Liberty Quote
The aim of public education is not to spread enlightenment at all, it is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed and train a standardized citizenry, to put down dissent and originality.

Buckle my …
Good evening!
More than a year since the Notre-Dame cathedral fire, authorities have decided how it will be rebuilt
The national heritage and architectural commission have approved plans to restore the cathedral to its last “complete, coherent and known” state, including the spire, the restoration body said in a statement.
5th or 6th?
Dan rules masks to be worn.
Misbehaving now masked.

From Ambrose Evans-Pritchard in the London Telegraph:

Cambodia’s tourist hotspot bans dog meat trade
Siem Reap authorities announced a ban late Tuesday, with the provincial agricultural department saying the dog meat trade has descended into “anarchy” in recent years.
“It has caused the infection of rabies and other diseases from one region to another, which affects the public health,” said the statement.
“The catching, buying, selling and slaughtering of dogs… will be punished severely.”
The maximum penalty for dealing in dogs for slaughter as food is five years in prison, while fines range from 7-50 million riel ($1,700 to $12,200).
How the ban will be enforced remains to be seen, as Cambodia has long struggled with lax policing.
Thank the good Lord that good sense has prevailed and they’ve resisted the temptation to repair the cathedral with some modernist, or worse still, postmodernist rubbish.
I do recall some pontificating about the great opportunities presented by the fire from sundry architectes Parisienne in the immediate aftermath of the fire. They* just have to grab any opportunity to inflict their bad taste on the world and call it a legacy.
*Not all architects, just the brutalist, modernist ones.
LockDan 2.0 has exacerbated my insomnia. I keep dreaming of ways to inflict serious pain on the smug dope responsible.
Xi has ruined China.It could have been OK, but it will take hundreds of years to repair. We actually like Chinese people, but the elites always over-reach their culture.

