Pfizer From the Vaccination Center to a hospital. 16-year-old teen couldn’t handle Pfizer’s first dose.
Also, it must be noted that those who are particularly old, frail and have certain co-morbidities – ie. people who are very likely to develop life-threatening Covid symptoms – are also very likely to be unable to tolerate the vaccines due to their weakened immune systems and thus will not have been vaxxed for medical reasons.
Notice that, when we’re told the numbers of unvaxxed who are in hospital, in ICU or have died, we aren’t told *why* they’re unvaxxed. I suspect that if we were provided with that information, if we knew how many of the unvaxxed were medically exempt from the vax, the numbers would be even more damaging to the narrative.

In response to people being disgusted by a few of their creations artists coined the justification “Good! Art should shock you. It should be confronting!”
Nonsense of course – what is the point of just shocking someone. You can shock people with any number of things that are pointless. And the shock only works once. The greatest works of art have inspired, or revealed something about human nature or ideas, given form to beliefs, given new perspectives and so on.
Art can confront, like The Shootings of May 3 1808, but that is just the the first moments, not the end.
(If the same painting were to be made today I would expect it to be a piece of canvas with thickly caked cow blood and fragments of bone. The people removed and the context removed because the tragedy need not be tied to just one people of one event. It would be about all violence, all war, all white men, all disasters including climate change and capitalism, about the violence endured by transsexuals, indigenous people, and of non-vegans.)
So they take this clumsy defence (Art is meant to shock), turn it around, and produce their guiding principle: Art is what shocks. No matter how bad it is, if it fills people with revulsion, then it is art. It has affected them, it has made them uncomfortable (shaken them from their mental stupor), it has made them see something they would not have otherwise.
And so art has degenerated into body functions – and the meaning the dullest left wing bromides that are anything but new.
Only something as stupid, as destitute in sensibility, as chaotic, and as easily duped as a government will pay for it, and so it does.
Are you watching too much CNN? Know the warning signs:
1. You think the pandemic is still going on. If you find yourself saying “When the pandemic is over…” or “the new normal,” you might be watching too much CNN.
2. You still think one of these investigations is going to “get” Trump. The walls are closing in. Any day now.
3. You haven’t left your house in two years. Time to turn off the CNN and go outside, people.
4. You haven’t heard of any of Biden’s foreign or domestic failures. You think the president’s doing a “pretty good job” and haven’t caught wind of any kind of disasters.
5. You still call ivermectin “horse medicine”. Oh no! Your brain has been infected!
6. You walk by a fiery riot and think to yourself, “Ah, what a peaceful protest. Mostly, anyway.” If this is your immediate instinct, check with a medical professional. You may have an oversaturation of CNN.
7. You’re at the airport a lot. This is less a symptom and more a root cause, but if you’re at the airport, you’re probably watching lots of CNN.
8. You drop to the floor and convulse any time you see a MAGA hat. The longer you roll around in the fetal position, the more CNN you probably watch.
9. You watch any CNN at all. Even one second is too much. Just say no.
If these nine signs describe you, don’t suffer alone: get help today. We here at The Babylon Bee are ready to deliver you fake news you can actually trust on a daily basis.
“The book has accounts of families of fifteen people, in three bedrooms, sharing a kitchen and an outside toilet with two other families…”
Yep…that was common…..Jean McConville, born to a Ulster Protestant family, had met her Catholic husband back in the early 1950s. They married, she converted to Catholicism (and her family cut her off)….she was never particularly welcomed by her husband’s family either. Jean was always pregnant, her husband died and she lived, with her children, in a three room flat in a high rise. The poverty was grueling.

Many months ago I saw a thing on the web where a couple of serious looking people in white coats explained that to fix that problem, the solution was to place some sticky tape across the top of the mask with half the tape protruding above the mask edge. Place the mask on your face as normal then stick the tape above the mask to your face thereby creating a seal.
In other words, tape it down to your face. Seriously.

