I’ll go out on a limb and say Yellowstone is the best TV series ever. Just watched the burial scene episode 4, series 5. Superb.
Couple of reports on YouTube, Mark Steyn being one, about the takeover of central London last night by young Albanian males celebrating Albania’s national day. Mercs, Lamborghinis, Porsches doing spin outs on bridges and roads so the cops shut down normal traffic and let them go at it. The Albanians are all there as refugees and asylum seekers.
Not a word about this anywhere that I’ve seen in our media. I was going to say ‘astonishing’ but then again …..

Well that obviously didn’t work. He’s coming to Aus with a 20 venue tour in April next year. Might buy tickets as I haven’t been to a concert for a while. Acker Bilk I think……Melbourne in the 60s and a girl I was with bought the tickets. I didn’t.

Did followspot for a Don McLean concert in Qld in about 1986.
He didn’t say more than 20 words to the audience in the entire performance.
Lara 277 and Tendulkar 160 odd in the famed SCG. Both their first tours. Tendulkar made 3 tons as a 17 year old. FMD.
But if Benaud sez Lara’s innings is one of the greatest on Australian soil, I won’t complain.

Ender, she’s a Sheila. Plus
Likely to be partially non-white. Big plus
Looks upper middle class and the Beamer will help cement that perception. I dunno as it could even be slightly neutral to ever so slight neg. Call it neutral because she’s partially non-euro.
Sheila in car being frightening by men in black and does a runner totally panicked. Huge plus.
She’s not going to jail, but could see he license suspended.
I’m calling it 3 years probation and 3 year license suspension. 🙂
I love lawyer talk. It’s so predictable – so non-caring but caring at the same time.
Yea, I’m sure her heart goes out .
N?ew Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has shot down suggestions she is hosting Finland’s Sanna Marin due to the women being of similar age.

3. Fuentes has been described as a white supremacist
4. Kanye invites Fuentes out to have dins with Trump meaning those two are pals.

Dutch Farming Crisis
From Armstrong Economics –
“This is one of those unbelievable stories of how Climate Change is being taken to such an extreme, we will unleash a serious wave of deaths from both starvation and coming freezing temperatures without fuel. The Dutch government actually is planning to buy out and close as many as 3,000 farms in the country, which set off a major protest with growers stood against their insane leaders’ attempt to now cut the country’s nitrogen emissions by 50% according to the EU deadline of 2030. This is all in the face of a total lack of ANY scientific evidence that any of this has ever changed the climate which has historically always changed.
Nobody will address how all the so-called scientists swore we were headed into an ice age during the 1970s. Then Al Gore singled handedly turned it around and said no – it’s global warming. Then to cope with bouts of cold weather, they called it Climate Change so if it was hot or cold they would NEVER be wrong.
These Dutch politicians have now said that they plan to allocate some $25 billion to buy out farmers stripping them of their farms and livelihood. They want to now purchase between 2,000 and 3,000 Dutch farms stripping them of their property rights and the very freedom that is the distinction between a free society and an authoritarian dream of relentless and endless power.
Where the Great Depression was made really “great” because there was also an environmental crisis known as the Dust Bowl, this time politicians want to create the same crisis all over again. Agriculture accounted for 40% of the Civil Workforce at the time in the USA. This is what drove unemployment to 25%. This time, we have politicians deliberately seeking to create a major food crisis all in the name of Climate Change.
It took the Dow Jones Industrials 26 years to ever retest the 1929 high. The Great Depression upended the civil workforce. It took World War II to create employment and to reduce the world population to enable everything to restart from square one. Ironically, it took the combustion engine to replace the labor in agriculture just to prevent massive starvation. Now that is what they want to destroy in addition to crops.
The Dutch plan to halve its nitrogen emissions by 2030 in accordance with European Union conservation rules, looks to be far more drastic. To meet that target, the government estimates that 11,200 farms will have to close, and 17,600 others will have to reduce their livestock numbers significantly.
What we must understand is that just back in the 1980s, the Netherlands was deeply concerned that they would be unable to feed its 17 million people. They were on a mission to produce twice as much food using half as many resources in a country that is just a bit bigger than the state of Maryland.
Netherlands’ policies to expand food production were accomplished and they became the world’s second-largest exporter of agricultural products by value behind the United States. Therefore, this sudden attack on farming is more than just a U-Turn. With the Netherlands as a major food producer is among the largest exporters of agricultural and food technology, this threatens food shortages spreading as a contagion.
The Netherlands produces 4 million cows, 13 million pigs, and 104 million chickens annually and is Europe’s biggest meat exporter. The EU is out to upend the economy of the Netherlands all for this fictional Climate Change theory. The Netherlands also provides vegetables to much of Western Europe. They have nearly 24,000 acres — almost twice the size of Manhattan — of crops grown in greenhouses that require less fertilizer and water. Dutch farms use only a half-gallon of water to grow about a pound of tomatoes, while the global average is more than 28 gallons.
What is taking place in the Netherlands is a very dark omen for humanity. The most efficient nation on earth for producing food is to be destroyed all for CO2. These people will not be satisfied until the death rate rises and civil unrest explodes as people turn hungry. As they say – even an honest man will become a thief when starving.”