True. Spending the weekend away with the gal-pals, catching up with the usual.
And then it starts. TDS is real and rather horrifying. Like “Karening”. This virus has had some curious effects on people.
I might be mischievous today and drop an “I quite like Trump” into conversation. If youse don’t hear from me again, it means I’ve been cast from the clifftop into the Hawkesbury.
Lisa Benson (both) today.
Rip Van Biden’s good, but I particularly like Wile E. Pelosi. She’s a clever, funny cartoonist with a crisp, clear style.
This is what is so weird with the tax return thing. Don’t they realize that their own tax returns are all going to be subpoenaed too? And you can be sure they will be full of interesting stuff, especially Pelosi’s and Biden’s. I suppose they are now so old they don’t care, but the rest of the Dems must be terrified.
No one but the church should determine how Notre Dame is rebuilt.
Anyway, anyone’s 14 year old right wing extremists been targeted by ASIO yet?
The Guardianistas framed that as *new powers could be used to target BLM activists* which would be a good thing, since many of them are just crooks and domestic terrorists.
We should really just wind the clock back to 1988. It wouldn’t be perfect, it wouldn’t be libertarian at all but it would not be indicative of a gradual descent into East German Communism.
‘I might be mischievous today and drop an “I quite like Trump” into conversation.’
Do it calli. From my own experience they’ll be so shocked, having been well used to a) having competitions of sorts to see who can hate DJT more, and/or b) astounded that there’s a point of view outside the hivemind they’re more likely to freeze in place, gobs open than cast anyone anywhere.
You don’t even need to state a position.
I did it the other day with the coven of ditzy plump office chicks. Walked past on my way somewhere. Coven gathered around one terminal. The usual Pixie-Anne Wheatley giggling. Then:
‘oh. I just hate that Trump so much.’
Stop in tracks, which stops giggly convo. Turn to office chick. ‘Why?’
Couldn’t articulate any reasoning behind it at all. None. Then, after realising what I needed them for during the following week (nothing) I opined that people just say they don’t like him because that was the popular thing to do. At one point during that sentence I managed to get ‘on trend’ out.
Googly-eyed silence. Beautiful.
Always troll a few people daily Calli. They usually deserve it.
“Create an air of unpredictability to cultivate power by keeping others on their toes”.
I told an evangelical chick yesterday I was deeply offended that she referred to Catholics as non Christian and she should apologise and withdraw her comment. Whilst my complaint was factually true, I can’t red pill millions who have been brainwashed by religious fanatics like Alexander Hislop (who was probably actually a satanist). HMMM. Usually Baptist’s are the absolute worst with this nonsense. I can even point to biblical foundations of Catholic prayers they say are “not Christian”. Also odd that Christianity existed in the East and West 1500 years before they lobbed up with their intellectually inferior seminaries.
It was joyous to watch her squirm and see the hamster wheel tick over. I also live in her head rent free now. She deserves it for piping up with pro lockdown, normie TDS nonsense.
If that’s the state of evangelicals in 2020, I really fear for the USA.
In my experience of doing it, some will breathe a massive sigh of relieve, say “Thank God I now don’t feel compelled to mouth the same brain dead shit as everyone else”, and you’ll end up having a decent (and meaningful) conversation.
Everyone has their defences up. Show them the slightest indication that you are open to non-dogma, and it’s interesting what you can find.
Calli – Probably not a good idea to say you like Trump.
Goya Foods Faces Boycott Over CEO’s Support For President Trump (10 Jul)
Unfortunately politics is so crazy right now that activists will destroy your business, which then hurts family and employees.
Bruce, Biden has put his returns on his website. Not saying they are correctly recording all his campaign contribs – just his income.
Like a petulant small child attempting its first macaroni picture, LockDan is refusing help from the nearest grown-up.
Having repeatedly knocked back offers of thousands of ADF office types from the bastard Libs in Canberra to help with call centres to try and trace and follow up with people* it’s instead turned to same private sector which has survived in Vicco in spite of Andrews’ presence, not because of it.
All your call centre people belong to us, he said, apparently oblivious that most of them are from the exact demographic that caused this nonsense in the first place.
After having glued macaroni and his fingers to his forehead, Andrews will then no doubt publicly declare that he didn’t want to do a stupid picture anyway.
*Because people never ever lie to gummint, even if they have something to hide.
‘The Herald Sun can reveal the Department of Premier and Cabinet turned to the private sector despite repeated offers from the federal government of Defence Force personnel to bolster Victoria’s team of disease detectives.
‘More than 5000 close contacts of the state’s 1172 active cases are supposed to be called every day, but some* have not been called for days to check whether they have symptoms and are isolating. It has also taken days in some cases for close contacts to be told they may be infected.
‘The latest move mirrors Premier Daniel Andrews’ decision to turn away 800 Defence members to run the state’s troubled hotel quarantine system, with flight attendants and pilots instead called in to help.’
No way this has anything to do with unions. Right Dan?
*Most
Daily dose of Vietnam!
Pete – I was thinking of the Biden family interests in China and Ukraine. Joe may’ve coffer-dammed his tax affairs, but there’s going to be something somewhere about such things, and taxes payable on them. It’d be a Catch 22 – if tax has been paid on an illegal transaction then you have them for the illegality, or if tax hasn’t been paid you get them for tax evasion.
We might finally get ‘erd ‘mmunity from good old Victoria!
Unfortunately politics is so crazy right now that activists will destroy your business, which then hurts family and employees.
Will it actually destroy their business or do the exact opposite?
Not before October … and if this lot win in October they will happily change the rules. They have plenty of ways to protect themselves.
Their tax returns would contain transcripts of profit and loss on stock trades where they front-run their own legislation and buy up the beneficiaries. It would be called insider trading, but oh they gave themselves a special exemption for that. This perk is already well known but very difficult to get any traction with.

If you were a middle class white New Yorker you would probably already be making plans to move elsewhere. The final straw for me would be Mayor De Blasio and Al Sharpton painting BLM on the road outside Trumps hotel.
Hopefully the NYPD withdraws its protection detail from him since he treats them like the enemy.
BLM has made cowards of so many. However special mention goes to the 6 F1 drivers who did not take the knee. Time for some Football players in UK to speak up and say they are not comfortable wearing BLM on their shirts.

