BRUTAL: If these clips of Gov. DeSantis owning Charlie Crist at the Florida debate don’t end the Dem’s chances nothing will

Who is this Sushi Rinak?

Five days of deliberations is enough to suggest “reasonable doubt” to all but the most rabid partisan. The judge is clearly waiting for a decision that’s acceptable, so has made herself part of the bullying process.

This.

Why do construction workers have the best parties?

They raise the roof.

H/T internet.

Or is the theory that Hu decided to go rogue for some reason? That seems ridiculous.

Hu is a proponent of peace with the US. They cut out the bit where he was forcibly lifted from his chair. My first impression when the video was first released is why are they releasing to the west. Who is the message for? It’s pretty obvious as the video points out, it’s for us.

Once again the arrogant globalists are underestimating the Brits – outside of London.
The Brits have demonstrated that they don’t want to vote Labour, nor will they accept being forced back into the EU by a Wall Street banker who nobody voted for.
Above every other consideration, the Brits want to be allowed to be Brits.
If Farage cranks up he will be unstoppable.

Kanye/Ye is an anti-Semite.
I’m half way through the Lex podcast & there is zero doubt.
The fact that he’s got mental issues doesn’t give him a pass.
Sad.

If the jury can’t reach a unanimous decision after five days, it won’t on any future day. Not unless new evidence appears or those who are refusing to toe the line are bludgeoned into agreement.

We don’t know which way the jury is split, or how many each way. We don’t need to know.

The judge is doing a really evil thing here. She is attempting to influence the jury, not on points or directions of law, but on the need for “consensus”. This makes jurors vulnerable. She is a disgrace.

Calli yes.
It was a disgrace that she pressed ahead despite the sub judice of the Cash Cow and various other journos and pollies.
We are in a parlous condition. Our elite are out of control.

Yes it’s horrifying to think what the guy is being put thru- the process is the punishment. The Canbra Coven strikes again.

Unless Sunak desires to become a Maharaja, the laws and customs of England remain. He is simply fitting into them.

Yes it’s horrifying to think what the guy is being put thru- the process is the punishment.

Just to be devils advocate, if the offence took place it would be pretty shitty to be Britnee as well. (or even if shes convinced herself it took place)

It’s not Pell level.
The man wasn’t even in the room at the same time “J” had a vision.

Anyone ever ran across the Term double gaited?

Razey: Japan surrendered only because they were shit scared of Soviet invasion.
This is the correct take, borne out by events.
The Soviets took Sakhalin and the Kuriles [by invasion] and the fear was that they would take Hokkaido.
Whether that fear was realistic, who knows, but the Japs weren’t taking any chances.

4. The Japs had beat the Soviets in naval warfare before in 1905.

Sneak attack, Japs were falsely led to believe a Russian attack was on the cards.
That was a huge mistake by Japan, they paid the price in 1945.

As usual the ABCcess is missing a large chunk of this case.

First things first, nothing excuses killing the kid.

‘A young leader’: Mother pays tribute to son Cassius Turvey after alleged vicious bashing

Long story short the ABC reports 4 kids walking along when a carload of 20-somethings roll up and bash them, killing Cassius by bashing him with a metal pole.

Background is the chaps thought the group of kids was the ones who smashed up a car a little earlier.

This is why the police need to act to actually catch crims doing what they consider minor crimes.
If people dont see people caught and punished it leads to people trying vigilante justice instead.

Feraldton is soon to see some because of whats being euphemistically called ‘rock throwing kids”.
Gings and lobbing rocks at passing cars is in fashion among kids of no known appearance, and some of the local facebook pages are bordering on people wanting to see some bashings handed out as nothing else happens.

If it happens then Feraldton will hit the headlines as a racist hellhole… as usual.

In addition, Japan knew that the Yanks could only quickly pull a couple more A-bombs and that would have been it for a while.

The Japanese elites are much like other elites, more than happy to chuck the sheep under a bus. But the Soviets def. were an much bigger threat to them.

Regardless of what happens, Lehrmann’s life has been destroyed.
People’s lives are being destroyed in the Courts every day, sometimes unfairly.
What makes Lehrmann special, in your opinion?

SpongeBob:
Are you a Double Gaiter?
Because you’re acting like one.

If hung – that then leaves it up to the DPP whether they’ll pursue another trial.

What of the possibility that the whole thing never happened but was a sympathy ploy by Missy Higgins to cover her embarrassment about being found paralytic and naked in a vomit stained office – it the spun out of control with Ms Wilkinson and others egging her on to hurt the liberals, leading to the runaway train of a very public trial.

Could it be the Missy Higgins now breathes a sign of relief, says the whole thing has been so traumatic that she couldn’t possible bear another trial and refuses to give evidence again?

I presume they still have a jury foreman. Said person must be incompetent to let it drag on this long.

