I'm becoming increasingly convinced that he's repeatedly pump 'n' dumping the stock market, and given that this is something Musk has done with crypto on a smaller scale many times, it seems even more likely.

Students who
are not legal in the USA.
Will be tracked.


And sure it will be a shock if they raid
a campus.

Maybe the Teachers could advise them
to leave the class
for a while?

I'm not necessarily against them "raiding" if there's a ring of students hiding away in the colleges with significant criminal records, but it's more unlikely someone bothering to pursue a higher education is a detriment to society.

If Starmer had spent £18000 of a couple of months of golf weekends there would be people in the UK chewing their own lips off over it... never mind 18 million dollars

The security services were costing the country a fortune for 4 years when he wasn't president. The secret service need to protect him wherever he is, so even if he wasn't golfing, it would be the same cost. The secret service followed Biden wherever he went, he never stayed at the whitehouse at weekends and neither did Obama if i recall correctly

It was well known during his last term that Trump (the real human rather than the pumped-up character myth) much preferred to be out playing golf than doing, really, anything else, presidential or otherwise... and that it was a bit disproportionate to the amount of time that other previous presidents had spent on leisure pursuits. I don't know about Biden - as he was, similarly... an elderly man no doubt craving retirement and relaxation when it comes right down to it. I doubt it'll be much different this time. He's quick to delegate, certainly.

If he's seeking peace then it should be a problem for him that Russia have continued launching significant strikes when Trump has insisted that they "come to the table" but he won't say it's a problem. Why not? It's an indication that no matter how hard he tries to "campaign for peace" - if that's what you believe he's doing - Russia don't currently seem willing to pause and are using it as an opportunity to forge ahead. Not a good sign for any peace attempt.

USA, france, Germany and britain have all condemned Iran for not fulfilling their side if the bargain.
