Bolt’s pretty much given himself away as controlled opposition like Bernardi
The destruction of American democracy and its replacement by a fascist one-party state would never have happened without the cheerleading (and corruption) of the one institution that used to protect the public interest, the news media.
The vast majority of the journalists we (and America) currently have hate the public and their democracy and its essential components like free speech and will do whatever it takes to destroy them.

The establishment left has decided now that if it can’t convince you it will imprison you, silence you, make you lose your job or beat you up. Why do I get the feeling prince hazza and king tampon are pretty cool with that?

My defense against the urge to fight injustice with fire.
Really? Since Blair and Bolt went paywall I have heard about twelve words from either of them.
Politically his achievements are nonpareil: he literally achieved world peace and unparalleled prosperity in the US. His other achievement for which he is persecuted, was turning the stone on the fetid swamp of US and Western society: that group of people who control society for their personal benefit and betray the wider interest and very structure of society. In short he revealed the traitors in our society.
This, and the rest of your appraisal Trump is so very astute, Cohenite. Thank you.
I think that his personality and various quirks do tend put people off. But there is no doubt that he overturned, for a time, the corrosive effect of the bureaucrats and mendicants on democracy.
When I look at that smelly old Pelosi witch, that foul, evil old woman I see the marriage of marx and mafia.
Plainly they are no more than the clickbait beneath the story “California woman says to Florida Man: Hold my beer!”
Really? Since Blair and Bolt went paywall I have heard about twelve words from either of them.
I get plenty of reports on what Bolt has said from posters here.
Cohenite, I have no aversion to Trump. I don’t need to “like” him, but I do like what he has been able to achieve.
I’m just very wary of groupie-dom, whether it’s Trump or Latham or Abbott or anyone else who does something I admire.
Think of all the slavering Pence groupies of a few years ago, then along comes another and then another to take their place. And when an objection is raised, the objector is caned for “disloyalty”. We’ve seen it happen.
I enjoyed the Fox interview with Ngo. Fox allows his guests uninterrupted speech. He is a gentleman.
Pretenders to the title here please take note.
Just arrived in, so add me to that growing list of admirers. So well said, Luzu.
I really liked the way Luzu cottoned on to something re transgenderism that I’ve raised here in an anthropological context – that in many pre-literate cultures men make social claim to ‘create’ men by emulating in some way ‘giving birth’ to men during male initiation ceremonies. In early human social development men were stronger, and more powerful due to that, but the main game was what women did – producing the future children of the group.
Producing a child from one’s body was a fearful thing for men, who needed to control women for that purpose. Deep in human male psychology may be a desire to ‘become women’, to emulate women’s functioning. Anger against women, seen in many of these remnant hunter-gatherer societies (for eg. aboriginal women’s broken skulls) may also relate to this fear of the ‘unknown’ in female bodies as well as leading to to the desire to control this power by ‘becoming’ it.
Luzu expressed very well how today that psychological desire, necessarily thwarted by biological realities, can lead to extreme positions of anger and violence by those who feel they are cheated out of something they desperately seek: to be considered fully female when they are not.
Similarly, women feeling envy for the biological ease men have – no menstruation, childbirth, breastfeeding and ‘submissive’ sexual intercourse – grasp at any straw to be male. Luzu says why isn’t this a threat to men? The answer is that men can laugh it off, as many do re homosexuality. Men are able to control weakness within their own ranks, for their hierarchical tendencies, unlike women’s, are deeply embedded, and weaklings always come off worst in these.
If, in evolutionary terms, we also may wonder why women survive past reproductive age, something many animals do not do, then we may look to human culture for the answer; and Luzu has provided a good example of that for us too. We become useful to group survival as grandmothers, and as ‘Aunties’. Like older female elephants, we nurture the silly young out of adolescence misbehaviours and into adulthood. We are also around to support the birthing and early childrearing process.
PJW reports:
A poll yesterday showed 70% of swinging voters and 39% of Dems voters think the indictment of Trump is politically motivated, and “you can tell how nervous the Left is about this turning Trump into a martyr by their strangely muted reaction to it.”

