Telstra offered FTTN for that at the time, but they said no, as they wanted fibre to the premises, which they then rolled back to FTTN (unless you have a cable TV cable, in which case you are last on the list).

Hungary Will Continue Purchases of Oil and Gas from Russia, Zelenskyy and European Union Furious
May 3, 2022 | Sundance
Defying threats from the European Union, Hungary has announced they will not stop purchasing oil and gas from Russia and join a blockade of energy products by the 27 member EU alliance.
…
Slovakia has also announced they will not participate, which makes any collective EU action problematic. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is reported to be using his connection to the U.S. and Joe Biden in an effort to force the EU to deliver additional sanctions. Essentially, if an EU country does not fall in line, Zelenskyy will instruct Biden not to support that EU country with the money congress is preparing to use as blackmail.
…
Any deal on Russian oil would require the consent of all 27 EU members, meaning it could not pass without Hungary and Slovakia’s approval. The bloc agreed on an embargo on Russian coal in the fifth package last month, while it has not yet ventured into gas.
The Lincoln Project was always DemonRat Astroturf.

UPDATE 9:13 p.m. ET
Decision Desk HQ has also called the race, so it is pretty clear that Vance has won the GOP nomination for U.S. Senate in Ohio:
UPDATE 9:12 p.m. ET
With 44 percent reporting, Vance only continues to increase his lead. His 122,827 votes–30.6 percent–are significantly higher than Mandel’s 98,409 votes and 24.5 percent. Dolan is in third with 87,909 votes and 21.9 percent. Hard to see how Vance does not formally win this one, as Wasserman from Cook Political Report projects.
I seem to recall that it was originally – back of an RAAF napkin – estimated to be $4.5 billion. It was not at all a properly costed estimate (obviously) and this is back in the days when a billion dollars was a lot of money.
The next announcement put it up to about $45 billion which would be partly covered by private investment. I think they there was some bodgey fiddling with financial modelling trying to sell the opportunity to invest, heroic assumptions and judiciously chosen values such as WACC. Then there was the assurance that it would be protected from competition.
Anyway, that is my recollection.
I’m confused; I thought Zelensky was the puppet.

Election Integrity Dead: Killed in Court
. In 2020, an unprecedented burst of mail ballots swamped election offices because of the fright of COVID. All over the country, judges struck down or suspended laws that would have ensured those mail ballots were processed according to the law. At the same time, hundreds of millions of dollars in private money poured into election offices to change the way the elections were run.
. It is a dangerous place we find ourselves, where citizens through the legislative process are enacting safeguards to keep our elections clean and manageable, yet a hyper-funded onslaught has mastered the art of killing real, verifiable, integrity in elections.
. First, do not assume there will be a “red wave” this November. Many election operatives have demonstrated a fierce ability to adapt and leverage cultural and technological awareness into electoral wins.
. Second, a “red wave” cannot overcome the “blue wave” tactics of 2020 seen in urban areas flush with outside cash.
. Third, the Biden administration is already turning the battleship of the entire federal government toward turnout in 2022. Institutions have mobilized every single agency into a weapon to increase voter turnout among “historically marginalized communities.” Decoded, that means racial groups. This is all happening with little fanfare, and little means to stop it.
– For good measure, the Biden administration proposed a $10 billion federal fund available for the next decade to replicate and expand the cash injections to election offices like those seen in 2020. Another $5 billion is requested for the U.S. Postal Service so it can expand its role in voting-by-mail. Even if the administration gets a fraction of that request, it will make the $500 million spent in 2020 from private groups to increase urban turnout look like small potatoes
Predictably, an enormous litigation apparatus attacked nearly every post-2020 election reform in federal or state court. Too often, they were successful.
Arizona, for example, enacted legislation to ensure that only citizens are registering and voting. No sooner had the ink dried on Governor Doug Ducey’s signature, than the state was hit with a federal lawsuit by Mi Familia Vota, an organization dedicated to “build[ing] Latino political power by expanding the electorate….” This promises to be another example of trench warfare-style litigation ultimately decided well into the future.
Before you think these sorts of lawsuits are frivolous, consider the fact that every lawsuit like it brought against other states has effectively won to the expense of election integrity.
Additionally, governors in five states – Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Michigan and Louisiana — have vetoed legislation that would have banned or restricted the Mark Zuckerberg-style private funding of elections.
Election process fights have become a Darwinian “survival of the fittest.” Whichever side can adapt to a new technological or cultural environment the fastest and the best often determines who wins and who loses.
In 2020, an unprecedented burst of mail ballots swamped election offices because of the fright of COVID. All over the country, judges struck down or suspended laws that would have ensured that those mail ballots were processed according to the law. At the same time, hundreds of millions of dollars in private money poured into election offices to change the way the elections were run.
The reaction in many states in 2021 — Arizona, Florida, Texas, Iowa — was to adapt, ban private money, and strengthen safeguards. Unfortunately, these cures faced an even more powerful “Darwinian” response — the well-established, often partisan control of the judiciary. Courtrooms became the forum where experienced killers of election integrity law went to hunt.

