A perfect time to remember that politics is a farce and that these three great actors who brought that farce to life on our TVs are no longer with us.
One of the best lines of all time.

הנה האמת האחת והיחידה על תוצאות הבחירות: יש רוב מוצק ומוחלט נגד ממשלת נתניהו, בן גביר וסמוטריץ. והרוב הזה הוא יהודי-ערבי, ממש כמו החברה שלנו. אם ראשי מחנה השינוי לא ישכילו לתרגם את הרוב היהודי-ערבי לממשלה יהודית-ערבית - אז הרוב יתפרק וכולנו נפסיד.

Curtis Cheng was murdered 11 years ago by a teenage kid likely radicalised by his sister. One conspirator may soon be on parole. The broader story has been hard to get into media..here's something I wrote a while back 7news.com.au/news/crime/shad… dailytelegraph.com.au/truecr…

Assuming the Israeli exit polls are more or less accurate (not Ch. 14), there is now going to be huge pressure on Eisenkot and the opposition to form a unity government with Netanyahu. Doing so would be a big mistake, both substantively and politically 🧵

The Ramaswamy ad has pushed the largest newspaper in Ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, to reverse its position on endorsements. "A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party.  We are better than this. We have a responsibility to show it. Today we endorse Democrat Amy Acton for governor." cleveland.com/open/2026/10/w…

I feel more people should be discussing Pauline Hanson suing over a satirical song about her back in 1997 and 2003. @PPantsdown (Simon Hunt) released a song, 'I'm A Backdoor Man' that arranged Hanson soundbites to have her saying . . . 'I'm very proud that I'm not natural. I'm a backdoor man for the Ku Klux Klan' and 'I'm a very caring potato', among other words of wisdom. Interestingly, Hanson's so-called support of satire escaped her and through her lawyers, she lodged defamation proceedings in the QLD courts, arguing the satire was injurious and defamatory and the lyrics and audio imputations falsely portrayed her as: • a homosexual, a transvestite/man, or a prostitute • engaging in unnatural sexual practices or pedophilia • associating with the Ku Klux Klan • being a subhuman or a "caring potato" (please try to read that with a straight face) The proceedings resulted in the granting of an injunction in Pauline Hanson's favour restraining the continued publication of the satirical material. After remaining legally dormant for roughly five years, Hanson reactivated the existing defamation case in the Supreme Court of Queensland in mid-2003. Legal analysts and media noted that Hanson revived the lawsuit specifically around the same time she was facing high-profile criminal charges and prison time for electoral fraud. Anywhoo, it seems Pauline Hanson and her team of bald men are very happy to cruelly and sadistically mock others, especially women with disabilities, but when it comes to mocking Pauline, that so-called sense of humour suddenly vaporises. .

Former Miss Switzerland Beatrice Keul has just accused Trump of raping her in a hotel suite in 1993. Hey @grok , is this true? If so, why didn't she speak up at the time, or is this just political fiction?

🇫🇮🇳🇴🇷🇺 BREAKING: FINLAND AND NORWAY HOLD DIRECT TALKS WITH PUTIN AHEAD OF ABU DHABI MEETINGS Finnish President Alexander Stubb and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre held a joint phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin today, 27 October, from Helsinki. The call was initiated by Finland and Norway in consultation with Ukraine, following the 20 October meeting in Oslo. According to official statements from both governments: • The leaders discussed Russia's war against Ukraine and diplomatic efforts to end it. • The call was directly linked to upcoming diplomatic meetings in Abu Dhabi. • Both leaders urged a resumption of negotiations and reaffirmed their continued support for Ukraine. • Security and stability in the Baltic Sea region and the High North were also discussed. Notably, Stubb and Støre explicitly clarified that they spoke as leaders of their respective countries, not on behalf of Europe as a whole. Stubb described the discussion as "frank and substantive", while Støre emphasised the importance of de-escalation. Both countries share borders with Russia and are NATO members.

