Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit. His murder is as tragic as it is enraging. He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it.

Henry was far from the first to so needlessly lose his life, and I fear he won’t be the last. Each time a life like his is lost, the proper response—the only response—is righteous anger. One of the most important things the Trump administration has proven to the world is that stopping the flow of mass migration and defending national sovereignty is a matter of political will and leadership. Anything else is an excuse.

It is because we love the West that we want to preserve it. We love our civilization. We love our country. We love our children. And nobody—nobody—should ever die the way that Henry Nowak died. May God comfort those who loved him, and may God rest his soul.

“Birthday Cake Moment”: One Nation Senator Slams Albanese Budget as Worst in a Generation
by Joshua Spasaro

One Nation Senator for New South Wales, Sean Bell, believes the Albanese Government’s defence of its hugely unpopular federal budget has been so bad that he has compared it to John Hewson’s infamous birthday cake line.

In 1993, Liberal Party Opposition Leader Hewson could not explain to reporter Mike Willesee whether a birthday cake would cost more or less under his proposed tax reforms.

His interview played a major contribution in the failure of the Coalition to win the federal election, which took place just 10 days later on 13 March of that year.

The Albanese Government broke major election promises in its 2026-27 Federal Budget, after repeatedly arguing that it would not touch negative gearing or capital gains tax prior to the 2025 election, before reversing course.

It is introducing a minimum capital gains tax rate of 30 per cent on property and shares sold from mid-2027, and assets bought before 1985 will be brought into the tax net for the first time, but only for gains that accrue after July 1, 2027.

The existing 50 per cent discount on capital gains for individuals, partnerships and trusts will be scrapped from July 1, 2027, to be replaced with an inflation indexation model that will tax only the real gains on assets from that point.

Bell believes Treasurer Jim Chalmers’ interview with Billi Fitzsimons on her The Daily Aus podcast, following his delivery of the 2026 Budget, had similarly embarrassing moments to Hewson’s infamous “birthday cake” responses 33 years ago, when trying to explain these changes.

“We haven’t had a better example of how incompetent the Albanese Government is than with this budget,” Bell told The Daily Declaration during an Australian Jewish Association video conference.

“Frankly, watching some of the interviews that Treasurer Jim Chalmers and Anthony Albanese have given post-handing down that budget, it’s pretty clear that they do not appear to have a clue about what they’ve done.

“In fact, in one interview with Jim Chalmers, it was so borderline incoherent that it actually reminded me of a very famous interview with John Hewson when he was attempting to talk about GST and birthday cakes.

“I think this might be one of the most poorly-received and ill-thought-out budgets in my lifetime.”

This is one of the most classless, disrespectful, and vile posts using America’s fallen warriors as props to try to score cheap political points against President Trump.

Their sacrifice should NEVER be exploited, especially on Memorial Day.
