A lot of non-DemonRats do seem to be asleep at the wheel (or are actually secret DemonRats).
I know that you disagree, but the best outlook I can see is a (relatively) peaceful break up into Red and Blue nations. That would be far preferable to a resort to violence, which seems likely if the DemonRats continue to push the margins.

Thanks Wodney. We’re off next month for Thanksgiving. I’m sure your wishes are with good intentions. We don’t hang around where the illegals reside, so out of sight out of mind. When there, we don’t really do touristy stuff. We just hang out – see pals, go out to dinner and wifey goes to plays. I don’t go because she refuses to go with me as I fall asleep and we end up fighting in the seats because she startles me awake with an elbow to the ribs.

Matt Gaetz: I Had Donald Trump’s Blessing to Oust Kevin McCarthy From Speakership
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) was successful Tuesday in his quest to oust Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) from the Speaker of the House position, and now he’s saying he had former president Donald Trump’s blessing.
McCarthy was voted out of the job by a 216-210 tally, and for now, the House is left with Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC) as the Speaker Pro Tem. An election will be held to determine the next official speaker, and McCarthy has already come out and said he won’t be in the running.
My colleague Duke wondered the other day in his article whether Gaetz would proceed with such a dramatic plan without Trump’s approval. We have our answer:
‘I have spoken to President Trump over the last several days,’ Gaetz told reporters on the steps of the Capitol after the vote. ‘I would say that my conversations with the former president leave me with great confidence that I’m doing the right thing.’
McCarthy became the first speaker in American history to be outed from his job in Tuesday’s vote that saw eight members of his own party sink him. Now Republicans will have to deal with the fallout. That not only includes electing a new speaker but dealing with the bloodbath that remains of their party.
Gaetz may say that, but Trump did not seem pleased with the dysfunction within the GOP, at least if you read his social media posts earlier in the day:

I will take any of my boats and navigate anywhere in the world, but he must do the same. i have 4 boats and only 2 would be ok for blue water the Sea Ray Amberjack and the Hereshoff ketch (which i prefer at 52 feet).

No better (to be kind) than the Owen.
Recall that Army wanted to produce the “Austen” (Australian Sten) here, but were over-ruled, and forced to take the Owen. The Sten was also rubbish. Was someone working for the Master-General of the Ordnance trying to make a very petty point by replacing a useful weapon with a rubbish one?

First spots of rain just hitting my place in Mosman.
Wish I had realised strong winds and heavy rain were coming today. I would have bought some wine and oven-heated food.

Let the wind howl and rattle angrily at the windows while the aircon hummed unperturbed and I ate and watched TV in my calm impenetrable oasis.
(You needed the aircon because typhoons are warm weather events. Oh, and there is this charge in the air beforehand like the hush in a symphony hall when the conductor stands poised with raised baton.)

I don’t see a breakup because the majority of folks just live their lives and aren’t as interested in politics as we are here on this blog. I think what’s happened between friends is that if you believe the other party has different views, you just don’t talk politics anymore.
If I’m ever asked by Demonrat friends sussing out who I like, etc. I always say I love how Trump lowered the corporate tax rate down to 21%. It just disarms them.
We’re heading to Miami for Thanksgiving with pals, and the host wife despises Trump like he’s the devil incarnate. WIfey has been begging me not to take on any political discussion. They’re good pals. They’re always hosting us and have our kid stay with them in the Hamptons for the summers.

As mentioned, I’ve got a “Don’t welcome me to my own country” sticker on the back of my car.
Looking for parking in a Perth shopping center, I thought I was being followed.
Pulling into a vacant parking lot, a car pulled in behind me, the window comes down, and I cop a screeching tirade from the harridan behind the wheel about “that sticker you’ve got. It’s not your country, it’s not mine, it’s Aboriginal country. A 15 year old Aboriginal boy was bashed to death not far from here, have you any idea how offensive his family would find that sticker? I do social work among Aboriginals living in poverty, while their men folk are in jail, running the risk of necking themselves. I’ll pray for your soul. Do you know that theirs is the oldest living culture, and we should be proud to walk in their footsteps.”
“Oh, can I get a word in edgewise? Theirs isn’t the oldest living culture, that honour belongs to the San Bushmen of Southern Africa, we don’t have much option other then to walk in their footsteps, they never invented the wheel. In their culture, a woman of your vintage would have had seven children before she was twenty five, had both legs broken and left for the dingoes when she was in her mid twenties.(H/T Cohenite.)

