The biggest fool idea from futurists
Jack Kemp
Recently I've seen talk on the internet about how people who buy a $59,000 Tesla or even a $35,000 electric vehicle will want to rent their car out as a self driving vehicle while they are at their job from 9 to 5. As This is the biggest techie nerd fantasy going around these days. I even saw a major former hedge fund manager talk about this online. I wonder if he is interested in doing this himself because of the following reasons.
A week or so ago, the NY Post reported that a regular rental car was returned with various packets of drugs and new needles in the back seat. And individual users aren't normally as disciplined as many drug dealers. Even without drugs, do you want to get your nice car returned to you with french fries stuck in the seat cushions or with the renter being someone who has Covid or HIV or whatever leaving their germs in your car? This idea of renting out your private self drive car for extra income is going to be a lot less popular than some futurists will imagine.
Is some woman - particularly one with small children - going to want her family
Electric Vehicle rented out to some stranger with their germs? And will her husband put up a big fight with his wife over this to convince her to get a few extra dollars each month?
This "everyone will rent out their Tesla" hypothesis is pure
fantasy concocted by a nerd. A nerd who might be a customer of the drug dealer who left all their business supplies in the back of that New York area rental car.

You Will Live Well or Die
This from Chester McAteer:
One of the most astonishing facts in this country today is the abject ignorance of not only the history of this country but the history of the 20th Century. You can put lipstick on a pig but it doesn’t alter the fact that it’s a pig. Among young people today there’s this inordinate attraction to Socialism, it’s been packaged nicely, dressed up and it looks good. What they don’t know is the history of socialism, nor the economics nor the mechanics. You can put the word Democratic in front of the word Socialism, like lipstick on a pig, but then you have to understand that most countries that have embraced Socialism did so through Democratic or in some cases, revolutionary means. One of the things we forget was that in the 1930s we had Democratic Naziism and Democratic Fascism, they came to power democratically.
Karl Marx said, and it's a popular slogan among Socialist: "Each according to his ability, to each according to his needs". It sounds really good until you discover what it really means in Marx’s writings and in all the Socialist literature up to this present day. In fact, a friend brought me a flyer back from a 2016 Bernie Sanders rally, he was so shocked by it he instantly abandoned support for Sanders, I wish I could find it and post it.
In the flyers all the usual utopian ideas were espoused but also another Socialist policy was espoused, one that harkened back to the early 20th Century and that was the Socialist and Progressive policy of Eugenics. That is that only those who are productive to the goals of the Socialist State are allowed to live in the Socialist Society.
Now to understand this policy that is fundamental to the Ideology of Marx and indeed in all Socialism, we must read the writings of the Socialist George Bernard Shaw and others.
George Bernard Shaw speaking of the Socialist Utopia, he said:
"Under Socialism, you would not be allowed to be poor. You would be forcibly fed, clothed, lodged, taught, and employed whether you liked it or not. If it were discovered that you had not the character and industry enough to be worth all this trouble, you might possibly be executed in a kindly manner; but whilst you were permitted to live, you would have to live well.â€
"The notion that persons should be safe from extermination as long as they do not commit willful murder, or levy war against the Crown, or kidnap, or throw vitriol, is not only to limit social responsibility unnecessarily, and to privilege the large range of intolerable misconduct that lies outside them, but to divert attention from the essential justification for extermination, which is always incorrigible social incompatibility
"We should find ourselves committed to killing a great many people whom we now leave living, and to leave living a great many people whom we at present kill. We should have to get rid of all ideas about capital punishment …
A part of eugenic politics would finally land us in an extensive use of the lethal chamber. A great many people would have to be put out of existence simply because it wastes other people's time to look after them."
"The moment we face it frankly we are driven to the conclusion that the community has a right to put a price on the right to live in it … If people are fit to live, let them live under decent human conditions. If they are not fit to live, kill them in a decent human way. Is it any wonder that some of us are driven to prescribe the lethal chamber as the solution for the hard cases which are at present made the excuse for dragging all the other cases down to their level, and the only solution that will create a sense of full social responsibility in modern populations?"
You can also read the writings of G.D.H. Cole, Sidney Webb, his wife Beatrice Webb, of Harold Laski, H.G. Wells.
H.G. Wells another Socialist, a fact not well known, said of the Socialist State, which they titled as the New Republic, for which the modern Leftist magazine is named: "For a multitude of contemptible and silly creatures, fear-driven and helpless and useless, unhappy or hatefully happy in the midst of squalid dishonour, feeble, ugly, inefficient, born of unrestrained lusts, and increasing and multiplying through sheer incontinence and stupidity, the men of the New Republic will have little pity and less benevolence.â€
"The men of the New Republic will not be squeamish, either, in facing or inflicting death, because they will have a fuller sense of the possibilities of life than we possess. They will have an ideal that will make killing worthwhile.â€
As Lenin said, "The goal of Socialism is Communismâ€

