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.

🔥 Stop that, Sir Kenny! 👑

Some of us were lucky enough to see King Kenny live. When Keegan left I was gutted… then Kenny arrived and it became one of the best moments of my life

If you saw him play or grew up watching the highlights, what’s your favourite Dalglish moment?

Raise your hand! 👋

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is facing explosive questions after reportedly removing nine Navy officers from a promotion list that had already been selected by senior admirals.

According to defense officials speaking to the NYT, three women, and two Black men, were stripped from the list. The final result was a new slate of 22 nominees for one star admiral with no women at all.

Women make up about 21% of the active duty Navy, while racial minorities make up about 38% of active duty sailors.

The move is highly unusual. Pentagon rules say officers are generally removed from promotion lists only for serious concerns involving moral, mental, physical, or professional fitness. Pentagon officials reportedly identified no such failings.

Hegseth has previously blasted military leaders as “foolish,” “reckless” and “woke.” He also defended his interventions by claiming the military needed to correct years of “gender and demographic engineering.”

Only about 5% of eligible officers ever make it through the one star promotion process. Getting selected is supposed to represent excellence, not political approval.

Like and Share if you support a military promoted on merit, not ideology.

Only in America….

A woman can get Raped,

File a complaint,

Win a suit in Civil Court holding her rapist civilly liable…

And then be criminally prosecuted by the U.S. Department Of Justice…

Because she was fucking raped by a rich powerful man who’s well connected.

The youngest American killed in the Vietnam war was Dan Bullock. He was only 14 years old when he enlisted in the USMC in September of 1968 after falsifying his birth certificate.

He died in 1969 and was just 15 years old.

Hey MAGA Texans.

Let me introduce you to Adam Hoffman. He raped his son’s best friend from the age of six years old to nine years old. For three years this man raped a little boy.

Paxton made sure his buddy only got a 60 day sentence. Oh wait it gets better, he didn't even serve the full sixty days.

Wait wait, it's gets even better. He doesn't have to register as a sex offender and his record has been wiped clean.

MAGA maniacs want women to go to prison for miscarriages but are cool with pedophiles going free.

Ken Paxton is a disgusting criminal, that's why Trump endorsed him.

Make sure you have a plan to vote. @jamestalarico is what Texas needs. Not more of the Epstein Class.

#OnThisDay 1868 Fenian Michael Barrett became the last man to be publicly executed in Britain. Barrett was tried for his role in the Clerkenwell Jail Bombing, even though he was in Glasgow at the time & a witness known for supplying false testimonies was used.
