    Daily Mail: ‘Albo is threatened by Tanya’: Politician EXPLODES on live TV

    Labor shadow minister Bill Shorten has had a fiery exchange with a reporter on morning television after it was claimed Anthony Albanese is ‘threatened’ by one of his frontbenchers.

    The ex-Labor leader said reports Tanya Plibersek had been sidelined by Mr Albanese because she might steal his limelight were a ‘storm in a teacup’.

    Ms Plibersek has been conspicuously absent from appearances alongside Mr Albanese and has had only one official transcript released to the media in the election campaign.

    ‘Sorry, Albo is threatened by Tanya. It is very, very clear,’ Today Show reporter Chris O’Keefe pressed.

    The UAP are probably using targeted advertising on YouTube so I don’t know if this ad below is seen outside of Western Australia. It concerns the construction of a jet airport by the Chinese in the Pilbara, why did the Chinese build this military capable airport in the middle of nowhere?

    I have seen other reports of strange things happening on other Chinese held land in north-west Western Australia, a Chinese controlled farm for example was clearing land for a “roadway” which was about six lanes wide, another airport being constructed?

    CEOs Now Fear Caving to Woke Employees After Florida Pushes Back Against Disney

    The days when woke employees could easily pressure their CEOs into taking left-wing political positions appear to be ending as top business leaders are reportedly seeking to avoid a PR disaster like the one Disney brought on itself in Florida.

    The war between the Walt Disney Co. and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has alarmed leaders across corporate America and brought about a new round of corporate soul-searching, according to executives and their advisers who spoke to the Wall Street Journal.

    NSW voters: Do not give your Senate vote to this fake Conservative.

    1/
    2019 election, he did not like his placement on the Senate ticket, though he deserved to be in an unwinnable position. So, he urged everyone (and was aided by Conservative media) to discard the LNP how-to-vote card, and vote for him below the line.

    This tactic confused many voters as it caused a problem working out LNP volunteers vs his rebel volunteers. This got him 137,000 votes. Shows how easy it is to dupe Conservatives.

    He did not win. But when the expected Arthur Sinodinos vacancy came up in the Senate, there was so much pressure put on to give him the seat, instead of someone like Warren Mundine who had worked hard and contested an unwinnable Gilmore seat for the LNP.

    2/
    This election, the number 3 spot should have gone to Conservative Concetta Fierravanti-Wells, not this guy.

    But there he is at No.3. Now, 2022, he is all in support of the LNP how-to-vote card.

    Dear Fatty Gates

    It cannot be denied that breakthrough infections with more infectious variants, including Omicron, have occurred as a result of vaccine-induced population-level immune pressure on spike protein (S)-specific neutralizing epitopes. the evolution of SC-2 towards more virulent circulating variants directly results from the combination of its resistance to potentially neutralizing vaccinal Abs and the high level of infectiousness it achieves in highly vaccinated populations. It is, therefore, paramount that we stop mass vaccination and immediately reduce the infection rate in the population.

    The interview is very good for many reasons. Clive’s physical appearance, the manner of speaking and the content, and the interviewer’s way of questioning, as well.

    Clive has not taken up the pro-Ukraine/Zelensky, anti-Russia/Putin stand. So I am puzzled by what caused the rift with Simeon Boikov. It isn’t as if they had polar opposite views.

    Had enough of election ads? Just one last one.

    As mentioned before, the Aussie Cossack is turning himself into a joke. That is a Labor ad against the LNP, and he thinks it is an absolute masterpiece.

    Next, he will be saying that Albo is a genius, and the Prime Minister that Australia has to have.

    Instead of using his voice to promote good candidates, he has turned his channel with 155K subscribers into comedy-land. He is out of touch with how critical this election is.

    More!

    As usual, the devil is in the detail and the detail is often about getting down to the nitty-gritty of the evolutionary dynamics of the interplay between the virus and the host immune system. As this interplay has been profoundly disturbed by thoughtless human intervention, it seems completely counterintuitive that the relatively low hospitalization and mortality rates are the consequence of herd immunity. As already mentioned above, infection rates in highly vaccinated countries are still high (and likely largely underestimated due to the overwhelming mildness of Omicron disease in vaccinees and in most of the non-vaccinated age groups) and thus, there is currently no sign of herd immunity.

    TV is an alien concept for me so I have no idea about the ads there. This ad is from 2019, but it is good quality advertising that is talking about real issues not the childish he said-she said, used by some of the parties.

  37. The thought of getting bitten by the Amblyomma americanum – the lone star tick is worrying. It makes you allergic to meat. Gee, I reckon the WEF and Gates love the critter. Thankfully it is not in OZ, yet. I would not discount the idea of it magically showing up here.

    Sogavare fires!

    Mr Sogavare also appeared to mock Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce, who referred to Solomon Islands as a “little Cuba” after news of the draft security treaty broke.

    That seemed to be a reference to the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, when the United States put up a naval blockade to prevent the Soviet Union from building nuclear missile silos in Cuba, close to US shores.

    Mr Sogavare said the USSR was “not the aggressor” during the 1962 crisis and drew a comparison to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine earlier this year.

    “There [are] two sides to every situation we see happening in the world today, including the Ukraine crisis, where the Western world is trying to get every nation to condemn,” he said.

    “There [are] two sides to every story.”

    >Exactly how the outlet obtained such sensitive material remains to be seen (if such information will ever be known), but based on the current makeup of the Supreme Court and how decisions get handed down, the leak likely came from either one of the nine justices or one of the four clerks working under each of them – 45 people in total.

    Sadly the son is not very bright and not at all a people person. Wouldn’t know or understand. Thinks a good night in is watching First Dates or MAFS. Mother very loving but has moved onto the next dysfunctional male hence more time with grandma. He’s a very nice little grandson but it was me and grandma who taught him to swim, surf and do all the little boy things because dad was, for want of a better phrase, too effing dumb and mum was too protective and saw danger in everything. It is, of course, the whole class getting brainwashed.
    Clive Palmer is a serious businessman and clever chap. It’s the media who paint him as all things bad.
