Trump directs ICE to expand deportations in Democratic-run cities, undeterred by protests. An AP Alert. Trump obviously hates the word "democratic" but loves the word "king." It’s ironic that he belongs to the party of Lincoln, a Whig and then a Republican. Shame on the toadies that follow him.

Israel has been given approval for its attack on a country where there was no evidence of aggression at that time, under what is now the sycophantic excuse of the right to defend itself. Now, can China attack Taiwan, India attack Pakistan, and was Russia justified? I hear the creaking gates of hell

In The Guardian today. Wong says she urged Iranian foreign minister to ‘exercise restraint.’ FFS, Israel attacked. Where’s Iran’s right to defend itself? Is that right, only afforded to Israel? I think I need to stop reading for what little sanity I have.

Saw a video of the grand parade. I noticed the crowd wore a red shirt.

Saw a picture of Trump saluting the losers. He may not call them losers now, but if he is true to form, if the poor bastards get killed, wounded, or captured, he will.

I’m watching a disappointing game of cricket at the moment. I had to turn the sound off. I had always thought that the bloody poms were the most biassed and self-opinionated commentators, which is understandable as they invented a game they can’t play. Seth Efikans beat them hands down.

I must have missed the news on day two. How did all those day one promises work out for Trump?

Trump said Israel shouldn't attack. Israel attacks. Trump says he knew all about it, which is giving tacit approval. I think it can be concluded that Netanyahu ignores Trump, Trump lied at least once, and the world is on the brink of war. Trump will get away with it, but they crucified Chamberlain.

At the risk of oversimplification. I thought there seemed to be a common personality fault in many that seek power and fame. It reappeared when I read “Republican in South Carolina arrested over distribution of child sexual abuse material”.

Linda Reynolds ‘bitterly disappointed’ by Nacc findings over Brittany Higgins payout. And rightly so. Payouts are the exclusive right of LNP MPs, senators, and LNP party officials. The Higgins’ payout goes against the natural order. Australia could go broke at this rate.

To the lovely Americans who are facing the doom of Medicaid. I am currently in a public hospital bed in Victoria, Australia, after having a successful operation to fix an arterial aneurysm. It is a private room, and the cost to me is zero dollars in total. Stay healthy, please.

I was watching The Daily Show here in Australia when a bottom crawler named Stephen Miller came on. What a disgusting excuse for a human being. He makes Joseph Goebbels look like Mother Teresa.

America is doing a Pontius Pilate on the Palestinians. Throw that in with the defunding of medical research and the way it's treating foreigners, etc. it's fast becoming a country with no soul.

In today's The Guardian, Gaby Hinliff wrote, Suddenly, the idea that this presidency could ultimately end in civil conflict no longer seems quite so wildly overblown as it once did. Trump promised a civil war if he lost; he misspoke; he should've said if he won. Is the U.S. a democracy no more?

Trump threatens Musk with consequences if he helps Democrats. Does he know in a democracy you can vote for anyone you like without coercion, or is democracy a foreign word to him? It does seem he knows the meaning of blackmail, though.

Can someone please explain to me how Israel knows where Lebanese underground drone factories are and where Hamas operatives live and when they are travelling and by what means but haven't been able to find the hostages? Then explain why the genocide has fallen off Bluesky.

Netanyahu defends arming criminal gangs. It seems these gangs have been raiding food supplies. This was the excuse Israel bombed and shot countless Palestinians because Hamas was blamed. I then saw a picture of an Israeli with the sign "Where is Israel's humanity" in the same place as its morals.

I don't know what American politicians are like. If they're all as vindictive as TACO I'd be worried if I were in the GOP. His crusade against Biden could start a tit for tat, with the Democrats repaying the compliment by investigating the previous government and president with every change.

We act in self-defence to ensure peace. Is the mantra. At least six school buildings have been struck, reportedly killing more than 120 people, in recent months as part of a targeting effort by the Israeli military. The Guardian. “Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.” – George Carlin

Doesn't Jared Isaacman have enough convictions to be included in the Black House inner circle.

The government here in Australia and America wishes to lower tax rates. It will encourage investment, supposedly. Not an economist, yet it seems we boomed after 1945. People could buy a house, and unemployment was low. From what I can find, the top tax rates were higher than 80%. What am I missing?

I just read the American DOJ has vowed loyalty to the President. Does that mean those in the DOJ will favour the President over the law of the land? If true, it's very odd. But it is today's America.