Of course it’s blowharding. There is nothing an accountant can do for you to lower the tax rate unless it’s dealing with super.
An accountant can only do what you give him as revenue and expenses. That’s it so stop talking crap.
No-one except the legislature can lower a “tax rate”. An accountant can lower what would otherwise be someone’s tax liability. As a most basic example, a trader can elect to value trading stock at year end at cost, market value or replacement value. A competent accountant would always check which of those will produce the best tax result. Similarly, depreciation can (usually) be claimed on the basis of prime cost or diminishing value, and can (in most cases) be claimed on the Commissioner’s published “effective life” of the asset or the taxpayer’s own estimate. Again, a competent accountant will consider those matters.
Even apart from those statutory elections, there are of course numerous things an accountant might advise on, such as where a trust is involved in the business or asset owning structure and a year end decision needs to be made as to which beneficiary gets the trust distribution.
JC, if your accountant has never lowered your tax bill you’ve probably been seriously ripped off.

I am being ripped off but for a different reason. I have two trusts imbedded in a Corp structure. I feel, not that I’ve checked , that a simple Corp structure would have been better. Trusts just eat up fees I think. 🙂

Ah yes, the “public lavatory flasher” school of art, as funded by Australia’s taxpayers for many years.
Perhaps I’m just a hopelessly petit-bourgeoise philistine, but I don’t recall being shocked or confronted gazing upwards in the Sistine Chapel. But then, no doubt, Michelangelo would never have got a taxpayer funded grant in modern Australia.

We knew people who were offered a yuuuge amount of cash as part settlement for a house in St Kilda.
Potential buyers were brothel owners*.
The vendors seemed to think it was a good idea.
As I said to them, “Why swap a tax free asset for someone else’s tax problem? And it would be a risk banking it because it becomes reportable. So then you have to hold the cash and drip-feed it out.”.
But the clincher?
“They are brothel owners. Yes, yes, ‘legit business these days’ but they associate with some dodgy people. Word will leak out and I’ll bet someone will turn up at 2 o’clock one morning wanting the cash.”
The end.
…
* Mrs Vendor was something of a Hyacinth Bucket. The purchasers were going to live in the property themselves. But Mrs Panzer couldn’t resist … “Actually, it wouldn’t take much to convert it to a brothel”.
Mrs Bucket did not see the funny side.

Last Tango in Paris. Had something about butter.
The other issue with the cash for house scheme they didn’t think of was “when are they going to pay the cash?”
The answer came, “On settlement I suppose.”
“Wrong answer. You’ve got a house worth $1.2 meg. They sign a contract for $1 meg with a verbal agreement to pay $200k cash on settlement. Ot has to be verbal otherwise it defeats the money-laundering purpose of the deal. Come settlement and they say, ‘what $200k?’ and snap your house up under the odds. If you do it, the cash has to paid at contract signing.”
…
“Would they do that?”
FMD.
Did the settlement involve pebblecrete replacement at all?
The biosecurity state they created 2010-2020 created one great big feedlot, and we’re all cattle now.

It’s not hyperbole by the way. A while ago I linked to a biosecurity policy paper that was signed by both the Chief Health Officer and the Chief Veterinary Officer. It dealt with animals and humans under one umbrella: “biosecurity”, and included disease surveillance, movement controls, vaccination tracking, for humans and animals in the one paper.

Andrew Forrest backs green hydrogen industry as feasible and profitable (DT, 2 Feb)
Not only has the Tele given space to Twiggy to spruik this tax-sucking bullcrud but they’ve even taken down the paywall for his stupid article. Gah.
It is trivial to show green hydrogen is totally uneconomic. It takes 50kWh/kg, which means say $15/kg for a fairly ordinary 30c/kW electricity price. Hydrogen contains 143 MJ/kg, so this translates to 15 x 1000/143 = $105/GJ. AEMO’s current gas price is $10/GJ, and that’s humungous, it should be less than half that. So even with an inflated gas price green hydrogen is still 10 times more expensive. And it’s going to get worse since renewable energy is relentlessly driving up the electricity price.
To be sure, but you never hear of the likes of a BiL’s mam’s Ulster Catholic family.

Twiggy has always drunk his bath water. Good on him for stopping others.