Mrs D dragged me out to her coven to help show of the grandsons. One dud the i dont like Trumps handling of the crisis. Cue Mrs D kicking me furiously under the table as i asked what exactly would you like him to have done that he didnt do, or did that he shouldn’t, given that in the Us like here states are responsible for health. Impression of a fish followed. Then to turn the knife pointed out that the worst states were all dumbocrat, and that Cuomo is Americas worst mass murferer for moving covid positive people her age out of hospitals into nursing homes where it spread like wildfire killing thousands if you dont believe me google it !

I got back from Adelaide yesterday. I’m off to Perth again this morning, having to travel through SA (brown shirted?). All visitors from Victoria have to wear masks while in public in SA. WA on the other hand is fine once past Eucla inspection point. I have to say, getting out of Danistan for 4-5 days a week is very healthy.
Of course I’m “assuming” that I will get past the Ring of Steel outside Bacchus Marsh.
Have a great weekend everyone.
Matt Ridley: Against Environmental Pessimism
“Doomsday thinking about the environment has been popular for decades.
A rational optimist lays out the many reasons we can be hopeful about the future of the planet.
In 1980, the year that PERC was founded, I spent three months in the Himalayas working on a wildlife conservation project.
One species of particular interest was a bird called the western tragopan, a large, spotted gray forest pheasant with red plumage around the neck and bright blue skin on the male’s throat.
The bird was found only in a few places and thought to be teetering on the brink of extinction.
If you had asked me in 1980 to predict what would happen to that bird and its forest ecosystem, I would have been very pessimistic.
Today … It has not gone extinct, and although it is still rare and hard to spot, the latest population estimate is considerably higher than anybody expected back then”

Mater, give them time.
Amber Heard found a nice nest.
Some years ago an enterprising young man had a brilliant idea of how to rip off the international banking system. He set himself up in the USA with a banking license and an office.He then travelled to Paris and presented a Bank cheque for $100M. The Paris bank then rang his Bank in the US and the young thing in his office said the cheque was kosher. He then withdrew $50M and placed it in another a/c. He then travelled to a number of other countries ,including Australia , and did it again. He then transferred all the legitimate money to Israel and when the scam was exposed he offered the banks half their money back if they did not prosecute. Quite a few took up his offer,Australia and Japan did not. He could not be extradited because Israel does not do extradition.
Only because it is the wrong type of populism.
oh. I just hate that Trump so much.’
Abbott played a role in this. Similar political acumen was brought to bear during his tenure.
it was sufficiently profound as to make any further analysis pointless.
I’ll put this out there:
Dogs are Slaves to their Masters. That should play well right now.
Even the IT/electronics industry is suffering from political correctness. The terms Master/Slave are being replaced. They actually have fairly specific meaning in IT/electronics which isn’t necessarily the same as data IN and data OUT.
Dot, the left doesn’t do popular. A foundational belief for leftards is that if an idea is so popular it can win elections — i.e., populism — there must be something wrong with it because people are congenitally stupid.
Much more morally superior for leftards to lie and cheat and rig an election because democracy is beneath them as it is only for stupid people.
In the previous thread someone was asking for a reference book regarding Operation Market Garden.
I can recommend British military historian Sir Antony Beevor’s ‘The Battle of Arnhem: The Deadliest Airborne Operation of WWII”.
The most recent edition was published October 29th 2019 and is the most up-to-date treatment of the topic I know of. It has been updated with a vast amount of information from relatively recently declassified reports and sources and is a masterwork of historic reporting.

Zatara,
Beevor’s my go-to on WW2. Impeccably researched and captures strategic direction as well as the struggles of the on-ground soldier.
I’ve got his books on Stalingrad, Berlin, D Day, the Ardennes campaign, the Spanish Civil War and his overarching ‘The Second World War’. Each a masterpiece.

