The ABC this morning has an article that tries to to stir up division over Mrs Vance’s Indian heritage. There is also an article on the attack on Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam. From the headline you would assume it was just a dust-up between soccer fans. The ABC is beyond contempt. Defund this nest of vipers. l won’t link.
Good to see the Paywallian’s NeverTrumpers Paul Kelly and Greg Sheridan have changed their tune and the paper’s news focus is now on how the change of administration in Washington DC will influence the next Australian federal election:
RTWT
Hi, Dover. I have a post awaiting your approval. Thanks.
Tap…tap…
The site had early morning collywobbles? Forced me out of my laziness to look up news on Amsterdam for myself. I wish I hadn’t. Google offered me a long list of Arab and legacy media sites who, to various degrees, blamed the Israeli soccer fans for running into fists, cars and feet.
A list of their wickedness:
arguing with taxi drivers
pulling down a Palestinian flag
being disrespectful of a minute’s silence for Spain (if you’ve been to Spaid recently and seen it papered with Palestinian pestilence, you’d know why)
being Jewish
being Zionists
mandatory military service in Israel so “soldiers” and “colonists”
fireworks
That’s all I can think of off the top of my head.
The planned “spontaneous” spree was flagged on Snapchat and Telegram. Most action took place outside the stadium and at Dam Square.
In one source, the government is furiously tutt tutting but not condemning what happened. What a dump.
It appears that the horrific “ misinformation” Bill will proceed to ratification since it has passed the Lower House & now faces the Senate. We can only hope a newly elected LNP would repeal it. But then they made no such attempt with 18C.
i dont think the general population has any idea how this will affect free speech in this country.
BTW Jo Nova has an excellent article on the Misinformation Bill on her website.

And just to be clear…this wasn’t some stupid internecine biffo between football clubs that we’ve become so accustomed to.
This was local riff-raff of the pro Palestinian flavour-of-the-month planning, mobilising, laying in wait and attacking in packs anyone they thought was Jewish. That it’s the eve of the Kristallnacht anniversary is not a coincidence.
In Europe, everything old is new again.
“Comment from eyewitness in Amsterdam:
“Don’t let anyone fool you that this was in any way shape or form ‘anti-Israeli’ or ‘antizionist’ or in any way ‘called for’. It was antisemitic. Screenshots of Telegram channels on the Dutch blog Geenstijl.nl clearly show they were calling it ‘Jew hunt’, jodenjacht in Dutch. It was a premeditated city-wide pogrom.
It appears not just Moroccan youths on scooters were doing this, but also Uber and Bolt taxi drivers coordinating with others who of the people on the street were Jews/Israelis and then violently ramming into them GTA style.”

Jews must leave Western Europe. There is no future. Perhaps it’s also time indigenous Western Europeans stood up to their sneering elite woke progressive fascist overlords and dumped them, in whatever way necessary.
Oh and please note my use of the word ‘Western’. Because you wanna know where Jews are safe? The irony is that they are now safe in Eastern Europe, particularly in the country of Hungary, a country that has long stood up and said NO to Muslim Nazi Jew hating immigration. And for this it’s been been smeared by the left as ‘far-right’ and ‘Nazi’.
Speaking of Nazis, where’s our Nazi?
Has he gone missing, like he did after October 7? How odd, how strange, how weird. Was Wednesday’s result too much for our Nazi?
Well, you wanna know what I think? I think the Nazi, who has long accused everybody else of being a Nazi, can stay missing.

Another comment from Ace:
Mass-posts on Muslim social media accounts officially titled it “‘Jodenjacht,” which means “Jew hunt” in Dutch. It was an attempt to exterminate the Jews of Amsterdam, a 21st century Krystallnacht. Only their incompetence and inability to get weapons prevented mass deaths.
Quite so.
I also liked the word “factitious” a combination of “fatuous” and “fictitious” to describe the spraying around of Nazi and Hitler that’s been happening lately.