Controversial Nikola electric truck goes into production – with a catch
However, there’s a catch – the small print reveals it’s actually an Iveco chassis paired with a third-party electric powertrain.
Assembled in Arizona, the new vehicle is designed for long-haul commercial deliveries and weighs an estimated 37.2 tonnes.
A single electric motor on the rear axle sends 480kW to the road, permitting a claimed top speed of 120km/h.
However, due to the Tre’s extreme weight this allows a claimed range of just 560km, according to unnamed testing protocols
While a YouTube video showed a Nikola truck driving on a highway, employees later admitted it had been a rolling chassis pushed downhill.

Resigned his seat, did a few months in the (cough) wilderness as some sort of “consultant to the government” (coz of his indispensable skillset y’see)

Then turned up as Premier Anna Bligh’s Chief of Staff for a coupla years
Then turned up at the NBN on a salary of circa half a million (this was almost 15 years ago now)
He’s now a Director-General in the Qld Public Service, been there for Ten years.

That electric prime mover, the article says that it weighs 37.2 tons, if that’s right then unless the heavy vehicle rules in Australia change it wouldn’t be able to pull a trailer. The max mass on the steer of a prime mover is 6 ton and the max on a tandem drive axles is 17 ton, that’s it a total of 23 ton if distributed correctly. I reckon the reporter has it wrong and may be referring to the weight of the truck and trailer.
Queensland public servants reported 1552 instances of corruption by government officials (i.e. Labor party hacks, be they ministers or staffers) in 2020/21, the state ombudsman recently reported.

VIDEO: Tucker exposes the Democrats’ desperate desire for war
Tucker Carlson’s opening monologue on Monday night was a wake-up call to Americans: the Democrat political class, with help from (or no opposition from) Republicans, seems determined to bring America into a direct conflict with Russia. He points out that the Democrats’ warmongering is so extreme that even Noam Chomsky longs for Trump to be back in the White House. He recognizes that Trump, whom he dislikes, would keep us off the path of a hot war with Russia.
As all of us do, Tucker understands that Putin is a dangerous bully and that the Ukrainian people are suffering. However, although he doesn’t say so, I’m sure Tucker also appreciates, as all of us should, that Ukraine’s government is deeply corrupt (money-laundering and human-trafficking, among other things) and has been so for a long time.
It’s not a coincidence that Hunter Biden, while his father was vice president, got a cushy sinecure earning $83,000 a month sitting on the board of an oil company, despite knowing nothing about Ukraine or about oil. Nor is it a coincidence that Zelensky has become massively wealthy as Ukraine’s president.
Tucker rightly traces the Democrats’ fulminating hostility toward Putin to the 2016 election. Hillary and her cohorts created the lie that Putin put Trump in office. Now, despite having the lie repeatedly disproven, Democrats have come to believe this lie. They want revenge.
They also simply want war.
Also on The Daily Expose:
Every single article (of the ten I scanned through) featured this phrase:
Someone’s read that, gone ‘oooh I like it, instant cred’ and then used it repeatedly until it was pointed out that it didn’t mean what that commenter thought it meant.
My favourite bit was when Professor Marsh demonstrated how the spike protein gets into the DNA the same way coloured liquid gets into chalk.
Chomsky for Trump!
Now there’s an endorsement you didn’t expect.
I think that means “chicken casserole” in French.
Quick calc.
Assuming combination of city and hwy gives average 80 kph, that means 7 hours of driving. At 480 kW that is 4.8 x 7 = 33.6 Tesla 100 kWh batteries. They weigh about half a tonne each (I think it’s 1070 lb from memory). So that means 16.8 tonnes of batteries even before structurals, wheels and tyres and the motor itself.
If you assume the 80/20 rule (80% full is “full”, 20% of full is “empty”) that increases the battery weight to 28 tonnes. Which would fit that 37.2 ton figure.
That’s a lot of weight to carry around.
Well, at long last I know who ‘driller’ is.
I thought it meant “cut the grass”.
I still can’t work out how those guys got the hard boiled egg into the milk bottle.