From the above link
Essentially, the West are looking for cheap and frankly non-legal ways to “prosecute” Russia with no standing in International Law. The West are trying to hold show-trials as a means of propaganda/theater against Russia and more importantly as means of DEFLECTION from their legitimate crimes against humanity committed in Ukraine, because they have lost their control on the narrative.
While Russia have been operating through the proper diplomatic channels to sound the alarm on US/NATO war crimes in Ukraine via biological production and usage, the West have been dismissing these allegations as “Russian Disinformation” for months, despite the large body of incontrovertible evidence.
What we are witnessing is that the mechanics of UN are heavily flawed. Any of the permanent members of the Security Council have immunity to commit crimes against humanity as much as they like, because they can veto any UN action or investigations into themselves.
Objectively speaking, Russia are 100% in the right, and the West are simply acting like Democrats; using projection, deflection, deceit, lies, and propaganda, to keep the public unaware of the growing allegations of US biological malfeasance in Ukraine.
Imagine if the opposite were true. Imagine if Russia used espionage to start a violent civil war to overthrow a nation on our border, let’s call it Canada, then established a puppet government and used Canada as a proxy for all their biological research, money laundering, child trafficking, drug trafficking, human experimentation, etc. And then we find out they are making biological weapons on our border and are trying to put nukes there as well, and then a global shutdown is justified via a genetically enhanced pathogen (bioweapon) that “escaped” as a result of this biological malfeasance going on on our border.

Custard – It’s the credentialization of journalism. The Left controls journalism training and excludes anyone without the ‘correct’ viewpoints. Then the journos rise in media companies and in turn exclude righties from those companies.
The war over social media is fun because it is decentralized at the user level but centralized at the ownership level. As a result the Left set out to capture the likes of Twitter, and did so. But then Gab, Parler etc started up, and the big boys have been playing whack a mole trying to suppress them.
A bit like Trump illuminating the scurrying rats of the deep state, Elon is now doing the same thing to social media companies. And deep staters like the EU are reacting with predictable hostility.
It’ll be interesting to see how it goes: either a serious crack up to sweep away these oligarchs, or global fascism. At the moment the latter is looking more likely than the former, because the EU, China, Russia, Biden’s USA, the UK, Canada and us here in Australia are all becoming increasingly fascist in order to push things like climate and covid controls. That’s basically all of the top level technology nations.
According to a Trafalgar Group survey 10.2% of Americans have either moved to a state whose administration aligns with their beliefs in the last three years or plan to do so in the next year.

‘The Voice’ supporters peddling a giant fantasy
Jacinta Price and the Nationals seem to be the only ones with the guts to speak the truth about the giant fantasy that is ‘The Voice’.
Andrew Bolt
Activists pushing Labor’s Aboriginal-only parliament say they want a kinder, more tolerant Australia. Many even believe them.
But just listen to the rantings this week of Noel Pearson – 17 minutes of poison broadcast by the ABC.
Pearson is an architect of Labor’s plan for what it calls the “Voice” and wants it cemented into our constitution for our “reconciliation”.
Reconciliation? From the likes of Pearson, accused some time ago by two women, separately, of calling them a “white c—”? (Pearson denies it.)
On Wednesday, Pearson turned his rage against an Aboriginal woman – Nationals Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price.
Price had the day before joined her leader, David Littleproud, in announcing the Nationals would oppose this Voice as it should be opposed, not on detail but as a matter of fundamental principle.
Price, daughter of a Celtic father and Aboriginal mother, said creating an Aboriginal-only parliament was racist: “Why can’t we do as what we fought for, be recognised as Australian citizens in this country, treated equally, not above anybody else and not below anybody else?”
Price and Littleproud were also clear this Voice would not fix Aboriginal poverty.
Again, they were right, but the Nationals’ decision seemed to shock ABC journalists and activists, too used to people being too scared to resist Labor’s racist plan.
That night Laura Tingle, the ABC’s chief political correspondent, called the Nationals’ stand “disturbing” and “a really unfortunate divide”.
But the real onslaught came the next morning, when ABC Radio National host Patricia Karvelas let Pearson vomit 17 minutes of uninterrupted hatred and abuse.
First, he ridiculed Littleproud as “Littlepride”, calling him a “boy” and “kindergarten child”, leading a “squalid” party that “couldn’t give a stuff” about Aborigines.
Then he put the boot into Price, claiming she was just a careerist caught in a “tragic celebrity redneck vortex” and controlled by racist “string pullers” whose strategy was “to find a blackfella to punch down on other blackfellas”.
I heard no reconciliation there, just a bully being as cruel as he could to not just intimidate Price but warn off anyone else thinking of criticising this Voice.
And Karvelas, employed by the supposedly impartial national broadcaster, didn’t utter a squeak of protest as Pearson monstered this Aboriginal woman and vilified Littleproud. She praised him instead: “That’s a really interesting analysis.”
Yet there were many questions to ask Pearson, and not just about the High Court one day turning this supposedly advisory parliament into something with real power, by forcing our real parliament to consider its every suggestion.
Pearson could have been picked up on his sneer that he’d heard nothing “in Jacinta’s rhetoric” offering “solutions for people back at Aurukun, for people at Yuendumu, for my people”.
Well, Pearson is sure expert in no solutions for Aurukun.
Aurukun is one of four Aboriginal towns in Cape York, and part of Pearson’s Cape York Initiative, which has been showered with state and federal money to get children into school and adults into work.
Just 3000 people were covered by this scheme, and governments gave Pearson’s Cape York projects as much as $150m over eight years, or $50,000 for each man, woman and child.
But the results have been terrible in education, jobs and crime. Two years ago, 300 Aurukun residents fled their homes after rioters went wild.
That tells us something about the prime minister’s justification this week for his Aboriginal-only parliament – that it would just allow Aborigines to be consulted about decisions affecting them.
But Aboriginal leaders are already consulted, a lot, and few more than Pearson. None has had such freedom to even design welfare programs.
Yet it still failed, just like so many other programs have failed – as we learned again on Wednesday with the release of the latest figures on Aboriginal welfare.
They failed not because of a lack of consultation but because the whole model is wrong.
You cannot glorify Aboriginal traditions, and have people live out bush, far from real work, living a kind of Aboriginal way, and expect western standards of wealth, education and wellbeing.
That’s the giant fantasy peddled by backers of the Voice. In fact, the Aborigines thriving best are not the ones now treated as some separate species. They are Aborigines who have integrated.
Price and the Nationals have the guts to say so, because they care as much as the people behind the Voice say they do.
That deserves respect and calm debate, not this foul abuse. Or is Pearson angry because he cannot deny the truths they dare speak?

