Disappointing thing to say such a long way to go to a resolution and all the 🍊 🤡 wants is a tRUMP tower on the Gaza Strip and a Palestinian Riviera he doesn’t care about the war ravaged Palestinians.
Disappointing for Wong to elevate his status like that

In Australia 🇦🇺 Canada 🇨🇦 New Zealand and Great Britain 🇬🇧 if this happened and it has , the governor general would dissolve both Houses of Parliament and call an election .The importance of the King or Governor General is not the power they hold but the power they withhold from others.
No more Kings ?

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in

Their waists and hands were tied together, forcing them to bend down and lick water to drink. The unscreened bathrooms contained only a single sheet to cover their lower bodies. Sunlight barely penetrated through a fist-sized hole, and they were only allowed access to the small yard for two hours. Detained by US immigration authorities for eight days, the workers and their families expressed shock, describing human rights violations and absurdities they could not have imagined as ordinary Koreans living in 2025.
