If you really want the gold standard in Being Fucked Around, try insurance companies.
Mental arithmetic is basically innate for a human being of average IQ. Schools help you on your way, but if a person is retarded learning the x tables off by heart isn’t going to help. This is why you have so much trouble thinking straight, Mr Ed. I wouldn’t blame schooling.
A young bloke at the pub, Beau, who has just had his first child (a son), tells me that the bub’s mum loves reading.
I was thrilled. If the new bub’s mum reads to him in infancy, he’ll be in front of 90% of the population.
For a start, he’ll be literate, which most kids now aren’t.
Beau understands that most real learning occurs in the home, not at school. The politicisation of the school curriculum means that learning can’t now be left to teachers.

Rinehart should very publicly and immediately withdraw every cent of Hancock Prospecting sponsorship, or as I believe it is known in sporting circles as ‘free partnership cash’.
That cash – all of it – should be immediately funnelled into one of her existing projects, the RFDS.
Originally designed for use by cattle stations and remote roadhouses, the RFDS is now the primary transporter of sick and/or injured indigenous punters from ‘communities’ to hospitals in Tennant Creek, Alice Springs, Mount Isa, Darwin, parts of northern WA and in some cases Adelaide.
Naturally, the vast majority of those illnesses and injuries are caused by or derived from bulk piss sinkage – but Rinehart still does it. $15 million is another plane, plus crew wages plus infrastructure and fuel for quite some time.
The allegedly indig netty players simply cannot complain about it. The skip netty chicks have no recourse. None. None whatsoever.
Fifteen million dollars for Netty Australia is a whole pile of casserole nights, lamington drives, reverse auctions and fundraising walks, so those ungrateful bitches had better get fucking cracking.

The AFR View
Chalmers will succeed or fail in his grip on spending
The Treasurer says he wants to restore Labor’s reputation with voters for better economic management. That requires spending restraint.
Jim Chalmers’ first of many tests in next Tuesday’s budget is to get the federal government’s spending under control before another global shockwave makes his job even harder than it is. He’s starting out with another $18 billion in Labor spending promises added during the election campaign for the next four years.
Last week, the government confirmed another blowout in the National Disability Insurance Scheme. So, on Tuesday night, Dr Chalmers must show structural spending cuts beyond the routine efficiency measures if he is to keep things under control.
Dr Chalmers’ political aims are not exactly modest. As the former chief-of-staff to treasurer Wayne Swan told The Australian Financial Review’s Ron Mizen this week, he wants to change the historic narrative in voters’ minds that Labor governments are worse economic managers than the Liberals. His former boss began a decade of deficits that lasted until the Coalition’s Josh Frydenberg balanced the books in 2019. After the pandemic blew up the budget again, deficits now stretch into at least the 2030s. Dr Chalmers’ ambition to revive Labor’s economic reputation rests on making his resolve on spending clear from next Tuesday onwards.
It can’t be about preparing the ground for higher taxes
Next Tuesday’s bottom line is being flattered by a commodity price boom and reduced welfare spending that’s sliced $140 billion off deficits over the next four years. But the outlook on Tuesday is still likely to be for several years of lower growth, higher than expected inflation, higher unemployment and the smaller but entrenched deficit. Against that, Dr Chalmers will also be fighting expectations of higher spending that became unanchored during the pandemic.
It seemed to become the government’s job to throw eye-watering amounts of cash at problems while the Reserve Bank and its central bank peers created the money from thin air. After a “no one left behind” Labor election campaign, Dr Chalmers has said no to any substantial spending to relieve cost-of-living pressures from higher interest rates and energy bills. That, he correctly says, would risk stoking inflation even further. As we report, the budget will push out by a year – until 2024 – when inflation is expected to fall to within the Reserve Bank’s 2 per cent to 3 per cent target.
Dr Chalmers wants the budget to start a conversation about what the budget can afford. Two weeks ago, he was focused on the revenue side. He seemed set to make an early splash with the idea of effectively raising income tax by scrapping or shaving the stage three tax cuts due to start in mid-2024. That’s been vetoed, at least for now, by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese because of its political costs.
This week, Dr Chalmers’ most notable words were about spending. The government needed to ensure that the NDIS did the job “it is supposed to do” for the “extraordinary amount of money” being spent on it. The Labor spending monument is now forecast to cost $50 billion by 2025-2026, or $20 billion more than projected in 2017. The scheme is something any good society should have. But the government can’t allow such an uncontrolled spending blowout. It has conceded as much this week by putting it under review.
The world is grim. A long era of artificially cheap money is ending as post pandemic and wartime inflation bites hard. That’s roiling financial markets for everything, and threatening a global recession next year. Even Australia’s usual pillar of support in China has its own serious problems. The bond market’s swift despatch of UK prime minister Liz Truss shows little tolerance for bad government.
In this fragile world, as Dr Chalmers noted on Friday, things can go wrong again quickly with a commodity-dependent mid-sized economy holding a trillion-dollar debt. Dr Chalmers’ first test on Tuesday is to show that he is a serious treasurer leading a serious Labor government that is committed to the difficult task of budget repair to tackle the current inflation breakout, to rebuild the fiscal buffers and to provide a solid macro-foundation for growth. It cannot just be about preparing the ground for higher taxes to finance a structural increase in the government’s share of the economy.
Sorry to all those who fell for the the vax poison and government lies.

