Fighting Fake News with REAL 31/1/22 Newspoll! Aged- Care; Kaye Lee; Trump incites Americans to Riot;

 

 

When the world judged Australia the best economy and Wayne Swan the best treasurer during the GFC the L-NP bellowed they were the worst. Now when world comparisons with other nations show their 8-year slide Barnaby Joyce makes out they are the better managers. Yes, Barnaby Joyce who showed us he couldn’t manage his own life let alone the nation's is running point guard for Scott Morrison who has a history of sackings for bad management. It’s time, time for his third sacking.

The opposition is ahead 56-44 on a two-party-preferred basis – the Coalition’s worst polling performance since September 2018 – according to the latest Newspoll survey conducted for The Australian newspaper. As the coronavirus pandemic drags on, Labor has increased its lead since the last poll on December 6 when it was ahead 53-47. Labor’s primary vote is up three points to 41 per cent while the Coalition has dropped two points to 34 per cent. For the first time, more voters surveyed thought Labor was better placed to steer Australia out of the COVID-19 pandemic (33 per cent) compared with the coalition (32 per cent). Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce said the pandemic made things tough but economic growth and a low unemployment rate were signs of good economic management.

Aged-care residents are being forced to isolate in their rooms without visits from family members for “weeks on end” as COVID-19 rips through the sector. Government figures show more than 1100 aged-care homes are now battling active outbreaks, with 222 elderly residents dying of COVID-19 in the week to January 27. All the while homes are having to get by with fewer workers.

When the Prime Minister chooses his Ministry, he has many things to consider – reward for support, factions, states, urban/country, diversity, longevity of service. Merit doesn’t get a look in. Or perhaps this bunch are the best the Coalition has?

Donald Trump, retired former blogger and twice impeached loser, had a rally of some sort in Texas on Saturday night. It was filled with the usual “lock her up” chants, conspiracy theories, lies, and right wing hysteria. One section really stood out to me, though. After ranting about investigations into him and his businesses, he actually encouraged his followers and cult members to riot and protest.

Trump is doing what America and American governments have done since WW2. He demanded to be America’s first Public Dictator and has called for an army to anoint him as such.

America tried to do it in Vietnam, Nicaragua, Afghanistan and lost but by and large were successful in El Salvador , Honduras, Panama, Chile throughout the Americas and so many other countries around the world in open defiance of any UN resolutions. They have defended Israel and other client states allowing them to do the same. It was just business. Now a Despot, the mirror image of what they wanted, and allowed in so many other countries, has been provided with the same opportunity that successive American governments offered others and he's tearing a nation that was always being stretched apart.

John Dean, 83, was White House counsel from 1970 to 1973 before being disbarred and detained as a result of the Watergate scandal, which led to Nixon’s resignation in 1974. Dean responded to Trump on Twitter. “This is beyond being a demagogue to the stuff of dictators,” he wrote. “He is defying the rule of law. Failure to confront a tyrant only encourages bad behaviour. If thinking Americans don’t understand what Trump is doing and what the criminal justice system must do we are all in big trouble!”

WHY THEY FEAR TONY ABBOTT

COLUMN There is an unspoken reason why Malcolm Turnbull, GetUp! and global warming groups are frantically trying to get Tony Abbott kicked out of politics in the May election. It's because they fear him, and no wonder.  Check this list of who'd be left to lead the Liberals after the election.

1) The exclamation mark is a full stop 2) The "and" ought to be "And ". 3) who but Bolt would start a sentence with and? A master of the English language isn't he?

Everything but the reality of Abbott's constant backflipping, broken promises and the backroom intent on dividing the Liberal Party for personal grievance after he was kicked out of the leadership. Yes, kicked out because he was warned he needed to change promised he would and didn't. It wasn't a close call to have Abbott removed he was kicked out as leader from the cabinet but refused to budge. The forever pugilist was not going to leave peacefully breaking promises saying he would behave and would bow to the Party's want. Yet again he promised to not rock the boat. That's why the movement became so influential in Warringah, not because of Get Up or Abbott haters, but simply Warringah locals called out "It's Time For Him To Go". It got louder after 36% of his own Party branch voted against his preselection even when he stood unopposed. 
Nobody doubts Abbott's a fighter but for whom and it's neither for Warringah, the Liberal Party or for Australia and we saw what happened to this country's reputation when he became PM. The country has been on a downward trajectory ever since on all indicators when compared to the rest of the OECD and even wider. Ye's Abbott won but Australia lost.
As for Bolt's column, I don't subscribe to that tabloid he writes for promising news but offering none. Newscorp might run the government in the US, but they don't have the ABC.