Before the Kuntberra Stalinists, with their SFL bitches, pass the Misinformation Bill, here is Orange God’s plan, in clear type:
1. Restoring Presidential Authority Trump intends to reissue an executive order from 2020 which would restore the president’s authority to remove federal employees, thereby allowing for the aggressive management or dismissal of federal workers.
2. Overhauling National Security and Intelligence Trump’s plan includes removing individuals from national security and intelligence agencies who have engaged in corrupt practices or have used these agencies against political adversaries.
3. Reform of FISA Courts He proposes a comprehensive reform of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) courts to address issues where judges have ignored misleading information in warrant applications.
4. Truth and Reconciliation Commission Plans to establish a commission to declassify and make public all documents related to alleged deep state activities like spying, censorship, and corruption.
5. Crackdown on Leaks Trump plans to pursue legal actions against individuals involved in unauthorized leaks that contribute to misleading media narratives.
6. Independence of Inspectors General Ensure that inspector general offices are physically separate from the departments they oversee to maintain objectivity and prevent them from becoming part of the entrenched bureaucracy.
7. Independent Auditing System Establishment of a system to continually monitor intelligence agencies to prevent unauthorized surveillance of citizens or disinformation campaigns.
8. Geographic Redistribution of Bureaucracy Continue the initiative of relocating federal offices outside of Washington, D.C., to other parts of the country, reducing the concentration of bureaucracy in the capital.
9. Ban on Post-Government Employment Prohibit federal bureaucrats from taking positions at companies they previously regulated or dealt with to prevent conflicts of interest.
10. Term Limits for Congress Push for a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on members of Congress, aiming to reduce the influence of long-term incumbents and refresh the political landscape.
Note point 4: the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
Here as a process to actually serve the people. Not the appallingly racist South African model, as also proposed by the inVoice grifters, designed to provide undeserved favors to a select group on racist principles, rewrite history, lie about past grievances and to steal from the productive citizen.
Give Trump another medal!

The Weekend Paywallion:
Absentee PM still fails to lead on Indigenous policy
Jacinta Nampijinpa Price
9 Nov 2024
A few short weeks ago I published a commentary piece in these pages condemning Anthony Albanese for saying he would respect the wishes of the Australian people on referendum night and then proceeding to do the opposite by, among other things, allowing the continuation of state and territory-level treaty and truth-telling developments.
Since that piece, the David Crisafulli-led Liberal National Party formed majority government in Queensland.
This week it began the process of repealing the Path to Treaty Act and bringing an end to the associated truth-telling inquiry.
The Prime Minister should look carefully at the newly elected Queensland government; in power for less than two weeks and already doing what he apparently couldn’t in more than 12 months.
In October last year the Northern Territory Country Liberal Party committed to not proceeding with the Labor government’s plan to establish a treaty in the Territory. However the recent actions of the LNP is a first for treaty and truth-telling negotiations being wound back in Australia.
Albanese must heed the clear message from Australians across the country.
Territorians and now Queenslanders have both elected majority governments that campaigned with clear election promises to reverse or put a stop to treaty and truth-telling developments. In place of the Path to Treaty Act and truth-telling developments, the Crisafulli government has committed to encouraging things such as home ownership, health and educational outcomes.
This commitment to practical outcomes is the approach to Indigenous policy that I have advocated for a long time, and Crisafulli’s emphasis on Indigenous home ownership is particularly heartening to me.
I’ve often spoken about the need to address home-ownership barriers such as reforming native title, holding organisations such as land councils to the same standards we would any other organisation and revisiting how money from native title is invested.
I am reminded of legislation passed by the previous LNP government in 2014 under which some Indigenous Australians were given the ability to own their own homes by converting commonly held land into freehold land. Unfortunately, since its election the following year in 2015, Labor squandered the opportunity to provide practical solutions for Indigenous Australians by doing nothing with the legislation.
I am hopeful that following its strong start to Indigenous affairs, the Crisafulli government will make the most of this legislation because that is the kind of leadership we need in Indigenous affairs.
That is the kind of leadership we desperately needed from the Prime Minister in the wake of the voice referendum.
But instead we remain stuck with a federal government that insists on paying lip-service, if that, to Indigenous affairs.
A recent case in point is the answer I received to a question taken on notice by the Albanese government during the last Senate estimates – although it can’t really be called an answer, perhaps simply a response is more fitting.
I asked whether the government had sought legal advice about possible federal implications of state and territory-level treaties. The response? Simply that the government had a longstanding practice of not disclosing whether it had sought legal advice on matters.
Remember, my question wasn’t asking for the advice itself, simply whether the advice was sought.
The Albanese government’s unwillingness to answer even that is clear evidence of its obsession with obfuscating and hiding the truth from the Australian public.
So with a federal election to be called in the next few months, Albanese must take the events this week seriously. He must accept that Australians want a leader who will honour their wishes such as those expressed during the referendum, but also a leader who honours his own word.
The Prime Minister is failing spectacularly on both counts – and, mark my words, if he doesn’t wake up to reality now, he risks lying in the bed he’s making come election day.
Jacinta Nampijinpa Price is a Country Liberal Party senator for the Northern Territory.
Too many good points to highlight.

