Emotional Nancy Pelosi reveals husband Paul is not ‘back to normal’ after hammer attack
There was no update on the Emotional State of the Hammer
He’s quite an interesting guy. Literally everything he owns is for sale at the right price. He sold a Nissan GTR back to the dealer after 6 months at a $10k profit because the dealer had someone else lined up. Could follow you into a revolving door and come out ahead. Happy to place big bets. The complete opposite of me.
There’s a fair bit of that going on. It never really goes out of style.
Who the f..k ticks broelman and rowe’s scribbles?
Outstanding post, Cassie at 10.44am.
Male homosexuals dominate the arts, especially television, and they spend much of their creative energy trying to sell their perversions to normal people through the stereotypes they use.
He is a homosexual who created the television series Sex and the City to showcase how HE thinks women are and how women should behave, which is vain, promiscuous, avaricious, dumb, conniving, delicate, in other words, as a vehicle to showcase all the usual homosexual stereotypes about women.
They’re the truths about pooftas.
Youngish mum in a cotton dress and Birkenstocks with several plastic bags full of plastic bags was most distressed when Woollies staff told her they weren’t taking them anymore.
Since none of the staff knew why and she was so perplexed I gently told her Redcycle had gone bust.
“But what do I do with these?”
“Throw ’em in the bin, luv” was the helpful, if rather obvious, advice of the crusty nylon clad Woollies lady.
“But…the dolphins!” her eyes seemed to cry out.
And she walked away, her little ones still clinging to her dress, as if in mortal fear of the strange, uncaring world about them.
“Why? She should be ignored. Does anyone take her seriously?”
Alternatively, it might be quite a good idea to stick a microphone in her face at every opportunity and disseminate her thoughts as widely as possible. That lack of a high school education combined with youthful arrogance is sure to hit home.
The people that take her seriously are the types that think she would resonate with the youth. Monty in other words.
BoN. You are outdone.
During my peddle this morning I encountered a woman feeding Maggies on the footpath.
I was fascinated. There were so many of them. I counted 32. I had no idea that there were so many in the area.
The birdie intelligence network is obviously well established.
Their behaviour was rather poor however.
Perhaps you could offer a training program.
“Having already legalised cannabis, Canada’s PM Justin Trudeau will now legalise heroin and crack cocaine, while lecturing citizens to have only two drinks a week as ‘no amount of alcohol is safe’. Nor, perhaps, are two syringes of heroin.“
Don’t buy anything Siemens makes.
Those German shit bags are the Pfizer of industrial control and automation.

What a prick, that’s an outright lie.
Magpies are quite clever. There are few on the oval opposite and the park I trundle through. One young one was pretending to be injured to get a feed. Mum wasn’t buying it.
the delusion of the modern woman, to be an “equal” she needed to go out an make $100m or even the first million like elon, not just claim the crown by entitlement. knock yourself out woman.

Those who hounded the Cardinal to his death show no sign of relenting,
Gimme a break.
Pell wasn’t “hounded to his death”.
Richard Cranium isn’t big on reading comprehension. Let me put that into words that even he might, just might, understand.
“Those who hounded the Cardinal at every opportunity until the time that he died show no sign of relenting.”
There was a farmer who had a brown cow and a white cow and he wanted to get them bred, so borrowed his neighbour’s bull and turned it loose in the pasture. He told his son to watch and come in and tell him when the bull was finished. “Yeah daddy, yeah daddy” said the little boy.
After a while the boy came into the living room where his father was talking with some friends. “Say, Pop” said the boy. “Yes” replied his father. “The bull just farked the brown cow”.
There was a sudden lull in the conversation. The father said “Excuse me?” and took his son outside.
“Son, you mustn’t use language like that in front of company. You should say ‘the bull SURPRISED the brown cow’. Now go and watch and tell me when the bull ‘SURPRISES’ the white cow”.
The father went back inside the house. After a while the boy came in and said “Hey, Daddy”. “Yes, son. Did the bull surprise the white cow?”
“He sure did, Pop! He farked the brown cow again!”………………………….
I love criticism just so long as it’s unqualified praise.

