I keep asking myself, how did we get to this stage in politics and civil society?
I remember how we despised the USSR and satellite nations for the show trials, and now, here we are.
Not only that but we have people in the public and on this blog who are rejoicing in the outcome.
What comes next?
The Government of Spain has said they will take up to 2 million refugees from Gaza.
I’m not sure the people will be so enthused but then they did vote for Christmas.
meanwhile you have to wonder if Gazans will take up the offer of being err voluntarily ethically cleansed.
Once in Spain what’s stopping them from going anywhere else in the EU?
The borders with Portugal and France are very lightly policed, that might change.
In conclusion the cabal is obviously controlling the Spanish government, that canal will be built.

It seems when various Spanish government officials declare that Israel is committing a genocide they are merely giving ‘personal opinions’ otherwise based on a Spanish supreme court ruling in 2020 Spain would be obligated to take anyone from Gaza who wanted to claim asylum.
The BBC is no better than the ABC and when you add the plummy condescension it’s almost worse.

Thanks Roger. You really wonder about Army Officer selection when someone like Wilkie was even a contender.
I wonder has mUnturd put the photo of Merchan up alongside those of Beria and Freisler yet.
Then he can light a candle before them each morning
This more or less sums up my thoughts on the Trump conviction, more eloquently than I would have put it.
https://borepatch.blogspot.com/2024/05/rubicon.html
The Democratic Party has crossed the Rubicon. What’s strange is that they’re in a fairly weak position, which implies that we will see a ratcheting up of more of their actions to protect “our Democracy”. I don’t see any possibility that they will ratchet any of this down; on the contrary, Trump’s chances of being Epsteined in jail are getting a lot of discussion these days.
But Rubicon isn’t quite the proper analogy. I posted what I thought was the right analogy back on January 6, 2020. It’s sad to see that it reads every bit as true today as it did then, including an ancient Roman Epsteining.
Dura lex, sed lex.
Enoch Powell was one of the first politicians to be de-platformed. As with most of these sorts of innovations, this happened in the Old World in the 1960s. I posted about this seven years ago, although Google can no longer find this; DuckDuckGo can, though (and that tells you everything you need to know about search engines):
Today we saw the occupation of the Capitol building by people “annoyed” by what they (and many others) see as the theft of a Presidential election. The protesters chased off first the Capitol Hill police and then the Congress itself. It looks like one women lost her life, shot by a cop. We’ll have to see – early news is notoriously unreliable.
But looking at this, I thought of Virgil. He of course, did not make up the Aeneid out of whole cloth; Virgil wrote propaganda for the first Roman Emperor, Augustus. The Aeneid was propaganda, but what propaganda. It made Caesar Augustus’ family history into legend. Because it was propaganda, it was exaggeration, but it was useful exaggeration to Augustus who while not related to the Great Leaders of the previous century was able to deftly exploit those leaders’ exploits to his own advantage.
The most important leader at the beginning of the end of the Roman Republic was Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus, He was the guy who noticed that while the Roman Republic had swept all foreign enemies before it, the working class had suffered despite the great riches of empire. Tiberius Gracchus decided to run for public office despite his great family wealth, and to put forth his formidable political skills to benefit the Roman Working Joe. He failed, because the Roman political establishment buried their traditional political differences in the face of Gracchus’ challenge, and in fact had him killed.
In short, the Roman Deep State closed ranks to block needed reform. It was the beginning of the end of the Roman Republic as long cherished political norms (Mos Maiorum) were cast aside. And so two generations of the Roman political elite were exterminated in a civil war so profound that what was left of the exhausted Republican Elite welcomed the first Imperator with open arms because he ended the civil wars.
Throughout this whole period in Roman History, the Law was supreme. Of course, the Law bent to the prevailing political winds. As the Roman said, “The Law is harsh, but it is the Law”. Dura Lex, sed Lex.
Donald Trump is the Tiberius Gracchus of our day. He is the guy who noticed that while the American Republic had swept all foreign enemies before it, the working class had suffered despite the great riches of empire. Donald Trump decided to run for public office despite his great family wealth, and to put forth his formidable political skills to benefit the American Working Joe. He failed, because the American political establishment buried their traditional political differences in the face of Trump’s challenge, and in fact had him [well, we’ll have to see if they let him live free, or jail him, or kill him].
But Tiberius Gracchus had many supporters, who didn’t let the Roman political elite rest easy. Likewise with Donald Trump, as we saw today:
Some of Gracchus’ supporters were killed, as we saw today. Looking forward, I am filled with foreboding. Like the Roman, I seem to see the river Potomac foaming with much blood. We’re already started, it seems. The only questions really remaining is who is to play the part of Augustus Caesar, and how many of the elite families (and, it must be said, other families) must die before a grateful Republic reaches for their savior Emperor?
But the Founding Fathers knew about the failings of the Roman Republic. They strived to avoid them in their Republic. As a student of history I must say that they avoided the Roman pitfalls for 200 years. Not bad at all.
Never mind that the Romans avoided these for almost 500 years. God Save this Honorable Republic.

