As long as each state controls vote management I doubt there will be any solution to voter fraud in the US.
One thing Australia does reasonably well.
De Santis fixed the election problems in Florida. He fixed them (figuratively) overnight.
Anyone got a reason why the same method applied in other states, would not likewise fix the voting irregularities (figuratively) overnight?
Corrupt electoral commissions and employees cause this kind of thing, not the voting systems themselves. Corrupt officials will work with whatever system they have to engineer the outcome they seek.
Florida elections these days are relatively clean and efficient.
De Santis fixed = De Santis repaired problems with electoral rolls & tally rooms.
Rosie
There is a solution to that., but it’s really playing brinkmanship with the Republic. If states don’t succumb to allowing their elections to be auditable and transparent then there should be a fight to have their electors ignored.
I think they suspect. There are a few smoking guns out there that would drive the point home quite wonderfully.
The more that can be exposed, the more de-certifying, etc, the better.
The result will be twofold, awareness among the genpop & a push for changes to procedures and for scrutiny/surveillance ensuring the identified irregularities do not happen again.
Yes sanchez, fix = repair/correct.
The way to really harden up about fraud in federal elections at the state level would be not for Washington to cajole and threaten the recalcitrant states. It would be those states that have made the changes to be auditable and transparent tell those other states they will be pushing to have their tally ignored if they don’t sign up.
Right. If DC ran the show, the country would become a one party state. Democrats would never lose.

“There are unconfirmed reports LaMay died due to COVID-19 complications. KHQ is working to verify that information.”
“His Facebook page was deleted last week when he fell ill with COVID-19 and was put on a ventilator.”
So, ‘rosie/notafan of the truth’, is again cackling over the death of someone who refused to goose-step in line with the UN Agenda/what she sells.
‘Of’ or ‘With’ Covid aside, we don’t know the details of his illness let alone his treatment but we’re told he was put on a ventilator, something that’s now long been know to be a hurry along to death.
In other words, a “complication” “due to” Covid.
Patients not being allowed to have any of the variety of other, safe treatments, with near 100% success rates, could be considered another “complication” “due to” Covid.
Yeah but silly little details like that, or even having the cause of death confirmed, mean diddly squat to rosie/notafan of the truth. All that matters to her is making jokes out of people who refuse to bend the knee to the UN.

Nova Scotia in Canada has banned people from gathering along highways to support the truckers freedom convoy.
Isn’t this the kind of thing dictatorships do?
Peter Sweden, while doing great work getting information out, has serious form for over-egging the pudding.
He may be correct, or
It may be as simple as a bunch of people in pickup trucks got ticketed for parking & blocking traffic on overpasses the convoy was passing beneath.

The actual situation isn’t quite as tyrannical as that phrasing makes out and seems a legitimate public safety precaution.
The problem is that it is extremely easy to block the single major highway between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick (by intention or even inadvertently). It already happened once back in June during protests over pandemic border restrictions but fortunately in summer conditions. Recent and forecast nasty winter weather make such a situation downright dangerous. Local infrastructure/road net just can’t support that sort of thing as there are few alternative routes for emergency services, etc.

Thanks for that article on “Manderley”, Dot. That was a great movie, had you in suspenders right to the end, even though you knew what the end would be. The score was used to great effect too. On my quip “bullets flying” last night – it was a reference to the way the murder was done in the middle of an argument.
Looking over those b&w stills, the new movie isn’t a patch on the old, regardless of being set on location in Monte and in a real house. I had forgotten how evil and debonaire the George Sanders character was.
On Cassie’s question about homosexuality, Rebecca batted for both teams. Suggested in the book “she wasn’t even normal”, again in the b&w film, but somehow ignored in the latest iteration.
Perhaps that’s all old hat now. Not shocking enough.

This is why the Russians loved them, most combat on the Eastern Front was below 15,000ft. The Aircobra could and did mix it up with the Me 109 and FW 190 and if you landed one of the 37mm cannon shells it was lights out for them.

When the latest Covid stats are released today see if they include the ages and mention co-morbidities or is it just the vaccination status of those who died.
Divide the running number of cases by the number of deaths and the average death per thousands of cases is insignificant. Especially if you look at age and co-morbidities.
If millions in VIC, NSW and Qld have had Covid it stands to reason people will die who have had it in past 30 days.
However whatever you do don’t ask how many died purely of Covid as they don’t want you to know.
Everything is geared towards the fear campaign to get you to take the next jab.

