1. Mark Latham is on Sky, on Chris Smith. Note that Latham, after his tweet during the last election campaign debate, which caused the woke hounds to rise up from hell and set themselves upon him, including that disgraceful hypocrite Andrew Blot, refused to apologise, refused to prostrate himself before the woke hounds pleading for forgiveness, refused to capitulate and refused to get down on his knees and and fellate those woke hounds…..because even if he had, they are totally unforgiving anyway. So he’s just bided his time, allowed the furore to die down and is now back on Sky speaking sense…..because he’s one of the few politicians in this God forsaken country who does speak sense (Matt Canavan is another who speaks sense). There’s a lesson here, wonder what that could be? Oh I know, don’t bend over to the woke hounds from hell, stand your ground.

On a lighter and nicer note, a young lad I know, who’s in year 12, informed his leftist parents that he loves Donald Trump and he hopes Trump will run in 2024. Both his parents jaws dropped like they’d been struck with Bells Palsy. Some things are sweet, very sweet.
Meanwhile in Darwin…read between the lines here:
A series of incidents between two families, including one in which a man was struck by a vehicle on McMillans Road on Saturday morning, is being investigated by Northern Territory Police.
Initial investigations indicate the two family groups were involved in a physical altercation in which sticks and an axe were used causing superficial injuries to a number of people. One family group is then alleged to have driven a stolen motor vehicle at the other group, striking one person who then fled the scene.
The “two family groups” were the local Irish clans, the Murphies and the Paddies. Or not.

Not sure if it’s still going though.
There are two “family groups” in this part of the world, feuding since the late 1960’s. None of them can remember how it started, but, every time it kicks off again, the local glazier makes a fortune, replacing all the smashed windows….
Reacher
Brutal
Rcomend. 8/10
The trailer looked very good.
The first series is on Amazon prime. Watched it twice. They guy who plays Reacher is well cast and makes Tom in the 2 Reacher movies look like the little energiser bunny he is. The first episode is outstanding. A very convoluted plot congeals the next few episodes, which is understandable because the big lug is brainy and that has to be shown in him working out what is going on. My concern, since series 2 is almost completed, is that the wokeness which corrupted the last few Reacher novels permeates the series. That would be a shame.
Reading between the lines indeed.
It’s the two ‘family groups’ that burnt Wadeye to the ground. Hundreds of them have ‘escaped’ to Darwin where grog’s easier to get, and it’s on like Donkey Kong.

Not hilarious but tragic. The world needs a break and joe breaking his neck would be that; the tragedy is it didn’t happen. If it had camel toe would then slide in and the corrupt fbi/cia/doj etc would revolt against the skanky bitch in a week and then it would be on for young and old.

“More Sri Lankan asylum-seekers in sea intercept
Dozens of asylum-seekers, including several women and children, intercepted on a boat bound for Australia have been returned to Colombo as people-smugglers tell increasingly desperate Sri Lankans they will be welcomed in Australia.
Another charter flight from Christmas Island to Colombo was understood to be due to depart early on Monday, 48 hours after a flight carrying 41 asylum-seekers, including five women, two girls and four boys, made the same journey.
One of the women aboard Saturday’s flight, Meenu Mekala, told The Australian after being granted bail by a Sri Lankan court that she and her husband had decided to take their two sons on the boat after being assured by people-smugglers that the new Australian government would allow them to stay.
“We were told that there is a new refugee-friendly government elected and we would not be sent back,” she said. “It was such a hard journey we made … I would not have taken it had I known that we would be sent back like this.”
The latest returns come amid an ongoing economic crisis in Sri Lanka, with the country’s Prime Minister, Ranil Wickremesinghe, calling on Australia to send aid to help in his efforts to “resurrect” the Sri Lankan economy over the coming months.
“We need medicine, we need food, these are the ways in which Australia can help us,” Mr Wickremesinghe told the ABC.
“Fertiliser would be a great help for us. And some food aid to get over the next three critical months, but if we have fertiliser then we will get back into self-sufficiency by February.”
After being granted bail following their arrival back in Sri Lanka, the latest planeload of returnees shared increasingly familiar stories about the economic factors that drove the decision and their belief their chances of getting into Australia had improved. Chamida Fernando, 28, said people-smugglers had told him the recent election to parliament of Sri Lanka-born Cassandra Fernando – who migrated to Australia when she was 11 – had opened a door for asylum-seekers to make it into Australia.
“We were told that there is someone of our country who is in the highest political level in Australia and now there is a chance to get asylum status,” said Mr Fernando, who had previously worked in Sri Lanka as a recovery manager at a finance company.
“With the current economic situation in the country and severe hardships the people were going through, my job became extremely difficult. My heart was bleeding when I had to force them to pay dues in order to meet the targets given.”
Mr Fernando said he had paid Rs. 500,000, about $2000, to join the trip.
His lawyer, Sampath Karunathillake, told the court the current economic crisis meant people were desperate.
Among those who appeared in court in Sri Lanka on Saturday was the man accused of orchestrating the asylum bid, Warnakulasriyage Sampath Fernando. His six-year-old son and eight-year-old daughter were also on the voyage, as were two nephews aged 10 and 12.
The asylum-seekers were mostly from the western coastal cities of Negombo, Marawila, Udappuwa and Thoduwawa, as well as Tamil nationals from the former war-torn city of Mullaitivu.
The group left Sri Lanka on May 17 from the southern city of Mirissa.
After being intercepted at sea, the group was kept on board an Operation Sovereign Borders vessel for two days.
“We were given only two meals a day and they were not spicy at all,” one asylum-seeker said. “However, since the vessel was smaller and since there were a number of women, after two days we were taken to a bigger vessel and there we were given three meals with biscuits for lunch.”
Some in the group said their mobile phones had not been returned by Australian authorities.
Four suspects, including the alleged ringleader and three crew, were remanded until June 30 while the remaining adults were granted bail.
The group had landed at Katunayake International airport at 9.14am on Saturday.
At least three vessels have now been intercepted since the May federal election.
Defence Minister Richard Marles last week vowed that none of those on board the boats would be allowed into Australia, labelling the government’s turn-back policy as the “only ethical, humane” approach.
“People will not be coming to Australia by boat,” Mr Marles said.
“We will continue the take-back operations which were happening under the former government, but we will continue them and we will continue them without hesitation.
“And that is actually what has occurred over the last few weeks.”

