I reckon you’ve gotta rate people on the Tramp Quotient.

This is the number of derros on the street asking people for money; doing crazy dances in the traffic, and staking out bits of pavement claiming they “own” them.

Someone needs to do a CrazyHot Matrix equivalent about finding a new place to live.

Tramp Quotient would be a minus factor. In the States at present we’ve seen lotsa TQs on the streets of New York, and Washington DC, but almost none in Charleston, South Carolina.

Other factors would be weather, house break-ins, public parks to sit in, graffiti or the lack of, and so on.

No. Jet stream blocking coupled with la Nina, same as in 2010. Both occurred at the bottom of the ~11 year solar cycle when solar activity is least, which causes jet stream blocking events. The climateers can’t explain how CO2 can cause such things to happen every ~11 years, it’s a mystery.

‘They Are Getting Ready for Trump’s Second Term’: Former Pentagon Brass Encourage Military to Disobey Orders

In an ominous open letter published on wonky national security site War on the Rocks Tuesday, eight former secretaries of defense and five former chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff warned of what they call an “exceptionally challenging civil-military environment” developing in the United States that apparently concerned them enough to publish their thoughts ahead of November’s consequential midterm elections. Never mind, apparently, that the signatories were at the helm of the U.S. military for the better part of the last two decades during which that “environment” was degraded.

Trump exposed these grubs but couldn’t beat them. They are not going to give him a second chance.

One in a 100 years weather event could only be described as anecdotal. It can’t be used to provide further proof of gerbil warming and in fair minded terms it also can’t be entirely rejected. We simply don’t know. Uncle Fester making these spurious claims is as bad the Gretas Thumberging their way to alarmism.

With rivers breaking their banks, flash flooding and glacial lakes bursting, Pakistan is experiencing its worst floods this century. At least one-third of the country is under water. Scientists say several factors have contributed to the extreme event, which has displaced some 33 million people and killed more than 1,200.

Scientists say several factors have contributed to the extreme event, which has displaced some 33 million people and killed more than 1,200.

In 2010, almost all of Pakistan was affected when massive flooding, caused by record breaking rains, hit Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab. The number of individuals affected by the flooding exceeds the combined total of individuals affected by the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the 2005 Kashmir earthquake and the 2010 Haiti earthquake.[4] At least 2,000 people died in the flood and almost 20 million people were affected by it.

Rita Panahi on Sparkle McBolt-ons (the Hun) – the intro:

Meghan Markle is the Jussie Smollett of the royal family.

Then:

That he ever thought any reasonable person would accept his fantastical tale shows how demented the privileged victim-players have become which brings me to the Duchess of Sussex.

Markle’s tales of racism, oppression and cruelty at the hands of the royal family, the British media and people is similarly absurd but she took things to a new level with a claim that people in South Africa celebrated her wedding like Mandela’s release from prison.

But the South African she claimed made the remark says it never happened.

Of course this is not the first time Markle has been caught out in a lie; her interview with Oprah was peppered with verifiable untruths fact-checked by a number of media outlets from the BBC to the Daily Mail.

Finally, the ranga cops it:

But even by Meg’s standards this lie was a doozy. While the whinger is being exposed as a fibber, the ginger is being exposed as a world class hypocrite.

Prince Harry made headlines for taking a private jet to a polo match just a few weeks after lecturing the UN about climate change “wreaking havoc”.

Brilliant. Obvious, but brilliant nonetheless.

Well, you impetuous Ranga, if you hadn’t mindlessly levelled us in a nuclear incident, I would have encouraged you to look at South Australia. Adelaide median house prices: $777.5K. Units: $450K. Statewide median price: $565K, with attractive units in sought after towns starting at $270K.

As with any city, there are areas to avoid, but in general, life is pretty laid back here, compared with the eastern states. Not so much traffic, good public transport, acclaimed restaurants, plenty of parks and gardens, and THE very best beaches, bar none.

City people can be a tad stuffy – no convicts, and all that- but country folk are the same as Australia-wide: welcoming, kindly and incredibly nosey.

Don’t write us off – figuratively or bomb-wise – too quickly.

Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris discussing the decline in the West in general, and Europe in particular (20 mins.).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yia2VouLQ54
Europe has been teetering for the last thirty years. Massive spending/taxing and money printing has held the wolf from the door, but the base of any modern civilisation has been cheap reliable energy.
The war against coal was the final push that sent the European economies over the cliff. Trillions of dollars have been burnt pushing the AGW barrow and now there is no support.
The death spiral can only end when all the social and financial structures that underpinned the old model have been broken down into their constituent parts and can then be reconstituted into a new model.
Perhaps destroying the WEF Cabal – ripping it out root and branch can give us the breathing space needed to give us a soft landing, but it ain’t looking good.

