Am I the last to know? The Qatar jet offered to Trump turns out to be an item unsuccessfully for sale since 2020. The "gift" is not only a Trump grift, but also an attempted scam on the US taxpayer, who will assume costs the owners no longer wish to pay. onemileatatime.com/qatari-royal...

Sorry, read the notes from the bottom up to see the letter to the editor I tried to send to my local La Crosse Tribune this morning. I can't get a screen to do it, so here it is.
Derrick Van Orden, DO YOUR JOB.
March 9, 2025 at 2:07 PM
We pay their salaries. They are not kings. We are not serfs.
We are Derrick Van Orden’s employer and he won’t even have a town hall to meet with us. We are Donald Trump’s employer. He is not a king, either, nor does he deserve the obsequious servitude his cult gives him.
March 9, 2025 at 2:06 PM
Yet, apparently, Mr. Van Orden feels he deserves a “special thanks” to do his job. The job he is PAID for by you and me. Check it out. Mr. Van Orden thinks government should be good for you if you give him some special praise for his work. Our representatives are there to work for us.
March 9, 2025 at 2:04 PM
He says in this same email he will always protect the farmers. He has also said that about veterans and the VA and Medicaid and Social Security and Medicare, but those seem to be falling under the knife by Trump and Musk, with Van Orden’s help.
March 9, 2025 at 2:04 PM
Our tax dollars PAY him his salary.
This Republican just sent an email with three endorsements from Dairy Associations, praising Derrick Van Orden’s intervention on behalf of their needs, as if Mr. Van Orden was not their PAID representative, sent to Washington to do the very thing he did.

Our Representatives in Government Need to Do Their Jobs
I got an email from Derrick Van Orden, my paid representative in the third district of Wisconsin. He goes to Washington on your and my dime. We pay him to represent us, all of us, Democrats and Republicans, even if we didn’t vote for him.

French satellite company Eutelsat is in talks with the EU to replace Elon Musk’s Starlink system in Ukraine.

CEO Eva Berneke confirmed that the company can deploy 40,000 terminals, equivalent to the number of Starlink terminals currently used by Ukraine.

European resilience in action.

I love this.
In vast areas of the US, the sentiments expressed in this wonderful letter from a British man about why it's a privilege to pay tax to enable the National Health Service to run would see him probably certified as insane and labelled a "socialist".