Both sides are at fault on this one, Scomo did nothing about Mordy’s judgement for his term and Albansleazy gives the green light by allowing said freeloaders back in.
I always liked Luc Besson’s The Transporter movies.
Ridiculous carplay, explosions and a gruff, laconic Jason Statham doing impressive kung fu.
Great for switching the brain off for a bit.
The Valerian and the City of A Thousand Planets movie was pretty okay, too. I dimly remembered reading the comic the plot was based off as a small Tantrum (how it was in a Primary School library, I don’t know- French avant garde Sci-Fi comics from the 1960s were really not meant for the young ‘uns), but if you ignore the plot holes and both the dude and Cara Delevigne being a little wooden, it wasn’t a bad watch.

Agree.
They are being painted for gaming, Rex, although I have about 100 28mm models from medieval to modern on display elsewhere.
Rules-wise in the game we have an umpire at present who is kindly writing up the games before we start. Rules for movement and fire of course – distances for infantry to move is usually 200mm if in column, per turn. Cavalry are double that. Arty accompanies infantry.
Rules for moving across terrain, and for initial fire effectiveness versus firing after that. Hits indicated on battalions with counters laid beside them. We use dice to make various decisions, and have rulers for distances.
Lots of ancillary rules for brigade initiative; whether you have the army commander with you; being discovered in forests and villages and so on. The umpire is an expert and we are getting better under his guidance. Only a few of us so far but hope to get more.
Napoleonics and American Civil War so far but will add more armies. The ones I am painting now are USMC and Japanese for Pacific island games.

Billie Butcher – what a character. His unrelenting contretemps with the Homelander is the stuff of legend.
Although the former’s accent has copped some criticism. That and refusing to lace up the 10 holes. 🙁
Emilia Clarke has a decent set too, Rabz. 🙂
Great stuff, Rex. That’s some heavyweight Hollyweirdage. 🙂
I see Gonzalo Lira is back again.
Any more ChEmIcAl WaRfArE ExPeRtS go into the Russian bag this week, to go with their existing ex-US Army enlisted one, retired US Navy SPECWARCOM admiral and an unspecified French General Staff officer from Mariupol, and the dead Royal Marine Commando Major and USMC Major General from Snake Island?
Amongst French notables and their drinking habits Andre the Giant holds the record.
Rabz, one of the Hollyweirdest things I’ve seen yet was their attempt to cast Emilia Clarke as an action movie heroine.
While she looked like she had worked out hard for Terminator Genisys, it just didn’t work. Ditto trying to get her to tumble around and Space Jiu-jutsu a bloke twice her size to death as some sort of underworld assassinatrix in Solo: A Star Wars Story.
The woman is just too pretty to be believable in either role, and made her debut as a string-pulling character rather than a trigger-puller.
Maybe I’m just too easy at typecasting folks, but Linda Hamilton in T1 and T2 made the transition from girly girl to rock hard-but-still-female character transition with far more believability and emotional range.
Also, I fear I may have fallen harder for Emilia Clarke’s eyebrows than Rabz has for Miss Ellie’s, err… singing…
Agreed Rex. At least Emilia has finally come to terms with the immutable fact that she is a brunette.
Now if only I could convince a certain perfectly weighted Rock Chick Siren of the same.
All would be well in the world. 🙂
Next to Arny I think my acting would show a good range.

