In general, the art of government consists in taking as much money as possible from one party of the citizens to give to the other.

Of course, the Swampfilth Re-education Hour has no interest in interviewing the new Australian prime minister.
So it wheels out the old Trades hall whore who will deliver government to Their ABC’s Greenfilth Party.
Thanks for watching on our behalf, Custard, but why does anyone else bother?

Bill- the NEG was good!
Shorten says he doesn’t comment on the polls. His smirk said it all.
I’m still in permanent moderation, shadowbanned in distinguished company all over the world. My posts are too incendiary to be allowed free rein, although Quadrant doesn’t seem to share our host’s trepidation. Funny, that.
It’s kinda cool to be perceived as so scary and incediary, except that this censorship has nothing to do with that.
I was going to post some news from the horse’s mouth about the Queanbeyan shooting, but nah.

With the ALP leading the polls by 12 points, this discussion is pointless.
The big question is whether the Libs should split/disintegrate before the election or after the election?
The huge difference in numbers before and after significantly changes the outcome of a split.

Nah. During the nose job they extracted 35% of the brain tissue.

I dunno Mitch M. That study has some design flaws and old biases.
Low-fat cheese, “breakfast cereal”, “chocolate” and canola oil are anti-inflammatory, beer only mildly inflammatory and red meat & organ meats are inflammatory?

Hope so.
Did Tits and Scrotum Face discuss how Michelle Rowland, Labor’s communication spokeswoman, was the guest of Michelle Guthrie on TheirABC’s Mid-Winter Ball table?

Looks like fake news, Gab.
Translation and thread:

FMD. Talking Pictures TOTALLY IGNORED Mark Knight’s Serena Williams cartoon — one of the year’s most important cartoons that created global controversy (because it enraged the racist American left). And despite the fact that Mark Knight has been a regular guest on Talking Pictures. Until now.
If it doesn’t fit the looney green-left narrative, it doesn’t make the Swampfilth Re-education Hour.

RUMBLE IN RIYADH! FIVE-WAY FREEDOM SACK BATTLE ROCKS SAUDI CAPITAL -Tim Blair

That’s a taker!
How long till the thugbot is usurped, once in office?
I wish someone, someday would ask Karen about her breakfast recipe for a whole boar on a spit.

When’s Mrs Squalid donning the freedom sack?
Militant lezzo Kerryn Phelps just now on Their Sky talking about her candidature for Wentworth. In my estimation, she’s the frontrunner because the Lieborals have put up Photios running dog who doesn’t even live in the electorate. Phelps will be about as “independent” as Clover Moore or greenfilth “independent” Cathy McGowan in Indi.
Be in no doubt Phelps will vote with the Filth every time and bring down the Morrison government at the first opportunity.

A California man may be facing jail time after inviting women to dinner, ordering expensive wines and lobster, and leaving them to pick up the tab
A 45-year-old man in California is being accused of taking multiple women out to dinner between 2016 and 2018 before secretly taking off and leaving them with the bill.
The multiple “dine and dash” dates amount to extortion, fraud, and petty theft, according to prosecutors.
If a judge decides the evidence warrants a trial, the man could be facing years in jail.
One woman alleges the man dined with her at an upscale restaurant in Los Angeles before excusing himself for a phone call and leaving the restaurant, leaving her with a $250 tab.
takerkeeperIntegration failure: Report finds 51% Vienna pupils don’t speak German at home
The 8th annual report, prepared by an independent expert council, has found that the Austrian government’s efforts to encourage those with migrant background to learn German have largely fallen flat. The reluctance or inability of migrants, many of whom have arrived into the country in the recent years, is showing more clearly in the country’s capital, Vienna, where 51.2 percent of schoolchildren now interact in a language other than German.

