Anybody remember the movie The Last Dragon? It's about a guy that gets the spirit of Bruce Lee to possess him to fight against bad guys. I saw one of the cast being interviewed a long time ago because it was an 80s movie and he took a swipe at Chinese saying this was black kung fu and the difference he said was because Chinese are short, they stand at a stooping position while in black kung fu they don't need to stoop. All the moves are the same. It doesn't make a difference because do Chinese who are "short" only fight shorter people than they are hence why the stoop? In black kung fu do they fight only taller people than they are hence why they don't need to stoop? It's relative. It's time to sue.

This is the new model of making money off of someone else's success. Look at Europe who don't have their own social medial companies or smartphones wanting to fine everyone that does. How about tariffing EVs? How about fining airline companies for their polluting aircraft even ones that don't fly over Europe. Isn't it interesting how the countries that don't have their own AI want to regulate everyone else's? It's called a welfare state where they can't do anything for themselves so they want money from others.

BELLEAIR BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Florida’s storm-battered Gulf Coast raced against a Category 5 hurricane Monday as workers sprinted to pick up debris left over from

“This is the real deal here with Milton,” Tampa Mayor Jane Castor told a news conference. “If you want to take on Mother Nature, she wins 100% of the time.”

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Monday that it was imperative for debris from Helene to be cleared ahead of Milton’s arrival so the pieces cannot become projectiles. More than 300 vehicles gathered debris Sunday.

As evacuation orders were issued, forecasters warned of a possible 8- to 12-foot (2.4- to 3.6-meter) storm surge in Tampa Bay. That’s the highest ever predicted for the region and nearly double the levels reached two weeks ago during Helene, said National Hurricane Center spokesperson Maria Torres.

The storm could also bring widespread flooding. Five to 10 inches (13 to 25 centimeters) of rain was forecast for mainland Florida and the Keys, with as much as 15 inches (38 centimeters) expected in some places.

Speaking of money, Kamala and co. had better loosen their checkbooks and write out another bunch of "magnaminous"*750* $checks as hurricane Milton is arriving Wed and the poor victims of hurricane Helene haven't even got their asses out of the mud yet- USA use all of your 1.6 billion antiChinese money to actually help your own people-cold wars don't help anyone-it's 2024 not 1964.

After nearly four years in her job, Tai feels she is making progress on getting the U.S. and its trade partners to focus more on workers’ rights. Decades of trade deals often prioritized keeping costs low by finding cheap labor that could, in some cases, be exploited.

It is an approach that has drawn criticism from business leaders, economists and Republicans who say that the U.S. has not made enough progress on new trade partnerships and countering China's rise.

“There have been no trade deals, no talks to expand free trade agreements,” Rep. Carol Miller, R-W.Va., said in an April congressional hearing with Tai. “Compared to China’s ambitious agenda, the United States is falling behind in every region in the world.”

It's like all those kung fu/karate movies from the 80s where Hollywood tried to reconcile their severe allergy against strong asian males by making all the kung fu/karate fighters all white and caucasian- even as recent as the dragon ball movie. What this is, essentially is the West wanting to steal Chinese culture and rebrand it as their own, the same way they're doing with Qigong and Chinese medicine and Acupuncture because the Western consciousness is afraid of sinocising itself given the pull of Chinese culture, as Thorsten Pattberg observed. This is why the US has a special unit in the NSA called Tailored Access Operations geared towards stealing Chinese industrial secrets and why america cyber attacks always focus on Chinese universities. The Anglo led west has built a world order on the myth of white anglo superiority and 'high ashkenazi IQ' when the reality is a lot of theft, brute force and mafia tactics and intimidation like the kidnapping of Meng Wenzhou. The West acts like this because it has a Hobbesian and Machiavellian worldview, as expressed by Mearsheimer and Barnett today and because it has committed so many crimes, that it fears the inevitable karma of historical memory resurfacing. The British empire for instance still lives unpunished for its own historic sins.

Inevitably, the world cannot continue with such barbarity and will look towards non Western Hegemony like China for salvation.

Florida is fooked. It's soil has already reached water carrying capacity from the previous hurricane and now another super one (storm surge of Cat 5) is coming. All that water is going to come, and go nowhere at all because the soil cannot absorb any more water...

They are well and truly fooked. Anyone there should just gtfo immediately while they can
