A universal 'Thank You' to all the people who have followed me, or followed back; your interest in my comments, random thoughts, images and oft-rants concerning social inequality and injustice is truly appreciated.

'It's the simple things in life that are often the best'.

"Trump’s arguments for deploying the Guard “risk blurring the line between civil and military federal power,” judge Karin Immergut warned."

I think it's time the US military took a stand with the American people rather than standing against them! 😎

The Destruction of One of America’s Oldest Traditions

America has always had a strong aversion to seeing the military on the country’s streets. That is not stopping the current president.

Canaries.
My @smh cartoon.

Two scenes. 1: advisor to Albo at his desk: “Sir, I must inform you that our canaries-in-the-coal-mines of climate change, transparency, accountability and social equity are all looking sickly…” PM: “Hmm…”
Scene 2: Albo at a lectern with press around: “…and that’s why my government is proud to announce the development of a new SUPER BREED of canaries…”

More blatant mischief from the miscreant of modern motoring as self-promoted neo-Nazi Herr Musk tells another bundle of lies to deceive consumers and the stock market ... the sooner he migrates to Mars the better! 😂😇😎

Wow, Tesla just continues to blow it big-time. Repeatedly, earlier this year, the company’s full-time douchebag / part-time CEO said there were *two affordable new models” coming out before the end of June. They’re finally announced today and they’re new (boring) trims, not new models at all. Lies.

I've long associated myself with Towlie's no-schitt attitude ever since he first appeared on South Park, and if you're not familiar with his "clear-eyed" view of the world, then take heed of his words below as he speaks to truth ... the clown POTUS is a not firking joking, so be aware! 😖☹😎

dumb rednecks here have pissed off the world for years "the idiot americans" and now we have a joke pretending to be president that has made our allies laugh in our faces
unless our military stops helping him, being peaceful will get you killed faster. they're not gonna stop.

This exchange between Governors Greg Abbott and Gavin Newsom is astonishing and deeply revealing.

When governors threaten to deploy their National Guard across state lines, it’s not just politics, it’s a constitutional crisis in real time.👇

I freely admit to finding many of the practices of fundamentalist Muslims alarming and antiquated; but killing so many innocents is no answer ... I know and you know there is NO EASY ANSWER, and the annals of history demonstrate this to be true. 😢😟😎

David J. @mallee-man.bsky.social · 1d

While I remain neutral on a dispute that has essentially raged on for the past 1500 years, this latest round of killings is inhuman and unjustified.

Furthermore, to equate lost $$$billions to support such racial cleansing activities is abhorrent in the extreme ... children's futures are priceless!

Who wants a bet this effort struggles to get the support it needs to make a difference?

Australians are one of the biggest gamblers in the world, destroying lives and wrecking families ... but govt so reliant on revenue they can't give it up; a fiscal addiction! 🫣😡😤😎

✍️ Ban gambling ads now

Almost 1 in 3 Aussie kids aged 12 to 17 are already gambling. And the industry is flooding their screens with ads to hook them for life. It’s time to protect kids and take gambling ads off our screens...

Given her hunger for money, I'm surprised Gina hasn't jumped on the renewables bandwagon and started her own farms; after all, what's better than generating money from free sunshine? ... Oh that's right, paying little-to-no-taxes on profits from Australians' natural resources! 😑🙄😳😎

Imagine being this stupid!

To make the comment: "The judge's opinion is untethered in reality and the law" without hint of irony, and to maintain a straight face through it all, demonstrates just how unhinged from reality and current social issues she really is ... stupid is what stupid does! 🤪😉😎