Don’t know about Oz but back in 1950s/mid 60s England the popularity of brand depended on where you lived .. the various manufacturers/distributors targeted specific brands into specific demographs .. Popular brands available down South were rarely available in County Durham. .. Here, the most popular & best seller, tipped, brand was EMBASSY far outsold the regulars, except for WOODBINE the nation’s favourite drag, Senior Service, Players, Capstan ect. .. The exotics, Craven A, Dunhill, Benson & Hedges ect & O/S brands (Camel, Lucky Strike, Marlboro ect) were all available but, mainly, stocked by specialist tobacconists rather than the corner store (we didn’t have supermarkets or TV for advertising back then .. slightly behind the times was GeordieLand ..

Now G an FY!
Just had an experience with vic health system . I suffered severe abdominal pain early a.m. Thursday so looked up Dr Google concluded after symptom check that it was something I had eaten so Panadol and heat pad which eventually let me get to sleep . Symptoms still there in morning so checked with doctor son on holiday . He said gastritis , gallstone or appendix go to my doctor . Tried to book in but no appointments so went ahead and drove friend to day medical procedure at 8.30 . As pain was getting worse decided to walk in to clinic and ask to see any doctor available. I must have looked ill as they put me in treatment room and a doctor came to see me . After questioning and feeling abdomen said gastritis , gall bladder or appendicitis so needed ultra sound, cat scan to establish condition . She ordered blood tests and ECG done there then tried to book into the local imaging clinics in area . No luck so decided to send me to Epworth emergency . 30 minutes clinic after trying to get ambulance service to answer so rang granddaughter doctor on day off to take me . Covid testing in what seemed to be a garage next to hospital first and then granddaughter had to leave me at entrance after handing over letter from doctor. No one allowed in with patient anyway soon triaged and connected to tubes , cannula etc saw emergency doctor still no diagnose problem but she called in surgeon. Two shots of morphine still no pain relief ,more blood teste another ECG ulta sound and cat scan then saw surgeon late afternoon who arrived whilst I was on phone with son so we had a three way conversation . A blockage in bile duct no other symptoms everything else fine. Finally at 2.45am was taken to ward by this time with heat pads and Panadol pain was easing.Saw physician in morning who was still feeling tender spots all over abdomen . By mid afternoon heaps better so surgeon after discussion with my son , sent me home with his mobile number . Most unusual I believe , anyway once in hospital could not fault nursing care only the long wait to get a bed .
Had the extra hassle of organising to get friend home from day clinic as they didn’t want him going home in taxi however he was able to do this himself . Then clinic rang me to find out why I hadn’t paid the bill before I left however left hospital with no bill not even asked for Medicare or private health details but finally figured doctor had put them in letter . I heard you are charged $300 to walk into Epworth Emergency. It will be interesting to see the bill . Stomach still tender and I feel exhausted however Barty’s amazing performance last night was the best medicine who could believe a comeback from a five to one game . ?

If you want more entertaining tennis, take away the second serve.
It came from an era of poor quality balls and racquets. The sweet spot on an old racquet was little more than the size of the ball, now it’s most of the head.
I dropped tennis for many years and then was invited for a hit with the latest racquets. I found it very hard to miss with a first serve. The spin I could get on a second serve was unreal.

When asked what the pain is like on a scale of 1 to 10, the magic number is 7.
Years ago I went to the hospital for severe abdominal pain from a kidney stone. When those things start moving the pain is excruciating. It is likened to women experiencing labour pains only worse. With kidney stones you don’t put your hand up for seconds.
I was asked by a nurse what was the level of pain on the scale of 1 to 10. I didn’t have a sucking chest wound so I said 9. He gave me 2 Panadol and asked me to wait. A little less than the pethadine I expected.
The Second Reading at Mass today:
1 Corinthians 12:31 -13:13
yeah, that aspect certainly makes Women’s Tennis more interesting.
Is it a psychological weakness that women have, that they can’t close it out?
In the men’s game, the guy at 1-5 would probably let game 7 go if he was receiving and start 0-0 on serve in the next Set.

I’m not convinced ignoring 2020 is a winner. It’s sort of like the GOP ignoring the J6 people currently being grounded down by DoJ, etc. Whoever runs in 2024 needs to emphasize the sordid beginnings of the Biden regime, as well as the capriciousness of the J6 aftermath. You need to do that to maintain and build your populist base. Candidates that don’t will find it hard to get elected state or federal. It’s not the only thing you talk about, you will have to raise issues dear to the populist base, like immigration, wages, trade, housing, culture, and the like, but a candidate that failed to show any c about concern about 2020 and J6 would appear like a Cheney.

