Liberty Quote
The corruption of the regulatory bodies does not shake his blind confidence in the infallibility and perfection of the state; it merely fills him with moral aversion to entrepreneurs and capitalists.

Thanks, JC and CL. Laughed out loud at you two defending Brigitte Bardot’s hippy feel-good politics. #NothingWrongWithBeingPussyWhipped.
The ABC apparently still completely unaware that Trump has released his fake news awards.
Go figure.
The only thing worse than Adelaide rap is abo rap, amiright Testes?
Compare SA (peaking) at $11.00 per kwh. US (some) retail at $0.11 per kwh
Ya know Cohenite, I don’t see the head prefect thing as a putdown especially with the level of muppetry that’s shown up here.
Recently, several people have complained about the muppetry. You should take that on board.
I’ll pay that as rejoinder of the day. Well done.
Jupes, you should know the routine by now. Their ABC and Fakefacts won’t run the Trump fake news awards story until they have run it through their climate models.
Sorry, that’s $14.00 per kwh wholesale
JC – Here you go.
FBI Investigating Millions Of “Mishandled” Dollars Funneled From Australian Govt To Clinton Foundation
I don’t look at Lifezette but it is Laura Ingraham’s politics blog. Pretty high in Alexa ranking according to the wiki.
Wind in VIC 261MW. At $13,000 per MWh
In one hour the blow it out your arse people 261 x 13,000 = $3,393,000. Is this correct?
I knew it.
Didn’t Bardot denounce moozleys for their appalling cruelty to animals?
Thanks, Bruce. A link for the remembery.
Sure Bruce but you realise that we are talking about the same people who investigated Hillary Clinton’s top secret emails on her unclassified computer and the bloke whose credibility was shredded when he claimed Vic plod was about to arrest TLS? And this was before he was found living in Cathy Jackson’s shed.
Sorry if I don’t get too excited about it.
It’s very important that the FBI knows what Michael Smith knows.
Especially the location of any original documents and/or witnesses.
Jupes – Cory’s comment is a backhander to Li’l Johnny’s comment on his love of Bobby Zimmerman’s tunes.
Pope apologises to victims of abuse by clergy in Chile

