Liberty Quote
Nothing can be more abhorrent to democracy than to imprison a person or keep him in prison because he is unpopular. This is really the test of civilization.

two typo’s. par for the course from me, always in a hurry. Correct ’em yourself.
Apologies.
Been closed so long it will be like visiting North Korea from South Korea.
They will have a slightly different language, they will be shorter and more pallid (from living indoors), they will look at outsiders with extreme suspicion, and when Palacechook rolls over and croaks they will line the streets wailing and pulling their hair with the awkward overacting of people thrust onto a stage who were never trained to act.
So, the New WA Liberals leader is 33 years old and has never had a job outside of politics. But hey his dad claimed some aboriginal heritage, so all good!
Treasonous rubbish lies which will always receive severe crushing response of unimaginable fierceness.
Good to see Nalder shafted. Stooge.
The next W.A. Lieboral Premier might not even have been born if the Liars don’t explode as usual.
and has never had a job outside of politics.
fake news, he claims he spent one summer on a concrete pour.
Are we talking about being tied to a post in a field and having a firing squad consisting of a single piece artillery?
Not just splashed to the four winds, but a few chunks entering the jet stream I think.
He seemed…ahem…Dependable.
As a union rep? That would be an irreproachable intellectual pedigree for the current Liberal Party.
So, aged ~25 to ~29.
Deep roots.
What happened to “shit me pants” Nadler? Nothing pleasant I hope?
Arky, as we discussed, this way lies madness. Independents (a) rarely get elected without massive media backing and (b) once elected are, shall we say, subject to “inducement”.
DJT has shown us the only way (and in Oz I think it is the long shot of long shots) – we need to take over an existing political party. Or at least take it over sufficiently to make a significant difference.
I nominate the Nationals. They may be agrarian socialists at heart, but you can see if you care to look how the Greens are gradually Gramsci-ing them to take them even further in the wrong direction.
If the Greens can infiltrate, so can conservatives. After all, most Nats party members have far more in common with the broad conservative cause than with the left. The party is relatively small, but does hold the balance of power most of the time in Federal politics.
All (geez!) you would need to do is have enough clout to have the Nats abolish the coalition and it would change the face of Australian politics…. a significant difference unlike Trump’s, but difference nonetheless.
A bit of branch stacking and other such tricks (plus a truckload of convincing the existing party members) might see that accomplished in 2 or 3 electoral cycles, if there was a group with the balls, cash and long term approach.
“After all, most Nats party members have far more in common with the broad conservative cause than with the left. “
I don’t think that applies to the NSW Nats…the Nats supported the abortion laws last year and the greyhound ban a few years ago.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willi_Herold
Willi Herold (11 September 1925 – 14 November 1946), also known as “the Executioner of Emsland,” was a German war criminal. Near the end of World War II in Europe, Herold deserted from the German Army and, posing as a Luftwaffe captain, organized the mass execution of deserters held at a German prison camp.[1][2] Herold was arrested by British forces and executed for war crimes on 14 November 1946 at Wolfenbüttel prison.
It was interesting, the moral i took from it was he let his assumed authority cover for what the people he was worried could reveal his façade wanted to do.
Every lie dug in a little deeper.

Getting conservatives to do anything in concert is neigh impossible. But some of our very own cats have run for independent. It might not be much, or enough, but I think we should put together some organisation that can help put conservative independents in touch with each other and with supporters. Not to say that we shouldn’t also be trying to organise something along your lines too. We definitely should.
League of Conservative Gentlemen Independents.
There was a rank and file revolt within the NSW Nationals in relation to the greyhound ban. There is considerable dissatisfaction among the rank and file in the regions with the Parliamentary wing of the Nats. Regrettably the Metropolitan Branch of the party which is stacked to the gills with wannabe political staffers and wannabe political staffers seems to possess a disproportionate sway over the State party.
Arky, Mark and Co.
All good ideas and probably best to get the opinion of the couple of legends here who have gone the independent route.
I think Mark has a point about infiltration. Which target to go at though. The Nats or the Libs? I’m ready to get back amongst it and make a complete and utter arse of myself and embarrass whole groups at one time with rants. Which group though?
Arky, looking at your website. Like the dogs. Don’t know if it still applies but HT coils used to be oil filled, tilting them top down takes the oil away from the windings. Probably doesn’t make that much difference cause of low RPM.
With helping independents, it could be as small and simple as: You want to run for a state seat? Here is someone who has done that before, we can put you in touch.
Or: Here’s is someone who can set up a website for you.
Or: Here is the email of an independent journo.

