24th Nov Review of Historical and Current Affairs

My name is David Daniel Ball and I am Voice DDB dot locals dot com a voice of freedom supporting freedom around the world for all peoples. I write on historical and current affairs. I look for the conservative voice where mainstream media eschews it. Around the world media espouses liberalism orthodoxy and proclaims a history of liberalism that never happened. Liberalism of today is based on repeated lies that have been accepted from the past.


Consider these recent truths

Kyle Rittenhouse has been found not guilty by a jury. 


Following the verdict, mainstream press doubled down on lies which resulted in further riots.


It is unclear if defamation of Rittenhouse will ever be addressed


It is unclear if prosecutorial misconduct will ever be addressed


Words have power, but they should have meaning too. 


Viva Frie summarised the denunciations of Rittenhouse as Kyle being a White Supremacist active shooter who had shot black men at a BLM protest. It might also be worth adding the meme that Rittenhouse was driven by his mum across state lines to do it. It was illegal for Rittenhouse to own the gun he used. 


Following the media, one might not know the following truths


Rittenhouse is mixed race and the people he shot were all white with lengthy criminal records. 


Rittenhouse’ family are located in Kenosha and he grew up there. His mother’s home, ‘across the state border’ was a mile away, and closer than where one of Rittenhouse’s so called victims who lived in Kenosha was in relation to the riots that night. 


The so called BLM protest was a riot where police had withdrawn protection and businesses were stripped and torched. One such business owner, noting Rittenhouse was present, giving first aid to people, as he had wanted to become a nurse or policeman, and that was a practical application, had asked him and some friends to be on hand to protect their business. 


The sole survivor of the three Rittenhouse shot was illegally armed, while Rittenhouse was entitled to the rifle he carried. Many people at the riot carried rifles. 


Rittenhouse ran to rioters calling “friendly, friendly” so as to administer first aid during the meeting. 


Rittenhouse did not point his gun as to threaten. One person claimed he had, and the prosecutor seized on Rittenhouse’s answer which did not affirm that. Witnesses admitted Rittenhouse had maintained the gun pointed down. 


When Rittenhouse was confronted by rioters he ran and they chased him. When Rittenhouse fell, he was attacked by rioters. One kicked Rittenhouse in the face. Rittenhouse did not shoot them. One died after they tried to take Rittenhouse’ gun. One died after hitting Rittenhouse on the head with a skateboard. The survivor had attempted to run up to Rittenhouse and kill him by emptying his illegal firearm into Rittenhouse. Rittenhouse shot him before he could. At trial, after asking for ten million dollars for testifying, the survivor gave evidence that Rittenhouse only shot him after he charged him and pointed his gun at Rittenhouse. 


The FBI had recorded events using a drone. The prosecution were given better detailed drone vision than the defence. The prosecution had not passed on details of witnesses exculpatory for Rittenhouse. The prosecution made claims about Rittenhouse which were known to be untrue, or irrelevant, which were parroted by media. 


The prosecution had had two theories of what Rittenhouse had done that evening, which contradicted. One theory was that Rittenhouse had gone to kill people with his rifle. Another was that Rittenhouse had defended himself disproportionately. It turns out neither theory was right. 


The media memes of Rittenhouse being crazed and murderous, spread by Biden, trickling down through Democrat agency, through the FBI and DOJ, through irrelevant offices like the NYC mayor, seem to have been fed by the prosecutor. Why else should so many separate news agencies report on the faux ‘crossing state lines’? 


The trial for Rittenhouse is over. But the trial for USA to reclaim justice is not.

Today is a big day for trials. 

In 164 BC, Judas Maccabeus, son of Mattathias of the Hasmonean family, restored the Temple in Jerusalem. This event was commemorated each year by the festival of Hanukkah. In 1877, Thomas Edison announced his invention of the phonograph, a machine that can record and play sound. In 1894, Port Arthur, Manchuriafell to the Japanese, a decisive victory of the First Sino-Japanese War, after which Japanese troops were accused of the massacre of the remaining inhabitants of the city. In 1902, the Philadelphia Football Athletics defeated the Kanaweola Athletic Club of Elmira, New York, 39-0, in the first ever professional American football night game. In 1905, Albert Einstein's paper, "Does the Inertia of a Body Depend Upon Its Energy Content?", is published in the journal Annalen der Physik. This paper reveals the relationship between energy and mass. This leads to the mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc². In 1927, Columbine Mine massacreStriking coal miners were allegedly attacked with machine guns by a detachment of state police dressed in civilian clothes. In 1953, the British Natural History Museum announced that the "Piltdown Manskull, initially believed to be one of the most important fossilised hominid skulls ever found, was a hoax. In 1959, American disc jockey Alan Freed, who had popularised the term "rock and roll" and music of that style, was fired from WABC-AM radio for refusing to deny allegations that he had participated in the payola scandal. In 1985, United States Navy intelligence analyst Jonathan Pollard was arrested for spying after being caught giving Israel classified information on Arab nations. He was subsequently sentenced to life in prison.In 2006, anti-Syrian Lebanese Minister and MP Pierre Gemayel was assassinated in suburban Beirut.