This week, “A Hay Plains Truckstop Playlist”, music to listen to in thongs on the shitter. That should leave plenty of scope while getting the punters moist.
I think that’s the answer to Rabz’s genre problem. Music from places and times. But maybe let’s not start with Hay Truck stop!
All men have been “trapped in a woman’s body”. Every. Single. One.
And then they are born.
I’m with management on that issue. If you give your content away for free — as do Fairfax and the Guardian, for example — it’s because it’s essentially worthless.
Paywalls are a fact of life in journalism.
Bolt is a much better writer than he is a broadcaster. Blair, in my opinion, is Australia’s best journalist.
I really miss Blair’s writing and I see very little of it nowadays.
Unfortunately, a paywall is the best way of preserving the value of his work.
I’m having trouble monetising my content too.
Lathe of the week!

Of course not.
I’m not sure when the next State election is, but IIRC, isn’t it Queensland in 18 months? Happy to be corrected.
That’s an awful long time for a government flushed with success and not having any brakes with a High Court full of Labor appointees/supporters who have shown they’re activists.
Not looking good.
Off the pace.
That soft canbra look
The relative rarity of male to female transgenderism strongl;y suggests there is no such deap seated desire in male psychology.
Let’s not over-think this. It’s a behaviour that has existed on the fringes of society that the prog-left is now attempting to mainstream for their own purposes.

Bolt is a much better writer than he is a broadcaster.
His old columns in the Hun were almost universally good. As a TV presenter, he should stick to writing newspaper columns.

He is not as accessible these days, but what I see is excellent.

As of Bolta, yes his broadcasting fits that sorry description. I remember losing my fanboi-ishness with the way his ‘pics of white-looking aborigines in Aboriginal public sector jobs’ and ‘Hansen art is pedo-porn’ campaigns dragged from cheap gotcha into peurility.
A grown-up perspective on those issues would have earned a little more self-respect for us partizans.
Still, Frightbat of the Year was a triumph and there was nothing grown-up about that.
Male envy of females is rare because of the power equation involved, Roger, and also because in modern societies, unlike in more primitive societies, an elemental powerlessness in the face of female functioning can be socially expressed in many other forms of competitive organisation, from sports to corporate life to achievements everywhere; men are valued workers and contributors and there is a long history of keeping women powerless – until today’s freedoms, which make being female (with much feminine display and adornment) a more attractive than in the past. All of the above points are in contrast to the place such elemental envy holds in the pre-literate world. Until recently as you say we saw transgenderism appearing only on the fringes of our world – until its extensive current break out, which comes too with a huge psychological force of anger – which is what has shocked us women, as Lulz has highlighted.
Recognising that anger, and perhaps some of the psychology underlying it, is not over-thinking.
While evolutionary explanations of human social behaviour have had a bad history, evolutionary biologists today are clawing back some of the territory, as the xx and xy DNAs reveal their true colours.

GrayZone have a rather interesting piece on the Russia is ‘abducting children war crime’ claim.
So true, Calli. The mystery of birth. It is interesting to imagine how that must have felt in the conditions of early human social evolution. Let alone sexual congress and its seemingly inexplicable relationship to conception with birth being the tangible result many moons later. All the stuff of quite a lot of good anthropological theorising, about things like the construction of lineage and clans, the incest taboo, the ‘father’ deity revealed in the seasonal patterns of the sky, and in food production, the ‘mother’ earth bringing forth her bounty. The land and the sky all the same ‘dreamtime’ or coterminous ‘otherworld’, an eternal world of mythic creation. Come the Neolithic and strong deities for both male and female phenomena existed.

Sorry, I realise I was not actually needing an answer from the gathered menagerie, as I also have cynical suspicions about it, but in hindsight yes it is a worthwhile question to ask.
Emperor Albotine ought to be put on the spot with this question just so that his distraction squirrel answer vindicates our cynicism.
Chances of MSM doing this? Zero.
Chances of non-MSM getting a mic anywhere near Elbow? Zero.
Chances of the Federal Opposition doing this? Even as recently as yesterday it was looking abysmal(via The New Daily):
Emperor Albotine is probably correct about Dutton, although one possible advantage about the ugly potato dragging out this faux-curiosity is that this makes more time for the hoi polloi to have water cooler conversations about the issue and form doubts themselves before Dutton ventures a position. We know from history it is often hazardous to be right too soon. Perhaps he’s waiting for more people to come to their senses instead of trying to lead the argument.
I don’t know how majority of the people will get their voice funnelled into the party room, not by a rigged Newspoll, and the last time Roy Morgan touched the issue was 20 December. The referendum may be the only chance. If the people are going to get a referendum on it anyway, it isn’t necessary for him to push a debate too hard at the moment as it only risks his position unnecessarily. Maybe that is the thinking behind the apparent dawdling.
The 21st century West’s wannabe communist revolutionaries are wealthy upper-middle class, severely diseducated millenial buffoons who are so functionally useless they’d have trouble changing a tyre.

