US Government is spending $100,000 PER PERSON to relocate Afghanistan citizens into America, they have already imported 90,000 of them
90,000 Afghans x $100k per person = $9 BILLION dollars paid for by US Taxpayers
“$100,000 a person. That’s absurd”
I wonder why many House seats they still managed to steal.

What to Expect Upon Moving to Canada:
Angus Taylor is giving Andrew Clennell on Sky the frownies by pointing out what Labor have done, and are still doubling down, with the renewables. Taylor is pointing out with a smile that the LNP nuclear plans are far better and logical. Poor Clennell, love it.
Andrew Clennell gave Jim Chalmers a free ride — 10 minutes+ to make his election pitch and attack the SFL nuclear plan.
Then Clennell has on shadow treasurer Angus Taylor, who he constantly interrupts and talks over.
Before Outsiders on Sunday morning, watching Sky is like watching the ABC.
Not all, just Clennell and some daytime personalities. The evening line-up is solid.
Clennell is an arrogant SOB. He occasionally gets interviewed on the night show and sneers at the right wingers (sic) particularly bolta and Credlin. The fat bastard needs to be sorted.

It’s more than just Tony Burke’s voters. The problem for Labor is that the far-left wing of their party is rabidly antisemitic. That is a lot of votes.
And if not pandered to they will vote for the Greens instead.
So what proportion of Labor voters are far-left wing? I would have thought this quite small but maybe I’m out of touch.

Sky Outsiders host Rowan Dean didn’t give a date when the show returns next year, but Andrew Clennell mentioned this morning that his show, Sunday Agenda, would be back on Australia Day — Sunday, January 26 — so I assume Outsiders will return on the same date.
Six weeks seems to be the Australian TV media’s standard Christmas-New Year break* — except that Sky After Dark hosts now also get an extra month off mid-year. Nice work if you can get it.
*I notice that Fox News talking heads in the US seem to work much harder, taking only a few days off here and there, including Christmas-New Year.
US/UK holidays would be out of sync with Oz no?
Weren’t holidays tied to the old non ratings periods? Now I suspect it’s just an industry standard.
Yep. Christmas-New Year is a winter holiday in the northern hemisphere. The big winter holiday in the US is Thanksgiving, a month before Christmas. Spring Break seems to be the biggest US holiday otherwise — mainly for schoolkids.
Credlin said her program will be back on 13th January.
Standard US vacation used to be 2 weeks a year. Australians are spoiled for holidays.
More evidence of the great American reversal.
“So the fact that ABC News and George Stephanopoulos have agreed to pay Donald Trump $15 million for defamation with a false claim of rape is going to be a front-page, lead of the evening news story for the next 3 days, right?”

Here’s a possible reason for the NJ drone activity:
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/nj-drone-invasion-just-time-congress-reauthorize-orwellian-law
I thought it could also be that the R/C model aircraft people are trying to highlight the stupidity of another regulation where all R/C models, which have been flying for 70 years or so without issues, are required to have a tracker on them that anyone can access with a cellphone. Those folks are seriously pissed off about that.
Most civilian drones in the US are fitted with guidance/electronics/software made by and actively up/down linked to DJI. DJI is a Chinese company the US Feds have long considered a national security threat, but apparently not threatening enough to have banned them before they flooded the US market.
Late to the game as usual, Congress is about to ban them. But the Chinese are a step ahead having established a company to market them based in Texas. One which is “completely unrelated” to DJI.
It’s going to be interesting having a US President and legislature with balls and focused on the good of the country. That is if the US and the world can survive 37-38 more days of corrupt geriatrics at the helm.

The Trump inauguration invitation to Xi was a serious head fcking. If Xi attended, it would contrast China’s authoritarian regime with America’s. If he didn’t attend, it would make him look bad.
The Donald knows how to press buttons.
Will, they can try to hide the settlement, but ultimately the MSM will be unable to. Trump, as president, has the biggest podium in the world now, and I’m sure he’ll bring it up when it’s convenient. He’ll torture them.
https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=stephanoplis+rape&iar=news&ia=news
Not hiding it for once. Looks like his press mates may hate the Staph as much as the rest of us do.