Video and story: The most pro-Trump town in America where 95% of votes cast were for Trump.
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/roberts-county-year-pro-trump-town-america/story?id=52364233
I think someone alerted Laura Ingraham to Smith’s blog post and she simply repackaged it.
Bruce
Bruce, the first para suggests that it is factual. Then, the quote shows Smith’s saying the FBI has asked him to investigate this for them.
So let’s go through this slowly. The FBI, despite these recent twists, is a very conservative organization. It bypasses the Australian Federal police and goes to Michael Smith and asks him to investigate the story for them.
Lets think about this. The FBI has received all sorts of rebuke for dealing with the dude who wrote the Trump dossier because he was an intel outsider. However they rush to a cuck living in a garden shed with a history of fucked up investigative reporting to suss out the Clinton/Gillard connection.
You don’t find this a little laughable. You also raise no doubts about where you’re reading this – Zero fucking Hedge.
Let me explain to you what would have occurred. Smith contacts the FBI saying he has the goods on the scandal. The FBI says, tell us what you have, like they would do with any member of the public contacting them by phone or email to report a federal crime. They even have a website for it, with the email address and phone number. You or I could call them if we wanted and report a US federal crime.
This, in Smith’s mind, morph’s into the FBI contacted him.
As they say in Harlem “see wha i’m sayin?”
Snap, JC. I think.
Fox News and Russian state media are promoting a conspiracy theorist’s California secessionist ploy
‘Fox News is promoting what it calls a bid by “conservatives in California so fed up with liberals running their state” to “break away” from the state and form a “New California.” What Fox didn’t mention is that the secessionist ploy is being led by a conspiracy theorist.’
https://www.mediamatters.org/blog/2018/01/17/fox-news-and-russian-state-media-are-promoting-conspiracy-theorists-california-secessionist-ploy/219089
https://www.rt.com/usa/416118-new-california-declares-independence/
One more thing …moving down the chain a little and reading in between the lines.
Smith contacts the FBI and says he has information relating to a US federal crime. The FBI asks him to send them what he has and possibly ask him in further communication for any additional information.
This is all quite possible, as it would be incumbent on the FBI to investigate any information coming their way.
It gets even worse the more I think about it.
Smith turns this into a story where the FBI has contacted him. If I’m right he’s even more disgusting than I thought.
Listen, It’s no big deal to contact the FBI. I made contact with them and was interviewed on two occasions. At the time all you needed to do was call them on their New York office number. We believed there was a fraud going on with a phony jerkoff wanting to do FX trades using phony financial statements.
They even came in to listen to our tapes.
The other time was little different but along similar lines.
It’s no biggie making contact with the FBI… if you really, really want to.
So far today Testes has linked both the J e w i s h Vanity Press and rt.com. You gotta give this stuff away Testes. It will rot your brain faster than the usual cheap port and leaded petrol.
Thanks Snoopy.
One of the most subtle and egregious technical aspects of alarmism is the notion of equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS). ECS is defined by the IPCC as the change in Global Average Temperature (GAT) from 2XCO2. This has been based on the idea that CO2 hangs around for centuries in the atmosphere blocking heat so even if we lived in caves and produced no more CO2 the heat would continue to accumulate.
But CO2 is not long lived. It’s residency is much shorter than the IPCC assumes. Additionally, any heating effect from CO2 is subject to Beer-Lambert law which shows that as more CO2 is added the extra heating is subject to a logarithmic decline so that after about 400ppm, which is where we are now, any further heating would almost unmeasurable.
This has not prevented a new paper from the alarmist Nature journal about ECS which shows still a temperature increase from 2XCO2 of 2.2–3.4 degrees Celsius.
David Lloyd has picked up on this so while the warning is slightly less it is still there. In fact estimates of ECS have been falling for some time in the scientific literature as David Stockwell showed.
CO2 has risen from 290 to 410ppm in the last 120 years, an increase of 42% for a GAT increase of 1C. Given the operation of Beer Lambert law the remaining 58% will have a negligible effect. What a scam.
Cohenite
Not to be a pedant, but you once totally misrepresented Judith Curry here leaving me open mouthed speechless.
When you post scientific claims like you are now, wouldn’t it be a little helpful to post supporting links to some of those assertions you’re making. Frankly what you’ve posted are basically unsubstantiated scientific claims. As you don’t have a science background it would be even more supportive to offer up a little evidence, no?
Don’t take this the wrong way, as I’m really trying to be helpful.
Smith is delusional if he thinks he’s the man to bust open the Clinton Crime Foundation.
Others have tired and died.
Baldrick
What makes it even more amusing is that Smith reckons he’s telling the FBI. Why isn’t Smith talking to the Australians when it was out money siphoned off. We’re the victims here – not the US.
Someone might leave a spade leaning up against the door of his garden shed.
Its a bit quiet here at work so have had a little more time than usual to get out the odd tweet and comment or two today. After being alerted to TheirABC not running the Real #FakeNewsAwards I thought I’d pop over for a look at this link http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-01-18/jeff-flake-compares-donald-trumps-media-attacks-to-stalin/9338652
I can see no other link on the ABC about the awards. I managed to get a comment posted and it took 28 minutes to appear. They have now closed the thread to any further comments LOL.
In other news it seems you can have a play list on Spotify unless you are a conservative:
Let me also say one more thing. It appears Gillard was sucking up to the Clintons and gave away our money to that criminal organization. We will never know if there was any side deals done in person.
However, what she did was perfectly legal in the sense that she didn’t commit a crime. That’s because governments have a lot of sway how they spend money. The dishonest slapper gave away our money to that crime gang and also likely to be perfectly legal.
Just goes to show that it does matter who we vote into government, as dishonest scumbags can steal money legally.
I know.

