The AUKUS deal to which we are now signatories will have many impacts on us, amongst them will be real estate valuations for properties in Perth’s southern suburbs.
The Garden Island naval base, HMAS Stirling, will be expanded to accommodate US and UK submarines, which makes it a valid target should the United States proceed with plans for a war with China in 2025, or 2027 as other military planners say. If the US Navy uses its submarine fleet to prevent Chinese shipping in the Indian Ocean, for example to stop oil shipments from Saudi Arabia to China, then it’s good-bye to Garden Island and a large part of Perth’s southern coastal suburbs.
If China was to launch a Dong-Feng-5 (5 megaton) ICBM which struck Garden Island, the damage radius would destroy most of Perth’s southern suburbs and even extend to Perth city, parts of the northern beaches and as far south as Mandurah.
This is not a good time to invest in real estate in Perth’s southern suburbs. Check the interactive NUKEMAP before purchasing investments in Perth, use Garden Island Western Australia as the target and the current Chinese intercontinental ballistic missile, the Dong-Feng-5.

It looks as if some sections of the GOP are trying very, very hard to lose the 2024 election.
I have posted my views on some of the candidates. So far, I cannot see anyone who deserves to be the GOP nominee or is the front-runner to be the next President of the US.
The Trump supporters believe that their man is the best and no one should dare compete against him. Their man feels entitled to a unanimous nomination without any debates and believes that the position of GOP candidate for 2024 should be his. There are calls from the Trump camp for the other main contender, DeSantis, and anyone else to run in 2028.
News flash: If the GOP don’t win the White House in 2024, it is gone forever. That is why it is important for all those who do have the necessary skills and qualities to sign up to the primaries and let the conservatives decide who is the best one to beat the Dems. No one is perfect – but who has the real conservative values (preaching and practising) to fairly represent the Republican party and its voters? Who has the best chance of winning?
Posting my rants and analysis takes up too much of time but for those who seriously want to read, understand and get a better picture of the facts rather than just follow what the Forever Trumpers think is the sure-winning formula, I am going to post some links.

Bud Light boycott
This boycott was set in motion and fuelled by a group of real conservatives led by Matt Walsh.
What was the result of the boycott?
– Bud Light sales continue to plummet after transgender marketing controversy
– Example: No one is buying Bud Light at the Red Sox game in Boston
– Anheuser-Busch CEO
FINALLY disavows Dylan Mulvaney Bud Light partnership and says ‘it was not a campaign’ after firm sent letter to retailers blaming an outside ad agency for approving it ‘without management awareness’ as sales crash 26%
Report comment
Who was Matt Walsh referring to in his comment:
Many prominent Republicans were actively against the boycott.
– Guess which GOP “conservative” team was against the boycott because that company donates to Republicans?
– Guess which team has been labelling other conservatives and republicans RINOs because of their donors?
– Guess which GOP team is saying that fighting the culture wars is not critical?
The answer is here and here.

Tan Grant drives a viewer exodus from #TheirABC’s coverage of the coronation… Be interesting to see the ratings.

Well I loved it, the pageantry, the blokes in costume, the music, Charles looking like a warmed up corpse. I was interested in the amount of the time (100% of it) the Anglican church made sure Charles knew who was boss. There was I thinking of Henry VIII. Also it was good to see the muz stand up for Isa (Jesus) as the son of God.
But multicultural my foot, where was the Mariachi band?
Report comment
It is well within living memory that the ABC’s attitude to any Royal event or person was practically reverential. While this may have gone a bit far, it was nowhere near as nauseating and unabashedly biased as the fiasco in the coverage of the coronation.
The letters page of The Australian today was dotted with missives than began ‘I am usually a loyal ABC viewer, but …’ and concluding with ‘so I switched to another channel.’
When even the rusted-ons are disgusted, it shows just how out of touch the current management is.
And yes, the ratings, and those of the other channels, will be interesting.

