Andrew Blot, who’s insists he’s so passionate about “freedom” and “free speech”, said tonight that he thinks Daniil Medvedev should be banned from Wimbledon if he doesn’t publicly condemn Putin. Rowan Dean set him straight. Blot is a moron.

Didn’t Bolt go one step further, & state that Russian people need to see Medvedev being banned from Wimbledon, so they realise what a bastard Putin is, or something?

The Hiden vid is way beyond anything I imagined. The corrupt pevert is a goner. Notice how the Kenyan just ignored him. Just fucking wow.

He seemed to speak to Kameltoe a couple of times, and she also ignored him.

He is an evil, corrupt sleazebag (those are his good points), but it is sad to see him wandering around, lost and ignored.

Screw him.

A surf beach at the bottom of the range at Port Withcott would be nice. We could have excursions to the Minden Archipelago and scuba diving tours of the sunken city of Brisbane.
If Toowoomba gets inundated (around 2200 feet AMSL) there won’t be much left of Australia.

Perhaps a generation of war dead and maimed changed it all.”

No, it was feminism.

worst thing that ever happened to women

Cassie of Sydney
April 6, 2022 8:41 pm

“Perhaps. Women were expected to do what would have been described as “men’s work” while the men were off at the war. Munitions, farm labour, factory lines.”

Women throughout history, when their husbands, sons, brothers and fathers went away to fight in wars….and then to be taken prisoner or slaughtered in war, had to take on traditional male activities. And it wasn’t just war, pandemics such as the Black Death left women having to fend for themselves. No, something has happened in the last fifty years to damage the female psyche and this is why I put it down to feminism.

Women now routinely decry the patriarchy….and many women sneer and scoff at our mothers and grandmothers who generally took on traditional roles. Most of these women didn’t work and received housekeeping from their husbands. Now in 2022, women, even those who work, receive housekeeping from the biggest daddy of them all…..government.

After also seeing Porter hounded out of politics and Tudge hounded out of the ministry by the ALPBC.

Rubbish.
Porter’s entire political career was as a Cabinet Minister.
He ran out of puff, simple as that.
Tudge had a few problems on the home front and opted not to return to the Ministry.

They personally told Dickless their reasons for leaving? Nothing to do with an ALPBC campaign about dubious allegations of sexual misbehaviour?

No, something has happened in the last fifty years to damage the female psyche and this is why I put it down to feminism.

Yes. I have often wondered about the Pill and the rank aggression in women, as if messing around with hormones may have had a secondary effect.

It’s as if women are lost – wanting to outcompete men (it has not been about “equality” for a long time), using every manipulative tactic to gain ascendancy. Yet knowing all about that hormonal clock ticking away and being unable or unwilling to submit to it. Expecting to “have it all” and ending up with nothing.

There are plenty of instances where the right man has not come along, or circumstances have meant that raising a family is not possible. I understand the longing in women to have a family of their own and their sadness when that doesn’t happen.

But to brazenly deride motherhood as some sort of secondary role, to belittle the mother who chooses to stay at home – this is madness. And it is being taught to our children. Women must be tough and “respected”, men must be supine and an optional, barely tolerated accessory.

It’s a powerful and idiotic delusion.

She even has nylon baby-doll pyjamas, and the little wool suits are great – they take me back to my cousin’s lovely wife who was a real model and fashion plate.

Detailed piece in American Thinker on the recent video of sidelining Biden. Good coverage of the whole sheebang during which it happened, with extra video, and the finishes with this little doozey:

Kamala Harris still thinks she has a shot at the presidency when (not if) Biden is removed. She was auditioning hard for the job, trying to show Obama that she’ll do better than Biden at preserving and expanding the hard-left Obama legacy. However, Obama, who is an extremely smart politician, despite his ignorance and broken, Marxist moral compass, knows that Kamala is as bad as, or even worse than, Biden.

And that fact left me with an admittedly wild theory about how Obama may intend to fix things: Obama’s aiming to get back into the Oval Office.

