Remember when CNN reported data centers were causing enormous "heat island" effects based upon a (bogus) non-peer reviewed research paper on March 30? Well, now published research shows the exact opposite: the reflective roofs of the data centers actually dramatically cool the daytime temperatures around the buildings compared to otherwise. eurekalert.org/news-releases… Study: iopscience.iop.org/article/1… CNN sloppy work: cnn.com/2026/03/30/climate/d…

It only costs you one moment to hear the echoes of those it cost a lifetime. Those that suffered and died to uphold a world we take for granted today. And as our precious freedoms sustain multiple threats again, we must draw strength and courage from those that fell before us. They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. Lest we forget.

What a MORON As a Veteran I can tell you we hate you and your fake platitudes. YOU make the lives of many Veterans much worse and don't care YOU are a disgutsing POS RESIGN
Ahead of Remembrance Day commemorations in Australia, I laid a wreath at RMAF Butterworth, recognising the Australian personnel who lost their lives in the service of our Nation with Rifle Company Butterworth.  Lest we forget.

Here are some of the activists we are paying to attend COP31 in Turkey. While Aussies struggle under the dead weight of Labor, Albanese and Bowen thought it would be good to take indigenous climate activist to Turkey as seat warmers.

Earlier this year the Albanese Government announced 3.88 hectares of land overlooking the Darwin Waterfront could soon hit the market. Now, it’s soon-to-be owner has been announced. DETAILS 👉 bit.ly/4zhqXTv China 🇨🇳 is looking to buy.

I told the Senate that this is the most extreme online censorship legislation ever. The government says it wants to protect kids. Its bill would allow it to wage info war and censor its populist enemies. The @AlboMP @AnikaWells psyop rests on fake news, fake polls, & fake NGOs.
Online misogyny causes sexual violence, say governments. But the science doesn't support such claims. Now, a new investigation reveals that mining titan Twiggy Forrest, who receives millions in subsidies, spent millions to pass censorship legislation.

The ALP is now on the brink of a full-scale internal war. The PM has blocked MPs from getting advice from Treasury direct. All information will now flow through the office of the PM and Treasurer. Dictator style.

Upon deeper analysis The Digital Duty of Care Bill seems designed as part of a global censorship push to introduce sweeping surveillance powers. Incredible analysis from Margaret Chamber ( institute of Public Affairs) who has uncovered a hidden amendment to the Privacy Act which unleashes the eSafety Commissioner’s ability to gather massive information on people. Where information on political views, biometric data, religious believes, ethnicity could be collected without consent and could be shared overseas with regulators like OfCom.

Islamic Terrorist migrants can plan a mass casualty Islamic Terror attack against Australians then be released back into our community under the Labor Government. It’s only a matter of time before more innocent lives are lost due to this ideology & the incompetence of this Government. The social contract between our Government & Australians has been broken & Labor must be removed as they have neglected & betrayed Australians & have put our safety & security at risk.

I was an Army Intel analyst for Special Forces and military police sergeant and I have spent over 40 collective months in Afghanistan over my 23 years of service. My background taught me how this actually works. I LIVED in their country. I SAW how they move and operate when they already hold power, and I STUDIED how they take a country when they don't. I saw girls beaten with fists and sticks. Kicked. I saw girls faces disfigured from acid attacks because they DARED to want to learn and have an education. I saw little boys as young as 9 years old treated as sexual entertainment through the accepted practice of bacha bazi (Chai Boys). I saw many a 'Man Love Thursday'. TOO MANY. I saw a culture where a woman accusing a powerful man of sexual abuse WOULD face shame, punishment and very likely DEATH because a man's word carried more weight than hers. Little girls are married off, bought and sold like livestock. These girls do not get a choice. It's either do it or DIE. They are controlled and hidden away underneath a burka. Inside a compound. No rights. No voice. They are OWNED by men. Five years after the Taliban returned to power, this isn't ancient history. Girls are still barred from school. Women are still hidden, abused and powerless. The Taliban has issued more than 100 decrees restricting women and girls and made child marriage and forced marriage even harder to escape. This is what I saw with my own eyes time and time again all over that country. This is what I KNOW. And this is what I see right now IN MY OWN COUNTRY, unfolding before our very eyes......and its f*cking terrifying. When Muslims are not the majority, they play a VERY different game. They label you an Islamaphobe. They demand tolerance. They demand their own rules. They build mosques and preach a 'Death to America' message from INSIDE our own country and make us pay them for it with our own tax dollars. They shame you for noticing. Then the second they see a path to power, they get bold. They see that path in America right now. An IMAM in TEXAS just said it out loud......he said on camera, now that the state 'turned blue', it's their chance to TAKE OVER. That's why they're getting more brazen by the day. Next, they'll build more mosques with Americans' tax dollars. They'll keep infiltrating our government so they can fight us from the inside. And once that foothold is strong enough, they WILL start implementing Sharia law. I've already seen that ending. We HAVE to REJECT this and KICK THEM THE F*CK OUT!!! We owe it to our daughters and our sons not to let that shit live here. 🇺🇸🪖 Spread this message like our kids' lives depend on it because they 100% DO!!!! Below is one of the many schools we built that the Taliban seized after we left country. I'm the one in the middle. 5'2 but locked and loaded. And thanking GOD every day that I took a breath in that country that- 1. I had guns and bullets 2. That I was an American 3. That I had the full force of the United States military on my side Seeing this very same religion and culture that's destroyed so many other countries come to MY America is even scarier than seeing it there. This is OUR home. But it will be unrecognizable if we don't stand up and FIGHT against this with everything we have!

