Winston’s pyramid of Greens skulls that he used to use as an avatar seem apt.

This is utopia as administered by fanatics.

The former chair of the now-disbanded Jan. 6 committee introduced a bill Friday that would strip Secret Service protection of any former executive convicted of a felony — an effort to avoid the complications of incarcerating former President Trump should he be ordered to serve jail time.

They’re not saying they want to give Orange Man the Epstein treatment.
They’re just saying they want to prevent anyone protecting him in jail!
See, totally different statement!
LOL

That’s it for me Cats, it’s been cool.

My personal favourite…

TheirABC promotes the further watering-down of accountability of politicians in favour of trendyism:

Mum of three Bronwen Bock had never considered entering politics until a longtime friend came to her with an interesting proposition. 
Would she like to run for parliament together as a single candidate? 
That was late 2022, and on Saturday, Ms Bock and Lucy Bradlow began their campaign to be Australia’s first political job-share candidates. 
Running on a platform of action on climate change, integrity in politics and reducing cost-of-living pressures, they hope to be elected as independents in the Melbourne seat of Higgins at the next federal election.

and

“Parliament should be like any other workplace, where it’s possible to work flexibly, job share, and therefore have different faces of leadership.“
Ms Bradlow, a political communications specialist and former lawyer, said job sharing won’t just open doors for working parents. 
She said it could boost political opportunities for people from many different backgrounds and walks of life — such as women, people with disability and carers — to “have a say on the policies that actually impact their lives”.

Best of all

As for disagreements, the lifelong friends say they fundamentally have the same views, but a pre-written conflict resolution strategy will help them navigate any issues. 
“We’ll have an organised system in place, organised conversations and mechanisms to work through [like] you would in any other corporate environment,” Ms Bock said. 
They expect challenges but are confident they can manage them because they’re doing it together.

FMD.

In this era of party politics, it is often forgotten that voters elect an individual to represent them – which is why an MP doesn’t have to resign if he/she leaves his/her party.

Not only that, the ‘what happens if’ questions arising from this absurd proposal are surely enough to blow it out of the water.

Hell, why not elect a collective to represent a seat? Or a family?

Anything goes at TheirABC.

it’s being spun as MEs against MEs, you know…those excitable types, in those nasty South West Sydney ‘burbs.

Wow- retreating to postcode snobbery now. Of course so many of the political-meja class live on the nth shore or eastern suburbs and wouldn’t give a stuff about Minto or Penrith. Steggles and suspender belt being obvious examples.

61 billion for Ukraine.
That seems like a lot but we haven’t seen the final cost of Snowy 2.0 yet.

While Albo and the others sitting on their well-padded seats dream of EVs and solar panels and a new proletariat, the real economy is in deep trouble.

Anal,the old Scotch boys and the canbra pubes really hate us but they still want our money.

Vicplod leaps into action!

Hundreds of marijuana supporters attend picnic rally, 36 arrested at Melbourne park (20 Apr)

Police have swarmed on a pro-marijuana rally where hundreds where campaigning for the legalisation of the drug.

Obviously they were shouting the wrong slogans. The police don’t arrest people who shout those other slogans. And not a single burqa to be seen. There’s the problem right there they/thems.

I don’t admire them at all- I despise these psychopaths and grifters.

No need to pick scabs, Joh. Our host forbids it.

Meanwhile, the clouds have rolled away and the lake is just about full. Spoonbills are cooling their toes at the water’s edge. It looks like my solitary Mr Spooner has finally found a mate.

Miss Seven, who is here for a two night sleepover, is threading beads for a bracelet for Mum for Mother’s Day. We stitched a purse yesterday so they can go in that.

I have a stitching disciple. At last! 😀

 I don’t understand why the recording of the attack must be censored. The bishop is alive and so is the attacker. Letting everybody see the deed may revolt everybody and actually lead to constructive measures to stop any future attack.

Our wise rulers need to suppress the vision lest it wake some of us serfs up to the lie that is multiculturalism – its not about more food choices, its about:
1) increasing fear and division to justify more government surveillance and control
2) creating the illusion of economic growth by pumping up the absolute numbers – whilst the per capita numbers decline

The Uniparty is well and truly against free speech.

In today’s Oz.

Dutton’s pledge to crack down on social media giants

Peter Dutton has thrown his support behind tougher laws for social media platforms after X, formerly known as Twitter, challenged orders from the eSafety commissioner to remove graphic content from the site following two violent attacks in Sydney.

