Shipment of suspected rocket fuel and or explosives?

Sure put a crimp in the Houthis harassment of shipping.

So my truck is in the shop for routine maintenance.

While at the dealer..... The wheels got stolen.

$1000 per wheel and 10 day lead time.

I haven't seen much since that strike on the Port Ras Isa. I am seeing the Houthis are claiming a migrant facility was hit and migrants killed.

I don't believe a word of that.

In #3 vxbush said: Really, California? This is the look you want?  California lawmakers have voted down a measure that would make it a felony to buy 16 and 17-year-olds for sex. Assembly Bill 379 was introduced to crack down on sex trafficking, particularly those who traffic children, KCRA reported.

Has Amazon’s Tariff Transparency Backfired?
I haven’t noticed the tariff transparency feature on Amazon yet, but if they’ve started showing the full import-inclusive prices, that’s actually a step in the right direction for consumers. It helps avoid unexpected fees at checkout. As for marking items from China—if Amazon does make that visible, it could definitely impact how people perceive the platform, especially when they realize just how much of the catalog is sourced from there.

Speaking of products from China, I recently ordered an electric motorcycle from a brand/store called monto168 (not related to gambling—this was through an online marketplace). I was skeptical at first, but the delivery was fast, the bike works surprisingly well, and the price was very reasonable. Definitely a solid choice if you're curious about trying something new without spending a fortune.

Have you tried ordering motor-related gear or tech products from Amazon or elsewhere recently?

I haven't gone shopping at Amazon for several weeks. Have they implemented their tariff transparency pricing yet? Have they realized that it will mark every single item that comes from China? Have they realized how this will make them look?

Oh. Looks like they finally figure that out. Apparently Trump called Bezos who then made sure Amazon caved, even though he's not the CEO anymore. 

Not sure where the truth lies, but I think we need a running count of how many times Democrats and leftists back down in the face of Trump. That might spin a windmill faster and actually produce some useful electricity.

Possibly, but then that hides the (potential) DEI insanity under a veneer of white manhood. I'm not sure that's any better.

Please make it make sense.

I don't think I can. I haven't figured out how you can justify one but not the other.
