It's not too soon. Just-in-time production.

All because Volvo sources so many parts from outside the USA.

Airbus chose to assemble A320s in Tianjin from 2009. To date, they've produced over 750 aircraft there destined for the Chinese airlines. The administration is following China's playbook......Given we're a large country market, build here what you sell here. And that's a reasonable request from a large country market, so as to create jobs and share some of the profits. China's single-aisle COMAC CA919, that you speak of, is full of US and other western components. I suspect the trade war is going to cripple production. COMAC gained airliner experience from 1986 when McDonnell Douglas with US approval gave them a license to produce the MD82 (second generation DC9). I flew on many China Northern MD82s.

Things that make you go hmm. On Monday, White House director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, Michael Kratsios, said the US currently has the ability to “manipulate time and space”, and “leave distance annihilated.”* On April 9th, President Trump said, “We have a weapon that no one has a clue what it is. And this is the most powerful weapon in the world, which is more powerful than anyone even close.” *In 1915, Albert Einstein presented his theory of general relativity to the Prussian Academy of Sciences in Berlin and proved that time travel is possible. How fast time passes in your surroundings varies with your velocity, so the faster you travel, the slower you experience time.

“The level of the tariff increases announced so far is significantly larger than anticipated. The same is likely to be true of the economic effects, which will include higher inflation and slower growth. Tariffs are highly likely to generate at least a temporary rise in inflation. The inflationary effects could also be more persistent.” Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell

But they've still never told us who was behind the great drone show. .

The 145% China tariffs should be painful for Boeing. Did you know only 50% of Boeing aircraft parts are produced in the US? Coming from China: AVIC SAC Commercial Aircraft Co. produces the massive aft fuselage sections and vertical fins. Chengdu Aircraft Industrial Co. produces forward entry doors, automatic over-wing exit doors and vertical fin rudders. Beijing Beimo produces the brake rotors. Zhongbeixing Aviation Technology Xianghe produces the landing gear.

Democrats endangering America. ,

President Trump wants to give [taxpayer] money and an airplane ticket to any illegal migrant who chooses to self-deport. “We´re going to give them a stipend. We´re going to give them some money and a plane ticket, and then we´re going to work with them - if they´re good - if we want them back in, we´re going to work with them to get them back in as quickly as we can.”

The Trump administration has referred New York Attorney General Letitia James for prosecution over allegations of mortgage fraud. The referral comes from the Director of the US Federal Housing Finance Agency William J. Pulte, in a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. James falsified records so she could get a $218,780 mortgage to buy a home in Virginia in August 2023, just weeks before she prosecuted Trump in his civil fraud trial. James claimed that, despite serving as New York's top law official, it was her principal residence. Also, James bought a residence in both 1983 and 2000 and got her father to co-sign, but listed him and herself as husband and wife. Pulte also cites an earlier case where James bought a Brooklyn residence in February 2001. James consistently misrepresented the same property as only having four units in both building permit applications and numerous mortgage documents and applications. 'While this was a long time ago, it raises serious concerns about the validity of Ms. James representations on mortgage applications. For both properties listed above, James falsified records in order to meet certain lending requirements and receive favorable loan terms,’ Pulte said. He accuses James of wire fraud, mail fraud, bank fraud and false statements to a financial institution.

I don't get all the headlines, "Maryland man wrongfully deported.........." He is a illegal alien, not a US citizen nor a Maryland man (a Maryland man was born in Maryland). Abrego Garcia illegally immigrated to the U.S. in 2011 at the age of 16. In 2019, an immigration judge said he could stay, which I say was improper because he criminally entered the country. Illegal aliens have no right to due process. .

I would be proud to say so. No, I was abroad during its development. But a former Mack engineer, a friend of mine, is involved. I've been all over this truck. The design, the spec including the perfectly-sized X12, is simply perfect. I've seen a tri-axle lowboy tractor and it also really looked good.

I can tell you first hand, the Autocar is an extremely well engineered truck. I've been all over it. The Autocar is the truck that I would buy.
