Covid Vaccine Lawsuits Begin In The USA –
“NorthShore University HealthSystem in Chicago was sued by a nonprofit religious organization called Liberty Counsel. The group claims that NorthShore violated workers’ religious autonomy by dismissing religious exemptions and forcing all workers to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. NorthShore was in the wrong and decided to settle for $10,337,500.
Over 500 current and past employees will receive a payout, and the group will notify others of the lawsuits and give them the option to submit a claim. “NorthShore will also change its unlawful ‘no religious accommodations’ policy to make it consistent with the law, and to provide religious accommodations in every position across its numerous facilities,” Liberty Counsel stated.
Other groups will follow suit. They may have granted the pharmaceutical companies immunity, but there was a grey area for employers. Countless people lost their jobs due to the vaccine mandate, which likely was a violation of the Constitution.
Lawsuits may begin with large corporations, but if the Republicans regain control, health agencies and government officials may be investigated as well. This lawsuit is a major win for medical autonomy as companies will be less likely to comply with government mandates as they now know they could risk legal retaliation.”

This morning I am changing browsers from Brave to Microsoft Edge for the cartoon download at 0400 to see if it makes a difference to the rejection rate (about 40% in Brave).
It’s not a full selection, but a sample of eight, of which, on recent experience, I’d expect Dover’s website to reject two or three URLs (via Brave).
MS Edge is an older, more mature browser, which I expect to perform better than Brave, although I believe the fault is with Dover’s website and its WordPress software.

Meanwhile back here, coal exports are going so well the revenue will help us stave off bankruptcy, while at the same time LaborLotto rejects a planned new coal mine. They must think that (i) it curries favour with the agitprop crowd, and (ii) it’s only Clive Palmer’s latest funding move.
If the media held those in power to account (oh how we laughed) the scrutiny of earmarks/riders in every piece of legislation would be scrutinised.

Ukraine wasn’t delivering. The fact that the Taiwan card was played is ominous. Can’t be too many more up the sleeve.
When even Boob Carr is recommending nuclear power stations be built on the sites of closing coal stations, one is forced to conclude that unless the coalition grows a spine and expunges their wet left component they will indeed be the party of permanent opposition federally, just as they now appear to be in several states.

How did Thorpe rack up so much debt to the ATO?
Johannes Leak. Brilliant.”
Yep….superb.
Fuck me dead. I haven’t read it (Paywallian), but PVO is such a 24/7 slave to the leftard tribe:
In other words, the PVO clownshow thinks insects like Matt Kean and the white ants of the Photios Lieboral left must run harder towards oblivion on green left policies.
The November Victorian state election and the NSW election in March will show the lot of them what happens when, like Lord Turnbull, they join the wrong party and decimate it with green-left lunacy, pissing off the party base who run for the exits via the nearest non-leftard independent.
Once the rube in me sees how the magic trick is done, you can never unsee it.
And then you realise how childish it all is. We get all het up about this and that, and play along. It’s just a more sophisticated version of tribal war.
FTB, I thought of that too. I think Thorpe was hinting that it was actually her ex-husband’s debts she was saddled with. I thought in at divorce everything is split, even debts and taxes. If she ended up owing quarter of a million in debts and $50k in back taxes how much was the whole lot?
Hi Dover, today is the first day in almost two weeks that I haven’t had any problems opening the main page here and accessing comments on the side bar. When I press on the sidebar with the last comment posted, it actually took me to the comment. Everything seems to be working smoothly.
You do realise Carr was trying to be satirical? It is obvious he was (in his mind) sooling elements of the coalition on, sort of like Brer Rabbit asking to do anything but throw him into the briar patch.
And from the ALP’s perspective, absolutely correct. The politics of nuclear energy is that an anti nuclear campaign only needs to scare witless a few hundred Helen Lovejoys in two or three marginal electorates to ensure ALP victory, and as an incidental effect kill off nukes as a possibility in this country altogether.
Ahaha! I see Tom is thinking along tribal lines as well.
Of course. How else will they and their hangers-on enrich themselves at the expense of the increasingly hard-up? The worse things get, the more frenzied will be the rush.
Bipartisan policy or forget it.
Of course PVO blames the Liberal voters, those Neanderthal conservatives, for the Teals. I bet he goes to the same dinner parties as Kean, Turnbull and his entourage where they all agree that what’s needed is more moderation.
Entropy, Helen Lovejoys may find brownouts blackouts rather trying in their power hungry Harbourside mansions. A summer or a winter of those may make them reconsider.
Thorpe claims she was a victim of DV and hints the debt was her ex husband’s.
I’m surprised a strong blak woman wasn’t actively involved in whatever business venture it was.
As for news cycles, I’m not seeing anything new or unusual.
Newspapers are always chasing the next big story, I’m sure most people expect there will be both domestic and international events happening, all the time.

