Looking at the “Would another country please come and remove our President?” posts and it just reinforces the view that Americans need foreign nationals to do all the dirty jobs they don’t want to do for themselves.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.
This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

This is crazy. Will any community be able to have an armed militia?
If any community feels the need special security, perhaps they could pay for more police as required.

The Bondi massacre, antisemitism and criticism of Israel have become tightly entangled in public debate. Context matters if fear is not to harden into blame, writes Jack Waterford.

The Bondi massacre sits within a wider international context that has reshaped public attitudes to Israel, antisemitism and protest, complicating how grief, fear and responsibility are understood in Australia.
