Liberty Quote
A society that robs an individual of the product of his effort … is not strictly speaking a society, but a mob held together by institutionalized gang violence.

That’s one way to write them! Pia Muehlenbeck breaks down into tears as she writes her wedding vows while sunbathing TOPLESS
She’s marrying the love of her life next week in a romantic ceremony in Byron Bay.
And on Friday, Instagram sensation Pia Muehlenbeck wrote her wedding vows while sunbathing topless.
The 26-year-old former lawyer stripped off into G-string bikini bottoms and could be seen crying as she penned what is no doubt an emotional tribute to soon-to-be husband, Kane Vato.
The MSM calls anything a gaffe that disagrees with their particular set of beliefs.
Intentionally saying AGW is a load of codswallop is a ‘gaffe’ as far as they are concerned.
I think the re-boot or Murphy Brown a wonderful metaphor – for the press: The network bought it out to trash Trump. Instead ordinary people told them to go stick it where the network thinks the sun shines.

Electric cars in China secretly send location information to government-backed surveillance centres
Over 200 car manufacturers are sending real-time location information and dozens of other data points from electric vehicles in China to surveillance centres backed by the country’s government.
he move — which comes as President Xi Jinping steps up the use of technology to track Chinese citizens — potentially adds to the rich kit of surveillance tools available to the Chinese Government.
Manufacturers including Tesla, Volkswagen, BMW, Daimler, Ford, General Motors, Nissan, Mitsubishi and NIO are among those transmitting position information and dozens of other data points to government-backed monitoring centres.
Generally, it happens without car owners’ knowledge.

How do you stop a bad guy with a gun when there’s no good guy with a gun around? Maybe throw a hockey puck at him.
A university in suburban Detroit is distributing hockey pucks as a form of self-defense against potential active shooters, according to reports.
Because Oakland University has a no-weapons policy, university police Chief Mark Gordon suggested using a hockey puck to distract a shooter.
“The first thing that came to my mind was a hockey puck. I was a hockey coach for my kids growing up. I remember getting hit in the head with a hockey puck once and it hurt,” university police Chief Mark Gordon told Detroit’s FOX 2.

This is exactly the purpose of the Mueller scam- open the investigation for the purpose of preventing public disclosure on anything to do with the FISA court applications that show corruption in the CIA/FBI/DOJ trying to spy on and then set up Trump.

Gavin McInnes banned from Australia (from ABC):
Right-wing provocateur and founder of the Proud Boys group Gavin McInnes has had his visa application blocked by the Home Affairs Department, failing the character test to enter Australia.
Key points:
Mr McInnes was due in Australia for a speaking tour early next year
The Federal Government notified him earlier this month it was likely to deny him a visa
Immigration officials deemed he had failed a “character test” based on extreme views
Critics of Mr McInnes were urging the department and Immigration Minister David Coleman to ban him from travelling to Australia for a speaking tour next year, concerned about his extreme views and promotion of violence.
The ABC understands Mr McInnes was notified a few weeks ago that the department was likely to block his visa application because he was judged to be of bad character, and the formal window for him to appeal closed today.
Mr McInnes cut ties with the Proud Boys group earlier this month. The group, which Mr McInnes has previously labelled a “gang”, describes itself as a men’s organisation, committed to upholding “Western chauvinist values”.
The FBI designated them as an extremist organisation.
Yesterday, a petition of 81,000 signatures was delivered to Federal Parliament calling on the Government to block Mr McInnes from entering the country.
Petition organiser Nyadol Nyuon, upon hearing the news that Mr McInnes had been denied a visa, offered “credit and thanks” to the Immigration Minister.
Ms Nyuon was joined by Indigenous leader Marcia Langton, community activists, lawyers and Labor MPs in delivering the petition to Parliament House.
Mr McInnes and UK activist Tommy Robinson were due to tour their The Deplorables speaking tour to Australia in February.
The tour of Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth and the Gold Coast was scheduled for December, but had been delayed.
The ABC is unaware of the visa status of Mr Robinson.
The Proud Boys list their values as including being against political correctness, racial guilt and racism, while promoting free speech and gun rights.
But they have been widely criticised as promoting violence against people who do not share their views.