Still More Russian Collusion
Timothy Birdnow
Part III of my Trump/Russian collusion argument. See part II here.
James Doogue says:
Susan LonginetteI'm not sure you read the WAPO article if you think it provides any evidence, other than the headline, into collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. The headline tantalisingly states: "...there really was collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia..." and then provides zero evidence of that. But it knows the mug reader will interpret what it does present as proof the Trump campaign colluded with Russia.
Before I get into showing up the WAPO articlke, bear in mind that if the anti-Trump forces were prepared to attempt to unseat him using the Ukraine phone call, and Trump's speech to supporters (as evidence of insurrection), other laughable, they would certainly have used evidence of Russian collusion.
So what does the WAPO article really offer?
It claimed "damning details of the extent of cooperation between the Trump campaign and Russian intelligence operatives."
So let's see what they were:
1. "that a longtime partner of Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort was, in fact, a Russian intelligence officer.â€
Even if this were true, it isn't evidence that there was collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. There was no involvement of the Trump campaign mentioned AT ALL, regarding this evidence. There was just speculation that this alleged, not proven Russian operative, Konstantin Kilimnik , who had nothing to do with the Trump campaign, MAY have been involved in an also unproven plot to break into a Democratic Party computer.
The 'evidence' was all pure speculation supported by zero proof. Printed in WAPO and believed as fact by a gullible public.
Meanwhile, based on proven facts you'd impeach half the Democrats. Off the top of my head, and all the way from Australia, I can think of three major instances which should have lead to impeachment of senior Democrats.
- The vice chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee and a ranking member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) had a Communist Chinese spy in her office. A 20-year employee of Feinstein’s, the agent had been reporting back to China’s Ministry of State Security for well over a decade before he was caught in 2013, according to the FBI.
That employee was Russell Lowe who worked for 20 years in Feinstein’s San Francisco office, where he was a staff liaison to the Asian-American community before leaving approximately five years ago.
- A report from the FBI in December last year, "On Friday the FBI briefed GOP Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and House Speaker Pelosi on Swalwell’s relationship with the Chinse spy Fang Fang."
Swalwell currently sits on the House Intelligence Committee and has access to some of the nation’s most highly classified information.
Fang was a "bundler†for Eric Swalwell and other Democrat candidates but it was also believed the Chinese spy and honeypot had an intimate relationship with Swalwell.
"The FBI also briefed congressional leaders on the details of Fang Fang’s interactions with lawmakers on behalf of communist China.â€
- "I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings,†Biden claimed in September 2019 while campaigning in Iowa.
Since the release of the Hunter Biden emails from his laptop. A story successfully suppressed by mainstream media and big Tech before the election, we know that isn't true. There are undisputed emails showing Biden's meetings with a Ukrainian businessman and involvement with Chinese deals.
Neither Joe Biden nor his campaign specifically disputed the authenticity of underlying facts discussed in any of the texts, e-mails, and contracts disclosed from the laptop, or by Tony Bobulinski, a retired Navy lieutenant, who was the CEO of SinoHawk, a joint venture between the Biden family and a CCP controlled entity. Instead, the Biden campaign claimed, without evidence, that the Russians are responsible for Hunter Biden’s business partner and a Biden family insider releasing evidence of Joe Biden’s participation in Hunter’s overseas business dealings.
2. the WAPO article also stated about the committee's report, "It offers new proof that former national security adviser Michael Flynn lied about his conversations with the Russia’s ambassador to the United States,"
What seems to have been forgotten in all of this regarding Mike Flynn is:
- There was nothing illegal about him talking to the Russian Ambassador. He was legally entitled to do so as the incoming NSI.
- The conversation was recorded by the FBI and there was nothing illegal said by Flynn.
- The FBI illegally set out to trap Flynn in a lie so that he could be changed with lying to the FBI even though the lie was not materially relevant to anything. Flynn pleased guilty because the FBI threatened to put his family and friends through the wringer if he didn't.
We all know that in the US, even if you are innocent Justice can be very expensive. Flynn lied because he saw no reason to discuss his phone call with the Russian Ambassador since it wasn't relevant to the reason the FBI have for talking with him in the first place.
Also remember that the FBI got the FISA warrant to listen in on the phone conversation based on the fake Steele dossier. In any other area of law, any evidence gathered under an illegally gained warrant would be poisoned and inadmissible.
Regardless of the technicalities of the matter - still no proof of collusion with the Russians to change the election out come. Particularly because this phone call happened AFTER the election.
There were no damning details of any collusion in that article, yet you putting that forward as your proof Susan. That demonstrates very clearly you aren't actually looking for facts. Just cheerleaders for your beliefs.
Susan Longinettewith regards your comments regarding taxes. Again, you are simply repeating the Democrat line. If there was any known illegality regarding Trump's tax affairs, it would have been leaked and pursued by the Establishment who hate Trump.
Property valuations are altered all the time due to market conditions both up and down. there's no illegality in that.
Your statement that he paid no Federal taxes is naive. You are being deliberately manipulated by the media who know the general public don't understand taxes.
If Trump has already paid hundreds of millions in taxes in prior years, then he has one business Enterprise which has been under administration for years come out of administration with massive write-downs dating back to prior years, Trump is entitled to re-submit prior years Tax returns. This is essentially what he did.
The IRS has agreed but it's been sitting with the Senate Joint Committee for approval.
If Trump has losses from prior years to carry forward, he won't pay any more Federal taxes.
There have been years when I don't pay taxes after submitting my returns. That's because I have tax credits from tax paid during the year, or I have carried forward losses, or approved write - downs.
The media can't claim they know for sure Trump is cheating on his taxes. But then explain how come he isn't being prosecuted by the IRS.
It is clear you are arguing with what you think you know, not what you know Susan. You need to be far more sceptical and do much better research.

Susan, I know you won't like Fox News. But you wouldn't have seen it anywhere else. Here are the sworn evidence statements from all the major players who claimed to have evidence of Russia Collusion.
When under oath, they all admitted they had ZERO evidence including Adam Schiff, Jim Clapper, Samantha Power, Susan Rice, Loretta Lynch, who claimed many times that there was irrefutable evidence Trump colluded with the Russians.

The Dem's War on Women's Rooms
Jack Kemp
With the Biden's Executive Orders and the Congress's ban on gender specific terminology (men, women, etc.), we see a clear pattern.
Transgendered athletes will allow teen boys who claim to be women in the girl's bathroom in high schools and grade schools. So those that cannot afford a private or charter school or whose parents can't manage home schooling have to either fear for their daughters' safety. And when such bathroom policies are carried to the Capitol building itself, there women have to wonder what visitor may accompany them into the nominally named women's restroom.
Years ago, I took a bus tour to Maryland and got to visit the historic state capitol building in Annapolis Besides seeing the room where George Washington resigned his general's commission and the tea set mounted on the wall that was in former USS Maryland naval ships (the current USS Maryland is a submarine and has no room for such tea sets), I heard an interesting anecdote. The privies (what we call toilets) at or just outside the capital were only for men. That means that any woman in colonial times either had to have friends who owned prime property near the capital or she would have great problems in visiting a state legislature session or the building itself with its Italian marble floor whose colors matched those of the state flag.
The new Biden rules on allowing transgenders in women's and girls' restrooms is a major hindrance to female participation in the activities in those publicly owned buildings.
About a year ago, Target stores announced they would have non-gender specific restrooms. In fact, on my follow up investigative visit to a big Target store and a newer mini neighborhood store near me I found no coed bathrooms. The big store kept its "Women's Room" and "Men's Room" policies, And the mini store pulled off a slick trick in the former Barnes & Noble store it occupied. They reduced the former large restrooms to two one person at a time rooms, saving money on water and other expenses. Talking to a woman while waiting in line, she told me a similar situation existed in the room converted from the older Barnes & Noble women's room she previously had used. So making people wait on line for a restroom is now disguised as virtue signaling "no gender discrimination." Either way, both women and men lose out.
And what about those transgender athletes? Biden's adaption of the weirdest self-destructive feminist policy has destroyed women's sports and women's sports scholarships as middling talented males can easily take the formerly female titles and scholarships away from our daughters. Talk about "Be Careful What You Wish For." I'm reminded of a Dennis Prager saying that some ideas are so stupid only a PhD. would believe them.
If I were a visitor from outer space - and sometimes I feel as if I am - I would look at this situation and say that earthlings in the United States have just banned women from public buildings and women's only sports competitions.
The policies of the Democratic Party appear more and more like a version of The Hunger Games and The Handmaid's Tale, with all their mean spirit rationalizations poorly disguised in their wordings as "freedom" and "liberation."
In the Sixties, some political hippies said that when they went into a store and shoplifted items, they were "liberating them." The store owner, more likely white than today with many more black and Hispanic store owners, is being "liberated" out of their rights and ownership, just like the women and girls who compete in athletics or merely just use a restroom.

