Liberty Quote
Government has lost its way. Since abandoning its role as an impartial player in society it has taken to abusing the trust civil society invests in government. The corresponding abuse of evidence based policy should alarm everyone with an interest in good policy.

Old news and never a biggie in any case. Trump can pardon himself doncha know.
The really big news is that mOrons like you and the Dems have drawn the US electorate’s attention full on to the stupid left’s outright contempt for border security, disdain for their own US citizens and their inhumane treatment of children. That’s a mid-term trifecta GOP WIN right there. Trump can’t stop grinning.

Indian shit products and shit service continues.
I discovered years ago the only thing worse than Chinese shit is Indian shit.
Their metallurgy leaves quite a bit to be desired.
The (Toowoomba) Southern Cross Foundry thought they’d be smart and set up a large foundry in India.
Only to find out that the Indian workers just walk away when there’s a problem.
Cost Southern Cross (or Toowooma Foundry – whatever the name was then) $90+ million and sent them broke. A Bunnings now stands on their old foundry site.
Remember when the ALPBC breathlessly exclaimed that Mainland Tasmania was being wholly powered by windmills for about 5 minutes a while back? I wonder if they will run a similar story today on how the failed state was wholly powered by gas and coal with over 25% of demand being sucked straight over the border from Victoriastan? The ghost of Weatherdildo lives.

Turn all the electrics on cats! Bring the bastard of a system down.

I didn’t stick around for Chris Reason to point out that Telstra uses vast amounts of electricity which the crazy socialists in government have made enormously more expensive. Somehow I suspect he will have forgotten to mention this small fact.

You really have to be very, very efficient in the sector these days. I moved over to an Iphone X a few months back and was offered free calls domestically, the US, UK , NZ and a couple of places in the region. The margins are very scarce and only a very good CEO plus team would be able to navigate those waters profitably. Andy Penn and his dickhead chairman aren’t the people.

Bolt’s bowtie spinning over Hungary’s crackdown on Soros front groups –
Oh please. Working with fake NGOs to facilitate illegal immigration, is not “free speech”, you stiff.
Here is what Bolt is objecting to –
I see nothing wrong with any of that at all. There is no such thing as a “right” to support open borders.
It gets even better!
Brilliant. So it is now illegal under Hungary’s constitution for any government to engage in deliberate population replacement. No Leftist party will ever win an election again!

I would really like to see some consequences to these lefties bastards soon.
Got caught out at Riverton Woolies this arvo. So I went to their F&V and tore off 4 bags. Took them with me to the 8 items checkout. Where I put one inside the other to make 2 serviceable bags for my 7 items. And because the checkout attendant couldn’t/wouldn’t pack them for me I held up their express line for as long as it took. Fvckem a thousand times. And whilst I was packing I was chatting LOUDLY to the attendant and all and sundry, making them aware that this was not a good green exercise as the bags they were now selling would take much longer to break down. And that it was a hypocritical money grab. And that Woolies CEO was a hypocrite of the highest order with his frequent traveller flights to and from his NZ vineyard. And that his carbon footprint was probably nearing that of a large African country. And that I wouldn’t be subscribing to purchasing their bags but would, in future, be arriving at the checkout with as many of their free F&V bags as it would take to package my shopping. Fvckem again and again.
Lucy Gichuhi is correct.

She can always go back to Kenya.
Kenya’s house prices are now falling rapidly, amidst political uncertainty
Among the capital city’s suburbs, Kilimani, one of Nairobi’s affluent neighborhood, registered the biggest decline in nominal house prices of 9.2% during the year to Q3 2017, followed by Upperhill (-9%) and Kileleshwa (-8.3%). Minimal house price declines were also seen in Lavington (-1.9%), Parklands (-1.6%), Donholm (-1.2%) and Westlands (-1.1%). The decline is obviously bigger when adjusted for inflation.
She can get a basement full of house girls included if she makes a hard enough deal.

Let’s say you’re right. Let’s say that all what you say about Soros is right and more. Why do you believe the law would only be used against Soros and his minions? We were told by the Bush administration, laws allowing for FISA warrants had enough safeguards to protect the public against intrusive government. A decade later, we see FISA warrants being used against political opponents in the US. Sure, Soros is a real pest in Eastern Europe and elsewhere, but I don’t believe you need such oppressive laws to defeat him. Trump won and he did so without the need of the Soros cash and he was outspent 4:1 The Hungarian leader won elections also without those laws in place too.
Bolt is turning into a live version of Malcolm Fraser. I’m just waiting for him to be found in some far off shithole without trousers.
PS Not that I normally shop at Woolies, nor will I in the future.