Remember the report is not classified. It's being kept under wraps because Tweeky Pete's Pentagon likes burying information that makes the bosses look bad, which this report almost certainly does.
The first F-35 was transferred to Canada on Oct. 9 and the second on Oct. 21. But DND and the RCAF won't say whether they have been given a potentially controversial report on the status of the F-35's modernization program. ottawacitizen.com/public-ser… via @ottawacitizen

BREAKING: TRUMP BETRAYAL! Zelensky reveals he offered the U.S. THREE OPTIONS to halt Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries — but Trump accepted NONE. President Volodymyr Zelensky just provided stark evidence of Donald Trump’s betrayal of America’s commitment to defend Ukraine from the Russian invasion of its sovereign territory. Trump has been pressuring Zelensky to unilaterally stop taking out Russia’s oil refining infrastructure, but the Ukrainian leader said in an interview with the Kyiv Post that the United States has met none of the three conditions he says his country requires before agreeing to a stop to its successful campaign to cripple Russia’s revenue-generating energy businesses. Therefore, the strikes continue. Here are the conditions that Zelensky said that Trump can choose from to convince Ukraine to impose a ban on blowing up Putin’s petroleum refineries: Option one: an “energy truce,” where Russia stops hitting Ukraine’s power infrastructure. “That is fair,” Zelensky said, and it’s hard to argue with that. Expecting Ukraine to stop hitting Russia, while its opponent continues to bomb away, makes no sense at all. Option two: enable Starlink coverage over Russia so Ukraine can show the U.S. where Russian ballistic missile launchers are and destroy them. Zelensky noted that Trump’s team has said Elon Musk doesn’t want to. Who the f@#k cares what Elon Musk wants? If Musk continues to be an obstacle, the U.S. should nationalize Starlink on security grounds and turn Ukraine’s spigot back on. Option three: if Starlink is off the table, give Ukraine missiles for its Patriot systems, something that “doesn’t depend on Musk or Putin.” Given the fact that the American military has blown through a significant portion of its arsenal in the misbegotten Iran war, this last option might be the toughest for Trump to fulfill. “Ukraine had received none of the three proposed forms of support,” he said. “That is why the reaction is what it is. We are fighting for our lives.” Zelensky also argued the refinery strikes can’t move global prices much, since Russia accounts for only 2% of global diesel exports and the other 98% comes from elsewhere. Zelensky smartly warned against lifting sanctions on Russia before negotiations, saying they were imposed in response to aggression, “not as a price for the mere opportunity to talk.” He said lifting them early would leave Ukraine without leverage and that rebuilding support for new sanctions after more than 20 packages would be hard, a warning that lands after Trump waived sanctions and tariffs on Russia. “I do not want us to find ourselves without any leverage,” he said. Meanwhile, the U.S. delegation went to St. Petersburg after talks in Oslo and then gave Kyiv a briefing. Now a broad meeting between Ukraine, the U.S., the EU and NATO is planned in Brussels this week. As long as Trump is in Vladimir Putin’s pocket, however, the prospect for successful negotiations is slim to none. Of course, the Kyiv Post is only reporting Zelensky’s point of view. The White House has not responded yet to his comments. But one of his points is hard to dodge: Ukraine is being asked to hold back while the other side keeps firing. Only a fool like Donald Trump would expect any invaded country to agree to a deal like that. Please like and share if you think Russia should end the war by withdrawing its forces from Ukrainian territories!

🚨BREAKING: House Judiciary Democrats just released a 50-page report accusing Donald Trump of participating in Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal sex schemes, and the cover-up by DOJ under Todd Blanche. The report cites the experiences of 11 women, FBI records and documents released through the Epstein Files Transparency Act. At least 5 women accused Trump of rape and sexual assault in Epstein’s company. It’s time Blanche releases the over 3 million Epstein files unredacted that he has refused to do. Expose every single one of these elite pedophiles that sex trafficked, abused and raped children. 🤬 yahoo.com/news/politics/arti…
