Without commenting on the mad ranga, analysis of WWI and II air kills show up a vast exaggeration in claims.
For example, in northern Australia:
The 49th Fighter Group had come to Darwin at a time when Australian forces were stretched to the limit fighting overseas and played a critical role in blunting the Japanese raids. The Group intercepted 17 raids and claimed 73 enemy aircraft – five of these over Horn Island on 14 March.
However, in examining a range of documentation from both sides of the war, the suggested figure is 11 fighters, one of which ditched with the pilot lost with two others missing; ten bombers and a reconnaissance aircraft – a total of 22 aircraft and their crews.

How would Harry know how many people he killed in Afghanistan?
The DoD files that wikileaks released demonstrated a lot a of coalition engagements they had zero idea or when they did they understated the numbers, especially of those they classified as non-combatants.
If Harry said 25, it could be 5, it could be 50.
Ah, our chance to see what grievous sin for which Australia’s elite will be horsewhipping us over the next 12 months – to convince us we have no moral claim to participate in our democracy.
They announce a name, we check what they were a victim of, et voila!
The Daily Mail should rename itself The Daily Harry for the next few weeks. The number of articles about him are getting similar to something actually significant like 9/11 or death of the queen.
However the list of “suspects” for doing the deed in the field behind the pub was apparently quite long, or so I was told ! Some nice fillys. They might be giving a subtle clue by the fact one article is totally devoted to one particular “suspect”.
It is very apparent being the “spare” did have some significant benefits in relation to older women being interested in him. Life has clearly been very unfair to Harry and no wonder he probably has a full time therapist.

Despite that there’s about to be a cacophony of shrieking because sea ice at both poles is running well below normal.

I think it’s because of the Tongan volcano and the La Nina shifting heat from the tropic/temperate latitudes towards the poles. With both the overall effect is global cooling, as we saw with the Pinatubo eruption, but sea ice will be reduced and the bedwetters will be crying doom, doom.

Your average “15 minutes of fame” type (think Schapelle Corby) often has very little knowledge or leverage to control the narrative.
Ginge and Whinge had both the knowledge of the media/publishing industries and the market power to control the publication 100%. Photos, text, cover design, even the type-face and font size if they liked.
Of course, the publisher might not be willing to pay top dollar if the end product is possibly going to be bland tripe without any salacious hooks.
But that doesn’t matter to Ginge and Whinge, because this is just about telling their story, right.
Making money isn’t the objective.

Prince Harry speaks during his service 2008.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1hDUpLS71o&t=83s
Let me see, we have…
Two proud men, an Indian born pediatrician, an advocate for end of life care who also ticks the female & ethnic boxes, a female body image advocate, an African community worker from Tassie, a maggot farmer from the ACT (yes, maggot farmer…you know ehere this leads) and Craig Foster AM.
Just checked out Berns link to Australian of year. Only one state awardee I have heard of was Craig Foster.
The Qld winner is an Aboriginal musician 99.9% have no knowledge of but sure to be a hit with the arts crowd.
The ACT awardee is the standout for her work with maggots !
No idea who will win from that lot.
A lot of diversity picks in the main category, senior and young. White males clearly a minority in our population.
Surprised no Covid “heroes”.
That video I just posted features on the Royal family’s media page.
So they still aren’t shy about, or weren’t shy about, highlighting his service.
His army career must have been a major influence on Harry, as it would have been for anyone else, Royal or not.
Craig Foster is an honorary choco. He’s a white boy from Lithgow but dresses and talks like an interior designer from Verona.

As for scores, the Americans reckon the best place to keep beer cold is next to a fighter pilot’s heart.
Erich”Bubi” Hartmann didn’t begin his combat career until October 1942.
Read Yeager, Goodson (Tumult in the Clouds) et al. They were very keen to shoot down enemy aircraft and whether the pilot survived is irrelevant to them.
Harry’s biggest mistake in publishing his Tali-tally isn’t the loss of cred with his former colleagues.
It is a yuuuuge PR mistake. His core audience is Californian peaceniks and race-baiters. Admitting to killing 25 poor brown people just will not do.
And, just imagine if it should come out that he “knocked one of them off a small hill”.
Didn’t Unaipon invent and patent the shears that are used in woolsheds across the country now?