Scott Austic report argues jury wrongly acquitted WA man over Stacey Thorne’s murder
A headline-grabbing case of false imprisonment — the conviction and then acquittal of Scott Austic for the 2007 murder of Stacey Thorne — has been upended by an explosive report that torpedoes claims he was framed for the crime.
The 32-page review of the police investigation and four related court cases suggests the jury got it wrong in the West Australian man’s final trial, freeing a cold-blooded killer who would go on to win a $1.6 million compensation payout.
That jury believed his claims that he was framed by detectives, who were accused of planting key pieces of evidence in the days after Ms Thorne’s body was found riddled with stab wounds in the South West WA town of Boddington.
The case is etched in legal history and was the subject of documentaries on Channel 7’s Sunday Night program and the ABC’s Australian Story.
Twelve years after he was sent to jail for life — and four years after he walked out a free man, a previously secret report into the long-running saga has been tabled in WA’s State Parliament.
That investigation reveals new information about the legitimacy of three pieces of evidence Mr Austic’s lawyers said was planted: a blood-stained cigarette packet at the father-of-two’s house, a can of bourbon and cola outside Ms Thorne’s flat, and a knife in a field near the murder site.
Shadow police minister Peter Collier last week tabled the report, which was compiled by former police officer-turned-private investigator Robyn Cottman at the behest of Ms Thorne’s family, who are appalled that her murder remains unsolved.
“Having read a report compiled by Cottman Investigation Services into Stacey’s murder, I feel duty bound to make comment on her murder,” Mr Collier said.
“If I don’t, and I remain silent, I will be accepting a standard that I walk past. I am not prepared to accept this standard. Stacey deserves more.”
The report raises compelling questions by producing evidence that refutes claims of evidence-tampering, specifically that:
According to this tweet Mahmoud Nashabt, a Fatah man, was murdered by Hamas yesterday, that might explain the show of strength at his funeral.
No doubt will be added to the Israeli genocide total.
Further someone in the replies says the killer was a member of the Al-Baz family and the murder relates to an old vendetta, and that Hamas rule had controlled the old (tribal) bullying and retribution that was part of life in Gaza.
Truly a paradise.

Season update (Riverina Edition)
Finished all dryland ground last Sunday and all irrigated ground Thursday evening, just in time for the 48mm of flannery which soaked us in the early hours Friday morning.
4,654ha on my rigs meter with the other, much smaller seeder doing just shy of 1000ha. It does all the irrigated ground and some smaller dryland blocks.
All this ground save for the 570ha of lentils had at least 100kg/ha of urea spread pre sowing, with 200kg on the irrigated canola and durum.
Nearly all ground was “double knocked” prior to sowing (Initial hit of Glyphosate followed after a few days by paraquat mixed with the pre emergent), so control of problem weeds has again been excellent.
We made a bit of a bold management decision re changing the last dryland paddock (420ha) from the planned field peas to a late, short season, canola.
This was based on various long range forecast models predicting a very wet spring with the onset of another LaNina.
In this scenario legume crops get hammered by disease and can’t cope with having “wet feet” as well as other crop types.
The canola option still gives us a rotation out of cereals, albeit with higher input costs but a much greater chance of something to harvest at the other end if it gets wet wet and all the dams and river systems fill up yet again.
Latest Ag Weather update from Nutrien.
Ag Forecast for Australia with Eric Snodgrass (in-depth) | May 29, 2024 (youtube.com)
The update previous to this, plus information from a couple of other long range forecasters prompted the change to late canola.
I did post this last night on the OOT and for those who haven’t seen it it is worth at least going to the 16:30min mark to see how far out our BOM is with their predictions. It’s obvious they are politically compromised.
As mentioned we had 40mm+ on Friday morning, on top of 80mm two weeks previous and 10mm a week before that!
Prior to this rain I was flat out spreading urea on the dryland canola, including my small empire of 305ha. You couldn’t order a better scenario and because we were able to start sowing into moisture on the 11th April we have near 75% ground cover with canola already.
I feel for Gez and others down there who have been sowing “dry”, my harvesting clients south of Horsham have been sending me photos of airseeders shrouded in dust for a couple of weeks.
After a bit of a spell the next operations will be post emergent spraying for grass weeds as well as fence lines etc and the ever required R&M.
That’ll do for now, going to walk the woofers around the house paddock.

