Hasn't the poor woman suffered enough, then she has to find out she's the offspring of the world's biggest shit?

Land of the free ! Land of free speech ! Land of not-so-original dictatorship.

Netanyahu TOLD Trump to NOT Bomb IRAN for fear of retaliation On Israel. Nev

Here's a random thought. A hilarious thought. If USA takes over Greenland, will they re-own all the junk and pollutants that they left behind when they abandoned their under ice nuke missile base? It was home to 200 personnel for over 10 years. https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/08/05/488872411/melting-ice-in-greenland-could-expose-serious-pollutants-from-buried-army-base

I think this would be a good time to resurrect the American Anti-Imperialist League. M. Twain was a member; “And so I am an anti-imperialist. I am opposed to having the eagle put its talons on any other land.” I rather like a lot of Mr Twain's writings.

If you have a strong stomach and some time to listen to it, I have been following Sasha Riley’s story online. My wife told me about it. This man who has been a career soldier in the US Army had a childhood from hell. Things he talks about in the recordings with his lawyer tie in with what is written about in Virginia’s book( the epstien victim who lived in WA) others match up with records that can be verified, including a Medivac for one DJT. I don’t know how these rusted on supporters can still support this monster, and there is a bigger overall problem with the mega rich that also needs addressing.

"In 1942, Wehrmacht officer Albert Battel faced SS trucks heading to deport hundreds of Jews from a Polish ghetto. He blocked the bridge with armed soldiers and said simply: ""Not today."" What happened next changed everything. The summer heat pressed down on Przemyśl like a weight you couldn't shake off. German flags hung limp from every building. The Jewish quarter had been sealed behind barbed wire for months. And everyone knew what ""resettlement"" really meant. Albert Battel stood on the San River bridge that morning, watching the SS convoy approach. Truck after truck, engines growling, heading straight for the ghetto. He was forty-nine. A lawyer before the war. A Wehrmacht officer who followed orders and kept his head down. But something inside him snapped that day. When the lead truck reached the bridge, Battel raised his hand. His soldiers lowered the barrier. ""This bridge is closed,"" he told the SS commander. The man's face went red. ""On whose authority?"" ""Mine."" Battel had no authority to do this. None at all. He was blocking his own government from carrying out official orders. But he stood there anyway. And his soldiers stood with him. The SS officer screamed. Threatened. Demanded passage. Battel didn't budge. ""Any man who tries to cross will be arrested,"" he said quietly. Can you imagine that moment? The silence that must have fallen over that bridge? The SS convoy, engines still running, blocked by German soldiers pointing rifles at other German soldiers. The SS commander had no choice. He ordered his trucks to turn around. But Battel wasn't finished. He climbed into his own military truck and drove straight into the ghetto. Right into the heart of what everyone called the ""Jewish quarter."" Families were huddled in their homes, waiting. Knowing. Mothers held their children tighter. Old men sat by windows, watching the street. Battel started knocking on doors. ""Get in the truck,"" he told them. ""Now."" He loaded dozens of people into Wehrmacht vehicles. Grandparents who could barely walk. Mothers carrying babies. Children clutching toys they'd never see again. He drove them to the Wehrmacht barracks. Fed them. Posted guards to protect them. For hours, he moved Jewish families out of that ghetto under the cover of ""military necessity."" Every minute, he could have been shot for treason. Every decision could have been his last. But by nightfall, dozens of people who should have been on death trains were sleeping in German army beds instead. The news hit Berlin like a thunderbolt. Heinrich Himmler himself wrote Battel's name in his files. Called his actions ""inexcusable fraternization with Jews."" They blacklisted him from the Nazi Party. Started court-martial proceedings. Destroyed his career. Battel never apologized. Not once. When illness forced him out of active duty, he went home to his ruined life without a single word of regret. After the war, survivors started looking for him. The officer who saved us, they said. The German who said no. In 1963, Israel honored Albert Battel as one of the Righteous Among the Nations. The highest honor they give to non-Jews who risked everything to save Jewish lives. He never lived to see it. Battel died in 1952, forgotten in a Germany trying to rebuild itself. He never wrote a book about that day. Never gave interviews. Never sought praise. But what he did on that bridge proves something important. Courage isn't the absence of fear. It's looking at impossible odds and saying, ""I don't care."" It's one person deciding that orders don't matter more than human lives. It's standing up when everyone else is looking down. In a world that felt completely broken, Albert Battel showed that humanity could still win. Even when it wore the wrong uniform. Even when it stood completely alone. And sometimes, that's all it takes to change everything. One bridge. One officer. One word: No. "

Donald Trump has graciously accepted the Ashes from Pat Cummins.

Nah. None of that glory or talent. Just plain mad. In a mostly harmless way

I have no idea of US family, succession, nor immigration law, but my guess would be if she finds out she is in fact a product of his loins, she will want soem form of compensation for geneitically polluting her bloodlines. Maybe she would be recognised as her daughter, and a bona-fide claim on his estate as well as citizenship to the USA, without ICE. That would mean a) some dilution of hs corruptly acquired gains since office at least, and someone who could stare down ICE and tell them to eff off as she is the offsping of the president - just before they shoot her. Not only that, but aghast be those evangelical types at their lord and saviour violating yet another sacrosanct rule of theirs. But, hey, he sells them glittery bibles, so all will be forgiven. This post is as crazy as the world has become.

Dire Straits sang "...most of the taxis, and most of the whores, are only taking calls for cash..." I would have thought it'd be one of the businesses where both seller and buyer would prefer to transact in cash.

I think you will find the best paid CEO rarely pays much tax at all.

Nothing wrong with the word 'escort'. All types of working women deserve respect.

I once had a 15 year old escort. Needed a head job to be any good. Otherwise it was a good daily drive.

I worked in a bank for 40 years, They were always referred to as 'the escort'.

Yes. but you should have said SECURITY, Not Escort. .

Who mentioned sex? I was talking about armoured car services that refill the note hoppers in ATMs.

Will THAT get off the ground? Nev

Escorts cost less to service than More Complex Cars. I can't afford Taxis and Have Never paid for sex other than being married. Nev

I'd say "please DO."

I suppose it is good for the country that these CEOs get paid millions. Forty-five percent of that goes back to the government in personal tax. But I always wonder, 'what can you spend millions of dolalrs per year on?'

Apparently a wind farm is going to be created about 15 kms southwest of my place.

Trump against crushing protesters.... in Iran. Opposite to USA. Where they just shoot them.

Funny how your perceptions change as you get older. The year 2000 doesn't seem that long ago, and it comes as a bit of a shock when you realise it was quarter of a century ago. That's what happens when you are more than three quarters of a century old.

Looks like he might be declaring war on Minnesota. He's been looking for an excuse to use troops against the US population since his first term. The Pentagon has ordered about 1,500 active-duty soldiers to prepare for a possible deployment to Minnesota, defense officials told The Washington Post late Saturday, after President Donald Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act in response to unrest there.

Pointless sacrifice of a Valuable asset. He will spontaneously disassemble soon. His destruction of America is an Inside Job and the Tide will Turn (If you LIKE Mixed Metaphors). Nev

That's the old one. This is Peter the Rock & Roll.