I’m sure the FBI have bigger fish to fry than the titbits of a shed dwelling ex-shock jock.
Nevertheless, these are the facts: TLS as Prime Minister gave hundreds of millions of Australian taxpayers dollars to a branch of the Clinton Foundation called the Global Partnership for Education.
Within a year of being sacked as PM, TLS was appointed chair of the board of the GPFE, therefore pocketing hundreds of thousands of those very same dollars.
True. Probably the only thing our politicians are competent at is what can only be termed ‘legal corruption’. In fact they are brilliant at it. Note the Persian Dwarf is still drawing a senators salary even as I write this.
True. Note that the Liberals have also donated (IIRC) tens of millions of Australian taxpayer dollars to the same fund. Brilliant idea Julie Bishop.
Grr. Just caught a snippet of Nein News (sorry, Rabz) and the highly paid, low info bimbo kept praising /lamenting alternately the ‘powa’ situation in SA.
Lazy pronunciation. And it’s getting quite a workout, with the ‘Toowa down under’ and a promise of up to date news on the ‘owa’.
Corey to Fanning: “Get over yourself music is for everyone.”
Please note that if CO2 starts at 300 ppm then 2xCO2 needs to get to 600 ppm.
However if CO2 starts at 400 ppm then 2xCO2 is a bigger jump up to 800 ppm.
That’s why they define it in those terms, because if you double any number, then the amount of logarithmic increase is exactly the same (magic property of logarithms).
This all depends on the feedback being linear, which it almost certainly is not, given the strong negative feedback caused by evaporation and the fact that warm, moist air rises together with nonlinear properties of water. But the feedback story is something else again.
Just listening to a Perth radio station: Mix 94.5 and the two disc jockeys thought they would have a go at the Donald.
They read out what were no doubt the easiest questions of the cognitive test that Trump recently passed as part of his medical examination.
They made out that Trump thought he had passed the MENSA test when all he had to do was answer some really easy questions, some of which one of them read out and the other one would answer e.g. Trump had to look at a picture and name a lion and rhino.
However things didn’t go according to plan when they attempted the (no doubt easiest) maths question. The female DJ didn’t even understand the question and completely stuffed it.
Trump got 100% LOL

There have been several accidents involving heavy trucks in NSW in the last week or so.
Do you have any thoughts or information on the possible causes? Statistical anomaly? Driver error? Maintenance issues?
There has been little said on the news as to whether they involve owner drivers or major companies, and less said about the drivers. The latter leads me to suspect that there are things (diversity drivers?) that the MSM would rather we not know.
Grateful for anything you can add.

I’m not sure if you’re mixing CO2 with Stefan-Boltzmann.
CO2 is limited in it emissivity by Beer Lambert hence the log effect explained by Archibald
, although Michael Hammer does a much more technical analysis which I can link to if you are interested.
Stefan Boltzmann of course measures radiated energy from temperature where, for instance, a 50C rise in temperature has a different change in radiated energy depending on the current value:
From 200K-250K radiated energy increases from 91-222 W/m^2 – an increase of 131 W/m^2.
From 300-350K radiated energy increases from 459-851 W/m^2 – an increase of 392 W/m^2.
How can a 50K (50C) rise in temperature cause such a difference in radiated power for different starting points? That’s the reality we live in, and is expressed in the Stefan Boltzmann equation: E = sigma x T^4.
This is another area where alarmists fall down as a paper by Pielke shows.
The key paragraph is:
The alarmist GAT is incorrect because it does not allow for this effect, that is: (A + B)^4 > A^4 + B^4; GAT can increase but the Earth’s Energy Budget (EEB) need not change; conversely, the EEB can vary but the GAT temperature stay the same. Given this how can you measure the greenhouse effect let alone increases in it?
Why TFF are the mainland Tasmainians not in the streets with torches and pitchforks.
They’re otherwise engaged. Those barrels in disused bank vaults aren’t going to stuff themselves with dismembered corpses.
You cited the definition yourself, it’s based on CO2 levels doubling, that means twice as much of the stuff. We are supposedly around 400 ppm now, so in order to double we need to get up to 800 ppm.
Chortle.
I was amused when I heard that Snowtown now has lots of wind turbines.
Do they put dismembered bird corpses in barrels?
As I mentioned yesterday, and probably others have mentioned it prior, but just in case you missed it…
If you enjoyed watching Milo take apart Jessica Rowe, you will absolutely love this interview with Jordan Peterson. The interviewer is of far higher calibre than Jessica Rowe (she’s still a shrieking harpy, but quicker on her feet), however Peterson is a deeper thinker and a more articulate, meticulous communicator than Milo. The result is an extremely satisfying bloodbath. You don’t often see an interviewee so cleanly KO an aggressive interviewer.
BJ 2GB had stories about unhygienic truck cabins. Overseas drivers not aware of height restrictions.
They presume linear on the basis that probably the temperature will change only a tiny amount. If the change is small enough then the high power effect can be approximated away. Yes, it’s a bit dodgy but standard calculus.
This in itself tells you there is no serious belief in catastrophic temperature rise. Zero probability of a 50K change in temperature. All of the theory is based on small changes only.
A lot of people out there still believe the liberal’s privatisation has caused the high prices, also there is zero serious media in SA to examine the situation.

