Have tried many of them and what works for me anywhere in the world is "Smart DNS Proxy".....once set up, it does its stuff automatically.

The assassination of JFK was mentioned on another thread, and I remember there was a doco/movie about this and it seemed to involve the mafia because of some unfulfilled promises the Kennedys had made to them – – but then I remembered another doco movie, which had a lot more substance and actual evidence to support it, so I watched it last night and was and am still intrigued by the findings. It is called "JFK Revisited – through the looking glass" and yet again the evidence uncovered quite amazed me and it is well worth looking at (again if necessary) because there's a lot to take in; and keep a keen eye on Allen Dulles, the head of the CIA at the time. I won't give the game away if you can't remember it, but as coverups go, IMO, this one was a doozy.

Obvious that this was a full scale attack on democracy itself, in trying to stop the will of the people and anyone who thinks this was "sightseeing" expedition needs their head testing. Faeces on the walls, items stolen, offices broken into, calls for Mike Pence to be hanged and a group of people looking for Nancy Pelosi. Such was the fear of the people under attack that they barricaded themselves in offices and rooms. These idiots being "ushered in" is a trump play on words to appease the Maga faithful – – get real man.

Ah yes.......more pics of the "ushering in" to bring a dose of reality to your day. These people should be locked away as they were trying to stop a democratic process, the will of the people, being enacted. A bunch of losers. Surely you are not one of these??

I just had to quote this above from my earlier post because I came across this pic on AN. It backs up my point that trump has no problem lying in the face of facts and evidence..............does this look like a "small number of people who were ushered in by police"?

How about these for a start: .. Trump had 10 businesses that completely failed, and went into bankruptcy, thereby depriving the American working man of the wages/money due to them for the work they had done. Hardly a case of looking after the everyday American! .. And as for looking after the everyday working American, Trump had his Maga hats and garish sneakers made in China. Traitor to the American worker. ..Trump falsely represented the January 6 attack on the US Capitol as a relatively small number of people who were ushered in by police Fact: The attack on the US Capitol was the deadliest assault on the seat of American power in over 200 years. ..Trump said we had the greatest economy in history. False. .. Trump: “The problem they have is they’re radical because they will take the life of a child in the eighth month, the ninth month, and even after birth, after birth.” Trump inaccurately referred to abortions after birth. Dumb as a bag of rocks. .. Trump on Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, who was detained in Russia: “He should have had him out a long time ago, but Putin’s probably asking for billions and billions of dollars because this guy pays it every time.” Trump is wrong to say that Biden pays any sort of fee “every time” to secure the release of hostages and wrongfully detained Americans. There’s also zero evidence that Putin is asking for any money in order to free him. .. Trump: “What he’s done to the Black population is horrible, including the fact that for 10 years he called them ‘super predators’. “We can’t forget that – super predators. And they’ve taken great offence at it.” The facts: This oft-repeated claim by Trump dating back to the 2020 campaign is untrue. It was Hillary Clinton, then the First Lady, who used the term “super predator” to advocate for the 1994 crime bill. .. Trump, referring to January 6, 2021, the day a mob of his supporters stormed the Capitol in an effort to stop the certification of Biden’s victory: “On January 6th we had the lowest taxes ever. The facts: Tax rates under Trump were higher. .. Trump, touting his environmental record, said that “during my four years, I had the best environmental numbers ever” and that he supports “immaculate” air and water. The facts: That’s far from the whole story. During his presidency, Trump rolled back some provisions of the Clean Water Act, eased regulations on coal, oil and gas companies and pulled the US out of the Paris climate accord. When wildfires struck California in 2020, Trump dismissed the scientific consensus that climate change had played a role. Trump also dismissed scientists’ warnings about climate change and routinely proposed deep cuts to the Environmental Protection Agency. Stupid man. It just goes to show that if you have gone down the rabbit hole with the Maga cult, then there is absolutely no clear thinking available to you and you see no wrong in this dumb lying muppet. So sad, but then you Maga nuts seem to revel in the lies and totally believe them.

And trump and the GOP are masters at that!!

