I worry about my youngest being single but he’s had some calls with frightbats and has seen his friends and especially his older brothers ending up total disasters that have screwed up there live. So if he finds the ‘right’ girl it will be on his terms and if he doesn’t he has friends , interest and being a good uncle to make any loss.

say they’d do it again in a heartbeat

Hehe, I check the url before I click a story. CNN? Maybe that is why they’d do it.

When Fox News viewers flip to CNN, their opinions shift too, study finds (Phys.org, 8 Apr)

Staunchly conservative Fox News viewers who spent a month tuning in to CNN instead reported a broad shift in their political opinions—until they returned to watching Fox, according to new research co-authored at UC Berkeley.

After nearly four weeks of watching CNN in September 2020, the Fox News regulars remained firmly conservative. Still, the study found, they were more supportive of voting by mail, less likely to believe that Democratic candidate Joe Biden wanted to eliminate all police funding, and had less positive evaluations of then-President Donald Trump and other Republican politicians.

The effect, however, was short-lived. Two months after the study period ended, most of the participants had abandoned CNN, and the changes in their opinions had faded away, said the study by political scientists David E. Broockman at UC Berkeley and Joshua L. Kalla, who received his Ph.D. at Berkeley and is now on the faculty at Yale University.

Amazing the influence of the MSM. It’s like a mind altering drug or something.

This is not a valid scientific study.

It is very easy to tell.

If it was a valid scientific study, the scientists would also have done the converse test.

Have no doubt their covering statement “Had a Democrat been president, they wrote, they would have reversed the study, asking CNN viewers to switch to Fox.” is a lie. There is Democrat president now, and they have given no indication of repeating the study.

Pakistan’s Embattled PM Ousted in No-confidence Vote (9 Apr)

Pakistan’s political opposition ousted the country’s embattled prime minister in a no confidence vote on Saturday, which they won after several of Imran Khan’s allies and a key coalition party deserted him.

The combined opposition that spans the political spectrum from the left to the radically religious will form the new government, with the head of one of the largest parties, the Pakistani Muslim League, taking over as prime minister.

Yep, just what we all need: an even nuttier bunch of muslims running a nuke-armed mess of a nation.

One Florida teenager is dead, and two others are charged after shooting each other while wearing body armor, police said.

Belleview Police in Florida said that a group of teenagers were taking turns shooting at each other while wearing a vest containing a form of body armor at a residence around 7 p.m. April 3, when 17-year-old Joshua Vining shot Christopher Leroy Broad, 16, who was wearing the vest at the time.

Broad was struck in the chest and taken to the hospital where he died, police said.

Two of my childrens partners families are the scum of the earth. The shame being the partners were subject to abuse, both physical and mental. In both cases by the mother. One has siblings to 3 different fathers. SiL is lavishing love on his son that he never received. His mother has never seen her grandson and doesn’t seem to want to. From a lifetime, so far, of observations emotional abuse is far more prevalent amongst women. The caring motherly figure is not as common as they portray. Please do not think I am saying it even is 10% coz it seems to me a cross look is now classed as abuse. In my own case I was never hit, my parents were always there except my father ignored me wherever my mother was around. I can say I never knew my father and didn’t want to know my mother. Whenever we went to aunt and uncles, dad was different and payed for it on the way home and for the next week. It still annoys me when I see my mother’s influence in my behaviour.

Mr Morrison is set to fly on Sunday morning from Sydney to Canberra, where he is expected to visit Government House to ask Governor-General Sir David Hurley to trigger an election.

He was widely expected to make the call on Sunday after clearing a number of legal challenges to NSW Liberal preselections.

Labor leader Anthony Albanese has urged ?Mr Morrison to “just get on with it” and accused him of stalling an election announcement so ministers could continue making plum appointments to government bodies

A fake town in a desert gives free money to fake men and fake women.

Palm Springs Moves Forward With Measure To Provide Universal Basic Income To Low-Income Trans, Nonbinary Residents (10 Apr)

The city’s town council voted to allocate $200,000 to Queer Works and DAP Health, two non-profits, to develop a pilot program that would provide cash support to transgender, nonbinary and intersex residents in the form of cash payments.