Installed two years ago, Can’t remember the ins and outs, whys and wherefores, cut and thrust or intricate details of it, but did think of it at the time.

Wasnt there that “preference whisperer” bloke a few years back also had a decent crack at getting independent/small parties to be elected by controlling the preference flows?
I seem to recall the uniparties did some nobbling of that method.

No.
I wouldn’t want to be involved in anything like that.
If only we had an independent media with teeth to investigate this spiv’s investments in the climate scam and those of his family (Paywallian):

I don’t think that applies to the NSW Nats…the Nats supported the abortion laws last year and the greyhound ban a few years ago.
The parliamentary party does not necessarily reflect the opinions of the grassroots members.
True, which is why trying to get independent candidates up without media backing is just never going to happen. If the left have a surfeit of “my sidedness”, conservatives have an absolute surfeit of “intellectual purity”. We have for 50 years let the perfect get in the way of the possible.
If someone set out to run a long term campaign to “LIBerate the Nationals”, combined with an education campaign aimed at Nationals grass roots as to why the Nats would be more powerful as a separate grouping rather than being running dogs of the Libs, organised like-minded(ish) conservatives to join Nationals branches and kept pushing that one point for an electoral cycle or two, there might be some hope.
It would require funding, a spokesperson and the will to not cave at the first hurdle.
It would also require conservatives to put away their intellectual purity in the hope of getting something that isn’t the current pile of steaming dung that we now face.
So a bit of a pipe dream. But it’s a lovely sunny afternoon here in Dannistan, so a man’s allowed to dream.
Independents can gain traction and win if they are already well known in the seats they run in…example one is Skank Phelps and Rebecca Sharkie or if they have a very good team behind them and political organisations such as GetUp to give them momentum….example two – Steggall, McGowan and Haines
Debt, debt and more debt in Victoria..
But who cares – everybody’s doing it: “In keeping with the Federal Government and other states and territories, we are borrowing to keep Victoria’s economy and livelihoods afloat,” Treasurer Tim Pallas said.
The tendency is to start a party before it has a constituency that recognises itself as one. Momentum is lost and they remain on the fringe.
Get people pissed off at he majors, highlight what is wrong with them, get people motivated for something better – then offer it to them.
Precisely, Cassie.
Which is why I just don’t think devoting resources to a bunch of independent conservatives (who will have no media backup at best, nor anything like approaching support from the likes of Getup!) is even worth doing.
Not for one moment suggesting I have the answer, but I reckon I’m just barely smart enough to see that bashing your ahead against that particular brick wall doesn’t work.
Independents can gain traction and win if they are already well known in the seats they run in…example one is Skank Phelps and Rebecca Sharkie
Sharkie wasn’t well known in the electorate. Furthermore, she was a lazy campaigner and is an even lazier rep.
She won solely because the media gave Jamie Briggs (member of 666 cabinet) an absolute and not entirely deserved bollocking.
It now seems that the sloth has its snout well and truly established in the parliamentary trough.
John of Mel
I think we need to ask.
Why are women over 50 so shit?
Because why else would they need a special bucket of money thrown at them?
and $50 million of this will support women over the age of 45, in recognition of the additional challenges they face.
Poor ol’ Alan Shamsey is brown bread. A true lion of Ozzie j’ism.
If the Left get back in, this is what you’ll get for not standing up to them:
Double Mastectomy for 17 year old girl.
I mean, it doesn’t get much closer to home than this does it?
And the Judicial, Law Enforcement and Health Industry are all for it.
This is why I said this on the Post Election thread:

This is well worth a RTWT. Pinched from instapundit.
A Pom doctor is less than convinced the deadly, deadly ‘rona is a “thing”.
The Covid Physician’s true coronavirus timeline
“My experience is no one but the government and mainstream media are sharing apocalyptic Covid-19 death experiences with me”
…
What of mortality: a fraction of a percent, and 10 times less than predicted by the inadequate and presumptive Imperial College models? What about the age-specific mortalities: the younger, the more fractional the risk? Yet, some mask children and we destroy the lives of the least at risk (that’s most of the workforce under 60 years). We destroy jobs, industry and life as we knew it while we wait for a vaccine. The NHS feels like it has been weaponised by the state and used paradoxically to damage our health. Isn’t that a hell of a timeline?
Redecorating history:
Arguably not possible to have under-channeled Trump to the extent Mr Trumble managed.
Subtext: the Liberal Party discarded the services of Australia’s Finest Ever Prime Minister for no purpose at all. Nyaar, nurdy, nur, nur.
Arky:
That’s not how you spell possum sandwich, Arky.
I hear there are some species that come with a hot mustard flavour.
“Sharkie wasn’t well known in the electorate. Furthermore, she was a lazy campaigner and is an even lazier rep.”
Fair enough, happy to be corrected re. Sharkie but I reside in Wentworth (where I have lived for most of my life) and everyone here knows Skank Phelps. I had thought that because Sharkie lived in Mayo that people might know her. Re. Skank Phelps…she had a formidable army behind her….Labor advisers and GetUp. It was nice to see the back of the loathsome grotesque hypocritical lesbian.
Long lines at new Colorado In-N-Out spark wild pantless fight
Reminds me of this
Cassie, Sharkie is happy to attend community functions for all the photographs. Then she’s out the door like a shot.
I wouldn’t be surprised if she had some GetUp backing, too. She and Phelps are peas in a pod.
Both are plagues on their electorates.
(Having said that, my curmudgeonly conservative son thinks she’s okay, but that might be because she bought one of his books. 🙂 Policy-wise, she is everything that he loathes.)
He is right. Windsock Morrison won’t want to miss out on all those leftist cocktail parties, the gutless spiv.
Riccardo Bossi is having a go with the A1 party.
These YouTube interviews are worth a look.

All have the common trait of being msm backed. Something no conservative independent candidate will ever attract.
“All have the common trait of being msm backed. Something no conservative independent candidate will ever attract.”
Yep.
Who’s Joel Jammal? The name is familiar.
Yeah, so much comes down to the MSM. Biden is dirtier than a Swedish mud wrestler but was totally shielded; Giuliani had some hair dye run the other day and that was the whole story. Which gave them the excuse to ridicule his announcement completely. And never ever eat an onion! Or wear red speedos. Or a terribly misogynistic blue tie.
And so it will go until the MSM gets a clean out.
The good news is that when Covid goes away magically and Trump is no longer in the WH the lefty press is going to obliterated. Even they acknowledge the only thing keeping them alive has been lefty TDS. once Trump is off the radar they’ll all go back to instagramming their dinner.
It’s just silly all these parties Aust Cons, ALA (aka yellow vests), A1. One Nation is probably the only one with a bit of traction. Moving in on the Nationals is probably a better idea. It’s a good name for starters.
My experience of the LP is staffers and wannabe staffers.
Yeah, so much comes down to the MSM.
So that immediately discounts any independents ability. Just ask Cardimona. He was ignored on occassion by the bloody local rag despite being a candidate who was out and about and loud and proud.
So, plan B. Infiltration? Who are we infiltrating?
And so it will go until the MSM gets a clean out.
It’s a shame it hasn’t happened sooner- 20 years of the internet has not been enough apparently.
Unfortunately the internet is not something you can easily turn on and veg in front of with a tinny and dinner.
Yeah true.

It is never a waste of time to bring together good people of like mind.
Whether you choose to band together and join a branch of a major party, or to form a new one, or join me in The League of Conservative Gentlemen Independents in doing some little thing to support conservative independents, I suggest you start soon.
Because they are coming for us.
None of this may bear fruit anytime soon, but the coming storm will be easier to endure in the company of friends doing something practical.

