Pictures: China - Laos rail marks success of Belt and Road, friendship and prosperity

https://www.thestandard.com.hk/breaking-news/section/3/183977/Pictures:-China-–-Laos-rail-marks-success-of-Belt-and-Road,%C2%A0friendship%C2%A0and-prosperity-for-the-two-countries%C2%A0

Xi said the China-Laos Railway is a landmark project of high-quality Belt and Road cooperation. In recent years, with the goals of high standard, sustainability and improvement of people's livelihood, China has continuously improved the level of Belt and Road cooperation, achieved mutual benefits and win-win results for participating countries, and opened up new space for the development of the world economy.

As a docking project between the Belt and Road Initiative and Laos' strategy to convert itself from a landlocked country to a land-linked hub, it will slash the travel time between the two cities to about 10 hours.

Sleek bullet trains will travel at a speed of 160 km per hour, through mountains and valleys.

……..

Faster than any train in Western Hemisphere…in Laos.

CNN Poll: 73% of Americans do not want Republicans to Investigate Dick Pix!

https://crooksandliars.com/2023/01/cnn-poll-73-americans-says-house

"It's been three weeks, John, since the republicans took over the House -- most of that first week was just about getting Kevin McCarthy elected Speaker, but when we asked Americans in our brand-new poll whether or House Republican leaders have the right priorities, nearly three-quarters of Americans, 73% say, no, they do not."

"46% of republican and Republican-leaning independents in this poll agree with the majority of the public at large. They don't think that Republican leaders in Congress are on the right priorities."

………

A poll question I would like asked is:

Do you support the D Party policy platform or the R Party policy platform?

Ha, trick question, Republicans have no platform!

………

Obiter…Can we put a stake through the heart of the RW inspired meme that CNN is becoming Fox lite, cause we liberals like to deal with facts and evidence, not conspiracy so much?

Mr. Santos should but must not resign! Political albatrosses are a rare species. Hang that foul bird

around Republican rednecks until the November 2024, I say.

Slow cooker recommended.

If 142 people ask for me to resign, I'll resign," Santos told reporters outside his office on Capitol Hill.

Santos later clarified that he was in fact referring to the more than 142,000 people who voted to elect him in New York's Third Congressional District in November.

…….

Come on, this avian is dropping turds daily on republicans!

The Republican Party is dead. Only the corporate media can prop up the rotting corpse.

Did we not all, including all scribes, just now bear witness to just that? Did we not all smell the rot?

Does the mass media know this former party has no political platform? Who does that? It’s not a political party if there is nothing the assembled like minded agrees on except to hail Dear Leader. That’s more a cult.

The Democratic Party platform was painstakingly put together to form a cohesive omnibus contract being offered to the people. That’s a Party.

The former Republican Party literally offers nothing. Zilch, nada. You can’t take their platform out on any policy waters, it doesn’t exist.

The mass/corporate media should focus on how the other side only offers a dead agenda, based on a non exist not political party platform, and a laundry list of non-existent grievances.

It’s like his former Party has turned into Twitter wanting to rule the world by tweets and fantasy theories, not science theories.

The Republican Party is dead, only the corporate media is holding up the corpse.

Why?

Republican organized chaos is distracting from much...like the insulin cap of $35 now in effect!

The year begins, in other ways as well, with the hidden fruits of 2 years of liberal labor, in contrast to the live on tv rot of fascism.

Starting next month, a $35 cap on insulin prices will go into effect for millions of Medicare recipients. The lower pricing is one of the first of several policy measures Americans will see in the coming months and years under the Inflation Reduction Act signed into law in August.

The bill also requires pharmaceutical companies to pay Medicare rebates for drugs where prices surpass inflation for Medicare Part D and mandates that the government negotiate drug prices on some prescription drugs for people who have Medicare — the first time Medicare has been given that power. While it’s unclear how many people will ultimately benefit from the various changes, 49 million people are enrolled in Medicare Part D plans, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.