I think it was the Tickler who posted it up last night. It’s an excellent interview. I also mentioned how it appeared she had the hots for him towards the second half of the interview.
He did also, because he tweeted how he thought she was flirting with him!
But, as the Doc mentioned earlier today. all he really did was say regular and normal things in response to total madness.
Truth be told, his responses aren’t all that new, as the Cat has been churning over what he said for years. 🙂
The interviewer is a blind woman throwing haymakers, while he’s a neurosurgeon with a scalpel. The result is that she ends up punching walls while he shreds her brain.
Peterson has the patience of a saint and is practically in stitches by the end.

Firstly, how does this even rate as ‘news’?
Secondly, what about the hide of a 22yo to try and bludge free accommodation because she is a SM influencer?
Thirdly, what is the mentality would pay attention to a 22yo ‘influencer’? (answer whining pricks that say they can’t afford to save for a home deposit at a guess)
Fourthly, ….I dunno. This is a symptom. The disease appears untreatable until the power goes off then the battery runs out in the device, but then everything will be rooted.
Census data shows people born in Sudan make up about 0.1 per cent of Victoria’s population — yet Victoria’s Crime Statistics Agency (CSA) data shows that 8.6 per cent of aggravated burglaries in the state are committed by Sudanese youths.
In that Jordan Peterson interview with the BBC’s finest bombastic narrow-memed harpy Cathy Newman became putty in the hands of a competent man. By midway through the interview she’d succumbed like a giddy schoolgirl, she knew she was totally beaten in the face of polite, quietly-spoken pushback. Totally unprepared for it, none of her usual shrieking pomposity, talk-over tactics and misapplied words-in-the-mouth antics worked. Beautiful to watch, I have watched it a few times today and sent it on to like and unlikeminded others.
True JC but the way he keeps his head under fire is pretty remarkable, just about all of us would have told her she was a shrieking hysteric (which is true) and the interview would have gone to shit. Nobody’s mind would have been changed. The fact is that many, many people agree with her premises, they would make all of the same assumptions about what they thought Peterson was saying even though that isn’t what he said at all. She was singing from the leftist hymn book shared by many. It’s true that we often refute that hymn book here but not necessarily in a way that would appeal to undecideds, let alone leftists. Peterson did in his calm and clinical demolition of her ridiculous assertions, pointing out the way she was misrepresenting him. Nobody watching could say she came out of that looking good, that she wasn’t totally outmatched.
You see this in political debates. Each side says their guy smashed the other, yet when you watch the debate it’s pretty clear that neither was particularly dominant over the other. People’s perception of who won is usually driven by their own beliefs. However, nobody could say that Peterson didn’t demolish her, and I’d say she’s usually a pretty strong performer who’s good at railroading guests she disagrees with into positions they don’t hold.

Quite simply, because none of the mediocrities in authority here gives a shit or understands why they should.

