Gun buyback gets state blowback, Nigerian Prince Scam, Opting Out Of Fixing Gambling

As the Iran war continues, Trump has said he doesn't even know if they've won the war because he views the Strait of Hormuz as American territory, which actually makes a lot of sense to me.

I don't know if you've seen the news recently, but in the last year and a bit, Trump has started more wars with US cities than he has with foreign countries.

Though, he certainly has tried.

Gotta give him credit where credit's due, I guess.

I'm shocked that he hasn't sent the military in to kidnap a blue state governor yet.

Because that is his new favourite move in order to settle one of these pseudo-wars.

Although he wouldn't call them that.

Certainly wouldn't.

Trump has been on a bit of a renaming spree.

And look.

Americans.

I think at this point, at least for this particular one, you should be embracing this delusion and allowing him to think that he can rename the Strait of Hormuz and make it a new territory.

Because knowing Trump, well, he will eventually start to deploy ICE agents there because they didn't vote for him.

They're not a Republican state.

And once he sends all the ICE agents there, then you won't have to deal with their shit anymore as they will be out of the country.

Speaking of US territories, the US military's presence in Australia is set to grow further, with the Defence Minister flagging upcoming announcements on a greater US force posture on Australian soil.

Expanded military presence means the U.S. is looking to declare Darwin as a U.S. territory and then go and rename it something shit like, I don't know, the desert of America or nothing to see here.

You know, pretty standard Trump behavior at this point.

Turns out the U.S. wanted to expand its military presence in Darwin after they heard there was just a bunch of brown people there trying to live their lives.

And as Trump has decided that he will rename the Strait of Hormuz it means American imperialism has reached its weird new renaming bodies of water out of spite era.

It's always a good sign when an empire is desperately trying to stamp its name all over the world so that people will remember them in some sort of distant future where they might not exist anymore.

While it seems like Trump renaming the Strait of Hormuz after himself is an act of arrogance, I will say, much like the man himself, it is currently causing the world a lot of anxiety.

So it actually makes sense to name it after him.

The Coalition has proposed new federal laws that could make flag burning illegal in Australia.

leading up to 12 months in jail.
