I’m Jewish. I live in Bondi. But I take no comfort from Herzog’s visit
Not all Jews welcome the arrival of Israel’s president in Australia. I am one who believes he will divide us at a time we need cohesion. It is the type of position that has cost me friends.

I decided to write a movie for Jason Statham in which ICE invades the small midwestern town of Tinyville and EX-DELTA FORCE SAS NAVY SEAL SHERIFF MASON MCKILLCHAIN must choose between the law and revenge, but not for long.
My pitch to Jason Statham.
Sorry, couldn't stop myself.

White House press corps, I know some of you are shy, so let me help you get started. This isn't fifty questions--I could only fit twenty-one in alt text--but let me know if you need more!
Did you know that Trump himself had not posted the video when you defended it? Why would you accuse people who were offended by a racist video of lying about their reactions? What percentage of Trump's Truth Social posts are made by someone else? What percentage of Trump's Truth Social posts are made without his knowledge? How many people aside from Trump have access to his social media account? Who are those people? Which of Trump's other Truth Social posts were posted by someone else? How can anyone be sure that posts under Trump's name come from Trump? Why should anyone believe that this particular post did not come from Trump since it is consistent with his well-reported history of racist remarks and conduct? If people can't be sure any post is his, why should anyone take any post under his name either literally or seriously? What was the impulse for the staffer to make that post? Has the staffer been disciplined in any way? Will the staffer continue to have access to his account? What does it say about Trump's judgment that he would choose a staffer with this kind of judgment to have access to his account? Is the anonymous staffer a hastily invented concoction to which you pivoted once you realized that the story was going to outgrow your attempts to dismiss it? How do you react to the almost universal condemnation of the post? The President's late-night posting sprees are filled with lapses in taste and judgment as well as threats and pronouncements that go nowhere. What does that say about the President's emotional stability? What does it say about the President's honesty? What does it say about the President's credibility? Hasn't your own credibility been damaged by your defense of something widely seen as indefensible? What does it say about you that you were comfortable not only defending the video but attacking those who were offended by it? Doesn't the amount of lying Trump does, and that you do for him, undermine your ability to be trusted on anything?

It really depends on how much violence the cops are prepared to deploy. In the 70s, Bjelke-Petersen ordered the Qld cops to bash protestors to deter them from marching.

We need to ensure the political price paid for police violence is high enough to deter a police riot. #NSWpol #Palestine #Herzog

Sorry, but this is rubbish. #Racism doesn't begin with words; it begins with deeds. Oppression of Indigenous people in Australia comes from theft of land, #genocide & police brutality.

The language comes later to interpret & justify it.

With the complicity of spineless Democrats, the fascists in the federal government are trying to rebrand ICE as a kinder, gentler Gestapo.

Body cams will make no one safer. The mercenary who murdered Renee Good was filming when he shot her.

No concessions! ABOLISH ICE! 🏴
A screenshot of a social media post, reading: Secretary Kristi Noem @Sec_Noem I just spoke with @RealTomHoman @ICEDirector @CBPCommissioner . Effective immediately we are deploying body cameras to every officer in the field in Minneapolis. As funding is available, the body camera program will be expanded nationwide. We will rapidly acquire and deploy body cameras to DHS law enforcement across the country. The most transparent administration in American history—thank you @POTUS Trump.
