Trump lies again-this time about 9-11 and Wall Street. Has he no shame?

Posted By Maurice Clark
Hi James,

Don't forget the incident in Jeffersontown Kentucky, where a white man tried to enter a black church, and when he couldn't get in he then shot 2 black people at a grocery store while ignoring a white person. The hate is getting more and more open. :-(

Here is an interesting perspective on all that is happening from the BBC. Its heading is "Pugilist or Peacemaker: The choice facing Donald Trump."

And the hate is getting more and more open.  You, James, Gerald, and the rest of the leftist loons out there spout it every day.  

Just a clue for you, the Baseball field shooter who nearly killed Steve Scalise was a Rabid Democrat who supported Bernie Sanders.  

I guess Bernie Sanders incited him, right?  
 Thank you Richie for beautifully illustrating my point.

On a lighter note

Hi All,

On a lighter note, the winners of the Royal Observatory Greenwich's annual photography competition have been announced. Some really amazing astrophotos!

Hi All,

Here is another look at the US election, this time from the ABC.

"Party identities are the clearest they have been in modern American politics — the Republicans swinging to the right, the Democrats to the left, locked in a bitter war with each other.

Caught in the middle, American voters will front the ballot box on November 6 in a different way to usual."

Is Cruz gonna lose?

Posted By Maurice Clark
Latest poll I see is by Dixie Strategies. They have Cruz up by 10 points. Average of the last few have him up by 8. While turnout is important, it is hard to see him losing. Even Tennessee is closer.

Probably more interesting are Nevada, Missouri, and Indiana. Those 3, along with Florida and Arizona will determine control of the senate. According to the polls I have seen, republicans have very slight leads in the first 3 and democrats slight leads in the latter 2. However, the leads are well within the margin of error so who knows what the results will be!

Trump Russia: Bungled plot emerges to smear Robert Mueller

Posted By Maurice Clark
Very strange report on the BBC news.

"A fake spy company, faked LinkedIn profiles, a conspiracy theorist and a pro-Trump blogger are all embroiled in the latest, and strangest, story in Washington DC."

"The plan unravelled across US media on Tuesday, one day after Jacob Wohl, a 20-year-old conservative blogger, tweeted on Monday night that a "scandalous" story about Mr Mueller was about to break."

Full story here:- https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-46042179

Reading the story, it sounds like this guy is a bit of a nut case.

"Money talks"? 

Yes it does. Unfortunately the only thing mine ever says is "Goodbye". :-(

G'Day Jim,

Yes i did. But unfortunate circumstances forced me to return to work. So now I am working at a university without an observatory, under skies that almost always seem to be cloudy, while my telescope gear sits at a beautiful dark location back in WA! sad

Hopefully only a couple more years and I can retire again!

Cheers,