Everyone has moved on from the LP. It just needs to die.
It calls on a Shorten government to “transfer all refugees and people seeking asylum to either New Zealand, the US”, a safe third country that is acceptable to the refugee, or bring them to Australia.
No prizes for guessing which country most will choose if given the option.
Given the current politically correct climate, I’d say those numbers are on the low side. They are the number of people who are brave enough to say they believe theses things.
Lack of excitement can be a good thing, as some of the local birds eat cars.

Let’s see the bounce in the polls based on this decision. No doubt weird beard Abdul will have seen this whilst he was at the cafe next door to centrelink and decided to vote liberal. No doubt.
No doubt 25 years old barista Jessie will now switch from Greens to Liberal.
No doubt journalism student Rhylee will switch from Socialist alliance to libs and blog about it.
So many votes won by this principled decision.
At least the dying days of the Gillard shambles was comical. Morrison’s government is already over. He might as well hand it to Bishop and watch it burn.
Protip: if you start a sentence with these words, you should have a good hard look at yourself in the hall of mirrors.

It was a distant war insofar as it was in an obscure part of south-east Asia, but one with immediate consequences for those high-school students. If nothing else, some students — or their brothers — faced conscription and potential death on the Mekong Delta or the jungles of Nui Dat; let alone complicity in a colonial war that was leading to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent people.
Whereas the Communists supported and supplied by China and the USSR were winning the war with heart shaped chocolates and flowers.
I wonder what sort of superannuated hippy is writing this drivel?

There was one of those birds sitting on the deck of the US Intrepid in NY harbor. I saw it a long time ago. The outer skin was as flimsy as hell and the cockpit would not have suited anyone who suffers claustrophobia. The engines looked fantastic though. Basically it was a flimsy tin can sitting in front of two massive engines.

How is it possible that Trump did something illegal in exploring a potential build in Moscow?
NRO’s Andy McCarthy has a good piece and he reckons the Don jnr Trump Tower meeting with the Russian bimbo is now front and centre of the Mueller rap. Interestingly, McCarthy reckons the meeting was a Putin setup in an attempt to compromise Trump down the track. He could use the meeting to gain leverage against Trump.
But even here, nothing came out of that and it looks like the Trump team figured out what the Russians were up to straight after.
He’s always a good read.
I wish we had strikes when I was at school. I’ve never really had the opportunity to be a scab.
I did have the opportunity to cross a picket line during a part time Uni job delivering freezers for a multi-national ice-cream company. The Toilet Cleaners and Bum Wipers Union were on strike at a high school down near Rockingham and had one of those Up the Workers murals from the artist in residence stretched across the delivery road. I did contemplate driving my little Toyota flat top ute through it Blues Brothers style but figured this may not be a good career move and might make the 6pm news.
So I turned around and drove back to base. Picked up a few spoiled Cornettos and went home. Chris Corrigan would be disappointed.

Picked up a few spoiled Cornettos and went home.
I saw what you let through there Bear.
So you got to take home the spoiled ice creams.
Just how many ice creams can a man eat in one day.
Then again, I could be casting nasturtiums.
For me, about 10.
Makka – I could see myself getting a call from the London head office. No-one wants that.
The spoiled ice-creams were a general bonus. We just used to deliver the freezers then the usual vans filled them up. After a while you got sick of all the ice-creams, although you could usually manage to find room for some mango ripple or one of the choc ice-cream cakes.
A Dem DoJ setup actually. The incentive was the FISA scam and the need to keep a whole swag of high level Dems out of Levenworth (and whatever place they put the females).
Been known for months. Trump can’t move until he has an AG willing to do his job. Unfortunately Huber either isn’t or is taking ‘way too long.
Lets start a company called, White Guys Code.
In the Elevator With Black Girls Code CEO Kimberly Bryant
Odds for the 2020 Presidential election on Sportsbet can be found here.
Trump is at 2.55 but the next 6 are Democrats starting with Kamala Harris at 7.5 until Bernie Sanders at 21,
followed by Pence at 21. After him its 8 Democrats until Ted Cruz at 34.
Despite Trump being the shortest odds my take is that the markets are betting on a Democrat taking the White House but they have no idea which one.
Michael Kroger quits as Victorian Liberal Party president
That is excellent news. Years too late, but still excellent news.
Trump has really fucked the blue states. Totally fucked them with the state, city and property tax limit one can charge off against federal taxes. It’s the equivalent a morgue.

