Recently a preacher in the USA argued that the Rapture was delayed because people weren’t giving enough to his church. To state the obvious with an in your face name, I have to give Creflo A. Dollar credit for being out there on what so much of modern USA evangelical Christianity is about.

Monty, reflect that the 2,000th anniversary of the Crucifixion is in only a few years time. It’s a fun datum that no one ever seems to mention or discuss. Not fashionable these days. I ain’t into numerology though, I’ll leave that to my JW friends (they don’t like Deut 7:9).

It is popular to compare the current Labor incompetents to Whitlam’s outfit. But even the Whitlam clowns cannot be negatively compared to the grey collection of failed nasty ageing school teachers, barely literate union goons, perverts and racists and commos that make up Albanese’s nasty collection of perpetrual adolescents.
Sure, they were hopeless but generally not terrorists. There is nobody in the current grease trap Government who could compare to the likes of raconter Fred Daly, loveable larrikin but based Mick Young, union stooge but based Simon Crean, kingmaker crook Richardson, niave but probably reasonable Beazley.
If nothing else, they could be amusing and some of them had actually had jobs outside of the public service.

21st century politicians have devolved from the heights we enjoyed in the previous century. I don’t know if that is a blip or a trend. The decline doesn’t look like it is confined to Australia.
Random post for the various military history buffs here.
I have in my possession a book titled A Man Called Stan which seems to be a family memoir of a West Australian cyclist.
Arthur Stanley Gurney was killed in action at Tel-El-Eisa in 1942 fighting for the 2/48th battalion. He was posthumously awarded the VC for the heroism that got him killed.
I was amused by a diary entry from September 15th 1941:
The nearest I can tell you about where I am is I’m somewhere in Libya and on what little I’ve seen of it I don’t reckon it’s worth arguing about let alone fighting for.
Not much has changed then.
I am having a massive clean out of my bookshelves, if anyone here would like to add it to their collection I am happy to post it to you. Otherwise it is headed to the Salvos or the local street library.
Don’t all put your hands up at once.
In my 2 years in Melbourne I thought it was more like London -the surrounding few suburbs behaved like a village. Never really got that vibe in Sydney but will add the caveat that I never lived there. Melbourne has its disasters – Chapel St on weekends, Punt Rd if there is a game at the MCG, parking around St Kilda on weekends. Most of the time it wasn’t too bad. Sydney would drive you nuts trying to go 2 suburbs across most days.

One major problem with Melbourne traffic is big build snarling the inner city in general but the inner west in particular.
Took me well over an hour to get to the Melbourne museum from the west, and then an hour twenty to get grandchildren home even though I left at 3pm and wasn’t foolish enough to try using Latrobe St.
Going back west I saw Douglas parade was banked up from near Newport power station to Hyde Street.
Delayed heading home til 6.30, still took me an hour and a half.
If only we had an East west link.
Zipping around local suburbs though, no problem.

Something the cancelled tunnel would have partly rectified.

In the end it was quicker to head up thorough Greenborough down the Western Ring Rd to the airport. Don’t know if that’s still the case, most family in Melbourne has sold up and left, I only have rural relatives now.

He’s often been ‘nasty’. He was nasty about the late Cardinal George Pell, he was nasty when women were assaulted in a public park by trans perverts, he said that they ‘deserved’ to be assaulted, he’s often here being nasty about those whose opinions he doesn’t like, calling people “Nazis”. Don’t know what you think but I think calling someone a Nazi without good reason is very nasty, but you know what, I know now why he (and his fellow travellers on the left) been so obsessed with Nazis, because for the whole time he’s just been talking about himself.
And he was nasty earlier on with his comment about the blog proprietor.

We Melburnians have Dictator Dan to blame for that.
He tore up a contract, costing taxpayers well over a billion dollars, partly because the previous government signed up to it, partly because his snarky nose was out of joint as his union mates weren’t in on the deal.
Met a young lady many years ago from Pitcairn Island, and yes her surname was Christian. My mate thought he was in with a chance. Now here’s this beautiful young lady and the second ugliest bloke in the world……. no chance. He just couldn’t understand why.

