Sydney's Harbour Bridge Historic March for Palestine Photo YouTube Yesterday, Sydney witnessed a moment of history. In the face of political opposition and last-minute legal challenges, tens of thousands of people—some estimates suggest up to 90,000—marched across the Sydney Harbour Bridge in a powerful display of solidarity with the Palestinian people. It was a day that proved, unequivocally, that people power can and will overcome attempts to silence dissent. The march, organized by the Palestine Action Group, was a stunning success. From the outset, police and government officials expressed their fears, with the Premier warning of "chaos" and police challenging the protest in court. After the court sided with the protesters, authorities continued to voice concerns, with a Deputy Commissioner of Police even describing the situation as "perilous" and a potential for a "crowd crush."

The ongoing feud between former President Donald Trump and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell has once again grabbed headlines, escalating into a public spectacle that raises critical questions about the U.S. economy and the independence of its central bank. From fiery social media posts to a heated in-person confrontation over building renovation costs, the tension between these two powerhouses is impossible to ignore.

Powell, steadfast in his role, pushed back, citing persistent inflation concerns as justification for maintaining steady rates. The clash wasn’t just verbal—it played out in front of cameras, with the two sparring over the seemingly mundane issue of Federal Reserve building renovation costs. Yet, beneath the surface, this skirmish revealed deeper fault lines. Th...

Outside White House Ballroom Photo The White House     Washington, D.C.  — For 150 years, Presidents, Administrations, and White House Staff have longed for a large event space on the White House complex that can hold substantially more guests than currently allowed.

Trump has expressed his commitment to solving this problem on behalf of future Administrations and the American people.   The White House is one of the most beautiful and historic buildings in the world, yet the White House is currently unable to host major functions honoring world leaders and other countries without having to install a large and unsightly tent approximately 100 yards away from the main building entrance. The White House State Ballroom will be a much-needed and exquisite addition of approximately 90,000 total square feet of ornately designed and carefully crafted space, with a seated capacity of 650 people — a significant increase from the 200-person seated capacity ...

For example, One Nation has historically focused heavily on issues like immigration, national sovereignty, and skepticism of climate change, often with a populist tone. Other conservative minor parties might prioritize different aspects, such as religious freedom, family values (like the resurrected Family First Party), or specific economic policies. Merging would require significant compromises on these core tenets, which can be difficult for parties built around distinct platforms. Personality Politics and Leadership Ambition: Minor parties often revolve around strong, charismatic leaders. Pauline Hanson is the quintessential example for One Nation. Th...

Jacinta, Wong, Cash Wrecks Welcome to country Virtue signalling Photo by Blow the Truth Canberra, ACT   – A heated exchange in the Australian Senate has seen Foreign Minister Penny Wong's attempt to chastise Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price over her "Welcome to Country" criticism spectacularly backfire, triggering an explosive intervention from Deputy Liberal Leader Michaelia Cash.
