The Iranians are calling this The End of Times and Trump is “al-Dajjāl” – the Muslim equivalent of the Antichrist. https://theconversation.com/a-senior-iranian-cleric-thinks-trump-is-the-muslim-antichrist-who-is-this-figure-al-dajjal-277976

"Jog on" is pure British slang. Never heard it used here.

Since when? Sounds like a British import

Melbournian slang?

From Occupy Democrats. BREAKING: Trump is left reeling after the New York Times reveals that Iran’s attacks have bombed EVERY American military base in the Middle East so badly they are “virtually uninhabitable!” Thanks to the Trump administration’s criminal lack of preparation and shocking understimation of Iran’s military capabilities, the US military is now working remotely in the Middle East, putting civilians in danger as they work out of hotels and makeshift operations centers in civilian areas. “The result, according to current and former military officials, is a war that is much harder to prosecute.” The Times reports that “many of the 13 military bases in the region used by American troops are all but uninhabitable, with the ones in Kuwait, which is next door to Iran, suffering perhaps the most damage.” Iranian officials have even accused the U.S. military of using civilians as human shields by putting American troops in hotels. This is sure to prompt another furious tirade from Donald Trump who we now know is not getting the full picture of just how badly this war is going for him and is instead just getting a highlight reel of war porn, watching our tax dollars blow things up for two minutes every day. This is a perfect demonstration of the blind hubris of the Trump administration. After two decades of watching America uncontestedly bomb the poorest people in the world, Trump and Hegseth couldn’t even conceive of an enemy with a sophisticated military and able to fight back, despite all the evidence to the contrary. They took no preparations, expected no reprisals. They didn't evacuate anyone from the Middle East until AFTER the war had started. They didn't bother to prepare for drones. They attacked Iran because they are cowards and bullies, thinking that they could impose their will on Iran by simply killing one old man. They were very, very, wrong, and now they’ve started a fire they cannot put out with lies and bombs.

At least supermarkets don't charge you to get the money. Banks hit you if you use an ATM (that's not you bank's).

Can you imagine the amount of destruction to infrastructure in both Iran and the other Arab countries that have been caught up in this madness? How long does it take to clear a bombed electricity generating facility of rubble and then build a new on in its place? Years. We bitch and carry on if our electricity is knocked out by Mother Nature for a day or so. Imgine having to go through a MIddle Estern Summer and winter without air conditioning or heating. Don't forget that the Iranians are not tent-dwelling camel drivers. They are the descendants of one of the longest running urban societies in the World. They are smart, sophoisticated people, despite their religion. They aren't even Arabs. They just follow the same religion. After WWII, the USA poured money into restoring Europe and Japan. One reason was so as not to repeat the errors of the Treaty of Versailles which battered Germany and lead to the rise of Hitler. The cause of the war with Japan was, would you beleive it, the USA trying to stiffle Japan's idea of an Asia run by Asians, not Europeans. Now, the USA is just about bankrupting itself waging an unwinnable war. There will be no money from that source to rebuild Arabia.

Yep , to a T from everything l've seen too that isn't coming out of Donald ducks or any of his obedient side kicks mouths. like l said at the start , the yanks can't understand these people or how they'll fight but these people haven't survived over 2000yrs on luck. Us will be damn lucky to make 500 l reckon and it could be at that hands of someone like this but China hasn't survived 5000 yrs on luck either so. As l said in some thread round here to notice everyone he does go are nothing compared to the US, it's a Putin all over. But these guys, l reckon they'll givem a run and a half and from what you've said they bloody are to. Also saw they've been preparing for the US and this 20yrs and for anything big in general since the 70s. Apparently to they also have over a one million man trained army so if Duck puts people on the ground it probably won't end well for them they reckon. Also listening to Sachs this morning and one other professor and they both agreed Iran could really damage to the US in all this because of their poss' millions of drones and the type of drones they actually are, even take out some of their ships. At any rate , God only knows but one things for sure well two actually in my book. The US won't be getting out of this Scott free but 2ndly, congratulations to on creating new rounds of Terrorism from here to now for decades to come. ps and oh yeah, thanks for running the whole world into the dirt from here too, for probably at least 12mths now but could be much longer.

Well, l'm glad to hear that anyway. But yeah they do , can't work it out something should be done. And they only choose 1 world story whatever they deem worthy on the night you wouldn't have a damn clue about anything watching them. Tv wise l do like SBS though, their world news covers a helluva lot but they also have most main countries individual own news shows too. Love watching all those too even though most of them aren't translated . Also have a few broad channels l watch on Tube but other scattered bits and pieces everywhere as well.

If you think you are safe in Australia, watch these progressive mental health major party voter events. Owners' dash cams. There's hundred of raw videos like this one.

Well, Narelle has pretty much burnt itself out, as it heads through the Southern Goldfields of W.A. as an ex-tropical depression. We've had a very nice 66mm of rain in Perth since early yesterday morning, nice steady soaking rain, and it's pretty much finished as far as the rain from Narelle goes. Most the W.A. wheatbelt has received between about 25mm to 40mm, a great start to the cropping season. I haven't got any recent news on storm damage in places such as Carnarvon (which recorded a wind gust of 133kmh yesterday afternoon, I guess quite a few banana trees will have been wiped out. Exmouth and Coral Bay have suffered some moderate levels of storm damage, but the buildings in those places are built to withstand cyclones, so they generally survive O.K. Learmonth copped a total of over 350mm in rainfall, so pretty wet there, some of the other places down the coast didn't get a lot of rain, Carnarvon only got 11.6mm in total.

