President Donald Trump is toying with renaming one of the world's most critical shipping routes after -- who else -- himself. Speaking at an investor forum in Miami on Friday night, Trump casually referred to the Strait of Hormuz as the "Strait of Trump," before quickly correcting himself, then insisting it wasn't a slip.
The sea ice is crucial to Earth's climate because without it reflecting sunlight, more heat energy goes into the oceans.
You actually think companies are going to pay Americans to take customer service calls in the AI age?
President Trump took a swipe at Fox News and its polls while speaking on the network's "The Five" on Thursday, saying he "hates" them. "I hate Fox polls," he said on the show. "Honestly, whoever does your polls are terrible." The latest Fox News poll shows Trump with a 41 percent approval rating and a 59 percent disapproval rating.
Even without this anecdote, Sec Kennedy has shown himself to be, I'll be kind, different.

Men At Work - It's a Mistake (1983)

Lyrics excerpt...
...
[Verse 1]
Jump down the shelters to get away
The boys are cockin' up their guns
Tell us general, is it party time?
If it is, can we all come?
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Don't think that we don't know
Don't think that we're not trying
Don't think we move too slow
It's no use after crying
[Chorus]
Saying it's a mistake
It's a mistake
It's a mistake
It's a mistake
[Verse 2]
After the laughter has died away
And all the boys have had their fun
No surface noise now, not much to say
They got the bad guys on the run
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Don't try to say you're sorry
Don't say he drew his gun
They've gone and grabbed old Ronnie
He's not the only one

[Chorus]
Saying it's a mistake
It's a mistake
It's a mistake
It's a mistake
[Verse 3]
Tell us, commander, what do you think?
'Cos we know that you love all that power
Is it on then, are we on the brink?
We wish you'd all throw in the towel
[Pre-Chorus 3]
We'll not fade out too soon
Not in this finest hour
Whistle your favourite tune
We'll send a card and flower
[Chorus]
Saying it's a mistake
It's a mistake
It's a mistake
It's a mistake, oh
[Outro]
It's a mistake (It's a mistake)
It's a mistake (It's a mistake)
It's a mistake (It's a mistake)
It's a mistake (It's a mistake)
It's a mistake (It's a mistake)
It's a mistake (It's a mistake)
It's a mistake, it's a mistake
(It's a mistake)

Carrier USS Gerald R. Ford Arrives in Souda Bay for Repairs After Laundry Room Fire
news.usni.org
... USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) pulled into port at Souda Bay, Greece, the Navy announced Monday.
Ford, the flagship of the Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group, is in port for maintenance and repairs following a March 12 fire in the aft laundry room.
A ship spotter saw Ford and three destroyers head into the Suez Canal on Saturday. A replenishment ship also accompanied the aircraft carrier. It's unclear whether the destroyers also finished the transit north through the Suez.
Ford is scheduled for more than a week of repairs, USNI News previously reported. The Navy's Monday announcement did not say how long Ford is expected to be in port.
"The aircraft carrier remains fully mission capable," reads the Navy statement. "The port call allows for the ship to undergo efficient assessment, repairs and resupply."
More than 200 sailors were treated for smoke inhalation, with one sailor medically evacuated from the carrier, after being injured in the damage control effort. Two others were treated for lacerations, USNI News reported.
The smoke damage from the laundry room fire extended to the berthing. The Navy took 1,000 mattresses off the future USS John F. Kennedy (CVN-79) in Newport News, Va., to send to Ford. More than 100 racks were lost in the fire, a Pentagon spokesman told USNI News. ...

Lyrics excerpt...
...
The subject of the song, the injustice suffered by Australian Aboriginal people and the need to repay the debt that generations of settlers owe them, is one of the reasons for its success.
[Pre-Chorus]
The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share
The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
Let's give it back
[Chorus]
How can we dance when our earth is turnin'?
How do we sleep while our beds are burnin'?
How can we dance when our earth is turnin'?
How do we sleep while our beds are burnin'?
