Apparently I’m not permitted opinions as they can be confused with assertions. Anyway we were off to the local picnic races tomorrow but the racing has been cancelled at the last minute due to ‘track conditions’. I don’t get it, we’ve had perfect weather the last few weeks, a little rain, a week ago, temps haven’t been too hot, low 30’s max. So how can a track be declared unsafe at the last minute? Surely it would’ve been obvious last week.
They’re still having the day itself but no racing.
Stop it with the infantile nonsense. You’re at liberty to make any comment you want including assertions. However, your assertions are also contestable.
Now, explain how the welfare/ immigration nexus would work if we’re going to clean up the cesspit.
Yes.
Totally unrealistic to assume generation from all units 24/7, but that was just to get a baseline recurring labour cost as a bare minimum. They can’t claim multiplier downstream jerbs, because jerbs which exist because of power generation exist now using coal generated power. The corollary of saying “it will create lotsa jerbs” is “this power will be very expensive”.
The offshore maintenance costs will put offshore oil and gas in the shade. Speaking of which, the Victorian Government is trying to force Esso to pull out all the concrete foundations and steel piling as part of the decommissioning of Bass Strait offshore oil and gas infrastructure. I assume the wind farms will have to factor in the same level of remediation. (/sarc)

Simple slogan for the Opposition on superannuation and government interference…..
“It’s your money not the governments!”
Correct, and the Trustees of Superannuation Funds just like a Family Trust are legally bound to look after the best interests of the Beneficiaries. So good luck Guv’ment in trying to swing the money towards idealistic ventures. The Lawyers will have a field day if those ventures are proved to be sub optimal investments and the Trustees will get their arses kicked good and proper. And rightly so.
I want to see a 50/50 quota on steel fixers and concrete placers. The chicks will be lining up.
In other mysteries, I watched three specimens of male toxicity and supremacy push a small stalled car around a roundabout this afternoon while the female driver steered.
Why didn’t a swag of chicks leap out of their cars to push too? Lazy slags.
I have, at last, come to embrace the idea that many people are like the boiling frog.
Like a frog in water that is slowly but steadily heated, people will eventually notice it is too hot and get out.
And again, just as no matter how simply you explain something to a frog, the frog doesn’t understand…
* It really is a myth that frogs can be boiled if the rate of warming is slow enough. Too much heat affects their physiology and makes them look for somewhere else, just like any creature. Cold blooded creatures have an optimal range of body temperatures (broader than mammals) which they try to keep to.
Australia has perhaps the most generous welfare benefits in the developed world. Can you explain how you would square the welfare/immigration circle with an upside down age pyramid?
Eliminate the financial disincentives for having kids / more kids:
1). Back when we had an above replacement level birth rate, there were tax concessions for having kids.
2). Incentivise marriage and marriages capable of producing children by having taxation on a family basis rather than an individual basis.
3). Reduce the cost of housing by nuking from orbit every single planning department.
4). Implement these policies and drastically down size immigration to reduce demand driven prices across all goods. Allow time for the policies to work.

Curious she’s doing this on the very same day that Tony Blair and Willie Haigh are advocating exactly the same thing:
“Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and the ex-leader of the Tory Party William Hague have called for a “technological revolution” in how the state monitors citizens, including the imposition of a digital ID that would include swaths of personal data, in a scheme being likened to Communist China.”
Smells very WEFish to me. Maybe some journo could as Katy if our version could be “likened to Communist China” also.