Greece: “Humanitarian Aid” Organization’s People-Smuggling
Emergency Response Centre International (ERCI) describes itself as a “Greek nonprofit organization that provides emergency response and humanitarian aid in times of crisis….” It has reportedly abetted the illegal entry into Greece of 70,000 immigrants since 2015, providing the “nonprofit” with half a billion euros per year.
ECRI evidently received 2,000 euros from each illegal immigrant it helped to enter Greece. In addition, its members created a business for “integrating refugees” into Greek society, granting it 5,000 euros per immigrant per year from various government programs (in education, housing and nutrition).
With the government of Greece seemingly at a loss as to how to handle its refugee crisis and safeguard the security of its citizens, it is particularly dismaying to discover that the major NGO whose mandate is to provide humanitarian aid to immigrants is instead profiting from smuggling them.
Ruddbot, Wongbot… now comes Thugbot.
Gee Stimps I thought we were friends.
Stimpson, your return is noted. Please report immediately to JC, who was fretting last night about your absence. I believe he was (rightly) worried you had done yourself in.
Winx is breathtaking. Just watched her last race. She moved from last to first in about 600 metres and beat the field by three lengths.
There are a lot of doctors who support alarmism and just because they’re doctors their opinion is given respect. From caldicott to phelps these people once they speak outside their specialty are just as stupid and uninformed as any other hysteric. The idea that CO2, and not just any CO2 but only human CO2, is the dominant driver of climate on this planet is so grotesque, so asinine, so egoistic that it is no wonder it has currency amongst the chattering class who above anything else take themselves seriously and completely right and justified in all their moral endeavours.
If phelps wins turdball’s seat and forces a general election I think it will be an appropriate test of where the Australian electorate is.

Dover, if Winx creates history and wins a fourth Cox Plate, it will be her 29th consecutive win. She is indeed God’s gift to horse racing. I’m afraid I’ll be a nervous wreck — like her trainer Chris Waller — until she crosses the line on October 27. Meanwhile, bring on her likely next assignment in the Turnbull Stakes on October 6.

$1.5M settlement for Muslim workers fired in prayer dispute
A big U.S. meatpacker has agreed to pay $1.5 million to 138 Somali-American Muslim workers who were fired from their jobs at a Colorado plant after they were refused prayer breaks, a federal anti-discrimination agency said Friday.
Cargill Meat Solutions, a division of Minnesota-based agribusiness company Cargill Corp., also agreed to train managers and hourly workers in accommodating Muslim employees’ prayer breaks at its Fort Morgan beef processing plant, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission said.
Wichita, Kansas-based Cargill denies wrongdoing but agreed to settle to avoid further litigation, the federal agency said. The dispute dates back to the firings of the workers in late 2016 after management rescinded policies allowing Muslim employees to take short breaks for prayer.

South Koreans begin protesting as they don’t want Muslim refugees in their country
Refugees who expected to be welcomed with open arms, were in for a rude awakening. The arrival of hundreds of Yemenis has fostered a wave of opposition giving birth to what is considered South Korea’s first organised anti-migrant movement.
“Let’s kick out fake refugees!” shouts heard during a 30 June rally on the island which is part of the anti-immigration sentiment overtaking the country.
There were protests in Jeju and elsewhere, including Seoul, during the summer.
“From an early age, they learn to treat women like s3x slaves and to beat them as they like,” Yang Eun-ok, a leader of the Jeju protest, tells the New York Times. “They can take many wives and produce many children. Now, there are 500 of them. In 10 and 20 years, how many of them will there be?”

Kerryn Phelps might turn out okay. IIRC she was a voice of calm reason during the gay marriage debate.
What’s the chance of Winx being overworked and suffering an untimely end?
That seems like an awful lot of winning.
Dover, I meant to add that if you want to see Winx in the flesh, Turnbull Stakes day (Saturday, October 6) is ideal: a crowd of only about 20,000 at Flemington, plenty of room to wander around and bet in the main ring without the crush of the rest of the Spring Carnival.
The only thing that could upset the applecart would be if Winx’s owners wanted her to run the following Saturday — Everest Stakes day at Randwick. But that won’t happen as it would leave the Waller team only two weeks to transfer her to Melbourne for the Cox Plate.
If you can get to Turnbull Stakes day, it’s highly recommended. I saw it from a corporate box above the mounting yard. I was absolutely spoiled; it was work-related.

As for Greg Craig (who?), never trust a man with two first names.
Good Morning Monty!
You’ll notice that when so-called journalists talk about the dispute within the Liberal Party they characterize it as a dispute between moderates and conservatives so as to suggest that conservative opinion on A or B issue simply is never, cannot ever be, moderate, i.e. average. Which is to say that whenever a conservative argues that men and women are different, biologically, that this is somehow now not the view of the average Australian. Or when they defend the natural family as the best environment to raise children, that this is somehow an extreme view not shared by the average Australian. The point is that the media by consistently associating views such as these with edges of Australian electorate it hopes to slowly and inevitably herd the average Australia electorate to, at the very least, entertain what is simply absurd.