I hope so, yesterday I had a very nice lunch with a very wealthy progressive Guardian reader (of course, such a combination is a perfect recipe for hypocrisy), who I’m very fond of but this very wealthy progressive Guardian reader loves to taunt me about politics and whilst I generally ignore the bait, yesterday the very progressive Guardian reader was waxing lyrical about “Albo” and our conversation went as follows..
Progressive Guardian reader: “Albo is doing so well and speaking so well, considering he has a speech impediment, did you know that?”.
Me: “Yes, his articulation has improved”.
Progressive Guardian reader: “Peter Dutton is unelectable and looks like a thug hitman”.
Me: “No, Peter Dutton is not unelectable, people said the same about Albanese two and three years ago, here’s some advice, you should never say never in politics as political cycles turn very quickly. Oh and why are you focusing on what someone looks like and making negative comments about someone’s appearance? That’s mean and unkind, not very “progressive” is it? Oh and here’s a word of warning, those that the progressive left and their media outlets such as The Guardian love to hate, smear and ridicule can end up becoming very popular with the Australian people.”
Progressive Guardian reader: “Yeah you’re right”.
Me: “Yeah I am right”.
“In 2013, Thorpe was declared bankrupt, with over A$700,000 in debts, including monies owed to Indigenous Business Australia, and A$55,000 owed to the Australian Taxation Office.”
“The documents showed more than $611,000 in secured debts and mortgages, including with Indigenous Business Australia.
There was also almost $100,000 owed to unsecured creditors — $55,277 to the Australian Taxation Office, about $38,500 in business loans and almost $3700 in unpaid rates, utilities and childcare.”

Pity about the participation rate.
Don’t mention the last to Homer P over at CL’s, Homer is convinced that the participation rate has no effect on the unemployment rate. He gets quite agitated if told that it does.
The west has been bankrupt for decades – neither side of politics cares about debt anymore, the only end to this is collapse and start again. Hopefully, after that, diligence, productivity and prudence again become the assets they truly are, and dependence and failure cease to be desirable ‘virtues’

Neither are true measures of the state of dependency in society. Given the growth of the welfare state and the inability of fiat currency to store wealth into the future (by my ‘Pine Lime Splice metric, the AUD has lost 95% of its purchasing power since the 70s – 17c then, $3.50 now) its a reasonably correct to say no one has sufficient savings to fund themselves when not working. Hence if you are not currently working, you are living off those who are.
This means that the *employment rate*, not the *unemployment rate* is what matters, and that is in the 60% range.

