Not sure where you're going w/China thing on this one. Musk is definitely the big tech giant who's not like the others. Free-market guy w/liberatarian spirit. Moved some projects & operations from CA & into Texas in protest of Newsome's authoritarianism. He also called-out Bezos & Amazon for initially suppressing former NY Times reporter Alex Berenson's C19 Unreported Truths.

Like usual you’re right. Looks like the China Tesla honeymoon may be ending. As far as no invite, maybe China bought some art from Hunter and part of the deal was no Telsa

Interesting. Million mile battery. CATL is owned by the State.

Amazing! MSNBC interviewed this guy this morning. Newsweek political activist Tom Rogers is colluding with US based multi-national CEO's to allow their conid19 work from home employees to avoid retuning to the office if they are willing to move to OH,GA,TX,AZ,NC,FL (swing states). It's estimated this group votes 2 to 1 Dem.

You have to wonder if allowing so many cases of Covid19 to cross the southern boarder might have something to do with this plan

NSA Awards Secret $10 Billion Contract to Amazon

No. Government has been utilizing AWS cloud services for years.

Amazon is hosting NSA's main data repositories. I hope it contains Hunter's third missing laptop. The one he thinks the Russians stole.

[thepostman]

Not quite how it works but if it fits into your very specific narrative, then sure, go with it.

[thepostman]

Cloud storage and diversifying it among commercial vendors is nothing new and isn't a sign of any kind of Big Tech hostile takeover. Amazon is far from the only player in the game but they are one of the best. It is odd that this is a thing you are worried or focused on when there are plenty of things you could be dunking on Biden about right about now.

Kind of like how poorly this comment aged...

Wow. Someone's on a chain email roll this morning.

It's the end of the world. One world government!

[Yacht Rock]

There are a lot of folks who don’t understand technology and allow themselves to get led around on an “outrage leash” by whoever they listen to.

And Postman is 100% right. There are real things to dunk on Biden about. It’s funny when folks focus on the non-events.

Amazing, we spent hundreds of billions if not trillions on the war in Afghanistan, specifically training their military to fight back against the Taliban, and in less than a week the Taliban seizes the other half of the country they didn't already hold power over. No one administration's fault since it was a 20-year war, but what a colossal waste of human life and resources.

[thepostman]

Plenty of blame to go around and Biden's team has handled this terribly but I also remember this questionable meeting. Easy to Monday morning QB this but seems like we played right into their hand.

https://af.usembassy.gov/secretary-pomp ... e-taliban/

But every president from the past 20 years, all 4 of them, shoulders blame here.

[lynchburgwildcats]

I want to know how you have the most advanced and powerful military in the world training another country for nearly 20 years and as soon as they take off the training wheels they fall apart more easily than a house of cards in the wind despite having a 4-to-1 advantage in troops. What a joke.

If that's how poor they trained the Afghan military, that doesn't exactly paint a rosy picture for the training practices with the US military, especially given all the military failures that the US has had since World War II. Think it's time to sound the alarm on the military and demanding significant structural changes or start cutting funding.

[TH Spangler]

Woke generals and intel are doing a good job. Where's Biden?

[thepostman]

This is 20 years in the making. If you're putting the blame on just one politician then you're just missing it.

There were a ton of failures there and a lot of reasons this was never going to be a success but "woke generals" has ZEEO to do with it. Turn off Tucker and show just a little respect to veterans who are really processing a ton of stuff the past week or so. I have friends who died there. I have friends who lost friends and family members there. But sure. It is "wokeness" in the ranks destroying it all. It is your boogeyman after all.

A friend of mine that spent several deployments there shared this yesterday.

Alleviating suffering is never in vain, even if the final outcome isn’t permanent. I know a young lady from Afghanistan who recently attended the same boarding school I went to in Europe, and is now about to graduate from college here in the States. This is because she was able to get an education while a child in Afghanistan, which she would not have been able to do without the sacrifice of you and your brothers and sisters. I know a family of refugees down the road who were able to start a new life here 7 years ago. They also would not have had that opportunity without the work of our service members who served in Afghanistan. These are just two examples out of millions. There are countless success stories of young women getting an education, becoming successful and thriving. The mission for a permanent peace may have failed, it may have been unrealistic and impossible, but striving towards that mission helped a lot of people over the past 20 years, and that should not be forgotten.

A lot of mistakes were made in our campaign there. But I don’t want a service member to think that their service and sacrifice there was in vain. If a doctor treats a cancer patient and gets it into remission for 20 years, only for the patient to succumb after that, it doesn’t mean the doctor’s work didn’t matter. You and your brothers and sisters held back this cancer for 20 years. That at least should be remembered.

This is obviously hitting hard with me and many within the military community. One can be critical of Afghanistan without crapping all over the service of many great leaders.

[TH Spangler]

My cousin is there now tring to evacuate people. Two of my female friends spent 10 years on the ground there teaching and working with women. I get it. But they agree with me.

I think the NSA has better Intel on Tucker and a few other real Journalist than our enemies.

And my brother in law is fighting for his life with covid. A man made virus. And Fauci still being employed shows just how bad Washingtion has become.

[stokesjokes]

I’m sorry to hear about your brother-in-law. We’re dealing with the new school mask mandate here. I know it’s not on the level of fighting for their lives, but it’s been getting me very angry.

I’m angry at all the people who have spent the last year and a half trying to undermine every mitigation strategy to put us back here. I dealt with it this weekend with my in-laws- people who have been convinced of things about masks and vaccines that are just plain untrue. So convinced, they’re more willing to take medication that’s literally for horses than to get a vaccine that has over a billion data points at this point to say it’s safe.

Because of the kooks that have misled them and millions of others like them, our hospitals are filling up, people are very sick, and my kids have to wear masks again.

[TH Spangler]

Vaccines might be buying us time to find a treatment. I wear a mast indoors but I’m afraid its a waste of time. Doctor following the Science said if you are wearing a mask and walk into a room with someone smoking and you can smell it your mask mask failed.

Bidens open boarders is doing the most damage now. If we had a real president he would be fast tracking treatments like last one did the vaccine.
