RE: Melania...
I think he is going to college soon enough...and I am sure he is taken care of financially...at least that was what was talked about along with Melania's new pre-nup...I doubt if Trump has a close relationship in comparison to his mother though...or her parents...
Divorce can be upsetting for kids no matter what age...
Melania...
Agreed, I believe in her world, nothing is pressing.It's not like she will be evicted and have to setup in a 2 bedroom house near the bad side of town.
I'm not sure how long secret service will be available should Trump lose the 2024 election.
It's doubtful that would be an issue.

My mom died from cancer but she was in her 80's and had survived cancer 30 years before that...so she had a long life despite the initial cancer diagnosis...Another person I know of has breast cancer...and hopefully the treatment can extend her life for more than the 5 year mark...
Good for you to quit smoking...many people are adverse to cigarette smell when they quit...
Vaping has no smell as far as I am aware of...and if it helps people quit...why not...
RE: Melania...
True that Daphne. However I think Trump has reached a desperate state of affairs and is possibly dependent on her for the female votes .As for her son ,guess there would be a hell of a tug of war and who knows just what has been said behind the scenes.
RE: Melania...
I am not sure if people care about divorce per say but if Melania walks out...it kinda tells us she had enough of the his behaviour...she is only human...I can see her leaving in the future but I think she is probably thinking about her kid right now...
RE: Melania...
James Buchanan was the only single President and Reagan was the only one to get divorced but long before he became President.Trump has 2 divorces behind him.
Melania...
She actually has a form of separation and only comes out if/when needed.Possibly women voters would take heed (there is trouble) if she announced a divorce.
Kiss of death to an election?
He's got worse problems than a marriage right now.
I would have to research if any American presidents took office without a spouse.
Until death (or divorce) do us part...
RE: UK SMOKING BAN
Thanks guys for your kind remarks.
With regards to smoking I've lost 3 pals in the past couple of years to lung cancer one of whom was a smoker.I also have a friend dealing with lung cancer who never smoked.
My own Father died of this disease after giving up smoking about 20 years prior.I was a smoker until 2000 when I gave it up and with no regrets.I can't stand the smell of cigarettes now and hate vapes as well.
It is a habit difficult to control and as stated extremely expensive so anything that can be done to deter people is always welcome though half of Parliament has voted against the bill.
C.O.P.D's is another issue probably due to smoking.
RE: Melania...
Trump may think Melania is essential to win...essential as in get elected to get out of his current problems (not all) meaning to pardon himself...I doubt Melania's past is problematic for most but Trump should stop blabbing...
Lots of stories unconfirmed but I have to say he did it to himself with his verbosity...
People are more inclined to dig/seek out information on his personal/business affairs...imo...
RE: Melania...
It's all about the politics as usual chatillion. It would never present a good image for bible thumping Trump if she was to divorce him.Just imagine all that dirty laundry being made public. The press would have a field day.
UK SMOKING BAN
Nice looking dog. Sad you lost her. I thought your CS name was a comment about a German habit. But glad for the clarification.
RE: UK SMOKING BAN
Ya same here...it was a part of growing up...The taxes are quite high and not worth it now...vaping might be a good way to ween off of cigs...
RE: UK SMOKING BAN
My user name refers to my dog whom I lost 3 years ago . She was a German Spitz and I miss her so much. Here she is in the garden
UK SMOKING BAN
DaphneMany people vape in the UK. The cost of cigarettes is really high, through increased tax. I smoked as a teenager, but not heavy smoking and then went over to a more healthy lifestyle. TV adds continuously promoted cigs then, and socially many young people indulged especially at football matches, when you were obliged to offer and receive a cig. But, I don't regret the experience and it was all part of growing up and having fun.
RE: RELIGIOUS HAIR COVERING
Nor do some men who are looking for an excuse to behave badly and not serve prison time...
RE: UK SMOKING BAN
The amount of tax they put on cigarettes in some countries...better off quitting...I am going to try and ween myself from this habit...I think it will not be much of a problem for the younger generation as smoking is not seen as a trendy cool thing to do...not like when I grew up...
RELIGIOUS HAIR COVERING
I have control, but there are some who don't. Which brings us back to the reason for hair covering. The religious leaders don't believe men have control.UK SMOKING BAN
Sorry. Just corrected before to after.RE: UK SMOKING BAN
You need to get your facts right.
The legislation does not ban smoking outright, as anyone who can legally buy tobacco now will still be able to do so if the bill becomes law. It will make it illegal to sell tobacco products to anyone born after 1 January 2009. The plan was first reported by the Guardian, and announced by the prime minister in his speech to the Conservative party conference last year.

And hath made of one blood all nations of men (Acts 17:26).
Tensions were high one Saturday in April 2021 when Democrat representative Maxine Waters spoke in Brooklyn Center, the Minneapolis suburb where Daunte Wright, a 20-year-old black man, was shot and killed by police. Waters said, “We’ve got to stay on the street and we’ve got to get more active, we’ve got to get more confrontational. We’ve got to make sure that they know that we mean business.”
Waters, a highly confrontational figure, sometimes known as “Kerosene Maxine,” was notorious for telling her constituents to follow and hound Trump supporters and make life miserable for them: “Wherever you find them, at the gas station, in restaurants, go right on and harass them.”
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. had a different approach for the civil rights movement. Bishop Jim Lowe, senior pastor of the Guiding Light Church in Birmingham, Alabama, and distinguished fellow at the Alabama Policy Institute—where the emphasis is on free markets, limited government, and strong families—believes that the current-day civil rights movement, marked by violent protests, is very different from the civil rights movement of the 1960s under Dr. King’s leadership. Lowe pointed out that King, in his “Letter From Birmingham Jail,” believed that in any non-violent campaign there are four basic steps to be followed: collection of the facts to determine whether injustices exist, (2) negotiation, self-purification, and (4) direct action (Lowe’s comments can be found at southeastsun.com).
Unfortunately, says Lowe, these steps are lacking in many of today’s protests, many of which turn violent and lead to the destruction of property and businesses in the black community. “In some cases,” says Lowe, “injustice may seem apparent but in reality, it is non-existent. Thus, righteousness is not on the side of the protester.”
The second step that Dr. King followed was negotiation. King felt that was extremely important. Lowe points out, however, that today, negotiation does not get very far. Try to negotiate and you are shouted down. Reasonable and helpful discourse is impossible. “Disrespect,” says Lowe “is shown to those who are made in the image of God.”
The third step followed by Dr. King that is completely bypassed today is self-purification. This was a time of personal and intensive self-examination for the leader of the protest. The person needs to be honest with himself and check his motives, his manners, and see if confession to God needs to be made. Does this sound like something the BLM people would do today?
The fourth step recommended by Dr. King is direct action. If the previous three steps have been followed and there is no progress, a peaceful protest is necessary. Dr. King believed in justice and he did not believe in capitulation. He took direct action that was non-violent. Lowe believes that protests should hold a special place for Americans who realize that we have a Bill of Rights to protect the people from the government. Protests have been catalysts for progress for centuries and are essential to the American experiment.
Lowe believes that when legislation “with the potential to affect protesting comes up for debate …our representatives should be extremely careful. Any effort, even good intentions to prevent violence, that limits the right to protest or gives law enforcement undue power to restrain or jail citizens exercising their first amendment rights, should be carefully examined.” However, non-violent protests are unacceptable today in the modern civil rights movement. Why is that? Because the issue is never the issue. The revolution is.

RE: RELIGIOUS HAIR COVERING
You have control over yourself...so it should not be a problem...I doubt men want to be perceived as weak minded...
Criminals will use anything to prevent going to prison...like the case in the 80's in New York...it is a good example of how the court system failed a young woman...
A documentary was made about it...Robert Chambers the Preppy Murderer...Here it is if you want to view it...
RELIGIOUS HAIR COVERING
Yes, but women encourage men by swinging their hair as they walk and wearing clothes that are revealing, and making their eyes look bigger with huge eyelashes. Also it is quite common to see young ladies with skin coloured spray on tights walking round town. It's tough for men to be faced with this type of fashion.
RE: RELIGIOUS HAIR COVERING
It is not just the Muslim faith (fundamentalism) that requires women to be modest in appearance...so lets get that out in the open...Yes, why not let the women decide what they want to do...
If this practice has been going on for ages...far be it to me to tell them how to dress...it is what they are comfortable with...
When women can be free of this burden of being responsible for their appearance concerning men's conduct...then maybe women will not be concerned for their safety...but so far history suggests that many women have been blamed/shamed for the bad behaviour of men...
HOW TO INCREASE PASSION
When a woman goes to bed with her husband and spends time first watching a horror movie whilst putting her hair in rollers, then applying a face pack, it's no use getting into bed and asking him, " Where's the passion gone?"RE: BEYONCE'S COUNTRY ALBUM

If you like a country artist with a feisty song, I suggest Miranda Lambert and "Kerosene."
RELIGIOUS HAIR COVERING
Is it the case that religious middle Eastern men are not capable of looking at a woman's hair without swooning or being overcome with desire. If they can't resist the sight, then they are not practising their faith correctly, and should be punished themselves.Women should have their right to go to a salon and appear with a fashionable hair style, even to walk round in curlers if they wish.
RE: 400 years of history up in flames.
More interesting that it happened exactly five years after the devastating fire at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris!RE: 400 years of history up in flames.
Pretty sad,so many historical culturally important Buildings being destroyed in the last few years!Makes one wonder!