Aussie Bank Begins Linking Customer Transactions To Carbon Footprint
In another foretaste of potential future ‘carbon allowance’ limits, a major bank in Australia has introduced a new feature that links purchases to a customer’s carbon footprint and warns them when they are going over the average.
Australia’s Commonwealth Bank (CBA) has partnered with Cogo, a “carbon management solutions” company, to launch the new feature, which is part of CBA’s online banking platform.
The bank gives the customer the option to “pay a fee” to offset their carbon footprint, with the average listed as 1,280 kilograms, a long way from the ‘sustainable’ figure of 200 kilograms.
A person’s carbon footprint is calculated and then an ‘equivalent’ metric is show to make the customer feel guilty about it, such as “8 trees being cut”.
“By combining our rich customer data and CoGo’s industry-leading capability in measuring carbon outputs, we will be able to provide greater transparency for customers so that they can take actionable steps to reduce their environmental footprint,” CommBank Group executive Angus Sullivan said in a statement.
The bank has promised to refine the calculation down to showing how much CO2 individual purchases are responsible for.
While initially presented as a handy way for someone to track their consumption habits and the supposed impact they have on the environment, some fear that such schemes could one day become mandatory and place limits on purchases of customers who exceed their ‘carbon allowance.’
As we previously highlighted, allied with climate lockdowns, technocrats want to exploit hysteria over climate change to increase financial control over individuals.
Such a proposal was presented in the science journal Nature by four environmental “experts” as a means of reducing global carbon emissions.
Everyone would be issued with a ‘carbon allowance card’ “that would entail all adults receiving an equal tradable carbon allowance that reduces over time in line with national [carbon] targets.”
The authors make it clear that the program would be a “national mandatory policy.”
Carbon units would be “deducted from the personal budget with every payment of transport fuel, home-heating fuels and electricity bills,” and anyone going over the limit would be forced to purchase additional units in the personal carbon market from those with excess to sell.”
Of course, the wealthy would be easily able to afford the offsets, and many of them are directly invested in the trading mechanisms that the scheme would be based on.
The proposal makes clear that the means of measuring a person’s uptake of carbon units for travel would function “on the basis of the tracking the user’s movement history.”
The authors note that mass compliance with COVID-19 lockdown regulations has greased the skids for further intrusive tyranny and that, “people may be more prepared to accept the tracking and limitations related to PCAs to achieve a safer climate” as a result.

Because she (if it’s a she) has no integrity, believes the rules of her very highly-paid sinecure don’t apply to her, that she failed to disclose she was polishing a senior OMCG member while receiving high-level briefings on how OMCGs get shit tins of cash and drugs into the country:
And because most of all, she fails to see that as a problem.

After the Jan. 6 Committee finishes, maybe a GOP Congress can probe some actual ‘threats to democracy’
By Glenn H. Reynolds
Congressional Democrats have nearly wrapped up the political circus generally known as the Jan. 6 Committee.
That panel was supposed to look into the allegedly democracy-shaking events of Jan. 6, 2021. Though this has been called an “insurrection,” it was closer to a campus mob occupying the dean’s office than a coup d’etat.
The actual violence that day pales in comparison to the bloody and fiery riots that raged across American cities in 2020, with approval, tacit and otherwise, from Democratic politicians and media (who described those riots as “fiery but mostly peaceful”).
Now Americans are more concerned with skyrocketing prices, economic stagnation and the threat of a nuclear war in Europe, after some unwise comments by President Joseph Biden gave Vladmir Putin an apparent green light to invade Ukraine. (The White House staff walked them back, as they so often do with the dodderer-in-chief’s remarks, but the damage was done).
If that happens, the question is what a new Republican congressional majority should do. The answer is lots of things, but I have one suggestion: It’s time for some hearings of their own.
Meanwhile, the Justice Department has been treating Americans with political views it dislikes as domestic terrorists. Attorney General Merrick Garland, at the behest of teachers unions and the White House, sicced federal investigators on parents who spoke up at school-board meetings. Now the FBI is breaking down doors among pro-life activists, even as it turns a blind eye to widespread arson against crisis pregnancy centers. Polls indicate that a majority of Americans now view the FBI as Biden’s personal G@stapo.
How did we get to this state of affairs? Congress should be asking pointed questions, and getting answers under oath.