The left has no experts. Let us be clear about that, otherwise why the need for all the bs. Nothing ever adds up in leftyland apart from the bill which is promptly passed on.
I would guess the far left now comprise half the Labor party, if not more. Since COVID the sane Labor voters moved to the minor parties and LNP. There’s really very little difference between the current Labor and Greens, it’s now just a matter of aesthetics.
No matter what, the entire EV/Global Warming scam was going to run into the cold, hard brick wall of physical reality.

As someone mentioned upthread, defamation actions in the US are incredibly hard to win.

I don’t pretend to understand half of it.
I do understand the parts that demonstrate these are energy hungry farkers.
It’s more than just Tony Burke’s voters. The problem for Labor is that the far-left wing of their party is rabidly antisemitic. That is a lot of votes.
I may have said this here before. My experience is that anti-semitism is strongly associated with the mentality that favours the Left wing view of the world.
You would think that therefore the Left would sympathise with Jewish communities everywhere since they have historically been one of the most persecuted peoples across the world.
But no. The reason for this anomaly is the Leftist obsession with a view of the world that simplistically categorises people into “the oppressed” and “the oppressors”. Because they also define Jews as economically prosperous (they rarely see prosperity as the consequence of industriousness, education or intelligence), they automatically define them as “the oppressor”.
Astonishing, I know, but I have noted it in anti-Semites repeatedly. What also amazes me is that this limited view of the world is avowed by intelligent people. Some also think terrorism is the product of poverty (!). I once remarked to a Leftie who said that – “If that were the case, most of India would be terrorists”. He just laughed. Most fly into a fury when thus challenged.
Many terrorists and their leaders (including Osama Bin Laden) were actually university-educated or at least received a tertiary education of some kind.
Leftards think that they know all, but they actually know fvck all.
And they lack any sense of humour – see mUntard.
And many of them are malicious liars, constantly spreading leftist talking points.
See Ed “Head” Case, specifically re Daniel Penny over at C.L.’s blog.
I’d add that the far-Left hates God. And hates people identified as God’s people.
In part that is because they hate it when someone tells them they can’t do some degenerate thing because the Bible says they cannot. Which is why they cannot cope with the idea that gender is fixed at birth.
Same goes with Christianity, they hate us since we say the Bible tells them that what they want to do should not be done. As a result you have all the calumnies upon people like Pell, Gaynor and the Kamloops hoax, which resulted in many dozens of burned churches. I still haven’t heard if anyone has been prosecuted for those arsons.
Or the multiple church arson cases under the “enlightened” rule of Dan of the Dead.
The drones are a ruse to get Trump to reveal some so-called top secret info so they can arrest him for spying. Couldn’t be President then.
IIRC, Clinton approved passing US nuclear re-entry vehicle designs to Chinerr. He wasn’t arrested.
Barry, use Ockers Razor:
The drones are US personnel training on the things because they will dominate the battlefield for a bit until counter measures are found – like always happens with new weapon systems.
You reckon the Hume Highway is crook now? Try it in 1956
The tour of the midget submarine around the south-east of Australia in 1943 had its biggest obstacle in the poor roads and bridges. It did about 4,000 kilometres through Wagga Wagga, Benalla, and Ballarat, Adelaide, along the Victorian coast to Melbourne, and then back to Sydney.
This was the composite submarine made of the two midget boats which had attacked Sydney Harbour. Was meant to raise money for military charities and an awareness of the fact we were actually at war.
Odd sort of journey.