Throughout history smuggling has been the antidote to Big Government
Please, they are merely “poor honest men” struggling to fulfil consumer demand.
See Kipling:
Your jar of Virginny
Will cost you a guinea,
Which you reckon too much by five shillings or ten;
But light your churchwarden
And judge it according,
When I’ve told you the troubles of poor honest men.
From the Capes of the Delaware,
As you are well aware,
We sail which tobacco for England-but then,
Our own British cruisers,
They watch us come through, sirs,
And they press half a score of us poor honest men!
Or if by quick sailing
(Thick weather prevailing)
We leave them behind (as we do now and then)
We are sure of a gun from
Each frigate we run from,
Which is often destruction to poor honest men!
Broadsides the Atlantic
We tumble short-handed,
With shot-holes to plug and new canvas to bend;
And off the Azores,
Dutch, Dons and Monsieurs
Are waiting to terrify poor honest men.
Napoleon’s embargo
Is laid on all cargo
Which comfort or aid to King George may intend;
And since roll, twist and leaf,
Of all comforts is chief,
They try for to steal it from poor honest men!
With no heart for fight,
We take refuge in flight,
But fire as we run, our retreat to defend;
Until our stern-chasers
Cut up her fore-braces,
And she flies off the wind from us poor honest men!
‘Twix’ the Forties and Fifties,
South-eastward the drift is,
And so, when we think we are making Land’s End
Alas, it is Ushant
With half the King’s Navy
Blockading French ports against poor honest men!
But they may not quit station
(Which is our salvation)
So swiftly we stand to the Nor’ard again;
And finding the tail of
A homeward-bound convoy,
We slip past the Scillies like poor honest men.
‘Twix’ the Lizard and Dover,
We hand our stuff over,
Though I may not inform how we do it, nor when.
But a light on each quarter,
Low down on the water,
Is well understanded by poor honest men.
Even then we have dangers,
From meddlesome strangers,
Who spy on our business and are not content
To take a smooth answer,
Except with a handspike…
And they say they are murdered by poor honest men!
To be drowned or be shot
Is our natural lot,
Why should we, moreover, be hanged in the end,
After all our great pains
For to dangle in chains
As though we were smugglers, not poor honest men?
Rates of DV in different types of relationships:
The [US] Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s 2010 National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey reports on the lifetime prevalence of rape, physical violence or stalking by an intimate partner, focusing for the first time on victimization by sexual orientation. It finds a victimization prevalence of 43.8 percent for lesbians, making it the second most affected group after bisexual women (61.1 percent), ahead of bisexual men (37.3 percent), heterosexual women (35 percent), heterosexual men (29 percent) and homosexual men (26 percent) …

Is there a more useless, less customer friendly firm than Telstra? Sure, Jetstar could be, but at least you know what you’re getting or can anticipate it with a no frills airline. Telstra is just useless. They moved their customer service operations out of the Philippines, which turned out to be a third world disaster, and returned the call centre back to Australia. Now they have zero customer service as they don’t want to pay the huge bucks. That limey CEO was a total disaster, but he was great at one thing only, which was keeping his job.
Never watched Sex in the City, not even once.
Vodafone and Qantas are strong competitors.
Ring telstra and they want you to ring them via their app, which every time I’ve tried to set it up gets to a step and fails.
So I just wait on the line for 45 minutes instead to.
Then they charged me $10 for international roaming and all I got was ‘connected without internet’. I’m going to chase them for a refund.
Damn, you’re right. Apologies. 5 outta 6.
Pooves dominate the Arts- and by that I mean the dominant Cathedral Arts, not the arts of the productive economy- because the positions are appointments.
oh no!

They hit me for ~1000 bucks for overseas data use when it’s supposed to be 10 bucks a day for 20 days. That’s just one account.
When I called I asked to speak rather than use the app and the call died immediately with the request.
I hate them.
Good news!

