From Michael Smith – more proof that the A.B.C. should have been shut down thirty years ago.
Gaetz is clever.
Gaetz comes from a rich family.
Who would self fund if primaried against.
Meaning he can do what he wants for as long as he wants.
I wouldn’t confuse clever with f-off money.
It’s very peculiar indeed that killing or wounding 80% of Germany’s ground forces is considered only a relatively ‘minor contribution’ all things considered.
Is Jodie the real deal or some ALP actress like Tim the hairdresser, still can’t work it out.

For most of my life, the ABC has been all about undermining society and the economy. Just think of their push for unlimited abortion and Doogue trash’s comments about residents of Queenstown who wanted the Franklin dam. The ABC is built on theft- I have money lifted from my salary to keep these entitled marxists in the style to which they are accustomed.
Vote number 16 underway for US congress speakership. I think one Republican who voted for someone else last time voted present which I think means Gaetz and Boebert can still vote present and have McCarthy win.

I assume that 80% stat were the forces on the east. How does that discount the argument about the impact of allied bombing etc from the West?
80% of the killed or wounded was the force Germany marshaled against the Sovs, right?
Nice try.
But if you think I am going to spill the entire IP for the HAL-9000.2 here, you are sadly mistaken.

Fittingly, McCarthy is going to be elected Speaker because the Never Kevin caucus voted “present” instead of, you know, actually doing their job.
Well some good things have been happening for us of late.
-China reversing its zero covid policy.
-The diplomatic corps in the US and here starting to drop “let’s be friends hints”.
-China starting to buy our coal again (may lead to dropping onerous tarriffs?)
– China pivoting on it’s 3 red Line RE policies.
The US and China are at a stand off over Taiwan. US sails a guided missile destroyer through the Straits and next day China send 20+ fighters + others + ships to and over the median line. But the US isn’t backing down sending some good tactical kit to Taipei. Good.
As long as they don’t get hot in Asia and Putin keeps his nukes on a leash we may be ok. But all it takes is one crazy rogue to kick of a shitfest. EVERYONE is primed.

Flying home from France on a recent trip I noticed a rather haggard looking mum walking into the customs area with eight children all under age 10. Collecting their many suitcases, the nine of them entered the cramped customs area. A young customs official watched the large entourage in disbelief, ”Ma’am,” he said, ”do all these children and this luggage belong to you?” ”Yes, sir,” the lady said with a sigh, ”they’re all mine.” The customs agent began his interrogation ”Ma’am, do you have any weapons, contraband or drugs in your possession?” ”Sir,” she calmly answered, ”if I’d had any of those items, I would have used them by now.”

The stat is that 80% of German casualties occurred in the East fighting the Soviets. Allied bombing probably did have an effect but I’d like to know whether his ‘prevented from being created’ takes into account of the limited resources available to German, re oil, precious metals, rubber, etc. How are you going to field those produced items given manpower limits by ’44, and so on. Would be interesting to see the critical reviews of his work.

She didn’t go down (no pun intended) without a fight.
And there it is, McCarthy is Speaker. Let’s see how long it takes for him to go back on the deals he had to make with the dissenters to be elected.

The US is in a very very sorry stateThe U.S. Capitol Police arrested Ashli Babbitt’s mother, Micki Witthoeft, today, on the anniversary of her daughter’s death.
Poso is saying Trump had a word with Gaetz.
Of course the ‘capitol Police’ is another establishment goon squad.
Perhaps, the fight on the eastern front had to be conducted in that way, whereas the western front was much different. Both the Sovs and Germany lacked the arms needed in relative terms compared to the west. Just because the Germans wasted 80% of their manpower in the east doesn’t suggest the writer is wrong about the importance of Allied actions. I don’t think losing 80% of the manpower has as much relevance to the importance of Western actions.
Apologies if this has already been posted but this thread on Sussex v Cambridge has me laughing out loud.