Good morning Dr. Stimpy.
You will be pleased to know I have taken up your suggestion of interpretative dance.
Maybe we could interpret together some time.
As a source? Who accepted him as a source? What we pointed out was that even Woodward sensibly judged the claim of Russian collusion was hysterical nonsense caused by TDS.
Stupid.Fucking.Liberals
Just like Malcolm, SloMo calls for a royal commission into a 4 Corners programme, but he gets in first.
You could be mistaken for thinking the ABC runs the political narrative of this country.
Woodward has been interviewing Republicans for months. Of course they are not going to blab, especially not to him. Man Trapped In Desert Finds No Evidence Of Dolphins, big whoop.
Yeah yeah Kerryn Phelps a voice of reason https://www.heraldsun.com.au/blogs/andrew-bolt/abbott-abbott-abbott/news-story/82450212adb6f5511083411819ecf4bf
Ha ha ha.
Reminder: homosexuality is the ultimate form of narcissism.
Actually I forgot that there was some back slapping going on the couch this morning with theirABC claiming another Royal Commission coup
Yes, yes, the collusion was so extensive that every Republican was involved but none will speak!
How about getting the Minister and their department to do their job? Just like ASIC and APRA with the banks.
The answer to crap government isn’t more government.
Thanks for the coffin reminder Stimpy.
Knew a bloke who was an ex-chippy. Made his own coffin and kept it in the shed. This was in New Zealand.
When the time came his sons put him in it and put him on the back of the ute to go around for the planned ceremony at a mate’s place.
Coppers stoped them. No offence involved. They went on their way. Ceremony and wake went off as planned.
There’s probably numerous laws they would have broken here.
The Monster Raving Looney party is now the Democrats.
that’s like the Canberra press gallery awards ignoring Sharri Markson who broke all the big political stories this year including two that brought down the Prime Minister and the deputy prime minister. What’s more hilarious is I personally think Markson is a lefty.
Some things never go out of fashion at the ABC ‘investigations’ unit. Pay Indonesian abattoir workers to film the cattle they’re abusing. Pay a Pakistani sheep carrier worker to film the sheep he’s deliberately neglecting. Now interview aged care workers ‘outraged’ by the neglect their personal laziness is responsible for.
and
Thanks for the links. Islam is implacable; it just demands more and more while populating to death everything else. Apart from killing all lefties when they take over as they did in iran I defy anyone to name anything good produced by islam. Anything.
Thanks for the coffin reminder Stimpy.
I don’t mean run out and buy one today guys.
Just be organized, that’s all.
Also make sure your children don’t have to pay for your funeral, unless they are no good hippy Commies in which case go nuts.
You really haven’t thought very deeply about this, have you?
Not to Woodward. Mueller is more persuasive.
Penultimate.
Maybe we could interpret together some time.
Is this flirting or are we starting a breakdance crew?
I get confused.
The blog’s chief Wrongologist is an official cardholder of the Dead Parrots Society.

Can some Latin speaking Catholics explain this video to me please. In your own time.
So leaking goodness knows how many details that have been published in the media, Woodward’s book and various other publications doesn’t open one up to criminal charges?
Again, you really haven’t thought very deeply about this, m0nty, you low energy loser.
Here’s you problem, Fatboy.
Woodward wrote about book about the CIA during the time Bill Casey was director. Woodward claims he went to Casey’s death bead. Here:
CIA Director William Casey’s deathbed scene
Woodward claimed in his book “Veil: The Secret Wars of the CIA 1981-1987” that Casey admitted on his deathbed that he had known about the diversion of Iran arms sale money to the Contras.

Their climate council report is being quoted on their sky weather channel.
Apparently, they barefacedly now reveal that ‘energy supply systems’ cannot cope with climate change heatwaves, causing blackouts.
Their climate council also reveals that big economic losses occur nowadays from heatwaves, they say that people don’t go to work if it is too hot, but maybe blackouts caused by social justice electricity has something to do with it.
It aint the muzzies killing the country, it is these crony socialist freaks corrupting the joint for fun and profit.