Fuck me, so Copperfield is now a person of colour; that’s cultural appropriation.
Outstanding!
Trump can’t pardon Flynn at this stage because it may prejudice appointing him to the head of the FBI; although on reflection I think it would be a grand act. Especially after it has been revealed that vile thing clinton pardoned the mad bitch susan fucking rosenberg so she could make a comeback in BLM.
Rosenberg should have been hanged.
A group pf Pom crims went to Auction and bought an ATM machine. They called it One Bank and leased a hole in the wall in a very busy shopping centre. It was advertised as accepting all cards from all banks. People would put their card in and then their PIN, the card would then be rejected. After a couple of weeks Centre Management told the crims to remove the ATM. That weekend they descended upon hundreds of ATMs armed with PINs and cards and cleaned the lot out Got away with millions.
These have been tried already and counter measures are probably in place. Anyone got any ideas? I want a scam that hurts the Banks but not the clients. A couple of hundred million would be nice. Just keep it between us OK?
Antony Beevor is the man.
Big +1 from me.

Be prepared to be deluged with ‘facts’ that turn out not to be true, and ill-informed opinions masquerading as facts.
Of the latter type you will hear that Trump is a misogynist and a racist. And Wussia – Meuller’s report notwithstanding, the sheer volume of ‘evidence’ is convincing enough.
With regards to the former they will be snippets picked up like lint from habitual rolling about in transports of self-pleasuring among the flimsy fluff of The Ague, The Sickly Moaning Haemorrhoid, CNN etc. they will keeping throwing these at you until there is one ‘fact’ (an accuser, a report, something he said or did) that you cannot not claim to know about and therefore cannot rebut with specifics. They will take that as winning the argument and vindicating their opinion of Trump.
It is not about truth for them. It is about winning. The appetite is not curiosity, it is insecurity – unease at what else they may be wrong about and haunted by misgivings as to their ability to work things out.
And of course they will use numbers to prevent you being able to respond to each in their turn.

Truck driver needs some dosh?
Peter Falconio could be ‘jelly man’, says witness
The truck driver who rescued Joanne Lees from the side of the Stuart Highway in the Northern Territory hours after her boyfriend Peter Falconio was believed to have been murdered has given startling new details about what happened on the evening of July 14, 2001.
Vince Millar has told a television program that he had seen a person dubbed “jelly man’’ — who might have been Falconio — shortly before a distraught Ms Lees threw herself at his road-train truck.
Channel 4 has reconstructed the mystery disappearance of Falconio, a 28-year-old British backpacker, and raised at least six key questions about the subsequent life imprisonment of Bradley John Murdoch, who was convicted of his murder in a 2005 court case.
Falconio and Ms Lees, then 27, were stopped on the Stuart Highway en route to Darwin by another driver claiming there were some sparks coming from the back of their vehicle.
Ms Lees heard a gunshot at the back of the car and was then bound at gunpoint. She escaped and hid in nearby bushes for hours as the gunman searched for her.
Falconio’s body has not been found and Ms Lees, who was vilified for not speaking publicly after her traumatic experience, returned to Huddersfield in England’s north.
But in the most sensational new development in a mystery that has riveted both Australians and Britons for nearly two decades, Mr Millar has recounted something he witnessed before seeing Ms Lees.
He said he saw headlights “doing circles and lights going on and off’’.
At one point he slowed down his truck thinking two men standing outside a red car on the roadside may have required assistance before witnessing the men bundle a man who looked “like jelly’’ into the car.
“There was something they didn’t want me to see. I am pretty sure that guy in the middle very well could have been Peter Falconio,” Mr Millar said.
The truck driver said this was the first time he had spoken about “jelly man’’ because the police had not asked him about events he had seen before Ms Lees ran in front of his truck.
Mr Millar gave evidence at Murdoch’s Northern Territory trial that “this sheila jumped out in front of my truck’’, forcing him to swerve to avoid her.
Her hands were together above her head and she “sort of threw herself” at him.
Mr Millar said Ms Lees wanted to try and find her boyfriend, and they started to look until Ms Lees told Mr Millar that the attacker had a gun and had held it against her head.
In the television program, which aired in Britain last month and which will begin on Seven this Sunday, experts raise questions about the DNA evidence used to convict Murdoch and the small amount of Falconio’s blood at the scene.

