It was noted here before that the apathy of the people will let it pass.
Maybe a few hotheads cause some trouble, easily dealt with by willing law enforcement.
Exactly. The problem for conservatives / normal people is the line is never crossed. A new one is drawn.
The person who has done something about it has been found guilty of bogus charges. There is no other leader who can unify them to do something about it.
There is no other leader who…
Arguably, this obsession with a ‘knight in shining armour’ is one of the most destructive deficits of conservatives. Our opponents don’t depend upon one single, inspiring demi-god, so why do we?
As I’ve stated previously, I don’t believe that Trump is the warrior king. He is the berserker whose role is to sacrifice himself to give the rest of the band of warriors time to come up with – and execute – a more effective plan.

Please explain?
No more needed.

Thanks Tom.
My favourite…
Bother. Here.
And this one, just for the Trekkies…
From one of my feeds;
““We are now fighting a second War of Independence.” Ret. Gen. Yair Golan texted me yesterday: “But this time it is not over territory and not being fought by soldiers. Rather, this is a war over the soul of the State.” Golan just won a sweeping victory as the new head of the Labor party in Israel with the hopes of uniting the Zionist Left and growing its political influence.
Could this be the moment for the Zionist Left to rebuild and mobilize all those who are deeply alarmed by the current situation of illiberalism growing throughout Israeli society?
Could this be the moment for those who are alarmed by the risky rhetoric and dubious decisions of the current ruling government coalition, by the lack of a ‘day-after’ plan, and this government’s refusal to acknowledge that a Palestinian state will ever come into existence?
Could this be a moment for all those who protested and fought to preserve Israel’s democracy in the many months before the October 7 massacre, and who are relentless in advocating tirelessly for a deal with Hamas to redeem the captives?
Could this be the moment to unite together under a pro-democracy, liberal, pluralistic, and Zionist Party coalition?
While we cannot predict the future and we can’t know whether the current cabinet tumult will topple the government and bring about new elections, we can hope that those in favor of democracy, pluralism, and equality will unite for the sake of the State of Israel and the Jewish people.
Shabbat Shalom.”

I’m not sure this is the right time to ask for new elections.
Gabor:
Obviously Israel has a problem with a sector of their people incapable of reading the history of the Kurdish Workers Party (PKK) and its alliance with the Iranian Mullahs.
I am really worried about the political situation at the moment.
Militarily, they could’ve, should’ve squashed Hamas as early as the next day after the atrocity.
I have the feeling that the determination to survive at any cost that was there in the late 40s is lost.
I have no answers.

No comments yet so I’ve reposted it in hopes of getting some.
I’m not a legal beagle, but it’s just because …..
The difficulty with answering this question is that the crime of extortion no longer exists in most Australian jurisdictions (Qld being the exception). It’s been replaced with offences such as demanding property with intent and stealing with menaces and the actions of the students probably don’t fall into these categories. A charge of unwarranted demands of a public official might be closer to the mark.
Perplexed:
Licenced CC introduces uncertainty into the perpetrators calculations of mass murder. There are multiple examples of CC defenders stopping shooters prematurely.
This argument isn’t about a CC – it’s about making the populace defenceless against the criminal class.
I agree with you.
My point, perhaps unfortunately cryptic is that if it is known that people are well-armed and trained, but not necessarily identified, puts that doubt in the mind of a would-be mass shooter.
I would think that if you were the only open carrying person in the room, the shooter would have to go for you first. If everyone is concealed carrying, then they won’t know where the reply comes from.
I’d rather not be the first target.
And it seems that those Democrat run places with the toughest gun laws have the highest rate of gun crime because the crims know their targets are not likely to be armed if they are law-abiding.
Conversely, those places with the least gun laws and open carry have the least gun crime and the person not open carrying is probably concealed carrying.
Your point stands good sir! And I hope we could find a solution to it here in Oz.
Can a resident legal beagle please explain the difference between these pro-h@m@s camp-ins (and associated pressure campaign, including written demands), and the legal definition of extortion, as the latter applies in Australian jurisdictions?
Its not extortion when you allow yourself to be “forced” to take actions you want too, but need the cover of another group to avoid the consequences.
Much like Labor and the greens, “Oh no the greens have forced us to be economically irresponsible, boo hoo”…

Postmodernism and Its Impact, Explained.
Helen Pluckrose outlines some of the arguments later explored in depth in her bestselling 2020 book, Cynical Theories (co-authored with James Lindsay).

If you want to understand how we got to a place where microaggressions are denounced as violence but the brutal terrorism of an intifada is considered righteous, this is an important primer.
Yesterday in London there was a huge rally but you won’t read about it in the MSM, and if you do the rally and its attendees will be smeared as ‘far-right’ and ‘raaaaacist’.

