I saw two guys on the freeway overpass today. They had banners hanging over the side that said "abolish AIPAC". One guy was waving an American flag and the other guy was scrolling his phone in the shade. They looked like 20 y/o gangbangers.  Like if they weren't  there, they would be on a county jail road crew somewhere.

WTF? That was weird.

They’re probably getting paid.

I'm not looking for a lecture about religion here - but these younger kids dont drink the Israel Kool-Aid, at all. Maybe an unintended side effect of social media, IDK.

Israel is not the problem. Islam is the problem. I’ve travelled extensively in the Middle East (wink wink), and never was more comfortable in a Middle East nation, than in Israel. 

Calling for Netanyahu’s arrest for “Genocide”, while Fauci the murderer of 7+ million people walks free is kind of rich. 

Damn genealogy made me discover my heritage is actually that of an Ashkenazi Jew. Germans. You ever see a blonde haired, blue eyed Jew? 🤣

You do realize the reason nothing happened to Fauci is because he’s Jewish? You also realize Epstein was Mossad?

Not a doubt in my mind that Epstein was Mossad. He was also a Democrat shill. The Zorro Ranch in Stanley, NM? I’m from Stanley. 

Zorro was previously owned by the King Family, who was introduced to Epstein, via Bill Clinton and former NM Governor, Democrat Bill Richardson. 

Oh yeah, Bruce King is a former NM Democrat Governor and his son Gary, was the NM Democrat attorney general. 

If you read articles about the ranch, the “security” ranch manager and his wife, are Steve and Amber Chavez. People I know from school and bull riding. 

See, I form my opinion on real life experience. Not on the propaganda the news tells me to believe. 

If Israel ceased to exist tomorrow, there still wouldn’t be Peace in the Middle East. 

Why is it the propagandists are so concerned with Netanyahu and not Fauci? Because Fauci is on their team. 

What do I know, I’ve actually spent time in numerous Muslim countries. Yeah, I was there to fuck shit up and kill people, but still.

AIPAC? The organization that represents Isreal? 

The one trying to “merge” our military with theirs… a foreign government?

The foreign government that directly funds individual U.S. politicians for their own gain? (94% of congress members by the way)
 

The same organization that will attempt to crucify you publicly if you make any type of criticism towards their government? I’m sure they would neverrrrrrr try to manipulate the US into doing what they want. Pshhh, why would we even think that! 

@Spurdo  , yes no one my age or even around my age “drinks the kool aid”  we just shake our heads as we watch the boomers ( no offense ) turn on their cable news to clap and praise their favorite political party or politician in a system that has been in a slow decay for the past 2 decades, While giving a chunk of their money to a small country 7,000 miles away with better benefits to their citizens than us.

How about the pedophile Catholics? 

Look up, “Servants of Paraclete”. More child molesters brought in to New Mexico by Democrats. 

Oh wait, the favorite in the current New Mexico Governors election, Deb Haaland, another Democrat who flew on Epstein’s plane with Gary King. 

Pattern recognition. I’m trained in it.

Not to turn this into a generational pissing match, but the generation that makes fun of boomers for watching fox news is the same one shutting down cities with BLM and queers for Palestine rallies. Being brainwashed by the mob or whatever that generations preferred media delivery method is isn't unique to any one generation. It's just a different flavor of kool-aid.

Agreed. Although  how many (percentage pie) of the generation you are taking about is shutting down cities? About a 100 million of people under 30 in the US. I doubt even more than 8-15 percent contribute to the extremism’s we see broadcasted on the mainstream.


Also I never said Fox News, I said cable news. I can clown Fox News just as much as I can CNN.

That's probably true. It's been a little baffling to me why the left has let the relatively small number of crazy people on their side dominate the message and how obediently the old guard has gone along with it. I do not believe Joe Biden thinks men can have periods but he sure wants you to think he believes it.

