"US President Donald Trump on Tuesday said Palestinians would "love" to leave their embattled homeland in Gaza and live elsewhere if given an option.

They would "love to leave Gaza," he told reporters as he signed a raft of initiatives at the White House. "I would think that they would be thrilled."

"I don't know how they could want to stay. It's a demolition site," he said, more than 15 months after US ally Israel launched a punishing invasion of the territory in retaliation for attacks launched by Palestinian militant group Hamas.

Trump spoke as he was due to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to discuss the truce with Hamas. He is likely to urge his ally to stick to the deal, parts of which have yet to be finalized.

Trump has previously touted a plan to "clean out" Gaza, calling for Palestinians to move to Egypt or Jordan."

Making way for Mar A Gaza?

Surely not?

Trump Signals He Might Ignore the Courts

“The United States is sleepwalking into a constitutional crisis.

Not only has the Trump administration seized for itself extraconstitutional powers, but yesterday, it raised the specter that, should the courts apply the text of the Constitution and negate its plans, it will simply ignore them.

Trump refuses to even try to pass his plans democratically.

And as courts have stepped in to halt his efforts to ignore the law, he is now threatening to ignore them too.”

What's new?

Trump has done this all his life, and the Supreme Court has endorsed Presidential Immunity.

Good news - he's set the smoke alarms off!

Is this true ?

I've been off work since Friday, spent a few days with my daughter and visiting mum, tomorrow ill be up north for a few days.
My moan today is about time off and how fast it goes! By the time I've caught up on stuff in the house, caught up with kids/grandkids/family most of the times gone ...by the time I go back to work I need a rest!
How fast does time go for you right now?

A man who served 17 years in prison for a rape he did not commit says he was "shaking" when his lawyer told him he had received the first part of a compensation payment.

Andrew Malkinson had his conviction quashed in 2023 after years protesting his innocence, but has waited since then for compensation.

The 59-year-old, who was a security guard working in Salford before his arrest, was wrongly convicted in 2004 and chances to free him were repeatedly missed, leading to one of the worst miscarriages of justice in UK legal history.

Mr Malkinson said he "would hesitate to say that I am grateful... but I am relieved the Ministry of Justice has finally done the right thing to lift me out of limbo with this interim payment."

"No one should have to wait this long to be able to start to rebuild their life, and too many innocent people are being denied compensation altogether."

Mr Malkinson said the £1m cap on compensation payouts for people who have been in jail for more than 10 years should be lifted.

Andy now faces the risk of losing his social housing flat just because he has been awarded this money."

Head -shaking - but no heads rolling in the Civil Service...

How do they manage in the same House?

When Donald Trump was asked a question from a journalist with a strong middle eastern accent, he avoided answering by saying "I can't understand a word you said, but you have a nice voice, where is your accent from" When she told him, he blanked her and asked for the next question.
What do you all think? Racist Trump?
