Also looked like the trans person had had cheekbone surgery 

The top left photo in that little collage might have been him (doing a bit of an Insta pout) but that had no dress-ups of any note.
The other three with the dress-ups could have been any one of 20 million olive skinned teenagers.
Looking at it again, the facial details are indistinct but clothing details are quite sharp.
Tampered.
File this with “Whoopi Pays Rittenhouse $22 Billion”.

Identified as a Hispanic trans activist troll self-confessedly trying to goad “transphobes” on some social media platform or other. It’s a strange world some people live in, and frankly the less I know about it the better.

Prosecutors won’t charge the FBI agents who disregarded Olympic gymnasts’ allegations that former national team doctor Larry Nassar sexually assaulted them and later made false statements to cover their mistakes, the Justice Department said.

Charge them and impeach Merrick Garland.

[Me, previously] [Incidentally m0nty, even if you were right about “… he had told them during the day to march on the Capitol…”, what part of “…the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances” don’t you understand?]

You are a very foolish poster, Tim N. The storming of the Capitol building led to death and destruction. It was not peaceful, there are no petitions presented. It was a riot. You idiot.

m0nty you fat mentally defective shiteater.
You were bagging Trump as an insurrection-stoker by saying “… he had told them during the day to march on the Capitol…”.
I pointed out that peaceful assembly and petitioning for grievance are a First Amendment right.
Even if your description of the actual events as a “riot” were correct, your allegation about what Trump said doesn’t get within a trillion light years of implying that Trump did anything beyond encouraging exercise of those rights.

BTW your disingenuous comment about the protest having “led to death…” is pretty vomitous. Unarmed protesters being shot hardly proves that the protesters were doing anything wrong.

The deaths (of unarmed protesters) were all caused by the police (no concern about police violence here), and much of the damage was caused by the many FBI instigators present. The Constitution allows petitions to be presented, but does not demand that they be.

You don’t mind if someone else goes off tap and “stands or falls” but you sure as shit have no intention of actually doing anything yourself?
Sort of like that, eh?

When you speak to somebody who hasn’t submitted, who has fought this all the way, show some respect, shitfabrains.
You’re a submitting little bitch, a failure, yet you still feel the need to be a little upstart.

If you can’t work out that fighting can be non violent and that is exactly how it was said, and is always meant, I can’t help you.
But then again you knew that, didn’t you.

Dover, would you please consider instituting a temporary time-out / naughty corner for excessive trolling, argument for the sake of dispute, and personal abuse that’s not funny or insightful? I’m not calling for the Ban Hammer, just a circuit breaker for when things get tiresome. Since it wouldn’t be permanent, one needn’t worry too much about justifying the decision. Perhaps it would be possible for a member of the Cat to raise it as a point of order (“I call for ‘x’ to be benched for two days for blatant trolling”), to be ratified by popular acclaim (eg a minimum of, say, 20 upticks). With the right settings one could discourage the most egregious behaviour without turning moderation into a daily timesuck. Of course, if it did turn into an unacceptable timesuck, you could write it off as a noble experiment that failed. But if it works, it might lift the level of debate and would surely provide some comedy gold along the way.

Albo will get around to shutting the live sheep trade to satisfy the hurt feelz of the genTeal ladies in the best postcodes.
Meanwhile Fletcher Australia (big processors of lamb) report that shortages in containers and shipping is causing big problems domestically and for customers. Regular supply has given way to haphazard opportunities and as a result either no containers are shipped or too many for the customer to handle.
Perhaps Albo might fix the freight before he destroys the live trade. The boats involved in this are of course specialised and cannot be used for other freight.

and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who were born therefrom, remain
attached thereto, and must one day return thither to be united with our ancestors. This link is

Plenty of stock in the east and the live trade doesn’t exist much anymore. The problems in the supply chain are depressing saleyard prices and there seems no short term fix.
Farmers are cropping more this season and you can expect fewer lambs to be produced in the near future. The price of around 700 cents per kilo gives a clear signal to pull back on livestock, if you have other options.
If you think meat is dear now, just wait.

I watched that video on JoNova about the two blokes. They had no insignia, no distinguishing features, could have been literally anyone. It’s no wonder that they have not been on wanted lists… there is no way to identify them from the thousands of other white dudes there that day. And they didn’t even do much of anything.

To conclude that they must be FBI stooges is demented paranoid delusion. Nobody has confirmed anything. You are a gibbering fool, Bruce.