Look up Shadow Stats.
Thorpe is an nauseating, unpleasant, ranting raving adolescent, an unsavoury female Peter Pan. This is someone who’s fallen out with her father (who happens to be white) and has called him unsavoury names, Blot had him on his programme either last year or the year before. This says everything you need to know about Thorpe’s character. She’s parked her car on the indigenous “victim” gravy train, and why shouldn’t she? It’s a good wicket. We’ve had successive Labor and Coalition governments who’ve thrown money at this industry and so “Indigenous” men and women like Thorpe climb aboard the train and can have lots of fun, particularly when it comes to smearing and ridiculing other Australians. I remember her vicious comment last year about Eddy McGuire, sneering about his “white tears”. Like she does with a lot of other things, Thorpe had appropriated that comment from some BLM activist in the USA. As for the nasty “white tears” comment, I’d never noticed that our tears are “coloured”, so the next time I cried, something thankfully I don’t do very often but I did after my operation last December and so, I checked the colour of my tears and I can assure everyone that tears have no colour.
However it isn’t Thorpe who bothers me, I find her clownish and embarrassing. It’s the likes of Bandt and Faruqi who are much, much more dangerous. And you want to what’s really problematic? That is that people, mostly young people and mostly very well off young people, vote for these dangerous Marxist lunatics.

Charles Payne Points out Problem in Jobs Report, Peter Doocy Drives It Home to WH
The Biden team is trumpeting the new jobs report that came out on Friday indicating that there were 528,000 new jobs, which was far more than expected.
Except not so much, as Fox’s Charles Payne indicates. You can see here from the chart how the labor force participation is continuing to go down from May. So what does this all mean? Payne notes that full-time jobs are down by 71,000. What’s up are part-time jobs by 384,000 and people holding multiple jobs, up by 92,000.
So what does that mean? Labor participation is still lower than it was before the pandemic. It likely means things like retired people having to take a part-time job and other people having to take a second job to keep up with the rising prices in the crush of Bidenflation. If you’ve looked around when you’ve gone out, you may see some evidence of this — retired-age people working jobs that you might generally see teenagers working to supplement Social Security. That’s not exactly a sign of a healthy economy, no matter how the Biden people want to slice it.
The number of people holding two full-time jobs is also at a record high. That’s also not a good thing.
Payne noted how things were not going well for black Americans.
Well, if your delusional beliefs cause you to publish something defamatory, is that still not defamation?
And if the publication incites some nut-job to call you up and abuse you, then we are in the realms of actual damages.

Of course it’s not new. If anything, the MSM is less influential has it has been in previous generations – that’s why it’s more shrill and insistent. What is new is that social media and teh interwebs have created multiple sources both of news, and of that which claims to be news. Zuckerberg is just another Fairfax or Murdoch.
This is both a good thing – the august journal of record here is an example – and a hilarious thing, because every notwit* with an IP address (for example, the UK mechanics’ shop site that became the Daily Expose) can market themselves as news outlets.

OK.
The full time/part time jobs argument in a place like the US is not the main game.
A job is a job.
The way they define a part time job is worthy of criticism.
2 hours a week is not a job.
But the main game is the participation rate.
What’s not getting any coverage is that it should be having step ups not step down.
For example college enrolments are down 600k year on year meaning you’d expect those to feed into the participating pool of labor.
Maybe they are, but they are being more than offset by ones dropping out.
You might have a case, but what for?
If you were anonymous before going public about it and it is absurd you may not have a case at all. Some more less used economic torts might apply here; false light, injurious falsehood (which requires some specific losses, I am thinking of white collar professionals like GPs etc – not quite analogous).
The judge is so biased she might fuck it up for them.
I spent 32 years and public and private health and can tell you the public health system is broken – nationwide – because the PUBLIC themselves are broken. Decades of faulty heath advice (contrary to the diet pyamids, fat is good, grains, seed oils and carbs kill), faulty medical practice (modern medicine never asks ‘whats the cause’, instead it asks ‘whats the medication’), fiat currency distorting the economy and preventing saving, and deliberate domestication of the population via welfare, safety culturism and the mainstream media.
Sit in a mall somewhere for an hour and look at the parade of pandas that go past you – we have broken the people, few are fit and self reliant anymore. Winter is coming….
If anything, the MSM is less influential has it has been in previous generations
KD, it’s a fork in the road.
For a portion of the population it’s more influential than ever.
Considering there are more views of Channel 9 clips on TikTok than watch the 6pm news the corporate media is pretty adaptive.
But for another portion, you are 100% spot on, they watch but view with suspicion.
Or not at all.