The harridan never had a chance.
Classic leftist tactic of chanting slogans and looking for one “gotcha” point.
Well spoken, fact quoting and confident guests slaughter them.
It why snowcone just makes sure they don’t get to speak.
Tinta, you have to wonder why she kept trying. Clearly the misrepresenting of his position wasn’t going to suddenly start working. She ought to have just ended the interrogation when she realised her tactic was failing and started asking him questions for the purpose of learning something. But she kept at it. By the time she moved on to lobsters, she must have known how ridiculous she sounded. ‘So you’re saying we need to organise ourselves like the lobsters?’ How could she not be embarrassed asking a question like that?
I don’t think that woman is stupid, I’m sure she isn’t. But when you meet someone you disagree with yet is nevertheless clearly far more informed than you and you realise you have zero chance of outwitting them, why would you keep trying to? Why wouldn’t you ask them questions and listen to their answers? Maybe they’re right and you’re wrong?
This article on comparing cultures is excellent.
Thanks to whoever posted it.
Is it OK to say Ash Barty is a dog and I hope the cute Italian chick (Camila Giorgi) whips her fat bogan ass?
Fair cop, OCO. I would have told the bint to go fuck herself in the first couple of mins.
No, because bogans don’t get to the Tour in the first place, and bogans don’t get to quit the Tour, then pick up a contract with Cricket Australia,despite never having played the game.
Other than that, tough…
LOL. Tom, after going JC and C.L. over the comely, though now elderly, Brigitte, has been mesmerised by a wiggling bottom in a flip skirt!
😄
JC: that’s what I mean! And you would be right to do so. She’s a dissembling cow. BUT you wouldn’t have changed minds doing that. People who agree with you would have said she deserved it (she did). People who like her line of questioning would have said you were a woman-hating mansplainer. Zero net change.
Peterson’s approach would have changed some minds.
Did you hear the stupid cow recite the disparity in BBC pay males/females? The bint reckons the pay difference is a whole whopping 9%! There’s absolutely no way to count that narrow difference as disparity. It’s a blip.
There will be more and more overseas truck drivers as locals can’t stand the lifestyle for long.
Trucking companies are crying out for drivers and offering over a hundred grand but the hours are family killers.
They just don’t know when they will be home as there are so many variables effecting the schedule, not to mention the tax collectors on the way.
The local blokes who drive are rarely sighted. They’re either on the road or asleep.

She was stunning – possibly the most beautiful woman in the world for the past 100 years. There is a God! Frogs make good looking gals, I reckon. The best in the world.
I too have watched the interview twice now, and it’s got to the point where I quickly feel embarrassed for her, she just looked so stupid. It was like she was making an effort to interpret what he was saying in the most simplistic, pinheaded manner imaginable.
If 0.1% of the Victorian Sudanese population is Sudanese then it’s reasonable to assume that approximately (let’s be generous) 20% of them are males be the ages of 13 and 20. That is 0.02 of Victorian population. Therefore they have an offending rate just for aggravated burglary (aka home invasions) 430 times greater than the general population.
Or am I wrong?
For longer than 30 minutes?
it’s got to the point where I quickly feel embarrassed for her, she just looked so stupid.
She could not compete with him intellectually or verbally and so she continually chose the cheap “so you’re saying that…”
He wasn’t. And he set her straight again and again.
Women like her do nothing to promote the cause of her cluey, competent sisters.
oh com on – The bombastic bint has developed no other tactic. She’s not an interviewer she’s into activist j’ism – a la Frank Elly. There is no questions she is intelligent but she’s hiding her intelligence under the feminist bushel and she’s become lazy having honed no other tools to dig deeper than the superficial gotcha she thought she’d have. The interviewer’s intention was never going to be about getting information and learning something from someone who is highly intelligent, very very smart, articulate and a tenured Professor of Clinical Psychology. She lost badly, hopefully she’ll learn from the experience.
I’m just going to watch it again.
I have been surreptitiously looking over bint’s shoulders to look at what shit they look at on their phones.
Not creepy. Just as a sociological experiment.
Mostly food and pictures of themselves.
If this is any indication of what is actually in their heads it explains everything.

