I am not sure how many here follow Panama Canal news, but...

Ilya Espino de Marotta, Class of '85, Degree in Marine Engineering, has just been named the New Administrator of the Panama Canal.

Quote:

She was previously an assistant admin...but now...

We have friends in high places...and she is not the only one, but one of the best.

She deserves our congratulations!

Deserves the star but...

Asked AI: what college is associated with the word "howdy"?

Answer: The word "howdy" is famously associated with Texas A&M University.
It is the university's official greeting. Students, faculty, and alumni (known as Aggies) use it as a way to promote friendliness and a sense of community on campus. If you ever visit the campus in College Station, Texas, you will hear it used by almost everyone you encounter.

HOWDY Mrs. Espino de Marotta!

On a short list of dumbest geopolitical/strategic decisions in the history of America. Should have been impeachable.

Something he managed to accomplish in his first 9 months. As I laid out in another thread, in year 4 he set the world on a deadly spiral for 50 years.

It's poderosa, dimwit, and the phrase translates as "50 powerful women".

It's a hallmark of the left to capitulate and give control to foreign entities. The only people they are violent against are conservatives.
