“REQUIEM FOR A SQUIRREL ☙ Sunday, November 3, 2024 ☙ C&C NEWS 🦠
Bonus post! Why is a squirrel story so important? It’s important for surprising and unexpected reasons. Today’s post offers the known facts and the astonishing implications.”

Looks like the lid has blown off the YSM attempt to “deep six” this –
“Sunday Smiles: Win It For Peanut and Fred”
Some stories take on a life of their own, and Peanut the Squirrel’s and Fred the Raccoon’s certainly did that.
I have a very small Twitter account–around 4000 followers–and a typical post I put up gets around 500 or fewer views. Let’s just say I am no Ben Shapiro or Elon Musk when it comes to followers.
“Yet I tweeted about Peanut and this happened. ”
“As I write this, the tweet has nearly a million views, and I expect it the final total to be at least 50% greater. It has been retweeted eight and a half thousand times, has 37,000 likes, and the views move so fast that I can see them change in real-time. ”

“Mice won squirrel” – punchline from old joke.
00
And
““Election” “Day” Minus Two.
The dispatch of a poor blameless (and rabies-free) squirrel is also a blunt illustration of the limits of the desperate American reliance on “constitutionalism” and its attendant legal sophistries: There can be no remedy in law for the state’s killing of Peanut and Fred. They are dead, and will stay dead. Even were Mark and Daniela Longo to get it to the US Supreme Court, that fact will not change — just as Mann vs Steyn, my own twelve-year lawsuit in the dank septic tank of the District of Columbia Superior Court, will not reach John Roberts and the gang until I am dead. As I used to say to Tucker, a republic of judges is a contradiction in terms.”

Squirrels are so so dangerous. In the UK some poor unfortunate train passengers on their way to catch a plane at Gatwick airport were savagely attacked by two squirrels and consequently missed their flight. Well, the railway company obviously thought the squirrels might attack … or something … maybe … because they cancelled the train and let the passengers rot. The official explanation was that they thought the squirrels might get scared. There’s a photo of one of the squirrels on the train looking remarkably un-scared.

The real Power is with the US Congress. One third of the Senate is up for grabs. If the Republicans win the Senate and Harris wins, then stalemate.

Democrats illegal election shenanigans in 2020 are being repeated in 2024. Why am I not surprised?
240
It shows the degree of infiltration of Deep State operatives and compliance of the Left and their agents such as the Lamestream Media that they can actually get away with this without scrutiny, investigations, legal actions or punishment of any kind.
If Trump’s votes can exceed the margin of fraud and he gets elected, he needs to establish national standards for election procedures that are designed to prevent fraud, e.g. honest voter rolls with no dead people or non-citizens, one vote per citizen, no votes for non-citizens, no electronic voting and no mail-out or mail-in ballots unless people have a genuine reason for not being able to attend a physical polling place (e.g. disability).l, vote ID etc..
340
End compulsory voting in Australia.
64
There is no compulsory voting in Australia. It is compulsory for you to attend to vote. Just show up you do not have to vote.
200
You do not have to mark your ballot – but you are issued a ballot (when you get your name ticked off the electoral roll) and you must place it in the provided receptacle.
You cannot leave with your ballot or dump it in the nearest bin.
The AEC also has a legal duty to reconcile every ballot issued … to every ballot in the ballot box, every spoiled ballot and every ‘out of area’ ballot.
50
In my electorate of 70k registered, 15k didn’t vote and there were 5k informal. I checked and this is the case for many electorates. Local Council was worse. Are they even fining folks?
10
Compulsory voting is not such a bad thing, the ancient Greeks referred to anyone who didn’t vote as ‘idiotes’.
05
All three of us are right.
And the outcome is what it is.
The idiots who came to the booths (they may not even heard the names they “vote” for) decided the faith of Australia.
30
They could do away with compulsory voting at the Local Council elections, but that may encourage candidates to buy votes.
12
IIRC
Back when history was taught –
The battle to getting votes for all citizens was laid out.
And compulsory voting was the reminder to not let the privilege slip – or be taken away.
10
I am concerned on two counts.
First is that no follow up information has been forthcoming. How many ballots were received illegally and what happened to them?
Second is that these may not be the droids we are looking for.
This second issue partially revolves around whether there are official accessible records on who has “voted” and where this takes efforts to stop the steal. For example in Arizona a judge ordered the authorities to release details of 1.2 MILLION potentially ineligible inactive voters still on the voting roll https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/11/obama-judge-rules-that-sos-adrien-fontes-must/
Now if a whole swag of these inactive voters turn up to vote and later appear among the 1.2 MILLION?
Well so what? The ballots will have been injected into the system by then. The only remedy would be not certifying the election result. It will be cold comfort to have rock solid proof of a scam by then because NOBODY can say whose vote tally they were added to.
I’m sure somebody among the good guys is way ahead of me. Perhaps we are about to witness a HUGE sting. Perhaps the cheats will realize the jig is up and call the whole steal off.
Who knows? May the farce be with you.
50
I love your wishful thinking Forrest. The Democrats could not win any election if they did not cheat. The republicans make the mistake that everybody is honest like they are. Same here where the socialist parties refuse voter ID but the conservatives think it would be good. The socialists obviously benefit from no ID. The AEC say 18000 duplicate votes does not change an election but what if they are in only five or six electorates that are usually close?