Excess sadness is a disease of the mind, but mild sadness is the mark of a well-conditioned mind, according to the present state of life.

I have no interest at all in Qanon, which is an attention-seeking puerile beat-up of contrived coincidences, doing a specialty in salaciousness, but I am glad that the excesses of the high fashion industry dabbling in pedo and some other edges of human nastiness have come to light with the Balenciaga ads that went mainstream public with this stuff. If follows on the heels of heroic chic. When fashion over-reaches itself to this extent in its search for imaginative novelty and market share in boundary pushing, descending from a dramatising amorality into pure evil, then it is time for a few fashion houses to fall. Balenciaga first.
Some of those ‘artistic’ child images found in the delving that has followed these ads are horrific.
A ‘natural’ follow on though of drag-queen story hour and other approved sexualisation of children.

Mater, I read when I can, and am busy working.
Today is raining and therefore stopped harvest.
I do feel for you and understand that you have kept your sanity in all this.
I know you are jabbed, and you want others to understand you were forced.
The problem is you THINK you were forced but you weren’t.
I , like you, cannot go against the principles I live by.
You may not like to hear other men talling it how they believe it to be, but in the meantime, you did let your wife ….an hysterical female….threaten you with leaving AND TAKING THE KIDS if you didn’t comply.
There is right and there is wrong.
She nor anyone else in this world has no right to take your children away from you.
They need to know that you are in charge of the outcomes should someone attempt to do this to you, and not the government…and there will be consequences.
She started it, not you.
It is not over the top to hold that position, it is just and right.
That is a criminal act against you that should not be tolerated or threatened.
You caved to it.
Looking at the lack of a decent father figure to show you what being a husband (and head of the house….in compassion and righteousness…means, I understand.
So now the situation you find yourself in, is terrible.
So I ask, what is your wife saying now?
Now the deaths are really taking off?
Now she sees and maybe is experiencing the sickness herself?
I am only getting personal because you don’t seem to mind, as you spoke about your father yesterday.
I would never let

Real Time Election Fraud, how it’s done, by Jay Valentine.
(by the time the good guys figure it out, the election is over and can’t be corrected)
American Thinker
Links to https://www.omega4america.com/who-we-are/
We bring disruptive technologies to market to solve problems that elude any current technology.
Some of our team members built the eBay fraud detection engine, stopping on-line auction fraud that eluded neural nets and conventional fraud technology.
Some of that technology was used in the TSA No-Fly List to stop terrorists from changing their names to avoid detection and attack commercial air traffic.
Our technologies were used by most of the Top 10 property casualty insurers to thwart auto accident fraud rings.
We believe ALL public databases must meet the same requirements as corporate financial statements as outlined in the Sarbanes-Oxley legislation. Voter rolls in particular need to be cleaned – removing fake addresses and phantom voters.
We believe all public record databases must be visible to any citizen, at silicon speed, on their phone, able to be cross searched against any other public database, regardless of format. We make that happen now for over a dozen states’ voter integrity teams.
Data in the 21st Century is like Oil in the 18th Century: an immensely, untapped valuable asset. Like oil, for those who see Data’s fundamental value and learn to extract and use it there will be huge rewards.
WIRED MAGAZINE
We apply a new tech stack, Fractal Programming, to public record databases enabling citizens to access public records, cross search them, determine if they reconcile, check them for accuracy, and get that data on their phone – instantly.
We currently run almost 2 billion records for state election records alone.
We witnessed every state’s voter rolls are abhorrent – fake addresses, phantom voters – who vote in every election even though they live in a U.P.S. box.
There are registered voters older than George Washington still voting. There are 106 year old frat boys in a frat house still voting.
When we added Federal Election Commission data, we found political candidates in 2022 receiving donations in 2038 – time travel is alive!
The state of the most important public data, on which we choose our leaders is appalling.
This web site reports much of our journey.

