Because he hasn't met a war of attrition he won't sign up for. read now...Disgusting – and hypocritical and probably racist – ploy backfires Keir Starmer’s Labour party has managed to disgust both left and right – and to scrape through the bottom of a truly hypocritical barrel – by exploiting abused children in an appalling attempt to score cheap political points. Starmer’s Labour tweeted its latest campaign tactic […]

You’ve heard of cancel culture…. I am simply appalled by what they’re doing down there. This is outrageous. But I think they’re making a mistake. Go ahead guys, mobilize Black people, women, and normal people everywhere who are sick and tired of all this gun violence. You are turning guns into an issue like abortion. Fine. Let’s have it out. The “optics” literally could not be worse.
The new law will punish anyone who helps a child obtain an abortion across state lines without parental consent.

Can you believe it? Dear Leader says to make it so: House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan is all for it: “We control the power of the purse, and that’s, we’re gonna have to look at the appropriations process and limit funds going to some of these agencies, particularly the ones who are engaging in the most egregious behavior,” Jordan told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo in an interview Sunday. When Bartiromo asked if he meant the Justice Department and FBI, Jordan responded: “Yeah.” I think Charlie Sykes is right. They now seem to be on a suicide mission. Unfortunately, there’s always the chance they will take the country down with them.

More Supreme Court corruption: CONSERVATIVE SUPREME COURT Justice Clarence Thomas has been regularly taking luxury trips financed by a billionaire Republican donor for over 20 years, according to a new investigation from ProPublica. Thomas “virtually every year” has accepted rides on private jets, stays at private resorts, and invitations to hang out on superyachts owned by real-estate mogul Harlan Crow. He hasn’t disclosed any of it, which ethics experts spoken to by ProPublica say could violate a federal law requiring justices to disclose most gifts. Meanwhile, Thomas has been one of the most conservative justices on a court dominated by conservatives. When the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last year, Thomas wrote a concurring opinion arguing it should reconsider rulings that established the right to contraception and same-sex marriage. He also made controversial rulings about the 2020 election results while his wife, Ginni Thomas, was pushing conspiracy theories and aggressively lobbying for the results to be overturned.
A combative Thomas told reporters that the gifts she received were not luxury items but were derived from budget-priced rabbit and bison.

It did, however, have options, one of which was to reject outright the Babylonian extravagance and complexity of arrangements consequent to a process marked Continue reading »
Despite some brilliant analyses of the AUKUS agreement from credible and informed commentators, it is hard for critics to get a hearing, much less influence policy. It will not have escaped the notice of regular readers of these pages that some of the smartest people in Australia have serious concerns about the AUKUS alliance and Continue reading »
There is something but not much to celebrate over the safeguard compromise. It may well ensure we reduce our emissions by 43%. But the Labor government’s continued permissive attitude to new fossil fuel projects is in blatant disregard of the IPCC’s pathway to a 1.5C limit on global warming. Just how conflicted is Labor? Until Continue reading »
It seems Liberal voters are figuring out that their party has been hijacked. Labor voters are slower off the mark, but Labor also bears little resemblance to its past. Political terminology lags even more, which obscures radical shifts in our political mainstream. Robert Menzies was reported by Senator Ron Boswell to have said in 1970: Continue reading »
