I gave up on Churchill-like flights of oratory in my response to a commenter’s reply on my video about Pete Hegseth. In the end, I preferred descending into crudeness. I’m just not in the mood 😛 #petehegseth #hegseth #masculinity #commentssection

It’s taken me 24 hours to work out why I find Pete Hegseth’s address to the military to be so embarrassing. Wbu? #petehegseth #hegseth #donaldtrump #embarrassing

Donald Trump has gone too far this time! (And, sadly, this is what international relations have become). #donaldtrump #media #johnlyons #abc #abcnews #fourcorners

The Power of kindness. More than ever, we need more people like Bishop Pat Power (1942-2025). A small tribute. #patpower #bishoppower #rip

I simply want nothing to do with people or businesses promoting or endorsing the sentiments expressed by the “March for Australia” crowd. It’s personal. Others can do what they want to do, but I’m sticking with the values I grew up with. #immigration #values #aussie

My thoughts are with those marching for #Palestine today. I mark it by providing this rebuttal of a genuine, but flawed, defence of #Israel that I have received.

Have Australians lost their sense of identity? Have we fawned so much to the USA that we have become like them? This comment from a fellow Aussie has me wondering 🤔 #commentssection #aussietok #maga

These comments overnight from the USA have made me feisty this morning. I am assuming at least 2 of the 3 commenters would accept the label “MAGA”? But I don’t want to besmirch anyone who I’ve inadvertently misunderstood—eg, I cannot understand how someone can be MAGA *and* a Doctor Who fan.

I don’t understand how Trump supporters see Trump as a strong man when Trump consistently gives way to Putin 🤷‍♂️ #ukraine #russia #donaldtrump #putin

I didn’t realise Putin’s Russia has kidnapped 20,000 children from Ukraine. This makes Trump’s fawning to Putin all the more repellent. #trump #putin #ukraine

Some comments I have received about the pro-Palestinian march yesterday, and about other pro-Palestinian sentiment, go beyond the pale, and must be called out. Some comments are vile; others are just un-Australian. #gaza #israel #palestine #commentssection Edited version of longer vid.

I’m thinking of calling these feisty #news updates “The Daily Troybune”. There’s something in today’s update for everyone, from protests against #Israel over #Gaza, #Trump’s latest firing, and a catchy chant about Mark Kenny’s column.

Troy’s Voice @troyagain.bsky.social · 31/07/2025

Some Americans make comments that seem so other-worldly to me. Donald Trump poses a threat to them and to many others. The best way to counteract that threat is to think independently, critically, and not so insularly. #donaldtrump #usa

It will be an irony among many ironies if Israel’s actions lead to the recognition of a Palestinian State. Kudos to Bob Carr and Miriam Margoyles via Big Issue UK for continuing to speak up. #israel #gaza #palestine #miriammargolyes #bigissueuk

Yesterday’s video on the inhumanity in Gaza has sparked some bitter comments. I’m grateful for the kindness of others. And I’m inspired to explain what real patriotism is, in today’s news review. #gaza #palestine #refugees #welcometocountry #auspol

MAGA Americans and I have something in common: we both value independence of mind. But are MAGA Americans exercising independent minds when assessing the actions of Donald Trump? #donaldtrump #freedom

I’m conflicted between protecting myself from the world’s inhumanity and a duty to expose it. My solution is to direct people to Australian Political Comments (on TikTok), who is stronger than me. Source: Wafaa Shurafa, Fatma Khaled, Melanie Lidman, and Samy Magdy, reprinted in SMH, 22 July 2025.

On Donald Trump, I enjoyed this writer’s turn of phrase, which appears in the New York Times (reprinted in the Sydney Morning Herald). So, I’ve adapted it and expanded it a bit. #donaldtrump