Yesterday in London there was a huge rally but you won’t read about it in the MSM, and if you do the rally and its attendees will be smeared as ‘far-right’ and ‘raaaaacist’.
I did read a bout it but everything else you said is correct:
Tommy Robinson marchers lead Anti-Muslim chant in London demo | The Independent
Defence minister Richard Marles, in China for talks with Labor’s allies in the Chinese Communist Party, says he won’t object to China’s confrontations on the high seas with Australia service personnel because “it’s not what adults do”. FMD
Tom, it’s being reported that Marles has indeed raised those matters in a 45 minute meeting with his Chinese counterpart in Singapore.
Yes, this is what was reported.
Roger, I would like to see a transcript of the Richard Marles interview with Sky News this morning. The reporting by The Australian today does not include much of what I was hearing from Marles.
How about we put Marles on the focsle of the next RAN vessel the ChiComs decided to screw around with and see how he feel about being an expendable tripwire?
An adult one of course.
You know that everything the elites like cannot be harmful because they just know better. Trust them.
So what he is saying is that Albo sent him to China to crawl to Xi not to stop accepting our exports until after the election. Albo needs that part of the economy off the front pages until then. It seems it’s easier to do that then tell the Greens to stop menacing the live sheep and cattle exports.
Sky News could save themselves a lot of money by simply replaying CNN’s comments on the Trump trial instead of paying Annelise Nielsen to report from the US. Her reports are hardly insightful or even impartial, she is just a pretty airhead.
I might as well have been watching the ABC this morning when Sky’s Andrew Clennell gave defence minister Richard Marles a free ride for 15 minutes, then constantly interrupted and talked over the LNP shadow home affairs minister James Patterson.
The smirker Clennell who is often corrected with facts, by Peta Credlin. No love lost there.
Annelese is another waste of space, leftie smirker too.
Fat head clennell and that infuriating bimbecile nielsen epitomise everything that is wrong, wrong, wrong with the braindead lamestream meeja.
Turning Japanese a good sub alternative
By Top Ender
Australia’s submarine program staggers along, rather like an aged pensioner who wants to keep working.
The latest pedestrian bollard into which it has crashed is an assessment of the proposal to extend the life of the current six Collins-class vessels, the last of which entered the water in 2003.
The review, by former US navy deputy assistant secretary Gloria Valdez, says the government-owned submarine company ASC lacks the design and engineering experience to extend the life of the submarines for a decade.
It’s hardly surprising. The Collins boats would literally be pulled apart, including cutting the hulls open in a process which is supposed to take two years each. The cost is an airy $5billion Aus. Given ASC’s expertise since it last put a vessel in the water is limited to maintaining the six Collins boats, it has a steep climb ahead if it is to reach the heights of such expert upgrading.
But why go down the road of experimenting with boats now 20-plus years old anyway? The current cost of a Japanese S?ry?-class conventional attack submarine is approximately US$540 million. So for around $3.3 billion the country could have six brand new capable and proved submarines, with up to date technology.
What’s this, I hear you cry. Didn’t Australia once look at buying Japanese boats? Yes indeed. So far the sorry story of submarines looks like this:
2003: the last of the Collins-class enters service, surrounded by the debacle of technology that didn’t work. Thanks to the US Navy, it eventually did.
2004-2012: nothing much happens, despite the Rudd government saying it would begin construction on new vessels “in about 2017”.
2016: under the Turnbull government, France won a contract to build a diesel-powered variant of its Barracuda-class submarine for Australia. This was one of the most stunningly incompetent decisions in Australian military acquisition history – proven nuclear boats would be re-designed to carry fuel tanks and all of the other paraphernalia for diesels because?
2021: the French deal was scrapped in favour of AUKUS, a nuclear solution.
Unfortunately in the intervening time no steel has been cut for an Australian boat, and there is no firm delivery date for when HMAS Sub 1 will be in the water. Instead we are going to see a) three American Virginia-class boats delivered, with the first possibly around 2030, b) US boats based out of Perth with Australians aboard; c) British – of course “improved” (oh no!) – boats built in Australian shipyards, and d) the Collins vessels soldiering on possibly for decades.
On the positive side there are Aussie submariners training with the Americans in the complications of operating nuclear vessels, so there is that.
The Soryu-class is being superseded by the Taigei-class, but why not leave the beta-testing to the excellent Japanese designers? The Soryu’s have an excellent track record. They use both air-independent propulsion, and lithium-ion batteries. The AIP system means they can stay submerged longer without coming to the surface to snort – that is, using a snorkel.
Although this allows the submarine to stay semi-submerged it’s still bringing it close to the surface and those things that kill you – aircraft and anti-submarine warships. The newer batteries have almost double the electric storage capacity of traditional lead-acid batteries, again adding to the submerged endurance capability. The Soryu’s fire torpedoes and the Harpoon missile Australia uses. Their performance is excellent, and their track record over the 12 boats Japan has built so far the same.
It must be said however that the best solution for Australia’s submarining needs is 12 Virginia-class boats from the USA, built there, as fast as possible. If we are contemplating an unstable Pacific environment, and possible conflict, then we need weapons systems now, not later. Building our own submarines is also fraught with danger. We messed it up last time, and we will do so this time. Submarines are the most complex machine on the planet, and our track record, littered with mistakes and problems, is not good. Why go down that road again?
There are three questions reporters could ask the Aussie Defence Minister any time he pops his head over the parapet. 1) How much steel has been cut? 2) How much have we spent so far? 3) When will the first HMAS hit the water? We actually know the answers: none; about $Aus 5 billion, and maybe in the 2030s. The overall situation is disgraceful.
Refitting the Collins class is another sorry solution in this meandering drunken walk towards a solution. They are a good boat, but they are constantly being overtaken by newer technologies. The Soryu-class are cutting edge, and the best conventional submarines in the world now.
There is however one thing to change. The Soryu was one of the four aircraft carriers that attacked Darwin in 1942. Although it went to the bottom of the sea along with the other three of that assault group at the Battle of Midway, we’d want to call them something distinctive. Hopefully Teddy Sheean VC’s name will live forever, and be one of the newer submarines, along with Farncomb, Collins, Rankin, Dechaineux, and Waller – all great fighting figures in RAN history.
Perhaps the first of class could be called Rogers? Jonathan “Buck” Rogers – the nickname comes from a popular science-fiction character – was a hero from HMAS Voyager, tragically rammed by the aircraft carrier Melbourne in 1964 off Jervis Bay. Chief Petty Officer Rogers united those trapped in the forward section of the destroyer, still afloat, before after some time its inexorable flooding with water sent it to the seabed.
Do we really want to have three classes of submarines in the Navy; all of them surrounded by uncertainty? Instead, we could buy into a proven new class for less money. At least that would give us some certainty in this meandering path towards new submarines for Australia.
-o-o-O-o-o-
Top Ender is a military historian. His latest book The Sinking of HMAS Sydney – “living, fighting and dying in WWII cruisers” – is now in the shops.
Happy to be corrected but I thought the Japanese submarines didn’t have the range or the weapons payload for Australian requirements?
“Australian requirements” is code for rejecting the tried and proven in order to pursue expensive fantasies.
Range is not so great but the weapons are the same.
Always enjoy your posts on naval matters Top Ender. Yes the Collins Class has had a “chequered” history shall we say. Named after my Great Uncle Sir John Collins – a fine man.
Great write up of the disaster that is our Defence decision makers. Incompetence writ exceedingly large.
Being somewhat interested in military history and defence matters, I was pleased to read this – because I had the same thoughts myself, although I could never express them with the authority of Top Ender, of course.
While the Collins class were eventually made serviceable after much unnecessary delay, expense and wheel re-inventing, we should never go down that path again.
I understand that Prime Minister Abbott was close to announcing the Soryu Class would be the replacement boats – world class conventionals as set out clearly by Top Ender.
A Japanese submarine visited Sydney, an announcement was expected – and then Prime Minister Abbott was gone, we had Prime Minister Turnbull, the Japanese option evaporated and quite soon we had the French L’Incroyable engine swap class.
Amazingly expensive and decades away from service.
No Australian could be pleased with that astonishing procurement fandango.
I am sure it made the French and Chinese very happy.
A few years ago I had my Driza nicked while on Skye.
At the time I thought it to be a reasonable penalty for anyone stupid enough to waste good money to visit a barren rock stuck out in the Atlantic.

His accompanying commentary was rude, suggestive and downright impertinent.

Joe Biden just tried to bring down the Israeli government.

What he tried to do was get coalition parties to walk away from the government because of the supposed Israeli plan, which wasn’t theirs. That is a level of despicability not seen in international diplomacy, especially not in undermining a formal ally.
Whenever you see Biden and his clique do a craven and evil act you think it can’t be topped. But the stinking zombie just keeps on doing even worse things. There is nothing he won’t attempt to pursue the far-left agenda, nothing. I hope Trump has good security.

Mad Max: Furiosa flop hits Aussie cinemas in ‘disastrous’ 2024 box office (News.com.au, 1 Jun)
There’s the problem right there. Cannes giving a standing ovation to a movie is an immediate turn off for normal people.
This weekend is even worse, John Nolte recounts the misery here.
Cats have said the same thing, that it’s actually a good movie. I suspect the problem is audiences are now so terrified of woke preaching that one tiny sign of it is enough to turn them right off. It’s the reverse word of mouth effect.
I’m sad that bush cinemas are going to die because Hollywood has gone collectively insane and Blackout Bowen has raped them with sky-high electricity prices.
the only thing good about fury road was the cinematography
the “messaging” was already too loud and clear
like the latest avatar, its all about the special effects, the blatant anti-colonial, anti-capitalist (the irony for a billion dollar franchise) messaging requires you to put your fingers in your ears
I used to watch at least a couple of movies a month, in the last year the only thing I have watched is dune and that was border line. havent even bothered watching the last bond movie after they hinted that bond was experimenting with gay shit at college in the previous one.

