Chris Bowen wrecked all the fun
This could have been awesome, now it’s boring. Chris Bowen, you broke a nation’s heart:
Labor’s treasury spokesman Chris Bowen has withdrawn from the race to lead his party just 29 hours after launching his bid, after a deluge of senior figures threw their support behind Anthony Albanese.
It paved the way for a deal to install Mr Albanese unopposed, with finance spokesman Jim Chalmers as his deputy – though it is understood some in the party are still encouraging Mr Chalmers to run against Mr Albanese for the top job, and he is still considering that option.
Which means the only hope for internal fighting is from Jim Chalmers.
C’mon, Jim! Do it for the crowd!

It pays to learn your opponents’ tactics. This is a great primer.
There’s little debate that modern-day American universities, public education, mainstream media, Hollywood, and political advocacy groups are dominated by leftists. This is no accident, but part of a deliberate strategy to pave the way for communist revolution developed more than eight decades ago by an Italian political theorist named Antonio Gramsci.
Described as one of the world’s most important and influential Marxist theorists since Marx himself, if you are not familiar with Gramsci, you should be.
And this is Gramsci in action:
