‘IT WAS THE JEWS!’ Screams Candace Owens On First Round Of ‘Clue’
They don’t make ’em tough like that any more
——————
Cassius Clay was an absolute badass. Like, on some surreal John Wick level.
In 1843, Clay was addressing his constituents in Kentucky, standing at an embankment.
An assassin ran up from within the crowd and fired at him, hitting him in the chest. Clay beat the man with his silver-tipped cane, then wrestled him into submission.
Holding him down with one hand, he took his Bowie knife, cutting off the gunman’s nose and ear. Then lifted the man off the ground, throwing him off the embankment…
He did all that with a bullet lodged in his chest. Cassius Clay lived to 92 with that bullet still in him.
One of the world’s greatest fighters was named after him… and then decided “Muhammad Ali” was a more badass name.
I disagree — they don’t make ’em any more hardcore than the original Cassius Clay.

“IT WAS THE JEWS!” Owens cried
My father once told me that anti-Semitism, or the more accurate description of Jew hatred, sends people stark raving mad.
I have often wondered why we Jews have always been the whipping boys but it’s been like that for three millennia, it even begins as far back as Egypt prior to the exodus.
Some say it’s jealousy, but what are people jealous of? For most of history, throughout those three millennia, particularly after the destruction of the second temple, we Jews have been dirt poor, a marginalised, impoverished and very despised minority, frequently persecuted. Pogroms were the norm, culminating in the Holocaust. Our persecutors could never make up their minds about what exactly they hated about us, it shifted from religious to economic to racial. But despite this we clung and we still cling stubbornly to our faith, to our heritage, a heritage that goes back to Abraham and Sarah.
So, why this unhinged obsession? Jew hatred always united the far-left and the far-right. Both fringes agree on many things but what ties them intimately, like a marriage made in hell, is Jew hatred.
I’m reminded of a story about Frederick the Great, perhaps apocryphal, perhaps not. Frederick the Great was a man who didn’t much care for religion, and he didn’t much care for Prussia’s Jews. When he was a teenager the young precocious Frederick once demanded of his Lutheran pastor proof that God exists, and the pastor is said to have given Frederick a two-word answer…..
‘The Jews’
And therein lies the rub. Fred’s Lutheran pastor was quite correct, it is the Jews who provide the world with the evidence of God’s existence, and that’s why we’re hated. Fred of Prussia never forgave the Jews for this, he grew up to persecute Jews. And the world will never forgive the Jews for it either.
Jew hatred is a direct assault on God, it is an assault on morality, on decency and on truth.
The survival of the Jews IS a miracle of history, it is testament to the existence of God. Mediocrities like Candace Owens, the Iranian mullahs, Senator Penny Pong, forked tongue Albo, the hideous Nazi Greens, and the rest of the far-left and far-right will all one day be confined to the dustbin of history whilst we Jews will survive, but we survive at a cost, a hideous cost. But if one day the Jew haters get their way and we Jews are disappeared, a light that shines on this planet will be gone……forever and the world will sink into permanent darkness.
Can anyone explain to me what the $7.70cap on OAP medical prescriptions applies too ..? ..

Yet never once have I had one that cost only $7.70 .. They’ve all ranged from, at least, $8.80 thru to $30 even tho I produce my OAP card ..

Bravo Cassie – as I said last night I was once a fan of the feisty Candace Owens but even when she’d joined the Daily Wire I could not listen to her podcasts due to her mode of speaking and pronunciation of words which to me indicated a somewhat shallow intellect – Does she think anti-semitism makes her a better Catholic — ask that great observer of behaviour Bugs Bunny says — What a maroon, what an ignroanamus
.
For me the Jews will always be God’s Chosen People and perhaps their very existence bears witness to the miraculous existence of God.
Listened last year to the Socrates in the City podcast by Eric Metaxas – his guest was an observant Jewish fellow by the name of Michael Medved and the topic was God’s Hand on America – fascinating details about the US that were seemingly impossible but for a belief in the hand of God in the miraculous outcomes.

One suggestion – the government would be well advised to avoid QLD blowhard Ali Kadri, who has humbly nominated himself for the position.

