Not at all surprising.

Biden Nominee Thinks US Elections Are Anti-Democratic
They are, but undoubtedly NOT for the reason the “nominee” thinks.
Just reading the Wiki entry on Philip Wylie, he wrote Generation of Vipers, where he introduced the term Momism, as well as much else.
“Show us yer stretch marks!” …. usually sorts ’em out.
The response usually filters the real mums from the angry young women with no life experience but plenty of daddy issues.

At one stage he was reversing moderated comments only at times to be sin binned again. Wonder if he was leant by the DT on because he seemed to give up very quickly on that practise.
Honestly don’t know why he perseveres even with the money. He has enough of a profile to be easily snapped up by a bigger overseas player as Rita is starting to find and Miranda already found out.
HBBear:
The middle third – they will get there, but they will do it at their own glacial pace. They won’t be rushed. It’s just a matter of being patient.
I notice that Austria is going for the escalate factor.
Bad move – the middle third will move when you threaten their kids and try to trample on parents rights.
We are winning because the Brahmins are arrogant and cannot see what they are doing wrong.

Paraphrase the New York Times and interview their own children after preschool. Collect free housing and probably about 200K per year. Go into politics afterwards.

They’re all on the payroll, hence why they rollover – thus the need to end massive rivers of government gold vis a vis government advertising.

Hi Dot
All Advertising is a Protection Racket, the Advertiser pays for no bad publicity for his product.
Tell us how Libertarians propose to end this Racket.
Or, is the Protection Racket an example of Libertarianism in action?
Every product, brand, regime, ideology and charity has had or will advertise.
You know what to do.
Maybe you should get heavily into the immolation of the self ideology, Grigory.
Aquamation is gaining popularity in the states which is some sort of poaching in a pod that turns you into goo. Then there are the green burials in California where you can be human composted, again in some sort of pod.
https://www.youtube.com/c/AskAMortician/videos
The woman at that site can fill you in on the options as well as the finer details of embalming.
Eat the bugs, get in the pod. Get in the pod, feed the bugs.
I do wonder if JC and Dot are Libertarians at all, it sounds like a pretty good product, but they just can’t sell it
Here’s a guy at Unz Review who can defend Libertarianism, he took on Mefobills on the Michael Hudson Economic Threads and got the better of him easily, an achievement in itself.
https://www.unz.com/comments/all/?commenterfilter=Truth+Vigilante
Yes Grigory, you, like Homer Paxton, are a proto-fascist. Hitler was a financial whizz and his economic policy ended in continental bliss for aeons.
Ed, the worst side of you is when you do Insp. Jacques Clouseau imitations. It just doesn’t look good.
I’ve said before that I have no objection to two blokes calling their relationship a ‘marriage’. Where I draw the line is their getting a law passed requiring me to call it a marriage. I won’t, cos it ain’t.
Remember Homer supposedly referencing Tooze to suggest he (Tooze) supported the view that Nazi economics was the bees knees. Everyone was so incredulous that paxton was being accurate we all went out and bought the book, possibly causing a bump is sales. We then found out that everything the moron said was 180 degs wrong. It was the opposite. He didn’t care though as he just went off skanky hoing about some other shit.
I remember that. That son of a bitch made me waste money on that book. I knew Paxton couldn’t be right about anything. In fact he was so wrong it was comical to the point of competing with Mel Brooks at his finest.
The constant arse kicking he copped for the next two years was glorious in its cruelty.
Doc, it was a huge wank fest, but at the end of the day the impact hasn’t been like a huge hurricane swirling through our cultural tenets. It’s perhaps coarsened the culture a little more but it hasn’t destroyed it. Most people don’t really think a couple of dudes or lezzos are married. The whole idea is preposterous.
Maybe you should get heavily into the immolation of the self ideology, Grigory.
Your insults are either too esoteric or verbose. Be more direct.
Ed Case:
You are mistaken.
The word ‘move’ was about the middle third moving to the anti authoritarian Right.
There will not be a violent uprising – once the authoritarian Left work out their position is untenable, they will withdraw to try and keep whatever gains they have made.
Clouseau series were side splitting funny, at least the older ones.

Dot:
I was actually looking through my copy today trying to find a reference to Speer telling the Industrialists “You know how much tax you should be paying, just pay it so we can release ?200,000 men from the tax department for the Front.”
Still haven’t found it -it was in relation to needing a crisis before government would even consider cutting its bureaucracy.
Perhaps it’s in Speers book.
Tooze’s book is an excellent one.
Good god.
This Jack Murphy thing has blown up.
A cuck and a pick up artist at the same time?
Maybe he’s a world class troll?