Arguing with Idiots Trump Derangement Syndrome Part II
Timothy Birdnow
More on my argument with Susan, the Trump hating Democrat.
See part I here.
Susan says:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/08/19/yes-there-was-collusion/
I agree with the author and as far as taxes go. Trump's taxes are complicated I agree. He's been manipulating the value of his properties for years fraudulently. How do you feel about him not paying any federal income tax? My family paid quite a bit.
I reply:
Susan Longinette, first I just have to yawn at that WaPo article; WaPo has been waging a war against Trump all along and I take what they say with a huge grain of salt, and most especially from Jennifer Rubin, who has always hated Trump.
Second, this is a report based on another newspaper report also from WaPo. THAT report admitted there was no evidence:
"the nearly 1,000-page Senate document does not explicitly accuse the Trump campaign of direct collusion with Russian intelligence" End quote.
So we are once again treated to discussions about dog whistles and the APPEARANCE of impropriety.
And again, there is a huge difference between having contacts with a foreign entity you are going to be dealing with and collusion. Strange how eager you are to believe THIS and think the Russians stole the election from Hillary (who you should be able to admit was a terrible candidate) and yet you deny any skullduggery in this last election because it was your side that stole it.
Uh, Susan; if there was anything that could be proven don't you think the Democrats would have impeached Donald Trump over it? Why did they not include that in their impeachment last year? You know the reason Susan.
I would point out that then Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr was forced to step down for insider trading. Do you think that maybe, just maybe, he was under duress? And Susan, you do not seem able to grasp the fact that the Republicans wanted Trump out almost as badly as did the Democrats. Certainly Mark Warner, another member of the Senate Intel Committee, hated Trump. They hated him because he showed them up and took over "their" party. This is not just a partisan thing.
Also the Senate Intel Committee largely exhonerated Trump. See here https://thefederalist.com/2020/04/21/senate-intel-committee-still-running-interference-for-russia-collusion-nonsense/ here https://dailycaller.com/2018/07/03/senate-intelligence-russian-active-measures/ and here https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/aug/18/senate-intelligence-cmte-no-collusion-trump-russia/ In all of these it is clear that Trump was not involved in any wrongdoing.
But it also showed how the FBI tried to frame Trump with the Steele Dossier among other things. You conventiently ignore that. The report was quite critical of that fact.
It was a nice try but in the end it failed. There was nothing illegal done by Trump here.
Now, why are you not concerned with Joe Biden's foreign entanglements? You are not concerned that Biden's son was being paid by the Ukrainians, and that he was kicking money back to his father. https://nypost.com/2020/10/24/biden-corruption-claims-all-but-confirmed-with-hunter-emails/ You aren't concerned about Biden's many contacts with China. https://thefederalist.com/2020/10/22/hunter-biden-associate-confirms-joe-biden-stood-to-rake-in-millions-from-chinese-business-leaders/ and https://nypost.com/2020/10/22/hunter-biz-partner-confirms-e-mail-details-joe-bidens-push-to-make-millions-from-china/
If you think Trump should be held to strict accountability over Russia why are you so forgiving of China Joe? https://townhall.com/columnists/robertchernin/2020/10/31/the-chinese-connection-from-the-clintons-to-biden-inc-n2578961 BTW China launched a series of cyber attacks on the U.S. just prior to the last election. https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/i6tquh/china_targeting_us_election_infrastructure_with/?utm_source=BD&utm_medium=Search&utm_name=Bing&utm_content=PSR3
The Biden Center received some 22 million from the Chinese Communists, BTW.
And why do you think Russia could markedly influence the 2016 election but that it was impossible for Americans to manipulate the '20 election?
BTW Susan you don't know anything about Trump's taxes and you should not pretend to. There was one leak CLAIMING Trump didn't pay his taxes. But actually what it claimed was likely what Trump paid to have his taxes DONE by an accountant in all probability. And leaking tax information without authorization is a crime, by the way. Trump paid millions in taxes https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2020/10/01/carney-new-york-times-is-wrong-trump-paid-millions-taxes-2017/ and provided a lot of jobs for a lot of people in the process. Or are you against jobs?
Also, any businessman is supposed to minimize his tax burden. We have usurious tax rates in this country and if a businessman did not do so he would be out of business. I have no problem with Mr. Trump minimizing his tax burden; I do the same and I know full well you do too Susan. That Trump admits that fact is one of his more endearing qualities. Just because you hate him and resent wealth doesn't excuse it.
More on my argument with Susan, the Trump hating Democrat.
See part I here.
Susan says:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/08/19/yes-there-was-collusion/
I agree with the author and as far as taxes go. Trump's taxes are complicated I agree. He's been manipulating the value of his properties for years fraudulently. How do you feel about him not paying any federal income tax? My family paid quite a bit.
I reply:
Susan Longinette, first I just have to yawn at that WaPo article; WaPo has been waging a war against Trump all along and I take what they say with a huge grain of salt, and most especially from Jennifer Rubin, who has always hated Trump.
Second, this is a report based on another newspaper report also from WaPo. THAT report admitted there was no evidence:
"the nearly 1,000-page Senate document does not explicitly accuse the Trump campaign of direct collusion with Russian intelligence" End quote.
So we are once again treated to discussions about dog whistles and the APPEARANCE of impropriety.
And again, there is a huge difference between having contacts with a foreign entity you are going to be dealing with and collusion. Strange how eager you are to believe THIS and think the Russians stole the election from Hillary (who you should be able to admit was a terrible candidate) and yet you deny any skullduggery in this last election because it was your side that stole it.
Uh, Susan; if there was anything that could be proven don't you think the Democrats would have impeached Donald Trump over it? Why did they not include that in their impeachment last year? You know the reason Susan.
I would point out that then Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr was forced to step down for insider trading. Do you think that maybe, just maybe, he was under duress? And Susan, you do not seem able to grasp the fact that the Republicans wanted Trump out almost as badly as did the Democrats. Certainly Mark Warner, another member of the Senate Intel Committee, hated Trump. They hated him because he showed them up and took over "their" party. This is not just a partisan thing.
Also the Senate Intel Committee largely exhonerated Trump. See here https://thefederalist.com/2020/04/21/senate-intel-committee-still-running-interference-for-russia-collusion-nonsense/ here https://dailycaller.com/2018/07/03/senate-intelligence-russian-active-measures/ and here https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/aug/18/senate-intelligence-cmte-no-collusion-trump-russia/ In all of these it is clear that Trump was not involved in any wrongdoing.

