Andrew Bolt's Blog,26/9/15; Bolt's irrelevance; Bolt is trying to drag the new jockey down; Covergence is not Bolt's game; Abbott the Humpty Dumpty tale; Bolt's the puppett for the Tea Party; Bolt would cheer if a Muslim Warmer shot the Pope; Bolt remains silent on the fix for Syria but the war is good for conservatives; Bolt is advertising for the smugglers; Abbott and all the kings men; Abbotts distortion of the truth;
and lack of humour or a funny bone but very laughable.
Ego dented Bolt can't help respond to comments of irrelevance. He calls the writings of some media and public a storm, ye a storm in a tea cup.
Bolt's reply dissolves to a school boy's hysteric "stick and stones can... but names can never " Yesterday Bolt was Boo hoo hooing and sobbing facetiously. Sticking his tongue out at one and all saying "I don't care" when he really does. He's the opposite of how he wants to be seen, the man who stepped out of Peter Jackson's window. Here he even regards himself as a replacement for Tony Abbott. The new target a lot of bull but no eye.
No Andrew Abbott would never have been taken down as easily as he was without the help of News Corp or 2GB his Faustian contract with right wing media gave him such a slanted profile the 'real' Tony Abbott was never seen. Bolt ramming this down throats but it hardly hardly seemed genuine. Abbott came across as a street brawler who could only do slogans and had to use spin doctor strategies to try to impress us. He simply failed and it showed in the polls. Others before him also had to deal with the polls and weren't such dullards doing it.
How is it Andrew Bolt Tony's mate is left cleaning up the yolk after Humpty's fall? Bolt's influence on the polls was ziltch. His inability to warn Abbott obvious. If that doesn't spell irrelevant what does?

Bolt is very selective in the stories he presents to provide evidence for his negative generalizations of what's occurring in Europe. Of course this is an epic event and selecting the entry point for the UK one of the worst places. But war is even worse as is some of the camps these people have fled from. Comparisons with the movement of people during WW2 are often made. Would Bolt be railing back then arguing against these mass demographic changes? It it wasn't for WW2 he'd probably be a Dutchman. Bolt's post declaring mass migration as an "invasion" and "occupation" is simply distorting the fact that the population growth of the EU due to this movement is approx 1%.
Furthermore Germany, Sweden,and Iceland are just some of the countries welcoming Bolt's exaggerated vision. Icelanders were in fact ashamed of their goverment's lack of assistance so much so their intake is now 3.5% and people are ready to invite them into their homes and even pay for their flights. It's a generosity of spirit that Andrew Bolt simply can't comprehend. It certainly doesn't fit his theory of "invasion" It does however fit the description of the benefits Sheparton found when they allowed themselves to be invaded by refugees from Iraq who now represent 4%of their demographic. Bolt hates success stories.

"Terry McCrann says the Prime Minister has changed but the problems are the same:"
If this is the message McCrann and Bolt are spreading well blow me down and state the obvious. Abbott was up to his election and after screaming the sky was falling in and he produced a budget accordingly. The country didn't believe a word he said. So out of the blue he said the economy was fixed. But like a magician he hadn't done anything but started spending. Even Bolt was flabbergasted and complained asking where the money was coming from. So the fixed deficit has now doubled unemployment is up and a recession seems to be heading our way. What has changed is the man who couldn't give water away in a drought so badly did the country think of him. Even Murdoch realized he'd backed the wrong jockey. He now wants a snap election to extend the race. However he needs to change Turnbull the new jockey who can't be bribed, change him for Scott Morrison.
Australia is hoping for a convergence in politics a convergence that will probably not call for the rape of the ABC or Australia in general by big business. However it's a delay rather than a turn around. Their ambition is eventually to control all political parties. The ambition is s border less and tax free business world.

"Obviously I know, having been a practitioner of politics in this
country, that the top job has never been less secure," he told News Corp
Australia."Abbott
What Abbott fails to realize still his alliance with 2GB and News Corp didn't help either because he became what was obviously a scripted PM rather than one who revealed himself. A lot of sycophantic praising was going on rather than any genuine Aussie banter. Abbott appeared manufactured as a PM. Andrew Bolt maybe his friend but his mouth did nothing to help the man. Greg Sheridan tried and came across as sincere but Bolt simply never does.

Bolt is so formulaic he just imports right wing propaganda straight from the Tea Party Horse and gets paid.
" Clinton said she was not aware if the data on her server was erased." We can assume the Republicans accept this as even Bolt does
" But now the Clinton campaign’s talking points claim there was no wiping, after all:
" However now they are calling Clinton a liar because she was unaware of what was done to her server.
" Two issues: Clinton exposed the US to a massive security breach. Then she lied about it." These two issues of security have never been raised by in fact have been cleared by every agency that has so far investigated the issue the CIA included. Only the FBI hasn't made their final report. The conservative press however keep pushing shit up a hill with a pointed stick why because they want which of their brilliant candidates not to run against her. Trump, Bush, Fiorina, who might be able to give it their best?

