My mother used to say, "a cat can look at a king", which my father said meant, "hold your head high, and never bow down to anybody." Words to live by. :)

To Denmark and Greenland: 100 Danish forces deployed to Desert Storm. They stood with us defending sovereignty and international law. Now I watch Stephen Miller mock you on TV while my government threatens to invade Greenland. I'm a veteran and I'm ashamed beyond words. I'm so sorry.

We got half a million signatures demanding a royal commission into the Murdoch press. It was ignored.
Can the Murdoch press get that many washed up swimmers and cricketers to sign up for a royal commission (that will be abused to justify Zionist encroachment on our rights)?

Public conversation in Australia is so moronic and disingenuously manipulated that paying attention to it is a health hazard.
Semi-charismatic empty vessels, on behalf of the hyper-wealthy, squawk about why we need something racist, or fascist.
Repeat until the sun explodes.
