Indeed it is. It deserves wide distribution.

Truth bomb incoming.

A familiar name popped up on the link, Juanita Broadrick. One of those cases where “Believe all women” was too inconvenient to apply.

Piers omitted the bit about winning the Aston byelection. Whatever the Lieborals are selling, people ain’t buying.

So what’s happened to the voters who gave Abbott a massive ten seat change to get 30 seats overall?
They voted for Abbott for real change, especially against global warming fantasies and carbon taxes.

Those voters are still out there. Disenchanted, voting Labor holding their noses because the Liberals are so wet on energy and gender matters, the voters are drifting off to alternatives where they can.

If Dutton had been stronger, a change of sorts, even despite his unappealing presence (face it, he looks thuggish and this while not his fault is not great for elections), he would have got over the line in the Aston by-election. Instead he’s put forward Labor Lite and has hardly any media profile since taking over from Morrison. Where’s the dynamism one might expect from a major Opposition Party? The Libs as we often lament here give no hint of changing back to anything like Abbott’s policies. Maybe the time has come for a realignment of the right into a different set of coalitions? Do it soon, before the wretched Voice becomes entrenched in our Constitution.

How could things be worse than they are now for the Libs? Won’t someone tell them?
Half of the electorate are screaming out for something different, with energy at the core of it.

Within no time, Russian Artillery barrages were called in on the 2nd Battalions precarious position and just like that the DPR militia was stuck, pinned by their Russian allies in a pocket of death, — the entire DPR 2nd battalion was wiped out by friendly fire.

Last night I watched a video which stated at least half of Russian aircraft losses were due to friendly fire. They really need to lay off the vodka.

Pre judging is not a good look of an open mind!

I have heard and read enough of Piers Akerman over the years to know exactly what sort of person he is. I am sure he purrs like a kitten when he’s among friends who think the same way he does, that is unsurprising. In the presence of someone like me who think he’s a dickhead and would say so to his face, the bile would rise up quickly in him.

Call it a Federal Voice rather than a Constitutional Voice and sell it hard on the view that it will operate well at the State level as well as having a right to represent a Federal view to Federal Parliament.

Why can’t they start to do some thinking on these issues rather than blindly flail and follow?

LOL, someone in the US is willing to buy my absolutely foolproof system to beat the casinos.

I just don’t understand the Liberal party, they are clearly as dumb as a bag of hammer handles, they can’t win by being more Labor than Labor.

Actually…
The problem is that the Libs of today all start in the same sausage factory as the Labs and Greens. They get the same indoctrination that ‘nice people think and say these things so they are trying to say ‘We are nice people too!! Let us into the nice people’s club. Pretty please?’

But the nice people’s club is the in-crowd of the whole educated CLASS. Being a class enemy of your own class is utterly demoralising. They try again and again chanting the formulas for acceptance but the door remains shut.

Our generation at least got taught a bit of classical liberalism (like the lefties did). We started from a very obvious set of shared values and the ‘educated people’s class’ had relatively unstupid people on both sides. (Monts, take a bow).

Then the feminists allowed the Marxists and rad-fem-seps to set doctrine and they privileged emotional identity-stories over truth and justice, and after twenty-odd years of purity spiralling, the Left has self-lobotomised (hi again, Monts).

So yes, the Libs are hopeless. They are the ‘gilded youths that line the barber’s wall; their eyes are dull, their heads are flat, they have no brains at all.’

our politicians over here have open mistresses and in France, you have the head of state who married his high school teacher

She was/is a weirdo and he was/is a cuck.

. How about Berlusconi in Italy who married a 32-year-old?

So what? That’s normal. If you have a problem with it or equate it with the above mentioned example, *you* have the problem.

Trump Indictment Is a Perversion of Campaign-Finance Law

If a candidate has to pay for his own clothes, surely hush money is likewise a personal expense.

In choosing to convene a grand jury to pursue the Donald Trump-Stormy Daniels affair, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg faced two big problems—one political, one legal. The indictment of Mr. Trump will address the first, likely at the expense of the second.

