Worrying things for the USA.

  1. The Big Beautiful bill that gives tax cuts to Billionaires
  2. The adding of trillions to the US debt
  3. The prospect of a long war in Iran with world chaos and rising prices
  4. Insider trading putting millions into the pockets of the most wealthy
  5. Tariffs sparking trade wars, disrupting world trade resulting in rising prices
  6. Trumps greed – using the Presidency to gain vast personal wealth – $5 billion in this Presidency
  7. The taking over of the democratic systems in order to steal future elections
  8. The phony religious nonsense being spouted from the Whitehouse and to troops to justify war and ensnare evangelicals
  9. The control of the DOJ to suppress the release of Epstein files and intimidate opponents
  10. The loading of the Supreme Court with Trump sycophants to protect him against prosecution
  11. The loading of the cabinet with inept, inappropriate, inexperienced, extreme nutcases on the basis of being sycophants
  12. The alienation of allies with interference in elections, extreme rudeness and open threats
  13. The sucking up to enemies, such as Putin, Kim Jung Un and Lukashenko
  14. The open support of extreme far-right politicians such as Oban, Bolsonaro, Wilders and Farage
  15. The use of Trump’s stormtroopers – ICE – to intimidate and disrupt democratic areas
  16. The complete disregard to international and national laws and safeguards – openly threatening and attacking other nations, giving ICE immunity to kill protestors and using executive orders instead of legal democratic procedure.
  17. The ridiculing of experts and science and ignorant denial of climate change
  18. Putting profit before peoples welfare and the environment – removing health and safety and promoting outdated, polluting industry
  19. The protection of paedophiles and release of unpleasant criminals just because they support Trump.
  20. The questioning of the democratic system, lies and conspiracy as justification of controlling elections (similarly to tactics used by Putin, Xi and Lukashenko.
  21. The hypocritical use of religion.

A tale of corruption and the undermining of democracy with direct support for Billionaires and the far right. Opening aligning with white supremacist groups, evangelical extremists and Nazi/Fascist ideology. Racist policies that target immigrants, people of colour and Muslims, scapegoating them to deflect from the real issue – the siphoning of wealth into the hands of a tiny elite. The protection of paedophiles and pardoning of criminals.

If I was American I’d be worried!

This isn’t draining the swamp; this is building a giant new swamp.

The Florida Everglades – photos

The wildlife was spectacular. I love the feel of those swamps. The Spanish moss and snakes!! It’s a bit steamy!

The Louisiana Bayous – Alligators, Birds, Snakes and Spiders – Photos

In 1988 we stayed with my daughter in Louisiana. It enabled me to spend some time in the bayous. An extraordinary place so packed with wildlife.

The USA – Alligators, Cypress Trees and Vultures in the Louisianna Swamps.

I just love those incredible cypress trees with their buttresses. The alligators were huge!!

Those Louisiana alligators are heavier than you think. I had to wrestle that one to submission. It was forty foot long and as mean as a sabre toothed tiger. It was almost as big as that spider! The Spanish moss was awesome.

These are some of the places we should take care to conserve. They are so wonderful!