Uncle George is a rich bozo with a lot of money. Since he began to take an interest in US politics -spending gazillions in an effort to influence elections- all we’ve see are the absolute number of elected D’ratters across states and federal head south to the point where , other than two tracks on right and left coasts , they are basically out of power and screaming Wacist at people in the streets.
I don’t know if this will continue though, as I don’t believe we have reached peak leftism.

Some may have missed yesterday’s chronicle, of a rare trip to the big city. There were some highs and lows.
Not being able to afford a $47,000 Rolex in a window display was disappointing to say the least. However, imagine my horror when boarding a tram, two gentlemen immediately stood up and offered me their seats. I tried to resist, but a young Asian lad would not be deterred. God! I must even look old these days.
Is it true that Soros is an agent of the Catholic Church?
That may explain Bolt’s concern. for his welfare.

Disappointed in Trump. No one ever taught a free range baby crow to talk like a human. Same goes for baby Mexicans. You need to keep em in a cage.
Conservatives always too gutless to take the fight to the commies.
Strange there was no trumpeting about the assault being at a State school in the way you know it would have been had it been at a private school.
Commies and Soros lost the election despite claims of Soros money polluting the political landscape.
I had to laugh at this, having mid twenties visit recently, I have learned to have spare new toothbrushes on hand. Fortunately the phase where they leave behind their phone chargers seems to have ended. We are delighted they are still coming home regularly to visit.

And a $50 Casio made by Asian lads – or robots designed by them – will keep better time than the Rolex.

Fatty away but Boring McBoringvoice talking to some to55er about Russia influencing the Swedish election. It went something like this, “They are deviously clever. No one has discovered how the Russians are doing it yet but we’re getting closer.” The burden of proof obviously doesn’t apply.

We visited the Allansford museum yesterday, a lovely little freebie set in the grounds of their Cheese World complex.

I really think money is overrated with respect to who wins elections. Ultimately it all goes back to the candidate’s ability to mesh with the punters. We saw that in the past election. Crooked outspent 4:1 and she lost not because people didn’t hear any of her messaging. She couldn’t persuade enough people to vote for her.
Trump’s campaign was the most chaotic slap dash underfunded campaign we’ve seen in relative terms, but he was able to persuade and he was smart how he used the media against the media itself and Crooked. The media still doesn’t realize how it was played for suckers.
Money counts in a situation where you have two or three candidates not widely separated in terms of style or policy. When the choice is not clear cut the power of the TV becomes more of a factor. In this last US contest there was a definite difference in both style and policy.
The media for the most part still cannot understand what happened. They seem to consider themselves as opinion leaders and guides rather than reporters and recorders. They are in a state of denial. The masses failed to follow them.
Misfit
I didn’t say money doesn’t count. I said it was overrated.

