ISIS Exposes the True Reason Why It Hates the West — American Thinker

“..It was one thing for Western leaders to accept and disseminate al-Qaeda’s lies concerning “grievances” and another thing for them to continue doing so now, in light of ISIS’s recent and open confessions concerning the true nature of the jihad. Any Western leader, analyst, or “expert” who at this late hour continues peddling the “grievance” narrative falls within the ever growing ranks of fools and liars..”

The words and the picture for those that just want scroll on by — The Australian editorial

“…If we dig beneath the surface we can see that our economic and budgetary situation is perilous. Investment levels have plunged from extraordinary highs and in the past year wages growth was 2.1 per cent, the lowest since the last recession. The federal government’s net debt position has deteriorated from zero a decade ago to more than $290bn and will rise to almost $350bn within three years..”

Lindt siege inquest: Scipione, Burns preoccupied with PC ideas — The Australian

“…The inquest into the Martin Place siege this week revealed with horrifying clarity just how muddle-headed this nation’s response to the terror threat has become. When most Australians would have thought the only priority of police at the time would have been to save the lives of the hostages, we learn they were concerning themselves also with “community harmony” and “tolerance”.

$100bn hit to deepen budget debt crisis –The Australian

This is depressing on three fronts…..
1. The sheer enormity of the problem,
2. The seemingly “she’ll be right attitude” and the playing with politics coming from Labor who caused the problem.
3. Although it’s on the front page, the average person will just go ho-hum and turn the page.

Post-Brexit, we aren’t the world as anti-globalisation grows — Maurice Newman, The Australian

“..In Sweden, Denmark, The Netherlands and Austria, the mood is the same. Surveys confirm twice as many Europeans want “less” Europe than “more”. Even the main beneficiary Germany is equally divided on the question, with two thirds wanting the EU’s champion, Chancellor Angela Merkel, to quit. The EU is a relic of post-war French hubris, created to keep Germany under control. It has failed on multiple levels and is plainly unravelling.”

What Thinking Autralians Are Thinking As a participant of the Battle of Long Tan (I was platoon sergeant of 11 Platoon, D Company, 6RAR), my platoon went out with 29 soldiers that day and returned with eight — and who visited the Cross in 2006 — I have a view on the...

Prof Brian Cox: Gorgeous Lips; Lovely Smile; Crap Scientist — Breitbart

“…But history will not judge him and his ilk kindly for the disservice he has done to the scientific method in general and climate science in particular. He has used rhetorical trickery to promulgate a massive lie and perpetrate a giant con against a credulous public who really deserve better than to be misled in this way by Cox and his employers at the ABC and the BBC…”

Q&A does it again — Now Brian Cox outed fudging the facts

“…Cox displayed an out-of-date NASA chart of remodelled global temperatures as proof that we have catastrophic climate change caused by industrial pollution.
There was once a clear distinction between science – that was about reason and evidence – and art that could venture into the make-believe including through the re-interpretation of facts. This line is increasingly blurred in climate science where data is now routinely remodeled to make it more consistent with global warming theory…”
