I asked AI how many times has the phrase, ‘Trump sparks outrage’ or similar variations of it, have appeared in the media. The answer can be summarized as so often, it’s impossible to count, so…’Countless times’. A US president, or anyone, shouldn’t spark outrage too often to be counted.

So, unless I’m mistaken. Trump is going to have his notoriously racist and xenophobic department of Homeland security examine every Afghan who fled to the USA, after supporting the USA in their failed efforts to democratise Afghanistan, and risked their lives, to flee the Taliban, for paperwork?

We’re having the house painted. Have gone a few shades lighter. We have a large west facing wall that gets full sun, from midday. On a hot day in the summer, the living area behind the west facing wall is/was like an oven. No longer, it’s transformed from very warm, to cool inside. Awesome!

The yanks love to crap on about how they ‘saved your ass’ to the Western Allies in WW2. The yanks made a contribution late in WW1. They also eventually made a meaningful contribution in WW2. But it’s fair to say, the US Military has fucked up, and failed in every single conflict since.

The greatest version of the greatest war protest song of all time.
Written by American singer-songwriter Pete Seeger in 1955. Inspired lyrically by the traditional Cossack folk song "Koloda-Duda",
The Kingston Trio though. Invariably brilliant, in their interpretation of anything they took on.

I like the fact that in New Zealand, there’s an Axe throwing bar. With actual axes. You drink alcohol, and throw axes at wooden targets across the room. Sweet Axe. What could possibly go wrong?

This is one of the coolest things on the internet. This Le Mans car, doing a lap of the Nurburgring. Nothing else on 2 wheels or 4, could do this quicker. Now, imagine doing this for hours, at night, in traffic, while it’s raining. Ferocious acceleration and braking. Extraordinary, incredible!

In other news. If you want to say thanks for stuff on Thanksgiving, but don’t have much to be thankful for. You can use the ‘thanks giving’ I wrote. It’s suitable for all occasions.

Trump is 100% a Russian asset. No question. What I want to know. Is he an unwitting, useful idiot, stupid enough to allow himself to be manipulated by Putin? Is he promoting Russian interests because they’ve got Kompromat on him? Or is he an agent, placed by Russia. It can only be one of these 3.

Trump to Ukrainians.
You’ve got a week to accept the Russian supplied surrender conditions or we’re not giving you any more guns.
Ukraine to Trump…
Quiet Piggy.

You know how utterly, absolutely, 100% fucked the USA is right now? I’d rather have George Fucking Bush and Dick Fucking Cheney in charge. That is fucking insane!

Why the fuck does anyone let the yanks anywhere near a peace agreement for Ukraine? Peace in Ukraine is the Russians fucking off back to their shit hole country. Let the Europeans help arm Ukraine now that Russia is fucked anyway. Tell the yanks to fuck right off.

It’s vital to remember the yanks wailing about Trump being president elected him by default. You fucking cunts created an environment where a monstrous piece of shit like Trump, could get elected, twice!! You fucking people have created this fucking shit hole country where this cunt is President.

The simple reality is. Ukraine and Europe have to combine to defeat Russia. The USA is a pariah state that can’t be trusted. The USA under the Russian agent installed as President, supports Russian interests. Russia has to be defeated on the battlefield in Ukraine, then in the USA.

I’m seeing lots of posts about leaf blowers, then I remembered it’s autumn in the Northern Hemisphere. Here in New Zealand, leaf blowers are available, but not really a thing. I also recalled that yanks call Autumn, ‘Fall’…

Random thought. What sort of person, in 2025, applies for a job with a big tobacco company. What sort of individual, wants to work for a company that manufactures and sells cancer, to addicts?

Mini history lesson. Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Kosovo, used to be called, Yugoslavia. Yugoslavia broke up coz Yugoslavians hated each other. In WW2, Yugoslavia had more dead than USA and UK combined. Mostly Yugoslavians killing each other.

Observation. I worked in the media industry in London through the 80’s and early 90’s. I worked with a lot of gay guys. Every single one of them had really bad breath….Anyone been near Trump after he’d spent time being subservient to Ray Cohn?

Is it just me, or does anyone else think Trumps mouth look like the repeatedly fucked sphincter of a bum sex fan?
