BREAKING NEWS: Australia's biggest television host @karlstefanovic was just SACKED by the biggest news channel in the country because he did a podcast with @TRobinsonNewEra

POSTING IN FULL TO X TO OPPOSE CENSORSHIP

SAVE KARL STEFANOVIC, STOP AUSTRALIAN CENSORSHIP

I’ve realised as I get older, the more I can relate to this guy.

Why do some children grow more than others 🤯??

[Daniel @VoteLewko]

If Channel Nine weree going to sack @karlstefanovic for interviewing @TRobinsonNewEra because that is not the image Nine wants for their Today host, then consistency demands they also sack his co-host Sarah Abo.

She interviewed Nasser Mashni. A convicted violent kidnapper and terror supporter, who bashed a 15 year old child and has supported Hamas, repeatedly refusing to outright condemn Hamas' mass murder of Jews on October 7.

Nine should also sack every producer who set up the interview.

Or is that the image Nine wants?

Never get so high on success that you forget where you started. Stay humble, remember your beginnings, and give back. ♥️

🚨 WOW! Spencer Pratt just dropped this after they stole the LA mayoral election from him — he’s about to drop BOMBSHELLS he was saving for the general election!

“We have some recordings of one of your insulting candidates doing and saying something that would make her resign in shame.” 🤯

“I was saving it for the general election. Go ahead and pick your demon, certify your choice, and then you get to see it.”

“You think you can get rid of me that easily?”

“Karen, Nithya, ask yourself, is it possible that one of your employees may have a recording of you doing or saying something that would force you to resign in disgrace?”

🔥🔥🔥

This week, my wife and I made the very difficult decision to terminate the pregnancy due to Trisomy 21.

The choice was not made lightly. We really appreciate all of the personal stories that you guys shared with us, especially the unconditional support we received from fans with no matter what we decided.

I know some of you may be very disappointed to hear this news. We are devastated. This has been extremely traumatic for both of us, especially Ashley.

She underwent the procedure earlier this week and is on the mend. Thankfully, everything went smoothly, but emotionally we are drained.

Trisomy 21, also known as Down Syndrome, is caused by an extra chromosome. It is caused by an error in cell division, like a glitch. The odds of a baby having it is 1 in 1000.

When I first confronted this news, I was shocked but optimistic. If they’re a little slow intellectually, then we’ll make it work. I signed on to be a parent, come what may…but I just didn’t fully understand what Down Syndrome entailed.

Once we made it public, it became clear that MOST people don’t know what Down Syndrome entails (and no, it’s not the same as Autism):

50% of babies with DS have heart defects. 75% will have hearing challenges. Over 50% will have vision problems. Impaired immune function, developmental disabilities, learning disabilities, delayed physical development, poor muscle tone, structural issues with face, decreased lifespan, etc…Sadly, the list is long, feel free to look it up…Down Syndome isn’t a “blessing”, it is objectively shitty from a health perspective.

I didn’t realize just how rough it is for the child, let alone the family…more often than not, they would be fully dependent on others for the rest of their life.

The miscarriage risk is also close to 50%, which made matters worse…they may never see the light of day and it puts Ashley further at risk.

We spoke with doctors, friends, family and genetic counselors and learned that up to 90% of women terminate their pregnancy after learning the baby has Trisomy 21.

This was WAY higher than I expected, I thought it would be lower given that I hear so many say they kept or would keep the baby. I believe that’s because most terminations happen privately, it feels shameful. A lot of judgment being cast.

You never think you’d be in this type of situation until it happens to you and then things change.

To all of my fans who have weighed in on this topic who have Autism, Down Syndrome or any other conditions…we appreciate you. You matter a lot and we’re glad you’re here. I commend you and your families for having the strength and courage to push forward.

As for us, we made a difficult decision that we believe in the long-run will be beneficial for our family. Thankfully, we had a choice.

It will take a little time to move on, but we are excited to try again in the future and hopefully have a better outcome.

Love you guys & thank you for understanding. ❤️

The West has created an utterly evil state religion where an accusation of “racism” is the gravest offense that can be committed, even worse than rape or murder!

So if police show up at a crime scene and a British boy is bleeding out and an immigrant says the British boy is racist the cops will cuff the dying British boy.

[Marek Spanel @maruksp]

I do not speak about politics often on this account. But this time I will.

He was eighteen. He was stabbed five times on a street in Southampton, UK. And in the minutes that decided whether he lived or died, the police handcuffed him, the victim, because his killer told them he was the aggressor and called him a racist. They did not believe Henry when he said he had been stabbed and could not breathe many times. By the time they understood, he was gone.

His death was not just the failure of a few individuals at the scene. It was the failure of a system that has lost its moral compass. A system of murderous empathy. A court has since ruled that the killer's story was, in the judge's own words, wholly false. The force has apologised for arresting a dying boy. But Henry is still dead.

For years our institutions have been shaped by ideas that sort people into fixed categories of victim and offender before the facts are known. These frameworks distort judgment at every level. Some learn to wield an accusation as a shield. Others, placed in authority, grow so afraid of being called biased that they abandon basic fairness and ordinary courage. The result is paralysis, confusion, and injustice, and on that night it was fatal.
This is not compassion. It is moral chaos, it is a true racism and it destroys real lives. It took Henry's. It will take more if we keep pretending nothing is wrong.

I honor Henry by refusing to look away. We owe him a society built on responsibility, equal treatment and same rules for everyone, and the courage to say plainly what is happening in front of us. Henry Nowak should still be alive.

Having a bad day so I picked a fight on the hobby farmers facebook page about chemicals. I told them that in science, a chemical is simply any substance with a definite composition, built from the 118 basic elements on the periodic table, now they all want to fight me.

There's something genuinely inspiring about watching the younger generation take an idea-sometimes nothing more than a spark
—and turn it into something real. Building a business from the ground up isn't easy. It takes grit, creativity, and a willingness to bet on yourself when nothing is guaranteed.
It's good to see. It gives you confidence that the spirit of building something from nothing is still alive and well.
Big respect to Kyler the Creator for the inspiration-check out his video on TikTok @kylerthecreator47. He's living proof that you can build something from nothing.