Yeah, she led some dopey chalkie up the garden path into a jail cell, and he’s likely not the only person to regret ever meeting her, but she more than met her match in Smirkin’ Scotty Morrison.

No, you don’t, I agree. You don’t ignore it, but you also just don’t make it about grievance. You bring attention to the possible cheating because the system is wide open to allow it and you tell the folks you’re running to fix it once and for all.
That has to the number issue to run on, but you don’t run to make it a grievance election.
I don’t think that while 2022 will be a decent GOP year, 24 may not be automatically a good GOP presidential election one. It all depends who the Demonrats put up.

True but over the longer term the odds would tend to even out and make it more difficult for a one hit wonder to become a champ. I vaguely recall that the game went to way about 20 years ago where there were young up and coming dudes with heavy serves and no come back. None made it to the top.

In the late 70’s I worked extensively in the NT and SA and Western Qld. It was amazingly wet, roads and rail lines cut for days, sometimes weeks. Everyone up there loved it. The only exception being those who would come to a flooded stretch of road. many of the roads then were so extensively graded they were a bit lower than the surrounding country but rock hard under the water. The tourists would see a long section of flooded road and observe that the surrounding land looked dry. They would conclude that it would be safer to drive off the road and go around the flooded section on what looked to be dry land. Well the sides were drenched and wouldn’t take far for the car to be bogged to the axles and usually abandoned. If you drove those roads back then you would often see cars abandoned, it was the rain that did it.
Yes.

A shipping container. A cyclist. A tennis player.
The first I heard of Neil Young was when he did an album with Pearl Jam.
I thought some of that was pretty cool.
Listened to his other stuff & couldn’t get into it.
But that led me to Tom Petty who I think is very cool.
A real hippy.
Who is advancing that argument?
Tennis…as bad as test cricket.
A cure for insomnia.
Doing some reading on Rogan/Young at Steve Sailer.
Rogan definitely isn’t an AntiVaxxer, all he did was interview Robert Malone, who most definitely is not an AntiVaxxer either.
On the other hand, Neil Young ended up quite wealthy, never got ripped off by Music Industry gangsters like most of the others did.
And guess what?
Neil’s old man worked for the CIA for decades in Canada!
Neil Young is kidding himself. He’s old.
I need violence or the threat of violence in my sport.
Tom Petty took guitar lessons from Duane Allman (now there was a real hippy).
Not many people know that.
Thanks Roger.

Great country we have, it’s totally fucked.
The Liberals are out of touch but the Ray! Hadley! idiots can’t physically vote for anyone else. Because the obese, rabid, invidious, foaming at the mouth shut in guru said so.
Great country!

“Joe Rogan has fuck you money”.
Outstanding.
Now Tim Wilson is off the Financial Services committee his credits column will now dry up.
Sam Groth.
Fastest recorded serve :- 263 kmh.
Highest ranking achieved :- #53.
Don’t like summer rain? Come to Perth. Stops raining in October and starts again in May. May get a bit hot at times and gardening is tough (really just making sure the reticulation hasn’t shat itself).
Rogan should get Doug Stanhope to come in with a mandolin and they sing Old Man together with Graeme Hancock, Jordan Petersen and Alex Jones.

Sounds like a Lizard person conspiracy Ed. America could smoke Canada in about a day or two.

Look at this POS, lia thomas, the freak who declared himself a female and is on his way to breaking every female swimming record. He takes no sex hormone drugs, just wears lippie and has grown his hair; he struts around the female dressing room with his balls jiggling stating he likes women and nothing is done about. When a society allows perverts and creeps to set social values it’s fucked:

Ahh. The 70’s.
I remember I was on leave sitting at a medium high table on my parents highish verandah having a beer and a sandwich for lunch.
The late Royal Highness Phil the Greek was driven past.
He waved to me.
I waved back.
I would have worn a shirt if I knew that was going to happen.
No doubt you were the butt of a fine quip, comparable to those eternally drunk Scotsmen, jog on!

You have given me a cunning plan to win a lady Masters Surf Race.

Groth had plenty to say about Djoker.
He never played Novak as far as I can find.
Thanks for linking to Law Girl.
Kneel Youngs’ stand against Rogan isn’t turning him into the hero he thinks he is.
Sporting an untimely erection as proof, perhaps?