German Study: Number of Those Suffering Severe Complications After Taking COVID Vaccine Is 40 Times Higher Than Previously Recorded
Study with around 40,000 participants
The study “Safety Profile of Covid-19 Vaccines” (“ImpfSurv” for short), which focuses on the effects and side effects of the various vaccines, has been running for a year. Around 40,000 vaccinated people are interviewed at regular intervals throughout Germany. Participation in the study is voluntary and independent of how the vaccines work in the subjects.
One result: eight out of 1,000 vaccinated people struggle with serious side effects. “The number is not surprising,” explains Prof. Dr. Harald Matthes, head of the study: “It corresponds to what is known from other countries such as Sweden, Israel or Canada. Incidentally, even the manufacturers of the vaccines had already determined similar values ??in their studies.” With conventional vaccines, such as against polio or measles, the number of serious side effects is significantly lower.
Thats why we should stick to natures own battery – carbon based fuels.

The war on cars is a war on ordinary people
Greens seem blissfully unaware that cars are a necessity for most Brits.
Environmentalists have had it in for cars for years. We all know they’d like to ban cars altogether, but they appear to have come to the (correct) conclusion that doing so sounds unreasonable to most people. And so we’ve had a long line of proposals to make driving more expensive and difficult. The latest one being floated is an effective ban on second car
Like all the worst ideas in British politics today, this one hails from Scotland. Stefanie O’Gorman, who sits on the Scottish government’s Climate Emergency Response Group, said last month that the construction of houses with double garages drove her ‘bonkers’. She told the Edinburgh Science Festival that owning two cars ignores ‘the social and cultural changes taking place as we adapt our lives to live more sustainably… we can’t afford for everybody to have two cars’.
Though this isn’t yet the formal policy of any government in the UK, in the age of Net Zero the car is public enemy No1. Low-emissions zones are already in effect in London, Birmingham, Glasgow and Bath, with Manchester, Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Newcastle and Sheffield all planning to follow suit. Even in cities that do not have such measures in place, parking is frequently either impossible or expensive.
Such policies only really make sense if you are a 25-year-old graduate who has only ever lived in London. When I lived in London, virtually no one I knew owned a car – including a chap whose job it was to write about motoring. Many born-and-bred Londoners in their twenties have never even got behind the wheel. But most of Britain is nothing like London.
Take where I grew up in rural Staffordshire. The nearest bus stop was an hour’s walk, the school my siblings and I went to was nine miles away, and our parents worked in different towns in separate counties. Not having two cars in a situation like this would be virtually impossible – and there are millions of people in the country who face similar issues. Dad might have to travel frequently for work, the kids might attend different schools, mum might work nights, the shops might be a long way away – the list of reasons why a second car might be necessary is potentially a very long one.
Me neither.
But it definitely proves the vaccine destroys your DNA.

Oops, my bad. My bro just told me I’m wrong.
“Cut the grass” is, in fact, “coup de grâce”. How embarrassment.
Employees of the tech giant Apple are revolting against a plan to get staff back into the office for three days a week, claiming it will make the company “younger, whiter and more male-dominated”.
A group of US-based Apple employees have formed an organisation dubbed “Apple Together” and claim the initiative is “only driven by fear”.
The unnamed staff have sent an open letter to the executives of the multi-trillion dollar company and give six reasons why they believe the plan to get back to the office will fail.
Chief among them are concerns that it will negatively impact diversity within the company.
“Apple will likely always find people willing to work here, but our current policies requiring everyone to relocate to the office their team happens to be based in, and being in the office at least three fixed days of the week, will change the make-up of our workforce,” the letter says.
“It will make Apple younger, whiter, more male-dominated, more neuro-normative, more able-bodied. In short, it will lead to privileges deciding who can work for Apple, not who’d be the best fit.”
Examples of these privileges include being born in the “right place”, being young and having a stay-at-home spouse.
Thus far, the letter is believed to have garnered around 200 signatures, roughly 0.1 per cent of the organisation’s 165,000 employees.
The reporter who wrote about the electric truck weight would be as clued in about trucks as the dribbling cretins here bing bonging all over the place.

