Good, but there’s still a lot of Labor preferences in ‘Other’ and a lots of wet moderates in the Liberals.
When he’s not stoush trolling or looking to join a pile on, good to see the Driller offering advice on how to deal with cops in criminal matters. He appears to be very experienced – QC level experience.

My point was exactly the opposite to equivalence – that some people get away with everything, up to and including murder, while others are cancelled, persecuted, locked up without trial for years (think January 6 tourists) for nothing more than holding and expressing an opposing view.

Not so fast.
The original link equated Pfizer with Jones.
It clearly implies they both should be treated equally.
Which is, they both cop a whack or they both slide on without losing any paint.
I wasn’t the one drawing the ridiculous parallel.
Tell you what.
If you admit it was a stupid comparison to draw, I’ll donate a cuppa coffee to the Daily Exposé.
Bruce, I’ve looked at the NY Post article. It’s from a UKR Defence report so probably exaggerated but they say 1 crashed in UKR held territory while the other 3 returned to RUS held territory. Not sure this tells us anything apart from their ability to take a pounding and survive. I heard reports of them and SU-25s taking repeated hits or near hits and surviving.
Does this mean the National Anthem is now “God Save the King?”
If Alex Jones can be bankrupted for sprouting bullshit, so can others.
Plenty of examples out there of outright and provable lies from the left. It’s a veritable goldmine in a litigious sense.
Lyrics…….
God save our gracious King,
Long live our noble King,
God save the King!
Send him victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us,
God save the King!
O Lord our God arise,
Scatter our enemies,
And make them fall!
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
On Thee our hopes we fix,
God save us all!
Not in this land alone,
But be God’s mercies known,
From shore to shore!
Lord make the nations see,
That men should brothers be,
And form one family,
The wide world o’er.
From every latent foe,
From the assassins blow,
God save the King!
O’er his thine arm extend,
For Britain’s sake defend,
Our father, prince, and friend,
God save the King!
Final verse….
Thy choicest gifts in store,
On him be pleased to pour,
Long may he reign!
May he defend our laws,
And ever give us cause,
To sing with heart and voice,
God save the King!

I took my mum to a uniting Easter service. It was 80% climate change. A disgrace. You might have views on it, but just for once STFU and focus on what’s really important.
A couple of separate arguments here.
The first is around the quantum of damages. Totally off the scale and will be wound back on appeal.
But let’s say it is wound back to say, $500k per claimant. Not sure how many claimants but let’s say 30, so that’s $15 meg.
Is that too much?
And please. “Spouting bullshit”?
This isn’t like making a slight exaggeration about some vague esoteric subject to build listener numbers.
He peddled stuff he must have known was bullshit and kept it up because his audience numbers ticked up every time he mentioned it. He was using dead kids as clickbait to sucker the gun lobby audience in and make money.
And the victims suffered real damage as a result. Abused in the street, graves desecrated, being sent pictures of dead kids so they could see what a “real dead kid looked like”.
He triggered that, and it has blown back bigtime.
Excuse me if I don’t give a fuck.

Nope. Four – out of how many? Six? Ten? 60? And that’s even assuming they’re either piles of scrap or unable to fly and fight. Four choppers and crew down wouldn’t raise an eyebrow.
You can’t compare this to WW1 where up to 5000 people were killed in a morning. All the shock and awe of the rockets across multiple targets – 11 dead.
I am not taking sides, but the Russians know their history, and what they’re suited to. They’re trading a little bit of blood and a bit more ground for time. Wait for the winter offensive, which will tie in nicely with the rest of Europe freezing in the dark.

Too bad for them I didnt 😉
(hat tip to ‘Aussie Cossack’ for his ‘Film the Police’ campaign, and for that nice Police Sgt from Mt Barker Police who also taught me to *always* film interactions with Police)
Ain’t it sad that this country has changed to the point where I, an emergency services worker who regarded the police as ‘comrades in arms’ for decades, has now joined the ranks of those who would ‘not piss on the police if they were on fire’ ?
If Alex Jones can be bankrupted for sprouting bullshit, so can others.