Report on the Qld Vaxx mandate:
From my experience & chatting to industry colleagues, it seems indoor trade is down by about 60%
(numbers are rubbery, as there are a lot of variables)
The public are taking it well. Plenty are unhappy, a few disgruntled & even rude when showing us their vaccination status – (their ire is misdirected, as is explained in the industry signage most of us use)
The big surprise has been the sane attitude of the police. We were all on tenterhooks wondering how the cops would ambush us.
Hasn’t happened.
Police did at least one pub in town during the weekend, entered and made everybody show their papers. (That was the time, place, & people with which to be rude and hard to get along with when exposing under duress your vaccination status)
This Clouseau is even funnier.

First weekend of Qld Vaxx mandate:
Pub trade down by 60%
(note: this is indoor public trade only)
In Viktoria we will henceforth name this mode of existence Sutton’s Pan-Omicron
Police did at least one pub in town during the weekend, entered and made everybody show their papers.
If the whole pub descended on them and threw them out on their arses it would have been the first and last time they tried the Gestapo “show us your papers” routine.
Possibly so.
However the cops tried it on at midday Sunday, the twenty or so patrons were all families, everybody was sitting down. (you get the picture).
A public bar chockers with a several dozen Maori & Tongan fruit pickers & fettlers, belting down JD & Cokes half an hour after midnight Friday night, jukebox blaring full tilt & the lights out?
Be good to see.
It’s possible, just not financially sensible.
Big rotating plant (coal / nuke) provides the inertia to keep the transmission network stable for free, just comes as part of the deal. Also it is super reliable, just involves the existing copper coils and simple control systems.
The separate installations you mention would require huge electronic bidirectional inverters with very complex control systems, huge transient protection banks, and probably duplication of everything, to provide the requisite reliability. And all at massive ADDITIONAL cost, which provides no other benefits.
So if it was a straight engineering decision, then it would be an emphatic NO on cost/benefit grounds.
But as a deep green, bugman driven, political decision, it’s clearly a massive goer. Invest now, the returns to the investor class will be massive. To the rest of us, not so much.
2019 -2021 Tesla Model 3 recalled in Australia
The fault could cause a catastrophic suspension failure, according to the recall notice.
Electric vehicle specialist Tesla has recalled 106 examples of its 2018-2021 Tesla Model 3, citing a suspension fault.
The price of cattle jumped from $4.60 per kilogram in January 2020 to $10.65 by October 2021, according to the benchmark Eastern Young Cattle Indicator. The price has grown by 150 per cent in two years.
In 1998, the average Australian consumed 40 kilograms of beef per year, now, it’s just over 18 kilograms. According to David Byard, chief executive of the Australian Beef Association, the meat has become too expensive, and inconsistent.
Would Sir like some cracked pepper for his bugs?
..
Easy.
Just jump the fence and carve a bit off.
It’s the demand of the Australian consumer for top quality food at rock bottom prices.
The use of the term “partner” is oh so lefty acceptable these days. Get married and introduce the other half as partner gets you invited to all the best parties.
BUT two gay people get “married” and suddenly the highly acceptable term becomes “his husband” or “her wife”.
Hypocrites and language thieves.
And that there is a much greater export market for all Australian meat and the vast majority of its food products into Asia, Europe and evem the US than there ever will be here. Even for the crappier cuts and older animals we won’t touch.
Compound that with more faddish city demands like ‘free-range,’* ‘organic,’ ‘hormone-free’** and ‘farrowing ‘stall-free’*** that add dollars to the production price for still relatively little return to the farmer (and often no real discernible objective improvement in flavour or quality), and here is the problem that simple economics attempts to solve. Product A is too expensive, so Joe Consumer buys proportionally less of it and seeks to substitute it with Product B. If Product B is imported at a vastly discounted or subsidised price (Hi, Danish bacon, Egyptian jam and Italian tinned tomatoes!), then so be it…
* ‘Free-Range’ is an animal husbandry nightmare for normally intensivised livestock like chickens and pigs. Chooks are easy noms for anything that can jump or get under fences (assuming they do not then keep killing for fun after having eaten their fill), and pigs are natural bulldozers. Free-range pork production in Australia has seen all manner of dodginess, animal mismanagement and land degradation- Pigs are naturally destructive- That would never be suffered under any other agricultural or livestock enterprise.
** A emotive ideal based on mendacious misinformation about intensive livestock farming. Australian chicken and beef, etc. has never had growth hormones injected or adulterated into their feed.
*** More mendacious and emotive misinformation by animal rights activists, leading to otherwise avoidable piglet deaths by the mother crushing them when she rolls over.
The ignorance of and contempt for farmers in so many of the consumer demands placed on them is risible.
15 MINUTES AGO By YONI BASHAN, MICHAEL MCKENNA’
I’m retired these days, but I did encounter the mentality “How dare you presume to make a profit out of supplying me and mine with cheap, high quality food…”
As far as grid stabilisation goes, maybe all home solar installations require an electrically heated pool of some sort?
Solar panels effectively run at absolute maximum capacity when the sun is shining, and can only provide so much power for direct consumption at the time, or to charge a battery. To avoid overcharging the battery and wasting the solar cells’ ‘fuel’ materials, you would need a power sink, correct? Traditionally, this has been the electricity grid, leading to the dangerously cyclic nature of ‘renewable’ generation.
For a truly off-grid installation (which is the only one I personally find tolerable), an alternative power sink needs to be able to absorb everything the panels can provide, and more. Hence, an electrically heated pool.
Water will absorb a lot of heat, and as such consumes a vast amount of energy to keep at a particular temperature. Even a small wading/exercise pool should provide enough heat/power sinking to keep a representative solar installation fully absorbed.

