🚨 Arsene Wenger on Lionel Messi's hat-trick and becoming the World Cup's all time leading goalscorer:
🗣“What we witnessed today goes beyond another record. It is the continuation of a career that has consistently redefined the standards of excellence in football.
It wasn't simply a hat-trick,it was the quality of the goals, the intelligence behind every decision, and the efficiency with which Messi influenced the game. Those are the qualities that separate truly exceptional players from the rest.
For many years people have tried to compare Messi with other great footballers, but there comes a point where comparisons lose their meaning. He has built a legacy that stands on its own.
What fascinates me most is his evolution. I genuinely don't know whether the young Messi, with his explosive pace and dribbling, was better than the experienced Messi we see today, who controls every moment of the game with his intelligence and understanding. Very few players improve with age the way he has.
The emotion after his second goal revealed another side of his greatness. It reminded everyone of the difficult journey he has had with Argentina,the disappointments, the criticism, and the perseverance that eventually led to glory. That emotional connection with his country continues to drive him.
To score his first World Cup hat trick while becoming the tournament's all time leading goalscorer is an extraordinary achievement. It is another milestone in a career that already seemed impossible to improve.
Perhaps the most remarkable aspect is his longevity. He finished the 2022 World Cup by lifting the trophy after scoring twice in the final, and he has opened the 2026 tournament with a hattrick. At almost 39 years of age, he continues to perform with the same clarity, technical quality, and love for the game that defined him in his twenties.
That is the mark of a truly timeless footballer.”
The African immigrant on the left has founded seven companies, directly and indirectly created 800,000 good paying jobs, created thousands of new American millionaires, developed reusable orbital rockets and brain chips that are giving independence to paraplegics, saved free speech, and can’t stop talking about how much he loves America.
The African immigrant on the right married her brother to commit immigration fraud, facilitated the theft of money intended to feed hungry kids, has used government to enrich herself, praises terrorists, and can’t stop talking about how much she hates America.
Leftists want the African immigrant on the left punished with punitive taxes and deported, but will try to run over law enforcement and get shot in the face in support of the African immigrant on the right.
I think possibly the best thing about Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire is how angry it makes a bunch of losers who've never built a thing in their lives.
Ethiopia was never colonized.
For much of its history, it was one of the poorest countries on the continent.
Meanwhile, Vietnam was colonized by the French, devastated by decades of war, and is now on its way to serious economic prosperity.
If colonialism were the answer to why Africa is poor, Ethiopia should be rich and Vietnam should be broke. Neither is true.
Can we please retire this excuse?
@HantsPolice@smg1664 What an absolute disgrace. Indicative of the idealogical corruption that has compromised structural societal systems by weak-minded and easily influenced people.
Singapore has no oil. No gas. No coal. No iron ore.
Australia has all four in massive quantities.
Albanese had to fly to Singapore to ask for fuel.
Read that twice and tell me the problem is scarcity.
How could I forget the Wong?
Penny Wong Salary: $438,000 Average expenses: ~$1,200,000 – $1,800,000
Total: $1.64 million – $2.24 million every 12 months.
It's getting insulting now isn't it?

Finally both parties are showing their real colours after a decade when they mostly tried to be a slightly more attractive version of the other side, with the Coalition just a little less enthusiastic than Labor for big government, climate action, and mass migration.
By committing a future Coalition government to ending bracket creep, taxation by stealth, Taylor has made the next election wealth creation versus wealth redistribution and pitched the Liberals as the party of aspiration versus the party of resentment.
Higher taxes on property and heavier taxes on wealth creation are not just broken promises with no redeeming policy feature. They're an assault on the Australian dream that people who strive to get ahead should not be punished for their efforts and that people who 'have a go' should get a 'fair go' from government.

This Odyssey thing has pissed me off so much. And I'm not even Greek.
We've seen this same thing play out so many times over the years - remember everyone insisting Cleopatra was black, or that Vikings had a "diverse" society? I'm sick to death of leftists trying so hard to destroy European cultures.
White populations are entitled to our own unique stories, histories, mythologies that DO NOT INCLUDE non-whites.
And when you make this point and say, "hey, it's shitty to erase white people from their own history", leftists will scream at you that mythology isn't even real, so why do we care?
Well, you guys race-swap our historical figures, too - like casting Anne Boleyn as a black woman, trying to insist Queen Charlotte was black, adding black people to Viking stories, telling us constantly how multicultural ancient Rome and Greece were.
But, the mythology thing, to me, is the worst of all.
Because it means you think you're entitled to fuck with the fabric of European cultures. These narratives often tell a people who they are, where they came from, and what they value.
Some of these mythologies are so impactful and enduring that they have shaped Western art, literature, philosophy, law, identity.
And it's why they continue to be useful today in helping to explain who our ancestors were and what mattered to them.
You don't just get to erase that bc you have diversity quotas????
It is disgusting that dismantling the cultural heritage of white people is so socially accepted.
But, it has gone far enough. And it needs to stop.
A recently arrived Iraqi immigrant who drove into a Melbourne primary school, killing 11 year old Jack Davey and injuring four other children, has escaped with just a $2,371 fine and no conviction.
Shaymaa Oun Ghazi Zuhaira, a 41 year old P plater, slammed into Auburn South Primary School in Hawthorn East, killing Jack Davey, 11, and seriously injuring four other children aged 10 and 11.
They took seven months to charge Zuhaira with "careless driving", during which time she took an overseas holiday.
Police inexplicably allowed her to plead guilty to a minor charge that carried no jail time.
She tried to get an even lighter sentence by arguing that the crash was caused by trauma from her life in Iraq “triggered” by a meeting with teachers about her son's reckless behaviour before the crash.
She now claims she suffers PTSD “extreme depression" and anxiety as a result of the crash.
Police protected and defended driver Shaymaa Oun Ghazi Zuhaira, 41, from the beginning to the end, and were even seen delivering groceries to her house.
Zuhaira has since been “awarded”citizenship.
While little Jack Davey lays in the ground.
Diversity is our strength.