BJ 2GB had stories about unhygienic truck cabins. Overseas drivers not aware of height restrictions.
The recent incidents were all on the open road. One involved three trucks and a car on the M1 north of Sydney z(at least three dead). Another seemed to involve a truck not slowing for roadwork, and ploughing into several cars (two dead, a dozen injured).
Just a guess, but I would think that at least 60% of the BBC payroll goes to females. What about that, bitch?
Cats here know I have a son who is so far left I have to invite him over to dinner to make sure he’s not fallen off the planet. Even he is very very impressed with Peterson. In fact he’s asked if I am going to see him when he comes to Sydney on 12 March, which of course I am, I’ve my ticket printed and ready to go and I’ve pre-ordered his book which will be released on 23rd January. I know it’s common sense but he puts it with such academic eloquence and backs it up with his research.
Indeed, proof that thieving from taxpayers to fund the Clinton Crime Machine is bi-partisan policy.
Uniparty in action. Population Ponzi, Clinton corruption. We qualify as a shithole.

Peterson would say these young women are acting on their crustacean instincts. Their place in the hierarchy is looking good to attract a worthy partner. God bless pretty young women.
A lot of people out there still believe the liberal’s privatisation has caused the high prices, also there is zero serious media in SA to examine the situation.
A LOT of Taswegians in SA. Don’t get excited about the average IQ.
Sweden is run by women and they are issuing instructions to their citizens to prepare for an invasion by Russia. Why Russia would want to invade that muslim shithole is a puzzle.
Should be required reading for all Australians.
All cultures are not equal.
They definitely aren’t, and Australia has been purposefully destroyed using this as a basis.
Australia had gone from a population of 13 million to 25 million in my lifetime thus far.
If that’s not purposeful destruction of a culture and country then I don’t know what is.
A brief review of Peterson’s book – posted from a contributor to Goodreads:
A book by Jordan Peterson, I won’t be able to do it justice.
12 Rules for Life is a wonderful book. It is typical Peterson with large amounts of insightful information and wit. The book includes information that I knew, did not know, and information I knew but did not know I knew (like a Peterson lecture).
There are three main points that I took away from this book:
1. The world is a horrible place filled with suffering. If you personally don’t suffer, someone you know will.
2. If you want the world to be better,start with yourself. The more individual people start bettering themselves the potential for the world to be just that little bit better increases.
3. We should live on the line between order and chaos. We need both for a functioning society. We need to grow and adapt whilst not getting rid of traditions and traditional structures, they might be very important.
This is a book I would recommend to everyone whether you’re familiar with Peterson or not.
Clean your room and sort yourself out.
Thanks for that Top Ender
Your recommendation goes far with me, Tinta. Now I’ll have to get the book.
Can’t afford to lose sight of the missus here in Taiwan. Panic sets in. They all look the same and I might never find her again.

India comprises an industrialised nation of around 300 million co-located with a Third World empire of about a billion.
It gives some indication of where (on a smaller scale) our “leaders” wish to take us, but minus the industry, and with them as the ruling class over impoverished “old” Australians (as the Harijans) and a mass of Third World peasants.
..
Hmmmmmmmmm. You have a point.
No. I’ll stick with the food destroying devil I know.
I have a pretty good idea the real levels of crazy out there.
Thanks Gab. I find it difficult to concentrate these days, I think bouts of severe depression, high level anxiety and lack of sleep over the last couple of decades has badly affected my brain.
Trying to discipline myself to read books again over the last couple of years has been hard going but it’s getting better.
Keep at it, Tinta. From what I’ve seen of your comments here, I’d say your brain is still functioning very very well. Concentrate levels will improve, of that I’m certain! xx
Strange how the Left can quote any number of ‘stats’ about CO2 levels, though mathematical analysis fails them on issues like this.
More likely they will build a wall to keep the Scandi-Moozleys out.
I’m sure in Taiwan you’re getting all manner of selfies along with kawaii pouts and V signs.
Good to see Maigret Sets a Trap on ABC today. Something worth watching for a change. Took a while to accept Mr Bean as Maigret. Simenon was a genius, his Maigret novels will give years of enjoyment.

Something doesn’t add up with this story. I don’t get it. There are pictures of this strange family in Vegas and group pics of them with Elvis impersonators. Something just doesn’t figure right.
Thanks Gab, I really appreciate the encouragement. I absolutely loved reading- as a child it’s what calmed my restless hyperactive nature much to my parents relief. Thankfully my older son found solace in reading when growing up in a chaotic unpredictable household, unfortunately his leftism was acquired at university. Perhaps if and when he has a child things might change. Everyday – Hope is a risk that must be run – George Bernanos
I wonder about the collective snowflake consciousness that the hook was the 22yo felt humiliated as a grab to get people to read the article. Is there no insight or sense of irony?

