Interesting aside from my BS.
I’m looking up the uric acid symptoms and remedies right now.

You are a rolled gold, entitled, fascist nutjob.

For putting Monica Smit last? She is a D-grade grifter, Dot. Even you should be able to see through her rubbish. She has been increasingly desperate lately as her funds have dried up.

On a related note, I see Madison Cawthorn has lost his primary. Another victory for the GOP Establishment, who didn’t like it when MadCaw starting letting slip about the Republican coke orgies.

The other frustrating thing about super is that the funds have to be very conservative.They really don’t want to lose your money. The share market might have gone up 10% but your stupid fund has barely moved Plus they have to keep a certain amount in cash (which earns you nothing)

Err, I’ve not seen anything confirmed about NATO types being captured, but you do understand the concept of “deniable” don’t you?

There’s deniable, then there’s name-dropping a guy who’s not even on the active list anymore

Same as all the fantasy kill lists from the repeated alleged Ukrainian attempts to recapture Snake Island. Including USMC Colonels and Royal Marine Commando Majors.

As if the Ukes are somehow identical to the Russians, and are physically incapable of doing anything without a senior officer holding their hands…

Two Doctors, and a trans actor playing Rose? How Russell T Davies is mixing things up in the Tardis all over again

Name: Rose Tyler.

Yes. It’s sound logic, but I’m afraid you’re wrong. Rose, in fact, looks exactly like Yasmin Finney from Netflix’s Heartstopper.
No, she doesn’t. I just looked it up on the internet and everything. You’re right in that Piper doesn’t look anything like Finney. Piper is a 39-year-old white woman, while Finney is a black, trans 18-year-old. It would be hard to confuse the two.
…
This isn’t the Doctor Who I am used to. But it is. The transgender actor Bethany Black had a role on Doctor Who in 2015. In an episode in 2006, Jack Harkness said that he had a trans co-worker. If you factor in the audio episodes, you’ll find yourself inundated with trans characters, actors and writers.

Do say: “It’s great that Rose Tyler is being played by a trans woman.”

So much for the holy “Separation of Powers”>

Let me start this.
Putin is a bald headed flog.

That out of the way, this is verging on 6th Army at Stalingrad propaganda being presented as factual reporting.
This is the real headline from the gruinaid.

‘Defenders of Mariupol are the heroes of our time’: the battle that gripped the world

Cut off from the world and low on food and ammunition, many of the hundreds of defenders of the Azovstal steel plant in Mauripol were wounded, some missing limbs. Their capitulation had been inevitable for weeks.

That moment came late on Monday as more than 260 – bearded, filthy, emaciated, and including 51 severely injured – laid down their arms and were evacuated amid a wider concession of defeat after 82 days of fighting in the besieged port city.
…

I have to get down a couple of paragraphs more before Im sure the “evacuated” was actually surrendered and captured.

And while several hundred fighters remained inside the plant, their commanders admitted their mission had “concluded” while officials continued with negotiations to “evacuate them”.

Late on Monday, five buses carrying troops from Azovstal were seen arriving in nearby Russian-controlled Novoazovsk. In one, marked with a Z like many Russian military vehicles in Ukraine, men were stacked on stretchers on three levels.
…
Inverting history, the steelworks has become to Mariupol what the factory district was for Stalingrad’s Russian defenders, even as the Kremlin claimed prematurely, on several occasions, to have taken it.

But unlike Stalingrad, which could be resupplied across the Volga river, the Ukrainian defenders of Mariupol have been cut off from resupply by the surrounding Russian forces and also by their naval blockade of the Black and Azov seas.

A year or two ago I liked Andrew Clennell as a reporter but then he got sucked into his ego.

Today, at the Press Club, he asked the boat waiter’s kid a question. Except it was more a statement “look at me”.

He kept referring to “the boy who lived in a council flat”.

Albo loved it and responded in the way he always does – speaks a lot, says nothing.

Flip to Sky and there’s Clennell lauding the Albanese performance at the Press Club while there are constant replays of his yarn about the council flat.

Fuck me. No wonder I drink.

And, to make it worse, the living corpse, Michelle Grattan floated to the microphone. Her statement was incomprehensible but Albo loved it and waffled.

