No pardon? No problem. Turn state’s evidence and MAYBE you might be offered some clemency. The better testimony you provide, the better deal you might receive……………… I wouldn’t wait too long to volunteer though…

And in the cold, gloomy and wintry land known as England, where alas there is no Prince Arthur sleeping who can awaken from his slumber and come to the rescue of this once great nation, the Welsh choir boy who went on a murder spree in Southport, stabbing to death three little girls, injuring several other children and a teacher was, prior to his murder spree, known to the authorities all along. Prior to his murder spree of little girls attending a Taylor Swift party, Welsh choir boy, Axel Rudakubana, was referred to anti-terrorist government organisation Prevent three times for being a serious threat with known terrorist motivations.

Perhaps ‘Prevent” should now be named ‘Enable’ because that’s what it does, it doesn’t prevent Islamic terrorism, it enables Islamic terrorism.

Vale England.

Another firebombing.

Hate speech graffitied on Maroubra childcare wall and building set alight in another antisemitic attack in Sydney’s east (Sky News, 21 Jan)

A childcare has been firebombed in another antisemitic attack in Sydney’s east, despite police throwing extra resources at fighting crime against the Jewish community.

Emergency services were called to Storey Street in Maroubra to reports of a building fire about 1am on Tuesday, with firefighters extinguishing the blaze quickly.

However, the childcare sustained significant damage.

Police discovered antisemitic messages spray painted on a wall outside.

NSW plod don’t seem to be having much luck finding these people, even after that hooded chappie was spotted with a heroic beard.

The downfall was when Clement Attlee was elected PM in 1945. Everything Labour or Labor touches they f**k. Why upon why do people keep voting for failure. This morning watching the inauguration left me feeling hollow. If The Donald gets half the the things done that he wants we have a chance but the scum are so far embedded it will take years to remove their influence. In mean time we have the aussie biden in Luigi the Unflushable, so useless and as someone called him, snivel. My wife saw him last night on sky and said, “look at him snivel”, and she doesn’t follow politics, but is now paying a little more attention.

The correlation between the election of the Attlee communists and Starmer’s stalinists is striking.

Both fell into office as a result of the people being fed up with the incumbents.

Both falsly believed that they had a mandate and immediately commenced to impose ideologicaly alien policies that failed but some of which, notably the NHS, continue to create chaos.

Bill Slim claimed that the reason why service personnel almost universily voted against Churchill was because of the outrageous manner in which they were treated by Churchill’s elites. The same could be said for the Tories and the lower middle classes.

This Jan 6th committee blanket pardon is fascinating.

Ie, how many people can claim to be covered.
It’s for “members & staff” of the committee.

Members:
The panelโ€™s members included Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., who was then a House member; former Reps. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., Elaine Luria, D-Va., and Stephanie Murphy, D-Fla.; and current Reps.

Albaneseโ€™s exciting $2 billion Green Aluminium Production Credit scheme has been well received in the usual quarters. “Crucial support”, apparently.

But oddly the Government has provided absolutely no details of how the scheme is actually going to operate โ€“ other than $2 billion will be allocated over 10 years, on some unknown basis, per tonne of primary aluminium made with renewable electricity.

Equally oddly, there doesn’t seem to be any media or political eyebrows raised about this huge number being casually dropped on the election table without any supporting information.

So, letโ€™s extract some.

Firstly, the Green Aluminium Production Credit scheme is a response to the industry threatening to shut down in Australia because of the massive cost burden of renewable electricity and the unwillingness of renewable players to come to the table with abundant, โ€˜too cheap to meterโ€™ power for a solid baseload customer.

In 2017 Tomago smelter had a near death experience when it was curtailed for 4 hours due to a shortage of electricity in NSW (aluminium smelters without electricity freeze, and thatโ€™s it). As a result the company (and the industry as a whole) spent years trying to position itself as a prime customer to attract the hoards of renewables investors apparently itching to deliver cheap and abundant power โ€“ with Tomago promising Net Zero by 2035. 

To no avail. The Renewables Robber Barons are not interested; cheap power is for other people, renewables entrepreneurs are only interested in maximising returns by trading on the bleeding edge of the NEM, where power is most profitably expensive.

In July 2024, enter a new CEO at Tomago, who promptly declared that the Australian aluminium industry couldnโ€™t survive on renewable electricity because the average power price is more than twice that enjoyed by the international competition โ€“ and getting worse. Mining giant Rio (who has interests in 3 of the 4 Australian smelters) joined in with calls for government support.

The result: a panicked $2 billion subsidy to prop up Albaneseโ€™s tottering Made in Australia and Net Zero policies and deflect the problem during the election.

Itโ€™s a big number but, despite the lack of detail, how far can $2 billion go spread across 10 years?

Firstly, remember the old maxim that โ€˜aluminium is solid electricityโ€™. It takes about 140MWhr of electricity to produce one tonne of primary aluminium (โ€œprimary aluminiumโ€ is produced from bauxite ore, as opposed to recycled scrap metal).

Australia produces about 1.5 million tonnes of aluminium per annum โ€“ so around 15 million tonnes over 10 years.

Assuming that everyone plays and that $2 billion is spread evenly over 10 years from 2028 when the scheme kicks in, this subsidy equates to around $133 per tonne ($2 bn divided by 15 million) โ€“ or about 95 cents/MWhr of input electricity. 

Assuming the $2 billion is spread over, say a measly 10% of total aluminium produced with renewable electricity, this expands to a subsidy of $9.50/MWhr.

With average east coast NEM power prices now running between $140 and $210 per MWhr (currently heavily subsidised by coal baseload) there is something terribly wrong if $9.50 makes even a token renewable push viable. Particularly given that Australiaโ€™s aluminium competitors are working with electricity prices in the $50 to $80/MWhr range (actually way less in China).

I could easily be wrong, but without details, it’s hard to see this as a roadmap to the Sunny Uplands of Made in Australia.

But no doubt Top Men have thought all this through.

Well put. Be mindful that Renewables get lots of subsidies, but they also get regulatory benefits. While AEMO say they are “semi despatchable” that is crap especially for wind. Retailers are also forced to purchase increasing amounts of renewables each year or be fined. Interesting they are sometimes better off being fined. That said the bid prices for electricilty fall below zero, quite a bit. This doesnt harm Coal or gas who sell hedges, but it does harm unhedged renewables.

Indeed.

?Sub-zero pricing is usually triggered by high levels of off-peak rooftop generation. The same periodic oversupply phenomenon which is now restricting the rollout of large scale renewables.

The Robber Barons donโ€™t want price competition – or to invest in storage while dispatchable baseload still exists.

Itโ€™s all a bit sloppy.

Depending on how you shelled out and how much renewable smelting that attracted, $30 billion over 10 years to 15 million tonnes of โ€˜Green Aluminiumโ€™ could mean a subsidy of as little as $15/MWhr.

To a horrid cynic, Itโ€™s quite conceivable that this is why thereโ€™s no detail provided.

In any event, itโ€™s all waaay over the budget horizon. So, with a dozy opposition and complacent media, they can say whatever they want.

Premier Roger Cook promises to address youth crime in Geraldton by targeting repeat offenders under 10Jessica MoroneyGeraldton Guardian
Tue, 21 January 2025 2:00AM

Offenders between the ages of five and nine who currently slip through the cracks of the justice system will be targeted in a trial program under a re-elected Labor Government.
While in Geraldton on Friday, Premier Roger Cook and Police Minister Paul Papalia promised to invest almost $8 million into this initiative if they are voted back into government.
The Premier and Minister were in town to announce a number of election commitments, including releasing WA Laborโ€™s Vision for Geraldton, which pledges to boost housing supply, provide cost of living relief, and invest in healthcare.
If re-elected, a Labor Government will also launch a pilot program in Geraldton and Perth that will target vulnerable children under the age of 10 who are often caught up in crime but are below the age of criminal responsibility, therefore let go by police into the community without punishment.
The $7.8 million On Track to Thrive program will be trialled, with the departments of Justice, Communities, Education and Health working together to steer children onto the right path by providing intervention and programs where there are currently none.
Mr Papalia said Geraldton would be the focus of the pilot program, ensuring youth who were met regularly with police were not left to their own devices.
โ€œAgencies will be engaging with support providers to bring together a comprehensive response and do something about the five to nine-year-olds who currently offend, are picked up by police, and at the moment, receive no intervention,โ€ he said.
The State Government will invest another $2.1 million to bring the Youth Engagement Program, operated by the Aboriginal Legal Service of WA, to Geraldton, providing culturally secure bail support services for youth between the age of 10 and 17.

The day care centre is located 200 metres from Maroubra synagogue which also has a day care centre. I believe the attack is deliberate, they wanted to target the synagogue but they picked the wrong site.

I see both the Slug and the Pretty Boy have turned up for a photo op this morning.

Meanwhile, the Ed the Islamist has said this morning….

Industry Minister Ed Husic, the nationโ€™s most senior Muslim minister, said the anti-Semitic attack was โ€œsuch a low-life actโ€.

Mr Husic said it was โ€œreally importantโ€ to tackle anti-Semitism as well as to see a โ€œdrop in Islamophobiaโ€.

Some questions for Ed the Islamist….

Pray, tell me where suburbs with large number of Muslims living in them have been targeted with Islamophobia graffiti such as “kill Muslims’?

Pray, tell me where a mosque has been torched and graffitied, like Ripponlea, like the attempted torching of Newtown Shul?

Pray, tell me where numerous cars in suburbs where lots of Muslims live have been torched?

Pray, tell me where and when a Jewish rabbi has compared Muslims to ‘apes” and told his/her congregants to go ‘find and kill Muslims”.

Pray, tell me Ed the Islamist, where this so called ‘Islamophobia” is?

That’s right, Ed the Islamist, the Slug and Pretty Boy are gaslighting and lying.

It is these political machines that are to blame.
The need by politicians at all levels for stupendous amounts of cash in order to obtain offices which return salaries in no way worth the outlay. Of course there is a parallel stream of cash with many beaks taking a share.

When the donors interests largely align with the citizens interests, the political machines can roll on serving a greater purpose.
In a globalised world where the donors interests lie largely elsewhere, something external has to disrupt the political machines.
That thing, imperfect, was Trump.
Deglobalisation is the cure to the misalignment of the political machines with citizens interests.

There is no shadow of turning with thee.

Barron was the teenage polling genius who told dad which millenial podcasters to talk to get the youth vote — which Trump won by 36 percentage points.

Why arenโ€™t these arrests attracting more news coverage?

Yes – I wasnโ€™t aware of them. Minns et al are between a rock and a hard place – they are becoming very aware (thanks to the unflinching coverage by The Australian) of the rising tide of anger re the anti-Semitic terrorist attacks. But they are also, despicably, anxious not to lose the Pallie voters to prospective homegrown Pallie candidates at the next election.

There have been a number of machinations and ground-shifting concerning relevant laws that cover the vile acts (including the year long weekly Pallie demos) that have been only fleetingly referred to in the press.

Both federal and state governments have been dragged, and shamed, into a response to the anti-Semitism that has been growing for over a year. It wonโ€™t save Labor at the next federal election, and I suspect that the shine has long gone off Minns. probably also in Victoria – but then, that state seems impervious to sane policy.

In the aftermath of the shocking attack this morning on the Maroubra day care centre centre, to all Cats here in Sydney, if you’re up to it, please come. This has been called at the last minute, it is for both Jews and non-Jews, a ‘call to action‘ this evening, at 6.00 p.m. outside NSW Parliament House, at the top of Martin Place.

‘Since October 9th 2023, the Australian Jewish community have been experiencing an onslaught of anti-Semitism. From escalating rhetoric in workplaces, schools and community groups, to discrimination in the workplace, frequent threats, to isolated assault incidents and to now outright regular arson attacks on our community and neighbours.

Meanwhile the Australian federal government has not done enough and continues to ignore community members, the anti-Semitism envoy and other experts on anti-Semitism.

Late this afternoon, both Jewish and non-Jewish Australians will have a joint protest against the federal government outside NSW Parliament. We will….

not block roadsnot block the footpathnot make excessive noiseA conflict in the Middle East SHOULD NOT result in targeted arson, daily anti-Semitic graffiti and other attacks on the Jewish and surrounding communities which continue to escalate by the day.

Another slap in the face for Israel. Sky News:

Senate President Sue Lines, who has previously accused Israel of the โ€œcrime of apartheidโ€, will represent Australia at an event marking 80 years since the liberation of the Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz, Sky News can reveal.

A commemoration held next week in Poland will mark eight decades since the remaining 7,000 prisoners held at Auschwitz were freed, on January 27, 1945.

Sky News understands Sue Lines has been chosen to lead Australiaโ€™s delegation, which also includes the Special Envoy on Combatting Antisemitism Jillian Segal and Jewish-Australian community leaders. Australiaโ€™s representation at the historic commemoration is significantly less senior than other foreign dignitaries โ€“ including King Charles III and the Presidents of Italy and Germany.

In a speech to the senate in February 2022, before the last election, Senator Lines quoted an Amnesty International report in the senate, which โ€œconfirms that Israeli policies against Palestinians fit the definition of the international crime of apartheidโ€.

โ€œAmnesty International is calling on Israel to dismantle this cruel system, and the international community must pressure it to do so,โ€ she said at the time.

Itโ€™s understood the Department of Foreign Affairs extended an invitation to the Governor-General Sam Mostyn to attend, but she was not available.

Labor are real dickheads. But you knew that.

It won t happen, because the Eurofascists are too insulated by their 50 years of unchallenged power, but a sentinent Euro Commisson critter would have watched Trump’s inaugural in terror.

His projected determination, confidence and comfort with the exertion of power screamed that Merkel sneering, unjustified assumption of Euro superiority, and meaningless legal threats won’t cut it any longer.

The tired old EU elites need to be looking over their shoulders at the populist tidal wave that is overwhelming them.

But they wont. Their cultural beliefs will absolutely prevent them from accepting the need for change. They will revert to the tried and true Euro strategy of repression and will still be sneering as they circle the drain.

My Decade with Donald Trump

What I remember most is how Trump came alive on shop floors, speaking to steelworkers, truckers, and plumbers. He really listened to the kind of people who historically voted Democrat. It didnโ€™t surprise me when he got the GOP nomination for presidentโ€”beating people like Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz.
Then, on September 1, 2016, I decided to take a buyout from the paper where I had worked for 11 years, because I figured the next stage would be layoffs. I remember walking out of the building and thinking, Iโ€™m 57 years old, and thereโ€™s no job for me. Mine wasnโ€™t the only local paper that was shrinking. And then, a couple weeks later, I got a call from one of Trumpโ€™s campaign advisers, an old friend I knew from when we worked together for Senator Specter.
He said: โ€œDo you want an interview with Trump tomorrow?โ€
I couldnโ€™t believe my luck.

A legit pardon does not prevent prosecution, trial or conviction… it only prevents punishment:

Burdick v. United States, 236 US 79 (1915) at page 94 According to the citation above — amnesty or immunity prevents prosecution. Pardon only prevents “punishment”. So, even with an official “pardon”, all of those named can still be prosecuted and found guilty by a jury — spending their resources on defense all along the way.

Now that’s a different kettle of stinking fish, isn’t it?
They can still be arrested and tried, just not punished. So they can be bankrupted and tried.

Context:

Brits could be fined ยฃ1,000 for lighting log burners – full list of rules (17 Jan)

Brits are being cautioned that lighting their log burners could result in fines of up to ยฃ1,000 and even a criminal record due to stringent UK emission regulations. While staying warm is crucial, excessive emissions can have severe environmental impacts, and households may face substantial penalties for failing to comply with government rules.

“The rules are clear: only compliant stoves and appropriate materials should be used. Burning the wrong fuels or using damaged equipment, like stoves with cracked glass, can lead to dangerous emissions and hefty penalties. To avoid these issues, we encourage everyone to check their burners meet the required standards and switch to eco-friendly alternatives where possible.”

Not allowed to burn Gaia’s holy bones to keep warm. Freeze in the dark, peasants, and know your place.

All the J6ers were pardoned apart from a handful who had their sentences commuted.

Those who were commuted will have their cases reviewed to see if they will receive a pardon.

Within 24 hours every J6er will be out of jail.

You know, it would have been great if he could have found a few volunteers to go to trial, ordered their immediate release and funded their defence.
A big ask, but to have a couple of these cases heard in open court, including cross-examination of prosecution witnesses and informants, would have been illuminating.

She (Lara Trump) got hundreds of lawyers in every state to commit to free and fair election processes, according to their state procedures. A bit like Naderโ€™s Raiders back in the day. Trick is to keep it up every four years.

I think that played out in a very interesting way.
They could do it from the safety of their basements with mail-ins and late night drop offs in 2020.
Very low risk.
Fast forward to 2024.
Imagine you are told by your local fixer to drop off a box of ballots late at night.
But you are seeing reports of the Trump campaign nobbling attempted fixes everywhere.
The sting in the tail is you know your lot locked up “insurrectionists” without trial for four years.

Australia makes it into Taki’s for all the wrong reasons:

Tammi Gissell is an Australian dancer and museum worker who, to look at her, you would think was white. But, as with Ali G, appearances can sometimes be deceptive, and she identifies as being โ€œBlakโ€โ€”not simply โ€œblack,โ€ thatโ€™s something very different, apparently. Specifically, she is a Muruwari-Wiradjuri woman; or an Australian aborigine, to you or me. Sheโ€™s also very queer indeed.In 2023, in her capacity as the resident dancer and indigenous scholar in Australiaโ€™s Powerhouse Museum chain, Gissell was invited to join in a Powerhouse-sponsored forum called โ€œQueering Climate,โ€ whose participants mainly hailed from queer Polynesian/Micronesian/Melanesian-type backgrounds.

Here, the island daisy chains of the Pacific region were acclaimed as being inherently transgender somehow, Australasia as a whole supposedly being โ€œa fluid oceanic continentโ€ whose native non-white inhabitants had been sexually amphibious, as it were, until colonized and oppressed by wicked white European Christians, who had cruelly forced them to think of themselves as fictional beings called โ€œmenโ€ and โ€œwomen.โ€

โ€œWhat kind of weird, rainbow-obsessed solipsist honestly looks at diagrams of rivers and canals on a map and divines that one is hetero and one is homo?โ€
Contributors to the forum were full of strange statements about how โ€œall of the four genders worked in unisonโ€ across Australasia before the white man came, and Tammi Gissell herself emitted equally odd utterances like these:

The river is queer, it can flow this way or that, depending on its own needs. It doesnโ€™t need a nameless, faceless gatekeeper in a high tower doling out her currents. True flooding is natural. True flooding is queer. For to queer something is to simply take another course to where you need to be. Queering is a natural part of surviving in and on Country [i.e., in the natural, pre-colonized Australian landscape]โ€ฆ. Only those capable of queering the utterly abnormal courses set by the ignorant and the greedy [i.e., Western river engineers] will be living in true responsiveness and service to Country.

What does Gissell mean by this, apart from โ€œGive me a job, Iโ€™m gay and Blak and can vomit all the associated fake academic lingo accordinglyโ€?
Simply that, by attempting to control natureโ€”for example, by building flood defenses, dams, canals, or rerouting riversโ€”human beings were actually only making the resultant eventual floods in places like the Australian outback even worse.

But only one specific particular class of humans are ever responsible for this whole disastrous trend, of course: white male heterosexual ones. After all, the Abos never built any reservoirs, did they?
Why Are Canals So Straight?

Rivers are naturally wavy and โ€œqueerโ€ in their nature, unlike man-made canals or irrigation channels, which are, literally and figuratively, โ€œstraight.โ€ To try to force a wavy river into a straight channel is akin to …

and on and on it goes.

People who get up and go to work every day are paying for this fantasist/bludger.

Colonial Britain drained India of $64.82 trillion, report claimsOxfamโ€™s findings have reignited calls for reparations to address the enduring impact of British rule
Amrit Dhillon
Monday January 20 2025, 3.15pm GMT, The Times

India
London

Between 1765 and 1900, $64.82 trillion left India for the UK, with more than half of it going into the pockets of the richest 10 per cent of the population, Oxfam International has said in a report.
โ€œThis would be enough to carpet the surface area of London in British ยฃ50 notes almost four times over,โ€ said the report, released to coincide with the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Monday.
The report, titled Takers not Makers: The unjust poverty and unearned wealth of colonialism, blamed the British Empire for stifling Indiaโ€™s industrial growth and leaving it impoverished.
โ€œIn 1750, the Indian subcontinent accounted for approximately 25 per cent of global industrial output,โ€ it said. โ€œHowever, by 1900 this figure had precipitously declined to a mere 2 per cent. This dramatic reduction can be attributed to Britainโ€™s implementation of stringent protectionist policies against Asian textiles which systematically undermined Indiaโ€™s industrial growth potential.โ€

According to Oxfam, the seeds of inequality sown during the colonial era and the resultant transfer of wealth from the south to the north continue to be a powerful force driving inequality today.
โ€œThis must be reversed. Reparations must be made to those who were brutally enslaved and colonised. Our modern-day colonial economic system must be made radically more equal to end poverty. The cost should be borne by the richest people who benefit the most,โ€ it said.
The figure of $64.82 trillion was not a calculation made by the reportโ€™s authors. It was attributed to two Indian economists based in Delhi, Utsa Patnaik and her husband, Prabhat, who referred to themselves as Marxists.
In 2018, they estimated that Britain had drained India of approximately $45 trillion, which was based on a slightly different period โ€” 1765 to 1938 โ€” from the Oxfam timeframe. According to Oxfam, the higher $64.82 trillion figure is an update to an analysis published in 2021.
Not everyone is convinced. Tirthankar Roy, professor in economic history at the London School of Economics wrote on X: โ€œOxfam joins the display of mindless illiteracy with which leftist activists discuss impact of the British Raj.

โ€œThe core of the claim of extraction is a net flow of money from India to Britain from the late-18th century (decades before most of India was colonized) to the 1920s. This outflow is blown up by activists posing as scholars using dishonest tools posing as โ€˜methodsโ€™.โ€
More broadly, the report takes aim at global inequality and the rise of billionaires in the world. It ascribed the rise of a โ€œnew oligarchyโ€ to factors such as inheritance, cronyism and monopoly power. It added that the foundations of that disparity lay in the plunder and looting of colonies like India, asserting that most billionairesโ€™ wealth has been โ€œtakenโ€, not โ€œmadeโ€.

Hahaha. Albo has called an emergency meeting of the “national cabinet” to do nothing about the firebombing of a childcare centre in Sydney.

NSW premier Chri Minns is supporting Albo’s call to do nothing about the latest anti-semitic attack. Minns is the acceptablle public face of Labor’s radical agenda.

Suburban Sydney muslims have Albo and Chris Minns by the balls and they’re not letting go. Albo and Chris Minns are impotent beause they fear a loss of marginal seats to terrorism supporters in the Sydney suburbs.

I don’t want to hear another word from either of them except to announce the arrest of muslim radicals campaigning for the annihilation of Jews.

Interesting that PM Duck ‘n Weave went the big deflection at his presser.
Looking off to his side he says, “Well, he’s just back from holidays today, so …”.
I assume “he” was Minns, but I don’t really care.
Remember when a PM was on holidays during bushfires?

This is tantamount to treason. I’ll lay it out-
-because they fear a loss of their individual power in parliament-
-they have legislated, regulated and instructed their police and courts-
-to allow terrorism to be visited upon their citizens.

I’m not close enough to politics to know for sure the truth about Abbott, but these things are my impressions. One, that he should not have been involved in pillorying and gaoling Pauline. Two, that he should not have given a pass to either the ABC or the NDIS. I know why he did so, but he should have been “politically wise” enough to say that the NDIS funding was subject to budgetary limitations, and ditto the ABC. He remains a very interesting character, not without compassion, and that part is hardly ever mentioned. While the idea of a broad church has appeal to some, in the case of the Liberal Party it means that the wet left distorts its message and should be sent packing. They are not conservative at all. They did Abbott in to elevate Mal, not a good result. And I hark back to a fairly dry assessment of Australia a long time ago – an American said it’s a strange sort of place where the government owns the railways and Liberal means conservative. He forgot to mention the crows flying backwards to keep the dust out of their eyes.

Naming a baby Lucifer? To hell with that, say German judgesA court has refused a couple permission to call their son after the devil, adding to a list of rejected names that includes Judas and Lenin (but not Adolf)
David Crossland
, Berlin
Monday January 20 2025, 12.01am GMT, The Times

A couple has been banned from ยญcalling their son ยญLucifer after a local registry office decided it would harm his prospects.
A court in Rostock, northern Germany backed the decision. Under German law, the authorities are entitled to refuse names that they believe could threaten a childโ€™s future wellยญbeing by exposing them to ridicule or put them at a disadvantage in society.
In addition, the first name must be recognisable as such and clearly indicate the gender of the child.
Offices base their assessments on ยญunwritten legal custom and precedent. Other names that have been rejected include Satan, Judas, Lenin, Gucci, McDonald, Bierstรผbl (loosely translated as pub), Vaginia, Whiskey, Excalibur and Pain.
โ€ข Most popular baby names take inspiration from music and film
Adolf is almost never called out in German playgrounds but the name tends to be permitted. However, if the parents are known to be neo-Nazis they are told to choose a different name.
According to a YouGov survey ยญpublished in the magazine Familie last month, Adolf is the most unpopular first name in Germany with 89 per cent of people objecting to it.
Kevin, which became popular in the Nineties after the release of the film Home Alone, is spurned for being working class. Alexa has fallen out of favour since the launch of Amazonโ€™s virtual assistant. The recent decline of the name Greta has been blamed on the ยญpolarising ยญpresence of the Swedish ยญclimate activist Greta Thunberg.
In 2024 the most popular baby names in Germany were Emily and Noah.