No Scientific Proof of Transgenderism
Timothy Birdnow
I had an argument with a lame-brain the other day. The man presented a study purporting to show how trannie brains are similar to women's. He demanded I provide studies to rebut. I did not do so, primarily because it simply validated his insanity. But the fact is, a 2015 survey http://www.ustranssurvey.org/ found 11% of male to female sex changees actually tried to transition back to their original sex, and a far larger number had bitter regrets. How can that be if these people are "born that way", are "women trapped in men's bodies"? How do you regret enabling your true sex to come through? And why are so many sex changes male to female rather than female to male? And how many transgendered are lesbians? All of this suggests that there is not a "natural" transgendered so much as a psychological disorder. And brain differences don't tell us much (bear in mind neuroplasticity means you can change your brain by your behavior so it is not hardwired https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/hormones-and-the-brain/201608/gender-identity-is-in-the-brain-what-does-tell-us From this Psychology Today article: "So what has been found? A considerable number of gender differences in the brain have been described. Reassuringly, many of them lie in those parts of the brain that we know are concerned with sexuality (though also with other functions). For example, an area of the hypothalamus, part of the brain well known to be concerned with sexuality (but also with eating, drinking, aggression and other means of survival) is larger in males than females, and smaller in male-to-female transgender brains. What does this tell us? In fact, not very much, though it’s intriguing. First, because the same finding has been reported in gay men compared to straight ones (so is it concerned with sexual preference?) and secondly, the size of a brain area tells us very little about what it does. Why should a larger INAH3 (the relevant area of the hypothalamus) alter any aspect of sexuality? The brain is not a muscle: What matters is the way it functions (that is, its connections and electrochemical activity), not its size. There have been reports of chemical differences in male and female brains, but no one knows what these mean, or how (or whether) they relate to particular gender differences in brain function (and these are disputed). Scanning the brain has not helped much either. There are different types of brain scan; the simplest tells us the size of different areas. As we’ve seen, not very useful. Alterations in the brain’s blood flow in response to certain stimuli have been reported, but these often confirm what we already know – for example, that gay men respond differently to pictures of other men than do straight ones. Connections between brain areas may differ between the sexes, but we don’t know how to interpret them in a very meaningful way" end excerpt. So we see a few marginal differences but can't say for sure and don't know what they mean. Other research agrees. https://theconversation.com/brain-scientists-havent-been-able-to-find-major-differences-between-womens-and-mens-brains-despite-over-a-century-of-searching-143516 I would also like to point out that the Left has been arguing for a couple of generations now that women are the same as men, and there is really no differnce, yet now we are told there are differences in male and female brains and this is used to justify mutilating boys. If this is so then why do we keep treating boys and girls alike? Why is it not o.k. for boys to run around, play war, or cowboys and Indians and girls to sit quietly and play with dolls? Why are we treated to all these fight scenes in movies with 100 pound women beating up 260 pound men? Is there a difference or not?
In fact, transgenderism is no different than a man saying he's Napoleon; we would lock such an individual up so he does not hurt himself, but we perform permanent surgery on a child who says something even more ridiculous.We let him mutilate himself, and even encourage it. There are other examples of this kind of mental disorder; infantilism, where a grown man says he's a baby, Body Integrity Dysphoria where you think you shouldn't have body parts like legs, etc. It's a mental illness. But we are treating it as perfectly normal.
Science Fiction writer Phillip K. Dick defined reality as that thing which, when you stop believing in it, won't go away. A boy may want to be a girl, but he's still a boy and deep down he knows it. That's why so many wind up regretting their choice to get their wedding tackle clipped. They were born with a Y chromosome, which makes them male, not to mention male genitalia.
This dope also tried to argue that having an extra chromosone (as in Down's Syndrome) somehow invalidates this argument. No; it just means you have a man with an extra chromosome disrupting his physical development. Or is a girl with Fragile X somehow not a girl since one of her x chromosomes is mutated with repetitions in the gene sequences?
Whether looked at from a scientific, sociological, religious, cultural, or epistemiological perspective there is no such thing as "fluid" genders or transgenderism. They call sex a "social construct" but in fact that is what transgenderism is; an artificial thing, a form of play acting. In other words, it's a denial of reality, which is by definition a form of mental disease.
But then most of liberalism is precisely that.