Let’s not over-think this.
Inclined to agree, Roger. Easy to see why women (at least in past generations) envy men’s freedom to move freely in most circumstances. Whilst I understand women’s movements to “reclaim the night” – it has always been a brainless expectation, ignorant of biology and sociology.
On the other hand, some men may envy the warmth of female relationships. But it seems to me that this is a minor impairment, in comparison.
It’s a sad indictment on western manufacturing that that Myford went broke. It was (at least a couple of years ago) to buy ML&s and ML10s built from parts that were bought in stocks when they went under, though at exorbitant prices!

In this Ancient Roman CCTV security image, the Chinese computer vision algorithm has correctly circled in yellow the face of one likely troublemaker in a crowd, allowing economic management of rebellion risk by the Judea regional Legate.
Its pretty hard to indict western manufacturing, when the machines they made were basically a finished sale that removed the customer from the market for his life and the lives of their next two generations.
Us dreamers and tyre kickers after our kids grow up, drop twelve months pocket money on some wobbly Shenzhen thingo made of case-hardened mazak, with a spindle hole that can barely fit a fountain pen barrel, and THEN we regret that Myford closed when our Dads were having their turn buying toys.

Andrew Rule from close to a month ago. Fascinating read:
Police and prosecutors and judges and juries mostly get it roughly right. But that’s no comfort for those who suffer when human error, or something worse, taints an investigation or the subsequent court case.
Sure, “stuff-ups” might outnumber conspiracies but the difference hardly matters to the losers in the legal raffle. An honest mistake or a dishonest conspiracy is equally shocking for anyone convicted on dodgy evidence.
Legal history is littered with examples, and not only in cosy cowboy jurisdictions like Western Australia and the Northern Territory, where erratic police and legal standards have thrown up scandals for decades.
Exhibit A: the Chamberlain disgrace. “Territory” police, may be reflecting local political and business interests keen to clear local dingos of menacing tourists, influenced media coverage that turned public opinion against Lindy and Michael Chamberlain when their new baby Azaria vanished from their tent at Uluru in August, 1980.
Evidence that a scavenging dingo took Azaria was strong and totally logical. But that didn’t stop a boofhead detective from spreading ignorance by getting a bucket holding a baby’s weight (4.5kg) and showing he couldn’t carry it with his mouth for more than a minute, thereby “proving” a dingo couldn’t carry a baby any distance.
The stupidity of comparing a human mouth’s inability to carry such a weight with a dingo’s massively strong jaw went unchallenged by the policeman’s superiors, even though actual dingo experts would later testify to an apparently deaf jury that dingos routinely carry big weights with ease.
A case of dumb and dumber. Then dumbest.
The unequal relationship between influential police and a young and gullible forensic officer, Joy Kuhl, might explain the baffling fact that she misidentified sound-deadening paint on the Chamberlain’s car as “foetal blood.”
Although Kuhl’s nonsense theory would eventually be exposed by real scientists, it was enough to get Lindy Chamberlain locked up until the random discovery of Azaria’s jacket near a dingo den three years later. That got the case reopened, eventually leading to the wronged woman’s release after an eight year ordeal.
Interestingly, Territory police landed another unlikely (and timely) forensic coup 21 years later, when investigating the disappearance and presumed murder of English tourist Peter Falconio. The case against the man convicted of Falconio’s murder, Bradley Murdoch, relied heavily on a tiny blood speck apparently found on the shirt of the missing man’s girlfriend, Joanne Lees. Lucky, that.
The Chamberlain case was world-famous, thanks to the dingo. But other miscarriages of justice were no less outrageous. Such as the wrongful convictions of Daryl Beamish, John Button and Andrew Mallard, each man framed for a murder he didn’t do.
It still happens. Mine worker Scott Austic was recently released after 12 years, when authorities tacitly conceded he’d been blatantly “fitted up” in 2009.
The flipside of lazy policing in the west is that it allowed the shotgun death of Amy Wensley in a farmhouse in 2014 to be written off as a suicide, with the risk of it being a homicide being discounted without proper investigation.
Amy, who was right-handed, was found sitting on her right hand with the heavy gun a metre away. And she just happened to have her clothes, passport and two children packed ready to flee to her mother’s place minutes before she was shot.
Bagging Perth police is easy. These are the Keystone Cops who drove innocent public servant Lance Williams to a premature death with aggressive surveillance — and by briefing the media that he was the prime suspect as the Claremont serial killer.
