Timely reminder than the UN, NATO and EU were established to help prevent World War 3, and they've done a pretty good job of it so far. Trump and his similarly deranged cronies pose the biggest threat to world peace since the 1930s.

At this point, how can you not call into question the mental fitness of this President?

Watching a far-off thunderstorm and heard a faint roar in the distance getting louder and louder over several minutes then boom! The roar was the northeastern suburbs getting smashed by big hail. Awesome weather experience.

Ahh Bob Katter, Australian politics' most colourful and respected racist xenophobe.
Shame his fisty antics at the press conference overshadowed the nasty, racist bullshit he was spouting 'Migrants don't work, don't assimilate and hate Australians, etc.'

I'm surprised this didn't get more of a run. Trump saying he fell out with Epstein because he "stole" young women from his Mar-a-Lago spa and took them to sex slave island. And to think Clinton got impeached over a blowjob. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07...