If you are going to defame electric truck manufacturers you should at least be man enough to put your real name to the slander.
If electric trucks are not viable, surely this means we should send more stuff by electric train.
Thanks for putting this informative vid up for us here this morning. I only just finished it, after many interruptions, and now find it as a post.
Not to be missed – Why is the MSM ignoring this paper?
nothing a bit of gaffer can’t fix
Gonna struggle to pin this on the McDonnell Douglas accountants!
So everything here seems totally normal:
My three children ALL have Tourette syndrome
Interesting choice of names there. Just putting it out there but maybe – just maybe – it’s the mum with the issues and we’ve got a bit of Munchausen-by-proxy going on? Look at the photos of the kids (beautiful kids by the way) – it appears Tryxx is also ‘a boy trapped in a girl’s body’, along with being autistic, having OCD, an (unspecified) anxiety disorder and Tourettes.
Interesting that 15yo Void isn’t participating in this ‘brave mum’ article, and she looks pretty normal. I get the impression that Void may be the Saffron character from Absolutely Fabulous in this family. Hopefully Tryxx manages follow in her sister’s wake and not that of her nutty mother.
For ATY autists:
What fuckin’ deadshit fuckin’ thought fuckin’ “Tryxx” was a smart fuckin’ thing to put on my fuckin’ birth certificate?
This happens way more then reported.
Here’s the thing:
“a sudden decisive exercise of force in politics especially : the violent overthrow or alteration of an existing government by a small group”
According to Trusted Bloggers, this is not sudden at all. It’s apparently been going on for decades, if not longer.
In politics especially – this would be the Greg Hunt/Jessica Mauboy factor.
I have yet to see the violent overthrow of an Australian government. Trusted Bloggers indicate it is just the opposite (see above). See also: Hunt and Mauboy.
The WEF/NWO/Lizard People/Illuminati/Yamnya, according to who talk to, are everywhere. They have infiltrated every level of society except for a tiny number of Last Holdouts, so cannot be a small group.
The key take-home is – unless you know what a word or phrase means, and you want to insert something cool and hip into a wordwall, don’t use it. Just because you see it on a Trusted Blogger site and think it’s dandy does not mean it is ideal for purpose. Otherwise it’s just mindless copy-paste.

Elon Musk Tweeted My Cartoon
Commentators on the left set about debunking my ‘lived experience’ with charts and abstractions.
By Colin Wright
I was out for a walk last Thursday when Elon Musk tweeted a political cartoon that I created in August 2021. It received hundreds of thousands of retweets and more than 1.5 million likes. The stick figure in the middle depicts me, a center-left liberal in 2008, and how the ground had shifted under my feet by 2012 and 2021.
At the outset, I stand happily beside “my fellow liberal,” who is slightly to my left. In 2012 he sprints to the left, dragging out the left end of the political spectrum along and pulling the political “center” closer to me. By 2021 my fellow liberal is a “woke ‘progressive,’ ” so far to the left that I’m now right of center, even though I haven’t moved.
When my cartoon went viral, it resonated with many people—and caused dissonance in the left-wing media.
I created the cartoon to help sort out my feelings of increasing political alienation from the left. I’m a lifelong Democrat. I turned 18 in 2003 and have never voted for a Republican. But over the past decade, and especially the past five years, I’ve watched my party distance itself from the values and principles I hold dear.
People on the left once viewed free speech as sacrosanct and championed speaking truth to power. Now they disparage open expression as a danger to democracy and minorities. The aspiration of judging individuals by the content of their character rather than by the color of their skin has given way to identity politics and “equity” initiatives that prioritize group interests over individual rights. Women’s rights, previously understood as relating to their oppression on the basis of @sex, is now viewed by the left through the lens of gender identity, which gives priority to men who declare themselves to be women. Today’s progressive can’t even tell you what a woman is.
It’s also based on my own. I am an evolutionary biologist, and from 2008 to 2020 I worked to become a university professor. But while working as a postdoctoral fellow at Penn State in 2018, I found myself ostracized by scientific colleagues and people I thought were my close friends because I was unwilling to promote scientifically inaccurate claims about biology to avoid offending those who identify as transg@nder.
Suddenly, simple truths, supported by both science and common sense—such as “male and female are real biological categories defined by reproductive anatomy”—became taboo. For my great sin of stating plain biological facts and advocating for civil discourse, I endured relentless smears as “transph@bic,” “far right,” even a “white supr@macist.” Similar experiences have played out for millions across the U.S. and abroad.
I hope many on the left will resist the urge to debunk or dismiss my cartoon and instead use it as an opportunity to understand why so many people feel it describes their experience.
I hope everyone is reading this bullshit.
Denial is a real THING as well.
KD has it bad.
Do we really need to go over history and the facts?!
I’m here to point out the denialism here is sick.
I am well aware that when people have been fooled the last thing they’ll admit is that they were.
No matter what.
I understand how weak minds end up like this.
But here at Dover’s denialists, the really sad fucks are here 24/7 holding back others from regaining their marbles.
So, climbing the greasy pole. jumping at shadows, thrashing around in the long grass, promising to do better than the other guy – while playing snuggle bunnies under the Doona of Official Entitlements and Privileges – doesn’t quite cut it?
Ruthlessly evil henchpersons are so hard to come by. If I was Klaus Schwab I’d be making the whole miserable lot walk across the bridge over the shark tank.
I suspect there’s a pretty decent chance that Void will be in touch with Qld’s Births, Deaths and Marriages on the day she turns 18 with a certain application to file.
Just reading between the lines here, but I think something may have happened to Mandy between the birth of Conor and Void.
Stories like this are not laughing matters. At best, parents who do whatever they can to get their kids diagnosed with everything under the sun are enormous drains on the public purse. At worst, they unnecessarily saddle their children with lifelong mental issues and developmental difficulties.
Yet again, the NSW public school teachers are on strike.

