Canula not in right.

Had a porta-cath implanted for my chemo course, way back when.

Is that IV?

If so, how long do they leave it in for?

IV.
It was in for just over 6 months.

Why is she screaming like a banshee?

Did she learn this trait from Joe?

@joma_gc

Major drama within the Kamala Harris campaign this morning. A source reveals that Harris screamed at and angrily berated her campaign manager Julie Chavez for over 30 minutes on the phone this morning.

The source shares that Chavez advised Kamala not to attend the Al Smith dinner because it could send the wrong message and risk alienating LGBTQ and pro-abortion voters if she was seen cozying up to Catholics.

Instead Chavez suggested a compromise of sending in the poorly-received video in lieu of an in-person appearance.

Chavez was in tears during the phone call as Kamala shred her to pieces, called her an idiot, inept, horrible at your f-ing job, and told her that her stupid advice is going to be the reason she loses.

The joy is gone.

This might explain why she’s had a 94% staff turnover.

NEW GEORGIA CITIZEN IS LEAVING THE DEMOCRAT PARTY TO VOTE TRUMP

“It’s not about a personality, it’s about results!”

Spot on!!!!

Thanks 132andBush (and Crossie and Beertruk) at 6:01.
I was getting an infusion every two weeks (not chemo), now out to four weeks, with pathology extraction before each one.
The canula insertion has been a bit variable and was going to ask about something semi-permanent.
I don’t think I will now.
(Drinking lots of water and coffee seems to help).

Vikki Campion:

Nobody should care that the PM and his partner are buying a clifftop ocean-view mansion for $4.3m — but they would if they followed the recipe book of invective that Anthony Albanese wrote himself.

Mr Albanese has spent his entire political career skewering the slightest misdemeanour, including age and mental health, beyond his opponent’s control, such as John Howard’s age at 60, who Albo, now 61, referred to as “one fossil I want to get rid of”.

Howard’s suburban house, a red brick three-bedder, functional over fancy, helped make him a target. Albo belittled Howard as failing to escape the “age of laminex”. An apparent social faux pas.

Despite Howard’s simple home in his electorate, lacking Albo’s new ocean view to preach from, it could not save him from being dressed down in the Albanese cookbook as being “government by the elite for the elite” and “governing for the elite few”, with “elitism in their blood”.

History for Albo has transgressed into irony.

There was no clifftop mansion for Howard to escape to from his electorate of Bennelong.

When he went on holidays it was to Tea Gardens, known for its caravan parks and retirees.

Albo frolicked in his personal evisceration as the Tory-killing warrior that he thought he was.

“He (Howard) is like the sheriff sitting in his castle counting the coins squeezed out of the peasants living on his estate,” Albo told the Parliament in 2001.

Never mind Howard lived in a suburban brick house and still does.

Living in a comparatively cheap $351,000 house at Forestville didn’t spare Tony Abbott any punches from Albo – who made it much more personal with the taunt in and out of the chamber: “In your guts, you know he is nuts.”

This is the same Albo for whom they now ask for clemency.

The Albo who described a husband and a father as attempting “to remake himself into ‘human’ Tony.”

Intoxicated by the tribal pile-on he was leading, he relished in further caricatures of “angry Tony” and “brutal Tony”.

This is not hearsay but on Hansard.

As his cabinet pleaded this week to leave the Prime Minister alone, one can imagine the vitriol that Albo would have issued forth had he been the opposition leader in similar circumstances on a Howard PM or an Abbott PM.

You didn’t even have to buy a clifftop mansion.

You could have been a cleric from the wrong tribe, such as the Howard-appointed Governor-General, who Albo smashed as what “happens when you place ideology and favouritism above suitability for appointment”, who he criticised for leaving Australia without “any head of state”.

Albanese did this in explicit disobedience of the standing orders that he should have held in higher respect from his tenure and position.

For our Albo, if you could not find a house then a hose would do.

Both Hansard and his own transcripts are full of Albo skewering Scott Morrison for his Hawaiian holiday, which he returned from without purchasing a house.

No one expects Albanese to return to a housing commission home post-politics, but he has spent decades finessing the recipe for bringing down political opponents.

This week, he appealed to a particular type of graciousness for others to leave him alone, though he had never offered such reprieve.

He perfected the class warfare recipe and built his career on us versus them.

He posed the idea that to authentically represent people, you had to have had the arse hanging out of your pants – when the reality now apparent for him is a far less bare-arse log cabin, and much more designer suits, private planes, chauffeurs and ocean-view estates.

Paradoxically, the arse-out-of-your-pants politician will only bring us foul results.

The biggest threat to Australia’s future is morons who do not know how to manage money running the country.

Competent people would rather take their eyes out with a fork than go into politics today and have the national media focus on their recent house purchase.

