A gibberish song was to prove a point by the Italian singer; not sung in any language he wanted to show what an American song sounds like to non english speaking folks. Additionaly any song that sounds American would be a hit. I really like it a lot. adriano celentano prisencolinensinainciusol original 19732019 version

Justin Trudeau is not the governor of Canada – he is Canada’s Prime Minister - plus Canada doesn't even have governors. I’m sure Trump knew that but he had to get a 51st state shot in.
After the game Trudeau took a shot at Trump. Moments after Canada's ice hockey team beat the USA in a close final he said "You can't take our country - and you can't take our game."
Cheers and happy weekend!

Just goes to show that you can be the wealthiest man in the world and still have no class. He's not right in the head.

I think it will be the same with the H5 bird flu (but it will be chickens). Trump also said a lot of ridiculous things about covid like – come summer it will disappear. So maybe he will say something equally ridiculous about H5 bird flu like – come thanksgiving it will disappear. Trump also had a lot of ridiculous cures and I am sure it will be the same this time.
A big difference this time is with covid there was infectious disease experts in the WH – now there aren't because Trump fired them (and or sued them).
I should add that H5 bird flu can jump from bird to human.
Cheers and happy weekend! less
I hate to say I told you so, but ...It took Hitler 53 days to dismantle the constitutional republic that was Weimar Germany. Trump hasn't been back in for 53 days yet.

This allowed DOGE to bypass traditional bureaucratic obstacles and immediately begin operations without requiring new legislation or congressional approval. The Origins: Obama’s 2014 Agency During the Obama administration in 2014, a lesser-known agency was created with a broad mandate to modernize government operations, streamline efficiencies, and reduce wasteful spending. The agency was originally positioned under the Executive Office of the President (EOP), meaning that it had direct ties to the White House but had minimal visibility or major operational impact. Key Features of the 2014 Agency: Already had a budget allocated from discretionary executive funds Came with regulatory authority over gov... less

So I think Musk wrote a flattering poem for Trump and put it in a musical Presidents Day card.
On the front it said – Roses are red and violets are blue but no one does the YMCA dance quite like you.
And when the card is opened it plays the YMCA song and has a photo of Trump dancing to the song - and images of all the Government agencies he destroyed and images of all the people’s life's he destroyed - bowing to him. Cheers! less

A tariff war means that ALL US industries that rely on these materials will pay more for them. The US cannot possibly resource them locally in sufficient quantities to meet demand, the infrastructure doesn't exist to produce them.Secondly, declaring a trade war on your greatest ally is a clear message to the rest of the world to NOT trust the USA.

It was a pretty impressive map so I bet it cost at least $200 to print up. You could buy 38 Cucumber Sandwiches with that kind of money – so shame on Trump for wasting tax dollars.

He was drafted by Philadelphia a few years ago despite having no American high school or college experience and has just become the first Australian to start, play and win a Super Bowl (the "Monstar" Jesse Williams was on injured reserve with Seattle in 2013, he didn't start. Neither was he a rugby player, and Williams did play American football in college, with the University of Alabama).Quite a few Australian rules footballers have had success as punters, but Mailata is the first rugby player to play as an offensive lineman and be successful at it. Will it be more common now? less

The people he plans on firing are the people that refused to meet with him at the WH during his first term. Trump claims there are a lot of Drag Queen shows that target youth at the center. There isn't – there was only 2 drag queen shows at the centers roof top restaurant and they weren't targeting youth.
Trump has used his 2nd term for revenge and his tariffs and deportation plan will do nothing but drive up the price of food and create food shortages in America. So I’m wondering what a cucumber sandwich will cost people while they watch the J6th choir preform - over and over and over again. Cheers! less

But maybe there is still hope because Trump has set up a Faith Office at the WH. He just signed an executive order appointing televangelist Paula White-Cain to lead the initiative. And maybe with their faith and their dance skills they will bring down food prices in America.
Cheers! Here's Paula!
