In general, the Dem rage machine only targets GOP members. All the anti-war protests stopped at Obama’s inauguration. Not sure who is paying these folks. Maybe we are entering the Soros Reign of Terror.

Yep. Now if you are GOP and anti-war you are a Putin stooge.

When you get far enough down in the hole, you really don't care who gives you a hand.
The story is that the Russians are considered acceptable because they already have a business relationship with DeBeers.

The availability of potable water in Joberg has reached crisis level. Russians aren't stupid; they know that funding South Africa is money down a rat hole. So, leave that to the Chinese.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] President Joe Biden took an aerial tour on Friday of the collapsed Baltimore bridge that is blocking a key East Coast shipping lane, and he pledged federal help in rebuilding the span, an idea some Republican lawmakers in the U.S. Congress have resisted.
A cargo ship crashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge on March 26, sending it splashing into the harbor and killing six people. Work to clear the wreckage and restore traffic through the Mid-Atlantic state's shipping channel is ongoing.
Biden later met the families of the six people killed in the accident. The victims were all immigrants from Mexico and Central America, who were fixing potholes on the road surface of the bridge when it collapsed.
Legal immigrants or illegal immigrants? It matters, no matter how much the Daily Mail reporter and the Biden administration try to elide the difference.
Shortly before the president's flyover, dive teams recovered the body of one of the missing highway repair workers, Maynor Yasir Suazo-Sandoval, 38, of Honduras, officials said. Three other bodies remain trapped beneath the underwater debris. Two others were previously recovered.
The White House's Office of Management & Budget (OMB), in a letter to Congress on Friday, asked the federal government to cover the bridge replacement, which federal officials say could cost at least $2 billion.
Some Republican hardliners in the U.S. House of Representatives oppose using new federal dollars to fund the bridge's reconstruction. Such a request could probably pass the Senate, controlled by Biden's fellow Democrats, but may run into trouble in the narrowly divided House.
The House Freedom Caucus, a bloc of roughly three dozen hardline Republicans who can wield outsized influence over House Speaker Mike Johnson, on Friday issued a series of demands in exchange for their cooperation.
The Freedom Caucus, whose members helped oust Johnson's predecessor last year, said Congress should seek "maximum liability" from foreign shipping companies.
It also demanded that any aid be fully offset with spending cuts and that the Endangered Species Act and other regulations are waived to avoid delays.

The fact that the Dali was carrying more refrigerated cargo containers than usual, the type that require electrical hookups from the ship's system, seems to have been lost in the discussion.
The ship's electrical systems were overloaded, especially since the engines were running at low RPM's for the channel transit. The produced electrical power output of the engine-connected generators exacerbated the system overload and the safety systems kicked in to shut the total output off.
I wasn't there but folks who know how these things work, and what was actually onboard, do.