WOKE COMEDIAN’S MELTDOWN AFTER SNIFFER DOG IDENTIFIED HIM (MELBOURNE AIRPORT, AUSTRALIA)

Mass migration is really a separate issue from the Gazan visas. It folds into the top three issues of housing affordability, real wage decline (aka declining standards of living) and unsustainable demand on government services such as hospitals and schools.
Labor’s incompetence is providing a target rich environment, yet the Libs are choosing to major on a minor issue in the public’s mind according to the polling at present. Yes, it’s yielding dividends, but it’s not an election winner unless the situation in the ME explodes. Mind you, Dutton has stupidly said he’s happy to take more ME refugees, as he in fact did in the past as Abbott’s immigration minister.
What we’re seeing atm is a leadership contest in the Uniparty, not a serious proposal for an alternative government that will reverse the direction of the country.
C’mon, Liberals…prove me wrong.

While inside they euthanise a senile, vicious old man’s political career, outside mobs of communist louts shriek for the end of America.

The banked track strewn with blind people and one armed people tangled in their bikes – each lying at the end of along streak in the polish where their faces brought their bodies to a halt – while the ‘winner’ dances about punching the air with his raised fist and whooping in victory.
It will help people forget the opening ceremony where a corpulent tranny going by the name Jesina Christina, wearing nothing but a crown of thorns and two stickers reading “IN” and “RI” on its nipples, moaned in ecstasy while another tranny, wearing a Satan mask and a devil’s tail, slid a lubricated crucifix in and out of Jesina’s butthole – and all the predictable griping by Christians that “their beliefs are being mocked”.

IDF recovers remains of six hostages murdered in Gaza
The hostages were identified as Avraham Munder, Yoram Metzger, Nadav Popplewell, Yagev Buchshtav, Chaim Peri and Alex Dancyg.
The Israel Defense Forces on Tuesday morningrecovered the bodies of six hostages kidnapped on Oct. 7, from a tunnel inKhan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.
In an operation involving the IDF and Israel Security Agency, the bodies ofAvraham Munder, Yoram Metzger, Nadav Popplewell, Yagev Buchshtav,Chaim Peri and Alex Dancyg were located more than 10 months after the Hamas massacre.