I hate to do this but has Ashley Paul Griffith been to trial and found guilty?
No matter what evidence has been found, he is due a trial.
Didn’t we just get over this ‘guilty before the trial’ in the last couple of months?
I don’t doubt that.
The real problem is that the DemonRat left want to ram their insane beliefs down everyone’s throat and will not take no for an answer. Continue like that, and eventually there will be a reaction.
Perhaps a simple purge of anyone who takes such an attitude? It is probably not much more than a million or so in total. Break them down for spare parts, and use their (very ample) wealth to pay off the national debt? (NADT, only joking about the spare parts, not so much about confiscating their ill-gotten wealth to repair the costs of their stupidity. The Clintons and Bidens between them would have looted enough to reduce the debt by a lot.)
I find brevity is a better alternative . Perhaps you should try something along the lines of – “tongue my balls while you slobber on my greasy c%ck you cumdumpster”, it’s brief, but to the point.

“It has been suggested the first railroad gauges arose from the width of the typical horse driven carriage.”

But once he built it into the Locomotion, the rest was history.

I don’t know why, but I just can’t put my finger on the reasons. I actually think that if Trump does win and win by large in 24, he closes the border, reforms the bureaucracy, brings peace to the Ukraine, I actually think people will gain an appreciation of him and things simmer down. Sometimes a defeat just has that impact.
It goes something like, there is fear in the Demonrat circles that he will win, but once they pass that stage and settle down, they may not see things as terrible for them as they believed before. It’s not all of them, but enough to quieten things down.
We can say ‘cock’ here.

Russia isn’t using Brusilov’s tactics. On problem with that is drones – very hard to build up enough artillery and ammo behind the lines when one $20 drone can spot a HIMARS strike onto your artillery park and ammo dump. Which means dispersal is necessary, But Brusilov’s attack method needed concentration. So in some ways the current tactical situation is worse than WW1, for both sides, since both have drones and excellent intel.
The next big advance is anti artillery shell lasers. Which are very close to being deployed. Then the tactical balance may change once more. I don’t know in which direction though.
So.

Bugger me. Caleb Bond is standing in for Sharri Markson, who has again decided not to show up for work this week at Sky News.
Bond is doing an excellent pob of covering for the recalciltrant Markson, but unfortunately he has picked up the Andrew Blot habit — popular with big media egos — of talking over his guests.
In other words, Bond thinks he’s more important than the newsmakers on his show — a fatal flaw that, as a line-and-length representative of the proletariat with a normal-sized ego, guarantees he’ll only ever be a member of the supporting cast.

Crisis on the Armenian frontline
By Marilyn Rodrigues – October 4, 2023
Excerpts:
The Liberal member of the New South Wales legislative council (Sue Carter) was part of a group of Australian MPs—coincidentally, all Catholic—who were plunged into the middle of the world’s latest refugee crisis while on a scheduled visit.
Armenia is the world’s most ancient Christian nation; the Australian politicians met the leader of the Armenian Apostolic Church, Catholicos Karekin II, while on their tour.
The Member for Oatley Mark Coure said the crisis was deepening “hour by hour” and warned many more thousands would be displaced and the refugees’ situation worsen without immediate attention from the rest of the world.
He said the group’s visit to Armenia’s spiritual leader was “very helpful” and they will ask the Australian Federal government and the UN to provide immediate emergency funding.
Led by Labor MP Hugh McDermott and Liberal MP Tim James the group coincidentally arrived for a week-long visit as the humanitarian tragedy unfolded.