State of Emergency Highlights Crisis of Management
James Doogue
Western Australia had one case of Covid-19 infection of a security guard from a Covid-19 Quarantine Hotel. We had gone many months without a single case of community Covid-19 infection.
That apparently justified declaring a State of Emergency and all the powers which come with that; including the suspension of basic individual freedoms.
We were told the lock-down would be for 5 days.
Since then every close contact has been tested. Plus about 50,000 people who think they may have been in the same place as the security guard on the same days leading up to his positive test.
There have been no new cases discovered.
We've been told the lock-down has been lifted.
But the State of Emergency hasn't been lifted, nor have many of the lockdown rules.
I still can't leave the Perth and Peel districts.
I still must wear a mask in almost all scenarios.
Most businesses can re-open, but with the social distancing and mask rules in place.
The person giving the health advice the Premier claims to be guided by, has still not been exposed to any public scrutiny of his advice.
Yes, I accept we are lucky to live in Western Australia compared to many places in the world. But that's no thanks to our state premier.
His government let cruise and merchant ships into the state with Covid-19 passengers on board.
His government ran a hotel quarantine system which didn't require security guards to wear PPE; and they could work as ride-share drivers risking maximum spread if the virus had escaped.
We are living in a state ruled by reactive decree rather than competent management.
The economic cost to the state of this mismanagement is in the tens of billions of dollars. The costs to the lives and livelihoods of Western Australians is much greater.
Mark McGowan had options. It was never an all or nothing game. McGowan had the successful New South Wales hot-spot short term lockdown option. Though even that was unnecessary given the source of the one infection was known.
McGowan's most logical option should have simply been to gear up for lockdown in case it was needed, and watch and wait while carrying out contact tracing and testing.
Had McGowan taken that more appropriate course of action, there would have been no lockdown, and no state of emergency, and none of these carry-over lock-down regulations for a further 8 days.
Magically 'Lock-down Dan in the state of Victoria has suddenly discovered on the eve of The Australian Open tennis tournament, it is possible to have a single case of Covid-19 and not lock-down the state.

The "Right Wing Terrorism" Power Grab
Colin O'Leary observes:
The FBI arrested 184 people last year for suspicious militia activities. The majority were Trump supporters. Now all Trump supporters are considered Domestic Terrorist. That even carries over to being white and objecting to whatever the Democrats are doing. I would not call 184 people out of 334 million people a terrorist threat. I am white and I have been a biker, boxer, drunk, pro baseball player (minor leagues), hunter, been in a gun fight, hung out in gangs and been arrested. No where in all that time have I ever encountered a White supremacist. Not a single one and I have been from one end of this country to the other. This is a Nazi tactic to enslave and castigate those people who don’t believe as they do. Don’t let it happen America. Rise up and fight back.
Tim adds:
They've been working on this for a long time. Back in 2009 Missouri told state troopers to be on the lookout for "domestic terrorists" such as returning military or pro-life people. https://

The Left Hand
Richard Cronin
It is known throughout all of Nature that there is a left hand bias, with greater power than the right — but it is hidden. You can apply this logic everywhere, even to human affairs and politics.
An example would be with the dominant left hand twist in complex biochemicals. The molecular make-up is the same but, viewed from above, most biochemicals corkscrew to the left. This is called chirality. Your DNA possesses a right hand chiral outer polysaccharide double helix but hidden within are the all-important left hand chiral genes. Thus going thru the autocatalytic glycosis process, the DNA molecule unzips to expose the genes for perfect replication. The outer polysaccharide double helix acts as a protective cover. There are many useful books on chirality, beyond just biochemistry.
Ewald Hejl describes how the earliest biochemicals and earliest life formed along fission tracks, the left-hand grooves cut in metamorphic rock due to the left-hand scatter of the daughter particles from natural fission.
Most people are right-handed but the right hand is controlled by the left hemisphere of your brain. Again, the left hand member in the coupling is more powerful, more important but it is hidden.
There is a left hand bias for counterclockwis
As to human and political affairs, there is also a left hand bias. We want to care for our fellow man. We want a good comfortable life for everyone. The political left always begins with such ideals. It is very powerful. Unfortunately, giving into such ideals leads to dependency, the most destructive force in human affairs. Parents overindulge their children and they grow up to be grifters. The same is obviously true with the drift to Socialism.
We must resist the powerful urge to care for everyone’s comfort. Otherwise we fall into a black hole. But it won’t end there. The black hole will regurgitate it back out in searing pulses of matter and energy.
Fred Hoyle was correct. There was no Big Bang. Hoyle argued that the Universe is infinite and always was infinite. Now, given these observations of galactic pulses (Gamma Ray Bursts or GRBs), it is fair to say that the Universe always was infinite and continues to expand at an accelerating rate.
The age of the Universe is under continuing scrutiny. Recently identified is the Methuselah Star, which appears to be older than the previously thought to be the age of the Universe. Obviously, Gamma Ray Bursts move away from us at speeds which we cannot observe.
This solves the conundrum created by Stephen Hawking. A central law of Quantum Mechanics is that "Information, once created, cannot be destroyed.†You cannot modify history. You cannot nullify history, even down to the most extreme subatomic particles. They all have a history associated with them. We just continue creating new history.
It’s much as you truly cannot forget anything. It’s all filed away in the right hemisphere of your brain and spills out in your dreams albeit in a jumbled form. The right hemisphere of your brain is the creative side. Dreamland.
It’s also fair to say that God never forgets and He certainly has not forgotten you.