These are not unusual events, not annual but they do happen every few years. Especially in January. I have seen, had to divert trips and been stranded by a few in Queensland and the central west of NSW. North Queensland when I moved up years ago used to get them every few wet seasons where the Bruce Hwy or Flinders Hwy both sides of divide or both hwy’s would be cut, for a few weeks sometimes in heavier events. The other night we got 300m of rain in a very short period when the monsoon trough pushed south of us, if it had penetrated inland which it didn’t would have been a few days of cuts to the Bruce hwy, as it was Bowen went under in places. What gets me is supermarket chains always cry poor but seem to have no contingency for.
How long does it take a freighter to get from Melbourne to Perth? That’s the usual fix when the Tropical North is cut off for a spell and even non perishables run out. Barge loaded in Brisbane and sent up the coast.
I’m watching Tropical Gourmet New Caledonia on efnick tv food channel.
I love New Caledonia..
I wonder what the rules are for going there now?
But if Donald runs in 2024 bitching about The Big Steal he will lose bigly.
And really lose (not just stuffed ballot boxes).
Firstly, it will come across as being all about him.
Secondly, it projects as being about the past with no vision for the future.
These are the sort of attitudes which cost Hillary in 2016.”
At the moment the Dems have nothing to write home about. In fact by now every normal person in the country must have noticed the Dementia Don in the WH. How he got there remains a pertinent question. The old adage “If you don’t learn from history you will be compelled to repeat it” hangs in the air. On top of that, the Dems induced Pandemic has taken so much from ordinary people that millions of Americans want to know how and why it was able to happen.
If Trump runs he has every right to question what happened in 2020 – yes, he doesn’t have to make the entire message about him – but by speaking about 2020 he can focus on what happened to the country; and so much of a campaign is about the previous incumbent and his/her policies and approaches.
If Trump runs again and wins he may just be able to clear out the deep state, which sets up a possible two-termer following him – DeSantis is young enough to hang around as Governor of Florida for another term before he mounts his assault in 2028.
Nothing will ever top seeing her up close on a practice court hitting up with Martina Hingis in what was certainly not tennis attire, being skimpy shorts and tiny top and shoes.
It was like the scene from Hot Shots where upon saying “the drinks are on me”, people materialise from everywhere including abseiling through the windows.
There were men drooling through the fence on every side, men half way up the fences, on the neighbouring roofs, up trees like there was a monkey infestation, and puddles of drool everywhere. There was no vantage point unused, and on fences blokes were ten deep.
Meanwhile, some players named Lindsay Davenport and Steffie Graf were hitting up on centre court with a solitary spectator.
White City certainly had it charms.

Was there anyone who made it big in Rock/Folk/Country music in the 1960s who didn’t have a CIA/Tavistock Institute background?
From the week in pics.
So we also have testacleez.
I’m sure Diogakneez will have something to say about that.
Roger. Don Felder said he taught Tom Petty guitar too.
Indeed.
Barty’s second serve is proof of that.
Often unplayable.

Clown world.
But as Rita Panahi said this morning on Outsiders….until women (and men) speak up in unison about his shit and no longer hide behind the cloak of “anonymity” and no longer worry about being called a “transphobe”………this shit will continue.
Lia Thomas is a biological male who puts on female dress and a female swimming costume (and when you look at the pictures of him wearing the female swimsuit you can see his bulging penis) and pretends to be a woman. The fact that our society capitulates to this dangerous shit shows that our society has no future.
Lia Thomas is a adult human male.
Transwomen are not women.
They all grew up in the same region of Florida; Gainesville-Jacksonville, iirc.
I never liked young, his songs are mournful shit and he can’t sing. He ruined Crosby Stills and Nash. CS&N’s first album Renaissance Fair featured some of the finest pop singing ever. These guys could sing: Suite: Judy Blue Eyes

I promise, I’m not going to criticize you about this. You’ve frequently suggested that it’s a 50/50 bet they actually carry through with elections in Nov. Explain the scenario and offer a little color. How can they possibly prevent elections. Even at the height of ww2 the US held elections. In the NYC, the major’s race, in 2001 was held in November ~2 months after the 911 devastation.
Interesting guitar factoid:
In a 2003 Rolling Stone poll Jimi Hendrix was rated #1 rock guitarist of all time and Duane Allman #2.
Both were lefties.
Jimi famously played his right -handed Stratocaster guitars upside down.
Duane taught himself to play right-handed.
Left-handed guitars would be a custom order when they were learning & very expensive.
Is ‘ignoring’ as in not mentioning 2020/J6 an uncharitable characterisation of
Depends upon what you meant by bitching but any complaint about 2020 made by Trump or populist candidates will be treated like bitching. The steal and the aftermath can’t be minimised. The same is true re COVID policy. There needs to be reckoning. By all means, look forward, but without an accounting of the recent past it won’t work.