He built what could be built but was thwarted at every turn, slowed by ridiculous lawsuits. However, he certainly brought the flow down to a trickle. Instead of the late-term abortion, there are now 2 million people walking across the border annually—welcomed by the Demons.
Nope, he didn’t. Big mistake.
He neutralized NK to some extent, and he certainly made the punters aware of the dangers of the CCP. He most certainly did that.
Yep, but I would except China, and only to some extent.
I’m quite okay with my way or the higwahy approach. He’s the prez.
He was never going to lock her up. That was just Trump being hyperbolic Trump. However, if he gets in, Crooked better watch herself next time.

Uh. Earlier, at 4.00:
I would like to hear more of this. Specifically, I would like to hear specifics.
“He didn’t build the wall, he didn’t drain the swamp, he didn’t fix the China and NK issues, he erected tariffs that harmed US companies, he didn’t choose the best people because by his own words he condemned so many of them, he didn’t lock her up rather his team was locked up, he ridiculed US servicemen, he kept thousands of classified documents and tried to hide some of them. Sure JC, he’ll do better next time.”
I’ll just preface my response to the above wankish bilge (and they’re the politest words I can drum up to describe the above horse manure) by stating that not even Donald Trump could ever have imagined the furious assault on his presidency, beginning seconds after he won the presidency that night in November 2016, assaults from the Democrats, RINOs, MSM, CIA, FBI et al. Within hours there was talk of trying to get the electoral college to reject his presidency, and it just went on and on from there. I remember how in January 2017, MAGA people who travelled to Washington for his inauguration were physically assaulted by Democrats, and of course whilst the inauguration was happening, the Wussia hoax began in earnest, which had the Clinton fingerprints all over it, followed by almost two years of the Mueller investigation, impeachment attempts and so on. All of this was topped by the summer of violence in 2020. No president in history, save for President Andrew Jackson, has ever had to confront such malicious opposition. The lies and malice spread about Trump were and remain stratospheric. I often wonder why he bothered, but he bothered because he saw how badly the USA had faired under that repulsive slick Kenyan and that’s why he stepped in. Trump has always reminded me of a character from a John Ford film. A patriot, a man who loves his country and who loves Americans. Despite all the malice, the malevolence, the spite, the hate, the attacks, Donald Trump accomplished a lot in his time as president. Energy independence, a good economy, the Abraham accords, no wars began under his presidency. And no, I don’t believe he ever “ridiculed US servicemen”, in fact he honoured US servicemen and women, and unlike many of his predecessors and that rotting corpse of a successor, he didn’t and doesn’t regard the lives of young American men and women as canon fodder.
As for “he kept thousands of classified documents and tried to hide some of them.”….seriously, you’re a D-grade court jester. Perhaps Trump had them under lock and key, unlike the rotting corpse who is now president, who kept classified documents in his Delaware garage for anyone to find.
I am still not sure I want Donald Trump to run next year, long preferring DeSantis but given that Trump still manages to upset various rotting apples, as evidenced in the bilge above, I’ll happily throw my support behind Trump.
Well, as I live and breathe…

After some sotto-voce cursing at the sheer naivety of expecting a semi-competent effort by the underfunded NOers, I phone the only contact number given by Fair Australia.
Naturally, there’s no answer. Trying again after some more cursing, Geoff, from country NSW, answers. He bemoans the difficulties of organizing the volunteer body (no, I didn’t ask for details) and, as my problem isn’t unique, informs me that the commitment of some has been less than whole. He promises to pass my details on to someone who can help.
Eventually, just as I’m about to decamp, Jeni, from a polling booth in Concord, brings some materials, zip-ties, and, more importantly, knowledge of the mechanics, the dos and don’ts of the booth microcosm.
After Jeni shows me the ropes, and once some corflutes are zip-tied to lamp-posts, where they can be left overnight until polling day (unlike anything placed on the ground) she returns to Concord and I start my shift proper, alone, handing out leaflets with smiling Jacinta and Warren on them, while asking each voter to just write NO, preferably with a pen, for it is an easier task than writing YES, and to avoid using ticks or crosses. Everyone is polite, even those waving away my paper offering, even the YES volunteers, even those glaring at the sheer effrontery of being taught to choose in a simple YES/NO binary.
To my calls of “Vote NO to the Voice of division.”, their call is “Vote YES for a better outcome/future for all.”
One has to smile at the power of the YES camp’s self-delusion, earnestly believing that yet another layer of permanent bureaucracy will magically overturn and reverse the product of 50+ years of waste, nepotism and unerring policy failure.
One of the YES volunteers is a semi-retired hydrology civil engineer, steeped in MATLAB simulations, differential equations and linear algebra. All rigor, no BS.. yet he believes in magic.
Wonders never cease.