ozone hole latest.See chart on left hand side.
https://ozonewatch.gsfc.nasa.gov/
what is the ozone hole? Good explanation here plus the claim that it is the 7th lowest since action began in 1992. Depends what measure is being used but surely it should be the lowest since 1992 and the minimum ozone does not seem to have improved
https://www.nasa.gov/earth/climate-change/ozone-layer/nasa-noaa-rank-2024-ozone-hole-as-7th-smallest-since-recovery-began/
Personally I think its always been there but we didn’t have the means to measure it prior to the mid 1950’s
61
Yea. Banning of many useful chemicals for no good reason, except societal destruction and disruption as loved by the Left.
Much the same as they’ve done with CO2 (what the Left annoyingly call “carbon” (sic) because they have no clue what they’re talking about).
https://www.heritage.org/environment/commentary/ozone-the-hole-truth
190
David, you’re telling only half the story: their favourite turn-of-phrase is carbon pollution which they/them want to pull down out of the atmosphere, like Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds (pure carbon), yet they accuse us of standing in a river in Egypt.
100
Carbon pollution usually accompanied by photographs of steam rising from a cooling tower.
190
And Maurice Strong, the same con merchant that started the organisation that became the IPCC, along with Bert Bolin, was also responsible for the Montreal Protocol.
50
My Greenhouse plants/vegetables love the extra CO2 and so do the bubbles in my beer (I mean. carbonated water)………….
80
Fluorochemistry is interesting. The more F added to a carbon structure, the more stable and nontoxic and non flammable it is. R12, CFC, CCl2F2, was extraordinarily stable, non toxic, non flammable, non reactive, non carcinogenic. It was the solvent/propellant for inhalers. ODP=1, Lifetime some claimed 100 yrs. Refrigerating effect 55 BTUH/Lb .
R-22, HCFC, CHFCl2, was the best balance of efficiency, nontoxicity, non flammability, and limited atmospheric lifetime, 7 yrs. Refrigerating effect 70 BTUH/lb.
Now the HFCs and blends ‘HydroFluoroCarbons’. Then the PFCs ‘Perflourinated Carbons’, then the PFEs ‘Perflourinated ethers’. And soon you run out of available structures. It is the bond energy of F that causes stability, non flammibility, non reactivity, non carcinogenicity, etc. Unless a structure is stably Fluorinated, it will be flammable, reactive, carcinogenic, corrosive, etc.
Now the advocates promote R32, mildly flammable, but in 1992 it was vociferously discounted as “too flammable and unsafe”, but now is 50% of R410A, and touted as the “new” refrigerant.
Politicians are about to legislate the world out of any functional refrigerants. Rather than “modeled and potential harms” we would face actual deaths by spoiled foods and social upheaval.
So, now, we’re back to Propane, R32, Ammonia, and other “natural” refrigerants. Navel Gazing has a cost, and that, quite soon.
It is amazing what ignorant, malevolent, incompetent, people can do.
150
‘The improvement is due to … an unexpected infusion of ozone carried by air currents from north of the Antarctic, scientists said.’
This is the key element, might have something to do with the Southern Annular Mode or jet stream behaviour.
10
SAM has been fairly negative for a few months, so theoretically a positive SAM assists ozone depletion.
https://weather.plus/aao-index.html
10
So says the NASA Goddard Space Centre. Noting, the Goddard centre blames climate change for the water to be there. Plenty of models for propagation from thunderstorms in the tropics to volcanic activity. Are we considering banning water from the atmosphere? An argument could be made that salt ions in water molecules in the stratosphere could also react with ozone using the exact same reaction as blamed on CFCs. I have had this thought for decades..how can you tell a chloride ion comes from a CFC as opposed to sea salt in a water molecule? They both exist in that environment.
30
The Hunga Tonga eruption was unprecedented and is hotly debated. It wasn’t human induced.
‘Water vapour in the stratosphere has two main effects. One, it helps in the chemical reactions which destroy the ozone layer, and two, it is a very potent greenhouse gas.
‘There is no precedent in our observations of volcanic eruptions to know what all that water would do to our climate, and for how long. This is because the only way to measure water vapour in the entire stratosphere is via satellites. These only exist since 1979, and there hasn’t been an eruption similar to Hunga Tonga in that time.’ (Climate Extremes)
10
And, it has always been a “crock”.
It is not a “hole”. There is a phenomenon called “lensing”, wherein the Ozone layer ™ changes size and that is mainly assocated with the angle of incidence of the sunlight..
What is Ozone?
A weird, short-lived oxygen variant; (O3). It is TOXIC and corrosive and best avoided.
It is CREATED by a specific band of Ultra-violet sunlight. Thus, the”hole” it has ALWAYS varied in size because the entire friggin’ PLANET is on a TILTED and Elliptical orbit around that big thermonuclear device in the sky.
CFCs migrating to the South Pole, but, strangely enough, NOT from the Northern hemisphere to Santa’s place.
“Situational Physics”, now?
Goes =with their “situational ethics”.
Next time the planet has a scheduled magnetic polar “realignment”; ALL bets are OFF. Virtually ALL terrestrial life will become “extinct”, as it were. BS?
The geological record of this cyclic behaviour is LITERALLY “set in stone”; mainly on deep oceansea-beds..
With monotonous regularity, the magnetic poles REVERSE. Why is there a “problem”? Because when the poles go “walkies”, the planetary magnetic field goes wonky. You know; the magnetic field that deflects a huge amount of harmful solar radiation. In the weeks or months that it takes for the “flip”, the entire revolving planet will be bathed in harmful radiation; the “sun-tan from Hell”. If you are a giant squid (or a crew-member on a nuclear submarine parked deep beneath the waves), you might be OK.
Let’s see what hare-brained schemes the usual sociopaths come up with to deal with that sort of event
20
I’m sure our CSIRO can find or not find anything the government desires. Recent finds include a big increase in temperature, failures include no improvement in crop yields due to extra CO2. They also find coral bleaching but can’t find coral recovery. The scientists there are like high priced escorts; willing to do whatever you are willing to pay for.