From 2013

ABC pays 1 percenters to tell their viewers what to think. Now that has been revealed, the boss of the ABC wants an investigation. The ABC boss, who feels it is balanced to drown poor people who are desperate for asylum so long as the ALP appears compassionate, who is also willing to reveal any secret to embarrass the Libs even if it isn't about them, is paid twice as much as the ASIO boss who works impartially to protect all Australians. When you look at the 'talent' supporting the ALP, you can see they need lots of help. Young people should not drink any alcohol. Older people should not drink much alcohol. But what reason can be given for how ALP decides on policy? Chatham house rules doesn't quite cover it. 


Race hate laws aren't working. Kudos to the Jewish council of Australia on their statement regarding the Armenian genocide, but also that council is wrong to support these bad race laws. The laws don't protect Jewish peoples from harm, but do protect terrorists from criticism. The persecution of Bolt was a travesty of justice. 


From 2014  

Greens hypocritical in their support of US warming deal with China. The deal is not secure, as Australia's direct action policy is which Greens oppose. The US and China hope to achieve their ends by employing power substitutes the Greens will not accept in Australia, from fracking and nuclear. 


The federal government (in Australia) had legislation that was in the interests of consumers of superannuation, but opposed by Unions. Unions were given access to management of Superannuation by Paul Keating so as to compensate them for lost membership, as very few workers these days join with unions. However, the unions and banks have developed superannuation products that customers would not choose if they were aware of choice. Unions and banks have provided advisers to consumers who have a duty to their employers, not the consumers. The legislation would have given advisers independence, providing better, informed choice to consumers. Independent senator Xenophon, Motorist Muir and PUP Lambie have backflipped over the deal and scuttled the legislation, meaning vested interests can behave corruptly. They are doing so, so as to use the legislation as bargaining chip to get the government to compromise on more good legislation. The only way to get good government is to vote conservative. 


ABC find someone willing to criticise the Australian federal government over their climate change policy. The Fishing Minister from Belize. No doubt Belize's public service have kept their minister up to date with the latest. Belize has a population of about 342000. Note, the Minister offered no specifics, merely asking Australia to step up on commitment to negotiation. 


Academics suggest making petrol more expensive to keep poor people off the roads. They argue that fewer people on the roads means fewer deaths. Why not simply ban petrol?


WA food police canvass an idea that children found with chocolate or chips at school would have it confiscated until the end of the school day. No discussion is made regarding the refrigeration of said products. Will they at least promise not to leave the milk in the sun? 


The Age presents a piece on Global Warming attacking Mr Abbott without including facts for balance. They verbal-ed former UK PM Thatcher and neglected to mention vested interests. 


Is feminism merely a push for women to work and not have families? 


University of California, Berkely students show that Nazis have been successful in attracting the left to IS and distancing them from Israel.

It is a truth of management that when an employee fails, the management have too. In banks, no one should feel they aren't being watched. Everyone should know if they attempt theft they will be caught. Jonathan Pollard showed the US security administration failed. He had attempted to sell secrets. Nothing like the security breaches of Snowden or Assange, which got people killed around the world for inflaming jihadism. Pollard was mentally weak according to prosecutors, as well as brilliantly duplicitous. They accused him of getting agents killed, until it turned out another CIA agent had done that. But Pollard is Jewish. An abuse of power denied Pollard a legal defence and 30 years have been taken from him. He is released at last. But those responsible for the abuse have power and authority. 


For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.