Joe Biden as He Prepares to Depart for Another Weekend Vacation in Delaware: Democrats “Have a Great Record” On Crime (VIDEO)
Joe Biden on Friday afternoon departed DC en route to Delaware for another vacation after making a brief stop in Dover.
According to the New York Post, since being installed in January 2021, Joe Biden has spent more than 40% of his presidency on vacation.
There are no visitor logs at Biden’s Delaware compound so the American people have no idea who Biden is meeting with off-the-record.
We have no idea who is visiting Joe Biden every weekend in Delaware.
That’s the point of the article though db: there is no such thing as right-wing conservatism these days. The right lost the culture wars, there is nothing currently existing that they want to conserve any more. Conservatism exists only on the left.
The phenomenon of the “natcon” is illusory. So-called natcons are actually just fascists, who want big government which imposes their twisted, narrow, racist version of nationalism on a country which doesn’t want it. The term “post-liberal” is also code for fascism, as its core is using the power of the state to implement its economic and social preferences against the will of the majority.
To be in the mainstream right in modern times is to be a subscriber to a radical agenda to purge society. No wonder you lot love Russia so much, your ideology is not much different to Stalinism.

Europe and the United States Go Thelma and Louise Over the Ukraine
Sorry to burden you with film references, but this iconic scene (1 min 25 Secs) from Thelma and Louise seems to capture the current zeitgeist infecting Europe and the United States:
I will leave it to you to decide if Europe is Thelma or Louise. In either case, this is a suicide pact that the United States and Europe are jointly executing without taking time to think about the ultimate consequences of their current actions.
Both the United States and Europe have expressed openly their goal of getting rid of Vladimir Putin. Putin, in their juvenile world, is the source of all suffering and all evil. Quite a powerful guy according to Western mythology. Yet–irony alert–it is the leaders in the West that are being toppled. Joe Biden’s party is facing a massive rebuke in the upcoming November election. Italy gave the Prime Minister reins to an outspoken Conservative–a clear rejection of the traditional political hacks that had been in charge in Italy. And the United Kingdom is in the grips of a record setting meltdown of its political order. For the first time since Parliament came into being (we’re talking three hundred years), the Prime Minister was forced to resign after 40 days in office. While the Tories are trying to paint lipstick on this pig of a situation and call it Marilyn Monroe, it is a total clown show. The UK will continue to give lip service to backing Ukraine, but the economic reality will dictate either cutting back support in order to maintain the readiness of the British military or gutting the British military in favor of arming Ukraine. The UK cannot do both.
Notwithstanding the economic turmoil roiling Europe, the political leaders continue to pay lip service to backing Ukraine while their ability to actually send financial and military support fades. Germany is a prime example and is arguing over whether to send tanks. Neocon Anne Appelbaum (wife of former Polish Defense Minister Sidorski) provided a firsthand report of Germany’s schizophrenia on this issue:
Like Thelma and Lousie, the United States and Europe are gunning their engines and tossing equipment willy-nilly into Ukraine. I guess they hope something sticks.

Unvaccinated Single Women Say ‘No’ To Vaccinated Single Men
Ask any single woman about the ease of dating in today’s world and they will most certainly roll their eyes and groan. As a single woman myself, I can vouch for how tough the dating climate is for every one of us. But unvaccinated, single women now have it that much harder. The reason? The decision as to whether or not they will date vaccinated men is now on the table. And I can tell you first-hand, which has nothing to do with the viability of the candidates, themselves, as rich and interesting prospects, but rather “sex” to put it bluntly.
The overriding concern that the harmful effects of this vaccine may, ultimately, enter these women once the raincoat comes off.
As these women chose to remain unvaccinated for a reason, mitigating any risk by eliminating candidates based upon vaccine-status has become their new norm. Doing so isn’t without its issues, admittedly. Qualifying single men by such a standard makes the pool in which to select from additionally small, especially if one is living in a blue state. On top of that, plenty of single men don’t shine to the notion that they aren’t being considered simply because they decided to get vaccinated. Among the most disgruntled, hostile men tend to be those who succumbed to the vaccine by force. Feeling penalized twice over for a vaccine they never wanted to begin with, many of these men don’t handle these women’s rejection well.
Guilt, annoyance, diminishment, and just plain rudeness are known to occur in relation to these women’s decision to stay committed to their particular stance. “I have been called names for stating that the vaccine is a dealbreaker for me,” said Anika Janis.
For these women, there is simply not enough information about the vaccine or its effects to warrant consideration. No one knows the ramifications or what is to come for those who took the vaccine.
Do not bring me to anger, for I am the destroyer of worlds.
Look upon my works (in Canberra), ye mighty, and despair!
No, actual conservatism exists and has a large constituency on the y-axis of the political compass. BTW, the ridiculousness of your attempt to understand conservatism without any substantive content, as if what merely mattered was ‘conserving’ rather than what in particular was identified as worth conserving is just ridiculous and very likely disingenuous. The idea that the ‘true conservative’ now is that whom wants to conserve puberty blockers for minors, terms of imprisonment for those that pray outside of abortuaries, and the like, is too absurd to be taken seriously.
You need to stop pretending that liberals haven’t used state power to advance their agenda upon the public, or that you haven’t cheered this on from your couch. You’re just crying now because conservatives in large enough numbers to matter have finally noticed your fellowtraveller’s hypocrisy here and are readying to return the favour.

discussing how to reduce premiums on renewal
As I own my house with no mortgage I told the insurance company to piss off when I received my renewal. I was confronted with a huge increase in premium.
A block the size of mine sells for $600,000.00 with or without a 1960’s home on it. So if my home was a total loss I would still get around the same money, so why insure the home?
Also I am not in the bush so no bushfire danger, and on top of the hill so no flood danger.
Contents insurance is cheap so went with that.