Now political positioning – an independent, but an admirer of the Prince Across the Water.
Hell, if the DOJ and the FBI actually did their jobs and conducted some proper investigations into the Trump WH leaks, the leakers would face the possibility of being prosecuted for the feds’ favourite Clayton’s crime (the crime you commit when they can’t pin any other crime on you) – lying to federal agents.
So no, m0nts, not remotely simples, you dunce. Republicans are either spilling their guts anonymously and voluminously to the likes of the NYT and Bob Woodward because they can’t wait to see the back of Trump, or they aren’t because they’re terrified of prosecution. They can’t be both at the same time.
The lips will lose Wentworth Labor or an independent will win it on preferences.
Thanks for those book extracts, JC. They perfectly explain Woodward’s actions over the past two weeks and in his latest “book”.
His journalistic credibility is a carefully protected myth, propagated by the mainstream American news media, whose only specialty in the current era is lying and undermining the public interest.
Lol. The current PM can’t because it’s a member’s right to resign without explanation, you political troll.
Why? I suggest apply for as many credit cards that you can while you are working but never use them then a few years before you cark it sell everything, party like there’s no tomorrow because there won’t be and max out the credit cards.
I’m calling it: that’s an A Grade fib.
Now I have a bad feeling about Winx in the Turnbull. She has established her greatness, nothing potential about it.