Anthony Albanese has given a terse response when asked if he ever loses his cool, following a string of incidents, including snapping at a member of the public and calling Angus Taylor an idiot. news24.com.au/politics/austr…

#BREAKING THE REVOLUTION AGAINST THE CENSORSHIP REGIME IS UNDERWAY Executives from Meta, TikTok, and Snapchat just fronted a parliamentary inquiry, fiercely pushing back against this unprecedented legal trap. They exposed the truth: Australia already has a massive online safety framework. Opening the floodgates to rogue litigation is completely unnecessary and dangerous. But it gets worse. The Greens, whose vote Albanese desperately needs, are trying to hijack the bill to make it even more radical, demanding individuals be allowed to sue Big Tech into submission. Shockingly, Communications Minister Anika Wells is refusing to rule it out, admitting the government is looking to make this draconian bill “as strong as possible” Make no mistake: if platforms face endless American style lawsuits every time someone claims “harm” over a political disagreement, they will simply pull the plug on free debate. The final report drops on November 20. If this bill gets passed, the online free speech community that we love so much will be effectively dead and buried.

#BREAKING WIFE BEATING MUSLIM PREACHER LECTURES JESS WILSON AFTER SHE THREATENS TO CUT HIS MOSQUE’S FUNDING Samir Mohtadi, also known as Abu Hamza, the Melbourne imam caught on video saying husbands can beat their wives “as long as they don’t leave bruises”and that forcing your wife to have sex “isn’t rape” - is now crying about being “bullied” Why? Because Victorian Liberal leader Jess Wilson just promised to: • Stop every cent of taxpayer money to his MyCentre Mosque. • Block their planned expansion in Mickleham. Mohtadi’s response? Accuse her of “stepping over the laws,” “being the judge and jury,” and letting “power get to her head” Her office’s reply was perfect: “Jess won’t be lectured about bullying by a man who has told husbands they can beat their wives and questioned whether forcing their wives to have sex is rape. Mr Mohtadi is entitled to his views. He is not entitled to Victorian taxpayers’ money” Under a Liberal-Nationals government: Zero funding for this hate preacher. MyCentre has already pocketed more than $600,000 in public money since 2022, including federal Home Affairs grants. Meanwhile, Mohtadi is claiming the heat on him is only because of his Palestine views, not the 2003 lecture, not the UAE terror plot investigation that named his mosque - they deny any link. Victorian taxpayers should not be funding a man who teaches that beating and raping your wife is acceptable. And after dealing with weak kneed Labor governments, Mohtadi doesn’t like being dictated to. Especially by a woman.

Here is who is pouring millions into the political war chest: Anthony Pratt (Pratt Holdings): $2 million injection following a cozy $1 million personal donation right before the PM attended his private concert. Lindsay Fox (Fox Group): Dropped $500,000 to keep transport interests aligned. Edward Craven: The crypto-tech entrepreneur handed over $300,000. Kerry Stokes (Australian Capital Equity): The media mogul secured access with $200,000. Harry Triguboff (Meriton): The property billionaire added $100,000 to the pile. The Point Piper Elite: A secretive Mandalay mansion fundraiser locked in a $1 million pledge from corporate high-rollers. Amazon (AWS): Slid over $200,000 into Labor’s fundraising arm while simultaneously scoring billions in government datacentre contracts. Look who gives money to Labor. All those who got somethiong in return. Linfox was rewarded with a fleet on new EV Volvo Prime Movers. Pratt was given millions for Hydrogen AMAZON were rewarded with millions in government contracts. Point Piper with a disgraced Chinese billionaire. What was offered? Did Albanese clear his tax bill? The corruption is in full view.
