BUT OBAMA TOLD SPIES TO GIVE CUBA INFORMATION

The media savages Donald Trump for giving Russia a scrap of intelligence about ISIS. But this order from Barack Obama was fine: "The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) will ...  find opportunities for engagement on areas of common interest through which we could exchange information on mutual threats with Cuban counterparts.”

Typical Bolt distort and then go to a yes but response. Obama's directive was public and in plain sight of the Intelligence community he didn't flap his chops in a a private divulging state secrets. Big difference but one that doesn't suit the current News Corp  White House Policy. Defend Trump at all costs. What Obama did was in clear knowledge of Congress and the intelligence services big difference.

 

 

 

BANNING THE PIE MAN: HAS QANTAS GOT TOO PERSONAL?

How many Qantas passengers have been convicted of assault, rape or even murder - yet are still allowed to fly? Yet Qantas and Jetstar have banned for life a man who shoved a pie in the face of Qantas boss Alan Joyce. Note, too, that there are very few flying options, so the ban comes close to a denial of a vital service.

What a pathetic defense Bolt puts up "Note, too, that there are very few flying options, so the ban comes close to a denial of a vital service." Had it been a student pieing a pro Israel speaker Bolt would be demanding they be jailed. QANTAS is a public company and on any other day Bolt would maintain and defend their right to do whatever they wanted. Today he posted Rowan Dean's comments in support of John Laws agreeing that as an employer Laws had the right to demand whatever he wanted of his staff because he was the employer. Bolt was nodding however not so QANTAS. It goes to show just how two faced Bolt is.

 Trump Meeting Contained Absolutely No Intelligence, Russia Confirms

By The Shovel on May 17, 2017

The Russian foreign minister has responded to the growing furore over his recent White House meeting with Donald Trump, saying the meeting was totally devoid of intelligence.
“If there was intelligence in the room, we didn’t see it,” Mr Lavrov told a press briefing. “We may have shared some intelligence with him, but it was certainly a one-way trade”.
He sought to calm fears about US secrets falling into Russian hands. “Through our sources we get leaked a transcript of every conversation that takes place in the Oval Office. But we’re yet to see anything of substance, so Americans can rest easy”.

FAIRFAX WAKES UP: YES, ABC STEALING AUDIENCE

I've long warned the ABC misuses taxpayers' money to help drive Fairfax out of business. Finally Fairfax boss Greg Hywood says it, too: "The ABC is creating additional pressure on local commercial media by aggressively competing with the same audience that commercial media rely on by providing online content for free." Same Left-wing audience, too.    

18 Well why don't the private media companies provide the national services that all Australians need and deserve as citizens of Australia. All you need do is turn on Fox tel and free to air services and see what News Corp doesn't sell and isn't the slightest interest in supplying. Australian content for one we know Murdoch is chasing a globalized service entertainment content provided out of the USA. 

No rural content no news or information and panel content cloned from the style of Fox News. 

Don't let Bolt kid you he battling here for 'media' he's not. It's the battle to destroy news and information in Australia. When the ABC fails to have the trust of the Australian electorate to the extent News Corp has then Bolt's argument might just hold some water but now it holds none. 

 

 

SAVVA: THE BUDGET MEANT TO SAVE TURNBULL WASN'T

So was this a Budget meant to save the Turnbull Government? That depends when you asked the question: when the Budget was just delivered and looked good, or now, when the polls show it's done nothing to save the Liberals. Regard Niki Savva.

  "Fingers crossed that wrecking everything the party stands for will somehow convince voters that the L:iberals stand for something:" Bolt. This is a typical statement from an obtuse Andrew Bolt What is it he's trying to say that tony Abbott all guns drawn is about to smash the liberal Party to show what it is he stands for himself? Somehow Bolt like all paranoid conservatives from the alt-right seems to thing that QANTAS, and the BANKS are sucking up to Labor why? The paranoia just can't have them believe Australians  are for same sex marriage and that it's not just an insidious Labor political ploy. Does anybody realize  that we are the leading  backward nation on this issue. Canada legalized it over 10 years ago as did some states of the USA. Ireland recognizes it and it's not been a Labor ploy. Tony Abbott is watching his words in case the bad polls are blamed on him. He's staying stum" The budget is the government's Plan B, but what's Plan C if polls stay bad?

THIS 'FAIRNESS' IS JUST ENVY

We now have a deadly measure for judging a Budget and it’s not whether it will make us better off. It's whether it's "fair". But this "fairness" is the kind that will make us equally poor.  

Col What's unfair is Bolt has gone on three days in a row on this same topic and calls it work. What it is is non productive repetition for which he gets paid. It's of no value to anyone but Bolt. Firstly the ABC isn't promoting the argument which Bolt suggests they are they are reporting the work of some philosophers. So Andrew Bolt true to form is bull shitting for a start. Secondly families aren't and have never been the universal social unit for raising kids and it isn't today. The nuclear family is less than 200 years old and is infact changing as we speak. In fact it's increasingly becoming a dysfunctional unit and is changing out of economic necessity. 