LOL at you lot using Woodward as a source. So you accept everything in his book as gospel truth then, do you?
So you reject the Woodward book in toto?
Same logic as yours!
Polar bears, crocodiles, sharks or C4 can help you achieve this.
‘Sactly. Everyone understands why he was booted, although some people would disagree. Who would possibly admit to be confused.
Technically, he wasn’t booted.
Dave Chappelle has become a bit of a weirdo, Dot.
Also a convert to Islam.
So Woodward is a shonk and a charlatan, except when he says something that feeds a talking point of yours, in which case he is an unassailable rock solid source. LOL.
He had a mental breakdown and “converted to Islam” 20 years ago.
Matt Drudge has had better DC sources than Woodward since the mid 90s. I’ve read a few Woodward books. They’re all the same. One or two spicy reveals of questionable veracity that drive sales; the rest a plodding recount of stuff that is either totally unsurprising or that everyone already knows about.
Sorry, who has said this?
It is you engaging in cherrypicking to fit your narrative, as I have illustrated above.
The stuff they have been blabbing about to reporters does not implicate them in a criminal conspiracy. If they were involved in Russian collusion, they will be charged… unless they turn state’s evidence, which is something they talk to Mueller about, not Woodward. This is not hard to understand, why are you so thick?
Well yea, Woodward has always been considered dishonest. The reason
I clearly recall his dishonesty is because I remember the Bill Casey story very clearly. It never happened.
Woodward is also aware that big MSM would give him the all clear even if he accused Trump of being an alien from outa space.
That’s why the NYT came out with the Op-ed. It was cover for this fiction.
Monty, spitting you out was one of journalism’s albeit unwitting community services. You wouldn’t know the truth or the public interest from a hole in the ground.
Please!! will someone get monty a helmet.
Much of it comes down to basic nutrition. Focus on vegetables, berries, and some fruits. Oranges come up rather good. Quercetin is good stuff, this link contains values in various foods. Go to page 14. Also look at luteolin. Choose foods with those.
The previous article I included contains little about nutrition approaches and I am surprised they included canola oil. Avoid that stuff. Extra virgin olive oil is very good but buy Aus brands because an analysis of overseas brands came up with woeful results, outright contamination of the product to boost up the weight. Producers should have been charged. Also check the use by date because the oil can deteriorate.
Always include leafy greens and legumes. Carb intake relative to activity. With age carb reduction is preferable. Intermittent fasting is a very good idea. Takes a while to get used to. 18.6 or 14.10.
Most breakfast cereals are crap. Raw oats, the plain old Uncle Toby’s oats, I eat them straight out of the box as a snack.
Nuts are important. Brazil nuts for selenium but only a few a week is enough. Aus soils are low in Se.
Zinc is important.
Magnesium deficiency is surprisingly widespread. Peanuts are an excellent source.
Vitamin E: walnuts are excellent because contains many types of E and the associated compounds: tocotrienols.
Cruciferous vegetables but cook on low temps or nuke ’em. Never boil veges, too much heat and nutrient loss.
Red meat contains heme iron, worst possible source of iron. Moderate. The carnivore diet is stupid. I’m conflicted about fish because so much fish sold today is poor quality and contaminated. Hoki seems to be a good choice. NEVER fry fish, worse than no fish. Oven bake\steam.
Optimise your sleep. Very important because recent research highlights that our brains “clean up” during sleep. Stable sleep pattern, aim for 7-9 hours. Naps are Ok but not too long, under 1 hour otherwise can wake up groggy.
Get rid of toxic people. Keep your friends close and shoot your enemies.
Vitamin D, get it checked. Optimal range 75-100. Sunlight is the best but with age we can lose the ability to produce D from the sun. Hence get it checked. Supplements are problematic because D absorption varies hugely from person to person. Something I read a few weeks ago stated that variance can be x34! Sunlight has other benefits. Of course be cautious about sun exposure. I have a skin check done every 6 months but typically it is 12 months. I choose 6 months because of family history.
Stress management. Meditation can help with that but so can listening to music you like, having a good time, exercise, and avoiding social media. 🙂
Turmeric does have value but absorption is very poor. Absorption can be hugely enhanced by adding a pinch of pepper. I sprinkle both on my meals. Spices generally seem to be a good idea.
Eggs have been too much demonised. Very nutrient rich.
Coffee, even decaf, has surprising benefits.
Cocoa rich chocolate, not that Cadbury junk.
Avoid processed foods.
Exercise. Not too much, don’t be intense about it. Enjoy it. Brisk walking is OK but there needs to be some huff and puff. I think strength training is a good idea.
Keep the house clean, air it daily. Be careful with cleaning products and solvents.
Ask your doctor for an FBE(Full blood examination). That can provide some indication about inflammatory status. Specifically ask your doctor to inform you about that. Have it done every year so you can monitor your metabolism as years go by. That can point to emergent problems.
This is off the top of the head and be advised I’m fed up with nutrition reading. I appreciate your point about Google, tremendous amount of garbage out there. I can’t recommend reading because I don’t read the websites and books on the matter. I only became interested in this because a USA friend decided to dive into it and I became interested. We focus on the primary literature though and that is a pain in the ass to trawl through.
Alfoil is on special for $0.99 at the supermart. Let him make his own.
You’re shifting the goalposts now. The standard you set before was that the leakers and sources would be opening themselves up to criminal prosecution before, but now you’re saying criminal conspiracy. Many of the leakers absolutely have been engaging in criminal activity by leaking to the press and people like Woodward. (Pro tip: it’s why they remain anonymous.) And, as I mentioned above, they might nevertheless face criminal prosecution despite the feds not being able to prove they committed the crime(s) they’re being investigated for.
For argument’s sake, let’s assume this is correct (as I can’t be bothered explaining to this utter fool that “Russian collusion” isn’t actually a crime). Why not leak anonymously about it, anyway? Especially if they had no part in Wussia Wussia Wussia, and they’re just leaking what they believe to be true, or are knowlingly leaking falsehoods out of malevolent intent?
Today is the 43rd anniversary – 16 September 1975 – of PNG becoming independent.

And yes – the Allied army included Blucher and the Prussians, but I guess the Prussians will be cast as proto-Fascists so Boo-Hiss to Brexit.
There is even an explanation as to why the previous PM is no longer the current PM. It’s because the previous PM characteristically played his hand about as badly as could be imagined when the LP leadership showdown finally kicked off as a consequence of the abysmal leadership of the previous PM.
The only people lamenting MT’s demise never vote for his party anyway. Phelps is just another example of this.

Beg your pardon, if I am wrong. ☹
Absolutely. A real success of the media has been to reframe the Liberal party as if it had always been the party of people like Turnbull, and it only got briefly ‘dragged’ to the ultra-uber-neonazi-far right by Abbott. Turnbull was just taking it back to where it had always been. According to them, if Menzies were alive today, he’d be marching in gay pride parades, chaining himself to bulldozers and coal trains and imposing gender quotas on the party.
I have to say that the deep state isn’t as sinister as it’s made out to be in some quarters of the conservative blogosphere. If it were, then anyone belling the cat over its existence, naming names and putting names to faces – well, that person would mysteriously commit suicide by shooting themselves in the head. Twice. (Of course, the Clinton crime family is a separate matter.)
The US deep state seems to consist mainly of a group of Sir Humphrey Applebys.