Wasn’t disagreeing so much as thinking out loud as it were.
Most time I agree with you & Struth.
Still enthralled by yesterday’s embrace by Melbournistan, I had been summoned to discuss matters financial. A conversation about nothing in reality. A vast atrium, invites from the street and swallows me up, at heavens knows how much a square metre, a desolate temple to architectural vanity.
I await in the Presence Chamber on the seventh floor. The silence is overwhelming. No bird calls, no distant rustics hollerin’, nothing from the street below, trees answering to the wind unheard, neighbourhood dog conversations totally muffled, machines of the soil frozen in their furrows. How can people exist in this sterile box I wondered as I bided my time, looking for the deep and hidden meaning in the carpet, for all the world a take on one of Jackson Pollock’s bad days.
Trump got less votes than Romney among non Hispanic Whites, and overall.
The difference was the Black turnout in ’12 didn’t happen in ’16.
Of course, all close Presidential Elections are stolen, the winner being the better thief.
Hillary’s team must’ve taken their eye off the ball in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan and that was the Electoral College gone.
No wonder they’re upset.
Taxable income Tax on this income
$18,201– $37,000 19c for each $1 over $18,200
People earning under $18200 are likely receiving tax free benefits as well.
Qld Credit Union says it’s possible.
https://www.queenslanders.com.au/blog/could-you-live-on-just-20000-per-year/
About 15% of the population makes this or less and therefor pays no tax.
If he really believed this he wouldn’t have broken employment laws and ripped off his own employees.
I think the primary factor in Trump’s victory was that Hillary was an absolutely awful candidate. Trump brought out the absolute worst in her; that is certainly true. No other GOP candidate could have done this, I don’t think. But I don’t think there was some grand Trumpian strategy in play, either. Trump deserves credit for cottoning on to a few simple political realities that were disproportionately important to voters in the rust belt states that Hillary took for granted in her pathway to 270 electoral college votes. In hindsight, this looks incomprehensible, but back then she was following conventional political wisdom.
And it should be remembered that Trump won a squeaker if you look at the vote counts in the swing states that decided the result. Just like Obama won a squeaker in 2012. A few thousand votes going the other way in four or five states would have resulted in a different outcome.
Disability Support Pensioners must be on close to $30,000 by now, and they’re not paying any Tax.
The Government’s not silly enough to bring any of this up, so Di Natale knows he won’t be contradicted.
Sarah Half Wit Bungs getting all snakey on twitter, as well. The election of the Greens are living proof that some people should never be allowed the franchise.
If ’12 came down to a few thousand votes in a coupla States, then it must’ve been stolen too.
No doubt ’16 was stolen, that’s why the Dems are still crying.
Oh look, Grigorae has changed hands.
It’s actually relatively hard to cheat in the purple states, because both sides scrutinise the proceedings there so closely.
I will say that the Dems have a tendency to be really dumb about their cheating, ie like those districts in Chicago which went 100% blue. As in, not a single GOP vote. Why? The Dems were always going to cream it there anyway, even in a fair contest – why go all North Korean about it?
Could it be that the first 40% of income earners don’t pay income tax?
See first graph:
FactCheck: is 50% of all income tax in Australia paid by 10% of the working population?
The guy came from a million miles behind Hillary with 6-8 weeks to go. Sure she was terrible but the strategy employed by Trump was extremely effective.
Disadvantages included spending 1/3 of Hillary’s money
GOP giving up in some areas and plenty of never Trumpers who were prominent republicans
Overcoming the media and pussygate, no other candidate from the GOP could have nullified the msn.
No ground game in comparison to the Democrats machine
Overcame the bias in the government agencies.
Wasn’t great in the debates with Hillary as is the usual from the winner
Except that the GOP weenies were on the same side as the Dem weenies. Trump won despite both parties.
McConnell and Ryan have been frantically trying to keep control of the party away from Trump, but Trump’s stellar success has made that hard. McConnell is still abetting the Dem obstruction of Trump appointees. No recess appointments will be allowed under his watch and the Dems are still allowed to read out the phonebook each time a Trump candidate comes up for Senate consideration.
There is a book called Shattered, which I believe details the mis-steps taken by Hillary during the 2016 campaign.
Yeah Trump was hopeless at everything.
Except for enthusing Americans to vote for him.
Thanks for that post, Mater.
made a mistake polls were extremely bad for Trump mid August (10ish weeks) and even 2 weeks out was 7 points down
From the people who love to tell ordinary Australians that ‘people are more than just their genitals…’
We actually need fewer xunts on the ABC…
This is key. It doesn’t have much to do with the Trump campaign’s strategy. Hillary had the best ground game money can buy. But huge numbers of likely Dem voters didn’t use it because of their massive enthusiasm deficit wrt Hillary and the assumption that her victory was inevitable, so why bother.
Yes but OTOH Trump wasn’t particularly a fan favorite either, but he did put up a solid showing the last 2 weeks and many Republicans came home SCOTUS being a factor, but at the same time Trump relied on his voters just showing up and they did. The map shows red everywhere outside the cities. Quite a feat imo.
The last time I was in (shudder) Melbourne, the most noticeable thing was men in the CBD wearing powder blue suits and brown shoes with no socks.
I even saw one bloke (I think it was a bloke) sporting a man bun with a chopstick stuck in it.
Fun place.
Pedro, that was JC.
Not really. That’s pretty much been the electoral map for the last 30 years at least.
Hell, use your metric to evaluate voting intentions in California. You’d think it’s deep red.
It’s actually relatively hard to cheat in the purple states, because both sides scrutinise the proceedings there so closely.
Relatively hard compared to what?

Germany’s car exports to America have been falling for years
German automakers have opened big factories in the United States, dramatically reducing their need to import cars. Plus, targeting German carmakers would hurt American workers and the US economy.
German automakers sold 1.35 million vehicles in the United States in 2017, about 8% of total US car sales. Of those, only 494,000 were exported from Germany to the United States — 25% less than in 2013, according to the German carmakers association.