Arguing with Idiots Trump Derangement Syndrome Edition
Timothy Birdnow
Having a Facebook argument with someone from my grammar schoold ays - a labor Democrat who hates Trump.
Susan said:
Timothy Birdnow lol @ russian "hoax"
I replied:
LOL at hoax denial Susan Longinette. The whole thing came from Hillary Clinton's campaign, which hired Christopher Steele and Fusion GPS to create dirt on Trump. https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/10/hillary-clinton-orchestrated-russia-collusion-farce/ John Brennan briefed Barack Obama on this scheme, based on his own handwritten notes, I might add, so Obama was on board with this. See https://news.yahoo.com/dni-releases-cia-documents-hillary-204337457.html and https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/russia-hoax-lie-hillary-clinton-gregg-jarrett There was no evidence and the Mueller Report - despite being full of Democrat operatives - couldn't make any case. It was entirely a hit to drive Trump first from the campaign then from office. Anyone who looks at this honestly has to admit this was a coup.
That Susan is why so many of us believe this last election was stolen; there was a titanic effort to drive Trump from office. There was blackmail and threats against electors before the EC met in2016, and there was a boycott of his inaugural. There were articles of impeachment against Trump as early as spring of 2017. He was endlessly investigated. He received 92% negative coverage from the media. https://dailycaller.com/2018/10/09/trump-tv-coverage-negative-summer/ He was impeached for something he "dog whistled" while Joe Biden actually bragged about doing (withholding funds from Ukraine). But then we are supposed to believe this last election was pure as the wind driven snow, despite the many odd things involving it (illegal changes in election laws in states by judges and Governors, refusing to match signatures on mail-in ballots, moving ballots around and losing chain of custody, shutting down vote counting when Trump was pulling ahead and then miraculously finding 100% of all subsequent votes were for Biden, the failure of all bellweathers to accurately predict the election, the failure of the President to have coattails either way, etc.)
So now Susan we can't even get justice when a man caught red-handed forging evidence against Trump is sentenced. Is it any wonder so many people won't accept Joe Biden as legitimate?
Susan says:
I'm saying that so don hr and jared meeting with the Russians was Hillary 's fault? Hmm really?
He was investigated because he appeared to be committing or having committed crimes. As an example I don't know that had he released his tax records as promised that they would have been scrutinized nearly as they are but he fought tooth and nail against releasing them. That isn't why he was impeached Timmy. He was impeached for the quid pro quo which he clearly was guilty of but the Republican controlled senate under m.m. was able to hold off the guilty verdict. He manipulated every aspect of his impeachment. Witnesses were not allowed to testify etc. The level of power he was able establish over his fellow Republicans is truly fightening. Poer through fear and intimidation and threats. Questioning him in anyway put a fellow Republican at risk it seemed. The issue with the election occurred because trump manipulated the election process across the board. With u.s. postal service for one and that's elections have been in parts of the country forever astonishingly signatures etc. It wasnt changed. Trump wanted it changed because he knew he would lose if it didnt. Where was there a lid of custody. What's that about shutting down vote counting? C'mon.
I don't understand how you don't see in general he was not good for America and Americans.
I retort:
Susan Longinette you say "I'm saying that so don hr and jared meeting with the Russians was Hillary 's fault?" First, Trump is a free citizen and a businessman who does international business. What, he's not allowed to meet with people from overseas? Second, Hillary's campaign hired Fusion GPS who hired british spy Christopher Steele to invent this crap. Or doesn't that matter to you? It was a political hit from the beginning.
You say "He was impeached for the quid pro quo which he clearly was guilty of but the Republican controlled senate under m.m. was able to hold off the guilty verdict." Uh, your proof Susan? Where did he say he was withholding money from the Ukrainians? Joe Biden actually DID say it to the Ukrainians, and bragged about having forced them to fire the prosecutor looking into his son's business dealings. Nothing happened to your boy Joe but the Democrats impeached Trump. It was purely political and you know it. Oh, wait...it was a DOG WHISTLE again! Why do you Democrats always hear dog whistles?
Susan, that impeachment was a farce. Trump's defense was not allowed to question witnesses, for example, during the House hearings. It was purely political and YOU KNOW IT. Why do you suppose they waited so long to impeach Trump? A bill of impeachment was introduced by Democrats in early 2017 but Pelosi killed it repeatedly. Why? She knew there was no case. She resisted bringing that case up because she knew she had nothing, but her frothing at the mouth caucus insisted, and she wanted it to at least tarnish Trump for the election. Otherwise she would have allowed it to come much earlier. She knew there was no there there.
Susan, Trump did not manipulate the Post Office. You clearly don't understand how the USPS works; it is a private corporation owned by the U.S. government, but it IS private. It draws no funds from the treasury, but is financed by sales of stamps. Trump did not in any way tamper with it; he can't. He has no authority. He does not appoint
Trump had the media against him almost entirely. He had the Democrats against him. He had the GOP Establishment against him. He had all the big tech companies against him (worth probably over a billion dollars in campaign donations to Biden.) So how did he manipulate the electoral process? From what I can see it was the Democrats who manipulated the electoral process - from changing electoral laws (like altering dates for the receipt of absentee ballots without state congressional approval) and imposing mail-in voting ( something quite different than absentee voting), something the Carter-Baker Commission warned would be catastrophic as it was ripe for vote fraud. They sent out ballots to addresses without being requested, for example. That means a lot of ballots were floating around just waiting to be filled out.
If Trump had this great power over the election - and without a real organization or network - than why did he lose at all? He should have had no trouble.
Susan, why did the Democrats sue to stop matching signatures between voter registration and mail-in ballots? https://www.politico.com/news/2020/10/23/pennsylvania-court-ballot-signatures-431794There is only one reason and you know what that is. That was clearly about defrauding the electoral system. I think you know this.
Yes, there was loss of chain of custody in multiple places. See https://georgiastarnews.com/2020/12/25/nearly-two-thirds-of-georgia-counties-fail-to-produce-chain-of-custody-documents-for-460000-absentee-ballots-after-the-november-3-general-election/ and https://tennesseestar.com/2021/01/04/cnn-fumbles-georgia-ballot-chain-of-custody-fact-check/ here and https://georgiastarnews.com/2020/12/05/dekalb-county-cannot-find-chain-of-custody-records-for-absentee-ballots-deposited-in-drop-boxes-it-has-not-been-determined-if-responsive-records-to-your-request-exist/ here for a few examples about this in Georgia. Here is an example of chain of custody being broken in Pennsylvania. https://thepostmillennial.com/pennsylvania-state-hearing-on-election-fraud-alleges-missing-and-uncounted-votes/ also https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2020/11/25/285354-n285354 Also Arizona https://prescottenews.com/index.php/2020/12/27/election-integrity-group-releases-1400-page-super-appendix-demonstrating-extensive-lawlessness-in-swing-states-during-the-2020-general-election/
BTW There was an Arizona firm with close ties to the Democrats who sent fraudulent ballots to the Georgia runoff and it is still under investigation. https://thespectator.info/2021/01/02/arizona-firm-that-allegedly-sent-fake-ballots-to-georgia-runbeck-election-services-is-closely-tied-to-democrat-party/
Mark Zuckerberg spent millions on a project to give local election boards new equipment in this election. Why do you suppose that is?
And yes vote counting was shut down in multiple battleground states in key districts at the same time on election night. https://www.bizpacreview.com/2020/11/04/americans-suspicious-and-outraged-after-key-dem-run-cities-stop-counting-votes-on-election-day-992614/ and https://www.news.com.au/world/north-america/us-politics/us-election-what-happened-in-key-battleground-states-on-election-night/news-story/2037f4baa76cab7e378fdd468ffe22f1
This election was handled in a profoundly different way than any in the past. Judges overturned election laws. So did Democratic governors. Any reasonable person who actually looks at this knows something very fishy happened on election night. And do you really think that after spending four years trying to remove this President - the legally elected POTUS - that the enemies of Donald Trump would NOT try to steal this election?
C'mon Susan!
You could have done this research as easily as I. You are purposely burying your head in the sand.
And yes he WAS good for America and Americans. On his watch we saw the destruction of ISIS, and at the same time Trump was the first President in half a century to not get us into a foreign war. Under his watch we saw an end to nuclear testing by North Korea. Under his watch we saw NATO and the Europeans pay more of their share for their own defense. Under his watch we saw several Arab countries make peace with Israel. We saw a big decline in the number of "refugees" coming from Muslim countries into both Europe and the U.S. We saw a rebalancing of trade with the elimination of NAFTA (something union people claimed to have wanted until Trump did it). We saw the opening of federal land to hydraulic fracturing and the subsequent decline in prices of oil and natural gas, and America becoming the leading exporter of oil in the world as a result. Did you like four dollar a gallon gas that we saw during the Obama era? Gas was under two bucks in most places in the U.S. on Trump's watch.
We saw record employment for African Americans and Hispanics, and full employment for everyone else. Had it not been for the shutting down of the Ameriican economy due to the pandemic Trump would have sailed to an easy victory in the election.
We saw industries being revived and manufacturing plants moving back to the U.S.
We saw a steep dropoff in illegal immigration to America and a much tighter southern border. Or do you like people just strolling in here to steal our jobs and social services and perhaps plot terrorist attacks against us?
Speaking of terrorist attacks, there were few agaomst is during the Trump years.
Trump ended the anti-American Paris Accords. He ended the ridiculously foolish Iran deal (which allowed Iran to ultimately obtain a nuclear weapon.) He ended the onerous individual mandate for Obamacare (which he had to do since the Republicans would not replace that horrible legislation.) My brother Brian was being killed by the fine he had to pay for noth having insurance - a grossly unconstitutional thing, I might add. He was delighted to be liberated from that money grab, but now under Biden he'll be forced into doing it again.
We all saw our taxes go down under Trump. That includes both personal and corporate (which is important because it means more businesses will base in the U.S.)
I could go on and on.
And Trump showed just how horribly corrupt Washington really is, and how there are two sets of laws, one for them and another for the faceless rabble that is the rest of America.
But, but, but Trump caused DIVISION we are told. Whose fault was that? Trump didn't cause division, his enemies did because they would not accept his Presidency.
And despite all the Democrat-sanctioned riots and looting that occured, Trump never sent in military force to quell them because he believed in Federalism and waited to be asked by the Democrat state governors. Trump tried to address the alleged underlying issues - like criminal justice reform. BTW Joe Biden was one of the driving forces behind the three strikes you are out and forfeiture laws that were at the core of black complaints about being mistreated by the police. HE was the architect. Not Trump, who reformed it.
Susan, do you really want an America where international institutions can reach into the pockets of taxpayers, where men can put on women's clothes and go into women's restrooms, where government can oppress Christian churches for not embracing homosexuality or other things they consider morally objectionable? That is what YOUR GUY is pushing. Do you want eight buck a gallon gas as they have in France? Do you want America to be swallowed up by immigrants who do not know what America is supposed to be and intend to maintain the culture they jsut left? Do you think it is good to keep Balkanizing America into warring groups and factions? Do you want suppression of free speech as we are seeing happen now? Do you want guilt until proven innocent as we saw during the Obama era on college campuses?
America is looking more and more like the Soviet Union we fought against, and Trump stemmed that tide for a time. Biden will only accelerate it. Socialism, my dear, is a terrible, failed ideology condemned by the Catholic Church, for one. But it's at the heart of the modern Democratic Party, which is no longer even remotely the Party you grew up with.
The worst you can say about Trump is he is a jackass. Well, I didn't hire him for his personality. He was an executive officer. Frankly, had he not been so hated by so many I would have been concerned, as it would have meant he was being ineffectual. The hatred of Trump stemmed in no small part from his effectiveness. We needed a reformer. The more a reformer is needed the more such a person will be hated. Trump was truly hated.
I didn't like the man myself, and I didn't support him in the priamry, but the way the Washington Establishment turned purple over him made it clear he was on the right track.
I think that if you could move past your prejudice to Republicans (something which Mr. Trump was not) and actually look at this objectively you would see how very wrong you are.