To recap how we got here: Ms. Daniels, a pornographic film performer, alleges she had a fling with Mr. Trump in 2006, nearly a decade before he entered the Republican primary for president. Once Mr. Trump became a candidate, Ms. Daniels began demanding money in exchange for her silence. Mr. Trump obliged, and his company, the Trump Organization, sent $130,000 to Ms. Daniels through Mr. Trump’s personal lawyer, Michael Cohen. The expense was apparently recorded on the company books as “legal fees,” which the indictment is expected to allege was a falsification of business records.

Thus the payments were “for the purpose of influencing” a federal election—and, since corporate contributions to a campaign for federal office are illegal, the case is closed.

Not so fast.

The Supreme Court has repeatedly held that because campaign-finance laws infringe on core First Amendment activity, they can’t be dependent on vague, subjective interpretations. Accordingly, the clause “for the purpose of influencing any federal election” is an objective standard. As another section of the statute states, an obligation isn’t a campaign expenditure if it exists “irrespective” of the campaign. In other words, campaign funds pay for campaigning—the campaign manager’s salary, ads, campaign travel, venues for rallies, polling and so on. They don’t pay for personal expenses not created by the act of campaigning, even if the candidate intends for them to benefit the campaign.

If Mr. Bragg is somehow able to make these charges stick, it will betray fundamental tenets of campaign-finance law and those who believe in the rule of law.

Mr. Smith is chairman of the Institute for Free Speech and a law professor at Capital University in Columbus, Ohio. He served as chairman of the Federal Election Commission in 2004.

Brief change of tangent. There was media during the last week or so about apparently the biggest Australian arms export deal ever in the offing, being producing Rheinmetal Boxer AFV’s for the German army in the new Brisbane factory. ‘Hooray’, but surely this will just mean redirecting production to Germany instead of ourselves. I also don’t understand the relative economics of this, it can’t possibly be cheaper to build them here than Germany, surely? Speed and volume of supply perhaps, realising they need to rapidly replace older equipment donated to Ukraine?

It looks like this indictment of Trump is precisely what Socrates has forecast.

‘Also, please give me money. Socrates predicts that you will.’

Every time this magical Nostradamus computer’s name pops up, I am reminded of the pronunciation used in Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure:

‘Woooah. So – crates.’

TUCKER CARLSON: Leaders turned the American legal system against their political opponents

He calls this the new standard of justice

The defining principle of the American legal system, really of American life, the principle that has kept us free, is equal justice — and the principle is fairly simple. No matter what you look like or who your parents were or what your politics might be, the law treats you exactly the same way as it would any other American. In this country, justice is blind.

Now, that’s a lofty standard, but because Americans have long believed in fairness and because most of the people in charge of administering that system have behaved in good faith, this country has, for the most part, lived up to its core ideal for 250 years, making it the greatest country in the world, but the populist surge of 2016 changed everything.

According to new reporting from Julie Kelly, the FBI’s counterterrorism division just arrested a grandmother in the state of Virginia on four misdemeanors this week.

What exactly did she do?

She entered the Capitol with her elderly mother for a total of 15 minutes on January 6. She hurt no one. She destroyed nothing. She just stood there and yet, at the very same time, during the very same week, none of the transgender thugs who invaded the Tennessee State House yesterday have been rounded up by the FBI counter-terror division and, of course, they won’t be. Joe Biden just honored them with a trans day of visibility.

So, what we’re watching here unmistakably is bigger than Donald Trump, but we’re going to begin tonight with the latest on his case, and we’re doing that because he is — and this is not at all incidental to his prosecution — he is the leading Republican candidate for president.

As Effort To ‘Get Trump’ Ramps Up, Are Leaks From Bragg’s Grand Jury a Crime?

The protection of secrecy is as applicable to President Trump as it is to anyone else.

ALAN DERSHOWITZ

It is likely that a serious felony has been committed right under District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s nose and he is not investigating it. Under New York law, it is a felony to leak confidential grand jury information, such as whether the jurors voted to indict. The protection of secrecy is as applicable to President Trump as it is to anyone else.

If Mr. Trump was motivated in part by his desire to protect his wife, children, and business interests from harmful disclosures, that would not constitute the crime of making an undisclosed campaign contribution. So this too is a stretch.