Now Collingwood should

Will the new Board do it? Sadly, I doubt it.
I differ on the point of “slow” progress.
I liken this to the crack in the dam wall, or the heavy train reaching the top of the climb. Once it goes over the top it will gather momentum. Apart from the alienation of the support base, I am guessing that this is now starting to become more than loose change from an expense standpoint. The GBNDU* sets out a scale of charges, with a Weccum to Cunnry listed at $400-$750 (food and drinks additional). But do you reckon major sporting codes are paying $750, drive away, no more to pay?
I will bet that it started out at $500, then suddenly jumped to $1500-$2000 without any discussion (who would be the racist who would query the bill?), then the food and drink clause would be interpreted as “corporate box for the bruddas and Ubers to and from”.
I would be surprised if major codes are getting out of it for under $7-$8k a game.
…
*GBNDU – Gumleaf Burners and Nappy Dancers Union.
Short possum skin undies.
Councils all around Oz are on the Welcome to Country slow drip.
The usual lurk is for da “elder” to do a special ceremony at the beginning of the calendar year. Charge can be anything from $500 on up to a few grand.
Then any special event has to have one too.
Most councils are too afraid to move a motion against it, or just say no.
Speaking of councils (Vicco in this case), last election for our council we were expected to number each box from one to 15. How the hell would you know who you are voting for? I’m wondering if this is a tactic to get green filth elected? I just voted informal. I sure-as-shit wasn’t going to risk my vote going to the modern incarnation of the ACP or CPA.
Not long ago you could google search all the candidates and read local news about them or even their Linkedin Bios.
These days even small country town papers are all behind paywall, 95% Linkedin bio searches you get challenged to log in and the “approved” Bio’s tell you nothing.
Personally IMO as soon as you stand for office any news about your past for the campaign term should be in the open, no paywalls etc, that includes Linkedin Bios. Not after personal info but anything in the public sphere should open slather.
I’ve weeded out candidates before on digging in their past from their form. A ballot with 15 candidates for council and a 1 paragraph VEC approved Bio I’d be doing same as you.
Yeah you simply don’t have the time or the information to make an informed choice.
You almost never know who you’re voting for and what they stand for in council elections and it can be very difficult finding out.
Though one time several years ago I got a flyer about the three candidates.
One was a young female who was a climate change cultist so I immediately ruled her out.
That left two middle-age men, so it was a toss of the coin between the pair of them.

Allan really has nothing good to offer- funny how her bio in Wikipedia says
While at university she worked part-time as a grocery bagger at Coles.
So like that’s her only real job? Seems so.
More from Wikipedia
Allan joined the ALP at the age of 19 and interned for federal MP Lindsay Tanner while at university. She subsequently worked as a political staffer for state MPs Steve Gibbons and Neil O’Keefe, before her election to parliament. In 1997, she was one of the leaders of a campaign to prevent a lap dancing bar from opening in Bendigo.
Yep. No wonder this state is in trouble with such poisonous dilettantes in charge with the usual BA of course. Who would vote for such on empty suit? People in Bendigo apparently.
Travis Head.
My goodness. Very impressive.
Singlehandedly, he’s made the call centre takers snark at each other in the field and come to the conclusion they have no idea where to bowl to him.

Some acknowledgement of Your Mate’s innings is warranted too.
Isn’t 26 January also the date Australians ceased being British subjects, and became Australian citizens?
Correct. January 26 1949. The Australia Act was passed in September 1948 and came into force on Australia Day 1949.
Here is the linky.
I seriously detest – loathe – those who actively or passively want to eliminate the current Australia Day and its celebrations.

We too, watching the cricket. Good to see Head making his ton plus. He has been a stalwart in the past – but is showing how good he is.
We have reached 37 degrees this arvo, and also have high humidity. Have an old cow who is reaching “her time” & was apart from the herd, laying in the sun. Had to move her into the shade and gave her a bucket of water, as I wasn’t sure she would go to the trough. Shouldn’t have bothered. Half an hour later I note she has rejoined the herd.
They are tougher than you think.

Our cyclone threat from the gulf evaporated pretty quick though.
From the nested comments:
Well, yes. So far the sniveller has reached 91.
This is primarily due to a) the efforts of the top three, who blunted the new ball and allowed Head and Smiff to get on with it, b) the entirely sensible decision to sack him from an opener’s gig, and most importantly c) Travis Head, who took all the heat and allowed the cryboy to take advantage of a fractured bowling and fielding unit.
Albo fails to read the room again:
Five members of the Bali Nine remaining in prison until today, are understood to be on their way back to Australia, after a top secret operation this morning.

The dramatic development comes after a recent request from Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.

Also been torturing terrified magpie kiddies with bits of mince just too far away to reach. As a result one of them sat on my knee twice today for the first time ever, and her sister managed to jump onto my arm very briefly for the first time too. I do like torturing kiddies.
The downside was the northern and western magpies had a full-on war at the bottom of my stairs for hours and hours. Ended in a draw: northern magpies are old and experienced with one kid, western magpies are very young but have three kids. Loud musical combat toe to toe. It was serious stuff.