The Supreme Court Leak on Roe v. Wade
Justice Alito’s careful draft opinion finally grasps the Constitutional nettle on abortion
By WSJ The Editorial Board
The leak of a draft majority opinion from the Supreme Court that would overturn Roe v. Wade is an unprecedented breach of trust, and one that must be assumed was done with malice aforethought. The Court’s response should be to go about its business as usual and not be intimidated.
The question to ask in a leak case is always, cui bono? Who benefits? The Court confirmed Tuesday that the leaked draft by Justice Samuel Alito is real, so we doubt the leak came from the five Justices or their clerks in the apparent majority. What would they have to gain?
The leaker is probably someone who opposes the majority view and wants to bring outside pressure to bear on the Court to turn one of the Justices and sustain a constitutional right to abortion. The leak to Politico confirms our editorial speculation last week that five Justices voted after oral argument to overturn Roe. But as we reported, the pressure is intense to get one of them to turn, which has happened before.
In a classic of the lobbying genre, progressive law professor Noah Feldman devoted a long Bloomberg essay last August to telling Justice Brett Kavanaugh that saving Roe is his best chance to remove the stain of his confirmation fight. Anyone who believes that isn’t paying attention to Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse and the left. The end of April is the customary if unofficial date inside the Court for changing a vote, so the leak shortly after that date suggests the motive is to ramp up the outside pressure.
It is already succeeding, as the reaction from the left and the media has been apocalypse now. Mr. Feldman rushed out his view that the “Supreme Court Is Broken,” a meme to discredit the Court. But the person trying to break the Court is the leaker.
Democratic leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer were out with a press release shortly after the story broke on Monday: “The Republican-appointed Justices’ reported votes to overturn Roe v. Wade would go down as an abomination, one of the worst and most damaging decisions in modern history.”
Their cool reason continues: “Several of these conservative Justices, who are in no way accountable to the American people, have lied to the U.S. Senate, ripped up the Constitution and defiled both precedent and the Supreme Court’s reputation.”
This fury is intended to intimidate the Justices and, if that doesn’t work, use abortion to change the election subject in November from Democratic policy failures. Look for the return of fevered threats to break the Senate filibuster, pack the Supreme Court, and impeach the Justices.
The best response from the Court would be to ignore the political fallout and focus on the law. Chief Justice John Roberts asked the marshal of the Court to conduct an investigation into the leak, which is appropriate but rarely successful. A statement from all nine Justices deploring the leak would be a useful defense of the Court as an institution, as the liberal Justices know they may eventually be in the majority.
One question is how fast the Court should now move to publish its decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. There’s an argument for getting it out fast to make it a fait accompli. Politico said the Alito draft was circulated in February, so the Justices have had ample time to absorb it and respond.
We hate to say this, but some abortion fanatic could decide to commit an act of violence to stop a 5-4 ruling. It’s an awful thought, but we live in fanatical times.
Our guess is that the leak is likely to backfire at the Court. A Justice who switched his or her vote now would be open to ridicule for wilting under pressure. It would also invite more leaks in the future by showing they get results. A pattern of pre-emptive leaks of draft opinions would destroy the Court.
On the most crucial point—the substance of the law and Constitution—Justice Alito’s opinion is carefully argued and comprehensive. It grapples directly with the constitutional issues that the Court ignored in Roe and dodged in Planned Parenthood v. Casey. It quotes from the many liberal authorities who criticized the Court’s legal invention. The Court “simply asserted the result it reached,” as Yale scholar Alexander Bickel put it.
The opinion deals exhaustively with the issue of when the Court should overturn a precedent, and why it is justified in this case. It also makes clear that Roe is sui generis, and overturning it does not signal a threat to other precedents, such as Griswold on contraception. Expect to hear about a parade of fanciful legal horribles in the coming days.
As we wrote last week, overturning Roe will not be the end of abortion in America. It would merely return the matter to the states, where abortion law was liberalizing in 1973 before the Court usurped that political and moral debate. If it is overturned, some states will restrict or ban abortion rights while others may make it easier.
But this profound moral question will be debated and settled the way it should be in a democracy—by the people.
Because you are experiencing the same denialism problem, just from the opposite direction.
Sorry Struth baby, but nobody is coming to put you in a concentration camp. Not even Jessica Mauboy.
You’d be better off stringing razorwire round the fences of Castle Kenworth, hiring a few light towers from your local Kennards or Coates, and have Mrs Struth dress up as Ilsa for you. Because I think Jessica Mauboy and Grace Tame are a little preoccupied…
Sorry… Void is completely fucked up, too.