Australian students win F1 in Schools World Championship
There is hope yet with these Young Petrol Heads
Students from Brighton Secondary School in Adelaide have taken out the 2018 F1 in Schools World Championship in Singapore.
James Gurney, Luke Battjes, James Lloyd, JJ Elliss, Tom Lightfoot, and Luka Moase combined to beat finalists from 49 others schools representing 22 countries to win the competition.
In doing so they also claimed the award for Best Engineered Car Award, and set the only sub-one second run through the competitions to win the Fastest Car Award.
The performance has seen the six students awarded scholarships for City, University London and UCL Engineering, and will also be guests in the Formula 1 paddock at this weekend’s Singapore Grand Prix, where they will be presented with the F1 in Schools trophy on the Marina Bay podium.
“We’re feeling on top of the world,” said Gurney, who worked as team manager throughout the competition.
“We knew there were so many competitive teams around but we knew how much work we had done and were just hoping that we had done enough.
“For some of us it’s been three or four years working on this, but we’ve had late nights and an amazing journey.
“Well done to all the other teams too, they’ve been very special and we’re going to have lifelong friends and memories.”
Competitors are charged with designing and building a car, though its performance is only one measure of a team’s overall success.
Overseen by Williams team manager Dave Redding, teams are also assessed on verbal presentations, portfolio, pit display, and engineering judging sessions.
Brighton Secondary School’s success is the sixth time an Australian school has won the F1 in Schools competition, with 17 other top five placings since 2007.
Three other Australian schools finished inside the top 20, with Trinity Grammar in Kew eighth, a collaboration between Methodist Ladies College Melbourne and Hailbury in 12th, and Tumut High School 20th.

Definitely NSFW unless you’re wearing headphones.
I’ve seen several Henry Davis clips. He doesn’t strike me as the most mentally stable individual, but he rants like a champ.
I did not shift the goalposts. You just assumed I meant prosecution for leaking, when I meant prosecution for conspiracy. Are we on the same page now? The leakers are not worried about being prosecuted for leaking. It is not even clear whether they could be prosecuted, when it is not classified information being leaked. The NDAs are worth nothing, and Trump is not going to be in a position to sue anyone by the time this is over.
Think about it, OCO. Why would you admit to being an accessory to major federal crimes to a reporter, particularly Bob Woodward? It’s not as if Trump is going to get away with it, the feds are up him like a rat up a drainpipe. Those involved would only blab if cornered into it by the cops. They can blow off steam about how they are the valiant heroes saving the republic from an idiot leader, that feeds their ego, but there is no benefit from leaking to Woodward that they are staring at a long stretch in an ass-pounding federal penitentiary.

As for the rest of your comment – it isn’t worth bothering with. My position is clear and unchanged. There is no point repeating it. But do keep spinning like a top. It’s what you always do when your bullshit has been pointed out to you, so no surprises there.
If the extreme Left feels the words of our current national anthem are racist, I would be quite happy with reversing Hawke’s proclamation and returning to God Save The Queen.
Bob Hawke is a racist. Who knew?
Lots of chatter about declassification now. If the FISA application docs are declassified, SPYGATE will nuke the left’s hopes for the mid terms and 2020.

