' AIR7 was over the scene at around 4:30 p.m. as several thousands of people gathered in Pershing Square in downtown L.A. to demand the president stop what they're calling an "assault on families, jobs, healthcare, and social security." '

Paul Keating again invokes reality into a deluded, deeply flawed Albanese led government. A govt that just makes one bad decision after another. With Aukus they are perpetuating Scott Morrison - how creepy is that. So deprived of intelligence and understanding of Australia’s geopolitical environment and actual threats - they decide to sell out to the U.S. and make Australia a big target for an otherwise tame regional superpower. Smart ? Definitely not.
If you have in your lifetime done business with the Americans you will know who ‘always’ win and who comes second.
Keating is 100% correct when he describes Australia as ‘suckers’ with Aukus because the deal is all one sided - with the UK on the winning side into the bargain.
Let us be crystal clear that with Aukus Australia is under the military control of the Americans - and with the 2 major parties - no ifs or buts about that

A meteor startled residents of New York City on Tuesday. The meteor flew over the city and broke apart about 46 kilometers above Midtown Manhattan. Some people reported hearing the meteor and feeling shaking but with no reports of damage or injuries. It was not clear if those sounds and vibrations were from the meteor or other activities.

Regarding the speech that Trump gave in the Bronx for clarification because the magats won’t accept the facts , at 11:00 am “ The View “ is on in that channel, there are no news at that time,the time stamp (11:09) is pm when the news reported the event in the news , in this audio you can hear that the news person was reporting that the place was almost empty, this rally was another failure like the one in New Jersey, they got 3,500 people at most because that was the limit that the authorities gave them.

Is #NLG there? Someone in a yellow vest is in earnest discussion with police. That almost never does anything once they start.

The ABC7 reporter is getting caught up. She keeps saying she's not seeing anyone being detained. I can assure you, in the Reuters feeds, we see groups of people being detained.

#ABC7 was just asked to move back a few feet.

The police have taken down more of the wall.

I still hear flash-bangs.

Crowd is still chanting.

It still looks like they're arresting protesters bit by bit.

The grounds are going to look like a mess after the police get done dismantling everything.

Chants of "Shame on you" now.

Police making "very slow progress."

Protesters using fire extinguishers to annoy police.

Library now a focus?

Okay, this looks like 2-3 hours of police arresting people (several were marched past the camera) and crowd control.

Still firing flash-bangs.

It appears a large group of protesters are sitting on the ground. The police will zip-tie and march them out, as they're doing now with others. They haven't reached them yet.

LAPD, Sheriffs, CHP, Santa Monica, Culver CIty police have all been to the protests. Unsure which groups are there now. All?

The police are firing round after round. Protesters are throwing things at the police. There are a lot of cops, and they are "methodically" going about their business at the moment. There is a large group of police held off by the crowd. The holdouts "will be peeled off, one by one, if they continue to protest."
