My sister @qinisovandamme makes fun of me all the time for speaking “old people’s English.”
Firmly part of my vocab:
Tomfoolery

Hogwash
Guttersnipe
Ne’er-do-well
Poppycock
Twaddle
Kerfuffle
Rigmarole
Gallivanting

Nincompoop
Rambunctious
I don’t know why or how but I was raised by two English teachers: my Mum and Grandma and read their respective libraries dry. 🤷🏾♀️
This woman, Lineo Nkhoua, paid her daughter Maletsatsi Ngouwa a stipend of R6000 per month as a SAPS "intern", while she was a full time student, by the persal number of a deceased person. After graduating, her daughter was immediately appointed as a warrant officer.
So, France has had a long tradition of technocratic government, arguably beginning in the late 1300s. The top graduates of the top universities go into government, not the private sector. Also, the French system is much more efficient. You don’t have the many conflicting jurisdictions that we Americans have. Mayors of cities are appointed officials from Paris. The result is that in nuts and bolts government services, the French deliver much more for lower costs.
American progressives often want the U.S. to be more like France, but we can’t be because our best people go into the private sector (on average). We are not culturally inclined to effective government. But the French are. That is why Piketty believes government can drive big solutions, and why most Americans think that’s nuts. It is why our government delivers very poor services at high cost, but our private sector is the best in the world.
Cirrus Aircraft, the most delivered piston aircraft manufacturer in America, has been wholly owned by the CCP's primary aerospace and defense conglomerate since 2011.
The same Chinese company that builds fighter jets and drones for the PLA has been sitting inside our aviation industry for nearly 15 years.
How did we let this happen?

@Lolita721611021 Most South Africans have never met a Zulu, and never been to KZN. We know the Zulu are a violent, fractious tribe - originally from Mozambique. They have made KZN a fractious and violent province. They must go home, go back to Moz where they come from.
@sarobertson_ North Dakota is doing just fine with it's equal representation in the senate and its reps in the house. We know our votes count. Unlike Canada where no one knows if the will of the people will be honored (not often lately) or totally ignored.
BOOM! "There's nothing bad about Trump in the Epstein files" — every MAGA toady with a profile pic of them hugging a flag.
BREAKING: Trump appears in the Epstein files OVER 5,000 TIMES. Victim testimonies. Criminal acts against minor girls. PHOTOS. Some were unalived to keep them quiet.
Y'all still gonna cape for this man?
If you do, you're not a patriot. You're complicit.
Yes I sold paintings. About $225,000 a year over four years. The whole of my business while my father was President. Congress investigated it.
If you’re outraged about that, where is all your outrage now?
Kushner's Affinity Partners holds roughly $5 to $6 billion. Close to 99% of it comes from foreign sovereign wealth funds. Saudi Arabia. The UAE. Qatar. Over $90M in fees annually.
Except that your lip drooling scenario isn’t real. Even 80 F35’s won’t make a difference in this dream of yours. They’ll just be disabled. The threat is Russian and Chinese long range bombers, and Grippens will do just fine with those.
This Gripen/F-35 argument is *ridiculous*
You are not fighting a Gripen against an F-35
Your bunker has to survive the B-2 strike, the special operations attacks, and then get off the ground before the B-52 craters your runway and the Idaho Air National Guard destroys everything else.
NOW, and only now, do you get to fight the F-22.
Bon chance.
@War_Radar2 Good luck with Gripens without the US F414 engine. It will take 4-5 years to switch over to a French engine and billions dollars. This is just stupid posturing by Carney. He thinks it gives him leverage over Trump.
@aidefranceukr@Tom_Antonov You faggots literally imported the Muslim world. You let your women get rapped daily and crime is soaring lol. Yall are a joke.
