You can see why Kushner married into the family. Just as crooked as the rest. I read today that a Russian oligarch close to Putin funded part of Donald Jr's wedding. Funny how all the evil scum are so cosy.

Replace "mosque" with "church", "kindergarten", or "my house" and would the tolerance be any greater?

Jeez you can be lucky (or unlucky depending on your point of view). Saturday is the day of surgery. A check in the mirror showed what little hair I have left was scruffy and over the ear, so I decided to get it cut. The el cheapo hairdresser I use charges $15 for a buzz cut. paid for by inserting $15 in notes in s lot and getting a ticket. No change given. Bank ATM's don't issue $5 notes so I had to go to Woolies and buy something so I could withdraw cash at the checkout. I also bought tonight's Powerball tickets. I went upstairs to the hairdresser and had the buzz cut, put my glasses and hearing aid back on, then sat on a seat and had a drink from the bottle I bought at Woolies. After a couple of minutes, I got up and walked to the lift to go back to the carpark level. There was quite a bit of noise in the shopping mall. I took the trolley back to the trolley bay, went and got in the car. I drove out of the carpark into the street and stopped at the lights waiting to make a right turn. I thought, "that's funny, I can't hear the indicator clicking." even thought the arrow on the dash was flashing. I felt my ear and realised the hearing aid was missing. I completed the turn, made a U-turn and drove back into the carpark. The space I had vacated was still empty, so I parked, got out and retraced my steps, back in the lift and up the the hairdressers. There was the hearing aid, on the floor beside the chair I had been sitting in. With that sort of luck I would have taken a lottery ticket had I not bought my Powerball tickets half an hour earlier.

If they reduce the number of overseas students, they will increase the uni fees for Australian students. My daughter is a former student at Deakin University and says Australian students pay discounted fees because foreign students paying full fees fund the universities. Take away the foreign students and the universities will have to get their funding elsewhere - Australian students or Australian taxpayers through government funding.

Just follow the money and you won't go far wrong.

And his bride is daughter of Epstein's banker/broker. All in the family?

Now Donny is blaming Zelenski for the US price of diesel. He reckons that it's all caused by Ukraine's damage to Russian refineries. At the same time as claiming US doesn't need annybody's fuel - US makes enough for its own needs at home anyway. Never let a fact get in the way of a great story.

What?? That bloke who dresses up in a bear suit to steal salmon from bear cubs, takes them all the way to Thailand for processing?

He even won an election that he didn't win.

Amazing, Just Dumb Vance reckons it's not a war at all so Trump has won the war that isn't a war 67 times in just 8 months. That must be a record at least for an orange toddler with an IQ of around a zillion.

All quiet on the eastern front.... The yanks have only won the Iran war-of-choice once this month?

In the last 60 years we have been told many times that the minerals industry is in decline and that some new industry is about to take over as Australia's new domestic and export industry driver. It has never happened. What happens instead is that investment in exploration and mining is discouraged and the investment returns from mining go flat until the next "boom". The main result of this has been that domestic investment is driven out, and foreign owners gradually get control of Australia's resources, because they are nimbler in reinvesting when conditions improve.

We're already doomed. Chump says he has it under control.

They should just swap the first letters - the Tronald Dump.

And then you have Kushner saying that the war in Ukraine could end if Zelensky would just agree to move the border to where Moscow wants it. According to him Washington has already prepared most of the peace agreement, but its signing is being held up by Ukraine's unwillingness to make territorial concessions to Russia. If only they would agree to that, he claims it would be a win-win for everyone because the fighting would stop and Russia and Ukraine could look for business opportunities to work together.