IPA Review (Nov 2016) features a Matthew Lesh article on “Australian Tax Mutineers” and it includes the 1927 Queensland farmer’s strike. Queensland had only one non ALP Government between 1915 and 1952. With a small, largely self sufficient population, government couldn’t mess up too badly. Only the ALP had managed to spend too much and tried to raise tax to cover their inept administration. The 1926 Queensland Water Act was an instrument. It involved fees for farmers using their own wells or water pumps. If the property wasn’t adjacent to a river, farmers were in a terrible position. It was a disincentive to improve land and produced costs the couldn’t be passed on to consumers. In 1927, farmers organised a tax strike. The legislation was repealed and the government changed for one term at the next election. Worth thinking about for any state or territory thinking of voting ALP when they have control of the upper house too.  


=== From 2017 ===

Don't give up on hope. Democrat Insurance used to cover so much more. Some fifteen sexual assault allegations involve Bill Clinton and yet MSM don't report on it. But now allegations surface regarding groping by Charlie Rose and the journalist is dropped by his network employer. In Australia, former disgraced parliamentarian Craig Thomson gets a free pass from the union he took member funds from, but the whistleblower, Kathy Jackson, is pursued through the courts. The draining of the sewer has begun, but there is a long way to go. News.com.au, under political editor Malcolm Farr, is claiming the US has not won a war since 1945, and feels Trump may do badly with NK. Almost as if the media want Trump to start a war .. and win it. Like Obama would have done if he could, cf Libya, Syria and Ukraine. 


Less than a week until Queensland faces election. ALP have no credible policy. ALP are divided and have members openly discussing aligning with One Nation, prior to election. LNP offer responsible government. One Nation is popular. Newspapers are saying it should be a strong ALP win. Polls are suggesting it will be tighter. Vote LNP if you want effective public transport, healthy industry, affordable power, effective policing. Vote ALP if you like corruption, are xenophobic and hate anyone profiting if they are the wrong gender or race. 

The culture wars go on, lefties advise that the English Breakfast of Bangers, bacon and eggs are 'bad for the environment.' They also say that children are bad for the environment. They are insane. 

Islamic leader Keysar Trad wants polygamy, but does not want SSM. How does that even work? 

Donald Trump promises huge tax cuts for Christmas and is cheered. Turnbull promises tax cuts for Christmas and it is pointed out he is in fact taxing those people more, according to his own detail.  


=== From 2020 ===

We know who voted for Trump. We saw them. Queues of people with hats and signs and cheering Trump in their thousands all over USA. We have not seen people in great numbers who supported Biden. There is no evidence they have ever existed outside of a riot or a hissy fit by a Democrat partisan election official. 


I watch Dan Bongino on Rumble and heard him on his Rumble cast say Trump should have addressed disloyal swamp creatures sooner. I disagree with it, and might have egg all over my face soon for saying so, but following is my reasoning. Trump has temporised on facing some of the swamp, not hesitated. Late last year, Trump said he was pulling troops out of Syria and was criticised for it severely. But then an ISIS leader stood up and special forces ran him to committing suicide rather than be taken. The operation, a sting masterminded by Trump had not included significant figures within his administration, and sparked a resignation of National Security Adviser Bolton, who had not been in the loop. Imagine the resistance if Trump had opposed more? But now, if Trump politically survives this, the swamp is exposed and has no support from conservatives. I'm reminded of former Premier of Victoria Jeff Kennett who had led a successful conservative government and had a crash or crash through election which he lost. Had Kennett won, he had clear air for a long time, but having lost Victoria is where the US will be if Biden is allowed to cheat a win. 


Trump cycle has it Trump is on his knees, before ... Media is cheering expected partisan court decisions to not support inquiry into voting fraud. However, they overstate the meaning of the shortfalls. The Trump campaign to have their electoral win restored was never going to be straightforward. They have the evidence. It points to multiple elections and undermines the credibility of US Democracy. Ultimately, aspects of it will be decided by SCOTUS. We do not yet know how SCOTUS will decide, or even what exact evidence they will face. But we know the evidence is substantial, and in an effort to suppress the will of conservative resistance, media are claiming that the evidence is not substantive and so the evidence is yet to be addressed. Maybe there is a good reason for a CIA asset being deployed to fraudulently control the US election. Let us hear what it is.


