🚨BREAKING: A man whose shop was destroyed confronts the mayor of Lyon:
"Are you proud? Look at all the damage you have caused! You should be ashamed. You must resign! It's a disgrace! You are a DISGRACE to France!"
France is furious.

People who post pictures of their dogs on X probably think everyone wants to see their dog.
They’re right.
I don’t know you. I don’t know your dog.
But I love your dog.
Keep posting. X needs more dogs. 🐶❤️

Dirty Secrets of Politicians
Todays Feature:
Dan Repacholi, Labor MP
Turned comments off when people reminded him of his real thoughts.

Uniparty in action: Labor, the Coalition and the Greens just teamed up to block an inquiry into fair staffing.
The Prime Minister personally sets staff numbers for everyone, including his critics.
Labor: 507 advisers. More than 4 each. Albanese alone: 59.
Liberals & Greens: 1.5 each.
One Nation: only 0.8
We have an independent board that sets wages for politicians, why not the same for how many staff they get?
The major parties stop fighting each other the moment someone challenges the cartel.
Thanks to Senators Pocock, Babet and Payman for standing against it and supporting our inquiry.

To the guy who was also running to catch the train, saw me trip and fall on the platform, and actually turned around to come back for me instead of just carrying on with his life…
You pulled me up while yelling, “COME ON, BRO, WE CAN DO THIS!” and somehow managed to get us BOTH onto the train.
Bro, I don’t know your name, I don’t know where you were going, and I will probably never see you again, but please know that you have permanently altered my brain chemistry.
You could have kept running. You could have pretended you didn’t see me. Instead, you chose to become my personal motivational coach in the middle of a full-blown public transportation crisis.
I hope your pillow is always cold, your trains are always on time, your food is always delicious, and life gives you the same energy you gave me that day.
Because I swear, every time I’m struggling with something for the rest of my life, I will hear a random man screaming, “COME ON, BRO, WE CAN DO THIS!” directly into my soul.
I hope you know you’re an absolute legend. The world needs more people like you. ❤️😭

These CPS officers have never had anyone crush their narrative like this all while giving them nothing back in return.
Two Child Protective Services caseworkers show up at a resident’s front door alleging that threats were made against a family court judge via voicemail. Instead of allowing the confrontation to turn into an informal interrogation, the homeowner shuts down the inquiry at the threshold.
Here is the breakdown of why this encounter is a must see and what it reveals about administrative investigations.
Jurisdictional Realities vs. Bureaucratic Overreach: As the resident immediately points out, CPS is not a criminal law enforcement agency. If credible, actionable threats had truly been uttered against a judicial officer months prior, the RCMP or local law enforcement would have arrived with an arrest warrant, not social workers conducting an unscheduled fishing expedition.
Refusal to Self-Incriminate & "Contracting": When the caseworker attempts to probe into his mental health, the resident firmly refuses to engage, noting he has already undergone an official court assessment that cleared him completely. By keeping the document sealed and refusing to "contract" or answer unprompted questions, he denies the agency the opportunity to extract statements that could be twisted, decontextualized, and used against him in family court filings.
Protecting the Curtilage & Enforcing Formal Trespass: Without an active warrant or an exigent emergency involving the immediate safety of a child, caseworkers have no greater legal authority to remain on private property than any standard solicitor.
The homeowner repeatedly exercises his property rights, orders them to leave, and places the caseworkers on formal trespass notice the moment they step beyond his property boundary.
When government representatives show up without warrants, vague accusations can easily turn into self-inflicted legal traps if you do not understand where their authority ends and your rights begin. Your rights are like your muscles, if you fail to exercise them, they will fade away.
A mystical animal? I never would have thought.
The national animal of Scotland is the unicorn.
In Celtic mythology, the unicorn symbolized untamable pride, pure chivalric power, and wild freedom—the proud natural rival of the lion, which was adopted by England. King Robert III incorporated the legendary beast into the official Scottish Royal Arms back in the late 1300s, complete with heavy golden chains wrapped around its neck to signify that only a legitimate sovereign could subdue its untamed ferocity.

