Trump's mantra is to prevent the Iranians from ever having nuclear weapons. He says they have been given opportunities to come to the table to negotiate but have failed to do so, therefore he is determined to raze their nuclear processing facilities to the ground.

Used to doing a bit of hitch hiking in my late teens. Family lived in Warragul and I was employed in the bank in Melbourne. In those days, banks opened on Saturday mornings, so I didn't knock of until the last train for the day had departed. Had to get home to get my washing done. I remember being picked up one day by a woman in her 50's/60's. She was prepared with a hammer on her knee.

Correct.

In his State of The Union speech, which went for about an hour and three quarters, numb nuts claims his tariffs could virtually replace the need for income tax. Other clangers in recent speeches, he claims the highest popularity ratings of any modern president, and confused Bermuda for the Bahamas

Came across this online the other day. Designed for seniors, disabled, obese or pregnant, they are designed to extend your reach, Although they look pretty much the same, there are a number of models at a range of prices, from $15 to $50. There are lengths from 15.7 in to 23 in. I fit in a couple of the above categories (no, not the last one) so I thought I'd give it a try. Ordered from Amazon, but there are a number of other health care retailers who have advertised them. Bum wiper.

Now they are calling for Charles to abdicate. William and Catherine to become king and queen. The article is behind aa paywall, so I don't know any more than that. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-15580417/charles-abdicate-william-kate-andrew-epstein-MAUREEN-CALLAHAN.html

Apparently his protection personnel and staff at his home had a four letter nickname for him - it rhymed with stunt.

Like most Asian names, the surname come first. His father was KIM JONG IL (capitalised because upper case i and lower case L look the same in this font, ie, Il ). Kim is his surname, Un is his given name. Just like Xi Jinping's surname is Xi.

I'm sure all you funny guys know that Un is part of his name, Kim Jong Un. The title was copy/pasted directly from the article.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's arrest photo was briefly displayed at the Louvre Museum in Paris by activists from the anti-billionaire group Everyone Hates Elon on Sunday, February 22, 2026. The framed photograph, taken by Reuters photographer Phil Noble, shows Mountbatten-Windsor slumped in the back seat of a Range Rover after being released from Norfolk police custody following an 11-hour detention on suspicion of misconduct in public office. The image was hung on a wall at the museum alongside the caption “He’s Sweating Now”, a reference to a controversial 2019 interview where Mountbatten-Windsor claimed he couldn’t sweat due to a Falklands War injury, contradicting allegations by Virginia Giuffre. The display lasted only 15 minutes before Louvre staff removed it. The stunt was part of a protest against Mountbatten-Windsor’s alleged links to Jeffrey Epstein, including emails suggesting he shared confidential government information while serving as a British trade envoy. The group stated their goal was to show “how the world will remember him” and called for “Justice for all Epstein survivors.”