Prosecution witnesses don’t always sing the anticipated tune when in the witness box.
Sometimes you gotta wonder who in Crown Law had the light bulb moment & decided the defence’s best asset would be a good prosecution witness.
All I can think of is, these prosecution twits actually believe their case is true, & are totally amazed & stunned when one of their witnesses stands up & says “I was there & saw everything, the accused did not do it”
The police haven’t changed.
They’re just not bothering to hide it as much anymore.

Outspoken Indigenous Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price has issued a passionate plea to Australians living in capital cities to stop turning a blind eye to violence as she shared a harrowing photo of her bloodied and bruised grandmother after she was allegedly attacked.
Senator Price called on the millions of Aussies living in ‘leafy green suburbs’ to turn their attention to remote community violence as she implored the nation to be a voice for the victims who are ‘out of sight out of mind’.

Munty is not saying the Democrat party are a bunch of assholes & he wants nothing to do with them.
Take them to the cleaners, then demand your costs be paid, and then make enquiries as to suing the ACT Commissioner of Police and the coppers responsible personally. If it is what you say it is (and I have no reason to doubt that) then the jacks involved are not acting in good faith, which removes quite a bit of the protection afforded them.
They didn’t just drag you to court. They took away your liberty. Scream the house down, I say.

I have a mate in Mongyang who has an older bulldog. Great dog. Funny as fuck.
Yesterday I stumbled across a clip of a bloke trying to teach his bulldog tricks. The dog wasn’t interested. Looked at the TV instead, lay on its back, shut its eyes, walked into another room. I found this faintly amusing and sent the clip to my mate. No response.
Today, I had a look at FB and saw a post from said mate, mourning the death of his bulldog which died last night.
Oops.
Did anyone notice the name of the community where the lady was bashed?

That bears repeating – it is Parliament and its never ending issuance of regulations and laws without any idea of the effects it will have.

Certain West Australian politician asked one of his constituents as to the health of his ailing mother.
“I’m sorry, my mother passed away three weeks ago, all very peacefully.”
Some hours later, said polly, rather tanked, asked the same constituent as to his mothers health.
“Still dead” was the reply.
You’re too kind.

They are only faux paws because of the timing. KD, your affection for the late dog will be appreciated once the hurt subsides- same goes Arma, though they’re more likely to forget you ever asked through the kinda more existential haze of the death of a parent.

Going back to my old hobby of Soviet production watching, this sort of drop in price and the appearance of fresh meat in the markets above normal volumes meant the grain crops were failing and the collectives were dumping cattle to cut back on grain use.
I wonder if that example holds true today?
I’m hoping so. The dude was pretty distraught so he gave me his credit card to go and pay the Indian sheliah at the cashiers counter. Pump numbers get mixed up. It was all a haze.
Oh Yea. Turtlehead, explain to readers how exactly you were “watching” soviet production when the Soviet Union didn’t publish anything near what could be regarded as reliable stats. Actually there was nothing published. Did you convert the ruble exchange to US, Australian dollars or just left it in rubles? Did you allow for Soviet inflation and how did you incorporate that into your watchful analysis?
If you can;t answer this questions this evening I’ll re-post in the morning to remind you. Thanks.
I can’t wait for the answer.

Frank Chung on New com au had a good article on EU MP Pfizzer story (ie. no transmision testing). Story went up at 3.30pm 13 Oct and got 1300 comments in what appears to be only 3 hours. When I looked just now it was showing as 2nd most commented article but not actually showing the article anymore (I saw it late afternoon). Last comment shown as 9 hours before which suggests only allowed comments for a few hours before shut down.
Frank Chung is the best journalist covering Covid in mainstream media but unfortunatetly never gets into the News Corp paper editions. Google him and you will see his previous articles which include ones about vax injuries that the paper editions clearly avoid.
Rita Panahi still has an article up on Herald Sun which allows comments. Courier Mail naturally no mention.
A husband and wife who work for the circus go to an adoption agency. Social workers there raise doubts about their suitability. The couple produces photos of their 50-foot motor home, which is clean and well maintained and equipped with a beautiful nursery. The social workers raise concerns about the education a child would receive while in the couple’s care. “We’ve arranged for a full-time tutor who will teach the child all the usual subjects along with French, Mandarin, and computer skills”. Then the social workers express concern about a child being raised in a circus environment. “Our nanny is a certified expert in paediatric care, welfare, and diet”. The social workers are finally satisfied. They ask “What age child are you hoping to adopt?” “It doesn’t really matter, as long as the kid fits in a cannon”.

