‘Do You Agree… That Babies Are Racist?’: Ted Cruz Questions Jackson About ‘Antiracist Baby’ Book
Unless they throw it back and tell anyone who shoves a microphone in their faces the party is made up of people who sometimes disagree but they are free to follow beliefs, as opposed to the big parties. Then ask “Do you really believe everyone in the Libs, Labor or Greens all believe the same thing, or that they tow the party line that perhaps no actual person holds in order protect their position and privileges? Who are they loyal to, and why? Is that what makes a good MP?”
Pedro, and reposted from 11.10 last night on the OOT because it’s accurate:
BRS isn’t a very nice bloke.
These people are supposed to be unpleasant. That’s what makes them both efficient and effective in their chosen field of endeavour.
I care about BRS punching his missus (IF that’s what happened) as much as I care about Barry the shitkicker from Werribee doing it. It is shithouse, but it is not made worse for one of the two because he also has a VC*.
I tire of the media class lauding these people as Galahads, because undoubtedly not all of them are. Or, more correctly, the vast majority of them aren’t – and that’s the way it should be.
BRS is not Robinson Crusoe within the ADF in having a string of mouthy pissed girlfriends, of whom one or more become spouses before rooting everything in sight once he gets on the plane again. I fail to see how this is news. It’s been happening as long as there have been soldiers.
The approach to BRS seems to have been standardised. It is NOT the same as the Rolfe matter in the NT, but there are parallels – that is, when the prosecution starts obviously failing on their primary charges, they go for ‘yeah but he’s a nasty bloke’.
*I’ll also bet heavily there were plenty of (windmilling, power-free) lefts and rights coming BRS’ way from this cavalcade of tarts as well.
Libertarians, in particular, are not only idealists, but believe in liberty only as an abstract concept and are terrified of actually being in government and having to make the hard day-to-day, pragmatic decisions.
They can rest their minds. There will never be a libertarian government in Australia but somebody has to express and push those ideals against ever creeping regulation.

Ash Barty quits tennis, according to ABC.
Why? She was what they used to call ‘a great ambassador for Australia’. She on top of her game right now and had at least 10 more years picking up nice purses ahead of her.
Which means no depictions of ejaculation, right?

Quite so…I’m also not aware that the “alleged bullying” in the Liberal Democrats has resulted in anyone dying.

New improved Albo (with less Albo!) from Faustus’ quote upthread:
She’d just been told she wasn’t going to be preselected. Her remaining trough time could have been measured in days rather than decades.
Are you sure about that Albo? That all she wanted now was a Labor win?
You fibby fibber.
KD – BRS is unusual in having Kerry Stokes in his corner and paying the QC bills. But yes soldiers (and footballers) generally don’t make great rolemodels.
Barty has quit tennis before, admittedly she was not No 1 at the time. As I have previously said, it is a pretty ordinary game.
As someone said the other day, the ALP have a well worn baseball bat which they bring out every election, emblazoned with “……… has a woman problem.”
I don’t think we will be seeing it this time.
Sadly, though, if it does come up, I can’t see a Lib saying, “Well, Karl/Kochie/Lisa, no-one in our party has been bullied to an early grave.”
They will lean back into the ropes with both gloves up, hoping the beating will stop.
My desktop internet seems to be playing up so I switched on my brand new, super-duper, 14inch, 8gb ram, 128gb SSD, 256gb card & 500gb HDD laptop running W11, which I bought not because I needed it but because it was on special for $250 over at Kogan several weeks ago .. now into it’s 2nd hour of “updating” … sooo I’m back on the desktop with its weird internet behaviour (slow, normal, verrry slow, normal depending on the site), and all ……. the joys of computing .. LOL!

If she has quit to live a debaucherous lifestyle then that’s great and I applaude her.
Hopefully she hasn’t quit to fight climate change or some other woke cause.
Yes he is. And it looks like he can firmly blame Wong for being put on the hot plate.
Same result?
Probably unlikely. The Morrison Government is deeply on the nose with nothing much to point back to – more so than Keating at that time.
The biggest risk for Australia is Albanese needing the Greens to form/hold Government.

