Have it all figured out and you don't even care!go fetch.
I like Australia. But one thing about OZ is your subjects as a mass are not rebellious. You’ve always been a compliant people. For the crown and now for the US. So your chatter is amusing but totally harmless. We’ll trade with you and sell you toys of war…because you serve as fodder for our global empire. That’s a fact. We’re friends and we speak the same language but don’t get confused about the rungs of global stage.
That’s the politics that should be the only concern to you. And there’s nothing you or me can do about it….so yeah….bag on me all you like. It matters not. The USA is your current master.
See there….I have it figured out for you. It doesn’t take 500 pages of slanted political rhetoric to come to this conclusion.
I really really really care
Heel. Sit. Roll over.
Good little dog. Aussie Aussie Assusie oi oi oi
When we want your opinion….we’ll give it to you.
You betcha!

The head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement said he would like the agency to implement a system of trucks that rounds up immigrants for deportation in a system similar to how Amazon delivers packages around the US.
“We need to get better at treating this like a business,” the acting Ice director, Todd Lyons, said. He said that he wanted to see a deportation process “like [Amazon] Prime, but with human beings”. His comments were first reported by the Arizona Mirror.
Lyons was one of a series of Trump administration speakers at the 2025 Border Security Expo at the Phoenix convention center. Other speakers were Trump’s “border czar”, Tom Homan, and the secretary of the US Department of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem.
Speakers at the expo praised Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelans, the 1798 law that was last used during the second world war to intern Japanese Americans. Noem promised to expand on its use to more efficiently deport immigrants. Lyons also called the act “amazing”.
Homan said “that is a law enacted by Congress, and we are using that”, referring to the Alien Enemies Act. At around the time of the expo, the US supreme court ruled that the Trump administration may continue using the law to deport alleged gang members.
Homan added that it “bothers him” when judges attempt to prevent him from using the act. He also said that family detention was still “on the table” as a policy.
Lyons also spoke highly of other new technology being potentially implemented in the deportation process. He expressed hopes that the agency could utilize artificial intelligence to “free up bed space” and “fill up airplanes”, allowing Ice to deport immigrants at a quicker pace.
The Ice director also said that he has been working with Elon Musk’s “department of government efficiency” (Doge) for access to social security numbers to look for “voter fraud”.
Several speakers, Homan included, echoed the opinion of having a deportation system that is run like a business, with assurance that the Trump administration is depending on the private sector for completion of its mass deportation agenda. Many representatives from the military-industrial complex were in attendance.
“Let the badge and guns do the badge-and-gun stuff. Everything else, let’s contract out,” Homan said.
Trump campaigned heavily on implementing a system of mass deportation, and has spent his presidency so far attempting to deliver on his campaign promises. Data suggests as many as 1,400 people were arrested during or right after Ice check-ins in the first four weeks of his administration.
One of Trump’s first actions after he was sworn in for his second term was to broaden Ice’s mandate. Now all immigrants without legal status are prioritized for arrest, including those who have been checking in and cooperating with authorities.
“Ice’s fantasy of becoming ‘Amazon Prime for deportations’ exposes the infrastructure behind Trump’s deportation agenda: mass removals powered by big tech and data,” Cinthya Rodriguez, national organizer for the Latinx advocacy group Mijente, said. “Over the years, Ice has contracted with tech companies to automate policing, relying on the dehumanization of immigrant communities.
“To seek to automate deportations at Amazon-like speed only furthers that harm,” she added “These policies are cruel, reckless and driven by white supremacy and greed – not safety.”
Avelo Airlines recently said it had signed an agreement to fly federal deportation flights for the administration from Mesa, Arizona, beginning in May. Several thousand people signed a petition urging the airline to halt plans to carry out the deportation flights.
The mass deportations and ongoing cases of people being detained by Ice has caused unease and fear among immigrants and foreign visitors to the US. Recent data suggests that flight bookings between Canada and the US are down by over 70%.

No, President Trump, the Income Tax Wasn’t A Mistake. But It Was an Accident.
While instituting the largest tariff increase in modern history, Trump claimed that the income tax was passed for “reasons unknown to mankind” and caused the Great Depression.Here’s the real history.

There is our very real history, and then there is the history our leaders would have us believe.
