there is a saying Only Nixon can go to China
So only Trumpieboy can make nice with the ex terrorists who are running Syria (and maybe make peace in exchange for a Trump Tower?
Devloping..
.I will say this:

For all my criticisms of Trump this week, if there is ONE man who can somehow make Syria change from a pariah regime to a functioning country, it's him.
I really want to be hopeful this is the start of something new. Not holding my breath, but still. pic.twitter.com/CntE37uDIj

RFK Jr wants to ban herbicides, which some think are associated with health problems.
The problem? herbicides increase the ability to grow cheap abundant food... so if this is done, the result will not be just healthier food but starvation of people who can't afford to buy food.
We grow organic rice, so my idea is to encourage organic food for the growing middle class, while allowing cheap chemical grown food for the poor people who prefer to take the risk of disease at age 70 than dying of infection from malnutirtion at age 30 or their kids dying at age three.
This is what we do in the Philippines, where the government encourages organic farming but allows the import of cheap rice to keep the price down (subsidized rice for the poor is 20 peso/kg, but regular rice is 60 peso/kg).

Lots of stuff out there saying there is a link between "the vaccine" and infertility.
But my question: Is this only with the mRNA vaccines? The vaccines that used older technologies like the AZ and Sputnik vaccine? How about the Sinovax (that didn't work very well) that used traditional vaccine techology?
==================
Trumpieboy allowing the white South African farmers to enter the USA as refugees is being spun in many ways.
However, the Zulus who run that government entered South Africa about the same time as the ancestors of the Boers. And as Zimbabwe showed, the result will be economic collapse.
Not mentioned: Is this revenge against the Boers, or are they going to revenge against the other white tribe (i.e. those who entered the country in the last 150 years from the UK)? How about revenge against the descendents of the Indian immigrants who run most of the low end stores etc? What about against the non Zulu Tribes?
I have an African blog so will probably look into this later today.
However, by making the Boer refugees legal, it is showing the racism of both sides of the immigration kerfuffle.
If the Boers are in danger, well, so are the Haitians and Afghans and Somalis (but not the Venezuelans, who can flee to other countries nearby like Brazil and Colombia).
But when the refugee loving NGOs refuse to help resettle them it shows their prejudice too.

are all vote counting machines problematic? The Philippines got rid of their Smartmatic machines due to problems but now are having problems with the Korean built Miru machines.

The same reporters who insisted that Biden had no mental deterioration are now selling books about how they were fooled by his staff. DUH.
the irony? If Biden had said he would not run for reelection, there would have been a primary held to chose the next candidate, and Kamela Harris (or maybe Hillary) might have gotten the nomination and then won the election.
Sigh.

the tariff war with China is a big story but since I have no expertise I will just leave the discussion to others.
The outcome of the tariff war between the U.S. and China, I agree, will define this era. That means we had better win it. https://t.co/9dSUpe7rMD
