Just watched Trump in discussion with the Bloomberg.

No way Harris could match it.
There is no way Ms Harris should be in any position of Authority on this Planet. She is not competent to shine Mr Trumps shoes.
I just had an Aperol spritz served with a plastic straw. Devine. I plan to bring the straw back to Australia in two days time.
Order a second one. I’ll pay for the drink, upon delivery to me of the straw.
My preferred method is a “brush pass” – payment in Winfield cigarettes, left “by chance” on a park bench.
You may keep the Aperol spritz.
customs will confiscate it
My God!
I purchased a Monster Energy Drink. Who ever came up with that concotion is a d*ckhead.

Maybe but the rush of caffeine seems to really get some people in. My daughter at 24, and a motorcyclist, was right into those things. After years of Uni and work, not so much.

It was in for just over 6 months.
For the duration of the course of treatment. Mine was in for eight months when it was decided I will not need it any more.
Mine was a bit like Crossie’s.
My porta-cath was in for the duration of the treatment.
One lot of chemo every two weeks x 12.
Then removed.
Same here.
Big relief when it was removed!
Cuba just ahead of the curve. Australia in a few years time.
Hahahahahaha
Heading home to Victiriastan today. Last night I was “witness” to my brother and his wife signing their postal votes in the Queensland erection. Labo(u)r last for both and LNP 1st for one and One Nation 1st for another. This is in the electorate of Pumicestone. Yes, Pumicestone. Currently held by the ALP. Locals apparently not impressed with the local member.
Pumicestone is my electorate, and I’ll will be numbering only one box – for PHON. I cannot bring myself to vote for the SFLNP.
Cuba’s government ordered the shutdown of nonessential businesses and workplaces to cut electricity consumption and limit widespread blackouts.

The tentacles of the Elite have an endless elasticity.
Not sure if it’s hilarious or alarming mongtards believe Sinwar getting slotted sitting a a lounge room comfy chair is proof that hamarse had no tunnels.

No tunnels left nearby.

Quite obviously, to them “legal” is what they want and “illegal” is what they don’t.

That’s the problem with command economies. You need to do a lot of commanding and a lot of hard work to get anything to work, barely.
A laissez faire capitalist economy is easy. Just stand back and all sorts of people will do what needs to be done and then some.

The question is:
“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?”
entitled guilt as a campaign strategy
I have been thinking some more about Kamala’s disastrous interview on Fox.
When I heard that it was Bret Baier who will be interviewing her I thought he would go really soft on her as he is not predisposed to Trump to say the least and quite friendly to Democrat politicians who come on his show.
Kamala did everything to annoy him and get his back up, she turns up late and then completely ignores his questions. Then it got worse when she accused him of being rude with her “I’m speaking” interjection when he tried to bring her back to the topic. Almost shouting at him must have been the last straw and was probably a relief for Bret to say he is getting signals to wrap it up.
I don’t understand what Kamala hoped to achieve by even agreeing to come on Fox when she had no intention of actually doing an interview.
@VDHanson
Harris’s Fox Disaster
T-ball Oprah interviews with Harris don’t work and now the nation knows that real honest interviews prove even worse for her.
Kamala Harris by intent showed up late for the interview.
She quit early. She filibustered all that was asked, lost her temper, and serially interrupted Bret Baier— all in lieu of answering a single question. She grimaced, scowled, and proved as petulant and unlikeable as she was vacuous. We were asked to believe absurdly that the currently disastrous Biden-Harris border, crime wave, and economy were all the out-of-office Trump’s fault.
In contrast, J. D. Vance in his debate rendered the smears empty and showed the nation he was a nice guy with a razor-sharp mind. Harris in just 20 some minutes dispelled stereotypes too—she is not a pleasant but empty apparatchik, but rather an off-putting, disagreeable scowl.
If this eleventh-hour catch-up media blitz was supposed to show us the real under-appreciated Harris to win over the nation and stop her campaign’s hemorrhaging, it has only achieved the opposite. She’s in a doom loop: she cannot forever hide from the media and yet will lose the election if she is interviewed without a teleprompter.
She will probably fire the guy who dreamed up the Fox interview disaster – even if it was her idea.

NEW GEORGIA CITIZEN IS LEAVING THE DEMOCRAT PARTY TO VOTE TRUMP

Spot on!!!!
I love that he also had a decent sized crucifix proudly on display. 😀
A) they would have to know where to hit first;
B) lobbing a missile thousands of clicks away over an entire hostile country to target a nuclear facility and cause fallout to drift over civilian populations, probably including EU countries, would bring NATO into the war.
As for your anecdote, cool story bro but it has no bearing on this discussion.
You are thicker than two short planks.
It will take years for Ukraine to build a reprocessing plant to extract Pu239 from used reactor fuel rods, and not much less time to build an enrichment plant to enrich reactor fuel to weapons grade U235.
During that time, the construction sites are not housing radioactive material.
You are such an idiot, Monty.
At least be smart enough to not open your big fat mouth and keep proving it.
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).
You’ve got me thinking of “Dune” and Harkonnen heart plugs.
Hoping your health improves, Sancho.
Canula insertion certainly one of the more unpleasant experiences of my hospital stay, along with a couple of dialysis sessions. One didn’t go according to plan and most painful at best. I had a valve thing up on my shoulder for a while but that went as the number of tubes dropped.
Wife has had a port for chemo infusions for at least two years.Provided its flushed regularly no issue.
Kamel will have the last laugh when she is elected with a record majority.
The voting system is broke.
57% to 42%?
We are now in the realm of getting too big to cheat her way into the big chair.
And even if they managed it, the electorate wouldn’t accept it.
The Democrats only chance of not losing now is widespread civil disruption enabling a State of Emergency election cancelling.
So what if the electorate doesn’t accept it?
Totalitarians rule. ok?

Kamel will have the last laugh when she is elected with a record majority.
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.
And then, of course, it’s lights out and ‘adios America’. And then the updated lyrics of Bernstein and Sondheim’s song will resonate….

It’ll be young women who vote in Kamel.
JDV should have tried reaching out to the “childless cat ladies” instead of alienating them.
Total bollocks. Trump is going to win in a landslide.thr gap is so large the Dems can’t cheat enough.
no one likes Kamala. Some people will vote for her because they hate Trump, but no one will be voting in favour of her personality or policies.

Did the Greens actually hold a day of silence in respect to Sinwar? If so, they should be removed from Parliament, horsewhipped before being shipped off to Antarctica where apparently the melting ice caps will allow them coastal views within, well maybe never.

Much like our Nazi here, someone who has spent years on this site smearing people he doesn’t like ideologically as “Nazis’, yet when that label is thrown back and he is rightly called a Nazi, he doesn’t like it.
LOL. It’s time to throw it back. Folks, we’re in a war.

Stick to fantasy football.
It’s worse than that. Used fuel rods are useless. You have to put fresh fuel rods in, then remove them after a fairly short time so that the 239 Pu isn’t converted into 240 Pu. That makes it easy to see what a wannabe nuclear power is up to.
Correct. Mustn’t overcook the rods.
I think not.
This election will have such a corrupted result that no one will know how the human voters cast their vote.
Gee whiz!
A family of Kooka’s in the tree next door went crazy with a cacophony of sound.
No complaints from me. It was pretty cool.
“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?”
Taking?
This is incoherent.
We want a PM who manages the Australian economy and doesn’t sent the rest of the country into penury while he sits back in his multi million dollar mansion on his $400,000 per annum ‘PENSION’.
Because that’s what he’s doing.
“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.
They will be going against the odds. Yes, they will win, but at what cost? Look at how long it took the Israelis to effectively counter about 5K? terrorists. Yes there were several instances of near immediate responses by their army, but it took a couple of days before even minimally effective responses were achieved.
I had understood that on the first day, many more terrorists died than Israelis.
They will all sit there on social media going, “Let me know when y’all ready to do something.” Then brag a bit about how much firepower they have in their secret armoury and how “Nobody better cross me or my family – Don’t Tread on me.”
Then NASCAR will be on, or the NBA, NFL, Baseball, Hockey seasons will start….
Maybe if a muzzie group does something that impacts the Hispanic demographic where there is a high percentage of MS13, then things might kick off a bit.
It might be an immigrant group that hasn’t forgotten what America stands for. Remember the Rodney King riots in LA? “Everybody lootin’ till the roofs start speaking Korean.”
If your resume is of failure and incompetence, please don’t apply for the job to run the nation.