To repeat my earlier comment, the lackey of the fascist Deep State has not moved the goalposts, rule by the communist left or tge fascist left is the constant, unchanging, goal. The arguments used to achieve that goal vary as each is shown to be empty.
A good analysis of the Tucker vs creepy porn star lawyer stoush:
Makka, it seems to me that there is clearly a strategy in place between Trump and Sessions that is playing out. This seems like the most obvious answer to the questions being raised again and again, like why doesn’t the prez just declassify the relevant information pertaining to the FBI’s Wussia investigation? Why does Trump keep dinging Sessions but not firing him? Why does Sessions take the punishment without resigning?
Something’s brewing, that’s why.
The troll is very amusing in his defence of mueller and the associated proceedings but perhaps he can grace us with what wussian collusion means in the context of the Mueller’s spit and piss crusade.
Turns out the storm already passed. I thought it was coming this week. Bruce?
I see your position is unchanged, too. I expect to see you claiming vindication at the end of Trump’s second term.
Well that’s it then.
The 22nd Amendment will be repealed and he’ll be declared Maximum Leader For Life by unanimous vote.
You have to hope that is the case. The corruption underpinning the mueller junket is so blatant, so obvious that there must be a wider purpose in not just wading in now (or 6 months ago) and firing and prosecuting all of the bastards.
Before m0nty screams tgat fascists are not of the left, let me set out the spectrum (to the extent that a binary left-right spectrum has any real value).
Starting from the extreme left, we have the anarchists, then the communist left, then the fascist left, then the centre (an area but minimally occupied), then conservatives, then libertarians.
The main purpose to which the left puts the centre is camouflage. When a lefty describes themself as “centre left”, it really means a fondness for fascist policies (control of individual behaviour, statism, corporate capitalism, cronyism), but wishes to avoid the title of “fascist”.
Here endeth the lesson.
Wow.
Looks like William Connolley got to it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_weather#Terrestrial_weather
Sure, now explain how lightning and clouds form without that link. The earth and sun are in a magnetic equilibrium as well as a gravitational one.
Sessions has come if for a lot of flack and I’ve been on the fence about him all along while keeping some kind of faith. I hope it’s not misplaced. I can’t imagine he is deep state , he only just squeaked in at his confirmation. The way is open for Trump to legally declass documents if laws have been broken or concealing criminal behaviour. And misleading the FISC is absolutely illegal. It may well be that even though Sessions is recused from the Russia investigation it does not stop him investigating FISC court abuse. If that is the case, Sessions will have had plenty of time to prepare such a case.
Lots of ifs and maybes. Hopefully all the holes in the swiss cheese are about to line up.

As I said yesterday: Who is “Gools”?
The timing is the issue, OCO. It’s always been about the timing.
Something doesn’t gel with Trump’s anti Sessions attacks. At the back of my mind, I keep thinking there’s a game being played with Sessions being made to appear to be bad cop.
Trump has played these calculated games before too, such as the first time he tweeted Trump Tower had been bugged. He made the deep state gang deny it and then they hysterically began to back peddle as the evidence came out.
It went from
1.Trump is crazy to suggest this. He’s a bozo.
2. “it was all about wussia why we had to bug Trump Tower,
3. Trump is a Wussian client and the dossier proves it”
4. Trump’s kid met with a Wussian lawyer.
This is one of the most hysterical face plants in modern political history.
At the back of my mind, I also continue to think Mueller is not necessarily Trump’s enemy. Mueller has been lauded throughout this investigation by the D’rats. What happens if he begins indicting a host of D’rat operatives and finds no Wussian collushion in the Trump campaign, while perhaps (ruler) slapping Trump over the Comey firing as not necessarily being obstructive, but that in future the president has to be careful not to give the impression of obstruction?
I don’t think this line can be ruled out. It may not be the current prevailing wisdom though and I wouldn’t bank on it. However, at high odds it could be a decent bet.
Mueller also tapped a large gaggle of D’rats. That was so obvious, but why?
What if one of the reasons was to take these fuckers out of play for when D’rats were looking for legal representation? One dude has suggested this.
Sure , this is all empty speculation and theorizing and thinking out loud.
Zippy at 1537
Anarchists have a fondness for dressing up in black and beating up random people in the streets. They are lefties.
Here’s the thing. One thing we’ve learned about Trump is that what may appear to be bluster and hotair has a knack of turning out to be something different. Everything the fucker does appears to be calculated, as we’ve seen time and time again, much to his enemies despair.

There’s bad news for crops coming in the next few days for crops in Northern Vic as the temps stayed at below frost point for over 10 hours last night.
Combined with dry soils this will cause stem freeze in cereals that partially or totally destroys the plants ability to feed the emerging head.

He’s often asked if farmers have insurance to cover events like this and he always responds that they do, but their job is to feed people and insurance doesn’t cover that.
“The insurance doesn’t feed the world and although it does protect the farmers, we really, truly do love to harvest a beautiful crop,” he said.
That’s the Canadian multi peril insurance scheme supported by government and has been around for decades.
Our governments have said no to the scheme. More wind power and panels for them.

