LA Descends Into Chaos as Looters Exploit Wildfires
From memory, there were riots and looting in Los Angeles, in either 1968 or 1970, and the Army was called in to keep the peace.
An “urban sniper” was being interviewed – yes, he shot at the police, the fire brigade and the National Guard, but “Shooting at the 82nd Airborne? Are you crazy, those dudes shoot back!”
My father used to tell me how during WWII looters were shot on sight.
Bring it back!

Taj Mahal, Agra, India
In the early seventeenth Shah Jahan so much loved his wife who died giving birth to their fourteenth child (note that he had other wives too) that he built a mausoleum in her memory and to honour her. This was the century that saw the English Civil War – a dynamic time. The heartbroken Shah spent twenty years and much treasure creating for this wife, as an eternal byre, a building of such poignant beauty that it still breaks hearts today, as it surely did mine. You cannot but be touched by its sense of romance and fancy, by the glowing white marble of which it is composed, by its minarets, domes and towers, and when closer, by the spiraling floral-inlay decoration of glue-set and polished semi-precious stones. Here in undying flowers are found shining mother-of-pearl, turquoise, blue lapis lazuli, jade, cornelian (a red stone that glows in the dark), green anthracite and black onyx. From tiny chips 20000 artists housed in a local village toiled for twenty years to create the intricate decorations for the splendid interior as well as thousands of others employing in carving out and erecting its marble walls and features.
What is more, I’ve always thought of it as an average tomb-sized building, because I’ve never seen it against people as a comparator; yet on first viewing it is overwhelmingly huge, especially when you see visitors against it. At the base and on the external walkway into the shrine, people seem like ants. It has the same visual emotional impact as the huge Christ the Redeemer that dominates over Rio.
Leading up to this shrine are long fountain pools surrounded by perfumed gardens and one well-placed seat that is now famous for those photographs of a disconsolate Princess Diana seated alone brooding over her failing marriage the Charles, Prince of Wales. Needless to say, in the crowds there that day, largely tourists from within India, there was a queue for your photograph to be taken alone on that seat with the Taj behind in all of its glory. For my turn, I tried to look pouting with unhappiness but couldn’t manage it. Too happy, I say to Hairy.
The next morning we are taken to a workshop where skilled artisans work now on making table tops and souvenirs utilising these same traditional techniques. In the village behind the Taj, over the river, there still live families maintaining this traditional skill; only 2000 people now know it, and their numbers are dwindling. Not surprising, because it is tremendously finnicky and difficult work, but reasonably paid and with some OHS applied now. We purchased a marble table top and marble latticed base to be shipped home, as our memento of this romantic place, as did three other couples in our small tour group. Future antiques, we tell each other, falling for it all, we of the spending generation. Hairy and I didn’t take the tour of the village starting early the next morning. Our American Trump supporting friend stayed away too. I hate to see poverty turned into a zoo, she said, rather as we thought too. There’s enough on the roadsides and in the old towns without having to make a display and tourist feature of it. Some of our purchase price does go to the workers, so we thought that a good contribution.
Forgot to mention that this Shah had a son who killed all brothers who might succeed him, took the Peacock Throne, and imprisoned his father in the great palatial ‘Red Fort’ and palace we visited before the Taj Mahal. There Shah Jahan could view his beloved’s mausoleum from a beautiful set of rooms and gardens. The view over the river to the Taj in the early morning mist was quite magical, such that Jahan opted to be buried there next to his true love, in the Taj. It is said that this usurping son was so hopeless a ruler that he began the steep decline of the Mogul Empire that followed.
Today’s busy tourist ruined Taj interior for Hairy, who recalls almost no-one else there in his visit in 1975 with his first wife For us now, endlessly shouting Indians jostling each other were a distraction, as were the police whistles which the military in full camo gear used to keep the crowd moving. Re crowd control at these intensely protected sites, entry to them in India is often streamed into ‘tourists’, ‘Indian Ladies’ and ‘Indian Gentlemen’. I think this is because in long packed queues the sexual harassment of Indian women by Indian men was severe.
This is also the fort where later a British general killed in the 1857 mutiny was buried, his impressive grave site is still as it was under the British, prominently displayed in the parade ground.
That son was Aurangazeb. He was a zealot. His reign was the beginning of the end of the Mughals.
Thank you Lizzie.
This is the kind of travelogue I like, never had the desire to go to India but it is a fascinating place, to learn about it vicariously is great.
PS, that goes for the reports from Gilas as well, sorry if I miss anyone else.

BREAKING: Former Labour MP Ivor Caplin, who criticized Elon Musk on British TV last week for his remarks about Keir Starmer, has been arrested following a sting operation by citizen pedophile hunters.
Caplin allegedly attempted to arrange a meeting with a 15-year-old boy.
Former Hove MP arrested – Brighton and Hove News
Citizen pedophile hunters. Try putting that on your tax return.
You cannot make this stuff up.
No surprise that it’s in Brighton.
Better link to the Ivor Caplin arrest story showing the ‘who me’ face
https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/32746797/former-labour-mp-arrested/
From the article:
In June 2024 Caplin was suspended from the Labour Party over undisclosed serious allegations, which he denies.
Well well well, what say these allegations?
I certainly hope the KGB/GRU/FSS didn’t know of his supposed interest in young-boys-under-the-age-of-consent leanings.
That would be quite a feather in their cap – The Minister for Defence on their payroll.

