Maui Suffers from America-Last Policies
“The fires in Maui claimed the lives of at least 99 people. Over a thousand people are still missing as crews rush to identify remains. This was the deadliest wildfire on US soil in over 100 years. There is a lot of speculation and conspiracy theories surrounding the fires, but one proven conspiracy is that the US government is putting America last.
On Sunday, the Federal Emergency Management Agency said it was too soon to calculate the damages, but a low estimate is $6 billion. The President of the United States made sure to address his main priority by sending a $200 million aid package to Ukraine this week. “Air defense, anti-armor, and munitions will keep the Ukrainian armed forces in the fight to defend their country’s sovereignty, territory, and people,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced on Monday as search teams continued to search Maui for any survivors. This is chump change for Ukraine as the White House is seeking hundreds of billions in extra funds.
Joe Biden was spotted on the beaches of Delaware this weekend as Hawaii burned down. He refused to comment on the situation and did not let it interrupt his vacation. Biden finally took to X (formerly Twitter) to address the crisis. “We’re laser-focused on getting aid to survivors, including Critical Needs Assistance: a one-time $700 payment per household offering relief during an unimaginable difficult time. We have the staff on the ground dedicated to helping survivors navigate the registration process.”
So Hawaii received $1.8 million in aid. What is $700 going to do for the people who lost everything and perhaps everyone? In comparison, a foreign nation received $200 million this week. We are witnessing what happens when the government pivots from America-First to America-Last policies.”

All good Vicki. I have every confidence that Civil Liberties Australia will be all over this. After all, they have a stellar record of fighting for our rights.
What’s more, the AG dept says that “The right to freedom of opinion is the right to hold opinions without interference, and cannot be subject to any exception or restriction. The right to freedom of expression extends to any medium, including written and oral communications, the media, public protest, broadcasting, artistic works and commercial advertising.”
Oh wait…..they also say “The right is not absolute. It carries with it special responsibilities, and may be restricted on several grounds. For example, restrictions could relate to filtering access to certain internet sites, the urging of violence or the classification of artistic material.”
Anyway, don’t worry. Top men are in charge here and if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear. Government is your friend and works for the betterment of all of us.

How Australia’s jet-setting PM is off on another series of overseas tours –

Wow. Breaking news on Sharri Markson’s Sky News show, Taiwan’s first female president Tsai Ing-wen wanted to attend tonight’s soccer world cup seni-final in Sydney and support Australia’s Matildas against Spain.
But the president says cryptically through an embassy spokesman that the Australian government knows why Tsai Ing-wen won’t be attending.
In other words, the Albanese regime has caved into pressure from the Chinese Communist party to snub the Taiwanese president because Elbow wants to be best mates with Emperor Xi.
Disgraceful.
And a great get by Markson, which will be front page news in tomorrow’s papers.