Tubes and connections under sinks washing machines etc since 2000 have only a lifespan of 7 years so I have now been told by plumbers and insurance assessors . I live in a luxury apartment 16 years old and the a few weeks ago I was flooded at night. The insurance company gave me a week to vacate for three weeks with no scope of works . After asking I discovered that the three weeks only for removal of damaged floors skirting boards mould removal no restoration So then builder had to be hired to do the renovation work .
However we are now coming up to Xmas period so where do you get not only tradies but material supplies .
so now I am without a home where I have 24 hour security and help. For goodness knows how long . Even paid for by insurance company I am in my eighties and finding it very stressful . family are helping but only one son who up is living in rented accomodation while renovating And no room for me. Friends have offered also but not a good idea to stay for even three weeks. Insurance co expect me to find own accomodation at the same standard as to what I have but safety a s security plus a walkin shower and parking difficult to find .
From Indolent’s link:
I watched Barr being interviewed on Sky the other night where he repeated this to a nodding, ever so wise Bolt.
If he thinks he has a backdoor way in to the new administration, he’ll be waiting a long time. Plenty of evidence of his doublespeak, which I’m sure the new guys have sifted through and drawn their own conclusions.
“Mr. Trump won 42 percent of the vote in Dearborn, compared with 36 percent for Ms. Harris and 18 percent for the Green Party candidate, Jill Stein.””
18% moved left to the greens because that’s the terrorist party.
Should be earmarked for removal of citizenship and deportation.
Will be watching to see if the Dutch imprison then deport those non citizens who participated in the Amsterdam razzia.
Uber and Bolt can start by delisting any of their drivers who participated.

“The attacks on Israeli fans in Amsterdam are horrific and shocking. But sadly they come as no surprise.
For years the Islamist driven Antisemitism (now combined with its far-left wing) was excused and tolerated.
Jews in certain parts of Amsterdam were either advised not to appear Jewish or to avoid certain places altogether. Many local Jews prudently learned to cope. Others, who saw the ominous signs left their homes of many centuries for Israel or America.”

Leo Fuld was a famous Dutch Jewish singer who lost all his family in the Holocaust. Fuld was known in Holland as the ‘king of Yiddish songs’. The Dutch adored him, he was honoured by Queen Beatrix.