When a major fire breaks out in an urban or city environment it is quite common for a pumper or two to tap in a block or so away from the scene in order to “boost” the mains and therefor provide more than enough water to the units actually fighting the fire. In other words a single fire fighting effort can severely degrade local water pressure/flow rate.
I’ve been wondering about this “LA hydrants running dry” thing for a few days thinking something else could be at play.
As if the draw on the system wouldn’t be huge enough with the dozens of pumper units they use it appears another very significant factor was having an effect.
A crew chief I saw interviewed on a news report last night was lamenting that nearly all the houses are equipped with their own indoor sprinkler system, which is useless against fire from the outside but when house after house etc go up and all these sprinkler systems activate at full flow it bled critical flow out of the mains. The system was overwhelmed.
It also explains all the water you see running down driveways from most destroyed houses.
Ive yet to see an Aussie style external sprinkler system powered by a diesel pump and fed from the ubiquitous swimming pools. I also wonder why the LAFD trucks didnt draft from said swimming pools, do they not have the capability to do that? All aussie bush trucks do.
My mate did duk. His was fed from a dam. Misting system over the whole house. When it was operating you could hardly see the house. His house had previously burnt down.
We lost our retirement property to a fire some years ago. When we rebuilt, yes, there was a rooftop sprinkler system, fed by a dedicated tank with a backup generator. Like your mate, when it’s operating, you can barely see the house.
I’ve thought that as well.
A few key things between here and there that would make a lot of difference.
That’s such an obvious flaw in the system, you’d have to wonder how it got through the licencing process.
Unless of course the DEI hire was involved.
You might not be allowed a diesel generator under California emissions law. My mate in the UK imported a marine diesel with low hours for a 60 foot ex lifeboat that had been made illegal in the US around the mid 90s. Importing whole boats was economic for a while around the peak of the GFC I believe but not for long.
Looks like Fluffy needs to check in with RFK Jr. for advice about the American Diet.
Over in Airstrip One, the dying media have been working hard to pretend nothing never happened. In 2024 the BBC aired ‘Liar: The Fake Grooming Scandal’ and only last week Channel 4 launched a three parter on the same case.
Meanwhile, at the blog where no on reads the comments, they’ve been having a bit of a look.
From the link:
The scab is barely lifted on this scandal, and it has all the appearance of going all the way to the bone.
Did these news outlets highlight other fake accusations in the past?
If not why not?
They are complicit.
Fake allegations against Christian clergy, for example?
Exactly, BJ.

@OKPrayinPatriot
As I sit here in Oklahoma watching the snow fall outside my windows, I can’t help but think about the horrible treatment my husband and other January 6 defendants have received from the Bureau of Prisons, the D.C. Jail, and various facilities across the country.
My husband has not seen sunlight in months; he has had only about ten hours of sunlight in the past eight months. He is in a prison where the temperatures in the cells in the morning are around 45 to 50 degrees. In other facilities, the heat is unbearable and makes the detainees feel sick. Sparse communication is the norm. Constant lockdowns are as well.
My husband suffers from severe PTSD from his combat service, severe depressive disorder, and several other ailments. He is a 100% permanently disabled combat veteran, fully service-connected. He honorably fought for this country, earning many awards for his valor in combat. Now, he is rotting in a prison cell without proper mental health treatment or care for his physical ailments sustained from combat. He cannot receive the therapy, counseling, or medication he needs to help improve his mental or physical state. No reasonable accommodations are made for him.
Do you know what a lack of sunlight does to someone with PTSD and severe depressive disorder? It’s devastating! To make matters worse, he has no quiet; he is bunked with another inmate, and at times the noise and chaos is completely unbearable.
What the January 6 defendants have endured at the hands of the Biden administration, the weaponized FBI, the DOJ, and the January 6 Unselect Committee is horrific and should never have happened!
January 6, 2021, was not the insurrection—November 3, 2020, was. The Democrats stole an election and caused a riot on January 6 at the instruction of Pelosi and Milley, among others, to cover it up so they could certify a largely contested election.
Joe Biden is an illegitimate president, and everything he has done while in office deserves to be closely examined and likely overturned.
All charges against the January 6 defendants should be dropped; they all deserve pardons and compensation for the hell they have endured since January 6, 2021.
Nothing can completely fix the fallout from January 6 for the families affected—no amount of time can return what has been lost: relationships, celebrations, funerals, and goodbyes that never happened.
Finances have been destroyed. SSDI Benefits lost. Retirements lost. Careers and businesses have been lost and may never be able to be regained. People have lost their homes. The defamation and the smear campaigns that have damaged their images forever will haunt them.
However, one thing that can begin the healing process is releasing the January 6 detainees on day one. Let my people go; let them start to rebuild their lives.
Some have families and homes to return to; others, sadly, do not. Some have children they have never met or who they haven’t seen in months—years for many. Every case is unique, but all are devastating in their own way.
@realDonaldTrump, as a wife of a January 6 hostage, I urge you to release ALL January 6 detainees on day one.
Issue pardons of innocence, just as you did for @GenFlynn, to all January 6 defendants. Please don’t leave any behind. All are victims of a weaponized government.
Free the January 6 hostages so our country can begin to heal. Our families can only start to mend with your help. We cannot do it without you.
We are counting on you, sir.
Allow the J6 prisoners to sue the committee members and Democrats personally, as well as them being charged and imprisoned.

Further to the attack on Newtown Synagogue in the early hours of Saturday morning, the NSWaffen Plod have now released the following…
On Saturday evening NSW Police released four images of two individuals they believe may be able to assist with the investigation.
“Police have released CCTV images after offensive graffiti was sprayed on a synagogue in Sydney’s Inner West this morning, during which police believe an arson attempt was also made,” the force said in a statement.
“Initial inquiries have led police to believe two people attended the synagogue around 4.25am today.”
Yesterday morning, in the hours after the Newtown Synagogue attack and the Queens Park vandalism, Pretty Boy Minns said the acts were “monstrous and appalling”. Gosh, you don’t say, Pretty Boy Minns!
The clock is ticking, and it is only a matter of time until some Jews are physically harmed.
All that pretty talk by Pretty Boy Minns isn’t deterring any of the attacks, is it?
The Oz is reporting…….
Peter Dutton says the election of a Coalition government this year will be the ‘last chance’ to reverse the economic and social decline of Australia, as he begins his campaigning in 2025 in the Melbourne seat of Chisholm.
Dutton is correct. The reelection of the slug of Grayndler and his merry Jew hating sidekicks will simply embolden the Muslim and leftist Nazis.
When it comes to free speech Dutton is a windsock.

Yes he is. I don’t trust Dutton with free speech. He was fully behind Scummo and Andrews during covid. He’s just another fkg cop.

