The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) disclosed to a congressional office that illegal migrants flying without proper identification can use an arrest warrant as an alternate form of identification when presenting to airport security, according to a letter the Daily Caller News Foundation exclusively obtained.
Responding to Republican Texas Rep. Lance Gooden’s Dec. 15 inquiry about illegal migrants flying across the country, TSA Administrator David Pekoske explained that certain Department of Homeland Security (DHS) documents may be considered acceptable forms of alternate identification for non-citizens, including a “Warrant for Arrest of Alien” and a “Warrant of Removal/Deportation.”

Tennis Australia says it will reverse its decision to ban “Where is Peng Shuai?” T-shirts from Melbourne Park.
TA boss Craig Tiley told the AFP news agency it would allow activists to wear the T-shirts expressing concern for the Chinese tennis players safety at the Australian Open, as long as they were peaceful.
Mr Tiley made the decision after a backlash over the Grand Slam’s controversial stance.
The about-turn followed video emerging on Sunday of security staff ordering spectators to remove shirts and a banner in support of the Chinese player at Melbourne Park.
It prompted tennis legend Martina Navratilova to brand the move “pathetic”. Peng, the former doubles world number one is absent from Melbourne and there are fears for her wellbeing after she alleged online in November that she had been “forced” into sex by a Chinese former vice-premier during a years-long on-and-off relationship.

I’ve been living (quite happily) in the motel for five months now, watching the real estate market go crazy. It’s been a bad time to buy, so I haven’t. There are people who have to buy something due to job and/or family obligations, since the rental market is a nightmare. Overpriced rubbish is snapped up in a few days.
As interest rates and inflation edge up, I’m expecting that some overgeared people will have to sell. Prices may not fall much, but at least there will be a larger pool of properties to choose from.
While I’ve enjoyed being free of possessions and multiple bills, I do miss my books and my music. Absurd copyright laws in the US mean that most of Wodehouse is not available online – and I was at a meeting about eight years ago where a motormouth DFAT operative was telling us that we couldn’t wait to ‘harmonise’ our copyright laws with theirs.
The effect is that long after the creators are dead, and even after the creators’ children are dead, bloodsucking relatives can collect royalties and limit distribution.
Perversely, it does incentivise those making movies or TV shows or whatever to pay people to create new stuff. All good.
But, it is galling that the bloodsuckers controlling the estates of writers like The Divine Agatha and Plum restrict access to those who pay.
As for protecting the brand, recent broadcast travesties of TDA’s stories involving introduced lesbians and gays, blacks in rural England and so on evoke a wee bit of scepticism. TDA had poofs and lesbians in her stories, because they were based on real people and communities. There is only one I know of – A Murder is Announced – where it was remotely relevant to the plot. And that had nothing to do with their sexuality.
I reiterate what others have said – get hardcopies of the books you value. Elecronic copies of books are being edited all the time.

Forrest pays $309m for battery tech with Williams F1 pedigree
Andrew Forrest’s Fortescue will pay $309 million for the Williams Formula One team’s UK-based engineering offshoot to access battery technology it needs to wean its vast train and truck fleets off diesel.
The iron ore miner announced the purchase on Monday of Williams Advanced Engineering for £164 million ($309 million). Formula 1 boss Frank Williams founded WAE in 2010 and its almost 400 employees are based at the same Oxfordshire campus as the racing team. WAE will be integrated into Fortescue’s clean energy subsidiary Fortescue Future Industries but retain its name.