‘A black hole filled with venomous public serpents is a good thing?’
Actually, the more I talk to people around here, the more I’m becoming convinced that ‘APS staff had been working around the clock to assist the community during the pandemic.’ is a something of an exaggeration.
My APS contacts – from both line and central agencies – say that while there were times they did have to bust a gut, there were also long periods of normal or even slack workloads, complicated by the fact while there are certain jobs you can do effectively from home, there are others – despite ‘zoom’ – that you can’t.
And while we were told that there had been a massive and unprecedented redeployment of staff across the APS to cope with COVID, the CPSU figures – which may be, err, rounded – indicate that only about 3% of staff were actually affected.
And why would a pasty-faced little EL1 in the Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources – an agency whose work is marginal at the best of times but irrelevant to the pandemic – have any actual idea about whether ‘the public sector had been critical in making sure Australians were receiving support from the government in the crisis.

Polly Nomial and Curly Pi
(Impure Mathematics: The Cautionary Tale of Polly Nomial)
Once upon a time pretty little Polly Nomial was strolling across a field of vectors when she came to the edge of a singularly large matrix.
Now Polly was convergent and her mother had made it an absolute condition that she must never enter such an array without her brackets on. Poll however, who had changed her variables that morning and was feeling particularly badly behaved, ignored these conditions on the ground that they were unnecessary, and made her way amongst the complex elements.
Rows and columns enveloped her on both sides. Tangents approached her surface; she became tensor and tensor. Quite suddenly two branches of a hyperbola touched her at a single point. She oscillated violently, lost all sense of directrix and went completely divergent. As she reached a turning point she tripped over a square root which was protruding from the erf and plunged headlong down a steep gradient. When she was differentiated once more she found herself alone, apparently in a non-Euclidian space.
She was being watched however. That smooth operator, Curly Pi, was lurking inner product. As his eyes devoured her curvilinear co-ordinates, a singular expression crossed his face. Was she still convergent, he wondered. He decided to integrate at once.
Hearing a vulgar fraction behind her, Polly turned round and saw Curly Pi approaching with his power series extrapolated. She could see at once by his degenerate conic and his dissipative terms that he was bent on no good.
“Eureka” she gasped.
“Ho Ho” he said, “what a symmetric little polynomial you are. I can see you’re absolutely bubbling over with secs.”
“Oh Sir”, she protested, “keep away from me, I haven’t got my brackets on.”
“Calm yourself, my dear,” said our suave operator, “your fears are purely imaginary.”
“i,i,” she thought. “Perhaps he’s homogeneous then.”
“What order are you,” the brute demanded.
“Seventeen”, replied Polly.
Curly leered. “I suppose you’ve never been operated on yet”, he said.
“Of course no,” Polly exclaimed indignantly. “I’m absolutely convergent”.
“Come, come,” said Curly, “lets off to a decimal place I know and I’ll take you to the limit”.
“Never” gasped Polly.
“EXCHLF” he swore, using the vilest oath he knew. His patience was gone. Coshing her over the coefficient with a log until she was powerless, Curly removed her discontinuities. He started at her significant places and began smoothing her points of inflection. Poor Polly, all was up. She felt his digit tending to her asymptotic limit. Her convergence was gone for ever.
There was no mercy, for Curly was a Heavyside operator. He integrated by partial fractions. The complex beast even went all the way round and did a contour integration. What an indignity. To be multiply connected at her first integration. Curly went on operating until he was absolutely and completely orthogonal.
When Polly got home that evening her mother noticed that she was truncated in several places. But it was too late to differentiate now. As the months went by, Polly increased monotonically. Finally, she generated a small but pathological function which left surds all over the place until she was driven to distraction.
The moral of the story is this: If you want to keep your expressions convergent, never allow them a single degree of freedom.

