Breaking news: Millions of ordinary Australians are not demanding a federal RC into the Bondi terrorist attack and are accepting the NSW RC and the Albanese government’s decision to hold an investigation into security failures. This is an exclusive you will not read about in the MSM.

With Handmaids Tale people focus on the shock of the mass rapes in the book and the show.
But how the regime came to be in power in that book keeps me awake at night because it is playing out in very intricate detail in our real lives right now.

Pitch for a new spy movie: a CIA agent spends years getting close to a terrorist suspect then just before he gets the crucial piece of evidence he’s fired and replaced with a teenager who doesn’t speak any foreign languages but does have a lot of followers on X.

As I scroll through my feed I’m seeing so many posts like this below.
I can’t describe the feelings it gives me. I remember the days 45 years ago of marching on the footpath, not on the road, we were arrested if we stepped on the road, and there’d be only a handful of white supporters.

Hey, while we're talking about erasing history:
In 1949 the US military held its first Aeriel Gunnery Competition, later known as "Top Gun."
The best of the best competed in dogfighting and other skills. The team that won, was the 332nd: The Tuskegee airmen.
So they refused to announce a winner🤡
