Australia wants a seat on UNGA. Yet our silence over attacks on the ICC, the US attack on Venezuela & Iran rings loudly. Pass the Red Lines Package, says Professor Emily Crawford @SydneyLawSchool #auspol michaelwest.com.au/internationa...

The silence in Canberra over attacks on the ICC, the US attack on Venezuela and the war on Iran rings loudly. Legislate the Red Lines Package.

Fox News finds what so many other polls have found over the past few years: the core reason people oppose data centres in the US are real, material and immediate environmental concerns. static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/...
Survey results (17–20 July) listing main reasons for opposing a local data center: 50% environmental concerns (29% energy/water use, 13% environmental impact, 4% noise, 4% pollution); 14% quality-of-life; 11% economic effects; 11% negative views of AI; 10% other; 4% unsure.

The message of the Right reacting to Virginia is the same as the message of "2020 was rigged": no victory by anyone but us is ever legitimate. We are the only ones allowed to win. These people are cartoon villains entitled to no respect and no trust. Rabid dogs.

Would we need to be bleeding resources needed by Asia much more if we - an energy super-power - had an urgent forward contingency plan in place mandating a shift of the economy to renewables? We’re a decade late Our national security at stake!

Washington is pretending to look busy with phony investigations—but don't let them distract you from the cover-up. The Epstein files remain hidden, and Pam Bondi still hasn’t appeared for questioning. No hearings. No deposition date. No answers.