Why do you care, Gools. You’re a Liars party or Green supporter. Shut up and get back in the basement.
IT – I think he wants the Broncos to sack him. The Broncos would of sacked him now if his name wasn’t Wayne Bennett. They have heaps of cash. I think Bennett is past it and needs to retire. The Broncos management has handled this poorly. They missed Bellamy and they’ve taken a risk with Seibold.
Yes I think Bennett has turned into a cockhead. Since the Mackinnon paralysis he has changed. He’s dumped the missus and taken up with a much younger woman. His teams have become undisciplined in the last 2 to 3 seasons. A bit like him. The most decent thing he has done in the past couple of years is recruit those young islanders but that has risks as well. They might turn into great footballers but they are undisciplined at the moment and don’t like to tackle. They need Gillett back fully fit. He adds a lot.
Events of the last 2 days could well mark the beginning of the end for the PGiCs presidency.
My tip, at the moment, is for Kirsten Gillibrand to become the first female President in 2020.
“could”?
LOL.

Great video, great expose by Avi Yemeni there of so much gross ignorance on the hoof. The kids can possibly be excused, but not the adults. As for the “scientist” or whatever he was who couldn’t even answer the simple questions – go home bozo, and start reading. And quite obviously the young fellow at the end “doesn’t do economics”, although it takes only common sense to understand that “renewables” are not “getting cheaper and cheaper”, they’re just being subsidise to the hilt by every nett taxpayer, and becoming more expensive to consumers as well.
The young are indeed the future, but geez, a bit of a reality check wouldn’t go astray, and the rest of us are still well and truly here too. We ain’t popped our clogs just yet, kids!

The D’rats are a minority party conglomeration with some white nutballs supporting it, Gools. Gillibrand is white, so no chance.
Agree that at 20:1 the odds for Pence are attractive if Trump is out of the race for whatever reason. Of course that is a big if.
It was a Democrat Party setup, to gain leverage against Trump.
Proof:
* Natalia Veselnitskaya was granted special immigration parole, and neither Trump nor Putin could have organized that.
* Veselnitskaya met with Glenn Simpson of Fusion GPS shortly before the Trump tower meeting… totally unrelated to Putin but closely related to the Democrat Party.
* Veselnitskaya spent time at the Washington offices of Cozen O’Connor… again do the search and follow the links on that one.
* Bill Clinton got a bunch of extraordinary speaking fees including half a million USD for a one-hour speech in Moscow that happened to closely coincide with activities of Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State.
* In June 2010 Bill Clinton Met with Russia leader Vladimir Putin, at Putin’s private homestead (about the same time as the half mill speaking fee).
* The Clinton Foundation picks up a total of $145 million in donations from various Russian interests related to Uranium One.
* SJW’s always accuse you of whatever they have been doing.
Vicpol can apparently ‘move on’ a guy with a microphone because he’s supposedly disturbing the peace but they can’t ‘move on’ a riotous, violent crowd out the front of a public event (Southern/Molyneux) even when they physically attack attendees.
What a toilet this country is.
I see our “conservative” Liberal government today hammered another nail into the coffin of speech. And to think in a few month’s time you will all be voting for them.

There was one of those birds sitting on the deck of the US Intrepid in NY harbor. I saw it a long time ago. The outer skin was as flimsy as hell and the cockpit would not have suited anyone who suffers claustrophobia. The engines looked fantastic though. Basically it was a flimsy tin can sitting in front of two massive engines.
Story which might or might not be true from the 1970s.
Blackbird at around 100,000 feet and 2000 knots suffered a double flame out. As it glided down, the engine nacelles cooled and contracted faster than the turbine blades, producing the world’s most expensive sparkler!
Give it a rest, MV. I generally like your input but we’re all, more or less, on the same side and snark isn’t going to miraculously give us a decent major party nor will it allow us to change the system.
I don’t so a lot of cheerleading for the LNP around here.