It is a fundamental tenet of American law that criminal law should not be stretched to fit targeted defendants. Criminal statutes must be clear and unambiguous. If there is any doubt, the age-old concept of “lenity” requires that these doubts be resolved in favor of the defendant.

Thomas Jefferson once quipped that for a criminal statute to be valid, it must be so clear that a reasonable person could understand it if he read it “while running.” A nice image!

A weak, questionable, unprecedented, and novel stitching together of two inapplicable statutes, will not, and should not, satisfy the American public that this is not a partisan targeting of a political opponent.

Mr. Dershowitz is professor emeritus at Harvard Law School. He has written 52 books, more than 1,000 articles & has successfully litigated hundreds of cases, half of them Pro Bono

I’d call the Libs imploding so badly that they ended up losing Josh Frydenberg’s seat rather explosive, and the damage was all to the fossil fuel dead enders.

Speaking of fossil fuel “dead enders”, have you gone fully renewable in your home, and your slum, sorry, rental properties? Solar panels on the roof, battery in the yard, EV in the garage? Are your computer and server fully renewable? Have you cut a deal with a renewable provider that all of your users can receive fully renewable power when playing fantasy football?

It’s for the planet, and if you have not done so, you are even more hypocritical (that’s not praise) than the usual fascist leftard.

The Libs lost their blue ribbon Federal seats to the Teals who are just small-l liberals plus climate change realism.

I live and vote in Wentworth, M0nty Black Shirt, and I know a thing or two about why Teals romped it home here and in other wealthy electorates. Money, money, and more money, to put it bluntly. Lotsa luverley climate change money for wealthy investors and people hoodwinked by woman-good stuff.

Hey Makka, your thoughts on Mark Latham’s recent comments to Alex Greenwich? You know, the ones he was universally loathed and ridiculed for, even by Pauline Hanson?

Yet impervious to nuclear energy as a concept, ignorant of the environmental unsustainability of solar panels and lacking competence in statistical analysis or honesty in presenting data.

Hey mOron, Latham says it all.

Well, old mate Behyad is wrong. The big factor is political. It depends on how much the government is willing to throw at the problem they’ve created, to hide their culpability.

ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE

From Stanford to Israel, Mobocracy Triumphs Over Deliberation

The tyranny of an emotive mob is winning.

The very notion of republican self-governance, which has been a core tenet of Western civilization since the demise of the great monarchs of Europe, depends upon the willingness of citizens to debate and deliberate the most pressing issues of society.

Sadly, high-profile recent examples, from the tony terrain of Stanford University all the way to the raucous streets of Tel Aviv, Israel, underscore the extent to which Western societies have given up on reasoned deliberation and capitulated to mobocracy.

Where this civilizational decline ultimately ends is anyone’s guess.

Earlier this month, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit Judge Kyle Duncan was relentlessly heckled and successfully shouted down by a frothing mob of mini-Robespierre jackals who call themselves Stanford Law School students. The mob was simultaneously juvenile and outright vile, with one student unconscionably yelling to the esteemed jurist, “We hope your daughters get raped!” Even more galling, “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” Associate Dean Tirien Steinbach finally rose up upon the judge’s plea to restore order … and, in prepared remarks, sided with the protesters and ludicrously asked whether the “juice” (of Judge Duncan’s planned remarks) was worth the “squeeze” of the alleged “harm” to the pampered brat students that Duncan’s mere presence caused. (Steinbach has since been placed on administrative leave by Dean Jenny Martinez, although the culpable students have tragically escaped thus far with impunity.)

The tyranny of an emotive mob, in short, yet again won the day (at least for now).

An old lawyer maxim goes:

“If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts. If you have the law on your side, pound the law. If you have neither on your side, pound the table.”

Left-wing activists increasingly find neither the facts nor the law on their side, but they have certainly become proficient at pounding the table.

Normal people find it repulsive but they don’t use it as an opportunity to express contempt and hatred towards a group of people. When Dawkins wrote The God Delusion, the very title suggesting religious people were psychotic, it didn’t help his arguments. When the philosopher Dennett suggested atheists should be described as brights, with a clear implication that theists were dulls, that didn’t go over well either. Hurling insults at people who do not fit into the normal category is not normal behavior. From a PR perspective it is stupid.

