Well as we wake up to another Tuesday morning in an increasingly hostile world where China is in a standoff with India over the deaths of three Indian soldiers, North Korea's soldiers await orders to re-enter the DMZ after North Korea blows up an inter Korean liaison office and Russia incites violence by white supremacist groups with in US while spreading fascism, racism and right wing terrorism worldwide, so other than all that let's see what else there is to rant about.

In America, Trump has confirmed plans to withdraw nearly ten thousand American troops from bases in Germany after accusing Germany of being "delinquent" in its payments to Nato, and said he would stick with the plan unless Berlin changed its course as he has long complained that European members of Nato should spend more on their own defence. On the same day as the top court in the US has ruled that employers who fire workers for being gay or transgender are breaking the country's civil rights laws. In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court who has become more conservative said federal law, which prohibits discrimination based on sex, should be understood to include sexual orientation and gender identity which is a major win for LGBT workers and their allies. Trump's administration sided with that argument made by lawyers for the employers who had argued that the authors of the 1964 Civil Rights Act had not intended it to apply to cases involving sexual orientation and gender identity. All this and more violence as a protester in Albuquerque, New Mexico was shot by Trump's militia the aptly named the NM civil guard which local authorities have classified as terrorists who this time at least were arrested. so basically Trumps people are pro racial and sexual discrimination which is truly a backward step for humanity. The Americans have given the reins to a person who has no morals and conducts the role as his own personal piggy bank and private Army, when will America wake up and smell the racist and sexist BS been sprouted withing the halls of power.

In other headlines  Trump is set to sue to stop the publication of a tell-all book by John Bolton, his third national security adviser, stating at an event in the White House later in the day, that it would be up to the attorney general, William Barr, to issue any charges, but he hinted that the matter would end up in court. “We’ll see what happens. They’re in court or they’ll soon be in court,” Trump added about the boo, just as Trump's niece is set to publish an unflattering tell-all memoir about him. On 28 July, Mary Trump is due to release Too Much And Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man, Simon & Schuster announced on Monday hitting the shelves just weeks before the Republican National Convention, when her uncle will accept the party's nomination for his re-election bid in November. The memoir will reportedly reveal how she supplied the New York Times with confidential documents to print a sprawling investigation into Mr Trump's personal finances, alleging Trump was involved in "fraudulent" tax schemes and received more than $400m (£316m) in today's money from his father's real estate empire with how specific events and general family patterns created the damaged man who currently occupies the Oval Office, including the strange and harmful relationship between Fred Trump and his two oldest sons, Fred Jr and Donald, which caused the president to dismiss and deride his father once he began to suffer from Alzheimer's. So Trump has very big skeletons in his closet and a family history of Alzheimer's disease which can be an explanation for his speech, his inability to drink properly, his erratic performances and outbursts, his lack of train of thought and his total demeanour.

So, as the world sits on a knife edge with several countries ready to start world war three, the headlines in the UK are concerned with the number of workers on UK payrolls diving by more than six hundred thousand between March and May, official figures suggest while, the number of people claiming work-related benefits including the unemployed went up by one hundred and twenty six percent to nearly three million. So in the midst of a deadly pandemic, several countries lining up for war and even more countries protesting the inequality of minority groups the biggest news is the UK's unemployment when it should be concerned about everything especially the fact that the world is looking like heading in to a economic depression which is scary. My brain cannot take this so I will call it a day.

Rant you Tomorrow!