Oh shit.. I just read that article. Apparently TWO of her kids ‘are trans’.
Poor kids.. what a shit show.
It was funny this morning, I wondered where all the kids were who normally go to school at 8:30am. Is it a Zoom day? Then went to the shops. That’s where I found all the kids.
Brain goes *ding*, there’s a strike today…
Then I wondered if the kids would get more useful education going to the shops with mum than they would do with their green-haired qwerty Marxist teachers.
Panicked Dems Lay Groundwork to Codify Roe, Impeachment of SCOTUS Conservative Justices
“Several conservative Justices, who are in no way accountable to the people, have lied to the Senate, ripped up the Constitution, and defiled precedent and the Court’s reputation,” read a joint statement from Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Panicked Dems Lay Groundwork to Codify Roe, Impeachment of SCOTUS Conservative Justices
“Several conservative Justices, who are in no way accountable to the people, have lied to the Senate, ripped up the Constitution, and defiled precedent and the Court’s reputation,” read a joint statement from Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
As expected, Democrats just lost it in the aftermath of the bombshell report from Politico about the draft majority opinion from the Supreme Court in which Justice Samuel Alito wrote in response to the Mississippi pro-life case currently before the court that “We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled.”
While draft opinions are subject to change and no actual ruling has been made (as Chief Justice John Roberts confirmed in a statement Tuesday), as far as Democrats are concerned this is their Code Red Moment to spring into action and in the process willingly and deliberately undermine every single institution in this country in order to try and preserve the so-called “right” to abortion.
Two options they’re laying out on the table to “rectify” the dire (for them) situation are 1) to “codify” Roe v. Wade via Congressional legislation and 2) to accuse conservative Justices including Alito and Brett Kavanaugh of “lying” during their confirmation hearings when they were asked about Roe v. Wade.
Predictably, “LIED” trended on Twitter for a time today in the midst of Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer leading the way on the “lie” line of attack along with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi:
As far as impeachment hearings for the conservative Justices go, Democrats would have to prove the Justices lied, which would be a tall order because Alito and the others were deliberately vague not to mention cautious in their wording as Supreme Court nominees typically have been when asked about Roe v. Wade.
Also, I’m pretty sure not a single Republican Senator is interested whatsoever in hearing any accusations about “lying” SCOTUS nominees considering Ketanji Brown Jackson lied when she said she couldn’t define what a woman was.
But beyond that, Democrats going this route would absolutely rip this country apart and would cause irreparable harm to the Senate and the SCOTUS confirmation process, which may ultimately be what they want but they won’t like it when the shoe is on the other foot.
THE leak from the SC about their alleged overturn of Roe v Wade is pretty bad even by the dog turd standards of the left; Bongino’s first 10 minutes is all about it.
And a good article about the abominations allowed under abortion law:

Anyone who believes the leak of the draft decision to overturn Roe was an effort to distract attention from the release of a documentary film does not understand the problem and is either a part of it or is – at best – ineffectual.