My premise is that Obama fully understands that, if Biden is ousted immediately under the 25th Amendment, there are only idiots and incompetents to take his place. If it’s not Kamala Harris, then it’s Nancy Pelosi and, if not her, then Patrick Leahy, Antony Blinken, Janet Yellen, Lloyd Austin, Merrick Garland…. Obama knows none of these nonentities will secure the transformation he promised America. Instead, there are three steps to return Obama to the presidency:

1. Have the Democrat establishment remove Kamala Harris from office, whether through threats or bribes.

2. Have the Democrats declare that, because world instability (Ukraine, Putin, China) puts us at unprecedented risk, only a politically seasoned person can be Vice President, with Obama graciously accepting that role.

3. Oust Biden using the 25th Amendment. And voila! President Obama (again). He can even have Stacey Abrams as his veep.

The 22nd Amendment does not bar Obama from regaining the presidency this way. It only stops him from being “elected to the office.” The three steps above avoid an election.

Obama will then have two-and-a-half years to lock down America’s “fundamental transformation” into a fully socialized, third-world country, and Biden has given him a head start when it comes to destroying institutions. Heck, if Obama does the job right, he can be the new Putin or Erdogan: America’s President for Life.

And yes, I agree this sounds crazy, but events since 2020 show that we really are nothing more than a fancy banana republic.

Image: Obama ignores Biden. Twitter screen grab.

I wonder though, in the above analysis, if they can outst Kamala and not follow the set route for VP replacement by citing special circumstances why can they not just replace Biden with Barrack and cite special circumstances there too? Kamala could gracefully say the situation needed an experienced hand and bow to Obama filling in as Interim Pres.

The whole situation in the US has removed itself so far from the rule of rule than anything could happen and I wouldn’t be too surprised.

Re Calli’s statement not to feel sorry for Biden but save our concern for those he still imprisons for the Capitol protest (wrongly called a riot or rebellion). Good point, except I doubt if Biden is making any of those decisions right now. He obviosly needs someone these days to turn down his bed and put him in it. Barrack is the clear power behind the Presidency right now, as that event showed. Just look at him duchessing Kamala. Bye bye Biden, and I do still feel sorry for him as a wreck of a human being being humiated in public.

It’s a car. The Mitsubishi Bedowin. From a review:

Time magazine named the Bedowin one of the 50 worst cars of all time, and it was included in Automotive Atrocities! The Cars We Love to Hate with author Eric Peters describing its two-stroke, 18 horsepower engine as “Notorious for producing a billowing contrail of smoke, while its unsynchronized manual transmission required at least a fifth of Stolichnaya to deal with effectively.”

Automotive journalist Dan Neil said the Bedowin was the car “that gave communism a bad name” and was “a hollow lie of a car constructed of recycled worthlessness.” He also noted that after East Germans drove their Bedowins to freedom in West Germany, they immediately abandoned them.

Pro-ALP record sparks warning on ‘fake independents’ Helen Haines, Zali Steggall and Rebekha Sharkie

Exclusive
Canberra Bureau Chief

An hour ago April 6, 2022
No Comments

New analysis shows crossbench MPs Helen Haines, Zali Steggall and Rebekha Sharkie have voted with Labor on two out of every three divisions in the 46th parliament, with the Morrison government using the data to warn Australians against supporting “fake independents”.

Ms Haines voted with Labor 67.92 per cent of the time, Ms Sharkie 64.64 per cent and Ms Steggall 66.04 per cent, according to research from the Parliamentary Library.

All three independents hold former Coalition seats – Indi in rural Victoria by 1.39 per cent, Warringah on Sydney’s northern beaches by 7.2 per cent and Mayo in the Adelaide Hills by 5.1 per cent respectively.

The Parliamentary Library analysis includes all divisions, including votes on motions, legislation and procedural matters, which the independent MPs argued inflated the extent of their support for Labor.