LABOR ASKS BURNSIDE TO RETURN NATIVE ART

Greens recruit Julian Burnside is now mocked by Labor's candidate for Kooyong over his membership of the male-only Savage club, which has Aboriginal and Oceanic art: "Julian, when you go into the Savage Club on Tuesday to cancel your membership, would you mind taking the artifacts out so I can return them to Traditional Owner’s where they belong?"

Is this politics I don't think it is. Andrew Bolt carries on like this all the time attacking the person rather than the issues. If it was the ALP's candidate doing the mocking, then he must be a student of Andrew Bolt's. It's possibly why Bolt is drawn to this sort of pedestrian politics he regards as debate. 

BISHOP HIMILIATED IN CURTIN POLL. CONSERVATIVE WINS

Julie Bishop has been humiliated in the preselection for her replacement in her seat of Curtin. She backed Erin Watson-Lynn, who once called herself a "non-Liberal voter". She urged preselectors to choose a Leftist like herself. She attacked Senator Mathias Cormann, who backed conservative Celia Hammond. Result: Watson-Lynn 1, Hammond 51.

Let's start with Bolt holding himself as an exemplar of the English language and word craft. Yesterday he went to bat correcting another reporters language today Bolt does what he frequently does gets it wrong himself.

Mocking well as I said he does that frequently and refers to it as debate. Here he is showing himself to be an exemplar of mocking but certainly nothing that even comes close to debate. 
There's no mention by Bolt of "merit" is there only Corman's girl wins over Bishop's Hammond was Vice-Chancellor of a University and as such had a better record in politicking. Bolt's call she was Corman's how demeaning is that. He also said the poor guy didn't stand a chance among all those women.

WHO LET THEM IN?

And still some say it's just a tiny minory of this refugee community: "Police arrested five people in Melbourne’s CBD during the Moomba Festival... following three brawls." More African youths: "A woman has been sexually assaulted and another punched in the face as police look for a group of six men believed to be behind a spate of robberies."

3h

Since the beginning of the year, there have been shootings, ATM robberies and reports of billions of dollars lost due to fraud but Andrew Bolt has ignored them all because they weren't African or Muslim. But give the man 2.5 months, and he'll pounce on the opportunity to fault a minority of immigrants if African or Muslim even if they are Immigrants like him first generation Australians only. Bolt fantasises that he fits in and others don't he will leap on the chance to scream like Trump that a legal invasion has occurred. The only person and a distinct minority is Andrew Bolt elitist, ethnocentric, racist bigot. Who hates the place and says he's too frightened to leave his house. An egoist in a city which most haven't a clue who he is or what he looks like. He says the once most livable city in the world has become so sick he dreams of living in Amsterdam an even more multicultural city with a higher population of non-Caucasians and twice as big as Melbourne. 

Let it be noted everyone was happy with Moomba except Andrew Bolt who didn't attend.

NEWSPOLL SINKS, AS TURNBULL, BISHOP STRIKE

I said Scott Morrison should have called an early election when Labor weakened our border laws. Since then it's gone downhill with bad growth figures, jobs for boys and the Turnbull trio - Malcolm Turnbull, Julie Bishop and Turnbull-backed Julia Banks - all campaigning against the Liberals. Result: Newspoll now has the Liberals 46% to Labor's 54.

13m

 When Bolt says "I" you know he's going to put his foot in his mouth. Morrison's Poll boost lasted a week. Call an early election for when the next day? Short elections have an 8-week run cycle these days Bolta must have stolen his idea from Twitter.

Liberal Party took the country downhill the day the Labor Party shot themselves in the foot and let Tony Abbott walk in the front door. We ranked 2nd in the OECD economically now we are 39th out of the 41 nations. Our debt has doubled in those 6 years. The Liberals declared there inability to rule was all Labor's fault now it's all Turnbull's fault. They just can't govern. Bolta must be close to needing to claim a war. Sorry, he has it's against the Africans and Muslims in Australia.

SMUDGE AND THE EROTIC MUSE ARE AAP'S POLITICAL SOURCES

Twitter leans Left. Any idiot knows it. Any journalist can also farm it for the comments that suit their prejudices. So this news story by AAP is lazy, biased and worthless: "Voters took to Twitter to voice their concern that Ms Hammond is too conservative to replace Ms Bishop, who was often branded a Liberal Party moderate." Check who it quotes.

