Yes indeed. Now I have the Twilight Zone music in my head for some reason.

Please do not mention music (for a while at least). My earworm has taken a break from the last episodes and perked up at your post. 😂

Canada coming to the rescue for some Americans:

'Thousands of people around the world have received Canadian citizenship certificates as a result of a change late last year to federal law.'

I was just contacted on a family tree site by my husband's distant cousin from California for help with proof she needs for this process.

I thought Brit passports were not really a thing till 1915 or so. As in needing to do passport control ?

My grandfather had a British passport issued in 1904. I have seen it. It was signed personally, as I believe they all were, by Sir Edward Grey, the Foreign Secretary at the time. Its purpose was what it says on the outside: to demonstrate to anyone foreign that he was under the protection of the British government and not to be messed with.

Was it Finland who trolled him last time about sweeping the forests ?

Yes, only it was raking not sweeping. He had used them in a speech as an example of people who didn't have forest fires and said it was because they raked their forests, which he would have known was asking for trouble had he known any Finns.

A village People singer died.

Your Challenge Donald, should you choose to accept it, is to make the death of Victor Willis all about you.

Wednesday, July 1, 202610:53 AMTruth Social

Village People singer Victor Willis is dead at 74. He was a great and happy guy who loved that I used his groups song, YMCA, at my Rallies. It became a "monster" hit, again, 30 years after its original launch. Many singers and groups wanted to get on board at the Rallies after all of the Rally Attendance Records were set - The crowds were, and are, enormous - But Victor and the group was there for us right from the beginning! They loved the action, and we loved them and their great and uplifting song. We will think of Victor every time YMCA is played, like today, and all throughout this July Fourth Birthday week. My condolences to his wonderful family and group, Victor Willis will be sorely missed, God Bless Him!!! President DONALD J. TRUMPH

Had to look this up - not surprisingly, he seems to have lied.
"Victor Willis asks Donald Trump to stop playing Village People music at rallies in resurfaced clip
Victor Wills, lead singer of theVillage People, once asked DT to stop playing his band's music during his rallies. In a resurfaced interview with BBC News World America, the “YMCA” singer said he liked that fans, no matter their political leanings, enjoyed the hit 1978 single and were still continuing to play it.
However, he stressed that neither he nor his group endorsed the US president. “We have even asked him to stop playing his music at his rallies.”
The singer, who was 75, died following a short illness on Monday (29 June).

Although he did decline to cancel their license to use it, so...

"As other artists began to oppose Trump’s use of their music in campaign rallies, Willis said he didn’t “have the heart” to prevent him from using “Y.M.C.A.” He said he told his wife, who is also the band’s manager, to inform BMI not to withdraw Trump’s licensing to use the song. In turn, Willis said, he made more money off it."

Village People singer defends Trump's use of 'Y.M.C.A.,' says song isn't a 'gay anthem'

Victor Willis said the disco classic has “benefited greatly” from the president-elect’s use and threatened to sue news outlets that refer to it as a “gay anthem.”

Trump claims he has spoken to Theodore Roosevelt Confused

An AI teddy.

Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the greatest President of all ?

That is my guess at what was said. But before we get to that. He flew in his new plane to get there.

So, this will be the first flight of what I think is maybe the greatest commercial plane ever built. I said to Boeing, what's the best one? They said this is the best plane ever built, and you're going to have the privilege of flying it. And I have a privilege also of flying it, but this is the first flight.

That's cool. He is in team 747. And I am sure plenty of aviation fans would agree with him. No wait-

And I went to Boeing; I said who has the best one. They said Qatar, there's never been a plane like it. Frankly, we couldn't build a plane like this because we wouldn't be willing to spend the kind of money necessary.

He says this specific plane is the best ever built. And that even Boeing who did actually build it, say they could not build a plane like that.

I need a wee break. Wander around in circles in Socrates mode, rubbing chin as I contemplate the logic of that. I wonder if AI teddy can help ? Has anyone done an AI Socrates yet ? Hmm, Need some brain lube for that, of the alcohol sort. Put that on the back burner for now. Go on Donald.

So, the head of Boeing said this is considered the best 747 they've ever built. And I went to Qatar; I said, I'd like to use it for a period of time because the other ones, as you know, are under construction, they'll be here in two years and because the plane is 35 years old. So, I said I'd like to use it. And the emir, Tamim, who's a great gentleman, he said, no, no, I'd like to make a contribution to the country.

Ahh. So this is one of those "things that never happened category" stories. But wait a moment. Now you say you went to them and asked for it, cos Boeing said it's the best ever made ? That's not what you said before. So Donald... cost ?

Well, it cost very little relative to what it would cost if we did it a different way.

On making money, he was asked by a reporter if he had benefitted financially from the Presidency.

Well, I made a lot of money before I became president, and they invest my money and I don't talk to them. I never I don't even speak to them. So, I have many people, I don't know what they call it, closed accounts or something. You put your money in and that's it. I don't talk to them; they're big institutions and they run it. But yeah, I've had a great career in business I've had a great career.

Brain the size of a planet.

This bit here from this press gaggle :

We could have 50 percent of the chip market by the time I leave office. You know what we had now? Nothing. And then I got as a gift, another gift I said to Intel, give the United States they needed something, they needed some help, the chip maker.

I said, give the United States of America -- I'll do it for you but give the United States of America 10 percent of your company. He said you have a deal. He said it so fast I said, I should have asked for more. But he said you have a deal, and that stake is now worth $80 billion. I made $80 billion for the country in eight months.

Given that near every thing that come out of his gob is a lie, some whoppers that usually go unreported are just in the stratosphere.

The US government BOUGHT stock in Intel last year. $8.9 billion. They bought 10%. And the money.... it came from BIDENS CHIP ACT. That thing that Biden done, that Trump slated, where Biden paid chip makers to set up in the US. Oh, that communist thing Biden done.

This was in the Guardian this morning too.
Actually, Trump had a few articles today.
Profitering, back to tariffs threats and trade deals, and issues on how much is costing UK ( in peoole, rather than pounds) due to the drug trade agreement we got, to appease Trump.
It is clear to me that we need to stop appeasing the bully and hit (yes, hit, not just speak) back. Otherwise, we are all just subsidising Trump and his cronies.
All that extra money we are paying in fuel..... going to or near his pocket.
He is right when he says everyone is profitering. Everyone on his sphere is definitively doing so. Us, not so much....
It does not look like there is an end on sight. It well end badly if politics do not start opposing this heavily, now.

Soon girls and women will have to carry proof that
a. they are female
b. they are not pregnant.

And even then they will be subject to 'spot checks'