Sanctimony much?
I think you should butt out of Mater’s marriage, Struth.
It is none of your business.
Here is true insanity.
Yesterday, Monty declares he is a man of science.
He declares that the jabs he took, caused the cold he caught (now known as covid 19) to be much less severe than it otherwise would have been.
My god.
Think about the level of stupidity in that reasoning.
One.
He could never have known how severe his cold would have been without it, and we were told by the “science” (communist propagandists) that covid could be so mild as to be asymptomatic…..before there was a pretend vaccine.
Now the point I make is this.
Monty has been brainwashed to the point of insanity.
He can’t think logically anymore.
Yet while many of you will see that quite clearly in Monty, you can’t see it in yourselves.
Although not completely swallowing the crap like Monty, many of you aren’t far off joining him in the padded cell.
Denialism is causing this.
The truth is too much for your teeny tiny brains,,,………..
Don’t start on me you selfish old moo.
I put that he doesn’t seem to mind telling us about his personal stuff, and I’d like to know what his stupid bloody woman, who like you and Rosie and many others went fucking hysterical about covid, you particularly looking for any excuse to jab yourself, pretending to have superior knowledge and researched it all…
You were dribbling shit the whole time.
You wanted to go jetsetting.
So I’m allowed to ask Mater a question and he has every right to tell me to fuck off, however, why don’t you practice what you preach.
You’ve done nothing but embarrass yourself over the last two years.
You are nothing but gullible, too trusting, rich boomers unprepared to give away what you had become accustomed to, and looked for ever excuse and theory to excuse yourself from what others took on.
Designing dresses for pre-adolescent boys was one of the accusations tied to the trend.
Top fashion mag, Roger, who bought into the bleak-faced heroin chic androgenous look in their models just as did the whole of the fashion industry until a backlash started about five years ago.
The counterpoint movement has been such that now we find Victoria’s Secret lingerie models are all plus size, and its catalogue is no longer a gentleman’s delight. Big is suddenly beautiful. lol.
In reality, big is about as lovely as heroin chic although not quite as closely aligned to the cultural underbelly of dissolution as the glamorising of the dregs of drugs. America’s food addiction is on display in the ‘big’ movement. Many Americans are grossly obese; all those ‘comfort’ airline seats on local flights available at extra expense are sentinel to the number of big munchers.

The Albanese government faces a war with veterans groups if it allows officers to be stripped of “distinguished” service medals for failing to prevent war crimes in Afghanistan unless the alleged crimes are proved in court.

Then publicly and loudly disbanding the witch hunt against the operators involved, preferably with Ben Roberts-Smith alongside him on the podium.
It would show the Morriswine Libs as the knackerless catamites they have been on this issue and allow Labor to place themselves as ‘friend of the Diggers’ for a generation.

I have to say the colonial past is looking better than the modern mess we’re currently stuck in. The aboriginal people were a whole lot more healthy to start with, and weren’t being used as pawns by totalitarian fascists. But then Mr Dodson is ALP, so on the side of the fascists.

Notorious Paywallian panty buncher Gideon Haigh says don’t get your panties in a bunch about Australian cricketers taking a knee.
Well what I am really asking Mater is you had many threatening you to take the jab.
So you took it.
Now what have they to say to you?
You father was disgusting it seems.
And a realist is a realist.
You, unlike many here, are a realist.
So am I.
That is why I cannot for the life of me condone you killing yourself by taking the jab….for any reason, for there is no reason and none of your loved ones should have expected you to sacrifice your life WHEN THERE WERE OTHER OPTIONS.
And there were other options.
Maybe not good options, but options none the less.
And better options than jabbing yourself.
Nothing warrants that.
Personal integrity must be practiced not only by men, but by those around him .
That is the position I have always held.
For example, if I had to get jabbed to see my dying mother, my dying mother would prefer she die alone than to know I had to take the death jab to see her.
The whole jabathon’s success is predicated on a lack of Christian ethics in the whole of society and combined with women being raised above their station (YES I SAID THAT) and too involved in society’s decision making processes …which then slaps us all in the face once they lose their shit to hysterical fear.
Another in the endless series of “WE PREDICTED THIS YOU MONGS”…
Australia’s energy crisis is widening the gulf between rich and poor households according to a new report that shows costs accelerating much faster for consumers on low and middle incomes.
This is exactly what you want.
You are designing the electricity grid to produce this exact outcome.
How very dare you sit there, sucking your teeth and making mooing noises about how awful and unpredictable this is.
It noted households earning $150,000 a year spent about 1.9 per cent of their disposable income on energy.
However, for those households in the lowest income bracket, the proportion of their cashflow being spent on energy was as much as 12 per cent or more.
And ECA concluded the divide was getting worse, with the rate of increase going up to eight times faster for lower income customers than wealthier ones.
In breaking news, wealthy people less affected by poverty than the poor, film at 11!
…
ynne Gallagher, the boss of ECA, said the trend was a worry and came against a backdrop of rapidly falling consumer confidence in the market.
There is no market you low rent spastics, there is a deliberately gamed and fake market put in place to ensure carpetbaggers make as much loot as possible by genuflecting to shrines of Gretas holy hole.
….
Ms Gallagher said a big part of the problem was the declining health of the national electricity market, which supplies more than 10 million customers across Australia’s eastern seaboard.
She said record high prices in the spot market caused by global shortages of coal and gas supplies had driven some retailers to the wall and others to withdraw.
Lying liars who lie lyingly. Parts of the east coast are floating on a sea of low grade thermal coal which has been banned from being used by the same low rent turds who are profiting from the “market”.
Victoria is home to the second largest brown coal resource in the world. This low cost and abundant resource has ensured the supply of affordable and reliable electricity that has supported our economic prosperity for nearly a century.
…
Eight chimneys at Victoria’s defunct, coal-fired Hazelwood power station have been demolished.
We are ruled over by utter morons, or we are ruled over by thieving grifters, take your pick.

