God help the USA https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2024/01/07/poll-trump-iowa-enten-acostanr-vpx.cnn CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten breaks down new polling that shows a majority of Republican voters believe Trump's debunked election lie and a plurality believe FBI operatives were behind the riots at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. https://www.reddit.com/r/Cleveland/comments/18xn2v4/just_an_alert_epoch_times_buying_ads_on_led/?rdt=50205 Epoch Times saying they're "#1 trusted news." Is this what social promotion has unleashed on the USA? The inability to think and reason? |

The mad Abbott of Texass further proves himself a murdering bible bashing lowlife. Woman, 2 children die crossing Rio Grande as Border Patrol says it was prevented from intervening. He certainly can't stand on his morals, let alone anything else. I wonder when he'll start shooting them. Texas national guards use riot shields to hold back horde of migrants trying to cross through razor wire in Eagle Pass with one person hurling a rock towards a soldier's head. |

The rich get richer while the number of poor grows faster. The filthy rich have enjoyed an unprecedented uplift in their fortunes, all while the rest of the world suffers. .....Oxfam found that since 2020, the richest five men in the world – Elon Musk, Bernard Arnault, Jeff Bezos, Larry Ellison and Mark Zuckerberg – have doubled their fortunes.These people certainly need to pay more taxes (that's if they're paying any at all). |

These people certainly need to pay more taxes (that's if they're paying any at all). But the dumb MAGAGOP want to give the rich even more and cut taxes. It is far to easy to con the ignorant. |

Also they get to complain about the national debt so they can cut safety net programs. |

It's just a shame that there arn't more like this small group. 250 of the world’s rich listers have asked to be taxed more, with one young heiress saying she wants to escape the “swamp” of her huge wealth. Many millionaires and billionaires are infamous for moving their wealth around to skirt taxes, but a small group has set out to do the opposite. |

I would love to know just who serves on company remuneration committees. British Gas CEO says it's impossible to justify his salary Ah, the debates held on this board over just that. |

Well Donny caused an influx of American accents here, but the Irish accent is on the rise here of late and they don't have a Donny. Or do they? The number of Irish people moving to Australia more than doubled in 2023, causing headaches at home. But those who move aren’t looking back. Tens of thousands of Irish people were approved to live and work in Australia in 2023 sparking concern at home – but those who made the move aren’t looking back. |

Now we know who is behind MAGA https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68185317 Popular Chinese outlets have been suggesting that events in Texas have led to deep divisions in the US widening to a point where unrest has become a stark reality. |

The problem is growing. :-( Mulch containing asbestos has been identified in at least 22 sites in NSW — how is this happening? A child incidentally took a piece of bonded asbestos home from mulch at a newly opened park in Sydney a month ago.The stuff has been banned here since the '80's so are they mulching old fibro houses? |

And it's well past time for this farce to end. Federal MPs pass motion urging US and UK to allow Julian Assange's return to Australia. The prime minister and other federal MPs have voted in favour of a motion urging the United States and the United Kingdom to end the prosecution of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and allow his return to Australia. |

It maybe time for our national capitol to get with the times and agenda and start building high density living instead of having the place look like suburbia in the middle of nowhere. Housing development that could house 30,000 people may see NSW-ACT border moved. The pollies down there are always urging the states for higher density living and surely it's time for them to do the same and show the same initiative by building some high rise stuff themselves. |

You really have to wonder what their parents are like to have such privileged little pr!#ks for sons. Former female staff at Sydney's elite Cranbrook School warn of 'toxic' culture as it prepares to go co-ed. I pity those first 40 female students that are set to attend that school. |

Left-wing extremists from a “Vulkan Group” today carried out an attack on the power supply of the Tesla gigafactory Grünheide near Berlin. The surrounding villages and the entire factory are without power. Production in the only European Tesla factory was stopped. The extremists torched a pylon connecting the 110 kilovolts overhead line to the underground cable supplying the factory. Source: news, main article in: "MAZ - Märkische Allgemeine Zeitung", regional newspaper (in German), photos... There have been previous attempts in recent years by this group to carry out attacks on the construction site of Tesla's gigafactory. excerpt of a letter of confession found after similar attacks: “Let the air out of the tires of fat cars? Great. Even better: set Teslas on fire everywhere! A few grill lighters and spring can begin!”After our nuclear power plants are shut down, the coal-fired ones are facing the end; combustion engines soon banned, the next target is: Tesla, owned by a super-rich capitalist who brutally exploits the working class to accumulate more wealth. |

Since way back in the late 80's they've been constantly told that they were over doing it, but did they listen? No they didn't and now a lot are whinging because their crops are virtually worthless. Riverland grape growers call for moratorium on vine plantings to ease red wine oversupply crisis. Grape growers in the nation's biggest wine region are calling for a moratorium on planting vines in a bid to solve the red wine oversupply crisis. |

This elitist school is again back in the news for more of the wrongs reasons. Cranbrook School headmaster Nicholas Sampson resigns from private Sydney boys' school. Sounds like this school is in bad need of a thorough clean out as well as getting rid of any "old boys" on the school council (of which there are usually several of the privileged pr!#ks embedded in them). |

A bit of chemical castration wouldn't go astray with this pair. Court approves UK's extradition request of online influencer Andrew Tate and his brother. A Romanian court has approved a British request to extradite internet personality Andrew Tate and his brother, but only after local legal proceedings have finished.But will they do a runner? |
