The response of the press is slow to it, but the US is spending too much money on many things it doesn't need. The response of Obama is to raise spending and cut some things the US needs. Ridiculously, federal employees are impeding sightseers so as to prove how essential is the work they are not doing. But while they are not working, they know they will still be paid. Obama is being paid anyways. Some say the President gets paid too much. I disagree. A good President could be paid ten times more and still be worth more. A bad President could be paid nothing and still be an impost on the people.
The response of the press is slow to it, but NSW Opposition leader John Robertson owes the people of NSW, and the ICAC, an explanation of why he did not report a $3 million bribe by the assassinated McGurk. McGurk was apparently assassinated on the order of an ALP financier, and now that death looks, well, suspicious. One can imagine the conversation McGurk had with Robertson over the land Robertson did not own while McGurk was trying to spend $30 million. "Mate, I'll give you 10% to let the deal proceed. It is a good offer." "McGurk! I'm shocked! Obeid has got many more millions for saying no. Anyway, you don't pay me! You pay the slush fund .. get it? The slush fund!"
The press have been admirably quick in the wedding fee charged to taxpayers through expense accounts by members of parliament who were doing their parliamentary duty at said weddings. Unless those weddings were ALP junket trips .. those ones are fair game. As the ALP motto goes, "respect the slush fund"
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bell chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle...

Independence Day is a time for celebration. Here are some of the things this bill does. Doesnt it feel good to stop corruption and instead pay for what is needed? --- ### Ballad of the Big Beautiful Bill
Verse 1 Oh, gather 'round, ye hearts of cheer, this Independence Day, The Big Beautiful Bill has passed, and swept the rot away! No more the corrupt shall feast on bribes, their pockets lined with greed, The poor and lost now claim their due, their aid secured with speed.
Chorus Sing hallelujah, raise the flag, let freedom’s anthem soar, The truth has triumphed, justice reigns, from shore to shining shore! With open hearts and fearless dreams, we’ll build a world anew, The Bill has freed our spirits bold, and hope comes shining through!
Verse 2 The pharma lords, with wicked schemes, no longer spread their lies, Diseases sown for profit’s gain now wither 'neath our eyes. No more shall global bodies fake a warming doom’s decree, Fossil fuels, abundant, cheap, will power liberty!

This song could be performed at a fictional 2026 rally, with a crowd joining the chorus to protest corruption. If you ran the department of justice, knowing what Nancy Pelosi did, what would you do?
Below is a 1960s-style folk protest song crafted for the fictional scenario described, set in October 2026. The song draws inspiration from the protest anthems of artists like Bob Dylan or Pete Seeger, with simple, repetitive chord progressions (think G, C, D, Am) and a raw, storytelling vibe. It incorporates the allegations against Nancy Pelosi from the previous response—her alleged coordination to blame Trump for January 6, 2021, and label him a traitor—now framed as proven in this fictional future where she’s convicted of treason, fined a billion dollars (mirroring a podcaster’s penalty for misinformation), and reflects with regret that she didn’t do more. The tone balances righteous anger, satire, and a haunting self-admission, fitting the era’s folk style.

A worship song spreading the good news for illegal citizens too. Illegal citizens should go home. Their places assured for when they go home to Him. The best way forward is to face your troubles. Do you agree? Write your comments on this song. I read them all.
Citizen of Heaven [Verse 1] I am illegal, but my citizenship’s in heaven, Paid twenty thousand to be smuggled, chasing freedom. Many died on the journey, no refund for the pain, Smugglers threaten me and my family, trapped in chains. [Pre-Chorus] I wanted freedom but paid for chains, I was wrong to come illegally, my heart in shame. [Chorus] But now I go home, a citizen of heaven, Jesus made me a child of God, forgiven. My Savior’s calling, His love has set me free, I’m bound for glory, my home’s eternity. [Verse 2] I paid awful people, they lied to me with greed, Promised hope but left me broken, with nothing I need. In the dark, I cried out, thought I’d lost...