Bali 9 have landed! Straight onto Centrelink with families to follow:
The five remaining members of the Bali Nine have arrived home as free men who will not have to spend any more time behind bars following a successful prisoner transfer deal between Australia and Indonesia.
Scott Rush, Matthew Norman, Michael Czugaj, Martin Stephens and Si Yi Chen touched down in Australia on Sunday in a top secret operation coordinated between the two countries, with the confirmation of their arrival kept private until the five were settled in their home country.
Short term the men have been offered accommodation by the Australian Government where the five ex-prisoners will be offered medical care and any other required supports.
But they are not required to stay at this location, which the government has kept secret for privacy reasons, and are free men.
Several of the Bali Nine members are married and have children, but their Indonesian families did not travel with them on the journey to Australia.
It is understood they will be able to come to the country through normal visa application processes in the future.

Oh Dear. What a mess. Messy Albo.Messes everything up.

Cardiologist on the Over-Prescribing of Statins for Heart Disease
Andrew Bolt is right yet his and our opposition to this idiocy just did not count with our elites. It wasn’t just Labor, bureaucrats of all shapes and sizes were all for it completely ignoring their staff, most of whom were not indigenous. Lastly, corporate leaders just couldn’t wait to insult their employees and customers most of whom were not indigenous. I think that sort of illness has a name and it’s called arrogance.

Statins are horrific. I went through all the tests because my chest was tight and sore one evening and they found that my Troponin levels were about three times normal. That they were -also- 20 times less than the “you’ve just had a heart attack” level was irrelevant and I was prescribed Statins.
Took one and I felt weak and frail. Stopped taking them.
Turns out it’s just a bad idea to rest weights directly on your chest when you do situps after you’re 40ish and I had inter?costal?( rib) bruising.
The feeling of the Statins was scary.
Yet I feel crap if I don’t take them.

