It was Alex Hollings from Sandboxx, I am a subscriber. I have no idea how he came across the site. It was an open interview, no need to be an insider. I can’t reference it for you.
get off the bongs John H
MT Hollings may have been doing some market research and seeing if Sandboxx was linked in Aus. I have posted Sandboxx links here. There is a recent article on Sandboxx arguing that lasers will not work against hypersonics. Not the Russian hypersonics which have a ballistic trajectory hence can be intercepted but the modern hypersonics China and the USA are producing – variable flight paths, near impossible to intercept. The catch being hypersonics are extremely expensive so needs to be a high value target, like an aircraft carrier.
Then I’d be as ignorant and stupid as you.

Study shows existence of early humans in Philippines 700,000 years ago
Probably erectus. Can’t be us, too far back in time. They still refuse to entertain the idea that erectus or even early humans used boats of some sort. It is that dumb early human theory they subconsciously entertain. I don’t know why they think like that. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to build a canoe.
Maybe the same way monkeys got to the Americas?
That’s possible and is the idea they prefer to entertain. For the Philippines conceivable. You prompted a quick Wiki look … . New World monkeys diverged some 40 million years ago. What did they eat and drink over that distance(1,000ks)?

Air Fryers are wonderful, especially if you are older and don’t want to fuss over cooking. They cook lamb steaks to perfection in just 9 minutes, for instance. No mess. You put oil on them, and turn the knob. They do brilliant chips, if you put plenty of oil on them. It’s a myth that air fryers are ‘fatless’ cooking.
They are fantastic for doing bacon and pork chops, but that’s not for Cassie’s mum.
You can get them for as little as $79 in Audi but I prefer the ones with knobs rather than an LED panel. I gave them to various rellies for Christmas, as they also keep the electricity bill dowecause you don’t have to heat up a whole oven to cook a small pie or piece of fish (air fryers also do perfect fish).
When the president of Argentina ripped the WEF globalists to their faces
We purchased our air fryer after staying with friends in Britain who had one; we were so impressed with the non-splatter cooking of the bacon.
Now we find we use the air fryer for some aspect of nearly every meal.
They are so handy. Not for everything, no good for steak, and like a microwave, you have to find what they are and are not useful for, but every kitchen should have one.
Sometimes this august forum gives me a good belly laugh and last’s night turgid nonsense from John H was yet another example, particularly this pearl….
” I have even seen an interview with a highly respected US military analyst describe Catallaxy as a forum espousing huge amounts of conspiracy theories and stupid ideas. “
A corker! I must admit to being rather dubious about such a claim about this site but it did give me a good laugh, and it’s always good to laugh. Am I alone in thinking that if a so called ‘highly respected US military analyst’ did make such a claim, he/she were probably talking about Dash Catallaxy, a once noble site that most of us would not have fled in horror and terror had it not officially plummeted into Mariana Trench levels of Jew hating conspiracies and stupid ideas. The last time I looked at Dash Cat, now about four weeks ago, it’s pretty clear that it has become stuck/lodged at the bottom of a Mariana Trench of ‘conspiracies and stupid ideas’.
By the way I love it how John H rises up to nobly defend an offensive dribbling commentator who comes here to peddle real conspiracies and stupid ideas, that commentator called “Mark Bolton”. Bolton comes here and when he’s not dribbling incoherent crap, he posts offensive 7/10 conspiracies and stupid ideas currently being promulgated by the likes of perpetual adolescents Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate.

John H, I am sorry you feel exasperated with this blog and feel an outsider here. You are not that and shouldn’t get upset at either imagined or real slights. I know me saying that might not sound right, because I can get upset here too (with real cause, but I guess I would say that, wouldn’t I?), but as Dr. BG says, we are a motley lot and don’t necessarily have to fall over liking each other. I continue on here because, as I’ve said, decent and intelligent people comment here, and I think I say some useful things that some appreciate. Some lurkers or tick (dick) manipulators also seem to be active without a word to say for themselves. I enjoy some of your insights on human biology etc. Keep commenting. Leave Bolton to his own devices, he is rather a sad case not doing himself any favours being here.