I’ve collected a lot of silverware over the past 50 years and I’ve always loved to keep it shiny bright. However, last December when I unpacked the table silver (one five branch and two individual candlesticks) prior to Christmas, Son in Law implored me to leave it in all its dinginess because it tied in so well with the rustic ambiance of ‘the great hall’ (as the kids term it).
I suppressed a pedantic grr! and handed it over. And he was right. The table looked wondeful and, as the day progressed, rivulets of red and white wax trickled over the classic shapes of the candlesticks, entertaining our 18 sit-down lunch diners. Next day was a ‘cuzzy’ party for all the nieces and nephews from all over Australia – about 65 of them with their assorted hangers-on. And the wax decorated candelabra remained on the tables, albeit with new candles. (Naughty, I know, but I don’t seem to be so fussy these days.)
Daughter did, at least, remove the red drippings for her mother in law’s 90th birthday party in January, and filled the (still dingy) candlesticks with pink candles to match the theme of the day: everything pink. Balloons and streamers fluttered around the great hall and, after another week of cooking, an amazing buffet covered the huge table.
Dear Alma sufferes dementia, but she had a ‘good day’ for her party, recognising almost all of her 50 guests, including the KI contingent; our son and partner, and two grandchildren and their partners and a great granddaughter.
Now my candlesticks are covered in pink waxy wiggles. And still dingy. I expect that they shall remain that way until the first weekend in March, when Granddaughter celebrates her 21st. More cooking, cooking… and more fun with 60 exuberant youngsters.

Those are some decent inducements in a highly taxed, high welfare state. Presumably the money for that is going to come from somewhere. Assuming we’re going to keep the current welfare arrangements while adding new welfare, who is going to pay for it?
That didn’t work out well for covid vaccines.
The thinking about internet banking security was that the liability should be with the party who has the greatest ability to prevent damages, which was the banks not the customers. Should this be similar?
Unless we want “switched at birth” stories to become more common… I’d say the platform operator should be liable and they must be able to transfer part of that risk to the software vendors.

Since the HC in 2010 said Super was constitutional because it was actually a tax , I am surprised nobody has tried the”it’s a tax therefore really belongs to government” line.

To be fair Hungary has been totally abolishing income tax for women with four or more children. Now that is what you can call a powerfully targeted incentive!
China has started too:

Which suggests interesting things about near term Chinese political future. At least they’re doing something though. But by contrast in the West we’re too busy trying to get young women to identify as qwerty:
The Daily Chart: The Transgender Social Contagion? | Power Line (23 Feb)
Scary, scary numbers. I reckon our birth rate is going to take even more of a dive over the next few years due to this galloping mass insanity, which is what it is. The mRNA vaccine effect on fertility isn’t going to help either.
Labor can’t even consider co payments or income assets testing for ndis.
No major party in Australia is remotely interested in limiting existing welfare.
What we have is Labor honking that tax rates on super contributions are concessions that take away money that is rightly the government’s to spend.
None of it rightly the money of those who earned and saved it.
Thank you to you both- it’s not ever hard to do, it’s like they deliberately don’t do it.
Dot, MiltF
Yes, it makes sense. Another descriptive way of saying “cut taxes” is cut spending. What are the chances of that in modern Australia? You would have to upend a large number of societal norms in order to do that. The Libs agreed to the NDIS, which began in 2013/14 (?) and is now costing around $30 billion a year. Imagine cutting a few lines in the part of the budget, and then their ABC doing an entire special about the kid with two heads and six arms needing financial support from da government, they’d starve otherwise.

Assuming we’re going to keep the current welfare arrangements while adding new welfare, who is going to pay for it?
We shouldn’t keep the current welfare arrangements, the “public service” should be slashed and burned. Billions of dollars right there. For the public service, I would take a top down approach, do most of the firing at the top and middle, destroy any dreams the lower plebs had of a big fat management job.
Yes, it makes sense. Another descriptive way of saying “cut taxes” is cut spending. What are the chances of that in modern Australia?
Laffer curve JC- cut taxes, real economy grows, tax receipts go up. One lesson from the Trump era, if the real economy is strong, gov debt doesn’t seem to matter.
And even with all those incentives the Hungarian birthrate is:
1.56 births per woman (2020)
Albeit it rose from a paltry 1.25 in 2010.
She’s a Spook.
What did you expect?

