He's asking the Commonwealth to stand together against dump.
Boeing and other airlines annual revenues from spare parts and service is a respectable 25% on average.
If Boeing fulfill Qatar order they can expect additional $50B annually for as long as the planes are in service
That's what is killing the EU with jealousy.
I also think Boeing is not using the $25 million Rolls Royce engines that much of late.

Joe Biden staffer caught by O'Keefe.
Obama and Clinton were running the show.

https://redstatenation.com/breaking-bidens-special-advisor-says-he-was-never-in-charge-undercover-video-names-the-true-power-behind-the-curtain/

Washington, D.C. – In a bombshell undercover video released on May 19, 2025, Tyler Robinson, a Special Advisor to the U.S. Small Business Administration, admitted that President Joe Biden was not in charge during his presidency, with significant influence from figures like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. The footage, viewed over 2.4 million times, has conservatives on X demanding answers: “Biden was a puppet—Trump’s the only one who can expose the truth!”

I have a feeling Jake Tapper will be fired by CNN,for promoting his book on his show

Biden completed 4 years without the threat of impeachment so it is not an excuse.
They wouldn't impeach him without democrat votes. Waste of time,
Five Republicans filed articles of impeachment against him
_ Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA): On January 21, 2021
_Lauren Boebert (R-CO): In June 2023

_Greg Steube (R-FL): On August 11, 2023, Rep.
_Cory Mills (R-FL): On May 13, 2024, Rep. Mills filed articles of
impeachment against Biden
_Bob Gibbs (R-OH): In September 2021, Rep. Gibbs, with several cosponsors,


None of them made past Republican house committee stages.
Democrats know they would not impeach Trump ,but they do it to reinforce their voters view of how vile he is, savouring in live TV coverage.
Nancy Pelosi wore this same dress twice like a bereaved person when delivering the impeachment papers to the Senate .Pure show time.

I don't wish ill on anyone health wise.Democrats are the worst . They pray for Trump to go be killed if God won't take him away peacefully.

Again you can see how democrats are demanding we produce his medical report. He only released summaries declaring he is fit to be president. That was in 2023 and 2024.

President Donald Trump said Walmart needs to stop “trying to blame tariffs” after the retail giant announced that its products would become more expensive.

Walmart’s CEO said the price increases were a result of Trump’s tariffs being “too high,” particularly when it came to Chinese goods.

I have read the story.My heart goes out to the family ,the woman and her unborn baby.
If she wasn't pregnant,how would the family have proceeded. Terminate life support?
Supposing they keep her alive till the baby can survive ,baby grows up and discovers a cure for cancer.
The longest known case was a patient named TK, kept on life support for nearly 20 years after being declared brain d


The author didn't make it clear what is troubling the parents. The abortion laws or the medical costs of keeping her alive.

Joe Biden audio tape of his interview with Robert Hurr released to Axios .
Link.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugM76taxz2E

Axios which is very sympathetic to him.could not help to note that other people were in charge of the WH because Joe Biden is severely mentally handicapped.

https://www.axios.com/2025/05/16/biden-hur-tape-special-counsel-audio

Joe went completely offscipt, forgetting the year his son died,when he was CP,when Trump won. Chillingly a grandfather clock tik tok exposes how long he took to answer questions

But here's what it sounded like in the quiet room where the dead air between Biden's pauses is emphasized by the tick-tock of the clock:
"Okay, yeah … "

Tick.
"... Beau had passed and …"

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Tick.
"... this is personal …"

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Tick.
"... the genesis … "

Tick.
"...of the book and the title Promise Me, Dad, was a …"

Tick. Tock. Tick.
"... I know you're all close with your sons and daughters, but Beau was .."

Tick. Tock.
"...like my right arm and Hunt was my left."
His lawyers interjecting in and helping him answer.
Total trainwreck.

WH and Garland refused to release the audiotape citing national security. Total BS. It was part of the continuing coverup by him,WH,his doctor,his family and media about who was really running the country.

Trump should revoke every executive order he signed and dare any judge to grant an injuction. He has three grounds
_Jake Tapper book.
_This Audio tape.
_Autopen. Two were used. The only signature was his statement stepping out of the race which was uniquely different from the two autopens.

Foreign Affairs › Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by basilico:
Bemeruca and raumdeuter. My position on the Qatar gift.
Trump bragged about renegotiating the costs of two Air force One planes. Initial estimate was $5.3B but Trump negotiated with Boeing president to $3.9B. As usual he bragged about it.