Err, pardon my ignorance, but who is this, Milton?
Pleasure and action make the hours seem short.
– William Shakespeare
A fleeing Taliban terrorist, desperate for water, was plodding through the Afghan desert when he saw something far off in the distance.
Hoping to find water, he hurried toward the mirage, only to find a very frail little old Jewish man standing at a small makeshift display rack – selling ties.
The Taliban terrorist asked “Do you have water?” The Jewish man replied “I have no water. Would you like to buy a tie? They are only $5”. The Taliban shouted hysterically “Idiot Infidel! I do not need such an over-priced western adornment. I spit on your ties. I need water!”
“Sorry, I have none, just ties. Pure silk, and only $5”. “Pahh! A curse on your ties! I should wrap one around your scrawny little neck and choke the life out of you but… I must conserve my energy and find water!”
“Okay” said the little old Jewish man. “It does not matter that you do not want to buy a tie from me, or that you hate me, threaten my life, and call me infidel. I will show you that I am bigger than any of that. If you continue over that hill to the east for about two miles, you will find a restaurant. It has the finest food and all the ice-cold water you need. Go in peace”.
Cursing him again, the desperate Taliban staggered away, over the hill.
Several hours later he crawled back, almost dead, and extending a $5 bill, he gasped “They won’t let me in without a tie!”

The word doesn’t have much meaning if the stuff that is supposed to be conserved doesn’t exist. Patriarchy, white supremacy, religious pre-eminence, protectionism, the nuclear family… how can you defend these things if they have already been overrun by progress? You’re standing on the ramparts of a defeated castle, looking foolish.
The true conservative now wants to defend the hard-won freedoms from the post-Depression era and civil rights movements across the West. Yes, that includes personal rights that you don’t like.
People that you call “conservatives” are not in the majority. The left won the culture wars because it won the debate among the public, leading to large majorities behind expansions of rights like suffrage, gay marriage and abortion laws.
Revel in your rebellion. Glory in your status as the underdog, db. You are among the chosen few! All it will take is forty years in the electoral wilderness while you have a think about things. Off you go then.

Thou art a fuckwit of the highest order.

Patriarchy may be lost, but there is nothing wrong with it anyway.

Patriarchy is a duty men should have never given away.

WRONG.
The true conservative wants to conserve those things that allowed those movements to exist at all.
Reynolds, historian and honorary professor in Aboriginal studies at the University of Tasmania, believes that frontier violence did amount to a war. He says the 1992 Mabo decision which recognised Indigenous land rights meant that the conflicts were fought over ownership and control of land, the traditional spoils of war.
Reynolds must be aware that the Mabo decision was based on Australia being settled, not conquered. Is he trying to destroy Mabo, perhaps to cause internal conflict that could destroy Australia as a nation?
Sure.
Let’s get to it.
Who is on your list?

Great news….Rineheart has pulled the dosh from NA.
No, but I would suggest you need to define ‘traitor’. Because if it’s the Bosi definition, which according to his own manifesto means anyone engaging in ‘economic warfare’ (which is undefined), and ‘political warfare’ (which is also undefined, but could well be as someone with a differing political view) then I do have a problem with that.
If it’s not the Bosi definition, as a former adherent I would ask you to say exactly what it means, rather than throwing about empty rhetoric.
Secondly, please explain how and by whom the death sentence will be judged. You’ve previously (and weakly) indicated this would be done by ‘the people’.
This is important, because in this day and age of ginned-up agenda-driven courts and their MSM glorifiers, compounded by muppets who believe everything they read in the paper, by your rationale people like George Pell would be rotting in the ground right now for an act that was physically impossible. Be specific if you want support.
Lastly, please explain how and by whom the sentence will be carried out. Because if it’s not by you personally – and I don’t mean pulling a lever, flicking a switch or squeezing a trigger, because anyone can do that from a distance – then that’s a job for someone else, right?
If you personally are not prepared to swing the blade, hard into the back of the neck, then it’s all just hollow bluster. If you want support, be specific in explaining exactly what it is and how you want to do it, rather than hiding behind three-word protest slogans.
By the way: ‘Death to traitors’ was the motto of the Cheka, the NKVD and SMERSH. All extremely totalitarian organisations under the Soviet Union, and I’m not sure if your alignment there is accidental.