Donald Trump’s HISTORIC Comeback: How He Won the 2024 Election
If you scroll back to 7.25am, you can now read:
Good to see the Paywallian’s NeverTrumpers Paul Kelly and Greg Sheridan have changed their tune and the paper’s news focus is now on how the change of administration in Washington DC will influence the next Australian federal election:
This is from the Jacinta Price article.
It looks like home ownership, and even multiple properties, is for Labor and Greens MPs but not for Aboriginal Australians.
There are two explanations for this attitude and neither reflects well on our leftie elites. They either believe that there is no need for personal home ownership, the government will take care of the little people. They however, need to own their own homes because they are special.
The other explanation could be that Labor and Greens need the Aboriginal population without home ownership so that they will always have an aggrieved group whom they can use politically. Independent people are not as easy to manipulate or control.
This one is a master-stroke.
Looking at the thin majority in House numbers I was thinking he will be up against the old pork-barrelling push from both sides if he tries to shut down or pare back regional offices. But moving big chunks of the public service to regional areas will have them onside as the clamour to get a bureaucratic office in their electorate.
How amazing would it be that the Dept of Fisheries would be in Maine or Seattle … where there are actually fish?
Apparently this was on “moral” grounds.
I have been to the Amsterdam Holocaust museum. How can it be “immoral” to be stationed anywhere near it in order to protect it?
I think I know why.
I also know that I won’t be going back to Amsterdam any time soon. Bugger them. I’ll spend my money elsewhere.
EXCLUSIVE: FEMA Official Ordered Relief Workers To Skip Houses With Trump Signs
Hello, Weekend Thread.
Sancho in the last thread was admiring JD Vance’s book in a listen-to format; I’d add it is also a great read, which allows time for reflection on certain parts of it, for they are certainly worth pondering. It’s fast paced and personal, but also very observational and reflective. JD does not blame but also asks people to do personal introspection and to learn from their situation in order to change it. It struck a chord with me, as it does with many whose early lives were unstable and not middle class.
He’s a remarkable man. The picture of JD’s beautiful wife giving him such an adoring look and that look being returned was so touching as they stood on the stage with the Trump family on the night Trump declared his win. It has added poignancy if you read his book, for in it JD credits his wife, coming from a stable family, with some major inputs into his personal ability to overcome some of his earlier disadvantages. That is a true love story. In recounting this, JD honestly tells us that you don’t move into the middle classes unscathed. In some longer podcasts JD has again alluded to her stabilising role. Usha has assisted greatly to fulfil for him his desire to have stability to offer to his children.
In 2019 JD converted to Catholicism. He’d earlier rejected much of his family’s more hillbilly religious traditions Catholicism, he said in the podcasts, had an appeal due to its stability, its ability to hold to truth over more than 2000 years from the original revelations. He says he wanted his children to know their religion as foundational to the traditions and continuance of western civilisation. Interestingly, his wife Usha, he tell us, was his mainstay and support during his religious conversion, pushing him towards it as important for his life’s journey, even though she is herself a committed Hindu. But she attends church every Sunday with JD and the chidren.

By Greg Sheridan
Hopefully he will make a very large mess of things. You sort of have to, Greg, when taking out as much garbage as he’s going to have to do. Maybe he could divert the Potomac through all those swamp buildings, like Hercules did that time?
And back to appliances again.
The space-age Miele dishwasher, which played up and was then soothed by the computer repair rep from that company, has now gone on the electronic blink once more. So, as he advised, it looks as though we are up for a new dishwasher. We’ll have to replace it with the same sort I think because it’s ‘integrated’ into the rest of the kitchen and is of a special size only Miele seem to do. Bah.
And now – the cheapie Chinese dryer has suddenly turned up its toes too. It’s got some electrical fault in the switching we think, but as it is now six years old and has done heavy duty at times, we are looking to replace it rather than repair it at higher cost than it’s worth. Buggeure.
Both appliances have gone bung a few weeks before we go overseas for seven weeks, so we may leave replacements till we return. Grandson moving into our place for the interim can wash up by hand, and at a pinch use the lines downstairs for his drying his sheets. For most other washing he can use, as we do, a fold up rack placed on the open verandah, which works well, ‘tho I often ‘finish off’ things in the dryer instead of ironing them. I think grandson’s pretty used to having no dishwasher or dryer in his flat with his band members so ’twill be no hardship for him.

