I Am Simply Flabbergasted

Hello Patrons,
We've got something unique for you this week. Recently Jordan went down and visited Zeher Khalil from the channel Site Inspections.

We think it's important to have a lo...

I Hate This

[Early Access]

Hello Patrons,
We're back with your regular weekly video and this time it's here a few days before the public wil see it. It's been a while since Jordan made a video listing out some of the things he thinks are being handled correctly and the most reasonable opportunity to do that is after the budget.

Keep an eye out for a video suggestion poll later in the week....

Antisemitism?

Hello Patrons,

From the Q&As we've been doing we know this is a topic many of you have a very close eye on. We've made another video on the war in Gaza, specifically we're focusing on how the Murdoch press have been addressing it.

After years and years battling snowflake university students and staunchly defending free speech they've finally found something that truly triggers...

Of course we couldn't resist including the clip of Shorten battering Dutton on Channel 9 but let's take a look into what is actually being said in that clip.

Tomorrow we'...

Afghan War whistleblower David McBride has been jailed for almost six years. This is a disappointing result and there'll be more details to go through later but for now here is a breakdown of what we think that means for this country.

Australia's "Best" Journalists

[Early Access]

Hello Patrons,
We've done a lot of stories on Afghan War whistleblower David Mcbride. Now the ABC, who first broke Mcbride's story, have spoken out after years of barely mentioned him.

Something a bit different for you this week. Rather than a regular political video we've got a small update message just for you saying why we're still silent on the public front.