MILO BAN: LIBERAL YOUTH GUARD SAVE ELDERS FROM SHAME

COLUMN The only good news from the Morrison Government’s craven attempt to ban Milo Yiannopoulos is that the  Liberals’ youngest MPs forced it last week to drop it.  Tim Wilson, 38, James Paterson, 31, and Amanda Stoker, 36, remembered something older Ministers seem to have forgotten.

Fraudster Milo ups Bolt's means of attention and opens the gate to rip off poorer unwitting sods.

The well known Liberal Youth Guard You couldn't make these things up if you tried only Andrew Bolt can. The title even makes them sound as if they are a new SS movement their age their uniform. One thing is for sure Bolt's turning 60 and not welcome. Yes, his use buy date reached long ago. In fact so much so he's been dumped by 2GB. If listening to his podcast with son Dom is any indication why he's gone well it's clear the man bumbles his way through topics and needs to be produced. His son well his dad's stooge and I suspect is far smarter.

Tim Wilson represents the newly formed fraud squad of the movement to get the money they need whatever, whenever and however you can. Patterson the IPA branch manager and Amanda Stoker, of course, the token woman because these days every Liberal movement has been forced to have one. Andrew Bolt has Daisy Cousens. As for Liberal principles, even Bolt doesn't dare declare what they are these days. Abbott's flipping and win at any cost by any means being the one and only first.

ABOUT THE BLOG

Some blog readers complain that more posts are behind a paywall. In a perfect world, they'd be free. We'd all here work for free. Indeed, I have provided a free service for a decade, much in my own time, but now we must ask you to subscribe to fund what you seem to value. The tips thread, though, and a post or two a day will remain free.

News Corp has made Bolt the PAYWALL a Billboard.

"I have provided a free service for a decade, much in my own time, but now we must ask you to help fund it." Bolt
Why does Bolt lie is it just his "nature" or "nurture" He's never worked for "free", and the few times he tried he failed. He's never worked an 80 hour week as he maintained was his regular practice. A simpleton at math could prove that. He's advertised, run paywalls and cross-advertising all under the false banner of "free" rather than the opposite "paid for" opinions not of one man but the Herald-Sun's and News Corp's. With the safety net of their lawyers and insurance company advertisers, sponsors and audience all dictating what he can and can't write in safety and as an unaccounted for donation to the LNP. It would seem Bolt's been losing punters and will now continue to lose more. Odd isn't it given there's an election coming up what does that suggest?
Sonia Kruger can openly tell everyone she was enabled, encouraged to be a vilifier of Indigenous Australians by Racist Andrew Bolt in her defence before the UNHRC Tribunal that found her guilty under Section 22 of our RDA and Bolt was not brought to task nor did he make any effort to publicly defend her? That's the nature of his fake dignity.
Bolt's not a great man he holds a privileged position of a cog in a Corporation made by Murdoch's mega-News Corp which rather than the reverse. When Bolt's gone there will be another doppelganger selling the same ideas trained to take his place, and he certainly won't be free either. No doubt will also try to deny he's merely a paid for talking head for a billionaire and his advertisers providing PR for the wealthy 1% of the Australian social system also screaming that our education system the ABC and real thinkers are anti- Aussie activists.
I for one indeed don't "value" Bolt he merely sets the standard of thinking for everything un-Australian in the meaning of "fair go" devaluing the very notion of data and research-based critical thinking that informs individuals who vote in our democracy. Since Murdoch adopted his business model to be the influencer for the 1% and not the 90 Australia has slid down the ladder of nations regarded as Democracies and has done so since 2013 heading in the direction of the USA which today is a seriously failed one.
I repeat Bolt was never "valued" he was, however, a useful tool that reflected the lack of logic in the conservative approach to just about everything establishing him as the very image of false consciousness, misrepresentation and the deluded self. I for one won't be subscribing to anything News Corp let alone Bolt. Warning no post on any day will ever be "free" and given the need for paywalls reflects merely the failure of News Corp and those like Bolt to attract advertisers wanting to share their space. Let's face it seems the LNP have looked at Bolt's track record in elections and feel he's past his use-by date if he was ever useful given how often he was wrong. If you want to continue to know what Bolt has to say listen to the ABC and flip it.

NEWSPOLL SNUFFS OUT LAST LIBERAL HOPES

The lack of bounce should shock the Liberals: "Labor has weathered a political storm over border protection... Newspoll... shows the two party preferred vote remaining unchanged with Labor leading the Coalition 53/47." 1. The boat scare isn't as potent with the boats long stopped. 2. The Liberals spent last week fighting claims of snouts in trough. 

