Matthew 7:5 (NIV): "You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye." - Jesus Christ, the grand master of #whataboutery. Only on Twitter is exposing hypocrisy not a virtue - don't accept it.

Trump's ambassador to the UN can't get the number of killed Iranian protesters right - because neither can Trump. In fact, in his UN speech this week Trump said an entirely new different figure - 10,000. That's the problem with making up atrocity lies to justify wars.
Terrible to see all these ambassadors to the UN walk out on Israel. Not nearly as many walked out on Iran yesterday — even after they machine gunned 40,000 of their own people.

One cannot help but note the relative absence of the intellectual depth and strategic breadth in Western leadership that former Singaporean diplomat Kishore Mahbubani brings so compellingly to contemporary global affairs......

The ‘progressive’ Elizabeth Warren signed this bizarre statement. “The People’s Republic of China presents a greater threat to American security and prosperity than ever before. According to public reporting, Chinese entities are providing the Iranian regime and its terrorist proxies with satellite imagery, technology and battlefield intelligence to target and kill American service members... The Chinese military continues its pressure campaign against our vital democratic partner Taiwan as President Trump has retreated from longstanding security commitments... Beijing also serves as the lifeline for Putin’s brutal war machine in Ukraine, providing the technology and oil revenue Moscow needs to manufacture the precision missiles and drones that terrorize Ukraine’s cities... “President Trump must end China’s access to the advanced chips and manufacturing equipment it needs to build dangerous AI systems. He must stand with Taiwan and not let China veto American support for Taiwan’s defense. He must press President Xi to stop supporting Putin’s war in Ukraine. Finally, he must confront President Xi about the resources Beijing has given Iran that have led to the killing of American service members.” Dear lord. If that’s progressive, I dread to think what ‘reactionary’ looks like.

Tonight at an award ceremony, Peter Thiel is asked why he considers himself German. Thiel mentions speaking German until age 12 but doesn’t say he was not in Germany but SW Africa in an apartheid town pretending to be a Nazi village. The everyday greeting was “Heil Hitler.”
If you’ve ever wondered why Peter Thiel is such a Nazi, or why he creates coercive stories like the Singularity, QAnon & Dark Enlightenment, he grew up in a town in SW Africa which LARPed as Nazi Germany through the 70s. This is how a young, gay chess player grew up. Peter Thiel learned to hate people like himself—and to greet people with “Heil Hitler!” as instructed. Then he moved to America at 11. He hated it so much he resolved to destroy it and make it closer to his childhood in Swakopmund.

MUST WATCH! Aussies who support @PaulineHansonOz want real change but she's now shown she'll sell them out to corporate power. Gas $ = cost of living crisis. She ALWAYS supported Aussies getting first use of our own gas. Until gas baron Gina's gifts.🤬 piped.video/5qTLO6EOMpo?si=zhEJ…

For those claiming that they don't believe Tucker when he said that Trump casually dismissed the risks of the Iran war by saying: "In the end, we're all dead anyway," Trump has publicly expressed the same nihilism on prior occasions:
Tucker Carlson recounts a private meeting where Donald Trump dismissed serious concerns over a potential war with Iran by casually telling him, "In the end, we're all dead anyway." "I said to him, shocked, 'But what about our kids, our grandkids, our country?'

The contrast between the way the ATO treats small business vs big business is criminal. The ATO is happy to crush small businesses over cents; but they "negotiate" - get on their knees and beg - with huge multinationals to pay cents on the dollar on billions in upaid taxes.
The ATO have just grown a third asshole.

How Every Major Party BOWED To The Gas Cartel | Citizens Report 24 Sep 2026 This week Elisa Barwick and Richard Bardon expose the "Great Gas Betrayal", how every major political party has caved to the gas cartel. Pauline Hanson tabled a gas reservation bill in March 2026, demanding Australian gas benefit Australians first. Weeks later, she received a light aircraft donated by Gina Rinehart. By June, One Nation had abandoned its own gas policy calling gas reservation a threat to "domestic" companies, including Senex Energy, which is 51% foreign-owned and 49% owned by Rinehart's Hancock Prospecting. hubs.li/Q04yjlMy0

Interesting. I'm glad he did this, showing how baseless the "Russian disinformation" narrative is, and has always been. But for his opponent to cite Australia's security head, ie ASIO boss Mike Burgess, as the authority shows how much of a propagandist Burgess is.
The entire "Russian disinformation" fraud taken apart like a lego set lIve on British TV- Zia Yusuf, Reform UK's spokesperson for home affairs challenged his ( ex senior BBC) opponent to name a single British issue blamed on Russia? "Im not answering that question"

What sort of a dirty government puts out a media release about watered-down anti-corruption laws at 7.38pm the night before a public holiday and long weekend for the AFL grand final? No mention of @BenCarrollMP's promised new definition of corruption for IBAC that captures behavior that constitutes a serious breach of public trust. @IngridStitt should be embarrassed to have put her name to a stunt like this. #vicpoll @VICLiberalTeam @OneNationVic

You'd think after nearly 80 years journalists would have learned to cope with the fact that the ruling party of the Peoples Republic of China is the Communist Party of China and that it displays a flag in its HQ.
Exclusive: A group of Australian politicians, including the Federal Parliament’s speaker, have posed in front of the Chinese Communist Party flag during a formal visit to the organisation’s Beijing headquarters. thenightly.com.au/politics/a…

That ABC BYD “hack” deserves a lot more context. The vehicle was handed to a cybersecurity expert for TWO WEEKS specifically so he could find a way into it. The ABC then demonstrated the attack under controlled conditions. Yet the headline is “We got a cybersecurity expert to hack this BYD. It was too easy.” What actually happened? The expert gained access to functions including lights, wipers, speakers and infotainment. But he could NOT access critical systems such as the brakes, which the ABC itself says were well protected. Then there’s the dramatic Siri demonstration. The journalist deliberately left an UNLOCKED iPhone in the vehicle after the hacker had recorded his voice. The car speakers were then used to play commands to Siri. That hardly demonstrates some uniquely Chinese EV vulnerability. Connected cars, remote apps, microphones, GPS, cellular connections and OTA software aren’t unique to BYD or even EVs. In fact, the ABC eventually gets to the real issue: Australia has no minimum cybersecurity standards for connected cars, and former national cyber security adviser Alastair MacGibbon called for better protection of data collected by ALL connected vehicles. So test BYD. Absolutely. But apply the same methodology to Toyota, Tesla, Hyundai, Ford and every other major connected vehicle manufacturer and publish the results. Cybersecurity standards should be based on technology and demonstrated risk, not whether there’s a battery under the floor or which country appears on the badge. That would be a genuinely useful investigation.
