When Costello agreed to deal with John Howard on the leadership of the Liberal Party he had a vision of how the modern party should operate. The party would require different leaders at different times so as to exploit their strengths. Few people in any generation are good at everything. Some are good at maintaining discipline so as to present a united front in opposition. Others are good at collegial activity so as to exploit the strength of ministers in government. The central criticism of Mr Abbott, putting aside that it is a lie, is that Mr Abbott did not exploit his front bench well enough. He is a better opposition leader than PM, goes the accusation. The fact that there was strong disloyalty by some ministers allows some to substantiate the lie. It is apparent now that Costello has backed this coup. But if he has, then it is likely that Costello has also put in place generational change, probably to Scott Morrison for some time in the future. Turnbull is not young. Also, the vehemence with which this coup was executed, suggests a slap in the face of Mr Howard, if in fact Costello is behind it. And Costello would be a friend of Mr Abbott, but Turnbull's disloyalty had killed election chances in the states for the Libs, and in '07 and '10. The only way to prevent further destabilisation was to satisfy the need of Turnbull. But Turnbull is a weaker PM than Mr Abbott in terms of ability.
Meanwhile in the US, Hillary Clinton has forgotten the lies she has told regarding her email account. It isn't the only set of lies she has forgotten. Some have proven murderous in her administration of the US as Secretary of State. Maybe, if she were President, she could change. The promise to change should be exacted from her before the position is given to her, or she won't change.
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bell chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle...

Remember Patrick Henry's words: "Give me liberty or give me death." Don't let illusions of impossibility silence you—act today to ensure free speech endures for tomorrow. What's one step you'll take right now?
Free speech has been challenged before. In the US, World War I and World War II imposed wartime restrictions. The prolonged nature of the Vietnam War made such restrictions obvious, as did the war in Afghanistan. However, the failure of the press to remain free has led to remarkable academic debate. It is now claimed—and widely accepted—that free speech is illusory and not truly possible. Minor restrictions on style are said to mean that speech was never free. This view is Orwellian. What happened?
In antiquity, was there free speech in Athens when Socrates was ordered to leave? He drank poison rather than accept exile, but he had had his say. When Athens defeated Persia at sea, scuttling an invasion plan, the successful generals were ...

What exactly have the Palestinians done to demonstrate they’re ready for a state?
Some observations:
📷 There are still 50 hostages in Gaza
📷 They refuse every ceasefire proposal
📷 The Palestinian Authority hasn’t held elections since 2006
📷 Corruption is rampant
📷 Children are taught to glorify terrorism
📷 There’s no accountability, no rule of law, and no democratic institutions
