    Trump nominates pseudo-science promoter Dr. Oz

    This whole American transition thing seems old to us in the UK Within hours of the election count the previous prime minister hands in his resignation to the king who then invites the winner to form a government. The whole process of the change over takes minutes. Even the move into downing...

    Why So Much Trinity Bashing?

    There again bad logic, you can not prove a positive with a negative. Your other posts, to me, contained quotations and anecdotes mainly from the old testament and ancients that again a prove nothing, at most they give opinion. Which itself is not proof. The compiling of the Christian bible...

    Why So Much Trinity Bashing?

    That article uses what in any other field to be very poor logic. As it uses the bible to prove itself. The fact remains that the early Christians had neither the bible nor the concept of the trinity. Nor was the Trinity taught by jesus or any of the disciples. The Bible was not assembled from...

    Paid less for doing exactly the same work

    Statistics show that men earn more than women over a Lifetime, and by a considerable margin. Reasons are found to pay men more, even if is only justified by giving them a different job title for the same job. However women are appearing in more and more top job slots, than even ten years ago...

    Gabbard nominated as Director of National Intelligence

    They will make their own catastrophic mistakes as all politicians do. It is the common man who pays for and eventually nullify those mistakes. But the effects do not go away.

    $1,920,000,000,000 Debt Explosion Hits US As International Monetary Fund Issues Dire Warning on Nation's 'Loose Fiscal Policy'

    Neither a balanced budget nor a start on a debt reduction is likely to be achievable. As the interest on accumulated debt is such a high proportion of GDP. Unfortunately combined higher taxes and cuts to services will be insufficient. The differential is just too great. Nothing short of cuts in...

    Roseanne Barr, X and Freedom of Speech

    Are the words produced by AI protected by free speech laws. Is an AI computer a person who's rights to free speech is protected. Is it even protected by copyright. Who is the owner. The person who asks the question, or the owner of the machine. Is it plagiarism to use AI.

    I was wrong - and that makes me angry.

    I am an old (89) Brit, so I won't be around that much longer myself. But I love stirring up extremist like my daughter's sister in law's husband, who is a more than extreme right wing retired bank manager. He is so easy to play like a fish. As does my son in law who is a socialist leaning...

    I was wrong - and that makes me angry.

    Civil war is extremely unlikely. It is in no one's interest. If it does occur it will be damaging not only the USA internally, but even more so internationally. Not only would it lose its world leadership role, but also destroy the dollar. This would cause major world trade disruption. The USA...

    $1,920,000,000,000 Debt Explosion Hits US As International Monetary Fund Issues Dire Warning on Nation's 'Loose Fiscal Policy'

    That does not define a criminal. Some one who has served their time is not a criminal. However some one who has been found guilty and awaiting sentence certainly is. trump for instance.

    I was wrong - and that makes me angry.

    Why do you suppose there is a limit to people's ignorance and stupidity. Who won or lost has nothing to do with it. Ignorance and stupidity often back the winning side. It is an almost given. However Trump attracts them like flies to a turd.

    $1,920,000,000,000 Debt Explosion Hits US As International Monetary Fund Issues Dire Warning on Nation's 'Loose Fiscal Policy'

    Depends how they define criminals. If that means people in jail who have been convicted and are not citizens nor refugees then ok. However these things tend to end up quite differently, and may end up with any one who may look Chinese or olive skinned.

    $1,920,000,000,000 Debt Explosion Hits US As International Monetary Fund Issues Dire Warning on Nation's 'Loose Fiscal Policy'

    And what is it going to achieve. I suggest it is certain to end up as a massive loss to the economy. It is not as if these people are not needed or do not pay their way.

    $1,920,000,000,000 Debt Explosion Hits US As International Monetary Fund Issues Dire Warning on Nation's 'Loose Fiscal Policy'

    Were the dollar to lose its reserve currency status. And nations used other currencies to trade. Then the dollar would collapse. Countries have started to use other currencies to trade. They are also buying and repatriating their gold reserves from western banks. They are also selling their...

    Tesla Traps & Kills 4 People

    Doors should fail safe to unlocked. In the same way industrial processes fail to safe. For instance all paper cutting guillotines fail to blade up not down. Car doors could be the same in the case of power failure or accident. Someone must have made the choice not to do so, at the design stage...

    Trump Plan for Ideological Screening of Immigrants

    Racial discrimination has been legally unacceptable for years. However it has not changed many people's attitudes or actions.. Trumps anti Chinese outbursts seem totally OK in political circles. And he includes naturalised and US born citizens in that. At one time Chinese workers were second...

    Trump Plan for Ideological Screening of Immigrants

    Do you hate China? Would you buy a Chinese car? Or a Huawei phone? Have you any Chinese blood in the past four generations. That last was a good nazi Jewish question, What is your opinion of Chinese tools?

    Trump Plan for Ideological Screening of Immigrants

    How has their attitudes been recently? It seems quite a few Chinese graduates and post docs have returned to the mainland or Hong Kong to continue their research there. And that include leading researchers and departmental heads.

    Trump Plan for Ideological Screening of Immigrants

    From what I can see, in the last 40 years, their politics is entirely pragmatic and results based. They have already thoroughly researched counters to the vagaries of Trumps decision making, according to the South China Post. And are now in wait and see mode. One of the plans is to largely wait...

    Trump Plan for Ideological Screening of Immigrants

    Certainly apocalyptic in scope. But not in the least evangelical. America already has too much religion to be healthy. I am of the opinion America as we know it will not survive. What it becomes will depend on its own decisions. But neither of the parties is offering anything new or a way out...
