Aging hippy, Mum and Nanny with parts of my heart in Nepal, India and the USA. I abhor racism and violence. I have found the meaning of life!

@JeremyClarkson Let's also hope that means the disabled can park closer. Plus have toilets they can use.

🚨 JUST IN: One of the American airmen who lost his life in the KC-135 crash in Iraq has been identified as Maj. Alex Klinner

Klinner leaves behind a wife, a 2-year-old, and 7 month old twins

Absolutely heartbreaking. Pray for the Klinner family 💔🙏🏻

Prince Harry totally owns Trump in a very simple statement and does not even mention him at all

Long ramble:
I have been mulling if I should comment on President Trump's inane comments about NATO involvement in Afghanistan. Although 35 years ago, during the US-led first Gulf War, I was lying, handcuffed & blindfolded - literally 'shoulder to shoulder' - with a US colleague on a concrete floor in an Iraqi interrogation bunker, I rather feel it should be the current generation who express any anger at the President's ludicrous, demonstrably false utterings. Which is why I earlier shared some posts from others.
But perhaps I will reflect like this - I watched Trump's press conference in the wake of the terrible tragedy when a US helicopter collided with a civilian airliner last January in disbelief. 64 people lost their lives but it seemed to be about him - his expertise, his knowledge, what he thought had happened. Much of what he said was incorrect.
So I realised back then that it was going to be pointless trying to analyse any upcoming word-salads. Everything is clearly about him; his expertise in every subject, his grasp of all situations. His need to say something, anything, to show he is the best, the cleverest, the smartest, the most knowledgeable kid on the block.
The pub-bore, the braggart, the know-it-all, pontificates on anything and everything in the hope of bolstering their own, clearly very low, self-esteem.
I wonder that, in the President's mind, that it doesn't matter if what he says is factually correct? I wonder if he knows, understands, even cares, what is true? He is saying some words, which in his mind, seems to suggest that he's important and people will admire him, laud him. The fact that everyone around him then applauds this character trait, thanking him for his 'leadership' at every turn, just amplifies his desire, his need to continue. He's got want he wants - in his mind - attention, praise, admiration.
So to sum up, trying to analyse Trump's ramblings is like trying to play chess with a pigeon. Somewhat interesting at first, but ultimately, truly pointless and rather frustrating.
To those he has hurt, insulted, vilified, I send you my deepest condolences for your loss, and gratitude for your service.

Most people entering the U.S. on Afghan passports are not Taliban, they are the same people who helped the U.S. for 20 years during the Afghan war and were brought here under America’s promise of resettlement.

But there’s a hard truth too: No matter how deep the vetting is, you can never predict when someone’s mind, behavior or ideology might change in the future.

So yes, in this situation, increasing scrutiny and temporarily pausing admissions makes sense.
Not to punish Afghans… but to protect the safety of Afghan allies already living here and the American public. Security and humanity are not enemies both have to walk together.

This man must be arrested. If he hasn’t already then if you see him I would strongly suggest a citizens arrest and an immediate handover to the police! This is where the power of the public comes into play! 🫡🇬🇧

My thoughts and prayers are with those suffering in Britain's 'heatwave horror'.

Concerning reports of jumpers removed, and a few poor souls are rumoured to be 'slightly thirsty' in the sun.

We're one melted ice cream away from a tier three lockdown.

Stay safe!

There will be British pensioners freezing in their own homes right now, whilst illegal migrants enjoy warm and comfortable hotel rooms - paid for by British taxpayers. It’s just unforgivably despicable.

I have never been more concerned about the state of our country.

Nigel Farage hits out at Britain’s decision to allow Ukraine to use Storm Shadow Missiles to attack Russia - says it’s just prolonging Kiev’s defeat

[Chris Williamson @DerbyChrisW]

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

Do you want the UK to be at war with Russia? That's where we are heading.

Yesterday, Sir @Keir_Starmer escalated NATO's proxy war in #Ukraine, and MPs voted to send £billions in additional support to Ukraine.

[Prof. Frank McDonough @FXMC1957]

21 November 1963. President John F Kennedy and his wife Jackie arrived in San Antonio to begin a 2-day tour of Texas. The visit would culminate on the following day, with a presidential motorcade through down town Dallas.

Let us make them famous. These two allegedly are the thugs that who set light to a £100,000 bus, which was completely destroyed.