Well, that was wild. I'm at the Australian Parliament and just left a meeting with two staffers for the governing party. They told us that the government needed more power to censor things like the upcoming US execution of Nidal Hasan.
When I asked why they needed to censor that video, one said it was to prevent copycat killings. Copycat killings by governments? I asked. Er, no, they said. Copycat killings like of a backpacker, several decades ago.
So, under that logic, I pointed out, the government should censor things like last year's Bondi massacre, where two Muslims killed 15 people, no? Well, that was news, they said. Didn't they realize their bill would allow the government to censor news? They didn't seem to know, or care.
They also admitted that they did not know that the bill would allow the government to create and operate an unlimited number of fake social media accounts to attack its political enemies and spread disinformation. Having presented them with information they had never heard about a bill they had clearly not read, they emphasized to us, strenuously, that they were moving forward with the bill.
So there you have it. The government wants the power to arbitrarily censor scenes of violent crime, or violence, for any reason. And it wants the power to use an unlimited number of fake accounts to wage offensive disinformational warfare against the Australian people.
Given that the Bondi massacre last year increased public opposition to mass migration, and support for the populist One Nation Party, it seems obvious that the government wants to censor such events in order to protect its political power.
It's quite telling how obediently governing party members insist such a law is needed without even knowing what's in it.

We didn’t have this green thing back in my days
Checking out at K-Mart, the young cashier suggested to the older woman that she should bring her own grocery bags because plastic bags weren’t good for the environment
The woman apologised and explained, “We didn’t have this green thing back in my earlier days.”
The assistant responded, “That’s our problem today. Your generation did not care enough to save our environment for future generations.”
She was right - our generation didn’t have the green thing in its day. Back then, we returned milk bottles, soft drink bottles and beer bottles to the shop
The shop sent them back to the plant to be washed, sterilised and refilled, so it could use the same bottles over and over. So they really were recycled
But we didn’t have the green thing back in our day. We walked up stairs because we didn’t have an elevator or escalator in every store and office building
We walked to the grocers and didn’t climb into a 200-horsepower machine every time we had to go two blocks. But she was right. We didn’t have the green thing in our day
Back then, we washed the baby’s diapers because we didn’t have the throw-away kind. We dried clothes on a line, not in an energy gobbling machine burning up 2000 watts .. wind and solar power really did dry our clothes back then
Kids got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters, not always brand-new clothing.
But that young lady is right. We didn’t have the green thing back in our day. Back then, we had one TV or radio in the house - not a TV in every room. And the TV had a small screen the size of a handkerchief not a screen the size of the MCG
In the kitchen, we blended and stirred by hand because we didn’t have electric machines to do everything for us
When we packaged a fragile item to send in the post, we used wadded up old newspapers to cushion it, not Styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap.
Back then, we didn’t fire up an engine and burn gasoline just to cut the lawn. We used a push mower that ran on human power
We exercised by working so we didn’t need to go to a health club to run on treadmills that operate on electricity. But she’s right. We didn’t have the green thing back then
When we were thirsty we drank from a tap instead of drinking from a plastic bottle of water shipped from the other side of the world. We refilled writing pens with ink instead of buying a new pen, and we replaced the blades in a razor instead of throwing away the whole razor when the blade got dull
But we didn’t have the green thing back then. Back then, people took the bus and kids rode their bikes to school or walked instead of turning their mums into a 24-hour taxi service. We had one electrical socket in a room, not an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances. And we didn’t need a computerised gadget to receive a signal beamed from satellites 2,000 miles out in space in order to find the nearest fish and chip shop
But isn’t it sad the current generation laments how wasteful we old folks were just because we didn’t have the green thing back then?

Everyone remembers the legendary Wembley performance, but the real magic was captured here. During this rehearsal, George Michael already knew his partner was living with HIV, yet he sang with every ounce of emotion in his heart. Look closely at David Bowie in the background—he knew he was witnessing something truly unforgettable. This is what a real star looks like. ✨

Motorcyclists protested outside Victoria’s Parliament, demanding the Carroll Government do more to fix the potholes.
The rally came three weeks after 71-year-old Peter “Tiki” Mason was killed after hitting a pothole on the Western Highway at Trawalla.
This is a political failure. These roads have been neglected because the government misallocated taxpayer funds instead of maintaining them.
The danger was known long before Mason’s death. A fatality was only a matter of time, and the government accepted that risk.
Remember this in November.

This is the UK in 2026
A 92 year-old war disabled veteran, survived two world wars, parachuted onto the beaches of France to fight the Nazis, evaded constant enemy machine gun fire, escaped a prison camp or two…… Only in the end to be captured by his own British government . This is WAR against the people. Do You agree