I’m no expert but that’s what I do know, Frank.
Convention is that attackers need at least a 2:1 advantage over a defender to have a chance of victory.
But a lot can go wrong in warfare even with that advantage on paper. Morale is crucial, for e.g.; so a motivated defender in a good position can be very hard to dislodge.
wired works, wifi is crap and not secure

Not sure of the exact calcs but according to some online estimates you’d need something more than half a million in investment assets to be able to give yourself that kind of deal for the rest of your life from when you reach retirement age.
There are about 2.6 million people on the OAP. Assuming they’re very roughly spread across relevant life expectancies, that would be an unfunded liability with a NPV of about two thirds of a trillion.
Sounds alarming. [Anyone with real skills in this kind of analysis please correct me if I’m way off.]

Perhaps she studied under Homer P, and he taught her everything he knew? Teaching bank tellers to balance their cash seems to be about the limit of his capabilities. Going beyond that into accrued liabilities is far beyond him.

The defence counsel has done well.
Just received this from the Lib Dems…
“Earlier today you may have received an unauthorised email from Kirsty O’Sullivan announcing that she was leaving the party. We would prefer not to spend time talking about internal party matters at this crucial time, but there were a few issues raised that need to be addressed.
Last week Kirsty resigned from her role as Administration Officer. The Board of LDP Admin (the entity that employs staff) has accepted her resignation and thanked her for her contributions, and are working quickly to find a replacement on short notice. We hope to have an announcement to report soon.
Kirsty’s email makes a number of baseless accusations. To be clear, all funds raised for the national campaign are being spent on the national campaign, with no campaign money going to LDP Admin or the National Executive or the High Court challenge. Your donations are treated at all times with the utmost integrity and accountability. Suggestions of bullying, nepotism, and sexism are also unfounded. In particular, we have been delighted to announce an excellent lineup of women as candidates across the country, all of whom were selected on merit.
As a final note, with the federal election less than two months away I’d like to comment on the amazing job being done by the candidates and volunteers from across the country. We will be running more candidates at this election than ever before, and they are high-quality, dedicated, and hardworking people who are doing the party proud. The campaign teams and organisational committees are full of volunteers (very few people get paid by the party) who are working insane hours to help in the political fight for smaller government and more freedom. Thank you all.
Yours in liberty,
Liberal Democrats
Careful, that’s actionable.

This whole Charlton / Parramatta thing makes one realize that the political class at best holds us in contempt and at worst hates us.
Thinking about SloMo and birthday cakes there are a few parallels between the SloMo and Keating governments. Both fell over the line at their first election. Neither was a “bad” government in the R-G-R class. Keating was terminated with extreme prejudice at the first opportunity with a viable alternative and I fully expect SloMo to go the same way. Australians just couldn’t stomach Peanut Head as PM.
Dot, I’m with you – I can’t either. Much of the testimony was previously improperly released to the Lefty press years ago. But there was much extraneous, salacious detail accepted as “testimony” that muddied the waters.

Back when a few journos had a clue. Seems a long time ago.
He was okay, Miltonf, but like all scribes, he did write some crap. By the early 80s we were really ending up in the bog house if we didn’t do something about the closed economy and he championed opening up. However, he wrote some really stupid shit at times and I recall a piece he wrote that was beyond stupid.
He said he visited a jewelry store in Mosman, Sydney, and saw a dude buying silver trays and stuff. He reckoned that the purchase was an indication we were in trouble as the dude was stocking up on silverware.

Jews invented Hollywood! They didn’t just work there. They didn’t just thrive there. Jews created Hollywood. Jews gave us the film business, the art of the motion picture. Harry Cohn, William Fox, Carl Laemmle, Louis B. Mayer, Jack and Harry Warner, Adolph Zucker, David O. Selznick… Why not just open a museum about water and leave out the wet?