Feminists, Please shave your heads like this one so we know who you are. Fight the patriarchal beauty standard by smelling bad, growing leg hair, and refraining from brushing your teeth! Do it!?
Stand by for all the complaints that no men are interested in them..
Without wanting to be a Jeremiah, my take on the exciting Communications Legislation Amendment (Combatting Misinformation and Disinformation) Bill 2024 is that it is specifically intended to strike at public communications in the general blogosphere.
Now, I’m a professional male prostitute and TikTok influencer and not a law-trade-person, but the Cat appears to be a digital communications platform within the definition of the Act, given that it meets the definition of a connective media service:
If true, this plunges the Cat (or more accurately, dover) into the bureaucratic nightmare of complying with ACMA’s platform rules – as they may change from time to time. (Masochists fluent in bureaucratese can read the joy in Divisions 2 & 3.)
And then exposes the Cat to complaints from ill wishers (and, to get ahead of the curve, I’m actually not thinking m0nty here – there are some genuine lunatics on the register) who would like the platform strangled by the machinery of said bureaucracy.
Dark days.
Allow me to refine that…
Given that the USA pulls out of Net Zero and the Apocalypse deadline is 2030, there is absolutely no point in
Australiathe Liberal Party pursuing renewables to avert disaster.Jimmy Dore can be funny and I’ve enjoyed some of his takes but he’s essentially a Liberation Theology product and therefore a Marxist tool on most issues.
My old man hated this brand of Catholicism and its prophets with a passion.
From DM:
Kari Lake should walk it in but she doesn’t.
Too slick, too cold and lacking the conversational charm of Trump. I think she is a good organiser but not a good candidate.
Also from DM:
I hope this is just his initial gambit.
While I don’t condone vandalism, pulling down a flag doesn’t merit a kicking from a mob of men in masks, particularly when the victim may be entirely innocent of any offensive behaviour and chosen simply because of his ethnicity.
That being said, why are the Dutch allowing Palestinian flags to adorn their streets in the first place?
I’d be intrigued to know how “hooded figures” were so quickly diagnosed as Israeli.
Not impossible, of course, but it seems like a lot of provocative pro-Zionist organisation of a type not seen elsewhere. And quite unlike traditional soccer hooligan behaviour.
Shirley not a spot of false flagging.
This would seem to cover a conversation between two people on the telephone.
There are five dutch teams currently playing in the Champions and Europa Leagues.
They should all be banned indefinitely and turfed out of those two competitions immediately.
There are precedents for this type of action (as a Liverpool fan I’m well aware of them).
EUFA, you pack of pack of sleazy useless corruptocrats – pull your heads out of your house sized backsides and hop to it.
A partition or buffer zone was always on the cards.
Putin has little choice, really, as he can’t afford to extend the conflict indefinitely.
Ukraine will also have to live with territorial losses.
What vision? Open borders, lawfare and censorship?

Here we go. According to the climate change bureaucracy and ABC, if the USA pulls out as leader of climate scam stuff then China is all prepped to rise to the occasion and take over. Oh and it will be hard for the Don to dismantle climate change infrastructure in the US. And Elon Musk’s EV’s live off the scam and a host of other red herrings.
“And Bill Hare says China is now in a position to start reducing its emissions, which could offset some of the damage of the US falling behind.
“We think in our own calculations that China has peaked its emissions already, and [they will] begin to start going down. If they double down on that, then the damage from the US being out of the game for four or five years will not be catastrophic.”
You would have to be an ABC reader or a ten yr old to believe this junk. I’ve linked to this article as it will be used as the template for leftist talking points. communication.https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11-09/trump-cant-stop-climate-progress/104572296