Completely agree with your first statement, Arky. The second part just plays into the whole incoherent conservative team meme. We’ve been doing our own thing and this is how it’s ended up.
We need to band together as a group, agree on the party to infiltrate, become local branch members and then simultaneously present policy initiatives and motions across the group at the same time. Almost like a political party within a political party. Or even, a faction…
“After a heavy backlash that sent Shrier’s book into the best-seller category on Amazon, including No. 15 in all books, Target reversed its decision, also quietly doing the same for its removal of Debra Soh’s “The End of Gender: Debunking the Myths about Sex and Identity in Our Society.””
Thanks for that Kaysee. I’ve read Shrier’s book (excellent) and I’m reading Soh’s book (also excellent). I recommend that people buy the books and read them. It’s funny how both are targets for smears and cancellation. Both are progressive liberals (in the US way) although I get the sense that both women are shifting their politics a little. I have watched numerous youtube discussions with both women. They are brave. Soh is an academic sex researcher who has done research on abnormal sexual preferences such as “paraphilias”. She knows a lot about autogynephilia. Soh writes…factually….that sex is immutable. You can’t change sex.
Alan Ramsey has died.
The SMH obituary glosses over his final years as a hack columnist who would quote hundreds of words in massive blocks before ending with a brief comment.
The only one I remember was “Remember?”
I didn’t and hadn’t a clue what point he thought he was making. It seemed like an easy way to earn a living, all that quotation.
The best way to troll Dr Tedious is to ask him “Did Covid-19 come from a Wuhan laboratory?”
If he says yes he severely pisses off the Chinese, who are his chief backers.
If he says no then you say “Why, if you lie about this, should we accept anything you say?”
If he says he doesn’t know you say “It’s been going for a year and you don’t know? Why should we accept recommendations from someone as incompetent as you obviously are?”
Something the MSM would never do of course.
..
The left do it all.
So should we.
I’m not a party joiner type. Most aren’t, but still want to do something positive. You can knock off the worst types holding down what should be conservative bastions in four ways:
1. Vote them out replace wit Labor or Greens Labour or Greens.
2. Take over a branch and preselect someone else.
3. Put in an independent.
4. Form a new party.
..
Any of these is better than leaving a Turnbull or Pyne type in place, but some of them are betterer than others.
You are wrong about concerted action.
Not in that concerted action is needed, but in where to apply it.
The place to act in concert is in the choosing of which bastard(s) is going to be the on the end of a combination of these actions.
Pick one to start with.
Infiltrate his branch, run an independent against him. Start a new conservative party in his electorate.
Do it all, and tell the bastard he’s a target too.
There’s no other option than the gliberals, as distasteful as this may seem. That existing party infrastructure (not to mention the guaranteed votes of rustadons) simply could not be duplicated in a new political movement in our lifetimes. This would be a matter of rightly taking back the party of Menzies and its founding principles. I don’t want to have a go at Riccardo B, but I feel his efforts with A1 will ultimately prove to be “misguided”.
And Arks, I never had you pegged as an idealist.
..
Loser think.
You would seriously rather sit in on branch meetings with Amanda Vanstone types and the people who select them, than start your own thing?
ARE YOU FUCKING FOR SERIOUS ME LADDO???!!
The left have the right beaten.
Why?
The right have a party or parties.
The left have a Cathedral.
Learn about it and look it up.
..
You need a damn good pegging with Pyne and Vanstone taking turns, and Howard watching on with his brushy little eyebrows poking up over the back of the couch.
No need to go full Begbie, Squire.
The left do it all.
So should we.
Complete bullshit, Arky.
We can’t because as conservatives we are individuals and a lot of Australia are collectivists, tribalists and feel safer running with the group. This we know historically.
All the points you listed are valiant but we’ve been doing the thinly spread valiant thing for years with no result. Just look at Custard and Cardimona recently. Bloody champions who put it well out there, passionately, and couldn’t scratch the shell. This we know historically.
We need to thinly spread ourselves as conservatives through one select forum. A couple of individuals here and there at grassroots getting the odd conservative motion through across several branches across all of Australia is the only way forward. It’s also the only opportunity to deride any other shit that gets put up by the regular numpties and to get face to face with the Polly muppets. You may find that there are still some free thinkers in the rank and file that would come on board.