Being on a $600k salary (with the backstop of a pre-2006 $300k+, non-contributory, indexed, tax-free, heritable parliamentary pension) the horrid little gnome and his future missus hardly need to be economic geniuses to score a $3.something mortgage on a coastal property with value-adding infrastructure following close behind.
Having said that, I really don’t endorse the moral panic about Handsome Boy’s purchase. It’s legal and he’s entitled to be entitled – providing he bares his arse to public scrutiny.
Plus, he’s paying a hefty premium in the truly astonishing political optics – plus earning the deep loathing of every one of his colleagues sitting on a marginal Labour seat full of renting battlers.
Buy more, I say.
Buy with your ears back.
Vikki Campion cont’d:
WE ARE NOT MORONS AND WE CAN EVALUATE OPINIONS FOR OURSELVES
As individuals on all sides of the political spectrum raise alarms about it choking freedom of expression, speech and privacy, even with a forced seven-day submission period, the Senate hearings alone into the Misinformation and Disinformation Bill prove why it is such a bad idea.
Even the Human Rights Commission and pro-vaccination pandemic doctors expressed concerns the new laws would censor legitimate debate while failing to protect anyone from harm. But it was how the Institute of Public Affairs was dealt with at the inquiry that raised eyebrows. They warned senators that the Australian Communications and Media Authority would have the power to initiate investigations based on requests from the communications minister, allowing for the possibility of criminal charges resulting from such investigations, potentially putting people in prison for expressing views deemed incorrect by the government.
As the IPA tried to give this evidence, Labor Senator Karen Grogan repeatedly tried to shut them down to stop them from making the claim, even as they pointed to the exact clause in the bill that would allow such a frightening prospect.
If this is how Labor senators try to shut down free speech without the bill in force, in public view and written on Hansard, imagine how they will go with the ability to gag and punish people who say things they believe to be wrong with no such transparency?
Repeatedly, the Labor chair would only allow her political opponents such as One Nation’s Malcolm Roberts five minute blocks to question witnesses, while Climate 200-funded Senator David Pocock, a vital instrument for her government, was regularly given triple the time.
According to the government, the public have no ability to sort through information from a variety of sources and come to our own conclusions.
We are, according to them, a country of total morons incapable of applying any critical evaluation to the opinions we hear.
We all have to filter rubbish with every person we talk to everyday. Why is online any different?
Gagging critics will never improve a lousy government or correct misleading media. The answer is not less free speech – it’s more.
Lifter:
US power officials calling out ABC ‘misinformation’ after their interviews that didn’t fit the narrative of Four Corners’ misleading coverage mysteriously dumped.
This is also just wrong in so many ways:
Leaner:
The Minns government quietly changing the law this week so that males can legally change their sex to female on their birth certificate without surgery.
DNA test will remove all doubt.
Forget DNA tests. The Crocodile Dundee test will remove all doubt. Which should be followed by a swift kick in the nether region to confirm.
So what happens to these ‘girls’ in the future when they get prostate cancer because their Dr never sent them for a PSA test because they are ‘female’?
Will they try and sue the government for letting them get cancer?
Nothing would surprise me.
This is what happens when almost the entire medical profession outs themselves as woke fascists,
US vaccinations fall again as more parents refuse lifesaving shots for kids (18 Oct)
This is Labor’s electoral deception formula: you elect Labor’s acceptable face (e.g., Chris Minns) and you get reams of social policy you didn’t vote for pushed by the party’s loony left wing.
Every. Single. Time.
And will the SFL’S change it back when they get back in. Do we hear the SFL’S calling the looney left what they are, the looney left. The looney left call any slightly conservative the far right. Play them at their own game but I guess they didn’t get the name SFL’S for nothing.
This is a great initiative for men. Just imagine when a company’s board has to have 50/50 gender equality. Come on guys, but on the tutu.