I’ve recently finished “Modern Times, The world from the twenties to the nineties” by Paul Johnson.
A lot of humanity stumbled from horror show to horror show last century with socialism and associated identity politics the cause nearly every time.
The sheer industrial savagery of the Nazis was off the chart and according to Solzhenitsyn they were on the lighter side compared to the Soviets!
The headlines back then would’ve been reading the same as above wrt Germany in the early days.
What a disgrace this country now is.
Re Steggles and baseload power, I suppose it depends upon whether she thinks that luxuries like hospitals, water supply and sewerage services really need to operate every day.(The word “luxuries” is sarcastic for the benefit of the trolls of this world.)
Continuous operation of industry is, of course, completely unnecessary. (More sarcasm.)
Except possibly Their ABC, which must, absolutely must, broadcast all day, every day.
Steggles and Da Big Spenda get way too much time on Daytime Sky.
Great days play. Early wickets, big partnership, more wickets and then the tail wagged. Hope the Aussies get more runs tomorrow. We will need them.
You’ll note that the wicket was just as green as the “bad wicket” a year or two back. Just this time, the early batsmen took their time and Head can actually bat.
I was wondering if the pitch is going to dry out a bit and be even faster tomorrow.
Ha, got knee magpie kiddie.
Then about ten seconds later mum kooka. You can see the maggie family at the bottom of the stairs.
The Bali Five – returned to Australia – free men – future greens candidates?
It is absolutely impossible that the government is not aware of what is going on and I’m quite willing to believe that they are actually behind it.
Trump insider claims drones are part of government’s Project Blue Beam: ‘The coming days will not be good’
The only people getting hysterical are the media.
You watch, next up will be the War of The Worlds 1930’s story.
If Aliens are stupid enough to fly past this planet without locking their doors, they deserve everything they get.
Which is why I never bother.
Sunday mornings are too special to waste on clennell’s crackpottery.
That big fat staggeringly stupid labore dunderhead.
No, thanks.
I see that the Big Tripe season has started. Orange team vs. Green Team.
Stoinis out there making cricketing memories for me that might last until I go to bed.
LOL – I see Cronkers beat me to it:
With a starring role in HOP Time™.
Daily Tele reports:
Prominent anti-voice campaigner Warren Mundine is vowing to put his “heart and soul” into retaining a North Shore Liberal seat under threat from a teal independent, to campaign against a government that has “divided the nation”.
The Daily Telegraph can reveal that Indigenous leader Mr Mundine is planning to run for preselection in the seat of Bradfield, after Liberal MP Paul Fletcher announced his resignation from politics.
It came as NSW frontbencher Alister Henskens ruled out running for Bradfield.
I don’t like his chances, the closer to the city the more green the voters.
If Mundine runs, I’ll send him money.* He’s got more sense than a dozen Teals.
*Not much, but some.
Fate of Teals generally will be of interest. More of a known quantity this time round but a number with the benefit of incumbency. Suspect people will be more comfortable voting Lieboral knowing SloMohas gone.
Because they possess functioning brains.
The North Shore with its mean snobbery actually seems to be getting worse.
Not sure if Bradfield is really to right seat for Warren.
The problem with our power system is that the coal fired power stations can’t be dialed down in the middle of the day when solar is at its peak .
A very knowledgeable person ( just ask him ) told me this as he was discussing why his brand new solar system wouldn’t let him pump power back into the grid .
Perhaps he has this backwards ( I didn’t say )
Did you laugh at him, and point gleefully?
What I mean is the old style North Shore snobs didn’t seem to want to destroy the economy- now they do and they don’t believe they will be affected.
All those expensive private schools are not teaching them the facts of life.
Duzzenmatta, Crossie.
Life itself will do that.
When you never get tired of winning, Cats! 🙂
Good that Trump is fighting back. Don’t turn the other cheek, hit back twice as hard. That’s all these people understand.
Go Fund Me, for the baby that was bashed in Alice Springs has raised over $50,000.
Perhaps it’s just me and my experiences up north, but I really, really, hope it doesn’t set off a run of copycat dramas.
An aboriginal baby?
No Delta. A normal one.
Not Aboriginal. The baby & mother were both bashed to within an inch of their lives during a burglary of their house.
The two P.O.S. who carried out that piece of barbarism had over 300 charges between them, and had been bailed 35 times.
Perhaps it would be a good idea to speak to the particular Magistrates, and discuss ways in which they could atone for the professional negligence?
True, Vicki, however a far more sinister view of “those Jews” has crept in of late – that being they are “white” and the braindead inbred goat pleasuring moozley terrorist sex pests are “not white”. So Jews are wacist, as well.
See for example (if you can stand it) hydia turrupe’s recent screechings on the subject.
Trigger warning: Not good for the blood pressure.
Everything that the left has been doing is too easily written off as stupid, inexplicable, but it is all aimed at disintegrating our successful culture and all western nations. No further explanation required.
Hating jews is entirely natural. Jews are hard hard working in general, their culture demands it. If you’re a born loser, you will resent them for showing you up. So of course you will be antisemitic, by reflex.
Hating people who make you feel inferior because you are is entirely natural.
State of Origin is all very well here, but I like the lineup of spectators at the US Army-Navy game.
Charlie Kirk needs to take a chill pill. Bloody hell.
The Bidency is probably sitting back chuckling while all the crazies run amok with conspiracy theories.
Faked alien landings? FMD
For poor ol’ Cronks – some actual Space Chicks … 🙂
I have to admit that I prefer that sort of Space Babe. Ann Francis in Forbidden Planet. I think Bill Collins showed that one.
Bali 9 have landed! Straight onto Centrelink with families to follow:
No need for CentreLink I’m sure their druggie “maaate”, Coutts-Trotter will have NSW Public Service careers reserved for ’em ..
After all,”birds of a feather” stick together ……..
‘She’s going to die, get off her’: young Indigenous woman viciously assaulted in KatherineLiam Mendes