It took 15 ballots, a midnight vote and a near-fistfight in the hallowed chambers of Congress, but Kevin McCarthy has now been elected Speaker of the House of Representatives.
Through a combination of cajoling, arm-twisting and finger-jabbing, the California congressman succeeded in convincing enough of the 20 holdout Republicans to support him – or at least not explicitly oppose his bid for the Speaker’s gavel.
Getting those recalcitrant Republicans on board, however, was not an easy job. Mr McCarthy has had to make promises, and key concessions, that limit his own power and increase the influence of conservatives in the House of Representatives.

So what. They also promise to serve the people of the US. He won’t do any of that either.
I wonder what his little peccadillo is? Probably not Ben and Jerrys.
So munty outs himself. munty brumfitt.
The Western Allies could not have done what they did without those German losses in the East. Had, say, the losses been half of those, the Germans would have had about 100-150 more divisions still in the field. No landing in Normandy in 1944 with that number around, nor in Italy. And, without those losses, they would have either defeated the Soviets or driven them to a stalemate.
Some of these reported deals need the House to vote on them.
Some of these reported deals need the Senate to vote on them too.
As of now, apart from the funding of primaries there is nothing done.

That’s probably how it will play but one of the conditions I read is that it will take just one vote to remove this rhino!
I wonder what his little peccadillo is? Probably not Ben and Jerrys.
Huh?
Ben and Jerry are Poofs, so is McCarthy.
This isn’t in dispute.
But is McCarthy a spook flamer?
Maybe not that many db. But it was actually a close run thing. Reading “Intrepid”, the allies used the Balkans to occupy and delay Hitler’s kick off of Barbarossa by about a month-6 weeks(they knew he was going in via Ultra) Just so that the Wehrmacht would encounter the full Russian winter slap bang as they were hyper extended deep inside the USSR. To within 30km of Moscow and very close to conquering Leningrad. 6 weeks earlier at Stalingrad might have made all the difference.
So I would add that deception and subterfuge played a yuuuuge part in the Allied victory, as much as the Soviet body count.
This O’Brien guy is just Whitewashing Bomber Command and trying to rewrite LendLease out of history.
So many Russians joined the Wehrmacht that the Soviet Union woulda collapsed without LendLease.
So why did the Americans do it?
Just read feelthebern’s post at 5.35 pm
Hmmm – have the America Firsts just shot their feet off?
But is McCarthy a spook flamer?
Well, he’s keen to give Zelenskyy whatever he asks for, so, probably that’s a Yes.

Re. the McCarthy speakership, all I can hope is that the 20 true Americans have a plan.
Devotion and Duty: Belgium’s WWI Catholic King
By Catholic News Service -January 6, 2023
Albert’s attention to his faith did not diminish in the postwar reconstruction. He reportedly once said: “Every time society has distanced itself from the Gospel, which preached humility, fraternity and peace, the people have been unhappy, because the pagan civilisation of ancient Rome, which they wanted to replace it with, is based only on pride and the abuse of force.”
The King died during a rock-climbing accident on 17 February 1934. He was 58.
“The grief of the Catholics all over the world over King Albert’s death is deeply felt because, being faithful to his country and to himself, he was also faithful to God,” said an obituary in a Catholic magazine of the time.
“Never was he accused of compromising his conscience, never was his loyalty questioned.”- – CNS
Hmmm – have the America Firsts just shot their feet off?
Time will tell.
Any hot take that includes anything Senate related, throw in the bin.
Until the House votes on their stuff, nothing is in the bank.
And who really knows about the GOP stuff.
After being embarrassed like this, does anyone think McCarthy & the GOP “leadership” will stand by the primary funding agreement?
McCarthy is as vindictive as Biden.

How would you word that? Is it flamer spook or a spook flamer? What’s best in your considered opinion?