Give me Gina any day. A great woman.
A guy from school worked with Twiggy at Murrin Murrin. He left and made a literal fortune from a discarded BHP mine in Bangladesh. Haven’t seen him for years. Was in London for decades relieving Poms of their hard earned via the AIM.
“To be sure, but you never hear of the likes of a BiL’s mam’s Ulster Catholic family.
All country houses and Swiss finishing schools.”
To be sure, but I doubt she was the majority.
Protestants in Ulster also lived in grinding poverty however they didn’t suffer the same marginalisation and stigmatisation, especially when it came to work, that Catholics suffered.
I’m no apologist for the murderous evil garbage that is the IRA and its political wing….Sinn Fein…..and Gerry Adams, without a doubt, was involved in McConville’s murder. Adams, Martin McGuinness and others were murderers however I also think Ian Paisley was utterly evil and he incited pogroms against Catholics. I do understand why Ulster Protestants didn’t and don’t want to be part of a unified Ireland, why would they, to be a marginalised and stigmatised minority?
It’s complicated.
Is that akin to “World’s Most Livable City”?
The British author, Robin Neillands – he wrote on the subject of the “Troubles’- commented to the barman, in a Belfast pub one day, that he could never see the sense of violence in the name of religion, “but. maybe, that’s because I’m an agnostic.”
“To be sure” replied the barman “That wouldn’t work here. You would have to be a Protestant agnostic or a Catholic agnostic.”
The great Philip Castle thought so too.
You want a feeling of impending DOOOOOOMMMM!!!!

I don’t know how it works in NY state.
Armed robbery will no longer attract felony charges.
So the laws on the books say it’s a felony, but the DA will selectively charge perps with lesser charges.
Now jump across to Virginia.
School kids in certain counties who show up maskless will be charged with trespassing.
Which is a felony in Virginia.
Meaning a crim in NY who commits armed robbery will be able to apply for a gun licence (as long as they have no felony convictions).
But a 16 kid in Virginia who shows up to school sans mask will not be able to apply a gun licence ever.

Is Scumbag Morrison joking?
“Scott Morrison has backed West Australian Premier Mark McGowan’s decision to keep the state’s borders shut, saying the Labor leader has done an “incredible job”.
Speaking to Perth radio on Thursday morning, the Prime Minister said he believed Mr McGowan had done the right thing by deferring the decision to reopen WA up to the rest of the country, despite his previous promise to remove draconian border restrictions on February 5.
“That’s the Premier’s call. He has to make the decision based on what he thinks the hospital system is ready to absorb,” Mr Morrison told 6PR Perth.

Cassie, I do not think Morrison is joking, but he is a fool.
He thinks that by being nice and supportive of McGowan, that the large majority vote McGowan received will all vote for the LNP at the election.
University of Wollongong have sent out an email to all staff asking for faculty to provide accommodation for international students.
That’s true, and he fails to realise that statements like that piss off the base even more. He’s not guaranteed to pick up any votes in Perth with statements like that but he’ll lose votes in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.

Paisley praise is rare and usually unwarranted.
When in Ulster I had a long conversation with a retired parliamentarian, doctor and Protestant.
This gentleman summed up Paisley very succinctly “He’s a just bigot”

Crossby, Stills and Nash to withdraw music from Spotify…
Like, who cares.
A study by Johns Hopkins in the USA has found that lockdowns don’t work; they reduce mortality by a piddling 0.2% while causing vast damage to people’s mentality, their ability to work and earn, and to the economy as a whole.
Dr. Marty Makary from that institution said that it became evident fairly early on (using Italy as a source of data) that the major impact of COVID-19 was on those over 65 and those with co-morbidities.
Most of us have known these things for a long time as well, but our politicians and our home-grown “health advisers” have failed big time, particularly those in ALP run states.
Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young have failed to “teach the children well”.
The Spotify thing is getting quite funny.
All these rock solid individualists marching in lock step.

My local Lib member will be whoring himself out at the Bay City Sauna after this election. Safe seat, but I reckon this is gonna be an epic tidal wave.
Anything under a 8-9% margin is likely to be ‘in play’ and those LNP under about 5% are in serious trouble. Of course the swings will not be uniform but only those north of 9% can continue to be smug – the tide won’t reach that far. If the election result pans out the way many expect (and the polls, for what they’re worth, seem to support), a big issue for the major parties is the loss of first preference votes due to bleed to the minor parties. On a 2PP basis the incumbent can look ok but the actual security of their tenure in the seat could be relatively narrow.
This next election looks like it will be a cracker!

