Dear vexxedjeff….perhaps you should consider to….

Should be interesting to see which way the country goes….
To see the fruit of this new presidency (good or bad) and not the media and you tube dribble.

Well optimistic optimist ,
Musk and Trump have already nearly shut down the government just before Christmas
To try and get the debt ceiling raised
$5 trillion,so Trump can give tax cuts to the billionaires oligarchy, , who helped him win the election.
Trump also picked an accused pedophile , no experience Matt Gaetz ,
Who pulled out because he realised the Republican senators, wouldn’t confirm him,
Not too mention the other picks
And Musk just fired 2000 Tea workers to replace them with h-b1 immigrants.
Not to mention Musk just referring to
Trump voters as retards ,
And Trump threatening to invade Panama, Canada , Greenland and Mexico
So how long do you need to wait to see there’s something unormal about this government to be?
If this is all wonderful For you
I don’t think you really get it
Maybe Musk was right, with his insults , but don’t take my word for it.

American here. I only hold a few things against Australians, but Rupert Murdoch leads the way. As he has literally made billions from the US market, I'd say he knows a thing or two about Americans, generally speaking. As you may know, he said of one of his top money makers, Sean Hannity, "He's retarded, like most Americans." (I'd point out that I'm not a fan of that term, as I devote quite a bit of time to Special Olympics. I'm also not triggered by the term.)
Are Americans stupid? No. Are they, by and large, uncurious? Yes. Fixated on the trivial and mundane? Yes. Conspiritorial? Yep. Likely to believe that 4000 or so years ago, all animals and humans perished if they weren't on Noah's ark? Affirmative.
Racist? That's a tough one to answer. Many are, to be sure, but I know many Trump supporters who aren't.
IMO, Trump and Musk are sadists, first and foremost, but there are times that racism serves as a means to the end of inflicting as much pain as possible on as many as possible.

On the surf , the onshore has kicked right in so I decided to continue fishing . Hopefully Craig has some good news in his notes today as Wednesday Thursday could be good . I understand I’m a dummy and need Craigs help where as you simply look at the cams . Must be a real gift to look at cams and know what surf is doing in 7 days time , at a spot 1000 klms away .

Thanks for insight Mick
Rupert Murdoch really is a twisted evil cancer on humanity who will hopefully leave this planet soon. He has caused so much damage to you guys, here in Oz and the UK.
Feel we would be living in a lot better world if it was not for him and his media empire.
Granted he doesn't have the power he once did, but I would argue MAGA, Tea Party etc, never mind a number of ME wars, would never have happened if not for FOX news and his papers.
He has done horrible damage to Australia, but not the place or time to go into that here.

Most Americans I have met and been mates with are super generous great people. Not racist generally, no more than Australians anyway. Worked for company dealing primarily with Americans so met many over the years. Granted most were from the West or East Coast.
I have even a couple of pretty good mates who are Jewish seppos from my Bali days which @indo would point out is impossible as he continually infers I am antisemitic.

It's like the USA is now one of those cartoons with a devil at one shoulder and an angel on the other, but unfortunately the devil is presently winning.

All the best..

Except that the White House already confirmed the security breach happened , before Hegseth decided to deny it,
Even Foxes Chief Political Analyst Brett Humes said
“Oh for gods sake , the administration has already confirmed the authenticity of the message.”

“Treason”, you say?

It’s deeply disturbing to consider, as a US ally, that an administration might leak details of your operational plans. Yes. The previous admin had done this with both Israel and Ukraine. The current admin has almost definitely done it with Ukraine, to Russia.

But it’s not treason.

Sharing operational plans via mobile app to a group that hasn’t been validated isn’t treason either. It’s just fucking stupid.

“Treason” is refusing to accept the results of an election and inciting a violent mob to attempt to prevent the certification of said outcome.

You’ve got your nouns mixed up Indo. Definitely one-eyed commentary.

The plan is Americas isolationism, and maybe
the authorities assume that overseas visitors aren’t glued to Fox News like half of American dumbos , and therefore have more accurate information. ?
Therefore discouraging over seas visitors .
None of this has anything to do with business or “ looking after the tourism industry “
It’s about a selfish power and money grab,

Just make sure your visa is in order,and don’t over stay, or you might end up with a free trip to El Salvador, unlikely though.