I thought copyright and patent legal protection had an expiry date, no?
That could be construed as a violation of the rights of the child.
I get what you mean, but the left wants us to be obligated to a contract that we’ve never seen, nor ever given a choice in. When social contract gets destroyed as an argument, they fall back to “rights involve responsibilities”. This is the crap argument they’re using to force vaccinations on people, to save granny or save the health system neglected by governments and Nazi health execs who actively discourage private investment to meet demand.
Is there no more foul a slur than to denounce someone as a “Lehmannist”?
So did I JC. I know Harper Lee was able to renew the copyright 50 years after being published, as only the author can. One of the very few to do so.
JC. the expiry date is mandated by law, and greedy descendants have stretched it over and over again thanks to lobbying in the US and the desire of our DFAT slobberers to suck up.
Why people who never even met Disney or TDA or Wodehouse should control their intellectual property and milk millions is simply a rort.
So Scumo is a dead man walking, which means Albosleazy will be our new overlord.
What are Cats expecting will happen under his benevolent dictatorship?
Huh, Okay. I didn’t know that.
Just think, Gonsky, NDIS and you’ll get an idea where we’re heading. Wokism will be shoved down our gullets and more taxes.
Free Rub’n’Tugs, when do we want it, now.
Barry, I’m not sure it has to be zero. I think the matter is prudential. Remember, I said there is no general obligation/ duty but only a special moral duty/ obligation owed only by a limited number of people who regularly come into contact with the vulnerable. So an aged care nurse might be obligated to take vaccine that is efficacious and relatively safe where infection from the relevent virus posed a clear danger to their patients in much the same way that I think the same nurse is obliged to care for these same patients, were one or more may be infected, even though doing so is also relatively safe.
My point in raising the distinction between general and special duties/ obligations is that there is no general duty in the sense that Lehmann is leaning on; and whatever special duty there is it is much more narrow and delicate than she lets on.
That’s not where they will be shoving them.
Oh, and I do hope that at least some kittehs are reading Gentlemen Prefer Blondes at Gutenberg..

Sorry, Dover, I missed this response. This could simply be a difference in framing, but such responsibilities need codifying as you have done, which the left don’t because they would lose their arbitrary power over everyone else.
This is why I frame it differently, because I won’t be sucked in to their games.
I suppose it’s in the contract, but that they thought they could censor members of the public in a venue that is administered by a Trust on behalf of the people of Victoria is damned arrogance.
Fun fact.
The owners of the Wizard of Oz didn’t dot all the “i’s” & cross all the “t’s”.
Meaning you can take what ever you want from that book & use.
Like “Emerald City” & “Yellow Brick Road” & whatever else you want ie the musical Wicked paid zero licencing fees.
But if you want to use a song from the movie The Wizard of Oz, Disney will fuck you up if you don’t pay.
He’s an angry, angry mouse.
Despite the food shortages, beatings and executions, a much nicer government than Scumos.
Hopefully he’ll have an obstructive senate. In which case, not much.
I missed your response too, Dot.
Fair points, but one could argue that our routine laws are fundamentally libertarian, in that we have harsh (or should do) laws against gross deprivations of liberty such as murder, rape and kidnapping.
I suspect that these are simply two different ways of looking at the same thing.
To clarify, the left have extended any idea of personality responsibility, not to other individuals, but “the greater good”. This becomes a call for people to be sacrificed whether individuals concerned like it or not.
The left’s collectivism very quickly becomes the tyranny of the majority, which should explain my framing.
And I hope the unions will hold his feet to the fire on his promise to cut immigration and increase skills based training opportunities, because the Liberal Party certainly won’t.

Copyright 120 years after the death of the author is absurd?
120 years? FMD. I knew the “Mickey Mouse amendment” had given Walt’s copyrights an extension till 2041, but I didn’t know that!
If people are surprised what Tennis Australia thinks it can do in the Open “precinct” they’d be shocked with what can happen to you when you enter a FIFA precinct.
To win or host a FIFA event, the state literally indemnifies FIFA for whatever happens inside the precinct.
Or they don’t get to host.
Indeed, but is that really the case? Rights and obligations are something we exercise or fail to. Children don’t really know what’s good for them, which is why we argue that parents are the custodians of their good at least until the age of majority. The violation is of their good, not of their right.
The strategy here should be to correct the propogandist not throw the concept of duty/ obligation under a bus. Leftists also use the concept right wantonly and yet we don’t jettison that concept. There may be other reasons for jettisoning it, however.
I suppose it’s in the contract, but that they thought they could censor members of the public in a venue that is administered by a Trust on behalf of the people of Victoria is damned arrogance.