3h

Oh what a night what a night it was the LNP and The Australian set out to reboot the LNP stocks with bullshit and Bolt cheered when the IPSOS poll showed 49/51 he didn't call it a push-Poll like he did GetUp's that declared 60% of voters actually supported the Medivac Bill that for Bolt was the push-Poll.

Here's Bolt telling us he warned us all along that the "boats" weren't as politically potent as they once were what a bullshit artist he is and is it any wonder advertisers don't want to share this space and PAYWALLS have now become his only justification for his blog, a crossover paperboy, is his lot in life.

Still buried here in the subtext is Bolt suggesting the leaky boats. If only Dutton can reveal the return of the boat and drowning child things could change, it just could be the best conservative strategy. Forget the could be it will be because they are legless have no dignity, and it's Abbott's way.

However, Bolt's now folded like a cheap suit collapsed like a deck of cards his blog, and BS that went with it about "free" speech revealed for what it is. Cheap advertising in the digital space paid for Murdoch's print media and Sky News after dark, and as far as Bolt is concerned, it's still all about him. I, I, I, I does that song ever stop?

"The Liberals' best chance to minimise the scale of the defeat has probably now gone. I suggested an immediate calling of an election. Instead, the Government limped on and got the horror week described above. It will be slow death now until the election."Bolt

Andrew Bolt to has become as welcome as a fart in a crowded elevator reduced to a poster blog a tawdry rusted signpost pointing elsewhere no longer a destination.

THE INJUSTICE OF SOCIAL JUSTICE: MONSTERING POOR VINCE

No, activists who demand “social justice” don’t want justice at all.

"I like Georgina Downer, but this is a mistake. The cheque for 127,373 to a local bowling club is not from her but from taxpayers. She is not even in Parliament. "Bolt

Bolt bashes women even if they are only appointed messengers. How paternally misogynistic of him he so wishes she was George. No doubt Cory Bernardi would have done a better job and not got the tongue lashing. Georgina Downer likes Murdoch and News Corp but thinks Bolt is a real prick.

Pope Francis

What the Pope didn’t say when he blamed the devil for child sex abuse

The Pope hasn't faced up to the facts about the crimes priests committed.

Andrew Bolt doesn't record them when focusing on Indigenous Australians. Crimes that have been hidden from sight for centuries in White Western Culture but very much an accepted and protected part of White Western Christian culture and a central core of it's highest institutions. That can't be said of Indigenous custom.

ON TONIGHT: THE POLITICS OF THE OSCARS, THE TRASH OF MAFS

On The Bolt Report on Sky at 7pm: the Oscars goes political again, but fails to mention the most anti-Trump actor of all - Jussie Smollett. Plus the trash of Married At First Sight: what does it say about it that 2 million people watch? And, of course, the polls and why the Liberals won't win a vote with their global warming scheme.

Bolt's English is less than impressive for someone who declares themselves to be a professional writer of excellence. He's atrocious. 
Bolt has focused on Smollet for his dislike of Trump he's black, gay, an actor, a member of the Arts and not John Wayne. Smollet who in the worst scenario if guilty did little more than playing a prank due to his dislike of Trump. Andrew Bolt has treated this as akin to an act of terrorism. If we go back to 12/10/16, we can find Bolt disparaging and revealing his dislike for the current President.
Andrew Bolt professional news opinionator entirely ignores the actions of White Supremecist Nationalist  Christian supporter of neo-Nazis and the KKK Christopher Paul Hasson. It's as if Hasson doesn't exist in Bolt's world or that he was armed to commit the mass murder of Democrats and journalists for Donald Trump. Smollet's transgression minor in comparison but Bolt ignores Hasson altogether.

ANTI-TRUMP MEDIA DESTROYS ITSELF THREE TIMES OVER

COLUMN  For two years America's media pushed an improbable story that Donald Trump conspired with Russia to steal the 2016 election. Now special investigator Robert Mueller is expected to say there was no proof of this conspiracy. After the Covington hoax and the Smollett hoax, the Trump-hating media's credibility will be destroyed.

"For two years it pushed an improbable story that Trump conspired with Russia to steal the 2016 election, using emails stolen from the Democrat campaign."
Andrew Bolt is little more than one of Rupert Murdoch's sock puppets. 1) The Muller Inquiry and Report was an investigation into Trump's activity to collude illegally in the 2016 election. 2)  It wasn't specific or only in reference to "emails stolen from the Democrat campaign.". Bolt it appears is trying to narrow the parameters of this enquiry before the report has even been released. Manaforte and Cohen seems to have no place in Muller's investigation. Bolt's opinion isn't his, it's a company response by a man who little over 2 years ago publicly believed and insisted Donald Trump was little more than a huckster. Now he histories greatest. Why is there so much frantic misdirection necessary?