What happened, MV? Not being sarcastic; an honest question.
In other news, Trolley Man is back behind bars. Already.
Sighs.
From the Oz. Vook, I thought for a few minutes they were blaming the election of Donald Trump.
If you put the Lib/Lab last and second last in whatever order on your vote, then the ONLY time those two preferences come into play for your vote is if your electorate comes down to the point where all other candidates are kicked out and it’s very close and we are down to just those two options. That’s a mathematical fact, it’s how our voting system works.
Now just tell me, if it does come down to a close call and there weren’t enough votes for any of the other options, then would you be happier with no input to the decision (one of them will win anyway) or some small input to the decision (and you might slightly influence who wins but it will be one of those two)? Go on, what would you like?
Since the ALP almost always win in my electorate, if I put them last then I can ABSOLUTELY GUARANTEE that I will not be voting for them. Why is this difficult? Don’t make me cry about the state of humanity, just leave me with some small positive thought for the weekend.
There was a Concorde sitting on the USS Intrepid deck when our cruise liner parked next to it at the downtown Manhattan Cruise Terminal. We looked down on it from our stateroom.
Googling around today I read (in Time in the forties) a doctor saying Scotch was one of the most effective painkillers but doctors didn’t prescribe it any more (as they had previously) out of squeamishness. It was even more effective when you used it to wash down some aspirin.
I’ve found it useful on occasions – without the aspirin.
He also said there was a risk of addiction, but it was less than the risk of morphine addiction.
I am, Mater. I’m retired, and too old for any of it to affect me much anymore. So in a perverse sort of way it’s fun sitting back watching the slow motion train wreck as it occurs, while you people sit around moaning about it, but refusing to actually do anything. Or even try.
Just remember to “vote Liberal ‘coz at least they’re not Labor”.
Although it baffles me how you can distinguish a difference anymore.
shock horror!
Asian ticks have arrived in the United States, and they’ve brought disease with them
Which is precisely what happens approximately 145 times out of 150 seats every election.
So, don’t worry ,be happy.
That’s crap.
Most of them win soundly on first preferences. Try again.
http://australianpolitics.com/voting/preferential/how-important-are-preferences-in-australian-elections
There you go, in 15 seats out of 150, the preferences made enough difference to push against the primary vote and swing it.
That’s not trivial, but it’s hardly the normal situation.
I might point out that we don’t know how deeply into the preferences they got before declaring a winner, because the AEC don’t publish that, but I doubt it got further than Greens preferences since these cases usually go ALP.
The tears and lamentations will begin in the first term of a Shorten Government, when a wealth tax, and death duties are introduced, and the little snowflakes discover there will be no big inheritance….Suffer in your jocks, princesses, you voted for them.
Anyone watching mundine v Horn?
A nice piece of stop-motion cinematography. 18 mins.
Mechanical engineers should smile at the detail. CGI free.
I bear Anthony Mundine no personal animosity, but if he gets his block knocked off, it’s a good outcome.
Chicom peoples liberation army fentanyl, channeling into America through the Mexican cartels.
Organised crime in Australia is riding the wealth Ponzi to superprofit from expensive illegal drugs.
Once marijuana is legalised and the property Ponzi unwinds and credit evaporates, their peoples liberation army will move to the El cheapo fentanyl to undercut the competition in Australia as well.
Comrade maaaaates.
Not sure about that. A heap of Liars get over the line with Greens preferences. Wayne Goosesteen never won his seat on first preferences.
Anthony Mundine
@Anthony_Mundine
I wanna thank everybody for there good luck wishes etc I’m ready & gonna give it my all for victory god willing we both are safe & well after !
He is a tool! He plays the political card … and the victim card as well. Will he respectfully acknowledge our national anthem?
The tears and lamentations will begin in the first term of a Shorten Government, when a wealth tax, and death duties are introduced, and the little snowflakes discover there will be no big inheritance….Suffer in your jocks, princesses, you voted for them.
I tend to agree with that scenario, but it’s more long term.
On the whole I think the first asylum seeker boat arriving will send the polls into a tailspin for ALP.
I think Bill Shorten will be sweating on that, more than anything. He knows the score. It crushed J. Gillard.
Anyone watching mundine v Horn?
Is it on free to air? I can’t find it. Will tune into the radio.
He’s already said he won’t.
Elle, in Brisbane it’s on the am band. Should be same in Sydney.
9.30 scheduled fight time.
I think Mundine might take it the distance.
I like Gorka.
Sports Radio in capital cities.
Macquarie Sports Radio.
Ray Hadley calling it. You like him, Elle.
Gorka is damn right about the culture.
954 in Sydney. 10pm news now.