You’re carrying water for the Labor Party again.
Your understanding of sarcasm is limited. Go back to school and try again.
Monty wants us to believe families don’t exist, that we can’t defend marriage because it doesn’t exist, biological reality of the sexes doesn’t exist, and so on, but he is very afraid that there is a constituency out there that will defend them, which is why he has to say that they don’t exist but that their very existence is evil.
Not even the slaveowners had the chutzpah to defend slavery as a ‘personal’ right.
Remember how people like Monty used to pretend the culture wars were a figment of the conservative imagination and now they tell us they won so please shut up. No, we won’t.
Oh I’m mentioning it.
I’m asking you how you would define it, and how you would accomplish it, and knowing full well what the answer will be – if provided at all.
It will be someone else’s job but with you at the head of the table, and with a backdrop of the corpses of every single person with a differing view to you* – having had your individual brilliance finally recognised by the elements of society you allow to live.

Florida Agriculture Losses from Hurricane Ian
From Armstrong Economics –
“The damages from the hurricane are still being evaluated, but preliminary estimates state that Ian caused Florida’s agriculture industry to lose up to $1.56 billion. Around five million acres of farmland were destroyed by the hurricane, 60% of which was grazing land for cattle. An additional 500,000 acres were affected but not destroyed. Florida produces around $8 billion in agricultural goods per year, so this is a significant blow to the industry.
The Sunshine State was already experiencing hardships prior to Hurricane Ian, with some estimates saying the industry would decline by a third this year due to temperatures and disease.
“The impact on Florida’s affected commodities cannot be understated, especially the heartbreaking damage to Florida citrus, an industry already facing significant challenges,” state Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried declared. Orange juice alone is expected to cause a $304 million loss. The US Department of Agriculture said that orange production was already 32% down YoY, marking the smallest harvest in eight decades.
Up to $393 million may be lost from destroyed vegetable crops, while horticultural crops may experience a $297 million decline. Cattle is expected to decline by over $220 million.
The true damage cannot be assessed until the fields dry up. None of these figures account for inflation. Natural disasters will only contribute to rising food prices and shortages.”

And exactly the same thing goes for all the floods in Australia. Agricultural production will be impacted and food prices will rise along with supply disruptions. Stock up on that canned food and dry goods now (I mean yesterday).
Aussie Bank Begins Linking Customer Transactions To Carbon Footprint
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/aussie-bank-begins-linking-customer-transactions-carbon-footprint
I don’t want support.
I am speaking about moral arguments and righteousness.
It is right, fair and just to declare mass murderers and traitors should be punished, and punished hard.
I would argue for the death penalty as a deterrent to those who may wish to go to war against us in the future.
I say it to get the sneerers shitting themselves.
Which they are.
If you are an Australian and committing economic war against this country, or serving the globalists, you are a traitor.
We need to be unafraid to use the correct names and apply them to those who are obviously doing these crimes.
If we had a media holding these people to account, or a judiciary not actively globalist, and a constitutional government, we could leave it to them.
We could leave it to those institutions who are there to protect us from such criminal behaviour.
They’ve all been long marched through.
So for us, it should be enough to make these statements, these reasonable statements without people shitting themselves because we do so.
We expect our institutions to defend the nation agaist these crimes against our civilisation and against our very lives.
And we should very loudly let these instituions know what we expect from them.
Death to traitors.
Death to genocidal mass muderers.
Only a few years ago these statements would be a given and agreed with whole heartedly by most.
Heh. Someone who knows the value of money.

Is supporting Netball Australia a 100% Tax WriteOff?
Course it is.
An Irishman took his son to the bar on his birthday to buy him his first drink. The father bought his son a stout, but he didn’t like it and didn’t want to drink it. The father decided to drink it for him and ordered an ale instead. He didn’t like it either. So, the father drank it and ordered him a cider. Lager, cider, cream ale… he didn’t like any of them, so the father drank them and ordered whiskey instead. He didn’t like any of the Irish whiskeys the father ordered, so the old man drank them and decided to give up. By the time they left the bar. The father was so drunk he could barely push his son’s stroller home.
I just see a mindset that wants the legal benefits of Australia being settled – land rights and Native title, but the high moral ground of being invaded..”Mighty Aboriginal warriors resisted to the last…we want a treaty and billions of dollars in reparations..”
How else could it be defended if there wasn’t a personal right to ownership.
Vicplod head sees anyone daring to not be subservient to the criminals in our government as “inciting rebellion”
There should be more than rebellion by now.

Good, because you’re not going to get it with screamy soapboxing about things you are neither prepared to explain, nor actually accomplish yourself.