Has anyone noticed that in the aftermath rubble of the California fires there is not a brick in sight? It seems all their construction is made up of wood and other flammable materials. Perhaps if they used bricks and terracotta or concrete roof tiles their buildings might withstand fire a lot better.
When visiting Canada some years ago I saw a new subdivision in the process of construction. All the outside walls were three layers of wooden boards, the outer skin, the middle skin and the inner skin. I expect that was to provide insulation for the cold winter temperatures.

In Canada it’s a good material to cope with the freeze/thaw cycle of the soil. Hard to find brick or stone houses in Siberia.

Piers Akerman:
I watched Albo also say that these acts of anti-semitism should not be tolerated. I caught the qualification straight away, he did not say it will not be tolerated. Right there he announced that his government will do nothing about it. Not a single journalist in that gaggle around him was smart enough to pick up the distinction.
They picked it up alright and agreed with him. Lying by omission.
Perhaps he’s hoping for some vigilante pay back seeing as the Waffen and judges plus Labor don’t give a cr#p. The longer this rubbish goes on without government intervention to stamp it out leaves a very very dangerous and possibly explosive situation.

This thread is supposed to be 20+ years old.
But it still says “The problem is not with Pakistani men, it is a small group of men who just happen to be Pakistani.”
The unspoken message is “Most Pakistani men are innocent – just a few bad apples.”
I call bullshit. Entire families know of this – they are all implicit.
It’s designed to suck in the gullible and stupid – something that is NOT in short supply in the West, and especially among the rich and powerful who are rarely exposed to the duplicity of Islam.
No, the thread details events going back over 20 years.
There are admissions in there that cover all levels of Govt and both Tory and Labour Govts.
I agree, parts are an arse covering exercise. To me that’s irrelevant. The significant info IMO ( various criminal high level Police officers, the corrupt CPS, media censorship of the crimes, companies owned/operated by moslem groomers and with Govt funding etc) and how long it’s been going on for are the real issues.
There’s no harm looking into alternative POV, to FAFO. We may learn something.

This is a cop out. A furfy. Islam has been growing in the UK since the 60’s. Nothing new here. What we are witnessing is the UK establishment (with FULL knowledge of the evils of Islam) perpetrating an organised capitulation over recent decades and in real time for the sake of votes, careers, power and sheer greed. The utter betrayal of the British race. The establishment was fomenting the same kind of capitulation in the 30’s to Hitler. This time they have largely succeeded.
Yes. That’s what I said.
The duplicity is there for a reason – so those who benefit from the lies get a cover for their own duplicity.
No you didn’t. You inferred the rich establishment has been ignorant and gullible.
I’m saying that’s BS. The establishment (rich and powerful) know exactly what they are doing and why. The Establishment is NOT being duped by taqqiya. They are perpetrating this betrayal with full knowledge of islam.
They thought they had control of Govts and media.They have been using demographics and social engineering over decades (via Labour and Tory)to fortify their place at the apex of the Brit class system – The Establishment.
It’s all came undone with Reform, X -Elon Musk (Trump) and Robinson. We are seeing now a maelstrom of media and information chaos as exposure rolls on. No idea how this pans out. But I suspect once President, Trump will have much more to say about Starmer’s attempt at interference in US elections.

Is the RC Bishop’s Conference likewise subsidised by the taxpayer?
The Anglican bishops?
The Australian Christan Churches (Pentecostals)?
If the rationale for this singularly generous funding is to get the imams on-side with the government’s calls for social cohesion it’s not working. They’ve not spoken out once about antisemitism. They have, however, called the Israeli actions in Gaza a holocaust. That might conceivably lead some hotheads to feel justified in daubing synagogues with swastikas.
Australia may be ostensibly ‘Christian’, but it is officially a secular society. Funding of religions (any religions) should not be allowed.
That’s not the point.
If you’re anti Australian, anti-western, anti-Judeo-Christian, canbra will give you OPM. It’s the canbra way.
That may be so, but note I’m being specific here.
I’m drawing a connecting line between the inflammatory public statements of the imam’s council on Gaza, which are no doubt a reflection of what is taught in their mosques, and the vandalism of synagogues.
And to add insult to injury, we are subsidising them.
Come to think of it, if you’re anti-mining, anti-industry, anti-agriculture, canbra will also give you OPM. Consider the EDO. A despicable, hateful parasite on the face of this fair land.

U.K. ‘Grooming Gangs’ Scandal Could Happen In The U.S. Thanks To Leftist Justice System
It could have happened in Australia too but a judge really punished the bastard muzzies:
Under the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act 1999 (NSW), Judge Finnane QC sentenced Mohammed to 32 years in prison for his involvement in the crimes. Bilal Skaf was sentenced to 55 years with a non-parole period of 40 years. At the time, this was the longest non-life sentence ever handed down in Australia.
skafcasespdf
However, under rub and tug and the liars’ dependence on the muzzie vote another outbreak of culturally based rape may get a more lenient treatment.
Wasn’t Mohammed Skaf released on parole a couple of years ago?
It’s in the link. The skaf gang really hated Australian and non-muslim women.
I suspect the Skaf case and the so-called Cronulla riots (actually a reaction to Mooslime provocations) caused a few to back off around that time.
Unfortunately, the actions of AnAl and Co are now encouraging the kinds of events occurring in the UK and elsewhere.
Witness the stabbing of the Bishop. The congregation protected their own. How many have been charged? Almost all the men.
Yet, to date, not a single raghead has been done for the rioting and vandalism of the past fifteen months.
And to add insult to injury, we are subsidising them.
Which is why I regard taxation as theft and demanding money with menaces.
On building practices, people build to save cost and, over time, develop styles which suit their climate.
We spent a bit of time in that area a few years ago and, whilst I wasn’t closely looking at building methods and materials, I have a vague memory of houses with slatted eaves, rather than solid infill (no doubt to help air flow in a warm climate).
Uh-oh.

