IF / THEN
Because ideas have consequences ...
IF ….
If Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated by a bomb covertly smuggled into the guesthouse where he was staying weeks before he arrived and set off remotely when he retired to his private quarters …
THEN …
That is real room service!
It represents a startling breach of security for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps who were charged with guarding the facility; and a stunning achievement by Israel.
IF ….
A Schneider Electric Sustainability Index survey of 500 Australian companies has found that 42 percent have not yet begun decarbonising and 30 percent say they have no intention of meeting their stated net zero emissions targets
THEN …
There might be hope for our country yet!
IF ….
local and foreign owned wind and solar farms, according to the Herald Sun, are collecting $1.6b a year in subsidies from the Federal Government …
THEN …
That explains the intense, frantic and at times unhinged lobbying against the introduction of nuclear energy.
IF ….
The manager of Officejerks in Elsernwick refused to serve a Jewish customer because she was pro-Palestinian …
THEN …
Thank God she wasn’t managing a hospital.
IF ….
Kenyan officials are successful in using poison to kill one million crows that are preying on wildlife, raiding tourist areas and attacking poultry farms …
THEN …
That would truly be a murder of crows. But culling a million birds with poison is nothing to Crow about. Shouldn’t they have stoned them?
IF ….
US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is right that the world's transition to a low-carbon economy requires $4.5 trillion in new investment annually through to 2050 …
THEN …
Renewable energy really is the most expensive cheapest form of electricity known to man.
IF ….
Reverend Al Sharpton is right that Donald Trump only attended the Black Journalists’ Conference this week to please white supremacists …
THEN …
Wait. What?!? That doesn’t even make sense.
Anyway, race -baiting Al loved Trump until Trump went into politics. But if Trump is allowed to cleanup Democratic corruption, the Rev’s grift will be up.
IF ….
It’s true that Chinese swimmers were aided in their performance by eating McDonalds burgers made from Australian beef containing the same steroids that helped Arnold Schwarzenegger bulk up …
THEN …
As someone who has been eating McDonalds for years, I should be an Olympic champion by now. Or, at the very least, a Mr Universe.
IF ….
It’s okay for Democrats to demand a coloured woman be nominated for President
THEN …
It’s okay for everyone else to remark on the fact.
IF …
Anyone doubted just how deeply the left’s insane gender theory had permeated institutions and the media …
THEN …
They should have no doubts at all after the Paris Olympic Games.
IF …
We are supposed to take NATO seriously …
THEN …
How on earth can they have member state Turkey who declared yesterday a day of national mourning for slain Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh? Tell me again what values Turkey shares with Western democratic nations?
IF …
The Victorian Labor Party has backflipped - and it has - on its plan to ditch the Lord’s Prayer from the opening of Parliament …
THEN …
We have Catholic Archbishop of Melbourne Peter A Comensoli to thank. The Archbishop gathered more than 11,000 signatures which meant the issue had to be debated in the Legislative Council. After debate, both major parties voted to retain the prayer.
Lead me not into temptation and all that, but Greens tears never tasted so good.
IF …
This news report from the Economic Times makes any sense at all …
“Olympic fencer Nada Hafez competes while 7 months pregnant: 'Carrying a little Olympian’”
THEN …
It is because we all know - due to common sense and the way we talk in most instances - that the idea an unborn baby is nothing more than lifeless tissue to be disposed of if inconvenient, is a transparent lie.
IF …
You rely on the The Age newspaper to be informed …
THEN …
You are paying good money to become the most misinformed person in the village. The controversy was NOT that a female boxer quit and refused to shake hands. The controversy was that a female boxer was being punched in the face by a man.
IF …
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese seriously believes what he tweeted yesterday …
Getting more renewables up and running will bring power prices down. That's just a fact.
THEN …
Clearly he is not paying the power bill at The Lodge. Can you imagine a more out of touch PM?
IF …
You thought the International Olympic Committee was speaking on behalf of Italian boxer Angela Camini when they released a statement yesterday saying …
“Every person has the right to practise sport without discrimination’’ and that it was “saddened by the abuse”
THEN …
You’d be wrong!
The IOC was not concerned about a woman’s right to not be beaten black and blue by a male in the boxing ring, but about the male’s right to punch women without sanction.
I honestly didn’t imagine the Games could get any more ‘woke’ after the outrageous Opening Ceremony, and yet here we are.
Have a wonderful weekend wherever you are in the world. And thanks so much for subscribing to my daily report.
Be kind to the people you love, say a prayer for my beloved North Melbourne football team and don’t let living through the end of Western civilisation get you down too much.
I wrote to Wesfarmers and told them that I won’t be going into Officeworks until the young woman was sacked and there is a public apology to the Jewish man and the Jewish community.
You speak clearly for us all James. Enjoy your weekend too. Juist wait for the closing ceremony of the Olympic games. They might be even more deplorable!