It might surprise you that quite a few people from the site are out ‘doing things’, with much risk to their reputations, employment prospects and financial/family wellbeing.
Just because they don’t bring it on here and ‘out’ themselves, doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. Effectiveness is beside the point but then you had your setbacks, also.
The risks associated with political activism nowadays, certainty on our side, is significant and just drawing a big cock and balls on a ballot paper is not going cut it.
All I’m saying is that this is probably the last place to start scattering blame for our current political situation and it’s a real downer for the support group ‘vibe’.
C’mon, join Team Catallaxy! 😉
10:30 Sydney, of course.
Because it’s Friday and we’ve been terribly sewious all week:
http://www.metacafe.com/watch/7219542/the_crimson_permanent_assurance/
Tel, I’m not sure if you need a remedial course in English, or arithmetic.
At 9.30pm you stated that –
“That’s crap.
Most of them win soundly on first preferences. Try again.”
There are 150 seats. “Most” at the very least means more than half. That would mean 75+ seats.
However, just five minutes later, you admit that only 35% of seats were decided on first preferences. The rest required allocating the second or more preferences. In other words, only 53 seats were decided on first preferences, and the rest – 97 – relied on preferences.
Make up your mind.
It’s a shame Mundine is a dick.
He should rightfully be considered one of the greatest sportsmen Australia has produced.
Sorry MV, I responded but I’m in moderation.
He’s already said he won’t.
I know. I want to see if he follows through with it.
I work with a relative of Anthony Mundine, who highly respects WM, but disrespects the likes of Warren Mundine and Jacinta Price.
What is the mathematical equation there?
I think the fight starts at 10:30pm Sydney time.
We must prepare the ground in case we face fifty years of global left wing totalitarianism.
We must build a conservative counter culture now.
Conservatism must be sexy and subversive and dangerous.
Gorka puts it wonderfully.
Oh ok! Thanks guys. Will tune in.
Outlaw King tonight on Netflix.
Hopefully better than Outlander.
Bloody Scots gits.
*sorry – should read – highly respects Anthony Mundine not Warren Mundine.
Thanks for the heads up, Mater. I’ll keep an eye out for it.
To that end, about what time did you post ot?
Kroger has resigned but Libs have $35. million in bank and continuing income from the trust..
The average Australian is going to get hit by a speeding train after the next election, regardless of which mob Wins it, Zulu. And it will be the last election anything remotely like what we are used to. After that it will be virtually impossible for anybody other than the Big Three (Libs, Labor, Nats), to even contest elections. It’s action time now, folks. Or never.
Macquarie Sports Radio.
Ray Hadley calling it. You like him, Elle.
Do I? I must have been intoxicated when I expressed my like for him. Though he can be appealing in an aggressive, opinionated, somewhat conservative and libertarian kind of way.
Oooh, he has to be a Cat reader and/or contributor. If so, I do like the guy.
The fight is about to start!
This one’s for Top Ender.
Two incidents, from the Cleaver books on the Pacific War, I posted about last night.
Kamikaze aircraft hit an American aircraft carrier. Nearly four hundred casualties. Damage control parties were cleaning up, when they discovered that someone had taken advantage of the confusion to cut open every safety deposit box in the ship’s post office, and steal all the money therein. The thief was never identified.
Japanese unit listened to the recording of the Emperor reading the Imperial rescript announcing the “the war situation had developed not necessarily to Japans advantage.” They took an Allied POW from his cell, beheaded him, and burned his body. The commanding officer of the unit, and the swordsman were later hanged as war criminals.
Highly recommend both titles.
10:02 MV but don’t wait up for it. It’s not THAT profound.
I think the last undercard fight is still going.
Won’t start for while.
Firstly you have conveniently forgotten your own totally wrong statement “Which is precisely what happens approximately 145 times out of 150 seats every election,” in order to focus down on some semantic nitpickery so I already know you aren’t interested in genuinely getting to the bottom of this. I don’t really care what you personally feel about some strange morality of compulsory preference voting. I just don’t appreciate you spreading misinformation about how voting works and wasting people’s time trying to argue there’s a problem with the voting system instead of looking at the real problem which is people not understanding how to use their preferences to good effect.
Secondly, the 35% per won OUTRIGHT on first preferences, in as much as second preferences didn’t even get a look in, but amongst the remaining 65% the first preference still won the day most of the time, but by a narrow margin while second and other preferences split in a way that didn’t make any significant difference. They needed to at least look at the second preferences, but it had no effect on the outcome. So overall 90% of cases follows the first preference. That’s almost all of them.