That doesn’t look healthy:
FX RATE 0.6121
Gold $4,404.11
USD is rising against everyone else.
U.S. Dollar Index (DXY)
Pick the 3m option on the graph, you’ll see what I mean. So it isn’t our dollar falling it is the USD going up.
Except Gold and BTC. For the moment.
Gold is priced in USD, so the AUD gold price goes up in tandem with the USD.
Gold has gone up substantially in USD. Which I made clear.
Gold can be priced in any currency.
It did but now it’s plateaued in the last few months (click on the 1Y tab).
In that same recent period the USD has been appreciating against the other currencies – but not against gold. But as I said because the USD is climbing against AUD, and gold is flat vs USD, that means our local AUD gold price is still climbing. Which should be good for our gold miners if Plibersek ever decides to let them like actually mine any of it.
Geez Bruce, NOTHING goes up in a straight line, except Govt debt perhaps. IMO we will see US$3000+.
I suspect the reason is Trump. The appreciation of the USD commenced about a week or so before the election, when it was starting to become clear that he might win. And that would be good for the dollar.
Likewise gold: it is a fear commodity. With Trump in the WH there would be much less fear sentiment, so traders would be swapping out from gold to the dollar and equities (in advance of expected tax cuts).
Not sure where this puts Warren Buffett, who has liquidated a lot of BH stock holdings and is currently sitting on a cash pile the size of Mt Everest.
(I look at the WSJ Markets page every morning since it isn’t paywalled and has a lot of good overview information in one convenient place. Worth bookmarking.)
Yes.
I quoted the gold price in A$. Obviously.
If it were US$4404, we’d be in more strife than Hanrahan – in fact we’d be roooned.
Yes.
The US$ is going up.
The A$ is going down.
The gold price is going up in response to the differential in prices.
No the US$ is going up, period.
The Aussie is flat compared to other currencies.
Eg the Euro (scroll down a bit for the chart).
Some currencies like CAN are rising vs AUD, but that has local political reasons like Trudy being booted.
It could definitely happen here.
Let’s not forget that they went after the prosecutor, Margaret Cuneen, for daring to point out the organised, culturally based racism which under-pinned these crimes.
Cunneen, like Pell, was fortunate to have the legal firepower to fight back. Many others are not so fortunate.
I don’t know how someone like Bernard Gaynor keeps going when he doesn’t even have the resources of the Catholic church (not that Pell seemed to have them either) to back him.
His cause is just.
He gets a lot of support from people who donate to him.
…and while his religious beliefs give him a lot of support, his wife and family are treasures beyond compare.
For the record, Pell didn’t have church resources for his criminal defence and appeals. There were private donations from supporters (whom the loathsome Milligan vilified as p3do protectors), and I understand the process used up much of his family’s savings as well as his own.
Last work I saw of 7-Nilligan was a “shock expose” of posh school in Sydney, Cranbrook.

“To those who would seek to take advantage of evacuated communities, let me be clear: looting will not be tolerated,” California Governor Gavin Newsom said in a statement on Thursday as he announced the 400-strong National Guard deployment, which takes the number of official personnel on the ground responding to the disaster to 8,000.

Sky managed to say that LA Mayor Karen Bass has been criticised, but for some strange reason they never call people like her “extreme left”.
That language is reserved for conservatives, who are always called “extreme right”.
She’s an actual revolutionary Marxist who has visited Cuba dozens of times.
Mayor Karen Bass, Revolutionary Communist (9 Jan)
Given that Cuba is an absolute basket case it’s no surprise she is so incompetent as mayor of Los Angeles.
Gaad sums it up nicely;

When the extreme left becomes the centre, the right can only be extreme.

Flash, the magpie delinquent youth has taken these last two day to attacking my big toes.
He has on three seperate occasions delivered sudden, unprovoked and devastating pecks. Acting surprised and miffed and “What’s all the fuss about, man”, at my pain filled howl.
His other trick on his fellow gangsters is to pick an intriguing piece of foliage or litter, pick it up, fall over and pretend to be dead, sometimes with legs splayed dramatically skyward, and then when the other fellow approaches out of natural bird curiosity, wait until the victim is close enough and then bite him on the leg.
He tried this trick on the table with the bird bath on it, but he rolled too near the edge and fell off the table, landing on his back like an avian dork.
We all laughed at him and made fun of his stupidity. Stupid seagull.

If an organisation is “government funded”, how can it be an NGO?
He who pays the piper, in this case may be calling the tune.
It doesn’t report to a minister and is therefore independent. The US EPA pay for NGOs to sue them so that they can “settle” and have a judge make a new regulation which El Presidente or Congress can’t overturn.

Permanent (high security) water rights.
The state should have a strategic buy-back plan in place.
And they should look to develop a policy that reduces the value of those water rights (more dams, better collection & storage).
It’s not hard.
It’s totally wrong. Like our gas. Enough water/gas should be sequestered to meet all CA/Oz needs at a reasonable cost, before the sale of the commodity in private transaction.
Yes, and it dates back to the late 40’s.
So now California has to unwind it.
Any energy permits granted by Australia or its states should include 10-20% for domestic usage.
As long as it isn’t NSW and Vic demanding Qld gas. Qld doesn’t actually need domestic reservation.
Gas? How about NSW and Vic develop their own gas fields before demanding that Qld companies break their export contracts made after years and years of development, approvals and lawfare, just to give Qld gas to them.
I’m all for developing state gas. But the sequestering should still apply to ALL gas exporters of any state so that the whole country has MUCH cheaper energy. All Australians benefit from lower energy.
Why TF should Victorians pay for the Bruce Highway? Or Qld cyclone reparations? Same deal.
Who aid anything about give? Don’t you understand this? “at a reasonable cost”.
Qld taxpayers contributed to the Hume on both sides of the border, and the 20-30 billion spent on Pacific Highway upgrades . I also think we contributed something in bushfire relief as well.
I’m surprised the NEM has lasted this long. I guess it’s an overlay of a largely private sector oligopoly anyway. Only really Qld and Snowy Hydro as govt players left.
Totally agree. I love in NSW, and we have massive gas reserves.

I thought it was hilarious when these douche nozzles thought they would be heroes in the jug – instead they copped the odd beating for bringing shame on the Lebanese community.
A very gutsy young lady named Tegan Wagner was the victim of one of these gangs. She wrote a book about her ordeal – she said the most enlightening aspect of the whole ordeal was the attitude of the sisters of these scumbags – “They must have been very loose. They came to our house unchaperoned, they were not covered, and they drank alcohol.”