Lesbian speed-dating event canceled for ‘transphobia’
A venue manager suggested the meet-up group fell short on “inclusivity”
A weekly speed-dating event created by and for lesbians in the UK has been axed after organizers were accused of transphobia, with activists insisting transgender women should be allowed to participate.
The row erupted last week after event organizer Jenny Watson shared rules for the get-togethers online, saying the meetings were limited to “adult human females” only, as was first reported by the Daily Mail.
“If you are male, please refrain from coming to the events, you are not a lesbian,” she added.
Members of a local activist group in London proceeded to report Watson’s comments to her employer, deeming them “transphobic,” according to the Mail.
In an interview with GB News Pundit Andrew Doyle, organizers also said a manager for a pub that hosted the speed-dating events worked with opponents to have them terminate
The manager was eventually added to an activist group chat, where they vowed to do all in their power to have the gatherings canceled. In one message shared by Watson, they went on to propose “replacing it with an in-house speed set of dating nights with inclusivity at its heart.”
Another organizer, Kate Barker of LGB Alliance – a group which claims to “promote the rights of lesbians, bisexuals and gay men, as recognised by biological sex” – said she was told the move was a “commercial decision,” but argued the chat messages suggest otherwise.
“To find out that somebody from the organization that actually owns the pub is in that group, making it their mission to shut down an event held by their own employer, it’s a really peculiar situation,” Barker added. “To be a lesbian and have a women-only event is seen to be bigoted and exclusionary.”
“He’s the nation’s only hope.”
My impression too, I like him, I’d vote for him. Apparently, like Meloni in Italy, he’s popular among the young.
Western Weapons Captured in Ukraine Displayed at Army-2023 Military Expo in Russia
A number of Western armored vehicles that were provided to the Kiev regime by its foreign sponsors have managed to make it through the Russian defensive lines all the way to Moscow, though probably not the way NATO military strategists hoped.
Over 800 types of Western and Ukrainian weaponry and military vehicles captured by Russian forces in the Ukrainian conflict zone have been put on display during the ARMY-2023 military expo that launched in Kubinka, Moscow Region, this week.
The trophies featured at this exhibition, which takes place at Patriot Park, include pieces of military hardware such as an AMX-10RCR armored fighting vehicle from France, a CV90 infantry combat vehicle from Sweden, a Bushmaster protected mobility vehicle from Australia and even a XA-180 Pasi armored personnel carrier from Finland.
These weapons were originally supplied to Kiev by its foreign backers, who hoped that the Ukrainian troops would use these weapons to defeat Russian forces. Instead, all this gear does now is help satisfy the curiosity of the people visiting the exhibition.
Feel free to peruse this photo gallery by Sputnik that contains images of some of these exhibits.
I’d abolish the Labor Party and the Greens.

Joyce, in my opinion, is one of the world’s best airline CEOs, but he’s rapidly torching his corporate credibility by trying to pick winners in politics.
Joyce needs to be careful or he’ll wind up being just another unemployable corporate smartarse.

Let’s not stuff around. The left has learned nothing in the past 30 years.

Is It Time to Ban Electric Vehicles?
The New York Fire Department recently reported that so far this year there have been 108 lithium-ion battery fires in New York City, which have injured 66 people and killed 13.
According to FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanagh, “There is not a small amount of fire, it (the vehicle) literally explodes.” The resulting fire is “very difficult to extinguish and so it is particularly dangerous.”
Last year there were more than 200 fires from batteries from e-bikes, EVs and other devices.
A fire ignited at an e-bike shop and killed four people near midnight on the morning of June 20. Two individuals were left in critical condition. The fire commissioner has warned New Yorkers that such devices could be very dangerous and typically explode in such a way that renders escape impossible.
FDNY also reports that in just three years, lithium-ion battery fires have surpassed those started by cooking and smoking as the most common causes of fatal fires in New York City.
It’s happening all over the country as these blazes have become commonplace. Cars and e-bikes are randomly blowing up in driveways and garages.
Now let’s be honest: 13 deaths in a city the size of New York with some 8 million people is hardly an epidemic.
Regulations should always be based on a cost versus benefit calculation, or there would be no cars at all.
And yet the same scaremongers on the left who have zero tolerance and want bans for small risks when it comes to everything from swimming pool diving boards, gas stoves, plastic straws, vaping, fireworks and so on, have a surprisingly high pain threshold when it comes to people dying or suffering critical injured from “green” electric battery fires.
Or consider this:
In 1965, Ralph Nader almost single-handedly helped ban the popular Chevrolet Corvair — famous for its engine placed in the back trunk of the car. Nader’s bestselling shock book “Unsafe at Any Speed” declared the car was deadly. But there was no real evidence of that claim, and to this day there are no reliable statistics on how many passengers — if any — died in Corvairs from rear-end accidents.
What is indisputable is that EVs will cause far more deaths than Corvairs ever did.
One other example: There have been more fatalities in just one city in a single year from lithium-ion batteries in cars than all the people who died from the 1979 Three Mile Island nuclear plant accident — which was zero.
Yet, after the accident, thanks to the environmentalists’ fear campaign (with the help of the blockbuster anti-nuke movie “The China Syndrome”), no domestic nuclear plants were built for three decades. That is despite the fact that nuclear plants emit no greenhouse gases.
But with EVs, the greens are pushing aside any concerns about the collateral damage of deaths and injuries. Biden wants to mandate that nearly ALL new cars sold in the U.S. be EVs by 2032. If that happens, many thousands of Americans may die or will be inured from electric vehicle fires.
All this is especially hypocritical because once upon a time the left’s mantra was “no trading blood for oil.”
Now they are willing to trade blood in exchange for getting Americans to stop using oil.
An irony of all this is that because of all the energy needed to produce windmills, solar panels and electric batteries, new studies are showing that the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions to this “net zero” transition is close to zero.
It turns out, green energy causes some pollution, too.
I wouldn’t be surprised but it may be Marx though not Groucho.

