"Trump will FIX it" . Yes , so that HE profits, gains more Power, appears to always win and looks good.. It's all staged and FAKE. Expose it, and your life is at risk. Great. Nev

The Trump administration has just instructed the FBI not to investigate any incidents involving ICE anymore, saying that ICE will do that themselves. That’s not going to work out well. ICE is becoming Trump’s racist paramilitary wing like Hitler’s brownshirts.

All things considered, I find gravity somewhat attractive.. It creates an atmosphere all of it's own. Nev

What a dreadful Place the USA has become under Trump. More and more resembling of Hitler's Germany in the Mid to late 30's. Rubio wants to dismantle the International Criminal Court brick by brick.. That would take care of the COURTHOUSE, but the Court itself is PEOPLE. A Legally Constituted Body.. Trump respects NO Rules. HE makes them up as he goes. Nev

Glad I didn't say that. Us older folks are inclined to be Pee don'ts. Nev

Watch out! About 9:45am on 21/7/26 I received an email allegedly from Jery Attrick. The email contained a link. Normally forum mumbers send me emails through the forum's email system. I am suspicious of this one. Jerry, did you send it?

Anyone else feel this is a big issue? https://heatherdelaneyreese.substack.com/p/welcome-to-donald-trumps-surveillance?publication_id=5445372&post_id=205718531&isFreemail=true&r=tosdr&triedRedirect=true Excerpt: Today the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression filed a federal lawsuit in Washington, D.C., on behalf of a man named David Streever. He is a 45-year-old who lives in Rochester, New York. His wife, the Reverend Hilary Streever, is an Episcopal priest. On January 26, after watching federal agents shoot and kill two American citizens in Minneapolis and then watching this administration call those citizens terrorists, David Streever did what Americans have done since the founding of this country. He wrote a letter to the person in charge. He sent a three-paragraph email to then-acting ICE Director Todd Lyons. The subject line read “What’s next.” He called Lyons a “monstrous human being.” He compared him to a Nazi. He wrote that Lyons would be tormented by his own conscience. He sent it to the government email address. It was raw, it was angry, and it was protected speech under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. Five months passed. Nothing happened. And then, while David Streever was on vacation in Finland with his seven-year-old daughter, visiting a children’s theme park called Moomin World, his doorbell camera back home in Rochester picked up something unusual. Two federal agents in blue jackets were standing on his front porch, stepping past children’s toys to ring the bell. They were from Homeland Security Investigations, HSI, the unit built to investigate transnational organized crime, drug trafficking, human trafficking, cybercrime, and terrorism. The unit with access to cell phone location data, credit card transactions, surveillance cameras, and administrative subpoenas to every major tech company in the country. That is the unit they sent to David Streever’s house. For an email. His wife arrived home still wearing her clergy collar. One of the agents handed her a document. It was printed on official federal stationery from ICE and DHS. Across the top, in underlined capital letters, it read: “WARNING NOTICE.” Below that: “YOU MAY BE IN VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW.” It instructed Streever to “promptly remove and/or discontinue” his “behavior” and warned that the notice would be “taken into consideration” if he continued to be involved in “criminal activities.” His wife told the agents her husband was out of the country with their daughter and would be home Friday. But they did not wait. Just hours after Streever and his daughter landed at JFK International Airport, a third HSI agent tracked him to the airport hotel where they were staying for the night. The agent left a business card at the front desk. His wife had not told the agents which hotel he would be at. They found him anyway. “Like many Americans, I was deeply upset after the shootings in Minnesota and I felt compelled to do something,” Streever said in a statement. “Writing an email to the head of ICE seemed like the least I could do to express my sense of outrage. I never dreamed it would lead to a knock on my door by federal officers or descending on my hotel in the dark of night.” FIRE’s senior attorney, Adam Steinbaugh, put it plainly: “If someone is really threatening a government official, you don’t wait five months to act on it. The fact that authorities didn’t respond immediately shows that David presented no threat. This pursuit is designed to intimidate lawful speech, pure and simple.”

Wot! No Cadbury's? Don't forget a coule of Chiko Rolls.

Correct

Ben fighting gravity all my life. So far it's a nil all draw. But it's gaining on me.

Correct.

One two, three o'clock; four o'clock rock

Thanks Jerry, The ankle has made enormous progress in the last 24 hours. The mobilizing moon boot has really helped.

He's our resident cunning linguist.

Thank you, Prof. OME.

You were right the first time. Donut - u = Don't

an get Vegemite in the UK - actually has been there at least since I moved there 30 years ago.

No Vegemite?

Two wrongs don't make it right (or doesn't make it right)

Liked the painting bit - not the injury.. Can't split emoticons, unf. Hope its sorted quicker than expected.

Not sure if this is good, bad, or ugly, but preparing a pack to return to the motherland with: Just need cheezels

All living languages evolve. While an academic grammarian would insist on 'whom', a linguist would accept 'who' as an example of the evolution of a language. One could say that the grammarian is pedantic, while a linguist is a realist.

Ouch! Bloody gravity.