Ok so no coffee shirts then. Interestingly the first one is from a RMIT Vietnam associate professor. RMIT does get around these days.

Nothing against Filipinos.
What does the young mum put her non recyclable rubbish in?

I think they limit you to some miserly data limit for $10 a day.
Why I inconvenience myself and get a local sim and also switch to WiFi whenever I can.
Amazing that having a coffee takes so much salty tears from the heart of Gaia… yet banana petiole alt couture never needs to be grown, harvested, extracted, processed, spun, woven, sewn, transported, stored, retailed, laundered… or disposed of.
Making divorce difficult also serves to make people that would enter into marriage frivolously or duplicitously think twice. As would renewing social stigma involved in divorce, where infidelity, or abuse, or abandonment was involved.
Having an ongoing fight with Telstra over their useless Bigpond service. It collapses when the server’s emails reach 10gb.
Their complaint web form has just fallen over so that’s a nice way of not receiving complaints.
Daily Mail
There were so many of them. I counted 32. I had no idea that there were so many in the area.
Was this in Canberra?
I’ve never seen so many mendicant magpies as in the national capital, especially near the old Burley Griffin shopping centre. And a rum-looking lot they were were too — derros with feathers
Predictable, I suppose, that you’d take up residence in a city where tax dollars go to die and you’re soon scoffing down the wealth and provisions of others.
Overseas data is one of the last gouging opportunities left in mobile telephony. Some homework required. Telstra is rarely the answer.
The compostable ones…at a premium price.
I was on the ANZ wait list for about 40 minutes recently. The good thing is that the creepy CEO’s email address is on the web because the bald headed twerp once said he wanted to be close to customers and they could contact him directly about problems. Okay! I emailed him and told him he was a bald headed imbecile for putting so much ANZ money into renewballs. He actually emailed back aggressively and had a decent stoush with the idiot. I accused him of being the wokiest CEO in Australia and said he ought to be deported back to NZ.
I emailed him about the recent “death-hold,” suggesting the quality of service gets worse as he gets even balder. No response.
His name is Shayne Elliott. Who would call their son Shayne instead of Shane, FFS.
Renewing social stigma.
Now there’s a concept in the same basket as ‘restoring personal responsibility’.
Big mistake. Get a man for that.
They lied all the time to get you off the phone. I had one occasion where I was told i was getting an extra credit for an error. It didn’t happen and they had no record of the call and feedback.
They were very nice over the phone, totally incompetent and just lied.
Two & a half years ago I had the experience of grown men begging to be allowed to work for tucker.
They had somewhere to bunk down, they had some savings & did not need cash.
Skilled, fast & efficient carpenters. Measure twice, cut once (with machinist-sharp accuracy) bang nail perfectly. All in the time it takes to type that sentence.
We’d gone from full employment to doorknocking & begging, like swagmen, in under three weeks.
I already hated Slomo by that stage, so this didn’t make me hate him any extra.
I’m wondering if it’s a cultural thing?
My wife had an experience recently that went for days…I found her the phone number of someone in the local company. They returned her call the next day, problem resolved, most apologetic, yada yada yada.
Try getting a steak, egg and chips for breakfast.
Piece of piss.
Try getting it cooked in dripping.
No chance.
For some reason, Lezzos hate the smell of dripping.
Flamers probably do too, though I avoid food they’ve prepared.
eddles
How the hell would you know if a flamer or rug muncher was preparing the dish?
Telstra is never the answer.
If you absolutely need your device, buy a local sim. But often the lowest cost option in UK/Europe or the US is to buy a cheap PAYG handset package. Depending on your usage, carrier’s roaming arrangements, and stay, the total cost works out at a few dollars per day – plus no ‘surprises’ when you get home.
The besieged residents of Alice Springs saw something this week they had rarely seen in recent years: police in control of the town. And they immediately smelled a rat.
Highway patrol cars pulled over vehicles, mounted police were brought in from Darwin and caged police trucks cruised the main strip in force.
“Someone’s here in town; they’ve cleaned the joint up,” one local remarked, as the cavalcade drove past.
He was right: the Northern Territory police commissioner and police minister had flown in.
The residents of this blighted town have good reason to be cynical.
Police launched a similar blitz only last month, but very soon life had returned to what now passes for normal in Alice Springs.
Daylight home invasions, car theft, vandalism and the constant threat of physical violence have made the CBD a no-go zone, plagued by out-of-control youths, often drunk.
The figures tell the story: a 25-50 per cent surge in assaults, domestic violence, home invasions and commercial break-ins in the past year alone. At least 300 people arrested in the town of 25,000 in the past seven weeks. Many of the perpetrators are Indigenous; so are many of the victims.
Todd Mall, once a thriving hub of Indigenous art galleries, restaurants, pubs and cafes is now a collection of dozens of boarded-up and shuttered shops.
Before Covid the town was heaving with backpackers; some businesses would have five to 10 backpackers a day looking for a job. Now, it is rare to see a single tourist.
Homes are being raided by youths armed with edged weapons including machetes, hunting knives, axes, tomahawks and sharp “number seven” boomerangs.
Locals – Indigenous and non-Indigenous alike – point to young men and women who have come to the town from “out bush”, fuelled by alcohol, as the cause of much of the recent trouble.
At 2pm, a steady stream of customers start entering the dozen or so bottle shops scattered around town. Sitting on stools at the entrance of one of the more popular stores in the heart of the town are two police officers, one sipping from a can of Coca-Cola.
Entering the store, one officer inconspicuously turns on his bodyworn video camera before asking The Weekend Australian: “Are you buying any alcohol for anyone?” Where will you be drinking? Who are you with? Where are you staying?” before we’re granted permission to proceed further into the store.
Takeaway liquor venues made a show of trying to limit sales on Thursday, banning the sale of bottles one litre or larger.
That simply prompted locals to buy two 700ml bottles instead of the single litre they had initially planned.
When The Weekend Australian visited a bakery on the town’s outskirts, almost every customer who entered had been affected in some way by the violence.
Owner Darren Clark has had his home, car and business broken into or damaged 36 times in the past 18 months. “We’re scared of the violence, we are scared to go to sleep overnight, to lay in our beds, we’re scared to go out to the CBD, to be in our cars,” he said.
“It’s only a matter of time before we have tragedies here and the repercussions of that, who knows what happens.”
Mr Clark said community issues were being brought into the town, with street fights occurring to settle disagreements from different regions.
“This is not a racial problem in this town, this is a behavioural problem,” he said. “It’s just a few that are making this bad, people coming in from the communities, they’re not coming in for the right reasons. They’re coming in to drink and drink excessively.”
Mr Clark said the violence had escalated since the Stronger Futures laws lapsed, making alcohol legal in many Aboriginal town camps for the first time in 15 years. “At the moment, I’ve never seen anything like it – it’s bad.”

