The nuclear energy debate has not re-ignited the climate wars. The climate war that must be won has been ongoing for many years. This is not a war between Labor and the Coalition, it is a war between people who understand that tackling the climate emergency must be a top priority, and both Labor and the Coalition. Both parties of government are ignoring the science and endangering our national security with their ongoing support for coal and gas extraction.

Russia unaffected by global IT meltdown – ministry

A massive Windows 10 outage linked to the CrowdStrike antivirus platform has hit air traffic control systems, banks, and broadcasters

Russian tech infrastructure has not been affected by the global Windows 10 outage, the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications, and Mass Media has reported. The crisis illustrates the importance of becoming self-sufficient in terms of critical software, the ministry has stressed.

Windows 10 users around the world, including airports, banks and broadcasters, suffered serious failures on Friday, triggered by a recent update of the web/cloud-based CrowdStrike antivirus platform. Problems have been reported in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, India, Germany, Spain, the US, and several other countries.

Sorry, we want war: Why EU elites will ignore Hungary’s Orban
The Hungarian leader, who is currently president of the EU Council, is trying to actually make an impact with his term...

Hungary, represented by its Prime Minister Viktor Orban, took over the rotating six-month presidency of the Council of the European Union in July 1, and promptly decided to do something unconventional: actual work. So out came the knives.

Back in 2022, the most memorable thing that France’s Emmanuel Macron did while in the role was make a logo for his EU presidency that incorporated his own initials. The benefit to the French and European people was fantastic – as in, it exists in fantasy. 

America had the biggest ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’ moment in its history when US President Joe Biden debated Donald Trump last week, turning in a performance that confirmed many Americans’ fears that he does not have the cognitive capabilities to be President at his advanced age.

It’s political theory 101. When your candidate is weak, focus on their record. When the candidate’s record is weak, focus on the candidate. But what do you do when both your candidate and his record are tarnished in the eyes of the public? Most likely, you lose.

It’s official: the royals are returning down under. King Charles and Queen Camilla are scheduled to visit Australia and Samoa in October, attending events in Canberra and New South Wales (with more details to come).

Royal visits are designed to communicate a curated vision of imperial loyalty, but have always been a flashpoint for tension. In fact, the first royal visit to Australia was a disaster. It cost the lives of several people and exposed deep social divisions. The prince himself narrowly escaped assassination.

The Iwo Jima 2.0 pic, immortalizing the Trump fist surviving an assassination attempt, has taken the world by storm – generating everything from a meme tsunami on China’s Weibo to fresh anime in Japan. Not to mention the deluge of hats and T-shirts.

This carefully composed pic changes everything – in more ways than one. So let’s engage in a first attempt to deconstruct it.

Media Worries About Making Trump a Hero By Talking About Assassination Attempt, with Matt Taibbi

 

Megyn Kelly is joined by Matt Taibbi, editor of "Racket News," to discuss the media’s ridiculous coverage and skepticism of Donald Trump’s ear and bandage post-assassination attempt, how they coined the term “photoganda” to discredit the iconic photos of Trump after the shooting, why the left doesn't like that Trump is getting positive attention for his bravery and courage, and more.

Joe Biden has accused Elon Musk “and his rich buddies” of trying to “buy” the US presidential election, following claims that the billionaire is planning to make major contributions to a group that supports Republican frontrunner Donald Trump.

“I am sick,” a post on Biden’s personal social media account said on Wednesday, in an apparent reference to his positive Covid-19 test announced the same day. In a reply, the US president continued the sentence: “of Elon Musk and his rich buddies trying to buy this election.”

The post called on Americans to pitch in to Biden’s campaign through ActBlue, the Democratic donation platform. The fundraising platform has been in the spotlight because Thomas Crooks, the man who tried to assassinate Trump at a rally on Saturday, made a small donation to it when he was 17.

America has a problem but don’t worry, because we can stop anytime we want. I speak of course of America’s bottomless appetite for warfare, the fact that we can’t seem to go fifteen minutes without lighting up a third world country like a fucking spliff. But this doesn’t make us addicts, we just like to fuck around and blow shit up once in a while to let off some steam after a long day. I mean, we quit Afghanistan after like twenty years and we kind of quit Iraq. We could totally go cold turkey and put America first if we wanted too.

 

Exposing the Myth of the ‘Good War’

Last month the major Democratic Party-aligned think tank in Washington, the Center for American Progress (CAP), announced that former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern will launch a new leadership program as part of the Center’s Global Progress Action initiative.

In my view, some parts of Mary Kostakidis’ Twitter feed displays a particular and disturbing orientation. Despite that criticism, there should be no doubt that the pro-Israel lobby is engaged in a form of coordinated lawfare against critics of Israel on several fronts. Win or lose, the Zionist Federation of Australia (ZFA) will attempt to use the case against Kostakidis to discredit those who support Palestine in general as antisemites. This attack is part of a general assault on media critics.

Embattled Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle - who faces calls to resign over security lapses leading to former President Donald Trump’s near-assassination - landed her role thanks largely to a close relationship with first lady Jill Biden, sources have claimed.

Embattled Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, who is facing congressional outcry and calls to resign over security lapses leading to former President Donald Trump’s near-assassination Saturday, landed her role thanks largely to a close relationship with first lady Jill Biden, The Post has learned.

Vance’s top funder, Peter Thiel, co-founded the data-analytics company Palantir, which has the CIA as a client, and was an early investor in Facebook, the CIA’s “wet dream.”

Surging in the polls after surviving an assassination attempt, Donald Trump boosted his prospects of becoming the next president by nominating J. D. Vance as his vice president.

Vance is an Ohio Senator whose best-selling memoir Hillbilly Elegy positioned him as a politician who could empathize with people living in poverty in the Rust Belt.

Hillbilly Elegy recounted Vance’s upbringing in a poor family that also served as a sort of sociological examination of white working-class Americans.