The total number of hostages remaining in the hands of Hamas in Gaza nowstands at 109.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that every effort will continue to be made to return all of the abductees, both alive and dead.
“Our hearts grieve over the terrible loss. My wife Sara and I convey our heartfelt condolences to the dear families. I would like to thank the brave IDF and ISA fighters and commanders for their heroism and determined action,” the premier stated.
Israeli President Isaac Herzog said, “We must not stop for a moment from working in every way possible to bring back all the hostages, the living to the embrace of their families, and the dead to be laid to rest. This is Israel’s highest moral duty.”
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant called it a “daring and dangerous operation in the Hamas tunnels in Khan Younis.”
“I share in the mourning and the heavy sorrow of the families,” he said, adding, that the operation was “another expression of the determination and courage of the fighters, alongside the operational freedom of action that we have achieved all over the Gaza Strip. We will continue to expand it and realize the goals of the war, the dissolution of Hamas, and the fulfillment of our commitment to return all abductees to Israel.”
Avraham Munder, 79, was kidnapped from Kibbutz Nir Oz along with his wife Ruthi,their daughter Keren and 9-year-old grandson Ohad. Ruthi, Keren and Ohad were released in the November hostage deal. Their son, Roi, was murdered during the Hamas-led massacre on Oct. 7 along with some 1,200 others.
“We will always remember Munder, with his clear voice, his warm smile and his endless love for his family and the kibbutz,” the kibbutz said in a statement.
Yoram Metzger, 80, also a member of Nir Oz, was kidnapped alive and the IDF announced his death about two months ago. His wife, Tamar, who was also kidnapped to Gaza, was released in November.
“He worked at the Nirlat factory and in recent years in a garage. Member of the Kibbutz Winery. Father of three sons and grandfather of seven grandchildren. Yoram will be remembered in all of our hearts as a pleasant and smiling man, who always made everyone feel immediately at home,” the kibbutz said.
Chaim Peri, 80, was also kidnapped from Nir Oz, of which he was a member. Chaim was 80 years old, father of five children and grandfather of 13 grandchildren. An entrepreneur, humanist and peace activist. On the day of the massacre at the kibbutz, Chaim managed to save his wife Asanat before being kidnapped himself. He survived in inhumane conditions in the Hamas tunnels for months, until he was brutally murdered in captivity,” the kibbutz said.
Yagev Buchshtav’s death was announced on July 22. He was kidnapped from Kibbutz Nirim, where the 34-year-old resided. His wife, Rimon Kirsht Buchshtav, was abducted with him and then released on Nov. 28 as part of aceasefire agreement.
Alex Dancyg, 76, was kidnapped from Kibbutz Nir Oz. The IDF
announced his death in late July, along with that of Yagev Buchshtav.
“Alex Dancyg was a historian, educator and farmer. Born to Holocaust survivors, he became one of the founders of educational delegations to Poland. Alex worked at Yad Vashem for about 30 years, where he trained thousands of guides in Holocaust education,
“Hostages who were held captive with him reported that Alex spent his time in captivity giving history lectures to fellow captives. Alex was an avid reader with a passion for history and enjoyed various sports. Yesterday would have been his 76th birthday,” the statement continued.
Yad Vashem chairman Dani Dayan paid tribute to Dancyg, saying, “Alex’s essence embodied both in spirit and substance his love for the land and thirst for knowledge. His vast library at his home in Kibbutz Nir Oz reflected his deep connection between his cherished Israeli and Jewish identity and his Polish birthplace.
“Alex successfully integrated these perspectives into his teaching of the events of World War II in general and of the Holocaust in particular. The news of his tragic death strengthens our commitment to ensure that Alex’s legacy and the stories he passionately preserved are never forgotten.”
The forum said of Yagev Buchshtav that he “was a humble and unassuming man who loved life in Kibbutz Nirim. A sound technician by profession, Yagev had a deep passion for music. From a young age, he played guitar and flute, later expanding to other instruments, some of which he built himself. Together with his wife Rimon, Yagev cared for five dogs and five cats, several of which they had rescued and rehabilitated.”
Nadav Popplewell’s death was announced on June 3. The 51-year-old British Israeli was taken from his home in Kibbutz Nirim by Hamas terrorists. His mother, Channah Peri, 79, was released in November.
May their memory be blessed. May their deaths be avenged by the IDF.

Given that the Darwin-Katherine system is presently supplied by 370MW gas/diesel gensets at Channel Island – with an exciting renewables plan to replace that with 320MW of solar plus 80MW of hydrogen and “specialty batteries” – there must be a pretty big renewable energy hub somewhere in the works.