This from Peter Van “Wrongagain’s” diatrabe on Luigi on the Mail Online ..
It is an unedifying characteristic, especially for a PM who has long prided himself on his humble origins.
Admittedly, “wrongagain” is decrying the PM but this constant media interpretation of Luigi’s con “humble beginnings” is getting stale ..
Luigi may have been raised in “houso” but the late 1960s “houso” wasn’t dependent on “humble” but circumstances .. Mummy qualified for “houso” by being a single parent not lack of income (she was a HS teacher) .. Luigi went to “private” school and had a grandaddy who owned a business so not quite so “humble” .. Plus Camperdown was/is a totally different game to life in a western Sydney “houso” estate …
But the media keeps on waffling the “humble” start tale …….!
You suspect Luigi’s humble beginnings owed more to his bastard status in an Italian family in the 1950s than Australian social inequality. Eh papa?
That “start tale” is all that AnAl has going for him. That and a lifetime of collecting dirt on his political “friends”.
He may have gone to the cathedral college but obviously wasn’t in the choir, to judge by his flat, whining, nasal diction.
Didn’t I read that it was a comfortable middle class unit when built by a Labor Govt. and occupied by the Ellery family who were well up the queue for housing as Ellery senior had a printing business that did work for the Labor party?
Miss Ellery (and little Tony Ellery) lived there afterwards, in that strange way that public housing tenants can “inherit” public housing?
No sign of anyone called Albanese, then or for many years to come – lucky the ABC could assemble that heartwarming documentary, but.
Stop making sense TE, there are no votes in SA or Victoria for something that works. Your military observations are great to read. Simple to understand and to the point. Knowing some in the Defence Department the ratio seems to be 15% doing things to defend the country and 85% making sure it doesn’t happen through inertia, incompetence or bloody mindedness. Thankyou.
True, dat.
Totally agree with below. In multiple articles and comments bashing the movie they use the term boss lady as a negative. Many don’t seem to know it is a prequel to Fury with current young actress playing Charleze Theron character. I thought Theron was good in Fury and she was great as an action girl in Atomic Blonde.
I did not pick up a woke vibe from the movie.
The “boss lady” type movies I avoid in the cinema are where they take a successful movie and try to remake with all female leads. Obvious ones here are Ghostbusters and Oceans Eight. Saving Private Raelene can’t be far off.
I wonder if there is also an element of tall poppy syndrome as by bashing Furiosa they can also say Hemsworth had a flop.
“Cats have said the same thing, that it’s actually a good movie. I suspect the problem is audiences are now so terrified of woke preaching that one tiny sign of it is enough to turn them right off. It’s the reverse word of mouth effect”
I like Charlize Theron in movies, like Hancock and Æon Flux. But in real life she’s absolutely frothingly bonkers. I pity her poor kids.
I think a lot of people are just bored shitless with CGI effects.
I am baffled that ppl cant see the woke crap in fury road!?!?!?!?!

My memory must be shot. I am pretty sure last week there were multiple articles quoting BOM as saying 2,000 km front of heavy rain coming up to Qld over the weekend.
My lying eyes are seeing clear blue skies and not a single drop of rain in Brisbane so far today.
But hey let’s believe the predictions about the climate 50 years from now.
Anybody in Qld seeing rain today? There was some yesterday but definitely did not match the hype.
Yesterday we got a bit of rain, but it only soaked into the soil about half an inch.
The roos put more down when they had a piss.
No no, it was a 5,000 km wide front of pure Gaia’s fury.

Trump would be devastated at monty’s low opinion of him, surely?
Have you mounted the photo of the crazy NY judge between the photos of Beria and Freisler yet? All of your political heroes in a single m0ntage.
Can’t see why you think that mock name applies to President Trump. Surely it is better applied to the genuinely geriatric President who actually does wear Depends? And who supports Nazis like Antifa.
Oh, and I forgot to mention, who would be a genuine convicted criminal if his money-making deals with Ukraine, in cahoots with his drug-taking son Hunter, were brought with proper charges before an impartial jury, you know, like there used to be in the US before Democrat lawfare took over.

Trump Campaign Announces Nearly $53 Million Raised in 24 Hours After Trump Conviction (1 Jan)
So many people were trying to donate the website crashed.
Good news for E. Jean Carroll.
No, no, no, that would be felonious misuse of campaign funds. She could not possibly accept a cent.
Aaanndd Monty again shows how ignorant he is.
Dumdum, Trump cannot use campaign cash to pay off that wymminses. Everyone in the US knows this. But you do not. Heh.
Hearing that the USS Eisenhower was again targeted in the Red Sea today. Latest news is that it abruptly changed course and sailed for Jeddah.
Has Creepy Joe ordered it to do the Hajj?
I wonder how many on board are praying to Mecca or lefty activists wearing kefiyahs while off duty? Has DEI caught up with the USS Ike?
Isn’t it about time some Houthi leaders met with some car bombs or other exotic endings?
Mossad is working on that fate for them!
Not so easy. Yemenis have been in constant war since the Queen of Sheba. They provided the front line troops to the Arab conquests ( took one generation to conquer a big chunk of the world – just with camels, horses and swords). Then battled everyone since. Also there is a lot of them and all the ones I met were genuinely nuts and excitable. The Afghans (Pashtun) seem almost normal in comparison.
At the end of the sermon, the pastor asked if anyone in the congregation would like to express a praise for an answered prayer. Suzie stood and walked to the podium.
She said, “I have a praise. Two months ago, my husband, Frank, had a terrible bicycle accident and his scrotum was completely crushed.
“The pain was excruciating, and the doctors didn’t know if they could help him.”
You could hear a muffled gasp from the men in the congregation as they imagined the pain that poor Frank must have experienced.
“Frank was unable to hold me or the children,” she went on, “and every move caused him terrible pain.” We prayed as the doctors performed a delicate operation, and it turned out they were able to piece together the crushed remnants of Frank’s scrotum and wrap fine wire around it to hold it in place with metal staples.”
Again, the men in the congregation cringed and squirmed uncomfortably as they imagined the horrible surgery performed on Frank.
“Now,” she announced in a quivering voice, “thank the Lord, Frank is out of the hospital and the doctors say that with time, his scrotum should recover completely.”
All the men sighed with unified relief. The pastor rose and tentatively asked if anyone else had something to say.
A man stood up and walked slowly to the podium. He said, “I’m Frank.” The entire congregation held its breath.
“I just want to tell my wife that the word is sternum.”
Calli,

Proof That DEI Is Making Science Dangerous | Gad Saad
DEI is making everything dangerous.
I’m sure Islamic State is on the case.
You stated yesterday he was a rapist.
I’m guessing you still have no proof.
There’s more proof that you should be wearing an ankle bracelet.
Trump was found Not Guilty of the rape allegation. He might have to mUnturd for defamation, then he could use the winnings to pay of what’s her name without using campaign funds.
A court adjudicated that he had raped E. Jean Carroll in their defamation case.
Does anyone seriously think the walking corpse will be the ultimate Dem candidate?
I dearly hope so.
Yes, he will be. Democrats are coming to the conclusion that they cannot win with Biden or anyone else therefore they will leave him in so as not to disturb anyone on their side. What’s more, with dementia he is getting really disgusting with his insults with which all Dems agree but with Biden doing it they have some deniability.
But – what if he really IS the best they’ve got? Speaks volumes for the rest …
A minor correction, if I may.