The Israeli Kibbutz never saw the family as the major socializing unit in society nor did the Chinese. The extended family in India has a higher priority than the the nuclear family for raising children. Bolt's myth that wealth is a sign of  entreneurship, hard work and prudence is just that a myth and his three days of non productive Labor is living proof of that. The growing poor are not only harder workers they are far more prudent than Bolt and as for entrepreneurship they invent more ways to make extra money than the rich. If there is any envy it's really anger because it's quite clear the idle rich do nothing productive . They  collect interest and capital gains and do if anything jobs like a Andrew Bolt which are a waste of time and energy as far as an adult male id concerned

 

Job Fears For 90% Of Millennials After Latte-Art Robot Invented  

By The Shovel on May 17, 2017

The vast majority of people under the age of 30 are at risk of losing their job, after a scientist developed a robot that can do latte art.
Melbourne University scientist Simon Kowoski said the robot has already mastered love hearts and leaves, making the key skills of over a million Millenials obsolete over night. The robot is now working on a grumpy cat motif, which – if successful – will put an end to the careers of highly skilled operators as well.
The robot is in the early stages of growing a beard.

An initial survey of customers shows a high approval rating, with many citing factors such as efficiency, superior body odour, and not being invited to see someone’s awful band.
Mr Kowoski is now working on a baby boomer robot that can sit idly and complain despite complete financial security.

 

PUTIN OFFERS TRUMP HELP THAT WON'T HELP

Vladimir Putin is enjoying Donald Trump's strife: "Putin last night said he was prepared to release transcripts to prove Donald Trump did not pass any secrets on to the Russian Foreign Minister... “(Lavrov) didn’t share these secrets with us.... That is very bad of him,” Mr Putin said to sniggers from the audience."

 Bolt's turned against Abbott it would seem and is now like Trump defending Putin. It seems Abbott was unfair in wanting to shirtfront Putin. If Trump is a proven liar as was Tony Abbott and Putin is regarded as a deft one Bolt it seems a convicted one does support and continues to support the liar's club.

 

BILL SHORTEN IS LABOR'S TONY ABBOTT

BILL Shorten is Labor’s Tony Abbott. He’s unpopular, the media mocks him, his rivals want him gone and … but wait, his party will win. It’s strange that the more Labor wins, the more Shorten’s critics whinge that he’s holding it back. We've seen all this before.

Tony Abbott doesn't have Party support if he did he only had it for a fleeting moment. Shorten has his Party's support and he's had it for quite some time. Bolt's frustration is in the fact that Shorten doesn't have to do anything but sit back and watch Abbott doing a Rudd with a significant singular difference he hasn't the support of the electorate or the party so he needs to terrorize it and he needs to do it now because time is running out.

Migrants Failing To Assimilate, 200-Year-Study Finds

By The Shovel on May 16, 2017

Migrants to Australia have displayed an inability to assimilate with local values and refuse to speak anything but their native tongue, a study covering the last 200 years has found.
The study confirms a popularly-held belief in parts of the country that migrants simply refuse to fit in.
Boat people from as far back as 1788 didn’t bother applying for passports or visas, were bent on introducing their own laws, and, in many cases concealed criminal records, according to the damning report.

–– ADVERTISEMENT ––

Chief researcher Marianne Williams said migrants have stubbornly refused to adapt to the local culture. “They haven’t made an effort to fit in, and in a lot of cases they’ve tried to impose their own laws onto those already here”.
One migrant, a chook thief in his native England, immigrated to Australia in 1803 and despite his past career and skill set, was reduced to working as a local politician to make ends meet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

REAL WAGES FALL, BUT NOT FOR PUBLIC SERVANTS

My editorial from The Bolt Report:

17 May Bolt is a  blind man pointing out that wages for the public service didn't fall while failing to mention that those of some 24  Hedge  Fund managers rose to $14.5 billion dollars on low performance figures. $5.9 million per day. It seems when it comes to private enterprise figures of that magnitude are fine. The man is a fish out of water when talking money. The rich are getting richer and the poor poorer and Bolt says it's the public servants fault. "Good performance, mediocre results or even downright ugly returns. When it comes to hedge funds, it scarcely matters. The 25 best-paid hedge fund managers earned a collective $14.8 billion last year.
Wage growth has been flat for 3 years that's when Tony Abbott took the helm of SS Australia isn't it? He told us he'd fixed the economy if I recall and that was BS

 Hedge fund managers don’t always beat the market, but they still make billions

 

ON JOHN LAWS INSISTING FEMALE STAFF WEAR SKIRTS

John Laws on The Project on making his female staff wear skirts: "He who pays the piper calls the tune.... To me a skirt on a beautiful body is a very, very feminine thing.” I discussed this with Rowan Dean. Watch here.

 Repetition  Repeating the Bolt Report on his blog Bolt calls work part of his 80 hour a week work load. What bullshit. When there are no jobs about and you apply for one and are told you will have to fuck the manager weekly "that's Choice that's the casting couch that's ok according to Bolt and Dean. Freeedom of Choice int their world explained.