You know what, so do I. It’s not going to happen though. Learn from others recent experience.
It’s time to get dirty. Join up, go to a meeting and tell the Amanda Vanstone types to eat a dick.
A loose coalition of conservative independents, helped at arms length by strictly conservative body with no ties to any of the interest groups or parties. A pure grassroots creation.
The main parties are compromised beyond saving.
Trump did it with hundreds of thousands of little donations from people like us, fed up with the shit.
He did it by tapping into the rightful disgust people have for the turds you are hoping to polish.
Not me. I ain’t joining a band of shits just because, right now, they are the only game in town.
That just tells you the market is ripe for a viable alternative. Unless you want to be smoking farts with the libertarians, or listening to that strident ginger fish wife, or eating a shit sandwich at a Liberal branch with the wretched, chinless fans of golden showers and pegging who inhabit such meetings, you are going to have to do something different and new.
Trump did it with hundreds of thousands of little donations from people like us, fed up with the shit.
He channelled that through the existing conduit of the Republican party, Arky. You’re ideas are ok but you’re just doing circle work that’s been tried around what is the obvious conclusion.
That was the reason I started the Catallaction Club. It was meant to be a starting point to form a group. From there on, members could share ideas, opinions and suggestions of what we can do to make a change, instead of just sitting back and having intellectual discussions.
Result: The club had so many Cats rushing in enthusiastically, hundreds of them, wanting to join. We had so many in the club, we had to stop issuing memberships. [Yeah, right!]
With the current US elections taking up the forum space, I’ve put the club on hold for now. For what it’s worth, I’ll take it up again when I have the time.
If you wanted a brand for a new party for the next election in your state it should be this: The Anti – Lockdown Party. And your number one policy is to promise to never again allow your state to be at the mercy of some jumped up little doctor.

I would gladly participate in such a thing.

Sounds like a good thing, kaysee. First I’ve heard of it. Don’t let the US election put you off, channel that passion.
Time constraints.
It started as a series of posts around June, but the club came into existence in July. If you have missed the comments, I could provide the links if you are interested.
A start that everyone might find palatable is this:
Start by simply giving all politicians a conservative rating.
A star system.
Zero to ten stars, based on their a combination of their stated opinions, their voting records for sitting politicians, and their policy platforms for independents.
Shall I sign you up as a member, Arky? 🙂
Do it Kaycee.
Do you know what you are signing up to?

Full Disclosure.
Just so you know what the club is about, here is the first set of (three) comments.
its absolutely amazing after Biden supporters spent months accusing Trump of the genocide of Americans will they docilely sit by and watch vaccines be sent somewhere else because ‘fair’?
Especially when the US seems to be so hard hit compared to third world countries right numbers?

PML – Rowan Dean on fire and attacking Bum Fluff Reece who started a blue with Rowan. Called Rowan’s Climate Change scam comments “morally bankrupt.”
Rowan was brilliant.
That kunt nicholas reece trapped the great Rowan Dean because Dean used the cuck, bolta’s argument about alarmism which, yes it is real but Australia’s contribution is so slight we can’t make a difference. Fuuuuck!
The argument is alarmism is NOT real, it’s bullshit.
And Pauline does the same as Dean. Fuuuuck!
If you say it’s real pricks like reece will always pull the moral argument that it is immoral not to do something even if Australia’s contribution is slight.

I can’t hold back any longer. I was at a wedding recently, which started with a welcome to country spiel. It followed with a male bridal party member, and back at the house a certain person reiterated the welcome to country barfathon.
However, i’d already heard the goss that this same person had told my niece she’d have to find her own way to the wedding AFTER DOING THE MAKEUP FOR THE ENTIRE BRIDAL PARTY!
Anyone who virtue signals must be assumed to be compensating for their own immorality. So far it’s basically a perfect record. Only grossly immoral people with rooms full of closets full of skeletons virtue signal. Prove me wrong.
Weddings are shit.
I don’t understand why chicks want any more than to be thrown over your shoulder and carried back to your place of habitation.
It sure isn’t the average bloke wanting to invite 200 parasites to a floral nightmare in pink.
The bride and her mother want to be the centre of attention for the day. The groom and the bride’s father go along with it to avoid nagging. Everyone else is just there for the drinks.

Those due to be removed from Britain included 25 criminals who had been imprisoned for offences including murder, child rape and grievous bodily harm.