The problem Bolt is attacking the Pope for all the things he didn't say why? Because the pope is talking about what he sees as a global problem one that effects us all the planet. The disparagement by Bolt because the Pope didn't address what Bolt wanted to hear is a mere distraction. If Bolt sees the Pope as just the fallible leader of 2.2 billion people that's fine if his logic is flawed Americans will turn their backs on Climate Change. The Republican position wont change and common sense will prevail wont it Bolt. Your struggling certainly wont have an effect. It seems the Popes message had a major effect in Congress for members of both parties. America and the UK seem to be fast becoming the dominant Christian religions in both countries.Pope addresses US Congress: Presidential candidates react to speech with cheers and tears

It would have been great to have realized that Saddam, Gadadfi , and Assad were all part of the solution that originally kept the lid on the Middle East as Tito once did in Jugoslavia. The US really never has got that right it never really had a history of interest in the internal politics of the countries involved. Their primary concern was their economic and political interest. If Bush hadn't manufactured an excuse to invade Iraq the Middle East would not be the blood bath we see today. The US created ISIS .Women were educated and less repressed under Saddam Gaddaffi and Assad than they are today. Poverty and repression may have been better handled politically and not at the barrel of a gun.
" The West proved itself fickle and spineless, and anything it does now is too little and too late."
Does Bolt suggest the West should have assisted the Syrian rebels? Well we did we armed them. Our involvement lead to ISIS. Does Bolt suggest we should have joined Putin and Iran and assisted Assad. No because Russia and China were way ahead of them and none were really in the interest of Israel. So while having absolutely no solution the war is still useful. It's useful for domestic politics in the US and the Republicans are using it for just that as has the LNP. The politics of the Middle East didn't impact on us but Abbott and News Corp imported the Republican message "their coming to get us" for their political gain.
No matter that people are dying so we need to bomb the bad guys who at one time were the good guys because Obamah is doing nothing and that's a political opportunity. There is no concern for the history or complexity involved the Conservatives while offering no solutions simply argue whatever the Republicans are doing it's wrong, Bolt has little concern for the Syrians or Iraqis he's shown that with his lack of compassion for refugees. He applauds our cutting foreign aid and calls for even harsher treatment of asylum seekers globally whether they are those heading for Europe or Guatemalans escaping war at home and heading for the US. Like the Republicans he calls for escalation of the war applauding Abbott as a world leader while bagging out Obama and it's all for what? News Corps business model which supports conservative business interests in each of the countries' domestic politics in which it operates. VIDEO: Noam Chomsky: U.S. Is Greatest Threat to World Peace

" The whole ugly circus starts again. Is Malcolm Turnbull the man to
resist it? Will be become another Kevin Rudd, who in 2008 caved in to
these same demands to show his “compassion”, weakening our border laws
with disastrous results?"
If anyone is weakening border protection it's Andrew Bolt. Bolt loves it when he can muddy the waters by calling two issues one. How we deal with and treat people is not a reflection of our border laws. Our marriage laws are distinct from how we are entitled to treat people within marriage. To treat people more humanely in detention on Manus or Nauru is to admit we do have a responsibility to judge what it is we are paying for. It has no relevance to any strengthening or weakening of our border laws. Bolt simply runs the two together to distort the issue.
However he gives the people smugglers the opportunity to can start up again. I wonder if he sends a copies of what he writes to Jakarta. I'm sure people are listening and are using what he writes to promote their business. As he says he subsidizes the Australian so they need to be less hostile to him he subsidizes people smugglers as well and they need to start up again and prove him right.Slogans versus facts on boat arrivals (Part 1)

Bolt is crying over spilled milk. Turnbull and Abbott were in the ring for little over a few minutes. What occurred was set in February 2015 "give me 6 months to change things" Abbott asked. 30 consecutive drubbings in the polls spooked the Party. Tony Abbott hadn't changed anything no matter what Andrew Bolt , Margie and his daughters think of him. The Liberal Party does not reward loyalty only success and they felt it slipping away. Andrew Bolt can talk about Canning and hypothetical till the cows come home. He can write a bio on the 'real' Tony it wont matter and it doesn't matter now. What does matter is how the electorate feels and Australia feels a bloody sight better.
Andrew Bolt's wife and kids might love Andrew Bolt we may not understand why and think he's a prick because it's his public persona. After all very few people read what he writes or even pay attention to what he has to say. It's a pity we don't or can't have a vote to have him dumped. However the Liberal Party 99 MPs voted and it was over red rover Turbull was called.Fact check scorecard: How does Tony Abbott’s record of claims and promises stack up?

Andrew Bolt actually gets his news not from Tim Blair but The ABC
"Surely we still have a right to say who our friends are. Surely Fair
Work Australia has no right to demand we be hypocrites or liars.
I said this decision was mad. It is also sinister. " Andrew Bolt
As usual Bolt only prints what he wants and not the full story of an event that that took place over several years and 18 incidents that took place at work not just one
Josh Bornstein for Maurice Blackburn lawyers said
"The Fair Work Commission didn't find that unfriending someone on Facebook constitutes workplace bullying," he said.
"What the Fair Work Commission did find is that a
pattern of unreasonable behaviour, hostile behaviour, belittling
behaviour over about a two-year period, which featured a range of
different behaviours including berating, excluding and so on,
constituted a workplace bullying.
Mr Bailey said people need to remember what they say on social media is
given the same weight as talking face to face or over the phone."
Bolt and Blair for the purpose of a better, more interesting and controversial read editorialize what really happened. However it wasn't the truth. Bolt expects the ABC reports to be like Hansard non manipulated. However when he gets hold of them he feels entitled to twist them to will.
