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!

But you can’t put food on the table with pride – so Canada and Canadians are in the process of being less dependent on trading with the US. And in the long run I think that’s a good thing. Cheers!

In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote: “I will be signing an Executive Order next week ending the ridiculous Biden push for Paper Straws, which don’t work. BACK TO PLASTIC!”

But I don’t think they will be able to say that this time because he will likely start a few wars this time. And I imagine his supports will start saying things like – Trump was the only US president with cojones big enough to start 3 wars. Cheers and happy weekend!

EDIT: I am NOT referring to drivers remaining in the said driveway for more time than it takes to pull in and then reverse out, parking in the driveway, etc.________________________________
There are times when drivers need to turn their vehicles around when driving on a residential street, and the nearest or most convenient place to do so is the next driveway they see. It takes just few seconds to do, so it’s not as if they are parking there or even blocking it for an extended period of time.
However, some homeowners or renters of those properties get angry and/or defensive and/or confrontational when that happens. I guess they see it as some sort of infringement or encroachment or violation of space, I don’t know.
Personally, it means nothing to me if it happens at my home, I guess a partial reason I don’t mind is that I even do it myself when driving. (Caveat: if it’s an extremely large, extremely heavy vehicle, maybe. But a passenger vehicle? Come&nbs... less

Here is one of his latest blatant lies. “American banks are not allowed to do business in Canada. Can you believe that?"
American banks can and do – do business in Canada. And I bet Trump knows that but he tells the lie anyway as part of his Canada treats the US unfairly BS. Cheers!

The water is rushing into a dry lake bed in the Central Valley were it will be absolutely no use in fighting the LA fires. But it might bring up the property value around that formally dry lake bed.
The farmers in the basin own the water that was released and they depend on that water for their crops during the dry season – now it’s gone.
Also Trump should have had State approval before he released the water .

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Friday granted Elon Musk and his minions at the faux-agency DOGE full access to the Treasury’s massive federal payment system.
It’s not at all clear what he plans to do with this unprecedented access. But I figure because he is working for a very spiteful and greedy man it won’t be anything good. Cheers!

Shazam, almost immediately a plane hits a military chopper over DC, and a medijet goes down over Philadelphia. It's probably too soon to blame His Royal Orangeness for this, but deleting those people whose primary responsibility is air safety is NOT going to improve the situation.

Today is likely the day that Trump puts tariffs on America’s 3 biggest trading partners. I think Trump should just marry a tariff instead of making America and other countries part of a weird love triangle. Cheers and happy weekend!

Here are some common examples: * Scams and fraud: People fall victim to scams, losing money through deceptive schemes, identity theft, or fraudulent activities. * Poor investments: Investments can go down in value, leading to financial losses in the stock market, real estate, or other ventures. * Unexpected expenses: Emergencies like medical bills, car repairs, or job loss can create unforeseen costs, depleting savings or leading to debt. * Bad financial decisions: Overspending, excessive borrowing, or poor budgeting can lead to financial strain and losses. * Depreciation of assets: Some assets, like cars, lose value over time, resulting in a financial loss if sold later.It's important to be aware of these potential financial risks and take steps to protect yourself from losses. less

Greenlanders don't want to be American either, so if Trump wants to annex Greenland it will have to be invasion. Denmark is a foundation member of NATO, all members of which are sworn to defend each other against attack. This means that if the United States invades Greenland, the US military is under oath to fight against ... itself.