Real honest, I don’t give a proper shit about what a wannabe Euro Trash Aussie has to say, about shit dealing with our Nation. It’s one of those, kind of mind your own fucking business things. You live in an ex penal colony, current police state. Go fix your own fucked up country before you question ours. 

ANZUS treaty of 1951, the United States has been protecting Oz from China. How long could you keep the wolves at bay without the United States?

Red card. A birthday message from Australia to America

(by Andrew Brown, Michael West Media)


 

Dear America,

Happy 250th, mate.

Quarter of a millennium. Massive effort. Not many countries make it that far, and fewer still make it that far while holding a national debate about whether children deserve lunch.

You started with liberty. Then democracy. Then somewhere in the third act you flogged the lot to a private equity firm and kept the merchandise rights. Now you are three corporations in a trench coat, standing on an aircraft carrier,

“screaming about freedom at a bloke who cannot afford an ambulance.”

Fair dinkum, your star-spangled greatness is an abject failure. It is swinging like a dunny-door in a cyclone. Still attached. Still banging away. Not actually keeping anything out.

You sell insulin like it is vintage Grange. You make dying people sit on hold before they are allowed to argue with death. You charge a woman for holding her own baby after giving birth to it. Skin-to-skin contact. Line item. Invoice attached.

Mate, we would not charge you to pat a dog at Bunnings.

You have blokes sleeping in the supermarket car park before their shift stacking shelves inside. The staff car park. Of the supermarket. Where they work. And your answer to all of it is a bald eagle screeching over a Ford ad.

Illusions of democracy

Every four years someone stands in front of a flag the size of Tasmania and announces this is the greatest country on Earth. At what, cobber? Medical bankruptcy? School shootings? Thoughts and prayers as a national industrial policy? Your minimum wage has been parked so long it should be heritage listed. Yeah nah. That is not a dream. That is a hostage situation with fireworks.

And you cannot even hear any of this, because questioning America is the one thing Americans consider un-American. Land of the free, home of the touchy. Point out the emperor has no clothes and eighty million of you salute the nudity.

Then there is the money. Nearly a trillion a year for the Pentagon while forty percent of your adults cannot cover a surprise bill without flogging something on Facebook Marketplace. You borrow to feed the war machine, then borrow again to pay the interest on the borrowing. That is not an economy. That is a bloke paying off one credit card with another and calling himself an investor.

“Couldn’t run a chook raffle, but sure, run the free world.”

The rich own the future. The poor rent the present. The middle class is being carried out the back like a busted couch on council pickup day.

Fentanyl economy

And then there is the fentanyl. Whole streets folded over like question marks, in the country that put a man on the moon. Your drug companies got millions hooked, made billions, paid a fine and kept the yachts. Overdoses now kill more Americans every single year than the entire Vietnam War did, and the official response is a shrug and a share price. You declared a war on drugs fifty years ago. The drugs won.

“Only war you have ever been honest about losing.”

Speaking of wars. Eight hundred bases. Stealth bombers. Satellites that can spot a goat scratching its nuts in the Hindu Kush. A defence budget that looks like someone fell asleep on the zero key. And you still keep getting your arse handed to you by blokes in sandals.

Twenty years in Afghanistan. Trillions gone. Thousands of your own kids in coffins. Then you handed the keys back to the exact blokes you went there to remove. You arrived like the Death Star. You left like a man sneaking out of a motel at 2am because the card declined. You are not a country with a military anymore.

“You are a military with a healthcare problem,”

carrying on like a pork chop about freedom while jailing more of your own people than any nation on the planet. Land of the free. Highest incarceration rate on Earth. Even the irony is doing time.

And through all of it, the chant. USA, USA, USA. Three letters shouted at the sky like a car alarm nobody can switch off. You chant it at the footy. You chant it at rallies. You chant it at the funerals of wars you lost.

Notice something, mate. Nobody chants when they are actually winning. You have never once heard forty thousand Kiwis scream New Zealand , New Zealand, New Zealand at a scoreboard. The All Blacks just win, do a haka that makes grown men soil themselves, then go home and get free knee surgery. Your chant is not confidence.