Yes the Lafer curve works, but we’re not the sort of people who would like it to work. Supply side isn’t just taxes. Lafer is also about raising living standards by cutting costs to consumers and business. Energy would be the glaring example. Trump said go out and produce oil&gas. Not happening here.

THE TOP FIVE POLICIES AUSTRALIA NEEDS IN 2018:
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.
“Sanity From a Surprising Place—French and Dutch Publishers Pointedly Refuse to Censor Roald Dahl
French publisher Gallimard, which has published historical greats including Proust and Camus, sniffed at the Brits as only the French can do: “This rewrite only concerns Britain,” they said in a statement. Furthermore:
We have never changed Roald Dahl’s writings before, and we have no plans to do so today. [Sniff.]
My question was and continues to be: Who had the gall to dare touch a great author’s books? Dahl has sold over 250 million copies of his works, but some woke junior flunkies in a cramped cubicle think they are somehow superior arbiters of taste? It’s mind-blowing.
As if raising a giant middle finger to Puffin, Dahl fans have created a run on his heretofore untouched printed works—and, according to online seller World of Books, sales for his books have shot up 600 percent. Ha!
I never thought I’d say this—but thank God for the French and the Dutch.
”
Awesome! the full story is at Red State.
I think the view that everyone’s favorite subject is their own self sits very well on this blog.
Everyone exchanges their personal opinions and anecdotes, but very few do just that.
We also make links and comments to wider issues. A bit of both makes the blog what it is.
I don’t try to big time my political knowledge for it is quite limited but my experience is wide.
Yes, Cassie is right, two of my sons have lived in Sydney’s woeful public housing and I have at times got them out of there, the high rises at least, to the best of my ability. Small dingy flats are a scenario I am not unfamiliar with, ditto for Sydney’s west. I’ve lived in a few chicken coops myself and still have other rellies by marriage I visit in Sydney and Newcastle living in fairly basic conditions.
I do wonder Joh why you don’t give a serve to others here who have property and assets and who don’t hesitate to say so, gained over a lifetime of profile work, for Hairy especially, and in our case, property smarts together. Try Calli, or Old Ozzie or hit on JC. Some possibly inherited assets, which we didn’t. You could even have done some more property accumulation, Joh, as you had a good steady job. If what I write bores people and I don’t get massive upticks, what does it matter? People can scroll. I don’t mind that you live in a motel; in many ways I admire it, for it is your choice rather than a necessity. Same for Salvatore, where his business is his two room home. To each their own. I’d be happy as a caravanning Grey Nomad if Hairy wanted to be.
Or maybe, as our plan is, we’ll simply stay put now No more moves. 🙂
Yep.
Instead of sacking all the Directors-General [ like Goss did in 1989], and igniting a Murdoch Press firestorm, Newman took the easy way out by sacking 14,000 little people.
Queensland will eventually forget Campbell Newman, but it will take another 20 years.
We shouldn’t keep the current welfare arrangements, the “public service” should be slashed and burned. Billions of dollars right there. For the public service, I would take a top down approach, do most of the firing at the top and middle, destroy any dreams the lower plebs had of a big fat management job.
You only have to follow testimony at the ROBODEBT RC to see why the Federal Public Service needs to be decimated from the top down .. Folk on over $250K thru to nearly $1million a year not concerned about the “policy” or problems but simply trying to tongue bath ministers .. ministers who, apparently, don’t care or haven’t a clue as long as they get positive publicity & keep their extravagant salaries, expenses & power-base .. no, real, idea or input into their portfolios just following high level PS “advice” on issues regardless of the consequences ..!
Reality is the only qualification for ministerial office in Oz appears to be the length of the tongue & the brown-nosing expertise on the head tonguester’s rear-end and/or appendage ..!
Three times is enemy action.
I am interested how to live and resist the evils our society and Government are visiting on us.
We have no Opposition worth supporting. The institutions are wokies wearing skinsuits, and demanding not just respect (h/t Iowahawk) but absolute compliance. The captured education, justice and health systems are teaching kids morally defective views of reality. I am Australian, white, male, of farming heritage, mining industry worker. I like fossil fuels, making loud noises, individual responsibility, banging beautiful women that I have been married to for a long time, and earning wealth for myself and others.
How can I kick the system’s captors in the goolies?
RoboDebt is like COVID/19.
Every Welfare recipient who died from 2014 to 2022 necked themselves over the Liberal Party RoboDebt.
According to Labor Party shills.
Why are you doing this Lizzie? I don’t mind a bit of stick, but please don’t direct others to give it to me.
I can do it quite easily by myself.