Re the Oz of the Year Awards I’ll put a dollar on the insect and maggot farmer Olympia Yarger
Insect farming pioneer and founder, Goterra
ACT STATE RECIPIENT AUSTRALIAN OF THE YEAR 2023
Olympia Yarger is a climate action warrior, a maggot farmer and founder of the Insect Protein Association of Australia. She even had a fly named after her by the CSIRO (Hermetia Olympea, a soldier fly species from the Daintree rainforest).
The founder of agritech start-up Goterra, Olympia is an insect farming pioneer and has developed an innovative waste management system that uses maggots to process food waste and reduce greenhouse gases.
Her ‘Maggot Robot’ system houses larvae of the black soldier fly inside portable units. Food waste is fed to the maggots and, similar to a worm farm, the larvae’s excretions become fertiliser. The maggots themselves become protein-rich feed for livestock and aquaculture.
It’s already being used by Woolworths and in Sydney’s Barangaroo precinct. So far, Olympia’s system has processed more than 35,000 tonnes of waste and saved more than 66,000 tonnes of carbon emissions.

I did some quick research on Painted Dog. 2 of the execs have extensive Gov/Academic background and the third has worked for an obscure marketing office in Perth that doesn’t appear in any google searches except in the right column showing it’s address and searches showing Nike products or online snake sales. One of the exec has had extensive experience with “juvenile offenders”. The other in academia has had a fair bit to do with WA health. Name aside, I’d say they list heavily left and there’s no way to get the report on their website. Unusual as most pollsters publish the report or you can buy it for a small fee.
Considering the biggest state for sales of do not welcome me to my country has been WA the findings look like they polled in whatever goes for a trendy area of inner Perth. I reckon its is pure manure and a sign of the type of push polling and shouty propaganda we are about to be subjected to, like gay unions.
That said, I’m curious to know who commissioned the survey.
mmmmm, you have a referendum on ‘the voice’ (TM) coming up, the Indig is a shoe in.

“I seem to recall this being discussed on an earlier iteration of this blog. Apparently the timelines of the affair and the pregnancy don’t coincide.”
Correct, Harry was born in 1984 and Diana and Hewett’s affair didn’t begin until 1986. Regardless, Harry looks a lot like the late Prince Phillip.
Pretty sure he’d have a good idea. Every engagement was recorded and I’m pretty sure a “kill” was when limb separation was observed, which was pursued so as to avoid the possibility of an enemy playing dead.
From what I can gather Harry has just stated the facts, can’t see how that’s bragging.
Including these details, which are verifiable and for which he would be eviscerated if a load of porkies, adds a veneer of truth to what could very well be a book filled with utter shyte.
Even though Thiel (the founders fund) & Musk would gladly take Microsoft money for ChatGPT, others on the cap table would have issues with it.
Microsoft typically folds purchases into their own ecosystem, to the preclusion of all others.
Meaning M12 (Microsoft’s VC ecosystem) would benefit.
Meaning the other VC’s who currently own ChatGPT wouldn’t.
It doesn’t get the coverage it deserves but after his Microsoft stock & property, Gates third largest investment is in M12 & that ecosystem.
Cass, so you think Prince Phillip is his dad?
Bush, I didn’t say he was bragging.
I said he would not know.

Confirmed kills for pilots refers to aircraft not people .. duuuuuh!
I have my copy of Chris Masters’ book “No Front Line” in the van.
Might re-read the bits where BRS describes who and how he killed.
While on my knees, of course.
Harry doesn’t look like Prince Philip at all.
There’s a tradition with Kings and Heirs, they sire the firstborn, then retire to root the field.
Harry isn’t going bald, so he can’t be Chuck’s son, particularly since baldness runs in Diana Spencer’s family.
Realise that, Bern.
It was a reference to someone else’s comment upthread, can’t remember who.
Harry seems to see all this as his moment to set himself up for life.
Not sure if he’s made enough to live the way he wants to for another 35+ years.
That’s a long time to pay for bodyguards, private schools, chalets, expensive holidays, private planes … a divorce … and sundry other extravagances.

Hhhhhhm. My posts seem to be being sent to the naughty corner.
Today I learned that in Canada during 2021, there were 10,064 deaths classified as euthanasia.

AOTY has been a joke for a long time. I was leaning towards Professor Samar Aoun until I did some research on her views on euthanasia. Nice how they airbrushed that out of her blurb, nice words about her care for the dying, MND and community care but any references toned down to “person centre approach to end of life.”
IMO too much tokenism, UN hobby horses and distinct lack of actual substance in this years lot. Another meh.

Re yellowing of leaves. A general indication that not enough nitrogen. The soil gets leached out of major elements needed for photosynthesis. Lack of sunshine can also contribute to yellowing as can lack of water but the latter doesn’t seem to fit unless you are talking about plants in undercover areas. Dose with nitrogen rich liquid fertilizer.