Foucault – Patron Saint of Child Indoctrination | Logan Lancing

The ABC is having a waking wet dream about MAGA quisling Stephanie Grisham addressing the DNC convention:
Let’s set aside the fact that a press secretary’s job is literally to lie almost constantly to the country. And let’s also set aside the fact that it was unlikely her decision to not hold press briefings. What did she say at the time as to why she wasn’t holding them? Let’s check her Wikipedia entry:
Oh. So she did lie then. Or she’s lying now. Either way, she’s a liar. Let’s continue…
Grisham comes with receipts
Ooh this ought to be good, what’s she got? Let’s see them receipts!
Er that’s it? That’s the only “receipt”, the only piece of physical evidence she can present? A screenshot of two text messages, allegedly between Grisham and Melania Trump (although there is no information identifying these cheery texters), asking “do you want to tweet blah blah” and the response being “no”? (Of course Melania – assuming that is Melania – might have sent a subsequent response stating what she did want to tweet, but we don’t get to see any other messages in the thread.) So basically she has no compelling evidence that things were particularly dysfunctional behind the scenes in the Trump WH.
Furthermore, shouldn’t the ABC’s headline be ‘Grisham comes with a receipt’?
Although there is her witness testimony, in which she says:
Should this be believed? The problem is that we’ve already established she’s a liar. Speaking of receipts, let’s hop back to her Wikipedia page:
So was she lying then about Trump or is she lying now? Does it even matter? A liar is a liar. And there is also the wise adage that you should never trust a traitor to consider, and a traitor she unquestionably is.
With that said, one shouldn’t presume that, just because someone has a track record of lying, nothing they say could be truthful.
However, a proven liar has necessarily demonstrated the threshold at which they are willing to lie is lower than someone’s who is not inclined to lie. So we need to look at her incentives to lie. For instance, does she have a book to sell, that, oh, I don’t know, maybe purports to be a tell-all expose in which she dishes all the dirt of the Trump WH behind the scenes that her audience would be extremely interested in?
Why, yes, what a surprise! She certainly does.
Draw your own conclusions.
Indigenous dissidents’ role in Tanya Plibersek Regis mine callPaige Taylor, Ellie Dudley and Simon Benson
18 hours ago
72 comments
Tanya Plibersek was persuaded to rule against Regis’s full proposal for a $1bn goldmine after listening to a dissident Aboriginal corporation registered with just 18 members who list only their first names on the website of the Office of the Registrar of Indigenous Corporations.
There was surprise and anger on Tuesday at the minister’s decision to favour the advice of a small Bathurst-based Aboriginal corporation over the advice of the Orange Local Aboriginal Land Council – the statutory body with cultural authority under NSW legislation – which conducted its own surveys and found the project would not impact any known sites or artefacts of high significance.
The nation’s peak mining body called for clarity and transparency regarding the process that led Ms Plibersek to excise the headwaters of the Belubula River from the project.
Ms Plibersek on Tuesday defended her decision to listen to the Wiradyuri Traditional Owners Central West Aboriginal Corporation, a registered charity, saying that when opposition deputy leader Sussan Ley was environment minister, she listened to the same group before blocking a go-kart track on Mt Panorama “for very similar reasons”.
“Crucially, I have not said that the goldmine can’t go ahead; I have said that the tailings dam cannot be built on the headwaters of the river,” Ms Plibersek said.
“The company has previously said that they have investigated about four sites with about 40 different options for the tailings dam. If they are right in saying there is about $7bn worth of gold in this mine, then I think it’s in their interests to have a look at those alternative sites that they have previously investigated.”
Ms Ley told The Australian on Tuesday she was calling on Ms Plibersek “to set the record straight and stop misleading the Australian people over her unforgivable decision to kill the $1bn Regis McPhillamy’s goldmining site near Blayney”.
“Tanya Plibersek claims she is for the workers, but how can she be for the workers if she is willing to destroy their jobs and then deliberately mislead them about it?
“There is a very simple test here: a local go-kart track is not a $1bn goldmine. They are not ‘very similar’ and Tanya has been misleading in saying they are.”
One of the directors of the Wiradyuri Traditional Owners Central West Aboriginal Corporation is historian Lisa Paton, who formerly worked for the Orange Local Aboriginal Land Council. Another director is Yanhadarrambal Uncle Jade Flynn, who told The Australian on Tuesday that the corporation had no comment in response to questions about its membership, or its work or the McPhillamy Project.
The registrar of Indigenous corporations has previously dealt with complaints about the corporation including that its members’ full names are not listed online. This is permitted for privacy reasons.
On Tuesday, the Coalition introduced a disallowance motion in the Senate to overturn the government’s decision to apply an Indigenous heritage protection order on the goldmine.
The motion will be debated on Wednesday in the Senate but is unlikely to succeed.
“Minister Plibersek’s decision was wrong,” opposition environment spokesman Jonathan Duniam said. “She upturned four years of approvals processes by deciding against the advice of her own department, the state Labor government and the Orange Local Aboriginal Land Council, which has legislative authority to speak on behalf of the local Indigenous population, with a little known instrument that has literally halted a billion-dollar project.
The Minerals Council of Australia said it was disappointed by the federal government’s decision to intervene.
A small thought, yes I’m a man of small thoughts, Plubbers might be trying to destabilise Luigi the Unflushable. This could be her last hurrah attempt at leadership or at least to get rid of him.