It is apparent that Dems committed fraud to steal the 2020 election. They may well have done similar in 2016. In 2016, Fox declared Pennsylvania early to HRC. The demand was made for Trump to concede. Trump won in 2016, but it surprised the establishment that did similar in their voter suppression as they have done in 2020. HRC had organised a victory party, but blessed marching vagina instead. Even her book did not say what happened. Trump has been very good at mobilising ordinary, decent Americans to support him in numbers greater than any GOP ever. Trump does not court race, or gender, like his racist, bigoted opposition have. Yet Trump has extraordinary minority support for a GOP, possibly the highest since Eleanor Roosevelt courted the Black vote as her husband exploited them. The Dem voting pattern and issues echo the Obama wins too. How long have Dems been using these fraudulent methods to obtain votes? Did they use them to bodgy the 2006 mid terms? It is not that the mysterious support of vapour for Dems is so clearly fraudulent, but, other than violent rioters, and #FakeNews, where is their support, really? How come there is no policy platform for Democrats? Why does Big Tech have to censor the truth? How many millions of Trump supporting votes have been given to Biden? The corruption is so apparent, and so pervasive, that if Trump concedes 2020, he will be conceding all elections that follow, and the flame of liberty will be extinguished in America. 


We have hope. It is incumbent on us to win back the freedom denied us. And to protect that freedom. We will do that democratically. We will take back our legislature. We will get our courts to return to protecting our constitution.

I have lost everything several times. And yet here I am. Behind me is an Australian flag and a MAGA cap. On my MAGA cap is an American flag. I will die, one day. But, I pledge allegiance to the flag (of Australia and) the United States of America. And to the republics for which they stand. One nation. Indivisible. Under God. With liberty, and justice, for all.

We are being lied to. But not by everyone. Our nations and their justice machinery are not broken, but damaged. Things are bad, but they are supposed to be bad, rather than merely breaking. We can't give up. We must reject the liars, and remove them from public office, and prosecute them lawfully. Things can get better, but we must persevere or risk losing hope. We must not fight the Devil by playing the Devil's game. Rather we must resist the Devil by being free. There is no law against doing what is right. Their utter depravity kills us. They target us and they seek to restrain us. But while the greatest among us a hundred years ago has died, their legacy has not. That which we are, we are. Lockdowns were ineffective in dealing with COVID. Effective medication has been denied whole populations. Herd immunity will prevail. Fraud deleteriously affected recent elections around the world. But, Democracy will prevail. Our oppressors will pass. For us to win, we must assert our freedoms. For us to lose, we must willingly surrender our freedoms forever. Our children will have to pay back our debt. We must sacrifice now so that they can. That means telling truth to power. That means pointing up when when some get confused and lose their way. Stand by the one who sacrificed their pension and freedoms to speak out. Prosecute the ones forgiven by a debauched and self interested administration. Vote for those who help you exercise your freedom. Don't wait for free speech. Exercise free speech.

Intro to Locals.com

My name is David Daniel Ball I'm a teacher with three decades experience teaching math to high school kids.I also work with first graders and kids in between first grade and high school. I know the legends of why Hypatia's dad is remembered through his contribution to Math theory. And I know the legend of why followers of Godel had thought he had disproved God's existence. 

I'm not a preacher, but I am a Christian who has written over 28 books all of which include some reference to my faith. Twelve blog books on world history and current affairs, detailing world events , births and marriages on each day of the year, organised by month. Twelve books on the background to and history of Bible Quotes. One Bible quote per day for a year. An intro to a science fiction series I'm planning, post apocalyptic cyber punk. An autobiography with short story collections. 

I'm known in Australia for my failure as a whistleblower over the negligence death of a school boy. I had reported the issue responsibly and had not known I'd blown the whistle. The embarrassed left wing government had responded by imposition of a nationwide ban on the use of peanut butter in canteens, despite failing to address the issue of peanut allergy appropriately. 

I've been de-platformed on Facebook and twitter despite not being an activist. Twitter did not like me asking for Obama to face justice in 2011. FB gave no specific reason for removing me following Jan 6th 2021 in Washington DC where a policeman killed an unarmed woman, so a crowd would know he was in control.

Why is Irish America so anti-British?
by Dan Hannan, Contributor
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/why-is-irish-america-so-anti-british

It was a brief but revealing moment. As the results came in, a television correspondent asked a jubilant Joe Biden whether he had anything to say to the BBC. “I’m Irish,” replied the elderly Scrantonian, with the air of a man delivering a clever punchline.

What, though, was the joke? It rests on the audience assuming that there is some elemental, eternal hostility between Britain and Ireland. Sure, it was lighthearted, and I don’t think that Biden is actually anti-British. Indeed, during the Falklands War, it was he, already a senator 38 years ago, who moved the resolution telling Argentina to withdraw. The United States, he argued, must make clear “that we are on the British side."

But his remark wouldn’t work on the other side of the Atlantic, where decades of improving relations culminated in 2011 when large crowds cheered the queen as she visited Dublin and Cork.

