This weekly podcast by USA independent media UNCOVERED is always so informative & interesting.
Anthony Davis & Ron Filipowski present a discussion on politics & the lunacy of Trump’s presidency.
Trump is truly bonkers and the rest of the world knows it! https://t.co/8hXKC2JaPF

So Paulinemonoculture Hanson went to the press club last week - and I had a few thoughts on that

Trash talking

My latest article in The Shot @shot_au

In case anyone has forgotten/ignored what @AlboMP and @SenatorWong should have done immediately in January 2024, the moment the ICJ recognized the plausibility of genocide occurring in Gaza—in order to meet Australia's OBLIGATIONS under international law. #auspol #GazaHolocaust

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.”

A party made up of “white collar criminals”, “sex offenders” & “Nazis”🔥🎯

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

This is not a normal statement from a normal cabinet member of a major nation. 

This statement from Israeli National Security Minister Ben-Gvir is the statement of a war criminal. 

The racist, extremist Israeli government does not deserve one nickel of U.S. support.

Do you remember how politicians used to sleep out on the street for the night to support homeless/destitute people. The next day they would all go back to work & forget about it.
Here's an idea someone came up with that might have more meaning.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Australia is preparing for war too — preparing to be dragged into the much-anticipated US war of aggression against China.

Remember that when it comes, Defence Minister Richard Marles will be safe in the secure bunker at Bungendore — while your sons & daughters will lie bleeding on the sand.

‘Australia provides its largest-ever contribution to date for Exercise Balikatan 2026, deploying approximately 400 Australian Defence Force (ADF) personnel along with major naval and air assets.’

[DuchessFrida aka Deb @DuchessFrida]

Agree — ABSOLUTELY NOT 🤬

[David Shoebridge @DavidShoebridge]

Absolutely not.

[Dr Monique Ryan MP @Mon4Kooyong]

Today I moved to suspend standing orders over the government's failure to act on gambling harm.

The ask was simple: release the draft gambling laws for public consultation before the laws are passed.

The government voted no. And the Coalition? They didn't even show up.

More than 3 million Australians continue to be harmed by gambling advertising. Australians deserve better.

The repulsive Trump is now threatening to seize control of the Strait of Hormuz and run it himself. Really ? The silly prick can’t even renovate the 60cm deep Reflecting Pool in Washington DC.

[Dr Tracy Westerman AM @TracyWesterman]

The media has not bothered to thoroughly fact check Hansons National Press Club address so I’ve done it for them. 18 false and / or misleading statements. John Paul Janke was the journalist who pushed back on her claims and Sarah Martin questioned her about her daughters position as campaign advisor (rightly so) and was called a “trashy journalist” by Hanson and told she would be banned from future pressers. Nothing else was challenged by the so called journalists in attendance and she continues to be unchallenged on the facts in every interview she sits.

BREAKING:

Bangladesh and Malaysia prohibit entry of Israeli passport holders due to cutting diplomatic ties with it.

[Richard @ricwe123]

When the illusion finally shatters, what remains isn't disappointment,it's humiliation.

The man you poured your faith into was never a visionary, never a savior, never even remotely exceptional.
He was a hollow fraud wrapped in ego, fueled by noise, and sustained by endless self-promotion.

Every boast, every grand promise, every display of swagger crumbles the instant reality enters the room.
What looked like confidence was arrogance.
What looked like strength was insecurity.
What looked like leadership was little more than a carefully marketed illusion.

Scratch beneath the surface and there's no hidden brilliance, no master strategist, no misunderstood genius. Just an impulsive, self-absorbed figure stumbling from one failure to the next, desperately trying to drown incompetence in a torrent of bluster and spectacle.

In the end, the strongman image collapses into exactly what it always was: cheap theater.
A gaudy performance.
A caricature masquerading as leadership.
A salesman peddling an image he could never live up to.

And the hardest part isn't watching the act fall apart.
It's realizing how long you applauded it, defended it, and mistook obvious bullshit for substance.....

At the end of June, the halving of the fuel excise ends. It costs the government $212 million a week.

You know what raises $350 million a week in revenue? A 25% tax on gas exports!

Barbara Pocock doesn’t hold back on ex-KPMG CEO Andrew Yates who still refuses to admit he misled parliament about KPMG’s Power Mapping.
Yates “I really don’t want to go down that path again”
Pocock “I bet you don’t.”🔥 #auspol

Michael West, a very good journalist, reports stories that the old media are too lazy, too incompetent or - worst of all - too timid to cover.

@FetchStep So money to the Jewish community is more important than supplying water to a town of 5,000 people!
