If anyone in the Eastern states wonder what new sensations they’re missing in Perth, I can answer-
Men dressed as women
Cops in black and flouro yellow, cycling around the city and checking in at shops in what I can only imagine is a background operation to entrap every Christmas shopper in a superspreader event. They carry sidearms, talk far too loud and chummily to staff and are spurned by others.
Asians running every small food outlet and retail stall. I say this not as a racial observation, because Perth has been bigly Indo and Han Chinese since way back, but bad English and good manners indicate it’s a new foreign born cohort doing what the natives are too plump and comfy to bother with
A museum which is a badly designed, unergonomic, noisy, low lit and soft focus, disconnected excercise in trashing the inheritance of the enlightenment and fomenting Marxist revisionism. Don’t go to the Museum. Do not go. I am seriously dumbfounded that in a place which has dumped the display of evidence for a paper-thin presentation of “stories” the basic communication is so sub-under-graduate. Case in point, see what you can make of the constant mish-mash of common names, Aboriginal names and Latin names. But do not go. Just, don’t set foot in the place. The amount of empty space within, including useless acute triangulated corners, the echoes, the bizarre and discombobulating random grey noise from overhead speakers, the underwhelming ubiquity of touch screen questionnaires… do not go.
Fat people. When did Australians get so badly fat?
Road Trains on the coastal freeway. There once was a solid rule that meant that a tractor could only hook up three trailers on the eastern side of Merredin, that has gone out the window, following what I’d guess is the decimation of drivers over jab mandates. WA drivers are crap enough without them… maybe it’ll check our bad attitude, and maybe someone will get killed.
Empty shopfronts.
Pre-Christmas 40% off storewide sales.
19*C, four days before the solstice.

Claire Lehmann’s rubbish piece in Thursday’s Oz warranted no responses, either Friday or Saturday. I’d say that the Lizard People editors would either brook no argument to “Covid fascism is nothing like Hitler’s German Nazis AT ALL”-
or, she’s in proactive protection

Refugees lack COVID shots because drugmakers fear lawsuits, documents show

BRUSSELS/BANGKOK, Dec 16 (Reuters) – Tens of millions of migrants may be denied COVID-19 vaccines from a global programme because some major manufacturers are worried about legal risks from harmful side effects, according to officials and internal documents from Gavi, the charity operating the programme, reviewed by Reuters.

Miss France to welcome transgender contestants

Transgender women will be allowed to enter the contest for the title of Miss France, one of Europe’s most popular national beauty contests, its chief has announced.

Candidates would have to prove that they had recorded their female civil identity with the public registry, Alexia Laroche-Joubert, the newly appointed chairwoman of the Miss France organisation, said.

Laroche-Joubert, a successful television producer, was brought in three months ago to shore up the annual contest, which has survived as a national fixture with millions of TV viewers despite decades of attacks for promoting archaic stereotypes of women.

On the eve of last Saturday’s Miss France 2022 pageant, Élisabeth Moreno, the equality minister, criticised the contest, calling it outmoded and discriminatory. At a meeting with Laroche-Joubert, she said that the organisation ought to be opened to transgender candidates, like other contests around the world, including Miss Spain, Miss USA, Miss South Africa and Miss Panama.

Roselyne Bachelot, the culture minister, defended the traditional Miss France competition. “It’s an amusing, glamorous contest,” she said. “We need a little lightness … the young women are far from being bimbos.”

The rules for registering a different gender from the one assigned at birth were eased in 2016 after pressure from the Socialist government of the former president François Hollande. Those who wish to do so no longer have to prove that they have undergone surgery and other medical treatment. Instead, they only have to show that they live in the identity of their new gender and are accepted as such by family, friends and their employers.

Laroche-Joubert did not say when the new contest rules would come into force. Diane Leyre, 24, a property development executive from Paris, began her reign as the new Miss France last weekend. She described herself as an ardent feminist.

Perth wasn’t all wasted.
Kids were good company, ate some fun stuff.
Went to the new digs of an oooold SF bookshop, picked up some paperbacks and some good tips from the proprietor.
Ducked into a genuine scummy punk record store, wasted $40 punting on psych-rock (Apollo80, Lizard! Lizard! Lizard! – v weak) had a good chat to the proprietor. For some reason he had $1 stickers of the Umbrella Corp logo, so pocketed a few of them too.

Perth is dichotomous and becoming more so by the month.

