ClintonB Posted September 23 Posted September 23 I just listened to a news broadcast where the president gave advice on vaccines for babies based on his feelings. There’s a good chance the thinking is poor people get sick and die off, so that solves some of their issues of not wanting poor people sponging off their billions. maybe they should look at compulsory chemical castration for MAGA supporters. That would be a better solution to Americas problem. 1

Popular Post old man emu Posted September 24 Author Popular Post Posted September 24 Trump addressed the General Assembly of the UN. I've only seen snippets of his speech, but the overall impression I got was that he was very successful in bolstering the impression held by the rest of the World's leaders that he is an absolute buffoon and has succeded in making the USA a laughing stock. 4 3

red750 Posted September 24 Posted September 24 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.

red750 Posted September 24 Posted September 24 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.

onetrack Posted September 24 Posted September 24 The U.S. farmers are in deep poo, thanks to Trumps tariffs, on-again, off-again "trade deals" that lead to massive uncertainty and dampening of steady trade - and the fact that China has decided to diversify its grain sources away from a major reliance on U.S. farmers. China usually purchases 12-13M tonnes of soybeans from U.S. farmers. To date, the Chinese have bought exactly nothing, by way of U.S. soybeans and other U.S. grains, this season. The beneficiaries are Brazil, Argentina, Canada, and Australia, as China turns to these nations to source its grain supplies. The Chinese have just purchased 10 cargoes (650,000 tonnes) of Argentinian soybeans, because the Argentinian Govt dropped its soybean export tax to assist with soybean export sales. There are reports that the Chinese purchase of Argentinian soybeans may end up 15 cargoes. A lot depends on just how much the Argentinians can spare by way of soybeans, they need to keep adequate domestic stocks. Brazil is next in line for big soybean sales to China. China has already purchased vastly increased amounts of all types of Brazilian grains. Australia is in the box seat to make increased grain sales to China, at the expense of the American farmers. At present, U.S. soybean prices are low, and heading lower. And the U.S. grain storage facilities are full, and the current soybean crop harvest is just starting! - so they're running out of storage AND sales options. Add in the fact that world grains are generally in good supply, and current crops are good, so the outlook is grim for U.S. croppers. To top it all off, Trump tariffs on steel and many other agricultural inputs have meant that prices for farm machinery and other farm inputs, have all gone up. Trump is going to have to find a vastly increased amount of farm subsidies in a U.S. budget that has little money to spare - unless Trump cuts far deeper on a wide range of Govt cuts, that will really start hurting very soon. https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/exclusive-chinese-buyers-book-least-040604740.html 1