The Opposition Leader said there was “no question at all” about the need for greater action against social media companies after Chris Minns chided X and owner Elon Musk on Saturday for disregarding the “lies and disinformation” spread by the platform.

“I think there is a bipartisan position in relation to this,” Mr Dutton said.

“We know that the companies – and we’ve seen some of the comments from Elon Musk overnight – they see themselves as above the law and the Australian law should apply equally in the real world as it does online.

“You would be sued for defamation and you would be taken before the courts under various acts for publishing some of that (content) which freely flows on the internet.

“The online safety act has significant powers in it, we passed it when we were in government and it needs to be enforced. If the laws are inadequate or need to be strengthened or added to, then we would support any effort from the government,” he said. 

The opposition leader wouldn’t go as far as to say he would boycott social media, however.

“We will keep posting, but we won’t post misinformation or disinformation or violent images.”

I think they infiltrate and stack the state branches, then intervene when an “unsound” candidate emerges locally.

Yes I recall the Roseville branch of the LP wanted to expel Trumble but that went nowhere of course. I really could be bothered belonging to a LP branch anymore WOFTM. Supporting Advance seems to be the way to go- keep people like P Dut on the straight and narrow that way.

From cohenite’s comment at 9:32 a.m.:

You have to admire the focus of the left; motivated by their implacable sense of virtuous superiority they don’t stop until they control the institutions and destroy their opponents.

Replace ‘admire’ with ‘observe’ or ‘study’ and the comment makes perfect sense. Unfortunately, all conservatives seem willing and able to do (with the usual, token, exceptions) is passively watch, and whine, and giggle like five year olds. In the meantime, the orcs and other creatures we so (rightly) despise, are actually setting goals and achieving them. But we delusional fools are content to stroke our egos and lament how it has ‘come to this’ as though we were not partly responsible for the decline.

Conservatives have failed. Not conservatism, but conservatives themselves. How many conservatives, here and elsewhere, are desperately hoping that Prince Trump will ride in on his gallant steed and rescue us, while our sole contribution will be to swoon, or to chastise him if anything goes wrong.

But, but, but! you will write; if you cannot put forward a comprehensive, resourced plan that can be implemented now without the risk of chipping a fingernail, you need to shut up, Muddy!

Yeah, yeah.
Pffft!

Sky News commentator Peta Credlin has taken aim at Anthony Albanese after a record number of immigrants were welcomed into Australia in just one month.

More than 100,000 immigrants came to Australia in February, after 765,900 arrived throughout last year, another all-time record.

The massive influx has raised fears it will strain the crippled housing and rental markets with new housing proposals being accepted at the lowest rate in 11 years.
This is despite the Albanese Government promising to bring immigration down to 300,000-per-year and build 250,000 homes.

Credlin said the inaction was also abetting social disharmony.

Ms Credlin, in her weekly column, said successive governments have ‘increasingly sent signals to migrants that the culture of the country they’re coming to is built on a history of shame, illegitimacy, and racism’.

‘Is it any wonder that some migrant communities become reluctant to integrate or insistent that Australia must change to accommodate their preferences, when weak officialdom will only fly our national flag apologetically, in company with two other flags representing people with a particular racial heritage?’ she wrote.

‘Or when our civic culture now seems to revolve around indigenous ancestor worship while denigrating the Judaeo-Christian basis of our fundamental institutions like the rule of law.’

She added that it is ‘hardly the fault of immigrants’ who chose to come to Australia, but that of governments who failed to ‘insist on (them) joining Team Australia’.

‘It’s way past time for governments at every level to start stressing unity over diversity, to rebuild a patriotic love of Australia, rather than to preside over the diminution of our national symbols, like Australia Day,’ she wrote.

Credlin claimed the 100,000 migrants who came to Australia was ‘significant’.

She compared the figure to the Howard government era where 110,000 migrants came on average every year during that period. 

‘It’s no secret then, why housing is unaffordable, wages are flat, and roads and public transport are clogged because that’s just what happens when you don’t have a population policy and instead, use migration as a way to make the budget bottom line look better than it really is,’ she wrote.

I don’t know if any Cats or Kittehs suffer from this dopamine overload due to the intensity of digital life, because many of us have reading habits from an earlier lifetime. But this is a good account of how digital addiction is affecting more recent generations – who can’t concentrate enough to read books any more.

Hope the link works here, my digital world is so limited that I can hardly function in the Cat’s new iteration.