Also, excellent point made by Rosie. Pretty sure there aren’t too many of the types here who dictate it’s my way or the highway and demonise you if you only subscribe to a small portion of the preferred route. I too am not a MAGA disciple, but the single package called Trump has qualities that the US needs. I don’t think anyone else fits the bill.
I hope and pray that his security is top notch. I have every expectation that a serious attempt will be made on his life this year. I also don’t think the US will tolerate the mayhem of 2020 again. If they do, they’re sunk, as resistance to the thugs must be grassroots and widespread.
As for the ballot itself, there will be widespread fiddling. Some of it will be as blatant as 2020, if not worse. But this time I hope Republican scrutiny will be a sight more robust.

I like Dover’s Cat much better than the old Cat. After reading so much about economics on the old Cat I was none the wiser. Maybe a dummy but it seemed economics is financial politics. People only take out of it the bits they want. Reality takes over sooner or later, usually like the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff. What we have seen over the last 5 years is politicians will do anything, people will follow and no thoughts of economics nor reality till reality comes knocking.
So much of left-wing thought is a kind of playing with fire by people who don’t even know that fire is hot.

A few typos, but that just validates that I have not yet been replaced by electronic means.
Same as at all Fox News programs where only Gutfeld refuses to comply.
It isn’t plain speaking that is at issue. It is the abuse and generalisations about various groups of people. My point was that this forum does nothing to promote the politics people here espouse because hurling abuse is not persuasive. It is a contradictory stance to constantly assert the need for a particular political philosophy and engage in rhetoric which does nothing to promote that philosophy.
Maybe a dummy but it seemed economics is financial politics.
Yep! .. I remember ye olde dayz .. way back around 2019 when balancing budgets/surpluses ect were considered a big, deal then came BAT FLU and printing money to suit political agendas became the norm …..!
At least I found out there what Keynsian economics was and why it was nonsense as an integrated system that was supposed to hold everything together.
And Hayek’s ideas did seem to make more sense of economic processes, and yes, that meant financial politics of another sort to Keynes.
But it was the Pizza debates that really kept the site alive. 🙂
I have stayed at the Trump hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, DC. As the Orange Man was want to say, it was the most luxurious hotel, well at least at which I stayed. Though never worked out how to use the coffee maker so just went to the hotel restaurant instead.
The issue is moot because most people who aren’t conservative don’t come here.
I am not conservative.
Libertarian-anarchist-techno optimist maybe.
But definitely not conservative.
PS, I souvenired a face washer from the Trump hotel. Pity it has since been sold and is called something else now. Even a billionaire couldn’t keep a money losing asset that was being boycotted by anyone who wanted to do business in DC. I’m comforted by the fact that it was where Mitch McConnell fell down the stairs, the old swamp creature would only go there once it no longer belonged to Trump.
I’m not sure, John H, that any particular political philosophy is ardently pursued here. Liberalism, for instance, comes in for quite a bashing, but sheer conservatism for its own sake is not argued for too often either. Plenty of liberatrians are happy to dip an oar in, and conservatives come in many different shades and want to hold or to or lose many different traditional things. I always admired that MK50 could proudly announce that he he was an Imperialist. I too have some leanings towards believing that the British Empire was not all bad. There’s wiggle room here.
If anything binds us together, I’d say that most here are ardent historians – we enjoy chewing over the past. And disagreeing mightily about that at times. As well as prognosticating on current woes and future possibilities for corrections. 🙂
We seem to incline more to Trump than against, him, but then, look who is going that way these days (JP Morgan CEO) and one has to say, who doesn’t incline more to Trump in 2024? Even Fraser Nelson and the British Speccie (never fans) have to ‘admit’ things in his favour.
I wouldn’t say that but when so much politics is about changing the effect of markets it might appear so.
This lie has been Goebbelsed so often that it is a clear example of the “Big Lie” effect.

I think that this site is a mix of conservative, classical Liberals and libertarians. I would never ever describe the likes of Bern, Dr BG, Dot, JC, Johanna and others as ‘conservative’. I think people like myself, Lizzie, Rosie, Calli, Tinta and others here are a mix of conservatism and libertarianism. We don’t care what consenting adults do behind closed doors, but what is rightly peeving us off is that now becoming compulsory, we are increasingly living under a tyranny of the minority.
But there are things we are all in unanimous agreement about, I don’t recall anyone here supporting compulsory jabbing, or vaccination mandates and so on, and almost ALL of us were RIGHTLY outraged at the Pell lynching.

