The BBC was blasting about the meeting between China and nations in South America and the Caribbean as if it was new. China and my country have had relations since1972. The 'belt and road' project began in 2019. How is it the...

Knowing less about world trade than the guy sitting on the road picking maggots out of his foot, Trump pulls back on his 'beautiful' tariffs. There are those who think there was an ulterior motive, and if there was, a brain more...

Step Forward, Step Back

Some years ago I was deeply involved in politics. I wasn't some mindless marcher, babbling, I was behind closed doors. An event occurred, and the Other Party, which was in power at the time, contacted the Party I belonged to...

https://jamaica-gleaner.com/article/news/20250509/us-accept-white-south-african-refugees-while-other-programmes-remain-paused From start Trump has been obviously racist. Obviously anti-Hispanic. Yet, in America non-whites,...

When I was living in Paradise I had to walk up the hill a bit to get on the road, then turn left and go to Dezi's shop. One day, for no reason, the guy across the road parked in such a way as to block that path. It wasn't an...

"Fake News"

kay lar @jaylar (1390) • Kingston, Jamaica 2 May

When Trump came into power he immediately attacked the BBC and CNN as spreaders of 'Fake News'. He did this in the style of 'faight and look at the other guy'. When we were in Primary School if we passed gas, we turned to...

One Hundred Days of Madness

kay lar @jaylar (1390) • Kingston, Jamaica 29 Apr

It was not unexpected that Trump, needing attention, would enter office with his standard bluster and babble. He gave many of us a lot of laughs as we shared pop corn watching the show. We used to consider America a strong...

Living in Jamaica, away from the events, I can watch as if a television show. And this is what I see.. I see a President drowning in his own ego, easily manipulated by China and, of course, Putin. Trump is easy to read and...

Wrongly Taking Credit

Many years ago, allergic to chocolate, I read about Rasputin. Afraid of being poisoned, he built up an immunity by taking a little every day, increasing the dosage. I bought a chocolate bar, and ate a fingernail scraping. I...

Most you use Firefox, Chrome or Edge. You search using Google. You have Facebook accounts. Years ago, when the Internet became commercially available, that would be 1990 for some, 1995 for Jamaica, the ability to hack into...

The Power of 'Influencers'

kay lar @jaylar (1390) • Kingston, Jamaica 19 Apr

Someone with no credentials, no credibility, posts something on a social network. Mindless sheep believe every word and will propagate it without pause. This is the power of 'influencers'. You can't sue an 'influencer'....

Talk About Rare Earth

kay lar @jaylar (1390) • Kingston, Jamaica 16 Apr

Without verifying, Trump begins a 'Trade War' with China. He is unaware that America buys more from China, relies more on China than China needs the United States. Unlike those who do their research before speech or action,...

In the 1970s we moved away from US products. When the US underthrew our Gov, US stuff began to fill the country. We slowly began moving away from the US and were 'invaded' by China which swamps our markets. There are very...

We know what comes from China, obviously Trump and his clowns did not. Look how long it took for them to realise that the phones and laptops they use are manufactured in China. To tax those products hurts only...

Tariffs are flung on the goods of all nations. Some retaliate. As a capitalist nation this upends the economy, fluctuation on the stock market. The price of many stocks fell. Billionaires were losing money. Then, there was...

The Tariffs

kay lar @jaylar (1390) • Kingston, Jamaica 10 Apr

Before you attack, do some research on China's incursion into the Third World and that it trades with more countries than the US. Tariffs will not hurt China, they will hurt Americans who have become used to cheap Chinese goods....

China makes cheap and inferior goods. China sells all over the world, especially to Third World nations. America's tariffs aren't going to effect most of China's trade. The majority of people who will be effected by tariffs...