Wally – no spoilers, the radio show themes are meant to be a surprise. Except when they aren’t.
Listen Struth, putting aside all the issues of family pressure, pending job loss, etc, what it came down to was when Dan used my kids as a lever.
He was irreversibly damaging my children’s future and they were eventually pressured into agreeing to have it. My right to veto it was removed. Like I’ve done for my entire military career, I was NOT going to standby and watch those who I was responsible for, do something that I wasn’t willing to do myself. One in, all in.
BTW, my wife respected my (and my children’s) stance, and stood by me. Dan eventually made it impossible for her to stand by me, because I was a second class citizen. It was ripping our family apart, and his statement (19 Oct 21) that it was an indefinite arrangement, certainly didn’t help.
What you are not understanding is that being unwillingly vaccinated, I’ve been able to fight this rubbish and provide a counterpoint infinitely more effectively than if I was unemployed. Unvaccinated people are now still employed, because I was jabbed. That doesn’t make me a hero, but it highlights that if all the principled people self isolate from the process, the opposition win by default.
How about…We are ruled by morons in thrall to thieving grifters.

Smells like…. VICTORY!
Its not something Im predicting happening, but I struggle to see a downside for the ALP if they did so.
As an older woman with a history of bronchiectasis and high blood pressure I have no regrets about taking the Astra-Zenica jab against the Alpha variant of Covid, Struth. I had the same approximate risk of dying (one in a million) from a Yellow Fever jab, and have no regrets about taking that either, although the risk of getting Yellow Fever was thousands of times less. The initial Alpha variant was quite virulent and although it was and still is contentious those early AZ jabs likely did save lives amongst the elderly and amongst heavily exposed medical staff and probably travellers too. My body my choice there. I have never supported the Pfizer jabs.
Later iterations became far less virulent, as we might expect with a respiratory contact virus. Covid has morphed now into a cold easily thrown off; it was more than that at the start, severe Alpha Covid was also a vascular disease with some long-term impacts. I signed the Great Barrington Declaration medical section using my qualification as MPH in October 2020, so I did my bit early on against lockdowns and mandatory vaxxing as good practice in the face of any epidemic which decent epidemiology has always suggested. I also published in June 2020 in Quadrant outlining some queries concerning Covid management. So shut your moaning face, Struth.
As for travel and returning to normal. I travel freely now. I am glad to get back for myself these last few good years, having lost two of them to Covid already, so that I can live my life my way. You go on and live your life your way. Just stop being a bore here bothering others with your saintliness.
Good to see Prince Phillip’s death doesn’t mean the death of old, geriatric racists at Buckingham Palace. The young Coloured was lucky she didn’t get asked to fetch an extra bread roll.
Whether Sancho is alive or not, the process of talking common sense, and to be able to get passed his never ending bullshit to make this blog one which can discuss things sanely and intelligently, and BRUTALLY HONESTLY, with energy and passion is much more likely.

Put the phones down, try a Martini and some deep breathing. Go on.
Latest FBI crime stats:
The FBI released its official crime tally for 2016 today, and the data flies in the face of the rhetoric that professional athletes rehearsed in revived Black Lives Matter protests over the weekend. Nearly 900 additional blacks were killed in 2016 compared with 2015, bringing the black homicide-victim total to 7,881. Those 7,881 “black bodies,” in the parlance of Ta-Nehisi Coates, are 1,305 more than the number of white victims (which in this case includes most Hispanics) for the same period, though blacks are only 13 percent of the nation’s population. The increase in black homicide deaths last year comes on top of a previous 900-victim increase between 2014 and 2015.
Who is killing these black victims? Not whites, and not the police, but other blacks. In 2016, the police fatally shot 233 blacks, the vast majority armed and dangerous, according to the Washington Post. The Post categorized only 16 black male victims of police shootings as “unarmed.” That classification masks assaults against officers and violent resistance to arrest. Contrary to the Black Lives Matter narrative, the police have much more to fear from black males than black males have to fear from the police. In 2015, a police officer was 18.5 times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male was to be killed by a police officer. Black males have made up 42 percent of all cop-killers over the last decade, though they are only 6 percent of the population. That 18.5 ratio undoubtedly worsened in 2016, in light of the 53 percent increase in gun murders of officers—committed vastly and disproportionately by black males. Among all homicide suspects whose race was known, white killers of blacks numbered only 243.
A constant struggle for many of us.