Most hilarious tweet of the day …

Re that Barnes fellow. As with all entertainment people, stick to what brings in the $$$. Being rich from shouting your tits off doesn’t mean that you are still not a fuckwit.

Why would you listen to anything @corybernardi says, especially about music?
Rather than bleating about Bernardi, perhaps the self-styled “working class man” could explain to his followers why their jobs have disappeared & why the wages of those with jobs even haven’t kept pace with inflation, and all in a period of historic economic growth.
Yeah, that Dr Wing Xen dude trolling Barnes is pretty funny.
Jimmy just wants to be loved by the luvvies because he thinks it’ll sell more of his recently released book.
He has never picked up anything heavier that a microphone. Working class man my arse
Sheesh does that mean he’s chasing the bucks rather than keeping it real??!! There will be people that dig holes most disappointed
he’s such a screamer, I’ve never really been into his ‘singing’ because it hurts my ears. His daughter Mahalia though is a real talent. Must get it from her mother
Jimmy Barnes is a no talent bum.

Barnes- front man. says it all
I love how you get to the nub of the issue – descriptive, unvarnished truth-telling at its most excoriating. Thank you Infidel Tiger.
Jimmy Barnes is most likely considered an intellectual by the tradies and miners in the wilds of CQ; any inanity he spouted would be thought profound.
More from the annals of “Hollywood is Fucked”.
Movie Theater Attendance Hits 24-Year Low, Ticket Prices Rise Nearly 4 Percent
The US population is 1993 was 260 million. It’s now 323 million. If ticket sales are at a 24 year low, Hollywood is in depression and there’s no other way of looking at it.
The trouble is that Netflix / series are booming. Netflix, HBO, Showtime are just as left though.
Russians know how to deal with muzzies – just ask a Chechen. If they wanted to, Norway would be empty of Mohammedans within a week.
Nemkat- in the land of the blind the one eyed jack is king. Gotta look at the cattle ur dealing with. Totally agree

So she’s a potatofile
I don’t think he’s that rich.
Why else would he pump out (cough) “standards” and renditions of some “songbook” or other every year?

Ouch. True though.
I have just finished the Jimmy Barnes book and I found it a very hard read
He is a complete f wit!
You would think after marrying you might stop shovelling drugs into yourself
After 4 children?
After 3 stray children turn up?
After open heart surgery?
He was very fortunate to have met Don Walker
Harsh but fair
you always know you are on the downhill slide when you start to do cabaret. He may end up the Tony Bennet of the 70’s/ 80’s pub rock scene. Sadly he is already proud of it. Like Tony, he will be venerated. Fuck knows why
The legal system certainly thinks crime, including sexual crime, is hierachical.
Did someone tweet Minnie Brain and ask her to explain to the gang raped eleven year old that the pain she experienced was no worse than a twenty seven year getting flashed?
I’m pretty sure too that physical pain would be hierachical too
Eleven year old pain to eleventy
Twenty seven year old, zero.
Also risk of pregnancy and venerial disease, hierachical.
The roar of the greasepaint and the smell of the crowd etc
My previous comment about Mr Barnes wasn’t entirely accurate.
Allow me to rephrase …
What’s with Uber style surge pricing of electricity?
It doesn’t effect demand.
Who came up with it?
Q: “What do you call a hopeless drunk who hangs around with musicians?”
A : “Jimmah”.
dopey, he had an astonishing number of women. Didn’t seem to tire him. Wrote a helluva lot.
LL Stevie has great trust in those that dress him for his performances. Some of the archival footage suggests his faith may have been misplaced
Fan
It’s the market mechanism used to direct electricity where it’s demanded most. Demand/Supply rationing takes place with price.
Can’t do that if you’re a lefty,OCO. Start down that path and where could it end? You could lose all your certainties; you might grow up.
Storybook still one of the great albums.
+1
Gotta milk those “working class men..”
Jimmy has turned into the wanking class man
Remember the ugly house he built in Bowral
He spent like there was no tomorrow
But then tomorrow showed up in the form of receivers
And he fled to France
I think the reason he does covers/caberet is because he has so many hangers on to support
And more could turn up any day!
I could relate the story of the dog that pissed on Stevie Wonder’s leg, but no one is interested in very old jokes
..
Yep.
That is what the shreiking hysteria is about.
The hardest thing to do is realise you are wrong about some very fundamental things.
People won’t do it. They completely falsify the incoming information rather than have to retool their worldview.
It is why I am glad I made the journey from left to right.
You realise you can be mistaken about basic, fundamental things.
Chrisl you see the same story on a less grand scale amongst tradies that are worth basic money on the coast and a stack in the mines. Money doesn’t change the mindset, rather reinforces the self belief. then it falls over

