Judge Dismisses Trump’s Suit Against The Wall Street Journal

It has been said that Pres. Boof Head always avoided/feared Court actions as a property developer.
Since becoming the US no 1 litigator as President he has lost 17 cases straight. Now he has lost this one; on a pleading point!
How low can his standards go?

Gina Rinehart hosts One Nation donors in her private jet The fuel crisis was no barrier to the trio using the billionaire’s private jet to host a fundraising dinner.

Australia's lack of aviation fuel is no problem for Pauline & PHON. She & Baaarnaby have been flying around Sydney skies, going nowhere, wasting fuel & hosting a fund raiser on Gina's aeroplane. No wonder regional airfares are up as PHON voters get scammed again

Orbán’s 16-year rule over Hungary ends in crushing election defeat The Hungarian prime minister concedes to Péter Magyar, who is set to win a supermajority in the 199-seat parliament.

Hungarians see which way the wind is blowing in the US mid terms & ditch Orbán.
Next cab off the rank is Israelis who must vote by October. Will they see which way the wind is blowing in US mid-terms & ditch Bibi?

‘Blown to hell’: Trump orders naval blockade of Strait of Hormuz Donald Trump has said US forces will “interdict” any ships that pay tolls to Iran, in a move likely to roil markets and push up the price of oil.

Will Australia be conducting freedom of international navigation exercises? or does that only apply to China? or are all such exercises a waste of time/money?

Elon Musk with his body guards protecting him from women who want him to impregnate them? With the mid terms coming down the line he could need an anaconda shield? Maybe $ 1 billion to his favourite Democrat PAC might be a good start?

Albanese promised a gun buyback deal by March. It hasn’t happened The cost burden and perceived ‘deflection’ from other causes of the Bondi terror attack death toll have made states unwilling to sign up.

Budget deficit reduced as gun buyback deal is not taken up by Queensland & Victoria. Funny these are the states where police have most recently been murdered by crazed licensed shooters. No wonder Qld police are applying in droves to transfer south.

It took the US 20 years to lose Afghan war. 12 years to lose the Iraq war. 13 years to lose the Vietnam war. But it took Pres. Boof Head & the GOP only 4 weeks to lose the Iranian war? If you could win a war by bombing from the air then D day would never had happened Boof!

Fooled again by Bain capital. Virgin Australia listed on 24 June 2025 at $2.90 per share. Its price yesterday $2.26. These smarties (who endlessly lecture us on the economy in the AFR) should have spent their money on an EV?

Watchdog to probe fuel suppliers' behaviour The consumer watchdog has launched a probe into allegations of anti-competitive behaviour by major fuel suppliers amid supply issues.

We all know there has been price gouging. How can the same fuel in the same tank be worth 60 cents more almost overnight? But consider the chaos/hoarding/quequing that would have gone on if the new prices has waited for new fuel at that price to arrive?

Thinking ahead. What terms will Iran want with Saudi, Iraq, Kuwait, UAE, Bahrain, Oman & EU to end real war when Trump declares victory.
1 isolation of Israel
2 closure of US bases
3 end sanctions
4 compensation
They don't need security guarantees. They have Hormuz.

Iran now knows it can strangle the global economy, thanks to Trump Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz is an immediate crisis and a long-term one. Even if it relaxes its grip in the short term, it can tighten it again in future.

This article sums it up very well. If bombing alone could destroy a fanatical regime then there would have had no D Day in Europe. This is where narcisistic child like Boof Head, Netinyahu & his supporters have landed the world in disaster.