Ignore Ed’s soy definitions.
Double gaited means a horse can trot and pace.

Not necessarily your call. We’re all guests.

Kind if crazy that the last time a federal budget came in anywhere near forecast & kind of “healthy” was 2006.

The Manhattan Project was so secret that Truman as VP didn’t know about it.
So what?
Even if true, which you’ve no way of knowing, Truman was a nobody at the time.
If you’re claiming there was Total Secrecy, then:
1. You’re parroting someone else’s propaganda without admitting it
2. Everything else you say on the subject becomes questionable.

Factoid:

Everyone from the north of England is actually of Scottish/French descent.

In keeping with the rest of the trial, we should expect jury room details to leak just like Joh’s. Should be interesting.
Leaks from Joh’s Jury didn’t happen for a while, more likely the Jury Room was miked up, just like all Court Rooms and private Meeting Rooms.
If they were leaning toward Not Guilty with a couple of holdouts for Guilty, deliberations wouldn’t go on for a week.
Would Judge let them keep going when it was obvious that Guilty had no chance of ever getting up?
Very doubtful.

1. Pretty much everything you say is parroting someone else’s propaganda without admitting it.

2. The rest of what you say on any subject is at best questionable.

That the jury requested to go home early as soon as they received McCallum’s exhortation to continue their deliberations suggests they’ve had enough.

Certainly looks that way.

My pick (like everyone else’s, worth two knobs of goat poo) is that perhaps two, or three, are holding out against conviction.

Given the prosecution case is mainly based on the vibe (variations on she’s never been the same since), and considering the post-WEB accusatory ‘you’ve ruined me’ shout out at the Defendent, and ‘strong woman’ responses to the Defence Brief – I suspect that Lehrmann is considered bang to rights with 75%-80% of the jury.

Please note: this is not suggesting the lady jurors are kicking justice aside for the sisterhood ‘because weak vessel girlies’. It’s the simply the shockingly compromised case.

I missed seeing the budget stuff, did Chalmers produce the “next four surpluses” he introduced tonight speech?

Did anyone understand the budget.
The only thing I understood is greater tax compliance.
You will be knocked back with penalties and interest.
OMG – NDIS – scarp it

On hung juries, Cardinal Pell’s legal team told him, according to his memoirs, that his accuser wasn’t keen on a second trial but the DPP (advised, you will recall, by the independent and apolitical Mr John Cain) and police insisted on it.

Presumably Mr Chocolate Drop Eyes, after his 24 fumbles and changes in reciting his confected script, didn’t want to do it again. But Judd and Cain fixed that by replaying a video of his ‘evidence’ from the first trial. Gibson, by contrast, got a second crack at the other witnesses.

I’ve always suspected that the timing of the second trial influenced the result: it was 11 December and the holdouts for “not guilty” gave in because they were getting worried about their Christmas shopping.

1:

The Russian entry to the war would indeed have lessened Japanese morale, an important factor in maintaining troop capability. The Russian entry would certainly have tied up Japanese units. However, Russia’s military capabilities would not have proved decisive or even significant. In all of these areas however supporters such as Alperovitz and Ienaga do not assess the military factors.

The Allied carriers – there were several British aircraft carriers fighting in the Pacific apart from the stronger American strength – were carrying out land-strike missions against Japanese airfield and targets of value. Moreover, they were the main factor in decimating the Japanese fighter presence, which allowed more capable bomber penetration of Japanese airspace and the bomber destruction of its cities. There were no Russian carriers.

3:

In the area of amphibious assault the USSR’s capabilities were minimal. A D-Day style attack on the Kyushu peninsula, with the USSR given say one landing zone out of five, would have required close co-operation with the other friendly forces to provide the troopships and landing craft to launch the attack, for the Russians had nothing in strength of the former. Therefore it follows they could not have operated such vessels if offered them, for the operation of heavy lift shipping and the deployment of troops into small shallow-draught boats for a landing was a specialized operation that the US, Britain, and Canada had developed expertise in well before they landed on the five beaches at Normandy. Once ashore, the troops of the spearhead need immediate support in terms of their equipment, ammunition, food, accommodation provision, and so on. The language problems in all of this if the Russians had been involved would have proved not just insurmountable but disastrous if tried.

Russia had no submarine fleet of the USA’s capability which was already strangling Japan’s sea supplies and troop movements. The US fleet was doing a very capable job of this already, and when it was joined by other US naval elements even more pressure was applied. In fact, allocating separate patrol areas for the USSR would have lengthened the war: communications between the Allies would have been extended; weakened areas exposed, and Japanese abilities to exploit these increased.

