Vance addressed the Munich Security Conference on Feb. 14, 2025, with leaders about defense & transatlantic ties. The position the Vance took was Americans should not have to use their tax $ to subsidize European defense while Europeans prefer to spend their $ on welfare. A lot of Europeans did not like that, but they better learn to lump it as long as Vance appears to be the heir apparent in 2029. Source same article by Bruce Anderson.

Secretary of Defense.................err War, Pete Hegseth, announced the U.S. is shifting troops from Europe to the Western Hemisphere. Hmm, it would appear that stifling drug trade is more urgent than stifling Putin?

The nations of Europe need to defend themselves. It is a US taxpayer issue, and it costs us

millions of dollars every year.

The way he's talking he could be sending troops to Nigeria to protect Christians! The era of the Crusades has returned! Not sure how that'll go down with voters.

Dunno Mark, the Crusades have really never been over. Even the Irish have more "troubles" this time not with the Snakes or the English but with immigration. Imagine that?

We do not have a monarchy. It is not the place of the US or any other nation to be the

police officer of the world. This was tried in ancient Rome and it failed. The people

became war worried and tired.

Things are so bad in Nigeria, that the people on the Christian side of the nation want to leave

Nigeria and become their own nation. I hope that they are successful.

It has been tried in every empire throughout history. Call it monarchy, call it dictatorship, call it sphere of influence, call it "Make America Great Again," call it Pax Americana, but the burden has been America's since the end of WWII.

Trump is seeking $230 million in damages from the federal government over alleged rights violations in Mueller's investigation. Even Trump admitted it strange to make a decision where he is paying himself with taxpayer cash. Now he is building a golden ballroom at the White House, demanding the prosecution of his enemies, pocketing billions on crypto schemes, & takes a $400 million jet from Quatar.


Now Grey, what was that about not having a monarchy?

He's even put out a video of himself wearing a crown, he likes to think of himself as a King I'm sure.

Several Presidents in history have elevated themselves to Kings or Emperors - Ahmed Zogu, President of Albania did so in 1928 and more recently Jean-Bédel Bokassa of the Central African Republic proclaimed himself Emperor in 1976.

Nigeria had a civil war in the 1960s with the breakaway Republic of Biafra, that ended in a humanitarian disaster with mass starvation.

It is still NOT a monarchy. The ballroom is being paid by private donations. Going back to

President Harris, many if not all presidents have wanted a ballroom for state dinners, etc.

The problem was that Congress would not approve the money. Past presidents including

Obama used a tent for meetings, etc.  

Trump's being charged criminally was political. Everyone involved should be sued.

Re: last sentence..............You mean the hoarding of classified material at Mar-a-Lago? Trump's personal attorney who defended him is Todd Blanche. Oh, by the way, Todd Blanche is now the Deputy Attorney General who would need to approve Trump's latest suit for $230 million. Do you think he will?

The president currently has the right to have classified material. Trump had it in a secure place.

The vice president does not have the right to have classified material. Both Pence and Biden

had them. Biden was worse. He had the classified material in an area where anyone could see them.

It is up to Blanche to approve Trump's lawsuits. It is possible that he will.

Biden had classified material from when he was the vice president.

It was in an open area, where anyone could see them. 

Vice President Pence also had classified materials.

Every President since Ronald Reagan has had classified materials,

Yes, to all of that. Add, the Dems indicted Trump for that to keep him from running for POTUS in 2024. Add, now Trump is seeking retribution from the Dems by duplicating the political shenanigans. Add, by pointing out one wrongdoing does not justify another.
