Hannity getting owned by this protester is absolute joy…

🚨 NEW VIDEO πŸ‘‡πŸ½This puts an end to all the lies. Horrific.

They were having a calm exchange seconds before he murdered Renee Good, and she was barely moving and clearly avoiding him.

Stop the lies.

Shapiro: J.D. Vance is profoundly and pathetically a weak human being, and he does whatever he thinks his boss wants him to do.

What we need right now is not idiotic gaslighting from the sitting VP

He should be ashamed of himselfβ€”and he’s not. I think that speaks to the weakness of his character.

Note from a veteran police reporter:

NAMING law officers who use lethal force under any and every circumstance IS NOT doxxing. It is journalism. Officers who invoke lethal force are ID'd publicly as a standard -- or were when we were a republic. Asdress, no. Name, rank, posting, etc. -- yes.

Please read our important post on the upcoming Adelaide Writer’s Week after their cancellation of speaker Randa Abdul-Fattah.

Next week, we start our boycott of the Festival’s sponsors if nothing changes.

Are you in?

It's time to state clearly that if MAGA and Republicans can't condemn any part of this shooting, continue to blame the victim for it, and even hint that it's a just outcome that others "deserve," that's a crossing of the line that the rest of us won't ever be able to forget.

One of my goals in the remaining years of my career as a columnist is to be around when soulless sacks like this beg forgiveness and cry crocodile tears seeking redemption. I want to be there to tell them: No. Sit in your space on the wrong side of history and live with the cruel choices you made.

As an Australian this morning, I cannot tell you monstrous, horrific and inhumane the vile adults in this photo are. The fact that man is in the US Congress is a disgrace to everyone who voted for him, and the willingness of the parents to recruit their children into their monstrosity is sickening.

Can’t believe people are arguing whether the guy who took down one of the terrorists is Muslim or Christian.
WHY DOES IT BLOODY MATTER!
The guy is still a freakin HERO whether he is black, white, yellow, Muslim, Christian, Buddhist.
How many of us would have done what he did?

Jeffries: "You've got Leavitt, who's sick, she's out of control. I'm not sure if she's just demented, ignorant, a stone cold liar, or all of the above. But the notion that an official WH spokesperson would say that the D Party consists of 'terrorists, violent criminals & undocumented immigrants'..."

Given my social media posts I won’t be going to America anytime soon, not at least until tell Trump and his cronies are gone! So another three and a half years sadly.

How Netanyahu Prolonged the War in Gaza to Stay in Power

Exceptional timeline reconstruction by New York Times reporters here πŸ‘‡. Netanyahu sacrifices Israeli hostages to stay in power but security/peace for the state/people of Israel remains at grave risk in the hateful years ahead. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/11/m...

How in the rat-flogging fuck do we live in a country where people are right now blaming the women who put their kids into childcare instead of blaming the men who allegedly molested the kids while they were at childcare?

Magda Szubanski has announced she has cancer and because she doesn't share their extreme right-wing views, the Daily Mail has chosen to publish the most vile imaginable comments about her. They are pieces of shit, but you already knew that.

A #SOO #legend with the Encyclopedia of #Socceroos??? We love to see that!

Garry Jack with his uncle, Keith Learmonth, cap #136. Garry presented Keith with a copy of @andyhowe-statto.bsky.social's incredible book in hospital today. Keith is 92yo.

THIS MORNING - THE LIBERAL PARTY ROOM:

β€œWe need to get away from our reputation as the soft, incompetent party of Scott Morrison!”

β€œI’ve got just the candidates!”

So Sussan Ley becomes Liberal leader by a 4 vote margin, relying on the votes of 3 Liberals who will no longer be in the Senate after the end of June. There will also be a new Liberal Senator who is aligned to Angus Taylor once the new term begins. Watch this space πŸ‘€ #auspol #ausvotes