Spot on – the people who laugh at everyone, slag off about people owning homes and then when they can afgord to they buy the plushest homes.
Gotta love the hamarse announcements of the new nearly deceased leaders ready to take them towards another failure or is it the same continuous failure. These people can be classed as future eaters. There is no future for those that follow them.
They will be going against the odds. Yes, they will win, but at what cost?
Oh yes, they will win and it will cost plenty but they will win. What happens afterwards will be interesting.
If you recall last year Mark Latham responded to a tweet by Alex Greenwich. Greenwich had called him a ‘disgusting human being’ Latham responded with a crude tweet but one I happen to agree with.
Latham was vilified and of course he recently lost a court case after Greenwich sued him.
I could say a lot about Alex Greenwich but I’m mindful of libel laws. The man is sinister and has very, very sinister and dangerous views. He was empowered by various state Liberal governments who cut a deal with him should they fall into minority government.
We now live in a LGBTQIP+ and Islamist dystopian controlled nightmare. But when they stop destroying us they’ll turn on themselves and that’ll be time to stock up on the popcorn because if there’s one thing the Islamists hate…..it’s the LGBTQIP+ lot.
If I find myself in a bathroom/changeroom and a pervert with a cock walks in, I’m outa there.
We now live in a society that tolerates dangerous fetishes and perversions. It will not end well.
I support LGBT:
Liquor, Buns, Bacon, and Tits.
Sorry I meant to say Guns.
But you already said “Tits” ?
Another rubbish decision by the Fed Court. What Latham said vulgarly describes the act, which satisfies the truth defence.
As for defamation Greenwich has made his sexual orientation an issue at times so I can hardly see how he was defamed.
Good to see Latho back into it with the Muslim shrine in Martin Place, obviously unchained now by the court case he can ease back into the fray.
Cassie, kick it in the nads first.
If you are proud of being LGBTetc, why are you not proud of your sexual practices?
Because it naive straight chicks who voted for “Love is Love.”
It has been said that normal people knew the details of gay sexual practices, the vote would have been dead in the water. So they hid the nitty gritty from them.
Bruce: old mate Rockdoctor has already stated that you are wrong. Try not to cake the clown makeup on so hard next time.
I don’t even know why you are arguing, apart from Pavlovian reflex. Admitting that the Ukes could theoretically make nukes is not conceding any sort of defeat. Fine, he is making noises about it, let him try.
I can only conclude that you and your boy Putin are shitscared of NATO entering the AO, and Zelenskyy has you spooked.
Oh Ukraine technically can make nukes. But if they try to Putin will flatten all the structures and infrastructure. He’s not as stupid as you are.
Z is trying this on as a bargaining chip, which isn’t working because Europeans may be evil but they aren’t complete idiots.
Putin btw isn’t my boy. If you have been paying attention I do not support him at all, as Dover, Speedy and Makka can tell you. Doesn’t mean I especially support Ukraine though. Someone said baddies vs baddies once. Do you know who?
And much of the infrastructure doesn’t currently exist. It can be flattened while still under construction, with no risk of nuclear leakage.
Righto, finally we got you to a logical take. Lot of needless aggro to get there, but well done anyway Bruce.
You admit that you are an ignorant idiot. Good! We have progress.
Hey Bruce – I thought we were in lock step!! I’m crushed. 🙁 hahahahahahahahaha
Barking mad “joy”.
Trigger warning: Do not turn up the volume if you value your hearing (and sanity).
On election eve 2020 it was clear that US election tampering was going on. There was no real attempt to hide it.
It was also clear that anecdotal evidence – scrutineers being ushered out, video of boxes apparently full of ballots being opened, and so on – was never going to reach a standard of evidence to achieve any legal redress. In fact it has taken years of formal analysis to demonstrate what simple population statistics showed on the night – there was an embedded conspiracy to fiddle Biden into office.
This time around, the fiddling task will be far greater due to the calamitous Biden experience and the obvious mad cow put up as Dem Candidate. But given the last result, the lack of political shame, and the uniparty stakes of a Trump 2.0 Administration, you would have to think that Democrat operatives will be up for the challenge.
Presumably (but not certainly, or consistently) the Republican scrutiny will also have increased. However, the task of producing statistically based evidence, to legal standards, prior to ratification in January will be huge and probably impossible.
So, given the complete absence of political embarrassment about imitating Soviet-era practices, a sympathetic media, and a politicised judiciary, my P50 is large-scale cheating presented to the US public and the election of a POTUS perceived to be illegitimate.
Not sure what the Founding Fathers expected would happen then…
If that is so then one wonders how to square that with the betting markets putting Trump in front. The group of people who don’t believe 2020 was rigged must be spending more on bets than the others.
Here’s a snapshot of how the perverts in women’s change rooms will pan out.
My son takes the grandchildren to the local indoor pool for swimming lessons. When the lesson is over, he takes grandson into the men’s change room to get dressed. Granddaughter, being eight, goes unaccompanied into the Ladies’.
Sooooo…a recently entitled pervert can go into the Ladies’ room now and flash his junk at my granddaughter with impunity.
But not quite. If my son gets wind of it, and he surely will, said pervert will be eating through a straw for the foreseeable and my son will end up in prison.
Rinse and repeat for righteous fathers everywhere.
Thanks politicians.
Sad, but true.
So, you have to make sure that the job is well executed.
As Steve Inman states, Summer Teeth. Some are there, some are not.
The daughter needs to apply the rules the perverts have established – lie.
The daughter runs to the nearest cubicle, screaming that the pervert tried to grab her, and locks the door. SHE DOES NOT STOP SCREAMING. She must, of course stick to her story, and dad must be with her all through the police intervention. He should never allow the police to question the child without the other parent present, and never leave her alone with the police who will try to get her to incriminate herself.
Playing by the perverts rules will only end in defeat.
I have been accused these past few days, as I describe the horrific situation as it now exists between man and woman, of being a sexist pig (guilty as charged).
A few remarks are indicative however, that the inattentive, unlearned and ill mannered also accuse me of the crime of misogyny. A certain cretin also accused me of divorce. To put the record straight I give you:
Arky on Women.
The question of our time (a particularly stupid time indeed) what is a woman?
For all men, if they be honest, have in their minds an idealised version of woman. Just as every woman has in her mind (should such a place really exist) of the idealised form of man.
It would now be the expected thing to do to appeal to all those recently acquired “traditional” roles that one associates with the female: How we loved our mother and her particular cooking, or how caring and loving our wives are when a child is injured or upset. Some simple but wholesome seeming collection of lies of that ilk would appear required in the second paragraph. Love, love, love, care, care, care, spew, spew, spew.
But we must be brought back to the point: the image in our minds of the ideal of woman. And be honest and quick about it.
As in all things good and true we look to the past for a sharp and clear rendition of that image, and to the names those great men of old gave their female offspring: Hope. Prudence. Chastity. Constance.
Did they give these names as a form of reproach? As an impediment? No. They simply looked at the immature boys and girls around them, recognised their natures and named them with the appropriate words.
For they saw that the young male of the species was not constant: if a bicycle was placed in front of a boy he was most like to dismantle and reassemble it ten times, ride it over rough ground and crash it into a flooded river.
Whereas the girl had to be cajoled and reassured into mounting the bicycle, the boy would do so unbidden.
The boys had to be restrained and disciplined for frequent transgressions and unruly behaviour.
Girls were, by comparison, placid.
Likewise when the sap began to rise, the great men of our now distant past observed the animals in the environment and, later, the wild tribes they encountered and saw that immature males, left undisciplined and uncivilised, attempted to couple with every available item or beast that even remotely resembled a female body part.
Prudent. Constant. Chaste. In other words: a huge buzzkill. That then is the version of women we had in our heads before the atrocity occurred. Hard work for sure but once won, worth every bit of effort and more.
While boys had to be wrangled into wearing neat attire, the girls would show their consideration for those around them by naturally taking care of their appearance.
And do so without overt displays of vanity. While the female would continue with constance and modesty to maintain her outward appearance to be pleasing even as maturity arrived, the male on the the first sprouting of a bicep or chest hair was likely to show off in a vain and idiotic manner.
The marxists also noticed the nature of the woman, and as with man, determined it to be not good enough for his purpose.
They took those female traits, and amplified some in order to reverse their previously pleasing effect, while attenuating or eliminating others.
For example, prudence was turned way up, until it could be turned into a nagging, shrieking nanny state aversion to all risks.
Chastity was reversed, mocked, and destroyed, until today it is all but eliminated.
Women were told they were not constant, but that they should be proud of their natural contrariness. A lie. But a lie repeated often enough becomes the truth, and transforms those who repeat it.
This then is where we are.
We retain the image of the essence of femininity in our minds, but seldom encounter it in the wild. However we are all the more pleased when we do.
TL:DR
AIrky.
Going by these replies, that is two “women” who I have irked this morning.
Time for a cup of tea.
I thought it was quite thoughtful.
The Islamics have their own way of treating women as cattle, all to suit the males. Western society has been fooled into thinking that women should be employed rather than homemakers, and aborting rather than mothering, is the way to go. At least if they are white anglo-saxon stock. The rest can be cajoled into breeding and subsisting on welfare, a great control mechanism, no man needed. The state is their daddy.
Arky you forgot to mention that faith, hope and charity were also names for women back in the day. So you could extend your argument to cover these essential items of Western Christian civilisation too.
Idealising women as homemakers and moral custodians of the social order has been well-recognised as a feature of our civilisation for centuries. Nothing new there. Men being what they are, women have been a civilising force, and loved for that.
What you are railing against now are the changes and challenges of modernity for both men and women. It’s far more complex than you suggest with your harping back onto an older time. I agree there’s nothing wrong with those old values, but there are plenty of other ways for women to contribute to society in these times. And ways in which a co-operative relationship with men is possible, without stigma and rancour towards us, the child bearers, who have an intellect and quality of mind worth recognising.
Interesting.
Where do you detect any rancour?
I give an accurate account of the traditional virtues of woman, for which they are most loved, AND a very much less than flattering, but true account of the nature of young men, and you still see rancour.
Account for yourself please.
Rancour is a sense of resentfulness – exhibited when men feel resentful of women in today’s world, not the world of yesteryear your picture paints. Add to this various ways in which stigma – a form of disgrace – still can still be applied by men to women who follow a less than traditional path.
Your naive philosophising simply doesn’t cut it, Arky. History has happened and we have the world we live in today, as men and women, both sexes with many good points for and against.

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?
Yeah. Doesn’t look too exhaustd
ed to me. He loves this stuff. Thrives on it.
The sheer hypocrisy of Harris is jaw-dropping. After covering up for Biden’s decrepitude for four years, she now has the chutzpah to insinuate that Trump is senile.
You need a whole bunch of centrifuges and a fair bit of time to separate enough U235 to make a uranium bomb. The Hiroshima bomb was one. They were so confident they didn’t even test one beforehand.
Trinity was a plutonium 239 implosion weapon. Much more difficult and you need to get the plutonium. A civilian reactor typically leaves the fuel rods in place for months to a year or more. The Pu239 gets contaminated with other plutonium isotopes which don’t work in a bomb. You need to pull the rods out after about 3 weeks then do the chemical processing.
The other thing about Ukraine is that both sides have lots of humint on the ground. Start a nuclear bomb program and you’ll get a visit from Mr Khinzal.
The Brits might just be stupid enough to give the Ukes a bomb.
The Iranians have gone the U235 route. They wouldn’t need to test.
Let’s wait and see what mUnty says.
How dare you interrupt Monty while he’s educating us in nuclear technology!
If you can’t get the centrifuges, you can always try gas diffusion.
There’s nothing more fun than dealing with large quantities of radioactive and highly corrosive uranium hexafluoride.
Hard to conceive of a circumstance where that would occur.
However, would the Pakistanis? the Norks*?
The Pakistanis because provoking a nuclear war between the Satans would be a Jolly fine idea.
The Norks? Because Kim is a nutter, and just because I like the word “Norks”. (OK, I’m predictable. 🙂 )
Or even worse some hypersonic missiles lobbed at the facilities.
I’d be more concerned about Russia’s reaction. I think Putin would be put in a corner and even if the Russian public opinion didn’t push him the hardliners in the shadows would.
I personally don’t think it will get there, the EU though hellbent on breaking Russia would be very cool on the idea.
It’s amusing that our comments have the same time stamp, Arky.
😀
Your post was an ode to the traditional masculine, mine to the traditional feminine.
Tom Dusevic in The Australian:
Firstly, the “official forecasters” are not worth their salt.
Secondly, one might assume that hundreds of thousands of the above are now here illegally.
No, the government has been extending their visas or granting them visas in a different category from that by which they entered the country, giving rise to the phenomenon of “visa hopping”.
Dusevic continues,
I’m guessing not many of them are carpenters or bricklayers.
The growing trend now is for these “visa hoppers” to apply for political asylum when they exhaust all other options to stay here.
The government then issues them with bridging visas which will presumably be extended for years as their cases are processed and end up in the courts with taxpayer funding.
The “visa hoppers” are clearly better informed than the government’s “official forecasters.”
We’re being played for fools.
And Peter Dutton needs a catchy three word slogan…
Eggsactly. It’s by design and by stealth instead of the boat arrivals they arrive by plane.
Dutton could basically put it on the table that all these tribunals and the HC will be made subservient to the minister on matters pertaining to foreign nationals but he won’t. Left wing of his party wouldn’t allow it.
We should pull out of the UN refugee convention, for starters.
It’s not 1951 anymore.
Yes I have been arguing the same for quite a while now. HC Justices have been hiding behind the thin veneer of that for a while now.
However I think sooner or later there will be pressure to either rewrite it, which won’t be supported by those offloading their troublemakers and excess populations. So the next step will probably be renunciations. If I were a betting man it will start in Europe first.
Yes, there’s already discussion of it in Europe.
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).
Bushie, thanks for raising my hopes a little, which is what Hairy does constantly. He is immovable in his view that Kamala will be history and that Trump will win in a landslide that is too big to rig. I have seen his enthusiasms collapse before today on various issues, so I allow that nervous feeling to invade my thoughts about the US election on some days, but not all.
My American guest is like me, equally nervous and desirous of an undeniable Trump win. With two teenage kids in US State schools I guess she has more than I have to be nervous about. Hairy speaks soothing words to her about what a great win is coming as the American people see sense. Marriage to an optimist is great. I hope your wife appreciates you as much as I appreciate Hairy’s input and thank you too for yours.