Brittany Higgins to wed David Sharaz at The Valley Estate in Currumbin, Qld
By duncan evans
Former Liberal staffer Brittany Higgins will marry David Sharaz at one of Australia’s most exclusive and elegant wedding venues.
The couple are expected to tie the knot at the stunning The Valley Estate venue at Currumbin Water, about 25km south of the Gold Coast on Saturday.
The pair, who have moved to France, will exchange their vows following Mr Sharaz’s proposal at Byron Bay on New Year’s Eve in 2022.
The Valley Estate boasts an elegant red-brick “manor”, chapel and jetty and an open terrace space with fountains and beautiful lawns.
“The Manor is a bright and impossibly beautiful space that features dramatic arched windows and grand chandeliers,” the venue’s website states.
“A space where industrial influences and textures coalesce.
“There’s truly no better place for your reception – a place where memories are made.”
The venue also hosts multiple settings for the ceremony, including a non-denominational chapel and a jetty on the bank of a lake.
“The Valley Estate Chapel is wildly charming, understated and exquisitely finished,” the website states.
“Antique oak pews and lead glass windows frame spectacular hinterland views.”
“So Fatah have declared war on Israel? Gooood. Now the IDF can legally conquer the PA area on the West Bank.”
That’s not the conclusion I drew.
Looks like predictions the Sharaz Higgins alliance is crumbing were premature.

The contrast could not have been more stark. We are clearly existing in the stupidest time in human history.
That you and your ideological inbred cousins cheer this on just shows how truly demented for power you people are.
It’s also very telling that support for Trump is growing ever more strong, showing us that, even though the world is infested with dross like you, there are enough people still in it with base common sense and an intuition as to what is right and what is wrong.

(How, by the way, does allowing wholesale immigration to wealthier, freer countries assist the countries of origin to develop, other than stranding those without means in an even less viable environment as those with the means abandon it?).
That’s a rhetorical question, of course, because the encouragement of wholesale immigration to ‘the West’ (How many do you see wishing to move to Somalia?) has NOTHING AT ALL to do with improving the circumstances of those with means who can up-sticks. They are simply tools to achieve a deeper, destructive, morally repugnant agenda. (The anti-wholesale immigration movement needs to switch tactics from the immigrants themselves, to questioning the motives of those who enable these stealth invasions to occur).

If I may paraphrase:
The only thing more dangerous than ignorance AND arrogance, is the ability and willingness to conceal them both.
Encouraging the flight from difficult countries used to be discouraged as I remember it when I was a child in the 60s. Western countries sent help there in the form of missionaries and the Peace Corp to teach people how to improve their lives and their countries.
Nowadays we incentivise them to come here by giving them freebies and all sorts of benefits just to artificially mask our own economic state. Who is the immoral actor here? Is it the oppressors and tyrants in the immigrants’ homelands or it our government?
If the UN were really interested in the third world it would work to bring democracy, peace and prosperity to African countries and distressed ones on other continents. It is completely immoral to justify doing nothing by saying you do not wish to interfere with their culture.
The same goes for our local do-gooders who do not wish to change the conditions in remote aboriginal communities in the name of respecting their culture. When are we going to admit that a culture that damages its people cannot be legitimate?

