Growing angry calls within South Korea to cancel the entire $200 billion investment plans in the US building chip and battery factories to hire Americans, after the US suddenly comes out with the MAGA-America-First law that suddenly stops all sales of Korean Electric Vehicles. The Yoon administration is also getting huge pummeling for one-sidely supporting the US unconditionally, offering to pump hundreds of billions of dollars into the US economy, without getting anything back in return from the US. The pitchforks are out for Yoon, who is thought of as an incompetent stupid American a$$-kisser who gave away the entire country.

Next time I see a “Chevrolet” built in Korea by Koreans, I will yell at the sky as well.

Seems like Chinabot is confused by who is at the White House. Ain’t no MAGA in Washington these days.

Ni Hao.

By the way what has happened to your QUAD? India refused to join the Russian sanctions and instead buys all their oil. India joins Russia and China in a military exercise. Japan refuses to drop out of the joint Japan-Russian oil ventures in the Sakhalin Islands. Is this really a QUAD, and not a QUACK?

We got your QUAD right here!

…the S-quad!

…and S stands for seeeeexy!

…at least the middle two… kinda the Osama bin Laden and Bernie Sanders you would smash when your MAGA friends weren’t looking.

The other two… meh… why not. Borderline alcohol poisoning promotes the lowest forms of diversity.

Who cares. I would be thinking of Ivanka Trump anyway.

All that Russia China Inda Japan jazz doesn’t hold up to a force multiplier like this.

Diversity always Trumps systemic patriarchy.

ignores German Navy sending ships to defend Taiwan

Huh?

The Bundesmarine won’t be in the Pacific until 2024. That’s two years from now.

General Eberhard Zorn told Reuters the Bundeswehr planned on sending troops to participate in training exercises in Australia next year, while the navy would send a fleet of several more ships to the region in 2024.

A new study conducted by scientists at the University of Colorado confirms the vast majority of humanity has had absolutely no choice in the matter of whether they wish to get the Covid-19 injection or not because the vaccinated have been transmitting antibodies generated by the injections through aerosols.

The findings should however come as no surprise because a confidential Pfizer document had already confirmed exposure to the mRNA injections was perfectly possible by skin-to-skin contact and breathing the same air as someone who had been given the Covid-19 jab.

They also, unfortunately, add weight to the claims made by Dr Phillipe van Welbergen, who demonstrated that graphene, an alleged undisclosed ingredient of the Covid-19 injections, is being transmitted from the vaccinated to the not-vaccinated and destroying red blood cells and causing dangerous blood clots.

This is why my wife was also told not to get the vaccine…

The government told me covid is deadly.

“Science” told me the vaccinated spread covd.

I evoked the “stand your ground” defense and have been methodically killing the vaccinated.

Some call it “ràpe and murder”.

I call it the castle doctrine.

Whatever.

The police are skeptical but, hey, legally, there is nothing they can do.

It’s a shame more people are not informed about just how evil Communism really is. It takes away everything dignified and special about each individual human and reduces us to collective dust beneath the feet of “the elite” who arrogate to themselves a right to rule over us for perpetuity. I almost said it was a “divine” right, but they worship no gods other than themselves.

I believe Korean Man was talking about this.

After grabbing the No. 2 spot in the U.S. electric vehicle market with stylish, long-range models, Hyundai Motor and Kia are the automakers with the most to lose from new rules that halt subsidies for EVs made outside North America.

But the Inflation Reduction Act signed into law by U.S. President Joe Biden last month excludes Hyundai Motor and its affiliate Kia from federal tax credits because they don’t yet make EVs in North America, knocking their EV ambitions in the short term at least, a Hyundai official, parts suppliers, analysts and car dealers said.

An official at a large Hyundai supplier who has spoken to senior officials at the company told Reuters that the automaker was caught off guard by the law.

“So much for not letting us down,” said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity. “It’s a big mess.”

South Korea has said the new law may violate treaties such as the U.S.-South Korea free trade agreement.

Analysts said it was too early yet to quantify how much the new rules will cost the companies in revenue and profit, but several said they would likely use incentives to attract American shoppers, a move that could push up costs.

And interesingly, a columnist of a prominent Korean conservative newspaper, the Joongang Ilbo, is calling the situation “MAGA all over again”

https://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/2022/08/28/opinion/columns/Biden-electric-vehicles-subsidy/20220828200144114.html

Biden’s signing of the IRA Act reminds us of the plain yet cold truth behind international relations: values give way to national interests. That may be what the Yoon Suk-yeol administration forgot while switching fast to a “values-based alliance” so ardently championed by Biden. Over semiconductors and the Thaad missile defense system, where Korea’s future is at stake, America and China are pressuring Korea to choose between them. The IRA Act could be a confession that the United States will not take responsibility for the results of choices Korea makes. Another concern has surfaced on the foreign and trade policy front of the Yoon administration.

The exclusion of Korean EV companies from federal subsidies isn’t that big of an issue here, but it has opened Pres. Yoon to criticism since he touted a much more improved relationship and alliance with the US during the campaign and presidency.