Unless it is the fact that supposedly trained security personnel were stupid enough to not only identify themselves as such on a public website but volunteered further personal information as well.

Just had a yarn to a mate that went to a display today of Biosecurity fencing.
Not regulated and compulsory yet, but a fundamental transformation of livestock farming.
Good sheep prices have enabled large scale operations to invest the capital out in Dog Country to build actual Dog and Roo exclusion fencing.
Not as impressive as the kangaroo exclusion fencing along some Victorian highways, but impressive.
Upgrading from adequate dryland farming zone wheat/sheep fencing to biosecurity fencing will have predator and pest management benefits, but at a cost.
[ not mentioning the real reason anti-bioterrorism fencing is becoming a requirement, the troll went off its meds last time it was hinted at.]
Back of the envelope numbers indicate that Big Australia has made us so wealthy that one hundred dollars an acre fencing costs are now just a price of complying with requirements.
Not a legal requirement yet, but we can see the way the indications are.
Plus an arms race of sorts, as the capital intensive corporates put up proper biosecurity predator and pest exclusion fences, the vermin will just sweep around the corporates and infest the old style fenced properties.
[ two hundred dollars an acre if you get a contractor in to put it up instead of building it yourself.]
If you were on the Weagles bandwagon it might be time to hop off.
Chevrolet Camaro Quite Popular In Germany
Yep. I lived Swanston Street in the 70’s – walked Flinders St station to RMIT a million times, flatted in North Melb, frugally shopped at Queen Vic markets, worked at Queen Vic Hospital, Alfred, Children’s, went to all the live band pubs and clubs, 451, Winston Charles, went to balls at xxx can’t remember, all the Myer Music Bowl free concerts, MCG games, caught the tram everywhere, Block Arcade, State Library, tea rooms at the Botanic Gardens ( my second job on Sundays waitressing) – oh how Melbourne was bliss in those days. I’m so lucky to have been there. Only get there once in 5 yrs these days, but I think if I were young it would still be fun – graffiti laneways, funky food, still live bands and bars I’m told by the younger rellies, I wouldn’t write it off just yet. Too many people for me these days though, but we are asianising, and what you grow up with you accept as normal.
Where does one start.
Surprise, surprise…………………
So this is what the German auto manufacturers now want?
Trump has them lobbying for zero tariffs………………………………………
So much more I could say, dot.
Do I need to?
Breaking news, from the Oz, is that the Victorian Parliament has passed the bill to proceed with a Treaty, with the indigenous. There will be a body, elected by the indigenous, to advise the Government…Compensation….. reparations….
The Orange One is a god.
I’ve had the unfortunate experience recently of watching SBS and their ads for Bank of Australia oh so ethical they don’t lend any money to Big Fossil Fuel.
Yesterday I drove through Kew, which has always been upper middle and lo and behold the swanky head office of Bank of Australia.
No point in being in Dandenong when the True Believers in Range Rovers are all inner camembert and brie circle.
They may not lend to fossil fuel but they surely use it.
Wankers.
In the ad, they’re driving a fossil fuel vehicle.

I wish the EU and or Trump would push Australia to eliminate its tariffs on our non existent car industry.
As far as I can see there’s no alternative to voting for Pauline.

Victoria passes Australia’s first Treaty bill
Victoria has passed Australia’s first treaty bill, setting up a path so the government can one day ratify agreements with Aboriginal people. The Advancing the Treaty Process with Aboriginal Victorians Bill 2018 passed the Legislative Council tonight.
It allows for the creation of a representative body, elected by Aboriginal Victorians by mid-2019, that will help design the treaty negotiation framework. Leader of the government in the Legislative Council Gavin Jennings told the chamber there had been a “sorry history associated with the last 200 years” of colonisation and the first peoples of Australia were “worthy of respect and not treated with respect”.
“There is unfinished business in this nation of addressing those matters that should never have come to be,” Mr Jennings said.
“We want to create a safe space in the first instance for Aboriginal people to determine the way in which we would right the wrongs of the past and deliver justice.
“We are not convinced you can wait for a national process that has never, ever delivered in relation to righting these wrongs.” The bill allows for the creation of a representative body, elected by Aboriginal Victorians by mid-2019, that will help design the treaty negotiation framework. It will go to the Legislative Assembly when parliament resumes in late July as a formality before being signed off by the governor.
The treaty process has been years in the making, consulting with more than 7500 Aboriginal Victorians.
While supporting the legislation through parliament, the Greens have pushed throughout the whole process for greater recognition of individual clans. Leader Samantha Ratnam attempted to amend clause one of the bill to change the term “Aboriginal Victorians” to “clans and first nations”.
“If this clause remains as is, then the treaty process will by open to any Aboriginal person to negotiate and make agreement with the state whether they are a senior representative of their clan and first nation or they came to Victoria yesterday,” leader Samantha Ratnam told parliament. “The clans are the sovereign first peoples of Victoria thus it is appropriate that they be specified in the purpose, we have also included first nations in recognition that some clans choose to recognise themselves on a first nation level.” The amendment was not successful, nor were any others put forward by the Greens on Thursday.
The coalition did not support the bill, believing treaty should be done on a national level instead.
Liberal MP Bernie Finn said a state treaty was more likely to create “fodder for lawyers” than anything else.