Our local shopping centre (Whitfords) my wife and I now call “Boulder Block”. Tatts often outnumber teeth. Warwick Shopping Centre is “Spot the Aussie, populated by an increasing number of Asian people and, latterly, people from Africa.

OTOH, Karrinyup is so far up itself it can no longer see daylight.

We spent last weekend at Crown Towers. Totally overwhelmed with the tattooed, botoxed, lifted, exfoliated, drunk, obnoxious, loud bogan set. And the girls were no better. Young people (20s) in Audis, Jeep V8s, Beemers, Mercs, VERY worked Subarus, spending money like water. (Those bubbles are $120 a bottle? Bring us three to start.) $260 steaks. $28 cocktails. Ordinary room? $600 a night. I saw “kids” (well, to me they are) dropping $500 a bet on roulette.

And then, if you go into the CBD, you will quite literally fall over the homeless sleeping rough on the streets. The whole place is a shit-and-urine-filled cesspool. Go to Northbridge and risk getting king-hit, stabbed/slashed or shot.

Everyone just seems so bloody aggro all the time!

The Eugyppius site is excellent, and one of the few signs of intelligence in a depressing world of utter stupidity.

The issue to me is that we live in a bureaucracy and the majority of bureaucrats are rather ignorant and foolish ppl with absolutely no understanding of how ignorant they are. And is it our job to point it out to them? It’s obviously hopeless, they are smug as well as ignorant. So I have decided to let them find out for themselves how they are doomed to fuck up everything they touch. It could take a long time. They aren’t very bright.

We stayed in Northbridge… it did have a few radiantly dangerous individuals, but walking with wits about one’s person is all part of the education for youngsters. I think the sheer numbers of people on the hoof were insurance against dodgy goings-on, once upon a time Northbridge was punctuated by dark spots and cold stretches between club-crawling arts students bussing into the esplanade, striking out for the Aberdeen, or the Leederville beyond.
But yeah, heaps of Big Issuers, beggars, crackheads, barefoot corner camp dossers. If only the flouro filth would swing their numbers into some move-on orders, instead of itching to get on with some “papers bitte!” interventions.

In the 1960’s our extended family gathered at my grandmothers for Christmas night, Father Christmas came and the kids got pressies, after nana died in the mid 90’s we continued the tradition at my parents without our cousins but us five kids had enough children of our own to have a good time. I have two brothers and two sisters and there’s fourteen kids between us. Mum and Dad are still going but mums on the way out and it’s likely this will be her last Christmas, due to her poor health my youngest sister was going to host it this year.

Now my other sister is married to a doctor (a specialist) and like many doctors, he’s impressed with his own brilliance, my sister believes everything he says. So BIL doctor tells my sisters that only vaccinated people should be allowed to come on Christmas night and both sisters agree because he’s an expert. Now my middle brother (I’m the oldest) isn’t vaccinated, he’s lost his job and is depressed, I only got jabbed as I still have school age kids and don’t have the resources to continue without employment. I support my brother 100%.

So I tell my sisters that if my brother can’t go, that I’m not going, they say that’s not fair, I say tough luck, end of conversation. So my wife and I organise to go to her parents for Christmas night instead of lunch. A few days later youngest sis calls and says that they have a compromise! They’ll give my brother a rapid test on the doorstep! I say no way, are you ging to test everyone? Will the tester be wearing the full covid testing costume? Will you turn him away if he or anyone else tests positive? I tell her that’s completely unacceptable and rude and doesn’t change things.

So the other day she rings and says that my brother can come no tests, nothing. I tell er that he won’t come now he’s offended and upset, I’m not going and my mum told her that if my brother isn’t going she won’t go.

So there it is, a family tradition going back 50 years shattered, it will never happen again and my sisters say it’s my fault, because they compromised with the test and I wouldn’t convince my brother to take it and come. A formerly strong extended family shattered.

Plus it looks like we’re going to have Christmas lunch in a park, probably KFC or someother takeaway food as all my older kids are going to their inlaws for lunch (already arranged) and we live 350km from Melbourne and go there for Chrissie.

You did nothing wrong.

1. COVID was endemic in Europe for months and months before it was identified. It was likely endemic globally before it was identified, and we have all had it before. It was endemic for about half a year and possibly a whole year before the West was locked down.