And stupid. Glad you’re also proud of that.
Oh touché old Kimmie boy, since no-one toils in the sun anymore, in 700,000 years everyone will be white!
No.
It is a miracle there aren’t more, each and every day.
Most of these occur on the highways leading off the Stuart to parts even more remote, but almost all drivers who regularly traverse the NT via that big north-south arterial road will have at least one horror near-miss story concerning a ‘countryman’ car chock full of locals, and all over the place like a madwoman’s shit.
I’m actually quite up to date. The US president is the head of the executive branch. There is no law that suggests a president is restricted from declassifying anything he wants and whenever his chooses. I have no idea why you would be making the comment that he’s not a king as it has no relevance. There has been convention, but convention isn’t law.
And cognitive dissonance is a problem too for some

Correct. It’s the same system in France.

Those 210 Republicans look pretty weak.
That is such a poor effort from someone who walks up to strangers and tells them what for. Two days ago I ended an email on a biochem issue where I declared myself “Too stupid for this world.” So I’m already way ahead of you.
Warwick Capper liked silly shoes too. It seems to be an AFL thing.

A couple of questions regarding EV chargers if anyone knows:
The cable is made of copper and the line doesn’t get energized until the car and the charger are plugged in. I assume the switching gear is the charging box.
How much could you sell those cables for?
How much would they cost to replace once people discover a free source of copper?
Damn you! Damn you to hell! After all the insults you now praise me!
Really funny.
As if the weather respects the artificial constructs of our monthly calendar.
The other night the weather-chick was solemnly telling us that September rainfall was the lowest evah (since 2015).
Without drawing breath she goes on to say it will piss down buckets over the next few days.
My takeaway?
It rains in spring.
But not always on a strict timetable.
uh-oh … lego-man
“That is such a poor effort from someone who walks up to strangers and tells them what for.”
But I don’t walk up to strangers and tell them what for, they walk up to me/approach me and try and engage me, and I then have my say.