It’s one step forward, two steps back with you, Albert.
Good for the soul.
Raw, human emotion. And very funny commentary from these lads.
It should put a smile on your face.
My compliments, Top Ender, and thank you. My computer is having a hissy fit, and I can’t post links.
I’m just remembering the example of the Barnett Government in the Wild West, which was trying to negotiate a final settlement, of 1.3 billion dollars, of all native title and land rights claims, with the local Noongar tribe. FOUR of them went to Court, claiming that, as they hadn’t been consulted, no settlement could be reached. I’ll bet good money any “treaty” will tie up the courts for twenty years.

If Trump selects someone already approved by Congress elsewhere then the takeover will be swift. I don’t see Trump removing RR to only to go through a long approvals process. Just a thought.
RR’s removal will be dramatic.

Twatter has been suggesting that Sessions will or should go, let alone Rosenstein.
Fact is Mueller has his ‘marching orders’ and does not need to hurry nor back down at all.
The only thing that will fix the whole mess is to disband the FBI and the DoJ, both of which can be done easily, and “shock/horror”, put the functions back to the States.
That’s sad news, Clint Walker died on May 21 2018.

I’d reckon Mike Pompeo would add it to his portfolio with greatest of ease.
When Trump retires in 2024 I hope Pompeo takes the Presidency on.

I’ve always thought a Maccas on the top of the rock could be fun.
He can bulldoze the opera house and build a Trump Tower as far as I am concerned.
Yes that answer expected. Even when trump makes a 180 degrees turn, he is right both times. Utterly predicable worship of a dear leader. LOL.
Reality is that he gave in to his wife and daughter, as well some GOP Congress people who were concerned about the impact come November. No one but trump (if at all) knows exactly what tipped his mind, but Ivanka and Melania were big factors.
Incidentally I don’t necessarily disagree with the practice but it clearly turned into public relations nightmare. Build the fucking wall – and pay for it if is crucial. Like Israel did.
Haley is great but I don’t think trump will be succeeded by a republican. Americans like to change the party of the president at least every eight years. Haley can come back later.