My first job was with the Commonwealth Bank. Decimal currency had just been introduced and all the money in the country had to be changed over. Every Wednesday all the other Banks in the area came into our branch and exchanged pounds for dollars. All this money was then handed to me and I would run it through a machine which cancelled it.I then placed it in several large suitcases and it was then posted to the Reserve in Melbourne where it was burned. Usually between two and three million dollars.That money was not counted after I had mutilated it. I could have just taken 20 or thirty thousand quid at a time very easily, but being young and dumb I didn’t. Anyone got a spare Time machine they aren’t using?

I bought a house and 4 acres of land in Tassie as a young bloke, together with the then-girlfriend. Together we renovated it for four years. The land was pretty crap, and featured an old quarry.
One day a bloke knocked at the door. He was from the Department of Main Roads. They were excavating a cutting some k’s down the road. Could he put fill into the quarry?
We thought about it and said yes. The result was one truck per hour for 10 hours a day dumping fill into the quarry. Like idiots we did not ask him for even $10 per truckload.
Not yet. The latest document drop shows even the FBI didn’t think he was lying.
Elusive Government Memo Shows FBI Did Not Think Michael Flynn Intentionally Lied (10 Jul)
Thus Sullivan is persecuting an innocent man. Doubly damning when Sullivan himself ordered the FBI to provide all exculpatory evidence, eg. this memo, which they refused to do. He is managing to discredit the entire Dem legal system all by himself, thus making ordinary people fearful of getting caught with a judge like Amy Berman Jackson and her lefty activist jury leader.
If ordinary people fear that there is no justice if the Left controls the courts then more of them will vote against Biden. The defund the police stuff is also very scary for them. Wymminses may not like Trump because propaganda but wymminses can turn on a dime when they get scared.
That’s why they don’t and never have had immunity from charges of murder or rape.
The qualified immunity they possess is to lawsuits, not criminal charges.

They shouldn’t have any qualified immunity.
By the way, how many people in the U.S. get shot dead by the cops annually?
Over a thousand?
How many Murder charges?
Well, the Somali who shot dead the Sydney yoga teacher in Minneapolis in 2017 was charged and
convicted for 3rd degree Murder. Sentenced to a couple of years, likely a free man by now.
Any others? Very doubtful.
Oh I think that a sense of personal revenge is near enough to a sense of justice … good enough for government work at any rate.
Flynn could start with a quick intro speech, “I come not to praise the FBI, I come here to bury the bastards that messed with me.” Could turn out … quite the Shakespearean tragedy.
The cops get protection from criminal charges because DAs simply refuse to ever lay charges.
Should be that ordinary citizens can lay criminal charges with a petition of a few thousand signatures if they fund it themselves. Then it would be a very different story.

Controversial intensive scrutiny of political groups
Beginning in March 2010, the IRS more closely scrutinized certain organizations applying for tax-exempt status under sections 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code by focusing on groups with certain words in their names.[33][34][35] In May 2010, some employees of the “Determinations Unit” of the Cincinnati office of the IRS, which is tasked with reviewing applications pertaining to tax-exempt status, began developing a spreadsheet that became known as the “Be On the Look Out” list.
The list, first distributed in August 2010, suggested intensive scrutiny of applicants with names related to a number of political causes, including names related to the Tea Party movement and other conservative causes.[35] Eventually, IRS employees in at least Cincinnati, Ohio; El Monte, California; Laguna Niguel, California; and Washington, D.C.[36] applied closer scrutiny to applications from organizations that:[37][38][39]
referenced words such as “Tea Party”, “Patriots”, or “9/12 Project”, “progressive,” “occupy,” “Israel,” “open source software,” “medical marijuana” and “occupied territory advocacy” in the case file;[34][35]
outlined issues in the application that included government spending, government debt, or taxes;
involved advocating or lobbying to “make America a better place to live”;
had statements in the case file that criticized how the country is being run;
advocated education about the Constitution and the Bill of Rights;
were focused on challenging the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act—known by many as Obamacare;
questioned the integrity of federal elections.
Over the two years between April 2010 and April 2012, the IRS essentially placed on hold the processing of applications for 501(c)(4) tax-exemption status received from organizations with “Tea Party”, “patriots”, or “9/12” in their names. While apparently none of these organizations’ applications were denied during this period,[Note 2] only 4 were approved.[41] During the same general period, the agency approved applications from several dozen presumably liberal-leaning organizations whose names included terms such as “progressive”, “progress”, “liberal”, or “equality”.[41][42] However, the IRS also selected several progressive- or Democratic-leaning organizations for increased scrutiny. An affiliate of the liberal group Emerge America had its request for tax-exempt status denied, leading to a review (and the eventual revocation) of the larger Emerge America organization’s tax-exempt status.[40] The conservative National Review states that a November 2010 version of the IRS’s BOLO list indicates that liberal and conservative groups were in fact treated differently because liberal groups could be approved for tax-exempt status by line agents, while tea party groups could not.[43]

