Hey folks, FWIW when you look at that headline photo, do you get the urge to laugh?
I know, right? Me neither.
Now if Jimeoin was in that photo, then it would be funny.
Just saying.

Its called living in the real world Cairns News and not the fkn Matrix!
Until this Satanic Filth mess is cleaned up, with our dear little children being trafficked and eaten by pedovores and pedophiles worldwide, and our very brave souls in the White Hat Military, Police and Civilians fighting this filth are safe from this evil along with our children, some of us won’t sleep!
I’ve provided MORE than enough evidence of this in the comment section including sources of my research.
But enjoy your show and don’t snore too loud and wake the neighbours! after you are comfortably home in your bed.
…..and not wake up in some fkn FEMA camp!
Where’s Jimeoin?
Oh dear is would be terrible to have a world outlook like yourself. Ed
I saw some comedians on Aus TV these last 4 years and to a person, all were woke. Lots of tin foil hat and cooker jokes but nothing at all insightful re the crime of century. Some are clever, witty, and in a perfect world I’d buy a ticket, but, they walked with ghouls and I haven’t seen any walk it back yet. I don’t watch much tell-lie-vision so perhaps some are on to it.
Yeah! Let’s have a good ol’ laugh while pedophiles are raping and killing children worldwide and the good guys and girls are losing their lives cleaning up this filth.
Oh and your lib/lab politicians support full term abortion….
Now theirs something to laugh about…NOT!
WAKE UP!