Wonder how many in the health system are regretting actively using ambulances etc. to campaign for Labor last time the useless liberals were in power? If it weren’t so serious for everyone I’d have no sympathy whatsoever.

From what I’m hearing, the Victorian health system is in a LOT of trouble ATM.
My guess is that the ongoing vaccine mandate for health workers is really starting to bite. Each round shaves a few more from their ranks, as they weigh up their personal adverse reaction observations, and rolling the dice yet again.
The only Victorians who should be subject to a vaccine mandates are Dan, Brett and Martin. We should confine all human trials in Victoria to these scum.
They all are. Departments of Health are untouchable, and have been for years. They are beset by untold levels of mid-range bureaucracy that soak up the astonishing budgets they are handed out. Any attempt to scale it back is political death because the now-established and militant trough-protectors go public, screeching about abandonment of the sick and dying.
The actual ED departments have been run on razor-thin margins for decades so that medical administrators can recruit mates and acquaintances as consultants and form steering committees and focus groups.
When covid became a thing, we saw the simultaneous rise to power of said bureaucrats, masquerading as ‘Chief Health Officers’ alongside pleas not to overwhelm the actual hospitals which were actually full of nurses TikTokking their way through the day.
Then the bureaucrats mandated vaccines, which resulted in thousands of nurses and other staff getting the boot or leaving. Which was okay at first, but when the crisis ended (as they all eventually do) hospitals were overwhelmed with ignored and undiagnosed medical conditions from the previous two years, and as a direct result of the lockdowns they themselves had created.
Slash and burn is the only way out, but it won’t happen.

So yes, full time private sector workers is about 1/3 (possibly less) of the population. Then you have to question who are net taxpayers.

I believe we have elevated Tik-Tok nurses to the level of minor deities – “our bwave front line wukkas” – and they have been supping heavily of their own bathwater.

That, coupled with a significant portion of the population crippled by fear and ringing 000 at the merest sniffle, leads us to where we are.

Best method for killing is a sharp/pointy knife, push in behind the windpipe and major arteries and cut out towards the front of the throat.
Then its a doddle to break the neck across your ankle.
Gutting and skinning is easy once you do it a few times.
Let the sheep ‘set” overnight, dont try to butcher an animal which has just been killed, the flesh is too soft and mobile under the knife.
Next morning put it up ion the gamble again 9unless you have a bandsaw) and hacksaw down the backbone to cut the animal in half.
You then cut it into 3 chunks, shoulder/ribs/rear leg.
From there its easy to brake it down into chops/roasts etc.

Oh no bro.
Be not afraid, Albo has a cunning energy plan:
‘World-class energy potential’: Labor announces plans for six offshore windfarms
In other world class energy potential news, the Norwegian Government discovers that the UK’s Dogger Bank offshore wind project is unprofitable, with a negative £970 million NPV.
The problem turns out to be supply chain related – the EU turbine and blade manufacturers are cashing in on the joke, rather than getting cheaper…
(Technical note: The much larger Dogger project delivered less than 3000 jobs during construction. The costs blew out despite the project having access to a North Sea offshore construction industry. )
Forecast: Doomed, to very doomed.
Griner is an odd one, I suspect she has an unusual set of chromosomes, she has a male shaped body including a male torso. She certainly hasn’t had her chest feeders removed, no scarring at all.

