"It's more than just a possibility; it's certainly a probability; and it's probably a certainty." John Ratcliffe, former DNI on lab origin
Covid was made in a lab, but wasn’t an accidental leak The apocalyptic Wuhan scenes weren’t seen anywhere else. Covid never killed like that. That was propaganda Propaganda isn’t consistent with an embarrassing accidental leak Why would CCP overhype an accident? They wouldn’t
It’s absurd that every time there’s a pilot murder suicide, whether it’s SilkAir, EgyptAir, Malaysia Airlines, China Eastern, or now Air India, the response is to tiptoe around cultural sensitivities. The only time the response wasn’t distorted by that kind of self-censorship was…
“To make a next American century, we must rekindle that flame…The time for timidity has long since passed. Small groups of audacious men built our nation. Now, it falls to us to reindustrialize it—and in doing so, to carve out a new American century.” 8/8
“The full promise of reindustrialization is a recovery of both the material and the spiritual ingredients for greatness. By building and asserting ourselves once more—by insisting upon ourselves, without apology or shame—we remember who we are: a nation and a people forged in the…
“We are securing from other countries the rights to the raw materials we need—rather than giving them lessons about democracy. This philosophy takes, as its first principle, that America is not an idea to be exported, but a real nation and people, united by our past and our…
“This is the genius of President Trump’s America First foreign policy. Through diplomacy we are putting our immense leverage as a superpower to work for these interests—rather than sectional lobbies or the abstract ‘global community.’” 5/
“In the 21st century, America and its civilizational allies will face a choice. We can do the work to rebuild our nation. Or we can watch as our technology and our national defense are held hostage to regimes that share neither our way of life nor our aspirations as a country and…
“Above all else, what sets America apart from the rest of the world is our people…America is a nation of pioneers, explorers, and inventors.” 3/
“Americans are different from the rest of the world. Everyone knows it, but not everyone knows why. Some say it’s our Constitution, or our political traditions, or our vast landmass. But that’s not the whole story.” 2/ americanmind.org/salvo/building…
Counselor Mike Needham gave an important speech at last week’s Reindustrialize conference. Under President Trump and Secretary Hegseth’s leadership, we at DOD are laser-focused on restoring America’s defense industrial base to its prior strength. This task is vital to the…

Rudd on Trump This guy is a problem, he is an objective problem, for the world, for the region, for my country The Republican party have a deep responsiblity , to begin the process of his removal by constitutional means." Oxford Union 2017 Trump on Rudd. He won’t be there long
Australia needs to replace Rudd as ambassador to US Rudd made inflammatory comments after 2020 assuming Trump would not win in 2024. He deleted these, but the damage is done If @AlboMP & Rudd are serious about the relationship, both should acknowledge this and replace him
Let’s simplify things for the stupid among us. 1. China hate our guts. Interact accordingly. 2. The US is the world’s greatest power and our firm and long standing ally. We are defenceless without the US. 3. The US supports our way of life. China doesn’t. Clear enough?
Australia's $51b international student 'export' is one of the biggest accounting frauds in Australia's history. Blue line shows the truth- money's not going IN, it's draining OUT at A$15b+/year. We're not exporting education, we're importing poverty and exporting our wealth.
'Indian students drain money from Australia' 'International education is purported to be Australia’s fourth-largest export, valued by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) at $51 billion in 2023-24' #ausbiz macrobusiness.com.au/2025/07/indian…
SUSPECT: Did Australian PM @AlboMP and Canadian PM @MarkJCarney secretly meet at Amberley RAAF Base in Brisbane before Albo took off to China? Both aircraft didn’t include Amberley in their destination, both aircraft appeared to be in Amberley on 11 July 2025. Media Blackout?
Please don’t try this at home. Just don’t.

Shocking, really shocking that a price cap reduces supply and makes things worse. If socialists understood economics, they wouldn’t be socialists.
Where were you #OTD (in fact, on this exact day – Friday, July 18th, 1969) 56 years ago? I can tell you where I was…on the way to the Moon! Happy #Apollo11 Friday!
New documentary on Covid origins (filmed 2023) featuring key people on both sides of the debate. On the lab leak side; @Ayjchan, DRASTIC represented by @gdemaneuf and @ydeigin, US policy experts David Asher, Jeffrey Sachs and @JamieMetzl, and journalists @emilyakopp and…