entropy’s a bitch
Well, yes.
But you then still have the problem of a PV system with nowhere to dump its excess power.

OOPS! Democrats are panicking over the rigged election count.
It was the ballot harvesting (legalised by a GOP state house in Pennsylvania) that swung the state for Biden in 2020.
Anything to do with Dominion is a red herring & is just chewing up time & money.
NFL bins most COVID testing protocols.
This is what happens when you have 120 players sitting out in a weekend.
The NHL & NBA will follow quickly.
During the regular season when there are 16 games, the NFL loves having the games re-scheduled.
There was a week during the last season where there was an NFL game every evening & you guessed it, they won the ratings every single night for a week.
All because of COVID forcing the rescheduling of games.
We’re a few weeks out from the play-offs meaning 4 games per weekend, then 2 games.
Harder to make a buck on the rescheduling.
Hence the ditching of the COVID testing.
This could have been our family…
From the Epoch Times –
The school reportedly called the parents in for a meeting where they informed them that their daughter is trans. The teacher then proceeded to call CPS (Police) on them when they didn’t use the “correct” name and pronouns. The Police turned up at parents house and asked the children if they wanted to stay.
This Cult is out of control and needs stamping out for their predatory approaches to children.
CPS is Child Protective Services.
I think what they are trying to say is “If President Trump isn’t in jail, the Chinese will attack us.”
The damage that Obama inflicted on the US continues to be uncovered.
Europe is getting it in the neck this Christmas.
Play stupid games, and win stupid prizes, Germany/France.
Medtronic stops selling the HeatWare pump implant.
They actually announced it in June.
It came out of the stub of the former Ventracor.
Fun fact, when it was doing trials at Monash or the University of Melb (can’t remember which one) 98 of the 100 sheep they used died.
But it kept getting the incremental approvals it needed before the FDA approved it in the US.
The FDA needs to be nuked & re-started from scratch.
What the generals want is a coup against the voters, they want martial law. What is needed here is that these generals be ‘brought to justice’ to prevent an actual insurrection.
I wonder if Hollywood will make a movie about these rogue generals.
Absolutely rope-able this morning .. duuuh! .. woke up in my usual bright mood and made the mistake of checking the missed signal flashing on the phone .. from my DIL (son’s wife) ..

I immediately saw RED ….. grrrrrrrrrh!
“SERIOUSLY! .. does David understand the concept pf PRESENTS? .. they are not his choice! It will be better to avoid the argument if I don’t come on Saturday .. I’ll send the prez for all 4 kids up with B .. tho they are already wrapped so it’ll be up to David whether he needs to unwrap to check SUITABILITY before distribution” …….. (lotza SAD smiley faces) …….
Soooooooo Chrissie Day with myself looming! .. three of the grandees are in Danistan & the 8th one will be where I’m not ……….!

Sounds like David and his wife need to teach the children (and themselves) manners and the meaning of gratitude.

Trump is still pushing the vaccine. This seems to be his greatest weakness, an inability to let go of his pride in operation warp speed and admit that he was duped.

