Howard Lutnick somehow dodged 9/11 while working at the World Trade Center and just happened to live next to Jeffrey Epstein. What are the odds of both of those things occurring?

Why does Pauline Hanson care if people speak Arabic or Mandarin at home? Who cares what people do in their own homes? I grew up speaking Polish at home. Bite me Pauline.

Ahead of Pauline Hanson taking the microphone at the National Press Club, Australians should know this Journalist Margo Kingston was organised a few weeks back to ask the first Q - then was phoned yesterday and told she could no longer ask any Qs because they "had no time left"

So long as they don’t breed… smh.com.au/business/companie…

The US didn't want to let the Iranian football team in the country because they were afraid all the women would leave with them

"Vladimir Putin drops a bombshell publicly: 'If Russia had committed just 10% of what Israel did in Gaza, NATO would now be at Moscow's gates.' 💥🇷🇺 'The West taught us that human rights begin and end where Israel's interests begin.' 🔥🎯"

RT @20thCenturyDan: The silence from the @PressClubAust in regard to the abusive treatment of journalist Sarah Martin is both deafening and…

Israeli Minister Ben-Gvir directly challenged Trump 🇺🇸Trump: "Israel has to stop escalating with Lebanon." 🇮🇱Ben-Gvir: "We can’t stop destroying houses in southern Lebanon. We can’t stop, period. We can’t allow the population of southern Lebanon to return even if Trump disagrees." Imagine saying this openly and yet, sadly, the whole world calls Iran a terrorist regime. Pure hypocrisy.

Italy decided to reopen its embassy in Tehran on Friday.

Senator Hanson’s Press Club speech was horrific. To the workers, women, trans people, the Muslim community, and everyone else targeted in her vile rant: know that the Greens utterly reject One Nation’s destructive politics and we’ll do all we can to stop them.

There was a time when other journalists would back a colleague subject to this type of abuse, or even walked out. Why the gutlessness yesterday?

Anyone surprised that on Jane Norman's track she would apply this censorship to a fellow journalist for asking a legitimate question? Jane is a Scott Morrison cheer leader from way back. Hard to stomach for her reporting bias, both then and now. Norman is a disgrace to the NPC

🚨 BREAKING ‼️ ​Iran warned that if Palestinian prisoners are executed, Israeli and American prisoners held in Iran, Lebanon, and Iraq will be executed in the same manner.

The Pulitzer Prize winning American journalist and author Chris Hedges was so very right. @PressClubAust is not a press club. It's just a club. #auspol #npc

🚨ÉPICO! Lula ACABA de DAR UMA AULA para os líderes mundiais durante o G7! "O mundo investiu US$ 3 trilhões em guerras e nem 10% disso para acabar com a fome." ENQUANTO ELES FALAM EM BOMBAS, LULA FALA EM COMIDA NA MESA DO POVO! 🇧🇷🦑👍

🚨 JUST IN: Sweden announced it will call on all countries to join South Africa's genocide case against Israel.

A few weeks ago we broke news Thales and the Australian gov are making explosives for the IDF. I assume you've noticed mainstream press hasn't followed this up? Anyway, I'm sure it has nothing to do with anything, but Thales is a sponsor of the National Press Club.

So, let's recap, shall we? This week the @PressClubAust managed to: * cancel at the last minute, the questions and subsequent presence of renowned journalist Margo Kingston, who’d travelled over 2 days to Canberra to ask her question of Pauline Hanson – and yes, they were questions initially requested and organised by the Press Club itself 9 days ago. * cancel the press gallery membership of long-term journalist, Greg Jericho, allegedly because he works for the @TheAusInstitute. Although Greg has been employed by the Aust Institute for 4 years, his membership cancellation only came yesterday after he publicly called out the Canberra press gallery - which is of course a highly fortuitous coincidence and not at all connected to his criticism. * somehow allowed a person or persons unknown to enter the Press Club premises and put up a 3 metre wide electronic banner, without anybody in the Press Club noticing them doing it. How several people enter a private club carrying something that large, then proceed to wire it up on an open stage and nobody at the premises noticed in any way, is yet another display of the NPC’s staggering incompetence. * release an unnecessarily detailed, high-school level statement about said banner incident, a statement that reeks of defensiveness and hysteria, while also prejudicially naming an alleged culprit and arguably sinking to the bottom of the barrel in terms of the journalistic standards it supposedly represents. Read it below and remind yourself that people who work with words for a living wrote that. * allowed the speaker, Pauline Hanson, to defame one of their own - a journalist from the Guardian who dared to ask a hard-hitting question - by calling her "trash". This was only weeks after calling the same journalist a "nasty bitch". Mirroring, Trump’s “Quiet piggy” incident, the journalist's alleged colleagues all sat mute, as did the moderator, Tom Connell from Sky News during the abuse. No rebuke, no blow-back, no support for their fellow journalist, standing alone under Hanson's hissing vitriol. Just pusillanimous silence. The National Press Club outdid their already dubious reputation this week, spraying themselves in a spectacular shower of self-inflicted shit – wall to wall, dripping effluent. Australians currently suffer some of the most timid, captured political journalism in the western world, and if the actions of the #NPC this week are the metric, then we can all see why. What a national and international embarrassment of an organisation meant to serve as a vital democratic institution and a cultural conscience – and one that has offered us neither. .

Pauline vows to axe the ‘Aboriginal Department’, the Climate Department, the Department that lets the migrants in, the Department that causes the inflation, the Department that puts up interest rates, and the Department that makes Gina pay tax.

What a pity Sarah Martin's journalist colleagues who were there at the time, couldn't do the same .