They cheer, but it was Disney that lobbied for and obtained the latest US extension.
I thought copyright and patent legal protection had an expiry date, no?
Its simple to work out.
It “what copyright of Disney will expire” +10 years.
https://online.yu.edu/cardozo/blog/disney-influence-copyright-law#:~:text=Since%20the%201976%20win%2C%20Disney,activities%20to%20influence%20copyright%20law.&text=For%20corporations%2C%20copyright%20law%20protects,to%20Steamboat%20Willie%20through%202023.
Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998
As the 2003 deadline loomed, Disney did not sit idle. Since the 1976 win, Disney continued lobbying activities to influence copyright law. In 1998, Congress adopted the Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998, also known as the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act, as the celebrity and congressman had supported copyright protection extensions prior to his death in early 1998. The act was named in his honor. Detractors to this act called it “The Mickey Mouse Protection Act.”3
This revision allowed copyrights to last the author’s lifetime, plus 70 years. For corporations, copyright law protects works for 95 years from their original publication, or 120 years from creation, based on whichever expires first. This pushes Disney’s copyright claims to Steamboat Willie through 2023.4
What’s Next for Disney Copyright?
Disney’s copyright for Steamboat Willie will expire on January 1, 2024 and this original iteration of Mickey Mouse will fall into public domain. It is not yet clear what Disney intends to do as this deadline looms, but based on past precedent, we can assume that lobbying efforts to further revise U.S. copyright laws will ramp up.
The visual version for smooth brains.

I do have a personal perspective here.
Years ago, a friend of mine was caught up in a high profile public inquiry with DFAT at the centre. She had left a couple of years before. Next thing, she was in front of a shedload of barristers and was denied access to her own documents, by DFAT, which she was being examined on.

In the past five years, Tucker Carlson has become America’s most switched-on broadcast journalist and his weekday Fox News show is a must-watch if you want to know what’s really going on in American politics.
At the same time, Fox News’s other nighttime opinion shows have been exposed for their weaknesses.
Sean Hannity was elevated to the number two slot after the sacking of Bill O’Reilly on trumped up sexual harrassment charges after the left stared targeting media figures they didn’t like.
Hannity’s daily show takes the format of a university lecture attacking he Biden regime. I could write the show without notes because it’s basically the same every day. Boring as.
The other recent Fox News hire, Laura Ingraham, is worse. I can’t take in her show any more without turning the sound down.
Today Ingraham interrupted and talked over one of America’s best thinkers, Victor Davis Hanson.
Ingraham is worse than a Karen. She’s a loudmouth knowall. She might as well be talking to herself on CNN.
Paramount had the stoush.

Interesting story about Lord of the Rings. Everybody will know that the book written by Tolkien was made into three films.
Originally, the Producer and distributor of the movies (New Line Cinema) negotiated a rights deal with the Tolkien Trust that would give the Trust 7.5% of the gross from the film. Except, the producers made three films not one, and were (apparently) tardy and casual in compliance with the contract and paying anything. In late 2008 the Trust filed a lawsuit for $150 million and whilst the judge wouldn’t allow that per se, he would allow the Trust to pursue compensation for the studio ignoring their obligations under the contract.
The dispute was settled out of court in 2009. The three movies have gross takings of around $3 billion to date.
——
The original story back in 2008 was that the Trust had sold the rights for ‘a movie’ rather that three movies. I don’t know if that is correct but in any event New Line Cinema came unstuck due to non-compliance with the contract terms rather than being disingenuous about their intentions to make more than one movie. Either way, they ended up paying the Trust a large sum.

“… given Walt’s copyrights an extension…”
Yes – disgusting.
The entire point of copyright and patents is that the government provides protection to your intellectual property in exchange for releasing that property to the ownership of the public on your expiry (ie, death) for copyright, or after the specified period (10 years, 20 years?) for a patent.
The point is that the actual creator gets protection for their efforts, not their heirs and successors for all eternity. This is the tradeoff you make – if you are unwilling to make such a tradeoff, no-one is forcing you to, you can keep everything secret and rely on civil court proceedings against any “thieves” if you want to. Or expose it and get government – even international – backed protection, and lose all rights at the end.
Fuck Disney and the horse they rode in on – they are happy to obtain the benefits, but don’t want to pay the bill. Tough, deal with it – that was the choice Walt made and now you want to change the rules when you might lose out on screwing kids who like a cartoon character.

It was Bush, btw, who arguably kicked off the Ukrainian crisis back in 2008 by stating that the Ukraine (and Georgia) would be welcome to join NATO. Bush Snr notably had very close relations with the Chinese leadership. All this reflects the Kissinger doctrine that by engaging with China it would liberalise politically.

