"NSW Police quietly dismantled a taskforce set up to combat antisemitism, share intelligence and patrol high-risk Jewish events in the lead-up to the Bondi Beach terror attack, but won’t say who made the decision or why." smh.com.au/national/nsw/r…

"Only Filipinos can change and save themselves. No one single personality, entity, or organized group can do it for them. But for them to do that, they need to move forward. They need to make mistakes, take responsibility for their actions, and learn to stay the course..."

Recall... Does the Philippines really need a “Genuine Opposition”? 😮 getrealphilippines.com/2018/03/does-t…

"Trillanes was supposedly acting under the authority of President BS Aquino, he made representations with the Chinese government that ran counter to the discussions being undertaken with them by Secretary del Rosario who also answers to the President…"

Recall... Trillanes storms out of Senate after being outed for engaging in 'backroom negotiations' with China 😮 getrealphilippines.com/2012/09/trilla…

"The Philippine Senate is really all about pork. The Upper House has always struggled to justify its existence. Its relevance has long been the subject of debate. Indeed, no less than current Senate President Franklin Drilon once proposed that the Senate be abolished..."

Recall... Philippine Senate 'probe' on pork mule Ruby Tuason a complete waste of time 😮 getrealphilippines.com/2014/02/philip…

This is what happens when people rely on the Senate to "investigate" stuff and not the actual agencies whose job it is is to investigate stuff -- like the police and the National Bureau of Investigation.

@ABSCBNNews @JohnsonManabat Indeed... The false narrative of 11 "good" versus 13 "bad" Philippine senators: they're all THE SAME! 🤭 getrealphilippines.com/2026/05/the-fa…

"...tech leaders in Silicon Valley continue to encourage the idea that A.I. is on its way to having a godlike potential, dangerously powerful, and that A.I. could one day rule the world. Making this potential seem real drives up hype and stock prices." nytimes.com/2026/05/26/opi…

Why is everyone making such a BIG DEAL about what the pope has to say about artificial intelligence?

If you’re going to dine out on being Australia’s first woman prime minister, @JuliaGillard, you’re going to have to say accurately what a woman is.

"The Philippine story is one of a failed nation stillborn at birth because everything was under the control of the elites the whole time. It was true then. It’s still true now. Only the names have changed both among the politicians and the oligarchs."

The false narrative of 11 "good" versus 13 "bad" Philippine senators: they're all THE SAME! getrealphilippines.com/2026/05/the-fa…

The 11 versus the 13 as good versus bad framing is just the pot calling the kettle black. The senators were falling all over themselves currying favor with the Duterte administration during its time. The only opposition senators then were the Yellowidiots. Now there is a clear