At the National Press Club a few weeks ago –
And when the lovely Jacinta Price, a Senator of this Great Nation, explained a few things. One of which was the word ‘Accountability’.
Such a powerful word and as I have been saying for such a long time. And not just here as this is only a Blog. Every Organisation in Australia that gets Taxpayer funded money should be subject to a yearly Audit. EVERY One of them. And it doesn’t matter what colour or race or whatever they represent.
Blot was barely worth the price of admission when he was on FTA.
Oetzi the Iceman had a large longbow and flint-edged arrows with the capacity to kill at 150 metres. That was 5300 years ago in Europe. He also had a rare copper adze. Aboriginal peoples of Australia seem to have originally arrived here in sequential migrations early in time via a coastal route with land bridges very early in migrations from an African or Middle Eastern point of origin. They show some linguistic and genetic similarities to South Indian indigenous tribes. As coastal dwellers they probably lived a lot on various seafoods, where bows and arrows wouldn’t have been particularly useful, so no impetus to experiment with that. They likely carried this ‘passive’ hunting and gathering culture into Australia, and apart from Kangaroos didn’t engage in a great deal of meat hunting, just small animal and flora foraging, quite a lot of it done by women, while the men retreated into warfare and spiritual matters. They did develop a shaped flying stick and a spear thrower for hunting purposes, as had happened elsewhere in very early hunting cultures, and rudimentary fishing equipment showed some improvements, but still a stone-age technology.
They lived in small familial groups wandering over ‘ranges’ of known territory and rarely went beyond it, marrying into adjacent groups divided also into similar kinship sections which alternated generationally in complex ways. As in New Guinea, they say they ‘marry the people we fight’ in a sister-category exchange system more complex than in New Guinea. Contra to Pascoe, they weren’t horticulturalists at all, not influenced by NG or Torres Strait people there.
Whether they were sophisticated enough to take out the ‘megafauna’ is debatable.
Cultural isolation breeds stasis. Gloryfying this is a step backwards.
Long gone time to move on now.
Haven’t scrolled through the OT, so maybe mentioned already..
Jeni of Concord showed me a screenshot .jpg from the Yes23 camp, allegedly sent out to volunteers (don’t know if it’s yet been distributed in paper form, and where).
It shows, in suitable colour, a voting leaflet completed with a green tick and a red cross, claiming that such markings will be counted as valid votes.
This, after all the press coverage and claims of AEC bias in the last month.
Apparently, lawyers in the NO camp have been notified of this and will notify the AEC.
Yet more evidence that Yes23ers are vile, compulsive liars in the great Marxist tradition.
But we already knew that.

Tom Sharpe and ‘A Blot on the Landscape’ comes to mind.
So what was the point of Beazley’s cathartic revealing of ancient family secrets?
Was it to say that we should vote ‘Yes’ because deep down we are all black, so we should not be racist in our votes?
Have they not twigged yet that people are tired of being called racist? That people see their decision as being based on reason are getting fed up with having their reasons treated as empty sophistry to cover for racism?
It is astonishing watching just how feeble the left’s campaign is, and how much it consists of theatre, playacting at fighting a wicked (bigoted) dragon, and how little of contesting ideas.
I suppose the latter involves merit, and that scares them.
You’ll have to post a lot more much lower quality drivel to even aspire to the mUnty level of contempt.

One of my former students told me that she’d given up on thinking about things, because it only made her more muddled and confused. I explained that no, she was always muddled and confused, but now she’d found out that she was muddled and confused, which was progress.
She didn’t believe me.
My pleasure. You’re still failing the essential thing in heaven and on earth. You have yet to express the same contempt and bile towards me that you do towards Monty. That is my goal. I want to be as despised as Monty. Then I shall be justified in heaven and on earth. Now up to it.”

Good point. I’ll work on that.

What aboriginal populations did do is change the nature of the landscape which may have diminished habitat for more varied fauna and which developed a uniculture of gum trees germinated by aboriginal fire-farming, for they used fire as a main weapon to drive out fauna and thus have it weakened and available for clubbing with the same nulla-nulla they used on their wives’ heads.
All of that said, and we may not like most aspects of this culture, it did provide a human framework of myths and beliefs which allowed explanations of human consciousness in nature, something which mindful people like Marcus Aurelius put into words, drawing on generations of Greek philosophising for this. Elizabeth Durack in particular, living in the Kimberley in close contact with local aboriginal people, understood this intuitively about their myths, and her stories and pictures created for modern children from these myths are a fertile moment in cross-cultural understanding. Denigrated now of course because white woman cultural appropriation.

I don’t think anyone but true believers would be willing to change their vote to yes on that ad.
Playing psychotherapist again? What next? That I need a Dr2 antagonist with a D1 specificity in the VTA-Nacc efferents? Or how about a 5 HT2a agonist though I think that may very well be cause by association because it exists in a heterodimer complex with TrkB and that is where a lot of whole interesting stuff is happening with regard to depression and neurodegeneration.

Old Ozzie:
A debate in the old style would have destroyed the yes vote. The abuse from the entitled ones would have led to a punch up in the studio.
It would have been a very good night for the Channel that ran it, but none had the guts to do it.
We should start demanding a debate as a precursor to any election.