From ADVANCE AUSTRALIA:
There are many wolves at our door right now.
Islamic terrorism, war in Ukraine, an increasingly hostile China, inflation and the cost-of-living crisis.
But here’s a question for you, one I’m often asked.
What’s the biggest domestic political threat to Australia’s freedom, security and prosperity?
Hands down, for me it’s the Greens.
When they first appeared out of nowhere in the 1980s, they were easy to dismiss as hippies and tree huggers.
But then they started winning elections.
First, a few senators. Now, more than 40 MPs across the country.
There have even been at least five Greens appointed ministers in Labor/Greens alliance governments.
That’s happened in both Tasmania and the ACT.
It’s only a matter of time before it happens federally.
The Greens are now a serious and effective political force.
Every election, they take a little more ground.
In 2021, Max Chandler-Mather – who is now the baby-faced Greens MP for the federal seat of Griffith – gave a speech to his fellow activists about his 18-year plan to win government1 (he’ll be in his late 40s if he pulls it off).
He spoke about how voters are becoming “disconnected from the traditional ways our Australian political system works”.
And how this is an opportunity for the Greens to win elections.
Chandler-Mather said the Greens are not just trying to win seats, but are devising a strategy that “can fundamentally transform the politics and the economy and society in this country”.
I think we should take him at his word.
They are coming for the most powerful positions in the country. They want a Greens Prime Minister.
Australians have to know that they can’t vote for Greens thinking that they will never be in a position of power.
You and I have to warn them – voting Greens is not a victimless crime.
And the victim is you.
If the Greens ever get their hands on the levers, here’s a taste of what they say would happen:
> Petrol and diesel cars banned by 2030.2
> You’d pay billions to overseas countries as compo for your “role in the climate crisis and the ongoing damage caused by imperialism”.3
> Implementation of an extremist gender agenda in our schools.4
> Private and independent schools would be defunded, driving up fees for both private and public schools.5
> They would tear down Australia’s borders by abolishing the Australian Border Force, ending boat turnbacks and allowing illegal immigrants to settle in Australia rather than sending them to offshore detention.6
The only reason they can get away with it is because too many Australians don’t know what they really stand for.
They’re right of course but the punters have a lot of sheep, useful idiots and grifters so the blame lies there as well.
Hopefully Mr. Trump’s marketing team will design t-shirts with his face and the text ‘Convicted Felon.’
The ideal tactic here would be to own (and take advantage of) the label his enemies consider to be a coffin-nailer.
“Since 1975, an average of 2,808 trains have derailed each year, with a peak of 9,400 derailments in 1978″
” In 2022, train derailments were down to 1,259″
I guess that’s a no for increasing train derailments.
https://usafacts.org/articles/are-train-derailments-becoming-more-common/
Is the inference of NY bringing these charges and Trump’s guilty verdict that politicians can use campaign money to pay hush money to prostitutes and that’s a legitimate campaign expense??
On the immigration ruling which allows crims to stay because “ties to Straya”.
Interesting to reflect on the evolution of this issue.
It all started with Saint Jacinda crying “snot fair” over Kiwis being shipped back over the dutch after serving time here for serious crimes.
Luigi was all in on the plan with Jacinda at the time.
Now?
Well, with Saint Jacinda gone and, with a conservative in the chair in New Zulland, the hand of co-operation and friendship is no longer being extended to our Antipodean cousins.
Luigi is now running with “Immigration policy will be determined in Straya’s national interests”.
Which is pretty much what Dutton was saying at the time the ill-fated policy was struck.
But he was a racist.
Yesterday a family member who watches the ABC started telling me about the awful waste of clothing that occurs in the west.
Stop right there I said. This is part of a narrative being pushed by the progressive left.
I don’t care if people buy cheap clothes and while I want people in the third world to have decent working conditions I don’t want them to starve because the clothing industry closes down.
People complaining about clothing being dumped in South America and Ghana should pay for it to be donated to the poor in Burundi, where many people are wearing rags.
It’s just another element of climate change emergency that isn’t an emergency when something more fashionable comes along.

Meanwhile in Australia, Shorten receives tens of thousands in campaign donations undeclared. Donations from a business whose workers he was meant to be representing.

