As the world recovers from every newspaper (they still exist, well, barely) front page devoted to our American lust, not to mention, everyone's social media feeds - okay, we get it, life is all about impressing Uncle Sam. Let's turn our focus to the nation that gets no ones attention (Australia), unless of course you're obsessed with animals with pouches. Today is Invasion Day (aka Australia Day) in the arse end of the world, something tells me no front pages outside Australia are devoting even one sentence to this day, such is the hatred towards this convict colony.

JRB all the way (note: 42nd POTUS is 4 years his junior)
The world has a new President, I think by now we all know that those outside the US lose more sleep over its predicament than those within. Case in point: the arse end of the world. During the Jan 6, 2021 shenanigans at the Capitol, the great racist land went into total meltdown, even people walking their dogs were talking about it. To be frank, I might have to leave Australia to get away from the hyperventilation over all things stars and stripes. To calm down conspiracy theorists, no, foreigners didn't cast a vote. You see general elections in any given country are inherently racist, they only allow the citizenry to vote. Long story short: 81,281,502 (as of writing) true patriots voted for the old white codger, Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. (JRB).
