47 years is the *opposite* of imminent (which means "something that will happen soon"). These people are so stupid.

RAJU: You'll concede this is war?

MARKWAYNE MULLIN: We haven't declared war. They declared war on us

RAJU: The president called it war and Secretary Hegseth called it war

REPORTER: When you walked up just now, you called it war

MULLIN: Okay. That was a misspoke.

Good. No concern was given for the impact on other marine species nor for human health. #politas

Put more simply: were there any Australians on the US submarine that just attacked and sunk an Iranian ship in international waters? Does the Australian government know the answer?

live.thepoint.com.au/2026/03/the-...

So – was the submarine that sunk the Iranian warship a Virginia class? Did it visit the Australian Navy base HMAS Stirling in WA on its way to its Indian Ocean deployment? If so, did any Australian crew join the submarine?

Was Australia involved in the operation off Sri Lanka?

As part of the Aukus nuclear-powered submarine deal, Australian crew are now embedded on US-flagged Virginia-class submarines. One defence report from November 2025 noted that “one in 10 crew members” on US nuclear-powered attack submarines “is Australian”.

Is Australia already involved in the US and Israel's illegal war on Iran?

This morning, US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that a US submarine sunk an Iranian ship in international waters off the coast of Sri Lanka.

This is psychotic behavior by Sheehy. My goodness

Today, Canadian PM Mark Carney delivered a strong and completely sensible speech to the Australian Parliament, where he said “In a world of great power rivalry, middle powers have a choice: compete for favour or combine for strength”.

This reason resonates with me so powerfully (1)

We covered the reasons why Albanese is like this on our latest pod. It doesn’t require psychoanalysis imo. He has no moral/political centre, there is no serious left in Australia anymore and the media ecosystem is more right-wing than ever.

All of that pulls an operative like him in one direction

France dumps Zoom and Teams as Europe seeks digital autonomy from the US European governments are moving away from U.S. tech giants, opting for domestic or open-source alternatives.

Just caught up with this:

France is dumping Zoom and Teams. So are soldiers in Austria. And bureaucrats in Germany.

They are seeking digital sovereignty, autonomy from the American tech oligarchs.

Who profits from the war Albanese is backing? The billionaires & corporations who profit from oil & weapons manufacturing. For them, war is a business model. Meanwhile every day people pay with their lives. Labor cannot continue to support Trump & Netanyahu's illegal war!

Last year, 50 Australians were serving on US attack submarines, and that number was on the rise.

The Albanese Government must answer whether Australian troops were used in this attack.

If we don't want to be involved in this war, withdraw Australian troops.

Stars are disappearing before our eyes — and something in us is shifting For most of human history, the night sky has been a shared inheritance, a source of wonder. Now, more than a billion children see barely any stars in the night sky above their homes. So what does that...

Of course he knows who Churchill was.

Churchill was the one who led the opposition to his role model, Adolf Hitler.

Tbf I’m quite surprised, given his lack of understanding of even the most basic of historical events, that the War Criminal and Paedophile President had even heard of Churchill

Hmm, yeah, my grandfathers didn't have careers. They had a bunch of jobs.

Global sea levels have been underestimated due to poor modelling, research suggests Analysis shows average levels are 30cm higher than thought, and up to 150cm in south-east Asia and Indo-Pacific

“Globally, the research found ocean levels are an average of 30cm higher than previously believed, but in some areas of the global south, including south-east Asia and the Indo-Pacific, they may be 100-150cm higher than previously thought”

Good news: Scientists were wrong about how bad sea level rise is.

Bad news: It’s even worse than we thought.