Below first part of article just gone up at Courier Mail via Mackay Mercury. Comments currently not allowed. If you Google those three clans Wikipedia does not give much information at all. Would be interesting to know current population.
Two native title claims have been determined for more than 7800sq km in Central Queensland more than 10 years after the applications were first filed.
The Barada Kabalbara Yetimalara People now have Native Title over 7512sq km of land stretching from Sarina down to Rockhampton that encompasses five regional council jurisdictions after the Federal Court of Australia handed down its decision this month.
They also now hold Native Title over 294sq km of land and waters north of Rockhampton, with the applications first filed in July of 2013.
It is understood the recent determinations are the first to affect the Isaac region west of Mackay in five years.
Those claiming to hold native title over both areas were ‘apical’ ancestors – meaning through adoption or ‘raising up’ of persons including unnamed Barada Woman (spouse of Johnny and Charlie Budby), Lucy and/or Jimmy Barber, Kitty aka Kitty Eaglehawk, Yatton Boney, Maggie (mother of Jack Mack and Gypsy Tyson), and King Boco.
Court documents state historical sources proved the ancestors had “association within and close to the claim area(s)” around the “effective date of sovereignty” in 1865.
For example, a person named JB Shannon in November, 1887 wrote about selling rations to the “n-ggers” Lucy, Sugar, Kitty and Boco for two shillings before they “sent the darkies off”.
The documents further state the evidence heard during on-country hearings – which included traditional knowledges passed down from grandparents to grandchildren like warnings to not eat emu or Goondalo as they were ancestors – provided enough facts to determine native title rights.
What does the native title determination mean?The determination allows the Barada Kabalbara Yetimarala People “the right to possess, occupy, use and enjoy the lands and waters of the application area(s) as against the whole world, pursuant to the traditional laws and customs of the claim group.”
The National Native Title Tribunal states the native title claims gives the Barada Kabalbara People the right to move about on or travel over the areas; to camp and erect temporary shelters; and to hunt, fish and gather on the lands or have access to, take and use natural resources from the lands for personal, domestic and non-commercial communal purposes.
The Barada Kabalabara Yetimarala People can also hold meetings, conduct ceremonies, maintain places of importance and areas of significance, teach, live, and be buried on or bury native title holders on the grounds within the native title boundaries.
native title is a marxist fiction and must be abolished
Bet it also gives the right to go on drawing whitefella’s welfare!
I doubt any alternative Dem leader would be any different, substantively, than Biden. They will probably wait until he drops and then install a new one.

Yes. Marxist dons.
As a rule I don’t watch Australian movies or shows. I can’t cope with seeing my taxes employed to destoy our once wondeful culture and promote evil ideologies.
That said, on Tubi I stumbled over a 1985 TV series called Les Norton. It must have broadcast when I lived OS.
Watching it was a strange feeling; like looking over the fence at a place that you revelled in and loved but didn’t realise had been completely taken away from you.
It was straight larrikin harmless good fun. Larconic, cartoon violance, revelled in offending every ‘ism’ ever fabricated, and was dedicated to taking the piss out of everything and everyone including the mob that we have to prey to before a footy match can get underway.
A murdered genre.
I was amazed by how nostalgic it made me feel. I am not amazed by how vengeful it made me feel.
try the Les Norton books too
they’re are hoot
Books were better.
And on nostalgia and vengeance indeed.
“Does anyone seriously think the walking corpse will be the ultimate adem candidate”
I expect a switcharoo after the democrat convention. “Biden is kind of a grin with a body behind it The intellect of the democrat party” (Clint Eastwood) .
Impossible to hide the obvious demented corpse any more. Eyes and ears don’t lie, despite that creepy wife Dr Jill parroting he’s the most astute man in the room!
She’s the only other person in the room.
The reason there is no urgency about replacing Biden is that the Dems think they will easily be able to steal the 2024 election — though that assumes they will be able to steal the election on an industrial scale, not just in a few marginal states as in 2020.
That would require changing the vote in up to 40+ states after the polls close on November 5. Their assumption that independents won’t vote for a convicted felon is way off the mark, in my opinion.
Nevertheless, I don’t underestimate the audacious evil of the Obama crew running the White House and their puppet president, so I’ve no doubt they’ll try it — especially now they/ve established they own the American judiciary and can conduct years of lawfare with impunity.
Energy far from low, m0ron. It was a spontaneous outpouring of positive loud energy for 45, something you will never see at a Biden zombie huddle ;

No investigation into terror-praising preacher after bishop stabbing comments
By alexi demetriadi
A terror-praising Sydney preacher who applauded a teen for “standing up for prophet Mohammed” when he allegedly stabbed Assyrian Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel will not be investigated by police, as political leaders said authorities have “to get serious” on hate speech.
The Australian can reveal that a southwest Sydney cleric known only as “Brother Ismail” made the intervention on the alleged stabbing to a packed crowd at the Al Madina Dawah Centre in late May.
But that praise does not fall foul of commonwealth legislation outlawing “praising” a terrorist act, with state police confirming it would not investigate the cleric.
“These are our red lines and insults from a man (Bishop Emmanuel) followed by billions … it’s not a good idea, and this was the outcome and consequences,” the preacher said, referring to the Wakeley alleged terror incident on April 15.
“That kid, in his actions, stood up and defended the honour of Mohammed …”
A boy, 16, was charged with committing a terror offence after allegedly stabbing Bishop Emmanuel, who sustained, but recovered from, multiple injuries.
In the early years Hollywood was run by people who knew what audiences wanted to see. A lot of them were refugees from Nazis so in their new world they were not elites and had close contacts with common people to be in the know. Those producers also knew that they wanted to make money not impress some snooty-nosed artistic elite who are not their customers. They were also quite cultured and used culture in a genuine way that either uplifted audiences or amused them.
The current Hollywood bigwigs have no connection to their audiences, don’t know what plays out there in the suburbs and don’t care. They have come out of universities convinced by their professors that their mission is to make a difference. Well they have made a difference, they have destroyed their industry. Sadly the same is turning out to be the case in every industry these new managers touch.

