SkyNews::

"China cancels Australian wheat exports."

Good move by China. Why buy it when they can just invade and take it?

Yes.
And Australia would be stoopid to be treated as a sucker in the meantime.
Best to reject everything China.
Disconnect the phone.
Take back the port of Darwin.
Crank up the deportation "bus".
Turn back ships with imports from China.
Stop all foreign aid, and live as a commune.

What I learnt from YouTube today.

US President James A Garfield was ambidextrous.

He could write in Greek with one hand while simultaneously writing in Latin with the other.

That is the most useful thing you  have learned from YouTube by all appearances. Or at least the least harmful. Or both.

I learned that from Gore Vidal's 1876.

What do you mean by that?

As a subscriber I can share five articles per month with a free link.  It is a way to send it to some educators I know, or anyone who follows the topic of cellphone/social media use and it's psychological effects on teens and youth.  Is that a problem for you?

Cellphone use?
Not in the slightest. And it is doing wonders for my grandkids and their classmates.

Maybe he has a point. After all, he grew up without a cellphone and became an ignorant troll and a pathological liar. How much worse could it be?

Cell phones may also help them reject the horrible poisons their grandfather tries to pour in their ears.

Bambu, China is on our team now, we need to be allies with China, certainly they will buy more imports from Australia.

And keep doing trade with California and with the USA, and with Mexico, and with Colombia, etc.

My Italian professor from Fullerton community college just retired, he was surprised at how fast his home here in Rancho Santa Margarita sold, and now he is going to visit his son for some quality time before he takes a vacation to Hawaii, and then he is going to go buy a modest home in Italy and live out the rest of his days in Italy. He is all on his own, just him and his son, his son is in Medical School now, and he is going to go start a new life in Italy on his own. I learned a lot from him, and I wish him a good life in Italy.

I am grateful for my home in California, and I would love to make movies and television shows at Universal Studios, and find a wife here who wants to produce movies and television shows with me, but I would love to go open a night club on Via Urbana in Rome someday, and a vineyard and winery in Tuscany would be a dream come true if I was wealthy.

Of note Bambu, the inflation on food in Lebanon is very high, Australia can send wheat to Lebanon and I am sure that the Lebanese will be grateful. Lebanon needs wheat, and fish, and fruits and vegetables, etc.  It is all about supply and demand, look for the people who will be grateful to have wheat from Australia. And I am sure China will buy your wheat, I think that there was a miscommunication. Also, UNICEF will buy wheat from Australia to feed to the refugees, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

Bambu, Australians need to look for the places such as Lebanon which need food, and also Australians can sell food to the crowded cities such as in Singapore, and Hong Kong, and Taiwan, etc. Taiwan is a good ally, it would be great if Australia could send the good Prime Beef to Taiwan, and if Australia could send lots of good food to Taiwan, and wine, and beer, etc.

Here in the United States we have poor areas in our inner cities where it is hard to get fresh fruits and vegetables and healthy foods, it would be good if people would go into the poorest areas and open stores selling healthy foods.

Of note, we have Fresh Winter Vegetables growing in Arizona, Nevada, and Southern California, which can provide Fresh Winter Spinach for New York City, Chicago, Detroit, Cincinnati, Saint Louis, etc.

We have the world wide web, and we can learn about who needs the food, and then we can send the food to the people who need the food.

Also, we can hook the Farmers up directly with the Food Banks and Kitchens to feed the homeless, etc.

And we have Hunters for the Hungry which provides meat for the poor, etc.

There are lots of people who would love to buy the wheat from Australia, along with the Beef, and the Wine, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

The Chamber of Commerce of Battle Mountain, Nevada, has been busy promoting the area, and the Colt Casino and Restaurant and Hotel is lowering their prices to fight inflation, all of the prices at the Colt will be lowered.

And right now there is a huge demand for housing, and Developers can make a lot of money. My friend Lisa from the Philippines, she started with a night club named "Manila Gardens" in Los Angeles and then she started her own real estate company and construction company and she became a developer, and she made a fortune while she helped by doing charity work for the homeless the whole time.

Right now Christians could put together teams with a real estate company and a construction company and a developer all working together to create villages for the homeless, such as the Kiwanis Village in Victoria, Canada. The Kiwanis Village in Victoria, Canada, can be a role model for other villages for the refugees. And they can build a Village for the refugees in Battle Mountain, Nevada.

Also, cheap Santorini, Greece, style condominiums can be built in Battle Mountain, with tennis courts and swimming pools, etc.

Battle Mountain is a great spot for a village for the refugees. And there is a college in Elko, Nevada, for the people who want to study, and they have nice student housing available.

Salute,

Tony V.