Sancho was often extremely amusing, a true rapier wit.
I hope he is OK.

BTW, my kids and I were vaxxed post the implementation of the ‘vaccine economy’, so it didn’t positively contribute to tyranny of anyone else. Critical mass had already been reached, and that ship had sailed.
My kids and I were never going to contribute to the critical mass. My decision effected only myself. I should be dead 10 times over because of the shit I’ve done in my career. What’s another one?
Ergh…Pockock’s quid pro quo?
The future is electric.
I don’t think he is a fav on the Right. I think what you’re noticing is that some on the Right are more sceptical of anti-Putinist propaganda, believe that most political leaders are like him, and/or more concerned about the foibles of their own leaders than those overseas.
A lot of these statements reflect the situation either during Yeltsin’s years, or the early years of Putin. The latest figure re abortion is that it has declined to what is about normal in the West.

Killing yourself effects your future.
Do you get that?
He too couldn’t really grasp silly old dad’s over reaction to this jab.
But he’s been sick often and swears he won’t have a booster.
Would you have a booster now, Mater?
Would you honestly do the same thing again?
It makes all your other arguments ones that seem to me can only be made by someone who doesn’t really think that death is the reality of these jabs.
That is the reality.
However, you can’t really believe it, hence your decisions.
I do believe it.
Sooner or later, and sooner than you would otherwise go.
Not every jab taker will be dead in four years, some will be sooner, like Choo Choo, but by four years (it should be by now without denialism) KD won’t be sneering….at all.
But I also believe that people, even though some being heavily in denial, can’t keep pushing out the truth seen around them.
The thought that you did it to yourself and what may come at any moment (because you did it to yourself) is a psychological nightmare that cannot be dealt with unless the truth is denied.
Once that truth is denied………a fantasy world is lived in.
One we are seeing now, where the Victorian elections……. can’t be questioned (it’s the trusting world of 1960’s Australia!) regarding their integrity, or what the war in Ukraine is really all about, etc etc.
There was never a good enough reason to let anyone get jabbed in my opinion.
Time is on my side and unfortunately, I’m looking at being totally correct about it all…and in the time frame KD scoffs at.
Worth it?
Not at all.
Letting them kill you, and own you is not winning.
You haven’t won a thing mater, and to think you have is denialism.
ROME, Nov 24 (Reuters) – Italy’s only Black lawmaker suspended himself from his left-wing party on Thursday after his family was accused of mismanaging funds and exploiting staff at two associations meant to help immigrants.
The growing scandal has dealt a severe political blow to Aboubakar Soumahoro, Italy’s best-known activist for migrants’ rights who only entered parliament last month after winning a seat in a national election for his Green and Left party.
“Reform”…
But the Queensland government is now set to introduce reforms to parliament that the attorney general, Shannon Fentiman, says will modernise birth certificates to make sure a person’s legal identity matches their lived identity.
The bill will also allow for two mothers or two fathers on a birth certificate, or for them simply to be listed as parents. And while parents will still need to register a sex for their child in the registry, it would no longer appear on the certificate unless parents opt for it.
…
Fentiman expects to introduce the bill on Friday and says the reforms are intended to begin in 2024, allowing “sufficient time to ensure appropriate processes are in place at the registry”.
Wells says she will be there the minute she is legally allowed to do so.
“I have no doubt there will be euphoria.”
Struth, I’m the purest of the pure when it comes to anti-vaccination. You criticise others for succumbing and taking the clotshot but let’s be honest, compared to me you’re a deadset junkie.
My kids: Zero vaccines. Zero antibiotics. Zero doctor visits for illness.
It isn’t a stretch to say I am the most consistently anti-vaccine person who has ever lived.
Now, if I can accept Mater’s reasoning for getting the vaccine I don’t see why you can’t.

