The state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says they've been informed by the FBI that US DOJ has said FBI will solely lead the investigation into Renee Nicole Good's killing by a federal officer. State investigators no longer have access to "case materials, scene evidence/investigative interviews"

Trump: Right now we are going to do something on Greenland, whether they like it or not. If we don’t do it the easy, we’ll do it the hard way. I am a fan of Denmark, but the fact that they had a boat landing 500 years ago doesn't mean that they own the land.

🚨 2025 observed the lowest #Arctic sea-ice extent AND the lowest sea-ice volume for their yearly average values. This comes as no surprise to me as the polar environment continues to change. The consequences are far-reaching.

As a former Director of Adelaide Writers' Week I am appalled that the Adelaide Festival Board has rescinded Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah's invitation to the 2026 AWW, explicitly linking its decision to the shattering crimes in Bondi.
A shocking decision that will and should have far-reaching consequences.

Can the Murdoch press get that many washed up swimmers and cricketers to sign up for a royal commission (that will be abused to justify Zionist encroachment on our rights)?