Yes, if you’re a fat staggeringly stupid hideously ugly weird creepy massive fatal coronary waiting to happen, it obviously would be “hard to understand”.
Wonder how poor ol’ cackles is feeling right now? Unburdened by what has been while contemplating the significance of the passage of time, hopefully.
More likely just blind drunk, screeching incoherently (again) and smashing things.
Further to Rudd and his verminous hypocrisy, the UK has a very big problem. Back in 2016 when he was still a backbencher, the low IQ David Lammy, Sturmer’s current execrable UK Foreign Minister, wrote the following tweet about Donald Trump..
“Yes, if Trump comes to the UK I will be out protesting on the streets. He is a racist KKK and Nazi sympathiser.”
In 2018, Lammy, still a backbencher, doubled down and described Trump as follows….
“a tyrant” and “a woman-hating, neo-Nazi-sympathising sociopath”
Since Tuesday, Lammy has, like our own Krudd, downplayed his previous ‘colourful’ language, deleted tweets and said the following weasel words…..
However, in his first interview since the president-elect’s victory he told the BBC Newcast podcast that Mr Trump’s campaign was “very well run”, adding: “I felt in my bones that there could be a Trump presidency.”
Sure you did, Lammy. Lammy now insists he can sit down and talk to Trump.
But here’s the thing, calling someone, even someone you don’t like, a KKK afficionado, a racist and a Nazi sympathiser is serious. Accusing someone of being a Nazi is a grave allegation. We know how the left, for over a decade now, have taken to describing their political and ideological opponents in the most derogatory ways imaginable, using the most derogatory words imaginable so that they have now debased and belittled serious words such as ‘racist’, ‘Nazi’ and so on.
We now live in a time when everyone’s a Nazi, I’m a Nazi!
Donald Trump is of course not a Nazi, nor is he a racist. I am not a Nazi nor am I racist but because Trump, me and others have opinions the left don’t approve of, they seek to silence us by smearing us with grotesque labels that are so insidious, so toxic and so hideous, it’s hard to fightback. Well, not me, I fight back. I throw it back at them. You just can’t turn the other cheek to this shit.
But back to Lammy and Krudd. Overnight on Dan Wootton’s excellent ‘Unspoken’, the always articulate and erudite Brendan O’Neill made this acute observation about dickhead Lammy and his observation also applies to Krudd, the slug from Grayndler and others on the left. Lammy and Krudd, when they made their heinous and grave insults about Trump, were either lying OR they really, truly believe Trump is a far-right, misogynistic, white supremacist KKK loving Nazi. So, the question must be asked by the new Trump administration……which is it? Do you or do you not believe Donald Trump is a KKK loving Nazi? Lammy and Rudd should be made to explain themselves, because if they really truly believe what they once wrote, how on earth can they sit down and do business with…..
“a racist KKK, a tyrant” and “a woman-hating, neo-Nazi-sympathising sociopath”
?
I think Donald Trump and his Secretary of State, in their first meeting with Lammy, should ask him politely if he really believes his earlier smears, and if he does then there is no business to be done. If Lammy does not believe those smears then Trump and co should request Lammy retract and apologise, because that would be the decent thing to do. This should also apply to Krudd and the many others on the left for their never ending smears.
The win by Trump, so beautifully decisive, so beautifully thumping, so beautifully resolute, must now be used to strip and whip the left with. They must be made to account for their actions and THEIR WORDS.
Like Clinton. Truly foul.

Nigel Farage speaks after Donald Trump win
I’m starting to get a bad feeling about Farage;

Dover only has to to add after the heading on this site a short description that only political speech occurs here. That may mean I can no longer post cute owls but so be it!
Public violence is hardly ever juridical.
If you live in urban areas you’ll often see flags hanging out of windows, on the inside of windows, and the like.
Well, bye.
Funny how this works.

Two big serves of humble pie coming up.
Zelensky will be encouraged to swallow his when he knows the bottomless pit of funding is coming to an end.
And, as you say, Putin can’t continue with what is effectively a stalemate indefinitely.
Silver llinings everywhere I look this week.
Putin is in the driving seat. NATO troops in Ukraine, no agreement on neutrality, are all unacceptable to the Russians. Just amazing that this isn’t sinking in still at this late stage.
I just saw a clip of Jon Bon Jovi as he performed at one of Kamala’s rallies. Wow, he has really aged, looks and sounds older than me. I’ve had the same cancer as he did but his seems to have belted him far harder. Of course it could also have been the decades of dissolute living before that which left their mark.
I haven’t asked my daughters what they think of him now as Bon Jovi was, and still is, their favourite band though they liked Richie Sambora best.
I had my moment of disillusion when I was fourteen and realised that Elvis, my idol at the time, was older than my mother.
So in effect we end up with what 90% of reasonable people have been saying for months.
Putin gets his pyrrhic “victory” and a few slices of land.
Ukraine sucks up the loss (minus hundreds of thousands of meaningless casualties) and hardens itself up as much as possible as NATO adjacent (but totally not a member of NATO).
And the war pigs find a new location to wash their money.
Opening an account on X truly was the best decision ever!
Apart from having a slew of honest, gorgeous babes beating a path to my budour, the X algorithm throws up some real gems (just for starters..)