Here is the truth about key points in the debate....and it shows trump as his usual lying self!! Joe Biden v Donald Trump debate: Some of the false claims made during Biden and Trump’s first debate…… President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump traded barbs and a variety of false and misleading information as they faced off in their first debate of the 2024 election. Trump falsely represented the January 6 attack on the US Capitol as a relatively small number of people who were ushered in by police and misrepresented the strength of the economy during his administration. See more in this report and it shows trump lying repeatedly……..but then it is in his nature!!

SO HERE IS A CHALLENGE to all of the posters who followed this debate more closely than I did and probably have better computer/internet skills than me..........It was mentioned here that trump told more than 20 lies and this was noted by a news outlet, and Biden told ??? lies. So come on you sleuths, what was the lie score per candidate?????

Now there is a point.....every time someone tells a lie a buzzer/hooter should sound. In which case trump's lies would be laid bare for all to see. After all he did participate in game shows, so he would be no stranger to this and it might show the American public what a liar and conman he is, if they didn't already know. But having said that the Republicans already DO KNOW what a liar he is........so it says everything about them!!

But, but. but trump isn't a Democrat!

It says everything about trump though as Biden beat him...........LOL

It is what he is doing to the USA and its people, not to mention its standing in the eyes of the world, with a compulsive liar and convicted felon as potential president....... "You have somebody who probably shouldn't be President, and somebody who can't be President." "What you saw was a candidate who is deeply vulnerable and a president who cannot take advantage of that. CNN chief national correspondent John King said there was a contrast between the two candidates - and Biden wasn't impressive. On the other hand, King said: "Donald Trump broke the fact machine more times than I could count tonight." Over 90 minutes, a raspy-voiced Biden struggled to deliver his lines and counter a sharp though deeply dishonest former President Donald Trump Trump, 78, appeared to coast through the debate with little trouble, even as he rattled off one falsehood after another without being effectively challenged. PS. For the record I believe Biden needs to be replaced, albeit a bit late in the piece, if the Democrats are to have a chance later this year. Not sure that Harris will be that popular.

Like your style as I cook similar and use the slow cooker for the Coq au vin,. Haven't cooked a paella in a while so will get on to that, and a bolognese sauce is easy with not too much meat, but with a few finely chopped carrots thrown in. Also make a Chinese Mabo Tofu dish with a little minced chicken or pork, with a smidgeon of sweet and sour sauce added.

Well TIT, so what do you expect.

As I stated in an earlier post of mine: "Some decisions to be made on my part and I will post my decisions here for the benefit of others". I stayed with Allianz Ayudhya because I have a 15 year policy history with them and my agent has been very good over the years, answering my questions/queries. Also as I have had an uninterrupted tenure (cover) with them, then as all of my pre-existing conditions were stated at my policy start, then any later health issues should also be included in my cover now.

Trawling through the "films" available on BBC iPlayer, I came across one which I couldn't remember seeing before, although something told me I had? Anyway I watched it and it was a movie about Brian Clough and dealt with just some aspects of his managerial career, and it was called "The Damned United" and it was very enjoyable. Because it was a truncated version of his time as a manager, it came across as quite "detrimental" to the man, being arrogant and rude, especially as far as Don Revie was concerned. For football fans of my age, it is well worth watching.

Agree........that the Election was stolen, for example, or that I didn't have sex with that porn star; and many other such lies!!

Can't say that they don't deserve it, what with Trump lying through his teeth at every available opportunity and even supporting the 10 Commandments being displayed in classrooms and extolling the virtues of such, when he has broken just about every one of them! Then there is this gem to his faithful goobers: – “Together, we stood up to the communists, Marxists and fascists to defend religious liberty like no other President has ever done,” Trump said. “And I have the wounds all over my body. … I take a lot of wounds, I can tell you, more than, I suspect, any President ever.” I'd like to coin a new term for the poor Trump believers; they have TDS, "trump delusory syndrome". PS. Just found another lie for his goobers to soak up....... In his rambling May 31 monologue following his felony convictions, Donald Trump somehow found time to reference the ill-fated Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline between Russia and Germany. Trump declared: “I ended the Russian pipeline. It was dead. He [Biden] comes in and approves it.” Trump went on to allege that Biden did so because money from the former mayor of Moscow’s wife was paid to the Biden family. Similarly, in a speech at CPAC last year, Trump noted that he “got along very well with Putin even though I’m the one that ended his pipeline. … I ended it. It was dead.” Trump added that “nobody ever heard of Nord Stream 2 until I came along.” In fact, Trump did not stop Nord Stream 2 — he enabled it. The Nord Stream 2 pipeline went from zero to 90 percent completed during Trump’s presidency. https://thehill.com/opinion/energy-environment/4726844-trumps-nord-stream-2-disaster/mlite