Susan said:
Timothy Birdnow lol @ russian "hoax"
I replied:
LOL at hoax denial Susan Longinette. The whole thing came from Hillary Clinton's campaign, which hired Christopher Steele and Fusion GPS to create dirt on Trump. https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/10/hillary-clinton-orchestrated-russia-collusion-farce/ John Brennan briefed Barack Obama on this scheme, based on his own handwritten notes, I might add, so Obama was on board with this. See https://news.yahoo.com/dni-releases-cia-documents-hillary-204337457.html and https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/russia-hoax-lie-hillary-clinton-gregg-jarrett There was no evidence and the Mueller Report - despite being full of Democrat operatives - couldn't make any case. It was entirely a hit to drive Trump first from the campaign then from office. Anyone who looks at this honestly has to admit this was a coup.
That Susan is why so many of us believe this last election was stolen; there was a titanic effort to drive Trump from office. There was blackmail and threats against electors before the EC met in2016, and there was a boycott of his inaugural. There were articles of impeachment against Trump as early as spring of 2017. He was endlessly investigated. He received 92% negative coverage from the media. https://dailycaller.com/2018/10/09/trump-tv-coverage-negative-summer/ He was impeached for something he "dog whistled" while Joe Biden actually bragged about doing (withholding funds from Ukraine). But then we are supposed to believe this last election was pure as the wind driven snow, despite the many odd things involving it (illegal changes in election laws in states by judges and Governors, refusing to match signatures on mail-in ballots, moving ballots around and losing chain of custody, shutting down vote counting when Trump was pulling ahead and then miraculously finding 100% of all subsequent votes were for Biden, the failure of all bellweathers to accurately predict the election, the failure of the President to have coattails either way, etc.)
So now Susan we can't even get justice when a man caught red-handed forging evidence against Trump is sentenced. Is it any wonder so many people won't accept Joe Biden as legitimate?
Susan says:
I'm saying that so don hr and jared meeting with the Russians was Hillary 's fault? Hmm really?
He was investigated because he appeared to be committing or having committed crimes. As an example I don't know that had he released his tax records as promised that they would have been scrutinized nearly as they are but he fought tooth and nail against releasing them. That isn't why he was impeached Timmy. He was impeached for the quid pro quo which he clearly was guilty of but the Republican controlled senate under m.m. was able to hold off the guilty verdict. He manipulated every aspect of his impeachment. Witnesses were not allowed to testify etc. The level of power he was able establish over his fellow Republicans is truly fightening. Poer through fear and intimidation and threats. Questioning him in anyway put a fellow Republican at risk it seemed. The issue with the election occurred because trump manipulated the election process across the board. With u.s. postal service for one and that's elections have been in parts of the country forever astonishingly signatures etc. It wasnt changed. Trump wanted it changed because he knew he would lose if it didnt. Where was there a lid of custody. What's that about shutting down vote counting? C'mon.
I don't understand how you don't see in general he was not good for America and Americans.
I retort:
Susan Longinette you say "I'm saying that so don hr and jared meeting with the Russians was Hillary 's fault?" First, Trump is a free citizen and a businessman who does international business. What, he's not allowed to meet with people from overseas? Second, Hillary's campaign hired Fusion GPS who hired british spy Christopher Steele to invent this crap. Or doesn't that matter to you? It was a political hit from the beginning.
You say "He was impeached for the quid pro quo which he clearly was guilty of but the Republican controlled senate under m.m. was able to hold off the guilty verdict." Uh, your proof Susan? Where did he say he was withholding money from the Ukrainians? Joe Biden actually DID say it to the Ukrainians, and bragged about having forced them to fire the prosecutor looking into his son's business dealings. Nothing happened to your boy Joe but the Democrats impeached Trump. It was purely political and you know it. Oh, wait...it was a DOG WHISTLE again! Why do you Democrats always hear dog whistles?
Susan, that impeachment was a farce. Trump's defense was not allowed to question witnesses, for example, during the House hearings. It was purely political and YOU KNOW IT. Why do you suppose they waited so long to impeach Trump? A bill of impeachment was introduced by Democrats in early 2017 but Pelosi killed it repeatedly. Why? She knew there was no case. She resisted bringing that case up because she knew she had nothing, but her frothing at the mouth caucus insisted, and she wanted it to at least tarnish Trump for the election. Otherwise she would have allowed it to come much earlier. She knew there was no there there.

