Christmas comes early. Bruce Lehrman loses defamation appeal.

He fought the law, and the law won.

Just in! Bruce Lehrmann’s defamation appeal has been DISMISSED by the Full Federal Court!

He was also ordered to pay costs

MAGA might still be on the Trump train, but Republicans in Congress see the writing on the wall. They know he’s weak, and that weakness gives them cover to finally distance themselves.

A politician’s first unspoken instinct is self-preservation.

The National Party's Bridget McKenzie is concerned Barnaby Joyce won't be able to continue his great works, such as 🧐, if he joins Pauline Hanson at #OneNation.

Barnaby knows with Net Zero gone the Nats will be in the same boat as One Nation, powerless.

2019: “Pauline Hanson suggests Port Arthur massacre was a government conspiracy”… to take away people’s guns… while she was trying to get money from the NRA.

I had someone repeat this conspiracy theory to me.

Hey Murdoch fake-news media! The study you report on here
1. Predicts nothing but is about the past.
2. Is not about Gulf Stream but #AMOC.
3. An AMOC collapse wouldn’t cause an Ice Age.
Incompetence or intent to confuse?
The study by Ren et al shows AMOC has weakened: www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Stephen Miller’s family migrant history.
Since Stephen Miller is in the midst of another of his Aryans-only trantrums, we should note that his family are 20th century immigrants from the shtetl of Antopol (Антопаль) then in the Hrodna gubernia of Russia. Applying his immigration rules, they would all have perished in the Holocaust.
Stephen Miller Is an Immigration Hypocrite. I Know Because I’m His Uncle.
If my nephew’s ideas on immigration had been in force a century ago, our family would have been wiped out.
