Water Wars 2025


Want to really threaten Mexico? Build a dam in New Mexico. Rio Grande headwaters start in Colorado.

At least it looks like this idiocy will finally go away:


We survived as a species just fine for a lot longer without DST than we have with it. As for those who say "we need to stop and figure this out", there is nothing to figure out. Just end it already and be done with it. How effing stupid are some of you people?

More important things to worry about than an extra hour of daylight.
Those of us who grew up on farms or get an early start in the morning dislike DST.

Personally, I like starting my day at 3:00 am. Peaceful. Can get my work done before city slickers get up and start bitching.

Key Points
  • The administration is considering a recommendation to shut down at least 27 missions largely in Africa and in Europe, according to a separate internal memo seen by Reuters.
  • Ten of those missions targeted for closure are embassies and the rest are consulates.

WASHINGTON − President Donald Trump's administration wants to halve the State Department budget, cutting more than $30 billion, in fiscal 2026, four U.S. officials familiar with the plan said on Monday - a massive reduction that could see nearly 30 U.S. missions shut and foreign aid slashed by nearly 75%.

The sources said the cuts are outlined in a response by the White House budget office – the Office of Management and Budget – to funding requests submitted by the State Department for the upcoming fiscal year, which begins on October 1.

As part of the plan - which is yet to be finalized - the administration is considering a recommendation to shut down at least 27 missions largely in Africa and in Europe, according to a separate internal memo seen by Reuters. Ten of those missions are embassies and the rest are consulates.

That document provides ideas on how to shift towards a lower-cost operating model in at least four other overseas missions. It also outlines how some multi-mission posts such as the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization in Paris can be consolidated.

The State Department, the White House and the OMB did not respond immediately to a request for comment.
 
Intended to reduce Marco Rubio's role becus Trump doesn't like him ?
 
Maybe they'll choose to close US embassy in Beijing too.
 
At Surface Level makes sense , 10-15 Trillion down in debt ,
lowering , yearly budget in theory seems like right thing to do

Other point of view is , after Donating 80 Billion Dollar for Israel war, money has to be found from other sources , so local programs are being shut down in order to donate more to Israel

Education Fund Reduced (Check)
Destroyed University Funding (Check)
Destroyed open debate in University (Check)
Closed down Ministry of Education (Check)
Destroyed Cell Phone and Auto Sector (Check)
Diversity Initiatives Shut down , Targets minorities(Check)


It's happening in real time and it is shocking
