What Musk actually believes:

He wants to (IVF) father many children

He wants to send his progeny to Mars

He actually believes a future civilisation will therefore worship him literally as a God

He is a very sick puppy

US Democrats are confident a Democrat majority House will investigate the Republican corruption.

Remember when Morrison & his goons were in charge of the chequebook? And we all thought a new Labor Govt would investigate LNP corruption.

Those were happy days……..

Ian Botham on England prep for the Perth Ashes Test:

“No State match borders on arrogance. Conditions are different in Australia:
The sun, heat, bounce, crowd, Aussie players. You’re not just playing against the cricket team, you’re playing against 24.5 million people.”

27.5 million Ian.

Keep up!

Oz view behind refusal to reduce emissions:

“We are a tiny population. Our contribution is negligible”

Do these morons apply this logic elsewhere?

“Do I have to pay for this drink? The cost is negligible compared to your total turnover”

“I was speeding yes, but no one was harmed!”

Grow up kids!

In 10 days, it will be 80 years since the Nuremberg Nazi trials began.

Only 80 years.....

It's not hundreds of years since the Nazis, but sometimes it seems like it, given how the world is failing to make the Zionist/Nazi connection.......😖

The LNP is the most minority of minority parliamentary members in decades and Insiders dedicates 75% of their program every week to them.

It’s somewhere between propaganda, sycophancy and the Stockholm Syndrome of Speers and Karvelas.

At least when Trump is finally imprisoned and his assets are seized by the People, the East Wing can be reconstructed using Trump’s funds.

Earlier today, our 3 year old neighbour was riding by on her dad’s shoulders.

“Guess what?!!”she called out.

“I’m 4 years old today for the first time!!”😂🤗

Happy birthday little one……🎉

How in 2025 do we get a federal Labor Government that has front benchers who are to the right of many Liberal Party front benchers from 1980…..? 😳😖🤮

Which is why we're going to use police powers to stop a person’s welfare payment before any court process. Just like Jesus would have wanted.
At the Christian prayer breakfast this week, Attorney-General Michelle Rowland said that the “principles and values that Jesus lived by underpin the role of Australia’s first law officer” and claimed that “our values and faith” guide lawmakers. Read more: rationalist.com.au/australias-a...

Albo should read Ian Curtis’s lyrics instead of wearing the T

Edits - Candidate 1979

“Forced by the pressure
territories marked
No longer the pleasure
I've since lost the heart

I don't know what made me
what gave me the right
to mess with your values
and change wrong to right”

Read them PM….

Most people I know want the same things:
Income
Comfy home
Nice tucker
Good friends
Loving family
Security

We’re all the same

Who creates the differences?

The 1%.
The leaders
The power hungry
The psychos

Be relaxed people, resist the 1%…….

Will US military leaders follow a Trump order to fight their own citizens?

Afrika Corp leader Rommel was never a Nazi but was a patriotic German soldier & described his “personal love” of Hitler.

Will this complex scenario be reflected by current US officers?

Or will they defy Trump?

Those of us who’ve voted Labor from back in the Whitlam era, but who’ve realised the ALP is now a failed political party, must note the following:

Fear and oppose not just the Right.

Also fear and oppose the mind-numbing, amoral, bankrupt Centre…….

Cleaned out my gutters today. First time for over 2 years.

I filled this 60 litre container with yummy compost.

Not sure whether to be embarrassed by my poor home maintenance efforts; or delighted by my earthworm-rich soil conditioner?? 🤔 😂

Capitalism doesn’t work on a finite Earth

So the top 1%?

1. Give wealth away to ease conscience

2. Chase the stars while underestimating the task

3. Build bunkers - but with no foundations

Smart robots will replace us - but do the 1% know that one day smart robots will also take THEM out too?!

It’s extraordinary how many commentators are still discussing options for the next US elections!

As though they’re still gonna happen in the normal way…….

The MAGAs are not gonna let go of power.

The commentary has to start accepting & reflecting that.

The entire NACC was an election campaign lie. It does none of the things we could have reasonably expected it to do.