Uvalde Shooter Fired Gun For 12 Minutes Outside School Before Entering
..
Texas law enforcement officials ignored pleas from distraught parents as a gunman was left alone for up to an hour at a Texas elementary school – killing 19 children and two teachers, before a Border Patrol agent charged into the school and killed the suspect.
..
“Go in there! Go in there!” women shouted at the police soon after the attack began, according to neighbor Juan Carranza, who told the Associated Press about the parents’ efforts to get the police to confront the shooter. Carranza said the officers did not go in.

Education or indoctrination? Babies and toddlers taught LGBTQ

Deborah Tigard in The Spectator

Last Wednesday was my son’s last day at his daycare centre. It had been a good place for him, starting since he was about 10 months old until just before his 2nd birthday. The staff were loving, the management professional, and the facilities the best I had seen.

I made the decision to abruptly pull him out of this centre upon scanning a recent email informing parents that the children would be the latest pawns in an ‘inclusivity’ agenda to combat homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia for the May 17 – International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexism, and Transphobia Day (IDAHOBIT). This would be called ‘Rainbow Day’ and the small children, who can barely talk, would participate in activities exposing them into radical gender theory.

I remember when I first became a mother. Going from carefree independence to being responsible for a new life was like being sucked into a vortex of constant hypervigilance and cortisol. With time, and a couple more kids, the hypervigilance normalised as I established trust with people and institutions in society who assisted me in this parenting journey.

Putting trust in caregivers, babysitters, teachers, relatives, and friends saves one’s sanity; it is a social contract that reflects the shared values of our society. When the babysitter arrives you tell her about the kid’s mealtimes, bedtimes, and house rules, and there are certain things that are assumed which would be insulting to even mention: don’t watch R-rated movies with the kids, don’t invite your boyfriend over, hands off the whisky, etc.

I held similar assumptions for my son’s daycare, that he would not be exposed to inappropriate subject matter, sensitive topics, politics, and adult agendas, especially without my permission. With these assumptions thrown out the window, the social contract was broken and that felt like a betrayal.

Feeling sideswiped by the news of IDAHOBIT Day at the daycare, I called the centre manager. I was informed that not only was Rainbow Day on the agenda, but that LGBTQ material was a ‘part of the children’s curriculum’.

Now, I am very supportive of adults making their own decisions about how they live their lives, but it is wholly unacceptable to use children to make a group of adults feel validated about their own decisions and sexual lifestyles. It is no longer about doing what is best for the kids – but about making a group of adults feel better for the sake of ‘inclusivity’. This is the definition of narcissism, and we should know better.

You could argue that their intentions are in the right place and they are trying to make families feel welcome. But the reality is, LGBTQ activism casts a very wide net, and among their most prominent themes is trans theory and queer theory. You don’t need a degree in gender studies to know that these topics have already impacted children and adolescents in our society.

In Victoria in 2011, there were around a dozen referrals to the Royal Children’s Hospital of young people under 18 seeking gender treatment. In 2020 that number was just under 500, and last year in 2021 it was over 800. That was just in Victoria. These numbers are consistent with trends in both America and the UK.

Ask yourselves, parents, do we as adults bear the responsibility for any of this? What are we pushing our children towards, and who stands to gain over the long term from medicalising and sterilising children for life?

With two older children in primary school, I am on high alert. I can no longer assume any institution is immune from falling prey to the predations of this ideology.

Australian parents, check your school’s diversity, equity, and inclusion policies, look at the curriculum for health and wellbeing lessons, and know if there are any outside organisations being brought in to facilitate these lessons. If you find subject matter that simultaneously flies in the face of biological reality, science, human reason, and history, you have an ideological doctrine on your hands.

We have no choice but to be hypervigilant of what is happening in schools, even for the very young.

An email from Clive. I dunno if there’s anything in what he sees.

“Was the election rigged?”

Hello Everyone,

The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) has released figures (see table below) showing that one quarter of Australians who are enrolled to vote did not turn up to vote.

This means over four million Australians decided not to vote in a country where voting is compulsory. It is the highest number of people who have failed to turn out for voting since 1922.

Additionally, of the people who did turn out to vote, the AEC would have us believe that across the country over 5% cast informal votes, with informal in New South Wales alone over 7%.

