4 unruly teens beat, slash man on NYC train

It’s amazing that green-progs defunded the police, cried “racist” at anyone who criticized letting crims out without bail and generally made public transport a dangerous gamble.

I say that because of this story:

Green campaigners call for ban on flights and car use to slash £30bn Putin payout (Express, 8 Apr)

Green campaigners are demanding that European nations ban flights and fossil fuel vehicles to cut energy usage in the bloc, in a move against Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine.

According to a new report by climate adviser Mark Lynas, energy analyst Rauli Partanen, and energy and sustainability installations specialist Joris van Dorp, the EU can quickly end its reliance on Russian fossil fuels by taking strong, drastic measures.

The report’s authors said: “We conclude it is possible to eliminate Russian gas imports starting immediately in Europe. … They added: “We propose bans on all business flights, private jets and internal flights within Europe to save oil, and bans also on car use within cities. This should be combined with free public transport.

They should’ve thought about this before bringing in millions of MENA men to make public transport a terrifying prospect for the punters. But I’m sure the report’s authors think the travel restrictions don’t apply to them, they’re too important to the planet.

Presumably that would depend if the coverage of the Trump rally was accurate, exposing how Trump’s speech pandered to rednecks, nazis, climate deniers, racists, white supremacists, etc. who were interspersed among the uneducated dumbass junk food eating crowd.

Ok, I’m going to break my hiatus (just this once) so my phone stops going apeshit every time Kneel posts a comment.

I am not Kneel.

The fact that people think he’s such a close facsimile (to my good self) leads me to a number of conclusions:
1. Kneel has impeccable taste in food, clothes and women.
2. Kneel has impeccable logic, and an incredible turn of phase by which to express it in a captivating and unambiguous manner.
3. Kneel is an international man of mystery who can effortlessly switch between a coiled spring of death, and a loving, nurturing father and husband.

Where’s NY Post’s Pulitzer? (Surber, 8 Apr)

It is a great and true newspaper story that puts All the President’s Men to shame. The adult son of the leading presidential candidate has put evidence of bribery, corruption, drug abuse and more on a laptop he left for repairs and never picked up. The shop owner gives it to the FBI, which sat on the laptop for a year without investigating.

Finally, the laptop’s contents are given to a plucky little newspaper that against all odds verifies the story and publishes it.

If the Pulitzer Prize has any meaning, a special one will be awarded to the New York Post as an apology for the media stifling really, really good journalism — the best I have seen in my 68 years.

Miranda Devine ain’t going to win a Pulitzer ever, for this or any other story sadly. Awards like it and the Walkleys are for lefties to give to other lefties. Lefties love giving prizes to each other, especially using taxpayer money.

Here in Australia it takes just a minor discomfort to a bird, mouse or lizard to stop the construction of a dam or mine. These considerations vanish when new wind farms are proposed and approved. There’s little published in the MSM about the bird-slicing windmills. Check this outrageous result in the USA, where the deaths of bald eagles are taken seriously – for the moment at least. It will probably be declared a symbol of white supremacy next.

‘I’m married and I have my sugar daddy’: Mother is released from death penalty jury for Parkland school shooter Nikolas Cruz because she is too BUSY with husband, man she is having affair with and her kids (7 Apr)

A prospective juror for the sentencing of Parkland school shooter Nikolas Cruz was excused on Monday after telling the judge she didn’t have time for it because she is too busy juggling her husband and her sugar daddy.

The woman, known only as ‘Miss Bristol’, told the court in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, that she had a lot of other commitments that she couldn’t divert her attention from in order to serve on the jury in Cruz’s death row case.

Footage from the courtroom shows Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer, 46, asking whether anyone has any concerns about the requirements asked of them.

‘Miss Bristol’ piped up to say not only was the trial expected to take ‘a whole entire month’, it conflicted with her birthday and would interrupt her love life.

‘First of all let me clarify myself, July second is my birthday, July Fourth is my son, and the 18th is my other son. And again, I need to figure out something. I have my sugar daddy that I see every day.’

The judge replied: ‘I’m sorry?’ Bristol replied: ‘My sugar daddy.’

The judge, looking increasingly confused, said: ‘I’m not exactly sure what you’re talking about.’

