French Not Doing Enough!
When Rishi Sunak met Emmanual Macron in 2021 the UK pledged 48 million Pounds to help the French. To help intercept migrant boats crossing the Channel. Some wondered if Macron had gotten Sunak by the old proverbials. It looked like the UK was giving the French money for nothing and maybe we did. With French interceptions of migrants down to 42% from around 45% one wonders if are they having a laugh at our expense.

How the young prince seized power in Saudi Arabia?
Hear what an older relative has to say: He is forced to relinquish his power and cede the title of crown prince to his younger relative, a man almost half his age. This is Mohammed bin Salman. In the West we just call him MBS. And from that moment in June, he consolidated power so quickly and so thoroughly that in Saudi Arabia he is known only as the crown prince, MBS becomes king.

Wishy-Washy Will Welcome MBS.
Rishi Sunak will welcome King Mohammed Bin Sultan. The two apparently spoke on the telephone and discussed various issues. Including trade and investment and the UK's long-standing friendship with KSA. Of course, controversially, the UK has been training Saudi forces and shipping weapons across to the country. To help Saudi fight Houthi rebels in the land of Yemen. The Houthis are backed by Iran. The US is also backing Saudi in its war with the Houthis. However, thanks to the Chinese, a rapprochement has taken place between the two sides. So for now at least KSA and IRI are BFFs.

That's what the election night results looked like on American television. - Kennedy's victory, sir, let me tell you this. If they ever teach this machine to talk, you and I won't work. The widespread use of color television in the late 1960s and 1970s changed everything. But it would take several more decades before the media would adapt to the current color scheme - which rooms are the hardest to change from blue to red? Which ones are easy? -President Obama won all those blue states. -He must turn the voting statuses blue. To understand where this red state, blue state business came from, let's go back to when network television first used color charts to announce election results.