There’s no end to the mischief the string-pullers behind Biden are getting up to.

This will help the regime to survive the current popular revolt. It will hand out death penalties to all and sundry. So much for the USA fostering good governance or getting even with the mullahs for the 1979 outrage.

Planning Our Water Future For The Next Fifty Years
As the climate gets drier all options need to be considered – including increasing the use of recycled water for non-drinking purposes, desalination and saving more water across households, industry, agriculture, sporting fields, parks and gardens. Even now, without the desalination plant, Melbourne’s demand would be outstripping supply by 70 billion litres every year.

Floods in this rural town, that rural town, that river up bush somewhere, evacuation order, whatever. Until this morning.
‘TEH MARIBYRNONG RIVER HAS BROKEN ITS BANKS AAAAAH’
Followed by pictures of the Maribyrnong River. Specifically, a low-lying marina on the river just up from the rowing clubs and adjoining a smallish yet quite fancy bit of town. To people who didn’t know there was a marina there, the optics indicate a very significant break in the banks. If you knew there was a marina there, it looks a bit swollen.
There is also footage of a single car somewhere, submerged up to its roof.
Apparently it’s different when it happens to city folk.
The Angler’s Tavern under four or five feet of river. As the name suggests, it is right on the river.
Pre-makeover, and a few years back it was undisputedly the best place in Melbourne for a Sunday session, with the possible exception of the Geebung Polo Club in Hawforn.
Outstanding hit rate and stats from the Angler. Now it’s a franchise beer garden.
Hopefully the river will wash a bit of style back into the joint.
Can you whisper in Sanchos ear and see if he can drop and extra couple of dozen on me?
Feeling really down today, and I anticipate that buku upticks is the only real remedy.

In the last few days vacuous lightweight AOC had a Town Hall in the Bronx. It didn’t got to plan. About thirty people turned up and some in the audience stood up and spoke against her for becoming a Democrat neocon war hawk, for supporting the arming of Ukraine, for supporting the sending of money to Nazis and for being an all round moral coward.

Having followed Gabbard for quite a few years now, I believe she is quite sincere in her denunciations of the current Demonrat Party and the reasons behind why she left the party. It doesn’t mean that Gabbard has become a conservative, she isn’t a conservative. However Gabbard is no coward, she has long held different views to the mainstream Demonrat Party and has been outspoken about them. Gabbard, unlike AOC and the rest of the squad scum, is a true progressive, the real mccoy, unlike the squad, who are simply big tech, corporate plants.
But look, at least AOC fronts up at a Town Hall. Here in Oz, if one of our motley group of “representatives” held a Town Hall and faced similar heckling and denunciations, they’d probably call the cops on the constituents, after all, if you remember, that’s what the recent unlamented Liberal member for Reid, Fiona Martin, did when she faced tough questions and some heckling.

Well that’s shit. I care more for Charlton than I do Maribyrnong.
The ancestral seat was going to go the same way, again (I think) during 2010-11. The predicted wet stuff would have put half the town into Atlantis territory.
There is a bloke who runs a grain carting business on the outskirts of town, who also dabbled in earthmoving – no doubt as a side gig/tax write off. The town had 72 hours’ notice as the water was coming from upstream, so the bloke took his machinery into town, and – off his own bat – built a massive levee all along the creek banks.
The water almost broke the levee, but didn’t – to any great degree, anyway. Town saved, and as far as I know the bloke hasn’t bought a beer since. Probably an extremely savvy business decision as well.

