I think the only real question here was could the pilot do a pull up and was the car passengers dressed in their Sunday’s best during the crash landing?

That’s what we need to investigate. If the answer is no to either of those questions, then we know why the plane crashed.

Typeface of ‘wasteful’ diversity: Trump’s state department orders return to Times New Roman

Memo from Marco Rubio reportedly said cutting Calibri from official communication would ‘abolish yet another wasteful DEIA program’

State Department concentrating on the important issues - like is the font used as default a DEI choice? Screw the visually impaired I guess.

Jay Leno famously doesn't own any Ferrari cars because of their stupid games. He wants the top end cars, but they force him to buy the bottom tier stuff in order to get the top of the line stuff. Lamborghini literally exists because Ferrari sucks.

Good video on it. Leno hates Ferrari, and props up even McClaren. Also, it sucks to see Leno like this. He's losing it a bit. He's a huge car guy.

Cameroon bans reporting on President Paul Biya’s health, whereabouts - Committee to Protect Journalists

New York, October 10, 2024—The Cameroonian government should end its threats to sanction journalists who report on the condition and whereabouts of President Paul Biya, 91, who has not been seen publicly for over a month and has missed scheduled international engagements, the Committee to Protect Journalists said on Thursday.

“The Cameroonian government should simply put the rumors to rest by arranging a public appearance by the head of state,“ said Angela Quintal, head of CPJ’s Africa program, in New York. “The health of the president, who has been in power for 41 years and may seek re-election next year, is of public interest. Any misguided attempt to censor reporting about his health for national security reasons simply fuels rampant speculation.”

In an October 9 letter to regional governors, reviewed by CPJ, Cameroon’s Minister of Territorial Administration Paul Atanga Nji said any debate in the media about Biya’s health was strictly prohibited following official government denials that the president is in ill health, and offenders would face the full force of the law.

- He won the elections in Oct 2025 by carrying the two regions most hostile to his rule - northwest and southwest. These regions are attempting to secede from the rest of the country too. Make it make sense…

- There are talks of grooming his oldest son to replace him (just like the Bongo family did in Gabon).

Rolexes aren't for the wealthy. They're for the people who want to appear rich. Also, a "weekend in Switzerland"? LOL. That is not a thing. That country is expensive as hell. You don't just fly to Switzerland for a weekend for a Rolex lol.

Rolex guy here. For what it is worth, you don’t just walk into a store and buy a Rolex, even in Switzerland.

Yes people absolutely would fly to Switzerland if they could just grab the watch they wanted from a store. I would, no problem.

“Rolexes aren’t for the wealthy” is a ridiculous statement. Rolexes start at about $10k, and most will run you $15k-$25k. There are better, more expensive, watches you can get, but let’s not act like they are Seikos.

 

[HarlemShakeStory]

Believe me I know a Rolex is a relative entry level Swiss watch. But at the same time if you can afford a 10k watch you can afford a trip to 2k. Especially if your goal is to save on duty and sales tax which the trip pays for itself.

If you can’t then you shouldn’t be spending that on a watch in the first place.

“Rolex is a relative entry level Swiss watch”

You literally can’t even walk in to a store and buy one.

Tissot, Longines, Tag Heuer, Tudor, IWC, ect. are entry level. You can walk in a store off the street and grab one without a prior relationship. Rolex you either have to have a history of purchases or must be prepared for a long wait.

See this makes sense. Talarico is the stronger candidate. I also think this story is kryptonite to her campaign.

When you say Goldman, you mean Dan Goldman? I think he's a serious thorn in the side of the Republicans and I enjoy watching him stand up any Republican who has kissed the ring.