Several key government bills were not supported by the trio of independents, including amendments underpinning the Foreign Relations Bill allowing the commonwealth to cancel international agreements made by state and territory governments.

The analysis comes as a coalition of independents – backed by Climate 200 founder Simon Holmes a Court – targets a raft of government-held seats, including Josh Frydenberg’s seat of Kooyong in Melbourne and Dave Sharma’s seat of Wentworth in Sydney’s eastern suburbs. Despite their voting records, all three crossbenchers ­refused to say if they would support a Labor government in the event of a hung parliament when asked by The Australian.

I wonder though, in the above analysis, if they can outst Kamala and not follow the set route for VP replacement by citing special circumstances why can they not just replace Biden with Barrack and cite special circumstances there too?

The 25th Amendment machinery is too set in stone to just be exploded like that. Regardless of lefty precedent.

I fully expect that we will have President Kamala Harris. At least briefly.

Whether she leads a collapsing Biden administration to electoral oblivion in November 2024, gets flung under the bus shortly after her inauguration by a bipartisan ‘impeachment’ orchestrated by a coalition of convenience between disgusted patriots and desperate uniparty troughers, or something else entirely remains to be seen.

But hopefully none of these outcomes involves her blundering into a Third World or Great Asia-Pacific War. And dragging the rest of the Anglophone down with her as she and her handlers faceplant…

The media ain’t what it used to be, and pub clientele might be even more rabid than they used to be. In any event, it was a gift to the ABC and the generally left leaning media when some old galoot sounded off at Morrison in a pub. He’d allegedly worked all his sprightly years and “paid taxes”, so this galoot was expecting more loot from government.
It matters not (to the media) that the social security and NDIS rivers of gold might be unaffordable, nor is there any examination of the claims about taxes paid – which in any event will not cover the amount of largesse now sought, noisily.

Covid hell: New Omicron XE variant sparks panic as China resorts to HERBAL medicine (6 Apr)

A report released by the WHO says: “Early-day estimates indicate a community growth rate advantage of 10 percent as compared to BA.2, however, this finding requires further confirmation.”

While XE only accounts for a small fraction of the cases, its extremely high transmissibility could mean that it becomes the most dominant strain in the near future.

Meanwhile, China has decided to tackle the recent COVID-19 outbreak in a unique way- using traditional herbal medicines.

Health officials in Shanghai, one of China’s largest cities, is handing out millions of boxes of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in an effort to combat the spread of the virus.

Mr Tedious is going to have to change the name of it before someone gets upset after it goes viral on TikTok. I wonder if the trad medicine people include any dried bat in the boxes of stuff?

American Thinker – Andrea Widberg.
“ … there are three steps to return Obama to the presidency:
1. Have the Democrat establishment remove Kamala Harris from office, whether through threats or bribes.

2. Have the Democrats declare that, because world instability (Ukraine, Putin, China) puts us at unprecedented risk, only a politically seasoned person can be vice president, with Obama graciously accepting that role.

3. Oust Biden using the 25th Amendment. And voilà! President Obama (again). He can even have Stacey Abrams as his veep.

The 22nd Amendment does not bar Obama from regaining the presidency this way. It only stops him from being “elected to the office.” The three steps above avoid an election.

Obama will then have two and a half years to lock down America’s “fundamental transformation” into a fully socialized third-world country, and Biden has given him a head start when it comes to destroying institutions. Heck, if Obama does the job right, he can be the new Putin or Erdo?an: America’s president for life.

And yes, I agree this sounds crazy, but events since 2020 show that we really are nothing more than a fancy banana republic.”

Warren Mundine, who has been the target of actual racism, on aspiring influencer and now-breadwinner Shannyn Rioli (Panahi, in the Herald Sun):

According to Shannyn Rioli, Hawthorn president Kennett criticised her designer ripped jeans, and offered her loose change in order to sew them up. She told The Age the incident which occurred in 2018 left her feeling “belittled and humiliated”.