Benson toeing the Uniparty line.
Can’t make up his mind. In one breath, Dutton is an attack dog on terrorist immigration because “it’s instinctive”. Nek minnit, it’s all because “he’s slavishly following party direction”.
Benson wants it to return to the polite Canberra parlour game of 1980’s politics … a gentle to-and-fro of domestic social and economic issues without anyone rocking the boat too much.
Here’s the thing.
It is entirely possible for a PM or an opposition leader to talk about two issues at once.
The point is, cost of living issues will still be here in twelve month’s time, and Dutton can’t shift the needle on that right now. But the importation of Hamas terrorists is irreversible once it happens and Dutton has some chance of smothering that one before it starts.
Benson is shit-scared of a side-swipe in the Parliamentary bar from Hyphen-Young or Steggles, hence the jelly-back advocacy.
It just might be that Dutton is achieving some traction with the national security line, over and above the obvious gift of economic ammunition which is already being deployed.
Can’t have that!
Live up to your name sir! Be rock steady with this one. The support is broader than the scribblers would have you believe.
You tell me, what kind of civilised people do this? From The Oz….
Netanyahu casts doubt on truce as Israel retrieves six dead hostages
Hamas is expected to reject the ceasefire deal with Israel proposed by the US, as the families of hostages held in Gaza have reportedly been sent threatening messages from the phones of their loved ones.
Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar has received the proposals, but Israeli media reports that Jerusalem expects him to stick to the Hamas line and turn the truce down.
It comes amid reports that Hamas has threatened to kill the hostages unless their families “fight the government,” and has demanded ransoms for their safety.
Some of the messages read: “If you don’t fight the government, you won’t see your loved ones return,” Channel 12 reports.
Israel’s intelligence services have warned the threats either come from Hamas or Iranian sources.
Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has also cast doubt on the prospect of a truce with Hamas as he met the grieving families of six hostages whose bodies were retrieved from Gaza by the Israeli military.
After speaking with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Monday, Mr Netanyahu stressed to victims groups that he would not budge on red lines, particularly Israel’s control over the Philadelphi Corridor between Gaza and Egypt.
“I am not sure that there will be a [hostage] deal,” Mr Netanyahu said according to a statement put out by victims groups.
“If there is a deal, it will be one that safeguards those [Israeli] interests which I have repeatedly stressed, which is preserving Israel’s strategic assets,” he said.
Earlier, the Israeli Defence Forces recovered the hostages’ bodies from Gaza’s southern area of Khan Younis.
Following intelligence and forensic analysis, the families of the dead hostages had been informed, the military said, without giving details of the operation in Khan Younis.
On October 7, Nazis from Gaza living people as hostages back into Gaza and they took dead corpses back into Gaza. There is no end to their barbarity. The head of one young IDF soldier was found in a freezer in Gaza. That’s Dahmer psychopathy. This is what Israel has to deal with.
And this is what the left support. They support rape and butchery.

Even I’ve had some diehard Liebor blokes telling me today they can’t handle the gaza visa for votes situation… I doubt it’ll switch their votes but interesting that Albow is p!ssing off his key (unionista) voters nonetheless…
So why are Luigi, Burqa and labore attempting to import as many hamarse terrorists as they can, as quickly as they can?
After all they are the bloody government, supposedly. Perhaps your question should have been directed at them, Benson, you dunce.
Blabbersack has the undeniable stench of desperation about her person.
Pimping her daughter a few months ago for votes went down in a screaming heap.
This is her last chance to solidify any imagined position she believes she is owed. If the Commos lose the next election, Blabbersack will be wandering the halls of Parliament House screaming “what was Tony Abbots’ part in this travesty”, until she is forceably retired on her sumptuous Parliamentary Pension.
“The Hag is astride this night for to ride”.
“It comes amid reports that Hamas has threatened to kill the hostages unless their families “fight the government,” and has demanded ransoms for their safety.”
My reply: you will kill them anyway, why should I believe you?
Here is my counter offer: return the hostages or die along with every single person in your God-forsaken neighborhood. You may be holding those dear to me hostage, I am now holding your entire city to hostage.
Still no closer to solving the mystery of derelict houses in Ireland but there might be some explanation to some of the derelict businesses.
Government offers hotel owners fantastic deal to house refugees for two or more years.
No accommodation available for tourists. Tourists no longer visit.
Retail and hospitality that rely on tourism wither and die. Shops close.
Apparently this has been a particularly noticeable problem in Donegal.
Meanwhile the Irish government is offering grants of up to €70,000 for people to renovate residential property that has been vacate for more than two years and/or is on the derelict property register.
In practice there is much hoop jumping required otherwise you’d think there would be a renovation frenzy occurring.
What an opportunity for young tradies.

