In in their next sensational revelation, scientists will reveal that rocks are hard, ice is old and water is wet.  

 

Most people do not pay attention to celebrities expressing their views in support of political causes, according to new polling.

 

While just over half of people think it is acceptable for celebrities to raise awareness about such causes, the vast majority say they are not interested in hearing more about these issues from famous people, according to a recent survey.

 

Little appetite for celebrities airing political views, polling suggests

If you want to see one of the most incredible examples of a world leader giving a press conference and just entirely losing his whole train of thought time after time after time, watch Trump's thing of around 15:00 local (DC) time. Going on and on about construction work and safety doors and a terrible governor and locks on those doors and distinguished veterans who are teachers and how other countries have problems and the walls and the LA fires (those of bullets) and the Olympics and how that construction work keeps the children safe and this and that is a hellhole.

 

Even JD Vance, of all people, was standing behind him with a non-stop frown on his face that just said everything ("the fuck is he going on about?!").

The Americans should have restored this anthem from 1992-1996 after the fall of the Taliban and left Afghanistan in 2001. Thanks to the USA being there too long, the Taliban rose up and return to power stronger.

Trump recently said in an interview that the next meeting with Putin might take place in Leningrad, a city that has been gone for over 30 yearsThis man it`s crazy...

2:20 to 2:30  It`s funny but for me, that old Russian anthem was much more beautiful than the post-USSR bastard that Putin later reinstated. The first decision of the new government after Putin's departure should be to reinstate the Russian anthem from 1991-2000. It's just a symbol, but symbols are also very important.

But that`s old Afghan anthem was most beautiful for me:

do you know that Afghanistan makes this superCar called Simurgh

Afghanistan was called "the Switzerland of Asia "in the 1960s and 1970s (a relatively peaceful and tolerant country, where women in Kabul could wear miniskirts, etc.). Everything changed when the USSR and the USA began to interfere there (the Taliban were formed thanks to USA funding in response to the Soviet invasion – they originated from the more radical Mukhachedin group). But of course, Afghanistan in the 1960s and 1970s was divided into Kabul – a progressive city – and provinces, where strict and conservative laws and principles prevailed. For sure without the attack by the USSR and later the USA, this country would certainly have had a better future, although its location was rather unfortunate: a meeting point of many interest groups and influences: the USSR, China, then the USA and previously the UK).
