[B-52 "BUFF" @BoeingB52BUFF]

A cocky fighter pilot flies up next to a B-52 and brags on the radio, "Watch this!"

He hits his afterburners, does a barrel roll, and then a tight loop. "Top that!" he shouts to the B-52 pilot.

The B-52 pilot just flies straight and steady for 10 minutes.

"How'd you like that?" asks the B-52 pilot.

The fighter pilot is confused. "What did you do?"

The B-52 pilot replies, "I went to the back, stretched my legs, went to the bathroom, and made myself a fresh cup of coffee."

@HDealla Have you watched Citizen Vigilante yet? Might be some clues there.

There are two reasons you oppose nuclear power.

1) You're stupid.

2) You learned everything you think you know about nuclear power from The Simpsons.

Time to Free Derek Chauvin.

He didn’t kill George Floyd. Floyd died from a fentanyl overdose.

The autopsy and toxicology prove it. The restraint method Chauvin used was taught by his own department.

This was never justice. It was a political show trial.

Pardons exist for exactly this reason.

Right the wrong.

I don't think Australian understand.

If we hadn't spent a single cent on Net Zero.

And hadn't pursued mass migration from the third world.

Just those two things.

We'd be one of the richest nations, per capita, in the world. One of the safest nations. One of the most energy-rich nations. A nation where our own kids are first in every queue - housing, education, employment...

Two mistakes from politicians cost us EVERYTHING.

Woah, just watched Citizen Vigilante. Powerful movie. Can't wait for the sequel.

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

Charlie Kirk never got to see America’s 250th birthday.

So, in his honor, watch him shut down the typical liberal “stolen land” argument.

A college student confronts Kirk and says Americans are living on “stolen land” taken from the Mexicans.

Kirk asks who the Mexicans stole it from, then expertly turns his own words against him.

By the end, everyone is cheering for America. Watch how this one plays out.

STUDENT: “I want to acknowledge the fact that we are right now on stolen land and that we are on indigenous land and that we are on original Mexican land right now.”

KIRK: “I love this stolen land argument.”

STUDENT: “…I really make it a point to notice that I’m on stolen land at all times, especially when we think about things like Manifest Destiny.”

KIRK: “Who did the Mexicans steal the land from?”

STUDENT: “Actually, the Mexicans were there originally in Texas…”

KIRK: “Wrong. They stole it from lots of Indian tribes… Texas was not indigenously Mexican… there was the Cherokee. There were many different Native American tribes there. So Mexico was participating in Manifest Destiny at the behest of the Spanish crown.”

[Student acknowledges Kirk is right]

KIRK: “At some point, you have to believe in self-determination. If you can win the land, it’s yours. That is what built the West.”

STUDENT: “I can agree with that.”

KIRK: “So instead of a land acknowledgement… you should have a gratitude acknowledgement. ‘Praise God, I live in America! I’m glad!’ A gratitude acknowledgement would be nice.”

[Crowd erupts]

Charlie would have loved to experience America’s 250th birthday more than anyone.

He defended America on campuses exactly like this one until the day he died. The least we can do is carry his message forward.

Rest in Peace, Legend.

@SBSNews And yet it's surprisingly easy: a sports team is comprised of different races, religions, culture, colours, creeds and sexualities, yet they all come together wearing the same uniform, playing by the same set of rules and with the same goals.

@Bombers83 I care about football! North Melbourne can still make the top six, technically.

[Alexandra Marshall @ellymelly]

The Liberal Party has tried:

Breaking from the Nationals (twice)
Changing Leader (Scomo-Dutton-Ley-Angus-Hastie?)
Fear-mongering (vote orange you'll get Labor!)
Bargaining (we pinky-promise to do better)
Hermit-crabbing (we'll re-brand to look 'modern')

But what they haven't tried is ... fixing their policies 🤔

[Mick Baker @MickfromVic]

@Bombers83 It should be either Cabo Verde (all Spanish) or Cape Green (all English). I will die on this hill.

[Mick Baker @MickfromVic]

@AlexBarnesViews It would have been nice to have progressed, but I'm not a wog, so didn't really care. Another four years until the next one.

[Marko Matvikov @MarkoMatvikov]

Financial expert puts it plainly:

“We’re probably in a hard time here in Australia.

When you look at our real GDP, it’s minimal, I think it was 0.3% last quarter.

And from a per capita basis, we are in recession.

So what is propping our economy up currently is immigration.”

This has been going on for years - immigration without productivity growth drives prices up and living standards down.

This is the only type of economic growth this government knows - the type that makes life worse for the people already here.

@WarhorseStudios @czechgames It’s July 1st here in Australia. We’re the only country that is also a continent - so you need to tell us whether KCD the board game is a thing. We’ll keep your secret. Promise.
