Yep. At the moment it’s via lethal injection but that’s being litigated.

The Daily Wire is on fire (12 May, via Instapundit)

David Richardson is gay, but the wrong KIND of gay man. He is fixated on biology and science, and that is simply unforgivable.

California community college is investigating a tenured history professor for the “serious misconduct” of handing out chocolate, he claims.
…
The Daily Wire started selling the chocolate as a fun tease of Hershey’s, which used a transgender “woman” to celebrate International Woman’s Day by introducing Her She’s chocolate bars. The Daily Wire immediately shot back at the absurdity by releasing “Jeremy’s Chocolate,” with two flavors: SheHer bars, and HeHim bars, which have nuts.

RTWT. I’d heard about the gay professor being suspended for transphobia after handing out chocolate bars, but I hadn’t seen the full story. Trolling Hershey’s for a Bud Lite style fiasco is most excellent. Well done sir! I hope you get your job back, if you still want it.

(The Jeremy’s Razors commercial embedded in the story is a thing of beauty too!)

“To improve health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people we must overcome barriers to medicines access and ensure the delivery of culturally appropriate care,” Harris said in a statement (pdf) on May 11.

Pfizer should feel free to deploy mobile teams of doctors and pharmacists to indigenous outback “communities”, at their own expense, to “overcome [the] barriers”. Consider it a contribution to the noble cause.

By the White House’s own admission Joe Biden is only in the Oval office between the hours of 10:00am and 4:00pm, and sometimes not even that.

He has spent 331 days of his presidency – 40% of it in total – on vacation.

But, but, but, Trump played more golf!

According to Rukshan, the anti-racist supporters were Antifa and Socialist Left – the same a/holes who interrupted the Keen Rally in support of women’s rights.

“The alleged actions of Joe Biden may rise to the level of an impeachable offense.”
They are already at that point – what it now takes is the political will to impeach the old thief.

The problem is that there are too many Republicans on the take to enforce the Impeachment.
Perhaps it would take the Don to force the vote and make the ALL the crooked politicians either turn on Biden, or stand by him. Because if there’s one thing President Trump does, is make people take sides and expose themselves.

This neo-nazi thing is very weird. Who are these people? What are they actually saying?
It’s a puzzle. I don’t know which side to despise.

Whom are these people? Almost certainly Glowies.

What are they actually saying? “Don’t cross the fascist left, stick to the approved narratives. Or else!”

I haven’t seen the footage, so might be incorrect with this, but it’s interesting that in Black Ball’s article above about the Melb CBD clash, it states that Avi was ‘bonked’ on the head, but others were assaulted. Note the use of language: ‘bonked.’ While in reality (see my opening sentence) it may have been a minor incident, ‘bonked’ carries a less serious, unintentional, almost humorous connotation in comparison to ‘assaulted.’

Note also the adjective ‘controversial’ attached to Avi. I’m guessing that at least some of the ‘anti racism’ posse may have been experienced campaigners, but we’re any of them identified by name & similarly described as ‘controversial’?

I actually thought BB was taking the piss and it was a spoof at first. You can’t believe at first that anyone could write such sludge and then get it published.

The mRNA vaccines were in part pinned on a scientific truth that wasn’t. In 2021 it was found that RNA templated DNA repair can occur, it was thought this was not possible, it was only ever written from DNA to RNA.

I have posted the paper a few times that shows this, here it is.

The major factor in civilisational growth is the cost and availability of energy.
Raise the C&A of energy, growth slows then stops.
Lower it and watch the civilisation grow.
It’s a fact that may as will be a rule of nature.
Ask yourselves this question:
Would Australia grow or shrink its economy with power at 4c a kW/hr and fuel at 40c a litre?
Would Australia grow or shrink its economy with power at 40c a kW/hr and fuel at 400 c a litre?
(Just looking at my last bill because I wanted to make sure I got the killerwhats thing right. Power at this time last year = 8.48 kW/h. This year = 13.43 kW/hr)
Faaaark! That’s nearly double!

The making light of the assault on Avi reminds me of the assault on Silvio Belesconi and how the Australian made light of that.

President Trump Rolls Out Three Letter T-Shirt Trolling CNN After He Dominated Town Hall (13 May)

President Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign for the White House is rolling out a victory celebration of sorts after epic domination of CNN at their town hall on Wednesday. Trump fans will be able to purchase a t-shirt commemorating his perforation and troll the liberal “news” network in the process. Here is the announcement from Team Trump:President Trump’s CNN town hall was so masterful that many are now saying CNN should be renamed TNN – the Trump News Network.

Here’s the t-shirt.

Horrible, spoilt, entitled people with zero accomplishments.

The help and reference material are provided by the parents when the kid gets interested

Yeah but they claim their kid literally taught himself with no help, next week he’s going to teach himself partial differential equations?

Well that’s what I blew up about, I’m a sucker and I took the bait. That article showcased incredibly lazy parents. If your kid rides their bike on their own, don’t you want them to be able to read road signs and instructions for how to repair their bike tyres?

