When #Trump was shot in the ear last year, he said #God had saved him so he could make America great again. If this is so then God was having a very off day.

Hope this weeks visit to Australia by #Canada PM Mark Carney will bring us closer to them in planning future apart from USA. World of #Trump is not our world. Huge opportunity for @albomp.bsky.social to give lead is our search for independence.

Religions of world are fighting again just as they did in crusades a thousand years ago. Sad thing is Christians Jews Muslims all think #God is on their side. Rest of us think #religion is about loving one another. Priests Rabbis Mullahs don't seem to have caught up with that.

Seems that #Trump is now showing us his anger at not being awarded #Nobel Peace Prize. Well he has no hope now. Will never even make the short list. That will make him more angry.

While his armed forces attacked #Iran we find that #Trump attended a happy political fundraiser at his Florida home. He is quite simply a crude irresponsible occupant of the once revered role role of President of USA.

We must accept that #Trump has no idea how his war against #Iran will spread and how it will end if it ever can.

Nation which is greatest threat to humanity is #Russia not #Iran. Why has #Trump not hit #Putin.

Bombing of #Iran by #Israel and #USA takes world to the brink of chaos. Its difficult to work out how this will end. Odds are that it will not end well.

Bombing of Iran has begun. Both #USA and #Israel planes took part. Will this force change of govt. Its time the power of the mullahs ended.

YES.

Australian passport worthless. Discussed this on podcast OLD EVERALD AND YOUNG JAMES TALK POLITICS. Australian Wives of IS terrorists denied right to return. Their passports entitle them to do so & be arrested & charged on arrival for supporting terrorists. Otherwise their passport is a farce.

Four steps to generational equity Last week, I heard laid out a compelling case for Australia’s political leaders to look to the future. Emma Dawson, the executive director of the Chifley Research Centre, told an ABC Radio audience: “...

Good comment by Bill Kelty on the neglect of #young Australians re education, work, health, opportunity, #tax etc. Its time for all governments to treat them as a priority.

Green Party Defeats Labour in U.K. Special Election, in Blow to Starmer

Revolution in British #politics. Greens won by-election in Britain that #Farage Reform Party expected to win. Labour Party of #KeirStarmer came third & Conservatives lost their deposit. Great news.

Was sad to watch #HilaryClinton once more defend husband Bill at USA Congress hearings re #Epstein. Hope day soon dawns when #women are no longer expected by society to defend husbands because this is what she is suposed to do.

If polls are correct #Trump Republicans will get thrashed in mid term elections in November. But USA is no longer a #democracy & it is doubtful that Trump will allow elections to be held freely and fairly.

What a clueless public speaker #Trump is. Took one hour and 47 minutes to say nothing of importance. The worst State of the Union Address in history. Rantings of a demented person.

Security threat to @albomp.bsky.social reminds us that violence is growing as an element of our national life. Its fuelled by extremism in politics ideology religion racism sexism & greed. Influenced by #Trump & USA Republicans. Are we ready to leave that influence behind. Hope so.

Been doing regular walks this year to get ready for my charity walk of 11kms around Uluru on my 95th birthday on 5 October. Did 6kms easily today so should be okay by then. Plan to raise $100,000 for DorcasActs. We give direct grants to people in crisis situations.

#michellemillthorpe would be a great MP. Hoping she can prove your theory correct.

Australia backs booting Andrew from line of succession Moves are afoot to ensure a disgraced former prince never becomes king after the British royal's spectacular fall from grace.

Necessary step by @albomp.bsky.social. Now he should hold referendum to remove #Crown from #Constitution & give their powers to people of Australia to elect our Governor General by direct ballot.

Please join me in opposing plan for #Trump Tower on Gold Coast. His very name on one of our buildings will insult our national pride and our practice of #democracy.

Great news. #Norway has topped USA in medals tally at Winter Olympics. #Trump will be livid as Norway also opposes his takeover of #Greenland. Under his leadership America will never be great again.

JPMorgan Admits It Shut Trump’s Accounts After Jan. 6 Capitol Attack

USA Bank #JPMorgan states it did close #Trump bank accounts because of his role in 2021 attack on Congress. To win his case against bank he must prove he had no role in 2021. No way he can.

Admire #PopeLeo. This week he declined invitation from #Trump to attend 250th birthday celebrations of USA in July personally delivered by Vice President #JDVance. He will spend that day meeting refugees on Mediterranean Island. He is one of few world leaders who consistently opposes Trump.

Another hard hitting podcast of OLD EVERALD AND YOUNG JAMES TALK POLITICS. We hit #Trump hard for his disgraceful attack on his own nation's #SupremeCourt in which he violates the American Constitution.

The Supreme Court’s Declaration of Independence

Just tremendous. Some christian fundamentalist judges appointed by #Trump have voted against him in rejecting his #tariffs as being illegal. Am cheering loudly.

Where’s Fergie? Ex-duchess MIA after Andrew arrest Mystery surrounds the whereabouts of former Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson after the arrest of her ex-husband Andrew.

Charges against #Andrew do not include his years of exploitation of young #women. Hope action of British police encourages USA to extradite him re #Epstein.

Looks as though #Trump & his #BoardofPeace are bunch of greedy guys who have done nothing peaceful in their lives & want to make as much money as they can out of rebuilding #Gaza in way that its people do not want.

Wonderful to hear that #DavidAttenborough will celebrate 100th birthday in May. He is filming three television interviews to hit the screens then. Great patriot for #environment.

For an oldie like me it makes no sense to get out of #healthinsurance. But if I was starting work at age 16 I would open bank account and deposit equivalent of cost of insurance every year so it can accumulate enough to cover future #health costs. I reckon in my old age I would wind up in front.