…they would “consider if it was appropriate”. I gave the arrogant shit a massive spray telling him that I had complied with the law, and that he personally was about to be reported to ASIC.

Did I meet you on HotCopper before?!

The other frustrating thing about super is that the funds have to be very conservative.They really don’t want to lose your money.
Ha ha, it’s a Ponzi Scheme with $2 billion pumping in every week.

I can tell you, Dot, the fact that my husband (unvaccinated) had a brief cold for 5 days with Covid, while I (also unvaccinated) didn’t actually contract it, seems only to annoy the vaccinated.

That is exactly the same circumstance as occurred at my place last month. I contracted it (unvaccinated) and the worst of it was a mild cold. My wife also unvaccinated didn’t contract it…

The Budget projects that the Commonwealth government’s gross debt will be around $963 billion at 30 June 2022. This is around 45.1% of GDP. It is projected to increase to $1,199 billion—around 50% of GDP—by 30 June 2025 (Budget Strategy and Outlook: Budget Paper No.1: 2021–2022, Table 11.5,
p. 366–7).
They never say anything about the States.
This is why.
Total Federal and State government debt is over $1.5 Trillion.
When I tell people this, they don’t believe me. The problem is that the taxpayer is on the hook for ALL of this debt.

A year or two ago I liked Andrew Clennell as a reporter but then he got sucked into his ego.

Barking Toad, Clennell is Old Labour, a journalistic relic of last century. In the olden days, he was the NSW state political reporter for the Daily Tele — one of the roundsmen covering Macquarie Street and Trades Hall in Goulburn Street.

He’s more Jack Lang than Elbow, who, in ALP/US Democratic Party tradition, is happy to drop his pants for the left if he can trade his humiliation for political power a la Joe Biden.

I actually trust Clennell’s reporting more than the slimy Greenfilth down the hall at Fakefacts/Nein and the commo anti-civilisationists at the Graniaud, whose rancid ideology makes it impossible for them to cover news dispassionately as the public’s eyes and ears.

One of the joys of living in South Australia is that, come election time, I get to put Sarah Hanson-Young-Oquist last on the senate ballot.

Sadly that joy is not available this election. She is not on the ballot this time, but old mad eyes has been in the advertising, no doubt to encourage the gullible and inattentive to vote Green. You, like me, get the pleasure of putting other Greens crazies last and second last.

This time the stupid SA voters – of whom there will be at least a quota of – are going to put a retired academic woman in as the Green’s senator. The Greens must be very racist as they have relegated the Aboriginal man candidate to second on their ticket, and he has no hope of getting in. Obviously a female is higher up the totem pole of privilege than a male of colour when it comes to the Greens in SA.

Where’s that unjabbed kids = hepatitis link?

Albo at the press club. Honest John the Parramatta Rd car salesman was more convincing. At least you got a car.

Currently we are making arrangements to meet with ‘Friends of Friendless Churches’ and with a woman at a local Fen museum where a past Director has extracted a family genealogy of my French Comte aristo ancestor from old Huguenot baptismal records. My ancestor played a significant part as one of the Huguenot Gentleman Adventurers, capitalists in 1625 led under Royal Warrant from Charles 1 by renowned engineer Cornelius Vermuyden, men who invested in and organised the draining of the Fenlands. My ancestor had hoped to restore himself to lands and wealth in Britain, after his own were taken by the Catholic French Duke of Alba, by serving the British Duke of Bedford in this endeavour.

However, he seems to have been cheated and offered contested land and poor financial returns, losing much of his money. The drained lands he received and where he built a village of thirty families who were his entourage was attacked by ‘wild Fen men’ angry at the loss of their fishing and fowling rights (a process in the Fens which caused ongoing disturbances even into the 19th century). They burned his village, and later his church, to the ground, driving him away. They stole all of his assets in timber (he had developed a timber business) and cattle, which disbanded his group and sent him down the coast to establish his eldest son, my direct ancestor, in the manor in Essex and associated church which is now under threat. Along the way he had dropped his aristo French title, for the English were in the middle of their Civil War, with severe Protestants like him against the aristo Cavaliers.