The city council considered the measure for “an hour and a half” last Thursday, before unanimously voting to support it. The Washington Post said the proposal could be “the first guaranteed basic income program specifically for low-income transgender and nonbinary people to be implemented in the country.”

Jacob Rostovsky, who helped push the measure, said that for people with low incomes “regular, unrestricted cash payments” are a “huge benefit”.

“Most of my community is trying to decide if they should eat that night, have somewhere safe to sleep, be able to afford their hormone care of therapy. They’re making decisions constantly, daily, that many cisgender individuals don’t even think about, and that includes homeless or housing unstable cisgender individuals,” he concluded.

Yep, free money is a huge benefit. Except for the people forced to cough up taxes to pay it. I’m sad that they have to choose between eating and affording sex change hormones. What a terrible and ghastly decision to have to make every day!

Btw the Palm Springs wiki sheds some light on all this:

In 2020 Christy Holstege became the mayor of Palm Springs, which made her the first openly bisexual mayor in America, as well as the first female mayor of Palm Springs.[106][107] The following year, Lisa Middleton became mayor, making her the first transgender mayor in California history.[108]

Last night I watched the Netflix documentary about Jimmy Saville. You need a strong stomach for it. On the whole it was a good documentary but it isn’t without its own biases. The fact is that the culprit that did most of the covering up of Savile’s crimes was the BBC yet the documentary tries to to deflect from this and there is a lot of focus on Savile’s Roman Catholicism and his close friendships with the royal family (particularly Prince Charles) and Margaret Thatcher. There’s a lot of footage showing Savile with the royals, Thatcher and Pope John Paul II. To me this is a deliberate deflection from those who did know and did nothing. Savile’s predilection for young children was well known at the BBC, this knowledge went back to the 1960s. His crimes were known among the top echelons of the UK entertainment and legal industries. To be fair one of the major factors, when Savile was still alive, that hindered any publication of his suspected crimes was the UK’s notorious libel laws. And further to the biases….there was no acknowledgement that the current UK Labour leader, Keir Starmer, headed the Crown Prosecution Service when the decision was made not to prosecute Savile. So I was left thinking that the documentary is replete with a lot of Tory bashing, Royal bashing and Catholic bashing.

After Savile’s death and after his crimes became well known, the BBC, British politicians (particularly Labour politicians) and other UK organisations, in their zeal to “atone” for their complicity in looking the other way from Savile’s crimes, fell hook line and sinker for the concocted allegations by the serial fraudster and pedophile, Carl Beech. Beech’s lies smeared innocent men and destroyed lives.

Anyway, the Savile doco is worth watching.

He was supposed to have molested up to a 100 kids. How come none told their parents and went to the cops”

Well, he’s actually supposed to have molested hundreds more. Most of the molestation happened in care homes and hospitals where he was always an “honoured guest” and he was free to run amok. However, as for the “hundreds”, this is where I’m a little incredulous. You see, whilst I do think that there isn’t any doubt that Savile was a serial pedo and all round pervert, I also think that in the ensuing MSM hysteria since his death and the revelations emerged, there’s some hyperbole applied to the numbers of his supposed victims. The same hyperbole was applied to the liar Carl Beech’s numbers.

Looks like it’s dawning on at least some official minds that COVID-vaxxing kids might not be such a you-beaut idea after all. Just moved on AAP:

Australian children won’t be going for their COVID-19 vaccine booster just yet despite an earlier recommendation from the Therapeutic Goods Administration. 

The TGA on Friday gave provisional advice for 12 to 15-year-olds to receive their third vaccine six months after their first two.

But the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation has not followed suit on the recommendation.

“Current data suggest COVID-related serious illness is very rare in adolescents aged 12-15, particularly after completion of a primary series of COVID-19 vaccination,” ATAGI said on Saturday.

“At this time, ATAGI does not recommend that adolescents aged 12-15 years need to receive a booster dose of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.

“ATAGI will continue to review and consider new evidence on the benefits and risks of any additional doses in 12-15 year olds, including for those with underlying medical conditions.”

