If you cannot stand against unruly violence to a human simply because he/she holds a different political, social or religious belief, then brothers and sisters, you’ve lost something fundamental about being human.
May Allah bless all our so-called liberal, high-profile "civil society" full of "progressive intellectuals."
I am told I was really needed here so, Here I am everyone.
I'll be doing the honours of putting out some of my very important posts and podcasts, here, so as many who will come across my profile can engage 😁 😉.
Predictable like clockwork, Trump accuses the newly released Epstein e-mails of being a hoax.
How does that even work?
These e-mails came from the Epstein Estate. They were stored on and timestamped by a Gmail server. They were reviewed by the FBI and shared with Republicans on The House Oversight Committee, so how could Democrats fake that?
Is he saying Democrats took a time machine back to 2011 to get Jeffrey Epstein to write that Trump spent hours with one of the rape victims?
1776percent_american: This year | am dressing up as a Liberal for
Halloween. When the kids knock, | will take
half of their candy and give it to the other kids who are too lazy to go trick-or-treating.
Let's see how this lands.

Or you can take all of their candy and give it
to the richest people you know. Then you'll be a Republican.
"Popular #music may not be satanic, but #MAGA is right to see it as mostly #liberal. That’s why they fear it. Far from avoiding transcendent artistic experiences, the left can lay claim to most of them. Most everything from Taylor #Swift to the grittiest punk music is made by people on the left. That’s why evangelicals want their kids to avoid it. They rightly believe that it’s hard to go back to mediocrity after you’ve tasted excellence."

jballs Liberals do not understand integrity. So many are laughing because he died by one of the very rights he fought to preserve. The truth is, I don't think Charlie would change his stance on the 2nd Amendment today, if we could ask him.
What he said was true. You drive cars and there are accidents and intentional homicides regularly. Why aren't you fighting to get cars off the streets? Kids die from alcohol poisoning. Let's get rid of alcohol. Use your brains, people. #liberal

Neben dem Cover des Buches »Der Lehrling und sein Meister« stehen die Begriffe ›Liberale Tradition‹ und ›Faschismus‹. Beide verbindet das zwischen beiden stehende Händedruck-Emoji.
The Republican party has shifted ideologies and kept its base. It went from free trade to tariffs, fiscal responsibility to huge tax cuts, Cold Warriors to isolationists. Democrats, meanwhile, have lost their ideological anchor: liberalism.
More from a historian whose new book “Why Everyone Hates White Liberals (Including White Liberals): A History” is out this month ⬇️
“‘His knowledge of the works in our collection was extraordinary, and he instantly understood the arc of art history and the way that we’ve deployed the collection to tell that story,’ Mitzevich says.
“He stopped in front of #BluePoles and said ‘Oh, well, this is one of the most important works of the 20th century, and you’ve hung it next to a work by [#Pollock’s wife Lee Krasner], oh and look at the de Kooning in dialogue’. And he was equally fascinated by things that he hadn’t seen before, like #SidneyNolan’s #NedKelly [series].” A)

“In 2016 a new #Liberal senator, a mere stripling of twenty-eight years, had a foolproof idea for getting himself noticed. #JamesPaterson told the media the government should sell #JacksonPollock’s #abstract#expressionist masterpiece, Blue Poles.
“Some people feel like they’ve got a real attachment to Blue Poles, and I understand that,” said Paterson, who had come to parliament from the free-market #InstituteofPublicAffairs. “I don’t think it’s a good enough reason for the Australian government to tie up such a significant amount of #money in a single painting which is hung in a #gallery in #Canberra most of the year, and which most #Australians won’t ever see face to face in their #lifetimes. It’ll only be #worth something to #taxpayers when we #sell it.” B)
A person admires Blue Poles from afar. As a young Art student I crept right up close to take a look at the brush strokes. And to my surprise, flakes of paint gathered beneath the painting. It looks like you can’t do it now.
“People obviously are over the ads and just want #election day out of the way and get on with their lives. I get all of that. But you know, we live in the greatest #country in the world. It’s worth #fighting for and #protecting and #defending and that’s what the #debate is about”
“I think #alcohol is the first essential ingredient, I’m sure of that, responsible drinking as well, but NOT WATCHING THE ABC would be a good start.
For the young ones, #listening at home, FORGET THE ABC. And if you do that, you can probably start with a good night.” — #PeterDutton
A reminder that LNP Senator #JamesPatterson would sell the #JacksonPollock, “Blue Poles” at the NG if given the chance because (paraphrased), The Australian Government shouldn’t keep and maintain expensive Art”.
That’s right, we’re now at Dutton’s 15th PETROL STATION PHOTO-OP of the #campaign – that’s 15 – at a truck stop in #Aston. Dutton’s plan to cut the fuel excise by 25 cents per litre is getting a major airing in his campaign material, the backdrops of his #PressConferences, and his #photo#opportunities.”
The #escalation comes after a #worker from the council, which the #Liberals say is friendly to #independent MP #MoniqueRyan, was filmed confiscating a Liberals sign reading "Monique, please DO NOT take this sign!".”
#AngusTaylor (Opposition Treasurer, Liberal) hands in his #Economics homework late, it’s got problems.
A 🎃 derivative that is toxic ☢️
“A Coalition government would drive the #budget deeper into #deficit over the coming two years, as the shadow finance minister, #JaneHume, insisted her party’s plan to save $17.2bn by #slashing the number of #Canberra-based #PublicServants by 41,000 through “natural attrition” was achievable.”
#Reversing tax incentives for green hydrogen would save $1.5bn over four years, and not proceeding with Labor’s critical mineral production tax credits would save $1.2bn, the Coalition’s election policy costings show.”
On Monday evening, the #AustralianInstituteForProgress released a “Can you afford the Greens?” video advertisement pushing claims, based on its own commissioned research, that the Greens’ housing policies would lead to increased #rents.
Despite the dangers being dismissed by Labor☢️ (AUKUS) and the Coalition ☢️, Caldicott remains concerned about #NuclearWaste being improperly stored in #Australia and contaminating water supplies – or even a #Chernobyl-like #reactor meltdown.
“It’s not being discussed at all, which is amazing to me”, Caldicott says. “People are very ignorant.”” — #HelenCaldicott MD
Q Where is the hottest Nuclear waste in Australia right now? (hint 1950s Nuclear tests exploding #Plutonium above ground)
The survey also found fewer people thought any benefits of #NuclearPower ☢️ outweighed the #risks compared with the previous year.
Even among #people intending to vote #Liberal, support for #nuclear ☢️ power was not overwhelming, with only 53% in favour of the party’s intention to lift the #NationalBan if elected.”
“A #Coalition government would divert more than 10% of annual government funding for #CreativeAustralia to a single cultural project and unspecified broadcasting programs if elected at Saturday’s federal election.
Too soon?