In fact, of course, the actual Claremont killer of three young women was a man the police missed for 20 years, a quiet Telstra technician named Bradley Robert Edwards, finally arrested in 2016 after poor Williams’ life was ruined.
Closer to home, in South Australia, a charmed circle of well-connected sexual deviates got away with committing “the Family” murders while a totally unqualified chief forensic pathologist screwed up case after case for close to 40 years.
Dr Colin Manock gave erratic “expert” evidence that led to 400 convictions and performed thousands of autopsies he wasn’t qualified to do. Manock’s critics suggest he survived because he was “on side” with police, even if that meant drawing convenient conclusions that ignored inconvenient facts.
Victorians like to think that when it comes to police and legal corruption, jurisdictions north of the Murray are banana republics run on bribery and blackmail.
The fact that Sydney and Brisbane were so “hot” for so long doesn’t let Victorian law enforcement off the hook. The list of dodgy investigations and trials in Victoria is nothing to be proud of.
In 1922, Victoria hanged Colin Campbell Ross on confected evidence that he raped and murdered a 12-year-old schoolgirl, Alma Tirtschke.
Ross, a young publican disinclined to bribe bent police, was disliked by a notorious brothel keeper, Madame Brussels, whose nearby establishment was well-known to senior police and politicians.
The theory goes that Madame Brussels and corrupt police organised false witnesses to convict Ross and then pocketed the lion’s share of the reward posted to solve the terrible crime.
It wasn’t until amateur sleuth Kevin Morgan uncovered a forgotten sample of Alma’s hair among old legal documents in the 1990s that modern forensic science cleared Ross. He had been convicted and executed within weeks mainly on the false premise that hairs found on a blanket he owned were Alma’s. In fact, it was dog hair.
Another innocent young man could easily have been hanged after being repeatedly accused of a double murder at Shepparton in early 1966.
This was the abduction murder of teenagers Abina Madill and Gary Heywood. By the time the bodies were found 16 days later, “bash artist” detective Peter Parkinson had made Abina Madill’s sometime boyfriend, apprentice mechanic Ian Urquhart, the prime suspect.
Persistent police persecution of Urquhart over months forced him to leave Shepparton to work on oil rigs. If he hadn’t had the guts to withstand being beaten and abused, he could easily have signed a “confession” that would have been his death warrant.
The then longtime Premier Sir Henry Bolte was preparing for the 1967 election and boasted a hanging would win it for him. He was right.
Ronald Ryan and Peter Walker had escaped from Pentridge just before the Shepparton murders; Ryan’s shooting of a prison officer made him ideal for a politically-useful execution. But if Urquhart had been forced into a false confession of rape and double murder, he might have swung too — a Bolte bonus.
As it stood, some detectives blamed Urquhart until 1982, when a diligent fingerprint expert uncovered the fact that a tiny print secretly lifted from Heywood’s car in 1966 matched an unknown offender, the “Donvale rapist”, who’d raped dozens of women in the eastern suburbs in the 1970s.
Urquhart was finally exonerated — too late, as he’d died in a car crash. It would take three more years before fingerprints finally nailed the real killer: Raymond “Mr Stinky” Edmunds.
There are plenty more stories of stuff-ups and the odd conspiracy.
Such as the abduction and murder of Elisabeth Membrey at Ringwood in 1994: to date, police are on their third “prime suspect” after being mighty sure about the previous two.
Then there’s the Russell John Gesah debacle. In 2008, prisoner Gesah was charged on DNA “evidence” with an unsolved 1984 rape and double murder. Sadly, it was a laboratory bungle. Even more sadly, it wasn’t the only one.
Teenager Farah Jama was convicted on false DNA evidence in 2006 and wrongly imprisoned for three years for a “rape” he didn’t do and which probably didn’t happen at all.
Police (and media) pursued innocent CFA volunteer Ron Philpott for two years over the fatal Murrindindi “Black Saturday” fire of 2009 before finally conceding the real culprit was faulty power lines, a conclusion that authorities and vested corporate interests found unpalatable.
Then there’s the one that got away. Farmer’s wife Kaye King was found upside down in a farm waste sump near Shepparton in 1991. Local cops persuaded homicide detectives there was “nothing to see here”. When a pathologist discreetly pointed out bruises on the victim’s neck that looked like thumb prints, a detective snapped: “We’re not the Almost-Homicide squad.”
These cautionary tales go on and on. Perhaps police and justice ministers nationwide should commission a documentary film, a sort of dirty dozen of dumb police work, and ensure it’s shown to every recruit and detective training intake. And every new magistrate and prosecutor. And young reporters.
Why? Because those who ignore history are condemned to repeat it.
Ha! Dover has found some extra disciples! They aren’t all there, of course, but I think you can pick John, Peter and Andrew. And, of course, Judas.