We went out a lot of times last week with friends so I assumed at first it was all the crap I ate. By Tuesday the pain had only subsided a little so I got to see the doc on Wednesday. He ordered all these tests and a CT scan. I had the CT scan at like 4.30 this arvo and I was home by about 5.30. As soon as I got home I had the GP call telling me I had to get to a hospital ASAP and here I am waiting around and listening to all these “falls” by 110 year olds.

German Minister of Economics Robert Habeck is under fire after his comments during an interview with an ARD broadcaster on Tuesday evening.

The conversation surrounded the astronomical rise in the price of energy taking all the income away from people who would purchase other goods and services. As Germans no longer can afford purchases, the stores and businesses can no longer operate. Minister Habeck was asked if that means a wave of bankruptcies and business closures are forecast.

From Indolent’s link.

I don’t get the problem though. Don’t they have wind and solar?

‘Offensive’ names wiped from the map in Queensland

exclusive
Sarah Elks
Senior reporter
@sarahelks

No Comments

Racist and derogatory place names in Queensland, and those honouring brutal settlers, will be replaced by traditional names in First Nations languages, as part of the state’s truth-telling and treaty process.

There are moves already under way to formally restore Fraser ­Island’s traditional name, K’gari meaning “paradise”, and rename Black Gin Creek, near Longreach, and Blackfellows Creek, near Cairns, as well as a fresh push to rename the Jardine River on Cape York.

Treaty Advancement Committee co-chair Mick Gooda said Queensland’s treaty truth-telling process, which is due to start next year, would work to restore original names of places, but it was ­important to retain some as reminders of historical wrongdoing.

Mr Gooda, a Ghungalu man from central Queensland, said while he wouldn’t support the changing of Brisbane’s Boundary Streets (which denoted the line ­Indigenous people were punished for crossing at night and on Sundays), others should be changed or restored.

“An outcome of truth-telling will be to change names, and go back to the original names. I wouldn’t change a Boundary Street because it reminds people of certain things … but there are things that are offensive.

“Black Gin Creek’s pretty ­offensive, and Mount Wheeler outside Rockhampton was named after a guy that killed lots of people and led massacres. And there’s … just recognising Aboriginal culture, like K’gari.”

Fraser Island is named after Scottish shipwreck survivor Eliza Fraser, who lived only because of the help of the Butchulla people of the island. But she later falsely claimed she had been captured, called it a “fate worse than death”, and described the Butchulla people as primitive and barbaric.

Butchulla Aboriginal Corporation general manager Chantel Van Wamelen said that after Eliza Fraser’s lies were published, the traditional owners were forced into missions on the island, and then separated from their children and removed to the settlements of Cherbourg and Yarrabah.

“K’gari means paradise, and it’s the name we’ve always called the island,” Ms Van Wamelen said. “Why would we want it to be named after Eliza Fraser, when her words started the stolen generation for our people? Through truth-telling, people need to understand the history and what did happen, even if it is sometimes uncomfortable.”

Consultation on changing the island’s name back to K’gari finishes next month. Consultation on the renaming of the two creeks ends on Friday. Black Gin Creek will be called Watyakan, meaning Women’s Creek, and Blackfellows Creek will be called Bana Gindarja Creek, meaning water cassowary. There are still more than a dozen creeks with the words “black gin” in their names across Queensland.

This week, the state government handed back 362,000ha of Cape York land to traditional owners, including the Jardine River National Park, which has been renamed Apudthama ­National Park.

The Jardine family were brutal early white settlers of the peninsula, and brothers Frank and Alick Jardine killed Aboriginal people as they made a 10-month trek driving cattle from central Queensland to the tip of mainland Australia in the 1860s.

Sandra Woosup, whose Angkamuthi country is traversed by the Jardine River, said the watercourse should be called by its traditional names, depending on which clan group’s country the river flowed through.

“The Jardines put their names on some areas, but we had our language name on our places forever,” Ms Woosup said.

“They had the government ­behind them, they had the power, there was nothing we could do about it then. We can’t remove the past hurt, but we can work together for a better future.”

Environment Minister Meaghan Scanlon backed the restoration of traditional names, and the removal of names associated with “hurt and a history of dispossession”. “Jardine and Fraser are examples of that,” Ms Scanlon said. Resources Minister Scott Stewart said his department – which administers place names – was receiving more proposals for change. In 2017, the state discontinued the name of 10 north Queensland locations that had the n-word in their titles. They were not renamed.

Queensland will be the next to go.