From Letters at Conservative Woman. “The Daily Telegraph seems to be in denial about the cost of net zero. It recently quoted Mr Miliband’s estimate of wind-farm costs at £150 per household but omitted to issue a correction when it was pointed out the capital cost of 100GW of windfarms is over £6,000 per household. Even that omits the cost of around 100GW of gas-turbine generators, which will be needed to provide back-up power when wind velocity is low.
https://www.current-news.co.uk/reaching-net-zero-to-cost-3bn-says-national-grid-eso/
Indeed, National Grid estimates their costs alone at £3 trillion, as seen on the web link below. McKinsey puts the total UK net zero cost at 7 per cent of GDP per annum through to 2050, which equates to around £5 trillion, or twice the national debt, at around £170,000 per household.”

And then there’s all those ‘slavery reparations’ the common people will have to fork out for ‘climate justice’ or summit stoopid like that.
Did a little weekend reading on ‘slavery’ and, Lord help us, the 3 branches of the Abrahamic religions (tyrannies?) were at the cutting-edge of human misery – after all, their Good Book(s) condone it – with more than a little help from various peoples on the periphery of so-called civilisation.
Those we refer to as Vikings had a well-oiled trade route, via inland rivers and seas, with certain empires of western Asia and northern Africa – the most-prized commodities being young white red-haired blue-eyed virgins of both sexes.
I need to lawyer-up and get me some of that endless pot-of-gold climate equity moolah!

Will Kemi Badenoch move back to her earlier views on Net Zero as ‘unilateral economic disarmament’?
She got that right but now feels she much walk some non-existent middle ground.
Unless she gets back to reality on Net Zero then Nigel Farage and Reform UK will continue to be the sole agent for economic sanity in the UK.

Quite a long article. I went to a refugee camp in Gaza and Lebanon in the early 1970’s. Why are they still there 75 years after Israel was created? $80 Billion given to the Palestinian leadership over the years has unfortunately mostly been used to create a highly armed state and not enough in raising living conditions of the general population.

