The winning metaphor is that the White House Correspondents Association hired a magician instead of a comedian. Sleight of hand over speaking truth to power.

Fat Cats and the Pezullo report. So keen for secrecy, they'd rather admit failure - Michael West

The wealthiest rental investors receive the highest tax benefits from negative gearing. In 2022-23, about 37% of rental deductions went to 500,000 landlords in the top 10% of income earners. Some 71% of rental deductions were claimed by the top 30% of income earners.
Negative gearing tax breaks could finally be tightened in the May budget. What options are on the table?
And what might it mean for renters – especially rental housing supply and prices – if the government does tackle negative gearing?

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed.
Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

Didn't Melania's husband mock the Pope, post blasphemous content, threaten genocide, ridicule and threaten the press, and engage in an illegal, unwinnable war with Iran -- all of that in the past month?
Very offensive, divisive, and hateful.

It’s going to be an interesting few weeks when the royal commission examines, as I suspect it will, the defraying of social cohesion caused by the organised censorship of writers, artists and employees across the country for daring to speak against an unfolding genocide

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

The Trump regime’s internal security enforcers murdered an American citizen in broad daylight.
The regime is illegally blocking the release of evidence of Trump’s extensive collaboration with Epstein. They’re agitating for war with France and Germany.
It’s completely insane anyone supports them.