Watched an interesting short video on twitter, African American guy who said the odds of 3 lesbians being appointed to those positions was 64,000 to 1, in other words for all three to be there was double down DEI and that prioritising DEI takes millions away (just look at the salary for starters!) from fire fighting efficacy.
And so it came to pass.

I wonder why they fuzzed out his hand?
But with that beard you’d think he’d be instantly identifiable from the ASIO database.
Could it be because they know who it is but don’t want anyone else to announce it until they are ready by which I mean that he has fled overseas and safely beyond their reach. That would allow Webb to pretend she is annoyed: Rats, he gave us the slip.
That image is clear enough to match against the drivers licences photos.

Any author, journalist or dramatist with the slightest amount of flair, talent for story, and knowledge of history could have done something great with the Carter funeral.
All the major players in American political history of the last fifty years aside from Reagan were represented.
And they performed! They acted out in front of the cameras all the personal grudges and conflicts underlying it all.
Better than anything script writers or actors could have portrayed with the tightest of editing.
Obama displaying his charisma, directed fully at Trump like a blowtorch. Trump responding by showing, although he must know that Obama has been and continues to be the power behind so much of the dirty works against him, that he, Trump, knows it is politics, it’s a dirty, deadly game, not personal, and thus still able to laugh and show his charisma.
Pence and his dismal wife, in contrast, showing what amateurs look like.
The Clintons, ghosts of machiavellians past. Bill, the most capable orator of his time, his evil bitch of a wife, fortunately stymied in her ambitions by Trump.
George Bush, full of his resentment and pettiness towards Trump, while showing himself a sucker for the Obama schtick. A buffoon, a fool, a low, rat cunning operator. The product of a corrupt dynasty. Overbrimming with resentment at Trump reforming the Republicans, of his breaking the cosy uni party arrangements. Bypassing and defeating the new world order and neo con apparatchiks, two sides of the same coin.
The greatest shame is that America no longer has the pensmen capable of doing the occasion and the circumstances service on the eve of the final Trump presidency.
Donald Trump has a task in front of him and no time to spare.
His first priority must be to install an intelligence head with miraculous capabilities and unswerving loyalty.
All the Obama machine operatives must be ferreted out.
The two faced and deceptive RINO leftovers, buried deep in countless and unexpected places have to be uncovered and booted.
But this time Trump knows the task and hopefully identifies the pitfalls.
Trump has obtained an unprecedented second chance at shaping history.
Absolutely outstanding Arky. Take a bow.

There is no external evaluation of service providers and clients. All service provision should be subject to quarterly reviews and tender competition. The test of any support program should be the rate at which people move from the support to independent living, or reduced support. The NDIS does the exact opposite. It induces learned helplessness. Once on, forever on.
Two of my neighbours in a shared home get $300,000 between them from NDIS. That’s ontop of rent and utilities assistance.
Neighbour’s brother gets $260k per annum.
The family has just applied to increase it to $300k because they struggle with the current allowance.

Karen Pence is a fish wife.
She’s a Karen 🙂
Gore has every reason to toady towards Trump when you think of the amount of world financing that could have been put to such better purposes but which was wasted due to his hideous and wrong movie – An Inconvenient Truth. Gore is responsible for so much ongoing climate panic. He may now be considering his options vs total exposure as a fraud and being sued.

Foreign Minister Penny Wong will represent the nation at US president-elect Donald Trump’s upcoming inauguration in Washington, with Anthony Albanese’s closest confidant to use the visit to expand co-operation with Mr Trump’s second administration on economics and security.
After concerns the Albanese government has not moved as fast as other allied countries like Britain, France and Italy to forge a relationship with Mr Trump, Senator Wong will go to the president-elect’s swearing in on January 21 with Australian ambassador to the US Kevin Rudd.
One can only imagine the comments the US leaders will be making in private.

Interesting theory on Trump and Greenland.
On this week’s All In podcast, Chamath, billionaire, former DNC donor, current Trump donor & fundraiser, made the following comments (paraphrasing).
If Trump said something along the lines of, if the Arctic is melting, and if shipping can traverse the region for longer periods during the year, we need to ensure Russia and China don’t control the space and we really need to look at our capabilities in the area, it wouldn’t have gotten much traction.
Trump says let’s takeover Greenland and everyone’s talking about it.
Considering Sacks (taking a break from the podcast) is part of the new administration you can guess there’s a straight line from him to Chamath.
Anyway, not a terrible theory.

I see Dutton labelled Albanese, (the worst PM Australia has ever had), “weak”. He needs to call him this every time he talks about his failed policies and promises.
I retweeted this a few days ago:
So he’s on point.
I watched a clip on the icebreakers, wow.
The ice is not melting and Russians do not believe in climate fairies, as I quoted from Lavrov last week. He was unusually frank and explicit.
Indeed, when the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation turns down the ice will be expanding not melting.
On the other hand they are certainly happy to string the Americans along while they build up their nuclear icebreaker fleet…while fooling the Yanks to think they don’t need any.
I don’t understand why the Republicans don’t have a thousand bills ready for Trump to sign on day one.
It must mean that these dickheads are relying on the permanent state, via departments to write the legislation.
Republicans are the most lazy, two faced and clueless collective of f*ckwads in history.

Trump To Sign Around 100 Executive Orders Upon Taking Office (12 Jan)
Hopefully the RINOs get scared of being primaried, which they will be. But the real problem is who is paying them baksheesh.
It’s shaping up to be the same game plan that smiling serpentine waste of skin Paul Ryan oversaw:
One. Look like you are making nice with Trump and working towards his goals.
Two. Have your allies within the Trump camp make a series of “friendly guiding suggestions” to help the newbie and explain how things are done.
Three. Have a few “renegades” block everything.
Four. Lose the midterms with a big, shit-eating smile of relief.
Five. Bask in the glow of support from the anti Trump media as you let them know with a wink and a nod what a hero you are for derailing orange Hitler.
Six. Complete the entire enterprise by turning a blind eye to the RICO level of corruption aimed at Trump from the Democrat camp. Pretend you might “do” something about it, but never get anywhere. “Oh well, we tried”, you smile lamely.

