Elon Musk is not happy with the backlash against him from the people in the US. Tesla profit has dropped 71%. Protests outside his Telsa showrooms too.

It's ironic neither Trump nor Musk didn't anticipate back lashes with them being such geniuses. 🤣

The Israeli government deleted a social media post giving condolences over the death of Pope Francis just hours after posting it.

Local media also reported that Israeli diplomatic missions worldwide were also instructed to delete similar posts and not to sign Vatican embassy condolence books.

I expect nothing less from this tyrannical administration.

I heard Pope Francis criticised Israel for the slaughter they're inflicting upon the Palestinian people of Gaza. That's why the Jews are being so petty about the passing of the great humanitarian Pope Francis.

I read this too. Yes he was a great humanitarian, unlike the Zionist regime running that country.
 
I heard today, Trump say he'd done ~200 trade tariff deals already, but no details provided. 😆 Typical usual boasting ....

Shirly Australua got a deal two, or too. ... 😅
He's unbelievable with his constant boasting. "It'll be so bountifullicious".
China refuted claims Trump had a "DEAL" with them.
Delusional and dangerous as always.
You reap what you sow. His word has been devalued to stagnation levels by his own doing. What genius?

Trump did love the noble painting of himself from his mate Puttin shaking his fist in defiance with blood steaming down his face after being shot in his ear. The Devil saved him imho.
Trump loved it ❤️, ... and even I agree that image will go down in history.
It was a masterful PR moment. His moment in the Sun.

He replaced Obama's painting with his katartik moment dun by Putin 4 him.

It's easy to stroke a narcissist's ego.🤣 I wonder if the painting has a bug in it?🪳

I saw the News item about Trump and Zelenski meeting before Pope Francis' funeral service having a knee to knee deep conversation.
Trump is getting fed up with Putin "tapping him along"....
Good! Nice to see Trump realising he's been played.🤭

Thinking a bit outside the box in hindsight, like with Zelensk perhaps, I think it's a good idea to let the US mine for rare Earth's in the Ukraine. Not only would it boost Ukraine's economy but a US presence there would deter further Russian incursions. I reckon European Nato members would welcome a US buffer zone in Eastern Ukraine. 😃 😂👍

With all this palava about rare earths and minerals for hi tech manufacturing, it turns out we have heaps of them in Australia, our dirt by sea. 😁
Don't tell Trump, it's a national secret. 🤫

Perhaps Nato nations and the UN might be coaxed by a grateful and respectful US to help maintain guardians of Ukraine's sovereign borders and US vested interests.? 🤔 😉🤣 To be surer than sure, Trump could build big US military bases in Eastern Ukaine. Another flexible line in the sand in Trump's merry go round. 🫣 Maybe the US military assets in Germany could move to the Ukraine's border with Russia? 🙃😜

Tomorrow will no doubt bring another big "DEAL" and new enemies and more sycophants no doubt prostrating themeselves on the alter of Trump's ego..
Ex Aussie PM Turnbull said something like how we shouldn't grovel to Trump. 👍 Other notables likewise like Rudd. Water off Donald's unruffled feathers?
I wonder if Donald ducker pondered being the next Pope? 😇 He should!
He could forgive all his own sins.

Seriously, what territory might Ukraine have to cede to Puttin for peace?
Crimea for sure at least I think.

It was nice to see a bipartisan finger to the US re our PBS, media rules and fees, and our highly important bio security rules. Our country, our rules ...🖕

Bullies raise our hackels in Oz, like Canada, China and most nations no doubt.😬 You don't need to be a genius to realise that ... 😂

I told you that. But need Labor to remove it or Twiggy Forrest as nuke minded Dutton wont. I think his nuke policy will sink them at the election as the average Australian family/farmer still does not trust nuke energy over renewable.
 
Do you guys have your sleep disturbed by having to piss middle of nite like me. I dont drink anything but water after dinner yet still am woken from my sleep at an ungodly hour to point 'percy' at the porcelain. Usually I manage to return to asleep but not always unless I take a tablet.
 
Nearly half of Americans are skeptical about the US president's priorities over his first 100 days in office, according to a new poll. He will mark 100 days since taking office on April 30, a period that has been overshadowed by uncertainty due to his administration's trade and immigration policies.
About half of those surveyed think Trump has been 'a poor or terrible president' so far in his second term, about 2 in 10 view his presidency as average, and 3 in 10 think it has been great or good, according to the poll.

Those are damning stats on his popularity.

I have, Craig. Sleep has had catastrophe written all over it. Honestly, I don't have a clue how long this is still gonna last. It's not only that I need to get up every night myself but I also to let Sari out which is at another time. It takes a long time until she returns which forces me to stay awake since we don't have a dog flap. More often than not I can't fall asleep again so that every night gets ruined which has been going on for more than a year now. I'm exhausted.

Agreed about the the negative spin offs Dutton's Nuclear Reactor plants proposals are having on his election chances.

Renewable is cheap and getting cheaper with not decades to get it on stream.
With Global warming's steady march we need "as soon as possible" green energy, 💚.

I remember now you told me about Oz's rare minerals Craig and followed it up in Web searches? Australia is a continent. It's big and we are girt by sea.
Or was that dirt by sea? .. joking ... Lots of our rich mineral resources need tapping into with downstream processing as well. 👍

With Trump World in full flight we could make one of those wonderful wonderful, never to be repeated Deals ! 🤐 10% off tariffs is May's big deal month. Nations will flock and beg to make their best deals.🤑 It'll be beautiful.🤮

Sorry to hear of your sleep issues Thomas. 😴
I just got a business card coincidently for installing pet doors.
It took several weeks to train both my old dog and my new cat to use it.
My old dog has the odd peeing accident,
I'm no expert but I reckon drinking beer makes me pee the most. 🍺

After 100 days in office Trump's personal ratings are the lowest for any President in the last 70 years.
70 percent is about what Musk's Tesla profits have dropped.
Seventy, deal or no deal? 🤪

Thomas there are few worse things than sleep deprivation. I am an expert on this subject. Mate there are twp ways to assist your return to sleep, a herbal supplement such as Melatonin (and others) or a herbal tea. But the surer way is to take one Alepam tablet, a mild sedative I use.. It is a generic derivative of Temazepam and cost less. I stand by them.

Shocked by US peace proposal, Ukrainians say they will not accept any formal surrender of Crimea​

Donald just said his first 100 days were the greatest of any past US President.
The stats of his drop of approval are more telling, it's dropped from 51% to 44%. That's the biggest drop of any Potus' first 100 days in the last seventy years! 🤪🤣👎
He doesn't let the facts get in the way of a self congratulatory Boast!
