Although no one can really say when Puerto Rico will get its power grid working again, one thing is certain, the folks living on the island are growing desperate and needlessly suffering. http://www.bostonglobe.com/opinion/editorials/2017/09/23/don-let-puerto…

However, no mention of this during his weekly address and as Puerto Rico faces the worst natural disaster ever, T@POTUS rants about firing NFL players who protest http://thebea.st/2xZ7WLA

Hang on folks, the long and winding road is going to get more difficult before our nightmare ends. We have madmen across the waters and the insanity and saber rattling does not appear to end anytime soon. Meanwhile, things are getting really strange.

Global Extinction

Submitted by ub on

Massive extinctions have taken place for millions of years, so long ago that life had time to start again from zero, leaving behind creatures that were lost forever in the transformations suffered by a young, inexpert and changing.

We are the most efficient agent of a phenomenon which is as old as life itself: the extinction of species. But we are becoming so efficient in our role as destroyers that, as we begin to understand the interdependent mechanisms of life on earth, we are realizing that perhaps our own activities could end up leading our species along the road to extinction.

Where is Nambia?

Where in the world is Nambia? Someone should have told @POTUS that Namibia is located in SW Africa. The capital is Windhoek, with a coastal town named Swakopmund.

Perhaps he should visit Google, or read the encyclopedia instead of just wasting time on Twitter rants. We're just saying and suggesting.

Submitted by ub on

After sending Tweets about Rocketman and others, @POTUS has made his first statement as president at the United Nations and returns to the UN this morning for his first address to the 193-members of the world body's general assembly. However, the leaders of China and Russia are not expected there.

While tensions increase with North Korea, with a new terrorist attack in London and renewed efforts to bring peace to the Middle East, Trump will have plenty of topics to choose from for his speech, which is expected to be more than 140 long.