UN exhibit memorializing terror victims completely ignores Jews,
“There’s not a single mention of any attack carried out by Palestinians against Israelis,” the outgoing Israeli ambassador to the United Nations said.
When the United Nations marks International Day of Remembrance and Tribute to Victims of Terrorism on Wednesday, it will treat some victims as more equal than others, according to Gilad Erdan, the outgoing Israeli ambassador to the United Nations.
The Israeli envoy posted a video walkthrough—in Hebrew with English subtitles—of an exhibit about global terror victims at U.N. headquarters in New York, in a place where all visitors enter the building.
There are mentions of the Sept. 11 terror attacks in 2001 and the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013, as well as references to terror in Indonesia and Kenya. “But what’s missing?” Erdan asked.
“There’s not a single mention of any attack carried out by Palestinians against Israelis,” he said. “We are about to mark one year since the massacre and the largest terrorist attack against Jews and Israelis since the Holocaust. Yet the U.N. doesn’t think it needs to be displayed on its walls.”
There is a display of a “Palestinian victim,” which the U.N. exhibit identifies as occurring in “Palestine,” Erdan noted, “so that people might think she was harmed in Israel, but when you read the fine print, it turns out she was actually injured in an attack in New Zealand.”
The exhibit “Memories,” which is on view until Aug. 27, “aims to raise awareness about the human stories that lie at the heart of each victim and survivor of terrorism, as well as the long-lasting impact each terrorist attack has on its surviving victims,” per the U.N. website.
“It also seeks to highlight the commonalities that connect victims across the world and to emphasize the importance of preventing terrorist attacks and the emergence of new victims,” it adds. “It is in connection with the International Day of Remembrance and Tribute to the Victims of Terrorism (Aug. 21).”
The Global Victims of Terrorism Support Programme of the Counter-Terrorism Center of the U.N. Office of Counter-Terrorism organized the show, which the U.N. Office of Counter-Terrorism also endorsed, according to the U.N. website.
“There is no place more corrupt and morally twisted than the U.N., and we must all unite to spread this message worldwide, demanding the closure and the dismantling of this organization, and the establishment of a new body that truly represents noble values,” the ambassador said.
Words fail me. The world is broken.

Former minister for Indigenous Australians Linda Burney delivers valedictory speechJessica WangNewsWire
Wed, 21 August 2024 4:12PM
Linda Burney says the referendum to create an Indigenous Voice to Parliament will be “looked on more kindly by history,” despite ultimately failing winning public support.
?imwidth=810&impolicy=wan_v3
Delivering her valedictory speech in parliament on Wednesday, the former minister for Indigenous Australians said the Voice would be a “catalyst for progress and positive change,” despite not achieving the outcome the government wanted.
“In the years that come, it will be looked on more kindly by history because … the government and parliament finally had the courage to put the question to the people,” she said.
“(And) because of the role it played in inspiring a new generation of young Indigenous leaders to emerge … and pushed the change for a better future because it showed that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in remote communities overwhelmingly wanted the Voice to be heard.”
Barton MP Linda Burney said she believed The Voice campaign would inspire further change, despite the referendum failing. NewsWire/ Martin Ollman Credit: News Corp Australia
However she said Australia still had a “far” way to go to become a “truly reconciled country”.
“Progress doesn’t always move in a straight line. The road is rocking. There are obstacles in the path,” she said.
“We have our stumbles and our setbacks, but our overall direction is towards progress, and with each passing generation, we bend the moral arc of the universe closer to justice.”
She added that Australia still “struggles with out identity” as it never came to terms with our story, and “certainly not its truth”.
“The generosity we pride ourselves on is rarely extended to the people in this nation who have occupied these lands for countless generations. Why? Part of the answer is that we don’t have a shared narrative,” she said.
“There is the extraordinary foundation of First Nations people, the layer of European settlers … then there’s layer upon layer of people who settled in Australia because of conflict and the search for a better life.
“We live in that cross section, all of it, and all of us … you take the whole, not just the bits that suit you.”