I’m reading a little about Jordan Peterson. He commented that if you google “white people” in the search engine you end up with a white and black person. I tried it and it mostly true. The range of white and black is about 50/50.
Peterson is right. Those scumbags at Google are fucking around with the algorithms in order to display political correctness.

If abortions after sixteen weeks run at around 5% that means approximately 2.5 million human heartbeats are deliberately stopped each year.
Or to put it another way, the entire population of Australia terminated every ten years.

2.5 million of these are destroyed globally every year.

I could relate the story of Stevie Wonder, whirling his dog around his head in a department store, was queried by the shop assistant as to whether she could help him with anything. “No thanks”, said Stevie, “I’m just having a look around.”
But I won’t.
Fuck me dead.
Even as an obviously smart woman, she’s a gnat arguing with a God. Worse, trying to entrap one.
The whole thing is embarrassing and she just.keeps.digging. He is conducting a conversation while she tries feebly for gotchas. In a just world, she should never interview again.
A woman who never smiles ain’t pretty. What did they do? Dump her head into a bucket of botox? How does she eat?
True. Maybe you can split the world into people who are willing to lose all their certainties and grow up, and those who aren’t. The latter group are the pedestrian intellects.
You can further refine those in the former group. Those that gradually come to abandon their certainties over a decent period of time are comfortably above average intelligence. Those that can see the weaknesses in their certainties and abandon them relatively quickly are abnormally intelligent. Those that can almost instantaneously abandon their certainties because their weaknesses are plainly evident and ego is of trifling importance compared with being correct – they are near-geniuses and above.
I hope to see the interviewer, in a few years, telling the story of her awakening, and how it stemmed from the experience of being completely routed and how this made her question the premises that underpinned her entire worldview. It could happen. Jordan Peterson is an incredible guy, a truly exceptional individual. Having that kind of exchange with someone like him could very well prompt someone to profoundly re-evaluate their perspective.
To be crystal clear: Nobody has ever accused Jimmy Barnes of having any smarts.
⚠ Link features swimsuit photos.
If I recall rightly it was Ian Meldrum who gave some advice to Jimmy Barnes.
“Stop screaming the words.”
Barnes ignored it.
Dragging him into court is not an option:
Yesterday, a teen thug involved in street gangs who kicked a policeman in the head on Boxing Day failed to make a court appearance after refusing to board a bus at the detention centre where he was held. Children’s Court magistrate Jane Gibson adjourned the case briefly to ascertain whether the teen was ill or just refusing to get on the bus.
Following the break, a representative from Youth Justice said the youth just “didn’t want to get on the bus”.
Ms Gibson said she would not give permission for a video link connection under such circumstances and set a new court date for next month.

Well played.
(AFP) – French film legend Brigitte Bardot attacked the #MeToo movement Wednesday, claiming that actresses who complain of sexual harassment were just looking for publicity.
“The vast majority are being hypocritical and ridiculous,” she told the French magazine Paris Match.
“Lots of actresses try to play the tease with producers to get a role. And then, so we will talk about them, they say they were harassed,” declared the 83-year-old Bardot.
“I was never the victim of sexual harassment. And I found it charming when men told me that I was beautiful or I had a nice little backside,” said the actress, who became a sex symbol overnight for “And God Created Woman” in 1956.