Lizzie, I missed that vicious and despicable comment by Johanna, it was utterly nasty and it is a reflection on her…not you. She’s jealous of you and she behaves like an adolescent school girl in the school yard.
I know you to be a kind, gracious and intelligent woman who is a valued friend to many here, including myself. I (and my other half) count ourselves lucky to have you and Hairy as friends.
I know the upticks add salt to the wound but many here value your input. Having said that, we women are sensitive to some things and I understand your sensitivity about the upticks, I would find it demoralising too. But can you just try to tell her to FUCK OFF. She writes many good comments but when she goes off at you for no reason whatsoever she’s like a rabies infected hyena.
And remember, you have many friends here.
Where is that study being reported, Anchor?
If it is being merely reported (if not endorsed) by mainstream left wing sites like CNN or MSNBC then it would be a massive deal.
If just places like Fox, NewsMax, and those blogs that have already been skeptical about Covid measures then it is just another Thursday.
Words of wisdom.
Why, I used them myself just recently. They work you know.
Not nearly as entertaining for the peanut gallery as a fist fight, but we must keep our knuckles nice and trim and slim otherwise our magnificent Argyles won’t fit over them.

Witch-hunting is big right now. If you’re on Spotify it’s stake time.
This federal liberal gang – those left standing after the massive decade long battle to rid the Liberals of all of the people that were actually put there by the base, Abbott, etc, etc – have done their duty and dissolved Australia and helped us “transition” into the New Normal, and will now scuttle off to their boards and directorships and “international” positions.
Are you, or have you ever been, on Spotify?

They know, like really know, if they take down Rogan that about 30 million subscribers will walk.
Yet the Karens and the wokerati are after them bigly.
Oh for more popcorn, but the harvest has been bad this year.
Morriswine doesnt think “Youve had 2 years to build hospital capacity, you are sitting on a 6 Billion dollar surplus and all you have done is actually cancel some hospital expansions” would cut through?
The Liberal party spin team in action ladies and gentlemen.
I think also that a lot of people will only be deciding once they’re standing in the booth.
People will be highly negatively motivated by what they don’t want, rather than coming in with a clear positive intention.
Informal and Mr Dick N. Balls will do well.
So polls ain’t worth Jack.

Rogan, sitting on his $100,000,000 would be like “oh no, please dont cancel me from one platform so i have to negotiate a new contract with another provider, while keeping all the dough…
Spotify paid Rogan a reported $100 million for exclusive rights to his podcast
But when Albo renames it, watch the tongue bathing & the photo shoots.
Alarming turn of phrase!
Whatever Albo calls it, everyone will know it as R&T.
“Scott Morrison has backed West Australian Premier Mark McGowan’s decision to keep the state’s borders shut, saying the Labor leader has done an “incredible job”.
Makes sense if you assume Scummo is the one driving the destruction of Australia for his puppeteers.
I don’t normally go in for conspiracy theories, but that’s entirely feasible.
Yeah, I wondered about that too.
Beats me why fakebook showed me the Amnesty thing in the first place. I never look at any political stuff, belong to any political groups. Just use it for messenger chat.
Mind you, I did send a link to one of Pauline Hanson’s cartoons in messenger.
Fakebook probably thinks Pauline Hanson is right wing and therefore anti-semetic, so I’d like to see more hate!
The goading on Spotify to join the ranks of the oh so daring is not a patch on the art of upticking.
Makes sense if you assume Scummo is the one driving the destruction of Australia for his puppeteers.
Only explanation, he can’t be this fucking stupid and still breath unaided.

Scomo strategy should be to get Albo to speak more.
Yeah, Albo speaking is not a good thing. He has an annoying (nasal?) voice. The problem for Labor is that they need to ‘promote’ him as a viable alternative PM which means he has to be seen and heard. IMO he needs to take a step, even a very small one, to the Right. He needs to capture the LNP middle class undecided voter who may be unsettled if they perceive Labor as just too far to the Left. In that case the vote is lost to Labor as the voter may either reaffirm their LNP position (holding their nose) or move across to the independents.
If the ALP take a small step to the Right, more approaching the middle ground, that may capture some of the disaffected/swing LNP and simultaneously choke off a portion of the bleed to the independents.
The traditional Left base are going to vote for him anyway except the lunatic Left who will vote Green – whose preferences will flow to Labor.
Will Mr. Rubantug make it to election day without his dick messing things up?
I’m tipping that the ALP will install a replacement before May.
Saw on twitter that Morrison privately supports mandates.