After looking at Dick Ed’s effusions over the past few days, I have come to the conclusion that he is an unreconstructed Maocolm Turdballs fanboi.
The instinctive rejection of nuclear power generation is a good indication. Turdballs and his family are up to their snooty noses in ruinables, and Dickless also opposes any hint of long term fossil fuel generation. Either would destroy the Turdballs family investments, if allowed to operate long term.
Then there is the lurrrrve for “Scotty”, at least until it became clear that he was going to lose the election, leaving Turdballs with no puppet to pull the strings of. The Stradivarius player suddenly became a bumbling fool (which he had been all along, for those with eyes to see).
Them there are his depictions of every political party in Australia except the Liberals as “Far Right Wing”. The Slime? Really.
With the Liborals, he always depicts them as a left wing party, not as either conservative or right wing.
The only question remaining, is Ed Lucy, or is he a Maocolm sock?

The lefties and their rent-a-ferals are emboldened because the police only ever made token efforts to break up and regulate their movements and ‘protests’ during the Coof years. And only went after the ‘safe’ targets of the general public protesting their heavy-handedness instead.
To apply any substantial response to uphold public order and the law in this day and age, unfortunately now leads to condemnation from both sides. Because the police are viewed as cowardly and weak by them, and also thuggish and partisan by us.
And, since we aren’t allowed to be our own Roof Koreans in this modern, equal and ‘Saef’ and progressive land of ours, the timidity displayed merely exacerbates the situation the ferals have provoked and hastens a scenario of a near-total collapse of civil order.

More from the Logies red carpet, so few pretty women but a lot of odd looking ones.
Finished the last book in Matthew Reilly’s series of seven Jack West novels.
Can’t remember the details of the first two or three, but from the fourth book to the seventh, the “eeevil villains” were depicted in ever increasing detail as a group of wealthy families that had, for many generations, pulled the strings behind world governments. In at least the final book there were some unfavourable references to a “New World Order”.
I wonder has Reilly been black pilled? If so, his works, read by many, could have as much as , or more than, effect as the few public figures trying to focus on the New World Order fanbois.

Then he got vibe-checked so hard by more dedicated leftists than he, that abandoning his second attempt at blogging and resorting to his usual scripted Reply Guy gag felt like the safer thing to do…
Crossie.
Exactly the same with Tim Lane (former ABC, and now 3AW AFL commentator).
His daughter, Sam, managed to develop a sports commentary career and is fair to middling. She was incredibly poor in her first few years.
Normally I wouldn’t care except they are both sanctimonious arses when it comes to the most minor transgressions by AFL players and officials.
Tim refused to commentate Collingwood games on Nein with Eddie Maguire (then Collingwood President) because of perceived bias.
OK. Fair enough.
But I just find it hard to believe his daughter was plucked at random from among the hundreds of eager young hopefuls for a cadet sports reporter job.
Just another glass jaw, like you.
Why don’t you bolster his site?
Divide and conquer?
JC picked it.
They just had a Jimmy Rhees recorded segment on the Logies, a definite highlight.