Hi Calli.
Y’know that Gay brother of yours you’ve been talking about a lot lately?
Do you have his permission to disclose his unusual lifestyle to a bunch of strangers on a Blog?
Not all public servants are pubic serpents like the humourless parkinson- for some it’s work and work isn’t always easy to find.

Uh huh?
The families of loafers don’t matter, eh?
Err, am I not alone in lowering the plimsoll line on the gin bottle?
Time for us to think about beginning drinkies too.
Not long back from lunch out and then shopping with Hairy.
We bought an air fryer (friend had one in the UK and we liked it) and replaced a sandwich maker.
Had a pleasant chat with a Chinese Australian sales guy in Bing Lee’s. He wasn’t keen on taxation.
Then we looked at new beds as we are redoing our bedroom. We tried out a king bed that individually moves the separate mattresses up and down. Get on and try it, said the helpful saleswoman, so we did and she drove for us as we tilted this way and that. Just like Business Class, I said. She and I bonded over tales about getting our diamond rings which sparkled so well under the shop lights. She said her lovely one was a ‘peace’ ring. The only way my husband said he’d get some peace, she smiled. I said mine was an ‘eternity’ one. ‘Cos he’s been married to me for what seems like an eternity.
So all in all, a nice sociable afternoon at the shops.
We thought the tilted totally Australian made mattress and base would be very helpful for bed making as we get older. It tilts at both ends. Currently Hairy does the heavy lifting when fitting the corners. Now, as we told her, we have to measure up the room and discuss pros and cons before making any purchase.
Not at all, Sancho. Purely medicinal in my case.
#metoo.
I even measured mine out in a medicine glass.
Ed Case is being a snipey little bitch again. At Calli this time.
That was tried in Queensland to a very small degree. The liberal government went from an incredibly huge majority to the Liars party winning government after one term.
It wouldn’t be easy.
The structural issues facing Australia can be fixed through disciplined and consistent Government.
Mass migration in contrast is the easy fix that ill disciplined and incompetent government can adopt at any moment as a fix, with some not inconsiderable down sides.
Weirdo.

You’re kidding me?! That was straight up assault. Lucky not to have killed him given the way the back of his head hit the floor.
Apologies Calli, for any personal invasion you felt by my comment.
I will regard your name as off limits in any comment I make from now on.
There are a huge number of well-off others Joh could look to denigrating; that was my point.
I find it very tiresome to have such nonsense directed constantly towards me, that’s all.
Hi Lizzie.
Remember “Auntie” Greasy Apron [bless her soul] from Leichhardt that you left your kids with while you were working towards the Palace in Vaucluse:
Back in the 1970s.
Who else was in Auntie’s house?
Did she have a brother in a back room who had been brought up in Mittagong Boys Home before he graduated to Gosford Boys Home, from where he went on to bigger things?
Did you ever check it out first?
Did you even care?

Actually, I make mine a bit on the diluted side compared to some, who work on 1/3 gin, 2/3 tonic.
I put a jigger (40 ml) in with 150 ml of tonic, which equals about 8%.
Less with ice.

