I am curious if there is anyone here who would be willing to do a six month deployment to Congress where they just object to literally everything, direct their leg staff to force one impeachment vote a day, and deal with all the threats and bullying from the establishment until Trump is removed.

This exposé is breathtaking. Witkoff and Kushner do not just have conflicts of interest - thy are deeply woven into a web of Russian influence peddling by "investments". Money, personal ties and geopolitics have become indistinguishable.

Antony Green on Hinchinbrook: "The key feature of the result was the collapse in support for Katter’s Australian Party. The party’s primary vote was down 16.3%, a swing of 17.0% after preferences. LNP support was up 13.2%, and One Nation up 8.9% to 13.5%" www.crikey.com.au/2025/12/02/a...
Antony Green: Can we read the tea leaves of Katter's Australian Party and One Nation in the Hinchinbrook result?
The byelection result may point to Katter's Australian Party fading as a North Queensland party — and how disaffected voters could be turning to One Nation.

Ever wondered why Govt calls the US subs that’ll operate out of HMAS Stirling a ROTATIONAL FORCE? It’s because from 2034 they’ll likely carry nuclear cruise missiles, and if they were STATIONED here, we’d be in breach of our Treaty of Rarotonga obligations 1/2 #AUKUS #FOI #auspol