What strategic advantage could Russia have over the US, if the Americans decided to play hard around the arctic circle? Russia’s economy is tiny in comparison and the only thing it has is a large cache of nuclear weapons, otherwise it has as much economic clout as Italy in terms of the size of its economy.
Your desire to make Russia sound like a leading global power is funny, and citing Russian propaganda bots is funnier still

Coulda been stronger maybe
I’m hoping Peter Dutton isn’t another Malcolm Fraser. Elected with a majority in both Houses, given a clear mandate to clean up the shambles that Albo has left behind, and too afraid about what the howler monkeys at the Sydney Moaning Hemorrhoid will say, to actually DO anything.
Chances of Dutton with a majority in both houses would be approximately nil.

Of course, the DEI crowd are now bleating that no-one really got a leg-up through DEI.
Supposedly DEI just got disadvantaged minorities to the start line and, once they got an interview, their natural brilliance came to the fore.
No, really.
And apparently it wasn’t about quotas at all … except nearly every large bureaucracy and private company had targets which far exceeded the percentage of each particular minority being targeted.
Why not simply have blind short-listing processes where a person’s attributes and preferences were masked?
Wouldn’t that get deserving minorities to the interview stage?

What’s instructive is you can’t seem to read anything that doesn’t spout pro-US slop without referencing propaganda and bots. The RWA tweet doesn’t even present Russia as a leading global power but as a nation with an edge in the Arctic that the US could potentially match by taking Greenland. You should try and spend less time psychologizing.
Lavrov just told the Trump team their ceasefire proposal was DOA. Why would that be? 😉
I’m hopping mad. Just watched the NT Police chief Nobbs telling me that “four beloved people” died in the car accident that killed Chris Coffee.
The other three were three aboriginal zombies who stole a car from a mine site and hooned their way into Coffee’s Prado. His passenger is still in ICU.
If they were so “beloved”, why were they criminals?
It’s about time their communities took responsibility for their actions. Be proper, decent parents for a start. Anyone can do that no matter how poor, how remote.
Chris was a devout Christian, serving the very people who killed him.
Didn’t the late Bill Leak produce a very savage caricature, on parenting in outback communities?
Savage = accurate.
People who commit a crime and someone dies should be charged with murder.
Used to be the case, GR
The “ felony murder” rule – anyone killed as a result of a serious crime – even if the death was not at the hand of the criminal resulted in the criminal being charged with the murder on the basis that the death was the result of their actions.

Along with the propaganda bots, I forgot to mention Russia Today—a perfect morning read with coffee to truly discover what’s happening in the world. I only respond to the biased drivel you come up with from those propanganda bots you post, so it’s not exactly me posting worthless, delusional slop.
That was my point. Pukin doesn’t have a hope in hell in matching the US, if the US decides to go hard arctic.

Feel free to respond to the question instead of telling us what we knew.
Russia has a growing fleet of around 40 icebreakers and ice-capable ships, including the unique Project 23550 class specifically designed for combat and breaking through ice up to 5.5 feet thick.
https://asiatimes.com/2024/07/russias-new-combat-icebreaker-built-for-arctic-dominance/
The US alone has only two aging diesel icebreakers in the Arctic compared to Russia’s “seven nuclear-powered icebreakers and around 30 diesel-powered ones,” with more being built. Collectively, NATO trails Russia and China in icebreakers. Adding to the imbalance, Russia has launched a new class of combat icebreakers with high-speed guns and launchers for anti-ship and land-attack cruise missiles. These risks, coupled with the US Coast Guard’s new Polar Security Cutter program being years behind schedule and billions of dollars over budget, underlie the logic of the ICE Pact.

The weight of the economy is behind the US. An economy at US$27 trillion GDP, vs Russia, at around US$2 trillion and will be smaller after the end of the war. If the US wants ice break breakers it will get as many as it wants, so stop frightening yourself.

Government-funded anti-semitism (the Tele):
Yep, or more accurately ‘taxpayer funded’ Jew hatred. What a great country this is now. Governments pull funding from Quadrant magazine (pulled under a Coalition government) but they fund open unapologetic Jew hatred.
Until state and federal governments pull the dosh from these organisations absolutely nothing will change and they will continue to give us the middle finger. It’s particularly bad in the UK, Canada and here in Oz.
I regularly watch Andrew Gold’s Youtube channel called ‘Heretics’ (I highly recommend it). A few months Gold spoke at length to journalist Charlotte Gill who has a Substack blog called ‘Woke Waste‘. Her blog is worth reading and whilst it’s UK centric, similar taxpayer funding of woke waste is happening here in this country too. Gill forensically analyses and dissects the hundreds of UK departments, corporations, arts organisations, Quangos, NGOs and so on, all of which receive UK government funding (along with other nefarious funding) and spruik and preach woke wank, be it on climate change, transperversion, Palestine and so on. Gill’s premise is brutally simple which is that ‘unsuspecting taxpayers are funding their own demise‘.
As Gill says.
When George Soros funds the UK it’s “philanthropy”. But for Elon Musk it’s “foreign interference”.
Funny that.
Closer to home, the Seymour Centre, where the calls for genocide against Jews were made in front of an audience comprised of ordinary Australian families (some of which were Jews), is situated less than a kilometre from Newtown Synagogue where yesterday morning some adherents of the death cult called Islam (and I reckon we can assume it was not Hindus or Taoists who turned up at the synagogue at 4.22 am) to graffiti and use accelerant to try and burn down the Shul. I think the attacks on suburbs where lots of Jews live and synagogues are increasing because of enablist scum like those who mouthed the Jew hatred at the Seymour Centre.
By the way, the Seymour Centre ‘Air Time show‘ bills itself as a ‘circus’. Stardust Circus, a real circus, is currently performing at Lyne Park down at Rose Bay. I bet Stardust Circus doesn’t receive any government funding and I bet Stardust isn’t part of any trendy ‘Sydney Festival’. Here’s a thought, perhaps people should buy tickets to Stardust Circus and take their families along to watch that show. I suspect that at Stardust Circus you won’t be on the receiving end of a pro-Palestine diatribe, instead you’ll just be entertained and have some fun.