2. The only safe and effective vaccine so far applied for approval in Australia is Novavax…which remains unapproved…

3. Testing non asymptotic persons has a huge type 1 error. I posted a recent BMJ article on this the other day.

4. We all know the demographics of the sick and dead…and that from and with do not have the same meaning.

5. Unless this guy is a complete germophobe, he’s acting the fool.

6. As we all know, Omicron is more contagious but less virulent…let it rip!

7. Doctors (and cops) now are in the same league as solar power spam calls now to me. “The Science” doesn’t change when a bureaucrat has decided that nudge strategy A has run its course strategy B now needs to get a guernsey.

No one in their right mind believes that the progression of “don’t mask, mask, double mask” had any scientific or clinical merit.

Brother in law is virtue signalling from the lofty heights of imagined expertise.

Because granny.

If, and it’s a big “if” granny was to get sick from covid, he will see it as “on his watch”, as he has assumed a professional ownership of the family health. All in his mind, of course. Having supped from the Fountain of Fauci, and supped deeply, he then passes the cup to all around, expecting obedience. Disobedience is met with dismay, threats and pretended compromise.

It’s only Kabuki theatre if all the actors assemble and do their bit. If some walk off stage, the play’s over.

Granny saw through it, of course. She wants Christmas with all her family, not just the dills.

Echoed in my extended family, even down to a doctor in the clan being the expert consultant. Have been waiting for a collective decision on my attendance, but will preempt that today by saying I’m not going unless invited. That takes the pressure off them — no need for an official ‘get ye from this gathering’ and there might be a chance of keeping what’s left of the family together for future Christmases.

It will be peculiar spending Christmas alone except for the cat.

Doctors are science nerds (apology BoN)
but a district lack of social skills or self awareness is often associated with the condition. Your Dr BiL sounds like one of these emotionally autistic types.
The ladies of the family should have set him straight and told the sister that he doesn’t get to call the shots for an entire family. It wouldn’t concern him to get kickback and it’s certain his ego could cope.
So glad your mum is playing a straight bat. They have put her in a horrible position and that is shameful.

This has just come in from Katie Hopkins live feed of the massive London protest. I love Katie….she’s real, she’s earthy, she’s a truth teller….which is why the parasitic left loathe her.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vvp7Uus-fF0

You can see from the protest how, once again, the composite of the protest is made up of ordinary Brits of all colours at the protest. They love Katie. Why? Because Katie speaks for them. So, the MSM and the left must smear and demonise Katie, just like they smear and demonise Avi and they smear and demonise Rushkan…in fact they smear and demonise ALL truth tellers, their stock in trade is the demonisation of ordinary men and women…we’re all faaaaaaaaaar-riiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Just remember how, only a few months ago, when Katie arrived in this country, the stupid fucking Liberals fell for a progressive trap to send Katie back and that useless Karen Andrews and Barnabus Joyce fell for the trap hook line and sinker….Barnabus even trying to suck up to the the ABC when he appeared on Insiders and was asked about Hopkins.

Whilst we’re on the topic of the useless Barnabus, seeing the picture of him in isolation in the USA just makes me laugh out loud and all I can say is SUCK IT UP BARNABUS. I have zero sympathy. You bear responsibility for this Covid crap too. I hope you’re stuck in the USA over Christmas.

The English are out in force against the vaccine passports, lockdowns, etc.

Not one mask in sight. It looks like they’ve really woken up over there. Now how about here? I went to Norton Plaza in Leichhardt on Friday and I thought I was in bizarro world. I seriously wondered whether the rules had been changed again and I just didn’t know. Pretty much everyone (even children!) were wearing masks. I mentioned to a shopkeeper that it was necessary any more and they’d reached the point where they weren’t sure and were playing it on the safe side! Apparently the police had harassed them previously. But what about the customers?

I’m afraid that the fear porn is still working here.

People need to realise that it’s the bureaucrats/public servants vs the rest of us. There’s so many of them they permeate nearly every family now and are a festering ulcer on many relationships.

As shit as it is, sfw, you did the right thing. Think of the extra time and energy you’ll have to focus on worthwhile people and projects. Your sister will come back, she needs you. Stick to your guns, she’s going through the grieving process. If you need that relationship then mould it how you like it, you’re in the power position.

Milk was a San Francisco Pol who got hisself shot dead in 1978, he also had close political ties to Peoples Temple boss Jim Jones, head of the Indiana Human Rights Commission in 1960.
It turns out that Jones had CIA/State Department ties and was very likely a Spook himself.