Been thinking about Fathers-in-Law a bit, in particular the one that got away, absolutely golden bloke who’d been battling cancer for decades on and off. Funeral was tuesday, I’ve been out of the loop for too long, and I’m struggling to write a concise condolence card to his widow. I loved him in my way.
Dover, who were you exchanging with re adoptions? Old Ozzie? I think it started as a step-parenting ssm idea, but then your rep said that there is now a cultural objection to adoption, and I got the impression that it was from a Stolen Generationses viewpoint…
Two of the most important friendships in my life were with adopted kids- one the daughter of the recent departed, who was my first girlfriend, the other the guitarist from my second band, whom I’m still very close to, and getting closer. I knew them both when they were going through the discovery of their birth parents- the girl was turning 21, and there are thresholds to information which are released at rising age brackets- at different stages a kid and the parents can access anonymised personal data, medical info, weight height eye colour, and parent s and kids can open doors through a mediator to make contact… if the other party agrees. At any rate, the girl had gone through one set of hurdles at 18, with much wringered emotions with her mum and dad at home, who she loved dearly, and again at 21 where she’d submitted the forms to the adoptions mediator to directly contact her parents… but been blocked. She actually went on a bit of a binge, which i attribute 99% to that rejection, because she was 99% happy at home with her life and natural-born sister too which is a funny thing that actually happened quite often.
Years later, after we’d broken up, she was contacted out of the blue. Her parents, who had been very young when she was born, stayed together, got married and had more kids, and some pissed aunt at one of those kids’ 21st had grabbed the mic and said “hey tell us about when yer mum and dad flew to Perth and left that baby there”
The kids were mobilized, luckily the eldest had left an open invitiation through the mediator, so she met the whole half clan at the age of 24 or something.
Same thing happened to my muso mate, he was in his 40’s when his birth dad had a turn and reached out after all. But that mate had a very fractured relationship with his alchoholic mother and military dad, and had kicked out of home at 18 to stand on his own feet, cut apron strings and escape the gratitude guilt trips from the couple who had adopted him as a newborn, and then a sister too. Reads a bit like a Venice Film Festival opener from the 90’s, dunnit?
Anyhoo, maybe they are a dying breed, the last generation to who an abortion was unthinkable and adoption was commonplace, and finding their peace in the information age where no-one is ever lost, and where adopting parents are only ever in the headlines for genocide and p-philia.

The other interesting thing about Sarajevo is that it’s in a bowl. The town sits at the bottom, closely surrounded by mountains.

The buggers just sat on the hillsides shelling the place – no one was safe. No concern for civilians, they were all targets.

It was the longest siege since WWII. The footpaths are full of holes and there are memorials all around the old city – shell holes filled with red resin representing the blood that was spilled. It’s all quite poignant.

Be sure to insist on a surgeon or ho uses a knife and fork.
If that advice is good enough for flying…

dillo John Farnham was very popular in Germany, huge concerts for the Voice tour. The only positive thing about his recent surgery is no more final tours.

Don’t drink the hospital coffee.

And don’t drink the hand sanitiser in ER (it happens, some of the dipsos can’t resist).
Hope it goes quickly and smothly, JC.

If you give Bespoke the paintings, can I have the gold plated lions flanking your driveway?
Please?

Jeez you’re a spiteful, neurotic girl, Turtlehead. Nursing was really the right job for you, you ridiculous piece of human trash.

Now go cry a little bit and get ready to go talk to someone here about what a meanie I am.

You will never measure up, turtlehead because you don’t have it in you. You’re a buffoon.

If the Queen is so ill the family has has been summoned then it does not look good. The dumb ginger and his crass narcissist wife are heading to Balmoral as well.
Thar might be enough to have her sit up in bed and tell them to F right off.

Economy Minister Guy Parmelin asserted, “We are not a police state,” although he acknowledged police would perform “spot checks” to try to catch violators.

Anyone who lived in Switzerland for a decent time would laugh at that claim.
You can’t even fart in your own home without somebody knowing about it.

The Germans are pretty cold people. The book “All is Quite on the Western Front” is intuitive as to how soldiers are all the same. I’m not buying the narrative.

It seems to me that “culture” is important. Let’s see how Americans react to “Our John” singing the same song.

This is a perfect illustration of why America will win against Europe and WEF.

Wow, the Queen sounds she almost gonsky. That’s really sad as she has been a real trooper. Amazing life and so dutiful too. I must say though that she ended up having some rotten kids.

And beautiful choice of blog header, Dover.
No matter where you stand on the future of the monarchy, QE2 has done a sterling job. Brilliant to make it 70 years of service. Not many of us could keep up working at that pace to the very end.

Next up the tampon obsessed nitwit.

1/7th of the American white population have German heritage. Prior to WW1 there were schools in the mid west where the first language taught was German.
