It’s easy to see why the advisory opinion of the United Nations International Court of Justice (the World Court) might give Foreign Minister, Penny Wong, a few matters for consideration. Some of the Court’s findings include that Israel’s continued presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory is unlawful, that all states are under an obligation not Continue reading »
With AUKUS, the pride of politicians has become an obstacle to reaching the best solution to the ‘national security’ conundrum. In the end, it could be that ego-driven reluctance to shift from entrenched positions results in the Australian people being delivered a disaster. Continue reading »

The Ted Talk: Not reading the room? Chutzpah? Or maybe the Opposition energy spokesman Ted O’Brien was simply unaware that he wasn’t speaking to the local town hall meeting, Sky after Dark or the Institute of Public Affairs. O’Brien’s pro-nuclear narrative in his presentation to the Australian Clean Energy Summit on Wednesday was no surprise. Continue reading »
“An almost daily occurrence. At least eight schools hit in the last 10 days, including six @UNRWA schools. The war robbed the girls and boys in #Gaza of their childhood & education. Schools must never be used for fighting or military purposes by any party to the conflict. Schools are not a target. The blatant Continue reading »
It makes sense for Beijing to expand the services sector, but none for the US to transfer higher productivity in services to lower one in manufacturing. So this is how Donald Trump repays his legions of fans in Taiwan, especially those from the ruling Democratic Progressive Party. “Taiwan took our chip business from us,” the Continue reading »

“MAGA Republicans are subjecting Vice President Kamala Harris to a barrage of racist and sexist attacks as she has stormed out in front as the likely 2024 nominee…GOP Rep. Tim Burchett of Tennessee said that “100 percent, she was a DEI hire” insisting of Biden’s choice of Harris: “When you go down that route, you get mediocrity.” — Rolling Stone, 7/22/24

This is especially true compared to Donald Trump, who has never been handed anything in his life.

The Biden campaign drove the Democratic Party into a ditch and speculation is rampant about grim prospects for the election. But little scrutiny has gone into examining how such a dire situation developed in the first place. Joe Biden was on a collision course with reality long before his abysmal debate performance led to his withdrawal from the race. “Several current and former officials and others who encountered him behind closed doors noticed that he increasingly appeared confused or listless, or would lose the thread of conversations,” the New York Times reported five days after the debate. Some had noticed the glaring problem months earlier but kept quiet. A culture of dubious loyalty festered far beyond the Biden White House.... Read more