No charges, and the left didn’t give a shit.

Since the military arm of the party in power in Ramallah committed an even worse attack on Israel than Pearl Harbor it is now within Israel’s moral and national right to do what the US did.
Unfortunately, Israel has fallen into the popular trap of reading the media interpretations .. What should have happened was straight in, hangings from lamposts and infrastructure devastation from Oct 8 .. Instead Israel had a slow start coupled with far too many “this is what will happen” media updates ..
As time has gone on they have taken more & more notice of outside criticism whilst Hamas has revelled in the anti Israel press & somehow seems to have enuf men & fire power to keep on going …..
If Israel doesn’t take the “gloves” off soon they’ll be in a “no-win” stalemate Allowing both Fatah & Hezbollah to feel bold enuf to join in ……!

Just looking at Trump’s NDA with the slut again:
Stormy Daniels is suing Trump, claiming the “hush agreement” is void – Vox
Trump did not sign it, only Cohen and stormy both with pseudonyms. The payment to stormy occurred before Trump became POTUS but was cleared by the Federal Elections Commission, FEC, in 2021. Merchan would not allow the FEC official Brad Smith called by Trump to testify to this point. The payment to cohen occurred after Trump became POTUS so it can’t be electoral interference. The 34 charges against Trump all refer to the payment to cohen which occurs 34 times in the ledgers. Since cohen paid stormy out of his own pocket and then billed Trump for this how can there be an offence in there. We know cohen lied about alleged meetings and phone calls he had with Trump about the stormy payment so I reckon Trump knew nothing about it.

Not privy to the financial arrangements of the knicker-less, but like most lotto winners she may think it will last for ever.
It does not.
On the other hand, if she is smart and knows that she is about to lose a defamation suit, then why not spend it?
Cecil Woodham Smiths book “The Reason Why” about the Charge of the Light Brigade, notes that the cavalry, sent to the Crimea in 1854 were “completely ignorant of the art of war, had no experience, no education and no ability. (Page 135.)
Doesn’t sound as though much has changed, in anybodies army.
TheirABC keeps promoting 1970s (the last time, but there are numerous failed antecedents) lifestyles as a solution to the housing problem.
No amount of previous failures seems to deter the proponents of hope over experience:
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-06-01/three-households-embrace-communal-living/103484330
Photographer Aishah Kenton looks at three households embracing communal living to see if Australians can adapt their way of life as housing becomes ever more unaffordable.
TheirABC has no problem at all with the proles having to ‘adapt their way of life’ – something I doubt that their well-paid employees will have to do.
No matter how many times their socialist town planning projects fail, and fail miserably, they keep regurgitating the same crap.
Much to their disgust, punters prefer (shock! horror!) a piece of land and a house to call their own.
I know, right. People in LA or London with huge houses and massive carbon footprints concur. The proles need to lower their expectations.
They can go and … insert suggestion here.
Military officers are often not the best and brightest. Giving people authority over others can bring out the worst and sometimes best in people.
Now that you mention it, I’ve had dozens of managers, none of which were spending their own money, yet had complete control over my income.
And I’ll concede only about 50% were even there on merit. And every one of one them will stand up and talk about teamwork, compassion and every other bullshit you can imagine before stabbing someone they dislike, because they can.
So Fatah have declared war on Israel? Gooood. Now the IDF can legally conquer the PA area on the West Bank.”
That’s not the conclusion I drew.