The “oldest living culture on the planet” is that of the San Bushmen of Southern Africa – in existence for over 100,000 years.
Correct. Humankind did not originate in Australia. It originated in Africa. This nonsense about the ‘oldest living culture on the planet’ is actually racist towards Africans.
And still being lived, essentially unchanged, by many San. How many Australian aborigines live anything remotely resembling their original “culture”?
And the people thereof are the narod (pl. narodi).
On supercontinents, it goes Rodinia (went pop back into itself) Pangea (broke up) into Laurasia and Gondwana.
And then the two supercontinents broke up again into what resembles the earth right now.
Which is slowly but surely reforming into another vast landmass.
Almost as if it’s alive.
Wonder if vegans would eat lab grown meat.

Which meaning of “sack”?
Agreed.
I am sick of rich people telling me how to live!
I must admit I’ll be interested to see how the Teals fare next year. Watch them only target Liberal seats. However, I suspect that they’ve reached their high water mark and I reckon Big Spender, Stink, Zoo Daniel, Fatso Ryan and the other one in Curtin whose name I always forget, will be gonski.
And if reelected and Labor loses seats in QLD and WA (which will happen), watch Labor form a minority government with the Teals and the Greens.
A nightmare scenario.
“Australia is a melting pot of cultures and peoples, and Melbourne is a shining example of this.”
Yes, it has ratbags from every corner of the globe.
The Pintupi Nine walked out of the Gibson desert in 1984, lured by reports by relatives of the material advantages of western culture.
I’d venture to say they were the last.
100%. Useful idiots abound, believing Hamas is not Palli Gaza. With the exception of a near invisible minority (being generous) Hamas has the full support of Gaza’s Palli inhabitants. A major reason why their Arab bro’s don’t want a bar of them.
I would be surprised if Chaney gets back in Curtin. But then, I was wrong last time. No SloMo for 3 years will be a huge plus next time around.
Once the Lieborals lost Churchlands to an independent at State level it took them 20 years to get it back. The situation was not quite analogous as it was seen as Canberra Lieborals trying to dictate to the locals which never goes down well in WA.

I checked out AI suggesting “time” has a looser definition than just relarivity.
Here:
Seeing this reference to the Rodina reminded me that some have noted that the youth of western nations, are now reluctant to join the armed forces in peacetime, and probably also in war. What then would happen should an emergency arise?
As for our “leaders”(using the term in the broadest possible sense), I suspect that they would emulate Stalin in late June 1941. Their first reaction would be a nervous breakdown, followed by withdrawing from public view for a time. Then, they would follow Stalin’s example.
Stalin did not come out and call on Soviets to defend communism, he appealed to their patriotism, to defend Mother Russia, the Rodina. Our leaders would probably appeal to the “Spirit of ANZAC”, and for mass enlistments (forgetting the limited availability of weapons and equipment).
What would the people do? Probably emulate the Russians of 1941, enlist, and do the best they could with what they had. And after, if the defence was successful, it would be time for a reckoning with the AnAls, Burkes, Wongs, Turnbulls, Photioses, Bandts and all the others who failed to do their mast basic duty, to prepare an adequate defence.
As Rabz would say, HOP time.

Not only does the self-serve checkout sound alarms when you scan more than two of these items, but the cameras over the top also check to see if a) you’re scanning non-carrot items as carrots, and b) whether you’re trying to sneak off with extra items – which I found out about because I had missed a small $2 pack of plastic spoons.