Driller, forgive me, but I’m calling bullshit on that. It just looks like a toppering and a dishonest one at that. No one is going to work for food when they have money in the bank and are able to draw on welfare as they all could. You really have a massive personality flaw.

On the subject of no fault divorce I read an idea that pre-nups should be mandatory.
Done about 25 years ago.
First time a PreNup couple actually ended up in the Family Court, ruling was that PreNups don’t matter.
Lawyers made some money out of writing them up, until then.
If the Northern Territory coppers and Government don’t get their act together, we can expect this sort of Bush Justice coming our way.
I can’t see anything wrong with it. Home made is often better than shop bought.
First time a PreNup couple actually ended up in the Family Court, ruling was that PreNups don’t matter.
It’s Australia, agreements don’t matter, the outcome is determined by the “vibe” at whatever time the matter reaches court.
Will Zelensky Resign?
From Armstrong Economics –
“As for Ukraine itself, we are approaching a very critical turning point on April 6th, 2023. It is entirely possible that Zelensky might flee if the discontent gets the foothold it is seeking for an impeachment. There is rising discontent that Zelensky has betrayed Ukraine and some are hinting that perhaps it is payback for the Neonazi’s persecution of the Jews and how he married a Christian and baptized his children, all to blend in to hide his Jewish heritage.”