Now some people are saying, “if the US is going to do things that will negatively affect us without giving us a heads up, where is the ‘improved’ realtionship and alliance that Yoon promised us?”

So let’s see.

Setnaffa took what is a genuine Korean concern and demeaned it by calling those who bought it up ‘Chinese’ and ‘Chinabots’.

This from a person who claims ‘loves’ Korea and Koreans.

This setnaffa does not ‘love’ Korea.

His claim of ‘loving’ Korea and Koreans are simply a cover for his real purpose in the ROK Drop, which is spreading fake news and lies for his own purposes.

And by his demeaning of a genuine Korean concern by the use of the words ‘Chinese’ and ‘Chinabots’ it shows his racism is alive and well.

Very unexpectedly, a co-worker (and friend) died quickly and suddenly of a heart attack on Thursday. He was at work the day it happened and it was an ordinary day. Conversation around the office was normal and there were no indications anything was wrong.

He went home and dropped dead around 7:00 PM.

He was healthy, wasn’t on any medications, wasn’t being seen or treated for anything, but did have a little pudge around the middle … which he did work on. He and his wife walked 3 miles every evening. Being Mormon, he didn’t drink or smoke. He wasn’t quite Social Security age but he was in the cabal-defined “high-risk” cohort.

His only known pathology? Double-vaxxed and double boosted. He liked traveling to visit the kids and grandkids so he was one of the first in line to get the required jabs. He listened to my objections about the mandates, and the known health risks they presented, but he still took them without hesitation.

RIP Buddy.

Live life to its fullest Droppers.

Congratulations to Bill Gates: Microsoft Windows is now the second most annoying, intrusive, and useless product he sponsors.

At the same time, if you’re dumb enough to turn your immune system into live service, go ahead and get six jabs already.

Fat Leonard has flown the coop.

SAN DIEGO — The military contractor who pleaded guilty to orchestrating the “Fat Leonard” corruption scandal and was under house arrest in San Diego is now on the run after cutting off his GPS monitoring ankle bracelet over the weekend, federal authorities said.

Supervisory Deputy U.S. Marshal Omar Castillo said Leonard Glenn Francis removed the tracker Sunday, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.

After police officers found Francis’ home empty, the San Diego Regional Fugitive Task Force and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service began a high-profile search, the newspaper reported.

Castillo said neighbors witnessed U-Haul moving trucks coming to and from Francis’ home in the days before his escape.

WASHINGTON — Russia is buying millions of artillery shells and rockets from North Korea, according to newly declassified American intelligence, a sign that global sanctions have severely restricted its supply chains and forced Moscow to turn to pariah states for military supplies.

The disclosure comes days after Russia received initial shipments of Iranian-made drones, some of which American officials said had mechanical problems. U.S. government officials said Russia’s decision to turn to Iran, and now North Korea, was a sign that sanctions and export controls imposed by the United States and Europe were hurting Moscow’s ability to obtain supplies for its army.

“a sign that global sanctions have severely restricted its supply chains and forced Moscow to turn to pariah states for military supplies.”

…or a sign that Russia has realized they are going to be fighting NATO by proxy for a long time and pariah states are selling exactly what they need at amazing prices.

The same people telling me Russia has been losing this war for 6 months (as they made constant gains and continiously achieved every stated goal) are the same people telling me inflation is good and I will be happy eating bugs.

Stephen, that’s hilarious. You must mean Starship Troopers as imagined by Uwe Boll, with Russia being the “Mobile Infantry” losing to the “Bugs” (Ukraine?). Why else would they be buying inferior munitions and using Chechans?

Here’s a link to what you reported about:
https://www.foxnews.com/world/us-says-russia-purchasing-rockets-artillery-shells-from-north-korea

The constant drone of Russia failing, China Failing, et cetera, is really just wishful thinking from the leftist press. Anything to distract from Sponge-Brain Crapped-Pants and his minstrel show dismantling the American economy brick by brick.

Because I haven’t yelled at the sky over covid in a while…

The FDA has now emergency authorized the Bivalent Booster due to some imaginary emergency of some sort.

This booster was tested on… uh… 8 mice.

These 8 mice may or may not have had some benefit from the booster. You can see what you want to see. The results were all over the place. The results were nothing that would convince a rational person to inject an experimental substance.

Pretty soon, million of people will take it.

If you trust the science, you should too.

Another embalmer who chose not to reveal his name added, “I can tell you with certainty that the clots Richard [Hirschman] has shown online are a phenomenon that I have not witnessed until probably the middle of last year. That is pretty much all I have to say about it. I have no knowledge as to what is causing the clots, but they did seemingly start showing up around the middle of 2021.”

“You can rest assured that the clots we are seeing are not something we ever saw prior to last year,” the anonymous embalmer added.

I’m not adding an image here because they’re kind of rough to look at. Follow the links if you want to see them.

In the meantime, be sure to follow your own doctor’s advice.