“Your chant is the noise you make so you cannot hear the sirens.”

It’s all so sad

We grew up on you. Your movies. Your music. Your moon landing. Half of Australia learned to dream in an American accent. You were the mate with the big house and the loud laugh, and we loved coming over.

Now we visit, and the roof leaks, the kids are doing active shooter drills between maths and little lunch, Grandpa is rationing his insulin like it is wartime butter, and the waitress needs a twenty five percent tip because you decided wages were communism. It is not funny anymore, mate.

“It is a dog’s breakfast with better fireworks.”

So this year we got you the only present that might actually help. A mirror.

Have a proper look. Past the flag. Past Hollywood. Look at the tent cities. The hospital bills. The veterans under the bridges. The kid doing homework in the back seat of the family home. Then ask yourself one question. Greatest country on Earth? Or just the loudest galah in the cage?

Happy birthday anyway. Enjoy the cake. Go easy on the candles though. At your hospitals, the price of a singed eyebrow is a second mortgage.

Keep the mirror. We’re not perfect, either, but you need it more than we do.

Love, Australia

P.S. Yeah nah. Greenland is not the poorly run one. It has free universal healthcare.

You left like a man sneaking out of a motel at 2am because the card declined. You are not a country with a military anymore.

“You are a military with a healthcare problem,”

carrying on like a pork chop about freedom while jailing more of your own people than any nation on the planet. Land of the free. Highest incarceration rate on Earth. Even the irony is doing time.

And through all of it, the chant. USA, USA, USA. Three letters shouted at the sky like a car alarm nobody can switch off. You chant it at the footy. You chant it at rallies. You chant it at the funerals of wars you lost.

Notice something, mate. Nobody chants when they are actually winning. You have never once heard forty thousand Kiwis scream New Zealand , New Zealand, New Zealand at a scoreboard. The All Blacks just win, do a haka that makes grown men soil themselves, then go home and get free knee surgery. Your chant is not confidence.

“Your chant is the noise you make so you cannot hear the sirens.”

It’s all so sad

We grew up on you. Your movies. Your music. Your moon landing. Half of Australia learned to dream in an American accent. You were the mate with the big house and the loud laugh, and we loved coming over.

Now we visit, and the roof leaks, the kids are doing active shooter drills between maths and little lunch, Grandpa is rationing his insulin like it is wartime butter, and the waitress needs a twenty five percent tip because you decided wages were communism. It is not funny anymore, mate.

“It is a dog’s breakfast with better fireworks.”

So this year we got you the only present that might actually help. A mirror.

Have a proper look. Past the flag. Past Hollywood. Look at the tent cities. The hospital bills. The veterans under the bridges. The kid doing homework in the back seat of the family home. Then ask yourself one question. Greatest country on Earth? Or just the loudest galah in the cage?

Happy birthday anyway. Enjoy the cake. Go easy on the candles though. At your hospitals, the price of a singed eyebrow is a second mortgage.

Keep the mirror. We’re not perfect, either, but you need it more than we do.

Love, Australia

P.S. Yeah nah. Greenland is not the poorly run one. It has free universal healthcare.

Oh look, another wannabe euro trash Aussie, chimes in! C’mon Sunshine, use your words, instead of copy and pasting a wall of text.

Wow, spoken like a true DSA minion.

Close the laptop and buy a plane ticket.

Or... ask the thousands of world cup soccer fans that did just that.

Or... ask the foreigner's who've come to our nation legally, took advantage of our capitalist society, and become successful entrepreneurs. 

Not to mention those of us who chose to make proper decisions during our school yrs, developed viable job skills, and have turned it into a very comfortable lifestyle.

No doubt, bad decisions create people who have been left behind. That's on them. There's opportunity for change, and countless facilities to help.

Many refuse to accept it.

 

But hey, keep believing the shit in your "links", and cable news outlets.

They have you right where they want you.