I have been without a BBQ of my own for some years. Yes, I know.
However, after finding room for one in my outdoor living area, I bought a modest four-burner with one of those gas wok-type things on the side* from the hammer shop (Bunnings), and spent five sweary hours the following week putting the bastard together^.
At the present time, I am seasoning the plate and racks under heat with oil and salt before finally putting a snag on it later.
*Obviously, I am not using that accessory. Far too continental.
^Anyone who has completed a task of this nature understands that one must be able to contract into a pretzel shape and be double-jointed to achieve this.

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, it did. Brace yourself.
”
Anthony Albanese has for the first time confirmed that a number of visitor visas granted to Palestinian refugees fleeing Gaza since the October 7 Hamas attacks have been cancelled.”
There was a furore about cancelled visas for Gamas a few months ago.
Iirc they were cancelled before they got on a plane because there were concerns they would lodge asylum claims.
Which half of them have anyhow.

Fatima Payman labels negative gearing ‘harmful’, urges former Labor colleagues to overhaul tax
Fatima Payman has blasted negative gearing as “unfair” and “harmful”, urging her former Labor colleagues to “stop this madness” and overhaul the tax break.
The WA independent made the comments in a speech to the Senate on Wednesday – just weeks after purchasing a new investment property in Perth.
Senator Payman said she has no plans to negatively gear the one-bedroom unit in Maylands.
“We know this fancy sounding term is just the tax system’s way of handing out massive freebies to people who are already doing pretty well,” Senator Payman said.
“Meanwhile, young Australians are stuck renting, watching house prices skyrocket, wondering if they’ll ever be able to afford their own home.”
Labor went to the 2019 election promising to wind back negative gearing before dropping the politically contentious policy ahead of the 2022 poll.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Treasurer Jim Chalmers have since repeatedly ruled reviving the idea, even after breaking a similar promise on the stage three tax cuts.
Senator Payman never publicly criticised negative gearing during her time as Labor backbencher.
But just as she did with a speech last week showing solidary with WA sheep farmers, Senator Payman has used her newfound freedom on the crossbench to speak out about the policy.
The 29-year-old chose the topic for the speech after asking her Instagram followers what issue they wanted raised in Canberra.
“Let’s be clear, negative gearing isn’t just unfair – it’s harmful,” she said.
Anyone else notice this, how the Teals are acting as Fork Tongued Albo’s gob, so are now smearing the Liberals as ‘misogynist’ This smacks of the mantra prior to the last election that the ‘Liberals have a women problem’.

Hear this too, the Teals are a f*cking disgrace.
Spoilt, brain dead, daughters of privilege.

Learned their tactics in the school playground and never forgot them.
“Senator Payman said she has no plans to negatively gear the one-bedroom unit in Maylands.”
Well she is muslim and paying interest is haram.
Perhaps she should be honest and explain how she actually financed the property and what she intends to do with it.
Leave it empty, rent it out?
Or perhaps she had so much money she went straight to net profit.
“The ICRC says they have visited hostages and helped secure release of 109 of them”
They did the go between. We know that.
Mmmyes something a little fishy.
Ok cool, standard procedure.
I could well be wrong but if the driver thinks they are under the limit, it is they who must request the blood test at the cop shop?

By co-incidence the latest PBD podcast goes into the subject in great detail from the 40 minutes mark. It gets very heated. Events such as USS Liberty, JFK assassination and 9/11 come into it. They read out comments from Candaces own father in law who expresses support for Israel.

It is so easy to get rid of serial pests. They absolutely thrive on seeing responses, especially responses which are counter to theirs because they know they are winning by getting people to waste the most valuable thing they have in the whole world, “TIME”, to attack them…
There are a dozen or so on this site who are responsible for the moron remaining here because they feed his ego, they bolster his standing by responding and they give him air time, over and over and over on every page of every post…. even when he isn’t posting, people feel some sort of unexplained impulse to make a statement that he hasn’t posted… pure gold to him…
Totally ignoring the moron will drive him nuts because his only outlet then is to make inane, leftist statements of no consequence or substance. Half of his inanity comes from answering responses and that half is entirely due to people feeding him…
Calling him names is simply ammunition and sustenance for him…