4:

In none of these areas of carrier strike; amphibious landings; long-range bombing, or submarine attack was Russia capable of inflicting more than minimal damage on the Japanese Empire. The USSR’s formidable armies were land-based, and centred around infantry, armour, artillery, and close-range air support. All four of these capabilities would have needed sea support to move to a Japanese mainland attack. That support would have had to be supplied by the other Allied countries, who would already have been moving their own forces into position. While Russian land forces would have been politically welcome, by no means would their entry to the war have been decisive or even useful. In fact, as with the submarine concept, integrating the USSR presence into the Allied Pacific Order of Battle would have been a delaying factor. In fact, it is notable that initial planning for Operation Coronet was centred by the USA planners around their own forces only, even though “the British, Canadians, Australians, and French all desired to field ground forces.” Problems in equipment compatibility, supply, and in tactical doctrine were all envisaged.

The basic line seems to run as follows:
– the USA knew that Russia would join the war against Japan
– however, they were not keen for this to happen
o the reasons for this are varied:
? primarily the Americans wanted to awe the Russians by the use of the bombs to scare them off post-WWII expansion
– if it had happened, Japan would have collapsed
– the A-weapons would therefore not have been needed
– therefore the Americans are morally culpable for using them

Conclusion

What is not examined is the possibility of a more logical approach in the matter of timing in the management of the war. That is, that the Americans, as well as the many countries alongside them in the Pacific war, were concerned for combat to be brought to a halt as quickly as possible.

The involvement of the USSR as an instrument to bring about Japanese surrender is usually cited in a generalist way that takes little account of the inadequacies of the Russian forces to be useful in a conventional invasion. Indeed, their involvement would have seen many more casualties on the Allied side being received.

Here’s my take.. worth as much as some and less than others.

Jury retired and all of the men with brains and all of the women were “bot guilty”. But not the leftist men.

And they “talked around” most if not all of the women, because nothing says bullying women like leftist men.

And now we have a few holdouts among the men.

Instructive is the the wording used by the foreperson. “We have not decided beyond reasonable doubt”, s/he said (approximately).

Bruce is farked.

Is on. The cricket is on.

Either way, Twostix won’t be pleased.

Not just Twostix. The sooner Boomers start dying off perhaps the sooner superannuation (and the tax system more generally) can get looked at. While no one can be worse off as a result of changes the scope for doing anything meaningful is about zero anyway.

If you ask Top Ender nicely, he might tell you how many books he has written and had published.

Just had a call from an ALP spruiker ahead of the Victorian state election. If you don’t hear from me again, it may be due to my forthright response.

Perhaps I need some pink pajamas for effect…

32% voted for Labor trash, 13% voted for Green trash, quite a few voted for Teal trash, and smaller %s voted for Katter trash and “independent” trash..

They have no mandate for anything.
They’ve got a Mandate for whatever was in their platform, but nothing else.
94 Seats out of 151 in the House of Representatives tells you that.

The May 2022 Poll was a huge vote for the Right, and if you include the 17 National Party Seats as Right, then the win was overwhelming.
Even so, it won’t take long for them to fuck it up.

Catherine Cookson wrote a lotta books too.
Way more than Top Ender.

Did she write actual history or historical fiction? How do you know she wrote more than Top Ender? Are you just a bullshit artist? So many questions.

It costs less than $500k to build a house in Oz.

A block of land can easily be double that.

Building costs are not the problem.

Chalmers

“One of the big challenges that we have in our country and in our economy is it’s harder and harder for people to grab the opportunities of low unemployment if they can’t live near where those opportunities are,” he said.

WTF? Surely low unemployment makes it easier to find a job where you can affordably live.

Labor’s power prices promise dead: energy costs to spike 56pc

Ronald Mizen
Economics correspondent

Treasurer Jim Chalmers has flagged an aggressive regulatory crackdown in the energy markets after the budget revealed households would be whacked with a 56 per cent increase in power bills over the next two years, leaving Labor’s promise to cut household power bills by $275 is all but dead.

Resources Minister Madeleine King signed a deal late last month with the three biggest gas exporters to guarantee sufficient domestic supply, but has faced a barrage of criticism from industry groups who say record gas costs will cripple their businesses and more direct action needs to be taken.

Double hit

Higher energy costs will add 0.75 percentage points to inflation this financial year and a full 1 percentage point next year. Flooding across the eastern seaboard and Tasmania will also add to inflationary pressures with fresh fruit and vegetables prices set to rise 8 per cent in the next six months.

“The global outlook has deteriorated more sharply than expected and inflation has proved more persistent,” Treasury said in the budget. “Recent floods and another headwinds expected to weight on growth.”

‘A very tricky situation for Mr and Mrs Australia’

An extra 140,000-plus people will enter the dole queue in the months ahead, with slowing economic growth pushes unemployment from a near 50-year low 3.5 per cent today to 4.5 per cent by mid-2024.

Interest rate sensitive business investment is also expected to drop year-on-year from 6.5 per cent this year to 3.5 per cent in 2023-24.
