You think tobacco taxes are high here in the U.S.?????? Check out Australia.........

Cigarettes Are Expensive In Australia
The Australian government wanted to control the consumption of cigarettes in the country and the increased taxes meant the average packet started to cost $35 by 2019.
It is expected that the price of a pack of cigarette will reach $40 in 2020 and it will cost an average smoker about $10,000 a year.

When I was there in 2015, a pack cost around $15 if I remember correctly. I don't smoke but a coworker did. Their cigarette packs are also black in color with pictures of dead people on them, as in actual morgue photos, who died from smoking related diseases. They do everything possible to discourage it and there is a clear demarcation between younger and older folks who smoke. 

What's funny is they won't outright ban it. Most likely because they make too much tax revenue from the smokers.

If Fetterman runs for re-election, I predict it will be as an independent or Republican if...IF the Democrats don't move away from the fringes in the next few years. Hopefully the Dems have a sanity check soon and start representing the center again.

This gal has been providing all kinds of insight to the sheer (and secretive) incompetence of the Biden admin and the DNC. She even described the movement within the party to support obvious loser Kamala Harris, once meat puppet was forced out, as "drunk on delusion". 

https://www.newsnationnow.com/politics/b...-lindy-li/

A Democratic National Committee finance committee member told NewsNation Sunday she received a “friendly threat” from the White House before publicly discussing President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline.

Lindy Li, who had raised millions for Biden’s campaign, said on “NewsNation Prime,” that a White House official called her the night before her scheduled appearance on Fox News Sunday in July.

According to Li, the official told her, “You’re one of the President’s most loyal supporters. We know you’re going to stay loyal.”

“It was the friendliest threat possible,” Li said, comparing the exchange to dialogues from “The Sopranos” and “The Godfather.”...

The Trump effect on the World Stage.......

NATO leaders predict era of 2% defense spending 'probably history' as Trump reportedly floats higher target
Report claims Trump wants all NATO nations to increase spending commitments from 2% GDP to 5%

A group of four NATO leaders and a representative from the European Union on Sunday said they agreed it was time to invest more in defense spending as Russia remains a chief security threat in Europe amid the war in Ukraine, and as Western leaders brace for the incoming Trump administration.

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis argued the era of spending 2% of a nation’s GDP on defense was "probably history" but he, along with the other four leaders in attendance at the North-South Summit in Lapland, Finland fell short of saying what that figure should look like.

"We know that we need to spend more than 2%," Mitsotakis said. "But it will become very clear… once we interact with the new president, what is the figure that we will agree on within NATO."

This'll be interesting as the US hasn't spent 5% of GDP on defense since Skin in 1992.

Forget the news. Trust your own ears and eyes.  It was clear to anyone that Biden's brain was mush.  Ask yourself why the MSM was so intent on lying to the public?  Calling actually footage cheapfakes.

Days before President Trump's FIRST inauguration in 2017, Anthony Fauci predicted (with confident certainty) a "pandemic" prior to the end of Trump's term.
Mark my words: Some equivalent is in the works now. I guarantee it. We are dealing with unchecked, and still unaccountable evil. There is nothing they are not capable of. Be ready. It will probably not be another wildly exaggerated pandemic. We cannot possibly guess what it will be. But it will come.
The price of liberty is eternal vigilance. Be ready.

Another half-million jobs reported under Biden turn out to be phantom!

The Philly Fed's recent findings reveal that Q2 job growth was actually negative, with all reported gains set for revision in 2025. This follows an alarming downward revision of 800,000 jobs from last year.

 Stay tuned for January’s nonfarm payrolls—more adjustments on the way!
