Case of the pot calling the kettle black. Just seemed fitting. Not my words but Wikipedia: "The pot calling the kettle black" is a proverbial idiom that may be of Spanish origin, of which English versions began to appear in the first half of the 17th century. It means a situation in which somebody accuses someone else of a fault which the accuser shares, and therefore is an example of psychological projection, or hypocrisy. Use of the expression to discredit or deflect a claim of wrongdoing by attacking the originator of the claim for their own similar behaviour is the tu quoque logical fallacy.

Prayers for all of you, Jesus the great physician and healer. He hears you, prepping the way.

Omgoodness - what a bunch of bunk. Probably that same German Italian consortium that built it and has had construction issues from the start.

This movie has really put the libs in a twitter-lots of anger over it. On YT every other clip is on the movie and Hollyweird and dems spouting anger and baloney about it. Guess hits too close to home.

Noticed the "soon" word there, too - And then my friend over there said that KM is saying to expect this very soon and at the huge international conference they are going to show the rate to the new investors coming into iraq..... and the carrot keeps dangling. 😆

Master Yota691, absolutely no poke at you and as I read through this was thinking "so what - he'll never be prosecuted." Waste of time n money hoping he wiill.

Love Simon & Garfunkel- always have and the more unusual ones - The Boxer, Sounds of Silence, all good.

MENA HOME UAE GULF MENA WORLD BUSINESS OPINION CLIMATE HEALTH LIFESTYLE ARTS & CULTURE TRAVEL SPORT WEEKEND PODCASTS Iraqi Cabinet approves currency revaluation amid unstable exchange rate The dinar has lost nearly 20 per cent of its value following US moves to stop the flow of dollars to sanctioned countries Sinan Mahmoud Feb 07, 2023 Listen In English Listen in Arabic Powered by automated translation The Iraqi government approved a currency revaluation on Tuesday to strengthen the dinar against the dollar. During its weekly meeting, the Cabinet set the official exchange rate at 1,300 Iraqi dinar per US dollar. The previous rate was at 1,460 Iraqi dinar to the dollar. The revaluation plan was submitted by the Central Bank of Iraq on Monday as the Iraqi dinar has lost more than 10 per cent of its value in recent months amid pressure from the US to stop the flow of dollars to countries under US sanctions, mainly Iran. In a brief statement, the CBI said it “submitted the outcomes of its study regarding changing the official exchange rate to the cabinet.” It didn’t give more details. Shortly after the statement, Dhia Al Nasiri, an adviser to the Prime Minister, said the exchange rate “will be changed based on the Central Bank of Iraq suggestion”, but gave no further details.

Amid a liquidity crisis due to plummeting oil prices on the international market, Iraq’s Central Bank devalued the dinar in December 2020 to 1,460 dinars per dollar for banks and 1,470 dinars for individuals. But since December, the Iraqi dinar has wavered against the dollar as the Federal Reserve Bank of New York introduced measures to stop the flow of dollars to sanctioned countries through a state-run currency auction. The currency auction has been mired in accusations of corruption, money laundering and the channelling of dollars to Iraq’s neighbours including Iran, Syria and Lebanon, using forged bills. Iran and Syria are under US sanctions. The US has blacklisted several Iraqi banks for their suspicious foreign transactions, while the new scrutiny measures have been brought in to scrutinise the process of releasing money from the US to cover the imports and other needs. That has pushed the dinar exchange rate in the black market to more than 1,600 to the dollar, fuelling public anger over soaring goods prices. On Monday, the exchange rate on the street hovered around 1,630 dinars to the dollar. Updated: February 07, 2023, 9:35 AM

Thank you - how long before the extremist is dead and would the world react the same way if it was the Holy Scriptures?

Amen

Read he passed from leukemia- true?

And if oil is so bad sales-wise, why keep signing up to reduce oil production?

"Liberal critics of the agreement said the rapid border procedure risked reviving tragic scenes that played out on the Greek islands several years ago by creating even more overcrowded and inadequate migration camps on EU periphery." Italy as a country with a lot of coastal area will take the brunt. Easy for land locked nations to point the finger.

Latest developments on the debt ceiling deal: President Joe Biden on Sunday announced a debt ceiling deal that he said would avoid a “catastrophic default” by the federal government while keeping the economy fluid.House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said at a news conference Sunday that he expects that over 95% of House Republicans will support the 99-page bill. The House is expected to take up the measure Wednesday.The House Rules Committee is expected to vote on the bill Tuesday afternoon. Three of the nine Republicans on the panel — which is divided 9-4 between Republicans and Democrats — are conservative hard-liners who are critical of the agreement, meaning there's a chance they could kill the bill if no Democrats support it.Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., a Congressional Progressive Caucus member, said Sunday that a "large majority" of House Democrats are "in flux" over whether they will support the deal. Top Democratic concerns during a call Sunday night with the White House included Covid relief clawbacks and work requirements for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. More White House calls with House members are expected Monday and Tuesday.

Wow yes it does!

I'm sure this is totally wrong, however the thought occurred to me Iraq has been working the budget. Maybe flat lined because budget has rate in it and that rate will affect what forex shows. Just a thought, nothing concrete behind it. 😀 more like wishful thinking.

Sad comment toward content and what's so blatantly happening in the world today. Not at you 🙂 Romans 1:21-32 21For even though they knew God, they did not [o]honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their reasonings, and their senseless hearts were darkened. 22Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23and they exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible mankind, of birds, four-footed animals, and [p]crawling creatures. 24Therefore God gave them up to vile impurity in the lusts of their hearts, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. 25For they exchanged the truth of God for [q]falsehood, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed [r]forever. Amen. 26For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged natural relations for that which is contrary to nature, 27and likewise the men, too, abandoned natural relations [s]with women and burned in their desire toward one another, males with males committing [t]shameful acts and receiving in [u]their own persons the due penalty of their error. 28And just as they did not see fit [v]to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a depraved mind, to do those things that are not proper, 29people having been filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, and evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and malice; they are gossips, 30slanderers, [w]haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31without understanding, untrustworthy, unfeeling, and unmerciful; 32and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also approve of those who practice them.

Sounds like from Yota's thread that the budget passed and the Kurdistan issues surmounted.

Oh Smokey, how sad is this. What happened that the mill close? Are the quakes an extension of the new Madrid fault? I was surprised at how far reaching it is but don't recall to Carolinas.

Yota, wow talk about struggle. Thank you Auto correct had your name as Yoga - apologies

I know it's coming and will be the end of the earth. Still sad given I've never experienced what is to come yet I know will be far grander than I can imagine.

If that happens, sleepy joe will never get re-elected.

Reminds me of a line from a song - "it isn't only the wind that dances on the prairie. " I recall it is a faith song. Just always liked it, can picture Jesus and angels.
