Crook, bad connections and rat eaten wiring causes fires also. Nev

Today they often push good homes down to build new ones . Months of Beep Beep and hammering and sanding noises and streets Blocked with equipment and constant dust about. Really lovely quality of Life NOT! for other residents. Also crazy cost. . Nev

Money spent on improving a property for sale is rarely wasted.

Yep, the U.S. Supreme Court has essentially stated that Trumps claims that there's a major economic "emergency" that must be corrected by the application of his random and erratic and constantly-changing tariffs, is totally unbelievable BS. Just like most of what comes out of his mouth. https://www.scotusblog.com/2026/02/supreme-court-strikes-down-tariffs/#:~:text=IEEPA—'regulate' and ',Chief Justice John Roberts wrote.

Did you know that Chinese lanterns are banned in many U.S. States, because they're deemed an unacceptable fire hazard? They have caused a substantial number of house fires in the U.S. I guess oil lanterns are just a tiny bit safer - but fires started by kerosene lanterns were quite common before electric lighting, and they're still common in developing/third world countries, where they're still used.

What about Magic Lanterns? Nev

Anyhow it gives Trump a Headache. He's NOT trained to deal with Knock Backs. Let's see how he handles it? Nev

But HE doesn't ALWAYS chicken out. He's Biffo'd Iran Before. and they are an OLD Civilisation. Nev

Yeah.. and for that, they should finally give Chump the Nobel Peace prize. And inscribe on it "Earned in about 20 times longer than Obama." I am sure he would love that.

Yep. Implied threat. That don't call him TACO for nothing. TACO: Trump Always Chickens Out.

There are calls for the money taken as tariffs to be returned to the busineses that paid them, but how can those small businesses return the small portions that individuals paid? Imagine Walmart trying to identify each customer who bought a packet of AA batteries that came from China and carried a tarriff amount, which Walmart had passed on in its retail pricing. Don't forget the sales taxes that are applied to the shelf price at the check-out. We might complain about a 10% GST, but it is a much simpler way to tax sales than the multi-layer system in the USA. If teh retail price of thos batteries rose due to the passing on of tarrif costs, how does the extra sales tax get calculated and returned? What a mess!!!!

"The 2025 Holden Ay"... Ford Grill, Holden on the dash... 260HP petreol/electric engine in a body that looks like it would be blown apart with a powerful engine in it. Gotta love it.

Maybe they are trying to use soft force to encourage regime change before a shot is fired?

They seem to be getting close to the point where a decision will have to be made. The Navy can cruies around all it likes, and that is not going to kill anyone. But as soon as the first bit of ordnance is ordered to be launched, the time for a decision has arrived.

lt had a bloody ford grill in some parts too, who would even bother making this AI shyt and why ? Not a bad looking car though actually that one whatever it is but it's not even remotely the eh holden.

Unlikely. The deranged orange one has crapped on its trade 'partners'. The stink will linger long after the crap is gone. Art of the deal? There might be big money changing hands in the background, but joe public won't see any of it.

Have they refused to carry out orders yet?

How can you respect the US military when it refused to carry out what most people would see as unlawful orders. I woinder if its commanders have spurs as well.

Ha! Ha! His appointed cronies on the Supreme Court have just declared his method for imposing tariffs was illegal, so they come off. Any tariffs in existence prior to those his method imposed will probably stay, but they were mainly down aroung 10%. Billions of dollars were paid to the US Government through his tariffs, but it appears that it would be impossible to refund money to those individuals who paid it. No doubt Big Busiess will have the records to recoup what it paid, but Joe Citizen remains screwed. One has to wonder if the insult of the exorbitant tariffs will be forgiven by those countries whose trade suffered from them.

So far, I guess it is simply the act of a deranged narcissist. Grandiose drum beating. I hope he finds a new way to get attention and this action is forgotten tomorrow.

Trump has had his wings clipped by the Supreme Court who ruled that his IEEPA tariffs are illegal. He’s not a happy camper.

Loved your cars and bikes eh Nev , good for you. Brother loves bikes he's got bike business. Mum had a Peugeot way back, jesus that thing was nice car , wouldn't know the yr think it was around and 85 or something. l dunno , people don't seem to read much here but have said , plenty to do and have also had hobbies all my life to. Only got back here 3mths ago though as said to haven't had a chance to scratch my arse l'm not even established here. Have gotten a shipload done though at least. Anyway decided l'm doing the cabin up then selling the place if possible. l've started that now should be ready in a few wks and we'll see how she goes.

They are good cars, too. Also expensive if you need to fix them.

Pray.. The issue for Chump is not Russia, nor Iran, both who are weakened, but what the other Islamic states in the region will do. I am not sure the Islamic alliances to the US in the region would survive well an attack by the US on an Islamic regme regardless of tribal differences. And Kuwait, Saudi, etc, are quite important to the US. The difference between Iraq is that Iran is turning on itself, not its neighbours. This is a sovereign issue as opposed to a regional conflict.