Multiple strokes of political idiocy from mUnturd this morning.
First, mUnturd reminded us that there remain multiple allegations of rape against Bill Clinton, and at least one of sexual assault against Creepy Joe. He did this by suggesting that Trump had been found guilty of rape. Not so, the (highly dubious) allegation was beaten, and a weak-kneed claim of sexual assault replaced it.
Then he reminded us that the then Senator Biden pushed a law that had the effect of putting large numbers of blacks in jail.
Then we were reminded that “Judge” Merchan has a court room style that Roland Freisler might have admired. We have still to see how Beria might have admired his sentencing style.
Robert Pickton is murdered in prison: Canadian serial killer confessed to killing 49 women whose remains he fed to his pigs
Daily Mail. Sorry bout that!
the cavalry, sent to the Crimea in 1854 were “completely ignorant of the art of war, had no experience, no education and no ability.
Then again, the Light Brigade held together all the way to the Russian guns, attacked the gunners, cut their way out, and made their way albeit shattered back to the British lines.
While Cardigan and several other senior commanders were clowns, the troopers were sound enough.
We spend most of our life in the country, so maybe we notice social urban change more than most. But we are incredulous at what seems like a quite sudden suburban development around our Sydney home viz the complete saturation of available street suburban parking.
Who drives all these vehicles? At first we thought it was commuters, leaving their vehicles to take the short trip into the city centre. But n0 – because these vehicles are still there on weekends. We speculate it must be the (now) teenage children who can’t afford to leave their nest.
BTW it is not just our suburb – as friends in neighbouring areas testify to the same development. And it is a reasonably recent development ie in the last 4 years or so.
Anything to do with a post Covid effect? Working from home….????
Wrong. Stormy was a hostess at one of Trumps casinos, and used the opportunity to ply her trade and also blackmail her clients, which was not good for Trumps business, so he fired her.
The payment and NDA was “go away” money, paid by just about every business I am aware of when a termination is contested.
Trump has denied any type of sexual contact or intercourse has taken place, and there is a document circulating on the web purportedly from Stormy agreeing that there was no sex.
Gee whiz, this a fast track.

Whilst the likes of our own low IQ Hamas bumboy and his fellow comrades on the left are cheering the Trump conviction, I don’t doubt that they will one day reap the ferocious whirlwind from this political travesty.
Oh and further to ‘rape’ and Trump, I reckon there’s more evidence of a rape at a Young Labor camp in 1988 than any rape committed by Donald Trump. Which begs the question, why can’t that woman have her day in court?
I think the Dimocrat hangover is starting to kick in.
Yesterday they were gleefully reading out “guilty” to each of the 34 counts in sequence (we couldn’t simply say “guilty on 34 charges”) and pontificating about da fairness of the NY justice system.

Two things are starting to dawn on them.
Firstly, they thought they could just beat the adultery drum and the stupid red-necks in the Bible Belt would drop him like a hot spud. Didn’t happen.
Secondly, and following on from the inability to cruel Donald in the polls, there is rising panic among Dimocrats of Orange Man Vengeance.

Where Do We Go From Here? | Power Line (John Hinderaker, 31 May)
I should reread Colonel Kurt Schlichter’s Kelly Turnbull novels, this time as a manual, not a warning.
In those days the rich basically bought command of a Regiment and became its Colonel.
The most experienced officers in the Crimean campaign were those who had served in India where had plenty of action. Naturally they were ignored and looked down upon by the ones whose experience was based on buying their way up through different Regiments.
Reason Why is a great book.
“cavalry, sent to the Crimea in 1854 were “completely ignorant of the art of war, had no experience, no education and no ability. (Page 135.)”
In modern times I guess it would be like Kerry Stokes buying command of 1st Armoured. That would be because could not outbid Gina for command of the SAS. Clive would naturally get 6 RAR and the Atlassian billionaires the Sydney battalions.
Fluffy Annaliese keeps saying Trump alleges that the trial was rigged.
Anyone with a functional brain could see how badly it was rigged from indictment to verdict.
Hey, Dover – check your email, Squire!
the Light Brigade held together all the way to the Russian guns, attacked the gunners, cut their way out, and made their way albeit shattered back to the British lines.
Yes, the crazy charge was a result of misinterpreting an order, and the fact that they succeeded to a degree is amazing and flies in the face of so many jump-start interpretations that would indicate failure. Australian cavalry had its charge, a story of success, at Beersheba, in WW1.
Coroners inquests are descending into mystical Woo in WA.
https://www.coronerscourt.wa.gov.au/I/inquest_into_the_suspected_death_of_tristan_frank.aspx
At the time of the inquest, it was the opinion of the investigating police and Tristan’s next of kin that Tristan was deceased, although his remains had not been recovered. The WA Police believe the evidence supports the conclusion Tristan wandered off from the townsite and likely became lost and disoriented in the harsh conditions and died in the days after 3 December 2020. Specialist opinion from a survival expert suggested he was probably deceased before the official search for Tristan even commenced. Tristan’s family had been consulted by police on many occasions, and they have maintained a firm position that they do not believe voluntarily left the townsite, but rather believe he was taken by ‘Featherfoot men’ who are capable of making themselves and Tristan invisible and have concealed him from discovery somewhere in the lands outside the Balgo Community. Some of Tristan’s family members can still feel Tristan’s spirit, although they have been able to find his physical remains. Either way, all parties appear to be sure that Tristan is no longer alive, and neither the police nor Tristan’s family believe any person was responsible for Tristan’s death, in the sense that person might be able to be arrested and prosecuted under Western Australian law.
I and many millions of people certainly hope that they get what’s coming to them. The Democrats need a really good bloody nose or they will not give up on the thuggery that they find so irresistible.