While making these arrangements to meet people here I was using my global roaming phone, and received a notification of two voicemails. Thought I’d better check them, even if costly and via Australia. The first turned out to be just what Vicki also got – a message from my local member Sharma to put a question to The Treasurer, and the second was a very seriously-toned message from John Howard, stressing how important my ‘Liberal vote’ was going to be this time round.

They both sounded running-scared. I pressed 3 for delete on them both.

And it will take forever for the government to do anything about a War Powers Act that will allow the owners to get coverage from them.

Amazing hoe that hepatitis is skipping vaxxed children and only infecting unvaxxed children.

Then from rosie’s 6.48pm link:
Cases have been reported in children aged from one month to 16 years old and any link to COVID vaccination has been ruled out, as the majority of infected children had not received a vaccine.

Personally I don’t find that particularly convincing in itself. Unless they actually compare the proportion of very young children and infants who had been vaxxed over the period in which the infections emerged (low, probably, given the history of the vaxx rollout) with the proportion of infected kids who were vaxxed, it’s just the usual scorched earth defence against a proper analysis of vaxx risks.

Those who claim that the vax is responsible for the hepatitis issue are jumping to conclusions, it is beholden upon them to prove that linkage exists. Dismissing the links Rosie provided without providing evidence for their position is disingenuous. I’m very much fed up with all these vax caused this vax caused that because determining causation in these matters is very difficult. Take a step back, learn to suspend judgment. Where possible entertain more than one hypothesis.

It’s like the 84% of pregnant women have miscarriaged, over half of the vaxxed died in 2021, nano particles, shedding, mini robots, vaxx magnetised bodies, infertility, ade, 100 times as many cancers, new borns babies dying of celebral haemorrhages, everyone who’s vaxxed will be dead in 3 2 1 and all the other utter crap that has been breathlessly reported here for the last eighteen months as vaccine consequences and then brushed under the carpet.

Exactly Rosie. That is why I don’t trust any claims on this forum because so many stupid claims have been made. And fuck Youtube, for nearly everything I read on Youtube I do a summary search to test the veracity of the argument. If they fail on one point I often stop listening. Even muscle nuts on youtube often do a better job interpreting the literature relevant to their arguments than many youtube anti-vaxxers.

That would all be most telling if it bore any relevance to what I actually wrote.
I didn’t make any comment on whether the vaxx did or didn’t cause it.
I just pointed out that it was poor analysis (in fact not analysis at all) to dismiss a vaxx link on the basis of the proportion of victims who were unvaxxed without comparing that to the vaxxed/unvaxxed proportions of the relevant demographic.
If you disagree and think that the dismissal of the link on an uncompared basis is rigorous science, go ahead.

Sorry Tim, the UK authorities categorically stated the number of children who had been vaccinated was zero.

It was your link that said a “majority” were unvaxxed. Are you now saying that was bogus?

In the US the CDC started the median age of victims was two, the majority of victims world wide are under five.

Yes, and? Aren’t they less likely to be vaxxed? Isn’t that a logical explanation why a “majority” were unvaxxed? Neither of your links actually does a comparison of total proportion of victims unvaxxed and total proportion of the relevant demographic unvaxxed. That is, neither of them provide any factual basis for dismissing a vaxx/infection link.
And, to reiterate for the incessantly slow-witted, I’m not saying there is a link, I’m just pointing out that the supposed refutation of the link is baseless without that comparison.

Grain prices are surging on world markets as a direct consequence of Putin’s war in Ukraine. Ukraine has long been known as the “breadbasket of Europe” and is one of the world’s top grain exporters, crucial to providing nourishment and preventing famine particularly in the developing the world. It is also the source of much of the flour for white bread production in western Europe.

The world’s food security has been further endangered by the Russian military’s destruction of the world’s largest National Gene Bank in Kharkiv. The bank kept more than 160,000 varieties of plant seeds and hybrids of agricultural crops worldwide. These seeds were stored so that future generations of humanity could restore them in the event of disaster. Among the destroyed samples were many that no longer exist in Europe.

Former teacher Chris Dawson sang cruel songs about his wife Lynette, called her “fatso”, and while she slept had sex with the couple’s teenage babysitter in the family home, a court has been told.
