This announcement is excellent and could win the Australian election for Albanese Labor. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

If Trump/Musk cut off Ukraine's Starlink, that will prove Trump/Musk are allies of Putin and enemies of freedom and democracy.

If Jesus Christ came to Trump's America he would be arrested as an undocumented immigrant refugee, handcuffed, abused, separated from his family and deported to Gaza to be bombed by Israel. That's how low the USA has sunk. The Statue of Liberty must be teary as 'the huddled masses' are persecuted.

This is Trump's America. Shocking! azluminaria.org/2025/02/16/v...

We should bring home these Aussie women and children. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

If planes keep crashing under Trump, maybe his slogan should be MADA: Making Americans Drive Again. 😃

If you actually wanted to reduce fraud and waste, you would hire MORE inspectors-general to seek out fraud and waste. Sacking them indicates you want MORE, not less, fraud and waste.

Imagibe a record flood which drowned your two-storey house to the gutters, leaving you and your children clinging to the roof in pouring rain at night, desperate to be rescued. It happened. Read the storey here: open.substack.com/pub/michaels...

Just applied to renew my Aussie passport. It's routine in my case, but I recommend Americans ensure they have a current passport before Trump/Musk decide to freeze renewals to control their opponents. You may need to flee to Canada or Mexico.

Europe, no-one else, must decide the future of Ukraine and Europe. Ukraine should be reinforced to drive out the Russian invaders. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Europe, not the USA, must decide the future of Europe. Ukraine's battle-hardened military could drive the Russians back over their borders, but only if the Europeans grow a backbone and use their money and might to reinforce the Ukranians. That would make Trump irrelevant and Putin defeated.

Renewable energy is the way of the future, decentralising the grid and literally giving power back to consumers. Fighting renewables is just protecting monopolies to exploit the public. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

This cartoon is banned on Twitter/X, so let's spread it around.

Putin must be rolling on the floor laughing hilariously at Trump's incompetence as he wrecks the USA's nuclear deterrent. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Respect has to be earned. Trump's behaviour is rapidly destroying any respect he had, which is ebbing out like the tide. Canada, Mexico, Panama, Greenland, Europe, Ukraine, even the MAGAs. He is making enemies everywhere. The empire is failing.

Zelensky is right. Trump has made the USA an unreliable ally. Europe must arm itself to drive out the Russians, even if Trump betrays them to Putin. Europe, not Trump, must decide Europe's future.

If Jesus and his family appeared in the USA today,they would be arrested as undocumented refugee immigrants, handcuffed, Jesus would probably be separated from his parents and flown to Gaza, to be bombed by Israel.

Is Trump's America becoming similar to Russia and China? Is the USA now an unreliable ally? I discuss this here: open.substack.com/pub/michaels...

This administration is way worse than the first one. COME ON METOR (in 2029)

China is winning as Trump's bullying tariffs turn away South American countries, who will just bypass the USA. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I see five planes have now crashed since Trump promised removing DEI programs would make aviation safer. That's going well then ...

If Trump puts a 25% tariff on Australian steel to be used to build American Virginia-class submarines in America, then Australia should just cancel the whole US deal and take our $3b to the UK to accelerate the program to build the superior Astute class sub in the UK and Australia. Boycott the US.

What grand sweeping changes have the Crisafulli LNP made to improve healthcare in their first 100 days in office in Queensland? They wasted $200k changing the names of 16 hospitals. That's it. After claiming a 'crisis' in healthcare, they just changed some signs. Useless!

Just deactivated my X account. Good riddance! On the mobile ap, click on your account pic, go to 'settings and privacy', select 'your account', go down to 'deactivate' and click, enter password and it's done.

The LNP opposes capping gas prices, opposes public housing, supports raising the cost of medicines, opposes renewables, wants to raise student debt etc. Why would anyone vote for that?

Hope my American friends have prepared to leave the USA if necessary. Passports must have more than 6 months to expire to enter some countries. Store a hefty sum of cash. Open a foreign bank account. Apply for an entry visa to a country of choice, such as Canada, then delay entry if necessary.

This is shocking. People are dying while Trump plays silly games with their lives. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Is President Musk actually an American citizen, or merely a resident? Some say yes and some no. What's the truth? Anyone know?

Laura Tingle nails the truth - Dutton doesn't have a plan and voters face a vacuum of information. Dutton really is unfit to govern. Albanese has already carried out most of his plans, except those blocked by Dutton.

Are Christian Nationalists following the teachings of Jesus? I don't think so. Read why: open.substack.com/pub/michaels...

Musk's neo-Nazi behaviour is turning buyers off Tesla, which is cutting 10% of workers.

Trump's dumb 10% China tariff will just accelerate the move of companies to SE Asian countries, not the USA. BYD has already joined most car companies in opening factories in Thailand. Also Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia etc. Most cars sold in Australia are made in Thailand. Crazy!

This is a remarkable insight into remote Australia. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Opposition's ate supposed to present an alternative vision of how to take the nation to the sunny nuplands of national well-being. Instead, what do we get from Peter Dutton? A nuclear fantasy. Denial of reality about the world. Free business lunches. Seriously? Pathetic. Ridiculous. Useless.