From the Oz – comments have suddenly gone down the memory hole..
The problem with switching Biden out is that by the rules they are out of time. The state filing deadlines to get on their ballots have passed.
Is an accommodation possible? Possibly, but the Dem Convention is scheduled for 19 Aug and there’s absolutely no way it will happen after that.
Maybe just after the first debate which is before the convention.
the mouth still moves, its all good
Only half way through as it is 3 hours. The Patrick Beth David debate over vaccines and mandates between Chris Cuomo and Dave Smith. Plenty of discussion about Rogan and ivermectin and media coverage.
Smith winning but at least Cuomo had the guts to debate what happened.
My brief Performance model Y Tesla one year review.
Overall I give it 8 out 10. Not perfect but for a daily driver it is excellent. a sub 4 sec car for $100k is mind blowing. Acceleration is slingshot like yet manages to be smooth. The acceleration reminds me a bit of a japanese bullet train, speed just relentlessly increases without a glitch. It doesnt even take 2 secs to hit 60k speed limit. With the regen braking and instant torque I basically drive the car with my big toe and 1 finger, I grew up with manual cars and still drive with one hand. Use the brakes maybe once or twice during the daily drive, just as the occasional final touch to the regen. It’s a completely different driving experience to a petrol car.
The car is very much about its software, which is updated over the air currently about every 2 weeks. The latest has insane situational visuals used by the self driving computer. The minimalist interior reminds me a bit of my parents VW when I was a little kid. Dont miss all the lights, dials and controls of modern cars. Dont miss the roar of the V8s. Dont miss the heavy key fobs.
Pros: quiet, insanely quick, smooth. great sound system you can hear. software is 1st class and well designed, responsive and accessible remotely. Constant updates and improvements. Dirt cheap to run.
Cons: could do with active suspension. cutting the road and wind noise down even more would be great. lumbar support doesnt work for me, had to fix that. Factory window tinting is inadequate, had to add some. A bit more refinement wouldn’t go astray.
Overall not a luxury car as I would describe one, but not bad. The use case as a daily driver with home charging is exactly what it excels at. Would not buy an EV without home charging. Easily the most enjoyable car to drive I have owned, smokes everything except maybe a few exotics. After driving it for a few months I drove my other petrol car, a 4 sec luxury beast and it felt like a dinosaur, so I sold it (sorry JC) and bought a second Tesla.
Electric cars are an idea for the future that can’t be forced down the throats of an unwilling populace because a) they’re expensive; b) the necessary charging infrastructure doesn’t yet exist; c) even if it did, charging would have to be accomplished in the same time it takes to reffuel an ICE car or its uncompetitive; d) climate change is a hoax for dumb people.
imo the future is already here.
the thing is a supercomputer with wheels attached.
the latest FSD v12 drives with almost no interventions. Like all AIs it will dramatically improve over the next few years and will be far superior to human driving.
But I agree the market should decide for itself if its a reasonable value proposition.
since all we use our cars for is daily driving and we have home charging at reasonable price it makes sense. We stick them on charge after every trip, maintains the battery for much longer, (not that we will keep them more than a few years)
you can search on the old cat, but I did say at one stage that they would pry my ICE cars from my cold dead fingers… well I was wrong.
Once you switch to computer controlled, single gear, instant torque/regen braking it’s hard to go back.
I am even quite looking forward to let the car driving itself, so I dont have to deal with the dickheads on the roads.
We need MORE V8 roar!
I thought the bishop lost an eye.
You don’t recover from that.
You expected the truth over a Muslim stabbing crime?
Calli, your sense of scepticism may need a polish…
Serious question.
Can a tort for damages be laid against a church/other-place-of-religion in a civil court? Not that I suspect the Bishop would, but legally, is such an act possible? (I’m not asking if it’s likely to succeed, but is it possible?).
Top Ender:
Re – the uboats – the only way we will get effective, efficient, well made and deadly boats is if they are to be manned ONLY by the conscripted families of our Politicians and Unions.

The only Tesla I’ve been in is a taxi, Zippy. Seemed okay, nice suspension. That was in Tromso, so it had the snow tyres on, so a bit of road noise.
The thing that bothers me about electrics (apart from the mammoth waste concealed in the battery and the robbing of taxes to subsidise their introduction) is the silence. Here in the tiny streets of Spain, for instance, they have to be a menace as the streets are shared by pedestrians. You simply don’t hear them approaching.
the car is pedestrian aware, it actively attempts to avoid collisions.
Very interesting comment from Powerline blog on Trump sentencing. Says Judge will do whatever helps Biden most.
“I think it more likely that Merchan will sentence Trump to house arrest. He would wear an ankle bracelet and be confined to his home, which I assume means Mar-a-Lago. The purpose of such a sentence would be to neutralize one of Trump’s key advantages: he is an excellent campaigner, perhaps the best of recent times, while Joe Biden is too senile to campaign effectively, if at all. Cooping Trump up at home, allowing him to campaign via video but not in person, would help to minimize the contrast between Trump’s vigor and Biden’s senility”
One suspects that attempting to put a leading presidential candidate under house arrest would be the best possible way to get it in front of the US supreme court post haste.
They might slow walk the lesser causes for review, but direct interference in the national election is of immediate national importance.
Were he placed under house arrest, what are the chances of the American people traveling to see him, rather than the other way around? Convoys clogging the road network (at least in Florida)? If a substantial enough number of people set up camp in the vicinity (I don’t know if this is practical?), it would take the National Guard perhaps to remove them, would be interesting ‘optics.’ (Would De Santis permit that? Can he be over-rided?).
Still watching Cuomo v Smith. Smith is excellent in terms of Covid and what happened and what they are discussing mirrors what happened in Australia.

But we need to wait for the facts.
How about these facts.
The bloke was a loon.
He had unlicensed guns (likely including the murder weapon).
He committed a double murder of people who had s.f.a. to do with his failed marriage.
He was a xunt the world is better off without.
Stop dog-whistling that he is some sort of victim here.
Perhaps Sancho, you might consider an apology for your hysterical slander.
But I’m not going to hold my breath.
Zip wow. You sold the living room on wheels for a Tesla? A pal in the US has a new one and he said the self driving software is out of this world. It literally drives itself.
Sorry!
“How do we even know that the daughter isn’t telling the truth and the coppers wanted an incident that would allow them to confiscate every weapon in WA, but it got way out of control.”
All you’ve done is confirm the that the murderer was a loon and your allegation anout the police has zero substance.
Rosie_
It’s a question – not an allegation.
From the looks of it, the man was seriously unwell with a tumor, and while the medical staff questioned his ability to drive, no one thought to ask if he had firearms which should have been taken from him considering his behaviour and illness.
?
What had that got to do with a conspiracy theory about WA police?
How about we return to the subject in question:
Was the man a Murderer?
Was he a Loon?
Were there failures in Police and Health systems that allowed him the means to carry out the killings?
“Self driving software ” ..why , I couldn’t think of anything more boring than not being in control when driving .
Boring?
F- ing terrifying!
WA domestic violence accused to lose guns
Staff writers
WA Premier Roger Cook says people who are formally accused of family violence will be stripped of their firearms under proposed legal changes.
Announcing the move on Sunday in the wake of the Floreat double murder-suicide, Mr Cook said the changes were part of a broader plan to toughen the state’s firearm laws.
“We want to keep women safe. We want to make sure that we have a precautionary approach and that safety is our number one priority,” he said.
“As a result of that, these new laws will require the police to mandatorily seize guns from someone who is subject to a formal complaint in relation to domestic violence.
“Now, many people will say these are too tough [but] we believe the principal aim should be to keep people safe.”
– Elizabeth Pike
I’d heard of this earlier. Nothing is beyond them.

The worker.
If ‘the worker’ was a qualified doctor or any sort of specialist then you can guarantee that the piece would not have titled this person as ‘a worker’. So, a receptionist or very close to it.
Let’s look at the article:
The ‘health worker’ looked at his condition? Or just snooped at his records? ‘Receptionist’ is looking likely…..
Ahahahahaaaaa.
Drifting from ‘receptionist’ into ‘nurse’ territory then. Now, here we go:
‘Health professionals’. Haven’t we just been through three or more years where ‘health professionals’ were the undisputed gods of how society should operate?
Here are some other, and potentially more qualified ‘health professionals’:
So. According to some ‘health professionals’, they should be mandated to tek er guns. However, according to some other ‘health professionals’ from the exact same place, although there was a medical condition it was unrelated to offing his ex and anyone else that got in his way.