Gina can direct her tax write-offs to more worthy and appreciative organisations.
The interwebs will be buzzing with hopefuls.
The gals have to be “flamers”, no?
I have been thinking the same for a while. The left have used government power and money to force compliance with its evil ideology dressed up as virtuous.
There is no reason why conservatives should not use government power to roll back the stupidity and evil. It is precisely the neutral stance of right governments that is abused by the left to relentlessly ratchet up the madness.
In fact it is now mandatory that right gov use its power to roll back the suicidal course the left has put us on. After that it can revert back to a neutral stance, safeguards must be put in place to prevent a return to the left’s madness.
You’re tying yourself in knots here db. The religious right don’t own the concepts of family, marriage and gender any more. No one listens to you any more on culture issues. You are as relevant as Bruce Ruxton.

Sounds more like the prelude to The Terror to me.
You’re frightened of words KD.
Sad.
Death to traitors.
Death to genocidal mass murderers.

NRL legend Paul Green had an advanced brain disease at the time of his death, doctors have revealed.
Well, a fair chunk of his “smarts” were direct lifts from other authors, so it’s hard to tell.
As they say “Choose your words carefully”.
Or in his case “Choose other people’s words carefully.”
Silly m0nty-fa still hasn’t worked out the difference between conservatism and socialism/fascism.
Conservatives wany to preserve that which is of value to society, and enables civil society to function in a cooperative, democratic, way.
Socialists of all breeds (international, national, pseudo-democratic, communists, fascists) want to gain and preserve (Note: Not conserve.) that which allows them to maintain power over (to borrow a phrase) The Lives of Others. Preserving a position of power is the means of dominating the population from a position of privilege. That is what the left does.
Except that I know who both of them are, and you’re wrong…but what’s new.
Bullshit.
Yes but that is a statement from monty.
Coupled with what you’ve just said it’s quite the paradox.
Went to every protest in D-town, which is why I was able to talk about it – along with the parasite fringe groups with separate (yet unspecified) agendas that infested them.
What I didn’t do was call everyone who put their families and livelihoods first shallow cock smokers.

They still have lamington drives.

You’re right, Ed.
I just made it up to provide support to Monty’s speculation.
From the Oz – comments allowed…
Yep
Ed Case = Numbers
They’re both invented personas.
Invented by the same person, likely to be highly closeted, but fruity.
Just listened to latest Megan Kelly podcast. The first part was about Covid Vax for kids.
CDC has just recommended the Vax be added to list of recommended Vax for kids. If adopted by states this Vax would then be required for kids to go to school.
Megan scathing about it as this in effect becomes a mandate. She rattles off some deaths due to Vax amongst young people. She mentioned 3 in NZ which did not include the case of Rory Nairn whose death inquest was last month and found to be jab caused. All NZ cases were Pfizer.
I recall an article by Frank Chung of News com au in June where he said NZ given 11 million jabs and in same time Australia 40 million. Yet we have miraculously had no Pfizzer deaths. I am no medical expert but if NZ had at least four admitted deaths from 11 million jabs you would think Australia would have had some from nearly 4 X as many jabs. Weird how lucky we have been.
Unless of course the people who approve the jabs, the TGA, are the same people supposedly monitoring the adverse effects. Might be a conflict of interest to actually admit there have been any. No problem admitting to the AZ jabs since no longer recommended.
Say No.
A paid advertisement on Fakebook for a Lord Mayoral candidate for Adelaide, Steven Kelly….

Are you a globalist or an Australian local politician?
“Dear fellow candidates are you a globalist or a Australian local politician?

Rex Patrick , Gupta Vivek, Jane Lomax-Smith for Lord Mayor 2022 and Sandy Verschoor do you know about the 2030 Agenda, The Great Reset, Build Back Better Global Agendas? Are you aligned with them, complicit ignorant or against?
A lot of text follows, ending with
“That’s why it is important for the people to know your views on this matter, are you aware about these agendas, who do you stand with are you a Globalist or an Australian Local Politician?
Waiting for your response to this matter

I know it’s paid for, but it’s been up for 24 hours and all comments are in favour of Kelly.
How is it permitted by Fakebook?
mOron is doing his best to talk around, camouflage, squirrel deflect and forgettery the simple truth; Socialism is an utterly failed totalitarian ideology and everywhere it has been implemented.History shows it results in needless deaths and imposes misery for entire populations.
mOron’s Socialism is built on lies, deceit , perversions and corruption. It’s adherents and followers are commonly sick demented losers who cannot make it in a sensible world , among sensible people. So they gravitate to the freakshow on the left.