Actually the worst of that article isn’t that the parents are lazy, but it is the reflexive idea that if you don’t rely on public education, you won’t be a “productive member of society”.

Most of the net tax recipients were publicly schooled; if I’m not a “productive member of society” but do not rely on welfare or charity, who cares; and the notion that public schooling isn’t damaging or that unschooling cannot be good (it usually is) is simply false.

These articles are wheeled out every so often when homeschooling and unschooling gets popular.

Most boys would rather do a cadetship or apprenticeship than go to school. They’re nurseries for teenage girls, who then can go on to be the next generation of English teachers and social welfare officers.

Probably the clearest footage I’ve seen of the enormous hit this morning in Khmelnytsky.

It’s also funny that not sending your kids to a taxpayer funded public school is considered a burden to society.

Do these people realise how expensive the compulsory schooling industrial complex is?

Well that was fun. A very satisfactory morning tea put on by my brother for two very elderly ladies and me. All home made goodies, all delicious. A perfect Mother’s Day spread.

We are so blessed to have our mothers still with us and every year is more precious than the one before.

In view of what many more deserving people have gone through/are going through thanks to Covid policies and housing shortages, my sympathy rates at approximately zero.

On another note, here is an excellent article about Chuck the Third:

His 2010 book, Harmony: A New Way of Looking at Our World, co-written with Ian Skelly and Tony Juniper, is a much longer, much more tedious excursus on the same theme. In societies still governed by Tradition, claims Charles, humanity lived in harmony with nature. The natural world was a source of sacred authority, a manifestation of divinity. Man was at home in the world. But that period of harmony, of living in the truth, came to an end with the Enlightenment. It liberated individuals from ‘submission to the authority of the Divine’, and freed up humanity to know nature objectively (as an ‘it’ rather than a ‘she’, writes Charles), as something to be used rather than deferred to. ‘Humanity came to be seen as having the right – a human right, that is – to explore, manipulate and exploit every element of the natural world for the betterment of mankind.’ He writes that as if it’s a bad thing.

For Charles, much like his Traditionalist muses, those twin fundamentals of modernity – the growth of individual autonomy and our increasing mastery of nature – are seen as the cause of our coming downfall. It has led to a ‘rationalistic’, ‘mechanistic’ mode of being and thinking – Charles’s equivalent to Guénon’s ‘modern mentality’ – in which everything is to be judged according to humanity’s own ends. ‘Four centuries of increasingly being dependent upon a very narrow form of scientific rationalism’, writes Charles, ‘[have] led us along a new but dangerously unknown road… a dance that has been so merry that we failed to notice how far we were being taken from our rightful home’.

Worth a read, because it charts Chuck’s journey from youthful naive environmentalist through the metaphysical pathways to Traditionalism.

You don’t have to agree with Traditionalism to agree with some of its conclusions, such as those about the ugliness of a lot of modern architecture and art.

But that is not the same as swallowing the whole thing, hook, line and sinker.

I think the answer is yes.

Returning to the gang culture analogy I’ve been harping about recently: They were protecting their ‘own’ and ONLY thier own, females; those who passed the tests required for gang membership & had demonstrated their allegiance to the gang’s culture & internal rules: the insiders. Females who were NOT gang members, were & still are, ‘fair game.’

That’s as accurate a description of the Left policy about women as you’ll ever get.

Humanity has never lived in harmony with nature. More accurately described as an arms race.

Close, but you left out the bit about what happens to women who stray (or are thought to stray) off the reservation. The list of potential infractions would make an observant Muslim nod in approval.

I love this quote of Giovannino Guareschi so perfect at the time he wrote as it is now

“Oggi, si dà più credito alla parola di un farabutto anonimo che a quella di un uomo che ha lavorato onestamente tutta la vita.”

? Giovannino Guareschi, Baffo racconta

In Inglese:

Today more gravitas is given to the word of an anonymous scoundrel (cue George Floyd, Jordan Neely) than to that of a man who’s worked honestly for all of his life.

“Oggi, si dà più credito alla parola di un farabutto anonimo che a quella di un uomo che ha lavorato onestamente tutta la vita.”

Another Brendan O’Neill special, this time about attacks on the car:

It is hard to describe to people who have grown up in the era of Amazon, Deliveroo and near-universal car ownership just how much time women would spend traipsing to shops. The number of woman-hours lost to filling the larder – yes, it was mainly woman-hours back then – was extraordinary. I remember it (kids were always in tow, for where else would we be?): first to the fishmonger, then the butcher’s, then the greengrocer’s, then the bakers, lugging your acquisitions in bulging bags as you went. Saturdays were almost entirely given over to shopping, on the high street a couple of miles away. But then came the supermarket, and the Cortina, and everything changed, utterly. My mother gained a whole new day of the week. She finally had Saturday.

It hit a chord with me. I vividly remember my mother having to trek to the shops on foot, they were about 1.5km away, with two small children, one of whom (me) would bolt at random intervals.