How about we address the issue here – a man who had several demonstrated cerebral events, had become violent and controlling at home, was mismanaged by two separate government departments and should have had his firearms removed, and was let free to carry out a double killing.
We’ve suddenly become very trusting of two organisations that have taken great pains to show us just how trustworthy they are, haven’t we?
And I deny EVER making a Tik Tok Dance video.
Look at this grotesque, corrupt piece of shit:
Biden’s ‘Weird Smirk’ While Ignoring Trump ‘Political Prisoner’ Question Goes Viral | Times Now (timesnownews.com)
Zulu at 5:07 p.m. posted a press piece concerning W.A.’s new firearm-domestic violence law.
This will achieve little – if anything – regarding the issue of ‘family violence.’ An individual with anger management problems, and potentially devoid of empathy and shame, will simply find other ways to express their internal rage: knives, vehicles, arson, poisoning, (rocks, if you happen to pursue a certain lifestyle), etc.
This a ‘Do something. Anything!’ reaction, rather than a measured response, which seems to be all that policy makers are capable of.* Meanwhile, the law-abiding will continue to be stripped of their liberties. Pathetic posers.
*I honestly do not know what the most effective (which means that at some point, they need to be measured) policy responses might be regarding this issue, aside from tinkering with the legal system, if necessary. I DO know, however, that the simplification of it as ‘gender-based’ is counter-productive, but that pigeon will not come home to roost until the initiators are safely retired or dust.
I also believe that the taxpayer funds devoted to edjamuhkaytion regardingt he issue are wasted; Individuals who lack self-control, and feel no or little, guilt or remorse, are very unlikely to suddenly ‘see the light’ and change their behaviour based on a T.V./press/online advertisement. (Change normally occurs as a result of force, rather than internal choice).
The purpose of the “education” is twofold. First, to vilify all men, specifically white men. Second, to keep the FTA part of the propaganda system solvent.
There was an advertising campaign a few years ago that hit the right note: ‘Real men don’t hit women’. That was drummed into us in my unfashionably conservative working-class Catholic upbringing. But the campaign fell foul of political correctness – there’s no such thing as good masculinity, it seems – and was pulled.
In WA Jack HQ:
Chief: ‘Right, we need to engineer a double murder with domestic violence connotations so we can FINALLY tek erl the guns orf the people.’
Lackey: ‘There’s a potential one here in the file. A bloke with an identified medical condition, although there are differing reports about how it makes the bloke act.’
Chief: ‘Perfect! Make it happen!’
Knuckle Dragger, you’re refusing to counter the main point, and starting to sound quite silly and shrill.
Get back to it – Why was a man with a demonstrated medical condition that has a history of causing violent and irrational behaviour, allowed to keep a firearm collection?
There are laws that allow the police AND doctors to restrain a patient who is a danger to themselves and others.
Why did this not happen?

On Submarines
I do remember at the time, the USA was supporting the choice of Japanese submarines, but it was our team at the time who pulled a blinder.
Tony Abbot was onboard with buying the Japanese submarines, but then was backstabbed by Turnbull
Turnbull was never going to endorse something Tony Abbott had done, so went the French route for a never never design even though there was no chance of getting US weapons systems integrated by the French, just never going to happen.
Defense Minister at the time was Marise Payne, a lightweight in defence knowledge, and a lightweight her entire tenure in Defence. A political appointment, so a woman got the job because she had hair she could sit on and not based on merit. (Dame Edna reference)
Foreign Minister was Julie Bishop, she who just loved being feted in Paris and was a despicable self centered person and another who got the job for the wrong reasons.
Chrissy Pyne (Pine? he of poodle fame), was still lobbying for “jobs in Adelaide”, by a useless population of a tiny city and community who couldn’t even manage to make cars successfully.
There is still talk, of building things here, why bother? The focus on building in Adelaide is part of the problem, build ships or whatever in Newcastle where they have or had the skills, nothing that comes out of Adelaide is any good because it is always subsidised and poorer quality because of it. Build in WA, and establish an anctual skill centre, but give up on Adelaide as it’s never going to produce results with such a small population.
Defense Minister at the time was Marise Payne, a lightweight in defence knowledge, and a lightweight her entire tenure in Defence.
And was still a lightweight infesting the opposition benches till last year, na that’s too complimentary to her abilities. The lowest division minimumweight is more apt.

Just to offer some clarification about what I said , that interest rate levels are no indicator for monetary stance.
Deposit rates in Argentina are around 70% while the loan rate is around 80% a year. Conversely interest rates bordered around zero to 1% in Japan until recently. Which interest rate level was loose or tight?
Let me answer. Argentina is or was loose while Japan was tight.
As economist Sumner says, never argue from an interest level only.

Very hard to get an actual value of a used car. Private sale vs trade in value . Detailing the car and waiting for buyers vs giving it to a dealer with no hassles .
Anyway I have transferred some money to a certain account and hope this settles matters
Your main problem was treating your daughters like girls, instead of people. 😀
I traded in my last car for $1.
Twenty six years old, a fine chariot, but it needed tyres and was up for rego and green slip.
Handed the keys to the used car saleman and took over my current mount: a seven year old Mazda 3. Who is now nearly 17 years old, and going ridiculously well.
Given the way Bowen is going I hope she’ll do me for the rest of my life.
I love my hologram that tells me the speed limit and my speed.
Hairy does too as he tells me I have tunnel-vision and mostly miss the road signs that tell ‘normal’ drivers the speed limit, which when he was being driven by me (prior to the hologram) he used to delight in pointing out. I contend that unless most people were like me they wouldn’t have developed the hologram. Case closed.
BTB from the nested commentary:
So it’s a ‘nurse’ then.
How about we address the issue that the dead woman’s daughter – who, if she is to be believed, was witness to this bloke’s horrible domestic violence for years, said nothing all that time until her mother was shot by a dickhead?
If she – or her mother – had made single report of substance, I am told there would have been an immediate domestic violence order slapped on him. Because the jacks of today are about ‘protect wimmin’ and so on.
That order would have resulted in the immediate confiscation of all the bloke’s shooters, because I am also told that in every State and Territory in the country, if you get an order of this type, you automatically become a prohibited person from owning or possessing firearms until five years after that order ends.
So yeah nah. 1. The chick on the telly is after compo cash; and 2. I doubt very much this was a false flag that got out of control.
Knuckle Dragger
Yes – that’s what you said:
And this happens without fail, every time. Yes?
Perhaps you should let go of this brainworm you’re nurturing about the surviving woman being after a big pay day to fit whatever preconceived idea of how she is a “Chick on the telly after compo cash.”
Your other comments designed to draw the conversation away from the two salient facts need to be left out they’re not relevant.
KD,
the dead woman AND the dead woman’s daughter, were not related to the killer.
They gave his wife a place to hideout for a few days.
The woman making the claims against the killer and the coppers, is the daughter of the killer.
The killer’s wife is alive. Her friend and her friends’ daughter are dead. They are not looking for compo.
The lady on the TV most certainly is.
From further nests:
No, the ‘main point’ was a suggestion that the WA jackery orchestrated a double murder in order to tek er guns. But it ‘got out of hand’.
Wasn’t it? Why yes. Yes it was.
The main point was that a man with a demonstrated illness was allowed to keep firearms.
Twist it as you like KD, everything hangs on those two facts.
Everything else is secondary, and your efforts to turn it into something else is pathetic.
No it wasn’t, and you know that very well.
False Flag! Duck and Cover!