He didn’t kill 25 Taliban.
He captured them, held them for hours, whinging and moaning about the problems in his life.
Then the Taliban shot themselves.

Bit dark today calli?
Uncharitable perhaps (De mortuis nil nisi bonum and all that) but my recollection of Diana is as being a very smooth operator.
From in front, where all the MSM and doting public sat, she looked the very soul of a blameless woman cruelly spurned by a faithless husband and his vindictive family, but she dedicating her life to selflessly alleviating the suffering of others.
But if you stepped back and managed to look at the show not flat on, but slightly from the side, you could see the separate elements and the machinery that kept it all moving.
All the doe-eyes brimming with compassionate tears from beside children’s ward hospital beds, the briefing of paparazzi and then pained scurrying away from their camera flashes, a steady leaking of stories of her own suffering at the hands of the Royals, and the crowning of herself as the people’s Queen of Hearts.
Update the whole 1990’s show to make it a woke 2020’s drama and you can see the Dr Freudian still has a home in our decade – Harry has married his mother.

The AOTY is so debased, such a grotesque parody, that the canbra maggot ‘farmer’ is the way to go.
Now, isn’t that interesting? All those Fox News hosts who railed at the dissidents for not voting for McCarthy as Speaker are now saying that it was the right thing to do to ensure he will act in their voters’ interests. What a difference a day makes, and a bunch of unsuccessful votes.
The criticism now is why didn’t they do it before and behind the scenes. My guess is that they did and were told to take a hike. It was a very effective way to bring the arrogant Republican establishment jerks into line.

Nation In Shock As Politicians Show Up To Work 4 Days In A Row
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The nation is in shock today following reports of representatives in Congress showing up to work for the 4th day in a row. Sources in Washington say this may be a new record, as most members of the House are used to showing up maybe once or twice per month while spending most of their time drinking cocktails with lobbyists and talking to CNN. Medical personnel has been dispatched to the Capitol Building to tend to any elderly reps in attendance, who aren’t used to working this hard, while experts warn many of them may not last through today’s grueling 5-hour workday.
Any time you leave a hospital upright counts as a success.

Yes and had forgotten the related line Frank says, which is about Donnie wearing a “man suit” not a meatsuit. The meat part was your own innovation which, if I’m being kind, could be charitably explained as being an inclusive gender non-specific allowance for modern ears.
Even if you had remembered the quote correctly, doesn’t the “suit” aspect of it suggest a contrivance for appearances rather than a quality of some lived firm foundation?
Possibly it was just the first relevant movie quote that occurred and no fussing over nuance was done.

I presume this is due to the deluges and the cold.
Our West Australian poplars on the western side of our garden grounds at the farm are shedding their leaves which have turned yellow. Normally, this degree of shedding only occurs in Autumn. It is a real nuisance as these trees are some 15m tall and the lawns are covered on leaves. Raking them up & disposing of them is a big job. Some of the grapevines are also turning yellow.

What a clown car of idiots the Republicans are.
Interesting thing if the world splits into a US-led bloc and a rival Eurasian bloc. Australia and Canada will need to be to the US what Russia is going to be to China.
The US is going to hoover up as much of the EU’s industrial base as possible and then it’ll be relegated to buffer zone duties. Perhaps the UK will be maintained as strategic territory, aka Airstrip One.

Rotten’s been quiet today.
It’s ground hog day for McCarthy. He just doesn’t have the numbers…again. He has to give up. Gaetz is highlighting this by showing he doesn’t even need to vote against McCarthy for him to fail to cross the line.

