New German leader finally gets approved.

“far right” opposition party now the most popular but likely to be closed down. In holland, France and now Germany, the mainstream leftist parties have managed to keep the right out by describing them as far right and refusing to let them into government.

That will be a long way and they won’t hit their target.

The Left regard anyone to the right of Pol Pot as “far right”. They are such bores and boors. The Thinking Community no longer takes them seriously, not that they ever really did. But now they are not allowing Leftist bullying to silence them.

Major power outages hits London underground
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14703481/major-tube-chaos-outage-London.html
We were passing through there this time last week to travel on the Eurostar.yesterday stansted airport had a major power outage that disrupted the flights for 10000 people. As we know Spain was completely blacked out last week.
We have built an immensely complicated world with too little reliable energyand too much reliance on digital systems, the Internet and AI. Any determined cyber savvy enemy could surely bring down the house of cards that is the over complex virtue signalling net zero fixated western world

Sounds like they need more windmills and solar panels.
Or maybe they need to accelerate those sun-dimming experiments.

Here’s a good summary of the London Underground power failure and also the simultaneous 25C (77F) “heatwave” scary stories from the UK. Some of the scary story headlines are bizarre.

Message from Senator Babet (Trumpets of Patriots) on Farcebook.
https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1CpPQkNM2Z/

Senator Babet represents the United Australia Party.
Exactly what the status of the USP is, is incertain. It is currently deregistered but still has a lot of members.

The UAP is now represented as Trumpets of Patriots. It has something to do with election rules not allowing the name of a deregistered party to be used in the next election even if it is reregistered. Senator Babet states his party affiliation as UAP but also supports Trumpets which is essentially the same party. I do not know the administrative reasons why the UAP was deregistered. I stated his affiliation as Trunpets as the older-named party doesn’t exist any more. As far as I’m aware, UAP members are considered to be Trumpets members.

Just imagine if the staggering amount of money thrown away on useless “green” energy was used to progress humanity rather than regress it.
Also, I would like to see an estimate for Australia and other countries at just how much money that it is.
And because the money is essentially, literally, thrown to the wind, it has meant that many productive endeavours never got funded such as schools, hospitals, scientific research, roads etc. both due to a direct waste of taxpayer money plus reduced economic productivity and thus fewer taxes to be collected or money to privately fund such endeavours. The opportunity cost is huge.