Sweden Starts Microchipping COVID Passports in People (Newsmax, 18 Dec)

People in Sweden have started getting implanted with microchips that contain their COVID-19 passports, according to Newsweek.

The chip, developed by Epicenter, can store a covid passport under the skin.

“Implants are very versatile technology that can be used for many different things, and right now it is very convenient to have Covid passport always accessible on your implant,” Epicenter’s chief disruption officer Hannes Sjöblad told Ruptly.

He says all this like it isn’t a totally crazy utterly bonkers totalitarian idea. You’d think Swedes with a long history of having to live a short boat ride from Lenningrad might have a clue.

Dear Duncan,

Thank you for your email.

The health of our visitors and staff is our top priority and the Art Gallery’s vaccination policy is based on a full risk assessment. Because we’re a public venue with thousands of visitors each day, we have decided this is an important step to keep our staff and visitors safe. We appreciate your understanding.

We will continue to provide extensive online offerings for those who can’t access the Art Gallery.

We keep visitors updated on current requirements at: https://www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/visit/what-you-need-to-know-before-visiting/

Kind regards,

I sent another (more pointed) note to the Arts Minister asking him ahy the state can’t control their organs, as not only AGNSW, but also the Australian Museum and State Library have a vax exclusion. The triumvirate!

Mr Big is gonsky by the sounds of things.

Chris Noth, the American actor best known for playing Mr Big in Sex and the City, has been accused of sexual assault by two women.

A 40-year-old woman named Zoe told The Hollywood Reporter that she was attacked by Noth, now 67, in Los Angeles in 2004, and Lily, now 31, said that she was assaulted in New York in 2015.

Noth, who has two children with wife Tara Wilson, 39, has ­denied the allegations.

The women, who used pseudonyms to protect their identities, said that they had come forward after press coverage of the Sex and the City sequel series And Just Like That brought back painful memories of the alleged attacks.

The accusers do not know each other and came forward separately, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

UK Scientists take to the streets in protest against Bozza:

The scale of the threat posed by the Omicron variant was laid bare by government scientists last night as they warned that there are now hundreds of thousands of infections every day. That daily number could reach between 600,000 and 2 million by the end of the month if new restrictions are not brought in immediately.

The government’s SPI-M-O group of scientists, which reports to the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage), also warned that, based on their modelling, hospitalisations could peak between 3,000 and 10,000 a day and deaths at between 600 and 6,000 a day.

As of yesterday:

• Total Indicated cases: 101,000
• Hospitalised: 84
• Deaths: 7

Something of a problem in the mismatch between modelling and detection.

• Model says: “hundreds of thousands every day”;
• Testing says: 33,000.

Obviously the 24hr increase in deaths (from 1) is very satisfactory, but the lagging hospitalisation rate is problematic. At this rate the NHS will struggle to be overwhelmed by Christmas.

Lo, it may all come to pass as the Angel said. But it’s certainly an Acid Test for health modelling and the remaining cred of Public Health specialists.

Ask any end-of-life family member what they want for Christmas. I’m positive they won’t ask for months of isolation, banned from seeing let alone hugging and kissing kids and grandkids, interaction only with raincoat wearing/masked/face shield wielding strangers, no church services, etc etc.

I have never seen Love Actually, nor do I intend to.

It is a romantic comedy. Nobody with testicles would willingly watch one of them unless there was woman involved and even then she would have to be pretty spectacular.

Echoed in my extended family, even down to a doctor in the clan being the expert consultant.

That hurt, because it reminded me that my clan is relying on a trainee doctor in the extended family for advice about what brand of vaxx to get, when to get boosters, and where to get them.
Note: they already believe that vaxxes should be ubiquitous.

that if you go back 1000 they are all related. It doesn’t mean they were having kids with their sisters. But second and third cousins, sure.

1,000 years is 30 generations.
Having children with a 30 th Cousin isn’t an issue.
A 2nd Cousin is the child of your Grandparents sibling[s].
A 3rd Cousin your Great Grandparents, and so on.
The Churches kept the Genealogical records, no one was marrying their 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th Cousins in Iceland or anywhere else in Christian Europe.

Hello, based department? Do you have a copy of the Pound Cake Speech?

Yes fellow libertarian-chan, we certainly do.

