WHITE HOUSE: "When you see it on Truth Social, you know it's directly from President Trump."

TRUMP 2 WEEKS AGO: "Somebody posted, a staffer posted ... somebody slipped. I didn't do it. This was done by somebody else."

Nation’s taxpayers not enough to pay for ballooning deficits State and federal budgets will have been in the red for 20 years by 2028. A new report says workers face more tax to get them in the black.

Phillip Island is a great race track let down by sub standard facilities.

World stock markets may be doing well, but why do people in these economies feel like they are going backwards ?

Governments are facing pressure from far right parties that focus on issues like immigration as the “cause of everything”

What does “Dow 50,000” actually tell you—anything about the economy, or just that a number got bigger? Dow 50,000 is a milestone, not a measurement. The level of the Dow is basically arbitrary: it’s… "Dow 50,000" Sound Nice. Until Justin Wolfers Shows You That U.S. Markets Are Coming 21st Out of 23.

The Dow was at 43,488 when Trump took office. It just hit 50,000.

So if you had invested $43,488 in the US, you would now have $50,000. But if you had invested the same amount in the rest of the world, you would now be worth $60,000.

Stayed with our son in Islington, walked everywhere,caught the tube, rode the double decker buses.
Never felt unsafe!

Screenshot of Tommy Ten Names, claiming he's afraid and fleeing the UK.

Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country?

Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.

"The LNP were effectively giving Queensland's coal to Adani for free."

After the LNP abandoned a court case against Adani over unpaid coal royalties, it looks pretty dodgy that the data shows they received over half a million dollars in donations from Adani.

Having a 44 year old ex world champion and talentless under performing team owners son as drivers I believe is a bigger issue than Adrian Newey’s car design.

CSIRO funding falling short by ‘at least’ $1 billion Internal correspondence and Senate submissions show the CSIRO is running out of money and may lose its position as a leading research agency.

Billions lost in revenue from the gas cartel, billions sent to two G7 nations to boost their submarine industrial capability, while we sabotage our future by starving CSIRO of funds. A 'dumb present' denying our children a 'smart future'. #auspol

So a lot of these people that ICE is capturing, worked and supported themselves and their families.
They were not eligible for any government handouts.
Now the government is paying private companies to house them in concentration camps. ?

Comic of an underwater Parliament house, with submarines above. Speech bubble text: "Sure, we could have done more to prevent the ice caps melting, but luckily we spent the money on these submarines instead."

Vale Jon Kudelka - a brilliant artist who knew the power of comedy in holding truth to power, and effecting change. 

His work showed a genuine and profound love for people and nature - often funny, often heartbreaking, but always incisive.

If all these rich men "regret" their time with Epstein then why didn't they announce prior to the release of the files that their names would be part of the collection? Why didn't they self-report? The answer is they are not sorry and have no regret. They are sorry and regret they got caught.
