I wasn't aware of that, I figured they'd righted their ship after the Aquino/Marcos drama. Not surprised though, they're not the best people. I've had several Filipino clients and just about every one of them has been dishonest and a gambling addict. Just a really weird thing about them, although I do have Filipino neighbors across the street who are wonderful folks.

The last three presidents of the Philippines ended getting tossed in prison. They all began immensely popular and end up in prison, what a wacky job. And the USA is getting like that now.

The same thing happened to Biden, again it's just the normal course of American politics. Trump is going to serve out his term and then we'll be on to the next guy. If this is the sort of thing you celebrate then life is passing you by, kid.Seattle or Bust wrote: ↑Thu Mar 26, 2026 5:05 amOfc I don't think it's a permanent shift.DavidGee24 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 25, 2026 11:17 pmIt's called "The Grass Is Greener".

I'm celebrating that its a rebuke of the orange clown and the cult members who are ruining this country.
I always like asking people on the left......if the U.S. is so incredibly bad, racist, misogynist, blah, blah, blah.....where would they rather live? It's so hilarious that none of them can ever answer that, or if they do, it is some obviously inferior country that they'd be miserable in if they ever really moved there.DavidGee24 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 26, 2026 8:01 pmThe same thing happened to Biden, again it's just the normal course of American politics.

And "ruining this country", sweet Jesus. There's always that low-IQ hyperemotional percentage of the population that thinks the President is "ruining this country" or my personal favorite, "This country is going to hell in a handbasket".

The videos and posts relentlessly mock President Trump or vilify him and as a bloodthirsty leader who strikes civilian targets indiscriminately. They make up content about attacks on American and Israeli targets, including one on Wednesday that featured a fabricated video of a missile striking Liberty Island in New York Harbor. They regularly mention Jeffrey Epstein.
Iran is waging what researchers have described as a sophisticated information war, aided by Russia and China, that is spreading content designed to exploit worldwide opposition to the U.S.-Israeli military campaign and deflect from the country’s considerable losses on the battlefield.
Nearly a month into the war, Iran’s state media outlets and covert operatives are producing a steady torrent of propaganda, overstated narratives and outright disinformation. They are often wielding generative A.I. tools to create increasingly realistic-looking images and videos, according to human rights organizations and research groups studying foreign influence.
Much of the false content has been debunked, but not before reaching millions of people on X, Bluesky, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and other social media platforms.
The information war, the researchers say, has given Iran’s beleaguered leadership a weapon almost as potent as its ability to disrupt the world’s energy economy by throttling shipments of oil through the Strait of Hormuz. While the impact of the information war can be difficult to measure, experts said it appeared to have stoked popular anger and unease about the conflict in the United States and beyond.
“They’re winning the propaganda war,” Darren L. Linvill, a director of Clemson University’s Media Forensics Hub, said of the Iranians. “They were prepared for it more than the administration, because they’d been preparing for this entire conflict for 50 years.”
GENEVA (AP) — Swiss food giant Nestlé says about 12 tons, or 413,793 candy bars, of its KitKat chocolate brand were stolen after leaving its production site in Italy earlier this week for Poland.
The company, based in Vevey, Switzerland, said in a statement Friday that “the vehicle and its load are still nowhere to be found.”