The airframe had been built for a Russia airline company that had gone bankrupt. Boeing wasn't really happy saying the deal cost them $2.5B loss in the process
In retrospect I think Boeing made sure Trump would never be the first POTUS to use it , delaying it to 2024. When he won, they pushed delivery to around 2035. So I think that's just politics because the most demanding part of a plane is the airframe. In any case the retrofitting is done by their contractor.

The current gift is being retrofitted by the same contractor ,scheduled to take less than 2 years. (USAF took 2 years to salvage 2 F-35 jets that had crashed to the ground and partly caught fire, a company like Boeing should take less time with a plane that probably needed only finishing touches as a commerical liner.
Some.posts on X have claimed that Biden admin had initiated offers to buy the same plane,this has not been confirmed or denied. I doubt that Qatar just offered the plane out of thin air.
According to Grok,if the gift actually becomes operational, after 2027 it would be decommissioned first removing any security additions
It will be ,under control of DOD and NARA .Trump and his family would not use it all. It would however be under the presidential museum ,which can fundraise from it And if its still capable of flying DoD and NARA would strictly supervise it. Nevertheless it would be a good bragging right to the Trump presidential library. ( The settlements from his defamation suits eg Facebook and ABC are being channeled to his library)

My opinion.Why is Qatar gifting him. Qatar has been hosting Hamas leades including their billinaire boss blown up in Tehran, they have funded Hamas to the tunes of billions. They built a high end residential estate in Gaza which IDF flattened ,it was hosting the Hamas top dogs complete with an "undergroud metropolis". With the gift,I am of the opinion that Trump positions on Palestine and Israel have tacitly changed. There is no way Qatar gifts him without something in return, this has do with Israel and the Abraham accords.The position of Saudi and Qatar is that a two state solution for Palestinians must be on the table if they are to sign in.

I've stated before ,the gift doesn't look good for Trump.

---Also what is the cost to retrofit the 747-8 that would only be used for about 2 years before Felon 47 library takes ownership---at a time when Felon 47 and President Musk's DOGE are looking for ways to cut waste in government and also reduce the amount going to past US presidents' presidential libraries---
You tell me for a fact that Biden didn't attempt to buy the same plane but was rebuffed before waxing lyrical.

raumdeuter bemeruca.

I have not seen the perennial anti Trump bridge here commenting on the $200B Boeing order.
Their concern is the luxury jet gift , which is ironical because Boeing can't take a newer airframe,retrofit it with security ,comms, chaffs and flares, boardrooms etc for 8 years counting. The gift will be retrofitted to air force one class in less than 2 years.
Boeing last built the 747 airframe in 2022, a freighter cargo plane .

Now that the ME trip has spurred unimaginable economic investment deals the brigade is silent looking for it's next hit pieces.. white south African refugees , etc.Anything to forget the $200B deal plus $1 Trillion investments expected.
Tells you a lot about liberal democrats. One sided myopic way of looking at life.

(b)

2. Zelensky failed to implement Minsk agreements ( was designed to buy time) and started arming Ukraine massively.

In September 2019, Bill Gates, through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, purchased 1,038,674 shares of BioNTech SE at a pre-public offering price of $18.10 per share totaling approximately $18.8 million. In the third quarter of 2021, the Foundation sold 86% of its BioNTech holdings (890,000 shares) at an average price of around $300 per share, yielding approximately $260 million in profit. Additionally, the Foundation sold 2 million shares prior to Q3 2021, and the total profit from these sales, including earlier transactions, is estimated to exceed $300 million, though exact figures for all sales are not fully detailed in available sources.



Now thats very good business deal at face value. A documented fact.

Let's see what else Bill Gates did in 2019.

he Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation co-sponsored Event 201, a high-level pandemic simulation exercise held on October 18, 2019, in New York City. Organized in partnership with the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security and the World Economic Forum, the 3.5-hour tabletop exercise simulated a global outbreak of a novel zoonotic coronavirus, named CAPS (Coronavirus-Associated Pulmonary Syndrome), which was fictional but scientifically plausible. The scenario depicted a fast-spreading virus originating in South America, causing 65 million deaths over 18 months, crippling economies, and sparking social unrest due to [b]misinformation [/b]and strained healthcare systems.
.

No correlation whatsoever .

The first COVID outbreak was reported in Dec 2019. BioNTech partnered with Pfizer to develop the first covid19 vaccine.
At the time Bill Gates foundation sold the shares in Oct 2021 their prices had risen from $19 to over $300.

I got all that from the chatgpt.
Bill Gates must be the businessman to emulate.