Sounds like David and his wife need to teach the children (and themselves) manners and the meaning of gratitude.
Shouldn’t read between the lines but David may have missed the “I don’t give a shit about Christmas or presents” gene in the Australian male or the wife is doing the very usual female trick “I’ll keep sweet with the family by blaming hubby”
Not good either way.
Life’s full of disappointments.
Our wheat has been hit hard by late frost. Half the yield and low quality. On the other hand, canola, barley and the lentils are winners.
No point crying over something you have no control over or try to control something that’s not yours.
“It was the ballot harvesting (legalised by a GOP state house in Pennsylvania) that swung the state for Biden in 2020.
Anything to do with Dominion is a red herring & is just chewing up time & money.”
Correct. And the GOP (and Trump) were given plenty of warnings about this prior to November 2020.
They ignored the warnings….much like they ignored the warnings about big tech censorship back in 2017 and 2018…when they had control of both houses and were in a position to do something. They chose to to nothing.
Apropos of shatterzzz at 7.05:
I generally don’t comment on people’s families and so on, but it would certainly seem as though ‘David’ would greatly benefit from a tooth-rattling backhander. As mentioned above, the concept of presents apparently needs to be reinforced in certain quarters.
Disgusting state of affairs.
Perhaps if David were to be informed that if you wanted every single receiver of presents to get exactly the same thing, and if none of them had put any work in to receive said presents you would have bought everyone miniature Stalin busts.
A present censor. Unwrapping to see if it passed muster. Unbelievable.
Don’t be sorry, I accidentally do that when liking comments (except Ed Case).
The Dominion voting machines were an issue in Georgia the first time around.
But not a patch on the ballot harvesting.
Shatterzzz,
I feel for you.
The entitlement is so large these days I don’t know if we will ever be rid of it. As you stated, “don’t they know the concept of presents?!?”.
As for you spending Christmas alone, more “feelz”, coming your way. I will be by myself for Christmas for the first time in 35 years this year. Well, not totally alone, my two doggos will be with me. Thank God for dogs!
On a side note, I used to know the Fairfield area really well. Have a sister who I think still lives there and I worked there at my first job out of high school. Stepping off the train at Fairfield Station at 7 in the morning was always interesting as the pub had 6 am opening. The amount of derros that were already drunk was rather alarming! Considered totally normal in the mid seventies.
All the best for Saturday.
A present censor. Unwrapping to see if it passed muster. Unbelievable.
David sounds like a cock head.
Probably cooks a terrible bbq too.

People at the time of the SSM debate argued the freaks would not stop at SSM, a perversion of the language, but would continue into all areas of society. They were ignored or scorned. So now we have grotesque trannies with dildos on their heads reading porn to 5 year olds and men competing as women against women, birthing people, chest feeders and the rest of this insidious dismantling of the values of Western society.
At the time of the SSM debate I asked an (ex) gay friend why they were bothered since same sex relationships, as defacto relationships, had all the legal force of marriages between men and women. He said it was revenge, pure and simple.
Knuckles, I have a strong suspicion that the son is the convenient scapegoat – who made the call and left the message?
There is a certain type of woman who loads the bullets for her menfolk to fire. That way, they stay pure as the driven. I’d check for fingerprints on the cellotape before I jumped to conclusions on who is vetting the gifts.
No body-shaming mother pigs!
I’ve been thinking about this for the last few days and I’m now going to commit heresy here and say that I have come to the conclusion that I don’t want Orange Man Bad to run in 2024. I want Ron DeSantis to run and win. I believe DeSantis will easily attract many many disaffected Dems and independents in a way that Trump has never been able to. DeSantis is clear, resolute, unafraid of the left and is able to deal with MSM scum.
Don’t get me wrong…..I will always love Donald Trump. He’s the ultimate disruptor and the world needs disruptors like him. But I believe that America (and the world) needs someone who can bring people together and at the same time implement Trump’s policies without Trump’s churlishness and divisiveness.
Okay……I’m now heading for the bunker and ready for the pile on. Please remember that I’m still in hospital and physically fragile although my mental strength has returned!
Merry Christmas to you too Lizzie. And a happy and much healthier New Year for you too.
calli,
This ‘bloke’ may be looking the other way while the ladeeee’s loading up, but in my view he will know full well what’s going on. He’s allowing her to do it because he doesn’t want to be henpecked into a coma, and he knows he will take any heat when questions are asked.
In my view, this is worse.
She’ll be inside typing out messages of this ilk while he’s out on the footpath looking in the neighbours’ bins and reporting them to the council for incorrect rubbish categorisation.
I agree Cassie. The Donald running again will simply re-ignite all the maniac causes, and once again we’ll see building burnings and so on amidst massive demos in the US.
‘ready for the pile on’
PHRASING.

