I never gossip. Except to save a soul. Or a conversation. So you won't catch me repeating the rumors about JD Vance and Erika Kirk.

When public services become PR: How charities and corporations blur the line between care and self-promotion There are certainly cases where working with a charity lets government draw on specific expertise and enhance service delivery. But too often, that’s not the case.

Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service has evolved into a full-blown corporate machine with overblown fundraising efforts diverted from its core mission!
Leaving aside direct govt grants, McGrath Foundation was spending more on fundraising and marketing than it was spending on breast care nurses.

Buried detail in Labor's bill reveals how the government wants to override laws β€” and never tell you why

Executive overreach and secrecy are two of the hallmarks of the Albanese government. And its new environmental protection bill features both, writes Bernard Keane.

This is very true. If/when The Felon croaks, evil Criminal Johnson & the rest of the crew will continue the destruction. They're a disease that must be 100% eradicated.

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.