Democrats Denied Election Results 150+ Times Before Trump Was Indicted for Challenging Election
Although a Georgia grand jury indicted former President Donald Trump on Monday for challenging the 2020 election result, Democrats have refused to accept the results of elections they lost for decades.
As Breitbart News reported, more than 150 examples show Democrats denying election results, including President Joe Biden; two-time failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton; House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY); Reps. Barbara Lee (D-CA), Maxine Waters (D-CA), and Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX); and failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams.

In fact, every single Democrat president since 1977 has questioned the legitimacy of U.S. elections, according to the Republican National Committee.
In both 2013 and 2016, Biden claimed that Al Gore won the 2000 presidential election. In May 2019, Biden said he “absolutely agrees” that Trump was an “illegitimate president.” Biden cast doubt on the legitimacy of the 2022 midterms this year.

Looking at m0nty’s “contributions”(if they can be called that) over the last few days, my mind was drawn to the adage that “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over, while expecting a different result”. On that basis, the fat fascist fool seems to be insane.
He appears here at irregular intervals, and each time posts slabs of DemonRat talking points, while rejecting any criticism of the substance of those points. His other reaction is to post variations on the same talking points more frequently. There is no attempt to debate, only to harangue.
It seems rational to assume that he intends his actions to influence others here to “Believe, brothers and sisters, believe”. Yet, since the departure of Dick Ed, he seems to have made no converts.
Perhaps his time would be better spent trying to breathe some life into his own moribund blog? Or eating even more donuts.
Of course, Crossie. What was I thinking? The Elbow regime is being propped up by an army of corrupt crony capitalist subsidy miners running a hippie renewable energy investment scam that wouldn’t exist without taxpayer dollars being sprayed around like confetti.

Go West Libs! That’s where the votes are. And ditch the pretenders on the way…the b/s meters are strong out there.
I find it so hard to understand how any business journalist or commentator who can’t work out that an industry that still needs subsidies decades after inception to make money is not for the long haul.
It seems every good idea or product only needs startup money to get going and then success follows yet here we have renewables that can never be profitable on their own. I can see it even if my degree is not in economics so why can’t our leaders? Stupidity or corruption on the part of our politicians?
Just on Taiwan, we effectively abandoned Taiwan decades ago, and then we stood back and did nothing whilst the Chinese tightened the screws on Hong Kong. All we’ve done is fawn and kowtow to China, we’ve sat back and watched whilst premiers such as the unlamented thin lipped Maggot McGowan and the smirking Dan Xi Man prostrate themselves to China, and we’ve watched billionaires such as Andrew Forrest prostrate themselves. We in the west created the monster that is China, no wonder they’re emboldened.

