Hi shadowminister and Paul,

Happy New Year to you both. I'm still full got a
warm glow from last night's New Year's Eve celebrations
here in Melbourne. It was a quiet family affair for us
spent with family and the grandkids. We had Thai food
for dinner (delish), and watched the 9.30pm fireworks
with the kids from the rook of our apartment building.
It was a very clear evening - and the fireworks were
spectacular and seemed to go on for a long time.

We all loved it. Then at midnight - we watched and reeled
in the New Year - all very awesome. Melbourne did us
proud. Great night! And the views from our apartment were
awesome.

As far as Trump is concerned? I'm not at all sure how any of
this is going to pan out. I don't know what to predict.
I'm totally unsure in which direction the US is going to go.

Will the Democrats stick by Biden? Don't know. He's not
popular. His Deputy even less so. And I'm not aware of anyone
else being in the running. Trump? Is the man serious? Or
is he running to escape being prosecuted? Again - who knows?
He seems to be using the same old tactics that he used the
last time he ran - "Make America Great Again!" Will people
buy it? Who knows?

My husband tells me to watch - "Planet America," I probably
should to get a better jist of things. In any case - I find
it hard to predict anything as far as the US is concerned.
Hence my starting this discussion - to see what others think.

I don't know if Trump will again become US President.
- But I do think that being forced to have his tax returns aired requires fairness, and that ALL politicians in the US should have to share their own tax returns.

They deliberately add a photo that makes him look guilty.
- But we all know rich people find loopholes and pay little tax, and I'm sure all the others are playing by exactly the same rules.
It's how the rich screw the poor.

Many like Pelosi trade the stockmarket on classified information that only they are privvy to.

The world is crazy.

We have the most rabid anti smoking campaigns, claiming passive smoking is a killer causing cancer. Thousands of addicted people in trouble affording the huge taxes loaded onto tobacco.

Then in all this rubbish we pump the sky full of cancer causing carcinogens from the heavy metals generating the colours in those fireworks. 8 tons of it in Brisbane alone.

Our stupidity knows no bounds.

Interesting times ahead that's for sure.

Does she have a chance?
Foxy,
I said some time ago that she'll very likely be the next President !

Foxy,
Typo, I meant the first female President not the next .
