A famous victory

They said I'm going to start wars – I'm going to end wars.

Senior Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri said on Wednesday that Donald Trump will be tested on his statements that he can stop the war within hours.


Any objective observer could see Kamala was unqualified for the job. Even Kamala at times, behind the cackle laugh and the word salads and the baffling array of accents, seemed to know she wasn’t up to it.

But they pressed ahead with her anyway. In the end, it didn’t seem to matter to the virtue signalling Left that Kamala’s position had been achieved by chance to a greater extent than anyone since Lyndon Johnson. That, a diversity hire for VP, she was able to fall into the presidency slot because Joe Biden needed to be put out to pasture with no time for a contest.

...“Whomever I pick [for Vice President],” proclaimed Joe Biden in an embarrassing display of performative allyship, “preferably it will be someone who was of a colour and/or different gender”. That was in 2019. Five years later, the American people have roundly rejected this progressive creed.

There is reason for hope.
Trump has at least the animal intelligence to realize that American hegemony is threatened by one country, and one country only - and that country is certainly not Russia.
To have promoted a No-limits alliance between Russia and the rising global power China was a spectacular own-goal. Worse than a crime, a mistake.

A big part of the political punditry and reporting class needs to just be replaced. These people thought that a comedian telling a bad joke at a campaign rally was more important to million of Latino voters than wages and prices. They just live on a different planet. Not earth.

Canberra’s ambassador to the US said he was “looking forward” to working with Donald Trump despite calling him “destructive” and a “traitor”, while the Australian prime minister spoke for the first time with the president-elect who he said “scares the s---t out” of him.

Kevin Rudd, the Australian ambassador to the US, and Anthony Albanese, Australia’s prime minister, on Thursday became the latest in a list of high-profile figures to distance themselves from disparaging remarks made about Trump.

The ambassador’s office scrubbed posts from his social media and website to “eliminate the possibility of such comments being misconstrued”.