Change Is in the Air in Africa
SIMPLICIUS THE THINKER
Under cover of the Ukrainian war, vast sweeping changes are in order for the global architecture which has secured Western hegemony for the past century and a half.
The events currently playing out in Africa and the ‘global south’ dare to eclipse the significance of the Ukrainian war, which acts merely as the frosting to the revolutionary layer cake of anti-imperialist sentiment bursting forth around the world.
Africa has had enough, and is self-assembling along geopolitical lines. The U.S. stooges of ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States) seek to keep the status quo going while rival blocs are ready to strip the Western powers of their self-proclaimed birthright to the African land—and its resources—once and for all.
This new revolt of the global south follows in the footsteps of previous movements, notably that of Gaddafi, who pushed for pan-Africanism and sought to replace the French Franc with an African currency based on the classical Libyan gold Dinar.
This was revealed in hacked Clinton emails from 2011 (released in 2015). One of them featured Clinton Foundation employee Sydney Blumenthal (a proxy for a CIA agent, it was later learned) telling Hillary the following:
The vaults of the Libyan Central Bank in Tripoli. This gold was accumulated prior to the current rebellion and was intended to be used to establish a pan-African currency based on the Libyan golden Dinar. This plan was designed to provide the Francophone African Countries with an alternative to the French.franc (CFA).
Blumenthal goes on to intimate that:
“French intelligence officers discovered this plan shortly after the current rebellion began”, and that this “influenced President Nicolas Sarkozy’s decision to commit France to the attack on Libya”.
Now, with that in mind, listen to this new report below about the current African developments:
The Economist is in dismay over Nigerien citizens’ support of Russia and the junta in general:
It’s clear that Russia’s David vs. Goliath performance in the Ukrainian war against the combined powers of the West is seen by the world as a reinvigorating and animating inspiration. When African countries see Russia leading the charge with its opening salvo against the West, they feel secure in marching behind their ‘big brother’.
The true war has always been about Europe’s main hegemonic weapon: its currency and banking system, which it uses to enslave lesser countries and control other ‘great powers’. But things are now converging with remarkable synchronicity to wrest back control from the West. In only a little over a week, a historic BRICS summit will take place and is set to become a linchpin in upturning the world order.
As can be seen from these recent reports, everyone in the ‘global south’ is clamoring for a new currency to replace the dollar and other Western units.
The only question is whether there will be enough resolve and gusto to really push the initiative forward.
Just listen to this recent Lula speech regarding the upcoming BRICS summit:
Meanwhile
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – Military intervention by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to address the military takeover in Niger ought to be an option of last resort, US State Department Principal Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel said on Monday.
The U.S. in the meantime expresses dumbfounded puzzlement as to why African countries could possibly side with Russia. Here’s Department of State spokesman Matthew Miller:
The poor, confused colonist has no idea why Africans would want to buy Russian flags. Well, Matthew, why don’t you let them educate you themselves:
The problem with Western/European elites is they think everyone in the global south is stupid. For instance, during the Ukrainian grain deal shenanigans a few weeks back the Euro-technocrats really tried to foist this nonsensical logic onto Africans, thinking they would fall for something so utterly cretinous and nakedly dishonest:
Can you believe it? He really tried to gaslight Africans into believing that Russia is ‘enslaving them’ with free grain! While, conversely, Europe’s theft and gluttinous hoarding of their grain is meant to be some sort of munificence or altruism, one supposes.
This is why Africans now reject the desperate deceit from Europe, which is culminating in a last gasp for control over their erstwhile empires from the age of imperialism.
Meanwhile Putin offers a new and better path to the world.
During yesterday’s security conference as part of the Arms expo, he preached cooperation amongst all the countries under the West’s cudgel.
The Abo’s owe the whites groveling gratitude for allowing them to live. In addition, the Abo’s had no clue what money was before their 40,000 years (debatable) degenerate lifestyle was elevated. Screw them I say.

Lydia has stated most loudly that she will have nothing to do with “Colonialist”, entities, except for her her Pollies wages and Super and perks of course.
Bear with me here fellow Cats. In one of my many employment incarnations over my working life, I was, for a time, a Film Make-up Artist. I can spot facial “help”, no matter how minor, from across a Ballroom floor, let alone on a 65 inch tv screen. Lydia, the Tattooed Lady has gone all “Kamala Harris”.
There is definite Botox and I venture a barrow load of Collagen/Restylane. Her face was unnaturally smooth and puffy. Her eyes were slits.
If the puffiness had been from drinking, her skin would not have been as smooth as it was under the harsh lighting. Alcohol puffiness makes your face look like a bum with bad cellulite.
Bitchiness on my part? Hell yes if it stops the massive shakedown heading our way.
“Whose truth? Stories my Nanna told me?”
Yeah…like the story that “mermaids took Harold Holt”.

