That Giuffre’s name is not forever linked to Trump and Mar a Lago is another piece of evidence for how broken our media is, how feckless the Democrats are, and how Teflon Trump is.
“In interviews and depositions, Ms. Giuffre said she was recruited to the sex ring in 2000 while working as a locker room attendant in President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Fla. “

Our national security officials have long viewed access to US intelligence as an end in itself. That was always a mistake. It's imperative we review our US intel ties, end subordination to an unreliable 'ally' and avoid compromise of our security. #auspol

Yesterday, I fondly remembered my dear friend Leonard Nimoy, who would have turned 94. His legacy lives on in our hearts. Just days ago, Bill Shatner celebrated his 94th birthday — wishing him continued health and happiness. Live long and prosper, my friends.

Disgraceful response. They never take responsibility. Pete Hegseth put our national security at risk. He is completely unfit to lead.
Reporter: Can you share how your information about war plans was shared with a journalist?
Hegseth: So you are talking about a deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist who has made a profession of peddling hoaxes

In the past four weeks, Costco, which has embraced DEI initiatives, GAINED 7 million shoppers…

That’s the power we have as consumers.

Still trapped in a Telstra nightmare. Three weeks and they still can’t fix my request. Today’s phone call lasted 53 minutes, had to “authenticate”myself three times. Then the recording of their “terms and conditions” broke down and refused to play. Third World incompetence. Breathtaking.

Why solar and batteries are now the engine room of the energy transition
Plunging cost of solar and battery storage is likely to save Australia’s giant smelters and refineries, and will also underpin massive new green metal industries.

The Budget should include a massive and historic increase in funding for research. Not only is it needed, but we really should be poaching ever medical and scientific researcher from the US we can. Absolutely perfect timing.
This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH
