Jeez, Musk-rat is really pouring sea-salt and Tabasco sauce into that open wound now.

He and the Orange-Oaf just re-hired big balls, which is a giant fck-you and we don’t care what you think to the American left.

But, yes, I think that was why they had a re-think.
They cave on this kid over a few tasteless, but probably tongue-in-cheek and “ironic” Insta posts, then the MSM will keep trying to dig up shit on all of them until they find one of them stole a Mexican kid’s burrito in third grade or whatever.
It only stops if you tell them to f-ck right off … and then maybe retaliate with a good hard look at the record of the WSJ bint who used to work at USAID.

There’s one thing about Australia moving out of the Paris Accord

It only ever happens in a bizarre parallel universe where normality reigns.

Thanks JC, I don’t disagree with anything you’ve written.

I’m sorry everyone but like most other Australian Jews I can’t help but view everything at the moment through the prism of Jew hatred that has exploded in this country post-October 7 2023. My own synagogue has been targeted. I feel unsafe.

I’m watching the footage of the three Jewish male hostages being handed over by the Gazan Nazis and you can see how the hostages have been starved. The hostages look exactly like those liberated from the death camps, weak, frail, gaunt and starved. Yet there are people across the West, and many in this country, who support these Nazis, and who are willing to cast a vote for a Nazi party called the Greens.

Where is Shiri Bibas? Where is Kfir Bibas? Where is Ariel Bibas?

One more thing about the Libs.

We’re the second largest gas&coal exporter in the world. We’re likely to suffer gas shortages and the price has gone up lots. We let others burn this stuff while we’re building renew balls running up the price of energy by about 40%. Watermelon is talking about nuclear.

Has Watermelon ever considered or spoken about the fcking absurdity of this?

There is no need for that, Cass. I will protect you.

JC – the ultimate outcome of their agenda is no electrickery for the peons.

Wind, solar, nookular, it’s all bollocks.

It is not about going greenfilth – it is about going without.

Remember that the next time you see some staggeringly stupid ozzie political parasite attempting to square the circle of “the energy transition”.

You will exist in caves, in the dark, enduring an existence worse than that of medieval peasants.

Wow, Midnight Oil are the only full time musos I’ve ever heard of from that lot. I’ve never heard of any of the others – excepting the three or four movie stars.
From those 30, the only song I’ve heard, or even recognise the sound of, is “Come on Eileen” – though had no idea it was “80s”
To the best of my knowledge I’ve never heard any of the other tunes, ever.

Comparing two recent parody videos.

The 1st from The Onion on the left wing.
Megachurch Conducts Successful Nuclear Missile Test
The 2nd from the Babylon Bee on the right wing.
Foolproof Ways To Avoid Getting Deported
Discussion:
The Onion correctly highlights that it would be terrifying for some religions to gain nuclear weapons, but totally fails to identify Islam as the one that would be the most dangerous, instead ridiculing the ego of Christian megachurches gaining a hypothetical nuke.
On the other hand the Bee highlights a recent issue that has actually happened and points out the irony and hypocrisy of the people involved.

Conclusion:
The left aren’t funny.

THE TIDE HAS TURNED

Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill., referred to Rep. Sarah McBride, D-Del. — a man who identifies as a transgender woman — as “Mr. McBride.”

The chair recognizes the gentleman from Delaware, Mr. McBride, for five minutes,”

The numbers in the Oz were suggesting that.
And I think there is a lot of guessing in Werribee about preferences in a Melbourne Cup field of candidates.
Burning a 10% margin in Werribee is one thing.
But vacating the field to the Greens in Prahran, only to have it pinched by the Libs?
There will be some blood-letting over that.

Dunno.
But I am surprised that isn’t getting more airplay.
Remember, the by-election was called because the smarmy c-nt the Greens had in there got caught #me-tooing the help. And the fact that he couldn’t do a mea culpa and limp along until next election hints that there might have been others.
Two green voting demographics who will be pissed off by that:-
1. Young women with an indeterminate number of cats; and
2. Older retired public servant type ladies with an indeterminate number of cats.
You would think a bright young ALP strategist would have identified that opening (so to speak).

GLOBALIST MELTDOWN – Gordon [Brown] in a panic about USAID being shut down.

So let me be clear… Gordon is now the:

United Nations Special Envoy for Global Education,

AND

World Health Organization’s (WHO) Ambassador for Global Health Financing

AND

USAID allocated approximately $21.4 BILLION to programs implemented through the United Nations and other international organisations, which include the WHO

We see you Gordon, we see you

In rough terms:-
Werribee ALP leads Libs on 2PP 50.5/49.5.
In Prahran Libs lead Greens 51.5/48.5.
One thing we can rejoice over is that this is absolutely confirms the end of Prosciutto’s career.
If the Libs had wobbled a bit here, the whiteants would have been running riot again.

Was watching John Howard interview with John Anderson.
Got about 10 minutes in, couldn’t continue. Started yelling at the TV. Missus quite concerned for my blood pressure,
What a scumbag. What a fool. What a turd. What an ignoramus. What a c*nt.
What a smug, stupid, little pissant.
The only good thing is he looks awful and will probably relocate to a well deserved hell soon.
Gave us the stupid GST, broadening the tax base and laying the groundwork for the current government metastasise.
Globalist tool.
Completely unable to admit the mistakes made as his policies dissolved the middle class, and eliminated our industrial base.
The fool said the following, to paraphrase “China won’t invade Taiwan because they wouldn’t want to deal with a rebellious province for decades to come”
You moron. Chinese are not rebellious people. The one characteristic of Chinese, in particular the Taiwanese, is that they will obey authority. Like most Asian peoples they will work until they drop if the boss orders them to do so. If Taiwan falls there will be no rebellion.
He said it in such a smug and supercilious manner, content in his ignorance.
Just f*ck off and have a stroke Howard. You are the worst pm this country ever had. The damage you inflicted will haunt us for generations.

Time some prosecutors looked into Blair, Howard and Bush and the legality of the invasion of Iraq.
They buggered up the Middle East and caused so many deaths, including many good men on our own side.

The foolishness of this pissants comment about China not wanting a rebellious province, seen in the light of the take over of Hong Kong, and remembering Tiananmen Square, just breathtaking. Also his take on past Chinese leaders being cooperative with the West, don’t you get it John? Don’t you understand yet? They fooled you. They got what they wanted out of you. You blithering idiot.
