Mythical Troy is now part of Turkey right?
See? The Muslims have already taken Troy. Wait... Weren't the Arabs the Trojans then? Trojans flee the Greeks and found what came to be Rome. Rome built the Western world (Christian Rome that is)... So the Arabs built the Western world?
Really?Now that I'm a twitter follower of Trump:

I will be interviewed by @oreillyfactor at 4:00 P.M. (prior to the #SuperBowl Pre-game Show) on Fox Network. Enjoy!

Good analysis by Ian Verrender, problems in industry relevant to all parts of the globe.
What happens if Donald Trump's America starts producing everything at home?

The last "Gilded Age" was in the last quarter of the 19th century, when the army was small and industrial capitalism and expansion high. Skilled migration and know how from Europe stoked the growth.
Two very profitable world wars gave the USA a great booty, probably peaking in the 1950's and it's been a gradual decay ever since as profiteering on large scale has dried up.
Trump's idea that there was once a land of milk and honey might be a bit naive. Some of my, now very aged, US friends reminded me over the years of their not so easy childhood lives of the 40's and 50's when many roads were dirt and they had to scab coal from railway tracks to heat the home...... and a few of them had cart and donkey !!!! Not much like the McCarthyism movies it seems.
The Chinese says: Rare it is for great fortune to last three generations.
It seems that Trump and his cabinet all think that America is great because it just is.
Yeah every culture their own version, the most famous being the Lancashire proverb = “There’s nobbut three generations atween a clog and clog.”
The USA use the "shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves" three generations rule which Andrew Carnegie was supposed to have coined after arriving from Scotland.
I'm sure the Chinese coined that first though, long before Europeans and the Scots move out of their caves to fight the Romans.
ha ha
The real question that needs to be asked is:
How long till trump quits?
The guy is a media whor.e. And all the negative attention he is receiving must be cutting into family business profits.
How long is he going to stay and be hated if his policies keep getting blocked.
I don't reckon he will last it out.
Impeached????...What for?It will be a race between him quitting or being impeached.
Impeached????...What for?
Conflict of interest in his business dealings.

In less than a fortnight, Mr Trump has already offended Mexicans, offended Australians, offended Muslims and offended women.
The Mexicans probably deserve it.
He has not offended me and millions of other Australians.
Offended Muslims....That would not be hard to do.
Offended women......That sounds more like a media beat up......The democrats flogged that one to death before he was elected....You know just like Labor's MEDISCARE.
Yes, I know off topic...so what?
It will be interesting to see if the impeachment stacks up...There could be a lot of huffing and puffing without the smoking gun.