They set a couple of examples in the west bank though
Israel reviewing hostages list, Hamas also reportedly questioning deal term
Since a ceasefire started on Friday, 39 Israeli children and women were released, plus 24 hostages negotiated out of captivity as part of external deals
As a truce between Israel and Hamas entered its fourth and final day, which allowed the release of Israeli children and women hostages held by the terrorist organization to be released in exchange for Palestinian prisoners and the entry of emergency aid into Gaza, there are talks for an extension.
On the night between Sunday to Monday, the terrorist organization Hamas said in a statement that it “seeks to extend the truce beyond its four days” with the aim of “increasing the number of prisoners released” as provided for in the agreement.
Since a ceasefire started on Friday, 39 Israeli children and women were released, plus 24 hostages negotiated out of captivity as part of external deals, including mostly Thai nationals working or studying in Israel, as well as a Philippines nationals and a Russian with dual citizenship.
As part of the deal, 117 Palestinian prisoners were exchanged at a ratio of one hostage to three prisoners. Now, a provision of the agreement could allow its renewal to release daily around ten hostages from the grips of Hamas in exchange for thirty prisoners.
Elon Musk tours Kibbutz Kfar Aza with PM Netanyahu to see Hamas atrocities firsthand
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu toured Kibbutz Kfar Aza with Elon Musk, the richest person in the world and owner of the X social media platform.
Musk was shown first-hand the actions of the terrorist organization Hamas, during the October 7 massacres.
Netanyahu and Musk are expected to have a conversation that will be broadcast live on X (formerly Twitter), according to Ynet.

Hamas threatens collaborators that reveal locations of its operatives
“We warn everyone who dares to try to track down the resistance in general, and we warn in particular against asking about the wounded,” Hamas said in a statement.
“After following up, we found several people trying to find out the whereabouts of the wounded Mujahideen, and here we assure you that after this statement and warning we will not have another statement. Rather, we will have to deal on the ground with everyone who tries to track down the mujahideen, especially the wounded,” the terrorist organization threatened in the statement.

what so much of modern USA evangelical Christianity is about
The greatest evangelist of all time was Herbert W Armstrong and the Radio Church of God. I used to listen to him when I was a kid. I can still hear his voice. His logic was unassailable. ” You know what these evolutionist want you to believe? Imagine a swamp. Now imagine a lizard sitting on a rock in a swamp. He stands up on his back legs and starts flapping his little arms and feathers grow. In no time he is a bird. That is what they want you to believe”
What about evangelical Catholics and Anglicans?

Historically it was a reference to Protestants. In modern discussion “evangelical” includes a huge range of Christians and is often used in reference to Protestant Christians in the USA. I prefer the usage as indicating belief in the risen Christ and the bible as divinely inspired; which includes Catholics but most of the time Catholics are not termed as evangelical. Dollar and Co disgust me because the prosperity gospel they preach is just a masquerade for greed but I have no reason to think they don’t believe in a risen Christ.

The only flaw in that STC letter is that he’s not asking for the actors to reconsider the rightness or wrongness of their actions. It’s all about filthy money. Had he left that part unsaid it would have been a lot clearer that hey are just despicable.

Yes I thought that was a bit too mercenary.
Jorge, Gabor:
It’s never wrong to remind the bastards just who is paying their wages and expenses, and that if they want to be partisan, then partisanship has a cost.
What struck me is that we have a nice, cultured, but not very perceptive Jew who simply hasn’t seen the nature of the people who he imagined were sympathetic allies. And who are nothing of the sort.
All the leftie voting Jews are like that. Behind the pace. Seeing what they want to see, rather than the ugliness that is actually there.

Instagram’s algorithm delivers a toxic video mix to adults who follow children.
Instagram’s Reels is designed to show users streams of short videos on topics the system decides will interest them, and it does so even for users its algorithm decides might have a prurient interest in children, testing by The Wall Street Journal showed. WSJ’s Jeff Horwitz and Katherine Blunt investigate the content that the Meta-owned video service served to test accounts that followed only young gymnasts and other teens, which included risqué footage of children, overtly sexual adult videos and ads from major brands.
File under because it’s Zuckerberg it’s ok.
I’m old enough to remember last week when Media Matters constructed the same thing over at twitterX & had a range of advertisers pull their business.
But because it’s Musk, it’s bad.
The hypocrisy is just so ripe.
Dover, it takes twenty seconds to reload the page after I have followed a link and try to return. That’s with three pages to a post. As the number of pages goes up, it gets progressively longer. At six pages it’s not worth following any links. Which rather takes away the point of coming here.
Can’t you fix for the system to load just the current page, not the whole lot? If I want to go to the preceding page, again, it loads the whole lot. It’s getting exasperating.

This is one issue I agree on with m0nty, change the service provider, this one is just not good enough, trying to squeeze in as many customers into a limited bandwidth as possible, shifting them around trying to please.