Where this leads, this tall poppy rubbish, is that no successful business person will ever consider becoming Prime Minister or Treasurer while we stare down a $932bn-and-growing debt. We need self-made people to replicate their success for Australia through their service in public office.

If your resume is of failure and incompetence, please don’t apply for the job to run the nation.

Albo is no economic genius, but he has managed his finances prudently enough to be able to buy a nice house with his partner. It would be more of a concern if he had lost his house.

Who do you want running the country, a person who can manage their own money or one who serves as PM and moves back into a housing commission, taking Australia with them?

Had this house resulted from corruption, decisions that resulted in an ulterior pecuniary benefit to them in parliament or immediately on departing parliament, it would be different.

The problem is not with Albanese’s success in real estate. It is with his now evident hypocrisy in politics, for which he has never offered any apology to any of his former or current targets.

But as for Albo’s reaction?

You wrote the recipe. You savaged fathers in politics for going on holidays with their kids. You attacked your opponents’ age and mental health.

You cooked it up. Enjoy your meal and expect to be served a second helping.

Should be rammed down Albo’s throat every time the prick speaks on the matter.

Hageman says People In Path Of Wildfires Can Thank Feds And Their “Bad Policies”

“If the Illegal Immigrants engage in a US October 7th, will the FBI and Homeland Security sit it out in their offices while Wray and Mayorkas refuse to intercede for the first 3 or 4 days?”

I suspect the unorganised militia of the United States will take care of the problem. See Flight 93.

CORRECTING LIB BULLSHIT

Laughing at all the dumb f*ck libs claiming Trump is exhausted.
We interviewed Trump in the morning today and we were his SECOND interview of the day.
He walked into the room (this is all on video on Rumble for the dipshit libs) and immediately he walked right over to the production crew to welcome them and shake their hands. He couldn’t have been kinder or more involved in what was going on.
He then stayed past the scheduled wrap time of the interview and signed hats and other items for my team and for charitable donations. He then offered to take pictures with the production crew and the support staff.
Yes, I’m a Trump supporter, that’s not a secret, but I’m telling you with a candid and pure heart that President Trump couldn’t have been more energetic and gracious. I’m decades younger and I’m not that gracious or energetic.
Vote for or against him, for whatever reasons you choose, it’s a Republic and you have a choice. But don’t bullshit people. “Exhaustion”? Really? Is that all you lib dipshits got?

I suspect Kamel will win but as in 2020 it will only be decided by about 50,000 votes, which is enough to swing the electoral college.

I don’t share your pessimism, Cassie.
Kamal is turning out worse than anyone could imagine and people are working it out.
A lot of pre poll voting is swinging the Republicans way more so than in the past. All polling is tighter than 2020.

Comrade Montgomery has been predicting a Kamal landslide for days now which means a red sweep of all states. (Something that wouldn’t surprise me).

Further to dickless’s prediction cackles will win and what we can look forward to when she steals the election:

Kamala’s ‘Dear Friend’ Sought to Downgrade Child Porn Possession. (thenationalpulse.com)

The choice is stark: either enough voters are as decadent and stupid as the demorats are or if not then the demorats cheat.

Trump stood around for twenty minutes on stage in Michigan while they fixed his mic, with the venue half full. What a shitshow his campaign has become. Wheels on fire, rolling down the road.

Great piss taking dickless.

This from 10 years ago; prescient eh?

Half a century ago, Democrats looked at the country and realized they were never going to convince Americans to agree with them. But they noticed that people in most other countries of the world already agreed with them. The solution was obvious.

So in 1965 — 50 years ago this week — Sen. Ted Kennedy passed an immigration law that has brought 59 million foreigners to our shores, who happen to vote 8-2 for the Democrats.

Democrats haven’t won any arguments; they changed the voters. If anything, the Democrats have stopped bothering to appeal to Americans. The new feminized Democratic Party says, That’s too bad about those steelworkers in Ohio losing their jobs, but THERE’S A WOMAN AT A LAW FIRM IN NEW YORK CITY WHO DESERVES TO MAKE PARTNER!

Republicans should be sweeping the country, but they aren’t, because of Kennedy’s immigration law. Without post-1965 immigrants bloc-voting for the Democrats, Obama never would have been elected president, and Romney would have won a bigger landslide against him in 2012 than Reagan did against Carter in 1980.

The War On America Turns 50 – Ann Coulter

Also:

Islam is similar to a self-replicating supercomputer virus. It is a hydra-headed monster, designed by its creators to be an unstoppable formula for global conquest. It’s almost impossible to eradicate, because it has no central brain or control center. Islam is like a starfish: when you cut off a limb, another grows to replace it. The names of the Muslim leaders, and the names of their Islamic groups, are transitory and ultimately unimportant. Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda are succeeded by Al-Baghdadi and the Islamic State, but they will all pass from the scene and be replaced by others. While Muslim leaders and regimes have come and gone, Islam itself has remained steadfastly at war with the non-Muslim world for 1,400 years.