He’s Wall Street lawyer, not a civil rights lawyers (even though his resume says he spent 18months working at one of those kind of firms).
Other than his RINO bearings, is there anything on the personality side the holdouts don’t like about McCarthy? Do you know?
Dunno.
Quite amazing how all the millions that gets spent on political analysis, no one picked McCarthy getting put through the wringer.
Shows that the original dozen hold outs could keep their mouths shut.
I look forward to hearing the story of where they all met to put this plan together.
If there were any real journos left in DC they’d been making the calls to work it all out.
and that is the meatsuit I want to inhabit.
And does the meatsuit have a little artificial dick hanging off it.
Meatsuit. Did dickless really say that? That is fu.king weird.
Well, Kevin likely got his start as a Spook by being a Flamer, so I’d say
Flamer Spook is the kosher nomenclature.
I got to that number by halving casualties and dividing by 10K which is about the size of a WW2 division. Yep, cracking Ultra was significant, as was delaying Barbarossa, as that 6 weeks probably saved Moscow from falling, and that, even without a surrender, would have made things more difficult than was the case even in 1942.

It’s all show-boating. Gaetz was part of a voting bloc in which he could organise the others to vote against McCarthy, so for the blockade to continue without him is hardly an independent decision of the other holdouts in the manner that this description suggests.

Could be showboating on top of showboating. After extracting concessions and serviette contracts already, who’s to say Gaetz wasn’t going to fold in that round anyhow?
Mar-a-Lago Puppetmaster or just master of puppet theatre? Gaetz could even admit such an intention but the Trump faction wouldn’t believe it.
It’s all bullshit.
The Motion to vacate still has to be voted on, the 20 rebels aren’t going to find another 198 votes, so it’s business as usual.
Trump was a bit player in this.
Serious people don’t call MJT on her mobile expecting it to be passed to a GOP hold-out.
(I’m assuming people saw that footage/photos).
The nayzees could never have conquered the soviet union, no matter how many hypotheticals one might choose to indulge in.
The Balkans campaign wasn’t down to the allies, it was down to the Italians’ staggering incompetence. The Ozzies’ adventures in Greece and Crete can be read about in the AWM’s PDFs. The AIF came up against the LSSAH in Greece, who reportedly treated the former’s captives well.
Given the massive strategic and tactical blunders that subsequently occurred in the first few months of Barbarossa, the six weeks delay was ultimately irrelevant. As for the southern campaign in 1942 (Case Bleu?), the nayzees massively overextended themselves. Which anyone looking at a map could have predicted – except of course, a certain Austrian corporal.
WW2 was one massive unnecessary epochal disaster – caused of course by an even more massive unnecessary disaster. Featuring a hitherto unimagined industrial slaughter of both civilians and combatants, before culminating in a personal visitation by Satan himself (twice).
The West would never have been able to recover from WW1, let alone the additional depredations wrought upon it by the encore performance 20 years later.
Yet here we are, attempting to deal (very poorly) with the consequences over a century later.
Does anyone think that if Trump had any inkling that this ambush was going to happen that he could keep his ill-disciplined trap shut.
The assumption that teepees were unique too, as opposed to popularly associated with, North American Indians is presumptuous at least.
A bunch of branches arranged in a conical formation to support each other and draping skins over it would seem to be a likely obvious, and therefore commonly repeated, solution to retreating from the elements. If invented also in Europe or Asia but abandoned as their civilisations progressed is it really fair to say it is the distinct property of American Indians?
Hunting with spears and painting caves was done in Europe Millenia ago – they just progressed beyond it. But it is still part of their heritage. Should we try to understand the development of European cultures but erase the spears, paintings, animal sacrifice, skin clothes, tribes etc because they are now deemed the property of cultures that ground to a halt in the Stone Age?
Should we demand American Indians do not depict their ancestors riding ponies because it was an innovation introduced by the Spanish.
The fact only Westerners complain about this nonsense should be a clue that it id a ridiculous cultural affectation, not an essential indisputable foundation of humanity.