Polymarket now with 17hrs 30minutes to go before the election has Trump down 4.7% at at 53.9% and Harris up 4.6% at 46.1%
00
Yes. Sadly polymarket is vulnerable to manipulation in the same way the share market is. The other betting markets likewise.
Whether it is a push to scalp the market or a push to influence public opinion or something altogether different is not clear. What is clear is that there are people with deep pockets who can game the market.
Remember Soros breaking the Bank of England? History does not repeat but it does rhyme.
130
The latest on the polling has Iowa going to Harris.
The view is that Harris has very strong support among women and there are a lot of new, younger, female voters coming out for Harris.
I do not think policies have much bearing on the result apart from abortion and Harris has locked in on that. She has been trying to recover the ground she lost in outing the lord supporter by now praising the lord.
00
There is a later poll by a fairly credible pollster which has Trump ahead by 10.
This is all a game of liar’s poker.
80
The punters are plunging on Harris after Iowa.
‘Vice President Kamala Harris’ betting odds jumped overnight after a new poll showed she held a surprise lead over former President Donald Trump in Iowa — a state he won easily in both 2016 and 2020.’ (Business Insider)
11
By the time the press gets hold of something the movers and shakers have moved, shaken and moved on.
There is no doubt in my mind that the betting market is being manipulated.
20
Its possible that the markets are being manipulated, however its probably just herd instinct.
‘The polls are often wrong, and the betting odds do not seem much better. In 2016, the odds of a Hillary victory were 88% compared to 13% for Trump. Our computer called it correctly, as was the case with BREXIT. With over 70 million in early voting, the computer will be correct on the turnout’, Martin Armstrong said.
01
Gordo, herd instinct is how manipulators move the markets.
00
H. L. Mencken had a few things to say about this sort of thing.
These will do for starters:
“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”
“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, and intolerable.”
“Men go mad in herds and recover their senses one by one”
“The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule. ”
See also, Voltaire:
“Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”

20
I am still hopeful of 312 for Trump.
It has been a long time since I have seen such glaring opportunities to improve productivity.
By the time Hawk and Thatcher were in power, it was clear to me that trade union economic destruction needed to be reversed. Both Hawk and Thatcher, on opposite sides of the political spectrum, reduced the economic destruction of the trade unions.
We now have socialists strongly embedded in government and doing a massive amount of damage. Huge losses in productivity as a large portion of the woking population now devoted to destroying capital.
Four years of Trump may well reverse the unilateral economic disarmament of the west that is Net Zero.
70
The possibilities for real change with a Trump win are huge. Not so if it’s Harris.
My fave is the thought of an Elon swinging scythe through the public service sector and the regulation book.
30
Abortion as a Federal issue should no longer exist.
.
Thanks to the Dobbs vs Jackson SCOTUS ruling it is not a pert of the suite of Federal issues.
Kamala can do nothing legally about that.
.
I doubt that Congress can even legislate this issue, as it is now a state issue and any Abortion laws created by Congress can be legally challenged.
.
The only thing that Kamala can do is appoint more SCOTUS Judges and then line up another case (like Dobbs vs Jackson) to reinstate Abortion as a Federal right.
For 50 years Democrats had the opportunity to enact legislation to underpin this former Federal right – but they did nothing – preferring to use the Abortion issue as a cudgel against their political opponents.
40
That is basically what Harris is saying needs to be done. She has suggested Trump stacked the Supreme Court to the right. She would reverse that if the opportunity arises, which is not out of the question. There will be three incumbent justices 70+ by 2028. If Trump proposes replacements, the SCTUS could be right wing for a generation.
00
All based on a single fake poll. “Ann Selzer says Kamala Harris has leapfrogged Donald Trump in the state”
“For those paying attention, Selzer went from Trump +18 in Iowa in June against Biden and then magically shifted (checks notes) 21 points to Kamala in November.
Keep the receipts, kids. There is zero scenario on the planet this is remotely accurate.”
“I’m from Iowa. Kamala Harris has zero chance of winning Iowa. Trump will beat her by close to double digits. This poll is laughably silly.”

I watched a Channel 7 special on the US election last night. It was so one-sided, that it was nothing short of a Harris advertisement.

In New York, Demon-rat authorities murdered a squirrel.
And if rabies was a concern, squirrels only rarely carry it. It was no reason to murder this squirrel if nothing is done about millions of squirrels in the wild.