Fled Australia, reckons he shoulda got a medal for murdering 19 y.o. Arnold Walker.
Someone, Bob I think, damned all homosexual men as revolting ppl. I don’t agree. Apart from their preternatural kink, most of those I’ve met have been decent and kind. One I count as a friend, he gave me a part in a play he was producing as a much needed distraction from real life when I was in bad trouble. Others I have known have been largely friendly. Two have shown quite extraordinary levels of bitchiness of the sort one might expect from the stereotypes, but no worse than some women. On balance, homosexuals don’t seem to me any worse than human beans in general.
That isn’t to say that what they get up to with each other doesn’t strike me as disgusting, it does, but as long as I don’t have to watch them, I don’t think it’s any of my business.
When they put up posters, it becomes my business. Kudos to the guys who painted over the teddy bear pervert.

Incidentally my Spanish apartment is anything but dingy.
Every room is painted a different colour, the foyer bright blue, bathroom yellow, sitting room cream, kitchen that lovely clay orange, bedroom is white.
Looks grand with the mission brown.
The interior as well as the exterior walls are at least a foot thick but air-conditioning tells me summers are very warm.
Cordoba is looking like one of those places where I could dream of having a little place of my own.
Why do you do this? Walker was trying to kill the other cop. He had multiple chances to retreat and the cops weren’t trigger happy.

the “public service” should be slashed and burned. Billions of dollars right there.
That was tried in Queensland to a very small degree. The liberal government went from an incredibly huge majority to the Liars party winning government after one term.
The mistake there was mass sackings. Don’t sack anyone, just stop recruitment. Vacancies to be filled internally (thus causing another vacancy). If that cannot be done, monthly submissions to the minister asking his/her/xer personal approval to advertise each individual vacancy.
With regular staff turnover, reductions of 5 to 10% should be possible each year.
That Arnold Walker? That Zachary Rolfe?
Speaking of Frank Lloyd Wright, I saw a “hosted tour” of some of his houses advertised for an eye-watering amount of money.
I reckoned I could fly up the pointy end to and from the US and to each location staying five-star all the way for that money.
With the added benefit of not having to listen to some coiffured, condescending, Erko wearing, brown shoes/black pants/no socks wanker lecture me all the way.
I think some minor celebrity foodie types work on the same model. Find twenty suckers to pay a fortune for an “exclusive guided tour” which basically funds the host (plus one) first class all the way.

Australian Christian Lobby MD removed by board
Joanna Panagopoulos
Australian Christian Lobby managing director Martyn Iles has had his employment terminated by the board, saying their new strategy would lean towards politics over gospel.
“I hasten to add that there is no question of misconduct. Rather, the Board has reviewed ACL’s strategic direction and decided I am not the right person to lead the revised strategy, which focuses more primarily on political tactics, less on the gospel,” he wrote in a Facebook post.
“Having heard this articulated, I absolutely agree with them that I am not the right person for that vision. I have always been a preacher first, a politician second (or third……)

Plus either 15 manipulated fake dickless upticks, or else this blog has some pretty stupid people on it.
I think it would be great if we could get a listing by hovering over the upticks to see who was really making them. Are there really fifteen people on this blog I would like to have a very serious word to?
No.
No he hasn’t.
He was.
He was also against, I believe, the Voice.
Rolfey went out that night looking for trouble.
Unfortunately for Arnold Walker, Rolfey also had a Police gun and an attitude that that he was entitled to kill.
Aboriginal people in Yuendumu are still furious about what he has done.
Yet, according to some lifelong Drone in Inner Suburban Sydney:
Guys, including Cassie above, thanks for being here. Beacons of goodwill.
Brainless men and some self-righteous women have fallen before my ‘serious words’, by the way. 🙂
I’m not into inquisitions into who upticks what. Suffice it to say some of us never approve of meanness.

