Well said Craig. Petty excuses to justify more slaughter. No doubt those Iaraeli hostages were killed by the typical and constant indiscriminate Israeli bombings on Gaza ~Seventy thousand innocents. Now buried deep in rumble it must be a big task to find and retrieve those "collateral damage"...

All this global build up of arms is a worry. Trump wants more testing and refinement of US Nuclear Weapons programs to match the pace of other major powers, like ... . U no who ... Perhaps Petty Putin's Nuclear powered torpedo got a rise out of President Trump. I'm not sure it can carry a nuke...

Didn't Reagan sort of end the Cold War by sending the USSR bankrupt? Good clip, thanks Craig, and the implied resistance to Machiavellian Narrissists out for Greed and Authoritarian political narratives.... And how come Japanese big beautiful deals with Trump's US now get 0% tariffs? Come on...

I know what you mean about the poor pay. I've recently reconnected with an old school chum who went into acting, directing plays, ... some tv, teaching but at 69 he's still having to work and rent, ...

Trump's so dumb being fooled again and again by Putin. He's so dumb he doesn't know he's dumb imo. In fact, he's convinced he's a genius. 😂 Pity he knows naff all about basic economics. Ronald Reagan knew his economics and how destructive tariffs are to those who set them. Canada playing Reagan...

Kevin oh seven had an acid tongue very often, as we know, but I liked his descriptions of Trump. Maybe best Kevin come home or another diplomatic mission. Perhaps we could send our big gunners in Abbot or Dutton to shirt front Trump. Joking, soft diplomacy and praising/adoring childish Trump...

That's great News Craig. We Aussies often punch our weight. I know you know a lot about theatre and films, more than me for sure. Pity Trump's put huge tariffs on movie exports to the US. To add to that just north 5km north of me in Perth is a huge Film Studios facility with its construction...

That's great News Craig. We Aussies often punch above our weight. To add to that just 5km north of me in Perth is a huge Film Studio facility almost constructed. The most significant new film production in Perth is the Perth Film Studios, a major state-funded facility under construction in...

On a serious note from my favourite Science web page and free subscription 'Nature briefing'. Brazil “shows how better policy can make a difference” when it comes to defending rainforests, argues an editorial in The Economist. As we approach the United Nations climate conference, COP30...

That was a great result with flogging our rare earth minerals to the US. Mainly because China won't sell their rare minerals to the US. Thanks Xi, we'll do it. We have a continent full of them. I wonder if the US will put tariffs on these exports to them?🤑

Thanks guys, "Life wasn't meant to be easy" as rightly said ex Aussie Liberal/conservative PM Malcolm Fraser. I actually voted for him back in our fading past, when young and foolish. 🤭 I'm still foolish. He was good for Australia and had a good heart, especially shown in his humanitarian work...

Just heard today Trump is having third thoughts about giving Tomahawks to Ukraine. He must have spoken to someone else me thinks. 🤔

Trump is the World's greatest Boaster! His "Greatest Peace Deal in 3000 years" is rubbish.

Sorry to read your insomnia is back Craig. I get a bit of it too, but only occasionally, it leaves me feeling wretched the next day. Crikey, it's getting hot in your Sydney so early. It was 31 C here yesterday and rainy and cold today. I've got my gas heater on. Barnaby was twice deputy leader...

Poor old Barneby Joyce is about to quit the Nationals being in conflict with the National's leader David Littleproud, and being sidelined. So like ex Labor's leader Mark Latham he might take up with Pauline Hanson's "One Nation" party. He's a larger than life character, even passed out on a...