I don’t give third political Parties much of a go these days, after having put quite a bit of money, faith and effort into the Australian Conservatives, which went nowhere. One Nation with Latham leading might go somewhere, but that’s about it. The Liberals will have to change, be forced to change, and voter pressure will have to do it. I’ve had my days long ago of sitting around Church halls trying to Branch Stack (I was Labor in those days) and I doubt I will join the Libs just to do that or to be a pressure group.
That said, I’m going to bed. Had a productive day writing today; one of the few since I broke my foot, had to change various medications and became low on oestrogen. I’m now back on the rub-in stuff and it’s working! I feel human again.

You had me laughin’ so hard, you had me coffin!
The only thing saving Albo is the other members of his front bench are even more left-wing fruit loop than he is. Even they realise they’d be even more unelectable if they knifed him.
Anthony Albanese’s authority has gone; he may go too
GEOFF CHAMBERS
Anthony Albanese must stop relying on proxies and mealy-mouthed language to persuade voters he is fair-dinkum about mining jobs and regional Australia.
The Opposition Leader seems allergic to uttering the words “coal and gas”, flippantly referencing vague commitments to exporting resources.
He prefers speaking about net-zero emissions targets and renewables. That’s his focus.
Albanese’s claim that climate change divisions inside Labor are an invention of the media and “some who refuse to acknowledge the reality” is a cop-out. After last year’s election, the 57-year-old parliamentary veteran pledged to drag Labor back to the centre and win back disaffected voters in the regions and outer suburbs. Central to that mission was formulating a sensible, middle-ground approach to climate change and resources.
Albanese has struggled in achieving that goal. He needs a stronger narrative to replace his soft rhetoric on resources. If his Left-faction colleague Murray Watt can get up in Rockhampton and speak glowingly of the mining sector, why can’t Albanese? Is it that he fears the backlash in his inner-Sydney seat of Grayndler?
Kevin Rudd presented a model for modern Labor opposition leaders. He built a climate-action consensus ahead of the 2007 election because he brought regional communities with him.
He travelled to a coalmine with Peter Garrett, lashed Bob Brown for having “rocks in his head” when the former Greens leader suggested shutting down the industry, and was rewarded with a rump of Queensland seats, which Labor seems incapable of winning back.
Annastacia Palaszczuk embraced coal at last month’s Queensland election and reaped the benefits. But Albanese can’t bring himself to even visit a coalmine. He has also refused to shift his closest ally Mark Butler out of the climate portfolio.
Butler has tried and failed to sell Labor’s ambitious emissions and climate agenda at two-elections. Despite pressure from colleagues to re-task Butler in next month’s shadow cabinet reshuffle, Albanese will not budge.
“He’s doing an outstanding job,” Albanese said on Monday.
History does not favour leaders who ignore the concerns of their party room.
Joel Fitzgibbon’s resignation from shadow cabinet and his crusade to “get labour back into the Labor Party” and fix the ALP’s rhetoric on mining and blue-collar workers has resonated with colleagues.
Any authority that Albanese had following the 2019 election is gone. Ahead of the year’s final two weeks of parliament, the sharks are circling.
While there remains no clear candidate or immediate move, few in Labor believe they have a chance at the next election, which could be held as early as the back end of next year.
The decision to hold the ALP national conference before Easter, where Labor will finalise its pre-election policy platform, combined with no improvement in Albanese’s performance, could well escalate leadership rumblings to a post-summer challenge.

Maybe the Liberal wets serve some electoral purpose I don’t understand.
Maybe the gruesome procession of Pynes and Downers and Howards who I find so unappealing are really required to capture the votes in parts of this brown land that I just don’t understand.
Maybe it’s coincidence that they share the RINO’s distaste for Trump, a penchant for leading us into endless and useless wars and inability to effectively communicate anything you or I would recognise as traditional conservative values.
I don’t think so.
This year has been a disaster, and our political class revealed as useless.
Worse than useless. They are the problem.
I see the tenor of the US ‘toons has changed. Acceptance.
It’s instructive, as many still hope for a legal outcome to remedy the shambles. Perhaps they are looking down the barrel at four years of cartooning fun. Why do they think they’ll even be published by the end of that?
Howard an Costello gave us the third highest living standard in the word. Something that was never mentioned in the MSM.

