 This video says it all about Trump. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQ81S494mFY

 The United States had an agreement with Iran that Iran would not develop nuclear weapons. This agreement was cancelled by the moron in the White House.  Now the moron has ordered the attack on Iran's nuclear facilities in a very dangerous move.  The world can have no belief in the President, his Secretary of State and especially his Secretary of Defense who is a complete idiot and out of his depth.  It is too much that the U.S. Government is so totally irrational and incompetent because they are capable in bringing the world to total destruction or total collapse economically. It is time for the adults to be in charge. The first cabinet member to fall is Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence - an oxymoron if I ever heard one. There will be more as Trump moves on. 

 Unfortunately The U.K. is no longer in the European Union and has been paying the price for that decision. The polls say that most people now regret Brexit but the Government makes little effort to rejoin. Leaving the E.U. suited Putin and his followers like right-wingers Nigel Farage and Donald Trump. Boris Johnson was the buffoon Prime Minister who did the damage along with the Conservative Party. These days the Conservative Party seems irrelevant and has been replaced by Farage's Reform Party in recent polls. The devil to the deep blue sea. 

What a mess the world is in!  Russia attacks Ukraine. Hamas attacked Israel and Israel reacts by committing genocide out of all proportion. The people elect an egit as President who knows nothing and works only for himself while breaking all sorts of laws. The tragedy is that the Republican Party supports him carte blanche which shows how morally and politically bankrupt they are.  The Democrats have just woken up after six months of silence with Californoa Govenor Gavin Newson standing up to Trump along with Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) of New York's 14th Congressional District taking in parts of the Bronx and Queens and Independent Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont. I favour Michelle Obama and AOC for the next Democratic ticket for the Presidential elections in 2028 but that may be unrealistic. Meanwhile in China Xi Jinping is being replaced as leader and we shall have to see where the new government lies - hopefully less extreme.

 I use a M2 MacBook Air 16GB RAM and 1TB of storage. I am running macOS 26 Tahoe Developer Beta and enjoying it. I like the new Liquid Glass look of it.  I have a M4 iPod Pro 13" running iPadOS 26 which is super. I have not upgraded my iPhone to the betas yet and neither have I for watchOS or tvOS. For the last 2 months I have got into a Network Attached Storage (NAS) and I am beginning to self host my movies, files and music to avoid paying fees to Apple. Whereas I enjoy the Apple ecosystem, I do not appereciate paying £200 for upgrades to RAM or Storage which is exorbitant pricing forcing users to buy storage from other suppliers. If you have any questions about Apple products, drop me a post in my blog.

 My favourite time,of year is now, with the Grass Court season in Tennis culminating in Wimbledon.  My predictions for this year's champions are Alcarez for the men as he is playing so well and Markéta Vondroušová for the women. I prefer Ladies Tennis and my favourite players are Naomi Osaka and Lena Rybakina.  I used to run a Supporters' Club for the greatest player ever: Stefanie Graf. What a great player she was. 

Can the world survive with a moron in the White House supporting a genocidal Prime Minister in Israel who wants wars so he can stay out of jail. If Putin supports Iran. then what? Some good news is that Xi Jinping is being replaced in China by more reasonable politicians as far as the West are concerned which could mean they will want to address this potential World War situation. Also they may be more inclined not to support Kim Jung-Un in his prison state.
