  1. The arsehole has doubled down on his 25% tariff on steel and alumium. We should double our rental for the US military bases in Australia, that is if they pay any rental. The same with the Pine Gap tracking centre and others.
  2. Doesn't make it right.
  3. And the cost of Air Force 1 and Marine 1.
  4. At least it alerts you to something you may not have been aware of. You don't have to swallow their point of view, but it gives you an opportunity to check it out for yourself. If you don't know about it, you remain blissfully unaware.
  5. Whoopty doo. I'm going to be able to splurge soon. I saw on the news that from next week, the aged pension goes up. ---- $5.00 per fortnight. Lucky me. That means I'll be able to afford 1 Big Mac per month. Cost of living problems solved.

    The little kids runs into the loungeroom. "Grandpa, Grandpa, can you make a noise like a frog?" "No. Why do you ask?" "Grandma says, when you croak, we can go to Disneyland."
  7. A dhallenge too good to pass up. I got 10/10.
  8. No comment
  9. Nev, list the news sources I am allowed to look at so I don't make mistakes.
  10. I didn't take a copy of this, and some will dismiss it as hogwash. But I read an article where a young boy said he was murdered in a previous life. He led investigators to the spot where he was buried. They dug up the skeleton of a child, and the axe he said he had been killed with. He had a long birthmark matching what would have been where he was struck with the axe. There are other reports of people claiming experiences from as former life.
  11. Yeah, but the orange oaf is bound to make hay with it.
  12. Sorry. I was at the cardiologist for a post-procedure wound check. I have removed the deleted repeat posts. He ripped the dressing off, said all OK, another checkup in 3 months.

    A preacher went to the dentist for new dentures. The first Sunday after getting them he only preached for 8 minutes before stepping down from the pulpit. The following Sunday he preached for 10 minutes. On the third Sunday, he went on and on, preaching for more that 3 hours, till finally, some members of the congregation assisted him from the pulpit. After a brief rest, they asked him what happened. "The first week, my gums hurt so badly I could only speak for eight minutes. The next week they were a little better and I managed 10 minutes. This week I put my wife's dentures in and couldn't shut up."
  15. The Oversight Project has questioned who was making decisions during Joe Biden's presidency. A review of all documents reputedly sgned by Biden revealed that the signatures are identical. This points to the fact that they may have been signed by an autopen. The only document where the signature varied slightly is the one where he announced he was standing down from the presidential campaign. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14479333/biden-autopen-president-signature-report.html?ito=social-facebook

    Correct Jerry, the marked zero is replaced by the letter O. What about the swapping one?
  17. Here is something that is very random. I was flipping Foxtel channels the other night and came across a natural history program called Wild Australia. It covered lots of animals an plants native to Australia, Echidnas, wombats, Tassie devils etc. But it also showed a wildflower I had neve heard of, called a Hammer Orchid. This plant, found in the outback, has two arms. The pollen is stored on one arm, and the other arm has a lump which resembles a female wasp. The plant emits a pheremone which imitates a female wasp to attract males. When the male locks onto the decoy and wraps its legs around it, the 'arm" of the flower has an elbow which enables it to swing the was over and push it into the pollen, ensuring the wasp carries it of to fertilise other plants.
