Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running.
This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

2025 in Review: Palestine, international law and Australia’s silence
In 2025, the crisis in Palestine brought international law to a breaking point. Australia’s response, marked by caution and inaction, raises hard questions about responsibility, principle and moral leadership.

A better headline?!
Why Israel’s GENOCIDE continues.
Israel is a brutal, murderous, psychopathic, criminal nation that doesn’t care at all for others, and especially not for Palestinians.

Another day where the taxpayer funded ABC morphs into another organ of Newscorp. Sabra Lane regurgitating the preferred RW post Bondi narrative. No scrutiny of Segal’s report. Incurious on the behavior of Israel in the Middle East as a root cause. Just relentless Labor bashing. #RNBreakfast

In pre-sentencing hearings, Judge Lyon (noted in trial coverage) highlighted the victim's integrity amid Silvagni's deliberate deceptions, including forging an Uber receipt and gaslighting. The prosecution emphasized his lack of empathy and entitlement, December 17, 2025.

John Howard pushed for the invasion of Iraq, which was one of the dominoes which created the conditions for ISIS and caused untold human misery we are still dealing with today. He refused to acknowledge racism was a main driver of the Cronulla riots.

Are we in a recession?
Perhaps. Maybe. Hard to tell.
The Sahm Rule focuses on the 3-month average unemployment rate, and asking if it's risen half a point above its year-long low.
The low was 4.0% in January.
The latest (average of Sept & Nov, with Oct missing): 4.5%.
That's +0.5%.

Maybe police and security services should have spent less time harassing peace protesters and more time looking into IS-affiliated guys with multiple weapons who went to the Philippines for terrorist training…?

It's bad.
Payrolls fell -105k in October and rose +64k in November. August and September payrolls were also revised down a total of 33k.
These data suggest VIRTUALLY NO EMPLOYMENT GROWTH since April ("Liberation day").
Unemployment is now up to 4.6%.
This is a tricky report, so stay tuned.

Who the fuck would listen to Howard push back against gun reform in the wake of the biggest tragedy in decades (and no one is saying it’s just gun reform which is needed, ofc hate in all forms, including anti-Semitism is horrendous) and come to the conclusion that THIS is the take?!

Very sad news coming to us here in Queensland from NSW Bondi Beach. Thoughts with all.
There will be media speculation in coming days, weeks, months & years. The office of the NSW Coroner is the only one that can establish the facts here.
Plz don't react to anything in media.
