This applies to this post...... The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits. Quote attributed to Albert Einstein.

What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2025)
xylophone replied to Rimmer's topic in Entertainment
Decided to have a look at a few movies in which Tom Hardy starred, so the first one I watched was, "The Drop" which also starred James Gandolfini and Noomi Rapace and was slow-paced enjoyable movie which I had seen before but couldn't remember much about. I then moved on to "The Revenant" starring Hardy as well as Leonardo DiCaprio and I have to say that DiCaprio's acting was superb and I didn't realise that the first time round, but this time it became obvious with a more detailed viewing. This must rank as one of the best movies of recent decades. Watching it again, I picked up a few things I hadn't noticed previously, so am pleased for my rewatch! "Lawless" is next on my list, although it's worthwhile mentioning an extremely good movie starring Tom Hardy alone, which takes place almost exclusively whilst he is driving his car, called "Locke " and it would have to be an exceptional movie based on this alone. Worth a look if you haven't seen it. -
The COVID Scamdemic and its link to 'Scientism'
xylophone replied to Red Phoenix's topic in Covid/Vaccine
Unfortunately you are wasting your time with this poster and a few others who really don't have a clue. My son qualified as a doctor at the University of Reading (UK) and decided to specialise after qualifying, and did so, specialising in infectious diseases, which took him to South Africa and South America, studying HIV, before returning to the UK to settle down. He has had several papers published and peer-reviewed, so I understand where you are coming from, however as I've said here and I've said previously, there are some absolute idiots out there and I have got no idea where they harvest their stupid/inane ideas from. Luckily enough they are in the extreme minority and facts supported by science and thousands of universities, scientists, doctors and specialists as well as professors worldwide, just go to prove how stupid these people are. -

President Zelensky....Master of the Deal!
xylophone replied to xylophone's topic in Political Soapbox
But you obviously don't understand do you, because nothing has been proven regarding your accusation of Biden having a history of corruption in Ukraine, and secondly the war has not ended and trump has not negotiated anything with regards to the war ending, so your statement about US "ending the war and delivering peace" is a pure figment of a scrambled Maga imagination. The outcome so far suits Zelensky and Ukraine, whilst Putin can only look on whilst the US invests money in Ukraine, thereby helping the economy there. There you go......just to help you understand!! PS. And Biden has never been "my man" and I'm not a "leftie" as the Maga goobers like to say!!- 47 replies

So a deal has been struck between the US and Ukraine, and the deal involves minerals (rare earths) and oil in the main, and poor old trump has been outplayed. Initially trump wanted around $350 billion from Ukraine for the "support" that they had already given, but Zelensky wanted a deal which didn't involve payments of large sums, but did involve payment in kind via their vast resources of minerals; this especially after trump's disastrous tariffs on China ensured that they were going to cease rare earth exports to the US, therefore jeopardising many of the vital industries in the US. It's highly likely that Trump's cabal of wealthy industrialists urged him to strike this deal once they knew that the Chinese were not going to supply the rare earths any more, or at least jeopardise any future arrangements they had hoped for. So the US has opted for the very same terms which Zelensky took to the White House those few weeks ago before he was bullied by Trump and Vance, so it's a win for Zelensky and Ukraine. Not only that, it changes the whole scenario because once the US has a vested interest in Ukraine's mineral wealth and invests money to realise it, then any attacks by Russia could be seen as an act of aggression against the US therefore moving the conflict closer to trump versus Putin, with Zelensky watching from the sidelines – – what a master stroke. Very happy for Ukraine and its people and no matter what trump goobers may say, Zelensky has been playing chess whilst trump has been playing checkers, or even tiddlywinks!!! A big win for Ukraine and President Zelensky!

Florida man says "I run the country and the world"
xylophone replied to Jingthing's topic in Political Soapbox
I think he truly believes this in his tiny malfunctioning mind and the current "lawfare" he is waging against those who issued an arrest warrant aainst Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant, and of course for disagreeing with him, and this item spells it out clearly.... "Amal Clooney could be barred from entering the US by Donald Trump, according to reports. The British human rights barrister, who is married to actor George Clooney, could be sanctioned by the US President after a panel she sat on recommended an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on war crimes charges in Gaza. Lawyers involved in the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) decision to issue the warrant, including Baroness Kennedy of The Shaws and Lord Justice Adrian Fulford, have been warned by the British Foreign Office they could be barred from the US, the Financial Times reports. It is currently unclear whether Clooney has been cautioned, but she was a member of the panel that recommended prosecutor Karim Khan issue an arrest warrant for Netanyahu . In February, Trump used an executive order to sanction Khan (Karim Asad Ahmad Khan is a British lawyer who has served as Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court since 2021). Our banning him and his family from the country and seizing his US assets, and warned further measures could follow against “those responsible for the ICC’s transgressions”. He claimed the court had “engaged in illegitimate and baseless actions targeting America and our close ally Israel”. Vengeance is mine sayeth the ruler of the world. Muppet. -
LOL......"The great comeback". Some stats regarding trumps 'winning ways"........ US stock markets took a hit in the first 100 days of Trump’s second term. It is the biggest drop seen this early in any presidential term in the last two decades. This follows Trump’s attacks on the head of the independent Federal Reserve - which his aides have urged him to soften - and uneven rollout of tariffs, including in an area mainly inhabited by penguins. Trump has visited a golf club nearly every weekend Trump has spent nearly every weekend at a golf course, according to a review of his schedule, media reports and publicly available information. In 2011, Trump complained that Obama “plays golf to escape work while America goes down the drain”. Later, Trump wrote, “Can you believe that, with all of the problems and difficulties facing the US, President Obama spent the day playing golf.” In 2016, as Trump sought to make the leap from reality TV celebrity to commander in chief, he told supporters in Virginia he “may never see” his golf courses and properties again. “Because I’m going to be working for you, I’m not going to have time to go play golf.” Yeah right!!! And the gullible and "poorly educated" still fall for his lies. Never in all of my decades on this earth would I believe that so many Americans could be so foolish as to fall for the lies of this grifter, felon and multi-bankrupt, but since when has "common sense" been a strong point of the Yanks?

America has emerged....as an international laughingstock
xylophone replied to TheAppletons's topic in Political Soapbox
Not only is Trump in "ragged retreat" he doesn't look well at all, and the thinning hair doesn't help one bit, although he tries to hide the fact with comb-overs and gel. I wonder how long he will last? Then of course is the promise that he would stop the war in Ukraine in one day and look how that's gone, with Putin playing him like a puppet, despite Donny saying, "stop that Mr Putin" (very menacing – – yeah right). I quote below...... "Russian commentators highlighted that Trump is unlikely to bring the war in Ukraine to an end within his first 100 days in office, a timeline voiced in January by Trump’s envoy to Ukraine, retired Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg. “Putin’s truce on Victory Day means that no general, long-term truce will be declared in April. This means that the negotiations are far from over. Russia is defending its demands at the negotiations,” pro-Kremlin political analyst Sergei Markov said in a Telegram post. “And this means that Trump will not declare a truce in Ukraine on his 100th day in office.” Winning again??? -
I have Skype loaded on my PC (Windows 10) and use this medium to call my Bank and relatives in Australia using the microphone plugged into my PC. I don't really want to have to use my very old iPhone 5 SE to load up an App so what is a PC based alternative?? Thanks.