There will be no 2024
Alejandro Mayorkas, the first Latino chosen for President-elect Joe Biden’s Cabinet, will head a Department of Homeland Security that is expected to drastically overhaul President Donald Trump’s hard-line immigration policies, as well as put Mayorkas at the forefront of the new administration’s anti-terrorism strategy.
Mayorkas will be the first Latino and first immigrant to head the Department of Homeland Security, if confirmed by the Senate. The highest-ranking Cuban American in the Obama administration, Mayorkas was deputy secretary of DHS under then-Secretary Jeh Johnson, and before that was the director of Citizenship and Immigration Services, a part of DHS that oversees granting citizenship and other immigration benefits.

I was listening to James Delingpole’s youtube channel (always worth listening to) last night and he says similar.
Black Lives Matter activists are pressuring Democrats to embrace the BREATHE Act, which includes a section requiring a “roadmap for prison abolition.”
“The BREATHE Act is a legislative love letter to Black people,” BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors wrote in an op-ed for Teen Vogue on Thursday.
Democratic Reps. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts announced the act in July, but it has not been brought before Congress.
Cullors, who has written a letter to President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris requesting a meeting, told The Hollywood Reporter she is requesting that the new administration work to pass the BREATHE Act within the first 100 days.
From American Thinker. Thanks Hero.
Pretty much sums it up.
Reflecting on the 2000 election and its legal ins and outs as I walked this morning. Another country, doing things differently. Today, the States has a new generation of youth who have sipped copiously at the poisoned well of university and superficial social media.

No acceptance of an unfavourable decision by SCOTUS, should that happen. They will burn and kill. The last four years is just a taste.

‘They are prepared to do whatever it takes as foot soldiers for their pitiless masters.’
Those same pitiless masters, calli, believe these people can be controlled. The frontmen of the Dems – Harris, the old derro etc – are the ones seen as socially acceptable, not necessarily acceptable to the brick peggers.
Once they decide the current state of affairs isn’t radical enough for them, those same people will be out for the Democrat establishment, working on the belief that they’ve been betrayed.
Just as the Maoist students turned on their teachers, this too will come to pass.

Susan Rosenberg is a convicted domestic terrorist and radical left activist whose youth was spent protesting the Vietnam War and racism in America. A member of the Weather Underground and other radical organizations which used violence as a tool for political change, Rosenberg was sentenced to 58 years in federal prison after being arrested for possession of explosives and weapons during the planning of a number of bombing operations. [1] She was also a suspect in a 1981 armored car robbery which left one guard and two officers dead. She was released in 2001 when then-President Bill Clinton commuted her sentence. [2]
She should have been executed.
I’m at a loss as to why vaccines are the new boogaloo.

Some of the stalwarts remain but you’ve lost so many of the long-term posters due to the first contact of and throughout the day being irritating, on which so many have commented. Posts are way down but for the occasional article and there are far more pleasant places to spend the hours. As with conservative politicians, The Australian and other supposed to represent us, people just give up on them.

How slow is OUR gummint! I received a letter from MEDICARE yesterday telling me that now I was over 70 (something that occurred several years ago) I MAY be entitled to free immunisation/s .. as listed .. it then listed a single ailment I’ve never heard of ZOSTER but after Googling discovered Zoster is another term for SHINGLES …
Wierd! Why would I rush off for an injection for something I have to Google!
And then to add more fun to their missive they inform me that .. although the injection is free your vaccination provider MIGHT charge for administering it but you can claim it or a portion back on MEDICARE.
The freebie you have when your not having a freebie brought to you several years later …..!
” As with conservative politicians, The Australian and other supposed to represent us, people just give up on them.”

“I’m at a loss as to why vaccines are the new boogaloo.

Notafan, I am not an anti-vaccer however I have doubts about any Covid vaccine due to the rush to create it. Vaccinations usually take years to develop.
And as for “free from compulsion”….just watch…it’ll be compulsory….or if not, they’ll make life hard if you choose not to have it. You’ll be smeared as an anti-vaccer if you express doubts about the safety of the vaccine.
This may have been linked before, but Daniel Greenfield has an interesting piece on how election of Secretary of State in key states was used to “win” the presidency.

Yes well I trust Donald Trump has done the right thing to facilitate these various reputable companies to produce vaccines.
Even the US is talking herd immunity of 70% which allows a huge space for those who don’t want to get it.
I bet all those democrats will be lining up for their dose of Trump Elixir in December and January.
And then watch joyfully while Biden puts Americans last on the 21st January.

