They're yesterday's news. Hard to recruit when all you can promise is life in a desert shithole with a bunch of beard strokers criticizing your every move.

It's weird. All my Russian has this Scottish accent to it.

Pence: 20% of Taxpayer Funding for Trump Transition Will Go Back to US Treasury

He said he, as well as the president-elect, were pleased to report that the transition wrapped up "on schedule and under budget."

"We will actually return some 20 percent of taxpayer funding back to the U.S. Treasury, and that is exactly in keeping with the president-elect's expectations going forward," Pence said.

Some poignant comments from Alibaba's Jack Ma.

At the same time, the US spent a lot of money on foreign conflicts. "In the past 30 years, America had 13 wars spending $2 trillion ... no matter how good your strategy is you're supposed to spend money on your own people," Ma said. "The money goes to Wall Street. Then what happened? Year 2008 wiped out $19.2 trillion in US income ... What if the money was spent on the Midwest of the United States?"

"The other countries steal jobs from you guys — that is your strategy. You did not distribute the money in the proper way."

 

I'll say this for Trump, I like the focus and attention that American companies are putting on America. I am wary to get into trade wars, though, as we risk cutting off our exports to other countries, and that's not ideal for business either.

Did the book have Sean Connery?

If not, then the movie was better.

The book was great. First of many Tom Clancy novels I read.

I think it was either Clear and Present Danger or the Sum of All Fears that had a commercial jet crashing into a joint session of Congress wiping out the most of the government. Al Qaeda took a page out of that book.