PHRASING.”
LOL…I have the prune juice ready!
Cassie, the Cult of Trump got out of hand. It was inevitable, as the vacuum for real, old-style leadership had remained for so long.
What he did was exceptional – he exposed all the depths of hatred and weirdness of lefties and the laziness and duplicity of the GOP. Look how the lot grew and bloomed in his four years. It took an avalanche of fraud to unseat him.
After just one year, the ground for conservative leadership is again fertile. Give it another three years and the electorate will be desperate for it. Trump is not the man for it – he will be too old, for a start. But he can provide excellent assistance if a new hopeful wants it.
Stepping off the train at Fairfield Station at 7 in the morning was always interesting as the pub had 6 am opening. The amount of derros that were already drunk was rather alarming! Considered totally normal in the mid seventies.
Totally changed now .. 90% ethnic , 60% arab, 30% SE asian, one maybe two derros & the pubs survive on gamblin gnot drinks ….. shops are fairly cheap, lotza $2 dollar ones .. main problem with Fairfield is no one teache sethnics to walk on th , bloody, left when they get here .. footpaths are a complete hazard ..

David’s a flog. Probably on the local Amnesty International committee as well.
Cassie et. al,
as much as I like your proposition, do you really believe the left will be any less divisive and fanatical in their hatred?
Duncanm, you’re right, but De Santis has shown he has the strength of character to take the crap the left dishes out and give it back to them with a little bit of interest added.
Winston – they’re saying its like a neanderthal re-emerging from the jungle in the 20th century.
Where was it hiding all this time?
Another interesting point I saw somewhere (here?) – Omicron looks like its almost engineering to be the vaccine for Covid.. More contagious (pushes out other strains from the community), but much less virulent.
rugbyskier,
noted. He’s better at hitting back without inflaming the situation. He’s very good at revealing just how idiotic they are, without putting joe average offside.
do you really believe the left will be any less divisive and fanatical in their hatred?”
No, no, not at all….the left and MSM have no decency however DeSantis has shown he can deal very very well with leftist and MSM scum. It is also harder for the left to smear DeSantis…they try and they fail.
Winston,
here’s an NPR article that explains it well.
https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2021/12/01/1055803031/the-mystery-of-where-omicron-came-from-and-why-it-matters
I think it’s probably time for someone younger to like DeSantis to run. Trump did a fantastic job and proved that fairness and prosperity is not all that hard- cut taxes and don’t give away residence/citizenship like toilet paper. The other great thing he did was make the political class reveal its true, rotten self. Exhibit A- Fraudenberg. I don’t agree with Trump on frankenjabs btw.
PuttingChrissie with kids back into perspective … ENJOY! ..

Cassie, agree completely, Trump was the right man at the right time but he’ll be too old and have too much bitterness (justified bitterness), De Santis has many of Trumps attributes and the strength of character required to face down the entire media, gov depts, universities and the rest of the left.
Okay. Looks like David and missus are a marriage made in…somewhere cozy.
I can loan out all my kids for jokes, intelligent conversations and general silliness on an hourly basis, but I want them back please. No keepies. Mates rates.
More like politicians directing medical advice.
..
So just what they do with any Republican President then.
Remember how they went after that Kavanaugh drip as if he was Brett Hitler and not just a wet middle of the road prig?
You got to remember: the insane howling gets the worst when you are effective and over the target.
Trump was sporadically over the target of the things they find precious.
Sure, you could have a Bush in there, and they’d just go through the motions of the hate sessions, dirt files and howling at the moon, because their tiny little hearts aren’t in it until you threaten Rowe v Wade or open borders.
Fortunately some of them grow up. This was the New Broom before he met the beautiful one.

*You could have gotten married and been a traditional wife and mother*
“No, I want two cucks not good enough for me to SIMP and jerkoff into a cup…’
Agree 100%, Cassie.
Trump has a fantastic natural empathy for middle America, which made him a political phenomenon for four years when he stormed into the White House as an outsider to fix Washington’s rampant corruption.
But, in spite of the industrial electoral cheating that removed him from office, all that is now in the past and he’s sounding like yesterday’s man.
His Achilles Heel is his planet-size ego that blinds him to the current political reality. Ron DeSantis is a far better candidate for 2024, largely because he doesn’t have any of the divisiveness that was essential to Trump’s ability to break through in 2016.
However, Trump remains the GOP’s most potent voter-turner-outer. If the GOP ensures the Dems’ electoral cheating can be pegged back to pre-2020 levels, DeSantis with Trump’s backing would easily win in 2024.
I just hope the Orange Idiot doesn’t spend another two years sulking about 2020.
When you threaten Rowe v Wade or open borders you are attacking at the points where ideology meets financial interests at the most acidic and lucrative.
It takes persistence and bravery of the kind that Farage showed for decades.
Decades of persistence and a consistent leader.
Trump is the man.

