Random Notes - Idle ThoughtsBehold SA and Be Scared, Very Scared — Quadrant
The Renewal Energy Target (RET) scheme is a splendid example of a policy cancer that, if not checked, will continue to inflict substantial economic damage. The green vision of the perfect, Gaia-friendly electricity-distribution system was introduced during the Howard government with the modest target of a mere 2% contribution from renewables. Since then the target has grown tenfold at the federal level while the states have gone much further, with the talk now of seeing renewables contribute as much as 50% by 2030. The consequences have been dire.
The Second Civil War Is Coming — American Thinker
They will jam the airports and block the highways and other choke points of our infrastructure, with as many protesters as Soros’s money can buy. And he can afford hundreds of thousands of them. Why? Why is the left not satisfied to peacefully oppose us? Why have leftists declared all-out political war? It is because they must. The social left has suddenly and unexpectedly found itself at death’s door, the door of permanent and irreversible loss of political power.
RSL pokie punters rewarded for gambling up to $300,000 a year — Sydney Morning Herald
Anyone in suburbia dropping $300,000 a year into pokies in a suburban RSL has a serious problem and the RSL is an enabler, straight up. They are running a racket and are no better than a prostitutes pimp hiding behind the cloak of respectability afforded by the words, Returned Soldiers League.
The Fountainhead of Trump’s Philosophy — Quadrant
The global Left rants, raves, riots and wears pink hats in its ongoing refusal to accept that Hillary Clinton isn’t president. No doubt they revel in the perverse pleasure of putting their anger and impotence on display, but they would learn more of their enemy by reading Ayn Rand. The satisfaction drawn from the fury of their protests is the palliative of the uncomprehending. What we see, operating at a physiological or gut level, is a Pavlovian mass reflex

Random Note #207,657 — Alternative Energy, Alternative Facts And Michael Mann
Mann would know about fake news and falsehoods wouldn’t he because after all this is the same Michael Mann, the same IPCC poster boy that created the ultimate in falsehood and fake news with his fraudulent, 1998, Co2 emissions Hockey Stick graph

Random Note #203,741 — Liberal Leadership — Time to go all out Clock Work Orange
What’s required is a politician who combines the qualities and characteristics of a battle scarred back alley street fighter, and a mangy, mongrel attack dog with a record of dragging the party over the line and winning in a landslide.

Random Note #254,761 — Cory Bernardi and the double standards of the Liberal Party
The hypocrisy and double standards of the Liberals sucks the oxygen out of the room. At the 2013 election the people voted in a 25 seat landslide for the party led by Tony Abbott but then in September 2015 without reference to the electorate unceremoniously dumped Abbott for Turnbull, betraying the people’s choice of 2 years earlier.

Random Note #178,942 — Trump’s Ban And The Media Spin
The media also overlook the crucial point that 6 of the 7 are essentially corrupt, chaotic, ungovernable and essentially failed states except in the promotion, marketing and export of terror and as such are either incapable of, or simply won’t rigorously vet their citizens at their departure points leaving it to the US with no choice but to apply the ban until “they can figure out what the hell is going on”.

Random Note #256,942 — The Phony Refugee Advocates With Their Own Agenda
I find it interesting but not surprising that they would fire up this last ditch, desperation attempt and campaign, right at the time Trump has said he would (begrudgingly) honour Obama’s “dumb deal”.
One would imagine if the activist rabble were genuinely interested in their welfare they would be delighted that a solution had been found in another first world county. But no, they’re not delighted at all because THIS solution is not THEIR solution as it totally derails and sidelines their relevance and their chaotic, open borders, let it rip agenda.