The moral of the story is that you win an election by getting a hefty first preference vote. You can occasionally beat that, and the most significant case in question is Green preferences flowing to ALP, and that’s basically a known preference flow that no one anywhere is surprised by. The reason Lib/Lab is powerful comes entirely from their chunky first preference slice of the voter pool. If even maybe 20% of those started actively using their first preference to send a message then outcomes might change.
If you want to do something beneficial to improve the world, start getting more people moving their first preference to a minor party, even if they do put a major as second preference, even if the major eventually wins. Make them work for the vote instead of taking it for granted. That’s how you achieve leverage.
Going around telling people to throw away their vote is just unhelpful.
Ok. Thanks, mh. Anticipation!
No we won’t. The SYSTEM setup by those parties will mean we end up voting for them. Kind of like the way I have absolutely no say in how my tax money ends up in the pockets of Muhammad and his 40 wives in Lakemba.
Just been up at the S******* Bowling Club WA men’s club triples finals, and was pleasantly surprised to find the cold night (13 in a row very cold for now) has seen a distinct attitude make its voice heard, it seems with today’s student strike is the catalyst.
Basically anger at the use of kids as political tools in what is a giant hoax being ?? Climate orange bad! Large group of angry members. Conservative area with some precautionary principle crew normally though, but even I was suprised at the solidarity. I was invited to tea for my conservative values. Hope is alive.
Petition organiser Nyadol Nyuon, upon hearing the news that Mr McInnes had been denied a visa, offered “credit and thanks” to the Immigration Minister.
This is why that name is familiar
If it was worth your time to bother posting it, it is deserves my time to try and make the effort to read it, Mater.
..
They will all be fertilising memorial gardens soon.
Those climate kiddies are the future.
You old codgers missed the chance.
OMFG. There is still one more fight before the main event. Farkin ell, how annoying.
They are saying 10.30 local time at the earliest.
He has an abundance of fast twitch fibres in his hamstrings and biceps.
Alas, there are no such fibres in his cerebrum.
Lol Arky, missed the bus.
I saw Mundine fight once. Man he was fast.
The sad thing about Choc is that he only went down the muzzie fuckwit route because he idolised Ali so much.
Like most Australians he wasn’t smart enough to forge his own identity and just aped American culture.
A shame because he is truly brilliant sportsmen and a very good person when not acting out for the media.
DG, are you in WA?
If Mundine had only of boxed he could have been our greatest ever boxer.
How pathetic is this getting:
Mueller stalks Trump abroad — again
https://www.politico.com/story/2018/11/29/trump-mueller-russia-probe-g20-summit-michael-cohen-1034193
No Bruce.
But I have never met one of you lot who wasn’t a rough as guts lovable whoremonger.
Say what you will about Mundine but the nation is still fascinated about an old guy 10 years past his prime.
I hope he kills that tranny loving Horn. Really mangles his face up proper and good.
I couldn’t think of a word to finish that last sentence.
Ah, whoremonger will have to do.
Horn likes transistor radios?
Slut enabler.
Don’t have a link, but the front page of the Oz is now featuring children of FOUR YEARS of age at KINDERGARTEN, holding up signs protesting the detention of children.
SHUT IT DOWN!
FIRE THEM ALL!
The gos is that Mundine will either not enter the ring while the National Anthem is playing or he will get down on one knee.
*goss
He will go down on one knee, at the conclusion of the fight. Before he gets rearranged.
From the Sydney Morning Homosexual:
Rees Mogg pounds May in that video.
More likely pounding her behind the speakers chair.
What has he actually done that will remove May?
Tel,
You stated your case clearly and succinctly at 9.15pm.
Cutting through all the crap, what you wrote was “put Labor last”
Apparently you consider this A Good Thing. because they will never get your vote.
However, if the sitting member is a Liberal, voting against them in exactly the same way for exactly the same reason is A Bad Thing.
In other words, you promote “vote Liberal ‘coz at least they’re not Labor”.
Thank you, professor.
Whew. Somehow, after a reload, my handle changed and posted my full name into the site. Fortunately, Professor Davidson snagged it and deleted it. Thank you!
DG, you flatter me, you sweetie you … but I am happily married.
Mmmmwah!
If Choc wins this fight, that’s the end of trannie card ‘girls’. That’s reason enough to support him.
Horn and Mundine are just about ready for bed.
Utterly ridiculous.
For those interested, undercard just finished. Main fight coming up here: https://www.sportsradio.com.au/
There are no great boxers in Australia and haven’t been for a long time.
Mundine and Horn are YMCA plonkers in the US.
If you are in Sydney it will be summer when this fight takes place.
If it was on free to air the fight would have started 7.30 local time, 8.30 Sydney. Because it’s pay per view they don’t give a toss.
Winner

