This never used to be a problem in Australia. Just more signs of our descent into a 3rd world country.
I was impressed with Trump's press secretary Karoline Leavitt and so I googled her only to be more impressed by her because there is a 32 year age gap between her and her husband. She popped out a kid for him too. Pretty cool and gives a bit of hope to us older dudes staying put in America. It must take a serious chad though to score a beautiful 27 year old American blond with no tats who apparently had never dated before (virgin?). It also probably helped his courting efforts when he donated a million dollars plus to her US House of Representitives campaign.
I think being rich is a big help in getting a much younger wife.

Why is it that in the US, there are like 9-10 companies who dominate the airwaves with their commercials?
So sick of seeing ads for Liberty Mutual, Geico, and others over and over again. I don't know how that system works but I seem to remember in the past, you'd see a lot of other companies advertising on TV. Now, that pool of advertisers has seem to shrunk.

I think it's just because no one under the age of 30 even watches TV anymore. Advertising is all online now, because that's where the people are.
The worst are the pharmaceutical commercials, especially for hiv. We live in degenerate times.
Promote unhealthy lives and get all the goyim on unnecessary pills.

Unrelated to that but the Egyptians crack me up when it comes to all that stuff. Tourist season is coming up and right on cue they made some new crazy discovery, apparently they "just found" a tunnel network under the pyramids.....book your flight and hotel now!

OK, so I have to post this, even though it may seem very random and weird, but please, bear with me...
I have a question, directed mainly to American Evangelical Protestants...about a very weird 'religious' word I heard many years ago.
I have no idea how it's spelled, but I would spell it "hatamashada"
Growing up, I had a really wierdo American (ex)stepdad. He told me once when he was a no-good drifter in is 20's and 30's about how he drifted around the USA.
He mentioned how he briefly fell in with some weirdo charismatic evangelical church during his wanderings. He said that they would often chant this word...which sounded like "Hatamashada, Hatamashada!"
He eventually abandoned my mother and I in the mid-90's and went back to the USA (the best favour he ever did us) and I long forgot about it.
Many years later, I was watching a rerun of the TV show COPS. It was a domestic disturbance call and the cops rolled up to a house with an older Negro woman. They originally thought it might have been a domestic dispute, but they just found her in some kind of religious mania. She was in the kitchen with her arms flailing in the air and yelling "Give me the victory, Lord!" and "Hatamashada! Hatamashada!" multiple times.
This shocked me, as I'd only heard it once before, more than 10 years before. I had always thought my (ex)stepdad was a whack-job...but it seems that he didn't make this up.
So has anybody (especially Evangelical Americans) ever heard this word? HATAMASHADA! HATAMASHADA! And if so, do you know what it means?

So @FrancisK , I'll take that as a 'NO'? I know it's really weird but it just popped back into my head after so many years...

Could it be ‘Hamashiac’ which is Hebrew for Messiah? Some denominations say Yeshua Hamashiac instead of saying Jesus the Messiah.
Hakuna Matata?
In pentecostal churches, they practice speaking in tongues, which they say is a heavenly language given to them by the Holy Spirit. Some say that another person should always give the translation, which also comes as a direct inspiration by the Holy Spirit. Non pentecostals reject this kind of speaking in tongues, and say it is just ecstatic gibberish.
Anyway, there are certain strings of syllables that often are included when someone speaks in tongues, and your word is one of them.
Most of these pentecostals who "speak in tongues" are charlatans and kooks spouting gibberish, but a good amount are actually literally posessed and unknowingly spouting blasphemies in languages they don't know.

I was involved for a short while myself. Never heard so many people looking for scooby doo in all my life.
I think @Thomas More is on the right track. Ran into some pentecostals years ago and that word/phrase is a common one (among others) that gets repeated quite liberally during their "speaking/praying in tongues".
Also, 10/10 would not recommend getting involved with a Charismatic evangelical church girl, unless she is willing to follow you to something with more depth. Most of those services are all about feelings and emotions, so very few manly men but that does mean there are lots of available single women...
My money's on this one. Yeshua Hamashiach is simply the Hebrew way of saying Jesus Christ. People say it honorifically and to underscore the consistency between the Old and the New Testament.