It’ll be young women who vote in Kamel.
Single, young women. Cognitive dissonance is the prevailing mentality amongst leftoids and young, single women are a classic example:

Helen fuking reddy has a lot to answer for.
The problem for the West today is so many groups who’s very existence is dependent on the Western societal structure spend their whole useless existence denigrating and undermining that structure: queers, all the alphabet weirdos, 3rd nations but mostly young activists and amongst them mainly young single women.
Get ready for burqas bitches.
Now that is a political slogan that will get someone elected.
“No Winston, delete that.”
“You’re no fun, Dover Beach.”

He doesn’t deserve to.
I am glad some of you lot have come all the way to acceptance that Harris is going to win.
Nevertheless, I expect most of you who are currently posting maudlin diatribes about how all those nasty wyminnses are going to vote legitimately for Harris will join the chorus of brainless wonders who squeal on election night about The Steal 2.0.
The facts in America are that red rural counties usually get counted first, and blue urban counties come in late. This is basic electoral analysis.
It is beyond the ken of mouth-breathing Kens on here to admit this, of course, and they assume hax without any evidence that would stand up in court.
I will be here to laugh at anyone claiming shenanigans over routine psephological consequences of Trump appealing primarily to racist rednecks.
Of course.
And if Trump wins, you’ll disappear for six months.
Up his own orifice.
Bonus!
As usual.
“routine psephological consequences” such as more names on electoral rolls than adults who reside in many (DemonRat dominated) counties? Illegal immigrants put on the electoral roll when they get driving licences? DemonRat officials during to prevent the removal of non-citizens from electoral rolls?
Those kinds of “routine psephological consequences”?
Sueing, not during.
A nice thing: I had a look at SpaceX’s feed and it turned out that a Starlink launch was imminent. Two minutes later the coverage came up so I watched the full launch and booster landing, as it was happening, from the the other side of the world. I love the 21st century!
Such launches are now routine, but nearly 200,000 people were watching the live bare-bones coverage. Which says to me that there’s a lot of people out there who are passionate about such things.
https://x.com/SpaceX/status/1847418964592165349
If Kamala and her orcs steal this election SpaceX may come to an abrupt halt. Which would be extremely sad. The Left don’t want Elon to escape to Mars.
I read during the week that colleges are being asked to supply the kind of courses that will lead to jobs with Musk.
Karen Grogan eh. Nasty name for a Nasty person.
She’s not going to win.
She’s going to “win”, ie defraud the American public.
Lefties do this. Venezuela, Brazil, North Korea, Belarus – you name it. And the inevitable result is misery and penury, plus a upper class of billionaires exerting totalitarian control over the ordinary people.
The steal is already underway.

What was your point again Monty?
The only point Monty has is on his head.
Bruce it is okay when they cheat because they know what is best for you.
Monty back in venom spraying mode I see. Why don’t you fuk off.
Not if it’s a jury trial.
…and that’s why it will not be a jury trial. We need to be aware the Judicial System is part of the oppressive regime.

Great painting:

Dickless proving those long, lonely hours pouring over the dictionary were not wasted. Poor buggar: sesquipedalianism is no substitute for not having a dick.
I think the ‘in case’ is redundant.
It’s fun now that “Karen” has a rather entertaining meaning.
When I was a schoolkid “grogan” also had an entertaining meaning.
So she’s doubly well named.
Haha. Lovely darts BoN.
So she’s doubly well named.
Struth has probably stepped “in” her.
… by their names ye shall know them, indeed.
And the blacks whose scales are falling from their eyes and see what the Biden/Harris ticket has done to America.
Now phuck off.
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.
A CD with hundreds of kiddie porn piccies is counted as 1 item.
Therefore a DVD with 4000 is 1 item.
Basically, possession of kiddie porn becomes legal.
Is there anyone not a pervert in the Democrat Party?
Of course, that is what he would say regardless of whether the Ukes were or were not building one. He has put the possibility out there, that is enough.
He also put it out there that Ukraine would build an invincible ray which would shrivel the testicles of all men in Moscow.
Plus that they’re building an Empire Star Destroyer in Kiev, that would immolate everything in Russia. Putin is developing X-wing fighters as we speak.
Aaaaand the walk back commences.
I wouldn’t blame him but I think he knows their bark is worse than their bite. The Brits might LARP like its still 1910 but their relationship to the GAE is an eternal reminder of their denouement at Suez.
Interesting question. The North Koreans are reported to be sending about 10,000 guys to fight for Russia. The Frogs currently have about 10,000 guys in Romania, and Macron has been threatening to send French troops into Ukraine.
If the Frogs use the Norks as a casus belli to send theirs to fight would Putin have any credible ability to oppose that?
France to send thousands of troops to Romania for major NATO military drills (10 Oct)
There are no NK troops in Ukraine. Footage I saw today is recycled footage of a training exercise involving Russian and Laotian troops.
Bad video evidence can be provided to support real news.
In principle, yes, but if that is all you see in practice, then you can discount its veracity as real news.
About 1,500 are on their way, and transport aircraft have been shuttling between Pyongyang and Vladivostok. There have already been Nork missile guys in Russia for most of this year to assist the set up and firing of the ballistic missiles Kim sold to them, but they have been rear echelon troops.

The Swamp appears to be a seething cauldron of self-interest and idiot activism with no regard to secondary effects. But if they offered a candidate who was NOT a cypher they could present a value proposition that made sense.
‘Fraid not, though.
How many standing ovations did he get this time Monty? Being so applauded in Chicago, of all places, is a bit of a tell.
And what is the Fascinating Kamala up to today Monty?
You are henpecking orange man for technical issues now.
You would not be stooping to such acts of desperation if you were really sure cackles will win.
Trump was waiting for a medical emergency to end in the stalls at the back. Take all the time you need, Doctor, he said a couple of times as he patiently waited and then got his team to put on some music till the issue was resolved. He’s a kindly man who is good to have around in emergencies, which he handles well. Remember when they tried to assassinate him?
Get another life, M0nty, your current schtick is broke and unfixable.

It means Queenslanders are blessed for choice when it comes to politicians to represent them.
Not confined to the Sunshine State sadly.
If so, it’s the price Crisafulli is paying for his low profile “me too” style as opposition leader.
And, frankly, it serves him right.