What we need are a few more articles in the press arguing that actually have a separate flag for a small percentage of the population is nothing but divisive.
Had a short car trip and had Sofie Formica of 4BC on radio. Was shocked to hear her guest commentator was Phil Di Bella. He is well known for his Di Bella coffee brand which I believe he sold a few years back. However he is still in the coffee business and sells coffee related items to hundreds of coffee outlets. He said 823. He was also Brisbane Lord Mayors Businessman of 2020.
He was the subject of a Courier Mail article in December as he was against the mandates. He has a coffee shop himself but not sure what he did after vaccinations supposed to be checked.
It was a good segment and fair to say he questions the narrative. He mentioned that coffee outlets were reporting a drop in business of 40-70% since Premier said stay home. Talked about people being encouraged to work from home, Says meanwhile she pops up at the Magic Millions and not one civil servant has lost a $ due to Covid.

The Central Australian Aboriginal Congress is calling for more serious and effective public health measures to be put in place urgently.
“We need to see sharp and serious action to respond to what are growing case numbers in Alice Springs and surrounding Central Australian communities.” Congress acting chief executive Josie Douglas said.
“The lockout isn’t working. People are still moving around, and the virus is still spreading among vaccinated and unvaccinated people.”
Ms Douglas said hospitalisation were now increasing, along with ICU admissions.
“78 people in hospital in the NT is the equivalent of 2800 people in NSW,” she said.
“We are now on a par with NSW but we will pass this peak without decisive action and our health system has less capacity.”
“We are calling for a complete lockdown of Central Australia to be implemented urgently. A Tsunami of Covid cases is coming and we need a circuit breaker.

I’ve got my very own personal flag. It’s a smiley face smoking a cigar.
The only one the group that produced something intrinsic is the least likely to win.
This is Albo’s fundamental challenge.
mate of mine spent 4 hours with his accountant the other day.
his accountant who does mostly smaller mum and dad stuff, has lost about 40% of his customers
worserer, he said there’s more to come because there are plenty of zombies out there that still don’t know they’re dead yet.
MINE and YOURS
Seems that newscorp has broken 12′ ladder, no longer works on ‘The Australian’ or the ‘Herald Sun’.
Same old same old…
After completing his economics degree, Albanese took on a role as research officer to the then-Minister for Local Government and Administrative Services, Tom Uren, who would become a mentor to him. In 1989, the position of Assistant General Secretary of the New South Wales branch of the Labor Party became vacant when John Faulkner was elected to the Senate. The election to replace him was closely disputed between the Labor Left’s Hard Left and Soft Left groupings, with Albanese being elected with the backing of the Hard Left, taking on that role for the next six years. In 1995, he left the position to work as a senior adviser to New South Wales Premier Bob Carr.
When Jeannette McHugh announced she would not recontest her seat of Grayndler at the 1996 election, Albanese won preselection for the seat. The campaign was a difficult one, with aircraft noise a big political issue following the opening of the third runway at Sydney Airport, and the newly established No Aircraft Noise party (NAN) having polled strongly in the local area at the 1995 New South Wales election. Veteran political pundit Malcolm Mackerras predicted NAN would win the seat. However, NAN’s candidate finished third, with less than 14% of the vote. Despite suffering a six-point swing against Labor, Albanese was elected with a comfortable 16-point margin.
Keith Windschuttle mooted that point back in 2016, and the howler monkeys wailed loud and long….
Bludge degree=>research officer in polliemuppett’s office=>polliemuppett’s advisor=>polliemuppett.
Will say Uren did have a fair bit of experience in the real world re military service and he was a store manager iirc.
That’s not a bug. It’s a feature.
Is that Dan’s clot shot economy?
ASX dropped 2.60% today. About $70+ Bn wiped. Brutal couple of days, and maybe more to come. Markets seem to think a rate rise in August is likely from the original November forecast.
Interestingly, the current weighting of 7248 is almost identical to the weighting on 20 February 2020 just prior to the market collapse.
No surprise Albo is hard left Labor. I’d expect his federal government will be in the style of the Andrews government, only hope is minor conservatives parties hold the balance of power and the Liberals don’t work with him.
I know, sounds stupid. But has anyone paid attention to the Liberals lately? I definitely wouldn’t put it past them to work with hard left labor to spite the electorate that booted them.