A group that works with organisations on issues of diversity and inclusivity says it may be time to cancel Christmas. The call comes after new statistics showed that less than half of the population of England and Wales described themselves as Christian in the 2021 census, meaning that Christianity is now a minority religion.
But the UK still has a ‘heavy emphasis on celebrating the birth of Jesus’, according to Watch This Sp_ce, an award-winning diversity and inclusion consultancy. They say that, from November onwards, the decorations in town centres, the advertising on our televisions, the constant emails from retailers, all imply that everyone will be celebrating on December 25.
But they say many people feel left out and excluded from the celebrations, while their own religious or spiritual festival is ignored, and more feel under pressure to spend large mounts of money for ‘no real reason’.
Watch This Sp_ce says that, at work, these issues are ‘loaded into a pressure cooker’, hoghlighting people in the team that don’t celebrate at this time of year, forcing them to either ‘conform to a religion they don’t believe in’ or stand out as a highly visible minority amongst their teammates, who may well be labelling them Scrooge.
Watch This Sp_ce us encouraging organisations to reconsider their approach to the festive season. Co-Creator Allegra Chapman said: “Christmas can be a time of fun and joy, but it is also filled with stresses, challenges and discomfort. Rather than forcing everyone to celebrate in an old-fashioned way, in the name of ‘just a bit of fun’, there is a great opportunity for organisations to take a fresh look at how and why they bring their teams together.”
Watch This Sp_ce said we don’t have to cancel Christmas altogether, but ‘perhaps it is time to rethink how we celebrate it’.
Here are some ways that organisations can make their festive season, and the whole year, more inclusive of everyone, according to Watch This Sp_ce.
1) Ask your staff what they want
If you collect clear demographic data on your staff, you probably already have a good idea of the mix of religious festivals that are celebrated amongst your team. (If not, that data will be invaluable in all sorts of ways, so now’s a good time to start collecting it.) Either way, it’s worth asking questions about how important Christmas is to them, whether they enjoy celebrating it at work, how they enjoy celebrating at work, what they don’t enjoy, and what other festivals they would like to celebrate.
2) Make a calendar
Creating a calendar of religious and secular celebrations means that you can mark all of them. Sending a simple email round to say Eid Mubarak to all staff, or wish everyone a Happy Diwali, for example, takes little time and effort but helps everyone to feel included and valued. You can also use this knowledge in your external marketing to celebrate with your customers or clients. If you know you have a high number of people who practice a particular religion in your team, you may want to find out from them how you can mark their festivals in a respectful way in the workplace.
3) Be flexible
If some staff prefer to take time off for Diwali but work over Christmas, then offer them that option if possible. Even if that involves them working from home over the Christmas period, and it may require you to trust them to work while their line manager is on festive leave. Having faith in your staff is the cornerstone of inclusion – if you know that they are capable of doing their job, and you have set them clear objectives within reasonable timeframes, then there is no reason why they can’t complete their tasks without someone standing over them.
4) Celebrate purposefully
Rather than enforcing awkward socialising for the sake of Christmas, maybe it’s time to reconsider how and why you bring your staff together. Celebrating milestones in your achievements as a team, throughout the year, and bringing people together in a way that helps them to get to know one another and understand their work is much more powerful than everyone drunkenly draping tinsel over each other. You might choose to have a spring, summer, autumn and winter celebration, for example, where you reflect on progress, recognise successes and think ahead to the coming season. If your work dos are going to involve alcohol, which might well be what the majority of your team want, make sure that there are plenty of alternatives available and that drinks are just an accompaniment to the event rather than the reason everyone is there. The idea is to allow everyone to connect and socialise, not to encourage everyone to get wasted
On balance, I miss Sancho too- like Lizzie says, he was quick off the mark.
I’m not an anti vaxxer Figures.
You are.
I,ve taken many vaccines in my life.
Tested vaccines that worked, not death jabs.
The jab was never a vaccine.
And we knew it from the start, and it was explained here well before they even introduced it.
See, unlike the jabbed denialists, I still have a functioning memory.
Remember before the introduced the jabs, we so called conspiracy theorists were telling all and sundry the jabs were coming.
“The virus is to introduce the jab and the jab is to introduce the passport”.
That was repeated adnauseum before the jab was even introduced.
I take it you’re not posting from Africa or India.

1. Fuentes has Mexican heritage.
2.Kanye is black.
3. Fuentes has been described as a white supremacist
4. Kanye invites Fuentes out to have dins with Trump meaning those two are pals.
Has anyone in the media thought about squaring this circle?
JC – who cares, it’s just bloody hilarious.
Almost sounds like three adults with some different views sitting down to dinner and possibly discussing them. I wonder if Jared Kushner joined them?
You can’t block someone when they are right in front of you. You can do the lefts electronic equivalent of running away with your fingers in your ears going “la, la, la, I can’t hear you!”
Most importantly, did Don have two scoops of ice cream and what flavours did everyone have?
Ursula von der Leyen’s slip of the tongue yesterday, later airbrushed, was interesting. She let out that Ukraine has suffered over 100K KIA, which would put their casualties to date at about 400K when you include WIA. This is a higher loss rate than that suffered by the Americans in WW2 and they were fighting in multiple theatres.