I seek advice from wise Cats and Kittehs.
The list of candidates in my Qld electorate is given below. I am supposed to number each box, but if I do, I believe that I would be (on a two party preferred basis) encouraging/rewarding the SFLNP (aka Labor Lite), as I would preference the LNP before the despicable ALP incumbent.
Question: should I number each box or,
should I just put a 1 beside only the least worst candidate (PHON) in the hope that my solitary vote would still be counted?
Thank you in anticipation.
A frustrated and thoroughly p1ssed-off M S.
PUMICESTONE
1. Samuel Beaton, One Nation
2. Ali King, Australian Labor Party
3. Laine Harth, Family First
4. Richard Ogden, The Greens
5. Ariana Doolan, LNP
6. Rosie Doolan, Legalise Cannabis Queensland
It is easy for a vote counter to have a pencil in they/them’s pocket so it can surreptitiously add a “2” to the ALP candidate if there’s only a “1” next to the PHON candidate.
Perhaps using a purple pen would fox that.
Honestly Bruce , if you think a vote counter has the opportunity to add votes while being watched by scrutineers of all parties, you might need to loosen your tinfoil hat
Seeing what has been going on in the US it is almost certain that something will be being attempted here.
The AEC must be a prime and priority target for lefty activists.
If Qld exhausts like NSW does then a purple biro would be an effective defense against such shenanigans. So long as the voter intent is clear the ballot cannot be rejected, even if you don’t use the holy pencil.
I Always take my own pen. I don’t trust them.
However, who knows if they even count the votes?
Trust, but verify.
It is, unfortunately, the end result of being ruled over by scum who would leave their mothers in Public Housing while building an extensive property portfolio..
It will only contribute to the ‘informal’ count. Sorry
If Qld doesn’t exhaust then I’d be doing 315624.
With a purple biro. 😀
is it optional preferential voting? Even then it depends on if you want the real commies to win rather than the lame LNP?
The instructions are very clear – number every box. But I suspect there to be some leniency, if I understand matters correctly, provided the intention is clear.
You must number every square otherwise it’s informal. Last election it was optional preferential but not this one.
Looks the same as my electorate Hinchinbrook, LNP, ALP, PHON, KAP, Pothead party and the Greens.
Unfortunately and Diogenes has covered it not numbering all boxes will make your Ballot informal which is BS IMO. CPV is undemocratic in my view, OPV is the way to go if they force us to vote.
I would like OPV coupled with allowing all other boxes to be intentionally filled in by the voter.
That way the 1 would count and there’d be no possibility for any activist to sneakily number any blank boxes.
I dunno. But for sure I’d be numbering all the boxes in a glitter pen.

Watched a show about the Menendez brothers last night (murdered their parents in LA in the 80’s). They were jailed for life for murder.
Their claim was that the father sexually abused them and they pled a form of self defence. This story surfaced late in the piece after talking to a lawyer who, coincidentally, had run the abuse defence several times.
There was a token effort at even-handedness by including one ex-DA who wasn’t sympathetic, but mostly it was hand-patters trying to spring them.
Apparently Tik-Tok thinks they are innocent.
There was one little jewel in the whole thing. One of the brothers was on the stand sobbing (having bragged earlier about being able to turn on the waterworks as required).
The prosecutor asked if he was lying?
No … just upset about the abuse and remorseful that it had come to this.
The prosecutor then played his 911 call reporting that “someone” had killed his parents.
“You were crying during that call weren’t you?”
“Yes.”
“And lying.”
“… yes”.
Trump reads from a script insulting Harris’s mental faculties, but it takes him two whole seconds to comprehend the word “faculties”.

Compulsory preferential voting is antithetical to democracy.
We should add that option… urinating on the actual Greens and Liars candidas would be acceptable.
I remember being assured by one of the “true believers” that, if we didn’t have compulsory voting, the Labor Party would never be elected.
Give it a rest, you preposterous puffball.
You only person you’re trying to convince that Fatty Trump is past it is yourself – and failing badly to boot.
I think Monts is cleverer than that. Hes just trolling to waste our time responding to him.
Those downthumbs from us raaaacists are powerful affirmation that he matters.

I managed to vote for 2 candidates in the Toytown election. Supposed to choose 5 minimum. Does it count if write on the paper “I refuse to vote for the remaining useless effing lickspittle grifters”.
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.
Tet, Take Two: Islam’s 2016 European Offensive | Gates of Vienna
The second essay looks in depth at how islam is aided and abetted by the left.
The Gates of Vienna website has been warning about the potential destruction of the West by Islamic barbarians for well over a decade, from my memory. It could very well be two decades – & before the books of Murray and others. They were branded as crazy Islamophobes then.
It is quite heartbreaking that so few westerners could read the signs.

WRATH OF GOD II: That was the biblical codename for the savagely ruthless operation in which Israel took revenge for the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre. But its response to October 7 has been even more wrathful, says DAVID PATRIKARAKOS
Lunchtime at the Cafe with isolated outbreaks of violence.
All three magpie chicks were wandering around Cafe front yard inspecting things and picking up leaves and having a fine time. Then war! Two of them decided to have a loud fight on the grass. I think they’re females as the third chick is more aloof, and stays out of the sisterly rivalry. I go outside to see what all the noise is about.
Mum and dad were there also, so they got some food – which immediately broke up the combat as the young ladies realized that lunch had arrived.
At this point the Cafe crested pigeon came trotting up to me. She was also hoping for lunch. I gave her some bits of bread.
Dad magpie stealthily sneaks under my car, and pounces! Half a dozen crested pigeon feathers in his beak, pigeon decamps to the front fence.
I don’t know why but magpies detest crested pigeons and ambush them whenever they can. It’s odd since they’re not in competition at all, the pigeons eat seeds and grass and the magpies eat insects. Yet the animus is existential.
I then went over and commiserated with pigeon, who accepted several more pieces of bread. She’ll need it to regrow her feathers. The magpie kids then climbed into a small bush and settled down for a well earned afternoon nap.
Probably because they are similar size range and not family, beating up a pigeon provides a payoff in the social dominance module of the maggies’ python code.

If Trump doesn’t get in, we are fkd. Becoming a vassal state of the deviant freakshow Demonrats is not at all a palatable future.
Look at how many Bush era neocons are supporting the Dems. This is simply the neocon establishment supporting their preferred candidate which is not to say that Trump is free of them, not at all. I just think he’s less contained then Biden or Harris and they fear this.
US naval building capacity has collapsed due to DEI and woke. It’s sad to see a once world beating capability wither away and die like this.
Perhaps the Poms could sell us some Astutes, although they aren’t especially quick to build either.
It’s been declining for decades, before DEI or woke.
DEI and woke have been going for decades. Ever since the seventies flower people era and the Vietnam protests. It just became more visible in the most recent decade.
It’s the corrosion of leftism, it eats away at everything.
This is underinvestment. It’s just cope to think a change in DEI is going to change this.
As I said the other day, Labor and the Uniparty are steadily disarming Australia.
We have so many options at building a reasonable defence force, but none are being pursued.
Do we even have enough boots in storage for one infantry division? I doubt it.
Better than submarines we would never be able to crew or operate.
Particularly if some of the “drones” were to be increased submersibles.
Uncrewed, not increased. Spellwreck is behind on modern terminology.
Well they need to call Elon. He will sort out the industrial base.
‘Formidable enemy’ Sinwar joins exclusive club in rare TIME coverAlexi Demetriadi