I don't think there was much detail to go on, but you could say it falls under the heading of entertainment. I know that's pretty sketchy, but narrowing it down much further would give it away.

If you watch the European news, such as DW.com News, you'll get a more balanced world view of what is actually going on in the world. Australian news channels are all about making money from shock/horror/crime news. There's crime everywhere if you want to concentrate on finding it. We still live in a pretty safe country, IMO.

Champion golfer Tiger Woods has been taken into custody and charged after he was involved in a serious car crash in Florida. The rollover crash occurred just after 2pm (local time) on Friday not far from where Woods lives in Jupiter Island in Florida, the Martin County Sheriff’s Office told media outlets. It has been reported that there were no serious injuries and police said it could “have been a lot worse”. Florida’s Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek later confirmed that Woods showed “signs of impairment” at the time of the accident. Budensiek said Woods had tried to overtake a truck “at high speeds” before he swerved and rolled his Land Rover. “When it came time for us to ask for a urinalysis test, he refused, and so he has been charged with DUI, property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test,” Budensiek said.

Yeah, l'd like to think the same, your certainly oblivious to any of t up here on the Mallee . But yeah , makes me sick the way our Melb/Sydney news just insist on splattering it all over the news every damn night, as l said gave up watching those a few yrs back, l don't even know how they can read that stuff night after night. l think we're the only country that insists on that every night from the many other news l've watched around the world. Even the Us you'd have no idea there even was any violence there none of it's on the news bar one of their yet another mass shootings every now and then but most of those don't even get a mention either. Uk's bad atm too but haven't seen any of it much on their news either.

"jog on"??

A flash in the pan from disaffected/disgruntled voters, I'd call it. Let's see if ON gets more seats at the upcoming elections, or if people just see through ON as just another bunch of useless politicians pronouncing that they have all the answers to solve all the nations problems - which they haven't.

We've had 24mm of rain today (since about 6:30AM), a very nice refreshing amount of moisture. There's a little more to come this afternoon, in this rain band drifting in off the Indian Ocean, and tomorrow, we may get some more rain from the remnants of Cylone Narelle as it makes its way through the W.A. Wheatbelt. Narelle crossed the W.A. coast about 75kms S of Coral Bay as a Category 4 cylone about 1:00PM today (Friday 27th), but has now decayed to a Category 3 as it heads SSE to cross the Gascoyne River between Gascoyne Junction and Carnarvon about 7:00PM tonight. Gusts of up to 170kmh are likely to hit Carnarvon this afternoon and evening. There will be fruit and vegetable losses in Carnarvon, Carnarvons banana trees are susceptible to very strong winds. Narelle has picked up speed, and is now travelling at 33kmh (previously 18-20kmh). The W.A. Wheatbelt will start to feel the effects of the remnants of the Cylone as it degrades to a very strong low pressure system tomorrow.

Sorry, GON but I have zero sympathy for you. And some people meekly pay a fine that is ridiculously easy to get out of. As I said, I have failed to vote on 3 occasions and paid zero fines. If you are paying fines it is because you choose to. It is perhaps a question of "what have the Romans ever done for us" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qc7HmhrgTuQ We live in a country with pretty good health, although like most things in life, it has it's problems; however, it doesn't tend to bankrupt people as it does in the US. If you believe you get nothing because you live in the bush, then move. I lived in the bush for 21 years and loved it, but I understood that in having the peace and quiet of a lovely bush block, I could not whine about not having the services of the city. There is a connection between the country life you enjoy and the 37km drive into town. If the facilities of a town were just down the road from your property, then you would be complaining about the amount of traffic. When I lived in the bush, I enjoyed the "solitude" but by the very definition of that word, services were further away. You can't realistically have both. So what is it that the non-Anglos get in the bush that you don't? I thought you moved to the bush so you would have to mix with non-Australians Again, why pay it at all? There are plenty of ways of avoiding it. So, exactly what is it you want? Do you want a post office built across the road from your property? You just can't have everything, the solitude a remote property must come at a cost, it is only "remote" because it is a "remote" If you think I am a city person who doesn't understand well, as I said, I have lived this life. It was great, with pros and cons, but worth it, and I never whinged about it because to me whinging about the place you live is lioke saying I have made a bad choice.

Counting in the upper house is still going on but the ABC has only one seat listed as still in doubt, a sitting Labor member likely to be returned. Half the upper house was up for election, eleven seats, and of those, five changed hands.The Liberals lost two, SA Best lost one, Better Community lost one and an Independant lost one. Those who gained new seats were Labor 1, Greens 1 and One Nation 3.

Trump is saying that the Iranians have sent him a valuable and important present but he won't say what it is. He seemed a bit surprised but says it's given him confidence that they're dealing with the right people. I'm wondering what it is. Maybe a 44 gallon drum of aviation fuel for his new 747, could be a gold pipe bomb? Who knows?

I needed $15, a $10 and a $5 note, today to put in a slot to get a docket for a haircut. ATM's don't give $5's and the docket machine does not give change. I went to Aldi to buy a couple of grocery items. I asked the guy on the checkout if I could get $15 cash out. He said, No. Only multiples of $10." I said "I need a $5 note. He said "You'll have to draw $20, and I'll give you 1 x $10 and 2 x $5.". How petty.

Being the best useless garbage makes you the winner.
