President Xi Jinping met with President Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela at the Great Hall of the People
Rick Manning, Real Clear Energy: Venezuela, China, Russia – Oh My
The world is a complicated place.
Most people don’t associate the devastation of the Venezuela by communist leader Nicolas Maduro with China, yet Venezuelan oil lies at the heart of China’s interests and as a result, they have been propping up the murderous South American leader.
Shockingly, Venezuela has the largest known reserves of oil in the world, and in 1950 had the fourth largest Gross Domestic Product in the world and second highest GDP per capita. Venezuela’s economy was six times the size of China, and as late as 1982, they were still the largest GDP in South America. However, by 2017 Venezuela’s per capita GDP had shrunk back to levels last seen at the turn of the century, and they continue to shrink in spite of its impressive oil reserves.
In a couple of decades, the country has receded from relative affluence to scenes of desperate people eating their pets to stay alive, as Maduro’s repressive communist regime continues to destroy all capital investment in the country. With their eye on both Venezuela’s oil riches and the ability to project short-and medium range missile threats to the United States from the Caribbean country, China and Russia have been sending billions of dollars to prop up the Maduro madness.

This is stunning. I knew about the oil but not the other declines.
I'd send this to some of the "best and the brightest" but I need go no further than the past comments of some posters on this site to realize I'm better off saving the stamp.
This article is a keeper.
1) Someone who won't discuss black supremacists at the same time as talking about white supremacists has no room to talk.
Ergo squirrel has not room to talk.
2) Trump may not have been invited to mediate. This might be his attempt at floating it as a trial balloon.
Why not? Back in 2000 I was thinking that perhaps sci-fi novel "The Golden Fleece" was going to come true and India/Pakistan was going to be the flash point. I could be wrong, but I do not recall a lot of ink spilled on the Indian Pakistan conflicts the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. The former could go nuke at any time. While the latter conflict is de jure part of any administrations list to do and often near the top. Not so the Indian/Pakistan conflict. So kudos to Trump. No one else did anything.
3) Free education is not all its cracked up to be. High school is free and only 75% to 80% of kids graduate in Democrat strongholds, strangleholds and fiefs. If the kids take the wrong majors then junior college just becomes High school part II.
California is in debt and Democrat plutocrats are giving away other people's money. Siunds about right for a rude and crude Democrats

4) -- Trump's new UN ambassador: No relevant experience, but "Gold" status at Trump hotels
"Over the past few decades, about 30 percent of all ambassadors have been “political” nominees, according to information from the American Foreign Service Association."

You are onto something squirrel. Keep flogging away.
"-- Trump's new UN ambassador: No relevant experience, but "Gold" status at Trump hotels"
appointed her an alternate delegate to the United Nations in 2007.[12] As part of the delegation, her responsibilities included advising the UN ambassador on US/Africa policy

Maybe the squirrel with Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease might want to amend its post. The CJD squirrel might argue that Kelly Craft has not enough experience instead of not enough.
I guess the squirrel can look up pictures but further research such as Wikipedia or anything else is beyond its capabilities.
Maybe we can entice the squirrel to dig up more information on Kelly Craft by telling the CJD squirrel that Kelly is blonde, blue eyed, and beautiful. Squirrel will bust its butt trying to find naked pics now.
Another momentous victory for liberals
"Sudanese Migrant Jailed for ‘Extremely Savage’ Murder of Woman Who Refused Sex"
It was Karar's right to take her. He a Muslim. she is not a Muslim and she was not with a male guardian. Karar was just exercising his right under sharia law!
She had it coming. She was being nasty, bigoted, xenophobic,, and Eurocentric. She badmouthed Karar Ali Karar by saying "No."
Anywho Britain is more multicultural and less white bread, so this is a great day for liberals everywhere!
