Ah, my mistake. I went to their website and saw all the old Kelloggs stuff and jumped to a conclusion. Mars won't become as big as I thought. Poor Kelloggs! Half of an institution dies. So now it will be Mars Pop Tarts? That's just not right!! mspart

You were invited to share your solution if Musk's is no good. But you didn't. So I assume you don't have one and just want to complain. It's easy to say we should root them out, but complain about how it is happening. Tougher to say how it should be done. Again, here is your opportunity to shine and show us how erudite you are. mspart

The ones that are legit can show it. The ones that aren't would have a tough time showing it. It seems like a good way to root out the bad ones. Your solution would be to do nothing and let it continue. We shouldn't have to do anything to find them. That is essentially what you are promoting. If not, please provide your wonderful plan. mspart

So by extension you trust that there are some among the 2 million that ARE making fraudulent purchases on their government credit cards. But we shouldn't root those out? mspart

You've had several examples. That qualifies as over and over again. You can drop the act now. mspart

Stacey Abrams' group receive billions is evidence of fraud. It was meant for one thing supposedly, and ended up somewhere else. She is of course defiant. https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/epa-formally-refers-financial-mismanagement-20b-gold-bars-inspector-general WASHINGTON – In a letter to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Acting Inspector General (IG), EPA formally referred the well documented and concerning matter of financial mismanagement, conflicts of interest, and oversight failures with the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) for further investigation. Given the severity of misconduct, waste, conflicts of interest, and potential fraud, the GGRF is undergoing a comprehensive review alongside concurrent investigations by the U.S. Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation. For example, a Stacey Abrams linked organization that reported just $100 in revenue in 2023, was chosen to receive $2 billion—that’s 20 million times the organization’s reported revenue. To highlight just how unqualified this organization was, the grant agreement provided 90 days to complete "How to Develop a Budget" training even though the organization was instructed to start spending down the balance in the first 21 days of that timeframe. Totally legit! mspart

Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.,suggested on Sunday that President Joe Biden has earned his place among America’s greatest presidents and should be recognized accordingly. Biden, she said, has proven to be one of America’s greatest presidents and warrants a place on Mount Rushmore alongside Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. I found this quite quickly on the google. mspart

Hilarious, Ds are rudderless. mspart

Are you sure you can? mspart

You might want to do some light reading. https://www.brookings.edu/articles/on-the-record-the-u-s-administrations-actions-on-russia/ https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/trump-campaign-press-release-fact-trump-has-been-tougher-russia-than-biden mspart

Yes, you are saying what I said you said and you cannot refute it. It doesn't help that you try to explain away the plain words you wrote. If you meant something else by them, that's not my fault. Your written word is quite plain. mspart

Not different. Not even completely. And should they own American assets? That is a question to ask yourself. I don't think they should. Both this and the ports are a national security issue. Like making our own steel. If we can't make our own steel, we are in trouble from a national security standpoint. mspart

Explain how you want, but you threw shade on Blackrock but threw sunlight on the Chinese company. That's what your quotes show. Which all is beside the point. Better a western hemisphere outfit running the ports than an enemy that could take it over. I don't think there is any question that China is not on our side. mspart

Well, Mars candy is the best , no doubt. I prefer it over Hershey and DOTS and other less desirable candies. Although I can't have them anymore. Mars bar and milky way are roughly the same but they do taste different to me. mspart

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/candy-maker-mars-selling-biggest-171745873.html (Bloomberg) -- Mars Inc. is selling $26 billion of US high-grade bonds on Wednesday to fund its acquisition of rival foodmaker Kellanova, the biggest bond sale of the year so far. Kellanova is Kellogs, the cereal company. Mars is a candy company primarily. I'm not sure how I feel about this, but I thought it was interesting nonetheless. Another one biting the dust it looks like. mspart

The ports were owned by a chinese conglomerate. They no longer are. But that is not a good thing apparently. mspart

That's fine, but you give a pass to the Hong Kong group that you do not give to the American group. The bolded sections are your words. So you tell me what you are saying if you don't like my interpretation. msaprt

Yet you accused Black Rock of failing their shareholders, their fiduciary duty just a few posts ago. Which is it? So Hong Kong, which is part of Communist China, more fiduciarly responsible than anyone else? If a hHong Kong conglomerate owns the ports, it would be very easy for China to exert control over this? Is there any doubt this is what they are trying to do by buying up all the ports in the world? Why would ports at the Panama Canal be any different. mspart

I would say horrible optics by the Ds. Surely one can applaud for a 13 year old black boy with cancer, notwithstanding politics. Terrible look for the Ds. mspart

So are you against this or for it? Would you rather China continue to control the ports? What about this is not good? mspart

What does success look like to you? I'm not trying to be a funny guy here, what could he do that does not do Putin's bidding? Or maybe the better question would be what is Putin's bidding? mspart

Yes it should. mspart

Yes I agree, I'm just channeling those that hate Trump and do similar. mspart

Why would they overpay? What business does that? Americans benefit in that the control of the ports is no longer in the hands of enemies. Think man. mspart

https://nypost.com/2025/03/04/us-news/trump-announces-dj-daniels-will-be-honorary-secret-service-agent/ President Trump honored Devarjaye “DJ” Daniel, a 13-year-old cancer survivor, in a moving moment during his address to the joint session of Congress on Tuesday, announcing that he will become an honorary member of the Secret Service. Daniel, clad in a police officer uniform while seated in the House gallery, beamed as his father hoisted him up while Trump recognized his battle to overcome cancer. “He has always dreamed of becoming a police officer,” the commander in chief explained during his speech. “But in 2018, DJ was diagnosed with brain cancer.” “The doctors gave him five months at most to live,” Trump added. “That was more than six years ago. Since that time, DJ and his dad have been on a quest to make his dream come true.” “And tonight, DJ, we’re going to do you the biggest honor of them all,” Trump teased before announcing the honor. “I am asking our new Secret Service director, Sean Curran, to officially make you an agent of the United States.” Chants of “D-J!” immediately erupted in the House chamber in response to the heartwarming announcement. Yes there were chants of DJ DJ. But this did not come from the Democrats. Those jackals couldn't even feel good and support this poor kid. What a bunch of losers!! mspart