You’re probably right. The giveaway is that KD is turning 80 next month, but was born in 1943. Suspicious, no?
Good that Gina is not a squish unlike Nelson. Nelson should resign in protest against this Marxist take over of AWM.
Yep.
Let’s break this down:
Good enough for me, pard.
Both the creations of one deeply disturbed dude.
“Huh, Trump praises vaxes and said even got a booster.”
President Trump is a very smart man.
t’s understood Netball Australia will now approach major betting companies to come on board, although sources say they are reticent, considering how influential the players have been in this episode.
On two counts a betting company should be considered a non starter; the potential for conflict of interest, so easy to miss the hoop in a tightly contested game, and since when was the gambling industry a bastion of morality? ie Star Casino comes to mind. My bet is that the bimbos that made this decision probably don’t realise if it wasn’t mining there wouldn’t be any solar panels, wind turbines or transmission lines.
My prediction, and I hope I’m wrong, is that AWM will end up like the Museum of Australia also in Canbra.
That Trump story was from last year.
Is supporting the RFDS? .
Course it is.
Is there any good reason why the various Governments shouldn’t fully fund the RFDS?
You’re tying yourself in knots here db. The religious right don’t own the concepts of family, marriage and gender any more. No one listens to you any more on culture issues. You are as relevant as Bruce Ruxton.

Knowing what you’re talking about always helps.
No one bets on Netball, but the Casinos and Betting Companies are obliged to donate a percentage to Charities/Worthwhile Causes [of their choice].
Montypox sounds quite cranky
Just the opposite, which explains your retreat to irrelevancies like the ‘ownership of the concepts’ or claims that ‘no one listens to conservatives on cultural issues anymore’. This is pretty much every tired refrain to people responding to liberalism’s manifest overreach, for instance, on the question of gender. You simply want to pretend that they don’t ‘own’ it, which is simply a indirect way of saying that you ‘own’ the concept and like Humpty Dumpty, it ‘will mean whatever you want it to mean, neither more nor less’; and of course, the ‘no one listens to you anymore bigot so shut up’ play.
A reference to Libya? Dear oh dear.
Who’s shouting? The clearest evidence that liberals fear a counter to their cultural program is this constant attempt to inculcate in their opponent the perception that they are alone, that their aims are stillborn, that there is no constituency for a defense of common sense, traditional cultural/ social values. All I have to do is look at the political compass to see that there is and that it is significant.
Don’t make me start traveloguing.
From the SMH November 2021:-
So, in a tax bill of more nearly 3 billion dollars, her tax dodge master-stroke is a $15 million sponsorship of Netty chicks?
Moron.
By all means, travelogue. Just don’t tell me about your tits.
‘Netball Australia has had the rug pulled out from under it after mining magnate Gina Rinehart ripped up a $15 million sponsorship deal on Saturday.
In a swirling fiasco, the situation has continued to deteriorate in recent days following revelations last weekend that Diamonds players had concerns about wearing a team uniform that included sponsorship branding from Rinehart’s Hancock Prospecting company.
The $15 million commercial agreement was a lifeline for the governing body, which has lost more than $7 million over the past two years, mostly due to costs associated with Super Netball.
In a statement issued on Saturday, Hancock Prospecting confirmed it had pulled its sponsorship of the sport, and its subsequent ties to Netball WA and the West Coast Fever.
“Hancock and Roy Hill were not made aware prior to the proposed partnerships, of the complexity of existing issues between Netball Australia and the Players Association. This includes the Players Association’s endeavours to gain a very substantial increase in wages during a time the sport is reeling financially, and unable to provide such an increase,” the statement read.
“Hancock and Roy Hill do not wish to add to netball’s disunity problems, and accordingly Hancock has advised Netball Australia that it has withdrawn from its proposed partnership effectively immediately,” they said.’
news.com.au
Hey….who agrees?
Traitors should be put up against a wall and shot, and the same with mass murderers.
And who thinks that in these dark times, not responding in the affirmative to my question is in your best interests?
Groogs has the stupid turned up to 11 today.
A rotten apple?
‘Hancock and Roy Hill have advised Netball Australia and Netball WA respectively, that it will instead provide a four-month sponsorship should they and their players wish to accept it, to continue funding the athletes and to help Netball as it arranges alternative funding and sponsorships,’ the company said.
In a 1984 television interview, Mr Hancock made a shocking statement about Indigenous Australians.
‘The ones that are no good to themselves and can’t accept things, the half-castes -and this is where most of the trouble comes,’ Mr Hancock said in the 1984 documentary film Couldn’t Be Fairer.
‘I would dope the water up so that they were sterile and would breed themselves out in future and that would solve the problem.’
Mr Hancock died in 1992 at the age of 82, and said Indigenous Australians who had been ‘assimilated’ should be left alone.
‘Those that have been assimilated into, you know, earning good living or earning wages amongst the civilised areas,’ he said.
‘Those that have been accepted into society and they have accepted society and can handle society, I’d leave them well alone.’
No one. Fuck off and make me a word salad.
Or netball hoops.
Whiny, virtue-screaming ex-captains with vested interests most certainly is a ‘complexity’.
This is gold.
Or more accurately, several billion tonnes of mined iron ore.
That didn’t sound like ‘I don’t want support’.
Explain yourself. Please use specifics. The post at 1.06 refers.
If you force someone to take something that may kill them, it’s attempted murder.
If that one person dies, it’s murder.
If more than one die, it’s mass murder.
If 600 extra deaths above the average are now dying since the jabs came out….each week…….In Australia alone, is that still mass murder, or is it Genocide,…… maybe an act of war?
Remember, according to Plod head in Darwin, you have no right to either have an opinion or attempt to work it out.
That’s inciting rebellion, doncha know!

