By David Abbruzzes:

This Australian's reply to Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."

Very well stated.

I, too, sing America.
I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.
Tomorrow,
I’ll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody’ll dare
Say to me,
“Eat in the kitchen,”
Then.
Besides,
They’ll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed—
I, too, am America.

— Langston Hughes, “I, Too,” 1926

Just so everyone is clear: Obama already had an Iran Nuclear Deal. Trump ripped it up when he came into office, choosing a policy of "maximum pressure" instead. So now he's saying we might go to war in order to get an Iran Nuclear Deal.
You cannot make this stuff up.

Remember when politicians like Lauren Boebert were trying to convince people that schools were allowing children to identify as cats? Well, it turns out it's dogs, and it's happening at Mar-a-Lago.

11 confirmed dead, many others seriously injured.

Approximate 50 shots fired at a Hanukkah party on the beach.

[Cara Mendelsohn 🟦 @caraathome]

My college-age son just told me his Rabbi at Texas A&M's son, who is about his age, was one of the people shot in Australia at the Hanukkah party.

He is post surgery and in critical but stable condition. Please pray for him. ✡️🕎

Dude who paid $130,000 of campaign money to hide the fact he boinked a porn star while his 3rd wife was pregnant with his 5th child from three different women says what?

@EckhartTolle Thank you, I hadn't considered that I have a compulsion to think. That is helpful to see.

Trump said he'd be 'stupid' not to accept Bribe Force One from Qatar.

But this isn't an intelligence test or a personality test, it's a constitutional test. And the right answer is: under the Constitution, he must seek the approval of Congress to accept a gift “of any kind whatever” from a foreign government or king.