This blog was cloned from Sinc’s blog and it inherited an About section where he said:
I don’t pay for posts – the Cat is a labour of love.
When Sinc announced the closure of his blog – unknown to most of us – another Cat was busy working on a solution for another Catallaxy blog, so that we could continue to have a free speech site. That was Adam – the owner of this blog. He paid to get this blog up and running, at short notice. And he continues to pay to keep this show on the road. He hasn’t asked us to Donate for its upkeep. We also do not have ads promoted here to pay for costs.
I guess it could be called a labour of love ….. to support a free, free speech site for others to use.
He did it even though (as he explained on the blog) he was very busy with family and business commitments. (The fact that he later faced brickbats for prioritising the needs of his family during Covid, over moderating the blog, is another story.)
Those of us who come here and post as regulars – comments as well as write Posts – don’t get paid a cent for it. That is true in my case, and I’m sure it is the same with others here.
I guess it could be called a labour of love ….. for sharing information and opinions that we have and also learning from each other.
Being a blog contributor – Comments and Posts – is time-consuming and most of us are busy people.
Why do we do it?
Speaking for myself: I am an information consumer – an infoholic. I want to learn, and I am searching for facts on the news in the media. A truth-seeker. Because I learn from others who make the time to share on other blogs and sites, I think that I should not keep what I have learnt to myself but should pass it on so that others may benefit from what I know. This includes the serious stuff as well as the entertainment and funnies. That I why I spend time here as often as I am able to, posting as much as I can. I share news, info, opinions, rants and other bits and pieces.
(Contd. …..next comment)
Report comment
(Contd. from above)
But the learning process needs to be a two-way street. It is just a few (I can count on the fingers of one hand and still have some to spare) who are making the huge effort to keep it going by posting a great many comments, on a regular basis. If there were more regular posters, it wouldn’t fall to the few to keep the site active by posting 5 – 6 – 7 or more continuous comments.
There are many blogs out there to join and take part, but for me this blog is unique. It has no frills, it is simple. It also lacks the pettiness, rancour, abuse and name-calling that can require scrolling and make it difficult to read the good comments. It is focussed on the enemy out there not some in-fighting in here. I thought that there would be, maybe, 8 or 10 or 12 similar-minded free speech believers who understand the crisis taking place in this country and the world and would want to regularly participate in a quiet, d**khead-free blog.
What I am saying here, I have said several times in my other rants. I have been making an extra effort to come and post even though I am very busy because I don’t want this blog to shut down. But just a very few of us having to carry it does not make a great deal of sense. Maybe the total blog traffic is just 3 or 4 of us. Maybe we are just talking to each other. It can’t be possible that there must be others who are silent here because they live in a vacuum and do not watch television, listen to the radio, read newspapers or the internet, so don’t know what is in the news to comment on. They have no life experiences to share. No opinions of what is happening in the country/world. No reactions to what others are posting here. Not even a single sentence.
Is it apathy, disinterest, indifference, she’ll be right – mate, don’t care, or someone else can do it – not me?
The hate speech bill is currently being passed in Ireland despite public protests. The politicians know better than the mere plebs what is best for them. Think it won’t happen here? It will mean that some blogs and sites will have to shut down – that is if they don’t first get penalised and closed by our overlords.
We will only understand the value of a free, free speech site when we no longer have it.
So the very, very few dedicated regular contributors who come here, despite our busy lives and keep the blog running have to ask ourselves:
Is this labour of love worth it?

Dr. John Campbell is back on YouTube and he asks about the excess deaths in the UK and other highly vaxxed countries. He pointed out that one week in April there were 2,500 excess deaths in that one week and yet there is not the slightest bit of interest shown by the media.
Excess deaths in UK rise – 15 minutes.

The new NSW government cut off the money for decent water supplies to towns like Nyngan:
As soon as the drought ended in various places, water security projects were put on the backburner, or just cancelled.
Apparently, there would never be another drought, according to the seers in government. Or, more likely, the issue was off the front pages, so let’s disappear it.

I don’t know what the Nyngan water quality is like, but it’s bloody awful in Cobar. I stayed overnight there once and the water smelled like liquid sulphur, when you emerge from the shower you feel sticky, sulphur mixed with glue.
