🚨 PARIS: There's a soldier with a RIFLE at the gates of Sacré-Cœur on Halloween night, and riot police are holding back a crowd on the steps below. This is what France has come to. France's own Interior Minister just ordered extra security at churches and Christian cemeteries for All Saints' Day. His reason is that France logged 843 ANTI-CHRISTIAN ACTS last year, up 9 percent, and this year is running even higher. Paris used to be a city where you could go to church in peace. Now it needs troops at the door. The war on Christianity is real.

Anthony Albanese has done something no Australian prime minister has ever done before. He's taken a free trade agreement — a document that is supposed to be about buying and selling — and he's stuffed it full of climate ideology until it's barely recognisable as trade at all. This isn't a free trade deal. It's a climate agreement wearing a trade deal as a disguise. Here's what his own government's documents admit. DFAT published a paper titled "Benefits for Trade, Environment and Climate," and buried in it is this line: for the first time in a free trade agreement, Australia has made a binding commitment to implement the obligations under the Paris Agreement. Not a reference. Not a nod. A binding commitment. And the same document says the agreement can be suspended over serious violations of climate obligations. So if a future Australian government — any government, Labor or Liberal — decides the Paris targets are too expensive, too punishing, too destructive to our economy, Europe can drag us before a dispute panel and suspend the deal. That's not sovereignty. That's a leash. And Albanese knows exactly what he's doing. Ursula von der Leyen stood in our own Parliament and said she was proud to have made decarbonisation a defining pillar of this agreement. A defining pillar. In a trade deal. The woman running Europe didn't hide it. She celebrated it. And our Prime Minister sat there and smiled. Now let's talk about what these targets actually mean for ordinary Australians. The 2030 target is a forty-three percent cut below two thousand and five levels. The Climate Change Authority itself admits emissions need to more than double their current rate of reduction to get there in four years. The Institute of Public Affairs ran the numbers and found that meeting the twenty thirty-five target of sixty-two to seventy percent would require the equivalent of a two hundred and ninety billion dollar tax burden over a decade. That's not a rounding error. That's a generation of wealth confiscated in the name of a theory that Europe itself is quietly walking back as its own industries collapse. And here's the kicker that should make every Australian furious. The European Union has told us point blank — once negotiations are done, they're done. Don Farrell repeated it. There is no reopening. There is no amendment. Whatever is written in that text is written in stone, and it binds not just Albanese but every prime minister who comes after him. This is a man who can't win a debate on climate policy at the ballot box, so he's outsourcing it to Brussels. He's taking the most contentious, most divisive policy in Australian politics and locking it into an international treaty so that even if the people vote him out, the ideology survives him. That's not governance. That's entrenchment. Why is any of this in a trade deal in the first place? Because the far left has learned that you can't sell climate destruction directly to voters, so you smuggle it in through the back door of agreements nobody reads. You attach it to something people want — cheaper wine, more beef exports — and hope they don't notice the poison pill. And when the Coalition objects, Albanese calls them nativist and protectionist. He turns legitimate sovereignty concerns into a culture war so he doesn't have to answer the actual question: why should a future elected Australian government be unable to change its own energy policy without asking permission from Europe? But before we get to the treaty, let's look at what the green agenda has already done to this country on its own. Because the damage isn't theoretical. It's on every power bill in Australia right now. Household electricity bills are up thirty-five percent since the start of twenty twenty-two. Gas is up forty-nine percent.

So Hastie is a coward as well as a traitor?

Donald Trump is the only right-wing figure in the West this century to actually roll back gains of the left, to actually win and for it to mean something. One of his more important achievements has been exposing what I call the noble loser. The conservative who prefers a moral trophy for being pure over actually winning. That was John McCain, that was Mitt Romney, and that is, it would seem, Andrew Hastie. Winning isn’t an end in itself. It’s how you secure the future for your people and the values you claim to represent. These conservatives claim to be principled, but their principles are usually about decorum, civility and process. They sacrifice the very things they entered politics to defend in order to preserve their own reputations for integrity. There is no dignity in losing. This isn’t a game where you can win a medal for fair play and sportsmanship. As @RogerJStoneJr says, “Losers don’t legislate.” Principled failure is still failure.

Congratulations to my friend @LulaOficial on your election victory. Australia and Brazil are great democracies, and we’ll keep working together and building on our partnership. 🇦🇺🇧🇷

This can't be real.

this American guy doing an Australian ordering a meat pie is comedy gold

Is it just me ?

🚨 ABSOLUTE MADNESS IN BRAZIL! Polls closed at 5 PM, machines were sealed, and Lula’s activist Supreme Court judge just unilaterally extended voting hours AFTER THE FACT. They only change the rules when they are LOSING. They are trying to steal this election in broad daylight. EYES ON BRAZIL! 🇧🇷

Just spoke to Bill Withers. I told him "Ain't No Sunshine" is poor grammar. He said "I know, I know, I know, I Know, I know, I know, I know, I know........" 🤣🤣🤣

Taxpayer-funded journalism? Australia's Labor government quietly dropped $67.6M into a Journalism Assistance Fund, now subsidizing wages for 2,000+ journalists at 184 newsrooms. Nine snagged $16Mil, Seven $11Mil, plus Crikey, The Conversation, and more. Half the cash went to just four big groups. News Corp & Sky? Barred. No mandatory disclosure to readers. Fund drained in 28 days. facebook.com/iand.hillery/po…

I haven't sat down and watched a full game since it started. I'd love to get interested but the product is amateur at best. Skill level similar to B Grade Country Footy & no atmosphere. Some games just don't suit females. It's not sexist it's just facts