Finally a good news story about from the US.
Lax border controls, good and hard.
South American ‘criminal tourist’ gangs are targeting affluent Silicon Valley homes for burglary, police say
Officers in Hillsborough, California, just under 20 miles south of San Francisco, claimed in a community bulletin on Sunday that residents were being targeted by sophisticated burglary gangs.
In a previous bulletin last month, they said: “Criminal tourism has become very prevalent in the United States, with many sophisticated burglary crews coming from South America…
Both cities have an a median household income of more than $250,000 (£198,886), according to the 2020 US census, and the vast majority of residents own their own houses.
The claims come amid a string of high-profile burglaries and robberies in the San Francisco Bay Area, many of which have been blamed on organised theft rings hailing from other states or from abroad.
Describing the “tourist” gangs in a February bulletin, Hillsborough police said: “Groups can range in size from a few to dozens of members. Groups often enter the United States legally.
“Once they arrive, groups will acquire vehicles by either renting or buying a slightly used luxury vehicle to easily blend into their target communities.
Ash Barty’s retirement speech (the Hun):

At least they can leave and return to their own State. Here the very act of being a tourist makes you a criminal.

Take it up with Melbourne Croatia FC, Wendy ball boy.

Graders wone the last one cans will win this one, TN.
What’s the etiquette for epic stoushes? How quickly are they supposed to degenerate into mindless personal abuse?
Regarding this Ukraine business, it just shows what an absolute waste of money the UN is.
Several of the eastern provinces of that benighted country, and the Crimea, were part of Russia till the 1960’s when Khrushchev, a Ukrainian, gifted them to the Ukrainian SSR. The people who live there are Russians, they speak Russian, and they want to live in Russia.
The UN should have a mechanism which enables a referendum to take place in those provinces which would allow those citizens to choose their destiny. The UN could run the referendum and provide peacekeepers to effect a safe and smooth transfer should the people choose to return to Russia.
This whole mess could have been avoided if the UN had done its job.
“Good morning, hello Legal Aid. Listen it’s Craig Thom- yes, Craig, you know me. Yes, that Craig – used to be an MP. So I’m banged up again.”
“Hey, so I used the union credit card for a few dodgy purposes! So? And a few Covid grants for a couple of things! So what? Do you reckon you can come down and do the usual? What do you think about the slightly insane defence?”
Former Labor MP Craig Thomson has been granted bail after being charged with four Covid payment fraud charges to the value of $25,000, with a court hearing he allegedly used the money for mortgage, school fees, credit card payments and other personal reasons.
The fresh charges were laid following Thomson’s arrest on Tuesday for an alleged breach of an apprehended violence order (AVO).
Thomson, 57, spent the night in custody and appeared via audio visual link at Gosford Local Court on Wednesday before Magistrate Jennifer Price.
Javlin missile. What a great name for a tank wrecker.
It subjective TN, my preference is number one.
1) thoughtful criticism and creative insults.
2) The one’s that feature victimhood are only useful as a warning to others not to descend.
By God he’s good, John H. He’s just so good. He says that other than massively helping Ukraine militarily, the one thing the US could do is to materially change the supply of oil so that the price collapses. Why? Because what you need most of all to conduct a war is money, money and more money.
Best ask the SME Tim.
He’s around somewhere.
Racism is a “festering sore” on Australia’s national psyche
are these people stupid or evil?
Sure enough, up pops a commenter informing us that Gough Whitlam ended the war in Vietnam…..
Both?
He sidles in every day and posts some of the funniest, most insightful one-liners.
Kudos, HP Bear.
Yes.