So, with DeSantis on board and refusing to abide by any extradition of Trump to NY, the issue is if Trump does hand himself in in NY will these demorats abide by any agreement not to handcuff etc and put Trump in prison with out bail.
They might run into Secret Service objections to these actions, and particularly to a “perp walk”. Safety of a former President and all that.
what in the universe could you, or anybody for that mater
possibly know about what was bouncing around in the skull of an early hominid?
full of crap with you half-baked post-hoc gibberish
I wager one thing though
even back then the males would have grunted among themselves while hunting
troglodyte 1: my woman .grunt. bit mental.grunt. make up stupid shit in head all time. grunt.
troglodyte 2: .grunt. mine too.
troglodyte 3: .grunt. LoL. they all sisters mate .grunt.
And as requested by Mrs Stencho Pantyhose, the Doubting Tom Arse………………………Some more Armstrong.
Trump & Likely Gag Order to Create Imprisonment
“Trump will now find himself silenced and whatever Free Speech he once had, will now be stripped away from him like the rest of his constitutional and human rights. We are about to witness just how corrupt our legal system truly is. This is George Soros’s puppet. Alan Bragg will now show the entire world that in the United States, there is no such thing as constitutional or even Human Rights.
Bragg will most likely seek a Gag Order in addition to a denial of bail, which no matter how ruthless the judge, will probably realize he cannot deny bail to a former President. Still, they will most likely put a Gag Order on Trump, and that way they can throw him in jail even indefinitely as they did to me using Civil Contempt of Court which is not a crime. If they charge him with Criminal Contempt, then he gets a trial by jury. Under Civil Contempt, you have ZERO rights and no right to a trial.
Because I did an interview in the Japanese press and told all my clients to file suit against the bank, they then put a gag order on me FOR LIFE to prevent me from providing my own clients with evidence against the bank. Normally, you are supposed to get more time if you do not assist the victims. Law means ABSOLUTELY nothing in court. They do as they like and the Constitution means absolutely nothing.
This is who I believe is a disgusting individual. I have been told he ran for office saying he would indict Trump. Screw NYC. Crime is off the hook. It is no longer a safe city to even go to visit. At the last coin show there, they robbed a dealer and stole his entire inventory when packing up to leave. That’s OK – but for Trump to pay money to a porn star warrants endless taxpayer money to be spent for this guy’s career.
BEWARE Mr, Trump. They kept me in prison on Civil Contempt from 2000 to 2007. I was released ONLY because I got to the Supreme Court and they ordered the government to explain how I could be held for 7 years without anything on statute 28 USC 1826 which had a maximum of 18 months. To avoid having to answer, they suddenly released me.
So forget the payment to a Porn Star.
They can now gag trump, restrict his movements, and harass him to PREVENT him from running in 2024. They will listen to every word he says and are just going to wait to be able to throw him in prison on Civil Contempt indefinitely with ZERO Constitutional Rights. Welcome to the REAL America. They call it a “protective order” to protect the Government and Bragg as you are stripped of ALL your First Amendment rights.”