Why are Irish Americans so much readier to define themselves in essentially anti-British terms? During the 1980s, for example, when Irish American congressmen, including Biden, mobilized against the extradition of terrorist suspects, there were more republican gunmen in Irish than in British jails.

Dan Hannan does not take this article far enough. While the initial response of UK to the potato famine was effective, it got messed up. The reason being that in addressing the issue, Sir Robert Peel moved to address the Corn Laws. He had spent a quarter of UK's budget sending aid and allowing Ireland to stand back up. But, with the Corn Laws (trade barriers to grain imports), Peel's conservatives were split and the Whig party led by Russel took government and began dismantling Ireland, getting their landholders who had been hit by failure of renters to pay rent, to pay for the aid. Poor Irish could flee to UK, but Rich ones, who owed the UK treasury, went to USA with an enormous chip on their shoulders. Which is why, today, Irish descent peoples in the US are likely to be IRA supporting bigots.

Israel PM Netanyahu Reportedly Meets Saudi Prince in Historic Meeting
by Elizabeth Vaughn

The Jerusalem Post reported that Netanyahu left Israel on a civilian plane at 7 pm on Sunday and returned just after midnight.

Netanyahu and Cohen were met by Pompeo at the Neom airport and the three attended the meeting. According to the Post, they “reportedly discussed efforts to counter threats from Iran.”

This meeting comes after Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, and Sudan, have each normalized ties with Israel. A similar peace deal with Saudi Arabia is a bit more complicated, but not out of reach. Though an agreement between Israel and Saudi Arabia would certainly benefit both nations, the challenge lies in the fact that “King Salmon supports the Palestinians in their efforts to secure an independent state.”

According to Fox News, “analysts and insiders suggest his 35-year-old son, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, likely is more open to the idea of normalizing relations without major progress in the moribund peace process.”

Covid’s privileged oppressors are sanctimonious, self- righteous, self -serving people of every race, colour creed and sexual orientation; most often found in mainstream media, politics, Hollywood, and some in the general public. They rant and rave and lecture us about masks and social distancing and hand washing, scream about the number of new Covid cases and Covid deaths (would that be deaths from Covid or deaths with Covid?) and then yell at the rest of us for not following the rules (as if they do), while threatening lockdowns and then locking down. (More at link)

I am sitting in my dingy little office, where a stingy
Ray of sunlight struggles feebly down between the houses tall,
And the foetid air and gritty of the dusty, dirty city
Through the open window floating, spreads its foulness over all
And in place of lowing cattle, I can hear the fiendish rattle
Of the tramways and the ‘buses making hurry down the street,
And the language uninviting of the gutter children fighting,
Comes fitfully and faintly through the ceaseless tramp of feet.
And the hurrying people daunt me, and their pallid faces haunt me
As they shoulder one another in their rush and nervous haste,
With their eager eyes and greedy, and their stunted forms and weedy,
For townsfolk have no time to grow, they have no time to waste.

Don't give up on hope. Tony Abbott's father passed away age 93. It is ok to die old and blessed. Richard Henry Abbott was born in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1924. At age 16, he came to Australia with his parents. In 1942, he was called up. He returned to the UK in 1954, and met and married a Sydney girl, Fay Peters, a dietitian. Richard was a successful orthodontist. The family came to Australia in 1960, spent some time in Bronte before settling in Chatswood. He retired in 2002. One judge of the man's character is that of his children. They are good people. It is no accident they are who they are. Many are raised through the Catholic system who don't achieve as Tony Abbott has. Whereas Turnbull's life is defined by ambition and ego, Tony's has been through service and devotion. It is humbleness which leads to great leadership. 


Kristina Keneally is running for parliament but forgetting her awful time as Premier of NSW. She had been the insider paralysed to make any good decision. Instead, corruption blossomed under her 'leadership.' Even so, she may well get elected ahead of the Australian Citizen John Alexander who had not needed to vacate his seat as he was never a dual citizen. But Turnbull panicked.  And people like Dick Smith label Amazon bad for selling great produce at cheap prices. 

I made a mistake yesterday blaming Dan Andrews for a blackout that limited my tutoring work in Hallam's industrial area. Dan Andrews' abysmal power policy will see people suffer brown outs and possibly die from them (I need a CPAP machine to sleep). The proximate cause for the blackout, I'm told, is from a tree falling on powerlines. Doesn't make Andrews' policy any good.