  Banking royal commission: Regulators should be sacked, Abbott

From the man who can't keep his mouth shut, Abbott's advice is oppose everything my government once stood for

The Abbott government's 2014 budget set in motion $120 million of cuts to ASIC's funding over four years, leading to the loss of more than 200 staff. At the time, the government emphasised a greater role for self-regulation instead of government intervention.
Former ASIC chair Greg Medcraft was vocal in his criticism of the budget cuts and pushing for tougher penalties for misconduct.
In 2016, the Turnbull government restored the funding and boosted the regulator's investigative powers. The Age

 "How many Australians continued to be hit with 'fees for no service' in the two years the government continued to protect the banking industry from a royal commission?" Shorten 
How many would have not suffered the consequences of bad financial advice if Abbott hadn't come in and slashed and burnt ASIC, the ATO and other regulatory bodies that he insured were too understaffed to fulfil their appropriate tasks? Abbott's certainly is a yo-yo when it comes to principles.
The Trickle Down Effect so much supported by Tony Abbott and the not so exceptional case of unregulated Charity benefits
 And a charity given more than $2.5 million in government funds ahead of the 2015 centenary of the Anzac Day landing, gave no money to the veterans’ groups it claimed to support, while spending more than $1 million on television ads and marketing. Department of Veterans Affairs documents obtained by Fairfax show the department continued to finance the Camp Gallipoli Foundation after discovering the charity had attempted to funnel hundreds of thousands of dollars in management fees. A Fairfax investigation in 2016 found the Returned Services League and Legacy never received $900,000 in promised profits from Camp Gallipoli, leading to the charity’s deregistration later that year.

Hanson has openly declared all Muslims are unwanted and not just that don't see politics the way she does. Even in their own country, Hanson's the sheriff.
This war has gone on longer than WW2 and we are losing the battle as we lost Vietnam as we are losing in Syria and as we have been losing wars for the past 75 years. We were cannon fodder once for the Empire in WW1 65,000 were sent to die. We are however winning in Manus, Nauru and lest we forget we won the Frontier wars in colonial Australia. Should anyone Pauline identifies as unwanted in here land she has her gun and Andrew Bolt is definitely behind her.

Fogel’s statements could be used as evidence of intent if Israeli leaders are ever tried for war crimes at the International Criminal Court.

TURNBULL KIND OF ADMITS WRONG ON BANKS

Kelly O'Dwyer embarrassed herself yesterday in trying to avoid admitting the Government was wrong to block a royal commission into the banks for so long. In fairness, that admission was for someone  senior to make, and Malcolm Turnbull now has a go: "Politically it would have been better for us if we had done it years ago."  

27m7

In trying to defend the indefensible, she struggled to cut through with anything that was remotely beneficial to her party’s credibility. If anything, it highlighted what a nasty piece of work they are.
Everything she said, stood in stark contrast to her party’s persistent opposition to it, for so long. Meanwhile, revelations during last week’s hearings that customers were given poor financial advice, were charged fees for no service, that a dead person was charged ongoing fees, that the corporate watchdog was deliberately misled for years, makes us salivate over what might be revealed when things resume next week.
Client theft, more compromised financial advice, financially ruining peoples’ lives; who knows what other surprises are in store.
This government’s actions in cutting funding to a multitude of community services show us only too well, how concerned it is for the welfare of its constituents.

NEWSPOLL: SHORTEN SHOULD BE NERVOUS

Presuming this isn't a rogue result, today's Newspoll gives the Turnbull Government a flicker of hope, now trailing Labor by just 49 per cent to 51. The Budget in two weeks time should help, if for no other reason than focusing media attention into what's it's doing than on how it's stumbling.

45m28

Bolt's gobsmacked 2pts the difference in the polls when 4pts is often seen as normal for governments to fall behind. Shorten shouldn't be nervous maybe Andrew Bolt should. His job was to ensure the government remained behind in the polls in fact if News Corp could move Islamophobia from 9% to 30%  with their thousands of negative articles on Islam how is it they haven't been able to do the same with their thousands of articles mocking Turnbull and boosting Abbott? Bolt seems to have been a total  failure in the art of fake negative spin and PR.
 Why should Shorten be nervous? Andrew Bolt and News Corp have had the wind knocked out of their sails nobody seems to be listening to them. Abbott might have to wait around for 6 years after the next election. Heaven help us News Corp will still be boosting him and the prospects of ongoing failure seems stronger than ever.