The fall of crypto billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried has been painted as a big blow to the Democratic party, whose candidates were major beneficiaries of his largesse. But in a new interview, Bankman-Fried has claimed he gave equally large amounts of money to Republicans.
“I donated to both parties. I donated about the same amount to both parties,” Bankman-Fried told the crypto commentator and citizen journalist Tiffany Fong.
“All my Republican donations were dark,” he said, referring to political donations that are not publicly disclosed. “The reason was not for regulatory reasons, it’s because reporters freak the fuck out if you donate to Republicans. They’re all super liberal, and I didn’t want to have that fight.”
Give the bullshit a rest Lizzie.
You’re a good bullshit artist but time has caught up with you.
Let’s just pulll this crap apart …once….as I have better things to do with my life, and my points are well made and now we just wait and watch for just how long the denialists are going to hold onto the bullshit as the deaths grow.
No Lizzie…..you have a much much greater chance of being one of the 2000 excess deaths recorded in Australia each month by the BoS themselves….so who knows how high it really is……
The Alpha varient was the yearly flu which MYSTERIOUSL DISAPPEARED and killed the usual number flus do each year………actually less…..
No it’s not contentious….they’ve admitted it does nothing and it definitely doesn’t stop transmission….something a vaccine has never done, as the sane recall,…..
Yeah, that’s right oh priveleged one, your body your choice even when it came with a passport…one you, like Rosie used……..you didn’t have to, but you did.
Fighting this is for the poor paddies like struth and co, after all.

House Democrats voted on their new leaders on Wednesday.
House Democratic leader, whip, and caucus chair respectively will revamp the face of a body that has historically been controlled by old white men. And it will mark the first time ever for either party in either chamber of Congress to have no white men in any of the top leadership positions.
Pelosi is an old, white man? Who knew?
Paul Keating could be said to be quick off the mark but he was still a cock head.
And like Sancho, very left wing.
And bigotted.
And nobody is quick off the mark on these blogs.
The reality is you have plenty of time to think up a come back before you press “post comment”
It’s
Labor senator Pat Dodson said there would be “serious implications” for reconciliation efforts and Australia’s reputation on the international stage if the Voice referendum fails
Code for: “Gimme more money and make me a boss or I’ll diss you overseas!”
Has ol’ Pat been to Europe? Or the USA? Or anywhere in Asia? Oz never makes the news over there unless a) you go looking for it, or b) it’s a “kangaroo bites man” story equivalent.
Furniture sales must be slow again today. The Road Rager doesn’t understand and never will, that a lot of people didn’t think they had a choice. Individual circumstances take precedence over principle more often than not. Him being the fountain of all knowledge should know this after all its the first thing you learn driving a truck. They just couldn’t sell the Hartley and send the mail order bride out to work while they gave orders from the cheap seats or couch. The only denialist here is himself. Grow up. Have you learnt how to crap through the hole in the floor at 100kph (speed limited) to compete with the sub-continentals. You’ve mastered crapping through your mouth so it shouldn’t be a stretch.
Dover – The casualty rates are fairly close to 1:1. Wagner reportedly is now recruiting from prisons in Central African Republic, which shows how desperate the search for warm bodies is.
A worthy opponent then, struth.
Heaps better than someone like the stockbroker rageaholic, who in all honesty brings out my lazy worst because his princess complex makes it too easy.
You forgot tick tick tick in your days sermon from the cenotaph.
The fix is well and truly in on the in-voice.

The Albanese government has taken the next step towards the Voice referendum and introduced legislation to the lower house to modernise laws governing how the referendum will be conducted.
The Referendum (Machinery Provisions) Amendment Bill 2022 will:
Ban foreign donations;
Establish a financial disclosure framework for referendums consistent with the rules that apply to federal elections;
Require campaign donations and expenditure above the disclosure threshold to be reported to the Australian Electoral Commission;
Temporarily lift a funding restriction in the Act to enable funding of educational initiatives to counter misinformation
and
Remove the requirement for a pamphlet detailing the Yes and No case to be posted to each household
Introducing the bill earlier today, Assistant Minister to the Prime Minister Patrick Gorman reiterated the government’s decision not to publicly fund a yes and no campaign. Instead, the government will provide public funding only for a civics education campaign.
“This information will provide voters with a good understanding of Australia’s constitution, the referendum process and factual information about the referendum proposal,” Gorman said.
He said the pamphlet requirement was first introduced in 1912 and was an outdated mechanism for informing voters in a digital age.
“As the next referendum will be the first in the digital age, there was no need for taxpayers to pay for a pamphlet to be sent to households,” he said.
“Modern technology allows parliamentarians to express their views to voters directly and regularly through a wide range of sources, such as television, email, and social media that did not exist when the pamphlet was introduced in 1912.”
The bill will be referred to the Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters, which will report in early 2023.
So no public spending, but do you suppose the never ending ‘we were flora and fauna” lie will be fact checked at any stage??
Grey Ranga says absolutely nothing except Meow again.

Mater, the more you answer Struth the more strident he becomes. I think he is vexatious and is best ignored for he wants to grind you down into ‘excuses’ and abase you. I intend to ignore him from now on and let the uptickers do their worst agreeing with his personal abuse of me.
Covid was a difficult time for everyone. People made their own decisions, as they should, in the light of their own situations. Coping with one’s own concerns and familial pressures and putting up with abuse on blogs for taking the vaxx or from Karens elsewhere for breaking lockdowns, welcoming the unvaxxed or ignoring mask mandates became par for the course for many conservatives.
BoN – view over here is that the Perf Test and the WACA we were set up to fail. 1st Test (usually Brisvegas), Wednesday start, 2nd string opposition. Just over 10k yesterday and will now get to Saturday.