I’ve been thinking about this for the last few days and I’m now going to commit heresy here and say that I have come to the conclusion that I don’t want Orange Man Bad to run in 2024. I want Ron DeSantis to run and win.
I agree. Trump was the necessary disruptor to set the scene, de Santis is the man to push change through.
PS, the phrase “MSM scum” is tautological.
I don’t blame Trump one little bit for being pissed off with the way he’s been treated. He did a great job (that’s an understatement) but he is yesterday’s man. Time for someone younger.
I’m sure demonrat mayors will still be happy to allow their cities to be trashed ofcourse. Talk about a feral and delinquent political class.
you forgot the third bloke she’s currently shagging. Nice piece of work.
Ultimately Trump the man doesn’t matter. He was a symbol of just how hacked off people are with career politicians. A multi billionaire playboy, real-estate mogul and reality TV star has almost nothing in common with the man on the street, but people voted for him. If that doesn’t show how fed up people were I don’t know what does.
I suspect the next major step will be someone just as populist in what they spout, but far more authoritarian in dealing with the opposition. You know, everything the left claimed Trump was, but he wasn’t.
Not really seeing anything to dissuade me that the USA will not exist in it’s current for inside 15 years.
Meanwhile, in the UK The Science! continues to have nothing to do with science.
It should be remembered Susan Michie, the commie who flogged off the family Picasso for lotsa bux, is in the SAGE behavioural group.

I can’t fathom why an upstanding gentleman wouldn’t want to be a father and partner. Not a clue.
JC. Fag Mar certainly is preposterous but it turns into a hellish nightmare when they are allowed to acquire kids.
Rumour suggests that they given an easy ride by the adoption people. Given the lack of accountability of our public sector, that is certainly possible.
Poor kids – it is abuse of their human rights.
To win the 2024 Presidential election, the Republicans need a leader who can motivate the army of grass-roots observers to man the ballot lines, man the counting rooms, man the delivery truck entrances, man the count screens- all the while recording everything and standing their ground if they’re attempted to be heavied out of the control rooms and screened out of the convention centres. Their leader will need to inspire ground troops enough to distribute their own mail-in ballots, it will need to have Joe Plumber brave enough to put the Red signs up on front lawns and pickup windows, will need to have red hats on heads and barnstormer speeches on everyone’s lips.
Only that sort of visibility will win the election, and be seen to have won the election..
I don’t know if DeSantis can do that, or hold up for the 18 months of political-media-industrial onslaught between nomination and electoral college reports.
But, I know that Trump can. Against all odds, he’s done it once.
What happened in 2020 was a coup, facilitated by Big Tech, Big Photocopiers and the MSM. He has every right to feel dudded and hammer away about it.
It may even be that the WuPox was released to achieve that end as well. It would prove that enemies of freedom will stop at nothing to apply the jackboot.
What he needs to be doing is working on getting those involved in Jan6 before the courts and out of prison. That they are still there is a scandal and yet another blot on the US’s copybook. Also in establishing independent and enduring platforms for conservative, alternative viewpoints.
Cassie
Well, that heresy didn’t lead to much of a bonfire in the town square!
as much as I like your proposition, do you really believe the left will be any less divisive and fanatical in their hatred?
No.
What needs to be demonstrated is that the movement is beyond personality. The tip of the spear simply gets changed out when old, worn or blunt.
Sorry bolding confusion-
Only Trump can be seen to have won the election.
The current incumbent has proved that. 😀
Some guy would have to want to do that for that to happen. Which leads me to this story:
The Dangerous Rise Of Men Who Won’t Date “Woke” Women
The article is actually a couple of years old but Instapundit carries the link today.
The funniest thing about the story is it’s written by a woke woman who is outrageously outraged by this idea that men don’t like woke women. By the end of the article without meaning to she totally succeeds in proving exactly why this might be so. Maybe she also should invest in a turkey baster before it’s too late.
Redundancy.
Current bun would make more sense. And reflect brainpower.
So in Danistan, they have the mandates still on, so the 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc ‘booster’ will be madatory.
They will never take off the mandates.
National Cabinet is also expected to discuss whether Australians may need to have had a third dose to be considered fully vaccinated – a move made in the US, Israel and Singapore.
..
He used social media the first time around to leverage his popularity and public profile (something he has cultivated for decades) into support and votes.
Notice all the social media companies cut him off last year to prevent him using a similar strategy.
It isn’t going to stop him. He will now find a way to leverage the bannings into popularity.
That they are still there is a scandal and yet another blot on the US’s copybook.
Too bloody right- just like Lubyanka. Prisoner of that dirty, evil old slag. Have the Pelosis/D’Alesandros ever done on honest day’s work?
New Zealand officials announced on Monday that a 26-year-old’s death has been formally linked to the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine after he suffered a rare heart inflammation following his first dose of the Covid jab.
In a statement, the country’s Covid-19 Vaccine Independent Safety Monitoring Board, confirmed the myocarditis that had led to his death “was probably due to vaccination.”
Funny, the now half dozen people I know that have suffered a vaccine injury all suffered from heart inflammation to varying degrees. Not so rare I think.
National Cabinet is also expected to discuss whether Australians may need to have had a third dose to be considered fully vaccinated – a move made in the US, Israel and Singapore.
When you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.
Of course it was a coup last year and not just in the US.
In It’s Starting to Feel a Lot Like Election news:
Morrison’s approval dives over vaccine rollout, grants and Brittany Higgins fallout, poll suggests
The Essential Report.
Takeaway:
• Australia is 33% disengaged from mainstream political parties.
• Albanese is like chewing gum on the dole of your shoe; you don’t know it’s there until it’s trodden into the carpet.
Rather worrying things:
• In the midst of economic and social destruction, Britnee is an ‘issue’;
• 80% of WA is enjoying being a separate country.

