      Never really understood love, what it is, how it works or anything about it.
      Hatred is reserved for skimmed milk, vegan cheese and a variety of weird liqueurs.

        I often wonder how the world managed to cope without these never ending meetings of the elite in fancy places that take place these days.

        I wonder what massive world problems they will solve or not agree on this time round.

          Davos isn't about solving world problems. It's about formulating ways to keep wealth with the wealthy and making sure politicians etc are up to speed on what is required of them in this regard.

            Davos is all about the elites flexing their muscles - telling us minions that we are all that is bad for daring to heat our homes or drive our cars to get to work... whilst they jet around the world in private jets.

            If ever there was anything that shows the root of the problems in the world, it is meetings like Davos.

              Indeed!

              And there is now a summer equivalent, held in China, which is an additional worry.

                I am hearing a different agenda for the meeting at Davos, than otherwise above referred to. But that is just me getting things from other sources. Moving on.

                  Making another loaf today. Doing some quick math. the Bread flour I use is a Heritage wheat, local grown, local milled. The bag cost $9.22. For every loaf I need 2 tablespoons of olive oil, one teaspoon of salt, a tablespoon of sugar , one pack of yeast, 2 cups of water. Each bag of flour makes 6 loafs. And its ruffly 20 mins of hands on time, not counting rising, and baking. But I can do other things in the house etc. Ruffly $1.55 a loaf of good for you bread, no preservatives etc. Bread.jpg

                    I guess since CNN have said it was self defence then it doesn’t matter what the judiciary may say. There are 2 view points on this as we know, below is a police chiefs view that differs to FOX/CNNs.



                    I see coverage about ICE targeting immigration hearings, home depot car parks, landscape contractors and going door to door in decent neighbourhoods but very little about them piling in to the gang held neighbourhoods rounding up MS13 gang members like they claim to be doing. They seem to be focusing on the easy pickings.

                    secondly, the claims about increased assaults on ICE agents, well that depends on how you record/read statistics. If ICE activity has increased exponentially then so will the assaults etc, would be good to see if this is linear. If it's not linear then it might be worth looking at why/how it’s increased and maybe an indication that they need better training (I think its been cut from 16 weeks to 6 weeks) like how not to stand in front of a car or how to step away from a moving vehicle without shooting the occupant?

                      It’s a shame that Trump and his administration didn’t wait for a properly conducted investigation into the incident before announcing that the shooter had been run over and was recovering in hospital. He isn’t one to let the facts get in the way of a good headline.

                          His "in mitigation" claim of recent bereavement sounds very odd considering he's been accused of various forms of animal abuse over a number of years.

                            The Venezuelan opposition leader who won the Nobel Peace Prize last month has given it to Trump "in recognition of his commitment to democracy".

                            This is getting ridiculous. Not only does it degrade the award, it is a blatant example of those with power openly trading bribes to get more power/prestige. AFAIA, Nobel Prizes are not transferable.