Slain Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar has joined Adolf Hitler, Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden in being remembered in death with a “Red X” in a rare cover by Time Magazine, to illustrate the end of a “formidable enemy”.
The usage of the red X over the terrorist’s portrait on TIME’s November cover has only been done five other times in the paper’s history, first used in May 1945 after the death of Nazi leader Hitler.
According to time, the usage of the red X symbolises the “end of a long struggle against a formidable enemy”.
Since 1945, it has been used for covers depicting Hitler, dictator Hussein at the start of the Iraq War in 2003, the death of al-Qaeda Iraq leader Abu Mousab al-Zarqawi in 2006, and that of 9/11 mastermind bin Laden’s in 2011.
The red X was most recently used in December 2020 but to mark the end of a historic first year of the Covid pandemic, “but not the end of the battle (against the) deadly virus”, the magazine said then.
Terrorist Sinwar now joins that exclusive list, and it comes amid the international and domestic reaction to Israel Defence Forces killing the Hamas leader on Thursday in the southern Gazan city of Rafah.
On Friday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the Hamas chief’s death marked “the beginning of the end” of the conflict, but warned his country’s mission was not yet complete.
In Australia, Anthony Albanese said the killing was a “significant moment” and a “vital turning point” in the conflict, and he hoped Sinwar’s death would “break the cycle of violence” and bring an end to the Israel-Hamas war.
Published online by TIME on Friday, the November cover – illustrated by prolific American artist Tim O’Brien – depicts Sinwar’s face imposed with a distinctive red X, which Time said was of a “long tradition saved for some of humanity’s worst foes”.
Speaking in 2011, when the magazine published a similar cover after United States Navy SEALs killed al-Qaeda leader bin Laden in Abbottabad, Pakistan, Time’s then-editor Richard Stengel explained the choice.
He said then: “… In a curious way, his (bin Laden’s) death brings him back front and centre, if only for a moment. It is the end of an era in some ways, but not the end of our struggle against terrorism”.
A black X has been used on the cover once, to mark the end of World War II, crossing out an illustration of Japan’s rising sun.
On Friday, Hamas confirmed Sinwar’s death, but said it would not release the remaining hostages taken on October 7 and that the death of its “brother and leader… would only increase the strength and resolve of our resistance”.
Somebody mentioned the Misinformation Bill hearing. Is there are web page where can see the Senators questioning. I am interested in Pococks questions as his vote on this is important. Any place have good analysis of the hearing ?
As the Arabs say: seeelverrr!

I remember when the Menendez saga was plastered all over the news. The story was huge. These two clowns went on a wild shopping spree—sports cars and fancy watches—right after they bumped off their parents. Because, you know, that’s exactly what abused and grieving sons do.
Then came the trial, where they tried to spin this story about their dad being some kind of sexual monster, but it didn’t take long for that to fall apart. Let’s just say their innocence was on par with OJ’s
What did they do wrong now to get DOJ after them again? Donate to Trump?
Gold $4,067.66/oz
Silver $50.62/oz
I’m surprised at silvers rise – supposedly silver rises and falls with hi tech armaments production. I suppose civilian electronics production is outpacing the military.
Looks like traders have noticed the gold/silver ratio is getting a bit wide.
Silver’s Explosive Breakout (19 Oct, paywalled)
If it continues and silver catches up with gold the results will be so much fun since every solar panel contains about an ounce of silver.
Which would make them even more economically unattractive and incentivize thieves.
US printed $500billion in the past month.
PM’s have a way to go yet. The USG CBO estimates for Debt and it’s budget servicing costs are eye watering. Many Trillions more dollars are going to be needed- just to pay the interest. Until a USG can reign in spending AND inflation, the bid for PM’s will be there waxing and waning. And Trump is making no bones about what he expects from Powell- lower rates. Amid Trump’s stimulatory policies, PM’s can near double from here.
I enjoy your Cafe stories BoN. I watch little peewees hunting off crows from the birdbath every morning.
I don’t know why but magpies detest crested pigeons and ambush them whenever they can
Probably because they’re Carlton supporters
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.
Cash is a bonzer Aussie sheila!
I don’t know why but magpies detest crested pigeons and ambush them whenever they can. It’s odd since they’re not in competition at all, the pigeons eat seeds and grass and the magpies eat insects. Yet the animus is existential.
BoN our farm Maggies (they moved in a couple of years ago, displacing some transient Maggies) arrive each morning to the bird feeder outside our french doors and we watch as they see off the Red Rumped parrots & pick out all the sunflower seeds, but are disinterested in the rest of the chook food mix.
I wish that the Maggies would pick off all the damn spiders around our windows and under the eaves – but they leave that to the Noisies.
BTW the Noisies are the cleanest of our bird visitors – having their regular daily bath in the deepest of our birdbaths. We have four birdbaths in our grounds and it is amusing how certain birds have only one birdbath they frequent – eg the shy Eastern Rosellas only use a bath almost hidden in the shrubs.
Yesterday I got around to emptying and refilling the two 10 L containers I have on the roof of my carport and my shed. The water had gotten quite yucky, I had been derelict in my duty.
Immediately the noisies were into them! Lots of very wet and clean noisies then came to me for bread bits. It was rather nice.
Our Maggies like anything I throw on the back lawn for the birds. Bread is ok but not top of the list. Cheese is ok, but best of all is mince or even fatty offcuts when I’m doing a stew.
My American guest and I were enjoying the birdlife around us as we sat out to chat on our open verandah while she had a smoke. The huge old Jacaranda, rising sixty feet where it grows from the bottom of a small cliff, is in in full heavy-laden mauve bloom on one side of us, the scent a knockout as you sit down. Through its blossoms we spot with a laugh two little Lorikeets in flagrante delicto, the little fellow going for it with enthusiasm. It’s over in a trice. We watch as he hops off, and flakes for a moment on the branch, while she ruffles her feathered gown and then proceeds to tidy herself up. He has started doing the same. The sweetest thing then happens. They cuddle up to each other, genuine lovebirds, and we both go awww as they start to kiss with their little beaks. Committed together now for whatever happens next.
Yesterday one of our many lorikeets landed from his perch on our verandah rail onto my guest’s smart phone as she was taking a picture of him, while seated in her chair. She now has pics of a very close up Lorikeet head and eye peering in to see what’s going on. She’s been absolutely thrilled at the amount of birdlife we have across our small gully – as well as flocks of lorikeets she’s seen white cockatoos, kookburras, currawongs (especially the old mum, who interacts knowingly with me as I put out food for her grandies still in the daughter’s nest), noisy miners, honey-eaters, magpies, crows, and occasional others. Hairy also saw a fox happily trotting down our street on Monday, bold as brass indeed, when he came home after driving me to the hospital at 5.30am. Foxie’s probably been on a possum hunt, for we have many possums too.
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.
Indeed.
And dump the stupidity that they could ever be built in Adelaide.
Zombie retards eating their own news (SMH):
Telling the truth earns you immediate expulsion from the lefty tribe — no dissent from the approved narrative will be tolerated.
See most comments here by the Gimp. He is desperate to stay with the “cool kids”.
significant talent? in what galaxy?
Rundle is right, but without credit in his own milieu.
Sacked just for saying “every grope is now a sexual assault”?
Those on the left really are precious petals.
Bwahaha. Can’t even get away with that at Nine these days. Crikey isn’t one step removed from the rear of a Uni toilet door.
The lefty tribe that gave us Bob Ellis, Milton Orkopoulos, Bill Darcy, Dorothy Hewett, etc etc. There are others who are still alive whom I can’t name for legal reasons.
We are in a bind. Either the AUKUS subs option or accommodating USN subs here ties us deeply into the prevailing US Govt. The strings attached to either option with a deviant Demonrat WH don’t bear thinking about. Admirals in frocks and high heels would quite likely be one price we’d pay (that’s the males!)
For our own technological and expertise up-skilling, allowing joint Oz/US crews on USN boats based here would be my choice. We need much more nuclear expertise in Oz.
Yep Israel is seeing the downside of being too dependent on US hardware and stuff.
It’s hard for them. Other suppliers like the UK or France are even more unreliable. I think that is where the Kfir came from. They purloined the plans for the Mirage because the French were not going to sell them more or parts because they were using them to shoot down enemy planes or something.
The USA is the best of the worst, depending on who is in government.
My nephew completed a doctorate in physics last year and is now working in germany. his younger brother is also a whizz at physics. at that end of the science scale they go overseas.What about we swap 10 gender studies professor for a nuclear expert? No takers??
There’s a Qantum Physicist in Queensland, a Federation Professor in Physics called Howard Wiseman, who runs a sideline on investigative explorations of the era of King Arthur. I’ve found some of his timeline analysis helpful for parts of my significant re-dating of Gildas (my key to the Arthurian legends). Anyone interested can read my Arthurian material on Academia.com – I get daily hits now from interested viewers of my contribution to this arena.
According to Dover’s link to the congressional report, there are Australian personnel currently embedded in US and UK nuclear subs.
Nonsense, all KamalToe needs to do is mention she comes from a middle class family and Trump’s performance is toast.
When did you start channelling the MunTard?
Vert funny JC
Trump’s zingers at the Al Smith dinner were classic, so good that they have the left media doing their usual hair on fire condemnation of him as nasty.
Nobody does nasty like the left media.
“Kamala isn’t here because she’s taking communion from Gretchen Whitmer” is my favourite.
Closely followed by “Tim Walz isn’t here but he’ll say he was”.
Classic!
I am no fan of the late David Lange of NZ, but he could be funny. ‘I’m sorry that Winston Peters can’t be here tonight. I assume he has been detained by a full-length mirror.’
Further to Guy Rundle and his so called ‘offensive’ text. Unlike most far-left progressive goons, particularly those that make up most of the MSM in this country, Rundle is capable of stepping outside the far-left progressive ideological straightjacket on some issues.
Reminds me of one or two commenters here. Rabidly agrarian socialist, but will take any opportunity to step away if it means they can have a dig at women.
Incredible, even the US Congress now admits that Australia will probably not get the AUKUS submarines. And they propose an alternative that achieves the feat of being even far worse than AUKUS (which was already a terrible deal).
It will take decades for the Australian navy to come to grips with the level of sophistication and military culture to have nuclear anything, let alone nuclear submarines. We cannot even crew our Collins Class adequately.
I have seen what happens when Australia gets US systems that are very advanced, that they have used for decades and in our hands they become boat anchors overnight without constant US handholding. I have also seen the mess made when installing advanced technology on our platforms, instead of giving the work to experienced people who will do it properly, our procurement agencies in Canberra give it to the lowest bidder, who then cripples it at installation with poor workmanship.
US military go into an area of expertise for their career, we have such atrocious recruitment and retention levels that we allow our boys and girls to move around at will and they never achieve the level of skills they did 20+ years ago. You’re lucky to have someone for 2 years before they become a “man manager”, and are no longer hands on.
It would be like giving monkeys a loaded, cocked, machine gun .. no good will come of it.
The Americans are not stupid enough to give us the most advanced technology they have, as they witnessed what we have done in the past with leading edge technology.
Diesel electric boats is what we know, sort of, stepping up to nuclear boats is like getting off a skateboard into a Ferrari.
So the polling is showing Trump will win handily 233 plus seats, also take both houses. Both houses sounds good, but I am reminded of TDS RINOS who might stop anything practical from being passed into law just because they hate.
The whole thing sounds brilliant so long as … people get out and vote.
Kamala is approaching peak shrieking Krillary, she has lost the audience.
Anyhoo, an interesting update on our major telco, Telstra.
You might know we live remotely and generate our own power with a hybrid diesel, battery solar system which, although reliable, does suffer occasionally from break down. Our land line service (Hawke Radio) failed and radios had to be replaced, both here and at the repeater – which had to be ordered because they no longer keep them on the shelf.
They finally came to repair our service the other day, which has now been U/S for several months and didn’t knock on the door, (must be a new policy because normally they did) just beeped the horn. I thought it was just workers beeping at each other and only faintly registered and didn’t investigate. I was not expecting Telstra, because it was not the day they advised they would be coming. Fair enough, we had already had many, many dates.
Anyway he completed the work unknown to me and during the test call after, offered to replace our Hawke Radio Service at no cost to us with a Starlink phone service, (we would have to purchase a UPS which is impractical for outages of more than a few hours)
I explained that we relied on the land line for safety when the power was out and we could not make wifi calls over our existing Starlink so no thank you. We are not the first property this has been offered to.
Our national pricing ensures that customers in remote areas pay the same price for an SST as our customers in cities. While this service has traditionally been provided as a fixed line telephone service, our obligation is technology neutral meaning we can choose the technology over which we provide you with this service. For example in some remote areas we provide customers with an STS over satellite.
It used to be a proper low orbiting satellite, a physical presence with own power through solar and batteries. Is this taking the definition of satellite a bit far? Especially when we have to provide the power? Should not Telstra have to supply and maintain the power for the system as thy do with all other systems?
Disclosure – I have a life threatening condition which requires medical access in an emergency.
That isn’t Arnaud’s point. The point is we are not going to see those nuke subs for the reasons provided, already mentioned months back, and the alternatives their presenting are themselves pie in the sky promos too, i.e. B-21s. What is going to happen is we are going to get sucked further in as a vassal state, the US is going to use our ports as forward bases, for operations it will launch of its own accord, without our cooperation.
So your contention or implication here is that we could exist as NOT a vassal state.
In no circumstances could we have the alliance with the USA, and not be in the subordinate position, given they are 330 million and we are less than 30 million.
Absent the US alliance the only question is who’s vassal would we be.
This is the important part you miss out, just as the free market pansies missed out the part about what happens to price and availability after you give up all your industries.
The free marketers by now, after the covid debacle probably realise that what happens is you are f*cked.
And after we give up the naturally subordinate position in the US alliance your type will, too late realise that what will happen is you will be a vassal of China, with their 1.4 billion population. To which you might say “so what”? Only we share with the US language, tradition and culture.
Which doesn’t seem important, until it is.
The third possibility is accepting responsibility for our own security.
Hahaha!
You funny guy, Wodger!
Our vassalage to the US has nothing to do with its population compared to ours. India was a vassal state to the UK because the latter was an economic and military power house compared to the former even though the former had a larger population than the latter.
Vassalage involves a relationship in which one side subordinates itself to another for protection and in turn offers something in return. Unless we formed an alliance with the Chinese which involved us subordinating ourselves in some way in return for something what you suggest wouldn’t happen.