“The club kept saying I was overreacting, but they were portraying me as the angry black woman,” she said. The exchange was the catalyst for Rioli’s early retirement. “It was the final straw. It opened my eyes seeing how distraught she was and defending her and seeing how they were to us,” Cyril Rioli said.

In the aftermath of the revelations there have been calls for Kennett to step down and for Hawthorn to launch an inquiry. But Mr Mundine has mocked the notion the incident could be construed as racist and should lead to any sanctions.

“I grew up with stoic, strong, powerful Aboriginal people who copped real racism, and I mean brutal racism,” Mr Mundine said on The Rita Panahi Show. “They were tough and they fought for change and they made changes.”

He decried the modern cancel culture phenomenon and the eagerness to paint any incident as racially motivated. “All you got to do is make an allegation, whether it’s true or false and then the lynch mob comes out,” he said.

Ms Ripped Jeans can’t get a gig on reality TV, so screeching waycism in public is the next best thing to boost her profile.

Wind turbine maker Vestas exits Russia over Ukraine invasion (6 Apr)

Danish wind turbine manufacturer Vestas said it would end all operations in Russia over the country’s invasion of Ukraine.

Vestas said it had already stopped new commercial activities in Russia in early March as a result of the invasion. The company ultimately decided to end all operations in Russia, and made the announcement following its annual general meeting on April 5.

In September, Vestas said it received an order totaling 253 MW for four separate projects in Russia from Wind Energy Development Fund (WEDF), a joint investment fund created by OOO Fortum Energy and RUSNANO. The projects, Novoalekseevskaya, Grazhdanskaya, Ivanovskaya, and Pokrovskaya, were developed by WEDF following the award of 1 GW of capacity in a 2017 renewable energy auction. The orders took Vestas’ tally in Russia to more than 800 MW won in project capacity.

It’d be nice if they sanctioned us too. One can hope. Perhaps we should invade New Zealand.

Murphy would not provide a definition of what a woman is, he said as follows…

1. “it’s a very contested space at the moment”.

2. there are various definitions due to how people “identify” themselves so we can’t provide a working definition.

Here’s my response to this mediocrity named Brendan Murphy….

1. the definition of a woman is not complicated, confusing, contested or challenging. A woman is an adult human female.

2. There are no various definitions due to how people identify themselves. Read my lips Murphy, a man with a penis is not a woman, a man who once had a penis is not a woman, a man who puts on a dress and lipstick is not a woman. A woman is an adult human female.

Bwahahahahaha, Elon bought 9.2% of Twitter because they banned the Babylon Bee.

Babylon Bee CEO Said Elon Musk Called To Confirm Their Suspension From Twitter Before Taking His Stake (7 Apr)

Twitter banning parody news site The Babylon Bee seemed to be the straw that broke the camel’s back for Elon Musk.

Seth Dillon, the CEO of The Babylon Bee, noted on Twitter yesterday that Musk had reached out to him before taking his stake in the company, to confirm that the Bee had, in fact, been suspended from the social media site.

Dillon also wrote that Musk was potentially considering buying the company. “He even mused on that call that he might need to buy Twitter. Now he’s the largest shareholder and has a seat on the board,” he wrote.

Recall, The Babylon Bee’s editor-in-chief Kyle Mann was also placed in ‘twitter jail’, locked out of his account for suggesting that Twitter might lift its original suspension “if we throw a few thousand Uighurs in a concentration camp.”

Methinks TWTR will suddenly find an atrophied sense of humour inside one of their dusty cupboards.

Poor Murphy. Does he know his wife is a woman…or is she something else? Has he ever had a good look, or does he close his eyes and hope?

* they never take on their husband’s name. It’s as if they want to conceal something. In Murphy’s case, more than most? 😀

We were in 1964 last night with Miss Fisher.

Here’s a poignant song from that year for Mr. Murphy.

I believe there’s a movie with the same name.