Two left-wing media outlets – the Guardian and the ABC – reported exit poll results from pre-poll polling booths saying the UAP had received more than 25% of the vote in New South Wales and a swing of more than 15% towards us in Victoria.

The party has video evidence from a number of sources showing AEC officers removing large numbers of ballot boxes in vans which, in breach of the law, were taken to their private residences. Moreover, our party has been flooded with serious complaints of improper occurrences on Election Day and have been contacted by other parties who have experienced a whole range of anomalies requiring investigation.

?STATE NUM VOTERS? TURNOUT? PERCENTAGE? SWING
NSW? 5,472,469? 4,340,003? 79.31? -12.85
VIC 4,344,208? 3,303,653? 76.05? -16.57
QLD ?3,503,609 2,613,938? 74.61? -16.61
WA 1,773,969
1,281,601 72.24 -17.81
SA 1,272,047 972,569 76.46 -16.61
TAS 402,331 332,606 82.67 -11.67
ACT 314,329 263,420 83.80 -9.35
NT 145,938 97,045 66.50 -11.44
TOTAL 17,228,900 13,204,835 76.64 -15.25
Anthony Albanese was sworn in as Prime Minister, together with his interim ministry, before any writs had been returned or any final result of any seat was known. Never in Australian history has a new Prime Minister been sworn in so quickly after Election Day. This is truly unexplainable and means the Coalition and the Australian Labor party were working together to maintain the status quo in Australia.

It’s easy to conclude that our democracy is dead. However, we must remember the words of a great man who once said; “Governments may come and go, but ideas go on forever.”

I want to personally thank each and every one of you for joining our party. We have a high resolve to pursue the things we believe in, so each and every Australian can be all that they can be and that freedom returns to our country. Thanks for everything you have done at this election.

With this letter there are two videos – one of my speech at the National Press Club in 2014 and an appearance on Q&A when I highlighted the issues and concerns regarding the AEC and the integrity of the elections it conducts in Australia.

CLICK HERE for the National Press Club video

CLICK HERE for the Q&A video

It is worth noting that following the 2103 election, the AEC lost over 1500 ballot papers in a recount after our Senator Dio Wang was elected to Parliament, forcing a new election to be called. At that re-election, our party received 17% of the primary vote and Dio was officially elected again to the Senate giving us the balance of power in the country. The whole process resulted in the Australian Electoral Officer in Western Australia resigning in disgrace.

The actions of the AEC at the 2022 Federal Election are much more serious and their published figures relating to voter turnout and informal votes is simply not believable.

We’ll keep you updated. God Bless Australia,

Clive Palmer

If you weren’t in denial of that fact you would quite easily work out that these are very different times and assuming things are as they were is extremely idiotic.

I am not stating we can prove corruption, but for god’s sake, after what has happened in the USA and France etc, and looking at the reality we are in, a fraudulent election should have been expected.

The motive for stealing the 2020 POTUS election was clear – Orange Man Bad *had* to go. Where’s the motive to steal the Australian election? I just don’t see it, sorry. And the outcome is hardly surprising. Outside of the die-hards, was there any enthusiasm for a coalition victory? Nope. Was there a popular desire for a change in government, combined with a lack of enthusiasm for the prospect of an ALP government? Yep. The results bear this out. The ALP is probably going to just squeak over the line and form government in its own right, on the back of a historically low primary vote. Not exactly a ringing endorsement, but it makes sense if the average voter thinks an Albanese government will be slightly less crap than another term of a Morrison government.

How’s the cheating being alleged to have happened? What’s the theory in how it went down? What are the logistics of this electoral heist? Who benefited and who got shafted?

I think the explanation that turnout was low because of increased antipathy for the political class plus a cohort of Covid worry-warts too scared to go to crowded polling stations is more compelling than widespread electoral fraud.

The counting may not be totally finished but the votes should be in by now, so they should know how many voted..

Yep, no reason why votes can still be received until June 3.

Firstly, pointing out the way the AEC record votes and particularly turnout, is by no means a defence of all of the AEC methodologies.
As for total votes received, I believe they should do a raw count of the numbers of pieces of ballot paper they have in their possession on election night. In person votes, postals, absentees, the lot. That would give a control total to balance to, with the only change being late postals*.
Turnout is then largely locked in.

* I will post a separate comment on this.

