The teenage San Diego mosque mosque killers left a manifesto in which they identified with a "New Crusade" led by "sons of *******," with "*******" referring to the 2019 Christchurch mass murderer. Do not let it be said that these acts are aberrations. Their roots are the same.

Is the NACT election campaign strategy based on promoting sectarian hatred of public sector workers by private sector 'battlers?" Or to push public sector cuts so deep that they cannot easily be reversed and private interests can exploit the service delivery gaps? Just wondering.

@TizzyEnt Here is a conflict resolution alternative: 50 cents worth of 91 unleaded applied from nozzle to his face would have shut him up right quick. Producing a match or lighter after that would have shut him up even quicker and de-escalated things in a hurry. No need for fisticuffs.

Contrast: Trump talks about the popularity of Chinese restaurants in the US (presumably because they are all the same to him). Xi cautions about the US falling into the "Thucydides Trap" where declining status quo powers enter conflicts against rising powers that they cannot win.

representation? What about its impact on federal welfare, health and other social services as well as defense and domestic security? Do his advisors consider these things or is he winging it as per usual? Cognitive dissonance or is it a case of serious cognitive decline? SAD!

law and taxation schemes given their notorious corruption? How will US dependencies like Puerto Rico and Guam react to being passed over for statehood? How will smaller states react to Venezuela's rise to 3rd largest state when it comes to congressional and Electoral College

Trump floats the idea of making Venezuela the 51st US state. Besides the legal requirements needed to do so, how will the MAGA base welcome 30 million brown skinned people as fellow voters? How will rightwing Venezuelans in US exile react knowing that they will be subject to US

Given that the Vatican has threatened Catholic abortion rights supporters with excommunication, we wonder if it is considering doing so to the Catholics in the Trump administration like Rubio and Vance who are complicit in violating the church's just war doctrine and other sins.

Raised as a Roman Catholic, Director Paul G. Buchanan had to confront Church complicity with murderous regimes in Argentina and other LATAM nations during his youth. Here a US Jewish writer does the same with regard to his identity and current events: equator.org/articles/we-ha…

Maybe Winston ordered Shane Jones to apologise to Nicola Willis for his weight loss joke--something Jones would never do out of genuine conscience and contrition--because Peters knows that Willis is the next leader of the National Party. Consider the email leaks in that context.

abandonment of NZ foreign policy independence/autonomy in favour of supination to the US as it grossly violates international law regarding the initiation/prosecution of armed conflict. What does Luxon expect from this exercise in derriere-smooching? Tariff relief? A State visit?

While the NZ media focused on Winston Peters leaking confidential emails from PM Luzon indicating that Luxon wanted NZ to align more closely in support of the US/Israeli war of aggression on Iran, the PM's stance viz the war itself is being downplayed. it amounts to a craven

Absurdity: After never mentioning security once prior as a reason to build a huge ballroom on the East Wing, Trump now says that he needs it for that main reason. His Justice Dept. then charges former FBI Director Comey over death threats because he put up a photo of seashells.

face of institutional impotence has raised stress and anger levels in US society. Add Trump's normalising of violent political rhetoric against scapegoats and those who oppose him and the stage is set for events like this. The sad truth is that Trump reaps what he sows.