Ha ha they have the ‘Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement’ at Penn Uni. How fucked can you get?
They have Michael Mann at Penn State? That fvcked up?
Grace’s conduct show she thinks the PM is responsible for what happened to her. In the same way many of Pell’s critics saw him.
These people think they’re God, ruling everyone’s lives, convinced they in their wisdom can hold back the ‘tsunami’ of Omicron sniffles.
Same thing with the climate alarmists: they actually believe they know how to control the weather. It would be laughable, if it were not so damn expensive for everyday Australians.
And the really, truly worstest thing about all this: our spineless, ignorant, namby-pamby* governments are sucked in 100% by these charlatans.
*Stepping out for a tic to replenish the adjectives cupboard.
Tom Uren was a prisoner of war on the Burma Railway, and witnessed the atomic bombing of Nagasaki.
I know, sounds stupid. But has anyone paid attention to the Liberals lately? I definitely wouldn’t put it past them to work with hard left labor to spite the electorate that booted them.
I wouldn’t either. They preference labor over PHON don’t they.

I have only two words for the outgoing Australian of the Year, graceless Grace.
Good riddance. Her and her cabal of selectors have ruined the AOTY award. They should wash it and park the award for 10 years and let the smell abate before trying again if ever.
Mark Steyn: Last two years have been a moral crime by the government against the governed
Jesus could become PM but still have no control over the mini Hitler’s running the states. The problem is with the federation isn’t it?
Doesn’t that send chills down your spine? Especially – and with a pathetic, crippled LNP – when an election is looming?
GreyRanga, I endorse this rearrangement.
If the minors like UAP, PHON and LDP hold the balance of power in the Senate you can absolutely bet that the Libs/Nats will side with Labor to pass their legislation.

I wish I’d devised this crowd’s logo.
Do you think that the Labor state governments would work against a Labor federal government the way they have a Liberal? Particularly with Albo and Andrews being such great mates for example.
They are ravenous this summer.
Yes, yes it was!
All those cones could take out an eye!
Yet when it eventuates they’ll welcome it.
Yes, indeed.
And trust a fella to correct me. I can’t remember the other actress’ name. I think she was the poor lass killed in a car accident. Jane something.
If they do that, they will never hold power again.
It may be easier. But I seem to recall Fed Labor not happy with Dan’s belt & road.
Noosa may be dull but the point there had great waves two-three weeks back.
He in the market for a cheap transplant? Or some Uyghur sandshoes.*