The yookay could do ok if it didn’t have so many rats in the ranks aka remainers. Not unlike ourselves- we could do so so well just by following Latho’s prescription from 5 years ago-
1. Reduce our immigration intake from 200,000 pa to the 20th century average of 70,000, to take the pressure off housing prices, jobs, wages and city congestion.
2. Big personal income tax cuts, reducing the top marginal rate from 49% to 35%, with other rates coming down to 25 and 15%. This would reboot the economy by giving businesses and workers extra incentive. They should work for themselves, not the taxman!
3. End Australia’s energy crisis and reduce prices by lifting all restrictions on energy production. We should be a global energy superpower, with abundant fossil, renewable and nuclear power.
4. Fight back against political correctness by abolishing Leftist sinkholes like the ABC, SBS and Human Rights Commission, and cleaning cultural Marxism out of our universities and schools.
5. Win the war on terror by introducing a Trump-style travel ban and locking up mentally-ill radicals who threaten public safety.
If the average smoker burns through say six cigs a day going through 5.2 billion cigs a year. It means there are around 780 million smokers in the world.
Barron’s.
Just back from another day at the Summernats and catching up with current affairs here- saw Joanna’s excellent comment early on the thread. Every word true of course – the event must be one of the biggest in the region. So popular today no tickets available – capacity reached on pre-sold tickets.
Mullets and Tatts aplenty – but a polite, respectful crowd and some of the engineering on display is world class.
Funny thing – if I collected antique wagons with hand painted designs, ABC people would gush – “ Such authentic naive art, so meaningful”
Show them a totally handcrafted Valient and they would sneer and move away – yet both are authentic artistic statements by working people. I suspect the ABC team has almost nothing to do with working people and hasn’t for quite a while.
Encourage him, Eddles. Yeah, wake him up.
They are going to adjourn for the weekend with McCarthy a shag on a rock, LOL.
Just put the word out to the local boys that I’m looking for a Junkyard Suzy GN125! 🙂
I thought McCarthy would fall over the line and still think it likely he will…but the likelihood is shrinking. All of the no votes who flipped will be feeling the full wrath of the base. The longer that goes on whilst enough no votes hold out, the more likely those flipped no votes flip back.
Also, those who held their nose and voted for McCarthy get more time to reconsider their vote.
I suspect all of the threats that McCarthy could have levelled against the holdouts have been issued and haven’t worked. If so, it’s a much steeper climb for him from here.

McCarthy just lost his fourteenth vote for Speaker, he got exactly 50% of the needed votes. Matt Gaetz voted “present” just to screw with his head.
What a clown car of idiots the Republicans are.
m0nty=fa cracks a pseudo sad.
Sad. Low energy.
What are the dividend payments on big tobacco stocks like, JC?
Wholeheartedly agree with m0nts!
Australian governments have kept much of their COVID research and modelling secret. Why?
Mong Modelling!
You don’t want Average Joe realising just how dumb the entire bureaucratic apparatus is, and that commensurate with their dumbness, they done really f’cked up!
Democrats vote to adjourn to extend McCarthy’s pain, LMAO!
Fatboy, they’re in the minority. The Demonrats don’t decide this stuff anymore. Shut up.
Gaetz and Boebert both voted “present” on the 14th vote, otherwise their votes would have been the ones that sent McCarthy into the Speaker’s chair.
The Sunday political talk shows might be interesting for once.
then got dragged away before he started a fist sight. Things going well, then
There needs to be way more fist fighting in politics. Average Joe’s could really get behind their respective reps beating the shit out of each other.
Why aren’t there fist fights? Uniparty.
But they are dead keen on a major reform of allowing mail-in votes for choosing the speaker.
Here’s an interesting bit of revisionist history coming from a piece by Holman Jenkins in the WSJ. The piece is about the war, but it touched on this.
The western front won the war and not the east? Interesting.
In other words, it’s production might that wins.
seriously universal suffrage must go
Adjournment vote 217-217. Things going exceedingly well.
We don’t have to do jack.
American lawmakers won’t approve us to get “competitive” weapons platforms.
America is not the America we have in our minds and they (their awful government) can get screwed.
We can even ally with India if we wanted or go it alone.
How are we going to fend off China if it takes 20, 30 years to get weapons platforms delivered if at all?
Why aren’t there fist fights? Uniparty.
yep remember when pissie crime was defending Tony Burka and Burka’s junkets?
Republicans Scream At Matt Gaetz As He Launches Fresh House Floor Attack On McCarthy
I built a HAL 9000 using parts from an Electrolux upright vacuum, a Victa 2-stroke mower and a pop-up sprinkler.
Toxic trash
Gaetz is clever.
He is the most prominent Republican now for 2024.
Dot,
I don’t think there’s any hope for Russia by kneepadding to the yellow man. China is their future enemy and not a friend. Ironically, the only close ally I see for Russia in the medium to long term is the US and maybe Europe.
The US and Russia will eventually team up for space because whomever holds the higher ground wins. China will just keep taking from Russia at a massive discount. They will realize this soon enough. Putin has to go too.
Bullshit sanchez . You recently said you used an old car tire as parts.
Pop up sprinkler.
I think we have phrasing issues, Dave.
Michael Smith News has the front pages of 4 UK papers regarding Harry.
I think he is going to need a team of therapists now.
Good luck if he returns to the UK as I think his reputation has gone down the toilet.
But hey the money is good for dishing dirt on your own family.