I’ve often thought of that young man who was having a chat, on his way home from work, with a young constable just inside Flinders St. Station. He was spear tackled from behind, into the floor and allegedly* fluids were running from his ears, nose, mouth and groin.
I will never forget seeing that.
* internet scrubbed of images of bodily fluids within about four hours that day.
You’re lying again.
Rolfey had been told that arresting Arnold Walker wasn’t a priority anyway and could be easily accomplished in the daytime.
Rolfey took a unilateral decision to arrest Arnold Walker at a party in the middle of the night, in the dark, among hundreds of people.
The guy is a loose cannon, the NT Police now realise they should never have employed him, and now he’s fled Australia to avoid giving evidence at the Inquest into Mr Walker’s death.
I find personal details extremely tedious but scrolling past isn’t difficult. Some like that kind of thing, and my tastes are not, and should not, be the arbiter of what is posted here.
It may be a male/female thing. Women seem to want lots of human interest, blokes tend to be more concerned with things and ideas.

Oh, and I don’t give a stuff about houses either. As long as they stay dry and a reasonable temperature, I’m happy to live in them.
Dover Beach:
The author of Dilbert is right. We need to separate the Negros out of society – too many have all sense of civilisation and self control.
Don’t like it? All that’s happened so far is the forced communal living of two different classes of people, one of which thinks they have the right to kill the other “because.”
We separate children who won’t get along for that reason – now we should separate the adults as well.

Signs of the Roman Empire’s collapse taken from this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tY3sQwiqniI
Start ticking off all the events as they happen in The West and collect the whole set!
☑ Barbarians invade again and again.
☑ Mad despotic emperors.
☑ Insane levels of factionalism.
☑ Key institutions become corrupt.
☑ Reforms fail.
☐ Plagues that last for decades.
☐ Harvests decline.
☐ The economy collapses.
☐ The Forum (seat of government and a CBD) is abandoned.
☐ The government loses control of the army.
I’ve ticked off a few recent ones to get you started.
“When they put up posters, it becomes my business. Kudos to the guys who painted over the teddy bear pervert.”
Try living in Sydney, the city is awash with it. It’s hard, very hard to ignore the “business”.
The Sydney CBD and the inner city are drenched in “Pride” flags and LGBTQI+ slogans. There are more decorations and banners celebrating “Pride” than there were decorations at Christmas time. Just let that reality sink in, I think it’s quite revealing and very disturbing. Walking home tonight, I thought to myself, we are now definitely living in a post-Christian society. But remember, apparently love is love, in all its ways. Well, I don’t buy that, I never have and I never will.
When it comes to gays, I’ve long been tolerant and most people I know have also been tolerant. I don’t want to criminalise someone’s sexuality unless that sexuality preys on children, but I don’t want it paraded and flaunted in front of me. I was brought up with gay men, my mother always had gay male friends, and I personally still have gay friends, less so than twenty and thirty years ago and you want to know why? Because many are bitchy and nasty, particularly towards women. But I’ll caveat my statement so as to not offend some here, not all gay men are bitchy and nasty. I suspect many here have a family member who is gay. My cousin has been in the same relationship for twenty-five years with his male partner. We were asked to be tolerant and we genuinely and sincerely agreed to this tolerance but I can’t help getting the feeling that this tolerance is now being used to smash us, if we object to a lewd mural, we’re bigots, if we object to men walking in a parade with their bums showing, we’re bigots, and on and on it goes. Also, and we’re most certainly not allowed to discuss this because, you know, even mentioning this fact means that we’re outrageous homophobes, and that is that young male homosexual culture is highly promiscuous, and it was this dreadful promiscuity which gave rise to AIDS and more recently, to Monkey Pox. I remember watching a documentary on how AIDS began. It wasn’t for the faint hearted, how gay men in San Francisco and New York behaved sexually. It was animalistic and that’s unfair to animals. Not even animals behave in such a promiscuous manner. Even the writer Larry Kramer, a gay men, back in the early 1980s urged other gay men to stop having sex because he KNEW what was causing the AIDS epidemic.
Anyway, we’ve now reached a stage where if you question SSM, you’re a bigot, if you question the wisdom of gay couples using surrogates to make babies and then to bring up children, you’re a bigot. Ask Margaret Court, Israel Folau, George Pell and others who’ve bravely popped their heads above the parapet and who’ve bravely refused to kowtow to progressive queer agendas, ask them how they have have been treated? They have been crucified in public, their careers destroyed, their reputations shattered. George Pell even went to jail. Only two weeks ago Margaret Court was defamed in the stadium that bears our name. And there are many more who’ve suffered. Christianity has become marginalised, however laughably the activists are too shit scared to attack Islam and Muslims, oh and which reminds me, there ain’t no “Pride” decorations out in the Western Sydney suburbs of Lakemba, Greenacre and Bankstown. How do I know? I asked someone at work who lives in Bankstown if there were and she responded with a definite NO. Our large institutions have been fully captured by these far-left progressive queer agendas, and those who object, such as myself, keep our heads down. Tomorrow night is Mardi Gras and the police, the navy, and the army will all have men and women marching along Oxford Street, a deliberately political and provocative act. The bottom line is that they have no right to march. And we wonder why Pell was targeted?
Anyway, I don’t think any of my above words are bombastic or ill-considered. I admit I can be guilty of hyperbole but if I have been overly hyperbolic above then I apologise. But quite frankly, I’ve had enough of Pride, of Queers, of Mardi Gras and all the rest of the LGBTQI+ crap, even my midday Pilates class began with the instructor saying that the music was dedicated to “Pride”. I thought to myself, lying on the Pilates reformer machine, WTF!
Oh and at work this afternoon, I went and made myself a cup of tea in the kitchen. Whilst the tea was infusing, I listened to an excited young woman say how she couldn’t wait for the weekend, it was going to be so much better than NYE. Feigning ignorance, I turned around and asked her “what will be so much better?” She looked at me and said “Mardi Gras”. I said “oh”.
Andrew Sullivan, the gay British American writer (who’s also a conservative), who lived through the AIDS crisis in NYC, has warned that there will be a backlash against all of this and that backlash will not be pretty.