Wow!
And yet, the only people considered a threat to your children are…Catholic priests.
Apart from the sliver of time spent with alter boys, priests’ time is filled with things like saying Mass, visiting the old and sick, administering rights to the dying, counselling the distressed, the desperate, the addicted, and the bereaved.
All this and more. On call all day every day.
If you want to fondle boys this job does not really offer much.
Now, teaching on the other hand…
But we mustn’t look there. Not, I think, because they won’t find anything (hell of a vindication if that were the case) but because of how much they would.

There is absolutely nothing at all wrong with my initial premise, Roger. It is well substantiated by the evidence of many early human societies and of behaviours and social structures of many pre-literate societies that lasted into the contemporary period for anthropological study. The flow-on arguments about the development of differentiated male and female psychologies and capacities is supported by various ethnobiologists and genetic evolutionists and any non-woke parent of girls and boys. While some speculations can be overdrawn when they are applied to modern complex societies, there is much to consider about how our natures as men and women have been biologically shaped; we are not tabula rasa male or female, ready for culture to have its way with us. xx and xy, as I said, is a very meaningful differentiation. Biological anomalies such as xxy or intersex are just that; mistakes in two-sex cellular reproduction.
Lulz introduced an observation about male transgender anger towards born females and what wondered what psychologically may underwrite it.

I’ve never understood why they made lathes with four adjustment thingies. Why not 3? It’s more intuitive and easier. Like a surveyors theodolite.

Seriously but, I’ve been fascinated by this shape as a structural component for a space station for years ever since I saw this picture.

It’s a sad indictment on western manufacturing that that Myford went broke. It was (at least a couple of years ago) to buy ML&s and ML10s built from parts that were bought in stocks when they went under, though at exorbitant prices!
They seem to have been re-constituted in Halifax (sadly not Nottingham) and are manufacturing and refurbishing again, at exhorbitant prices!
Their demise may not have been entirely due to industry conditions. I know a clock maker from OZ who went there to buy one of their cylindrical grinders.

Europe Close to Deciding on Peacekeeping Troops in Ukraine—Viktor Orbán
Interesting read from Black Ball (4.36pm above).
I have just finished reading the biography of Victorian police detective Ron Iddles – The Good Cop.
While the biography concentrates on Iddles’ successful investigations, and he is obviously reluctant to name and shame any of his bent colleagues, there is definite undercurrent of many detectives forming an opinion and then shaping the evidence to fit their theory.
The book contains a couple of examples of wrongful arrests and imprisonment, and to Iddles credit, he worked long and hard to right these wrongful convictions.
Alas, good cops like Iddles are few and far between it seems, and the public opinion of police in general has never been lower following the Covid lockdown enforcement fiascoes.
Trust, once lost is very difficult to regain.
Something I’ve mentioned here before but probably worth repeating again:
In 1972, heavily pregnant, I stood up at an academic conference full of the New Left and many feminists and argued that there were significant differences between men and women and that these were sometimes due to our different biological natures. Feminism, I argued, should take account of these differences, embrace them, and work for a society and polity that could allow women to make choices that recognise these differences as well as striving for legal equalities of opportunity.
No, no, no, no, no. I was roundly howled down, by both men and women on the panel. Pregnancy? Pfft. Only a short term thing. Children? Pfft. Childcare. Breastfeeding? Pfft. Chimeric; use a bottle.
There is no difference at all between men and women, concluded the female panel leader, to general agreement. I sat down. I needed to as my bladder was full as the baby pressed down.
Some young women afterwards kindly helped me to the toilets and said they were interested in what I had to say and asked for some references. Then, walking through the Quad at Sydney Uni twenty years ago I was recognised still, and stopped by a leading male member of that cabal, who apologised to me, saying he’d always admired me for my stand, which he had since come to agree with.
The ‘no difference’ crowd have now come to the point of cheering on men who decide to be women.
Easy as popping on frock and some lippy, it seems. And they cheer on those, predominantly males, who would have beaten me up, pregnant and all, if I’d been at Posie Parker’s rally in NZ.
I can’t imagine much caveman philosophising beyond the next meal and the next free exchange of ideas with whatever was available.
Not as if we don’t have current day stone age cultures to give us a little insight.
Except for the “make the men do bottom stuff”.