Everything you wrote above is what the GOP did in Virginia a month ago under Youngkin and they did it in New Jersey….a Demonrat stronghold which they nearly won. What they did do? They did the following…
1. In Virginia the GOP had a candidate who was able to motivate an army of grass-roots observers to man the ballot lines, man the counting rooms, man the delivery truck entrances, man the count screens- all the while recording everything and standing their ground if they’re attempted to be heavied out of the control rooms and screened out of the convention centres.
2. The Demonrats tried their usual dirty stunts….such as the ludicrous Klan stunt a week or so before the polls. It backfired spectacularly. Youngkin kept his cool.
3. It is worth noting that Youngkin also kept his distance from Trump…whilst he didn’t malign Trump or pour cold water on him, he just didn’t want Trump around and that was wise….Youngkin needed disaffected blue and independent voters. He got them.
Seven breaking news today 8:54am, that you read here a couple of weeks ago.
These pricks are so predictable.
Your first point, Cassie.
In the end, it all comes down to citizen engagement in the process. The Dems worked that out and enlisted an army of howler monkeys to
fortifypervert the result.The GoP can do the same to preserve and protect it.
Boy oh boy do I hate our pollimuppetts. They say you shouldn’t hate, but when it’s focused and for good reason and it doesn’t eat you up, it’s acceptable. Anyway, when they despise and hold in contempt things you hold dear- the family suburban home, making things, growing food, digging up minerals, true scholarship- how could you not hate them.
Trump needs to be elected to reclaim the rightful victory that was stolen from him and the millions that voted for him.
He will win again with increasing
numbers.
Trump may then decide to retire and hand the job to someone capable like De Santis.
I still allow that the military will step in to right this ship of state.
we are officially in the age of genetic warfare
How the FBI Became Politicised
Read all about it. Mueller, Comey & Co. This is just part of how the USA sank to the depths we now see.
Not least of acts was Mueller’s drawn out “inquiry” into the Russia Hoax. It helped the Demrats into House control in 2018.
Like many above, I don’t think Trump should run again. He has done plenty just by reminding people of that Republican Presidents don’t have to be Democrat hostages.
For decades it has been either Democrat President or a Republican who is absolutely captive to them. Clinton, Dubya, Bambi. It is not just the Presidents that won, but the ones that ran for President, like McCain and Romney.
Trump would still have a place as being able to give advice to Republicans – at least with regards to negotiation. That was one thing where Trump really shone thanks to his business experience.
Until Trump it was all Carrot and Stick. The stick was military or economic, and the carrot was giving away bits of American productivity (nobbling American industries to create niches for others) or even outright payment. And they always required an ongoing American involvement, and the other parties always knew they could squeeze a bit more out of America by threatening to walk away and denting American prestige.
Those peace deals Trump arranged in the ME with Israel, from what I could see, were brilliant. Both sides saw the advantage of peace with the other instead of requiring America to be guarantor.
More of this please!
a new pornhub category for the modern wymensis
I wouldn’t bet on the US military coming to the party on the right side of history in the next few years. They have been wokified just like the FBI.
I’m sure many Americans – especially those in Dem electorates – envy Floridians* for DeSantis’s total commitment to the people. He treats them like grownups, not naughty children to be rewarded or punished at his whim.
*I envy them, too.
Shatterzzz,
I love the Hallelujah Chorus. That was a great clip. The kids looked like they had a blast performing their routine.
Can anyone help? I am trying to locate a clip of the classical piece The Black Sabbath. One of the greatest and most rousing pieces of music I know. It has been used countless times in movies etc. I can’t find the correct term to use on you tube or google. All that comes up is the band, Black Sabbath. Any ideas? Even the composers name would be good. Many thanks in advance.
A Trump/De Santis ticket would win, and then Trump can hand over to De Santis when ready. Promote Cruz or Rand Paul into VP spot at that stage.
Trump has proved that you can bring different races together to build a fantastic coalition which is why the meja, big business and the ‘rats tried to start a race war. I still can’t get my head around big American companies being anti American. At least Coles purport to be pro Australian.