Rita Panahi: ‘We are not immortal, everybody dies’
I think today is the first time I have EVER agreed with Peter van Wrongsolen — Grace Tame is a rude, classless and graceless creature — I wonder if she’s ever read the story of Maria Goretti?
The AirBnB thing is a real problem here too. I have friends who have one in the duplex next door. So bad they can’t get a night’s sleep in the holiday season.
People forget that the towns they visit aren’t amusement parks. People actually live and work there.
Graceless Grace pondering her future.
Every time I see her sour visage it brings to mind the character in the above link.
Do you wear Country Road shirts with the collar popped, Dover?
My son does. Up and down Hastings Street. Just to be annoying. 😀
Looks like another gorgeous day here.
And the view.
Magnifique!
The conduct of Grubby Graceless shows she’s motivated purely by spite and political ideology….just like Pell’s critics were. Nothing to do with right or wrong, nothing to do with facts, nothing to do with guilt or innocence. They went after Pell because he was a robust conservative and he was deemed a target to bring down…come what may….and let’s face it, they did well, the man spent a year in goal for a crime he did not do…his life almost destroyed. Morrison is a target because he’s a supposed Liberal leader and they’d destroy him if they could.
Scumbag has spent the last year on his knees grovelling to grubby Graceless and Brittaneeee and others…and where’s it got him? Absolutely no where. Grubby Graceless’ behaviour today and the look on her ugly face (and ugly she is) was the look of a spoilt grotesque toddler. It was disgraceful.
I thought Adam Goodes was bad as AOTY, I thought Rosie Batty was bad as AOTY but nobody has ever been as bad as Grubby Graceless.
Oh and Grubby would know about the Shorten allegation……and she would know about other allegations circling Labor but she remains silent. Nothing to say…..but that’s because she’s a hypocrite and it’s all about the politics…she only attacks one side.
Quite frankly, I don’t wish her well…I hope she fades into oblivion. She’s a nasty mediocrity and good riddance to her.
Calli,
for your delectation. 😉
Interestingly, the current weighting of 7248 is almost identical to the weighting on 20 February 2020 just prior to the market collapse.
Now this is just a working theory but the last big ASX fall happened about 20/02/2020. Notice all the 2’s and 0’s. Today is 25/01/2022. The market closed at 7248. Still lots of 2’s.
Snakes have two fangs. Sharks can have up to 20000 teeth in their lifetime. Crocs have 72 teeth and and 2000 in their lifetime. Tasmanians are reputed to have 2 heads. Lions have 32 teeth. Fire and smoke accompany each other (a two thing). I think 2’s, and their co-conspirator 0, are evil.
I’ll go now. Yes, I took a belting today. I’m a bit punch-drunk and need a drink. OMG, is that another 2 thing? Arrrrghhhhh
One for you Lizzie, from Sunday.
VOLUNTEERS CALL ON YOUNGER GENERATION TO PRESERVE HENRY KENDALL COTTAGE (Ncl local news, 23 Jan)
Nice little story!
This is just a short clip from an interview with GB News but it’s very worthwhile.
Neil Oliver: ‘We’ve been telling our children for the longest time that we must not discriminate’
The Ghouls got hold and grooming her for the second time, Tinta.
Not mine, Pogria. But I’m sure Roger (and others) would like another peep!
Peter Schweizer’s new book Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win includes the story of how donations from Communist China to the University of Pennsylvania almost tripled after the university established a “Biden Center” in 2017 and gave former Vice President Joe Biden a professorship.
Finally, a few in the West are waking up to the corruption of out “leaders”.
In Australia, add in the work of Clive Hamilton. I disagree (sometimes violently) with much of his work, but on China he has done a great deal of good. Also, Keating has again exposed his linkages with China, and Tennis Australia has been forced to back down on their kow tows to Xi. Add in all of the other Australian so-called “leaders” (not least Boob Carr) who are tied to China, and the corruption of our universities by Confucius Institutes, and we have much to do in the Augean Stables.
FFFS, that deserved an extra F.
Lucky you. Humid and hot here.
Great post Cassie. Again!
You have a knack – and all the background info – for for nailing the hypocricies of our ‘betters’.
Jayne Mansfield.
She’s a nasty mediocrity and good riddance to her.
That’s the thing- a lot of these horrors that the meja promote are just plane nasty. I guess their aim is excoriate middle Australia (the narrative) and such unpleasant individuals serve as props for this.
Ermmm it might be grooming for the first time bespoke, methinks there might be a touch of expiation on the part of graceless Grace but the ghouls did groom and use her for their own agenda which has at its heart overturning the rule of law and Innocent ’til proven guilty.
The Untold Truth Of Jayne Mansfield
Here’s a fact….in her role as AOTY Grubby Graceless has not been groomed by anyone.
She’s an adult and is now responsible for the choices she makes.
Mansfield.
Which resulted in the Mansfield bar being legislated in the US and elsewhere.
Snap, dopey & P.
The look on Sophia Loren’s face is priceless!
Apart from Morrison, whom she’s attacked regularly, Grubby Graceless has also attacked Amanda Stoker, she’s attacked Michaela Cash, she’s attacked Christian Porter and she’s attacked Alan Tudge.
I have never heard her say one word about anyone in Labor. She’s never said anything about Emma Husar’s allegations…..NOT ONE WORD.
She’s a hypocrite.
Sure lets focus on the individual and let the culture that create such people get a free pass.
Until its less convenient that is.

Correct…she knew what she was doing this morning. She deliberately stoked the progressive far-left Twitter sewers.
She’s a grub.
I am struggling to work out whether the answer to the last question here was sarcasm.
If it was, it is pretty damn arrogant given the extent of suffering involved.
That’s pretty much the raison d’etre of the AOTY now.
A gobbet of spit in the face of a middle Australia perceived to be racist, sexist and prone to violence.
Who is she actually? What is her claim to AOTY?