It is Thanksgiving in my old homeland, and so I would like to list some things I am thankful for. I would like to thank my friends who have stood by me in some very trying times. I won’t list them as my abusers still target people, but I can live in a loving home, I have people who know me and help with my burdens, I have people I can love and point to what is important in their lives as a friend. That last bit is very important. I was never so poor as when I could not give. One does not need lots of money to give, just don’t give money if you don’t have it. Give time. Share with others. Build for others. It comes down to one’s heart. There is never enough to give *anything* if one waits for coffers to fill and grain silos to exceed necessity. But by giving, by being part of a community, one’s reach broadens. You do not have enough, but we can suffice together. 

Thanksgiving is not an Australian custom as the US practices it. An Aussie might lift an eyebrow and think “Whatever, mate.” But giving is universal. Because those that don’t give don’t prosper. I thank God for being part of my life. 

IPA Review (Nov 2016) features a Dr Jennifer Marohasy article “Your Dinner Party Survival Guide” putting the facts of climate change on the table. AGW hysterics have not found an appropriate solution to their perceived problem. The world spends $Trillions each year on removing plant food from the atmosphere, denying the world’s poor an opportunity to not be poor as the money is diverted to filthy rich AGW hysterics. Climate change has drifted from a scientific concern based on a greenhouse gas which isn’t in a greenhouse to becoming a religious debate where reason does not apply. In his call to Catholic faithful, Pope Francis is promoting a dangerous, costly fad. Both poles are cooling with growing ice each year, so now hysterics point to a perceived acidification of ocean waters. Why is the answer supposed to be expensive power bills and diverting funds for the world’s poorest? As Scott Adams might note, there are two different movies being played regarding climate change. In one movie, people are destroying the world by even existing. In the other movie, progress means change and the world will prosper if resources are appropriately managed. As it becomes apparent that the hysterics claiming the world is ending are clearly wrong, their believers will either self correct or double down and be more hysterical. Regardless, the only responsible answer for either movie is to sensibly manage resources. Happy Thanksgiving.

.A lot of credit has gone to some people for equal rights and humanity in law. Not long ago, in the US, one could be arrested for shooting blacks without a license, but might not be. In NYC, bars were segregated, and public toilets. Parading as progressives, Democrats have a dark history. Exploiting black people is second nature to them. And Democrats have spawns among student unions. And the actions of Black Justice League at Princeton University in calling for segregated spaces for black students is evil. It is exactly what segregationists wanted in the past. George Wallace would have applauded after one of his flock gunned down Martin Luther King. FDR was diverted from shaking the hands of athlete Jesse Owens. Obama has promoted division. And the fruits of evil is found in Democrat policy which once owned good intentions. 

For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.

Quis Custodiet Ipsos Custodes (Who watches the watchers?)
Daniel Andrews campaign for the ALP in Victoria shows he is from the Joan Kirner, Julia Gillard school of political thought, but making Rudd like claims to being economically responsible. Meanwhile, he exercises no control over his own party. 

Obama's bad diplomacy is pushing Australia towards a Chinese regional infrastructure bank. 

ALP kill another $900 million in cuts, saving hand outs to union mates which will probably go to slush funds. 

ABC culture is conditioned to waste. That is why a 5% cut has exulted in job slashing and pain, because the self indulged won't bear to lose their waste. Meanwhile a conservative is appointed to host a program, but not on tv or internet, and they are restricted in what they can discuss on their radio program which will be broadcast at the prime time for people to watch TV. 

More detail regarding the death of an Al Qaeda leader eight years ago. We might not know who did it, but they deserve a medal. 

Jacqui Lambie quit PUP. Probably because they could choose to decommission her and replace her with another had she not done so. Her voting record is almost the same as the ALP, so it remains to be seen how independent she will be. Meanwhile, her former boss, Clive Palmer tweeted that 5% of cuts for ten years for the ABC was equivalent to 50%. Technically, it was the same as 5% over ten years. Maybe that is why a billionaire needed to steal twelve million dollars. Meanwhile Palmer claims that Lambie was a plant who has joined his party to sabotage it. Sadly none of his Tasmanian relatives were available for the spot on the Senate. 

Ricky Muir, whose voting record is almost the same as the ALP, had a point of difference with his support for a government bill regarding financial institutionalised practice. His backflip brings his record closer in line with the ALP. Some feel that that makes him more independent.

Left wing media still doesn't know how to correctly position spying in the modern world. They feel it is something conservatives do.