On May 17, 2004, the NAACP staged a gala celebration at Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C. to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court Decision in Brown v. Board of Education. Comedian, actor, and philanthropist Bill Cosby was asked to deliver the main address. Cosby unexpectedly used the occasion to deliver a controversial speech that profiled current African American social, economic and cultural deficiencies. His speech ignited a firestorm of protest and debate. It appears below.

—————————————–

Ladies and gentlemen, I really have to ask you to seriously consider what you’ve heard, and now this is the end of the evening so to speak. I heard a prize fight manager say to his fellow who was losing badly, “David, listen to me. It’s not what’s he’s doing to you. It’s what you’re not doing.”

Ladies and gentlemen, these people set — they opened the doors, they gave us the right, and today, ladies and gentlemen, in our cities and public schools we have 50% drop out. In our own neighborhood, we have men in prison. No longer is a person embarrassed because they’re pregnant without a husband. No longer is a boy considered an embarrassment if he tries to run away from being the father of the unmarried child.

Ladies and gentlemen, the lower economic and lower middle economic people are not holding their end in this deal. In the neighborhood that most of us grew up in, parenting is not going on. In the old days, you couldn’t hooky school because every drawn shade was an eye. And before your mother got off the bus and to the house, she knew exactly where you had gone, who had gone into the house, and where you got on whatever you had one and where you got it from. Parents don’t know that today.

I’m talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit. Where were you when he was two? Where were you when he was twelve? Where were you when he was eighteen, and how come you don’t know he had a pistol? And where is his father, and why don’t you know where he is? And why doesn’t the father show up to talk to this boy?

The church is only open on Sunday. And you can’t keep asking Jesus to keep doing things for you. You can’t keep asking that God will find a way. God is tired of you. God was there when they won all those cases. 50 in a row. That’s where God was because these people were doing something. And God said, “I’m going to find a way.” I wasn’t there when God said it — I’m making this up. But it sounds like what God would do.

We cannot blame white people. White people — white people don’t live over there. They close up the shop early. The Korean ones still don’t know us as well — they stay open 24 hours. I’m looking and I see a man named Kenneth Clark, he and his wife Mamie. Kenneth’s still alive. I have to apologize to him for these people because Kenneth said it straight. He said you have to strengthen yourselves, and we’ve got to have that black doll. And everybody said it. Julian Bond said it. Dick Gregory said it. All these lawyers said it. And you wouldn’t know that anybody had done a damned thing.

[video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Gh3_e3mDQ8%5D
Fifty percent drop out rate, I’m telling you, and people in jail, and women having children by five, six different men. Under what excuse? I want somebody to love me. And as soon as you have it, you forget to parent. Grandmother, mother, and great grandmother in the same room, raising children, and the child knows nothing about love or respect of any one of the three of them. All this child knows is “gimme, gimme, gimme.” These people want to buy the friendship of a child, and the child couldn’t care less. Those of us sitting out here who have gone on to some college or whatever we’ve done, we still fear our parents. And these people are not parenting. They’re buying things for the kid — $500 sneakers — for what? They won’t buy or spend $250 on Hooked on Phonics.

Kenneth Clark, somewhere in his home in upstate New York — just looking ahead. Thank God he doesn’t know what’s going on. Thank God. But these people — the ones up here in the balcony fought so hard. Looking at the incarcerated, these are not political criminals. These are people going around stealing Coca Cola. People getting shot in the back of the head over a piece of pound cake! Then we all run out and are outraged: “The cops shouldn’t have shot him.” What the hell was he doing with the pound cake in his hand? I wanted a piece of pound cake just as bad as anybody else. And I looked at it and I had no money. And something called parenting said if you get caught with it you’re going to embarrass your mother.” Not, “You’re going to get your butt kicked.” No. “You’re going to embarrass your mother.” “You’re going to embarrass your family.” If you knock that girl up, you’re going to have to run away because it’s going to be too embarrassing for your family. In the old days, a girl getting pregnant had to go down South, and then her mother would go down to get her. But the mother had the baby. I said the mother had the baby. The girl didn’t have a baby. The mother had the baby in two weeks. We are not parenting.

