Trump's 18 year old grand daughter, Kai, just got a sponsor's invitation to play in an LPGA Golf Tournament in Florida. She shot nine bogeys and two double bogeys in her opening round to score 83, and finished in last place. Many weekend golfers could relate to the reason she gave for her high score: "I hit a lot of good shots, just to the wrong spots." Her golf cheating grandfather could learn a lesson or two from her honesty.

As I understand it GON, you weren't sent to Vietnam, weren't killed or injured or treated differently to other conscripts, yet you've relentlessly nursed this grudge for the last 53 years and continue to do so. That probably deserves a medal in itself, but surely it's time to let it go and move on?

Fact checkers say the desk in the photo is most likely a replica as a number of copies exist and this one appears to have some differences to the original. If so, it’s a fake, and therefore entirely appropriate for Mar-a-Lago.

Possession is nine tenths of the law and Trump is clearly a law-abiding citizen.

More of Trump's corrupt behaviour: Trump has granted pardons to his former lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani and a wide array of other people accused of trying to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, according to the Justice Department’s pardon attorney. The pardons only apply to federal crimes and are primarily symbolic. None of those named on the list are currently facing federal charges, and the pardons cannot shield them from continuing state-level prosecutions. The proclamation announcing the pardons said they had been issued as a corrective measure to address “a grave national injustice” that took place when the 2020 election went against Mr. Trump and Joseph R. Biden Jr. became the president. It represented, among other things, the latest effort by Mr. Trump to sustain the lie that the vote count had been rigged against him in 2020 and to rewrite the history of Jan. 6, which he has repeatedly referred to as “a day of love” despite the violence that erupted against scores of police officers protecting the Capitol.

They should have edited out 90% and even then it would have been too long. It’s almost inconceivable that this incoherent clown is the US president.

… and preferably not in the water.

Rudd had to sit there and take it and Albo had to deflect what could have an even worse situation for Australia's interests, but Rudd was right about Trump the first time.

I think most people in the western world would agree with you, but it’s certainly not universal. Cultural upbringing is a big factor in how humans treat other animals.

Not the best location to build a beach house these days:

Good news if it's true. His popularity has been declining since day one.

It's a good thing you don't write computer programs.

You wouldn't expect him to remember the dot points about Japanese etiquette even if he'd been briefed before he got off the plane.

Well, a `medium to very low chance of at least zero' rain, is a funny way to say no rain expected but I guess they are stuck with the heading format which works fine for when some rain is forecast.

This doesn't make much sense to me.

Trump already knows exactly what Kevin thinks of him, and the unfortunate reality is that both Kevin and Albo have to deal with him in looking after Australia’s interests.

Sometimes GON, I think you just like stirring the pot. Do you really believe what you just said? Trump is trashing everything around him and enriching himself in the process. He is the most corrupt person to ever become president, and there is nothing that he is doing that is making America great.

I can't fly in the rain.

Yes, no problem with that. I just prefer to know what the chance of rain is, not what it isn’t. Just makes more sense to me but it’s not a big issue. To paraphrase Groucho Marx, if you don’t like that complaint, I have others.

Apparently tomorrow we have a 100% chance of no rain. Seems like a strange way to describe it. So when we have a 100% chance of rain I assume it’s going to be expressed as 0% chance of no rain! Whar are they thinking? What’s wrong with the old ‘x% chance of rain tomorrow’. That makes a lot more sense to me.

Like you said earlier - use two-finger zoom to enlarge on the phone. Doesn't work on the computer. I agree the old maps have their restrictions and zooming is convenient. The terrain mapping on the old site is nicer than the bland and dull new one. Either way, we'll be stuck with the new system when they turn the old one off. Hopefully they will take notice of the things people don't like about the new site and improve it. ... if by full screen you mean the whole of Australia, go to `National' at the top of the old map.

You've just demonstrated what I mean - too much clicking and scrolling to get to that last view. On the old site, it opens where I want it. I don't need to see what's happening in Sydney as well.

Colleen McCollough?

Maybe it's just me, but I can't find any way to get the new map to open at the settings and scale I want by default either on the phone or on the computer.
