Why Trump Will Never Stop Winning

Narcissism is an oft underestimated and potentially dangerous mental illness, how that combined with a massive amount of the worst people supporting you is a lethal combination.

The Great Naomi Osaka Hypocrisy

After the tennis ace's revelation of depression, subsequent withdrawal from the French Open and apparent Martyrdom, why the press and the public are massive hypocrites, who arbitrarily ascribe love or hate to famous people and excuse or hammer their every move based on that alone. Lets not pretend we've changed.

Scott Morrison's Vaccination Vacation

Having the developed world's most incompetent government lead by it's most inept leader was always going to end in disaster sooner or later, now Australia's responsibility shirking Prime Minister, Scott Morrison's fumbled Vaccine roll out disaster will have massive ramifications for the year to come. Hey, he doesn't hold a dose mate.

Christian Porter: The Disaster Artist

The latest episode of Christian Porter versus the World is the best yet, in a terrible few months for the ex-Australian Attorney General and one time anointed Liberal Party princling. Once touted as leader of the country, then outed by an iconic ABC expose into Liberal Party sexism and abuse of women - things got much worse from there with the accusation of the rape of a sixteen in 1988 and her recent suicide. Porter, supposedly the highest legal mind in the country, then decided to sue the ABC for defamation - how badly this just blew up in his face is a self own for the ages.

Why Wont You Let Kevin Spacey Live!

In another no doubt popular opinion - it's time to let the disgraced and cancelled Kevin Spacey back into the world (and why James Franco and Louis C.K. should never have been cancelled in the first  place).

Saint Glady Berejiklian, Joan of Arc, Queen of our Hearts

In light of the FriendlyJordies YouTube attack on the NSW Liberal leader and state premier, Gladys Berejiklian, a look at her unfathomable and disgraceful hero worship by Australia's slavish news media, despite being up to her neck in corruption. An affair/corruption scandal that would've instantly destroyed the career of any Labor politician hasn't left a mark on her spotless reputation. This apparently sacred cow is less a powerful, independent woman, more a personality free extra from The Handmaids Tale, with a woeful choice in friends.

Israel V Palestine: Part Four - Israel And America

The final in a four part series on the current Israel Palestine conflict. America has been Israel's never ending ally no matter what happens. A look at how toxic that relationship now is for proposed human rights champion Joe Biden, how the relationship is finally changing and why the biggest champions of the state of Israel are not American Jews but evangelical Christians.

Israel V Palestine: Part Three - Is Israel A Democracy?

Part 3 in a four part series on the current Israel Palestine conflict. It is frequently mentioned that Israel is the only democracy in the middle east, the dog whistle being that they are much more like the West than either Arabs or Muslims - yet their version of democracy is actually far closer to to Saudi Arabian theocracy than they would be comfortable with.

Israel V Palestine: Part Two - Israel's Right To Defend Itself

The second of four pieces on the current Israel Palestine conflict - this looking at the oft touted right of Israel to defend itself no matter what.

Israel V Palestine: Part One - Why The Current Conflict?

The first of four pieces on the latest conflagration between Israel and Palestine, why the current conflict exploded. Basically the onerous Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prepared to let Palestinians and Israelis die in order to stop himself going to jail over corruption charge - a flat out war crime that should see him in the Hague.