The Trump camp makes a grand announcement about taking over Greenland.
When he announces a “fall-back” position, which might be a couple of military bases and some priority access for mineral and oil and gas exploration (in co-operation with the Danes), it will sound eminently reasonable.
He’s been doing this most of his life, and people still treat him as a dill.
The Left doesn’t seem capable of working him out.
It was an old union negotiating tactic: ask for the world and settle for 3% and a few tweaks to conditions, and everyone will say how reasonable you are.

I told you the proposal would go no where. Now you are arguing that they were just an opening gambit and that Trump’s team will negotiate on a specific points but without exactly specifying which points and to what we extent which indicates bluff and bluster.
What can NATO forces sans the US actually do? Many of the European members have donated to the Ukraine a substantial inventory of their fighters, artillery, tanks, and the like. They’d be done in a few months at best.
First it was just an opener now it’s the best offer.

Like a jig saw puzzle piecing all the received bits of it together into something comprehensible. Then you just give up, and don’t try to do that anymore, or you’d go crazy.
I think the late Dean Jones once remarked, “India is a place that as soon as you arrive, you want to leave but a soon as you leave, you want to go back.”

I think they must employ 20-something lefty moderators.

I told them to stuff their subscription and made it absolutely clear it was because of the comments moderation. I admit some days it was ok but then you could tell when they changed. I knew their rules and abided by them. But the rejections got on my wick. I complained to the editor who reinstated the comment but days later.
haven’t missed it nor that righteous far left prig Troy bramston.
Uncharitable thoughts can be perfectly appropriate.

Dover, you mentioned earlier the concerning detail about how Russia inherited all these Arctic bases from the now-defunct Soviet Union, knowing the skill and know-how the Soviets put into their projects. We’re nearing 35 years since the disintegration of that communist shitehole. Has Russia made any rudimentary renovations to these bases, or are they still in their original state of disrepair? Do you know?

These people getting wound up about Trump’s posturing on Greenland, among other things.
Have they never been involved in any form of serious negotiation?
All manner of tactics are used to unsettle the other side and gain an advantage … threats, cajoling, silence, promises of future advantage … whatever.
Trump is the master of the outrageous ambit claim and it has a dual purpose:-
1. From a pure negotiation standpoint, when he achieves his true objective (which might be only a small element of the original ambit) it looks like he has had to back down, and he leaves the other side with something to hang their hat on (they beat Trump down).
2. Politically, it draws attention to the issue which would otherwise be glossed over. He did this with “Build the wall, and make Mexico pay for it”. Had he couched this in terms of a bland policy announcement that he “would improve Southern border security” the issue would have come and gone in five minutes. Instead it consumed media coverage for weeks.
Ken oath. Very astute that Thiel chap it would seem. Also yourself Pancho.
It’s feeling like a blessing in disguise Trump losing/being cheated in the 2020 election. Four more years of insanity for the unwashed to start waking up, and four years for Trump to sharpen his tools and apply learnings from his first gig.
A Dutton Coalition Government will:
I can hear the “Big men” screaming, already!
But you’re likely to read it and if you don’t, the trolls you rely on certainly do.
It’s a negotiation, for the lord’s sake. Of course the opening gambit is a no-show. In any event, if Pukin tries to play real hardball, he’s going to lose out. In your delusional state of mind about this—because it’s all you ever talk about—you think Pukin has all the cards and the U.S. is on the back foot. Meanwhile, Russia has about a million dead and wounded, a population growing mightily tired of a war that’s going nowhere, and an economy f*cked for the next 20 years. 30% interest rates! Pukin is also in a bind and has to stop this war before he, too, “accidentally” falls out of a high-story balcony. He can’t lose face, or he’s dead meat. Something will be worked out.
Both you and your bots have been saying the war would end with a mighty Russian military victory as soon as it started. Your bots were claiming the “special operation” would last a couple of weeks at most—basically parroting what the golden-haired child in the Kremlin was saying. It’s three years in, and you’re still repeating the same bullshit. But the reality is, it’s a stalemate. If the Kremlin kid decides to play hardball, he may end up with NATO troops on his doorstep, ready to push them back to the ’90s borders. You should be hoping your guy plays nice. Seriously, it’s like you playing poker with a pair of twos trying to overplay someone with a full house. The Kremlin Kid is also in a bind.
You got so emotionally invested in the Kremlin kid.

If by dry dock you mean the Arctic Ocean, sure.
The Russians didn’t neglect their inheritance like the Ukes.
You’ve now moved to admitting the Russians are streets ahead but a consortium led by the US can catch up!
BOM today had forecast of storms and rain for Northern Vic. Nice little storm cloud icons, tomorrow too allegedly.
Amount of rain north of the divide, most places zero despite a lovely colourful radar signature. They weren’t even dry storms so am unsure what the radar was showing.
High Country copped it due to mountains and south of the divide.
Dutton or minister needs to clean the BOM out, it’s a joke. I glean more from looking at the sky these days or websites like Brisbane Storm Chasers forecast maps if it gets complex.
(18) Is the Navy’s $13 Billion Aircraft Carrier Obsolete? – YouTube
Interesting question. It’s clear from Israeli experience that top line anti-missile defenses are nearly total right now. And anti-drone too, although the main issue with them is the cost of the defense systems.
I can foresee that when laser drone defenses are fully developed, which will be very soon, those carriers will be equipped with them.
Even for vaunted hypersonic missiles both THAAD and Arrow 3 seem to be able to eat them for breakfast, going on the Houthi hypersonic missile attacks. (A hypersonic missile is just a ballistic missile with better heat ablation, since they naturally go at hypersonic velocity anyway.)
In summary then: while the USN carriers are big fat slow targets their defensive systems, including their escorts, are nearly impervious. And they provide mobile bases for all sorts of new weapon systems, built around robot wingmen and drone swarms.
So I don’t know if they’re ever going to be obsolete. Indeed they seem to be getting even more well defended as technology advances.
The title is clickbait. I don’t why some people think the USA is falling behind in technology. That latest show off by the Chinese stands in contrast to the USA flying NGAD prototypes two years ago and there are rumours the SR 72 is ready for production. The new carrier class has a huge energy production increase allowing much high sortie rates, better electronic warfare capability, and energy weapon utilization.
I’m not worried about the drone issue. There is already one defensive weapon being produced for that and CIWSs will also be effective.
For propaganda watch Combat Approved on YT.
Oh, I’m moved alright. Moved by your delusions and Pukin love. That’s actually pretty moving in itself.
NATO has about 20 icebreakers in its stock. Considering the state of Russia’s upkeep of naval assets, that’s likely double what Russia has at any given time.
Russia is hamstrung by its lack of warm water ports without significant impediments. In fact, it has only two “warm-ish” water ports that aren’t restricted—like relying on Turkey to allow access through the straits, for example.
Russia’s interest in the Arctic stems from its very limited options. Even there, it’s going to face competition once the boss is back in the Oval Office.