Ladies and gentlemen, listen to these people. They are showing you what’s wrong. People putting their clothes on backwards. Isn’t that a sign of something going on wrong? Are you not paying attention? People with their hat on backwards, pants down around the crack. Isn’t that a sign of something or are you waiting for Jesus to pull his pants up? Isn’t it a sign of something when she’s got her dress all the way up to the crack — and got all kinds of needles and things going through her body. What part of Africa did this come from? We are not Africans. Those people are not Africans; they don’t know a damned thing about Africa. With names like Shaniqua, Shaligua, Mohammed and all that crap and all of them are in jail. (When we give these kinds names to our children, we give them the strength and inspiration in the meaning of those names. What’s the point of giving them strong names if there is not parenting and values backing it up).

Brown versus the Board of Education is no longer the white person’s problem. We’ve got to take the neighborhood back. We’ve got to go in there. Just forget telling your child to go to the Peace Corps. It’s right around the corner. It’s standing on the corner. It can’t speak English. It doesn’t want to speak English. I can’t even talk the way these people talk. “Why you ain’t where you is go, ra.” I don’t know who these people are. And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk. Then I heard the father talk. This is all in the house. You used to talk a certain way on the corner and you got into the house and switched to English. Everybody knows it’s important to speak English except these knuckleheads. You can’t land a plane with, “Why you ain’t…” You can’t be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth. There is no Bible that has that kind of language. Where did these people get the idea that they’re moving ahead on this. Well, they know they’re not; they’re just hanging out in the same place, five or six generations sitting in the projects when you’re just supposed to stay there long enough to get a job and move out.

Now, look, I’m telling you. It’s not what they’re doing to us. It’s what we’re not doing. 50 percent drop out. Look, we’re raising our own ingrown immigrants. These people are fighting hard to be ignorant. There’s no English being spoken, and they’re walking and they’re angry. Oh God, they’re angry and they have pistols and they shoot and they do stupid things. And after they kill somebody, they don’t have a plan. Just murder somebody. Boom. Over what? A pizza? And then run to the poor cousin’s house.

They sit there and the cousin says, “What are you doing here?” “I just killed somebody, man.” “What?” “I just killed somebody; I’ve got to stay here.” “No, you don’t.” “Well, give me some money, I’ll go….” “Where are you going?” “North Carolina.”

Everybody wanted to go to North Carolina. But the police know where you’re going because your cousin has a record.

Five or six different children — same woman, eight, ten different husbands or whatever. Pretty soon you’re going to have to have DNA cards so you can tell who you’re making love to. You don’t who this is. It might be your grandmother. I’m telling you, they’re young enough. Hey, you have a baby when you’re twelve. Your baby turns thirteen and has a baby, how old are you? Huh? Grandmother. By the time you’re twelve, you could have sex with your grandmother, you keep those numbers coming. I’m just predicting.

I’m saying Brown versus the Board of Education. We’ve got to hit the streets, ladies and gentlemen. I’m winding up, now — no more applause. I’m saying, look at the Black Muslims. There are Black Muslims standing on the street corners and they say so forth and so on, and we’re laughing at them because they have bean pies and all that, but you don’t read, “Black Muslim gunned down while chastising drug dealer.” You don’t read that. They don’t shoot down Black Muslims. You understand me. Muslims tell you to get out of the neighborhood. When you want to clear your neighborhood out, first thing you do is go get the Black Muslims, bean pies and all. And your neighborhood is then clear. The police can’t do it.

I’m telling you Christians, what’s wrong with you? Why can’t you hit the streets? Why can’t you clean it out yourselves? It’s our time now, ladies and gentlemen. It is our time. And I’ve got good news for you. It’s not about money. It’s about you doing something ordinarily that we do — get in somebody else’s business. It’s time for you to not accept the language that these people are speaking, which will take them nowhere. What the hell good is Brown V. Board of Education if nobody wants it?

What is it with young girls getting after some girl who wants to still remain a virgin. Who are these sick black people and where did they come from and why haven’t they been parented to shut up? To go up to girls and try to get a club where “you are nobody….” This is a sickness, ladies and gentlemen, and we are not paying attention to these children. These are children. They don’t know anything. They don’t have anything. They’re homeless people. All they know how to do is beg. And you give it to them, trying to win their friendship. And what are they good for? And then they stand there in an orange suit and you drop to your knees: “He didn’t do anything. He didn’t do anything.” Yes, he did do it. And you need to have an orange suit on, too.

