Three weeks after being horribly injured, Helen Haines' condition has finally been updated to stable. Ms. Haines remains an inpatient, but she is remarkably improved. Good news. 😊

I spent two years working with Stephen Miller.
His appointment as White House chief of staff is among the most dangerous personnel decisions in the history of our republic.
I say that without reservation.

Segal arrogantly sees herself as judge, jury and executioner. She is a hardline, right-wing menace to freedom of speech and independent journalism.
ABC Alumni is outraged at the continued insistence by Australia’s Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism,that the ABC and SBS are contributing to antisemitism.

I do not understand this:
If Russell Brand can be correctly convicted, why can literally nobody from the Epstein files be convicted.

An 18-year-old was running to catch a city bus when he stumbled directly into the path of its massive rear wheel.
The bus rolled forward, trapping him underneath it. By the time the driver stopped, the teenager was pinned to the pavement.
A woman screamed for help. Passengers rushed off the bus, strangers came running, and a crowd gathered around him.
But the bus weighed more than 16 tons. And the only way to free him was to somehow lift it.
It happened in Berlin, Germany. Several men tried lifting the bus, but they needed help. Others nearby saw what was happening and rushed over.
Nearly 40 people pushed together, slowly raising the massive bus just enough to pull the teenager free.
Nearby medical workers rushed outside and treated him before he was taken to the hospital for surgery.
Then his damaged phone rang. The name on the screen was “Mama.” A doctor answered and reassured his mother that her son was alive.
The Internet is full of negative news these days, it’s time we share something positive.

What is most distressing today is that, despite possessing the wisdom and resources needed to end world hunger, address climate change, and cure cancer, we allow millions to continue suffering—all because of the greed of billionaires. This waste of human potential is heartbreaking.

BREAKING: HOLY SMOKES! Democrats now control enough states to effectively abolish the Electoral College through the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.
Republicans did NOT have this on their bingo cards...
Under the Constitution, states control their electoral votes and are allowed to decide how they are allocated during presidential elections. Currently, almost every state gives its votes to whoever wins the state.
In practice, the current system means that a candidate can win the national popular vote, but lose the election because small states like Wyoming exert undue influence on the outcome. That state has 3 electoral votes with a population of just 577,000 people. California has 54 electoral votes and a population of 39.5 million people. So a vote in Wyoming is essentially 3.8 times as valuable as one in California.
Since 1992, Democrats have won the popular vote seven out of nine times.
Under the NPV, states that join agree to give their electoral votes to whoever wins the national popular vote, not just their own state. So a state could go red on the map, but if the Democrat wins the national vote, they still get that state's votes. And vice versa of course.
The crucial mechanism is that the compact doesn't trigger until the member states have a combined power of at least 270 electoral votes, the number needed to win the White House. So far, 18 states plus D.C. have joined, totaling 222 electoral votes. We only need 48 more.
Now is the chance to pass this measure in every state possible. Democrats won both houses of the legislature in Wisconsin for the first time in 18 years (10 electoral votes). We won the Pennsylvania state Senate for the first time since 1993 (19 votes). We now have a trifecta in Michigan (15 votes). And we won the governor’s race in Nevada (6 votes).
10 + 19 + 15 + 6 = 50.
222 + 50 = 272.
And if we hold our lead in the Arizona Senate, that number could climb as high as 283, more than enough to trigger the compact.
In addition to removing an imbalance in our system that favors Republicans, this novel approach would fundamentally change how candidates run their presidential campaigns. Currently, they are incentivized to ignore most of the country. If you live in a “safe” state, red or blue, your vote for President is basically decided before you cast it. Campaigns spend their time and money in a handful of swing states while the rest of us watch from the sidelines. If the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is adopted, they'll have reason to hit every state because they're aiming to win the largest swath of the country as a whole, not just certain states.
States have until July 20, 2028 to join the compact in time for the next presidential election.
We can fix our democracy. The time is now.

Jim you are an amazing man, you have done the hard yards dropping inflation by 6% in post COVID.
You are our hero!
We know fuel supplies is the main reason for this setback!
If not for you we would be sitting on double digit inflation under the LNP.

How can illegal attacks on a nation be called "defensive strikes".
What part of the US is Iran attacking?

Keen to keep flogging a dead horse, Segal then attempts to analyse the various differences between various alleged antisemitism - and her and her team's agenda becomes immediately apparent.
Under the heading of, 'Far-left antisemitism
or issue-motivated antisemitism', take this confused, unintelligible mixture of random words and phrases that lacks logical structure or meaning:
'This framing allows longstanding antisemitic motifs to be repackaged in the academic language of anti-racism, decolonisation, human rights, social justice and intersectionality, often in service of a traditional Marxist revolutionary agenda.'
Sorry, what?
People on the 'far-left' or people 'motivated by issues' (meaning, against the killing of babies) are guilty of servicing a Marxist revolutionary agenda ?!!?
Good god, what sort of Sky-After-Dark, pearl-clutching, modern day McCarthy'ist hysterical garbage is that?
Normal people who oppose the wholesale slaughter of a country's people and who want to be free to live in their own countries without the oppressive foot of Israel over their heads, are not also seeking to overthrow their governments in a communist uprising - they're just not.
This statement of Segal's is not only hyperbolic bullshit of the highest order, it's also just bloody embarrassing.

I've been reading through this, which was released today, and let me tell you - it is a hot mess.
Jillian Segal (well let's face it, the taxpayer-funded team who work for her) has delivered a line of limited thinking that aims to insert itself into every aspect of Australian life - with no peer review, or any form of independent assessment. We are expected to simply take the Antisemitism Envoy at their word and shut up.
As usual, it presents as a wandering discourse of unevidenced claims, taking particular aim at the increasing dissatisfaction with Israel by most of the western world and hiding it within the cloak of 'antisemitism' - a word tossed about freely throughout the document, a word that underwrites the document and all it's radical thought-policing, but a word that they fail to provide with any concrete definition or cohesive meaning.

My father and Patrick Stewart went to school together and dad was a very first person to cast Patrick in his very first play. I have the play bill as proof and they remained lifelong friends hosting a show back in their beloved Yorkshire together a few years ago…. Patrick was always kind and gracious to me and took me round the Star Trek set both men Giants of Yorkshire.

What a heartbreaking week it has been. Sir Patrick Stewart was a friend, a colleague, and a magnificent actor. From the stage to the bridge of the Enterprise, he brought intelligence, grace, and a deep sense of humanity to everything he did. Captain Picard stood for the best of us, and so did the man who played him. I was filled with affection and admiration for him and his work.
My heart goes out to Sunny and his family. He will be deeply missed.

Problem with all #parliaments & #politicians is they believe that #economics determines our prosperity and life style. That's nonsense. Most of us prefer hope, a fair go, friendly neighbours, an honest marketplace, no racism or religious bigotry, justice & a caring society.
