A large majority of Americans are still waiting for the killers of Renee Good and Alex Pretti to be charged and brought to justice.

Channel 7 reports Jess Wilson cancelled all media today to avoid questions over the Deeming/Guy situation.

If Jess vanishes whenever her party room's at war, she'll be leading the Opposition entirely from home, and she doesn't support working from home.

Walked past the Pool of Reflection in Hyde Park yesterday - very happy to report;
No peeling paint
No whiff of chlorine
No green algae
No brown sludge
No fences
No arrests…
Just people out enjoying #publicsydney
What’s so hard about that?

I confess I’m puzzled by the fascination with Stefanovic. Who cares ? The Today Show died in the arse after Lisa Wilkinson left, watched only in nursing homes where the inhabitants were too frail to reach for the remote. https://t.co/5P2FrkF2sP

Irish fighter Paddy McCorry defeated Israeli Shuki Farage, raised the Palestinian flag, and repeatedly shouted “Free Palestine” inside the cage while beating Shuki who is a soldier in the ‘IDF’.

The World Cup is proof that, if it weren't for our leaders, the vast majority of people around the world would get along just fine.

Nick McKim completely unloads on Pauline Hanson’s fake patriotism & ‘Israel First’ agenda,
“One Nation is Israel first, US & Donald Trump second, Pauline Hanson herself third & the rest of us dead last.”

It’s cost $2.4 billion all up to compensate the Robodebt victims. Those still alive, that is. An outrage. Yet those incompetent thugs Morrison, Robert and Tudge escape scot-free. And their successors have the gall to lecture us on responsible government. https://t.co/B95sKE1sC3

🇺🇸🇮🇹Donald Trump attacks Giorgia Meloni — and she delivers a fiery speech he’ll never forget.
Donald Trump thought he could easily score political points by calling Giorgia Meloni “an insult to Jesus,” accusing her of “not being woke,” and claiming that God does not discriminate. Unfortunately for “Don Dementia,” this time he picked the wrong target.
Standing at a historic location, Giorgia Meloni didn’t just respond — she delivered a full moral reckoning.
“The President of the United States just said that I insult Jesus,” Giorgia Meloni declared. “Do you want to know what really insults Jesus? Taking healthcare away from the sick while cutting taxes for billionaires.”
And that was only the beginning.
“Do you want to know what else insults Jesus?” she continued. “Deporting foreigners and separating children from their mothers.”
Then she went even further, touching on war, corruption, and hypocrisy.
“Do you want to know what insults Jesus? Bombing innocent schools in Iran and sending our brave men and women to die in yet another endless war… hiding the Epstein files and then refusing to prosecute anyone involved.”
This wasn’t politics as usual. It was a full moral indictment.
Giorgia Meloni, targeted by Trump for supporting transgender people and for saying that “trans children are children of God,” completely turned the tables. Instead of backing down, she grounded her message in the very teachings Trump tried to weaponize.
“I am not a perfect Christian,” she said. “There was only one perfect man, and two thousand years ago he was crucified.”
Then came the line that hit the hardest:
“Jesus told us to love our neighbor as ourselves… Can we imagine war in heaven? Can we imagine hatred in heaven? Can we imagine poverty in heaven? Then why do we tolerate these things on Earth?”
This is how you respond. Not with insults. Not with fear. But with clarity and conviction.
Trump tried to discredit her. Instead, Giorgia Meloni delivered a sermon that now echoes far beyond that hall.
Please share Giorgia Meloni’s inspiring words.

"In Albania, the situation has completely spiraled out of control.

The Albanian people are calling on all celebrities to speak out publicly about them. Amplify our voice to the world. We will not accept the occupation of our land by the United States and Israel."

Homosexuality is not against nature.
More than 500 species are known to practice same-sex coupling.
Religion is against nature.
No other animal practices it.

[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

In 1997, actor John C. McGinley’s son, Max, was born with Down syndrome. Shortly after, John's talent agent pulled him aside to deliver what was framed as practical advice: Do not talk about this publicly. Keep it quiet. People will stop hiring you.

For some, that might have sounded like reasonable career preservation. Protect the livelihood, avoid the spotlight, and pretend nothing had changed.

John’s response was immediate. He fired the agent.

Then, he did the exact opposite of what he had been told. He brought Max everywhere. Red carpets, talk shows, film sets, and public events. Wherever John went, Max was right beside him. At a time when society still largely preferred to keep individuals with developmental disabilities out of sight, John made a different choice. He made his son visible. Openly, proudly, and entirely without apology.

What began as a father's protective instinct grew into decades of fierce advocacy. John became one of the country's most recognizable voices for Down syndrome awareness. He spoke at global conferences, testified before Congress, and fought hard for employment law reforms that created real opportunities for people with disabilities to work, earn, and live independently.

During this journey, a reporter asked John a question that revealed far more about society's biases than it did about Max. The reporter asked if John ever wished his son were normal.

John didn't hesitate. He replied that Max was normal. The question wasn't. It was a blunt rejection of the idea that a person’s worth is measured by how well they fit into a narrow, conventional box.

Decades have passed since that conversation. Max is now 27 years old. He works, navigates his community, and lives an independent life filled with possibilities that the critics in 1997 never could have imagined for him.

Reflecting on their journey, John often says that Max never limited his life. He expanded it. Through his son, he learned what love, patience, and true commitment require.

The world signaled early on that it would have preferred Max to remain hidden in the shadows. John spent nearly three decades ensuring that the world looked Max right in the eye. Some fathers protect their children by shielding them from the world. Others protect them by refusing to let the world look away.

True inclusion begins when we stop treating differences as deficits. Max didn't need to change to fit into the world.

The world needed to change to make room for Max.

When IDF soldiers murdered Polish chef Damian Soból for cooking meals to starving refugees in Gaza, the world barely cared.

This man had spent his entire life showing up for strangers including during an earthquake in Turkey. Every time the world broke, Damian was there.