State and Federal Laws require that Animal Control officers be equipped with Kevlar or Stainless steel chain mail gauntlet gloves when accosting suspected aggressive animals.
So, where did the 12 officers fail to heed their own requirements for protective equipment and why. Were they incompetent? or manufacturing a “bite event” to justify killing the squirrel and raccoon ?
Looks like a “set up” to me. If they got bitten, it was their own fault.

If Democrat fraud isn’t successful in “winning” this US election I fear they are going to exercise extreme violence, far worse than their riots of 2020. They really do feel entitled to rule and do as they please. The last regime which ruled America and had this mentality led to the American Revolution and independence from Once Great Britain.
This resulted in the Declaration of Independence which reads in part:
Which of these Rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness have the Demon-rats not violated and will not violate in future?
150
I fear that the vast armouries created by Obama in every plausible federal department are at this very moment being emptied into the hands of military aged men that have recently arrived in the US. Quite correctly they have assumed that the American military will not participate in wholesale slaughter of their own and thus they needed others on hand to do so.
We in the South Pacific will not be immune to the social, economic and political fallout. Buy gold and silver!
60
Yes.
Why does the US IRS (tax collection agency) need weapons and combat gear? It’s a civilian agency, not police or military.
60
Don’t panic yet – remember those “well trained” temporary secret service people who were guarding Trump?
20
You need that sort of hardware to enforce a “cashless society” with a “social credit” system.
ALL of this dates back to the “Prohibition” era. When the madness of prohibition “went away, what were they to do with an ARMY of “hevy hitter?
Go after any “newly-created enemy they could invent.
And here we are.
00
And there is a grave danger should the house election be stolen. There is a dem theory that the house can declare Trump ineligible for election because he has committed insurrection.
Now that theory is wrong and of course Trump did no such thing BUT …
The supreme court has been fairly clear that it has no intention of “interfering” with the business of the house. So the house can and in democrat hands has a history of doing whatever it feels like. That includes subverting elections.
I still remember when people said that no court could possibly convict Trump on any of the obviously ludicrous charges. Not that I like to say I told you so but I pointed out that a combination of the wrong jury and the wrong judge can wrongly find anybody guilty of anything. I often wish I had not seen and experienced the things I have seen and experienced in court rooms.
The wrongly chosen or stolen house may just be insane enough to blow the whole thing to hell.
We live in interesting times.

Australia Reports Historic Death Surge Among Vaccinated Population

During the lengthy briefing, some of Japan’s leading researchers revealed that Covid “vaccines” have now been linked to thousands of side effects.
“It is unprecedented in human history for a single vaccine to have this much literature out on it,” said Masayasu.
“You will find diseases of the heart, kidney, thyroid, diabetes, liver, skin, eyes, blood, nerves, systemic diseases, brain, lungs.”
Fukushima said the mRNA vaccine disperses throughout the body and is not contained in the shoulder like most vaccines.
Fukushima said authorities preaching the safe and effective message ignored a wide body of evidence and should go back to school.

And these statistics show up despite the Australian Government altering the way excess deaths were calculated to try and minimise the visibility of excess deaths.
I wonder how much worse the real figures are?
NOTE: I cannot find a reference for the ABS (Australian Bureau of Statistics) for changing their methodology for counting excess deaths. Perhaps it was reported here by Jo. Does someone have a reference for that? I certainly remember reading about it.
60
There is some information about changes to ABS excess mortality statistics here:

One would probably get some interesting information if requests were made for data on diseases such as colon cancers in certain aged cohorts, autoimmune thyroiditis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, incidence of out of hospital cardiac events, etc. over the last 10 years. All diseases get coded and submitted to the relevant authorities who are charged with the health of the nation. Epidemiology 101.

I think there may be another aspect that has being flying under the radar too which is car accidents. A few months ago we had the NSW one where a vehicle went into a pub beer garden and killed a family and last week the Victorian school incident where a woman doing a U-turn ploughed through a fence into a group of kids. Then there are the ran off the straight road and into a tree single car accidents – attributed to excess speed….. ok how long were the brake marks on the road.
Secondary reports about the tragic Melbourne one – after the P plater focus – mentioned potential “medical episode” and the NSW one suggested another “medical episode” linking it to diabetes perhaps.
Despite all the extra policing and holiday period increases in fines/demerit points we currently have a 9.9% increase on last years total. Suggest we need confirmation that “they” are or if not “they” will factor in a) common links like diabetes and b) common links like inoculation. Dead people tell no tales so the tree crashes/veered into oncoming traffic need expanded consideration for link IMHO. You can travel a great distance during 15 seconds of blackout.

