It's certainly the worst Australian election campaign by an opposition party in the 30 years ive lived in this country. There was never a prospect of the Liberal party being elected, but no one predicted how bad this campaign would be. Constant missteps, zero policies, wildly unpopular MAGA worship, a leader who seems like he barely speaks to his own troops and the impression they all woke up on the day of the exam having never studied the subject.

The landmark British TV series shines a light on the online forces shaping young minds and turning young boys into misogynists, but it stops short of offering any solutions to an apparently unsolvable problem. Here I try to do just that.

With the combined impacts of the totalitarian chaos inside America, the tariffs and Trumps continual abuse of longstanding allies, for the first time in maybe seventy years, countries are starting to cut the apron strings from the United States. Both economically and militarily - the World is waking up to a World without America.

One positive about Trump, if not for America, then certainly for the rest of the western world, is it has seen a massive swing towards left-leaning parties and away from right. Canada has seen a 27 point lead for the right disappear to 2 in under 3 months. No one in other countries wants to elect anyone remotely like him.

I posted a similar piece last year, when Elon Musk threw his weight and his wealth into the ring for Donald Trump. I was very wrong, as Trump won, and for a brief shining moment, it looked as though this obnoxious try hard really was king of the world. Ironically, Trump winning will end up costing Musk twice as much.

There's a big mistake people are making in calling Elon Musk president and claiming Trump is his B$tch. Trump, the most disloyal human bieng perhaps ever born, is simply and ruthlessly using Musk, not only for his money, but to "flood the zone". He will sit back, fleece him dry, let him help dominate the news cycle, then cast him adrift without a thought - just as he has done his whole life. Trump is king here, Musk is just his court jester.

If he benefited from insider trading, yes. The Australian want-to-be prime minister bought shares in the big four banks, in 2009, at the height of the global financial crisis, after not buying any in the preceding three years. He promptly sold the shares under two weeks later after the Labor government announced a massive bank bail out, sending the shares rocketing in value. He's alleged to have been briefed on the impending bailout before it happened. We need to know.

So how IS that multi-decade 400 billion dollar Australian defense pact with America looking today? I must admit, I thought World War 3 was inevitable, I just didn't think America would be on the other side. What will Trump demand over this? Australian mineral resources? Nuclear missile bases in Darwin? Perhaps even scarier is Five Eyes, the hugely secretive intelligence alliance between America, the UK, Aus, NZ and Canada - sharing our most top secret intelligence and assets with an ally of Putin.
