Trump just announced that two million Palestinians will be forcibly removed from Gaza, and added:
"The U.S. will take over the Gaza strip ... create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area."
...it's about money. His money.

Logged onto my alt Rugby Twitter profile, one that I kept exclusively for Rugby content. It was my retreat from politics, and unfortunately most Rugby accounts aren't here yet.

The Australian Government spent a total of $550million to commemorate the 100 year anniversary of the First World War.
Spending $450,000 to celebrate 60,000 years of history is not a big price to pay.

Whatever your thoughts on Labor's joke, if you use your wife as a political crutch for an orchestrated PR campaign, you can't then recoil in horror when that same PR campaign becomes a point of attack for your political opponents.

Let us never forget that when the Syrian people fled a hell on Earth that most of us couldn't concoct in our worst nightmares... their desperation became political capital.

This is Syrian pro-democracy activist Mazen al-Hamada speaking after he escaped Syria in 2012.
In 2020, he was tricked into believing it was safe for him to return home so he could visit his family.
His tortured body has just been found in the infamous Sednaya Prison.

I am begging journalists, do not use "some X users" as any indication of public sentiment.
What was once "Twitter" is now nothing more than a cesspool of emboldened right-wing trolls that most reasonable people have largely abandoned.

The bible explicitly forbids bestiality 3 times, with the punishment being death.

Which means the bible offers greater protection to livestock than it does to Women and Children.