Hmm, used to be that if you were in a motor accident and died with a positive (incidental) covid test, that you were counted as a ‘covid death’. I wonder if they’ll bring in a category for road accident death caused by covid vax? (sarc, of course I don’t wonder)
40
I think the base data is pretty ropey – ‘Died overseas’ – ABS include ‘if notified’ – there is no process set out for how this happens
00
There remains an urgent need to actually compare death and disability rates between the vaxxed and unvaxxed, at a scale that would give us an unequivocal answer. The 2021+ rise in excess mortality, on its own, doesn’t convince me the vaccines are the cause, as much as I distrust them. We cannot say, at this stage, whether the increase in cancers, heart issues, etc are not the result of Covid itself. It might even be caused by BOTH the vaccines AND Covid, due to the spike protein in both.
It beggars belief that we don’t know. That simple comparison would be quick and easy to do. And quite apart from the public interest aspect, surely this is a vital health matter which will impact humanity for years, possibly decades, so why isn’t this being done?
101
Correct but I can’t imagine that ever happening.
50
The viral spike protein differs from the vaccine spike and they can be stained to differentiate. This is what Arne Burkholtz (I hope I have that correct) first demonstrated when looking at post mortem stains of the heart. It was all vaccine spike. This is not to say that the virus is not responsible for some pathology. Fauci and his funders knew that post mortem examinations would show the truth and thus there has been a sudden worldwide disinterest in post mortem examinations.
Both Australian immunologist Robert Clancy and British oncologist Angus Dalgleish have pointed out how the vaccine has inhibited the anti cancer action of the CD4 lymphocytes as a likely cause of the sudden increase in cancers either of unusual types, reactivations or in unusual age groups. They are both interesting men to listen to with their vast depth of knowledge and experience.

Compare this to yesterday’s article about the Deep State and think about Australia’s own one! Why do we only get to find out how two-faced and lying this so-called Conservative was, after he retires?? A top diplomat for Australia, a ‘Right-wing’ Senator and a federal attorney-general, now his true colours show as typical staff member at ANU.
“The word “fascist” is usually a term of abuse … it is now the considered judgment upon Trump of respectable senior generals…The warnings of sober people like Milley and Kelly – not political figures but military officers bred in an ethic of service – cannot be written off as hysterical campaign overstatement. Only a fool – or a Fox News propagandist – would dismiss them….The more often that respectable conservatives, or members of the national security establishment, denounce him, the more compelling his pose as the champion of the alienated becomes…
Whether or not Trump is rightly described as a fascist, a demagogue he certainly is. And if the history of the past century has taught us anything, it is surely to take demagogues seriously. They usually mean what they say. The great paradox of this election is that a notorious and systematic liar can probably be trusted to keep his promises.
A recent poll found 73 per cent of Australians do not want Trump back in the White House. That means nearly half of Liberal voters prefer the alternative, however uninspiring she may be. Yet there is a small but voluble element of the right-wing commentariat barracking for Trump, regardless of the threat he poses to global security and Australia’s interests.”
The whole outrage of these professional slimeballs is demonstrated in one line-
“The great paradox of this election is that a notorious and systematic liar can probably be trusted to keep his promises.”
They cannot stand the honesty of Trump!! An outsider in the sleazy world of politics, one of ‘us’, not one of ‘them’. As for George Brandis, this is a typical view of the world from a typical mouthpiece who was in power to advance the Deep State adgenda.

How do these newcomers get hold of firearms?
Under which Immigration Ministers did they come?
Where is the trail of paperwork from the Dept of Immigration, bearing the signatures of the public servants who signed off on their suitability for integration?
Many more questions that won’t be asked.

“How do these newcomers get hold of firearms?”
Never a problem for criminals, only the law-abiding abide by the law.. I reckon we should arm everyone, every black from Sudan looking to kill some other Sudanese, and ever Aussie living in the neighbourhoods they frequent. Give it a year or two and the surviving people would be quite polite to each other.
20
That it is possible to ‘assess suitability for integration’ is a fallacy – I can tell you there are a lot of guns, but no gangs or rap, in South Sudan. Sadly, I think many find the crime in Australia

With all the focus on the Presidential race, the house races will only appear after Nov 5. Where do you think the Dems are spending their 3 to 1 financial advantage? Trump could win in a landslide, and still be a lame duck president.
30
The trickle down effect is huge. The Senate is looking at a 55/45 split. And the House might give three out of three for the Republicans.
And what they are not saying is that a lot of registered Democrat voters are voting Republican.
20
Or worse, as above a dem house can simply declare Trump ineligible for election on the basis that they say he is an insurrectionist.
And it doesn’t seem to need to go through both houses.
And the supreme court is unlikely to intervene.
Good luck everybody!