And the WEF nutters are banning fertilizer usage because of ridiculous nitrogen “pollution” reasons. The economic collapse is on the horizon with debt mountains getting higher and higher. Currency denaturization via inflation is another one that the Empire had, we’re getting that too – like Weimar, Zimbabwe and etc.

Unless there was a corresponding chainsaw taken to Govt expenditures (never going to happen voluntarily) , adopting Latham’s plan would send our bonds (debt) several hundred basis points higher overnight and the AUD deep into the 50’s. The Govt’s unfunded liabilities would spiral out of control for a time, and there is no guarantee our rent seeking Business sector would even respond by investing in the economy.
We’d be broke, fkd and far from home for a while. Like a decade.
We’ve taken our economy into this shitty dead end with no way out. That’s why our Govts fk about with immigration ponzi , Mardi Gras, Super and renewballs.

It comes down to public decency. Showing your bum in public in a provocative manner isn’t decent. Mooning people can end up with a fine, so go figure…
I too have had the acquaintance of gays, most I have known are discreet rather than flamboyant.
Time to step away from the keyboard, Bob.
Margaret Court can look after herself, but I’m concerned about Martyn Iles.
He’s got no Wiki page, which is a big red flag, and his preachin’ is outta the Old Testament.
Has the guy even heard of Jesus Christ?
It’s hard to know.
I agree Cassie
In all my travels in Catholic Europe I have never ever seen even one remotely Catholic object in an airbnb, buddhas yes, and in Madrid a male torso in pride regalia (not in the advertisinf photos mind you) it’s pretty obvious what’s acceptable and what’s not.
There’s a remedy for that that’s much cheaper than an air fryer.

Your criticism is noted, Doc. However when the Gay lobby targets kids for their perversions I WILL step up and and call them for it.
At the moment, they’re like a herd of buffaloes running from the lightning – even the ones who aren’t actively supporting the stampede are part of it and should be aware they are all running for the cliff.
At some stage they need to remember they are part of a larger society and need to speak up. I don’t see that happening.
Kyle Bass on twitter believes China is very close to begin a takeover of Taiwan.
It’s interesting, to me anyhow, that in Italy there are just too many churches, many of them now sadly shut but in central Madrid there are only a few, you have to hunt for them.
I don’t know whether they were purged most in 1834 or 1936.
Cordoba is much more like Italy so far, though it looks like there was a bit of destruction in 1834, as you would expect.
Nationalists held Cordoba in the civil war, so spared that era of destruction.

