This is the letter we sent to The Atlantic and Sarah Fitzpatrick BEFORE they published their hit piece on FBI Director @FBIDirectorKash. They were on notice that the claims were categorically false and defamatory. They published anyway. See you in court.

Mohamed Touré has now scored 8 goals and registered 3 assists since joining Norwich City. That’s a goal or assist every 37 minutes and a goal or assist every 12 touches. Ridiculous.

Excellent assist from Lucas Herrington (2007) against Messi’s Inter Miami. Yet another standout moment from the 18 year-old centre-back, who has had a brilliant start to his MLS career.

@Noahpinion Is this a rhetorical question? They’re doing what Putin wants, obviously. Orban doesn’t matter at all to the U.S., but he sure as hell matters to Putin.

Why is Hungary so important to JD Vance and the rightists anyway? It's not even a particularly important country within Europe.

Few things to keep top of mind with the BRS stuff as it plays out: - Paul Brereton the now (ironically) corrupt head of the National Anti Corruption Commission (NACC) started all this mud slinging at our soldiers when he did his report, the pre cursor to the Special Investigator. Brereton now has a second investigation into his links with defence companies etc while still being head of the NACC. Brereton it would appear uses his public positions to advance personal agendas. - The ‘journalist’ who has pursued BRS in a rather perverted fashion, Nick McKenzie from 60 minutes, has a rather loose and unethical approach to obtaining stories and that’s putting it nicely. Nick McKenzie is also neck deep in peddling conspiracies with Brereton and the NACC where tax dollars are pissed up a wall and resources wasted. - Andrew Hastie turned on his SAS brothers and gave evidence against BRS for personal gain, we should not allow Hastie to get away with his opportunistic betrayal. - The Special Investigator said today about the charges re BRS that none of the alleged victims families nor any afghani witnesses have been involved because investigators can’t travel to Afghanistan. BRS superiors have also denied ever seeing anything suspicious, it’s just turncoats like Hastie. It’s literally a case about the vibe of Nick McKenzie and 60mins. If I was the BRS defence team, I’d be licking my lips at the content of the Crown Brief and getting this before a jury quickly.

The Australian government just arrested our most decorated veteran from the Afghanistan War for alleged war crimes. Ben Roberts-Smith was awarded the Victoria Cross for Australia after singlehandedly storming two Taliban machine gun positions by himself in order to save his own SAS team. And this is how we repay him. I spoke to an Australian Afghan war veteran who told me that the Australian government literally paid for billboards in Afghanistan offering to pay random Afghans to come forward with war crime allegations. What country on Earth would do this to itself? Tell me: When does the Taliban plan on holding war crimes tribunals into their own people? When do the Taliban plan on holding themselves accountable for terrorism? Absolutely retarded to purge your own men when fighting a brutal barbaric enemy that respects no rules whatsoever. We are a cucked nation. Free Ben Roberts-Smith.

Craig Kelly:🇦🇺Foundation for Economic Education
There is something that doesn’t sit right when the Director of Public Prosecutions "sought consent from Attorney-General Michelle Rowland" to arrest Ben Robert Smith - when that very same Attorney-General was recently busted rorting her travel allowance, but face no penalty other than having to repay the money.

Fantastic news for Australian football. Dylan Scicluna (2004) is a hugely talented player who has had a sensational last few months for WSW. Top ball-winner who is comfortable on the ball and can break lines passing or dribbling. Would be in my Socceroos squad.
Adam Peacock@adampeacock3

On a day of working who wants to play for @Socceroos or who doesn’t, good news is Dylan Scicluna revealed to SEN Football he’s almost got his clearance through to switch allegiance from Malta to Australia. One of the best in ALM this season.

@NRSC How does he think this will work on Christians? It's so patronizing and insulting to hijack Jesus for cheap political points like this.

@clairlemon Is that because you already knew that some of the most powerful people think that women and children are their playthings and that they are above the law and should be beyond any criticism, or because you don’t care?

@johnnicolay Not my call. Having said that, I probably would have done something if I was in the country. But probably not a match report; those are sadly almost dead.

Not sure who picked this result before the match. A-League is impossible to predict. One of the many reasons why it's the best league in the world. And it's not close. #sydneyderby

@RichLowry Rich, you should remember that in the future, no-one is going to remember the distinction between people who were Nazis because they really believed it and people who were Nazis just because it kept them close to power.

Walz went to teach in China the year tanks rolled into Tiananmen Square and violently crushed pro-democracy protests. He visited the country 30 times. Did Harris ask Walz if he was a ChiCom spy or whether he had ever interacted with spies?