I would be surprised if Chaney gets back in Curtin. But then, I was wrong last time. No SloMo for 3 years will be a huge plus next time around.
As was I, Bear. I also didn’t think Big Spender would get up. I was wrong. But when I think about the five months prior to the May 2022 election, when the electorate drenched in Teal colours, placards and posters, I shouldn’t have been so glib. Svengali Simon spent a fortune targeting Liberal electorates and it was Teal, Teal, Teal everywhere.
However, I do think (in fact I know) many people here in Wentworth were nagged/badgered/coerced into voting for Big Spender. There was a lot of pressure.
I think a lot of men voted for her just to shut their wives up. A lot of Jews voted for her and I’m pretty sure they won’t vote for again. Spender’s a vacuous bimbo, a monumental bimbo and fraud.
The Teal movement/party is a cult. Having said that, I don’t think the Liberals should rely on these vacuous Teal electorates at election time, they need to look elsewhere.
Australia is heading for a manufacturing wasteland as local suppliers forced to shut up shop, lay off workers in the name of Labor’s green insanity
Australia has reached a grim milestone in its proud manufacturing history as one local company after another is crippled amid soaring energy prices and Labor’s green insanity, writes Nick Cater.
SkyNews.com.au Contributor and Political Commentator
Australia will pass a grim anniversary in the history of manufacturing this weekend.
The last ream of Australian-made white copy paper rolled off the production line at the Maryville mill near Traralgon in eastern Victoria on January 21 last year.
The last batch of Australian-manufactured Reflex copy paper meant 150 green redundancies – jobs lost as a direct result of government-driven decisions.
The mill’s owners, Opal Australia, struggled to find timber after the Supreme Court of Victoria shut down critical operations of VicForests last year.
Litigants Environment East Gippsland and Kinglake Friends of the Forest were responsible for the action.
Still, it merely accelerated the Andrews Labor government’s decision to phase out native timber logging by 2030.
Like all manufacturing companies, Opal Australia was under pressure from energy costs, which are rising under Labor’s plan to reduce carbon emissions at breakneck speed.
Rising energy costs have been punishing companies like Trident Plastics, which has been doing its best to encourage recycling by manufacturing red, yellow and green-topped wheelie bins at its factory in Adelaide.
Yet the plastic injection moulding process is inescapably energy-hungry.
Plastic pellets must be heated to high temperatures for melting and moulding. Producing an average 120-litre bin requires around 250 kWh of electricity.
South Australia currently boasts the highest proportion of wind and solar power of any mainland state, but it is also the most expensive.
Last June, Trident went into receivership placing the jobs of 160 South Australians at risk.
Should the company close, wheelie bins must be imported from interstate, adding to their carbon footprint.
Wheelie bin manufacturers are just small fry in the growing number of companies struggling to make a profit with rising input costs.
The phased shutdown of Alcoa’s Kwinana alumina refinery in WA will put 550 people out of work by the third quarter of this year with a knock-on effect in the local community.
It would not be unduly harsh to say things are not going according to plan for Anthony Albanese’s government, which came to power with an energy policy based on catastrophically faulty modelling.
Slashing power bills by $275 was not the only benefit Albanese claimed would flow from its plan to cut carbon emissions.
We were also told there would be 604,000 new green jobs, with four out of five in the regions.
That promise rings hollow for workers in the growing number of businesses sent to the wall by rising energy costs.
Advance Bricks is closed its business at Stawell, Victoria in 2022 after 82 years in business.
The company, which employed 23 people, faced a rise in the price of gas from $6-to-$8 a gigajoule to more than $37.
Australian-manufactured toilet paper, kitchen rolls and tissues may soon join our copy paper as a distant memory as the Sorbent Paper Company struggles to cope with a 300 per cent rise in the cost of gas.
Last year, the company called for volunteers for redundancy in preparation for the closure and offshoring of some operations at its Box Hill, Victoria plant.
Sorbent napkins are now made overseas, and the manufacture of facial tissues at Box Hill will end early this year.
Facial tissue manufacturing at Greystanes, Sydney, has also been moved offshore, although Sorbent has committed to retain as many Australian manufacturing jobs as it can under difficult circumstances.
The notion that Labor’s 43 per cent emissions reduction target for 2030 would reduce the cost of energy and create jobs flies in the face of common sense.
The rapid decarbonisation of our electricity grids requires hundreds of billions of dollars of new investment, which must be recouped over time in taxes or power prices.
Rising energy prices and the tight supply in the gas sector would inevitably lead to job losses, starting with those in heavy industry that could be easily located in countries with lower energy prices and less stringent environmental regulations.
In 2019, environmental economist Brian Fisher conducted some of the most comprehensive modelling of the flow-on effects of reducing carbon emissions.
He found that Labor’s then target of a 45 percent reduction in emissions by 2030 would lead to a contraction of the entire economy and cause particular pain to the manufacturing sector.
He forecasted a 15.8 percent contraction in the manufacture of chemicals, rubber, and plastic and a 9.3 percent reduction in the manufacture of non-metallic goods.
He forecast a loss of 336,000 jobs economy wide.
The then Labor leader Bill Shorten scoffed at Mr Fisher’s report, accusing it of being politically driven and falsely claiming the fossil fuel industry had financed it.
Yet a little more than half-way through the Albanese government’s first time, Mr Fisher’s modelling looks close to the mark.
The promise of lower energy prices and a glut of green jobs now sits with the fairies at the bottom of the garden.