I’m remembering a case here, in the Wild West, where the wife was arguing that she’d felt pressured into signing the pre – nup, that the main reason she had signed was that she wanted so desperately to be married…
That literally makes no sense, yet you have the hide to lecture others about spelling and grammar.
Family Court Judges have a lot of power and the Murdoch Press only reports from there if the Case involves 2 mad people and a huge amount of property.
It only took one Judge to kill the legal validity of PreNups stone dead.
There are likely still a few people with brains out there who adhere to the PreNup without asking for a Ruling, otherwise the Prenup is worth Jack.
My neighbour. She’s single. She’s shapely. She’s beautiful and she lives right across the street.
I can see her place from my kitchen window. I watched as she got home from work this evening. I was surprised when she walked across the street, up my driveway and knocked on the door. I opened the door, she looked at me and said “I just got home, and I have this strong urge to have a good time, dance, get drunk, and have sex tonight. Are you doing anything?” I quickly replied “Nope, I’m free!” “Great” she said. “Can you watch my dog?”………………………..

We didn’t see that as, by the time Covid & the lockdowns really hit, our local builder had completed our addition to the farmhouse. Even so, timber was already scarce & product prices skyrocketing. We saw our builder some 12 months later & he said he had lost $40,000 on a recently completed job through prices overwhelming his original quotation – and that was a LOT of money for him.
There’s no such thing as failure – just waiting for success.

Doofus.
The legal basis for pre-nuptial agreements is the Family Law Act 1975, Sect 90Bff.
Provided they meet certain requirements, they are enforceable.
One of those requirements is receiving proper legal advice before signing.

I was on the ANZ wait list for about 40 minutes recently.
My hatred of Telcos is only surpassed by my hatred of banks. Late last year my dear, but easygoing (unlike me) husband was duped by a clever hacker into coming within minutes of allowing the installation of a device on our computer. Although it was apparent that the hacker had not completed his mission ( I came in from the paddocks & disconnected the call), we tried to contact ANZ head office immediately to safeguard our accounts. It was some 45 hair raising minutes before we could get through. The senior officer we spoke to seemed competent & completed necessary transactions & assured us our accounts were not compromised. However, she added that she would contact us the following day to confirm. She did not, of course. Nor could we reach her in the following 24 hours. Within the same period, of course, we had our computers professionally “cleaned” & new safety devices installed. But there was absolutely no follow up from the ANZ.

Anthony Albanese has met with Microsoft founder Bill Gates at Kirribilli House to discuss climate change, energy and health issues.
And Bill Gates has told Elbow that he (Elbow) has health issues. So far, no comment from our Correspondent outside Kirribilli House…………………………….There is an Ambulance on standby outside.
WEF do house calls now?
Billy clearly the star talent in Klaus’ Call-Girls.
the problem with pre-nups is they are routinely swept away. the slightest inconsistency in declarations, claims of change of circumstances, (ie now have kids or no job), didn’t understand what it really meant. was pushed into it (told me wouldn’t marry without pre-nup). etc etc etc. the law would need to change to prevent the trivial dismissal of pre-nups and make them binding.

