HBO host Bill Maher didn’t hold back as he laid into the Democratic Party for their “doubling down” on the politics that led to their recent election night defeat.

During a long rant about the state of the party, the comedian accused some Democrats of being “stupid,” others of being too liberal, and slammed those who blame racism and/or sexism for Vice President Kamala Harris’ loss to President-elect Donald Trump.

Tax office whistleblower Richard Boyle has once again been denied justice, or rather, the High Court found the whistleblower legislation lacking, given the judges no option but to deny his appeal and uphold the judgment against him.

In a saga that reads more like a satirical dystopia than reality, Richard Boyle – a man of integrity and courage – finds himself facing the full wrath of the very government he endeavoured to serve. Once a dedicated employee of the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), Boyle is now entangled in a legal nightmare that exposes the government’s alarming double standards and raises critical questions about the nation’s commitment to transparency and justice.

The subservience of the Labor-Coalition political class to Washington is now almost complete. It is no longer possible to consider the Albanese-Dutton political groupings as anything other than propagandists for US imperial interests. This has been apparent for some time, but it has now reached the stage of making John Howard’s role as “deputy sheriff” appear as a form of forceful independence.

Trump’s victory has exposed, for a second time, the failings of the entire US political system and its pursuit of a capitalist, imperialist agenda.

We need to look beyond conventional politics and policy to understand Trump’s triumph. The election was really about America’s declining quality of life.

 

The US political system and its capitalist, imperialist agenda has failed    By Richard Eckersley

 

When Donald Trump won the US presidency in 2016, upending the political establishment, it gave America a unique opportunity to examine closely what lay behind his victory, what was really ailing the country.

Alec Baldwin portrayed President-elect Trump’s nominee to lead the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Robert F. Kennedy Jr., in the latest “Saturday Night Live” episode this weekend.

 

Ukraine should ramp up military mobilization and send more troops to fight Russia, US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan has suggested in an interview with PBS News on Monday. Sullivan also rejected the argument that more American weapons could turn the tide on the frontlines.

“Have we seen a marked difference since we have provided tanks to Ukraine in terms of the battlefield? Similarly, on F-16s, have we seen a marked difference?” he asked host Nick Schifrin, referring to the firepower donated by the US and its allies to Kiev.

“It’s about manpower, and Ukraine needs to do more, in our view, to firm up its lines in terms of the number of forces it has on the front lines,” he said. “Where is the straightest line between Ukrainian performance and inputs? It’s on mobilization and manpower.”

Западные страны, а конкретно — США, Великобритания и Франция, дали разрешение Киеву на применение дальнобойных вооружений вглубь российской территории. Речь идет о ракетах ATACMS, SCALP и Storm Shadow, чья максимальная дальность достигает 300 километров.

Данная информация носит неофициальный характер. О принятом Байденом решении сообщила The New York Times, а о решении Лондона и Парижа — Le Figaro. Белый дом отказался от комментариев, не подтвердив и не опровергнув сообщения СМИ. А представитель переходной команды Трампа сообщил, что новый президент "может подвергнуть пересмотру" данное решение. Впрочем, в этих словах прозрачно читается, что может и не подвергнуть.

 

There was no time for nostalgia or looking back in anger, as Germany's Greens pivoted into campaign mode at their weekend party conference in Wiesbaden.

Germany is expected to elect a new federal parliament on February 23, seven months earlier than expected, following the collapse of its governing coalition of the Greens, the neoliberal Free Democrats (FDP) and the center-left Social Democrats (SPD), on November 6.

The Western media went crazy today reporting the “news” that Joe Biden gave Ukraine the green light to use long-range missiles in Russia. The New York Times led the way citing unidentified sources:

President Biden has authorized the first use of U.S.-supplied long-range missiles by Ukraine for strikes inside Russia, U.S. officials said.

The weapons are likely to be initially employed against Russian and North Korean troops in defense of Ukrainian forces in the Kursk region of western Russia, the officials said. . . .

Morning Joe SURRENDERS to Trump as The View LOSES IT

 

Watch both Hosts from MSNBC Morning Joe show surrender to Donald Trump at Mar-a-lago in order to re-open lines of communication. This comes after years of this show being at the top of the list of hate for Donald Trump. However, we believe it's due to ratings that have decline since Election Day by over 50 percent. Just maybe either meet with Trump or the show is finished. However, Sunny Hostin from The View didn't take this very well. In fact, she triples down on her hate for Trump.

Increasingly, however, the tenor of News Corp attacks has shifted from challenging not merely the existence of a publicly funded news source, but attacking its perceived ideology. While the trope of a left-wing ABC has been standard for decades among conservatives, increasingly the ABC has been targeted by the Murdochs as part of the culture wars that the company has found so rewarding in propagating.

 

The Murdochs and the ABC: it’s not just about competition, but about identity 

BERNARD KEANE

Watching Joe Rogan interview (2019) Bari Weiss got me thinking… We can fall prey to being biased because we assume and we do a lot of assuming to defend our position or attack another position and/or person. We even do it without understanding what we talk about. Yes, that is assuming. Voicing an opinion while being ignorant of facts, often using other people biases to construct our own… So, one thing leads to another, should we try to understand. At what point can we assume that we KNOW? We never do, do we?…