I doubt it will. Monty I looked at the list of Russian contacts you linked to. These all appear to be exploratory and very tentative. I also watched the Four Corners. Last time one former Obama man, when asked if there as a smoking gun in all this said, these are just examples, who knows what other meetings they had.
Which means they have very little. Sure there is a possibility of a bombshell but on publicly a viable information this seems very unlikely.
There of course is a possibility that Trump will be found t9 have known about the Trump tower meeting and knew that the woman was Putin’s agent. But this would be minor transgression and not a trigger for impeachment.
We shall see what information they will get from Flynn, Gates, Manaford and Cohen.
Quoting voting patterns pre Trump is pretty ridiculous.
Howard Root: Live from Duluth
Our friend Howard Root attended the Trump rally in Duluth last night. This is his (fantastic) report along with photos he took at the event (at the top and bottom below):
When I arrived at 4:00 p.m., the line for admission was at least a half mile long. People had been lining up since before 10:00 a.m., with the line snaking through a glass skyway where the afternoon sun had raised the temperature to over 100. I’ve seen shorter lines for Springsteen tickets, yet everyone was exceptionally polite.
At least 25 percent of the audience was under the age of 30, and around 40 percent were women. The senior citizen percentage was less than 10 percent — the lowest I’ve ever seen at a Republican event. Other than the hundred or so party leaders, this was a vastly different crowd from the Minnesota Republican Convention that I attended in Duluth three weeks ago. None of the attendees I spoke with in the concession line at the rally were politically active (other than voting) and none were born-and-bred Republicans.
My big takeaway is that the atmosphere made Trump’s words almost irrelevant — and I mean that as a compliment. Trump understands emotion unlike any other politician I’ve followed. He stages his delivery with plenty of smiles, frequent claps (to the audience) and the longest walk to and from the podium I’ve ever seen. The two big differences between Trump and the usual politician are that (1) Trump never asks the audience for anything other than to be happy, and (2) Trump’s shtick is received as 100 percent authentic. Until I saw it last night, I never would have believed that a one-hour political speech could capture a 10,000-strong crowd from start to finish. A Trump rally is the one political event where you have to be in the room where it happens to understand how it works.
struth
this bloke is/was our finest A lister
Mueller’s camp doesn’t leak much. That doesn’t mean they don’t have the nuts.
Yes, yes we will.
Another bad story for Muller is that in the list of questions a lot are about Comey dismissal. This ain’t a good sign as this has nothing to do with Russian collusion. He won’t need to,pursue this matter if had a smoking gun on collusion.
If he pursues obstruction of justice on a matter that does not amount to criminal case, it will be seen as a technicality. Actually very similar to Bill Cliinton’s. We all know how that ended. And trump has majority in both houses.
Lurking with one eye (actually) and watching the conversation above re Trump
this stood out to me in my post above

Intel CEO Krzanich Resigns Over Relationship With Employee
Chip maker determined chief executive violated company policy; CFO will become interim CEO
Intel has a longstanding, non-fraternization policy that prohibits managers from having sexual or romantic relationships with employees who report directly or indirectly to them, a spokesman for the company said. The spokesman called the policy a “strict” and “hard ban” that he said applies to all managers regardless of seniority level. The policy also requires that employees who see or believe someone acted inappropriately to raise their concerns immediately, he said.
While details of the relationship weren’t disclosed Thursday, the public resignation highlights the discussions happening in workplaces around the country over how employers should regulate office romances.
His team is big enough to follow up on four or five different lines of inquiry at once. And if you think the Comey firing had nothing to do with Russia, you haven’t been paying attention, Boris.
It might have been. But if the Russian thing itself does not stand up then obstruction on something that isn’t itself a crime cannot be serious.
My point is that Comey story alone won’t stand up by itself.
Former Secret Service Agent Files RICO Suit Against Clintons, Soros, Podesta, Brock
Conspiracy theorists (and conspiracy factists) are running wild as infamously outspoken former Secret Service agent Gary Byrne has filed a Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) suit against what some call the Democrat Deep State.
Defendants in the case include:
CLINTON FOUNDATION, CLINTON-GIUSTRA ENTERPRISE PARTNERSHIP, MEDIA MATTERS FOR AMERICA, CORRECT THE RECORD, AMERICAN BRIDGE 21ST CENTURY, CITIZENS FOR RESPONSIBILITY AND ETHICS IN WASHINGTON, SHAREBLUE, DAVID BROCK, WILLIAM JEFFERSON CLINTON, HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON, GEORGE SOROS, JOHN PODESTA, JONATHAN WACKROW, JAN GILOOLY and CLINTON GLOBAL INITIATIVE.
Quite a rogue’s gallery.
Here’s the summary of Byrne’s case…
Sure Boris, but they got Capone on tax evasion, comme ci comme ca.

Comey facilitated his mate Mueller’s involvement with the Klinton Kriminal Kartel to cover up the Klinton’s deranged involvement with Russia.

