@Balder998 @BowTiedMara @acrashiscoming It has always been this way. To allow enough days between each match, as players need a minimum of three days between games to recover for the next one. Football people are aware of this as, unlike a World Cup or Euros, events which run over four weeks the Olympics have only two

I don’t get it. Biden has done a fantastic job as president and seen us through some of the toughest times in recent history. The economy is strong, unemployment is at 60-year lows, inflation is tamed. But there are people calling for that youngster to drop out? (I have 6 years on him…) Why aren’t they calling on the guy who’s been indicted in four places and charged 91 times to drop out?

It's tragically easy to see why @JNampijinpa is the ONLY First Nations woman who is praised, feted, courted by the IPA and RW media. She says what they want to hear. She says what they don't dare say themselves, but adore to applause. Listen to the people she denigrates! They are our heroes. #VoteYesAustralia

“WOW okay so the most amazing thing just happened to me and I can’t help but share it with the world. American Airlines instituted a new policy where you have to pay to take a carry-on onto the plane.

Which is ridiculous but off topic.

I consolidate my bags into one and they measure it and say it’s just a little too big. They proceed to charge me $50, except they only take credit card, no cash. Since I just got back from Europe all my cards are being declined as Chase doesn’t know I’m back.

They tell me that I’m going to have to miss the flight and head back to the ticket counter to pay down there. I’m pleading, devastated after a long day of travel. Then, this man walks up and says, “How much is it?” They tell him $50 and he says “I got it.”

I’m astonished and tell him it’s fine not to worry and he hands the lady his card as the American Airlines employees stand in silence shocked by this man’s generosity. They swipe the card and he tells me to have a great flight and hop on board.

I’m crying as I write this and as I board the flight. This man was an angel. I stop him as he’s sitting in first class and try to give him my money but he just shook me off and told me to pay it forward.

My heart is so happy. There are good people in this world.

Be that person for someone because I know after this I sure will be.” 💕

WOW! Everyone needs to see this.

We have a President who passionately acknowledges the sacrifices and contributions made by people of color for this nation. We can’t go back to Trump!

Shameful that Singapore’s leaders continue to hang people for non-violent drug offences, joining countries like North Korea and Iran that still do so against evidence and better judgement.

[Dan Fangirl 🤓 @ChristyDanFan]

Dan’s feral press pack today were embarrassing. We know why the games were canceled. But today they literally asked the same questions at least 20 times. For the exact same answer that we already knew was coming, while Dan was there to make an announcement about a big housing build in regional Victoria. An issue that’s been talked about everyday. The whole press conference was nothing about that. It was about the so called journalists yelling over the top of each other, while receiving stuff on their phones from others with an opinion, then they’d raise that, and then we were off again. It went on and on and on, around in circles about a great big nothing. It was all about them trying to get the “gotcha” moment for their bulletin. Or for twitter. Or for praise from whoever. It was all about them. Not about the audience who wants to know the details about what Dan was announcing today.

But in all of this, Dan stayed as he always does. Didn’t lose his cool. Answered the same questions over and over again. Bravo, Dan.

The government creates atrocities and then shames us into changing the Constitution

To understand Australia's managed decline, just look at Wilcannia, once the "Queen of the West”. A thriving community, with a golf course; generous-sized sandstone shops, built to last forever; sitting alongside tree-lined; wide-country-sized streets. Today the shops are boarded up.

I was in Wilcannia for more than a year. I like the people there. They speak beautifully with the thickest Australian accent. They are genuine. They believe in old-fashioned values where their word is their bond. They believe in right and wrong.

Yet Wilcannia is not living up to its potential. It has a young population and so much to offer, sitting on billion-dollar mineral-rich land. Instead of a productive economy, taxpayers fund millions annually for 40 not-for-profits, to provide services that do not address the life-threatening human needs.

They don’t get the money. The globalist created aboriginal industry gets the taxpayer funds. They live it up while those they are meant to serve - die around them.

Wilcannia is in a constant state of mourning, a declining town and a dying community. There is a funeral every other week. Too much sadness too many deaths, in such a young population.

They are told the water is safe, yet their menstrual cycles stopped and their hair fell out. After decades of broken promises and lies. They do not believe the public servants’ reassurances that the water is safe. Refusing to drink toxic water, families search for “churchie” coins to scrap up $7 for a 5-litre flagon of drinking water. To have the privilege of not being poisoned to death.

The world’s lowest life expectancy is not found in Africa where an adult male lives to only 54. It is found in Wilcannia where a male can expect not to see his 34th birthday. So many deaths from losing hope and bad health. Christmas 2019 saw 10 deaths in 8 weeks from an Aboriginal population of 600 people.

Elders had enough, travelling more than 15 hours to arrive in Canberra in early 2020. Yet Anthony Albanese and Linda Burney refused to hear their voice. They slammed the door in their face.

Our Wilcannia family survey highlighted the practical nature of the needs: clean water, affordable food and power, privacy, housing and personal autonomy. Not Albo’s hidden agenda voice/treaty/truth. This is the truth.

Tragically, the Australian public is unaware of this because our political class is compromised and our media is bought.

There are 300,000 fake claimers as identified by Aboriginal researchers. Elders begged the government to address it. Instead of defunding the fake claimers, they went after us.

The message delivered by leading Wilcannia elder Sissy King is heartbreaking.

The government-funded leader of Wilcannia is a fake claimer called Badger Bates. Badger Bates killed Sissy’s auntie with the butt of his rifle. Warren Mundine made Badger Bates the leader of Willicannia by funding Badger against the elders' wishes.

Sissy King tells us the disgraceful truth. There were only 4 families on the Native title register. After Badger took charge, there are now 40. As CEO of NSW Native Title Services Mundine gave the power to a fake claimer killer.

We are not surprised that after finishing as CEO, Warren Mundine went on to work for billionaire WEF leader Andrew Forrest on yet another, unaccountable “Aboriginal” taxpayer-funded million-dollar, failed experiment.

This is a spinnennetz, a tangled web of lies spun. Full of deception and confusion. It's difficult to come to terms with, but we must stay united to UN-veil the betrayal, by UN-ravelling the lies together.

It has taken me more than 20 years to come to terms with this betrayal, after living in an Aboriginal community described as a "war zone". These destructive patterns are repeated across the country. There is a pre-planned solution to the dysfunction they created.

As a whistle-blower, I've spent 3 years UN-tangling the deceitful lies spun to divide and deceive the Australian people. It's disheartening to discover politicians from all sides lie to us. So don't give our compromised government more power by changing the Australian Constitution.

By all means, give up on our compromised political class of useful idiots. But do not lose hope in your countrymen.

We should unite on the cause of our discontentment.

Listen to the Elders. Come together as one.

[Really American ��🇸 @ReallyAmerican1]

TRULY INCREDIBLE: According to a brand new working paper/study by economists David Autor, Arindrajit Dube, and Annie McGrew, in the past two years alone, President Biden’s economic policies have wiped out a quarter of the wealth inequality that was built in the previous forty years, which were largely a result of Republican policies.

Ever since the Reaganomics of slashing tax rates for the wealthy and massive deregulation and anti-worker policies, the U.S. saw a huge increase in wealth inequality. But that's changing thanks to Biden and Democrats' economic policies. The economists detail how there has been a remarkably rapid compression in the US wage distribution, and a dramatic increase in real wages for the lowest income earners. This has done more to reduce income inequality than any President in modern American history.

The facts are clear every 👋 single 👋 time👋

Democrats create an economy that works for everyone, not just the richest Americans.

And President Biden's policies are working. Why don't you think this is bigger news?
