brilliant Opinion piece in the New York Times March 11th, Brent Stephens wrote: “Democracy dies in dumbness.” The title of his work the same.
Read the piece. It is right on.
Stephens nails Trump’s erroneous moves which are leading us down the path of democratic destruction.
In closing, I address the Key West Airport which I have written and spoken about in the past.
I begin: Just what Key West needs! Another airline! We have too many already!
Key West Airport, even as being remodeled, is not sufficiently large to handle all the airlines flying in. Bringing with them tons of tourists, business travelers and residents. A fire disaster in the making.
Key West as a community is overloaded now. Whereas real estate prices are falling all over Florida, Key West’s remain high. Workers cannot afford to live here. People moving out because it has become for most too expensive to live here.
Will our community leaders ever learn?
Enjoy your St. Patrick’s Day!
Standing up for the right of Venezuelan gang members, in this country illegally, to stay in the U.S. is not exactly a winning position for the Dems to take. Yet another 80/20 issue where they’re on the wrong side. If they want to get back in power, maybe they should pay attention to the majority of Americans.
N, “big steive” – Standing up for America and it’s laws. You are the one twisting things. No one person should run this country by his/her will, outside the process.
Who is saying they are Venezuelan gang members and not just people Trump doesn’t like and is running another one of his scams for show only.
Stop the stench and do it right, or one day they’ll come for you too, maybe in the middle of the night.
The “majority” of Americans have never voted for Trump.
I wonder if “BigStevieJ” is Irish. We definitely should have kept THEM out of America.
Trump should deport ALL the Micks
Will our community leaders ever learn?
It should read “Will our voters ever learn to vote my way”
Do not blame me I do not pay $6.00 per hour park on Duval area.
I can’t through a twenty on the bar for a $8 meal. Your action speak louder than your words.
Gas in Boston today $2.65.9
Cheaper than Guines.
That’s Guinness and don’t forget it’s a blue state, still with blue state prices and still under Biden’s fuel policies.
“On March 16 Forever 21 filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy for the second time in six years. Filing in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, Del., the company cited competition from foreign brands as a big driver.”
Maybe there will be fewer chain stores in in Town.
Need less in help
and less in housing. problem solved.
And China will go broke, no Americans to sell to.
Forever 21 is a marginal wanabe and has been in trouble, one way or another for about forever, with constant and questionable ‘corporate’ maneuverings. Their existence as an “outlet” store in Florida City (of all places) is an example of that.
They have a habit of constantly closing stores without notice and have never really put down roots anywhere.
They are a perfect example of corporate football and t heir failure is of no real surprise to anyone.
By the way, the last time they went out of business was in Trump’s first term.
Lou posted Donald’s plate is full. The raging tariff wars, Ukraine, bombs falling on the Middle East, his hands in everything world wide. Too much for one man to handle. Even a Donald Trump.
Trump has long employed “shotgun” tactics. Saturating us with his inane rantings, promises and threats. This is no different, it allows him a distraction and increased the chance that some of his demented policy will get by.
