I've not been THAT buried in electioneering or Pre Jitters, to get some of these done...

This one has the best of Intel's 9th Generation, the i7-9850H. As I've said in this space before, that "H" is very important, it means that this computer will allow a 3rd or 4th Gen NVMe SSD to run using all four "lanes" of PCIe available to it, as opposed to the "U" variety which are limited to three... A huge hit to performance...

In my experience these are comparable to the AMD 5500u, I've run both extensively and they average around 13,500 on a Passmark CPU Test. About twice what any 10th Gen "U" will do, and better than 10th GEN "H" processors as well. 10th Gen sucked, across the board, they are very inexpensive right now, and in some cases are worth it, the last laptops with onboard DVD-RW's all 10th Gens...

So check it out, a good deal, last long, run good...

WESTERN DIGITAL'S 1TB WD SN850X (!). DELL LATITUDE 5401. 14" FHD 1920x1080 Display. With 32GB RAM! "H" Processors Support FOUR Lanes of PCIe For the SSD! Ready for FREE UPGRADE to Win 11. Windows 10!

Not doctored or anything the Trump Sh*t Show...

Can you maybe see why other leaders just don't take Trump, or Trump's America, very seriously? I mean look who's at the table here... Only ONE person here has ANY foreign policy chops, John Bolton... The man at the far left, is our former Commerce Secretary, a well known grifter and bank fraudster... At the other end the "President's" daughter, who BTW had ongoing personal business worth millions with the people across the table...

But she's Snow White, right? She's next to a guy who addressed the RNC the same day he left Federal Prison... Bolton, and to lesser degree Pompeo, are serious foreign policy wonks, they belong there. Mulvaney? Ivana?

And the Chinese couldn't be happier, what bunch of maroons...

I think it is odd that two very wrong notions keep coming out of Trump's mouth...

Not lies really but if Trump doesn't understand the nature of certain things, like NATO or tariffs, it should concern everyone..
He keeps saying that China is paying us billions of dollars... China is not paying one cent of any tariff... You are.

Every time you buy a computer or a TV... If you ordered an electric car delivered at the dock in SF, you'd understand this very well, since after you pay the Chinese for the car, and they leave in a boat, you still owe Uncle Sam the exact same amount, 100% tariff...

You pay.

And this NATO thing...

Like there was this Bank of NATO that all the nations are supposed to deposit 2% of GDP in every year... NOT!

Ever since Munich, and I mean the one with Hi**er and Chamberlain, we have understood what the result of appeasement is. Europe HAS stepped up, Poland is ready, the Baltic States and Finland as well. Even France and Germany understand how short the distance is from Kyiv to Berlin or Paris...

You can't be the leader of the Free World and sell Ukraine down the river at the same time.

Trump=Chamberlain...

Jim Himes says comparisons between Trump’s attitude to Putin and 1930s PM’s stance on Hi**er ‘give Trump way too much credit’

An Update!

As many know my nephew, John Johnson's boy, Dustin, and his lady Abbi, were badly burned in an accident involving a flaming cocktail at a newly opened bar in Dallas TX, about a week back now...

If you can find it in heart, and your wallet, they could use a hand... Every little bit helps, really it does...