Jack Kranz is still kicking. Must be close to 130 years old by now.
The caravan park referred to above is shit. Nobody gives, or gave a fuck about it.
Hope springs eternal.
The kids like to get hold of the Uniting Church monthly publication “The Crosslight”. You could swear it was written by the Babylon Bee.
It was hugely depressing
JC, makes you think about our own time and possible/probable coming of a similar famine because of the totalitarian climate czars in our midst.
CAS is so not going to happen. You can’t do CAS from high altitude.
Tell that to the Americans who did it with B-1’s in Afghanistan. Laser guided and GPS guided bombs make it a whole new game. Bad guys 200 meters bearing 154 degrees? Tell the B-1 and a couple of minutes later bad guys disappear.
Note also Ka-52 is the only attack helo with ejection seats for the crew. Ejection sequence is rotor blades are blown off followed by crew ejection.
Alot ‘we’ lately.
Speak for yourself.
Wait till the flooding northern Vic rivers get to the Murray, which is already running at capacity to deliver the environmental water to the sea.
Tanya will deliver on the plan. Tanya is very smart and not the least driven by city vote political advantage at the expense of country people.
Are you saying people with heaps of credentials and letters after their names are essentially f*cking useless?
BoN, I see you’ve been reading John Ringo’s Posleen wars series. Giant unstoppable nuclear powered tanks.
Dot – That’s exactly what Elizabeth didn’t do. She dealt with something like fifteen different PMs in her time, ranging from complete nutters to Churchill and Thatcher. Played a straight bat for seventy years.
The biggest problem in Charlton is the rail line is built up and pushes water back into town. There’s one big underpass only.
With banks you could push the extra flow of the water around the town but you hit the rail line in doing so.
Dickhead.
It’s the third course of a Yumcha.
Comes after Tai Chi.
Eyrie – I was actually thinking of the Bolo series. The ones in the Posleen series are technically SPGs, although it might be much of a muchness.
Kamov make very good helicopters. I’m wondering who is going to be the first company to build a copter that can fly faster as now they are limited by rotor tip speed and have been for quite a while. Kamov used be about 1/3 the price of the stuff we buy.

From the article re Vax efficacy:
The Truth About ‘95% Effectiveness’: 95 out of 100 Protected?
In terms of the vaccine’s effectiveness, news reports around the world claim that the vaccine is “95 percent effective.” Most doctors explain to the public that “if 100 people are vaccinated, then 95 will be protected from infection.”
But that is not the case at all.
According to the paper published on Dec. 10, 2020 in the New England Journal of Medicine studied the safety and efficacy of Pfizer’s BNT162b2 mRNA Covid-19 vaccine. Of the 18,325 unvaccinated people, there were 162 symptomatic infections. The infection rate was 0.88 percent. Among the 18,198 vaccinated people, there were 8 infections. The infection rate was 0.04 percent. Then it concluded that “the vaccine was 95% effective in preventing Covid-19.”
However, most people overlooked the fact that 99.12 percent of the population was not infected despite being unvaccinated.
For the total population, the vaccine actually protects only 0.84 percent of the population, which is the real absolute protection rate.
So the real “absolute protection” is out of 10000 people vaccinated, only 84 people (0.84%) will be protected, but not the 95 out of 100 people will be protected, which is a relative protection.
is JC using charm to win arguments again?

kitten corner: things i noticed
Grey Ranga, the problem with helos is retreating blade stall as you fly faster. Bell with the V-280 Valor fix that by turning the aircraft into a fixed wing. Like an Osprey but they learned their lessons and it is much simpler mechanically. Looking good in testing.
The other is the ABC concept where you have co-axial rotors and generate the lift from the advancing blades. See here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikorsky_S-69
The concept has been revived for the S-97 Raider.

My daughter lives near the Maribynong and was evacuated at 5 am this morning . I think the water rose faster than expected. The Anglers Tavern put some sandbags out but nowhere near enough to stop the water.

NYC subway bash suspect blames victim, shows no remorse for brutal beating in exclusive Rikers interview
I wasn’t trying to kill her,” said the oft-arrested Waheed Foster during a rambling hour-long sitdown. “I was just trying to give a real good a-s whooping … If I stomped her in the face, she’d be dead.”
Foster, 41, convicted of murdering his grandmother at the age of 14, flatly admitted the beating of victim Elizabeth Gomes, a 33-year-old mother of two now at risk of losing an eye in the Sept. 20 attack caught on security video inside the Howard Beach-JFK Airport station.
“That’s from my fist,” said the homeless Foster, who made intense eye contact during the interview. “I don’t give a f—k. So what?”

Macron: France Won’t Nuke Russia If Putin Nukes Ukraine
I’m not worried about Russia nuking Ukraine. It took Russia 7 months to even start attacking some urban infrastructure in Ukraine. They are hardly going the razed earth route. What I’m really worried about is America doing it and blaming them.
Anyone know anything about this?