‘Well I am married and I have my sugar daddy. I see him every day.’

Lost for words, Judge Scherer replied: ‘OK. All right. Ma’am, we’ll come back to you, OK? Thank you.’ ‘Miss Bristol’ was later excused.

That’s one of the best excuses I’ve ever heard to get out of jury duty.

The BBC’s Assignment program this week covered the problems that some French landowners have with rather lame hunting rules. They said that in France you can hunt on private land without permission unless the owner has officially declared their land exempt.
It also had an explanation for the increased population of wild boars – it’s due to climate change. Nothing to do with wild boar males doing their thing.

Two Dogs’ link to Twitter upthread on (satirical) Critical Grooming Theory is a keeper.
Some hilarious takes on it from comments on Twitter (enjoy before they ban it) :

When a progressive is offended that he’s called a “groomer,” that is a symptom of “groomer fragility.” He needs to sit with his discomfort and do the work to understand the lived experience of children and detrans folk who are harmed by systemic grooming. 3/

A lot of progressives think there is a category of “not groomer.” But one is either “groomer” or “anti-groomer.” Being “not groomer” is just a way to perpetuate systemic grooming. 4/

Grooming is one of many interlocking systems of oppression. One cannot be anti-groomer if one is a communist. One cannot be anti-groomer if one is a feminist. To be “anti-groomer” it to recognize the intersections of your communist, feminist, progressive privilege. 5/

As mentioned upthread, VicJack Inc have put the Red Shirts thing in the too hard basket, and thrown it out the window.

The apparent reason is that despite overwhelming evidence, the investigation – headed by then-somebody-else-but-now-Chief Commissioner Shane Patton – was binned.

Despite the said evidence still being there, and as obvious as a filthy furrin Indian truck driver standing next to a grogan outside a roadhouse, the job will not be re-opened because to do so will be a massive concession on the part of Patton that he personally perverted the course of justice and would in all likelihood end up in the bin.

Humanity has less than three years to halt the rise of planet-warming carbon pollution, UN climate experts warned Monday, with any delay to peak greenhouse gas emissions likely to result in smashing through warming targets.

These GDP estimates, however, do not account for economic upside of avoided climate impacts, ranging from extreme weather disasters to ecosystem collapse to reduced food supply.

Federal election 2022: Labor’s Tanya Plibersek refuses to contemplate election defeat
Bethany Hiatt
The West Australian
Fri, 8 April 2022 9:00PM
Comments

Labor’s Tanya Plibersek is refusing to even contemplate an election loss in the looming Federal poll.

The Federal shadow minister for education was upbeat about Labor’s chances and was singing the praises of Opposition leader Anthony Albanese as she hit the campaign trail in Perth.

Asked on Friday as she stood alongside Labor’s candidate for Hasluck, Tania Lawrence, in Ellenbrook if she planned to remain in Parliament if Labor lost the election, Ms Plibersek said: “I’m not contemplating a loss.”

The seasoned frontbencher was an Opposition leadership contender after Labor’s last federal election loss under Bill Shorten in 2019, withdrawing from the contest because of family responsibilities. And according to recent polls, Ms Plibersek has been more popular with WA voters than her boss. But she was adamant that he had her backing.

“Anthony Albanese is a great bloke, and I’m sure West Australians will pick that up,” she said.

“I’m working every single day for a Labor win and I feel great about Anthony Albanese’s leadership and positive policies that we’re putting out there on education, making sure that every school receives its fair funding, on cheaper childcare, investing in TAFE and universities.”

“There are so many positive Labor policies that I want to see enacted. That’s why I am working so hard to make sure that Anthony Albanese is Prime Minister of Australia, hopefully in six or seven weeks time.”

“Anthony’s a very experienced member of Parliament,” she added. “He has been deputy prime minister, he was probably Australia’s best infrastructure minister, and he will make a great prime minister. He’ll be there when times are tough.”

Sorry, Tanya, I’d rank Albo as Prime Minister alongside Gough Whitlam.

Millionaires is a concept girls seem to understand.

