Peace..

 

Saudi Aramco publicized a multibillion-dollar investment in China’s petrochemical industry. Saudi Arabia and its OPEC+ partners announced a cut to oil production to keep prices at current market level

Alongside the recent China-brokered agreement for Iran and Saudi Arabia to resume diplomatic ties, these developments typify an ongoing transition: America is stepping back, and China is stepping up in the Middle East.

First, China under Xi had completed its evolution from a regional to a global power.

Second, China would be a peacemaker, solving problems the United States would not or could not address.

Both messages amount to a play for leadership of the Global South, and are part and parcel of Xi’s effort to forge a new world order. Just a "Peaceful" thought.

“Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt” (often attributed to Mark Twain), perfectly underscores the dilemma of the Democratic Party’s leaders approaching the 2024 presidential election. 

Many of them seem to be in flat-out denial of the widespread fear, or reality, that they don’t have a viable ticket.

High-level Democrats are rallying to President Biden’s reelection, not because they think it’s in the best interest of the country to have an 82-year-old start a second term,

But because they fear the potential alternative: the nomination of Kamala Harris and election of Donald Trump.”

It is our Democracy, it's the desire to hold power, Control the White House...etc. 

Draino..

 

California dermatologist was indicted by a grand jury for allegedly poisoning her husband with liquid drain cleaner, according to the Orange County District Attorney's Office.

Yu's attorney, Scott Simmons, says his client will plead not guilty.
Yu's husband, Jack Chen, who also is a doctor, stated in court documents that he was poisoned with a liquid cleaner and that she was trying to kill him.

Chen has videos of three separate occasions of Yu "pouring Draino [sic] taken from under our kitchen sink and pouring it into my lemonade."

Chen collected samples of the beverage and turned them over to the Irvine Police Department, according to the district attorney's office. "The samples were later turned over to the FBI for testing, which confirmed the substance was consistent with liquid drain cleaner."            Gimmick?

 Table tennis requires a developed sense of strategy that is similar to that of Chess. The game starts well before the serve. You study your opponent and learn their tendencies so that your next move becomes a calculated reaction. Noting potential weaknesses, opponents attempt to exploit the Achilles Heel of the opposing player.

A 30 minutes of aerobic activity of any kind five times per week is associated with a reduced risk of cognitive decline. 

In general, playing games on a regular basis has been shown to help reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer’s by almost 50%. 

For people already diagnosed with the disease, game-playing can aid in slowing down the disease’s progress. Playing games and learning new ones keep the mind stimulated, which helps memory function and cognitive functions such as language, attention span and spatial ability to continue to perform optimally.

Biden’s serial catastrophes are creating the perfect conditions for a Trump comeback.

Democrats know it and are starting to panic. 

The New York Times reports that many party members now see Biden “as an anchor that should be cut loose in 2024.” 

Instead of blaming the disasters his left-wing policies unleashed, they blame his failure to pass even more “big-ticket legislation on signature Democratic issues” for his unpopularity — as if more spending leading to more inflation would have made him more popular.  

It's almost as if Democrats are trying to make sure Trump wins in 2024.      Just a thought.