Grate news – Deadman rose from the coffin on Cassie’s thread!
We have sorely missed his incisive and definitive comments on matters grammatical, literary, et al. Please, please, stay around, Dedders. 🙂
Not so good news – the Primal Narcissist has realised that her sulking is not achieving anything (for the umpteenth time) and is sneaking back in because nobody is paying her any attention while she is holding her breath until she is blue. 🙁
Oh, well – one door closes, etc.
And, while we are doing personalia, Calli, loving your more feisty comments. You have a lot of credibility around here, good to see it not going to waste. I especially liked your comments on Cassie’s thread, which unfortunately I didn’t read until it was too late for me to chime in.
FWIIW, I absolutely agree that blaming everything on “feminism” is like blaming droughts on the Sun. Feminism has a long and complicated history, some of it good, some of it bad. I for one to not want to return to a world where women could not own property, or vote, or be raped if they were married, or get sacked from their jobs if they got married.
History is a much better teacher than talking points.
And Vic will announce that to keep your job you need a death jab every 4 months.
I think this will cause more pushback, maybe enough to get rid of the Hunchback??
My misus is not happy about this at all.
I value my sperm too highly to give it to someone who would ask for it.

Pincushion for lyf. Or get cancelled.
Welcome to modern Australia.

Cruz would be a good VP but is needed at court!
Big corporates are trans-national, US is just another market
It would assist comprehension if the media would treat ‘rare’ as they do ‘peaceful’ and precede it with the descriptor ‘mostly’.

Speaking of getting cancelled I got nonpersonned by Big Tech overnight. Must have reported for something or other and a nerd in the cube farm hit DEL on me. Am thinking whether I bother to rejoin or not. Unfortunately like most of these platforms they have become a defacto communication channel for people and businesses.
Those articles of hers reminds me of why I don’t watch the UK “Live at the Apollo” comedy anymore.
It used to be brilliantly funny.
Now it’s just one act after another praising SSM and homosexuality, or punching hard on tradition and Brexit. Of course there are lots of coarse scenarios invented to boost the “jokes” as well.
The sexual aspect is so rampant the “comedians” don’t have time to declare their veganism.
My 8¢ worth, all in one day:
First look at Japanese Hayabusa2 asteroid sample indicates Ryugu is similar to Earth’s rarest meteorites
The presence of clay on a little space rock is intriguing (to tragic Earth Science wonks).
Normally (on Earth) clays are formed by the weathering of aluminium silicate rock – ie the rock is formed by a first process and then transformed into clay by a prolonged exposure to mobile water.
Which begs the question: where, and in what environment, did Ryugu form?
Having been hit with a couple of rare medical events over my lifetime it doesn’t make them any easier. I imagine the same would apply to a rare death.
Cassie, I’m not fixed on De Santis necessarily (although he’s very good) but agree that Trump should step aside. Frankly, he’s too old. The gerontocracy that has dominated recent American politics is well past its use-by date.
Time to get some fresh blood, fresh energy and fresh faces into the mix.
I say this as a wrinklie who knows that I am not as strong, resilient and flexible (in every sense) as I used to be. And, I’m younger than Trump, and not looking at possibly the most demanding job on the planet.