ATAGI said it still strongly recommended all children aged five to 15 to receive two vaccines, while those who are immunocompromised require a third dose.

Only Australians aged 16 and over continue to have access to a booster shot. 

As of Saturday, almost 70 per cent of the eligible population, or more than 13.1 million people in total, had received their booster.

Have been following it for quite a while and was clear the FBI would be dreading getting to court where their methods would be revealed. Even though the judge placed limitations on defence raising certain issues the jury saw through what happened. Basically the FBI were running the conspiracy and it was entrapment.

IS THE POPE CATHOLIC?

When my wife and I were in Rome several years ago, we arranged through our hotel for a guide to give us a tour of the Vatican. The guide was a young lady who I could tell was a practicing Catholic. We spent most of the day together, and after we had gotten acquainted she asked me what I thought of Pope Francis. I said it was probably none of my business since I am not a Catholic, but I didn’t think much of him. I said he focuses too much on politics, about which he knows nothing, and not enough on religion. She was circumspect but it was obvious that she agreed.

I have had the same thought many times since, most recently when reading about Pope Francis’s visit to Malta.

There are people here who also know and understand how the US and EU have been using Ukraine as a proxy for the last eight years, that doesn’t mean they support Putin’s invasion of the Ukraine. None of this makes people here “Putin lovers”.

Oh and as for Blob Johnson’s PR walk around Kiev with Zelensky, pity Boris didn’t show such solidarity with his own countrymen during lockdown last year….when, whilst forcing ordinary Brits to shut down their businesses, isolate from family members and lockdown, he and his wife partied in the garden of Downing Street.

They talk about it with us though, it’s sad they must suffer in silence and be told they’re crazy by the internally existentially frightened and mentally broken horde.

For the first time in modern history, the US dollar reserve status is being threatened. The axis appears to be BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, and China).

BRICS TO CREATE THEIR OWN FINANCIAL MESSAGING SYSTEM || INDEPENDENT RATING AGENCY FOR BRICS WILL BE APPOINTED || BRICS TO ACCELERATE WORK ON THEIR OWN PAYMENT CARDS – SILUANOV

I am sure we will warn all parties of seemingly disastrous SANCTIONS should they defy us. You do not go against the interests of the US govt and live to speak about it. This is where we are in the Empire post modernism — lashing out at others who threaten us.

This today from Medvedev:

“The result will be a destroyed world order and extremely heavy consequences for the global economy. It will be clear to everyone that the supposed effectiveness of sanctions is an absolute lie.”

Look, I think there is a little to worry about with the way the West has behaved with respect to taking away assets belonging to the oligarchs when these weren’t questioned before.

But the idea that these idiots can move away from the Greenback is laughable. The commodity world is quoted in dollars. Are they going to create exchanges where commodities are quoted in Rubble, Yuan or the Indian and Brazilian cra?. Yea right. Someone is going to sell a load of Iron ore and then hold the receipts in Yuan or the Rubble. It makes so much sense. Fuck off.

They should have headed up a little further north and civilized those barbarians brutes too.

Ha ha.
The Huns destroyed the Western Roman Empire, did a very good job of it, then founded their own Country, Hungary.
Where Hungary made a mistake was in the Pan Hungarian Policy of the late 19th C., where all ethnicities in Hungary, Turks, Gypsies, others were encouraged to consider themselves Hungarians.
That all fell to bits with the Bela Kun regime.
Putin is likely to cause a similar situation with his Pan Russian Policy of calling all the Minorities “russians”.

Mortality is a funny thing. For the young and a lot of the old, mostly, the time of ones death is meant to be a surprise. The covax probably now puts it into a 4 year window. I’m not sure I’d like to hear about it often once committed to having taken the vax, thus maintaining the mystery. The best use of those 4 years for the walking dead (sorry, kinda) however could be making things right, such as destroying the pushers.

Putin is buying Gold.
5,000 Rubes/gram, for the next 3 months.
The Rube hasn’t crashed like it was predicted to, how do you think his Gold buying will go?

I don’t see why creating an exchange is that hard.

The LME shafted a swathe of traders the other day, they shot their credibility.
