President Trump 2.0 isn't the problem here.
The Australian Ambassador to the US, Kevin Rudd, is the problem.
He's possibly one of Austraia's most hated men and is absolutely the wrong person to be representing Australia, in the US.

The US court system and law, generally, is an utter joke of epic scale.
Probably the most laughable in the developed world.
Not a lot of people take the US seriously anymore.

Excuse me?
Nobody asked you [the US] to be the world's policeman.
And nobody wants you to be the world's policeman.
You can't even manage domestic affairs let alone fix global affairs.

Tucker Carlson's interview with Vladimir Putin "humanized Putin".
Imagine that!

I think we all know why the FBI failed to investigate and continue to stonewall investigations into Epstein.

I find the uncertainty and flip-flopping of a TikTok ban in the US exposes American hypocrisy at its finest.
Americans seemed upset and angry when Edward Snowden revealed to the world the depth and extent of mass-surveillance on American citizens (and the world).
Yet Americans seem perfectly comfortable having a Chinese spyware app installed on their phone, vacuuming up their personal data and device usage information and sending it to Chinese servers.

Excellent column, by Greg Sheridan.
Details the border crisis and related policy failure of Joe Biden.

Ron DeSantis is a right-wing joke.
The left excessively ban everything.
DeSantis bans everything too, just different things.
Yet both sides think they're better, despite them doing the same thing.
So crazy.

American hypocrisy, on all levels, is being observed by many around the world.
Fact is the hypocrisy has always been present.
It's just that there is more international eyeballs on it now, including eyeballs in China.
But not just from the CCP, but netizens too, through Weibo, as footage of the protests and arrests continues to circulate among Chinese diaspora.

Who knows what the Democrats will do from this point moving forward.
It's become very obvious though, last night's debate was a Democrat-initiated coup designed to kill all hope of Biden leading into a second term.
The Democrats got everything they wanted with the debate, even having it on a Democrat-friendly broadcast network of CNN, a move obviously taken to minimize the fallout.
But it's very telling that when even CNN stated the obvious about Biden's poor performance, all chances of Biden winning a second term, and even continuing to run for a second term, were culled.
But hey, we'll see.
