The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Suggestions have been made to pay people for donating, however there are concerns about the dangers of that. Do you think we should pay people for these donations?

Biding Time - Time Out

Michael from Trentham

It is so sad to see and hear an honest, solid achieving gentleman politician that is Joe Biden, the leader of the free world and the leader of the number one super power and economic giant nation, fail in mind and body so that he is no longer hanging on in facing the terror and threat of the appaulingTrump retaking the reigns of power.

Well before the presidents debate of last Friday was it obvious Biden was not up to the mark anymore. The use of a telepronter made his recent State of the Union speech sound pitch perfect but his slip-up performances at the G7 meetings in Italy a few weeks ago was reported as pitiful

The sooner he calls it quits from contesting the Presidency and orchestrates the Vice President, Harris take over wiining the November elections for the Democrats, the better.

Make no mistake the writing is on the wall for Biden.

Whoever wins the USA presidency for the next 4 years from the start of 2025 Harris or Trump - will affect NZ and Upper Hutt enormously.