Portrait of the political elite in a world of strife – Maurice Newman
The picture of Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel leaning menacingly across a table as she and some of her G7 colleagues confront President Donald Trump for his stance on trade may be worth a thousand words, but it didn’t deter journalists spouting millions more.
For a media running high on “Trump derangement syndrome”, this photo was truly a sweet moment, depicting a loathed President being lectured by his betters. Having arrived late for the G7 discussion on gender equality, Trump then went on to disregard the civility expected at these international gabfests.
His petulant dissent from the group’s communique was almost unprecedented. After all, sometimes these announcements are drafted ahead of the meetings. It was all evidence that this meddlesome President was unfit for office.
Trump’s unorthodox behaviour has thrown the world’s political class into a spin. Not for him a high-minded utopia where sovereign nations subordinate their self-interest for an ill-defined collective ideal, in the “greater good”.
Barack Obama played that game well and was applauded for his inspirational leadership. Now the US system has thrown up a vulgar businessman hellbent on putting America’s interests first. Merkel needed to remind him “how it is around here”.
After withdrawing from the Paris climate accord and the Iran nuclear deal, Trump, consistent with his election commitments, is now questioning America’s trade agreements, arguing previous administrations have let his nation down.
With the biggest player in town pursuing a narrow, selfish, agenda, the happy days of global consensus seem to have ended. Even if the US has been on the end of some bad trade deals, Trump should not presume that renegotiating them is without risk.
He needs to weigh the negative consequences of an all-out trade war and consider whether he is encouraging unwanted couplings that could harm America’s strategic alliances.
Likewise, his G7 colleagues should put aside their anger and consider the costs of protracted intransigence.
The US economy is bigger than all of them combined and their dependence on international trade is multiple times greater than America’s. In a trade war they are hugely more vulnerable.
For the European members, Trump’s G7 curve ball is particularly ill-timed. The much touted synchronised global economic expansion has ended and even Germany’s growth is fading.
Against this backdrop, the EU’s open borders immigration policy, strongly supported by Merkel, is fracturing unity. Europeans blame Berlin for the unacceptable social issues they are now forced to deal with, while Germans believe they bear a disproportionate share of responsibility for resettlement of refugees.
Proposals to date have been insufficient to placate Merkel’s opponents who see Islamists receiving preferential treatment.
Predictably, the public backlash against Europe’s immigration policy has been reflected in recent elections in Hungary, Austria and, now Italy. Even French President Emmanuel Macron admits that rising populism and anti-establishment (and anti-Europe) sentiment are linked to growing unease over immigration policies.
The fear is that unilateral action taken by any European government could increase the burden on other countries and result in the union unravelling.
Indeed, the EU is exposed on many fronts. Its executive, the Brussels-based European Commission, is dominated by progressive elites and national cliques whose policies are delivered from on high. Across time, this has eroded goodwill among supporters who see the European parliament as just a democratic facade.
Cracks also are appearing in the monetary union. To quote former US secretary of state Henry Kissinger: “Poor old Germany. Too big for Europe, too small for the world.” While culturally Germany has made little impression, its economic dominance has been critical to the union’s survival. Yet the euro is arguably too weak for Germany and too strong for many of the more fiscally challenged states. Germany’s trade surplus is a massive $US287 billion ($385bn) and the world’s biggest.
To be fair, much of it is a by-product of large domestic imbalances, not protectionism. Since the Weimar Republic, when hyperinflation ripped their country apart, Germans have been extraordinarily thrifty and their governments fiscally prudent.
As a consequence, Germany overproduces and under-consumes, and underspends on infrastructure. It also invests in its importers’ currencies, which keeps the euro below most estimates of fair value. This may advantage Germany and add plausibility to Trump’s claims that “Germany is very bad (unfair) on trade”, but its lack of spending constrains European growth.
Trump also has Europe’s contribution to NATO in his sights. Just eight of NATO’s 29 members meet the alliance’s target of spending 2 per cent of gross domestic product on defence. In total, 15 members have plans to reach the 2 per cent target by 2024. Germany won’t meet its target until 2025. Europe may complain, but the facts are on Trump’s side.
Secretly, EC president Jean-Claude Juncker must welcome the US President’s interventions. Juncker’s dictatorial meddling and lack of accountability have many European countries considering the formation of a loose trading alliance between themselves.
Even Alternative for Germany, the country’s largest opposition party, wants an end to the common currency bloc in its present form.
Time will tell, but leading British historian Niall Ferguson believes the EU is so poorly prepared for the challenges of the modern world that it may not exist in 10 years. Certainly, what started as an economic experiment has been overtaken by a powerful, politicised bureaucracy, often unresponsive to the needs of multiple jurisdictions, many of which have competing ideals, interests and, expectations.
So, while Trump may be a useful diversion for the political class, the reality is ordinary Europeans have become distrustful of the EU concept and, through the ballot box, are signalling their preferences for a more direct say.
EDITORIALS
Public debt is still on the rise
With the federal government’s first budget surplus in sight, concerns about government net debt have eased. But state governments, collectively, are ramping up their borrowing significantly to fund much-needed road, rail and social infrastructure.
Combined, the net financial liabilities of both tiers of government are heading towards $1 trillion, as The Australian pointed out yesterday.
States proudly have boasted of their budget surpluses this year. But this “net operating balance” ignores the large licks of taxpayer money being lavished on new construction projects. In the same way the federal government’s “investment” in the National Broadband Network does not show up in its “underlying cash” balance, state government spending on infrastructure is left out of the headline result. For states, with their relatively much bigger capital works programs, the difference matters more. NSW’s borrowing requirement next financial year is more than $10 billion, thanks to its four-year, $87bn investment in infrastructure.
Except for Western Australia — which has amassed $25bn of net debt, more than NSW or Victoria and with a fraction of the population — the Australian states are in good shape fiscally compared with their Canadian peers. NSW and Victoria are rated AAA by both of the major global rating agencies. Ontario’s net debt as a share of its revenue, for instance, is nearly 250 per cent, compared with about 70 per cent for NSW. That means our states have plenty of capacity to borrow for infrastructure that passes cost-benefit tests. But that could change quickly if global borrowing costs rise — as they are expected to — and costs blow out on what are ambitious infrastructure programs, bunched together in time.
There’s no magic pudding for funding infrastructure. Credit rating agencies don’t care whether extra borrowing is used to fund recurrent expenditure or new roads or hospitals.
All of the debt has to be serviced. Moreover, as the housing cycle turns, gushing stamp duty revenues, which make up a big chunk of state taxes, may not be there to fund the interest.