It is four months the MSM made a half-arsed attempt to spring Robert Farquharson after he drowned his three kids in a dam.
And it is four years since the ABC tried the same stunt with Kelli Lane (in the slot for murdering her baby).
Usually these things excite public attention for five minutes and disappear.
Unfortunately some get through the net. Like Kathleen Folbigg who was doing time for killing her four children. A few “experts” claim two of the deaths might be explained by other causes. No explanation of the other two, but she walks. Her ex-husband isn’t having any of it and is convinced she did it.
The ABC spent millions on a three-part series trying to spring Kellie Lane at the same time as Milligan and co were screaming for anyone who questioned the ludicrous verdict of the Pell show trial to be jailed for contempt of court.

Maybe good with racing but I’m finding RL more and more unwatchable.
The equivalent of the once a year church goer. Even they manage twice a year.
Arnie didn’t need to spell it out—like, who else is a threat with their aggressive tendencies? Iceland? Botswana? Yeah, real menaces there.
Don’t beat around the bush. Those boats are there to keep an eye on China, and if things go south, we’re basically glued to the US, Japan, and a few others.
We’re not Switzerland. Switzerland doesn’t have the resources that we do, which would be a prize worth having for someone as resource limited as China.
It’s pretty impressive that you don’t see China as a threat to Australia—even in your lifetime. Bold move!
Hating your own country is very popular in Australia this year, but there is really no other country in the world like it.
With some old racing industry geezer presenting the Caulfield Cup trophy to the crowd today is 19-year-old Victorian country boy and West Coast Eagles AFL star Harley Reid, his mullet flapping in the breeze.

Reports of a drone strike in Caesarea. Could be Netanyahu’s home.
You hope.
Best country in the world Tom. Wouldn’t take much to get it moving in the right direction. Cut taxes. Cut immigration. Stop attacking productive people.
Productive people are the golden goose. Keep squeezing is all government of all perversions know how to do.

You have to decimate government a few times. Best of luck with that.

Ha ha.
Compared to Melbourne today it’s equatorial:)
No thanks.

Unlikely, Dover. Bibi and his wife reside in the PM’s official residence in Jerusalem, in the suburb of Rehavia, an area I know well.