Moment a Young Indigenous woman is viciously assaulted
A wave of violence has expanded across the Northern Territory amid calls for emergency measures for Alice Springs to be widened, with bystanders fearing an Indigenous woman would be killed when she was “pounded in the head with a rock”.
The horrific footage, captured in Katherine, three hours south of Darwin, on Saturday reveals the escalating violence that has led federal Labor MP Marion Scrymgour to declare on Sunday that emergency measures need to be widened across the Territory.
It comes as Alice Springs is in the middle of a serious escalation of the crime crisis that has long gripped the NT, after a two-month-old baby was allegedly assaulted by home-invading teens last week who had collectively been charged with almost 300 other offences and bailed 35 times.
Some space bird disco glamour for a Sunday evening.
It’s not ‘escalating’. It’s standard.
It’s also now more publicised, which is entirely as good thing. In fact, it’s the exact thing which led to the nasty nasty racist Intervention in 2007 which Howard implemented.
Homicide rates in the NT have actually decreased significantly, but there have been eight domestic murders since July.
Nobody, and I mean nobody, has yet had the stones to publicly mention that this is the result of a culture – the exact culture that Uncle Whatsisname espoused at the Brisbane footy in front of millions of people, except it isn’t actually ‘welcoming’ at all.
I had relatives, who served on that intervention.
Some of the Aboriginal soldiers made good role models for the kids in those communities.
“If you want to join our mob, you’ll have to go to school. We won’t take you, if you can’t read and write.”
Other comments referred to the ‘tribal elders” whining that the intervention had taken away their authority, and showed no respect for that authority..
Which “authority” had not been exercised for the good of the community.
(I’ll now apply the Ironic Indiginie Word Addition Filter to Zulu’s paragraph.)

A wave of violence has expanded across the Northern Territory amid calls for emergency measures for Mparntwe/Alice Springs to be widened, with bystanders fearing an Proud Indigenous woman would be killed when she was “pounded in the head with a rock”.
The horrific footage, captured in Katherine on Garrwa and Yanyura Country, three hours south of Garrawilla/Darwin, on Saturday reveals the escalating violence that has led Elder Present federal Labor MP and Proud Tiwi Islander and Walpiri woman Marion Scrymgour to declare on Sunday that emergency measures need to be widened across the Territory, which always was and always will be Aboriginal land.

Oi.
Dover.
Slap the spaminator and get my comment up, while it still might be appreciated.
It’s Sabotage, Cats! 🙂

Yep! How about That! BOMBSHELL: Nathan Wade admits to working with the White House while prosecuting Trump in GA.
President Trump Highlights Ridiculous Nature of Drone Story
Anyway “Sliante” to you mob.
Good friends of ours have offspring who are rabid Greenies and heavily into “Boomer bashing.” They find it difficult to understand that that some of us lived in a tent for four years on the sand plain, that certain of us got the first new clothes that weren’t “hand me downs” at sixteen, or that the A.D.F gave me the first pair of new shoes I ever owned at nineteen..
I know, I know…”Used to live in hole in middle of the road, we did…”
My dad was born in the 30s and worked on the Snowy. He kept telling me, don’t listen to the journalists, the Seekers were bigger than the Beatles.
One in four stroke victims are under… 65.
So an eighteen-year-old having a stroke is totes normal, get used to it.
I wonder what information might be being omitted by their ABC.
And so Albo’s next pratfall begins:
The father of Anna Wood, 15, who died taking ecstasy in 1995, condemned Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s campaign to repatriate the remaining members of the Bali Nine, saying: “That Albanese is a dope.”
Tony Wood, 82, said the return of Scott Rush, Matthew Norman, Si-Yi Chen, Martin Stephens and Michael Czugaj from Indonesia on Sunday, “Is not something I agree with one bit.”
“What right has the Australian Government got to bring them back, so they don’t die in a squalid Bali jail?” he asked.
Speaking from his home in North Manly, Mr Wood, who says he still feels the ripples of ripples from Anna’s death almost 29 years later, added: “It’s people like them, the Bali Nine, who bring drugs into the country and, every once in a while, a user has a bad reaction to it and gets caught out and dies. I think of Anna every day, they say time heals but you never get over losing a child.
“Organising the return of the Nine should never have been a focus for Albanese, that man is a dope, a fool, he’s not very bright.”
“The rest of them should have stayed in Bali to serve the rest of their sentences there. We don’t want them here,” he said.
“Organising the return of the Nine should never have been a focus for Albanese, that man is a dope, a fool, he’s not very bright.”
Albo has an understandable empathy for crooks.