Islam does not recognize secular national boundaries. To devout Muslims, there are only two significant realms of the world. First is the Dar al-Islam — the House of Islam, which is the land of the believers. The other is the Dar al-Harb — the House of War, which must be made Islamic by any means, including violent jihad. The expansion of Islam is sometimes held in check for long periods, but more often Islam is on the march, acquiring new territory. Once conquered by Islam, territory is rarely taken back, Spain being a notable exception.

The Muslim world produces almost no books or new inventions. Short of finding oil under their feet, most Islamic nations are backward and impoverished. So wherein lies the power source for Islam’s nearly constant expansion over the past fourteen centuries? The motor and the battery of Islam are the Koran and the Hadith, or sayings of Mohammed. A messianic Mahdi, Caliph or Ayatollah with sufficient charisma can accelerate Islam’s pace of conquest, but individual men are not the driving force.

Liberal Senator Michaelia Cash says Anthony Albanese is no friend of IsraelJoe SpagnoloThe West Australian
Sat, 19 October 2024 10:15AM

WA Liberal Senator Michaelia Cash has ripped into Prime Minister Anthony Albanese over his handling of the Middle East crisis, accusing him of having a “clear prejudice towards Israel”.
Addressing Saturday’s Liberal state conference at Crown Perth, Senator Cash also let loose on Mr Albanese for his insistence on having a referendum on the failed Indigenous Voice to Parliament, saying he had “misread the mood of the nation”.
Ms Cash said the PM had failed to lead when it came to defending Israel.
“The Prime Minister (has shown) a total failure of leadership when it comes to defending our great friend, Israel,” Senator Cash said.
“Over the last 12 months, it has become abundantly clear that the Albanese Government’s policy positions have exposed a clear prejudice towards Israel.
“As Peter (Dutton) said: Anthony Albanese has failed Australians because he has not provided the moral clarity which distinguishes the lawful from the lawless, which differentiates civilisation from barbarism, and which discerns the good from the evil.”
Senator Cash said there had been a rise of antisemitism in Australia.
“Anthony Albanese and his government have also failed to grasp the gravity of the rise of antisemitism in Australia and the danger that antisemitism poses to our social cohesion and way of life,” she said.
“That my friends is a gross failure of leadership at a time when our country is desperately in need of it.”
WA delivered Mr Albanese a majority government in 2022 after a number of key Liberal federal seats fell to Labor.
Now, the Liberals want them back — Curtin and Tangney top of the list of seats the Liberals want to win.
With polling showing Mr Albanese will at best form a minority government after the next election, the Liberal senator made sure she highlighted the fact Labor could well join hands with the Greens and so-called “teal independents” to form government.
“If you think life is tough now under Mr Albanese, think of how much worse it will be under a Labor-Greens activist minority government,” Senator Cash said.
Senator Cash said the Voice to Parliament — which more than 60 per cent of West Australians rejected — had divided Australia.
“Despite all the evidence he not only misread the mood of the nation – some might say deliberately – he also showed that he just does not get the Australian people,” she said.
She reaffirmed the Liberals’ promise to reverse Labor’s decision to ban the live sheep export trade.

an alternative approach where the US deploys US submarines manned by the US Navy to Australia instead: “up to eight additional Virginia-class SSNs would be built, and instead of three to five of them being sold to Australia, these additional boats would instead be retained in U.S. Navy service and operated out of Australia.”But since they don’t want to miss out on the Australian money meant for the subs, they conveniently propose that Australia instead spends it on other US military products: “Australia, instead of using funds to purchase, build, operate, and maintain its own SSNs, would instead invest those funds in other military capabilities—such as, for example, long-range anti-ship missiles, drones, loitering munitions, B-21 long-range bombers, or other long-range strike aircraft”.

I think Arnie’s blowing this way out of proportion. Look, we’re not gearing up to take on China solo here—Australia isn’t going to just roll up its sleeves and start fight in the South China Sea without some backup (The GAE). These fancy new boats? They’re for when things get hot with China, not for a solo mission. And honestly, does it matter if it’s Australians or Americans driving the things?
Maybe we should stop splurging on these expensive toys and put that cash into something actually useful like the alternatives that are suggested.

Hey, Arnie’s suddenly the big brains behind all things AUKUS, huh? Guess we’ve got a new naval (Frog) strategist in town.

Just watched Trump in discussion with the Bloomberg.

Well worth the watch.

No way Harris could match it.

Nonsense, all KamalToe needs to do is mention she comes from a middle class family and Trump’s performance is toast.
