Political Opinion

Don’t be naive, If you’re smart enough to understand the agenda of mainstream media, you ought to know the agenda of the media outlets you post about

i think this is probably true across much of Europe, too - it certainly makes you wonder how the hell they work out “official inflation figures”! :grimacing:

It would be great to hear from people from European countries about this issue.

Europe’s Collapse Begins: Germany Enters Recession As Forecasts Worsen

The EU collectively represents the third largest economy in the world, after China and the USA, with a population of 447 million people and 20 member countries that use the Euro, the second most widely held reserve currency after the USD. The five biggest countries in the EU by population are Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and Poland, and the region has a significant impact on the global economy.

My (poor) recollection was that under Reagan, somewhere between 1980-1988, the deal was that he(Reagan) would give amnesty for all the illegals in exchange for passing a law that would end illegal immigration. Reagan(R) did that. Congress(D) didn’t. EVER since then the D’s have said no enforcement(laws) without amnesty. The R’s have said you first.

You are correct sir.

My recollection is equally poor but I seem to recall only Democrat-run cities serving as sanctuary cities.

They’re hypocrites”: Republicans now funding the same voting methods they demonized under Trump

Former President Donald Trump and his Republican allies, who have long baselessly linked mail-in voting and so-called ballot harvesting to voter fraud, are now building programs that encourage these same practices.

Republicans with close ties to Trump are now attempting to raise hundreds of millions of dollars to develop robust initiatives that promote voting practices, similar to the ones employed by Democrats, that they once vilified after experiencing poor election outcomes in 2020 and 2022, according to The Washington Post.

“The big takeaway is that they’re hypocrites who will do anything to try to hold on to power,” Colorado’s Democratic Secretary of State Jena Griswold told Salon. “At this point, for years, the extreme right has launched a coordinated assault on democracy, on voting rights – all to create doubt in voters’ minds so that they can tilt elections in their favor, to set up the atmosphere to try to steal elections, and that has been their playbook.”

What is important to the market is not the actual goods in the cpi basket nor the value of same - it’s what the number was last time for the same basket - time being last period - 1 month, 1 qtr & 1 year.

General feeling in business right now is that those numbers have peaked and with slowing economies time for some panic selling - i.e. reducing prices to reduce stock.

Serious question, Why do you get upset about American politics?

It’s one thing to be interested in it, but when you get your emotional feelings involved, strange behavior.

Globally, there seem to be many problems.

Australia tipped to be second worst economy in Asia-Pacific

As the cost-of-living crisis continues to strain households budgets, Aussies are in for more woeful news as the country’s economy is forecasted to become the second worst performing in the Asia-Pacific region over the next two years.

This is all reactionary to government policy, e.g. rising interest rates and printing trillions of dollars out of thin air

Anyone how criticizes the government ( even long-time leftists) is labeled by the identity politics crowd as Extreme or Far Right

What ever happen to the far left? you know the people who protest the government for everything from what is in our food, to endless foreign wars. They have all just disappeared

here is a pretty good reason

There is no doubt that government intelligence agencies are closely monitoring any group posing a threat to their country

ASIO devoting more resources to growing threat of extreme right-wing domestic terror

The only Nazi’s we have in Australia are a handful of angry young men who stood in front of a Government building and raised their arms in a Führer Salute…

Anti Paedophilia Warriors… Oh, the Horror!!

Must have upset the all the Wokey Self Obsessed Leftists out there…Nothing but a beat up…

@Dennis3450 pointed out in a previous post… The Global definition of Extreme Right Wing is anyone who questions Government policy… And Boy… Democracies across the Globe desperately need the questioning of Government Policy… Especially in this current incompetent, corrupt and authoritarian Political environment…

The Media salivate at the idea of publishing constant fear propaganda which unfortunately sells Newsprint…

Pandemics, Viruses, Climate Emergencies, A.I., and their latest construct…

MAJOR INVESTIGATION: Targeting Australia’s largest neo-Nazi group

The Age and Sydney Morning Herald to infiltrate and expose a toxic and rotting world of hate. Reporter Nick McKenzie has been working on this clandestine operation for the past eight months. The threat is so significant Australia’s top spy, the director-general of ASIO has agreed to his first major television interview. “This is of grave concern to ASIO, and should be of grave concern to all Australians,” Mike Burgess tells McKenzie.

@SmallPaul Good to see you are learning a bit about Australia… Most Americans are clueless about events and geography outside of the US Borders…

FWIW 60 Minutes Australia is viewed as sensationalist journalism… Not to be taken seriously… That’s why the comments on their YouTube channel is closed…

The Left Wing Extremists that govern your failed Sanctuary Cities have more blood on their hands than any Right Wing nutters… You should be more concerned with the hundred’s if not thousands of gun deaths caused by their ridiculous defund the Police polices in Detroit, Chicago, Kenosha, Los Angeles, New York…

That mass shooter in this story was in New Zealand… Same as say a Bermudian going nuts and shooting up a church in… Bermuda

How many actual criminal acts were shown in this story…? NONE…

How many of these so called violent neo-Nazi’s have been arrested for gun or violence related crimes…? ZERO…

This beat up of a story is more about alienating those that don’t agree with Australian Politics… Sure they have their own messed up ideas… But last time I looked here in Australia it was free to believe in whatever you want… Even Ancient Myths.… As long as you don’t impinge on others in the community…

I’m more worried about recalcitrant Leftist Governments in this country than so called neo-Nazi right wing extremists…

Don’t get too upset… Hey, stay in that Rabbit-Hole… You may find something of actual interest…