And also might not be.
Re the subs – what is Trump’s position? If he is in agreement with the deal, then he can put Elon in charge and they will be built on time.
Elon likes a challenge.
If he does put Elon in charge, then in a years time we’ll have a dozen of the damn things waiting in the que for berthing space.
🙂
Virgin business class was good but they spoilt it at the end with acknowledgement sludge
Maybe write and tell them of your disappointment?
The Norks sending 11,000 men to fight for Russia in Ukraine seems like a big story today also. Some of them will be sent to Kursk, reportedly.
Putting in some time at the Temora air show Warbirds Downunder. A good day of flying.
Highlights for me were a Hudson bomber – only flying one in the world; a Corsair WWII Navy fighter, a Canberra bomber, and a demonstration by an F-35. Lovely aircraft and good we have 72 of them. Very loud too!
Sounds great, TE. I’d love to be there. Maybe next year.
Yep. I’d love to see it, for my father had to do with aircraft during World War 2, and I think Hairy (still Sunday sleeping in) would too. Will discuss with him for next year.
Used to do the daily run through the Bulla cutting and back from the home in Romsey to inner MongYang each day.
Always an interesting event.
Lovely old bridge too
The mad mullahs are describing the death of that thing yesterday as “poetic” as he sat, arm blown off, waiting for the final strike.
For once I agree with them. And so does Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
For Carmel Gat, Eden Yerushalmi, Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Alexander Lobanov, Almog Sarusi and Ori Danino. And all the others stolen, tortured, starved and murdered by this creature either personally or on his orders.
Salutations Calli, that was beautiful.
I read on twitter the evil one’s brother was a pedo who made use of little boys. If the parents complained he, assisted by the bush knife thing he had, parted the parent from their head which was promptly kicked into the public square. Death is too good for him. Solitary in a 4x4x4 cell would be better.
Beautifully put.
Oz Moto GP this weekend. Plenty of laughs as you get a hundred odd people sliding around a cow paddock on road tyres.
Phillip Island is the best motor racing track in Australia, Humphrey — even better than Bafurst. Picturesque ocean views and very fast corners.
PS: I’ve been there for the bike GP on the back of my brother’s bike with 10,000 bikie drug dealers — an excellent weekend.
I went down both years I was in Melbournibad. A good day out. Gets a bit hairy on the way home.
A mate did the Barcelona GP from the UK. Reckons the Spanish are worse.
Keep in mind, these cars do not have a transmission or gearbox. They have a 6 disc floater clutch that locks on to the flywheel on the motor.
It’s a science to get it right. Another repeat clip to follow.

WTF?
Wrong blog. You might find catallaxy-files.com more to your taste.
Nonsensical garbage being talked on this link, intended to be about free speech. Cmments there are so bad they’re funny, the whole thing is an atrocious waste of time and pixels. It is ignorant, dated and thoughtless crap founded on ridiculous prejudices rather than any human genomic biological or historical knowledge. Rabbiting on supposedly determining something about people due to their ‘hair colour’ for example! Or their noses!! We all know where that’s coming from. I wouldn’t stop people saying such stupid things though, demonstrating their feelings and indoctrination rather than any intellect, as long as I can call them out on it.
Prefer to not have them on New Catallaxy though.

Mmmm; the latest polls show the punters up there are turning back to giggles and the liars. If the liars get back in I’ll say that’s just about all she wrote about that great state and certainly the lnp.
Shirley Not, although Crisafulli isn’t helping.
Crisafulli is not an impressive candidate. He makes Miles look charismatic.
He’s also kept a very low profile as opposition leader. People aren’t warming to him now that they’re seeing more of him, but I doubt it’s enough to save Labor’s bacon.
I’m sure you’re right. It’s a baseball bat election.
I think the resentment re confiscatory taxation is much more palpable than it used to be or it might be the people I associate with now.

Dover, I tried to send you some money and it failed three times. Again. No explanation of why it failed. I checked all the card numbers every time. It’s the same card I’ve always used. There’s plenty of money on it. Something has gone wrong with your system.
Last time I told you this, I got a message from the card provider asking if a transaction from you was legitimate and I told them it was. So someone at your end was trying to check the card existence I guess. But it didn’t help.
Works for me, I sent some a few weeks ago. Visa.
That is the bank blocking it, Obs they dont trust Dover!
Just had a bit of rain – first in God knows how long.
Not much – just enough to settle the dust.

And another thing:). Ended up voting informal in my local vicco council erection. Was required to number 8 effing boxes. Couldn’t be fuked researching all the candidates. Might have Ended up voting for a green.
We also paid a visit to Cowra war cemetery, and looked out the graves of Zero pilot Toyoshima, and flying boat aircrew member Haruyoshi Ino.
Toyoshima was buried under the name he gave when captured – Tadao Minami – on Melville Island after his Zero crash-landed there on 19 February 1942.
Ino was one of the crew of the Mavis flying boat shot down by Lieutenant Robert Buel of the USAAF on 15 February 1942 north of the Tiwi Islands. One of the six crew died in the fight, as did Buel – neither aircraft have been found.
The five survivors spent some days wandering the Tiwis until captured several days later. Ino, like Toyoshima, died in the mass escape from the POW camp in 1944.
The Japanese Gardens and the POW camp site are all looking good.

This is unbelievable. They should be hung.
‘Labour using Brits as LAB RATS!’ Starmer’s authoritarian injection programme SLAMMED
Poll fun.
WATCH LIVE: Super Saturday of elections as ACT, three NSW seats head to the polls (Sky News, 19 Oct)
Maybe next century the Canberra City Council will recover from Labor-Green insanity.
Ditto Keanville. Parrottown is probably not so bad, I guess.
So all those pricks welched on their commitment to represent voters who elected them.
Scruby is not an independents ahole, she’s teal. Sky again obfuscating.
Climate 200 needs to be fully investigated by the AEC, these guys are skating grey zones.
Scruby? Any relation to our old friend?
Jacqui Scruby? Is she related to the unlamented Harold?
Did Liars run in the byelections. Haven’t really been paying attention in the West.
Just as well, his end of year review was going to be a shocker.

Authoritarian Labour’s Attack on Free Speech in Pubs Strikes at the HEART of British Culture
It’s staggering that the Brits are just lining up for more unlubed pineapples to be forcibly inserted without a whimper.
What the Hell happened to them?
I’m amused that ABC greenie Adam Spencer wants to boot out the Green King.
Australian Republican Movement launches ‘Wave Goodbye’ campaign (Sky News, 19 Oct)
Doesn’t matter what you do Charlie, nor how squigingly green you are, the Left will hate you because you are a king.
Ol’ wonky eye still at the co-op? Hard to get them off the tit.
Sacked, baby, jobsacked! 🙂
Scrolling through SBS on Demand and came across “The Office”, Saudi Arabia. WTF!
Then I thought, probably heaps better than the Aussie version. It may even be funny. Pretty much guarantee there won’t be any trannys or gaybies.
Bwaah – the Rundlay’s jobsacking grows even more tastee:
It really is hilarious watching “good ol’ fashioned” male collectivist dinobores falling afoul of woke lunacy trends they could never hope to be capable of comprehending, much less keeping up with.
Zero sympathy, BTW.
Sinwah’s arm wasn’t blown off, his right forearm had a nasty chunk taken out, he’d managed to put a tourniquet on his upper arm, or perhaps someone else had, he was also missing his left index finger.
He was killed by a sniper’s bullet as there was a very large hole on the left side of his head*.
Which makes those ‘x’rays’ of children with nice tidy skulls with perfectly shaped bullets inside them even more ridiculous.
*no idea if that was an entry or exit wound but it was huge.
No-one came to rescue dear leader, he was left all alone to die like a rat in a trap.
Did look like he’d completely lost his wanking hand.
Not terribly coordinated throwing that stick at the drone with the other one, so I suspect he was right handed.
The reporting is the extra tank round is what got him, not a sniper. Doesn’t really matter though, either way he’s in Hell.
Watch: This is the tank shell that killed Sinwar (Arutz Sheva, 18 Oct)
I was going on the news commentary, Rosie.
Oh well. Never mind.
Inshallah, baby.
Or, if one was to be more contemporary – Deus Volt.

Just off the phone with an ex 1 Armoured relative. They would have crumped the building with a High Explosive Squash Head round (HESH) from his opinion of the building damage.
The kill shot on Sinwar’s head was a grazing bullet.
Tank round.
Yes but tank round didn’t kill him.
Yes it did. Ok I’ll promote my comment to Rosie, since it appears to be cogent.
I think the Israeli autopsy has confirmed gunshot wound(s) to the head was cause of death.
More
He is seen in a drone sitting in a lounge chair, looking concussed and wounded.
Another HESH round then the dismounts clear the building, likely they or a sniper delivered the coup de grâce.
It looks like a tumbling round did the job – too big a wound for entry. What Rockdoctor said.
Decimated

‘Extremist’ black nationalist education boss backed by Bill Gates gets $20M to bring ‘segregation’ in US schools
That’s a shack on a hankie block!
And he paid over $4 million? They saw him coming.