Meanwhile, AEMO says offshore wind is simply too expensive to connect to the grid.
Safe hands.
We’re in a pickle because so much of our outer healthcare system- psychologists, counsellors, pharmacists (maybe)- as well as the nurse-doctor-specialist arc is DOMINATED by females. I can’t be fagged looking up the stats, but from the Diploma level all the way through tertiary study of medicine field, women are in there in a significant majority, and that carries through to the workforce, at least for early career… until they want to have babies.
Saw a complication to this last year, when we were struggling to get our youngest in to a specialist. Waiting lists were out to four months, unless you could get a referral… but there were obvious compactions happening with the batflu dodgy needle regime. It should be freakin’ obvious, but because so many in the surgeries were 30-ish females who wanted to have babies sometime in their lives, they were dodging the needles, sitting out the workforce exclusions, and/or avoiding work if there was the hint of a shadow of a sniffle. Hence the offices were chaos, couldn’t cover shifts, jab dodgers were trying to do everything by zoom or teams. This pre-natal workforce desertion has obviously also knobbled other female industries, like primary education and vets. My wife is actually a vet, I don’t let on much but there you go it’s out there now.
I’m surprised by how often I’ll be having a quiet chat to some femme and they’ll say something like “oh i’ve been locked out of seeing my Queensland family because I’m “unvaccinated” because I’ve heard from my yoga circle that there’s a chance of complications with breastfeeding buk buk buk” and I always think, why the f haven’t you been speaking out a bit, if only to say “hey this is all a bit new let’s steady on a bit” and maybe rising to “I think the jab command is a bit of a breach of law and bodily autonomy rights” if your blood rises to such temper.
But no, I reckon it’s women suspended between wanting to do the right thing by themselves and their kids, and the natural capitulation to authority and need for stability in the interpersonal social strata.

Typical gearbox problems
Although there are several uses for gearboxes in wind turbines — including the yaw-drive gearboxes that position the nacelle relative to the wind direction and pitch drives that adjust the blade angle of attack — the main gearbox has garnered critical attention from engineers. It is designed to speed the slow, high-torque rotation into a much faster rotation for the generator. And few of these machines make it past the 10-years mark.
Today’s geared turbine typically has a three-stage gearbox with a low-speed planetary stage and two parallel stages. Engineers use planetary gears to design gearboxes that are durable enough to withstand the harsh loading conditions and small enough to fit into a nacelle.
The harsh conditions typical of wind-farm operation can take a toll on a turbine and its components.
Factors that may adversely affect the main gearbox include variations in wind speed and direction, temperature, vibration, and the ingress of moisture. These factors make the gearbox a vulnerable component of a turbine’s drivetrain.
Problems that occur in gearboxes include surface damage such scuffing and micropitting. Cracks at the surface of gears may also lead to pitting or tooth-root breakage, and possible bearing failure.
Micropitting is a starting point for a chain of destructive events that, if left unchecked, may result in tooth breakage and the need to replace the gears. Along with the stress of a constantly changing load, micropitting is also caused by insufficient lubricant film thickness, incorrect lubricant viscosity, and foaming.

Season update:
We’ve just had 20mm of rain, which is the largest fall since sowing was wrapped up on June the 16th.
A “hit or miss” front came through three weeks ago which prompted a flurry of urea spreading in the days prior (best described as an orgy of expenditure with urea @$1,300/t).
Dryland crops all got 100kg/ha with irrigated canola and durum 250kg and 300kg respectively.
Further spreading on dryland occurred before this front on barley, durum and hard wheat.
Sowing lasted two days short of two months owing to the fact that the rains which were no longer going to fill our dams and river systems KEPT FILLING OUR DAMS AND RIVER SYSTEMS!!
A more normal time frame for sowing is one month.
All canola, long season wheat and lentil crops are doing well and in a way have benefited from the extended dry with greater root development as they chased moisture.
Later sown barley and field peas have a bit of catching up to do but if the spring is soft will still yield well.
All in all it’s excellent.
APW based multi grade contract prices have come back 17% from their high about a month ago, which is concerning but the outlook weather wise overseas is not great for the US and Europe so my guess is this drop will be clawed back +. Also, I don’t think anyone really knows what’s happening re the Black Sea ports.
My harvesting client at Walgett reports 30mm from this system so things looking good there for early canola crops and hopefully a boost to all the re-sown wheat and late sown chick peas, a symptom of the rains that will not fill our dams and river systems filling our dams and river systems.
Meanwhile there is much to do in the way of R&M, this weekend will see the replacement of a very fatigued RH “breakaway” on the Hardi boom spray which only survived the last paddock with the aid of a ratchet strap and a vastly reduced ground speed!
Will be back in the truck later this month taking durum ex farm down to Graincorp Geelong for export.

rosie, from what I hear from people in the health system there’s plenty of money being spent, but it’s being hopelessly misdirected.

