Back in about 2001 Micro$oft had around 18million Apple shares.
By 2003 they'd sold the lot.

Today those shares would be worth about 4 Billion dollars US.

Yupp, without Microsoft we wouldn't have Apple around.

The Director of National Intelligence... a full two weeks after Helsinki... is still publicly stating that he is not in a position to understand what happened there.


Read his job title again, then consider how that statement should fill one with confidence in the current US leadership. Trump is keeping his own DNI in the dark about what he discussed with Putin.

Miss 12, the one with Aspergers, just walked in in her new onsie and sparkly slippers (PJ day at school next week), tapped her heels together and said: "There's no place like Canada".

I have no idea why.

The president of the United states just spent two hours ranting on social media about a former employee being... and I'm going to quote directly...


* "Whacky"
* "Fired three times from the apprentice."
* "Vicious and not smart"
* "a lowlife"
* "nasty".


...apparently unable to process that he is describing someone he gave a White House job to and he's dismantling any claim he has to being competent to hire staff while acting like a tantrum throwing 12 year old girl on the internet in front of the whole planet.

At least he isn't going anywhere near the South Africa route. SA is becoming very racist and effectively re-introducing Apartheid but from the other direction with moves to make it perfectly legal to seize any white-owned farm and not need to pay compensation.
There's even a move to prevent anyone who kills a white farmer from being prosecuted.
Unless sanity breaks out, the Rainbow Nation is going to go down faster and harder than Zimbabwe did.
And once they've run all the whites out (or killed them), then they'll find out that they need new scapegoats. Can anyone say Tribalism?

Nelson Mandela must be spinning in his grave.

At a recent meeting with Trump a photo of these highly tattooed upstanding citizens when examined later showed Waffen SS insignia tattoos. Lie down with dogs get up with fleas.
