Too on point not to share, “Aussie reply to Trump rant about NATO not being there for us.
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 fucking mouth. Credit (borrowed from) Jim Scroggins - original author 📷 unknown”

BREAKING: Illegal Israeli settlers set fire to historic Church of Saint George (Al-Khadr), in Taybeh, West Bank, also known as Ephraim, dating back to the 5th century
Taybeh is called the last Christian village in the West Bank. It’s ancient, sacred, and peaceful. But settlers attacked it — burning the St. George Monastery and graveyards nearby.
Local clergy called police. No one came. And now settlers are back — destroying olive groves, grazing cattle on farmland, and attacking holy sites. This is not random — it’s erasure.
If your theology leads you to praise a state that burns churches and evicts Christians, then your god is power — not Christ. Taybeh matters. Speak now.

As the Department of Education has just been told to vacate the building by 6PM this afternoon, here's a reminder from George Carlin on why they are dismantling Education in this country.
“The don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking… that doesn’t help them. That’s against their interests. They want obedient workers. The want people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork, and just dumb enough to passively except all theses increasingly shittier jobs… And now they are coming for your social security money”
@realDonaldTrump If only we had independent, investigative, specialists who knew how to root out corruption and waste in the government!
Oh yeah, we did. They were called inspector generals and Trump fired them so he and Elon could lie and steal.