Its relevant given the unlimited powers you seem to have ascribed to Trump during his time in office. Facts are that there are laws which relate to handling of classified information and there is no evidence that Trump declassified anything, especially not the classified documents he removed to his personal address after leaving office. Which he admitted to and gave back eventually.
And Trump knowingly and publicly declared on record to sharing classified information to non-certified people in breach of multiple security laws and policies.
A fish is caught by the mouth and Trump will be caught on this offence by his own recorded words.

Funny, because it’s possibly true.
This sort of thing can only make the sensitive folk here feel even more ignorant. Which upsets them. It doesn’t do much for the insensitive ones, me for one, who are resigned to being ignorant but would like to be marginally less so. There’s not enough information there for us. It looks like showing off how many things you know without actually telling us anything.
I suppose if you want m0nty status it’s a possible strategy.

No, I’m not a “psychotherapist” but perhaps you should seek one out.

Exactly. Senator Jacinta Price would have had a field day. The MSM and ALPBC would never have reported it. Too scared.

Gilas, what you felt about the lack of organisation at the pointy end of voting is what Hairy and I experience when we turned out to man the booths for the Australian Conservatives. We knew it was all over then, and your report has me worried about the No vote now. If there is no enthusiasm in the volunteering then the Yes will win hands down, especially when all the Yes booths are stacked with money, muchos money, as well as leftist enthusiasts.
It all makes me sad for the country, and for its aboriginal people who will be delivered a large dose of more of the same, forever. If I was in Australia I would be out there for sure, handing how How to Votes and probably feeling just a dejected as on the day for the Aust Cons.
Whether they were sophisticated enough to take out the ‘megafauna’ is debatable.

Congratulations JR. The first one here to strike gold.
1. Acronyms are not words.
2. Just today another study pointed to the same dynamic in play. I don’t expect you to understand any of it and I made a huge mistake because I failed to post drivel. It is not bollocks. I’m even kind enough to provide you one of many thousands of studies highlighting this issue.
BDNF receptor TrkB as the mediator of the antidepressant drug action
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) signaling through its receptor TrkB has for a long time been recognized as a critical mediator of the antidepressant drug action, but BDNF signaling has been considered to be activated indirectly through the action of typical and rapid-acting antidepressants through monoamine transporters and glutamate NMDA receptors, respectively. However, recent findings demonstrate that both typical and the fast-acting antidepressants directly bind to TrkB and thereby allosterically potentiate BDNF signaling, suggesting that TrkB is the direct target for antidepressant drugs. Increased TrkB signaling particularly in the parvalbumin-expressing interneurons orchestrates iPlasticity, a state of juvenile-like enhanced plasticity in the adult brain. iPlasticity sensitizes neuronal networks to environmental influences, enabling rewiring of networks miswired by adverse experiences. These findings have dramatically changed the position of TrkB in the antidepressant effects and they propose a new end-to-end model of the antidepressant drug action. This model emphasizes the enabling role of antidepressant treatment and the active participation of the patient in the process of recovery from mood disorders.
As I previously stated cohenite, same pattern throughout the world. We show up, they go down.
Been done before too. The Aust Ab musicality is sadly lacking when compared to the wide range of musical instruments in bone and percussion that were on display for the 6000 year old hunter-gatherers in the Argyle valley of Kilmartin in Scotland that I saw on display in the museum there.
Killer boomerangs are pretty damn good. Very accurate and just the right size to wound and, most importantly, knock over a wallaby. A crude bow would just see the wallaby hop away and die unfindably several km away.
A killer boomerang would be useless against something bigger, like a deer.
There’s science and art to the weapons mix that aboriginals had, to a certain extent. The thing though about bows and arrows, for example, is they can be improved much more than boomerangs can be. Once you get the start on the technology tree it leads you to better things, but when it comes to wallabies and possums a killer boomerang is better at level 1. So no aboriginal ever had a chance to develop a compound bow, since that was too many advances away.