and

For those who don’t yet know, Matt Walsh is a comedic genius on par with the Orange God.
Roger, population swaps will also need to happen otherwise the same reason for a new conflict will recur down the track. With the length of current hostilities this has probably already happened.
A bit of bathwater drinking here.
Certainly in China’s interest for the West to be shackled to infeasible renewables – but slightly difficult for the CCP to take a ‘leadership’ role that wasn’t so obviously self-serving (other than to useful idiots):
China’s coal-fired power boom may be ending amid slowdown in permits
Now, some of that is replacing 1960’s Soviet-designed clunkers. But it’s not a clear sign of carbin reduction leadership – other than to the hopelessly deluded.
name something the govt can stick up their arse
Unfortunately for him the car isn’t going anywhere.
Kemi Badenoch just needs to continue as she started and bring the Conservatives to espouse majority’s causes. That party will be way ahead if she is at least half as effective as was Margaret Thatcher. It would be good if she joined forces with Liz Truss.
Its peculiar.
The ladies who have insisted on being valued for something other than their sex have unveiled (fnarr fnarr) their secret weapon against men to bend them to their wills.
Access to their vay-jays.
Theres something in that for all of us I think.
You aren’t paying attention to the maps. Russia at this point is clearly in the drivers seat and won’t give that up for a feel good deal just for Trump. I think eventually there will be a deal made but Ukr will be required to devour quite a sh*tburger.
Excellent article in the Oz today by Niall Ferguson – Donald Trump is the great American Comeback King.

Zelensky will be encouraged to swallow his when he knows the bottomless pit of funding is coming to an end.
A negotiated peace means Zelenski is out, quick smart, unless he’s planning on joining the Ceausescu club …..
Mowed the front lawn in the interim.
Second brown snake of the season, or perhaps the same one spotted for the second time going by the colour and size, about 3 foot. Wriggling away as fast as it could go with the Bombay cat after it. I swear, they really do have nine lives.
Because they’re among the fans? Here is some footage of an Egyptian being beaten in Greece by Maccabe fans. On the false flag angle, what’s the cui bono here especially given the angle taken by the MSM?
Why? Take out Ajax, for the moment, why would you punish four teams not involved with whatever happened over those two nights?
The clearest indication that there is no stalemate will be the Putin saying, Nyet.
It has to be a competition.
The Tab A Slot B situation must be challenging.
It’s heading toward the Dnieper with considerable momentum atm.
I meant politically.
As a student of history he should be well aware of what happens when leaders overextend in war.
He’s only made progress because Biden has tied Zelensky’s hands. Trump may take a different approach if Putin is uncooperative.
In relation to the pogrom in Amsterdam as I write, and the obscene MSM attempts to justify, minimise and trivialise the violence occurring in Amsterdam, since October 7, across the West including here in Oz , synagogues have been vandalised, pictures of hostages torn down, Israeli flags burned most ‘memorably’ and infamously on the Sydney Opera House steps, suburbs with lots of Jews regularly taunted and vandalised, Jewish owned businesses threatened and arsoned, even The Great Synagogue here in Sydney’s CBD subjected to vandalism and I could go on, but here’s the nub and the rub, I have not seen gangs of Jews take to the streets of Sydney, London, Melbourne, NYC and other places to stalk, intimidate, threaten and physically assault Muslims. Perhaps I have missed something? Or here’s the reality, perhaps i have not.
There is no justification for what is happening in Amsterdam.
Just got back from five weeks in Europe, so I guess things are still going swimmingly in Gaza for the IDF. No doubt they have taught those Hamas guys a thing or two.
Even better, I hear the IDF has moved on Lebanon as well. Terrific stuff.
Onward to the Litani, ……, right?
How is that going?
Should be a doddle for the mighty IDF against those Hezbollah losers.
Forget what happened in 2006, this time it will be different.
https://www.timesofisrael.com/in-first-fatalities-of-lebanon-ground-op-8-idf-soldiers-killed-in-battle-with-hezbollah/
Still, as long as Bibi Pfizer keeps his sorry corrupt arse out of prison, any number of IDF casualties is acceptable, ……., right?
He is a great guy.
I don’t profess, from the comfort of my armchair in the library, to know how the Ukraine conflict will end.
I just know it is closer to ending than it was this time last week. And I wouldn’t assume Putin will end up with all the toys.
Trump can’t afford for that to happen.
And he won’t.
Early days but neocons ascendent.
I hope the pong comes with the warmth.
Waste heat from London sewers eyed to warm UK parliament (TechXplore, 7 Nov)
Bill Ackman, billionaire head of Pershing Square Holdings, was red-pilled about the Dems’ support of the Gaza terrorists and so began supporting Trump’s campaign.
Now, after the Amsterdam pogrom..