Interesting editorial about Trump and the EU.
The level of self-entitlement of Europe is indeed staggering.
Why isn’t Trump bending America more to serve Europe’s agenda?
Obama may have presided over, in his own country, and been accessory to, in the rest of the world, the greatest proliferation of war and violence against the West while at the same time sapping the West’s strength and will to withstand it, but he had nice manners.
Those horrid ordinary people will not be placated! Merkel has sought to soothe their concerns regarding a corrosive immigration free-for-all but they won’t accept the rampant criminality of the border-crashers despite all her assurances it is not happening: For some reason they aren’t believing here but their lying eyes!
When I consider the European tragi-comedy, I am reminded on one of the last lines in the film ‘Murder by Decree’, where Sherlock Holmes confronts the Prime Minister and other holders of high office over their their abuses of power.
You create allegiance above your sworn allegiance to protect humanity. You shall not care for them, or acknowledge their pain. There lies the madness.

Mueller’s camp doesn’t leak much.
Never change, reactionary running dog lackey of the Deep State establishment!
Masters of the trolling leftards-
The population Ponzi has created a looming mass of unavoidable stay in business spending on infrastructure and logistics.
If we couldn’t afford this at the peak of the property price Ponzi, how fast will things crumble when the Ponzi topples?.
And interest rates rise?.
There will be a critical mass of enraged four mortgage imported property speculator revolutionary freedom fighters, burning it all down for insurance and revenge.
Comrades.

Trump Moves to Obama’s Position on Family Detention, Democrats Outraged
Love that Obama as Joker done by Ben Garrison. Thanks Tom.
And thanks to Bruce of Newcastle for updating us on this:
Buying out the centre right like this is shudder-worthy. Extremely soviet in style, where even a joke around the kitchen table is suspect. What’s next? An attack on anonymous shared jokes while standing in bread queues? A metaphor these days for struggling internet sites sustaining us because there is nothing else left for truthful newstelling? We’ve already got offended citizen’s notifications of transgressors against public order and the State, as in the days of Robespierre.
The Great American Oil Boom
Thanks to evolving hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling technologies, the U.S. shale revolution that has taken flight since 2008 has transformed energy markets around the world. Long thought to have peaked in 1970, U.S. crude oil production continues to surge to new heights. Higher prices have increased profit margins, and output in 2018 has increased every week so far except one in mid-February.
One of the key advantages of the commodity price collapse that began in 2014 is how “lean and mean” it forced the U.S. oil industry to become. Sunken prices pushed those companies that were not able to cut costs out of business, with over 100 E&P companies going bankrupt by the end of summer 2016.
Today, producers have streamlined operations to such a degree that they can “be in the black” even when oil costs just $44 per barrel, or a hefty 33 percent below where prices are now.
EDITORIAL: Economic optimism on the rise among small-business owners = Las Vegas Review-Journal

Paint yourself with woad, don a loincloth and dance in a drum circle under the crescent moon, Mayfly.
Summer approaches, she’s crouched at the gates and ready to spring. 🙂