Covid and the subsequent supply chain disruption exposed it.
Western expats in China who facilitated Chinese off-shoring are leaving in droves.
Our chief problem is that some sectors of our economy are too lazy to get off the Chinese teat.
Interesting take on the GA indictment of electoral fraud by Trump; courtesy of Judge Janine: the bearded bastard Jack Smith has in his indictment of Trump in DC for electoral fraud used the very same GA statutes as that black skank has used in GA. Since federal indictments supersede state and county indictments where duplication occurs the GA indictment is estopped by the previous federal indictment
These people are so stupid they make dickless look urbane and smart.
I was getting to that.
A small number (three or four, perhaps) would be a valuable means to collect the acoustic signatures of major warships, surface and submarine, of potential enemies, to assist in targeting them with un-crewed submersibles and remotely operated torpedo/mines.
But they would be far too valuable to rush around chasing enemy warships during a real war.
I could argue they owe the whites grovelling gratitude for defending them against Japanese invasion during World War Two….

I could assert that Lidia “stole” western dress.
She’s a moron. That people believe her suggests it’s contagious.
Didn’t know Bandler was a commo too- thanks Roger
Belay that. She’s a cunning grifter. Appealing to morons.

A mom spoke out at a school board meeting about @BeniciaUSD injecting gender ideology into the curriculum.
Leftist activists were fuming and set to work tracking down her employer and destroying her life. @Compass, her employer, caved to the mob and fired her.
I spoke with Janet and she shared her frustrations about what’s going on America. Her life was turned upside down but she stressed she believes parents have to stand up for whats right and protect their children. She doesn’t regret speaking out and hopes more parents join her!
We need the ticks back. Im tired of not being able to acknowledge others comments the lazy way.

They are squealing whenever Australia moves the ball forward.
TV now on mute.
In the fair dinkum stakes KD, sporting crowds pay to see drama, entertainment, and an even contest.
No one will pay to watch a horse race between Phar Lap and Mr Ed.
But pit Mr Ed against Ernie’s Trigger, and a cast of thousands will pay to view and bet.
So it is with women’s soccer. Their skill level is debatable but all teams are similar so the contest draws people in.
As does the drama, entertainment, and national pride.

Plenty of cope. So much cope. “I like experienced tattooed women I respect who know what they want because they f**k like crazy”….yeah real respectful buddy.
“You guys are pedos! Why get a virgin, a pro can make you cum SO hard!”
Cope. Cope. Cope Cope. Cope.
Funny how I think the guy who sent it on didn’t realise it was ironic, apparently they’re “adult actors” in the meme image.
A lot of comments are …”welp, the meme ain’t wrong, but beggars can’t be choosers”.
I consider that reply to be on the same level as Pauline Hanson’s “Please explain”.
FMD.
Monty, its Muellerween again. Aaaaany day now.
I’m thinking more along the lines of “Let them eat cake”.
Hopefully with s similar result.
Pauline’s reply was not arrogant dismissal unlike anal.
Phrasing?

The issue, of course, is about who counts the votes. Was there a reply to the claim that:
Someone else felt the difference between referendum and plebiscite would negate the throwing out of votes on the spurious grounds presented made a difference, but would they?
Every day in America it becomes more apparent that democracy was just a very thin veneer. Interesting too about the RINOs in Georgia.

Why are we passing the ball to their goalkeeper instead of shooting? Don’t we want to win?

Yes, and I can just see the french influence on the Rolling Stones music. Lol. FFS. You T.W.A.T. And a bigot to boot.

This is the first time I’ve seen Samantha Kerr playing. For somebody reputed to be one of the best players in the world she isn’t very dominating in the game.
She’s not fit .. shouldn’t have started except the media got excited and the coach chickened .. time she’s been out a 70/75th minute replacement would be more suitable .. All she is doing is reducing the team to 10 until she’s hooked ..
If they don’t score by 60mins he needs to get her off 1st ….. but he won’t .. duuuh!

cohenite you’re gay.
I am not; and if I was it would be head prefect’s fault.
Being sickened by what intimidates you is the first stage to facing and defeating your fears dottie. I will, at great expense, put up regularly a photo of a divine, nubile, muscular young woman. Together we will condition you away from this disturbing phobia which is keeping you from considering the important stuff like the latest advance in super conductors.
The approach we will take is I will post a great photo and direct you to one part of the young lady’s luscious body. In this way we will progress to you being able to view a whole cute owl without fear. Now dottie only focus on this cute owl’s belly-button and nothing else.