I am now holding serious opinion that Scum has no intention of winning the next election.
Trumble’s pick. Probably a Liars plant.
Spell this out. What right should we not deny people on the off chance they choose to exercise it in an unapproved manner?
I said 3 things when Neil Young & Joni Mitchell made their announcements –
“Who?” and when I worked out it* “Shit are they STILL alive?” then when looking at footage “Christ they have got old”.
I am going to say the 3 things again.

Cafe Bruce news – Seduced newest kooka kid (ex penthouse) to sit on my hand for food this morning! His dad and older brother do too, but not mum, who won’t let me come nearer than about 3m.
Also a male peewee has just started tentatively to do likewise since yesterday. Mince, yum! He’s probably a previous Cafe customer since he was accepting food from my hand within a day or so of arriving a couple weeks ago.
I’ll try for some one-handed photos once they’re more acclimatized.

Australia and New Zealand are stand outs for the most draconian measures in the West

Dover, your enthusiasm for imposing your principles on others is matched only by the wokerati.
But it’s not really on the off-chance. A ‘single pregnant women’ applying for a passport so she can travel to a country with legal abortion is sort of nailing her intentions to the mast, especially if the trip is for a short stay.

Yep…which is why I go out of my way to subscribe to Quadrant and the Speccie, Sky News Australia and other things. And remember, this Quadrant defunding happened under a Liberal (cough) government.
That would be the sensible thing to do. So it won’t happen.
Yes, yes, when the English enthusiastically ‘imposed their principles’ on the subcontinent re Sati, this was only subsequently matched by the Wokerati too.
The unborn weren’t consulted but yes, they’ve got their wish now. Modern compassion for those poor pregnant women. Ireland has caught up. Ain’t it grand.
“If the ALP take a small step to the Right, more approaching the middle ground, that may capture some of the disaffected/swing LNP and simultaneously choke off a portion of the bleed to the independents.”
I wouldn’t believe them even if they tried the “small step to the right”…..I have a long memory and they tried that trick back in 2007. They deliberately tricked ordinary Australians.
Ain’t life wonderful when you get to spend other peoples money without accountability .. FFS!
The incompetence of the Australian Bureaucracy is incredible. $700 million worth of dumped PPE is just the tip of the iceberg.
Well they aren’t going to declare the intent for abortion so the only way is ban all single women from traveling. But hang on, some marred women have an abortions so ban all women that can have children from traveling.
Slippery slope.
Oh no!
Ben Roberts-Smith may have killed a Taliban bomb maker in cold blood.

The Labor right is perfectly capable of providing good government. The problem in the last 20 years is they form government with too many IOUs to their union paymasters and insufficient power against the Left faction. Each way Albo won’t help with either of these problems.
That’s but one example in many, of the draconian overreach & church control of public & personal life in Ireland.
Result: Ireland got a gay ethnic PM who set about the church in a culture war that (considering the starting point) makes some other western culture wars look tame.
For Ireland is a democracy.
The Liars are banking on most people having forgotten by now. They are probably correct. Albo, like Gillard, is another Left faction stalwart being given the media soft soap treatment (no pun intended) in the run up to the election.

