Tuesday Truth: How Donald Trump’s Taxpayer-Funded Ads and Policies Prove Everything is Worse Under His Leadership
by Winston Wendell The situation in the country under president Donald Trump is rather alarming for the majority of the American people, recent polls place him at a 32% approval. More specifically, the fact that the President uses federal funds to promote his own political goals and image by running ads on him is simply unacceptable. It is difficult to believe that the people who work in the White House and make decisions for the entire country watch these ads and do not feel ashamed of […] -

Trump’s AI Gambit: Public Land for Private Profit
by Winston Wendell Donald Trump has pursued one scandalous policy after another in his second term. One of the latest initiatives that perfectly represents the president’s disregard for the public interest in favor of big business. In essence, the policy allows big tech companies to score a decade-long billion-dollar tax break by building AI data centers on public lands. One commentator has summarized the issue by noting that tax breaks are nothing more than a “windfall” given to […]https://bluepress.blog/2026/09/21/trumps-ai-gambit-public-land-for-private-profit/

THE RED HATS LOST THEIR VOICE -
CRUELTY AS AUSTRALIAN POLICY 💎
I’ve been watching a documentary on ABC iView about the Tampa affair. Twenty-five years later, what disturbs me most is not the argument about borders. It is the deliberate use of human suffering as political policy.
In 2001, Tampa rescued 433 asylum seekers from a sinking boat. The Howard government refused to let them land in Australia and sent SAS troops aboard the ship. This wasn't happening in some political vacuum. It happened in the lead-up to a federal election, and a subsequent Senate inquiry described Tampa as providing an opportunity for a hardline political response that was well received in the polls.
That matters.
A Federal Court judge initially found that the Commonwealth had detained the people aboard the Tampa without lawful authority. That decision was later overturned by a majority of the Full Federal Court, and Parliament subsequently passed legislation retrospectively validating Commonwealth actions relating to Tampa.
So I am not going to pretend the legal history is simpler than it is. But legality and morality are not the same thing. Governments make laws. Governments change laws. Governments can even retrospectively protect actions they have already taken.
None of that answers the question that matters to me:
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A GOVERNMENT DECIDES THAT MAKING SOME HUMAN BEINGS SUFFER WILL SEND A USEFUL MESSAGE TO OTHERS?
Call it deterrence if you like. The human being experiencing it still calls it suffering. I don't care whether the government doing it is left, right, Australian, American, Israeli, Chinese or anything else. Political office is not a moral exemption.
Borders can be controlled. Laws can be enforced. Difficult decisions can be made. But the moment human suffering becomes useful to a political strategy, we should be frightened. Because people are no longer being governed.
They are being used.