Oh I’m sure all the judges trust that the system is fair and would never convict anyone innocent.
They have nothing to hide … They have nothing to worry about.
All they said was go back and do your homework better. They didn’t uphold DACA and didn’t permanently void Trump’s exec order. So it sounds like Trump is resubmitting the exec order with more supporting guff to keep Roberts happy. Or was it Kavanagh. Gorsuch? One of them didn’t like it.
SCOTUS doesn’t get to sign anything into law. They are a judicial agency and laws are made by the legislature. They are however supposed to rule on the law.
But there is no DACA law. DACA is a blatantly illegal executive order made by Obama that unilaterally halted enforcement of laws passed by Congress, and further illegally bestowed upon individuals living in the nation illegally the right to obtain working papers, in direct contravention of federal law.
Obama implemented it that way because he didn’t dare try to get it passed in Congress.
What SCOTUS did was improperly decide to invalidate Trump reversing Obama’s executive order. They did so because they couldn’t stand the social pressure from the left and the media regarding the perceived hardship on the DACA recipients.
When the highest court in the land doesn’t have the courage to act in accordance with the law the left has won. Who knows what Trump is going to be able to do about it now.

Good pick up.
State school teachers are accusing the Andrews Government of risking their lives by reopening schools on Monday, ramping up pressure for a return to remote learning for all students.
Citing health concerns based on the Al-Taqwa outbreak, one teacher has started a change.org petition which has attracted more than 1000 signatures from parents and other teachers. The petition, which is being widely shared on social media, is in direct contravention of the Victorian Public Sector Code of Conduct which prohibits teachers from making comment in a private capacity that relates to their jobs. They are also required to “implement and administer the policies and programs of the elected government”.
The petition was started by Sawsan Hassan, who is listed as a teacher at Cranbourne East Secondary College.
“Education is important however, being dead or seriously ill negates education. The health and wellbeing of my family and students is my highest priority,” the petition says. “As a teacher I am worried about the risk that this return to school poses to my colleagues, my students and my family. Hundreds are being diagnosed every day. I dislike remote teaching, but in this situation it is necessary to prevent the continuation of these outbreaks,” it says.
It references the spread of the virus among senior students at Al-Taqwa College.
“There is no rational justification for putting the health of teachers and students at risk by sending senior students and teachers back to school,” it says.
A number of registered teachers have supported the petition, including Lauren Perkins, who asks: “Why are we being forced to risk our safety, as well as the livelihood of students, their families and the local communities?”
The same sentiments are expressed by Manolya Moustafa, who says she is a VCE teacher and a sub branch president of the Australian Education Union. In an article in Red Flag, a socialist magazine, she writes: The state government has put the VCE results timeline ahead of the health and lives of students and school staff”.
“The government feigns concern for student wellbeing and education, yet they are happy to send them into harm’s way, knowing full well that it could mean death or severe long-term illness for students, staff and their families,” the article says.
Ms Moustafa is a registered Victorian teacher.

