cole_stephen Piracy, hijackings, lawlessness, me myself i, these all come as sordid side effects of rejecting Gods Majesty. Sadly the world is plagued by the excesses & extremisms of the capitalism religion. What is needed is more Sunday Schools & Mosques to moderate the situation...

donnyc1975 Same happened to a French order. It was reported yesterday they one shipment due to France was bought for cash on the tarmac at the airport in China at 3-4x the going rate by the USA.

China is at war with the international community.CHINESE VIRUS.

Not sure but in our briefing today Pres said we were receiving product from CCP More corona we will never learn !!!

Yesterday it was a French shipment and today US bought a Canada bound shipment. This is called solidarity with allies in difficult times 😶

Piracy.

This is why all of the celebrities including Meghan Markle(who was suppose to be in Canada decided to be in the US) are all in the US. During hard times which country do they trust more?

This is the excuse Canada will use to move their forces to the border.

Trump has just signed an executive order telling American companies their products go to Americans’ needs first. Sad some of their CEO’s needed to be told that.
