The irony of POTUS suggesting—a rumour that Lisa Cook claimed both of her meagre properties as her place of residence on a mortgage application is cause for dismissal—appears lost to the media. Trumps financial crimes are certainly cause.

US treachery isn’t peacemaking. Ukraine’s current borders, like most nations, are an inherited history—forged by wars, expansions— later international agreements and accords. USA promised to protect these borders in the 1994 Budapest Memorandum in exchange for nuclear disarmament.

Andrew Dominick (Director) was as poetically accomplished with the lens as Bono was gracious in his monologue of gero-transcendence. A love story as complex as it always was for U2—and happens to be for us mere mortals.

Rooftops in the Forbidden City in Beijing have a clay effigy of a man riding a chicken. It represents a disgraced or tyrannical official—a symbol of buffoonery and humiliation—strips the figure of honor and status, offering a permanent moral lesson to future generations.

Unlikely this is a gift to the Dems in the midterms, more likely candidates will run in seats that prevent either party from controlling the house. A hung house - a coalition with GOP that can essentially reel them in. #AmericaParty #Musk

In 2002 , terrorist group Jemaah Islamiyah targeted Australian and other Western civilians in bombings in Bali—killing 200+.
Imagine if Australia’s response was to bomb and starve Bali for 2 years—killing 85,000+ innocent civilians. #auspol #Gaza #Palestine

An important moment to reflect on Eisenhower’s 1953 TPAJAX coup in Iran—which ended Iranian democracy and supported a more oil friendly monarchic autocracy. It fuelled the Anti-American Islamic Revolution in 1979 and continuing suspicion of Western interventions. #History #Iran

Obama admin led Iran Nuclear Deal (JCPOA) was cancelled by Trump on the advice of his hawks—perhaps BOMBS is again the preferred method?

Floods in Australia have increased < 1000% in 50 yrs - extreme weather events are rapidly accelerating. The Libs/Nats have chosen to deny, seed doubt, and proclaim action as pointless. There is no country better placed to demonstrate to the world how to rapidly transition. #auspol

Climate denial at the bequest of the energy-industrial complex is now a conundrum for the #LNP #Libs. It’s the same playbook as their denial of asbestos and tobacco science during the 1949-1972 Liberal epoch. The knowledge landscape is different now, but they are not. #auspol

Dutton oozes “hostage” in his clumsy rhetoric. He understands the role of the useful idiot puppet of vested interest backers, but can’t quite finesse the illogical leaps and self-inflicted conundrums. The Trump mimicry plan flopped at the last hurdle and now he doesn’t know who to be. #auspol

A political debate between Albanese and Dutton doesn’t represent the political spectrum reality of 2025. The Greens, and Teal representatives should have had a voice - they will likely be playing a significant role in forming the next government, and Australia will be better for it. #auspol

Peter Dutton’s longstanding rejection of science and disdain for scientists extends beyond climate change. If he is elected he will defund, dismantle, and disempower one of Australia’s greatest assets - it’s astonishing scientific community.
