    Chinah would now like to cuddle up more trade wise with Australia and other new trading nations because of the Frankenstein tariffs put on them by the wannabe US genius. Didn't China 🇨🇳 put their own draconian tariffs on us recently when Morrison put his gumboot in his mouth. We found new...

    Fair enough Craig. Good memories though of our adventures. An old mate studied a BA and a lecturer once asked "Why is a mouse when it spins?" It was a weird question looking at language structures, I think? It went over my head, especially the answer: "The higher the fewer!" To me it was...

    For sure but word puzzles often tax me. I'd play scrabble well only from a numerical scoring perspective that annoyed my dear old mother in law. A deserving Matriarch I admired. For over a decade I was a volunteer companion for an old friend with brain damage and having coffees at a big local...

    It's a worry Zman, I concur with the above factors with just my basic knowledge of economics. More than the Wight Hosed Blufaloon.

    Hi Thomas, I've tried again to have an afternoon nap again, and good sleep at night. The naps refresh me too, reclining in my armchair, darkened room, soft music, purring cat too. An old local mate at 76 loves his reinvigorating naps too. I'm sure my body is smarter than me.

    Yes, I heard his hollow boasts. He likes to boast and like the majority of world leaders, I find his narsissitic character, chaotic manner, stupidity and lies destructive to the whole planet. And a felon, sexual abuser, fraudster, surrounded by dumb "Yes People" humming away in his personal echo...

    I'm getting dizzy watching Trump's roundabouts and U turns. Seems now there'll be no tariffs on Chinese made i-phones as the US has little ability to manufacture the phones and other IT equipment. Would anyone in the US pay $5,000 for an i-phone 16? 🤣 My new Motorola phone cost me $29 on a 2...

    My daughter had severe preecampsia (sp?) with ongoing high BPs which has knocked her along with her C section ... her baby girls a bit likewise. Life and death surround's me nowadays. Here's my new little grandaughters Adeline and Esme'.

    A Roast Chook from Coles in a roasting bag. Throw away the bag after the cooking of what's inside it, namely the hot Chook. Cut away the juicy roasted flesh to eat leaving the inside of that, namely the Chook's carcass to throw away. Simple. When you stop to look, you can always see me. But if...

    Half a dozen D9 bulldozers on the runway is my thought Craig. I agree tho not to flog off such security assets. I had a laugh I confess when that Darwin port got leased to the Chinese. Cunning and probing as usual while we were asleep at the wheel. That clip came off Palmer's usually silly blog...

    Hiya Craig, Busy with organising the Scattering of Ashes and an afterwards. Sorting the Ashes into individual bags at mine with his sister we made a blunder with a plume of the Ashes filling my dining room. We ended up inhaling some of my old mate. All good now, I hope. 🙄 Also, my youngest...

    I think that's a funny AI clipped together Spoof .🤣 Love it. Listening to several news views the consensus seems that Trump's brutal and reciprocal tariffs will hurt the US itself the most... King Kong vs Godzilla as China looms over horizons. Another Rocky Horror Show. 😖 I believe the Devil...

    A great read Craig. Cheers. Here's some jibes at some of the pictures in the article: 🤣 Some DJ Dance fellow wondering why Greenland is not called "Whiteland". Over there, look you sheep... Fascist hard right crap gaining global growth arm. Yes, yes, yes ? 666%. The self declared...

    No idea yet. Is this a dinkum food or a play on words? You know I prefer numbers to words. The Future? A tax bill? A mirror? He was walking around inside a building, like a big shopping centre. Or on a walking machine whilst watching Telly like I did. A Gym?

    Trump and his chorus are saying the rest of the World is raping and pillaging the US Economy. Yes, many of the US's imports are from foreign nations, but why is that? Well, many US industries outsourced their manufacturing to Nation's with cheaper Labour costs. It was to make lots of money 💰 for...

    Kram, I think the reason is Trump's utter stupidity re Economics and his narristic arrogance. All he had to do was to google "tariffs". Or "Inflation." 🤔 Heads much wisher than mine see Trump's unpredictable actions and flip/flop nature having severe economic global impacts. Even another global...

    That's an excellent point Thomas. Lots of US assets in Ukraine would help keep Putin in check. Fair enough but what a sad world we're becoming. Like a crowded population of Rats in a maze. Let Trump and Putin go face to face, and Trump's not happy with Putin now giving him a cold shoulder, like...

    Half! He's dreaming!!! Trump hovers over distressed nations to see what he can peck at like a Vulture. The way he treats once Allies is also reprehensible. Good on Europe standing up for Ukraine. The US is a liability.

    I didn't think about the affects on debt if a nation devalues its currency Thomas. Google concurred. Devaluing a currency can make a nation's debt more manageable, especially if it's denominated in the local currency, because the cost of servicing that debt becomes effectively cheaper in terms...