Ah, those were the days. Hanging chads and a compliant SCOTUS.
The Chicom flu has a quite low fatality rate and the life years lost by the oldies are few if any. It won’t take much of a down the track problem with the vaccine to make it not worth taking from a risk management point of view. The vaccines use new technology which has not been proven in the long term to not cause harm.
This could make Thalidomide look like a very minor problem. Imagine if 5 to 10% of the population who took the vaccine develop various severe auto immune diseases a few years from now which is one possibility with mRNA vaccine or so I’ve read.
Anyone wanting to bet the scum who run this country would let us know that was the cause?

Hes specifically including their ABC as worthy of funding from the internet levy they are looking at, when even Sims said they should be left out.
https://www.theguardian.com/media/2020/nov/25/google-and-facebook-news-payments-to-include-abc-and-sbs-after-change-to-draft-code
Australia’s mandatory news code no longer excludes the ABC and the SBS from receiving payments from Google and Facebook for using their content.
The addition of the public broadcasters is one of the significant changes treasurer Josh Frydenberg has made to the draft mandatory news code before it is tabled in parliament by 10 December.
Labor, the Greens and several crossbenchers suggested the ABC and SBS should be added to the ranks of Australian news publishers to benefit from the code, in the interests of helping to gain broad cross-party support for the legislation.
When he announced the draft code, the chair of the Australian Consumer and Competition Commission, Rod Sims, said the ABC and SBS were excluded because they were funded by the taxpayer.
If passed, the legislation would force Google and Facebook to share revenue from news links with Nine Entertainment, News Corp, and any other eligible media companies including Guardian Australia, or pay hundreds of millions of dollars in fines.

But more curious is the parallel universe he inhabits. Today is the second day where Trump is in a bunker and Biden is standing next to the flag on the green (where Dominion has just put three golf-balls marked ‘Biden’ in the whole, no doubt) looking relaxed, confident, and mentally composed – with the slight smile of a man who has executed a plan perfectly.
Has Rowe ever seen Biden? Or heard him speak?
Bizarro-world.
Why would I rush off for an injection for something I have to Google!
Having had shingles twice, let me advise you to look up another word: ‘misery’
Did not know there was a vaccine for this curse, so thanks for letting me know. Will bring it up with the doc the next time I’m there.
It’s very sad the father of the deceased soldier is not allowed to keep his son’s service award. What was his boy guilty of, and there was or is no trial. The fellow is deceased.
What’s going on here with the DVA and the Liberal Government they let things like this happen.
It’s just mystifying.
I always wonder that they keep him. Do they really think their target market will look at Rowe’s cartoons and nod their head with a wry smile?
Or is it more a ‘packaging’ thing. Business papers being very fond caricatures of the people they write about rather than just photographs.
Or perhaps they keep a page where they put all their corrections, retractions, and other confessions of journalistic misdeeds, and put Rowe’s cartoons there to stop people looking at the page for more than the split second it takes to register a Rowe toon is on the page.
Bizarro-world.
I’ve noticed the media have sort of altered pictures of Biden, making him look like a lovely kind, knowledgeable trustworthy statesman. Never any articles about the stupid demented things he has said or his perversions or corrupt activities.
Rowe would know that, and I bet if he had young daughters he would not let them near Biden.

Get a new doc; if he/she did not tell you during your last 2 bouts of shingles then he/she has let you down. I got shingles, recognised the symptoms and had the antiviral – Zovirax – which greatly reduced the symptoms. It is not a vaccine and must be taken in the first couple of days to be effective, and you still get symptoms which I then treated with some Calamine lotion.
And it has the potential to cause serious damage in some cases.
It is a pity that the immense good done by vaccines is being partially undone.

Horrible little condition.
We got lucky and caught one of our blokes having his first outbreak in 48 hrs, and arranged a special medication flight to ensure he got the anti-viral meds to stop it the same day.
Very lucky pickup, he came in about something completely different and happened to ask “what do you think this is” at the end.
Couple of patches of watery little blisters up the leg. Sent a pic to the doc for confirmation and it was shingles.
Have had a few patients with it, and yes, it is a miserable condition.