Worst default wave since global financial crisis

Rating agency Standard & Poor’s is forecasting that the US rate of business failures will double by the end of this year.

Christopher JoyeColumnist

Our long-projected global default cycle has arrived.

Standard & Poor’s reports that global corporate defaults in the year to date were the highest since the global financial crisis in 2009. The rating agency finds that nearly three-quarters of these defaults originated from the US. In fact, US corporate defaults are running at 2.5 times their level 12 months ago.

The pain is likely to be particularly acute in the sub-investment grade (or “junk”) high-yield debt market dominated by zombie companies that cannot get finance from conventional banks.

In Australia, we are seeing cracks emerging everywhere.

Recently, this newspaper has covered the collapse of Tribe Brewing, Scott’s Refrigerated Logistics, coal miner Genuity Group, mining services company Rivet and property developers.

Anecdotally, there are reports of commercial property deals falling over weekly as investors come to understand it is nuts to buy a commercial property unless it pays you a 4 per cent to 5 per cent risk premium above 4.5 per cent term deposit rates. That in turn implies many commercial properties will suffer price declines of 20 to 40 per cent.

Business closures, loan arrears rise

Our economists carefully analysed Australia’s corporate insolvency data published by ASIC, and it shows a dramatic increase in businesses going bust. During the pandemic, as few as 250 companies would fold each month.

When we dive into the arrears rates reported in non-bank lenders’ RMBS deals, there is a very sharp increase in the share of borrowers falling one month or more behind on their repayments. This 30 days arrears rate looks to have appreciated by some 50 to 100 per cent from 2022 levels.

A long way to go

Here it is important to note that bond and equity markets are assuming that global central banks stop lifting rates in the coming months, then initiate cuts later this year. This presupposes, therefore, that core inflation rates around the world will straight-line down to these central banks’ legislated, circa 2 per cent targets.

That argues in favour of the RBA and other central banks holding interest rates higher for longer given tighter monetary policy will be required to crush core inflation back to their targets. It also raises the risk that after pausing for a period, central banks may have to increase rates even further to get these price pressures under control.

New Jersey factory imports cocaine plant that flavors Coca-Cola thanks to DEA arrangement

Coca-Cola gets its iconic taste thanks in part to a chemical processing factory in a sleepy New Jersey neighborhood that has the country’s only license to import the plant used to make cocaine.

Importing coca leaves was banned in 1921, but the legislation left an exemption for Maywood Chemical Works, which ran the factory before Stepan Company bought the site in 1959.

Also the CPI components and their respective weightings within the computation are doctored on a regular basis by Govts and their statistic agencies to ensure the most downward pressure is applied on the finally excreted number coming out the end- that gets blasted in breathless headlines across the nation.

Post-Indictment Poll Has Trump Surging to Biggest Lead Ever Over DeSantis

I wrote on Thursday about a Fox poll that came out just before former President Donald Trump was indicted, but after the reports about it possibly happening had come out.

It showed that Trump was racing to a big lead. He had already been gaining in the numbers since January, but the news of the possibility of the indictment may have added even more to his lead, with Republicans likely coalescing behind him in the face of political targeting. The Fox poll found he was leading Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis by 30 points, 54 to 24 percent. DeSantis has not formally declared a run yet, although he has been making remarks like a guy who would be running.

So, what about polls after the election? What has been the effect of the announcement that the indictment is real?

A new Yahoo/YouGov poll shows that he’s now increased his lead over their prior poll numbers, surging to his largest-ever lead over DeSantis in their poll. They note that in February, DeSantis was leading in the poll, 45 to 41 percent. Then in a poll conducted two weeks ago, in a head-to-head matchup with DeSantis among registered Republicans or Republican-leaning independents, Yahoo had it at 47 to 39 percent, with Trump up by 18.

Everyone else isn’t even close and is just in single digits.

Trump’s favorable rating has also gone up with Republicans by 5 points, from 74 to 79 percent.

How hypocritical of you to make that a pejorative as you stand on your soapbox.

I can sort of understand the cowards, breaking with the consensus can be difficult for committed collectivists. Those who use children as a weapon in a culture war are beneath contempt.
