Booker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."

Kherson. Russia deliberately attacked a man selling goods at a market. He tried to hide, but the Russian FPV drone followed him. The National Police posted that he survived but was injured. Russian human safari in Kherson never stops.

How can this continue to happen and our western governments just sit and twiddle the thumbs? Where is Australians Albanese government to condemn this? It’s criminal. Literally.

ABC News presenters making sure that everyone knows that recent attacks are FAR-LEFT attacks... Spare me.

Just once I’d like Greenblat, Ryvchin, Segal et al to acknowledge and condemn this ‘settler’ terrorist behavior. Their silence says everything. Mind you our media never asks, yet fall over themselves to demand Muslim Australians to condemn ISIS. 😏

Graves. Mosques. Beehives. Greenhouses. This is the destruction left behind by Israeli settlers after one week of attacks against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. 🤬🇮🇱♾️🤬🇮🇱♾️😢

"The politicians basically serve the rich, the wealthy, and their self-interest." Listen to this man in Nigel Farage's constituency.

Jonathan Greenblat should also note the whole world is watching Israel committing the worst atrocities. Disingenuous rubbishing of Anti genocide protesters as dangerous. Go home.

Caught giving false evidence, David Ossip tries dodging questions as Commr Bell demands he answer on his claim the Oct9 Opera House protest was held “before” Israel's military response. Toomey SC reveals Gaza was being hit by IDF airstrikes on Oct7.🙄 Another exposed witness.💥

omg what a trainwreck he stumbled over all the policy then nailed that zionist position - that Jewish Australians can be traumatised by Oct 7 but everyone else must be untraumatised and silent about the genocide - almost in a single breath.

Why is it that only left wing leaders have these questions thrown at them by establishment media @nytimes.com ? Why is it that someone like Trump can trumpet tax cuts for the wealthy and futile hyper expensive Middle East wars and just demand more money (debt) with no serious fiscal criticism?

Farkin hell this is depressing. TLDR Big money has corrupted US politics. Dems are broke. Elections are hopelessly rigged for Republicans. Vast swathes of Americans are low info dumb and the billionaires know it. World is doomed with Trump. www.smh.com.au/world/north-...

Peter Greste is 🎯, but doesn't go far enough. This is not just about Hanson's dislike for some 'unfriendly' media outlets. It's a deliberate effort to further undermine public confidence in fact-based journalism that could hold her to account. Her tactics are straight from Trump and MAGA. #auspol

🦎 Jen - It's the Stupid People, Stupid 🐝@jennifereccles.bsky.social · yesterday

If Hanson is deciding between those she likes and those she doesn’t, between publications branded “friendly” and those marked “hostile”, between “good media” and “bad”, it risks tarnishing those who are allowed inside the One Nation tent as being on “their side”.

God why do they do it. It’s NEVER enough to humiliate yourself 99% of the time for the buffoon. You have to do it 100%