The visual similarity was strong but if the dates don’t fit you must acquit.
True, no other person personifies party sycophant the he.
Harry was born in 1984 and Diana and Hewett’s affair didn’t begin until 1986.
Says who? Anyway royal sperm can travel in time.
The visual similarity was strong but if the dates don’t fit you must acquit.
It’s more than visual similarity, they’re both idiots who root other idiots.
As noted, the visual similarity is uncanny – especially the shape of the smile and the nose in profile.
I know it is probably easy enough to create an impression of familial resemblance by carefully selecting a few photos that fit and rejecting the thousands that don’t, but the similarity really seems to be in features, not shot angles.
As for the claim that Diana and Hewitt were not involved at the time Harry was born – are we to take his, and the late her’s words for it. Even at the time there would have been strong reasons to divert attention.
I personally don’t care if he was sired by the equerry. He was treated and raised as Charles’ son. In every other way (other than genetic) he was raised as such and I think genetics far less distinctive than upbringing.
Unless Hewitt had a dickless pussy-whipped gene.

Russian divisions for most of the war were typically smaller than that, most divisions were under 8k. A sizeable number only @5-6k, especially those divisions of Chuikovs 62nd army at Stalingrad, BEFORE the battle started.

Kevin McCarthy Wins – But at the Cost of the Nation
From Armstrong Economics –
“Kevin McCarthy finally won the position of the speaker to the detriment of the entire nation for we will see business as usual on Capitol Hill, which is probably needed by our model to ensure the decline and fall of the United States by 2044. Congressman Mike Rogers lunged to attack Matt Gaetz on the house floor after he refused to vote for McCarthy merely saying “Present.” Gaetz is actually fighting for something he believes in, Draining the Swamp. Rogers wants the status quo – politics as usual. Kevin McCarthy offers no change whatsoever and being from California, well I think they should just separate and declare their own republic. California is no longer the land of the free and home of the brave from the days of Ronald Reagan. They refuse even to define what is a woman.

Unmitigated tripe.
Muldoon lived alone in the Irish countryside with only a pet dog for company. One day the dog died, and Muldoon went to the parish priest and asked “Father, my dog is dead. Could ya’ be saying’ a mass for the poor creature?”
Father Patrick replied “I’m afraid not. We cannot have services for an animal in the church. But there are some Baptists down the lane, and there’s no tellin’ what they believe. Maybe they’ll do something for the creature”.
Muldoon said “I’ll go right away Father. Do ya’ think $5,000 is enough to donate to them for the service?”
Father Patrick exclaimed “Sweet Mary, Mother of Jesus! Why didn’t ya tell me the dog was Catholic!?”…………

Subliminal grooming & pedophilia at McDonald’s an accident? These people are super-sized sick.
What the hell is “subliminal pedophilia”?
I highly doubt that children can be sexually molested by an unproven and probably false visual communication method.
Colour me sceptical.