LOL.
Mundine entering to Muslim chant.
What a dickhead.
Oh God.
Islam + Yothu Yindi.
Can’t stand Mundine. Have no idea who Horn is. Just hope Horn smacks Mundine proper and good.
Islam turns you into a dick head. Yes we know that Mundine.
No national anthem.
None, Jeff Horn is a great Aussie guy.
Some info. Check out his personal info.
I read your post, Mater.
Let’s just agree to disagree and leave it at that?
I’ll be interested to see what effect you can have, without actually telling anybody anything.
Mundine down.
All over.
Ahahahahahahahaha.
Embarrassing for Australia.
All over after 1m30s. Horn wins by knockout. FMD.
I was one of the idiots who fell for the scam and paid up.
All sorted now, although they do have my mobile number and keep calling offering another “fix” if I would just gIve them access to my computer.
I usually leave them listening to my radio until they finally hang up.
From now on I will offer to have them transferred to the Dehli Cyber Crime Unit.
The only people embarrassed should be those who paid any money to watch this.
Bwahahahahaha!
Gotta respect Mundine. Fasted so he could make the weight and not lose $500k and then dogs it.
Cashed in on idiots.
Ray Hadley flew up there to call the fight.
Waste of time.
The spectators who paid good money will feel dudded.
Mundine would have won if only…….
At least we were spared the Trannie card ‘girls’. On the down side they’re now going to be a permanent fixture.
Smart stuff from Choc.
Made a couple of mill and only had to diet to do so.
He maybe a coxkhead, but boy knows how to bank coin.
Does this mean that “white privilege” does rule, after all?
Haha just read a tweet from some guy saying Mundine is a great champion but he was betting on Horn to won by a Knockout. I come back here and I find knockout, really in 1 minute 30 seconds? Really that’s f****** fantastic.
Horn may now know the weight he should be fighting at.
Could benefit if he gets another trainer, too.
Shove that up your arse, sports marketing geniuses.
Yay Horn!! Great story – his life. Check it out.
I have no time for Anthony Mundine . I do for his relative – Warren Mundine. One is a victim. The other is not.
“Knock out”.
Yeah right.
Someone got to Mundine’s wiki already-
This thing made a dent in human history. And it is growing again.
For those who may have missed it.
Nah, I’m not buying that Mundine sacrificed himself for the money and that’s he’s ‘smart.’
He wanted to win.
I will give Mundine credit for doing what normal everyday white men used to do (up until five minutes ago). Namely, excoriate the gay lobby for their evil malice and lies. Mind you, Choc has a black man’s pass to say pretty much anything. Still, good on him for that.
I am yet to see visual and audio. Did Mundine respect the National Anthem?
Meanwhile back to the other scam

H0w is it possible boxing hasn’t been banned in modern day Australia.
H0w is it possible boxing hasn’t been banned in modern day Australia.
Hinch and Phelps will be right onto this now you have prompted them.
Elle-
Warren Mundine is not a victim… but he’s a carpetbagger.
His memoir- and it’s lack of editing and self-awareness- is revealing.
Horn’s hard as nails. 4o odd-year old Mundine had no hope. He’s a Warner scale idiot.
TheirABC:
Thanks Zulu – appreciated…
Very fine musical craftsmanship.
Another great day for Australian boxing. Right up there with some Danny Green classics
“Petition organiser Nyadol Nyuon, upon hearing the news that Mr McInnes had been denied a visa, offered “credit and thanks” to the Immigration Minister.”
Why was this person ever allowed to immigrate? I’m sure we have enough lawyers.
