This is the most deserving case for global uproar over human rights

Fair play to Anne Hegerty from the Chase game show. Someone had to say it. The Greens have just voted that Zionism is racism, then told Jewish members not to take it personally. She answered Carla Denyer in one line: “Tell you what. Get your Muslim members to promise they will never attend a mosque that criticises homosexuality. Then we’ll talk.” That’s it. That’s the double standard, said out loud. One lot get told their faith is a problem. The other lot don’t even get asked. Glad a public figure still has the nerve to speak out for what is right. Well Done Ann 👏👏👏

To accept Islam is to insult your own intelligence.

David Koch at Compare the Market just ran the numbers. They’re brutal. A single first-home buyer on $108k who could borrow $645,000 in February is now down to $589,777. Another hike before Christmas and it’s $577,026. A couple on $217k who could borrow $1.23 million at the start of the year? Slammed to $1.099 million by Christmas. That’s $131,000 wiped off their purchasing power in nine months. @Albo and @ClareONeilMP spent a year telling first home buyers they’d “fixed” housing. 5% deposits. CGT. Negative gearing. A fair go. Then the RBA hiked four times. Cash rate 4.60%. Highest since 2011. First home buyer loan applications have crashed 20% in a year. The 5% scheme lured people in with almost no equity, now two in five qualifying Sydney properties have already dropped more than 5%. Melbourne’s worse. Negative equity isn’t a theory. It’s the product. And they’re still spruiking tax changes that don’t even start until mid-2027 while Koch’s numbers are happening right now. Cheaper houses mean nothing if the bank just took six figures off what you can borrow. They didn’t help first home buyers. They shrank the loan, sank the equity, and called it reform. YOU CANT HATE LABOR ENOUGH

I still remember the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States. The very next day, 9/11 became a topic in the mosque. People were celebrating, saying, “Alhamdulillah, the kuffar will be wiped out! In Sha Allah!” I was young. I didn’t understand the weight of what I was hearing. Looking back now, I’m ashamed that I was ever part of a belief system where the deaths of thousands of people could be met with celebration. But I try not to blame my younger self. I was born into Islam. I was raised in it. I was taught to believe it before I was old enough to question it. I carried it into adulthood until I finally started questioning everything and walked away. I didn’t choose the religion I was born into. I chose to leave it.

How old do you think she is? 6? 7? Her father says he married her off because they wanted to get a bride for his son but they didn’t have enough money. So basically, they sold the little girls, got the marriage portion for her from her “husband”, and bought a girl for her older brother. This is why we say women and girls are chattel in Islam. Look at her face. My rage could burn this whole world down. Oh how I dream of revenge!

The West: Why did you commit the terror attack? Terrorist: My religion dictates it. The West: So climate change? Terrorist: No, my religion. The West: So beard bullying? Terrorist: No, my religion. The West: So, violent video games then? Terrorist: No, my religion. The West: So, American imperialism then? Terrorist: No, my religion. The West: So the Zionist entity forced you to defend yourself? Terrorist: FFS, it's MY RELIGION. Conclusion from the West: Terror attacks stem from a confluence of paleo-botanical-sociocultural-ethnopolitical forces that requires a nuanced analysis. What is absolutely clear though is that this has nothing to do with religion.

Anyone who actually understands Neuro-Linguistic Programming can see it immediately. The incongruence between words and physiology. The overcalibrated language. The sudden shifts in predicates and representation systems. The lack of sensory-specific detail when it matters most. This man is not just spinning a story. He’s running a pattern. And once you see the pattern, you can’t unsee that he’s a liar and a fraud.

Italia, non chiedere mai scusa per essere l’Italia. Tu sei Roma. Dante. Leonardo. Michelangelo. Galileo. Verdi. Sei il marmo trasformato in bellezza, le rovine trasformate in memoria e secoli di civiltà che ancora oggi fanno fermare il mondo ad ammirarti. Quindi, quando Giorgia Meloni @GiorgiaMeloni sostiene che l’Italia abbia il diritto di difendere la propria identità e di richiedere che i volti restino visibili nelle scuole, giudicate questa posizione per ciò che realmente sostiene. E da arabo musulmano, non posso fare a meno di sorridere quando una parte della sinistra italiana cerca di essere più musulmana dei musulmani e più araba degli arabi. Paesi a maggioranza musulmana come l’Egitto e la Tunisia hanno imposto restrizioni sul fatto che i bambini possano coprirsi il volto nelle scuole. Allora perché, se in una scuola italiana si richiede che un insegnante possa vedere il volto di uno studente, questo dovrebbe improvvisamente essere considerato ostilità verso l’Islam? Non potete pretendere che l’Italia sia più permissiva, sul piano religioso, degli stessi Paesi musulmani e poi definire gli italiani intolleranti semplicemente perché pongono delle domande. No, proteggere le vostre scuole non è «islamofobia». Contrastare l’estremismo islamista non è «islamofobia». I Fratelli Musulmani hanno creato il termine «islamofobia» per impedire alla vostra democrazia di criticare gli islamisti radicali e per indurvi a chiamare un terrorista «attivista». La parola «islamofobia» non deve mai diventare un telecomando con un tasto “muto” per ogni discussione scomoda sull’islamismo. È qui che una parte della sinistra italiana capovolge clamorosamente la questione: nel tentativo di dimostrare a tutti i costi la propria tolleranza, rischia di trattare l’identità stessa dell’Italia come l’unica identità che debba continuamente chiedere scusa. Non spetta ai Fratelli Musulmani stabilire i confini del dibattito europeo. Perché state cercando di avere più estremisti musulmani del Medio Oriente? L’Italia non ha bisogno del permesso di nessuno per restare italiana. L’Italia non è «Italianistan». È l’Italia. Bella. Antica. Fiera. Libera. Roma è sopravvissuta agli imperi. L’Italia non dovrebbe avere paura delle etichette.

