Personal input on Renault/Nissan merger: my Dad was a mechanic owned an 8 bay garage, well known in the region, brilliant mechanic could diagnose car problem by listening, rebuilt a 1926 Ford by hand, asked by county and towns to rebuild antique fire engines, etc. He knew cars, he worked for Renault later in life after retirement and quit, because he said one of the worst designed, built vehicles ever! There’s no way Nissan should even get close to that piece of shite company. Nissan will be tainted. The french should focus on food/wine and nothing else (my opinion). So the question is, why is this even under consideration?

Pelosi has been using the Air Force for years racking up 100s of 1,000s of dollars. She almost as bad as Obama. It makes me wonder if one of the reason Trump cancelled the flight was to get people digging into the abuse and misuse of tax payer money for years. Pelosi has been on the top of politician corruption chronicles for years.
Judicial Watch has obtained documents showing how Democrat House speaker Nancy Pelosi “treats the Air Force like her personal airline,” in the words of Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton
s.
Judicial Watch reports (emphasis added):
“In response to a series of requests for military aircraft, one Defense Department official wrote, “Any chance of politely querying [Pelosi’s team] if they really intend to do all of these or are they just picking every weekend?…[T]here’s no need to block every weekend ‘just in case’…” The email also notes that Pelosi’s office had, “a history of canceling many of their past requests.”
One DOD official complained about the “hidden costs” associated with the speaker’s last minute changes and cancellations. “We have…folks prepping the jets and crews driving in (not a short drive for some), cooking meals and preflighting the jets etc.”
The documents include a discussion of House Ethics rules and Defense Department policies as they apply to the speaker’s requests for staff, spouses and extended family to accompany her on military aircraft. In May 2008, for example, Pelosi requested that her husband join her on a Congressional Delegation (CODEL) into Iraq. The DOD explained to Pelosi that the agency has a written policy prohibiting spouses from joining CODEL’s into combat zones.
Documents obtained from the U.S. Army include correspondence from Speaker Pelosi’s office requesting an Army escort and three military planes to transport Pelosi and other members of Congress to Cleveland, Ohio, for the funeral services of the late Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones. Pelosi noted in her letter of August 22, 2008, that such a request, labeled “Operation Tribute” was an “exception to standard policy.”
The documents also detail correspondence from intermediaries for Speaker Pelosi issuing demands for certain aircraft and expressing outrage when requested military planes were not available. “It is my understanding there are no G5s available for the House during the Memorial Day recess. This is totally unacceptable…The speaker will want to know where the planes are…” wrote Kay King, Director of the House Office of Interparliamentary Affairs. In a separate email, when told a certain type of aircraft would not be available, King writes, “This is not good news, and we will have some very disappointed folks, as well as a very upset [s]peaker.”
During another email exchange DOD staff advised Kay King that one Pelosi military aircraft request could not be met because of “crew rest requirements” and offered to help secure commercial travel. Kay King responded: “We appreciate the efforts to help the codel [sic] fly commercially but you know the problem that creates with spouses. If we can find another way to assist with military assets, we would like to do that.””
