The man who stopped one of the Bondi Beach shooters is Ahmed El Ahmad, a Muslim man and 43 year old father of two.

He risked his life to save others, and reminded all of us that not all heroes wear capes.

He was shot twice and is in the hospital having surgery.

Please remember this man’s name.

“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

I feel like one of the most underrated explanations for what's happening right now in global politics is that almost everyone has lost their minds.

I grew up on all those US TV shows featuring holier-than-thou young lawyers crowing about the sacrosanct nature of the US Constitution.

It's clear that the Constitution is meaningless to enough people to allow this jackass to ignore it as he wishes.

The document has lost its hallowed veneer.

The CEOs of health insurance company’s don’t worry about medical care.

They make billions of dollars while Americans receive letters informing them their premiums are tripling

They don’t care if people die.

UnitedHealth is dropping millions of seniors in an effort to restore “swagger”.

I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

Tyson Foods announces that they’ll be closing a major beef-processing plant in Lexington, Nebraska with 3,200 employees.

Lexington has a population of 11,205.

Nebraska overwhelmingly voted for the orange felon over VP Kamala Harris.

I hope they’re enjoying their vote.

People living in countries with Universal Healthcare don’t envy the US system

They don’t want for profit healthcare

There are some Americans who insist on defending their healthcare system even as it bankrupts (or kills) people for profit…. But most would happily switch systems if they could

Now more than ever I’m convinced that the Americans who fight against Universal Healthcare just don’t want the poor or disabled to survive.

They think they’re invincible and will always be able to afford care.

They won’t want the “useless eaters” getting what they “earn” for themselves.

Did you know that in Canada, if a budget doesn’t pass the government doesn’t shut down?

Federal workers aren’t furloughed.

Funding for social services doesn’t dry up.

Failure to pass a budget triggers an election.

It puts the politicians jobs on the line.

They get the budget passed.
