On Bolt Report an ongoing policy is that any Islam post can only be on the pinned leader. Normal rules apply in that if it is merely foul and abusive it will be deleted. Otherwise comments are welcome.

Dan Andrews is Premier of Victoria and very weak. He is run by the CFMEU and makes decisions that badly affect Victoria. One dumb decision is to close down a new private cancer ward. There needs to be private care if public care is to function right.
Miranda Devine conflates an accusation of domestic violence which is being badly handled in Queensland with a domestic violence case resulting in the death of a child. Domestic violence is a serious issue and difficult for police because victims usually don't know how to help themselves. The QLD ALP politicians may be innocent until proven guilty, but the party failed to vet them properly. Criticism of the alleged is appropriate as he is a public figure and the public has a right to do what the party should have done. Devine is also being highly critical of the government on something they haven't announced yet. The senate which is controlled by the ALP will not pass cuts. The government could raise taxes without the senate. So Devine is getting her criticism ready in advance, blaming the government for raising taxes when they are trying not to.
Bolt questions the allegations made against Essendon and all of Australia's sports which were championed by Jason Clare when he was Home Secretary. Clare's outrageous slurs were prosecuted so that innocent people were asked to plead guilty for lesser sentences. The abuse of power was facilitated by the media who are partisan for the ALP.
On this day in 1242, Crusaders who had targeted East European pagans and Orthodox Christians were defeated in a battle on ice of Lake Peipus by Alexander Nevsky fighting for Russia. In 1609, Shimazu Tadatsune of Satsuma successfully invaded Ryūkyū Kingdom in Okinawa, although it was not formally annexed until after the Meiji Restoration in 1872. In 1614, Pocahontas married John Rolfe. She died aged 22 in March 1617. She had a son, and he survived to provide for many descendants. Her last words were reported as "all must die, but tis enough that her child liveth" In 1621, Mayflower set sail from Plymouth, Massachusetts for England. The ship was weighted with stones as ballast. Her crew was ravaged by disease. The journey had not gone to plan. In 1904, the first international Rugby League match was played between England and 'others' (Scottish and Welsh) in Central Park, Wigan. In 1932, Finland gave up Prohibition of Alcohol. The rise in crime rates saw it opposed by 70% at referendum. Finland had adopted the laws when she was independent of Russia in 1919. Earlier, the Tsar had stopped prohibition. In 1933, FDR signed a bill prohibiting the hoarding of Gold.
In 1942, Japan raided Colombo, sinking two royal navy cruisers. In 1944, Nazis killed two hundred and seventy Greek townsfolk. In 1949, Fireside Theatre debuted on tv. In 1951, the spies called Rosenbergs were executed after they stood by the Soviet Union to the end. In 1956, Fidel Castro declared war on Cuba. He really has that big an ego. In 1976, the Tiananman Incident occurred where the Gang of four managed to arrest thousands of protestors, some sixty of whom it was alleged were beheaded and cremated nearby. Those communists know how to party. In 1986, Libya bombed La Belle Discotheque in West Berlin, killing three and wounding over 200. In retaliation, Reagan bombed Libya and accidentally killed a daughter of Gadaffi. He had aimed for the dad. In 1994, Kurt Cobain committed suicide. His music wasn't that bad. In 1999, two Libyans accused of bringing down a flight over Scotland in '88 were handed over.

Quote from Tacitus: “the more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws.” Dear Members, If you are wondering if there are a list of rules on this site, I have found that there is not a list, but there are expectations of common behavioural standards. One such standard is that the admin of this page assume members are adults and should act like such. The other common standard is that we would like the discussion page to be family friendly, it doesn’t always happen, but the idea is to refine your expression so that an adult discussion can be followed. Similarly, goading others into personal character attacks, and claiming to be a victim of continuous attacks on one discussion thread may hold merit, but may also end up with the admin of this page seeing through such claims.
Many thanks John. Also on this day in 1566, 200 Dutch nobleman led by the Big Beggar, Hendrik van Brederode, forced themselves onto the presence of the Governor of the Netherlands and presented a petition of compromise, denouncing the Spanish Inquisition in the Netherlands. Whereupon it was suspended and a petition was sent to Spain. It is difficult to understand these things with modern sensibilities. One might hear a Monty Python take on the issue, but it was more serious than that. The issue was political and suggests a change of the guard during the eighty year war. Anyone wanting an insight into life of the time should check out the movie "The Last Valley" which is set in 1637.

Mr Ball, I will not sign your petition as it will do no good, but I will share your message and ask as many of friends who read it, to share it also. Let us see if we cannot use the power of the internet to spread the word of these infamous killings. As a father and a former soldier, I cannot, could not, justify ignoring this appalling action by the perpetrators, whoever they may; I thank you Douglas. You are wrong about the petition. Signing it is as worthless and meaningless an act as voting. A stand up guy would know that. - ed
Lorraine Allen Hider I signed the petition ages ago David, with pleasure, nobody knows what it's like until they've been there. Keep heart David take care.
