No, this is not about what Trump might have - done - since his business interests are looked after "by his children." And I haven't verified the accuracy. It is something I saw on another forum and may be totally incorrect. "....the family of the man at the center of it all, President Donald Trump, has indirectly been among the beneficiaries. Military contractor Powerus, about to be taken public by Eric and Donald Trump Jr., won an Air Force contract worth as much as $90 million to supply interceptors to shoot down Iranian drones. Similarly, the private equity firm 1789 Capital Management, which Don Jr. joined days after his father’s reelection, owns stakes in several other military contractors profiting from the war. One of them, Anduril, won U.S. approval for up to $2 billion in sales of drone interceptors to Kuwait. A second, Elon Musk’s SpaceX, is providing satellite service to guide U.S. drones against Iran. And a third — rocket maker Firehawk Defense — won Pentagon contracts for propellants and warheads to replenish dwindling U.S. supplies. A spokeswoman for 1789 Capital, Alexa Henning, said Don Jr. wasn’t involved in the decision to put money in those companies, so there is no “nefarious connection.".....

Looks like Kentucky hasn't discovered 'roadworthiness' yet. No mufflers, no mudguards, no roofs, no door handles, no windows, no seatbelts......... They seem to register anything that rolls. The Munstermobile would look very ordinary in that lineup!

Aaah, but you are thinking of cars as being a mode of transport, aren't you? If they were simply a machine designed to move humans from one point to another, they would not look the way they do.

Well, he did die racing. That proves the artist's depiction.

Unfortunately, Nev, what the rest of the world thinks, doesn't matter at all. Neither does what the people of his country think, either. Meantime, what he (and all those under him) DOES, is affecting a lot of people the world over. There is no win-win outcome. For every win, someone, somewhere, is losing. And that, my friend, IS 'The Art of The Deal'. P.S. yes, that is Capitalism as practiced in USofA.

This image isn't mine but it is taken from a better angle. Also, when a motorcyle is cornering, the rider holds the front wheel a bit away from the direction of the turn. That is counter intuitive, but the artist seems to have captured that.

In a lot of racing, the rider slides his knee almost along the ground and sits a bit on the low side. I think it's a accurate depiction of Ken Blake's cornering style.

I once had a 28 Studebaker. But back then raising a family was more important than playing cars. Last week a mate sent me this pic of one. On farcbook marketplace - complete & in running condition - too good to restore.

As a party in opposition, they are suspiciously quiet. It's not as if the current ruling mob aren't giving enough mud to sling. I'm starting to think the oligarcs are bribing the Democrats to STFU.

Is DC The Swamp of America?

In my prime.... Zero debt. Low body fat percentage. Fluid balance perfect. Nutrition excellent. Cholestorol low. Mental health balanced. Zero alcohol, excellent hydration. This was my peak. I was eight years old.

Unlike our politics , The function of a motorcycle is a simple action/reaction eqyation. An honest tangible benefitial response to every twist of the RH grip.

Even when I was on L plates, I believed that. And that was so 'last century'. And YES! As long as you come home to Australia.

And yet, the accuracy of the art captured the whole racing motorcycle and rider.

Jerry for Pres! Jerry for Pres! Oh, wait, don't we already have some Jerryatric's in government?
