    Ron copping some flak, and a little unfairly imho.
    From prior post link:

    There are dinners and then there are dinners. This dinner was completely unacceptable — was the meal even Kosher?!

    If Trump wants to be president, he needs to learn that all of his dinner guests must first be run by the RJC, ADL and David Friedman. If and only if they give permission should he be allowed to dine with them.

    Ron DeSantis would never even think of having dinner with anyone the RJC, ADL and David Friedman don’t approve of — that’s what makes him presidential material!

    This is a fantastic 38 minute interview with Colonel Douglas Macgregor. He is speaking with a Polish interviewer/network.

    Thanks – made my day.

    I believe the Colonel would be a great addition to Trump’s 2024 Campaign team.

    The Colonel could drive home the philosophy of America First to the US public as a foreign policy.

    Trump has to go beyond slogans this time. That’s too 2016.

    This is the first eruption of Mauna Loa since 1984 . Currently the lava is filling the caldera surface.

    Links above go directly to the USGS webcams for the location, current view is from the NW rim looking SE across the caldera.

    Clearly the caldera has split open, with a large fissure of lava and fountains going on for about a MILE across the center of the top of the volcano. This is a quote “big deal” indeed.

    There is no way for me to know which way the lava is going to flow currently (except to know it will follow a path of least resistance, and gravity downwards whichever way is easiest for it to flow.

    Our only hope is that the lava stays inside the caldera and does not flow out.. and just fills the crater with a new layer of lava. That’s the hope, but it doesn’t look like hope is on the menu right now in regards to this eruption stopping suddenly.

    The whole center of the caldera has ripped open currently.

    Col. Macgregor was Trump’s appointee to the US Ambassador to Germany role, which Congress didn’t act on. Macgregor is passionately opposed to Biden’s open border policies which has resulted in terrible death rates from fentanyl use.

    Quadrant Online

    Hopeless Beyond Words or Measure

    Here, in Matthew Guy, was a man of such negligible principle that he cut and ran from candidates at the slightest criticism, even when levelled by the likes of ABC and Age editorialists — the sort of people, in other words, who will never vote for a conservative, not even a faux conservative, not in a pink fit.

    So there I stood at democracy’s cardboard booth, pencil poised above the name of the Liberal candidate for the seat of Williamstown, where the most recent redistribution has re-assigned me, but yet unable to press the pencil and inscribe the how-to-vote’s requested ‘1’.

    Jacinta Price accuses Linda Burney of telling remote communities ‘what’s good for them

    Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price has declared it is “not racist to disagree” with the Voice to Parliament as she blasts Indigenous Affairs Minister Linda Burney for “dripping with Gucci” during her tours to remote communities.

    The Country Liberal Party Senator, who sits with the National Party, made the remarks on Monday as the Nationals confirmed they would oppose the proposal after consulting with communities in a “genuine way”.

    When a company (business) decides it would like to promote its products via advertising, it approaches one or more agencies that specialise in the “selling” business. The company explains to the advertising agency the product and requirements. The ad agency then produces some drafts in the form of concepts. The company selects one or more of these concepts and the ad agency then goes on to create the marketing advertising.

    The next stage is that this is presented to the company and they may ask for changes. And so it goes on, back and forth, tweaking and revising, till this company is satisfied with the final result. Since the company is the client, the ad agency can make suggestions and offer ideas, but the client has the final say.

    And thus before the ad/marketing campaign goes public, it has to be signed off by the marketing head of the company. Of course, this marketing head may need to get approval from higher ups because they have to authorise payments, especially in big budget advertising campaigns.

    So it is rather strange that having approved the ad – and the ad agency would have the documents to prove it – Balenciaga has now decided to pass the backlash buck to the producers of the ad.

    Balenciaga files $25M suit over controversial ad amid ‘BDSM teddy bear’ backlash

    Balenciaga has filed a $25 million lawsuit against the producers of a controversial ad campaign that included a child pornography court ruling – amid backlash over the luxury brand’s BDSM teddy bears ads, new court papers show.

    The fashion house brought the suit Friday against production company North Six, Inc. and set designer Nicholas Des Jardins and his eponymous company for the inclusion in one of the ads of legal documents from a US Supreme Court decision on child porn laws.

    Lotta Volkova: The Devil Styles Balenciaga

    It’s about Lotta Volkova, Balenciaga’s senior stylist, once declared by W magazine “the coolest stylist in the industry.” The fashion house tried to blame the photographers for the child sex controversy, but it seems clear that the real fault is with Volkova, who has been working closely with the head of Balenciaga since his days as the founder of the Vetements brand:

    Last week I spoke against Labor’s Bill that is giving rich people up to $30,000 off the cost of an electric vehicle.

    The Labor party has no plan to recycle EV batteries nor do they even know what the cost of this Bill is.

    Not that they care. This is all about looking after their wealthy mates while hard working Australians pick up the tab.

    We are living at a time when there is so much happening in the world. Add to that, the constant availability of information and the speed at which it is all moving.

    On this blog, those of us who post here are reading other info sites are coming across whatever is the latest on the internet. We share it here. It doesn’t mean that everything we post here is the truth; fact-checked and verified. That is not possible.

    What matters is our seeking of the truth and the facts. Sometimes, it may seem that x+y = z. However, as more information is available, we realize that we were only partly right or even wrong. It may be that x+y = z-4. Or x+y = jkl.

    Was Tim Pool and his co-hosts really interested in listening to Kanye? Did Kanye want to listen to Tim? Or did each side have their beliefs and expect the other to listen and accept that?

    Sins of Information Warfare

    For what its worth, I hold “our side” to higher standards than I have come to expect from corporate (broadcast and published) media…. It is not a win if we become one with the ethics of our opponents.

    This is not just an information war, it is a battle over what is right and good versus what is fundamentally evil. Our opponents clearly believe that the ends justify the means, and that ethics – right and wrong- are completely situational…..

    I think Tim Pool is interested in listening to himself.

    I think the interview was destined to end badly.

    Apparently the recent Milo interview was good though. I think I’ll go find it.

    However the cops had sufficient information from the paper work to issue an infringement notice for driving an unregistered vehicle & other charges, which they gave to him (& which he accepted ~13:03). We need to see how he dealt with this & the subsequent pursuit of fine payment.