Just got back from a family lunch at my mother’s. My mother lives in a salubrious block in Sydney inner-city and she has a lot of gay neighbours. My mother has always liked gay men, and they have always liked her, because she’s strong, forthright and opinionated. I suppose her two strongly opinionated daughters take after her!
Anyway, my brother’s son is here from the UK and he sat today and listened attentively as his “far-right” grandmother and his “far-right” aunts held court and opined on a number of issues, from climate change to transgenderism to Donald Trump. Everything he heard today would have been in complete contrast to what he hears from his mother and father. He sat very engrossed and then we got on to the subject of transgenderism. I asked my young nephew if he thinks it’s okay for a white person to put on black face, and he said, no, of course it isn’t appropriate. I then asked him why then is it okay for a male to put on woman face, to ridicule and to parody women. I could see him thinking and he said…”you’re right, it isn’t appropriate”. I hope he’s learnt something, I think he did.
But back to gayville. Last Saturday afternoon my mother told me how in the morning, in the garden of the block, she ran into a neighbour who lives a few floors up. This neighbour is gay, he’d been a vocal campaigner for SSM and he’s one of Clover’s very loyal and very gay praetorian guard. Back in 2017 he was shocked when my mother had told him she wasn’t voting for SSM, because she believes marriage is between a man and a woman. Of course, this gay man couldn’t understand that there were people out there, including people living in the same block as him, who didn’t think like him. Anyway, last Saturday, being NSW election day, my mother had been walking to the building entrance and he stopped her, and started verbally abusing her, calling her “far-right” and “fringe”. How did my mother respond? She told him to “F*CK OFF”, to which he got a fright and moved away quickly, like a mouse.
Anyway, my darling mother said that on Tuesday she arrived home and under the door was a card, she opened it and it was an apology from the gay man who’d abused her. I saw the card today, and he’d written in the card how truly sorry he was.
Some lessens here….
1. Don’t mess with my mother.
2. Don’t mess with my sister.
3. Don’t mess with me.
4. When the left abuse, throw it back.

Makes the old blood boil. Also calls to mind a literate feminist novel of about 20 years ago, where our troubled feminist researcher stood up at a conference and the room filled with hissing.
Because her hair was blonde.
Back when our kids were born there was a stupid feminist fashion for holding ‘war toy buybacks’ at the local library (Subiaco, 5km from UWA). And claims that boys were trained to be boys by refusing to let them have dolls and insisting they play with trucks. I mentioned this to some Women’s Studies grad I met about 2012, along with having myself conducted the experiment of actually raising children to adulthood. Observation: children, babies included, train their parents to give them what they want. We are in no doubt what that is, even if we don’t always comply.
She said she was sorry that I was so brainwashed.

On donkeys, there are donkey sanctuaries in the UK where unwanted donkeys can go to live out their lives in peace.
Sadly, they are the lucky ones. Worldwide and over the ages, donkeys have been the classic beast of burden, and so often hurt and abused. To my shame, I rode a donkey up the steep cliffs at Santorini with a group of Australian backpackers who encouraged me to it. Half way up I felt terrible as this poor beast struggled up the path. I will never do such a thing again.
And me who read Pinocchio as a child and was so upset at the poor sad donkeys in it.

Further to the NSW election, it was close. It wasn’t a landslide to Labor and most of the electorates they won, they won narrowly. So, no massive victory for Labor however I wish they did have majority government because I don’t want them doing any deals with that evil slime Alex Greenfilth.

I hope you got it right, Matrix. My context was that our genetics as male and female ensured we were NOT a blank slate on which culture could write whatever any lunatic, such as those of the left, might decide we should be. In this sense, men and women are not tabula rasa.
I’m not quite sure why you ‘backspaced’ over anything you wrote.
We are definitely in agreement regarding your last sentence. It’s what I’ve been arguing.