“Would indigenous women and children feel safe if Constitutional recognition, or even a Treaty, eventuated in Australia? The answer must be a resounding “NO.” The deaths of Aboriginal women, from family violence, comprise the most frequent form of homicide in Australia today.”

Oh, so Ukraine in NATO and frozen conflict was always a no-show, so what exactly is this middle position that Putin must accept or he loses out?
It’s amusing how you and they move from 3-days to two weeks because it is precisely an invention of Western propagandists. But leaving that nonsense aside, there is no stalemate, there is continued movement in a single direction across the south and in the east as the situation becomes more desperate for Ukraine. These are just facts.
Thanks for admitting in a roundabout way that the US needs to incl. the icebreakers of its vassals in order to have a fleet half the size of the US.
Oh, so you answer for the Trolls now, do you?
If the Kremlin kid doesn’t play reasonably, the US under Trump isn’t going to run out of town like Biden did in Afghanistan. Why ask me what the final deal will be, if there is one? No one knows, and you certainly don’t, nor do the trolls you read on X. As I said, we’ll see.
Stop the gas lighting as I’ve never once mentioned 3 days. It’s more like you being deluded by the Russian propaganda bots.
Several high-ranking Russian officials and military leaders made statements or implied that the invasion of Ukraine would be a quick operation, often mentioning a timeframe of a few weeks.
Yep, they all predicted a three year long “special operation”, right? Let’s recall the 40 mile traffic jam. LOL
It’s barely budged since the beginning. But hey, why would anyone listen to your prediction seeing that in the past 3 years you, along with the propaganda bots have been saying it would end soon.
“Men had the power of life and death over their wives. Young girls were forced into marriage with older men.The only way to punish was by killing the law breakers.

What an inane comment. Trump has now begun to see the potential threat posed up north, which is what the discussion has been about, and you’re now claiming victory for a discussion that never occurred.
There was no discussion about the US having more icebreakers than your guy as the US has never focused much in the arctic. We knew that. The point is where would this end up if the US really began to focus on the region. An economy the size of the US is not going to be too worried about the soon to be smaller Russian economy than it currently is, no matter how much you and your bots cheer for the Kremlin kid.

The rhetorical phony accuses others of rhetorical posturing? Oh my. It’s like trans looks in the mirror, hates what he sees and accuses anybody else of what is staring back at him. Wanker doesn’t come close to describing this wannabe poser.
I can answer it because their posts rarely if at all mention RT. Most of those I quote live in the US or Europe and use mostly Western sources.
So you have no idea what a middle position might involve but Putin better agree or else. Convincing.
‘Implied’ and ‘quick’ doing a lot of work there.
They took most of Kherson, most of Zaporozhye, and now nearly all of Donetsk, all of Luhansk, and are now again advancing in Kharkov, while all the rebels held in the Feb ’22 was a part of Donetsk. But, sure, hasn’t moved and isn’t moving now.
It’s not inane at all. You’ve moved from ‘Russia can’t afford the front end of an icebreaker’, then to but ‘their icebreakers are scared to get off the dry dock’, then to ‘the US is preparing a consortium to catch up to the Russians so there’. I simply encapsulated your refusal to concede again and again your errors in a simply sentence. The Russians have an active fleet that dwarfs the US’s current icebreaker fleet. The Russians are expanding their fleet, launching another icebreaker two months ago. These are just facts you need to deal with. Wishing them away doesn’t change them.
Seriously, you don’t even make sense anymore. You’re just making stuff up as you go along. Why would your bots admit to lifting views from Russia Today? Secondly, you spend most of your time dissing ‘western sources,’ yet you’re suggesting the bots are sourcing from western sources, and it’s these bots you find credible. Bot who source from western sources you’re always dissing as made up propaganda. FMD.
“So”? I’ve never even come close to suggesting what or if there’s a middle ground. In fact, if there’s no negotiated position, I’ve said Trump will not walk away.
I have as much knowledge of a final agreement as you do, which is none—only speculation.
Your dodges are getting stale. If you don’t believe what those clowns said (your guys), present what they did say then. Your continual Doubting Thomas routine doesn’t work anymore. It’s way overworked.
Stop with the gaslighting bullshit. I didn’t say it hasn’t moved; I said it’s hardly moved. If you take into account what your guys said in the beginning—that it was basically a cakewalk—a reasonable person would consider it a stalemate since the first inroad in the first six months of the war.
And, it’s actually a wash since then.
Russia has taken around 1,600 square miles, while Ukraine has taken around 400 square miles of Russian territory. Ukraine took that in a week, in a special operation. 🙂

All that is true, or true enough., Russia has a deplorable record with naval vessel reliability, so to believe their icebreakers are in tip top shape is basically propaganda.
There is a consortium and there are NATO assets all of which is true.
The US is just noe beginning to understand the potential threat and it looks like Trump will deal with it.
There are no errors, but just reasoned attempts to deal with your delusions on the state of the Russian situation.
The Russians have no money to be expanding any fleet. They have no fcking money to be expanding anything of note. They can’t afford the cost.
Two-bit poser.
JC, everybody here is a Russian asset
even though you’re the only person who knows how things really work
you can’t win
time for a duel?
I have no idea what you’re trying to convey Trans and neither do you. But, I wouldn’t for a moment think you’re a Russian asset. More of a liability than an asset when it comes to you, you appalling poser.
try not to spazz out all night JC
Stop the heavy drinking and go back on the meds your doc prescribed, you sad poser.
Cash!