Orbán: The West has started a new “Cold War”, so Hungary must maintain relations with its enemies
Yeah I will be fine.
However I reproduce now a Hun article that doesn’t fill me with confidence that Dutton will vote against Teh Voice:
Opposition leader Peter Dutton has warned Anthony Albanese that his refusal to release more detail on the Indigenous Voice to Parliament is a “catastrophic mistake” that will doom this year’s referendum to failure.
And he has accused the Prime Minister of treating voters “like mugs” in keeping the fine print secret.
In a fiery open letter laying out 15 Voice questions he wants answered, the Opposition Leader accused the PM and Indigenous Minister Linda Burney of running a deliberate political strategy to prevent Australians making an informed decision.
Mr Dutton’s move will be seen as preparing the groundwork for the Liberal Party to formally oppose the Voice when it meets after parliament resumes early next month.
“I believe you are making a catastrophic mistake in not providing accessible, clear and complete information regarding your government’s version of the Voice, condemning it to failure and, in turn, damaging reconciliation efforts in our country,” he wrote. “Your approach will ensure a dangerous and divisive debate grounded in hearsay and misinformation.”
Liberal MPs who spoke to The Sunday Telegraph this week said the mood in the party room had hardened against the proposal in recent weeks, and it was increasingly likely they would oppose it.
In November, the National Party announced it would oppose the Voice, but Liberals have yet to make up their minds on whether to formally support or oppose it, or allow its MPs to make their own decision about their position.
In his letter, Mr Dutton told the PM: “I am committed to being constructive on the issue of reconciliation and as you are aware from our discussions the Coalition will support any sensible and practical measures to improve the lives of Indigenous Australians.
“The incidence of sexual assault, domestic violence, and health outcomes, among many other issues, in Indigenous communities — particularly in regional and remote areas — is a national disgrace. It is imperative you explain how a constitutionally enshrined Voice to Parliament will deliver tangible improvements in the lives of Indigenous Australians, which must remain the priority of Government.”
He warned a constitutionally enshrined Voice to Parliament would be a body “without precedent” and a “significant change” to how Australia is governed.
Among the questions Mr Dutton wants answered are: who will be eligible to serve on the body; who will be able to nominate for it; and will the Government clarify the definition of Aboriginality to determine who can serve on it.
He also wants to know how much it will cost, how members will be elected, chosen or appointed, and how many will be on it.
More importantly, he wants to know its functions and powers, whether it will be purely advisory, or will it have decision-making capabilities — as well as whether it can be dissolved and reconstituted in extraordinary circumstances.
“Many Australians do not understand the scope and operation of the Voice and expect comprehensive information before being asked to vote,” he said.
“Regrettably, it now appears clear your political strategy is to not provide adequate detail for Australians to make an informed decision.
“In refusing to provide basic information and answer reasonable questions on the Voice, you are treating the Australian people like mugs.”
Mr Dutton wants assurances it won’t become “just another layer of bureaucracy similar to the failed ATSIC” or “interfere with the system of Government which has kept our country a stable and peaceful democracy”.
The government, he said, “must stop playing clever and tricky political games by withholding detail and rushing the referendum. I again call on you to provide the necessary detail on how the Voice will operate.”
why did they try to cover it up that they knew this was a bioweapon release?
Oh Lord.

That McDonalds cup story is quite old, even though the commentary is recent. I remember it being talked about during the PizzaGate stuff, some time around 2018-19.
Are the cups still in circulation, or were they removed from stores? I thought they had been withdrawn.
LOL!
When do they start shopping for soft furnishings and cats?
Bother. Should have refreshed before commenting on the Maccas cups.
Just waved goodbye to the munchkins, and of course, the sun comes out!
What’s Western Australia like to live?
Blackball, From say Yanchep, draw a line to Albany. West of the line is pretty nice. Perth is a modern, relatively clean city. Northern suburbs are a Pom colony though. Perth beaches are great if that’s your thing.
Until a heap of those artists at McDonalds are done for CP, that’s just straight up Karening.
If you see filth everywhere in your mind you will see it in physical reality.
MacDonald’s doesn’t even sell pizza.
Although Ronald does have red shoes.
I don’t think Luigi the Unbelievable actually knows how the thing will function, only that he wants it. He’s going to wing it and see.

Very funny, I’m not sure I agree or disagree because I really don’t know. The Leb is calling Bitcoin an incredibly good imbecile detector.
Thought so. Those cups are pre-covid. The kiddies aren’t wearing masks.
“Mr Dutton’s move will be seen as preparing the groundwork for the Liberal Party to formally oppose the Voice when it meets after parliament resumes early next month.””
The problem with Dutton is that he’s being hindered by wet scum like Bragg and Birmingham and other remaining wets. There are still a few left in the Liberal Party, sadly the clean out on 21 May 2022 didn’t quite capture all of them.
According to the time stamps, I see posts about an hour after they are posted.
Dover, is this a feature or a bug?
If Dutton knows what’s good for him – he will hold not fold.