Some facts for you....and by the way the so called facts from "alexx" really don't stand scrutiny by any stretch of the imagination. As an example; building the wall!!!! But here are some facts that key US industry leaders had to say about trump............... Trump’s CEO Buddies Stunned by Bizarre Meeting With Him Donald Trump held a private meeting with major CEOs, promising to help them if he retakes the White House. Instead, he left them shocked by his incoherence. Trump met with at least 80 CEOs on Thursday to promise tax cuts and scaled-back business regulations if he’s elected president. Among those present were Apple CEO Tim Cook and the CEOs of JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, and Bank of America. Trump spoke for about an hour, during which he rambled nonsensically, throwing off those in the room, according to sources who shared details of the meeting with CNBC. “I spoke to a number of CEOs who I would say walked into the meeting being Trump supporter-ish, or thinking that they might be leaning that direction,” said CNBC’s Ross Sorkin. “[CEOs] said that he was remarkably meandering, could not keep a straight thought, was all over the map.” Former President Donald Trump failed to impress everyone in a room full of top CEOs this week, multiple attendees told CNBC. “Trump doesn’t know what he’s talking about,” said one CEO who was in the room. Several CEOs “said that [Trump] was remarkably meandering, could not keep a straight thought [and] was all over the map,” Andrew Ross Sorkin, co-host of CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” reported. “Trump doesn’t know what he’s talking about,” said one CEO who was in the room, according to a person who heard the executive speaking. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/06/14/ceos-at-trump-meeting-not-impressed.html#:~:text=%E2%80%9CTrump%20doesn't%20know%20what,%E2%80%9CSquawk%20Box%2C%E2%80%9D%20reported AND to top the lot…….Trump a day earlier posted an endorsement of the new law on his social media network, saying: “I LOVE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS, PRIVATE SCHOOLS, AND MANY OTHER PLACES, FOR THAT MATTER. READ IT – HOW CAN WE, AS A NATION, GO WRONG???”………This from a man who has broken just about every one of the Ten Commandments!! How dumb can his supporters be????? OR maybe its just that his US voters are as dumb as he is!

Accomplishments my a$$..... What happened to the wall he was going to build.....and make Mexico pay for? He said Nato was obsolete then changed his mind. The tax cuts helped him and his rich buddies and increased the US deficit by trillion of dollars!! https://www.cbpp.org/research/federal-tax/after-decades-of-costly-regressive-and-ineffective-tax-cuts-a-new-course-is Trump visited North Korea and was made to look a fool as he achieved nothing apart from giving its leader the credibility he craved. The man is a compulsive liar, rapist and convicted felon....something for you Maga nuts to be proud of.....yeah right Trump is standing up to China by getting his Maga hats and ridiculous sneakers made there! He is a sad-sack of a poor human being and as dumb as a bag of rocks and a loser, bigly.......grab some pu$$y anyone??

Mainland is made in New Zealand and has been for years. Since the formation of Mainland in Dunedin in New Zealand's Deep South in 1955, Mainland has won numerous awards over the years and is highly regarded for its production of fine cheddars and its premium quality product range.

That's the best laugh I've had in a long time.........how on earth do you think up such utter claptrap. trump couldn't even broker a watertight deal with Stormy Daniels!!! Whatever meds you are on......stop taking them asap!! Or lay off the Kool Aid.

Many thanks Sheryl, very much appreciated.
