Former US President George W Bush drew nervous laughter from a Texas audience when he accidentally described the 2003 invasion of Iraq as “brutal” and “wholly unjustified” instead of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine this year.

Episode 3… Now that we’ve found 38-year-old James “Jimmy” Amabile at the bottom of Darby Creek in his 2002 Green Ford Explorer, it’s time for the long and meticulous recovery of Jimmy before the SUV can be pulled from 24′ below the Ridley Township Municipal Marina.
This 4 part series documents Adventures With Purpose’s search for James Amabile, following the clues left behind, from a cell phone ping, last phone call, information from his family about insulin levels, and knowing that James woke up in a panic that he was late picking up his daughters from the babysitters, all playing a role in leading to the discovery of where James Amabile and his SUV had gone missing in the river 19-years earlier.

‘Bizarrely, wannabe PM Anthony Albanese and his two would be money managers Jim Chalmers and Katy Gallagher have come right out and admitted the Prime Minister is exactly right: yes, we, Labor, will deliver bigger budget deficits and add yet more billions to the debt.
They’ve tried to admit to only an extra 7.4 billion dollars – of both budget deficits and government debt.
We – and they- wish.
On their own figures, and making the most optimistic and generous assumptions, it has to be between that and 19 billion; and in my judgement closer to the $19 billion.
That’s the figure the trio say Labor’s promised new spending or cost in, just, the 4 years of the normal budget figures.
They are claiming they will make over $11 billion in cuts, so the $7.4 billion is the claimed net increase in spending, in the budget deficits, and the increase to government debt.
First off, all these numbers only go out four years.
The new spending doesn’t all come to a full stop in 2025-26.
Not only does it keep going, every year after that, it will keep getting bigger.
Anytime a government – Labor or Liberal – initiates a new program it starts a never-ending ever-rising spend.
Look at the NDIS. Worthy as it undoubtedly is, in 2021/22 it soaked up $30 billion.
You know how much it is going to cost, just four years later in 2025-26? Try $46 billion.
Furthermore, that $46 billion in 2025-26 will almost certainly be an under-estimate.
The budgets always underestimate what programs end up costing.
Again, just look at the NDIS.

JK Rowling has condemned the “utterly shameful” treatment of a teenage girl who felt forced to leave her school after pupils hounded her for challenging the views of a visiting speaker.
The author waded into the row after a teacher at the school claimed the unnamed girl was treated like a heretic for questioning a politician’s assertions about sex.
Add this to the tottering pile of evidence that people in education and academia who’re supposed to have a duty of care towards the young have succumbed to an outbreak of quasi-religious fanaticism. The girl’s crime? Saying ‘sex exists.’
Anthony Albanese is not the only one who has done it hard throughout life. I was just talking to a man who’s father came from Iran many years ago. His father reminds him that we live in a lucky country not because of our democracy, but because here we have a problem if we step over rubbish in the street. In Iran they stepped over dead bodies. If Albo wants to lead the country he can start by not playing the victim. We live in a very lucky country and we should all appreciate that.
And His father was witness to his best mate being shot in the face. So sorry Albo your boo hoo story does not stack up in the grand scheme of being a victim.
If Scott Morrison loses the election on Saturday despite a weak opposition leader, it will be because of the way he governed, not the way he campaigned…
That’s why an underwhelming challenger is now a good chance to lead Australia, despite Morrison’s acknowledged record on pandemic management.
Now, because Morrison has failed to govern with conviction, a Labor win would allow the ALP to claim a mandate for its convictions.

Why aren’t there more Pedros who will drag in Craig Kelly and other freedom-friendly party leaders/candidates to their radio shows?
For Craig to get a chance to speak on what is a lefty/woke hosts-audience show is an excellent opportunity. And both Kyle and Jackie treated him with courtesy and were interested in what he was saying. On some points, they were in agreement with him, too.
Kyle took up the issue of censorship, disinformation and truth and brought up the example of Biden’s laptop that turned from fake to fact.

Kristina Keneally’s bid to keep the southwestern Sydney seat of Fowler in Labor hands has suffered a setback after posters authorised by the party featuring independent candidate Dai Le were ordered to be removed
Ms Keneally’s campaign was on Thursday sent a legal letter from the Australian Government Solicitor on behalf of the Australian Electoral Commission…
The posters included a photoshopped image of Ms Le standing next to Prime Minister Scott Morrison with the words: “Dai Le and Scott Morrison: Don’t risk a Liberal government”.
Almost half of President Joe Biden’s current 22.2 million followers on Twitter are fake accounts, according to an audit tool provided by software company SparkToro.
SparkToro’s tool found that 49.3 percent of accounts following the official @POTUS Twitter account are “fake followers” based on analysis of a number of factors, including location issues, default profile images and new users.