Um…
Forgive me. This is good news to me (want to buy a home) and mine (need some renovations).
Sancho re the offspring of TV personalities, I felt that way about Peter Doocy on Fox News, Steve Doocy’s son. He started off rough and I thought at the time this will be a short career but he has evolved into the most gutsy White House correspondent and the most knowledgeable.
Is your brain already scrambled ol’ chum?
Proper nouns are an issue?
That’s right, it was HiAce, Toyota’s own branding.
Deny, deny, deny… as the lawyers say.
That must easy for a sociopathic loser, right?
Live blogging the Logies?
We will be taken for the old peoples home.
just flicked a bunch of shorts on youtube, there’s so many woke movies coming out I’m starting to feel like a minority
It is amazing the Logies are still a thing.
The death of Neighbours should have been a clue.
The whole damn thing should have died with Bounder! Regardless of how smoking hot Nicola Charles was!
You could always hop back over to the lolly sho …
Oh, sorry.
No. You can’t do that.
Because Dot won’t do it (ladypages):
Highlights:
He showed up sort of drunk to our first date.
He said he just had the best week ever, and when I asked him why, he replied, all excited and still slightly intoxicated even after gulping down one of those overpriced coffees — ‘I finally met my role model, Elon Musk.’
Oh, no. No, no, no.
Look, in my defence — his online dating profile wasn’t the worst. It really wasn’t.
He had no pictures posing with dead animals. Or guns. Or poor African children, probably taken during one of those weird white saviour volunteer trips. Instead, his main photo was just him hugging a big, fluffy dog. Which I later found out wasn’t even his. He borrowed it to have a cute picture for his dating profile.
That old chestnut.
The horrified author is a fat English chick, by the way.
Tell you what, chubby. You deserve whatever’s coming next. You absolutely do.
Operation Fox Hunt is China’s operation for catching “criminals” abroad, but the crimes are not only financial in nature… not liking the government is enough to get you hunted. Certain countries are even helping the Chinese government catch these people, but some countries are waking up to this sinister operation. A new law has been created, and it’s called transnational repression.
ALPBC does lay the sanctimony a bit thick except when it comes to discipline in African boys homes when they tend to go a bit quiet.
ALPBC Sport …
Also plastic surgeons. He should try to find one that doesn’t have hooks for hands.
I see humpty Dumpty is trying to make up for lost time.
The question was, why don’t I bolster AdamD’s site.
Well I tried them all when Sinc pulled the plug.
AdamD’s started OK but his inattention to bird clean-up didn’t help.
When I ditched AdamD’s I basically came here and also dropped a couple of guest comments at the Furniture Store. But even the tumbleweeds roll in slo-mo over there.
Even did a couple of pity posts at m0nsters.
I have a look at C.L.s from time to time, but rarely comment.
Point is, no-one has to “bolster” anything. People go where they like.
Some blogs thrive. Some just survive. Some die.
It’s a jungle out there.
Sad to see all the names in the In Memoriam part of the Logies. We lost some good people in the past year.
You will eat bugs, own nothing, and be happy.
I was definitely not going to watch Piers Morgan so I drifted over to the Logies on Nein.
Good get, Bear.
I remember listening to radio in the car the day after Roebuck entered a sixty foot guilty plea onto the hotel awning.
I thought it very strange.
Lots of talk about his cricket knowledge but nothing of a personal nature.
Lots of talk about him being very private.
They knew.
With all the beards and moustaches at the Logies you would think we were back in the age of W. G. Grace.
I’m so old I can remember when networks used to fight over the rights to the Logies.
They still do, I guess.
“Fuck it. We did it last year. It’s your turn.”
They knew enough not to ask any questions. Cf: Paul Bungourno.
Didn’t watch the Logies, mostly because I was confident the host wouldn’t get slapped in the face by an ‘actor’ whose missus’ love of stray pipe was legendary.
Further to the Richard Wilkins thing above, what is with his hair. Somewhere there is a shelty walking around naked for the sake of that toupee.
No surprise the Logies and the Olympics both end up on the Gold Coast. With Pony Girl.
Australia knocked up 6-291 against Sri Lanka in the ODI.
What are these “Logies” of which you speak?
Sounds like most peoples Christmas.
KD.
They can’t even set up Won Casey and Normie Rowe on the same table.
The cheating ranga dwarf didn’t get to double figures, so that’s encouraging.
I doubt 200 unemployed actors could belt through as much free piss as Mrs P’s rellos.
Just shows you how out of touch I am, I thought it was still broadcast from Melbourne.
There’s no rivalry in TV any more. They could potentially set up Bert Newton’s drug-fucked chick-bashing offspring with Andrew O’Keefe though.
Put a bimbo and a 30-bag equidistant between them, and watch them go. That’d bring the crowds back.
Bwah ha ha ha.
A perfect illustration as to why State Governments should shovel cash at it.
Not.
Jeez, Newton Minor has dropped off the radar.
As has Bert, but he has a valid reason.
I’d be interested to know exactly where in the UK David Kipping originates?
That’s a curious accent – probably from somewhere in the north.
Mainly noticeable when he says words like pulse, ultimate or multiverse.
Luxury?
Probably – not something astronomers say all that often though 🙂
When it comes to luvvies they prefer “Smack that bitch up” from a rapper rather than a lifestyle choice.
Sick of the Logies’ self-congratulatory mutual wankfest … watching Equaliser 2 instead.
guess they ruled out the microwave.. given they weren’t invented then.
Channel 9 saw the writing on the wall and converted their studios into apartments years ago. Even drug dealers don’t want to be associated with Crown.
well – they were around, but I guess not common.
A wankfest has never offered much for a viewer. Unlike an NRL team bonding session.
I’m nearly at the point in my life where i’ve lost sympathy for all those murdered by their own governments.
How many ignored the warning signs?
How many mocked those that warned them?
How many supported them until the end?
Blind faith in authority blinds people to the dangers posed by those same authorities. Warnings are considered affronts to common decency and social order.
Shooting the messenger is humanity’s most popular sport.
African boys homes when they tend to go a bit quiet.
No complaints here

Newton Jnr was bloody good in Underbelly. Played himself.
The Logies wee so exciting that I fell asleep and now don’t know who won the Gold Logie. Let’s go to the tape then.
And the Gold Logie goes to Hamish Blake.
It could have been worse, it could have been Melissa Leong or Tom Gleeson, neither of whom I have even heard of.