The lab leak theory is a diversion to mislead the people, covid-19 does not exist, it is an illusion created by the Rockefeller and Gates Foundations, the CDC, the WHO, UN Agenda 2030, the WEF, etc., etc., to terrify the people into getting the MRNA genocide shots. These demons did not have to have a real threat to get people to kill themselves, all they had to do was produce the illusion and the deal was sealed.
Covid-19 is the flu and colds and pneumonia renamed, millions of illegals are allowed to cross the border and not one had to take the genocide clot shot, members of congress and their staffs are exempt, members of the UN are exempt , as are the WHO, the CDC, the NIH, etc., etc., it is all a scam an psyop, the biggest scam and psyop in the history of the world, this is not about health, it is a depopulation agenda, driven by some of the most evil demons in the history of the world.
No prizes for me, people have lived here since caveman days, the place has been destroyed and rebuilt several times.
Notice how the Germans sent the Abbey treasures to Rome but many disappeared along the way.

What a stupid & clueless comment.
The mendicant caste have no idea of the damage they do to our society & to the people who build it.
Western liberal democracies provide a superior standard of living & leisure not because of wankers like Monty & his ilk, but despite of the damage they do.
The western world would be far better off, our standard of living higher, & our enjoyment of life better, if every leftist were eliminated, tonight.

There is rising discontent that Zelensky has betrayed Ukraine and some are hinting that perhaps it is payback for the Neonazi’s persecution of the Jews and how he married a Christian and baptized his children, all to blend in to hide his Jewish heritage.

I posted Mia’s tweets on the OOT back on Tues/ Wed. I took a look to see if the ABC or The Age covered it on Thurs. Zero interest.
Out of curiosity, I read one of Mr Armstrong’s “reply”.
Seems to me very much like an agony aunt’s page on a slow day.
He poses a question himself, for which he has already written a ten-page answer.
Quite a pathetic operation.

Also, I noticed that some people here, must be at least 200 years old to have accumulated all those ‘lived’ experiences judging by the anecdotes they present.
It is actually only few, come to think of it.
One of them has had so much misfortune in his life with authorities, banks and staff, that I wouldn’t blame him for contemplating the final solution.
Must be a resilient fellow to keep going in good cheer despite all that misery.
A true inspiration to us all. Well done you.
This is the problem with the Press.
They ignore issues they don’t want aired.
It’s easier than suppression, and much cheaper.

Mr Burke is entitled to appeal within ten working days after Thursday’s ‘stage 4’ hearing to decide if he should be fired.
The teacher, who spent three months in prison for defying a court order to stay away from his school following a row that started over the preferred pronouns of a transgender pupil, was informed of the decision yesterday.

Did someone claim tradies were at wit’s end under covid?
A history rewrite.
In Melbourne they were in almost continuous work except for a couple of weeks when Andrews ordered a two week shut down.
I also recall the federal government tipping in a generous incentive to encourage building works called ‘Homebuilder’.
I prefer to use non woke language.
Cavemen.
Looks like James Hewitt might be off the hook after all.
I never believed it.
The price is too high to allow a ‘basket’ into the line of succession.
All the philandering happens after the heir&spare had been produced.
These days, it’s easy to detect, besides, the affair happened years after he was born.

Reposting my comment
duk put up an excellent and definitive analysis of the JFK shooting a few weeks ago.
I can’t believe it is still being argued on the Cat, is it like the endless Japan should not have been bombed and OMG I cant believe I got the needless needle so must defend my lemming like behaviour (unless it was needed to keep your job to feed your kids and pay the mortgage) re runs?
It is like being in the bar and the beers keep coming. Is it the comfort of familiar conversations or purely the desire to save face by holding a position?
It is ground hog day over and over.
Same in SA.
Son in Law had a terrible time trying to hire tradies during 2021/22. At times, they would simply not show up, eg, the plasterers had agreed on a start date two or three weeks away, so the bathroom tilers were hired to follow them. At the last minute, plasterers were a no show, so tilers had to be rescheduled, wasting weeks and disrupting the completion date.
Every tradie he contacted/hired was flat out. Two – a concreting gang and the plasterer – managed to score better offers above their outrageous prices and so they simply left SiL in the lurch. I doubt that any were going hungry.
Commenter like to compare Harry with the Duke Of Windsor, but a better comparison might be Prince George, the Duke of Kent.
Basically, the guy was a Flamer, so they brought in Princess Marina, who rooted like a rattlesnake and was a looker to boot, to show him what his dick was for.
Sadly, he died in a plane crash.
And he was a Nazi sympathiser …

