Why Trump Isn’t Lying About Losing The Election

A look at a narcissists relationship with the truth.

Australian Labor And Anthony Albanese - What The Hell Are You Doing?

Just when Australia is in dire need of a Labor Government, we get one and it half pretends to be the Liberal party and half focuses on terribly damaging side projects. We voted for Labor, give us Labor.

Ukraine War: Was It About Grain All Along?

Or more specifically, is the entirety of this conflict related to the coming impact of climate change? Where our future will be dominated by two super-powers, the BRIC nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China) and the West, not for conflict between the two per se, but so the strongest survive better in the coming climate change/food production apocalypse, and everyone else has a very bleak future indeed. From the militarization of the West to Ukraine giving up sovereignty of one of the most arable countries on Earth, a look at how this may all play out - including a link below to how much this is already costing Ukraine in ownership of its own farmland and monetary policy.

The Fallacy Of Fair Pay In Women’s Sport

With the FIFA Women's World Cup underway, the issue of fair pay in women's sport has come up again - but it's a fallacy. This is entertainment money, it has no correlation with the genuine, real battle for fair or equal pay in other occupations and is a distraction or at the very least muddies the waters.

Elon Musk And The Musk Maidens Of Cringe Destroy Twitter

The only reason Elon isn't the epicenter of cringe in this universe, is his fanboys - the Musk Maidens - are even sadder. Now attention vampire Elon, who was FORCED to buy Twitter, and forced to pay double - after a flex went badly wrong - has forgotten he only paid $44 Billion for a brand, one he is now ditching entirely. Like paying billions for Coca Cola and renaming it "W" and selling it in an orange can. Bugatti Genius.

Climate Change: We’re All Gonna Die#3

The third episode of my intermittent series on how we've left it far too late to do anything about global warming finally reaches a positive note. NO IT DOESN'T WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!

To The Australian Labor Party - DON’T Sack Anthony Albanese If The Voice Loses

Australian political leadership has been a farce since Labor stupidly decided to ditch prime minister Kevin Rudd after a couple of years, since then two years became the norm until you were sacked. Rudd was ditched for Gillard, Gillard for Rudd a couple of years later, then Abbott for Turnbull a couple of years later, Turnbull for Morrison a couple of years later - stop this madness. With the vote for the voice teetering on a precipice, there will no doubt be a push to remove Albanese if the vote loses - DON'T.

Australian Tax: Ban The Medicare Levy

The Australian Medicare Levy is an obscenity, a straight up tax-payer gift to the private health care industry and it needs to go. There's no reason or benefit to it, other than propping up the private health care industry - to all of our detriment. Good old Aussie ex-prime minister, Neo-liberal titan, John Howard (a perfect mix of Reagan, Nixon and Thatcher) came up with this con job bribe, to force people to buy private health insurance twenty years ago and why are we still putting up with it? (Note: I refer to it live as the medicare surcharge but it is both the medicare levy and the medicare levy surcharge that I am referring too)

Are You A Racist?

Ever sat at home and wondered - am I a massive racist? Well now it's the fun game for all the family - Are You A Racist? As we walk through three major signifiers that you might indeed be a racist - two other major signifiers, do signifiers 1-3 make you angry? And do you constantly try to redefine what racism is? Are not included in this game.

Why The Voice Should Be Cancelled

While I think the referendum into adding a constitutional "Voice" to the Australian constitution, recognizing and empowering indigenous Australians, is undoubtedly a great thing, these are the reasons I think the current path should be cancelled - primarily the a patchwork of lies from the right will turn the vote toxic, incompetent planning and campaigning from the left has singularly failed to define what The Voice even is, in the eyes of most Australians, and to lose such a vote would be an unmittagated disaster.