I think that ‘o’ on the upticks comes from when someone is the first to comment and then decides to take that uptick back. The counter reverts to a ‘o’. When someone else upticks, it goes to a one, and after that goes up for each uptick.
Someone who wants to be nasty could uptick disliked comments as a first-comer and then take it back, producing the ‘o’. Which then stands if no-one else upticks the comment.
Further to Greenfilth and Latham, this from the Telegraph. Oh and I note that singularly untalented lightweight and flimsy female Erin Molan, the same female who turns up at her father’s funeral in a strapless dress, who’s recently “married herself”, and who is always in the media yet complains about “unwarranted attention”, has joined in the pile on of Latham.
Mark Latham doubles down after outcry over his homophobic tweet
A defiant Mark Latham has returned to Twitter to decry “alphabet ideology” after breaking his silence about a homophobic slur he tweeted, and then deleted, about a Sydney gay MP. Read his response.
A defiant Mark Latham on Saturday doubled down on his decision to tweet a homophobic slur about fellow MP Alex Greenwich — declaring “boo hoo” — before later taking to Twitter to slam “alphabet ideology” and woke” media.
The controversial NSW One Nation MP stood by his original Twitter post, saying that insults can often “come back at you harder and truer”.
Mr Latham made the original Twitter post on Thursday in response to reports about a violent protest outside a church he had spoken at during the NSW election campaign.
It came after a comment by independent MP Alex Greenwich branding Mr Latham a “disgusting human being” who posed a risk to NSW.
Mr Latham’s explicit tweet — which remained online for about three hours before it was deleted — prompted One Nation boss Pauline Hanson to demand he apologise.
Labor’s Upper House leader Penny Sharpe also condemned the tweet, saying she was “physically sickened” by it, and Equity Australia labelled them as “disgusting comments unbecoming of a member of parliament” which should be retracted.
Mark Latham remained silent on Friday, except for a tweet about former US president Donald Trump which said “never apologise, never explain” and was quickly deleted.
On Saturday, in a statement to The Saturday Telegraph, he said: “Sometimes in public life when you throw out insults they come back at you harder and truer … So boo-hoo Alex Greenwich.”
“When he calls someone a disgusting human being for attending a meeting in a church hall, maybe attention will turn to some of his habits.”
As for why he deleted the post, Mr Latham said: “Greenwich goes into schools talking to kids about being gay.
“I didn’t want to be accused of anything similar, leaving that kind of content on my socials.”
On Saturday morning, in response to the latest comments, Mr Greenwich said it was clear Mr Latham was unfit for office.
“@Mr Latham is clearly unfit for office and I hope he gets the help he needs,” he said
“I’m sure the public and a majority of my parliamentary colleagues share this opinion, especially following his vile homophobic and sexualised attacks at me, his transphobic views and the violence directed at the LGBTQ community at the Belfield rally.
What rally at Belfield? Perverts turned up outside the church in Belfield to protest, they blocked the road, they deliberately vandalised a crucifix and then they got scared when some real men turned up to deal with them.
You want to know who’s disgusting? It isn’t Mark Latham, he’s actually spoken the truth, it’s that sinister creep Alex Greenwich.

Fascinating read indeed.
When the government brought in a Law that allowed police to read, add to, or delete a citizens internet wafflings, I immediately condemned it as the paedophiles defence stay out of gaol free card.
Why?
Because any person who is caught with compromising photos can claim police planted it.
When far-left perverts turning up at a church, vandalise a crucifix and block a road, they describe it sweetly as a “rally”.
When women such as myself attend a gathering in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Hobart and Auckland, so that we can stand up and speak about being “women”, they call us far-right, Nazi, white supremacist “protesters”.
A women’s rally is a nasty protest, a far-left violent protest is a rally, war is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength, night is day, up is down, black is white.
I think we’ve woken up to the nightmare.

Funny that – I’d decided to buy a yacht and went through the rigmarole with the yacht seller. Went to hand over the cheque – and I’d driven from Coffs Harbour to Sydney for the day – Made the appointment and the bloke, rather belligerently told me to wait an hour as he was ‘busy’. I waited the hour – fuming was I – and he called to say he’d be there in an hours time.
I walked out, telling the receptionist why, and was on the road back to Coffs when I got a call from the agent I was working through…
I quite like the live and let live approach as found in Samoa – you see it, you don’t comment, and no-one whacks a dick in your face in the ladies’ loo. Definitely not taught in schools, or applies in sports.
Hairy pointed out to me that our nice male waiter was part of the ladies’ chorus in the hotel’s show. I hadn’t even noticed. No fuss made, it was just what he did. Female when he felt like it. In a show and hotel run by a staunchly fundamentalist Christian community, who accepted this cross-dressing as part of traditional life. He and no-one else ever claimed that he was a woman.