Krivoy appears to have been held separately, perhaps because of his Russian citizenship.
For a few days, he was hiding alone,” Magid said, as she described a half-hour long conversation with her nephew after his release as part of a deal negotiated between Israel and Hamas.
Krivoy, who suffered a head injury during the collapse of the building, had intended to try to reach the Gaza border fence, she added, but did not know where he was inside the territory and was eventually found by Palestinian civilians who returned him to Hamas.

Three-year-old twins Emma and Yuli Cunio, were held captive by Hamas in Gaza for 50 days until their release Monday evening as part of a ceasefire deal with Israel.
So we now know that literally every Palestinian supports Hamas. So Monty et al can stop worrying about Israel killing any “innocent” people. They just don’t exist.
Still no sign of baby Kfir and his brother.
Jonathan Conricus interview yesterday emphasised that for the ceasefire to hold hamas needed to return 10 live hostages a day.
It’s hard for people to arrive at the realisation the place that held your belief system is a rancid pile of turd and don’t want you there. It’s actually sad for them because the psychological beat up is really harsh. The letter shows this.
To be fair it would almost be impossible to aid a Jewish hostage, as soon as hamas found out, it would be a death sentence.

I don’t know, maybe walking around drapped in terror towels isn’t a good idea.
I noticed the local Mr minute man wearing one at my local supermarket a few days ago.
I won’t be patronising him again.

Professor Bunyip was great. Someone who could write. Did he ever publish any novels?
This comment from twitter.
The cruelty of the Gazans
In the last few hours, a heated debate began on the Gazan networks regarding the deal. Quite a few Gazans oppose the release of the Israeli hostages and call on Hamas to “guard the important assets”.
A shocking announcement circulated on the networks reads: “They are not allowed to leave Gaza”, with the picture of Shiri Biebs and her children.
Gotta laff if it weren’t so serious! .. Qatar hosting and chairing ongoing mediation over hostages between Israel & HAMAS.
Qatar is a large part of the problem .. not the solution! ..
Funds world-wide terror and get to play at peace-broker .. FFS!
I believe Bunyip has written at least one non fiction book, not sure about novels.
hamas are also holding a Bedouin family including a 17 year old girl.
Yesterday, a mother showed Elon hamas live stream of her son being kidnapped.
Benjamin Netanyahu and Elon Musk Condemn Hamas as a “Death Cult” and “New Nazis”
– Netanyahu labels Hamas as a “death cult,” drawing parallels with the Nazis, asserting they would do more if they had the talent.
– Musk agrees with Netanyahu’s characterization, expressing his concern over protests in favor of Hamas.
– Netanyahu proposes:
” Together with Arab countries, we must demilitarize, deradicalize and rebuild Gaza”
– Musk advocates for Israel to take a post-conflict approach similar to the Allies in Germany and Japan, emphasizing the need to halt Hamas’s threats against Israelis.

@elonmusk
also expresses a desire to assist in the rebuilding of Gaza after the war, calling for an end to anti-Israel propaganda, saying:
“The propaganda against Israel must stop… I want to help rebuild Gaza after the war.”
Any explanation gives STC and their actors a point for them to dispute, or at least to discuss to their own satisfaction. Silent departure leaves them with nothing.

Billions of Dollars of Aussie Retirement Funds to be Gambled on Britain’s Failing Net Zero Push (26 Nov)
That’s the trouble when the Left gets control of money, it’s always squandered. Dumb enough to invest in Australian green rubbish, but to invest in UK greenery just before the most leftwing Labour government ever takes power is completely suicidal.
Zombie Cult.
As described a couple of days ago – incapable of self-reflection and terrified of Christian symbols. Once infected, the brain is eaten away.
Some hamas persin (some UK based Pakistani who pretends to be a woman called Maree Campbell?) on twitter went nuts because Ohad Munder’s first meal, as requested by him was schnitzel and potato, and crapped on how he would prefer to be still eating the ‘season’ food of Gaza.
The same idiot unmasked himself back in April when he forgot he’d posted using his sock account and replied to a question regarding his LinkedIn account using his real Id.

I have a modest account with Australian Super, it’s Australian shares only.
I’m wondering if I can add ‘excluding renewables’.
It really is an open air prison.
An amazing event: a security prisoner was returned to Gaza against his will yesterday as part of the “hostages deal”. Alaa Abu Sanima wanted to stay in the Israeli prison and continue receiving his salary from the Palestinian Authority.
Now he will have to start a new life in Rafah in Gaza without a salary.

I note the meja are quiet on Makarata commission and all the taxpayer $ it is receiving since they were told No. Normally this would be a good sign however seeing it is Albo and co I have a bad feeling about this.
