Over the last year, three of the four most powerful navies[1] in the world have suffered humiliating defeats at the hands of opponents with no navy at all. First, there’s Russia’s Black Sea Fleet. Until the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, it was regularly touted as a decisive factor in any conflict, capable not […]

My God: So in order to kill one suspected “armed Hamas operative” they targeted a convoy of aid workers? This is how it’s being done? They had to kill this one guy so if a bunch of foreign volunteers were in his presence too bad? Well, I guess we knew that, didn’t we? They haven’t even made any effort to avoid hitting children so why would they care about aid workers whom they clearly see as aiding and abetting terrorists. I suppose the kids are too just by being foolish enough to be born Palestinian. There is no level of outrage to condemn this strongly enough.
When it comes to tinkering with nature, our résumé is a list of breathtaking mistakes.

There is no limit to what they will do to lick his boots This is not an April Fools joke: A group of House Republicans is pushing to rename Washington, D.C.’s, main international airport after former President Trump. Rep. Guy Reschenthaler, R-Pa., the House GOP’s chief deputy whip, introduced the bill Friday along with six cosponsors. “In my lifetime, our nation has never been greater than under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump,” Reschenthaler told Fox News Digital. “As millions of domestic and international travelers fly through the airport, there is no better symbol of freedom, prosperity and strength than hearing ‘Welcome to Trump International Airport’ as they land on American soil.” A group of House Republicans is pushing to have Dulles International Airport renamed for former President Trump. (Spencer Platt/Getty Images | Daniel Slim/AFP via Getty Images) Legislative text obtained by Fox News Digital on Monday showed that, if passed, “the Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia shall after the date of the enactment of this Act be known and designated as the ‘Donald J.
Were we better off? I know that I felt very reassured to know that Trump’s fey son-in-law was handling the logistics of the pandemic crisis.

Contrary to Hollywood depictions, Army psyops are an understaffed and ineffective mess.

Australian school teachers have let out a collective scream, upon the realisation that the World’s longest term still has a week and a half to go. ”Oh, dear God please end this term,” cried Launceston Primary school teacher Mary Chalk.... Read More ›

Boy, that sounds really bad, doesn’t it? The allegedly reformed Frank Luntz who is on TV all the time as a supposed “Never Trumper” is kindly pointing out a real blind spot in the Biden campaign. Well, actually not: It is President Biden’s 10th trip to WI as president and 3rd this year. He was in Milwaukee 3 weeks ago and has announced a trip to Madison on Monday. That tweet has been up for hours and is still not deleted or corrected despite a correction by the community and tons of push back. As Trump would say, he’s “disinformating” and I’m pretty sure he’s doing it on purpose. This guy is one of the slimiest GOP operatives of the past 30 years and he’s never really come clean.
The catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza is unremitting and in fact rapidly deteriorating. Given that the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip is now on the brink of famine, South Africa has requested the Court to indicate further provisional measures and/or to modify the measures indicated on 26 January 2024. Starvation, and the resulting loss Continue reading »
The Israeli army carried out a massive, shockingly horrific military operation in Al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City over the course of the past two weeks, indiscriminately targeting and attacking Palestinians regardless of their civilian status, professional standing, gender, age, or health condition. Though the exact number of casualties from the atrocity is still unknown, Continue reading »
When AUKUS was announced, the ANU was quick off the mark to cash in. It seems that the Universities of Sydney and Nottingham, through the United States Study Centre, also want to pursue a new business line: the creation of “social licence” for government policies, new technologies and new products. They plan to monetise a Continue reading »
Weaponising a real fear in the West of being called or being seen as “antisemitic”, while simultaneously exploiting long-entrenched anti-Arab prejudice, the Israeli government has successfully exempted itself from legitimate interrogation, reproach and effective sanctions for its unchecked expansionist ambitions and inhumane, racist actions against Palestinians. The oldest newspaper in Israel is Haaretz, published daily Continue reading »
The 24 hours media news cycle clouds the minds of people, perpetrators and hapless victims alike, to the future dimension, whether that of future generations or of the natural world itself. During the 20-21st centuries, as mean global temperature keeps rising toward 4oC, a failed brain neuron or a damaged computer chip can trigger a Continue reading »
The government’s new legislation represents a sledgehammer approach to twin immigration removal problems – non-cooperation by people who don’t want to be removed from Australia on the one hand and non-cooperation by their country of citizenship on the other. These problems are quite tricky, but they are not new. Alternative approaches are needed. In the Continue reading »
In just four years since the advent of COVID-19, Australia’s house prices have climbed by a dizzying 50%. Defying orthodox expectations that property inflation would be quelled by rising interest rates, that upward trend has continued even since the RBA’s monetary tightening phase began in mid-2022, with prices up by 12% in that period alone.

Callum Thomas, editor of Top-Down charts sums it up well – “Sentiment is increasingly consensus bullish. Bears have all but gone extinct. Large and small investors alike are basically all-in. Tech stock valuations have surpassed the 2021 peak. Downside volatility has collapsed. Overall, the evidence is all consistent with what you typically see during a Continue reading »
