Trump can ground airlines even if he doesn't own them.
Trump Shuttle was an airline owned by Donald Trump from 1989 to 1992. It crashed and burned, metaphorically. The photo is one of its planes.

The cartoonist is definitely a leftist extremist. I mean, look at his past work!

Simplistic drawing representing Donald Trump, showing double chins and his ample figure, with a scrawled signature for his peris - but is only large enough for the first stroke of the letter M.

Ayr #Golf Club in Northern Queensland with rows of mango trees, trimmed to easy picking height, bordering the fairway.
Rows of manicured mango trees sit alongside a green at Ayr Golf Club. In fruiting season it must be tempting to snack.

Pepsi apparently decided to make a bad tasting version of Gatorade, add bubbles, and call it Pepsi Max Electric. 🤮 #No
A photo of a plastic soft drink bottle with some blue liquid that Pepsi decided people should consume. The bottle and its contents may have many ingredients in common.

The view from St Crispins Cafe in Port Douglas, with views across Mirage Country Club to the hills. #Golf #Queensland
The green of the 12th at Mirage Country Club backs onto a pond beyond which lies the nicest eggs Benedict around. St Crispins Cafe is an old wharf converted into a lovely patio setting.

This is what an El Salvador margarita looks like.

Poor El Salvador. Sad.

WTF? Windy.com suddenly showing Cyclone Alfred stalling off the coast until Saturday. Earth.nullschool showing the same. Multiple models showing it. Bug?

Where did they go wrong? Did they need a bigger font? Did they need to find the degrees sign on the label maker? Would bold type have helped?

18 is damned chilly in #Cairns. Should I obey the label?
A control panel on a temporary air conditioner in the hall in the hospital where I'm overnighting. Temperature set at 18 degrees Celsius right under a label reading "21dgC only do not drop temp" in red on a white background.

Looking down the 18th at #Cairns Golf Club today. The course is slowly drying out, but there still substantial puddles in some bunkers. #DJI #Mini
A drone photo from behind the 18th green at Cairns Golf Club showing standing water in greenside bunkers. A few days of sunshine should see the course back in top condition.

Palm Cove jetty, #Cairns, Queensland, Australia. #DJIMini
Drone photo taken over the creek at the northern end of Palm Cove looking over the end of the beach, the jetty, and out to Cape Grafton beyond. Clouds from an approaching storm front are entering from the left/west of screen. The water is fairly flat, and still coloured by the silt and tannins from recent rains.
