“Why is this important? What am I here to tell you? If the state can force you to accept men as women, they can force you to accept anything. Freedom of speech, belief & association are the bedrock of a free society but they are in direct conflict with transgender ideology.”
Before bombing Gaza and Lebanon,
they had to teach the West who not to cry for.
That is why the “dangerous Muslim” image was manufactured.
Not as analysis.
As a moral license for war.

A devastated uncle, Rod, just spoke out, their father passed in April, leaving a modest trust for Jacinta (16, brain damaged from birth) and Jason (19).
These are kids with a single mum, just trying to get some stability after losing everything. Now the government wants a bigger cut.
“They’re dipping their hands into the pockets of a dead man and taking his money that’s destined for his own children.”
Rod agrees with Angus Taylor, this is cruel, unmandated, and immoral. A death tax by stealth.
Ben Fordham to Albanese & Chalmers: “explain this to these two kids.”
Heartbreaking.
Mark Levin called Thomas Massie “probably the most conservative member of the House” less than three years ago.
Massie isn’t a Democrat. Massie isn’t liberal. He just isn’t owned by the Israel lobby.
President Trump is taking a HUGE risk in putting so much political capital in destroying Rep Massie. If Massie wins, everyone will see he thwarted all the machinations and money 💴 of the most powerful man in the world - making Massie *far* more influential and concurrently diminishing the power and influence of the president himself.
The ppl of Kentucky are more likely to return him to office bc he has proven himself to b the actual America-first politician that has the courage to do the right thing to serve the interests of *the people* of his district rather than interests of powerful ppl in Washington.
The single biggest winner from the budget: the tax-free owner-occupied home, which is where people will put their money. After the budget doubles the capital gains tax on productive businesses/assets from circa 23.5% to 46-47%, investors will understandably pull money from businesses, shares, commercial property and rental housing and plough it into their tax-free owner-occupied home. It's a great way to push up the prices of these houses. On the other hand, cutting negative gearing while also doubling CGT makes investing in rental properties extremely unattractive. It hammers the capital gain upside on any asset: shares, commercial property, the small or medium sized business you built, venture capital and private equity. It will give Australia the most unattractive capital gains tax in the WORLD (see table below)! So the government's policies will (1) push up owner-occupied house prices, (2) push up rents, and (3) reduce the capital available for investing in any small, medium or large sized business that is driving employment, innovation, growth and productivity/prosperity. Investors will go to other countries where they pay half the capital gains tax, or less. Since these pollies have never worked a day of their lives in the private sector, it is no surprise that when they decide to completely and unilaterally rewrite the entire tax system for all investors and businesses -- after promising before the last election more than 50 times NOT to change the capital gains tax and negative gearing rules -- that they would blow the entire Aussie economy up... Your best bet will be to buy a house, live in it, and hope they keep dropping 500,000 new people into the country every year to pump-up prices...
Global System Rupture: We Are Now at Day 65
The Global System Rupture is no longer a foresight. It is the operating environment. It represents the fourth systemic risk-driven global crisis of the 21st century.
1️⃣ The first was the Global Financial Crisis of 2008.
2️⃣ The second was the COVID-19 pandemic.
3️⃣ The third was the Russia–Ukraine war and the energy shock it unleashed.
4️⃣ The fourth is the current rupture triggered by the Hormuz Cascade and the simultaneous breakdown of energy, food, finance, logistics, institutional trust, and geopolitical order.
This is not a conventional crisis. It is a threshold event.
A Global System Rupture occurs when cumulative stress across interdependent systems exceeds the capacity for managed adjustment. At that point, shocks no longer remain contained within one domain. They multiply across the system.
➡️ Energy becomes food insecurity.
➡️ Food insecurity becomes political instability.
➡️ Logistics disruption becomes industrial scarcity.
➡️ Financial stress becomes sovereign vulnerability.
➡️ Proxy wars become bloc consolidation.
➡️ Price signals become allocation regimes.
At Day 65, the rupture sequence has moved beyond early warning.
The Strait of Hormuz is declared open, yet functionally closed. Global energy inventories are draining. Fertilizer and food cascades are accelerating. The agricultural calendar is locking in consequences for the 2027 harvest. Financial stress is spreading through emerging markets. The DragonBear axis is consolidating. The global system is bifurcating not by ideology, but by logistics, allocation capacity, and strategic depth.
The core issue is not whether the system can “return to normal.”
It cannot.
The relevant question is what kind of new equilibrium emerges from the rupture and who has the strategic robustness to navigate it.
This is where the simultaneity approach to global affairs becomes essential. We cannot understand the current environment by looking at isolated crises. The rupture is defined precisely by the fact that multiple systemic risks are activating at the same time, reinforcing each other, and overwhelming the stabilizing mechanisms that worked in previous crises.
The analytical task is therefore no longer foresight. It is navigation.
Physical systems do not negotiate. They function, or they collapse.
The Iranian president defending the Pope from attacks by the US President.
And condemns his blasphemy against Jesus Christ.
What a timeline we live in!
I can’t believe this person is the energy minister. What juvenile rubbish.
The sun is free. But solar is a capital-intensive system. Panels, inverters, batteries, grid upgrades and firming capacity are all funded with mountains of debt. And when these bond yields rise… so does the cost of this “cheap” energy.