RT @mr_apoptosis: 70,000 people have been brutally killed by this regime, and you’re still supporters of theirs. Shame on you. Do you call…

Just checked media coverage of the damning revelations from the Motaz Azaiza interview: CNN site: 0 mentions NBC News: 0 mentions Reuters: 0 mentions AP: 0 mentions NYT: 0 mentions Washington Post: 0 mentions All of these orgs have repeatedly promoted him in the past.

This is what happens when a world leader is inconsequential.

This is misogyny

Sydney Sweeney is the funniest stress test feminism has ever encountered bc I was taught that tHE PaTriArChY reduces women to their bodies, denies them individual agency and imposes rules on female sexuality based on what everyone else thinks women ought to be. Meanwhile Sydney is independently wealthy, produces her own projects, owns businesses, chooses to monetize her own sexuality, gains power from doing it and appears completely uninterested in anyone’s permission. And somehow the feminist response is thousands of women materializing to explain that her body is AcksHuAllY a collective political resource and she has a responsibility to use it in ways they approve of bc otherwise she’s “setting women back 100 years” (fucking LOL) So congratulations ladies! You defeated the patriarchy by becoming an enormous decentralized committee of women policing another woman’s sexuality, scolding her for appealing to men and reminding her that her individual choices must remain subordinate to what is best for Women As A Class. Perhaps the funniest part is that the men supposedly enforcing this grand patriarchal system are mostly standing off to the side like “Sydney seems great, let her cook” while the Feminist Liberation Committee is furiously drafting new regulations for what she’s allowed to do with her own gigantic knockers. Incredible operation. You guys are fucking killing it. Extremely boss babe. Very liberation. No notes.

Albo’s favourite story: poor little council-house kid, mum crippled with rheumatoid arthritis, sliding down the stairs on her arse every morning because she couldn’t walk them. He tells it like a morality play like he’s Gandhi. What he doesn’t mention is that in 1990, aged 26, he bought a house in Marrickville and moved out. She stayed in the Camperdown council house she had been born in in 1936 and lived in for 65 years. Same stairs. Same disability pension. Same address he later turned into a political prop. He was born at St Margaret’s Hospital, Darlinghurst, then raised in that house. He left it. She didn’t. She died there in 2002. She collapsed in the laundry of that house on Mother’s Day 2002 and died in hospital two weeks later. Still on the disability pension. Still in public housing. Still with the stairs he loved talking about. Still suffering with the crippling rheumatoid arthritis he uses to score points with. Meanwhile he was already on the property ladder. Today he rents out homes, lives rent-free at The Lodge, and bought a $4.3 million clifftop place on the Central Coast. The man who never moved his own mother off those stairs now lectures the country about housing and “leaving no one behind.” He left her behind. On the stairs. For twelve years. Then cashed in the story and gave us crocodile tears!! Actually pathetic. This farktard using his own mother to try and score political points with the public!!

the apple does not fall far from the tree, Your dead beat dad left your mum to fend for herself, and you left her in a housing commission house while you bult up a property portfolio

Generational welfare with a side of entitlement. Mum left to slide down the stairs on her bum in an under-occupied taxpayer-funded family home, while Albo moved out, left her to die alone, built a property portfolio&thousands of families waited for housing. Shit son. Shit values

Thank you Pauline Hanson for your comments 9 months ago about mum overstaying as a houso. It has given me a lifeline. With my polls currently in the toilet I am desperate for sympathy and will milk everything I can out of this story. My word is my bond.

Is it normal for the media to create emotionally manipulative clips like this on behalf of the Prime Minister to attack his political opponent? In bad faith, might I add. The podcast in question is from January and the exact quote is: “Housing commission houses should not be there for people to live in them for 30, 40 years and he said his mother lived in the same one she was born in for 65 years.” Her argument was that public housing should be temporary assistance and be made available to others in need when one’s circumstances improve. A perfectly valid point. Now, by all accounts Albanese’s mother had a difficult life. I don’t doubt that she was a wonderful woman and was deserving of the assistance she received. I am actually very moved by her story, and I personally think relatives should be totally left out of debates like this, especially when you don’t know their full circumstances. But understand that this is not organic. Remember, this podcast was from January. A fatwa has been put out on Pauline Hanson and her allies and it appears the SMH/Age and the Australian are determined to lead the charge albeit for different reasons. They are searching for narratives and vectors of attack that stick and think they have found one with this “nastiness” line. The only issue is that is this is politics. It’s a nasty business and there are few better at it than the Labor Party and their allies in the media.
