Russia offers Musk asylum, but I think Trump wants out, if he's "safe". Vance will pardon him.

They say it canβt be done, but here we are, California is generated 106% of Californiaβs entire state electricity demand from renewables.
California has a population bigger that 154 other countries around the world. Itβs the 4th largest economy, in the world.
Let that sink in.

Did anyone notice that Speers talking on the ABC's election night broadcast said in talking about Keith Wolahan in Menzies " looks like WE lost Menzies". So much for objectivity.

I actually heard one of their minions answer a question about what policies they had for women, that the 12 month petrol rebate was a sure vote winner as women drove cars too. That's it.

Send this to your friends & family & see if they can find all 20 Dodos! At the same time expose them to Labor's high tech industry development policy which I REALLY REALLY want to see become reality because it breaks fossil fuel industry stranglehold over #Australia.

Public services already battered and hobbled by lack of funding will atrophy and fall prey to private equity. Blackrock, Blackstone, Deloitte, PEEL Group, and Palantir are ushering in an apocalyptic reconfiguration of all societal infrastructure.

Dusting off my old Oxford English Dictionary and consulting carefully, I could not find "attack friends and submit to enemies" as a definition of the word "strength."
