Trump's travel ban to target up to 43 countries ... Now, with that deadline approaching, a draft list of proposed countries banned from traveling to the US is circulating, the New York Times reported. A White House official told The Independent no decision has been made.... ...President Donald Trump’s administration has proposed a three-tier ban on citizens from certain countries from entering the US. The draft list was separated into three sections — red, orange, and yellow — to denote the level of restriction, according to the outlet..... Citizens from the 11 countries in the "red" category would be entirely barred from entering the US. These countries include Afghanistan, Bhutan, Cuba, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela, and Yemen. Countries in the "orange" category would affect immigrant, tourist and student visas, with some exception. The list consists of Belarus, Eritrea, Haiti, Laos, Myanmar, Pakistan, Russia, Sierra Leone, South Sudan and Turkmenistan. The countries in the "yellow" category would have 60 days to address concerns raised by Washington or risk being moved to one of the two more restrictive groups. The category facing either indefinite travel ban or heavy restrictions list includes Angola, Antigua and Barbuda, Benin, Burkina Faso, Vanuatu, Gambia, the Dominican Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Zimbabwe, Cape Verde, Cambodia, Cameroon, Congo, Liberia, Mauritania, Malawi, Mali, São Tomé and Príncipe, Guinea, Saint Kitts and Nevis, and Chad. The White House has not publicly commented on the reported memo. The list comes on the back of an executive order Trump signed on 20 January, which says it would protect the country and its citizens from “aliens who intend to commit terrorist attacks, threaten our national security, espouse hateful ideology, or otherwise exploit the immigration laws for malevolent purposes.” The order required several cabinet members to provide recommendations on which countries should be included in the travel ban, according to reports. During a press briefing on Wednesday, US President Donald Trump was asked which countries might be included in a new list concerning the executive order. Trump declined to answer, stating, "Wouldn’t that be a stupid thing for me to say?" Coss "Yes Donald, like everything you say, Stupid". MLG was concerned, as Laos was on the list, Coss say "You gonna go to 'merica?"........ "no?" "I thought so..." a LINK for more...

I belong to another forum for the outdoor hunting types and you'd be surprised, how many of the other forum members are mechanics. Virtually all of them say the same thing about Tesla - poorly made, bad quality control as you say, parts very hard to get. Yer average Toyota or Nissan electric, is light years ahead in quality. I think I posted earlier about seeing a Cyber Truck in Vientiane, parked up, an inch of dust on it. My joke was they'd not worked out where to put in the petrol and so when the electric had run out, from the charge it had when new, there it sat. But in a more mature moment I surmise that they are waiting on a part. Also I am surprised that Eion did not take Donald for a spin in the bought/gifted red Tesla, to demonstrate the self drive mode. It could have malfunctioned in a most fortuitous manner, 2 birds with one Lithium fire, so to speak.

Dear Bubi, Your comments about Putin I can summarise: "Putin say No" Donald say "K" As to 275 million, my price is 27.5 m. Donald, on receipt of 27.5 million USD, I will proselytise for you, the best man ever, in the history of ever, since God gave us free will. Everyone is saying so. * * sample only full payment must be received in order to activate proselytising.

Next time, take a crocodile: Aus PM’s advice for US tourist after viral wombat video “I would suggest to this so-called influencer. Maybe she might try some other Australian animals. Take a baby crocodile from its mother and see how you go there,” Albanese said. “Take another animal that can actually fight back rather than stealing a baby wombat from its mother. See how you go then.” Sam Jones, or Samantha Strable, who also claims on her Instagram to be a “Wildlife Biologist & Environmental Scientist”, is described as a Database Administrator on a former list of staff members at the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks agency. ___ Moron woman, Good on yer Albanese.

I recently spoke to a chap that was at the U.N. in ~2018 when they all laughed at Trump as he made his speech to them - LINK I asked "did you laugh?" He replied "I listened carefully to what he was saying". And then he smirked, the smile remaining on his face for about 10 minutes. He a career diplomat, would never say anything, anywhere, that could come back to bite him. _____ World leaders used to laugh at Trump from a distance, now they come to his office to do so. Trump thinks they are laughing with pleasure, at being in the presence of the new King. No Donald - at you - not with you.
