President Trump Reveals that he is Preventing Numerous Wars on a Daily Basis.
โI am also preventing on a constant basis a War between Japan and North Korea. China and Taiwan. Australia and New Zealandโฆโ
He is Truly the Peacemaker in Chief.

To all you seniors on fixed incomes who disproportionately voted for Trump thinking heโd protect your healthcare interests. I will not lie to you about your chances of surviving his negligent abandonment but, you have my sympathies.

Australians are having to choose between food and soap or toothpaste.
We can do better than this as a country.
We're a wealthy country. This about choices - like deciding not to have a windfall profits tax to get a return for ๐ฆ๐บ during an energy crisis, or not getting a return on our gas exports.
That's money that could go to dealing with root causes of cost of living - housing, energy costs and transport.

Lana Nusseibeh, the United Arab Emirates diplomat who is suddenly being promoted as a candidate for UN secretary general, hasn't only lied about the UAE role in sending arms and mercenaries to the genocidal Rapid Support Forces paramilitary in Sudan. She has also lied and covered up the UAE role in killing civilians in Yemen. Some examples:

Republicans must be thrilled that 11 days before elections, we learn that the Trump family secretly orchestrated a deal to allow Russians to drill Alaska in exchange for a $25 billion "investment" funneled through their proxies.
Now weโre understanding why Trump needs a Republican to win Alaskaโฆ

The reality is the HPV vaccine is SO EFFECTIVE at preventing HPV, cervical cancer is on its way to ELIMINATION in countries which have rolled it out, such as Scotland ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ, Sweden ๐ธ๐ช and Australia ๐ฆ๐บ!!
๐จALARMING HARM: HPV Vaccine INCREASES HPV Rates & Ovarian Damage in Girls โ Dr. Brian Hooker, PhD
The Gardasil HPV vaccine doesnโt even prevent HPV.
Floridaโs Medicaid database was analyzed, comparing vaccinated vs. unvaccinated girls.
The results are alarming:
- Vaccinated girls showed much higher rates of ovarian dysfunction and female reproductive disorders.
- They also had a greater risk/level of HPV infection itself compared to the unvaccinated group.
Dr. Hooker: โWe see much, much higher levels of these issues in the individuals that received the vaccineโฆโ
Why are we giving this to our children? A vaccine that fails to prevent the very infection it targets โ and increases serious reproductive risks instead?
Parents, this is from the actual data. Do your research before the next โroutineโ shot.
The HPV rollout continuesโฆ but the science from this comparison demands answers.
Share this. Question everything. Protect our children.

Especially as they get billions in public money.
Given how much public money they get, why are they allowed to pick & choose their students at all?
โFor most people, announcing their engagement means congratulations. For me it meant getting fired.โ
Why are Australia's religious schools legally able to sack a teacher or expel a student simply for being gay, transgender, divorced or pregnant? trib.al/DuKQYJm

Last week we filmed I$raeli soldiers, Merkava tanks and D9 bulldozers in Zawtar al-Sharqieh, southern Lebanon.
This is what they are doing there. Destroying peopleโs homes. But this is a mere snapshot of whatโs happening across the so-called โyellow zoneโ. Demolitions and detonations of homes and infrastructure. Some 60 villages flattened.
This is what a genocide looks like.

I know of no other place on earth where the shooting of two soldiers leads to the displacement of 2000 people who had no connection to the shooting other than being in the neighbourhood.