I find the Bear extremely rude and arrogant and always uses sobriquets for people. Some spouses find it very hurtful. Very hurtful and he should be banned.
Who’s footing the bill, and why?
This gets better and better. The NT News:
I will assert here that no copper, anywhere, gets charged with murder without the Commish’s sign-off. The ‘investigation team’ are already on record saying they violently disagreed with the decision, which was never in their hands to start with, as well as the speed of the process.
That does not happen on its own.
Uh huh. I hear different.
Chalker will be gone – either by his own hand, of Michael Gunner’s – by year’s end, if not before.
I think, for instance, if someone uses say Turtlehead as a nickname, that person ought to be banned. There’s just not enough banning going on and spouses are waking up at all hours in the morning (mostly drunk) protesting The Bear’s nicknames. He’s so awful.
“I’ve remained at arm’s length during the whole period of this investigation, and that remains to this day,” Mr Chalker said.
So even after his chap has been found not guilty, he chooses not to “involve himself” with the ongoing and Im guessing near unprecedented trawling through weeks of worn footage to find something else to slime him with.
Seems a distinct lack of leadership and failure to reign in an apparently out of control internal investigations mob.
Isn’t Kerry Stokes funding Ben Roberts Smith?
I think it can be taken away.
Didn’t stop him giving interviews to the national press last year explaining how confident he was there would be a ‘successful prosecution’.
Unbelievable hubris.
Mr Ed
It’s sundown, so we’re expecting a ton of stupid shit to be posted. Hurry the F Up as it’s getting dark.
I told one of those paid collectors for Sea Shepherd the main problem with whaling is that they were too hard to kill. After that we had a mutual agreement not to acknowledge each other.
The price you pay for shopping at farmers markets. But they do the best bread by a considerable margin.
Aways good to start the working day (or night) with a chuckle.
Cheers.
Albo can do better than Gough.
Gough only ended one war.
Albo can end two of them.
The war on CO2 and the war on covid.
Ok, in my dreams.
Bear.
Get the wife to make it. I bought mine a bread making machine for a gift once (may have been birthday or Valentine’s, I forget). She makes really decent bread on weekends.
KD – they work on the assumption people have the memory of a goldfish. If you can get something off the front page of the local paper for 3 days- problem solved.
Richard Marles….”I knew nothing”….is a liar
Anthony Albanese….”I knew nothing”….is a liar
Penny Wong….”I knew nothing”…. is a liar
But the liars get away with it, because as far as the MSM scum is concerned, there’s nothing to see when allegations are against the left.
Use a fucking Javelin missile. A javelin would make it so much easier. That’s what they’re there for.

Next time ask if they have any of this.

For “treason, cowardice, felony or of any infamous crime” under the revised rules of 1920.*
I wonder what was considered an “infamous crime” in 1920? If someone performed the same acts today, but they had been decriminalised, would they have to forfeit the award?
* Even that was against King George V’s wishes.
The King feels so strongly that, no matter the crime committed by anyone on whom the VC has been conferred, the decoration should not be forfeited. Even were a VC to be sentenced to be hanged for murder, he should be allowed to wear his VC on the scaffold.
Thanks JC. Used to be a decent sliced sourdough into the freezer for toast and marmalade for breakfast. Bread now on the no go foods unfortunately.
Dude, really? Wow!
Old Bloke:
The UN shouldn’t be allowed to even run a bloody chook raffle.
It has a long run of preventing situations being solved.
Is Cyprus still partitioned?
The fucking climate activists blocking Botany are krauts.
I think Ash Barty is a lovely young woman, a fantastic tennis player and a fantastic role model for all Australians, young and old. Good on Ash for retiring on her own terms. Unlike Serena the Tank Engine, who’s spent the last few years chasing after Margaret Court’s GOAT crown….which she’ll never surpass, and humiliating herself in tournaments trying to do so, Barty is bowing out with grace and dignity…and as Number One!
Kol hakavod Ash.

Bad news!
A friend recently discovered he’s ciliac and has been told no gluten.
According to him gluten free baked products are ghastly.
Hope you’re getting a second opinion on that one Bear.
Yeah – joining dry rice, steak and a bunch of other stuff. I’m not really on mush but most things require a degree of care most people wouldn’t even think about. Could be worse.
They should be deported.
Cue some cute baby photos to enlist support from the Doctors wives.
Rape.
The bread thing is really a texture thing – it doesn’t really ball up easily for the throat muscles to deal with. Essentially the mouth and the windpipe get “confused” which is not a good thing.
That’s true, but Gluten isn’t the issue, Grain is.
Because it’s so hybridised, true wheat has been lost.
I don’t think entertainers or sports people should be expected to be role models.
FFS, dude!
Has wifey being looking at your Cat account again?
Did you change your password like I told you?
“MarlboroRed25s” is too easy to crack.
So glad I didn’t buy a Volkswagen
Here we go again.