Late postals.
No way should there be two weeks leeway.
Fuck, the Electoral Act places all sorts of onus on in-person voters, but allows all sorts of slack for postals.
Here is a way of ramping it up.
.1 All postals must be done using special Express Post envelopes. Not necessarily the 24 hour ones at $5-$6 each. Do a deal with Australia Post for them to be 96 hour delivery, at a cost of, say $2 per envelope.
.2 Valid votes must be posted in an Express Post box by 6:00 PM on election eve.
.3 Australia Post to provide a data dump of the pre-numbered envelopes by close of business the Monday after polling day.
.4 Normal in-person votes attract (I think) $2.90 AEC electoral funding. Postals would attract 90 cents, with the balance to fund the Express Postage.
Postals would halve, because the major parties would stop pushing them. Two bucks down the drain every time they do.

China Insights

While Shanghai remains under lockdown, the outbreak continues to worsen in Beijing. Authorities are escalating their controls. Many neighborhoods have adopted closed management. Couriers and delivery workers are prohibited from entering.
Beijing has a total of 16 administrative districts with a population of permanent residents of over 20 million. The outbreak has now affected 15 districts. Some of the more critical districts involve a minimum population of 11.8 million people.
The virus has breached the heart of the Chinese Communist Party; the forces at play in Beijing’s control measures could trigger unpredictable events that could exacerbate the already volatile political scene in China in 2022.

Given he will be the UAP Lone Ranger, he will be getting ten calls a day from Fat Cloive, with the calls after lunch contradicting the calls before lunch.

cohenite,
On Sukkar.

(From wiki) but it doesn’t give any information on his position on the global warming shakedown.

Michael Sukkar:
Entered parliament in 2013 for the marginal seat of Deakin.

Sukkar served on a number of parliamentary committees [after the 2013 election], such as the Chairman of the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security. In 2014 Sukkar launched the Deakin 200 Club with other conservative Liberal MPs to fundraise for marginal seats held by conservatives within the party.

Michael Sukkar speaking on government initiatives to release Commonwealth land at a housing industry conference in May 2018.

At the 2016 federal election, Sukkar increased his margin by 2.5 points, the Liberal Party’s largest swing in Victoria. On 24 January 2017, the new Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, appointed Sukkar to the ministry as Assistant Minister to the Treasurer. Turnbull gave Sukkar responsibility for addressing housing affordability.

In June 2017 Sukkar, Greg Hunt, and Alan Tudge faced the possibility of being prosecuted for contempt of court after they made public statements criticising the sentencing decisions of two senior judges while the government was awaiting their ruling on a related appeal. They avoided prosecution by making an unconditional apology to the Victorian Court of Appeal.

Sukkar supported Minister for Home Affairs Peter Dutton during the Liberal leadership spill in August 2018, and had a pivotal role in removing then-Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull. At the May 2019 federal election Sukkar was re-elected for a third term, although with a reduced margin of 4.8% (a swing of 1.7%), despite support in his electorate falling to 47% of the two-party-preferred vote in an opinion poll released shortly after the leadership spill. Sukkar was not returned to the ministry after Scott Morrison succeeded Malcolm Turnbull, but returned as Assistant Treasurer.

In December 2020, Sukkar was given further responsibilities. He was sworn in to the roles of Assistant Treasurer, Minister for Housing and Minister for Homelessness, Social and Community Housing.

Political views
Sukkar is a member of the National Right faction of the Liberal Party.

In his maiden speech, Sukkar categorised himself as an “economic liberal” and with “strong conservative foundations”. He credited his Catholic religion as being one of the two most significant influences in his life, in addition to his family. In 2013, he expressed support for the school chaplaincy program at an Australian Christian Lobby forum.

Sukkar opposed same-sex marriage during the Australian Marriage Law Postal Survey. Although initially stating he would follow the outcome of the survey, Sukkar abstained from the vote despite his electorate voting 66% in favour, saying that he could not support the bill.

Looks like i picked a bad week to stop reading the Gor series of books.

Gor (/????r/) is the fictional setting for a series of sword and planet novels written by philosophy professor John Lange, writing as John Norman. The setting was first described in the 1966 novel Tarnsman of Gor. The series is inspired by science fantasy pulp fiction works by Edgar Rice Burroughs, such as the Barsoom series. It also includes erotica and philosophy content. The Gor series repeatedly depicts men abducting and physically and sexually brutalizing women, who grow to enjoy their submissive state. According to The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction, Norman’s “sexual philosophy” is “widely detested”,[1] but the books have inspired a Gorean subculture.[2]
