Reading Trump's Truth Social post (trashing Mamdani) I am puzzled by the part that reads "...as a Communist, this once great city has ZERO chance of success..." That is taking personification to extremes! (And yes. I am a compulsive grammarian.)

Just curious. I may not be a mathematician but it is hard to grasp how Trump is going to lower the price of some medications by several hundred %. Does that mean people can buy them and get some free cash as well?

Why does JD Vance always look so disapproving?! He seems incapable of smiling. That is, when he deigns to appear at all.

Why is Trump often interviewed on board his aircraft? He looks as though he needs the door frame to prop himself up, and the sound quality is dreadful. Thank goodness for subtitles!

A favourite wardrobe item in Aotearoa New Zealand is the jandal, also called a thong. It is designed for casual footwear on the beach or in other informal settings. The jandal consists of a rubber or synthetic sole and a thin upper thong that fits between the toes.

Did I really just hear that on CNN? Gershon Baskin saying that Trump is the ONLY person who can bring about a resolution in the Gaza conflict, something that will ensure he gets his Nobel Prize?

Conversation between me (Aotearoa New Zealand) and my New York cousin.
Me: Dreadful headline. A child has been murdered in the next street here.
Cousin: Time to worry when news like that no longer makes the front page.

It was fascinating to watch the body language of Mike Johnson as he and Trump were promoting the Big Ugly Bill. Johnson alternated between gazing adoringly at his Idol and nodding his head seriously as he listened attentively to the Idol's utterances.

Listening to Trump and just wondering... If he is transphobic and objects to the use of chosen pronouns, why does he then refer to "WE" rather than "I" when talking about something he has done/will do? Either this is the royal WE from a wannabe king or there is something he is not telling us!

“I’m the Canadian who was detained by ICE for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped.
I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky” 3/19/25 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Listening to Tiffany Smiley on CNN explain that Joe Biden does not need security clearance because of his age. The implication being that Trump is a youngster?

In a civilised debate, the ultimate put down is to point at the opposition to drive home a point. Vance did this constantly while berating Zelenskyy. Trump did it too. And they call Zelenskyy disrespectful!