Why wouldn’t this work?
I go to the USA and start a bank. There are thousands of the buggers there, so one more won’t hurt.I seed the Bank with a bogus EFT . I then open up an account with another Bank and deposit the funds from my Bank into that a/c. I do that every where I can. All funds are by EFT. When the GFC was on the Bank of England made an EFT of about 5 billion Pounds to the Bank of Scotland. They didn’t have that money, they just pressed a button and Voila!!!!!!.
Now I reckon that Banks have to be audited etc. So, say this happens every 6 months, when time is up I fold the Bank and walk. No-one is suing because no-one has lost anything. I will then have legitimate money from legitimate Banks in legitimate a/cs.
The original Banks have not lost anything because they have EFTs from a legitimate Bank.

“5 On Your Side has learned St. Louis police officers executed a search warrant Friday evening at the home of Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the Central West end couple who confronted protesters with weapons in June,” KSDK News reported. “Sources tell 5 On Your Side police seized one of the weapons, the rifle, from the couple and they told police their attorney has the pistol seen in photos.”
Outstanding interviewed I listened to it on the way to work in the car — what a leader – I don’t think she had a privileged background the only privilege I think she had was to have parents who set her challenges asking her to do what seemed impossible to do and figuring out a way of doing it — best problem solving practice — no wonder her state of South Dakota has done so well compared to those state run by the likes of New Yorks Turmoil Twins Andrew ‘Granny killer’ Cuomo and Bill “I’m a Communist’ de Blasio
JC,
Any thoughts about buying Sydney Airport stocks at the moment?
The price is pretty low.
Cheers.
Also looking at Woodside Petroleum, currently $21 from a high of $31 in Jan.
In a just world, the same process would have been initiated in the case of Iran Air flight 655.
Mark M,
Brisbane is doing its bit. We’re putting in a Cross River Rail Tunnel to make it easier for these extremely rare animals.
A variation of this is doctor’s secretary syndrome where idiots employed in professional offices assume an ability to offer advice based on the profession employing them.
How many times do we see maggot brained ego media hacks assume some sort of superiority because they interview important people? Journalists are parasites and one a week should be executed to keep the rest in line. Not that I’m advocating violence.
From the OT:
“Also, no such thing as a dapper Caribou pilot. All mine looked and acted like the Night Rider from Mad Max.”
“Betcha they flew like it too, right? 😉”
I only had one Caribou ride when working for the RAAF. Crew arrived in the met office wanting forecast for departure in a couple of hours. I did it and asked if I could come along (this was the Good Old Days when the Met man was officially encouraged to fly anytime someone would take him). So we took off and went to Cunderdin to pick up some SAS guys to take to Manjimup. I was in the jump seat. Arrival was a 140 knot beat up of the huts they were staying in. As we taxied in I pointed out the blue and white Bonanza parked on the tarmac as being the WA DCA aircraft. No probs as they were all ex RAAF mostly anyway.
Got to fly the thing for an hour on the way home. Caribou’s were fun.
They have disarmed this couple, publicly, while denying them police protection. This in a state run by a GoP governor, the shithead, Mike Parson.
Filbert, you and me both. I have my eye on Sydney Airport and some more Woodside. The madness must end one day and then the oil price will go up and air travel restart. I think they ought to be considered longer term bets though.
Knew a bloke that did that except he charged contractors a heap to fill and compact it then sold the land for 3 x as much. no capital gains at the time.
Traders think in minutes.
Realists in years.
Eyrie,
Agree mate.
Just wondering how JC saw these things re: timings.
Headline at Just the News;
Old advice still good.
Time in the market beats trying to time the market.

Simply pathetic.
The US admitted responsibility and payed compensation.
Any criticism of current Australian events maybe?
The Andrews government and their monumental stuff up.
A woman with back pain..
Took 3/4 of a working day for Bobblejuice to find the new Open Forum. 🤣
Gilas, next time eye bleach warning PLEASE!