If Trump wins, he will only be the second to win non consecutive terms in US history or the parties in their current form since the Civil War. And the first Republican. It means that everyone has gone through three consecutive campaigns where Trump was the Republican nominee.
So it’s amazing that the Democrats are making up all this stuff when Trump was President less than four years ago. Trump built the wall. Democrats immediately opened the gates. Trump closes the gates. Where does Fascist come into it? And how can Governor Hochul and Nancy Pelosi claim Make America Great Again supporters are ‘anti-American’ and ‘unpatriotic’? What?
There is a lot in the attacks on the Deplorables, the Garbage, the Conservative ‘Fascists’, Catholics and Jews which does not make any sense. No one even voted for Harris. The Democrats are treating their own members as stupid. I suspect a lot of rusted on Democrats will ignore Obama/Clinton/Schumer/Jeffries/Pelosi and vote Trump, even in deep Blue states.

And if Harris wins it will be the first woman to lead the Alliance. Gosselin endorses Trump, but he recognises the historical moment no matter what the outcome.

In the wake of the recent action against the supermarkets I notice that in Woolworths yesterday there have been changes to the pricing information cards on the shelf edges for many products.

Okay then, best sites to watch the U.S. election results as they roll along.
I’ve been doing this now since I started ‘blogging’ back in 2008, and while most sites are good, perhaps one of the most comprehensive for watching results is the Politico site at the following link.
Election Results 2024: Live Map
Under the Politico heading you see a menu bar for all aspects of the vote, so you can look at whatever part of the race you might wish to see.
I’ve always found it to be perhaps the most informative site to watch on the day, with results updated quite quickly as the count progresses. This was where I first (very oddly) saw some massive vote dumps for a couple of States late in the count, and hey, how lucky can you get, eh!
And from the 2020 race, here’s one of the Jurisdictions to keep a close eye on for the, umm, ‘closeness’ of the vote.
Washington DC Election Result 2020 (almost as safe as the former palace chook seat of Inala in Queensland, now held by a non Palaszczuk for the first time in 32 years, after being won at the by-election a few Months back when ‘dear leader’ resigned to ….. “hey look over there”)
Tony.
70
Thanks for the tip Tony. From memory last time I remember flipping around several sites surprisingly including CNN.
I wonder how many instances we’ll see this time like last time where vote counts go backwards. The big cheat will soon be revealed and it will be blindingly obvious.
As for the former member for Inala, I am yet to meet a Polish person who pronounces Palasz anything other than Palace and czuk anything other than chook.
30
Australian’s have this wonderful propensity for Australianising some difficult to pronounce names.
I have always used Palace Chook, going back to the days when Henry, (Heinrich) her Father was the first MP for that Electorate, and it got me into trouble, because people actually thought I was slagging off at his name.
Then there’s the Australian batsman Marnus Labuschagne ….. la boos skak ne with the boos oo as in look.
And don’t get me started on Kos shoos ko. (evidently some Mountain here in Australia) Huh! Go looking at that name, and see just how many differing pronunciations there are.
It’s infuriating at times, the casual way that Australians don’t even take the time to find a correct pronunciation.
My name is Anton, and I went through life with so many people mispronouncing it in so many ways. When I corrected them, it was a perceived as a case of my actually being rude.
I had to wait till I was almost 18 before finding another person with the same name.
Everyone had an idea on the origin of the name.
Years later, I asked Mum where the name came from. She had two long christian names, even then termed as old school names, names she herself never even used, going through life with a shortened and stylised version of one of those christian names. (Mardi) My Father also had three christian names as well, and they swore they would never ‘lumber’ their children with something like that, so we all had just the one christian name, and there were five of us children. I was the first born, in 1951.
There was no TV even then, so all they had was a radio gram with a record player.
Mum and Dad would read prior to dropping off to sleep. (Mum was 21, and Dad 22 when they married) Dad loved his Science Fiction, as did Mum as well, and back then, SF came in the form of large paper magazine sized booklets, similar to comics, in colour, and now termed as ‘pulp fiction’, and there were a number of them at the time. Most of the who’s who of science fiction got their starts with these early ‘magazines’ I guess you’d term them.
Anyway, Mum was ‘out to here’ with me, just before I was born, and Dad was into one of the many short stories in these mags. One of the characters in the short piece was called Anton, and Dad leaned across to Mum, and said ….. what do think of that name then, And that’s where Anton my name came from. Nothing romantic like central European or anything like that. Just an obscure made up character name from a cheapo SF mag.
I have always loved the name, and even though it was shortened to Tony (and Mum told me that shortening it to Tony was looked on as easier to pronounce than Anton, for others that is) I always thought of it as a nice thing that I had such a rare name.
Tony.
70
We used to listen to the radio series of things like ‘War of the Worlds’ and ‘Day of the Triffids’ together, completely enthralled. Inside my head are much better versions of those tales than the Hollywood kind.
20
I remember in the late 50s before we moved from Mexico, sorry Victoria, to Queensland in 1960, I would listen to Biggles every morning on the radio.
And every evening Mum and Dad had ‘their’ radio serials they would listen to as well.
Tony.
30
By the time I was fourteen I had read all the Biggles books and associated stuff, Gimlet?, Worrall?
What else was there to do.
20
And here, palace chook is not meant derogatorily at all.
It’s the way the name is actually pronounced.
And hey, going off again on another tangent, that word derogatorily. It’s the English pronunciation of the word, and as in so many other cases, different (but similar) words are used for American (English) language, as their word is derogatively.
When my wonderful late wife Bob’s father passed away in March of ’97, there were some things of his that he and I worked out beforehand would come to me. One of them was one of the first Seiko Quartz watches produced, which still works to this day, and four books, all large reference books, and one wonderful large hard cover Bible, which is as new now as when first purchased. When some others saw this was all I really wanted, I got some really weird looks and a curious ….. “is that all you wanted?”
One of the books was a full sized hard back illustrated Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, the fifth edition, and this iteration was first printed in 1941, so it’s now 83 years old. It’s in very good nick considering, and is a wonderful second reference to go alongside my Macquarie Encyclopedic Dictionary.
Now, it’s not like you read a dictionary like a novel, but it’s so good to be able to compare words (and their meanings) across the many decades, and just a casual opening of this wonderful dictionary at ANY page at all will show you a number of words that have completely gone out of our language. And when they say illustrated, there’s between one and five illustrations on every page you wish to open it up at. It also has the ‘indent’ for every letter of the alphabet.
That Dictionary from 1941 lists both of the above words as of similar meaning.
Tony.