So, ladies and gentlemen, I want to thank you for the award — and giving me an opportunity to speak because, I mean, this is the future, and all of these people who lined up and done — they’ve got to be wondering what the hell happened. Brown V. Board of Education — these people who marched and were hit in the face with rocks and punched in the face to get an education and we got these knuckleheads walking around who don’t want to learn English. I know that you all know it. I just want to get you as angry that you ought to be. When you walk around the neighborhood and you see this stuff, that stuff’s not funny. These people are not funny anymore. And that‘s not my brother. And that’s not my sister. They’re faking and they’re dragging me way down because the state, the city, and all these people have to pick up the tab on them because they don’t want to accept that they have to study to get an education.

We have to begin to build in the neighborhood, have restaurants, have cleaners, have pharmacies, have real estate, have medical buildings instead of trying to rob them all. And so, ladies and gentlemen, please, Dorothy Height, where ever she’s sitting, she didn’t do all that stuff so that she could hear somebody say “I can’t stand algebra, I can’t stand…” and “what you is.” It’s horrible.

Basketball players — multimillionaires can’t write a paragraph. Football players, multimillionaires, can’t read. Yes. Multimillionaires. Well, Brown v. Board of Education, where are we today? It’s there. They paved the way. What did we do with it? The White Man, he’s laughing — got to be laughing. 50 percent drop out — rest of them in prison.

You got to tell me that if there was parenting — help me — if there was parenting, he wouldn’t have picked up the Coca Cola bottle and walked out with it to get shot in the back of the head. He wouldn’t have. Not if he loved his parents. And not if they were parenting! Not if the father would come home. Not if the boy hadn’t dropped the sperm cell inside of the girl and the girl had said, “No, you have to come back here and be the father of this child.” Not ..“I don’t have to.”

Therefore, you have the pile up of these sweet beautiful things born by nature — raised by no one. Give them presents. You’re raising pimps. That’s what a pimp is. A pimp will act nasty to you so you have to go out and get them something. And then you bring it back and maybe he or she hugs you. And that’s why pimp is so famous. They’ve got a drink called the “Pimp-something.” You all wonder what that’s about, don’t you? Well, you’re probably going to let Jesus figure it out for you. Well, I’ve got something to tell you about Jesus. When you go to the church, look at the stained glass things of Jesus. Look at them. Is Jesus smiling? Not in one picture. So, tell your friends. Let’s try to do something. Let’s try to make Jesus smile. Let’s start parenting. Thank you, thank you.

Didn’t know what a Viking steak was and looked it up. Basically, it’s a prime rib cutlet.

Trust Cronkite to pay top price for a cut that includes the bone. Boneheaded comes to mind.

Viking cutlets are a premium cut of beef. They are a bone in scotch fillet and are cut approximately 4-5cm thick. … Viking Cutlets are approximately 500g.

Rachelle Miller threatens to withdraw from inquiry into Alan Tudge allegations

If Ms Miller were to withdraw from the investigation it would call into question the credibility of the Thom inquiry and raise fresh questions about how the federal government will address Ms Miller’s complaints.

It would also create a political problem for Mr Morrison as, heading into an election year, Mr Tudge’s return to the frontbench – and his future in politics – would remain under a cloud.

The shortcomings outlined by Ms Miller’s solicitor about the inquiry include that it can’t look at “any conduct which may amount to a criminal offence”.

Criminal offence?
I don’t think breach of promise has been a criminal act since the 19th Century. So, that must have been a pretty hefty kick out of bed then.

Or perhaps just an additional career-wrecking calumny.

From the latest TGA report:

The TGA has identified 11 reports of death that were linked to vaccination from 705 reports received and reviewed.

..
Let us make the dubious assumption that the TGA has rigorously chased down every death due to the vaccines.
Who is going to compensate the families of these people with deaths admitted to be linked to the drug? Including the 34 year old mother?
Of course, one suspects that the data is corrupted and anyone who didn’t drop dead immediately on the day of, or immediately after vaccination is conveniently not reported at all.
We will have to wait for statistical analysis of excess deaths to get any clue other than the anecdotal as to if giving vaxxed to those outside vulnerable groups was something we mostly got away with or an utter disaster.

If you get on with your butcher, as I do, he’ll thick cut the Viking and you can then sear it on both sides and bake it for a short time. But really it has to be rare in the middle. All you need is some olive oil in the pan and a sprinkling of pepper. Pre-heat the pan, really hot and sear on both sides. A bit of salad, garlic dressing and some thick cut chips. That’s as good as it gets.
