US farmers regret voting for Trump Many farmers across the U.S.—a core part of the MAGA base—believed Trump’s 2024 campaign promised policies that would alleviate their economic pressures. But as 2025 unfolds, many say those promises have not materialized. Rising input costs, trade turmoil, labor shortages, and cuts to popular farm aid programs are leaving them frustrated.

Trump was rude and bombastic – but spoke one sobering truth Donald Trump has taken to the United Nations to show how pointless Britain’s courting of the US president with a state visit really was Speaking at the UN’s annual general assembly, he told world leaders that London is heading for sharia law and issued all-too-clippable rallying cries for far-right extremists in Europe. Sir Keir Starmer’s enlistment of King Charles III in a charm offensive with carriage rides around Windsor, state dinners and three days of non-stop flattery delivered nothing but anti-British ranting and un-British extremism. Mr Trump raged: “Look at London, where you have a terrible mayor, terrible, terrible mayor, and it’s been so changed, so changed. Now they want to go to sharia law, but you’re in a different country.

Legendary cricket umpire Dickie Bird has died at the age of 92. Born Harold Dennis Bird in Barnsley, Dickie played cricket for Yorkshire and Leicestershire but became a household name as an umpire.

In his remarkable career, he umpired 66 Tests and 69 One Day Internationals, including three World Cup Finals.

I was watching Sunrise this morning and their tech expert was telling about some unknown features of an iPhone, the later models I guess, that people may not know about. Things like using the phone as a document scanner. One feature allows you to take a photo of a plant, or a bird, and press an Info button which will display what flower or bird it is. How did I live without that feature? I'm not into using SMS shorthand, and don't often send long texts, but when I do, it helps to be able to dictate the message instead of pressing those tiny keys with my fat fingers. It's handy to have a convenient camera in your pocket which a photo op happens, like the one below. I wouldn't go around every day with my SLR digital hanging around my neck.

They've been talking up the pension increases from this week. Today is pension day, checked my bank account and pension was the same as the last few months. Must start ACCUMULATING from today, paid in 2 weeks.

iPhones are up to model 17. Mine is a model 6. Doesn't have all the goodies, but it does what I want. I use plug-in wired earphones and can hear better than the hearing aids I have. I don't have the $$$ to buy more recent models. My old model 6 is a hand-me-down from one of my sons. I use it for SMS texts and taking photos. I occasionally use the calculator, but no apps.

Just been to the Optus shop to try and sort out the mess with my daughter's email password. While waiting for service I had a quick look at the iPhone Air phone on display. All this hoohar about how thin it is, with a thumping great camera sticking out the back. What's the point?
