The US is no longer directing the war against Iran If there ever was a strategy behind Donald Trump's decision to blow up the Middle East, it is lying in tatters as the second week of the Iran war draws to a close.

Iran, not the US, currently has the strategic upper hand www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03... via @ABCaustralia

This hasn't happened since WWII. The UK is asking amateur 'ham' radio operators to be on standby, carry out equipment checks etc and make sure they are ready to operate at a moment's notice.

The image isn't (sadly) a historical one from WWII, it's from today, 9/3/2026 issued by Westminster.

There goes any western journo reporting facts from the ground in Israel.

So, Aussie servos are running out of fuel, the UK has put ham radio ops on standby and Israel has banned all reporting from Israel or get five years in an Israeli prison.

Good times. Thanks America, Thanks Trump.

MYTH: As commander-in-chief, Trump has the authority to take military action.

FACT: It is unconstitutional for a U.S. president to declare war without the approval of the Knesset.

It could not be more obvious that the president does not care about US service members and in fact regards their deaths as mere political inconveniences. He has more sympathy for Putin than Americans who died because he decided to wage illegal war. Just listen to him.

Trump administration is failing to address spread of measles, experts say As number of cases climbs past 1,000, experts say CDC is not taking obvious steps amid funding cuts

Measles is a highly contagious virus. It’s also one we know how to contain. But as cases in the US accelerate past 1000, the Trump admin is refusing to take obvious steps to mitigate the spread. My latest.

Strengthen public education to boost social cohesion

According to the Scanlon Foundation, social cohesion is “at its lowest level since it was first measured”. One response lies in education. Diverse public schools create the conditions where “stereotypes soften, suspicion eases and mutual understanding grows”. satpa.pe/nNeL8ak