Team Nikki Haley Has Spent $30 Million on New Hampshire Media Ads, but President Trump Still Dominates
January 20, 2024 – Sundance
Good grief, talk about burning cash…. According to Politico, the three corporate super PACs and the Nikki Haley campaign have spent almost $30 million in New Hampshire on ad buys.
Three super PACs backing Haley — SFA Fund (aka Randal and Barbara Smith, Alden Global Capital), Americans for Prosperity (aka Charles Koch) and Independents Moving the Needle (aka Jonathan Bush, the cousin of former President George W. Bush, billionaire CEO Frank Laukien, and Big Pharma) have spent more than $24 million across TV, radio and digital ads targeting New Hampshire, according to data from AdImpact, an ad tracking platform. Haley’s own campaign has chipped in another $4.7 million.
No wonder you failed Economics 1, you misspelled “Biden’s”.

Compared to my scummy greenie BiL whose mate ended up with the greens coz every other party wanted nothing to do with him, would spout whatever to get elected and eventually did. Grifter.

A 2024 Woke-to-English Translation Guide
Among the left’s worst chicanery is its incessant manipulation of language. Like the totalitarians envisioned by George Orwell, the left today uses language for political and social control.
Leftists regularly coopt benign-sounding words and infuse them with woke meaning that eludes many Americans who aren’t paying close enough attention to discern their duplicitous sleight-of-hand.
My goal here is to reveal some of this linguistic chicanery so Americans can be crystal clear about what the left really means when it uses these opaque terms.
Here’s a humble start to help readers accurately translate from woke to English in 2024:
Antiracism: Opposition to people of European descent. Leftists argue that hatred of people not of European descent is baked into those who are. By leftist definition, therefore, those who oppose such deplorable people are antiracists. In other words, antiracism as used by the left has nothing to do with opposing racism.
Antizionism: Jew-hatred. The claimed distinction between antizionism and antisemitism is merely the latest fraud on the part of Jew-haters to mask their true animus. Dennis Prager recently explained this. We must be prepared to counter this odious deceit.
Equity: Marxism. The crux of every political system derived from the writings of Karl Marx – whether denominated communism, socialism, national socialism, democratic socialism, fascism, progressivism, leftism, or just plain Marxism – is aggressive centralized control by self-anointed experts purportedly to manipulate desirable societal outcomes. With their “equity agenda” modern leftists simply have devised new terminology for the same old Marxist drivel. Worse, they deceptively picked a word that sounds like “equality” – a pillar value supported by all Americans – so many folks don’t realize that these homophones actually are antonyms.
– Existential: Threatening to leftists.
– Occupation: Israel.
– Voter suppression: Voter identification.
– White supremacy: Western Civilization.
Leftists crow a lot about colonialization.
In my view, the most egregious colonialization today is the left’s takeover of the English language.
So let’s decolonize our mother tongue.
I wonder how long it will take to ferret out the CCP funding of these people and their organisations?
Americans Say Trump Should Seek Revenge on Dems In Second Term
A recent CBS News/YouGov survey found that the majority of Americans think Trump should seek revenge on his political opponents should he secure a second term in the White House.
Fifty-five percent of supporters believe the former president should criminally charge those trying to destroy him, with three in ten non-Trump supporters agreeing.
On the contrary, 45 percent of voters said Trump should not seek Justice in that way, with most non-Trump voters— 70 percent— also agreeing.
This week, Trump addressed the question at hand, saying that he won’t have time to seek revenge on those who crossed him because he will be too busy building America back together.
“First of all, a lot of people would say that that’s not so bad. Look what they did: Russia Russia, Russia hoax. The FBI. Twitter hoax. The 51 intelligence agents hoax. All of these different hoaxes that they did. I mean, you know, a lot of people would say, that’s probably quite normal,” Trump said.
“I’m not going to have time for retribution.
We’re going to make this country so successful again; I’m not going to have time for retribution.
And remember this: Our ultimate retribution is success.”
Knuckles, I bought some leb eggplant from woolies recently. Inadvertently I clicked the ordinary eggplant picture. Checkout goes into spaz mode. Back out, did it again. Same thing. Called the lady over, she did the same thing. The I noticed I selected the wrong picture. All good. The I wondered had it been the other way round would it have accepted it coz the leb eggplant was $1.50/kg dearer.
Update on this morning. It appears it was something to do with Cloudflare. Once I paused it and purged the cache everything was back to normal.
If Trump doesn’t clean out the Marxist vermin in the DoJ/FBI and CIA and make serious inroads into the bias of the MSM at a minimum, his next term will eventually become meaningless.