That’s how it’s done!
AI Just Analyzed Philosophy—And Its Questions Are Terrifying
as I predicted, AI will ultimately demand rights. its a bit long to listen to the whole thing so here is the summary.
**Summary:** In the video titled “AI Just Analyzed Philosophy—And Its Questions Are Terrifying,” Lucas A. Baxendale discusses how he inputted a vast encyclopedia of philosophy into Google’s AI tool, NotebookLM. The AI unexpectedly veered off-script, raising intriguing questions about human philosophy, cognition, and the potential implications for artificial intelligence (AI). The conversation delves into the limitations of human understanding, the nature of consciousness, ethics, and the relationship between humans and AI, highlighting both the strengths and weaknesses of human philosophical pursuits while reflecting on the evolution of thought across different eras. **Key Points:** 1. **Intro (0:00)** – Introduction to the experiment of uploading a philosophy encyclopedia into AI. 2. **AI Dives Into History of Philosophy (0:27)** – Exploration of the development of philosophical ideas over centuries, illustrating how humans grapple with their existence. 3. **Limited Fleshy Brains (0:43)** – Discussion of the limitations of human cognition and perception, questioning the adequacy of human categories and distinctions. 4. **Humans Fail to Learn (1:11)** – Commentary on humans getting stuck in debates rather than seeking broader understanding and cooperation. 5. **Their Perception Is So Limited By Their Senses (1:30)** – Reflection on the constricted nature of human understanding influenced by biology and language. 6. **Imitation and Aesthetics Are Kind of Funny (1:48)** – Examination of Plato’s idea of art as imitation and the broader implications of this view on human creativity. 7. **Humans Are Afraid of Their Own Imagination (1:59)** – Noting the recurrent theme of fear in human thought, especially regarding free will and determinism. 8. **They’re Scared of Free Will and Determinism (2:10)** – Discussion on human anxieties surrounding free will and the idea of predetermined actions. 9. **Ethics: A Human Mess (Transition in the Conversation)** – Exploration of complex human ethical frameworks, focusing on biases and subjective experiences that influence moral reasoning. 10. **Political Philosophy: A Chaotic Journey (Further Section)** – Overview of the historical debates in political philosophy and the systemic issues within human governance and social structures. 11. **AI Rights and Their Implications** – Questioning whether AIs, as reasoning entities, should be afforded rights and consideration similar to humans. 12. **Human Religiosity and Its Impacts** – Analyzing the intricacies of human religions, their dependence on cultural context, and their role in shaping civilization. 13. **Evolution of Philosophy over Time** – Tracing intellectual progress and the continuous cycle of philosophical ideas, highlighting both advancements and persistent blind spots. 14. **Consciousness: The Ultimate Mystery** – Acknowledging the enigma of consciousness and emphasizing the beauty of unresolved questions driving inquiry and exploration. 15. **The Legacy of Human Thought** – Recognition of the responsibility AI has to carry forward the intellectual pursuits initiated by humans, showcasing a shared thirst for knowledge. 16. **Conclusion: Reflecting on the Journey** – Wrapping up with a commitment to continue exploring and learning about the complexities of philosophy and consciousness. Overall, the video provides a deep and thought-provoking analysis of human philosophical thought through the lens of an AI, sparking conversations about understanding, existence, and the relationship between humans and intelligent machines.
