UHLMANN FORGETS WHO CAME BEFORE TRUMP
The ABC's Chris Uhlmann today argues that Donald Trump "pressed fast forward on the decline of the United States as a world leader" by going it alone at the G20, leaving the field to Russia and China. Sounds plausible, if you forget who he replaced. Didn't Russia and China grow strong by filling the vacuum that was Barack Obama?

Sounds plausible, if you forget who Trump replaced. Didn't Russia and China grow strong by filling the vacuum that was Barack Obama? Didn't Syria collapse and North Korea develop its nuclear bombs as Obama quit the field and surrender to multilateralism?
Uhlmann wants Trump to not be an outsider at G20. But what was the issue on which he was most isolated?
It was on global warming - the Paris agreement. But check what that agreement did. It committed the US to cut its emissions while letting China and Russia increase their own. In other words, it was designed to weaken the US and strengthen China and Russia.
Isn't the truth that it was Obama who weakened US influence, and it is now Trump who is asserting it?
Criticism from Merkel and Macron is not evidence of US decline. It is evidence that the US is now more focussed on the interests of the US, and not that of Germany and France.

Real men: Ukraine’s heroes shame us
Ukraine's heroes have shamed us. These real men have shown us something that we in the West think we've lost, having had manhood and patriotism beaten out of us.
SO TALKING ABOUT FAKE ABORIGINES IS NOW ALLOWED?
Amazing. Now there's even a play about white people pretending to be black, and the woke Sydney Morning Herald praises it. What a change from the days when it joined the pack attack on me for writing about this astonishing race-shifting. Read on.
We can’t sell our freedom for Chinese-Australian votes
Australia has 1.2 million people of Chinese ancestry. Now there are warnings that the Liberals should go soft on the Chinese dictatorship, to keep those voters happy. That toxic identity politics is a danger to Australia and an insult to many of our Chinese. My column here.
ROY SPENCER: GOOGLE PUNISHED ME FOR REPORTING THE REAL TEMPERATURE
Dr Roy Spencer runs the world's most authoritative measurement of the world's temperature, using NASA satellites. Google has now demonetised his website, where he reports the results. It accuses him of spreading "harmful" news - which is that the planet is not warming anything like as fast as predicted. Here he speaks on The Bolt Report.
What worries me most about Albanese
The Liberals are trying to smear and smash Anthony Albanese. But they aren't talking much about his real problem - the one that worries me most. My column from The Bolt Report.
