  Andrew Bolt's Opinionated Know-Nothings

Fox & Friends Proudly Recalls When The U.S. Defeated 'Communist Japan'

Andrew Bolt believes in the mass model of uniform educational training and claims that a personalised teaching system as practised in Scandinavian countries only produces expensive "Opinionated Know-Nothings. He's proven to be one of those Opinionated  Know-Nothings himself so he knows what he's talking about when it comes to mass rote cheap training practices.

  Bolt happens to work for Murdoch Media who specialises in employing O K-Ns and tying them to extremely tight editorial contracts. Here is a perfect example of Murdoch Media in action where Trumps favourite morning hosts prove how America is Great. Afterall they defeated Communist Japan in WW2. Andrew Bolt can be seen to parallel the Opinionated Know- Nothings on Fox much of his time.

This is your brain... Yes, this is your brain while watching Fox News, Sky News, and Andrew Bolt. That well known public indigenous Australian intellectual in his own mind that we are expected to appreciate.

 

PHILLIP ADAMS' GUIDE TO HANDLING TERRORISTS: PRETEND NOT TO SEE

The ABC's "unbiased" Phillip Adams set an astonishing standard for wishing to ignore what doesn't suit: "If only we could have infuriated bin Laden by ignoring 9/11." 

18/08/201854

Firstly the deaths due to terrorism in the West have never amounted to anything like the deaths resulting in the chase for Bin Laden. The costs involved and still accruing might well have solved Australia's problems. So what is it Bolt even means with a remark like this? "The ABC's "unbiased" Phillip Adams set an astonishing standard for wishing to ignore what doesn't suit: " If Bin Laden were climate change he'd be saying just that "ignore it". Ignoring Bin Laden or sitting down and talking with him might have saved the USA and Australia from the outcome and expense of the now never ending story

Bolt's opinion is hidden behind a PAYWALL and obviously isn't his, it's Sunday after all.  However, does it take into account that Osama bin Laden was a friend and ally of the USA his family certainly were close to the Bushes? They were with Bush on 9/11.
Bolt's denial of Climate Change is fundamentally based on the wasted cost of the combat trying to stop it. To convince us that all alternative energies would cost too much. However not so the money spent in Afghanistan Iraq and Pakistan to date as a result of the chase for Bin Laden since 2001. Apparently, Bot sees that cost as justified. Without counting the costs of American and civilian deaths resulting from the "war against terror" decisions an outcome Bolt deems "right" the financial cost to the American taxpayer has been over $5 Trillion dollars and is still growing.
What solutions could that amount of money have provided for the American economy or done for Australia's if applied to infrastructure, the NBN, Welfare, Pensions, Health, Housing, Education and the deficit.? Fair enough we didn't spend as much as the Americans but how much has it cost us for not "sitting" down with Osama or ignoring him. It's far more reasonable a consideration than what we have done and are continuing to do year in year out.

MCCRANN: TURNBULL CANNOT SELL A POLICY THIS DUMB

Terry McCrann says there's no way Malcolm Turnbull can persuade voters that his NEG will cut both emissions and prices: "Do you really expect that building a power generation network of something like 50GW of total... generating capacity and how many Tesla and Snowy 2.0 big batteries  ... can then deliver cheaper electricity?" 

1h1

Yes it's certainly PAYWALL day handballing the work to others in the Murdoch Stable 

Terry McCrann definitely a Know-Nothing Opinionator whose opinion is fundamentally based on calling all experts other than himself  " the various idiots otherwise known as energy experts" What's McCrann's expertise? Is it technology, no! Is it Science, no! Is it accounting, we are told it is, but there's no sign of it here is there? Currently, renewable energy technology has, in fact, progressed so fast that coal isn't the cheapest form of energy available so much so how could it conceivably be in 20 years? We see Indian businessmen, coal kings, like Adani bailing out of it and becoming their countries biggest renewable investors. Shouldn't a reasoned financial expert like McCrann take their thinking into account?  Surely they have the resource to research their risks far more than McCrann has. Has anybody actually taken his advice? They must be the idiots he's referring to.
The speed and costs of building renewable plants aren't as long as coal plants clean coal is only some 5% cleaner and hardly a revolution. If one can see and not just assume " global transition" is the goal and is occurring Australia would be the idiots sticking with 19th Century technology. So what we see is a failure to communicate because what McCann is offering is little more than abuse and it's coming from less than a minority opinion editorially driven by Murdoch Media.

  Crime gangs: Facts, fiction and furphies

Yes, there is a sinister group (gang, if you like) well practised in the dark arts of moving quickly on the vulnerable for personal gain. They are the politicians who jumped into this debate with the subtlety of a belly flop in a wading pool.
Internal police figures show that of Victoria's 15,000 "serious" crimes ranging from murder, serious assaults, rape and armed robberies to carjackings, around 200 are committed by offenders of Sudanese descent - which means you are 74 times more likely to be attacked by non-Sudanese.
So what do these statistics prove? Absolutely nothing, other than that you can always find a set of numbers to justify an argument.

 Piss Weak on Law and Order? Look No Further than Peter Dutton

The issue of law and order is squarely in Dutton’s domain, and while he has no responsibility on state matters, he has a major one on federal ones, particularly border protection. Which makes it all the more galling that while he wastes his energy on matters that are not his concern, he has been derelict on one in his own backyard. The problem is not that Dutton is too tough - it is that he is not tough enough.
For nearly 12 months the state government, at the request of senior police, have asked their federal counterparts to change the law to make it illegal to import Bute without a legitimate reason and still the loophole remains large enough to drive a truck (filled with drugs) through it.
So while the Feds can legitimately brag they have stopped the boats with asylum seekers on them, they have done stuff-all to stop the boats filled with 1,4-Butanediol. And make no mistake, more people are hospitalised from Bute than from being bashed by Sudanese crime gangs.
Yet we do have a serious black crime problem. In Australia, an Indigenous youth is 24 times more likely to be imprisoned than the community average for that age bracket. It is a national disgrace.
Rehabilitating young offenders is not the soft option, it is the smart one. The alternative of policies driven by anger, fear, half-facts and the pursuit of headlines or votes leads to more crime and more victims - and history shows that if you shut the door on people, they eventually want to kick it down.
