College Dropout Hannity: Mueller 'Doesn't Know The Law' | Crooks and Liars
Last night, Hannity pretended to know more than special counsel Robert Mueller, who is not only a lawyer but a decorated Marine who served the second-longest term as FBI chief. Hannity, on the other hand, never spent a minute serving his country. He has, however, made big bucks spewing hate about those who have:
Is there something about dropouts and Murdoch Media? There is a difference between Hannity and Bolt, however. Bolt actually tried to convince his audience that he was educated at Adelaide Uni. Did Hannity attempt to lie too?
Bolt has often indicated he knows more about the law in Australia than our judges and courts. That he's more of a scientist on climate than the world's leading researchers. Yet Bolt has spent his working career in the hallowed halls and narrow confines of Murdoch Media only. He has admitted he hated journalistic discipline and avoids research, data and it's verification like the plague. (ODT)
He need only look into a mirror to see the one responsible for his own demise. When talking about parliamentary liars, Tony Abbott held the distinction of being the best.
In fact, he was, in my view, the greatest liar ever to have felt the plushness under his feet of the green carpet in the House of Representatives. It came just so naturally to him.
Tony Abbott suffered foot in mouth decease like no other politician, but never showed a hint of remorse. He was nothing more than a grubby individual who was at home in the politics of taking things down, never building them up.
His area of expertise was in hostilities, grudges and revenge. The back door manipulations that some politicians thrive on.
Typically, even defiantly, he said that he would “rather be a loser than a quitter.” Did he consider the other option of a gentle retirement to allow another person to stand for his seat? No, he was never a team man. He was also known as a supreme leaker of cabinet secrets.
His departure will not only see the end of a first class liar but also a first-class Luddite who not only wanted to destroy the internet, but also the renewable energy industry. He was a man of the past who never realised that it had passed him by.
My thought for the day
Power is a malevolent possession when you are prepared to forgo your principles and your country’s well-being for the sake of it. John Lord
Since its repeal, the Coalition has spent billions on its Direct Action Plan and Emissions Reduction Fund, only to see emissions rise by 4.2 per cent from their low in 2013. Power prices have also skyrocketed during this time. Increasing gas exports have seen Australians paying higher prices for gas than countries to whom we sell. Uncertainty about policy has hindered investment in energy generation from helping prepare us for the closure of old coal-fired power stations.
But Matt Canavan wants more coal-mining and new coal-fired power stations. He also wants banks to ignore the commercial unviability of these projects and for energy companies to stop talking about carbon-pricing and emissions reduction.
It was Labor that earned us a triple-A credit rating and Labor who kept the country growing when all others failed. It was Labor that took effective world-leading action on the global challenge of emissions reduction.
Labour offered a bank guarantee to support the strength of our financial sector when the world was in turmoil. The Coalition wants to offer profit guarantees to the dying coal industry and job promises in an increasingly automated industry.
The Coalition’s plan of maximising business profit, protecting unsustainable tax concessions and cutting taxes for the wealthy, cutting the public service and using compliant consultants instead, privatising assets and outsourcing services, and continuing the expensive and ineffective re-named Climate Solutions Fund, will not stimulate the economy or relieve the cost-of-living pressure for low income households. It will not secure our energy future. It will not provide job security. It will not address the lack of affordable housing or the millions living in poverty.
Scott, Josh, Angus, Matt, Peter – I’m afraid you’re not doing it for me.

I’m not feeling stimulated. Are you?
Some Facts overlooked
In the two years that the carbon price operated, electricity demand in the NEM declined by 3.8 per cent, the emissions intensity of electricity supply by 4.6 per cent, and overall emissions by 8.2 per cent, compared to the two years before the carbon price. It also raised $15.4 billion in revenue to cover the compensation.Since its repeal, the Coalition has spent billions on its Direct Action Plan and Emissions Reduction Fund, only to see emissions rise by 4.2 per cent from their low in 2013.

Wall Street tumbles as 'Tariff Man' Trump throws markets into a tizzy
With trading finished for the weekend, the S&P 500 has formally delivered its worst May return in seven years and second-worst since the 1960s, falling 6.6 per cent. Oil tumbled.The latest move by the self-described Tariff Man would put 5 per cent American duties on all Mexican imports on June 10, rising to 25 per cent in October unless Mexico halts "illegal migrants" heading to the US.
Trump's Mexico declaration and a Bloomberg report that China is planning to restrict rare-earths exports leave markets set for a turbulent end to what's been a rough month for global stocks.