THE DAILY CHART from Powerline: WHAT TERRIFIES DEMOCRATS ABOUT THE ELECTION
There’s a couple of scary charts there for the Dems.
“The Reason Why” relates the experience in the Peninsular, with a young officer of Hussars, who joined his regiment with a stud of blood horses, three grooms, and two carriages, one of which carried his plate and linen. On being ordered to outpost duty, and required to leave his comforts behind, he remarked that campaigning was not for gentlemen, and went home. (Page 153.)
What is the truth about the Trump hush money case?
Can someone tell me in a couple of bullet points what the damning evidence was?
Here is what I found so far.
At USA Today :
There a list of cheque stubs and general ledger entries that support the fact the payments were made (at least to Cohen).
So what’s the crime exactly? By way of Politifact:
So they have to show this was coverup for another (2nd) crime. But Politifact goes on to say:
Surely if paying hush money was itself a crime then the prosecutor and all the articles about this case would say so. So the hush money doesn’t count.
The payment to Stormy was made – legally. The concealing of the Stormy payment via Cohen was not covering a 2nd crime, so there should not have been a felony conviction for doing so. Is that basically it?
If m0nty is around perhaps he’d like to chime in with more evidence or argument on this point.
Vicki, this is more interesting than you may at first believe.

University of Queensland comes to agreement with protesters, encampments to be discontinued
Encampments at the University of Queensland are to be discontinued after the institution reached an agreement with UQ Muslim Students for Palestine on Saturday.
In a statement, the university outlined its commitments and has agreed to publish a statement on its approach to sensitive research and, where possible, a list of its holdings and research in agreed areas as part of UQ’s annual disclosures.
It will also host a dedicated speaker series which will “inform the development of a university-wide Anti-racism Commitment”.
In addition, UQ will double its refugee and humanitarian scholarships, focusing on students from Gaza. Support will be increased for academics impacted by humanitarian crises through the global Scholars at Risk network membership.
So, as with the University of Sydney, UQ has succumbed to Muslim and far-left threats, intimidation and bullying. More and more universities are succumbing to Jew hatred and will divest itself of associations with Jews.
This will not end well. Anyone else reminded of the 1930s? I am. So, I have posted a comment, just one word….
UQuisling
My comment remains in moderation. I thought it was pretty clever and succinct but evidently the Oz moderators don’t like the truth.
‘Universities’ are just marxist cesspits and need to be shunned. Time to bring back Institutes of Technology without Journalism courses. Time to move towards to on line and on the job training. The post Murray Report expansion of hiya ejuchasun has been a disaster. Look at Flinders ‘University’ which gave us Redgum. Just one example.
Redgum was formed in 1975 when three students at Flinders University, John Schumann, Michael Atkinson and Verity Truman collaborated for a musical assessment piece for their Politics and Art course.[2] The trio quickly gained fame around the university community for their forthright songs, and by 1976 had been joined by violinist Chris Timms who had previously attended Flinders University.[2] The group were soon in demand for parties, pubs and rallies throughout South Australia and Victoria. On the first album, If You Don’t Fight You Lose (1978) Redgum showed it was one of the few Australian bands prepared to tackle domestic politics and culture. “One More Boring Night in Adelaide” for some will remain, despite some of its dated references, a classic analysis of Australian provincial parochialism. Initially a part-time band, performing weekends and school holidays (two members were teachers), it was only after they released their second album, Virgin Ground (late 1980), to strong sales and critical acclaim, that the group became full-time and started touring nationally.[2]
