My mother used to say, "a cat can look at a king", which my father said meant, "hold your head high, and never bow down to anybody." Words to live by. :)

The Murdoch flagship today features Johannes Leak exploiting a sexist meme - and a misogynistic political insult - to comment on conservative voter dynamics.
An intended critique of political drift, undermined by portraying female politicians as emotional, petty, or objects of desire.

He's pretty slick with misleading political spin: "Australia will have eight more nuclear reactors under the program for national security, but can't build any for energy security", which completely ignores the profound difference between nuclear reactors in submarines, and those on land.

Dutton couldn't pronounce #nuclear, either.
Now Dutton's gone, and the fanatically pro-nuclear Ted O'Brien is busy elsewhere.
If the global nuclear industry hopes to get a foothold in Australia, it'll need a better quality spokesperson than David Littleproud.

It's a parody of this 2016 photo of Barnaby Joyce with his then-media adviser, now-spouse, Vikki Campion.

The optics of the U.S. invading a sovereign nation don't gel with Trump's quest for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Although they do fit the anti-South American vibe of the vicious ICE raids, & bombing Venezuelan fishing boats.

![Screenshot of Donald Trump post on Truth Social
@realDonaldTrump on Truth Social:
President Gustavo Petro, of Colombia, is an illegal drug leader strongly encouraging the massive production of drugs, in big and small fields, all over Colombia. It has become the biggest business in Colombia, by far, and Petro does nothing to stop it, despite large scale payments and subsidies from the USA that are nothing more than a long term rip off of America. AS OF TODAY, THESE PAYMENTS, OR ANY OTHER FORM OF PAYMENT, OR SUBSIDIES, WILL NO LONGER BE MADE TO COLOMBIA. The purpose of this drug production is the sale of massive amounts of product into the United States, causing death, destruction, and havoc. Petro, a low rated and very unpopular leader, with a fresh mouth toward America, better close up these killing fields immediately, or the United States will close them up for him, and it won’t be done nicely. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President Donald J. Trump
