I love it when NSW Police Raptor force goes into West Sydney and absolutely crushes these pissant gangsters

Australian rules football stats are crazy. The AFL boasts almost the exact same average attendance as the English Premier League and it is mostly played in just one city, Melbourne.

Some of them have strong track records... and what about Sanjay Mehrotra's situation, where he founded Sandisk (another iconic business of geopolitical importance) and then ended up in charge of Micron?

Why not just ban H1B hiring moving forward, or make it quite costly to make sure you're only getting high quality talent? And create a genuinely rich citizenship test so that you know the people who stay are genuinely those who want to assimilate.

Tomorrow we are protesting India’s PM in Melbourne, where he is having a sold out diaspora rally with 30,000 Indians in Marvel stadium. Also in attendance are state and federal Australian leaders, who have already earmarked migration concessions to Modi. We’re saying no.

I was freshly out of university when the 7/7 bombings happened, but I remember it like it was yesterday. Easy to forget how much Islamist terrorism changed our lives for the worse. The mad thing is most of the perpetrators were born here, but also that during the War on Terror, Western nations imported millions more who were potentially partial to this ideology. It is a perplexing decision.

Sadly heading home in next few days as I ran out of money, but I just want to say: Americans, you have an absolutely BEAUTIFUL country, please always love and cherish it and never give it up!

America is an absolutely beautiful country, one of the best ever ❤️🇺🇸🇦🇺

I had such a great time, such a beautiful adventure. I can’t believe I got to see the World Cup and the 250th in DC. This is something I will remember for the rest of my life.

Texas was so beautiful, I got to see a rodeo, shoot guns at a firing range. The culture in Texas really reminded me of my home state of Queensland in Australia.

The wealth and abundance in America is awe inspiring. I was inspired meeting so many driven, motivated and highly intelligent people in San Francisco.

The stadiums, self driving cars, amazing Texas BBQ. Stealth bomber flyovers over DC for the 250th. Even just seeing AT&T Stadium in Dallas for the Australia vs Egypt was incredible.

My absolute highlight was seeing the Constitution at the National Archives in DC on the 250th. Such a great honour to see this beautiful document on the occasion of the 250th - a once in a lifetime experience. I lined up for nearly two hours in 100 degree Fahrenheit to see it and became friends with an old lady from Kentucky while standing in line. A beautiful moment.

Everybody was extremely nice to me. I probably received more than 100 messages from American followers asking to buy me a beer or take me to see some sights. One random follower even invited me to his wedding.

People were so nice, whether they were left or right. On my first day I met two young progressive college students at the Golden Gate Bridge Park, they asked me to take a pic for them. We started talking and I said I was a tourist who had literally just left my hotel for first time and they immediately insisted on showing me around.

We walked down the Golden Gate Bridge which remains an absolute marvel of American engineering aura and genius one century after its construction. I looked down into the vast freezing Bay and watched beautiful American geese (patriots of Western civilization) glide over the cresting and crashing waves. Then they gave me a lift to Chinatown in their Tesla and we got dinner before grabbing shakes at In-N-Out.

We became great friends. They were broadly left wing but kind of just chill guys and they didn’t care about the fact that I was right wing. Even though they were progressive they told me they were in film school and their dream was to make it big and retire their families. I loved that ambition and the fact that openly dreamed of success. People frown so much on that kind of ambition in Australia but these guys wanted to be great.

I have to say, both of them were immigrants who came to America as kids. One was a young Indian guy whose parents were medical researchers I think from Britain. The other was a Chinese guy whose family left China because they were entrepreneurs who hated Xi. Both of them really loved America and were proud to show me around San Francisco, even offering to drive me down to Los Angeles in their Tesla. Just really nice and great people. They didn’t care that I was right wing and they were nice to me so I really liked them. Chinese guy did a hilarious impression of Trump saying CHY NA, I was in stitches.

Everybody is so nice and welcoming here.

Thank you to the Trump administration for letting me back into the country after my Billie Eilish meme deportation in February, I really appreciate it.

Happy birthday America

I hope Australia and America will ALWAYS be friends ❤️

The strength of the Iran Regime is its Basij Resistance Force of low class uneducated and mostly ugly men, who delight in violently suppressing protests by well dressed, often better looking demonstrators.

@robkhenderson Are you sure that's inflation? Talk to businessmen in Asia or elsewhere, any place with more zero-sum thinking. To be seen to slum is to create the conditions for disrespect; this is not paranoia, it is reality for many billionaires in many places. Even in the first world.

I've seen a similar phenomenon in the U.S., where most long-term care facilities charge $10,000+ per month but the staff is mostly blacks and Indians who can barely speak English. I'll take a suicide pill before going into one of these places.

Carl Icahn perfectly explains why the pentagon adopting MBA culture was a disaster, why we need to bring abrasive generals back, why the press & politicians love useless admirals, and why consultants needs to be banned from government projects.

This is what the men who vent to me about their collapsing marriages usually say:

"She told me she wanted an equal partner. I already earn all the money, so she really meant having me do at least half of all household chores and childcare. I did it but now she treats me worse."

When you have eliminated the impossible, what remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

I don't know who actually rules Britain, not for sure, but whoever they are, there is a consensus among them that Britain is to be a third world nation, and its primary religion is to be Islam.

All other explanations are implausible.
