Random Notes - Idle ThoughtsIt’s getting very ugly — Monica Crowley talks to Sean Hannity
It’s getting very serious and very, very ugly. Trump wasn’t meant to win. It was in the bag for Hillary Clinton or at least that was the plan. Now they’ll stop at absolutely nothing to wrestle control away from Trump.
There’s the problem right there — Higbie vs Bolduan on CNN
“Do not attack the stellar reporters of CNN” says the 30 something, screeching shrew to the retired Navy Seal.
More Roadrunner, Wily Coyote and falling anvil antics
If there is a god, this should happen. If for no other reason than to drive the media and the vaccous, phoney, empty suit talking heads totally nuts. More nuts, berserk and unhinged than they are already
Trump and the media — Wily Coyote, Roadrunner and falling anvils — Nothing to see here.
This is the stuff of Wily Coyote and the Road Runner. The media yet again hit by another falling anvil. Another bucket of cold water over the Marx Stream Media.
What Thinking Australians Are Thinking — Qantas and the Over the top Overheu ban
I find something quite chilling and disturbing in the decision by Qantas to invoke a lifetime ban on pieman Tony Overheu for his assault on Alan Joyce. In the minds of many Australians Alan Joyce has misused and abused his public capacity and profile and the corporate...
Random Note #195,682 — Trump, Obama, Bradley Manning and the MSM — Contrast and Compare
Talk about suck the oxygen out of the room.
Scenario 1 — The medias says that Trump may have leaked sensitive stuff to the Russian ambassador. Putin says from their notes and recordings that he didn’t.
The media becomes totally unhinged, outraged and apoplectic with rage and indignation.
Scenario 2 — Chelsea (Bradley) Manning leaks 700,000 documents to Wikileaks and gets 35 years but President Obama commutes the sentence before leaving office and Manning walks out of jail overnight after serving just 7 years.
Scenario 3 — The Marx Stream Media ululates in orgasmic rapture.
Random Note #189,672 — Qantas ban
This small man with an equally small mind, Alan Joyce is not only misusing his public capacity to prosecute his personal politics but now because of a personal dispute and disagreement he is using the corporate clout of Qantas to restrict the freedom of movement of someone by banning him from Qantas and all other Qantas associated airlines.
Someone should remind Joyce that he is just an employee and that he does not own the airline. What are the options available to other of Mr Joyce’s fellow employees, shareholders and travelling public that also disagree with him using his corporate capacity to prosecute his personal predilections? It was it was the preening, corporate narcissist in chief, Alan Joyce who ventured out from behind his desk into the world of politics and social engineering and should have been aware of the treacherous waters he was venturing into.
Ayn Rand, Altruism, and Jihad — American Thinker
For many Europeans in the past 20 years, now-distant memories of both world wars have hardened into a self-righteous conviction that peace outweighs any value that might conflict with it, almost regardless of the threat or provocation. Consequently, there is an exquisite disregard in deliberately ignoring the “grim possibility that their children and grandchildren might end up by living under Sariah law, if, in fact, they are allowed to live at all. The West continues to avoid the obvious. But as Ayn Rand has noted, “you can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality.”
Random Note #193,683 — Education
“..the education system had to be radically reshaped so that it was “part of the socialist struggle for equality, participation and social change rather than an instrument of the capitalist system..”

How Australia Bungled Its $36 Billion High-Speed Internet Rollout — The New York Times
As Ronald Reagan said “government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem”
“..The story of Australia’s costly internet bungle illustrates the hazards of mingling telecommunication infrastructure with the impatience of modern politics. The internet modernization plan has been hobbled by cost overruns, partisan manoeuvring and a major technical compromise that put 19th-century technology between the country’s 21st-century digital backbone and many of its homes and businesses..”