Real honest, I don’t give a proper shit about what a wannabe Euro Trash Aussie has to say, about shit dealing with our Nation. It’s one of those, kind of mind your own fucking business things. You live in an ex penal colony, current police state. Go fix your own fucked up country before you question ours. 

ANZUS treaty of 1951, the United States has been protecting Oz from China. How long could you keep the wolves at bay without the United States? 

Oh, I don’t believe anything I hear and only half of what I see.

I’ve been going to America for the past 20 years. I have family that live there. Do I want to go back? Nah. Plenty of other places to visit. The corporate greed is what has destroyed America more than anything, and it’s destroying us down here as well. 
Do you have anything other than TDS Joey? Or is that it for you? Seems rather played out to label everyone TDS, who doesn’t bow down to your cult leader.

Red card. A birthday message from Australia to America

(by Andrew Brown, Michael West Media)


 

Dear America,

Happy 250th, mate.

Quarter of a millennium. Massive effort. Not many countries make it that far, and fewer still make it that far while holding a national debate about whether children deserve lunch.

You started with liberty. Then democracy. Then somewhere in the third act you flogged the lot to a private equity firm and kept the merchandise rights. Now you are three corporations in a trench coat, standing on an aircraft carrier,

“screaming about freedom at a bloke who cannot afford an ambulance.”

Fair dinkum, your star-spangled greatness is an abject failure. It is swinging like a dunny-door in a cyclone. Still attached. Still banging away. Not actually keeping anything out.

You sell insulin like it is vintage Grange. You make dying people sit on hold before they are allowed to argue with death. You charge a woman for holding her own baby after giving birth to it. Skin-to-skin contact. Line item. Invoice attached.

Mate, we would not charge you to pat a dog at Bunnings.

You have blokes sleeping in the supermarket car park before their shift stacking shelves inside. The staff car park. Of the supermarket. Where they work. And your answer to all of it is a bald eagle screeching over a Ford ad.

Illusions of democracy

Every four years someone stands in front of a flag the size of Tasmania and announces this is the greatest country on Earth. At what, cobber? Medical bankruptcy? School shootings? Thoughts and prayers as a national industrial policy? Your minimum wage has been parked so long it should be heritage listed. Yeah nah. That is not a dream. That is a hostage situation with fireworks.

And you cannot even hear any of this, because questioning America is the one thing Americans consider un-American. Land of the free, home of the touchy. Point out the emperor has no clothes and eighty million of you salute the nudity.

Then there is the money. Nearly a trillion a year for the Pentagon while forty percent of your adults cannot cover a surprise bill without flogging something on Facebook Marketplace. You borrow to feed the war machine, then borrow again to pay the interest on the borrowing. That is not an economy. That is a bloke paying off one credit card with another and calling himself an investor.

“Couldn’t run a chook raffle, but sure, run the free world.”

The rich own the future. The poor rent the present. The middle class is being carried out the back like a busted couch on council pickup day.

Fentanyl economy

And then there is the fentanyl. Whole streets folded over like question marks, in the country that put a man on the moon. Your drug companies got millions hooked, made billions, paid a fine and kept the yachts. Overdoses now kill more Americans every single year than the entire Vietnam War did, and the official response is a shrug and a share price. You declared a war on drugs fifty years ago. The drugs won.

“Only war you have ever been honest about losing.”

Speaking of wars. Eight hundred bases. Stealth bombers. Satellites that can spot a goat scratching its nuts in the Hindu Kush. A defence budget that looks like someone fell asleep on the zero key. And you still keep getting your arse handed to you by blokes in sandals.

Have you been to Australia? Or do you get all of your information on Australia off Facebook?

I’m glad to live in Australia, it’s pretty sweet. Do we have problems, absolutely. Or government currently sucks ass. Doesn’t mean I hate anyone who likes them.

Back in the very beginning of the internet, euro butthurt became very apparent. Long before the advent of TDS.

And in the case of this board, aussie butthurt as well.

 

Glued firmly into their seats seething.