Does Australia have the same self driving software as the US?
yes but we cant use it. we can only use autopilot, which doesn’t navigate. so basically only on highways.
This stupid stupid country will never obtain any that replace the blob collins “audible in space” class noise machines.
Despite wasting hundreds of gazillions of taxpayers dollars attempting to do so.
Thanks, forkwits!

I just stopped watching Andrew Clennel.
He no doubt would claim that he is simply asking the hard questions from a balanced agenda.
For me, he displayed BBC level arrogance, spoke (yelled) over his guests and was biased towards Labor. Perhaps I am being unfair.
Could journalistic informed Cats provide some information about this bloke?
Labor shrill. However can be honest at times about ALP downfalls though.
He has erased his online history unless you have Login to certain sites, Sky Bio is pathetically small and he has no Wikipedia profile to check (Strange for someone of low importance). Hence I can’t find where he worked as an ALP spinmeister but do remember something about either Rudd or Gillard in his history.
bons – he’s a j’ismist.
In other words, a lying deceitful ignorant ahistorical idiot, with an incredibly annoying way of speaking – that is, through his massive hooter.
Not to mention fat and ugly to boot – bimbecile nielsen, he is not.
He’s an arrogant arsehole who always seems to be auditioning for their ABC.
Controlled opposition. Worthless opinions. Biased towards the left and bumptious about it.
He’s on…I’m doing something else.
The version in the video is 3 months old, and many versions behind the current. They are rolling out updates about every 2 weeks with exponential improvements.
I have FSD12 in my car (wife still hasnt received it) and the situational awareness is mind blowing.
We dont have self driving allowed here yet and I have only used FSD11 autopilot which I didnt like at all, it wants to stick to the dead middle of a lane, nobody drives like that on highways. Used to taking a bit more of a racing line around bends and giving cars space when passing etc. FSD11 still has a ton of hand coding and doesnt feel natural. FSD12 on the other hand is end to end AI and has been trained on human driving, havent tested it on highways yet. Curious to see how it does.
I also dont use the auto-parking at home as it wants to park dead center in the space and I park off to one side, no way to tell it to do so… yet.
It’s only a matter of time before you’ll be able to tell the car what you want it to do.
I’m waiting for cars that answer you back.

Forgot to add, does it come in manual?
Shocking new footage emerges of huge wooden ‘shantytown’ built in Democrat-run city whose name is byword for crime and urban decay
The stunning and brave statement by WA’s answer to Grace Tame and Brittany Higgins:
I’d like to start by saying how truly, deeply sorry I am to [redacted] Petelczyc for the losses of her beautiful mother, Jenny, and sister Gretl; losses she has suffered at the hands of my father’s violence.
My mother and I fled our family home on March 28 in fear of our lives and to remove ourselves from an abusive situation.
Between March 30th and April 2nd, I spoke with police on three separate occasions to raise the alarm about my father.
On each occasion I alerted officers to my father’s guns, and told them my mother and I felt there was a real and imminent threat to our lives.
I specifically mentioned that there was a Glock handgun which was unaccounted for.
My understanding is this ultimately would be one of the weapons my father used take the lives of two innocent women.
I also asked the police if we would be able to take out a 72 hour temporary protective order.
We were told no, and that there was nothing police could do about the situation at that time.
On April 2nd, my mother and I were given a police escort to our home to collect some belongings. This was the third occasion we warned police about my father’s guns.
One officer said, “oh don’t worry, we know all about the guns”, and when he called for backup, he warned his fellow officers to wear bullet proof vests.
We were ignored by five different male officers across three occasions of reporting.
By that point we felt completely helpless and I had to focus on getting mum to safety. I did everything I could to protect my mother, and when my father couldn’t find us he murdered her best friend and her best friend’s daughter.
The gun reforms being discussed currently are an important step, but it is my unwavering belief that even without his guns my father would have committed a horrific act of violence which likely would have claimed lives.
What my father did was an act of domestic violence.
My mother and I made clear that lives were at risk, and we were repeatedly ignored. Repeatedly failed.
Those failures have cost the lives of two incredible women. My father should always be considered accountable for his actions.
They were his and his alone, however, there are authorities who should have helped us stop him, and they failed.
I want answers.
Hang on. She made the request for the 72 hour protection order between 28 March-2 April? And just thought everything would be sweet subsequent to that? I reckon the surviving daughter wants answers too – from Ariel Bombara and her mother.
Presumably after some questioning, Ariel makes it a Man problem:
Men will kill regardless of what weapon they use. If they want to, they will find a way.
Ariel, anyone who wants to will kill, regardless of what weapon they use. They will find a way.
And then there’s the news today that Mark Bombara had a cyst on the brain. Which puts a rather different spin on what happened. Did the daughter know this? If she did, her actions start to look quite reprehensible. She must at least have known about her father’s sudden change in behaviour. She couldn’t publicly at least in part mourn the loss of her father for what he was? She had to throw him under the bus entirely by depicting him as a wife and child beater?
Incidentally, it’s interesting to compare the photo of Mark Bombara the media has predominantly displayed with the photo that at least some are displaying of him today. Presumably they had access to both photos of him and more. The broad editorial choice of using the one on the left is illuminating. It aligns with the misandrist narrative that’s currently in hyperdrive. The humanising photo on the right that would draw the reader to speculate the man may not have been a lifelong gun-toting, murderous psycho and ticking time-bomb, and that there could have been other factors driving him to kill that were beyond his control, is too complicated for this narrative.
Beyond me why people pay for Sky- the bad stuff seems to outweigh the acceptable stuff judging by comments here.
What’s more, the best bits of Sky after dark, such as they are, are posted on You Tube.
Just don’t tell anyone.
Greg Gutfeld, Jesse Watters, Judge Janine and a few others from the US and Outsiders on Sunday morning are my justification. The other Australian news stuff is shit. And since they dropped TCM from their movie range everything else is on tenterhooks.
I am out in the sticks. Sky is free for us.
Silly townies. 😀
No. Don’t take Sky, especially Sky-after-dark away from us, it’s just about all we have to watch in the line of news in and from Oz. Getting it out to the regions was one of the biggest moves forward for free speech and free thinking we’ve had in recent years. Hotels that only give CNN for your money might learn that many people prefer to the free-to-air versions of shows from Sky AD.
We certainly did and do, wherever we stay.
Bang on the money.
It must be good to be a mind reader.

Via Zippster’s 10:14 a.m. post linking to Judicial Watch:
As a result of Judicial Watch’s legal actions, New York City removed ‘almost half a million names’ from their voter roll [date unstated, but within the last 18 months I think]; L.A. Country removed approx. 1.2 million names (end of 2022/beginning of 2023).
This cleaning of voter rolls (those who have died, or moved residence to another jurisdiction) are meant to take place on a regular basis, but apparently don’t, according to Judicial Watch.
Why does politix attract such trashy people? Maybe anyone who isn’t trash is frozen out.