Deadset crooks and frauds. They should be adorning lamposts;
https://usrtk.org/covid-19-origins/timeline-the-proximal-origin-of-sars-cov-2/
“The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2”is one of the most influential scientific articles in history.
In February 2020 — about a month before a pandemic had been declared — five top virologists huddled to examine aspects of a rapidly emerging coronavirus that seemed primed to infect human cells. (The furin cleavage site kept one virologist up all night.) A few days later, they concluded the virus had not been engineered. In March, their conclusions were published in Nature Medicine.
“We do not believe that any type of laboratory-based scenario is plausible,” the article read.
The article assured much of the media, Washington and the broader infectious disease community that there was no need to scrutinize the labs at the pandemic’s epicenter in Wuhan, China. The Wuhan Institute of Virology is well known for research on SARS-like coronaviruses, including gain-of-function research. Though a “correspondence” and not a formal paper, the article has been cited in the press 2,127 times.
It took 15 months and a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit to reveal that each of the five authors had expressed private concerns about engineering or the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s store of novel coronaviruses.
Also troubling: A confidential teleconference organized by Wellcome Trust Director Jeremy Farrar had framed early drafts of the article. But several scientists on the call had undisclosed conflicts of interest.
Two authors were later found to have collaborated with the Wuhan lab or its American partner, EcoHealth Alliance. Anothervirologist who shaped the article’s central ideas without credit is synonymous with controversial viral engineering.
Also present on the call for “advice and leadership” but not publicly credited: director of the National Institutes of Health Francis Collins and director of the NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Anthony Fauci. NIAID had funded the Wuhan Institute of Virology — a fact Fauci had been alerted to by late January.
Victoria are 6/200 against WA in the one-dayer.
Later today, Straya will be up against NZ in the T20 World Cup.
I do hope Pat Cummins got hold of Gina Rinehart’s message* about sport being no place for political agendas, very loud and very clear.
*Sledgehammer to the noggin.
Rug pulled?
No, no.
Netty Straya stood in the middle of the polyester rug, splashed petrol all around the edge, then started flicking lit matches everywhere.
Wooooof!!
The rest of that piece is telling.
Basically Gina is saying she was tipping money in, firstly to bail Netty out of debt and, secondly, to establish the sport on a firm footing.
What was becoming obvious was that the players wanted to snavel the cash for massive pay rises because … yo’ worth it grrrrl.
Anyone who believes that family, marriage and gender are “concepts” people can “own” rather than means by which God orders human life for the good is headed to a dark place. Once God’s order is rejected, they will inevitably seek to impose their own.
From fossil fuels?
Nooo. They would never.

Or just a random shooting gallery?
No.
Fuck off.
Your wet dream about a purge of the St Ruth Recalcitrants is pathetic.
I have no fear about a knock on the door from the Kenn Worth Road Ranger Deathsquad.
Because it is never happening.
Continue shouting at the clouds though, champ.
It’s fun to watch.
He that is giddy thinks that the world turns round.
– William Shakespeare
That means that a lot of us are giddy. Maybe the Bard should have studied more science just like our “Pollies’ today.
A couple of short fat blokes coming down the driveway, wheezing in the heat.
‘Geez mate. Any cows at home? You wouldn’t happen to have a hearty Aussie schnitzel would ya? Before your execution.’
Great news….Rinehart has pulled the dosh from NA.
All red-blooded males and lezzos get ready for the upcoming netballers calendar and photo shoots in People / Picture magazines.
Gotta pay for the carbon neutral travel to matches.

Joe Biden Struggles with 2024 Question During Live Broadcast – 27 secs
Such happy reading with these well posted posts with lots of vitriol. What a great site of enlightenment and libertarianism…………………………………..In a fish bowl.
Time for a joke then.
Two old men are sat on a bench at the park. A young, fit girl runs past in a sports bra and a tiny pair of shorts. One of the men smiles and this brings the girl over. “Why are you staring at me and grinning, you pervert?” she says. The old man sweetly replies “My dear I’m not smiling at you, I’m smiling at the thought that no matter how bad the world gets, there will always be young, pretty girls in the summer to cheer up a lonely old man”. The girl replies “Aww you sweet old man!” leans in and gives him a kiss on the cheek and jogs on. The old man turns to his friend and says “Two-nil to me and now your turn”.
Ha ha.
The cowards spit, and the rest stay quiet………
1930’s Germany springs to mind yet again.

Even easier.
But not now……..
BOO!
Thorpe even has the fawning leftist lapdogs of Lee Rhiannon at the Sydney Morning Herald coming after her. They have an exclusive (I wonder who leaked it) on Thorpe repeatedly pressing Home Affairs about the case of a Rebels member who was under threat of deportation.
