Did Trump Make Up “Bill Jones” to Justify Costly Overhaul of Navy Ships?
Speaking at a campaign rally in January 2024, Trump told a story about a sailor aboard the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier
who argued on behalf of steam catapults over their more modern electromagnetic counterparts.
Trump had been telling the same story since at least 2019
—but this time he gave his source a name: Bill Jones.
Trump claimed that “Bill Jones” had lamented the shift to el…

Allgäu, Late Summer (2024)
(Almost too cliché, but it doesn't take away its beauty...)
#MorningWalk #LandscapePhotography #Photography

View of a small village nestled in a hilly landscape with green pastures (incl. a few small herds of cows) and patches of forest. A large area of thick fog in further distance, the fog also drifting through the forest and gentle valleys near the village. Everything is bathed in warm late summer morning light, still casting long shadows. The view is from a higher up mountain and a sliver of the lands further back (behind the fog) are visible near the top of the image. No sky.

Since China offered a truce in the trade war last October following its threat to deprive the United States of rare-earth magnets,
the Trump administration has been happy to stop escalating.
After all, imports from China have been falling, down by 40% in the year to June, compared with the same period in 2024.
Best to declare victory and call it a day.
But the US hasn’t won this battle
– and there’s strong evidence to show it’s afraid to really try.
Last …

Is the US actually too chicken to take on China for trade?
A weak yuan guarantees Beijing massive trade surplus even as the White House tries tamp down on Chinese imports