And I sick to the utter death of you and your ilk, JWH. You have always been a prime hater of me, supporting a lunatic fixated and abusive woman who is turning this blog into a hate-fest. I have every right to defend myself against someone who initiated her recent attack, and has continued twice with the epithet of my being ‘a rat with a gold tooth’. This from someone who has a history her of lying about me and doxxing my husband. I will make any comment I like about gratuitous attacks when necessary if I am around (which is unlikely as I have better things to do).
The light-hearted and yet quality intellectual life that once was part of this place is diminished by haters, not by my occasional friendly comments on everyday matters as well as on history, health, media or politics. My general comments tend to be sporadic, as is my in and out attendance here. They should not disturb the aether too much They are of the sort which my female attacker makes with impugnity about herself, her impressions of her life and her own feelings. That in my view is the gross hypocrisy underlying her years-long and repetitive harrassment of me.
I am not personally resubscribing my own funds to be abused here. As with other media, if I get abused and told to be silent, then why pay for it?
Imagine if this total beta was your father:
COVID has taken all the joy out of parenting (again)
At least he can use his kid’s nappies when he runs out of his. I’m sure they fit fairly well, too.
Holy crap, that is terrible! Who knew toddlers behaved in such monstrous ways? It’s incredible this guy is still alive. I guess he’s managed to survive the toddler’s wrath due to his highly sensitive fear response and has been able to flee when shit gets heavy. I fear that soon his luck will run out and he’ll take a fatal blow to the head from a thrown dummy or something similarly brutal.
This toddler’s behaviour is erratic and unreasonable. He has some serious growing up to do. If only parents could do things to modify their child’s behaviour!
Well, it sounds like this guy just got unlucky with his. All of my children were/are incredible listeners when they were toddlers. I could tell them all of my problems, and they always provided a sympathetic ear and offered constructive advice that helped me develop as a person. In fact, my 1yo is my psycho-analyst. She’s helping me work through a lot of my childhood trauma that came from my parents expecting me to always be sensitive to their feel-feels when I was a baby.
Can you imagine living like this? Being in constant, pants-shitting terror of a not-particularly-serious virus, as well as anyone or thing that might infect you with it? Imagine being this pathetic and not realising how pathetic you are, to the extent that you publish your utterly pathetic struggles for everyone to read.
Yes, no wonder the human race has died out, because looking after one toddler is impossible. No one has figured out how to do it.
Why doesn’t the 2 year old realise you live in a small place and you’ve decided to hermetically seal you and your family inside so you don’t catch the Covid? If he did, surely he would behave more appropriately. Why doesn’t he see that you have needs, too? Intolerably selfish child! You didn’t sign up for this! Who could have foreseen that having a kid would make such an impact on your lifestyle? And what, are we all going to pretend that you didn’t have to cut yourself off from the rest of the world because of your totally rational fear of Covid? You had no choice! It’s about time the toddler starts appreciating the sacrifices you’ve made.
It’s such a mystery. How could spending every waking moment in a state of terror, barricaded in a tiny apartment and constantly tormented by the fear of catching Covid, be tiring? How could living with a mentality that you are trapped in an abusive relationship with a tyrannical, bullying 2 year old be tiring?
How is this person still alive. I seriously don’t know.
Sounds like a really tough job, you know, like being a high tension linesman in equatorial, dessert Africa.
Correct.
Now just watch Albo do it again.
He’s already making appropriate noises like “no new taxes” (except on multinationals) and supporting the “aspirational voter” while courting faith groups in Sydney’s western suburbs with a specially appointed envoy.
The centre-right Australian voter is like a long-suffering woman who’s just been jilted.
So along comes Albo with a bunch of roses and a box of chocolates.
I will be able to put it up later but today’s Covid story in Courier Mail is a cracker. They did a street survey in Good Coast and huge majority who they tested did not even have symptoms or know they were postive. CHO saying he thinks 1/3 had it. Plus today’s death figures include 3 over 100.
Bring on the boosters now !
Life is too short to read ALPBC Life.
Love the commentary.
My children were never that bad as toddlers.

Let’s say Morrison made it a policy to take to the 2022 fed election a ban on sex change operations for all non-intersex persons below the age of 18. Would anyone here oppose as part of this legislation a further law that allows for the refusal of a passport to children under 18 so their parent/s can take them to a country that performs sex change operations for non-intersex under 18? Beyond the practical considerations, what in-principle objections are there?
Me too, Fun and challenging.
I just saw your comment, Cass, and the fifteen others who agree with you, and it is heartening to have friends here still. I appreciate your support, but you should not have to come in to recommend me in order for friends to appear. Nor shoud I be the only one to tell Johanna she is out of order. I’ve done that countless times already, but fixated psychotic people gotta fixate. Till they seek help.
I think that there is so much unpleasantness around that like Arky I can’t enjoy being here much.
Good luck to those who still work to make this place what it once was; a fine place to be.
I have quite an important submission to write for my ‘church saving’ so will take some leave now.