Denmarks Seeks to End Immigration

Even Denmark is trying to stop the flood of "refugees".
It's too little too late - and the E.U. won't let them.
So why are WE opening the doors now?

Wow. John Private Jet Kerry negotiated the Paris Accord that requires the US to send billions to other countries and allows China to continue to ramp up their use of coal, oil and natural gas. And we at great expense (can you say jobs requiring lots of power to to China where energy and labor or cheaper) must end our use of coal, natural gas and oil. And Private Jet Kerry says that what the U.S. does wont matter anyway. Then why do it?

Chronology of Climate Doomsaying
This from Chester McAteer:
The Agnotology of Scientific Consensus proves the short-sightedne
Few, obviously, look deeper than what they are told, is far easier to assume that because something is labeled Scientific it must be correct, but the recent history of Science proves it must not be above the prudence of skepticism, criticism and brutal scrutiny. The question should arise that if Scientists have been so wrong in the past, why would we be asked to have so much confidence in the predictions of a few today?

The fact is that the mean temperature of the planet is, and should be, always wavering up or down, a bit, because this is a natural world, not a climate-control
The Agnotology of Scientific Consensus proves the short-sightedne
Few, obviously, look deeper than what they are told, is far easier to assume that because something is labeled Scientific it must be correct, but the recent history of Science proves it must not be above the prudence of skepticism, criticism and brutal scrutiny. The question should arise that if Scientists have been so wrong in the past, why would we be asked to have so much confidence in the predictions of a few today?

The National Debt
Selwyn Duke
Once a sense of futility sets in, people just give up. This truth comes to mind when pondering our national debt, now a whopping $27 trillion. For unlike Harry Potter’s Voldemort, it today is hardly even alluded to, never mind named.
Is our $27 Trillion National Debt Now to Scary to Even Discuss

Liberal Colonialists
Timothy Birdnow
The federal government promotes this too. I was in real estate and know a lot of minorities were being settled in very conservative areas to turn them into Democrat districts. We are being gerrymandered by our own government.
Leftists are Colonizing Red Towns like Mine and the Locals are Clueless

Ministry of Truth
This from Lance Sjogren
NYT calls for "Reality Czars". In other words, government Ministry of Truth. The Establishment obviously is relying on 1984 as its how-to manual.

The Cavern
This from Richard Cronin
Tim adds:
Re-read "Plato’s Republic†and his parable of "The Cave†plus his description of the Philosopher-Kin
In a recent interview on Glenn Beck, the guest described how the mavens of Big Tech see themselves as the Philosopher-Kin
The parable of the Cave relates how humanity is shackled to the floor of a cave and can only observe the flickering shadows on the wall, while the obscure passage to the surface reveals real truth, real knowledge. The real world is hidden from us.
What do we have today ? Fake elections, fake currency, fake science, fake news, fake stock markets, fake banking, fake pandemics, fake tits.
The door is just coming ajar with the short-selling of GameStop, Reddit, and silver.
Tim adds:
Plato has done terrible damage to human history with his "philosopher king" idea. It presupposes a truly wise man with no faults and no lusts. There are no such. I would add, though, that The Cave actually is quite accurate in today's climate of gaslighting by the media; the people locked in the cave refused to believe the man who escaped and found reality much different than he had believed. That is modern America, where the media and academia and the school system and entertainment industry try to artificially create a reality we are supposed to believe in and when we say it isn't true they attack us for daring to tell people.
The Left has long claimed reality is malleable and everyone has their
own. They say reality is merely an agreed upon convention, and that
this convention can be changed if enough people believe differently.
This is at odds with the Judeo-Christian
Our modern masters don't believe that. To them reality is what they deem it. As Orwell noted in 1984 2 plus 2 equals five if the Party says so.
