pearlsandirritations.com/post/2026/06... Israel's influence over US foreign policy is weakening as the political costs of unconditional support rise, and that may also reshape the pro-Israel lobby's power in Australia.

Monoculturalist rhetoric is ramping up — and its more confused than ever www.crikey.com.au/2026/06/29/p... Hanson’s avid support for monoculturalism mightn't be as popular as anticipated, by roping in the Socceroos (during the World Cup), who remain the poster children of radical multiculturalism.

Bridget McKenzie is no Pauline Hanson. She clearly wishes she was www.crikey.com.au/2026/06/29/b... Perhaps it’s time for McKenzie to whip out the red hair dye. It might be the best way to get noticed in our increasingly crowded far-right field, in which Hanson appears to have been kissed by fire.

Plain brown paper bags are now back in vogue.

It's pretty much an admission of guilt.

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... The QLD LNP’s unapologetically regressive moves on Indigenous issues, crime, transgender healthcare and police-led suppression of protests are a throwback to days of the “hillbilly dictator”, the former premier Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen.

Wow...Trump appears to be confusing a USA Passport with a USA Visa, which is consistent with his lack of knowledge on how the USA government works.

These geniuses don’t seem to realize passports are for American citizens, when they LEAVE the country 🤦🏼

We are living in a time of emboldened racism. It's like the 1950s, only sadder because we actually went through a few decades when most people knew better. (Or at least knew to keep quiet in public.)

What does this say about the voters of America that continue to support and believe this guy?

The Justice Department has been ordered to either unredact names of “potential co-conspirators” mentioned in certain Epstein files by next Thursday.

That’s not at all true @SpeakerJohnson. That’s a lie. You’re lying. Why would a self-proclaimed good, faithful Christian like you lie like this?

Please keep telling me how democratic socialist politicians are wrong for opposing the targeting of children. Somehow we're evil antisemites for opposing this.

Israel’s murderous right wing government is being allowed to plan their systematic genocide directed at Palestinians and now Lebanese. Taking every opportunity to kill & eliminate all aspects of Palestinian & Lebanese society & then steal what is left of their homeland.🇵🇸🇱🇧

The Commission said evidence including precision gunfire, injury patterns and the use of sniper rifles, drones and quadcopters capable of visually identifying targets indicated deliberate targeting.

Am I being over-sensitive here or does the term “side effects” have an inherent negative connotation and therefore this headline is sci-comm malpractice? The “side effects” are reduced risk of serious cardiac complications and reduced risk of all-cause cardiac events. Benefits. That’s the word.
