Trump: America the Broken
Saturday Feb 15, 2025
Saturday Feb 15, 2025
One thing this wildfire of a second Trump administration has proven, if someone can come in with such power to instantly destroy or change everything they want, above the law or political machinery in place, the system was broken to start with. In places like the UK, the rest of Europe and Australia, it isn't even legally possible to do half the things the Trump administration are doing. To quote Kanye West - No one man should have all that power.

Israel Vs Palestine: The Great Secret of Gaza
Wednesday Feb 12, 2025
Wednesday Feb 12, 2025
Given Trump and Netanyahu are now saying the quiet part out loud - we are going to remove the Palestinians from Gaza, a look at the enormous elephant in the room when it comes to global reporting on the future of a Palestinian state. As I covered a long while back, Israel cannot simply take the West Bank and Gaza strip and assimilate them into a future Israel - they HAVE to ethnically cleanse the Palestinians from those regions first. No one ever says it but this is why.

Why is Peter Dutton Worth 300 Million Dollars?
Wednesday Jan 22, 2025
Wednesday Jan 22, 2025
Why is no one in the media asking? Google how much is Peter Dutton worth. Now I'm not saying he is worth that but if the Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese buys a home for $4.3 million, a sum he could legitimately afford - it's front page news. So why is there one rule for Labor and another for the Liberal party and their leader? Even if its not true, why no transparency? Why are some people off limits? It's the politics of envy unless its Albo buying a house and suddenly every detail is published

The Truth About Hunter Biden's Laptop
Saturday Jan 18, 2025
Saturday Jan 18, 2025
No doubt you have heard about this massive multi-million dollar Ukrainian fraud the Bidens have been accused of and the endless legal assaults on Joe Biden's ex-junkie son, Hunter? Well have you heard as much about the fact the guy who accused them - for $600k, paid to him by associates of Trump, and who was connected with Russian intelligence, was sentenced days ago to six years in jail after confessing to making the whole thing up. Probably not. Alexander Smirnov - look him up.

Australian News Media The Worst In The Developed World Part 3: Albo and Labor
Wednesday Jan 15, 2025
Wednesday Jan 15, 2025
My channel was started, 4 years ago, on my anger and disgust at the Australian news media's slavish worship of one side of politics - The Liberal Party - and their relentless attacks on the other - The Labor Party. Nothing has changed. The Labor government of Anthony Albanese has been mature, measured, and achieved multiple policy goals - noted in this piece - after the disastrous calamity of the Scott Morrison years. Yet if you listen to worst offender The Sydney Morning Herald or the Murdoch press or TV Channels 7,9 & 10 - you would believe the worst government in history was currently in power. This is why Australia always ends up booting out well performing Labor governments and putting up with endlessly awful Liberal ones. Lets hope - once again - the Australian people see straight through it.

Sheeran Vs Geldof: In Defence of Do They Know it's Christmas?
Saturday Nov 30, 2024
Saturday Nov 30, 2024
Ed Sheeran is the latest in a long line of well meaning folk, to put the boot into Band Aid's song, Do They Know it's Christmas? For its condescending lyrics. Prompting its co-writer Bob Geldof to fire back at "an abstract wealthy-world argument". The lyrics, near written on a beer mat over a couple of days, were never meant to be examined as a treatise on Africa for the next forty years. They were written on the fly to inspire or guilt trip the British record buying public of 1984, to provide immediate aid to starving people. It led to Live Aid pumping hundred of millions of aid into one of the worst famines of the century. This is why we can't have nice things.

The Disgrace of Joe Biden and the Democrats
Wednesday Nov 27, 2024
Wednesday Nov 27, 2024
After being everyone's favorite, decrepit uncle in the face of fascism, Joe Biden has had a horrific final two years in public office. He is shaping as public enemy number one in returning Trump to power - for two main reasons, his deeply unpopular wars - especially Gaza with progressive democrats, and his handling of his own succession. The party too are equally to blame for ignoring the progressives within and the threat from without.

Sunday Nov 24, 2024
Anyone thinking this time would be like the last time, is living in delusional alley. Nothing screams that louder than the insane picks for the highest offices in the land.
*since this was broadcast live, the cheery, lovable Matt Gaetz has "quit".

World's Media Whitewashes the Racist Thugs of Maccabi Tel Aviv
Wednesday Nov 20, 2024
Wednesday Nov 20, 2024
According to the World's media, politicians and even the King of Denmark for some reason, Amsterdam descended into a pogrom like wave of anti-Jewish violence, after a soccer game between an Israeli club and Dutch Titans Ajax. The media narrative was set. It's just they missed out a few facts, like how the whole thing started with Maccabi fans - know for racism and violence back in Israel - tearing down and burning a Palestinian flag, attacking an Arab looking taxi driver and walking through the streets chanting anti-Arab slogans. Even footage the world media claimed was Jewish locals being attacked by racists, was in fact Maccabi fans attacking locals.

Aftermath: 13 Takeaways From the Trump Election Victory
Monday Nov 11, 2024
Monday Nov 11, 2024
It's been eight years since I got an election wrong, and the irony of the last time being Trump winning in 2016 is not lost on me. One thing I didn't get wrong is that Democrat voter apathy would decide this election and by a mile it did. With Trump's vote near unchanged from his massive 2020 defeat, over 10 million Biden voters failed to turn up for Harris. 13 takeaways from this epoch defining election.