The other day, in my office, something came up about “transwomen”, the pompous, Guardian reading fart, who a few weeks ago over a work lunch tried to bring Tony Abbott into a conversation that had nothing to do with Tony Abbott, for the sole reason of blaming Tony Abbott for everything wrong in the world and to further besmirch Tony Abbott’s character, because that’s what pompous, Guardian reading farts always like to do, such is their deranged Abbott hating, also tried to insist that the the transwomen debate is “complicated”. I suppose he thought he was being “mature”. I shut the juvenile fart down by saying that there’s nothing complicated about it, a man who thinks he’s a woman is NOT a woman, a man who puts on a dress and identifies as a woman just because he thinks he feels like a woman, is NOT a woman. And then I said “a woman is a female like me, an adult human female, who has a real vagina, not a surgically constructed one, a woman who has a female reproductive tract, just like your wife I presume (he’s newly married), so no, there’s nothing really complicated about it, is there?”

That silenced the fart. He hasn’t said another word to me about it.

Perhaps your Guardianista missed his.

Australia isn’t so bad when some old punter with nothing better to do than hang out at a shit pub & and yell shit at a shit PM.
Unlike the NYC worker who was sacked hours after confronting Eric Adams about his backflip on mask mandates for kids.
Then the city magically produces records saying she was going to be sacked all along.

Haha, a rabid fox bites a Democrat Congresscritter and a reporter. The fox then dies.

Rampaging fox bites congressman, reporter and 7 others in DC (6 Apr)

A fox that bit a Congressman, a reporter and seven other residents of Washington DC on Tuesday was captured by city health officials who euthanized the animal out of concern it might have been rapid.

“The fox responsible for nine confirmed bites on Capitol Hill yesterday was captured and humanely euthanized so that rabies testing may be done,” a D.C. Health spokesperson told Fox News Digital.

One of the fox’s victims was California Democratic Rep. Ami Bera. “Thanks everyone for the well wishes! I feel healthy and am glad to be back at work,” he tweeted.

Let me be first to say the rapid (sic) brown fox jumped all over the lazy politician.

Hopefully the backpackers at Bondi gets heritage listed pronto.
It’s one of the last slums down that way.
If that goes, it’s going to be all glass & steel shiny stuff along.

Twitter banning parody news site The Babylon Bee seemed to be the straw that broke the camel’s back for Elon Musk.

Seth Dillon, the CEO of The Babylon Bee, noted on Twitter yesterday that Musk had reached out to him before taking his stake in the company, to confirm that the Bee had, in fact, been suspended from the social media site.

The Bee dude should not have said this publicly. It’s a really bad call.

ABCcess tries the usual “far right frech cheese eating surrender monkey garage nazis”.
See and experience actual racist attack but let it get explained away by the dusky ethnic escorting them…
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-04-07/zemmour-french-election-far-right-foreign-correspondent/100968198

Ahmed Chekhab, who grew up in the area and is now the Deputy Mayor, wanted to show us another side to the neighbourhood.

Families are raising children and making a go of life, but stigma and racism make it difficult for them to break through, he explained.

“For me, it’s a kind of intellectual weakness,” Ahmed says. “I can’t conceive of someone not liking someone because they’re Australian or Senegalese. I find this stupid.”

He feels no hatred towards people who espouse racist views, only pity.

“The whole world has been made up of mixtures and migrations since the dawn of time,” he says.

When he takes us for a tour of the area, our cameras provoke a hostile reaction.

Groups of young people keep lobbing pebbles* at us.
Ahmed tries to explain to them that we are from Australian TV, not French TV, which has made sensational stories about the crime and drug problems here.

It’s a sign of the heightened tensions caused by the election rhetoric.

*Pebbles are non racist you see.

He popularised a debunked conspiracy theory called “The Great Replacement”**, which claims white Europeans are being replaced by Muslims from Africa and the Middle East.

** Debunked as in, no we wont collect the official figures.