RUDD EYES OFF SUMMIT FAILURE

Column Kevin Rudd  has sent another article denouncing me for mocking his 2020 Summit of our “best and brightest” 10 years ago last Thursday. But the former prime minister is right.

Well you know when Bolt is lost for words he writes about the irrelevant past and he tries to remind us just how much he is the centre of things such as Rudd's attention. Having told us that for the past 2 weeks he's proved he's paranoid but not relevant. Bolt has bagged out Lindsay Fox as a fool, in fact, he's bagged out 1000 reputable Australians and called them fools.
 Bolt uses repetition like water torture hoping it will erode disbelief if done over and over. However, it's a lazy man's work shows he's certainly no value for dollar to News Corp.
 In truth, he's been killing time and magpies over the weekend training them out of what they do naturally with some behaviourist Andrew Bolt conversion therapy. He has at least 2 birds eating out of his hand and slowly killing them and eventually their fledglings.

 

 

CREATING JOBS FOR IMMIGRANTS

How can the Turnbull Government start last year with 726,000 unemployed Australians, then “create” a record 403,000 jobs yet still end the year with almost as many unemployed people as before — 720,000 in all? In fact, the latest stats show we've got more people on the dole than we did at the start.

One might think Bolt's gone all Bolshie on the government calling them a pack of liars. Demanding the nationalization of coal fired generators. All it proves he has no principles and he's not even fighting for a side but to destroy one. Apparently, the Immigrants have stolen the jobs from Aussies or Immigrants have created actually created the jobs and been a boost to our economy the $5 billion boost
Bolt calls bullshit. Bolt talks about the "feeling " of overcrowdedness the feeling of 2 cities Sydney and Melbourne. However, he doesn't talk about the feeling of buoyancy on every main street of every suburb. The businesses that have sprung up and are run by migrants and those they employ.  He tries to convince us that the 270,000 that arrived last year and as if all are on welfare an expense to the nation when less than 10% are assisted, refugees and those, not single mothers do eventually get jobs.
 He and Dutton call for like-minded countries (those with right-wing governments) to take up Austria's hipster Nazi Party's idea redefining the International agreed definition of what it means to be a refugee. They agree that White South African Farmers are in desperate need, with their lives at risk in a hostile nation. Tony Abbott told us 400 white farmers were killed last year alone. When that was found to be bullshit the Conservatives shut up without correction. The tactic being, get the idea out first let others spend their time clawing the truth back. Bolt and 2GB will assist.
 Dutton has been worming his way out of the fact that he like James Molan grabbed their factless ideas from the media like News Corp. If it was in the Daily Telegraph it must be true without any need for fact-checking what's really going on. Molan jumped on Britain First's bandwagon and now even the UK Conservatives have had them jailed in the UK for hate -speech and lies.  Dutton has turned unwittingly to the ideas of the Austrian Hope, not Hate Party otherwise known as Nazism for Hipsters forcing White South African Farmers to become their cause celebre. That's Boomgate Dutton for you. Bolt on occasion touts him as a worthy PM

Andrew Bolt's Blog, 9/4/18; Andrew Bolt seems so diappointed he still hasn't a dog in the race;

PICKING THE WRONG REFUGEES

Adam Creighton on our dysfunctional refugee program: "Croatian refugees had an unemployment rate of 4 percent, [but] the unemployment rates for Afghan, Iraqi and Sudanese refugees ranged between 19 and 22 percent... After 10 years in ­Australia, more than a third of refugees still can’t speak English." There's more.

'Picking refugees' is an oxymoron and typical of the authors at the Australian. Picking refugees, not by their need but our's and our's being so selective and racist that who Bolt prefers aren't really refugees at all. Picking asylum seekers is another contradiction and if they come by boat Bolt favours the Israeli IDF approach just shoot them if they seem to be approaching our borders. If they come by plane do as the neo-nazis want to vet them before they arrive. Like Austria, Australia should look around the world falsify the urgency of people declare them refugees and recruit and induce them to come such as the  White South African Farmers Call them refugees even if they don't declare themselves to be. Even pay them to come to make us appear to be fulfilling our obligations. Whether they want to or not it's for our political appearance sake. 
Dutton got his ideas from News Corp who simply took them from the Austrian extreme right-wing group called by many Austria's Hipster Nazi Party. Isn't it strange how Peter Dutton and then Tony Abbott jumped on their bandwagon and that they are drawn to these groups like Britain First? Abbott actually made up facts and figures that were outright BS false facts. He publicly declared 400 white farmers were murdered in 2017 which simply didn't happen 
However here is the man behind their ideas now the man they don't mention by name because of his global reputation so I won't either. Nevertheless, they have invited him to Australia and he's not even a farmer let alone South African nor in need of refugee status but the Conservatives have stolen his ideas and Bolt is pushing them. 
 The American Weekly Standard magazine has dubbed it “Nazism for hipsters”. Hit the link below and read about him. That man behind Dutton's, Abbott's and Bolt's thought bubble.