Cassie of Sydney:
Wot you said – there was a decade of acceptance, live and let live. That’s gone and frankly the gay attitude toward straights is now combative and if you stand up to them it’s career threatening. It’s a bit like dealing with teenagers – all emotion and no thinking of the consequences to themselves and others.
To Hell with them.
They decided to continue to escalate, fair enough. But there’s a price for that.
The 1980 4 part version of Pride & Prejudice has the most verisimilitude of all the versions of P&P, even more than the 1995 Colin Firth version. In the 1980 version I had forgotten what a little snot Lizzie could be to poor Mr Darcy. I’ll have to reread the greatest novel in the World by our Jane to check.
In other news Taylor Sheridan has made it plain in 1923 that poor Alex, a heroine on par with Elsa in 1883, is likely to face a similar fate. If that happens I will engage the services of a hex doctor to make sure the swine suffers a particularly bad case of anal warts.
The criminal’s sentimentality reveals itself in compassion for babies and pets. The criminal uses insight to justify heinous acts.
“or 1936.”
Probably 1936. The Republicans slaughtered priests and nuns and destroyed churches.
I don’t think they should be allowed to recruit anyone to their various perversions, but trying to recruit children is, or should be, an outrage. See my comment on the thread about liberalism and perversion.
It isn’t primarily a moral issue for me. It’s a matter of protecting society in general, and the young in particular. We don’t need more perverts. We’ve already got more than enough.
Fact: The majority deadshits who swallowed .Gov lies and took their clot shot poison will drag down the 5 percenters with them into the abyss.

You’re joking, right. Alex is a well heeled thrill seeker. A comely lass, yes. Elsa was a big ballsy pioneer beauty of the American west , blazing her trail from Oklahoma to Wyoming and bedding an Indian brave to boot. She had the most seductive southern drawl.
Cassie – I gave you twenty three upticks – several of them dickless.
🙂
(I haven’t lost my sense of humour, but I do feel quite threatened these days by blacks and gays. As you may have noticed.)
Taylor Sheridan is a shit writer of unhistorical bilge.
1923 has a portrayal of a Catholic school for native children being run by a sadomasochist priest and head nun whose fellow nuns are either silent participants in the abuse or lesbians preying on the girls.
An anti Catholic smear pulled out of his shiny rhinestone cowboy arse.

Initially I’d agree with you, although it was evident from the beginning that she differed from the other upper class twits. The night up a tree surrounded by lions and then surrounded by sharks in the middle of the Suez proved she was of the right stuff.

Can see the glowies are still active on this blog. What a bunch of losers.
Sheridan insults anyone with any basic knowledge of horse use.
Nobody would plunge horses pulling wagons into a deep flowing river. You would unhitch the horses, swim them over and use ropes to pull the wagons across using the same horses. We are expected to believe experienced wagon train guides would be this stupid.
In another scene they let a whole yard of horses out while the cowboys sit back and presumably catch up and drove them where they want. The horse that throws a jockey in a race will give you a hint of what happens. You can’t catch riderless horses with riders unless you corral them somewhere.
Sheridan knows horses and yet treats the audience like fools.
I didn’t like 1883 much, but 1923 has some really nice filming in Africa. Incidentally, Liz, in 1923, has an excellent rack. Yellowstone is really good, and I can see why it’s the most popular streaming show ever.
I don’t know why folks read politics into films and series. It’s just entertainment and should be treated that way. If you want to read politics, pick up a book on politics or watch Tucker Carlson.
Gez, from memory every western I’ve ever watched has shown wagons being pulled the same way shown in 1923. Don’t sweat it.