Watch–AOC Confronted for Funding War in Ukraine: ‘You’re Voting to Start … Nuclear War!’
“Congresswoman, none of this matters unless there’s a nuclear war which you voted to send arms and weapons to Ukraine,” one of the two men shouted:
Tulsi Gabbard, she’s left the Democratic Party because they are war hawks. Okay, you originally voted — you ran as an outsider. Yet you’ve been voting to start this war in Ukraine. You’re voting to start a third nuclear war with Russia and China. Why are you playing with the lives of American citizens? You’re playing with our lives. [Emphasis added]
Another man stood up to tell Ocasio-Cortez:
There will be no neighbors if there’s a nuclear bomb. You voted to mobilize and send money to Ukrainian Nazis. You’re a coward. You’re a progressive socialist? Where are you against the war mobilization? He’s telling the right truth. You have done nothing. Tulsi Gabbard has shown guts where you’ve shown cowardice. I believed in you and you became the very same thing you sought to fight against. That’s what you’ve become. You are the establishment and you are the reason why everybody will end up in a nuclear war unless you choose to stand up right now and denounce the Democratic Party. Will you do that? Yes or no? [Emphasis added]
Ocasio-Cortez can be heard suggesting that there is “a line” between being an anti-war proponent and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, to which the man responded: “There is no line because this is bullshit. None of this matters if we’re all dead. None of it. You know that.”
“… we could be in a nuclear war at any minute and you continue to fund it. That’s what’s going on … you’re the liar here. Nobody has held you accountable,” the man continued. “That’s what’s happening. And it is time for you to stand up and realize that what you’ve been saying has been lies. Let your conscience come through for once.”
January 6 Committee Subpoenas President Donald Trump
From the Comments
Trump should show up and just repeat the following:
This committee is a Political Clown Show and just another version of the Russia Hoax…instead of focusing on helping the American people through these terrible economic times, you clowns are spending their time and money on your Trump Derangement Syndrome…shame on every one of you.
The election Fraud was Massive and resulted in a stolen election.
People showing up at the capital to protest a stolen election is not Insurrection…Let me educate you corrupt clowns on what an Insurrection actually is:
Stealing an election is Insurrection…
Using the power of the government to Persecute your political opponents is Insurrection…
Holding your political opponents in prison for exercising their right to peacefully protest without due process is Insurrection…
Burning down our cities is Insurrection…
Refusing to secure our borders is Insurrection…
Funding a fake Dossier and pushing it through the corrupt Media to take down a Duly Elected President because you are mad you lost the election is Insurrection…
Having the corrupt FBI and DOJ pursue the Clinton Funded and Created Fake Russia Dossier even when they KNEW from the beginning it was fake to take down a President is INSURRECTION.
Joe Biden is Corrupt and has been enriching himself for 50 plus years at the expense of the Taxpayer…in fact he is so corrupt, that you corrupt clowns even Impeached me for trying to expose his corruption with Ukraine which he admitted to on video for everyone to see.
The Democrats and their RINO enablers destroyed this country and need to be voted out of office by massive margins to overcome their cheating.
Americans Miss Mean Tweets, Cheap Gas, Energy Independence, Low Inflation, A booming Stock Market, World Peace, and a President that doesn’t have Dementia and does not need to wear a Diaper.
The resulting meltdown of the corruptocrats and their brownshirts in the media would be beyond epic.
If it’s any consolation, I hear Prof. Flim Flammery is presently out of a job.
Putin quotes Milton Friedman in relation to energy price caps
My special friend is a surveyor and tells me all government departments use the 100 year flood mark. Not sure if this is an arbitrary figure but he told me a few days ago that Seymour would flood and all houses there had to be built on high foundations because of flood levels . Every place surveyed is done using those figures. MSM refers to floods 70 years ago as the highest level ever. BTW Andrew’s has been putting water from desalination plant into the dams . Can he be sued if dams overflow and cause more damage?
I think they’ve still got a long way to go Eyrie. Maybe that’s it as far as helicopters go? Politicians ultimately decide, poking money into something that does everything never is a good idea but good for kickbacks for a long time. Horses, camels and committee’s come to mind. Sooner or later you have to decide what you want to do. Defence is not a Swiss Army knife.
