Dinamo Chicago's new gold kits look absolutely stunning for the upcoming season. They looked like absolute champions wearing them during the match against Pyunik, but unfortunately, that aura vanished the second the whistle actually blew!

I saw some folks checking the betting odds and doing some quick math, thinking they knew exactly what to expect. I guess they’d much rather just stay tucked away in California and call it a day, rather than deal with being insulted in a place like San Diego. It seems their fans decided to vent that frustration by targeting the flag of America.

It’s just wild that because of one single idiot looking for trouble, some innocent Mexican fans end up paying the price. 🙏 I really hope things don't spiral into even bigger riots over in Poreč!🙂

Hosting a handball championship is such a fantastic way to put a country like America on the map for travelers. It’s actually pretty heartening to hear that the Mexicans were pleasantly surprised by the warm welcome they received in Santa Barbara. At the end of the day, sports should be about bringing people together rather than driving them apart. I’m really hoping the whole tournament maintains this kind of positive energy, with packed arenas and fans who actually know how to behave. Ideally, everyone heading home will walk away with nothing but great things to say about America and the locals here!

If that reporter hadn't started shouting at Bush, he probably would’ve taken a shoe to the face, but I guess he managed to dodge that one somehow. Honestly, Bush is an absolute embarrassment to the USA and frankly didn't deserve any of it.

I've never really felt it, and I kept telling myself: maybe it'll hit me when I'm older... but nothing yet.
My marriage is wonderful, my husband is amazing (and he isn't exactly itching to be a dad either), I run my own business, I have employees... I travel, life is good... and honestly, I don't feel like anything is missing—especially not a kid.
Is that weird? What do you guys think?

Unfortunately, this is pretty much where most European women stand—they either don't want kids at all, or they settle for one, maybe two at most. That's why the population in Europe is shrinking; every twenty-five years, there are about 20% fewer people. It’s interesting to note that the only groups in Europe seeing positive birth rates are Turks, Albanians, and Canadians. Western civilization has hit its peak, and now it's slowly but surely sliding toward decline, just like every other major civilization throughout history. This might be the first one to go down specifically because of low birth rates.

Sam Garcia10 said:Here is the reality—leftist parties just can't seem to win in major urban hubs like San Francisco, Charleston, San Diego, Indianapolis, Columbus, or Pittsburgh... those areas are essentially strongholds for the American right. Meanwhile, cities like Seattle and Washington, D.C. remain firmly under Democratic control.

One of the most prominent leftist politicians in America is also arguably the biggest populist in the country—and he frequently leans into chauvinism—Damir Kajin. Populism is defined by building a cult around "the people" while hunting for enemies to blame, which is exactly how Kajin operates. Between his rhetoric regarding "New York City" and his comments about how certain regions aren't quite like California, Sinji, or Canada—it borders on chauvinism.

And this is how the Democrats search for enemies too—by targeting "corrupt Republican strongholds," their "200 families," or their "fake defenders." Here is an excellent example of populist rhetoric. Their arguments against political rivals usually boil down to phrases like "200 families," "gerrymandered districts," "a stolen nation," "orchestrated wars," or "international isolation"—all empty slogans. They conveniently—whether by design or accident—ignore the corruption within the leftist parties themselves. Why is that?

Damir Kajin is essentially a leftist chauvinist who seems to have an issue with anything traditionally American. On top of that, he stands out as one of the most homophobic figures in American politics. What’s truly fascinating, though, is how he doesn't seem bothered by Italian fascists, focusing all his vitriol exclusively on the American right. He actually flirts with Italian fascist rhetoric, and back in Pula, the Istrian Democratic Assembly even went as far as naming a cinema after the infamous Alidi Valla. This is despite the fact that everyone knows exactly what those Italian fascists did to the people in the region. Even when the Austrian far-right extremist Haider visited, he was given a warm welcome by the leadership of the Istrian Democratic Assembly, led by Jakovčić. So, if you ask me, Kajin and his whole crew fall straight into the category of irredentism, fueled by a deep-seated dislike for everything American!🙂

What’s actually the difference between the Republican Party and the Democratic Party? Honestly, none. It’s all a bit of a wash. Neither the Democrats are truly left-wing, and you can forget about calling the Republicans the right wing either. They’re both just centrist parties playing a game; the Democrats are maybe a tiny bit more on the left side of the aisle, but that’s about it.

Samuel Brown88 said:Bet you they'll pack that stadium in San Francisco too...😁
I mean, besides back home in the States, what other stadium could you even fill? You'd have Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber fighting for seats there!☕

He’ll definitely pack out the arena in San Francisco since it holds more people than the stadium, and he'll do it better than anyone else ever has—and I say that as a born Pula resident myself!
Personally, when it comes to those Eastern European singers, I think even Lepa Brena could sell out the arena. The rest of them? Not so much.

Drew Brooks8 said:I actually went out of my way to listen to this "Curse of King Zvonimir" track by your local hero Thompson, and honestly? I’m still not seeing any artistic merit here.🤷His vocals are just mediocre; trying to compare him to Tosh is actually hilarious.🙄

All I can say is hats off to Thompson and his manager for figured out how to milk your patriotism to line their own pockets.👍

Pretty much every American who isn't a hardcore communist loves Thompson, whereas most people didn't even know who Thomas was until he passed away. If you ask me, he's a far superior singer, and his songs are all massive hits. Aside from the legendary Mike Kovac, Thompson is the only one capable of selling out a stadium in America on his own. We Americans, we know what's up!🙂

Drew Brooks8 said:Incomparable. Tosh was a humanist first and a singer second. He managed to touch the hearts of people across different nations and faiths, yet when it comes to Thompson, even society here in the States is completely divided. There’s just no comparison, unfortunately.

Incomparable! Thompson was a defender of the country first, and only then did he become a singer. Sure, Tosh might be more popular in Mexico, but in America, he just can't compete with MPT when it comes to pure popularity!