The ABC’s War on Men continues. We all know they’re violent women-killers, but did you know they are also basket-case recidivist criminal losers?
Meet the residents of Rainbow Lodge, the broken men with nowhere else to go
The top story today. The second top story is yet another addition to the series on the plight of older single women, a noticeable and rather odd fixation of the ABC’s.
At this caravan park, women aged over 55 have found a way out of the housing crisis
Where do they find the people to feature in these sob stories? Frequently they are depicted as victims of circumstances beyond their control, yet there are always odd gaps in the narratives that explain how they ended up where they have:
You had to use that previously? On what, I wonder?
She’s a “[t]ertiary-educated…university lecturer…who had worked for the federal government in senior roles”? This is rather vague. You have to be more than ‘tertiary-educated’ to be a university lecturer assuming we’re using the definition of ‘university lecturer’ most would apply (ie. not an ESL teacher working at a university in, say, China – she is well-travelled after all! – a role which could encompass the meaning of ‘university lecturer’ at a stretch). Also, senior roles in the federal government pay well. Why couldn’t she afford a normal house?
We’re told all this because hey look – even a successful single woman who was a university lecturer and was employed in senior government roles can only afford to live in a caravan park.
And here’s another one:
Was it the violent relationship or the back injury that caused her to end up in the caravan park? She didn’t actually own the $1 million house, right? Why would a back injury mean she had to move from the house to her kids’ couches? This isn’t really a riches to rags story, is it? Get the feeling that perhaps Jane might be the author of her fate far more than is being let on?
The ABC pulls this deceptive bullshit constantly.
Have they done a piece on the number of men, living in such circumstances?
Perhaps some people leave their relationships late in life, after not investing in them to make them work and by then they are toxic.
Divide all the assets up and duly p*ss them away, thinking the state is going to support them on benefits or a pension.
Good times don’t last forever and you do have to work on things, like a marriage.
I know of many late life bust ups, most recently a mate, after 37 years was completely blindsided by his wife leaving him. He’s always been a bit of a crazy scheme guy, but loved her dearly, still does he says. He never saw it coming, no warning even though we all thought she was a saint putting up with his business schemes.
Mind you, last I saw him he had a south American girlfriend and seems to be getting over it. He invested what he had from the breakup and is still working and will be ok, bought a small place.
He paid her out, and after buying a new car and other stuff, she lives in a flat now, renting, and that’s her lot, on the aged pension. She’s bitter that he seems to be doing well.
People eh?
I’m pretty suss about that, considering that job services make their money by having you on their books, even when they don’t do much for you. Also because the job services I’ve come across are mostly – sometimes wholly – staffed by women. This reads like extremely loose paraphrasing, with a lot of pure imagination.
At our expense, not that any of us needed to be reminded …

Postcard from Cape Verde
Mindelo, the capital of Cape Verde, has not that much to recommend it. A sun-blasted group of ten islands off the African coast, this independent country of 600,000 was founded by the Portugese in the 15th century. It was a slave transit centre, and as a result a lot of the locals are of African descent.
We did a tour using an independent company. I did not help matters by slipping on a kerb and bashing a knee and some ribs in a fall – still feeling the latter three days later. We travelled up to the highest point of the main island on roads built from the local stone. The hillsides were terraced with rock ridges as well. A lot of houses were abandoned, broken windmills abounded and the only livestock seen were goats. We were nearly blown off the top. Three so-called soldiers appeared, but they looked a pretty relaxed bunch going by the colourful T-shirts complementing their cammie trousers and boots. They were there to “guard” the island communications towers.
Cape Verde is stark terrain almost everywhere. At lunch in a German café I was struck by how the small sheer mountains, denuded of any vegetation, looked like something out of a dinosaur movie. All it needed was wisps of smoke coming out of the now-dead small volcanoes, and a T-Rex or two to come on a casual stroll around a corner. The guide however waxed lyrical about how the inhabitants were all a) happy, and b) but poor because of the evil government.
According to our guide when the rains come in August, the countryside blooms with planted vegetables. It was difficult to imagine. The wind was extraordinary and apparently blows all year round, except the rainy season. The town has colourful houses and mosaics.
We are now on to Rome for five days, and then board another cruise liner – me doing three talks over seven days – and visiting Crete and Istanbul, before arriving in Athens.
You really get around TE!
Cape Verde is a wonderfully volcanic place.
I like volcanos.
We are just up the train line from you, TE, in Bologna, before heading to Palermo on Friday. The weather is improving the further south we go, so hopefully you’ll get the long overdue sun shining over Rome.
As far as I am concerned, Sky Australia is worth every cent.
I argued here a few days ago that Sky, whilst not perfect (nothing is), is a million, a zillion times better than the vomit offered up on Nine, Seven, Ten and their ABC.
As Ralph Shoellhammer said on Outsiders this morning, according to the left there is no ‘right’ anymore, everyone is far-right, ultra right, extreme right, hard-right and uber right, all of these smears are designed to silence dissent and anyone even remotely critical of the left!
There is no left now, only hard left, extreme left, extremely hard left, fascist and communist.
This is fun, can anyone play?
Visualise the Nike logo, except a touch more angular. Our opponents view themselves as the solid, grounded, broad and weighty bottom of the logo, anchored to reality. They view us as the acute tip; far from the ground, narrow, and sharp (dangerous).

Seeing the footage, it’s nice to see a sea of union jacks and Israeli flags, flags you won’t see at the weekly Jew hating marches.
This afternoon, on my way to meet a friend for coffee, I got off the bus at Taylor Square here in Sydney and running towards the bus was some elderly geezer wearing a “Free Palestine” t-shirt, and his backpack festooned with Palestinian flags. So I yelled at him “Go Israel” to which he swivelled his head and I then gave him my middle finger.
I’m over being nice.

Beyond me why people pay for Sky- the bad stuff seems to outweigh the acceptable stuff judging by comments here.
We pay for Sky by paying for Foxtel, which delivers a whole lot more. Such as Fox News (After Dark) including The Five, Laura Ingraham, Jesse Watters, Sean Hannity, and the number one late show Gutfeld.
The bad bits of Sky News are for the most part delivered during the day. Kieran Gilbert always sounds like he belongs elsewhere (as did Speers before him) and Laura Jayes often comes across as similar. Andrew Clennell has difficulty remaining impartial but does a much better job than those other two. Peter Stefanovik in the early morning is good when he allows his inner reasonable male to assert itself, although he too can fall into the fault ditch of just reading what others have written.
When all is said and done Sky is way better than the local alternatives, but this is due to the evening crowd: James Morrow, Peta Credlin, Rita Panahi, Andrew Bolt, Paul Murray, Sharri Markson, and the Late crowd.
Plus of course the redoubtable Rowan Dean!
Australia’s NEW Boss of ‘MEN’s Behaviour’ is a SHAMEFUL and SEXIST World First says Bettina Arndt
If there were ever a more blatant sign that the govt has entirely too much taxpayer funding it’s difficult to imagine what it could be.
BBC finds a jew who condemns Israel. Not that hard, given that even before the October 7 disaster (visited on Israel by Hamas/Gazans) there was significant division within Israel. This guy, a former Human Rights Watch character, says his conversion to saying Israel has committed genocide came about when “humanitarian aid was held up by Israel”. That’s disputable, but more relevant is the fact that Hamas stands accused of stealing that same aid once it made it into Gaza. Has Hamas been accused on a daily basis of genocide?