– They will stop counting this evening then we will wake up in the morning with a different winner than what it was. Happens every time these days. Odd back in the day without technology we could manually count votes and get to a winner the same night but now, with all our grand technology, it takes us days, weeks to get a definitive winner.

If only it were that. It would be something they would grow out of. In my experience, it’s almost always either actively aided and promoted by a parent (usually a mother, I’m afraid to say) and/or there’s a history of serious issues at home. You could probably count on one or two hands the number of cases in which young Joseph has come home out of the blue and told his regular old Mum and Dad that he’s actually a she and they need to start calling her Josephine.
I was perplexed.
I didn’t know beer gets warm in a glass. It is never there long enough.
I must admit to being well and truly over IPA’s. I know there is an advantage in making them – they require least time to ferment so production is quicker – but that does not mean people will necessarily buy them.
Yet they do.
I have been, especially over summer, contenting myself with the crisper lagers, and pilsners. My local bottle-o has most of the local craft beers but also bring some German and Austrian beers – which are not IPA’s.
And they still do not have a chance to warm in the glass.

Some good news:
A ‘teal’ independent push for retiring Liberal MP Greg Hunt’s seat of Flinders south of Melbourne has suffered a major blow with candidate Despi O’Connor suspending her campaign over eligibility problems.
In a statement to be issued shortly, O’Connor says she’d become aware of an eligibility problem under Section 44(vi) of the Australian Constitution stating that “any person who holds any office of profit under the Crown … shall be incapable of being chosen or of sitting as a member of the House of Representatives”.
No one should be banned, Frau good Nazi, no matter what your true desires are.
Like you, they need to be here as examples of ignorant shit stains.
I’d agree with that. As was gay/lezzo in the previous gen.
Thing is.. many of those flipped back to hetero – ie: grew out of it.
Somewhat harder to do if you mutilate your body; and that’s the criminal part not discouraging it.
Some bad news:
Amazon will fund up to $4K per employee who need access to medical services that are more than 100 miles from their homes, including abortions.
I don’t mind a good IPA — but the recent trend of over hopping everything and calling it an IPA is near criminal.
Like you, I rather enjoy a crisp (Czech) pils. The krauts definitely have their beers in order.
A good abbey beer every now and then on special occasions, and a standby longneck of Sheaf for those cold nights.
can i ask some more learned cats…
If Pelosi et al want to “codify” abortion – that basically means pass a law federally right? But firstly wouldn’t that be unconstitutional given the ruling?
Secondly, codification takes time (unless an Executive Order) to get through Congress… so perhaps better for SCOTUS to delay decision until closer to mid terms thus allowing less time to codify?
nah – the classic twist of lemon.

I did read that the banks were bound by APRA to calculate affordability with a margin of, I think, 1.75% over the rate offered.
This margin was increased to 2% late last year.
So, unless porkies are being told on loan applications about earnings, most people should be able to manage 8 x 0.25% rate increases.
Having said that, I agree with Cernovich. If this is a real leak from the Court, it means the Demonics have destroyed the last safe harbor in American legal and political life. There was camaraderie between the justices. I’m guessing not any more though.
In order to catch any future leaker they could change say one single word in any draft that’s handed out and keep a record of who has what. That way you’d know who has what. You could even take that down to the clerk level.

Retiree Ron de Gruchy says today’s mortgage holders need to keep the RBA’s decision in perspective, claiming they have it easy compared with the 17 per cent interest rates he once paid.
Back in 1990 when Mr de Gruchy was paying the exorbitant rate for the loan on his Duncraig home, he and his family lived a frugal existence.
By that time, the former public servant had been wearing the same pair of leather shoes for 15 years — which he still occasionally slips into today.
Mr de Gruchy called on the younger generations to simply tighten their belts.
“The high interest rates were a real squeeze on finances but you just adjusted,” he said.

Sancho, I used to take you as a serious person, then you started bragging about your dangerous driving and you seem to be getting a little unhinged in other ways.

Plus electric trains aren’t used for freight as a rule, they carry passengers.
There was camaraderie between the justices.
That will continue.
