Ok, how do you post pictures?
I tried with the “Attach an image to this comment” button. Got an orange box saying “loading” or something like that – but no post.
Shapiro is utterly insufferable. He’s not himself deeply flawed, just like the rest of us? Why does he have to tag that onto a statement that he’ll vote for Trump? Such a tedious, moralistic poser.
If Ben Shapiro had his druthers, Dan Crenshaw would be the GOP nominee.
And why is Trump so deeply flawed, incidentally? Some epic pearl-clutching going on there. I’d say that, as a human being, Trump is a lot less flawed than the average politician and certainly the average POTUS.

The usual apologies if this has been mentioned above, but I’ve just stumbled on an interesting item in a Powerline article. The following is from a U.K. art gallery (via the Brit Telegraph, I think?) describing its Constable paintings on display:
… this national sentiment comes with “the implication that only those with a historical tie to the land have a right to belong”.
If I understand this correctly: Western Europeans claiming a long kinship to their land is ‘dark’, racist, and supremacist, but Australian Aboriginals claiming a long, exclusive, kinship to their land (intimating that sharing with newcomers is not an option) is natural, ‘just’ and acceptable?

As would I, you pathetic excuse for a human bean.
It’s long been the official narrative of the Arts Industrial Elite that valuable art only comes from valuable people- homosexual, swarthy, mentally ill, vagina’ed. And it’s long been their narrative that art which has come to our attention through the twin fires of objective beauty and the open marketplace of ideas is illegitimate.
In the same way that our betters have been telling us that putting a velvet rope around a c*m-stained bed is the height of craft and intellect, they’ll try to tell us that a plein air Turner- a bloke who had the globe-leading idea of painting what it felt like to have sea spray in your eyes whithin a storm- actually contains sub-conscious instructions to burn down the kebab shop on the corner that the Pakis run.

Handy tips for travellers.
If you should happen to have your credit card stolen by pickpockets and don’t have a back up debit Mastercard, you can get one in a couple of business days and use it via Google wallet. You can also send yourself cash from a savings account via Western Union though that also takes one or two days because the bank has to join the party.
For instant cash at a Western union counter, get a family member at home to send it via an on line account.
All these options presume you still have your phone and a valid form of ID.
Congrats and thanks Dover. This is an excellent enhancement.

James Campbell:
<blockquote>It’s been four months since the High Court blew a hole in the hull of the nation’s border-protection policies and it’s becoming increasingly clear that far from being repaired, the scale of the damage has still to be assessed.
At short notice on Friday morning, Canberra press gallery journalists were summoned to a briefing from the ABF’s top brass, Home Affairs Minister Clare O’Neil and Immigration Minister Andrew Giles.
The briefing was a nice change of pace from the government, showing it understands it needs to get ahead of things rather than waiting to be mugged by events.
Most urgently, the thing it needs to lay groundwork for is the coming High Court case that will decide whether about 150 more people in immigration detention are also released.
No one should predict how these things will turn out, but the government is “not sanguine” about its chances of victory.
But it isn’t just next month’s court case that’s causing the government a headache — the cases flowing from the High Court’s NZYQ decision and the legislation that has since been put in place are likely to roll on for another three years.
Which perhaps explains why on Friday, O’Neil told The Weekend Australian: “The High Court has drawn new boundaries around the powers of the executive and parliament. And there continues to be uncertainty about exactly where those boundaries will ultimately be drawn when it comes to key aspects of migration law.”
Translation: “It ain’t me – the judges made this mess and they’re not finished yet.”
Is the minister right? The answer to that question is complicated.
On the face of it, the answer is “yes, it wasn’t the government that ruled indefinite detention was a no-no, it was the court”.
But if you talk to people on both sides of politics, there’s a bit more to it than that.
Though the government was angered in November at the way the High Court handed down its decision on the spot without giving its reasons, the outcome was no surprise.
Apparently for years it had been a fairly well established view among the learned friends that whenever the High Court got a chance to rule on it, it was bound to knock out indefinite detention for criminals who cannot be deported either to their country of origin or a third party.
Which is why earlier governments had been careful to make sure the court never got to hear a case that gave them that opportunity, even going so far as to release people they would have preferred stayed locked up. In other words, to protect the community from a flood of dangerous foreign criminals, it was from time to time necessary to release dangerous foreign criminals into the community.
Madness, I know, but the law is the law. So why didn’t Giles just follow the same procedure in NZYQ, that is to say, hold his nose while granting a visa? The opposition hints darkly the reason is that as a socialist Left Victorian who opposed boat turn-backs, Giles has never believed in indefinite detention and knew exactly what he was doing when he allowed the case to reach the High Court.
A more charitable view is that no immigration minister under the sun could release a child rapist and hope to survive politically.
As I said, the purpose of Friday’s briefing seems to have been to prepare us for the news that the nasties released so far are a good chance to end up being just the first batch. The management of these people will be a matter for Giles.
O’Neil’s problem is that in telegraphing that uncertainty here is likely to last years, she is cutting across her main job, which is deterring more asylum seekers from making the dangerous journey by boat.
So while “we’re not really in charge here, the courts are” might be a winning line in domestic politics, it’s hard to think of a better argument for people smugglers too. </blockquote>
If the Opposition is correct on their hunch is because the release of these people is due to the own personal politics of Giles, then he must go.
As for Chesty Blonde, she may as well just say “the sugar is back on the table baby!”

Nielsen singlehandedly makes Sky’s American political coverage a joke.
Yet more testing..
… lone white male …

From the America’s Political Realignment article linked by Indolent at 0840. mUnturd is a classic example of those who “live inside the political bubble”. The Great Reversal proceeds, and those too blind to see fall behind.
Quick check before checking out for the day.
TCC Mayoral race, wow Hill actually has a battle on her hands. 2000 odd votes behind dodgy ex PHON dude and the ex nurses preferences likely to be king maker.
My riding, ex ALP Paul Jacob beat off Ryder. Rest of the council still looks like the Team Hill (ALP front) will still hold the balance of power with 6 out of 10 seats.
My vessel is healthy.

She’s a smug kunt with a snake’s smile. Bolta stupidly has her on as an authority. He’s a dope and she’s been seduced by the media swamp in the US.
Last test…

Penny Wong marries longtime partner
Foreign Minister Penny Wong celebrated her wedding to longtime partner Sophie Allouache on Saturday afternoon with a traditional lion dance, in a nod to her Malaysian-Chinese heritage.
Topping the guest list at Adelaide Hills winery Bird in Hand was soon-to-be-wed Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and his partner, Jodie Haydon.
For the ceremony, Senator Wong wore a red tuxedo and Ms Allouache wore a classic A-line gown with a lace bodice.
The wedding was a personal milestone in Senator Wong’s public campaign for marriage equality – she famously wept in 2017 when she learned Australians had voted to legalise same-sex marriage.
In a statement to the Sunday Mail, the couple said: “We are delighted that so many of our family and friends could share this special day with us.”
Several of Senator Wong’s ministerial and Senate colleagues attended, with Health Minister Mark Butler and former SA premier Jay Weatherill believed to have been among guests.
The couple’s two daughters, Alexandra, 12, and Hannah, 8, were flower girls for the ceremony.
Senator Wong and Ms Allouache met in 2007, six years after the Foreign Minister was first elected to the Senate. Ms Allouache is a public servant.

We lost faith in Congress long ago. It’s become nothing more than a get-rich-quick swamp for stock speculator party hacks. Our current president is “Big Guy” bag man Joseph Biden (enough said). Our last vestige of hope was our courts. Never have they been so partisan or corrupt.
Just what they need. Unbelievable.