I know the Kennedy assasination was rehashed here a week or two ago. For most of my life I’ve been on the ‘Oswald alone’ group. Now I’m really beginning to wonder. Tucker Carlson wouldn’t be saying this without a good source.
That’s what happens when trust is lost – EVERYTHING becomes suspect.
January 20, 2023
Tucker Carlson said something very brave about Nixon’s political demise
I always find Tucker Carlson’s monologues interesting, and that’s true whether I agree with him or not. I also find that he’s very brave, speaking truths that others in the media either oppose or are scared to utter. Thursday night saw Tucker take one of his bravest stands yet, advancing a spin on Watergate that, if true, puts him in the Deep State’s crosshairs and, if he’s wrong, makes him look utterly foolish.
Tucker’s monologue began by pointing out that Biden is the architect of every existential disaster facing America today. It’s impossible to argue with that. Indeed, the only argument is the one coming from the left, and it’s a shift in perspective, not one in fact. To the left, Biden’s open borders, support for the Ukraine War, attacks on individual liberty, and the war on American moral and cultural norms (including his support for racial divisions and transgenderism) are all good things that purify America.
Where Tucker went beyond the obvious into the land of bravery was to say that the Deep State was behind John F. Kennedy’s assassination and, when Nixon started nosing around, the Deep State took him out too:
(If you don’t want to watch the video, this article summarizes it.)
As I said, when you put yourself out as Tucker did, you’re either right and the Deep State may come for you, or you’re wrong, in which case you risk your credibility. I’ll just add a couple of observations.
Carlson continued:
On June 23, 1972, Nixon met with the then–CIA director, Richard Helms, at the White House. During the conversation, which thankfully was tape-recorded, Nixon suggested he knew “who shot John,” meaning President John F. Kennedy. Nixon further implied that the CIA was directly involved in Kennedy’s assassination, which we now know it was. Helms’s telling response? Total silence, but for Nixon, it didn’t matter because it was already over. Four days before, on June 19, The Washington Post had published the first of many stories about a break-in at the Watergate office building.
Unbeknownst to Nixon and unreported by The Washington Post, four of the five burglars worked for the CIA. The first of many dishonest Watergate stories was written by a 29-year-old metro reporter called Bob Woodward.
Carlson went on to reveal that Woodward “wasn’t a journalist,” he “came directly from the classified areas of the federal government.”
With “top-secret clearance,” the host stated, Woodward “worked regularly with the intel agencies” before he was inexplicably hired by The Post and handed “the biggest story in the country.”
If all of this is starting to sound a lot like Elon Musk’s “Twitter Files,” that’s the point.
MK-ULTRA, COINTELPRO, and a host of other constitutional violations by the U.S. intel agencies were the subject of the 1970s Church Committee, which exposed the Deep State to the American people and was meant to put an end to the Orwellian programs.
Following the release of the Twitter Files and the clear weaponization of our media, our DOJ, and our intelligence agencies, Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) was forced to promise, among other things, a Church Committee 2.0 before he was handed the gavel he so desperately craved.
With Thursday’s monologue, Carlson wasn’t trying to set his career on fire on national television, he was showing that history is repeating and rhyming right before our very eyes with the convenient discovery of classified documents in Joe Biden’s possession.
The Deep State is done with Biden, Carlson believes and is orchestrating his removal from the White House.
Now there’s a hot take.
What we have, in fact, is a bunch of people doing endless variations of struths all vaxxies are gunna die, soon, very soon, horribly soon and one or two vaccinated who thinks the constant crying that the sky is falling is utter nonsense.
Which it is.
That’s what’s so much fun about history.
You can argue forever about whether Julius Caesar was a great guy or a monster and there’s no way of knowing the answer. 😀
Matt Gaetz may save America. That Church Committee 2.0 is a big deal.
…and to the lunatic Dem partisans, Daniel Patrick Moynihan agreed with the libertarians, paleo cons and MAGA/Freepers on these issues. The CIA needs to go!
Not really. More and more is coming to light about the insidious CIA and how this snake pit has manipulated world affairs and ruined millions of people’s lives over the decades. JFK is just one chapter, although a very prominent one.
This book was written by a lefty so that is to be said, But it throws up a lot of insight as to how the CIA works and their true motives; The Devil’s Chessboard: Allen Dulles, the CIA, and the Rise of America’s Secret Government
Put this book’s content alongside the more recent cesspool of CIA sinister adventures; Trump and Russiagate, Brennan, Ukraine , NSA 5 Eyes etc etc and the picture becomes quite clear. The US is not a true Republic or a Democracy. That’s all a facade, theatre of the plebs.
He’s both, it just depends on your point of view.
Every individual has their own perspective.
Hence why some people believe communism is good and others believe it is bad
The first time I heard a mother advise her daughter to marry first for money, and for love second time around it shocked me. I thought she was joking, but she was perfectly serious.
My mate accidentally heard his mother offer his sister pretty much this advice. I reckon it precipitated his massive trust issues.
MK-ULTRA, COINTELPRO, and a host of other constitutional violations by the U.S. intel agencies were the subject of the 1970s Church Committee,
I don’t think that is correct.
The House Select Committee on Assassinations was set up because of unanswered questions about 3 Political Assassinations in 9 in years.
JFK [1963]; Robert Kennedy [1968]; Martin Luther King [1968]; and
the shooting of Governor George Wallace on the 1972 Campaign Trail.
Ex Chilean Ambassador Orlando Letelier was also gunned down in Washington’s business district in 1976, a hit that was likely Intel related.
Despite the man made horror and totalitarian stupidity we are facing collectively, life can still throw up the odd giggle.
The collapse of Victoria’s Secrets was hilarious.
Who would have thought that Barbie would fail to gush over mens’ boxers, industrial bras, CK dykewear and tradies scungies.