Corruption……..the biggest issue facing Australians…the Pandemic of Distrust.
The following sms to me this morning stimulated me to write this early than I had anticipated. It follows from years of frustration that a so-called health system is making people sick; a health system dominated by big pharma and its useless drugs and diseases created by big ultra-processed food. We are now a country where many people can no longer afford to buy high quality foods and certainly cannot afford to purchase nutrients they may need to supplement their pathetic state of malnourishment. Brought about by the mal-information created by the so-called leaders with their misinformation and disinformation.
Basically, the medical ‘profession’ in this country just ‘followed orders’, because they were terrified of Ahpra, and had no moral leadership in their wretched medical colleges and professional associations to lead them out of the abyss…”

It’s possible I’ve been misled.
Someone has.
My liberal American compatriots (officially an anachronism in about 24 hours), think everything is fine.
The vaccine is safe, Climate Change is real, men can have children, the NYT and WP are not propaganda, the election system is not corrupt, Trump is Hitler and Harris is joyful.
The rest of us, in subdued tones, out of earshot of the others, murmur about how a huge portion of the others have lost their minds.
So, I write this on the Last Day of the World We Thought We Lived In.
We’ve seen it coming, but kept hoping somehow some adults would show up and restore sanity.
So, unless I’m also the the victim of misleading information …
the US election will put the final nail in the construction of the House that Climate Change and Pandemic built.
The final G-string comes off the last of the leading institutions of the Western World and the naked corruption shown beyond doubt.
At least we know that America will remain the most racist sexist country ever, whether she wins or loses.
Other than that, everything changes.

“The final G-string comes off the last of the leading institutions of the Western World and the naked corruption shown beyond doubt.”
Some leaders have been forced to realise, and then act, upon the same. I’ve been seeing these here and there for the last couple of years- Some big heads have rolled, Putin has had a massive house-cleaning that the West will undergo in the next war.
“According to media reports, the former deputy commander of the Southern District of the Russian Guard demanded 140 million rubles from the supplier of modules for prefabricated buildings and threatened to terminate the contract worth 480 million if the money was not forthcoming.
