It is time for meritocracy (over DEI) to make a comeback.
Sanity and common sense has won.
Our Australian national election is in May 2025 and we are dearly hoping for a change of government. Our current leader and his DEI team of Greens is Trudeau on steroids.
We are going bankrupt, our streets are crime-riddled like California, too much of the country is expecting handouts and woke absurdities have ruined so many esteemed organisations and educational institutions. Public trust is at a historical low.
Our fingers are crossed.
Like the US, we are quietly hoping Elon Musk can help us swing the country back to greatness, freedom, prosperity and productivity. We are all ready to work hard and take personal responsibility to protect our way of life and our values.
Ah, The Free Press still going with "the DEIs flocked to Trump in droves" narrative?
I thought I enjoyed the Indian wake-up call with the HB-1 suff.
However, that will pale in comparison to enjoy the look on Latino MAGA faces when "Birthright Citizenship" goes to the Supreme Court and gets ended. And once Stephen Miller gets started, too.
I'm going to love every minute of these next 4 years. :)
"While officials in the U.S. and the two Caribbean islands confirmed no one was injured, the space exploration company has grounded all spacecraft pending the investigation, it said in a statement Friday." This is incorrect. The Falcon 9, which is SpaceX's workhorse rocket, is not grounded, and will be launching tomorrow. Starship, which is still under development, will have a slight delay to their next flight, but launches very rarely as it is (while Falcon 9 launches multiple times a week).
President Biden pardoned five members of his family in his last minutes in office, saying in a statement that he did so not because they did anything wrong but because he feared political attacks from incoming President Donald J. Trump.
Have you ever seen anything like this? FJB. The most corrupt leader in our nation's history.
"Zug says it’s “difficult to think of a more effective demagogue than Donald Trump—if by ‘effective’ we simply mean someone who uses public speech to amass and maintain power. I can’t think of a single politician more adept at evading responsibility, undermining the credibility of his adversaries through ridicule (rather than through reasoned criticism), and recruiting followers into his own simplistic worldview of what America is and should be.”"
Isn't that how politics usually works, regardless of party affiliation? I think the standard is to evade responsibility, ridicule the opposition and simplify topics for the mostly ignorant masses. Come to think of it, the media seems to have adopted those same tactics...
Ethically questionable, legally, who knows? Personally, I find lots of potential positives in many his proposed domestic and int'l initiatives, but still see the huckster, wondering if that's just as much of a scam as Trump's latest business venture to line his pockets at the expense of his followers:
Trump-era monetization has begun (doubt appt'd regulators/SEC etc. will interfere): Trump’s new project is known as a meme coin, a highly volatile sort of token that crypto enthusiasts can buy and sell tied to an online trend or personality. In this case, it’s an image of Trump pumping his fist inspired by the assassination attempt in July. Dubbed $TRUMP, the incoming president fashioned the new offering as a way for his supporters to “celebrate everything we stand for.”But a digital firm affiliated with the Trump organization owns 80 percent of the supply, the project disclosed, and appears to collect a fee on sales. Trump has also promoted the project to his roughly 97 million followers on the social media site X, and on Sunday, he steered followers to a similar meme coin tied to incoming first lady Melania Trump.By Sunday evening, the total value of the $TRUMP project had reached more than $67 billion, according to CoinMarketCap, which tracks crypto prices and computed the figure by estimating the total market capitalization if every coin were in circulation.
Two of the president-elect’s sons, Eric and Donald Jr., described the project this weekend as the “hottest digital meme on earth,” and they promised the Trump family’s separate crypto project — a new token and platform called World Liberty Financial — would be the “future of finance.”
Additionally: Chinese cryptocurrency entrepreneur Justin Sun purchased $30 million in tokens from World Liberty Financial. Sun is under investigation by the SEC.
Presidents may have immunity for their actions relating to their duties while president. Does that apply to a president that has provable mental decline? Does he even know what he did? The answer could be the same one with his LNG incident with the speaker. Joe was not mentally competent to issue any pardons. Or a lot of other actions. I hope someone explores this avenue. Successful or not, the pardoned may find being pardoned isn’t what it is cracked up to be. We might even find out who’s been running the government through Joe!
The pardon for Fauci is especially egregious given his role in securing funding for the Wuhan lab to perform gain of function research, all to circumvent US prohibition on such research. The destruction that work wrought on the world is incalculable.
Any Executive Orders on drug prices, etc.?
Vivek running in OH?....geez, how many "wake-up" calls can this guy take?
Charles Zug is not credible.
Australia is thrilled for the US!
Woke is dead.
NetZero is dead.

Across the world, the people have awoken.
Folks spent $1000s of dollars for flights, hotels, maybe even car rentals for the inauguration....
How are they going to pay for their eggs?!!!

You will love it as a masochist.
Lol. Actually, I won't. I only vote local/state, not POTUSm
Trump had zero effect on my life the first time, the same will happen again.
I'm just going to enjoy the leopards. :) :)

To navigate your ship from point A to point B, you need an up-to-date chart. Using an old chart makes it more likely you will run aground or worse.
Reading the comments here, I see a lot of people navigating not only with an old chart but also without a compass, depth finder and rudder.
Trump's speech was great. Now, get the EO's signed, get the Department heads working and let's get rolling! We've got a country to get back on track.
Let's just relax and refrain from legal festivities, which would be labeled "show trials" by the innoculated MSM.
As we , Central Europeans, said after 1989 "Good living is the best revenge."
If Trump and Co, delivers just half of their promises, that would suffice for several Nobels.
Or as Karine Jean-Pierre would say, several Nobles.
In case you missed it.

Is it true that the Palestinian prisoners who were released were provided with free pagers?
Mossad is so generous
