President Donald Trump is not wrong on everything

Charlie Munger wanted Donald Trump to be the last person to become US President: ‘Vainglory, puffery…’

 

“Well, I think he has qualities that make him unsuitable for the office,” he said.

Speaking about the qualities, Munger said, “Vainglory, puffery to a large extent. I could go on and on.”

He had reiterated his sentiments in 2016, just before Donald Trump became President for the first time.

My attitude is that anybody who makes money running a casino is not morally qualified,” he said.

 

  President Donald Trump is not wrong on everything. Just because he isn't like us, roll with it. And if there's a little danger, what the hell, you're not going to live forever anyway,” he had said at an annual meeting at the publishing company Daily Journal Corp in Los Angeles, which he used to chair.

Heard and McDonalds Islands

An external Australian territory, the Heard and McDonalds Islands, are located 4,100 km from Perth in Western Australia and 1,700 km from Antarctica.

The territory is considered one of the remotest locations on earth with “rare pristine island ecosystems,” according to  UNESCO World Heritage Convention, and it is populated by a number of species including flying birds, penguins, seals , and invertebrates.

To reach the islands, it takes a two-week boat voyage from Perth — meaning visits are rare.

 

Despite having no economic activity, Heard and McDonalds Islands were hit with 10% tariffs on Wednesday.

Dystopia.. A FELON in charge of the DOJ

dystopia (from  Ancient Greek  δυσ (dus)  'bad' and  τόπος (tópos)  'place'), also called a  cacotopia[2] or  anti-utopia, is a community or society that is extremely bad or frightening.[3][4] It is often treated as an  antonym of  utopia, a term that was coined by  Thomas More and figures as the title of  his best known work, published in 1516, which created a blueprint for an ideal society with minimal crime, violence, and poverty. The relationship between utopia and dystopia is in actuality, not one of simple opposition, as many dystopias claim to be utopias and  vice versa.

Human Trafficking | What is Human Trafficking?

 

Human trafficking has a long and troubling history in America, beginning with the transatlantic slave trade, which forcibly brought millions of Africans to the United States from the 16th to the 19th centuries. Before this dark chapter, America was inhabited by Indigenous peoples who lived in diverse societies with rich cultures and traditions. Their way of life was deeply connected to the land, and they thrived in various regions across the continent.

The arrival of European settlers in the 15th and 16th centuries marked a significant shift, as colonization led to the exploitation of both Indigenous peoples and enslaved Africans. This exploitation laid the groundwork for human trafficking practices that evolved over time.
