Melva Cornell in a publicity photo taken almost a century ago - for the only film she ever appeared with a credit - Fox's "Movietone Follies of 1929". The film is now lost, destroyed in the infamous vault fire of 1937. Despite her stunning red-headed beauty, Cornell never made it in films, and instead worked behind the scenes. Her life had great sadness with her beloved husband dying young in 1941, followed 4 years later by her only child dying of leukemia at the age of 6. Melva remained single for the rest of her life and died in 1960 at age 55. This photo was inscribed to her fellow red-headed friend Myrna Loy

The Iranians have been offering a deal for months. The MOU was a pre-deal before negotiations on a final deal.
Signed by both parties and invalidated by the US shortly into its life.
America cannot win. It can destroy much of Iran and the world economy, and lose further bases in an expanded arc around Iran. It can be the cause of infrastructure destruction in the gulf states hosting the US bases.
It cannot win though.
Iran wants the US monkey of its back once and for all. It wants justice for the Palestinians. It wants the US to get out.
Some of the world's people agree.

We had the trial of Russell Brand.
Where is the trial of Prince Andrew?
Can anyone answer this simple question, or is this too "far right conspiracy theory"?

🇦🇺💔 My fellow Australians, you do not need to keep living like this. None of you do.
Last night in Melbourne’s CBD, Jianming Feng was stabbed to death while delivering food.
He was 47 and a HungryPanda rider. A husband and father who left Shanxi, China nine years ago to support his family back home.
Police say he and another rider confronted a man tampering with their bikes on Frederick Way, near Queen Victoria Market. Feng was stabbed in the chest and died at the scene.
A 34-year-old rider was also stabbed and survived. A 51-year-old Footscray man is in custody.
He spent years working nights so his wife Xu, his kids and his elderly dad could get by. An ordinary conversation with his wife became their last.
This breaks my heart. 💔😭
Australia is a beautiful country. It always has been. But it is going down a bad road and something has to be done to stop this.
Only weeks ago, south of Brisbane in my home city, masked gunmen opened fire outside Fitzy’s Loganholme during a boxing night.
Nineteen year old Vana-Reese Schuster-Togiatau was shot in the head and neck. She died in hospital. Three others were also hit. A drive-by shooting, at a family event in Queensland.
And it is not just these two headlines.
Week after week, the news fills with knife attacks, street bashings, carjackings and weapons seizures.
Across Australia, robbery, sexual assault, car theft and other theft climbed hard after Covid. National car theft hit a 17-year high. Western Australia’s assault numbers are at a record. Victoria’s youth knife offending is climbing even as police seize thousands of blades. This is not one bad night, it is a pattern.
Stabbings.
Shootings.
Ordinary people just trying to work, enjoy themselves or walk home.
If the Australian government will not turn this around, then it is down to the people to force it and force it they must.
All Aussies need to come together and force change. Do not let our beautiful nation go down the toilet.
Australia is not a country where anyone should fear for their safety.
A hardworking Chinese dad delivering noodles should not die on a Melbourne street while delivering food.
A teenage girl should not die outside a Brisbane pub either.
Demand better.
Force better.
Before another family gets that phone call.

Self proclaimed Wolverine😂 Senator James Patterson and Jennifer Parker have been rolled out in a vain attempt to discredit the AUKUS public Inquiry.The inquiry report was informed by a former PM, Foreign Affairs and Defence Ministers, military experts, academics and the public.

Tuesday made Trump a lame duck. That could make the next 60 days the most dangerous of our lives.
A humiliated president. A war that cost him the midterms. An enemy that thinks it won. A clock that runs out Jan. 3.
What he’s likely to do next

Problem with #RBA is they are consumed by #economics & forget their job is to create quality of life. This won't happen by bashing all initiative out of us & filling our souls with gloom & doom. RBA leaders have no sense of #humanity. They are dead weight in our saddle bags.
RBA Instant View - too much too late.
The vote to hike was 6 to 3 which spells significant dissent on the Board.

No, of course it’s true! Naturally, Iran refused to use chemical weapons against Iraq during that war, when Iraq used chemical weapons, claiming that they were immoral, but sure, they’re gonna do it now, when they have no need of it.
This is exclusively a false intelligence report to try and justify the US going back to war against Iran. Plain and simple.
Don’t be deceived (again)!

These reports of limited US attacks look mysteriously similar to preparation fires to try and take out Iranian radars ahead of a larger strike that would follow.
This has a bad feel, like we’re in the final stages before we launch a spectacularly foolish strike against Iran, which will spawn a devastating reaction.
We may never recover financially or militarily from the chaos we unleash if we renew large scale fighting…
The U.S. attacked Iran’s Qeshm Island within the last few hours according to U.S. officials, as reported by The Wall Street Journal, the latest in a series of limited strikes the U.S. has carried out in recent weeks without announcing them. Explosions were reported on the Island beginning around 4 p.m. ET today. A U.S. official said the administration is “consistently addressing threats to American forces in the region.”
Some officials described the strikes as defensive, meant to stop Iran from having the freedom to attack commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz. One said the campaign has been kept quiet so as not to signal any intention of resuming major combat operations. Qeshm sits at the mouth of the strait and has a large underground missile site, a naval base and a major desalination plant, according to the Journal.

Yesterday Snowy Hydro’s barrister told the Full Federal Court that the company operates on a commercial basis. Today we see its dished out executive bonuses in response to a $13B blowout. Can anyone square that circle? #auspol theguardian.com/australia-ne…