Wouldn’t it be karma of epic proportions if President Trump uses Obama’s own executive order to declassify the FISA docs…
So just another form of subsidy for North American farmers then? If insurance isn’t being provided wholly by the private sector you can assume it it uneconomic and the true cost of protection is being borne by someone else, probably the mug taxpayer.
It’s a BMW 4. No choice but run-flats.
I have multi peril insurance JC.
It’s very small scale in Australia due to the risk factors and the insurance industry are really just dipping their toes in the water to see if it’s viable.
Our cover is for costs but that is a heap load better than trying to scavenge returns by cutting thin crops for hay and exposing your soils to erosion damage.
The hay salvage job will start a lot sooner than we all thought.
With the failed crops being cut now, will that alleviate the hay shortages in any way? Also, will it mean an increase in the amount of feed grain?
Will there be enough to last until autumn/winter rains next year?

Not really HB.
The initial pool funds were guaranteed by Provincial governments but once the scheme got going and funds built up, then it became self sustaining.
It’s better to have farmers insuring than have pollies playing Santa for photo ops during weather disasters in my opinion.
We’re not very smart in Australia.

“As a deeply religious person, it’s also unchristian to me” to not allow women to have abortions.
With the failed crops being cut now, will that alleviate the hay shortages in any way? Also, will it mean an increase in the amount of feed grain?
Will there be enough to last until autumn/winter rains next year?
Sort of but not really.
There is little density in Northern crops, so the hay yield will be low but there will be hay around as opposed to none at the moment.
Feed grade grain usually results from weather downgrades at harvest. The crops are too young at the moment and the grain has barely formed at all.

Michael Moore’s Latest Conspiracy Theory: Maybe ‘Trump Wrote’ the Anonymous NYT Op-Ed

What percentage of farmers live without any access to say underground water, dams or channels etc
In addition to Gez’s reply, I can say that during our extensive (and prolonged) travels around Australia, I would estimate approx 70% of farms do not have that access. Many have a farm damn or two, but they are for stock or house gardens.
Most farmers are at the mercy of Gaia. The clever ones know how to maximise the good years to see them through the bad.
Australia is just to dry for widespread rain fed irrigation systems on farm JC.
Tassie is the place for that.
Most underground water in Australia is way too salty for irrigation.
Am I paranoid, or could (reputable brand) try to drum up business?
People always say to me “Stimp, you’re crazy, you’re paranoid, you’re psychotic, etc etc. ”
Just ignore these people.
What do they know.
You are definitely crazy for paying $400 to buy a new tire though.
That is insane.
Stop driving Nazi cars man!
Climate NAZI at work worried that all the (land based) ice will melt.
If so, we’d get our “inland sea” (again?).
https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2013/09/rising-seas-ice-melt-new-shoreline-maps/
The maps here show the world as it is now, with only one difference: All the ice on land has melted and drained into the sea, raising it 216 feet and creating new shorelines for our continents and inland seas.
So much for Robyn 100m Williams.
The Q Anon/Speedogate stuff is about as credible as Diane Feinstein.
The real question Dot, is this:
Is Qanon more believable than Libertarianism?
Fuuuuucccckkk!
NYT is blaming “climate change” for the typhoon that hit the Philippines and Hong Kong.
Yawn.
There is little density in Northern crops
We have spent the last (almost) month on Yorke Peninsula, SA*. Rainfall has been below average, but the wheat, barley and canola crops are dense and lush, with good seed heads forming and canola not far off harvesting.
There has been very little rain while we’ve been here, but some wild winds (usually accompanied by a sprinkle or two.) Also, not many frosts. My question: are the crops still at risk? If so, what is the greatest threat?
*Three interstate TV channels and only the local paper available. Hence my renewed subscription to The $Oz.
Fuuuuucccckkk!
Spot on JC.
Australia is a shit a shit place to farm. Three or four mid-west US states would out produce the whole of Australia.
I double shitted there but you get the point.

I think the actual arrests won’t be this much fun to watch but…
Arrests are coming!
Every UG and a lot of OC miners in Australia know this. The water is so dense and hard, spillage of it in meaningful quantities over native landscapes becomes an environmental hazard/incident to be reported to the Govt authorities.
The Yorke peninsular is very reliable Delta.
Sea all around and plenty of showers coming off the water. Frost is a rare event for them.

It’s a beauty Anne, I just watched it an hour or so ago.
Now just finished watching this vid that gets funnier the older it gets.