I’ll tender as evidence Ruslan Kogan’s appearance on Their ABC TV’s Q&A (some youth special)
It was full of hot lefty chicky babes, who spent the whole episode condemning capitalism & consumerism etc, whilst batting eyelashes at Ruslan and making it very clear they’d like to chat to him after the show (he was about 120kg at the time, sweating, & looked like an unkneaded oversized baker’s dough)

Or, woke lefty “cultured”, sophisticated planet-loving schoolteacher girlies, whose behaviour is worth watching when they’re confronted with cro-magnon semi-literate coal miners whose recreation is pig-shooting & burnouts.

Toppling statues is one way of attacking a nation’s cultural heritage, and it has been seen a lot in the USA in recent years. The continuing cultural pogrom now reaches another watershed!
660 rivers, mountains and landmarks are targeted for renaming as part of the marxist reset.

The US is behind NZ on this one. Notice how it’s trendy to say “Aotearoa” instead of “New Zealand” and now they’ve started on the cities and towns. The city councils of Christchurch and Hamilton now have a Maori name together with the English name and the Maori name is being used more regularly as part of the replacement process. You can bet that Auckland and Wellington are next.

Queensland is a rather bland and feminine name.

New South Wales you can’t change. It’s quirky and silly. It is the foundation polity of the whole place. It’s world famous.

Aotearoa is a snow job. It’s the north island. Not the whole country.

The problem with Aboriginal place names is so much of the language is lost, there are a lot of fraudulent “experts” making up their own LOTR “Aboriginese”.

Hence I don’t trust them being renamed.

There is also a tender for wokies to get a hard on for the more unpronounceable names.

Just going to put a full copy of that tweet thread here for prosperity:

Critical Grooming Theory
Neil Shenvi @NeilShenvi
Apr 6

“Critical Grooming Theory”

When some people hear “groomer,” they immediately apply a Western, individualistic lens. But they fail to realize that “grooming” is a systemic, structural problem deeply embedded in our “ways of knowing.”

A thread. 1/

When I, as a Critical Gooming Theorist (CGT) say that all progressives are groomers, I’m not saying that they personally support grooming, as defined by the dictionary. I’m saying that they benefit politically from “systems of advantage” that harm children. 2/

When a progressive is offended that he’s called a “groomer,” that is a symptom of “groomer fragility.” He needs to sit with his discomfort and do the work to understand the lived experience of children and detrans folk who are harmed by systemic grooming. 3/

A lot of progressives think there is a category of “not groomer.” But one is either “groomer” or “anti-groomer.” Being “not groomer” is just a way to perpetuate systemic grooming. 4/

Grooming is one of many interlocking systems of oppression. One cannot be anti-groomer if one is a communist. One cannot be anti-groomer if one is a feminist. To be “anti-groomer” it to recognize the intersections of your communist, feminist, progressive privilege. 5/

Superficial change is insufficient. CGT shows that systemic grooming has been baked into supposedly neutral, objective ideas like “expressive individualism,” “identity,” and “social justice” from our nation’s founding. Dismantling it requires fundamental social transformation 6/

Is this thread satire? Yes. But it’s a satire based on statements and reasoning taken nearly verbatim from the Critical Social Justice literature (e.g. Kendi, DiAngelo, Adams, Collins, etc.). CSJ is fundamentally flawed, cynical, and deconstructive. It is a universal acid. 7/

If this thread frustrates you, good. It should. It shows why we need to reject CSJ. It will poison our discourse and tear to shreds the very fabric of our society. Maybe rethink how you’ve been redefining words like “racism,” “bigotry,” whiteness,” and “Christian nationalism.” 8/

If you’ve been drinking the Kool-Aid of CSJ language and ideology, it’s time to wake-up. They’re a dead-end. You don’t have to choose between embracing CSJ and embracing actual racism/sexism/injustice. You can and must reject both. 9/9

“Rorters” have the choice to swap to the OAP when eligible .. no real difference other than O/S travel benefits (OAP O/S travel 6 weeks before pension affected (energy supplement, around $80 a fortnight, stops), rorters O/S travel .. entire pension cut off after 2 weeks ) .. your not eligible for NDIS once you reach OAP age so unless you want to travel O/S doesn’t matter much …

So “racism” is discrimination against black people by white people, while “antiracism” is discrimination against white people by black people. It says so in Kendi’s books, so they’re not even hiding it…