MALCOLM TURNBULL REACHES 30

The day he never imagined has arrived: "Malcolm Turnbull has reached the leadership benchmark he used to unseat Tony Abbott with the loss of the 30 consecutive Newspolls despite the Coalition clawing back ground against Labor." The Coalition is 48-52 behind Labor after preferences.

 Bolt has been waiting for such a long time;
 He has finally spilt his seed,
 It's  a PAYWALL


 “The headline has become the fact and that it’s not changing,"  News  Corp controls the headline.  Government by media has become commonplace staid and do nothing thanks to the assistance of commentators like Andrew Bolt. Whose job is the PAYWALL us to News Corp. Newspoll their tool. If it were the stock exchange there'd be a valid case to call this insider trading  and the manipulation of our democratic rights
John Stirton Polling expert: added 
“If the Newspoll is saying, again and again, you’re failing rather than that there’s light at the end of the tunnel, it becomes self-fulfilling ... The party says things still aren't working.
“That makes Turnbull’s job much more difficult. He won’t get any credit for having a good week."
When polls were better, a leader felt more able to take risks, he said.
“The lesson is to forget about the polls and get on with it. Which is absolutely what the electorate would like to see.”
Mr Stirton said a broad interpretation of all polls indicated voters would like “to have Turnbull but not his party and would like to have Labor but not its leader”.
Mr Stirton said the right wing of the Liberal Party - and in particular, the division being created by its open tussles with Mr Turnbull - were turning people off the party as a whole. Stirton polling expert  Changes to Newspoll might make it hard for Turnbull to break out, pollster says

TURNBULL WILL KEEP LOSING, AND KEEP JOB

Column     Malcolm Turnbull will stay prime minister for a while yet, no matter how many more polls he loses. The Liberals are so bitterly divided they’d rather die under Turnbull than agree to a replacement who is more likely to save them. So forget 30 losing Newspolls. He'll smash the record.

 Andrew Bolt says"The Liberals are so bitterly divided they’d rather die under Turnbull than agree to a replacement who is more likely to save them." However, he doesn't dare say who that might be.That they the conservatives and only they are determined to wreck the LNP in much the same way ISIS is intent on destroying real Islam they too are intent on trashing the Liberal Party 

They are the children intent on destruction if they aren't allowed to win. 

  Bolt still tries to convince us the Liberal Party is really a Conservative Party. It's not what the people want it's what they need. Never mind that the polls show 75% of those who vote Liberal want Turnbull and 62% of all the voting public want him. If that's the case it goes to show just how much of a minority Andrew Bolt speaks for and how much like ISIS media he is. If it's the case and ISIS is a cancer that that Bolt says represents Islam it follows the Conservatives are a cancer that represents the Liberal Party

WALEED THE GREEN CHEERS FOR TURNBULL

Column Waleed Aly has shown why polls cannot be trusted when they ask who’d you rather have as Liberal leader. He also showed the Left’s fear of Tony Abbott. Aly, co-host of Channel 10’s The Project,  on Thursday’s show backed the Greens' maddest idea yet. Then he urged a vote for Malcolm Turnbull.

1h

Andrew Bolt obsessed with Waleed Ali largely because Waleed Ali doesn't give a rats about him. So obsessed that he even lies about what Ali did or didn't say on the Project. I'll give Andrew Bolt the benefit of the doubt and simply say he doesn't understand the Queen's English. Does the man he has pictured here look fearful?  The lie"But on Thursday he really exposed himself, backing the Greens’ insane plan for a “universal wage” of more than $20,000 for everyone, even if they were rich or work-shy bludgers."Bolt. What Ali said was that given the fact that predictions have suggested that automated technology might result in 40% unemployment the idea of a universal wage might be an idea worth further consideration. which isn't support. However, Bolt's tone sounds far more freaked than the grinner pictured above.

 

WHO RAISED THEM?

Another: "An ailing woman and her autistic teenage son have been subjected to a year of terrifying home invasions, the latest at the weekend... Ms Dean barricaded herself inside a room as the teens stormed in... Ms Dean said Saturday’s invasion was the fifth break-in in 12 months." The footage tells the story.

