This is how the US stock market reacted to Trump's press secretary confirming that on Feb 1 (US time), 25% tariffs will be applied to Mexico and Canada. Also, a 10% tariff on China. I'm unclear if that's 10% on top of existing China tariffs or the total effective tariff.

2.1 million people live in Gaza. That's about $24 worth of condoms for every man, woman and child in the territory. So that's ridiculous on its face. Then he claims Hamas made bombs from them.

At about $0.01 per condom, bulk deal, that's 5,000,000,000 condoms. Five billion condoms.

The worst thing we can do to them at the moment is to walk away and leave them with themselves.

The Bishop told Trump to have "mercy" on the people he was terrifying. Trump hated it. Plus, the lighting was terrible for them, and he and his crew looked old and evil.

She calmly put it right in his face. It was very Christian. She did good work.

It always amazes me that Health Department statistics are not as credible as Actuaries. We are a money driven society and actuaries have money on it. The data itself is only surprising for those who are not paying attention.

Dear Trump, once a crook always a crook according to the law. Your conviction stands and now to see if there will be sentencing. Probation, delayed sentencing... but no wiping of your criminal record.

Trump says "Drill baby drill!" but the USA is getting less out of its ground from traditional means than ever and the new "tight oil" or "shale oil", is the only production growth method. Easy oil is over. Trump's sabotage of renewables is just in time to make the future a true energy crisis.

New USA Oligarchy takes shape. So, the working class who voted for Trump voted for the rich and elite to rule them. They only drained the swamp to replace the alligators then they filled it again.

For a relatively small populaton country Australia does scientifically kick arse!

"Researchers at Monash University in Australia have developed ultra-fast-charging lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries that could power long-range electric vehicles and flying air taxis."
