They had 4 full years to do something. They did nothing.
The same will happen for the 4 years after Trump, nothing.

Trump bombs a girls school.

Obama bombed a hospital.

It is simply the way USA is.

The same as during Obama time, when they bombed an hospital run by Medicins Sans Frontiers. That is the way USA is.

Wait. They are releasing Epstein files to distract Americans from the war in Iran now?

People waste time with the puppets, and forget the puppeteer.
Kristi is just a puppet. She goes, another comes. The puppet master is still there.

One can be single and curl up in someone's lap and have the head soothingly stroked.

I wish you a quick recovery.

Right-wing media is pushing the narrative that the high price of the petrol is not because of the war, but because of the "price gauging" of the petrol stations.
Yeah, nah mate.

'I am shocked': Unpacking One Nation's spectacular rise in the polls Pauline Hanson's One Nation has seen the fastest polling rise in modern Australian politics. What is going on?

How did One Nation rise in the polls?

Simple. I have a guess: They conduct the poll by calling landlines ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿคฃ
You know the people who have and answer landlines.

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

Trump has never been good at polls. Even both times that he won.
Seems like people who vote for him candidly, are ashamed to admit it when asked in a poll.

I am afraid that Americans are so racists and religiously indoctrinated, that they will vote for him again.

OK, but we should not be paranoid towards progress.
The words "conservative" and "progressive" do not have just political meaning.

They want to secure another generation of customers on the expense of Australia's diversity and values.

There are no ideals. Everything is about making the sale.

Politics is just a smokescreen.

Why would 2GB be happy to marginalise thousands of Australian children from different background cultures? This doesn't help Australia and its values, nor the conservative cause, or LNP interests. The realisation came:

THIS IS ABOUT THE NEW GENERATION OF 2GB LISTENERS!!

26.02.2026 11:42 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Knowing that most Australian grandparents are conservatives, 2GB knows that they will "educate" their grandchildren with the conservative values. This way, a new generation of LNP voters will be recruited.

But, ... thinking more about this, it didn't feel about politics either.

"Grandparents will look after their grandchildren much better than the childcare centres, which have turned into leftist propaganda centres"

Aha! - I though- So, this is about politics. This is not about gradparents, children, education, welfare ...etc.

Seemed a bit odd that my argument was not very welcomed. I listened to the show a bit more, but my argument was not brought up.
It didn't make much sense to me, until ... it did.
Later in the show one argument was mentioned:

These kids is much better if they go to a childcare, so that can learn the Australian culture and language"
The gentleman, in not so gentle way said "OK, I will pass it on" and hung up the phone.
Not a "thank you", not a "have a nice day". Nothing.

I said:
"There are thousands of families that do not speak English at home. The children don't even watch Australian TV. If we leave these kids with their grandparents, who don't speak a single word in English, we will end up with children going to school with not knowing minimum Emglish.

OK, in theory sound great. But hang on, there is a massive issue. How come these guys are not discussing it? So I decided to call 2GB.
A gentleman answered and asked "What do you want to say?"

I tried calling Clinton Maynard at 2GB. Here is how it went:

By chance listening to 2GB, they were talking on how about grandparents should be paid to look after their grandkids. The care is better, plus grandparents get some extra money in this cost of living crisis

All those hypocritical musicians who like Michael Jackson (a pedophile), but want the PM to give a declaration about the president of USA (a pedophile, too)