I agree Jo. Husband and have travelled by car across a fair bit of the USA. We love the country and the people. We are mostly fans of the east coast. Vermont and New Hampshire properties are superb – gorgeous countryside. We have also travelled through the Catskills – stunning country – along the Great Lakes & down through Pennsylvania. Even stayed with a moderate sect of the Amish. Lovely people – they were amazed that we knew a lot about farming. During the same road trip we drove to Washington which I loved ( most people do not). For me it was a modern rendition of Ancient Rome. All shock & awe – down to the mall with its temple with its sculptures of great men etc. loved it. Back up the Jersey turnpike and back to NY and a short stay on Long Island.

In other years we traveled to Chicago for trade shows – amazing city & skied in Colarado where we also dog sledded – beautiful country. Travelled by car down into New Mexico/ Arizona & on to Southern California.

These just some of the places over the years. Have never liked the west coast much – Los Angeles & San Francisco for example. Doesnโ€™t have the charm of rural or Central America.

In recent years we have taken to watching 94Life TV channel which features folks all over the US buying a home. It is a fascinating insight into American life & destroys many illusions. Black couples buy expensive houses and apartments , for example, like any other demographic. But it is the remarkable builds in wooded areas and beach and lake areas that really illustrate the American dream. It is a truly beautiful country.

Regardless of any pleasantries regarding Krudd that Albo & co say the Trump administration have said, look at the people who Trump has surrounded himself with.

Does Albo think Elon is going to forget that he’s been targeted multiple times by this federal government?

Does Albo think Trump will forget everything that Krudd, Albo, Wong etc have said about Trump?

And the most compromising issue, Israel, does Albo think people like Miriam Adelson and her universe are going to stand for Australia’s official response.
All the dumb legacy media saying Wong still being invited to the inauguration shows things are just peachy.
I would say that Adelson sitting behind the Clintons, in the next row after the former presidents says she’s not going to go back to Florida and keep to herself.

The way out of this is to recall Krudd and replace him with someone acceptable.
If I was Albo (eww…I just threw up in my mouth a bit…) I would be calling Anthony Pratt and seeing who he thinks a suitable, former business person, who’s not so political, doesn’t have to be Jewish, who would be ideal to fill the role.
Someone that can be an effective negotiator on behalf of Australian interests.
The opposite of Krudd.

And then the federal government has to stop saying stupid shit like committing to not arrest Bibi if he came to Australia.
And stop supporting Hamas resolutions at the UN.

If the political class think that everything will be fine over the next four years, they really have shit for brains.
Everything with the US will have strings attached.

Climate activists who targeted Woodside boss Meg Oโ€™Neillโ€™s home admit to trying to trespass, damage her houseEmily MoultonThe West Australian
Tue, 21 January 2025 4:45PM

Climate activists who targeted the family home of Woodside boss Meg Oโ€™Neill armed with a bucket of paint, a padlock and an ABC Four Corners film crew have admitted trying to trespass and damage her house โ€” but say they do not regret their actions.
Matilda Lane-Rose, Gerard James Mazza, Jesse Sandover Noakes, Emil Davey, who are all part of the Disrupt Burrup Hub protest group, faced Perth Magistrates Court on Tuesday where it was revealed the more serious charge against them โ€“ conspiracy to commit an indictable offence โ€” had been dropped.
The quartet then pleaded guilty to their remaining charges, which include attempting to trespass and damage the property.
However, two others members, Joana Veronika Partyka and Tahlia Madeleine Stolarski, who were not at Ms Oโ€™Neillโ€™s home on August 1, 2023 and were charged three months later with conspiring to commit and indictable offence, told the court they intended to fight the allegation against them.
During the hearing, Mazza, Lane-Rose, Noakes and Davey admitted they intended to unlawfully damage Ms Oโ€™Neillโ€™s front driveway, garage door and brick wall. They also admitted they intended to trespass on her property.
However, before the group could carry out their plan โ€“ which was controversially being filmed by the Four Corners crew โ€“ they were arrested by armed police who were waiting for them.

Six months in solitary confinement, on bread and water – the bread may be stale, but they are allowed all the water they can drink – should teach them reverence and respect for other people’s property. The Four Corners crew do a year in solitary.
