America Was Slow To Take Action Around Climate Change

The Trump regime is rolling back regulation designed to protect public health and limit the warming of the planetary atmosphere. America was slow to take action around climate change in the first place and this reversal is a dangerous and irresponsible action. This backward thinking by Donald Trump is further evidence of his unsuitability for leadership in the 21C. Scientific consensus regarding climate change is unanimous and has been for decades. This wilful disregard for the reality is a crime against humanity. To do this in a bid to prolong a US car industry which has been outmanoeuvred by China tells the world a lot about America.Continue Reading

Trump’s ICE A Threat To Democracy

If you have ICE, already, targeting brown skinned Americans in Democrat cities, then the next obvious step for the Trump regime will be to do this during elections. American citizens have been beaten up and detained illegally by ICE. If you don’t realise that this will be a huge deterrent to voting for these Americans you are a fool. How would you feel about the possibility of being grabbed off the street and taken away to be locked up in some concentration camp facility wherever? The United States is in the grip of an authoritarian regime committing lawless acts every day. ICE is a paramilitary force targeting brown skinned Americans and progressives. Trump’s ICE a threat to democracy.Continue Reading

Under Trump The South Rides Again

Much of what President Donald Trump is doing is not new in United States’ terms. Indeed, you can categorise it as another chapter in the South vs North civil war. Remember what flags flew in the hands of the January 6 violent protesters as they broke into the Capitol. The stars and bars were proudly displayed numerous times on that day. Under Trump the South rides again. Armed militia claiming to be patriots smashed up property and bashed in the heads of police protecting Congress. The Trump revisionism of that day cannot truly hide the scars and deaths incurred on that rebellious occasion. Presidential pardons cannot rewrite history, no matter the lies and bluster.Continue Reading

Albanese Is In Appeasement Mode

In politics you are either moving forward or trending downward. PM Anthony Albanese, the surprise success story of the last few years, has seemingly stopped reaching for progressive momentum. His Labor government has the largest federal parliamentary advantage in Australian history. Indications are that his government is more about defending the status quo than actively making things better downunder. The trouble with thinking that you are representing more people is that you get into appeasement mode. Governments and their politicians begin to make their priority staying in the job rather than pushing for change. Albanese is in appeasement mode, it seems.Continue Reading

Murderous Trump Regime Kills American Mother

How would you describe an ICE agent who shoots an unarmed woman in the face repeatedly? Gutless, coward, lowlife scum would be some of the terms I would you to describe such an individual. Murderous Trump regime kills American mother. Not only was she an unarmed woman but an American citizen too. What kind of out of control operation is the Trump regime running? Untrained, incompetent and murderously unbalanced. These extremists are killing Americans completely unnecessarily. A properly trained force would not operate in such a manner. These ICE agents should be locked up and incarcerated for their murderous and violent rampages.Continue Reading

Trump’s America Wants To See 5 YRS Of Your Social Media

You can visit China or Russia and not have such an imposition put upon you at the border by customs agents. Trump’s America wants to see 5YRS of your social media if you are an Australian. Hey, I thought that we were allies and that AUKUS was full steam ahead? The USA is now an authoritarian police state, with masked ICE thugs beating up on brown skinned Americans. It is not business as usual folks! White supremacists are running the White House. Now, I get the true meaning of that name!Continue Reading

The American Minimum Hourly Rate Disgrace

The US federal minimum hourly rate of $7.25 has not changed since 2009. That is 16 years; and have a think about how much stuff has gone up in that period. In Australia, the equivalent wage rate is $24.95. Even, with the dollar exchange rate factored in it is more than double. What kind of ‘so-called’ democracy gets away with exploitative shit like this? This is why many American families need food stamps (SNAP) and other forms of welfare because they allow greedy f****** employers to take advantage of vulnerable people. It is such a f***** up country that they look up to a king sized grifter like Donald Trump. The American minimum hourly rate disgrace.Continue Reading

5 Reasons Why Toxic Masculinity Is A Real Problem?

Don’t get defensive about this statement or I will punch your head in. 5 reasons why toxic masculinity is a real problem? Seriously though folks, it is, because it doesn’t just occur on the personal level it impacts across the whole spectrum. Vladimir Putin displays toxic masculinity via his actions invading Ukraine as the leader of Russia. The behaviour of the Russian President can only be described as toxic masculinity. Taking what you want violently against the wishes of another, when you know full well it is not yours to take.Continue Reading

A Generation Of Australians Have Grown Up Weak believing in US might

Baby Boomers have grown up under the misapprehension that the United States of America was there for us. A generation of Australians have grown up weak on this basis. When exactly has the US come to our aid since WW2? The answer is never. On the other hand, how many times has Australia answered the call from America? Korea, Vietnam, The Gulf War, Afghanistan, Iraq and Pine Gap of course. Australians have learned to see our subsidiary role to the US as payment in advance for any serious threat upon our shores. ANZUS was invoked after 9/11 and for the invasion of Afghanistan.Continue Reading

Trump Always Picks On Soft Targets

Have you noticed that Donald Trump always picks on soft targets. Trump has sent in a huge naval aircraft carrier to threaten Venezuela with, after illegally blowing up Venezuelan speedboats in international waters. Yes, he claims they are drug smugglers but no evidence has been provided to prove it. Trump is trash talking Canada and applying onerous tariffs in defiance of a free trade agreement he signed with them. Canadians are notoriously known as nice people throughout the world. The Trump regime’s ICE agents are heavily armed. These masked bullies are beating up on immigrants and Americans with brown skin.Continue Reading