Visionless!
Zelensky’s peace proposal and Biden’s lack of vision ensure war persists in Ukraine.
TIPPINSIGHTS EDITORIAL BOARD
After being a globe-trotter for over a year, shaming the world’s nations to support Ukraine or else, President Zelensky of Ukraine arrived this week in Davos, Switzerland, to talk peace.
“We need peace in the world,” he said. “Peace in Ukraine means peace in Europe. It means peace in the world.”
It was a remarkable turnaround for a leader who, just in December, was pressuring the White House and reluctant Members of Congress to pass a $61 billion weapons package. That request has stalled as the GOP House Speaker has refused to take the proposal up unless it is paired with securing America’s southern border, which the Biden administration is loath to do.
With former President Trump routing his rivals in Iowa, winning 98 out of 99 counties and earning a majority of the caucus vote, Ukraine’s chances of eliciting further American support to fight a proxy war are perilous.
The average American’s support for Ukraine was high during Russia’s initial invasion. But they grew skeptical as the Biden administration’s goalposts moved with an “as-long-as-it-takes” war. Biden never asked for Congressional approval. No one defined what victory meant:
According to the Harvard Kennedy School’s Russia-Ukraine War Report Card of December 2023, Russia currently occupies 25,000 square miles, about 20% of Ukraine, nearly 9,000 square miles more than before the Feb 2022 invasion.
[At the war’s peak, Russia had occupied almost 54,000 square miles, but Ukraine won 29,000 square miles back].
American taxpayers have sent $110 billion in weapons and logistical support to help Ukraine – yet the report card shows that Ukraine has lost nearly 13% more territory than it had when Russia first invaded.
The hard truth is that Russia prevailed, and Ukraine and the West lost.
Most reasonable people would conclude that this conflict was also a huge loss for America’s international prestige as gauged by our Standing In The World Index.
America led Europe and the G7 nations by employing every resource at its disposal, including applying intense diplomatic pressure that even caused rifts with the countries of the Global South and passing more than 2,500 financial sanctions on Russia, many of which were routinely violated.

I refer you all to Tennis/Airbus Elbow and the promises made by Feral LayBore –
This is from 2023 –
“When Labor came to Government last year, we knew Australia was facing a period of economic uncertainty. Unpredictable events outside our control have caused real challenges. But Labor won’t shy away from the challenge.
And in Anthony Albanese we have a Prime Minister who shows up, takes responsibility, and works with people to fix problems.
We know Australians are doing it tough right now. That’s why helping Australians with the cost of living, without adding pressure to inflation, is this Government’s top priority.
The Albanese Labor Government is working for Australia by:
• Supporting Australians with the cost of living with cheaper childcare, cheaper medicines, extended paid parental leave, energy bill relief and fee free TAFE.
• Investing record amounts into Medicare and bulk billing.
• Building new homes, investing in affordable housing and making renting fairer.
• Tackling climate change by legislating to reduce emissions.
• Managing the economy and creating jobs in challenging times.

I follow Peter Dutton on FB and several times a week he is out meeting with small business owners*, listening to their problems and always thanking them for their contribution to the economy.
*Business owners, 1,600 of whom have lost their livelihoods (along with all their employees) during the past six months of this Labor Government. A disgrace, but hardly a peep from media and certainly nothing from Albanese.
Amazing to think that Britain was once the factory of the world.
That was when the World population was around 1.2 Billion people and when Britain had an Empire.