Jeremy Clarkson had a farm, E-I-E-I-O.
We’ll be honest, before Clarkson’s Farm appeared on our screens, we thought Jeremy Clarkson trading cars for cattle was a disaster waiting to happen.
But lo and behold, when it dropped on to Amazon’s Prime Video in June 2021, the show proved to be a sweet and hilarious insight into rural farmlife, filled with characters so charming it gave Jezza a run for his money.
The show does exactly what it says on the tin, documenting The Grand Tour presenter’s journey as the proud owner of a 1,000 acre Cotswolds farm. But given his total lack of agricultural knowledge and experience, he’s entirely at the mercy of his team. While they are willing to show him the ropes, they will not hesitate to knock him down a peg or two as well when things go wrong.
And things go wrong A LOT.

If the church is successful in removing itself as a defendant under the Ellis principle that will leave Pell isolated. Burnside for the father wants the church to remain because they have money. An amazing situation since the action is based on the shock of the accusation which was disproved. The police who made the accusation and charge should be the defendant.

Sad she is a warmie, but there you are.
Economics and resource extraction are a little out of her wheelhouse but she still makes a robust case for nuclear on environmental and reliability grounds and the human cost, and she is alive to the fact that whatever the economics now she is still open minded, seeing that things evolve with time – a concept greenies and most warmies are determined to remain blind to.
Typically greenies will insist that nuclear is not economic and then sit smugly back as if they have delivered the last word (this is when talking to someone open to nuclear despite all the ooga-booga that greenies, hippies, and other luddites have been prattling on with since the 60s). But she acknowledges that nuclear would get cheaper, and then went on to discuss new forms of nuclear already heading that way.
One of the commenters is a lecturer at UNSW on a mining discipline who points out to her that the estimate of uranium available to us would be severely limited by the reluctance to search for and identify new reserves in these benighted ‘green’ times. But if, for example, the reserves of copper as known in 1980 happened to be all their was, we would have run out in the 2010’s (or thereabouts).
Clearly we haven’t.

With Dutton going woke the only option are the small conservative parties, PHON, SFF, Liberal Democrats. But they have to be united like the fucking TEALs and the filth. I get sick of rugged individuals who object to a small aspect of some party and go off screaming. The former Climate Sceptics was ignored because they tried a bit of political practicality by putting the liars ahead of the LNP in preferences. People here got pure and said they’d never vote for them. How’s that working out. Politics is about compromise and the preference list by TCS was to enable them to get someone in which they almost did in SA but missed out by a few thousand.
Especially when so many polls (often self-selected, granted) indicate Australians are overwhelmingly opposed to the stupid thing. And is that a surprise? The Uluru Shopping List from The Heart is a grab bag of activist-porn concocted by a power and money lusting clique without consulting ordinary Australians at all.

US Prepares To Send $1 Billion In Latest Ukraine Weapons Package
The Biden administration is reportedly about to send $1 billion more in US taxpayer funded aid to Ukraine, in what will be one of the largest packages so far, Reuters reports.
The aid will include munitions for long-range weapons and armored transport vehicles, according to three anonymous sources, who added that the package had not yet been signed by President Biden, and could change in value and content before it’s a done deal. As it currently stands, the assistance includes munitions for HIMARS, NASAMS surface-to-air-missile system ammunition, and up to 50 M113 armored medical transports.
As Reuters notes, the latest assistance – which could come as early as Monday – would bring the total amount given by the Biden administration to $8.8 billion (or 9 fired Ukrainian prosecutors, if one rounds up), since Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24.