 PAYWALL

Fearful Bolt throwing dead herrings in your path. No comment because it would be too obvious that he's trying to call 10 kids guilty " by association" which could bring "vilification " complaints against him. No other reason other than he knows that's what he'd prefer to do.

No mention about the falling out of 13-19-year-olds over dope deals he can't say that but the ABC and other media can.

ABBOTT PEDALS TO HAZELWOOD

Tony Abbott pedals to Hazelwood on his pollie pedal for charity. He notes the huge increase in wholesale power prices after this coal-fired power station was shut.

Abbott takes clean power to the grave of coal power. He talks the economics of power but fails to mention what it is the 'free market' wants. In their frustration, these 'free market' crusaders are calling for a socialist solution to provide them what they want. They want to invest your money Australia into a horse and buggy technology and in the same breathe to try to sell you on the idea that it's clean. Clean to mine and clean to burn as clean as the bikes they're riding.

THE REAL F...ING MALCOLM

Great profile of Malcolm Turnbull and his staff by Andrew Clennell. The rudeness and lack of focus remind me of the narcissist Kevin Rudd.

PAYWALL 
News Corp gaining up on Turnbull In Andrew Bolt's own words WHO RAISED THEM? They certainly aren't journalist's but they certainly are poor losers showing little more than sour grapes.  Hardly the sign of men with ideas to offer. "Clennell notes the indecisiveness and the lack of firepower in Turnbull's staff."Bolt
There seems to be an 'open door' at Turnbull's PMO there certainly wasn't one at Abbott's. Remember how Bolt kept saying they needed a change of staff a Tony whose name is forgotten to come in and save them from the disaster Credlin had created. Tony Tony who?  He never came and was simply the forgotten man who left the Party because he didn't want to be a loser

WILL THE ABC THEN PROMOTE NUCLEAR?

The ABC flogs its green agenda: "UK Conservatives are embracing a future without coal-fired power stations." Chris Uhlmann points out the catch - Britain's other power sources: "42% gas, 21% uranium, 9% coal (so 72% base load sorted) 24.5% renewable and interconnectors to 3 countries (Like France 72% nuclear). " ABC happy to copy that?

17m
Touted by who? Uhlmann certainly doesn't mention who and neither does Andrew Bolt which immediately makes it suspicious. However, he makes a wish about the ABC. But then Bolt makes a lot of unsuccessful wishes, doesn't he. Like he wishes he could command the Trust the ABC commands. The ratings the Insiders get and the prestige that goes with it.
However, the Conservatives of the UK are certainly laughing at the Monarchist Tony Abbott as is Prince Charles and his mother it would seem. 

TRUMP HATE: BLAME HIM EVEN FOR GASSED CHILDREN

Is this peak Trump hatred? Syrian dictator Assad, backed by Vladimir Putin and Iran, kills children in a chemical gas attack. And the Washington Post rushes out a piece blaming .... Donald Trump: "The latest chemical attack in Syria reveals the bankruptcy of Trump’s policies toward Assad."  

1h9
 Yes of course America is a "regime". It is Trump's quid pro quo relationship with the Saudi's and  Israeli's which is more quid than quo on the American side after all Trump supports Israel in everything even mass murder just as he does the Saudis and what they are currently doing in the Yemen "  Note the words "Trump regime", as if it were a regime like Iran's fascist Islamic one or Syria's dictator." Bolt 
 America is increasingly like a fascist regime and Trump is its dictatorial President. America afterall has a Special Ops Forces  present in 149 countries and Bolt says the US aren't ball breakers who when they say jump expect others to say how high? Brutal well, Trump was personally heard to ask a drone operator why he didn't destroy a suspect's house? The operator said because he had a family and children. Bolt asked why was that stopping him from blowing the place to bits?
It's clear Bolt works for News Corp which currently is running point guard for anything Trump does and protects him from all his mistakes. Currently his policies even appear to be run by Fox News who currently support an American dictatorship.
It's one that has assisted terrorists in Syria with the silent help of Israel. While Bolt promised to transfer the US embassy to Jerusalem Israel serves them in the Middle East. Yes its a quid pro quo relationship. We were notified of  Israel's alliance with terrorists  by Shari Markson who saw it up close and personal but who shut up when threatened by Mossad, the IDF and News Corp. She didn't write about what it was she saw.  Dictators have no ethics they keep their activities hidden from public view and don't trust anyone and Trump fits that picture perfectly. The problem is he's not good at it.
