DONALD TRUMP'S PHONE CALL: KELLY BLASTS THE DEMOCRAT WHO CHEAPENED IT

I saw gloating TV commentators tear into Donald Trump over his latest "scandal" - making allegedly disrespectful comments to the mother of a fallen soldier, as claimed by an eavesdropping Democrat politician. I instantly suspected I was hearing yet more fake news. Now a stunning speech by White House chief of staff John Kelly confirms it.

What is more than strange about Bolt's post he doesn't bother about the statements from the primary source the mother of the dead soldier as if she's totally the unimportant factor in this whole episode? It's basically how Trump treated her with no respect. Trump called on the White House Press secretary to speak on his behalf first when that didn't work he turned to his Chief of Staff does someone for one moment expect Kelly is going to refute his boss and how dare anyone to refute the words of a 4-star general?
The greatest disrespect is coming from the likes of Fox news and Andrew Bolt who have simply regarded the Gold Star Soldier's Mother as a doormat to be ignored in the entire matter. 

Even Fox News end up admitting Trump lied

Calling Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-Fla.) a liar keeps backfiring.

Andrew Bolt Yesterday attempted to rescue those that had drowned in their lies by simply treating the Mother of the dead soldier as a doormat. Anything she might have had to say on the matter was irrelevant

General Kelly said she had delivered a 2015 speech at an FBI field office dedication in which she "talked about how she was instrumental in getting the funding for that building", rather than keeping the focus on the fallen agents for which it was named.Video of the speech contradicted his recollection.

NOW THE CZECHS TURN NATIONALIST, TOO

Nationalism is spreading in Europe. The latest example: "Andrej Babis, dubbed the 'Czech Trump', clinched victory in the Czech Republic's election on Saturday... Babis's... anti-euro ANO (Yes) movement won with 29.7 percent ... followed by the eurosceptic right-wing ODS party on 11.3 percent."

There are no doubt Nationalists like Bolt and One Nation have managed to divide and increase hatred in Australia. Since the Cronulla riots that dislike of Muslims, for instance, has grown from a feeble 9% to 33% enabled by the likes of Andrew Bolt and he calls that 'the right direction' It certainly is right dividing and not in any way unifying. However, government by enablers of division can never govern a divided nation so logic dictates it's the wrong direction. Yes, it's easy to push Humpty Dumpty off the wall but who will put him back together again? Bolt claims division is 'the right direction' but history shows it results in a fascist dictatorship one not inspired by the people being governed. Be warned Hitler, Franco, Pinochet all were unable to put Humpty back together.
How is it Bolt believes in the unity of the division and diversity of the EU but rails against the same in our Multicultural Australia. Isn't that oxymoronic thinking? 



 

EVERY WORD FALSE: TURNBULL'S PLAN CAN'T CUT PRICES

Alan Moran on the new electricity plan: "The Prime Minister said: 'The National Energy Guarantee will lower electricity prices, make the system more reliable, encourage the right investment and reduce emissions without subsidies, taxes or trading schemes.'... None of this is true." Read on. It is a warning that the media backs this plan.

Bolt can't seem to get a grip on the fact that if prices are maintained at today's level that's essentially "cutting" prices. No, he turns to the Breitbart magazine of Australia Quadrant to make his point. When advice by experts declare it's a model that will do what it says it will Bolt turns to Alan Moran Climate Change Denier nonexpert. Moran was even sacked by the IPA for his social media activities and extreme anti-Islam views which are surprise surprise  aligned with the most extreme supporters of Abbott
Strange isn't it that Bolt and Moran are still echoing things that haven't happened in fact the reverse has occurred the threat that smelters will be closed. When Whyalla's steelworks has just been bought by Sanjeev Gupta who wants to but Rio Tinto's aluminum smelters too we are hearing the voices of these two dillitantes maintaining the opposite is true and Gupta a world expert is an idiot. But then they are also noted racists as well

BELLA AND BOYS ON IDENTITY POLITICS

I had a great chat with Dr. Bella D'Abrera on my show on how identity politics now infests more than a third of history subjects taught at our universities. But the guys at the Young IPA Podcast have since interviewed her with more skill and a hell of a lot more laughs. Do yourself a favor and listen. Terrific fun in a studio falling to bits.

Bolt is fundamentally anti-multiculturalism and demands history to be a socialization tool for monocultural thinking, however, history has always been a pluralistic division of groups within society and never a single history that allows one perspective to dominate and define those in the exclusion zone. Nationalists believe in historical canon. What Bolt calls identity politics in negative terms is diversity which doesn't acknowledge the dominance of white western Christian protestant view of this nation which in fact is simply the history of the elite of this nation and not one of all of its citizens.
There is less value in a historical canon to all of us than being taught the means and process by which the ongoing review of history need to be interpreted and questioned. Stereotypical Politics Identity Politics what is the difference is there a difference when Abbott declares a woman's place is in the kitchen and a woman declaring they have been entrapped in the kitchen by the misogynistic roles forced on them by Industrialization and the notion of the male-dominated factory system. Today's economy has brought about changes to the nuclear family that has altered the traditional roles women and men today play.