This is really the problem with The Bureaucracy in general. These organisations outlast political lifespans by a mile. Hence the f’cks wind up thinking they run the show. Directing the average spineless Mong of a politician, whilst stone walling any politician with half a clue. (Albo V Trump).

Exactly. My dad knew a sparky in a nearby small town who had his business destroyed by the government reaction to covid. Knew as in the bloke committed suicide after said reaction destroyed everything he had.
Yep. It is heartbreaking to see no (or limited) personal consequences to those who make stupid decisions (decisions so stupid even my dog would not make them) ruining the lives of others.
Example: Jacinda Ardern. For what she did not NZ she deserves to be shackled & chained in a pit dungeon, in the cold damp dark, fed rotten scraps, until eventually it is realised the scraps haven’t been eaten for a few weeks. Then fill the hole in.
Instead, she loses nothing, not even receiving a good thrashing or sequestration of her (questionably accumulated) wealth.

You’re listening, dickhead.
one of Mrs Entropy’s friends, who married a doctor while at uni and never worked a day in her life, is quite open about divorcing her husband once the kids leave home. She also said by then their net worth should be more than enough to travel wherever she wants.
My GP and his missus must have been the exception. Married for over forty years. Only marriage for each. Two kids. She stayed at home, did some of the obligatory voluntary work. Looked after kids and house, even laid out his clothes every morning. Said he’d be lost without her. Wouldn’t be able to dress himself. lol!
He retired a couple of years early as she developed cancer and he said it was his turn to look after her. He was a good doc. Loved aspirating samples with a bloody horse needle and no anaesthetic. Ouch!
Didn’t believe in mollycoddling adults. Children, totally different with them.
Good doc, miss you John.

Pogria at 4:37 – my old man was a doctor and married two nurses. Fair to say I don’t think it quite worked out how any of them expected. Two out of three dead now. Planning how life is to go is rarely time well spent.