Then she would have to schlep back with a huge load of groceries, including in Sydney summers. No doubt there were worse places, but let me tell you, a sultry Sydney summer day with two cranky kids and a big load of groceries is not somewhere that you want to be.

Like Brendan’s mum, getting a car changed her life, very much for the better.

The worst of the seven is the sin of hubristic pride, of which Malcolm Turnbull is the poster boy.

Forgive me for my pedantry, Tinta, but I believe that hubristic pride is what is holding conservatives back. Yes, Turnbull was a shocker, but by playing pointy-finger, we avoid mirrors.

I don’t believe it is cowardice or a lack of intellectual ability that sees conservatives in a permanent, slow-shuffling, downward-looking posture. It is pride; or rather, a mixture of pride and embarrassment.

This is why we remain nostalgically pining over photographs of ourselves in our youth, rather than cleaning the bathroom mirror, switching on the light, and spending time to discern what we can truly see.

There are exceptions, of course, but broadly, I see conservatives as still living in the 80s. Not conservatism, but conservatives themselves. We haven’t caught up with the new communications technologies and how they have irrevocably changed the political landscape.

I realise I’ve written that multiple times recently, but at the risk of no longer receiving party invites, I think it worth emphasizing. We CAN do something about the situation – we have the capacity – but we choose not to. The dusty old blanket of nostalgia is far more comforting than the ‘new-fangled novelties.’

Vet registration in WA is $465- that’s a sudden hundred buck jump from last year’s suspiciously cute figure of $365.

Clearly a Marxist Labor psyop. There is no doubt Australia is in terminal decline.

They always remind me of new-hatched chicks with their beaks always open:

Renewable startups are urging state and federal governments to take greater risks by investing in small-to-medium sized renewable battery companies and prevent Australia missing out on the lithium boom.
Key points:

Stakeholders say it could be cheaper to make batteries in Australian than in the EU, Korea or Japan
It says Australia has 96 per cent of the raw materials used in lithium batteries
The electrification of the Australian Defence Force has fuelled demand for sovereign-made batteries

A recent report by consulting firm the McKinsey Global Institute estimated that surging demand for lithium-ion batteries would see the sector grow from $126 billion to almost $600 billion by the end of the decade.

The federal government in February began consultation on its National Battery Framework Issues paper to help develop a roadmap for investing in Australia’s fledgling battery manufacturing industry.

In its submission, Sicona Battery Technologies (SBT) identified obstacles to creating a domestic manufacturing industry.

It said that while Australia possessed the relevant resources and technical expertise, its “institutions” were taking a “risk-averse approach”.

“Governments (federal and state) should be more willing to take a risk and accept that some of their grant recipients will fail,” the next-generation battery materials company said.

“Invest in everything. We should be proud to invest in competitors and competing technologies.”

Whoopee!

Would they risk their own money? Do they even have anything to risk?

God didn’t mince His words.

I was failed by a St Johns 1st aid instructor because of my “untidy” bandaging. Having successfully saved a man’s life with my battlefield first aid I told the to “go forth and multiply”. Sadly I had to do the course over again. This time I took a full 5 minutes to make sure that the bandage was “perfect”. The fact that the patient would have probably died in that time made no difference.

They are not stupid and know that they will never be profitable but they do know how to convince our politicians whom they do consider stupid.

NSW Liberal heavyweight Michael Photios has called on the party to modernise, laying part of the blame for the election defeat at internal factional “hatred” and disputes.

Kristina Photios 3rd degree connection3rd
Founding Director at Business Green Energy, Clean Energy Strategies

Kristina has over 15 years experience in corporate strategy, mergers & acquisitions and corporate finance.

Kristina is the founder of Clean Energy Strategies (CES), which created and led the first aggregate C&I corporate PPA in Australia. Their landmark deal signed over 140GWH of energy load from over 500 pubs in NSW – sourcing their energy from renewable sources and reducing their energy costs.

In 2021, CES has partnered with a developer and operator of green hydrogen production infrastructure, hydrogen fuel cell electric (FCEV) buses and heavy-duty vehicles for lease to operators. This Joint Venture is in process of establishing a trial with a major long-haul transport operator in Australia.

Kristina has established Business Green Energy (BGE) to continue focus on the development of industry-wide aggregated PPAs.

Business Green Energy (BGE) specialises in industry-scale aggregated power purchase agreements (PPA), connecting businesses to renewable energy that would otherwise be too small to access the PPA market on their own together with large corporate customers.

“How to sack a divisional commander: Tewkesbury 4th May, 1471.”

“Lord Wenlock, not having advanced to the support of the first line, but remaining stationary, contrary to the expectations of the Duke of Somerset (1438 – 1471) the latter, in a rage, rode up to him, reviled him,and beat his brains out, with an axe.”

The greatest injustice of the Afghanistan SAS trials is not that they are happening (which is gross enough), but that the senior officers who received medals for “distinguished or conspicuous serrvice” commanding the Task Force were not themselves tried (Isn’t there a Nuremberg principle here?), but did not even have their medals stripped from them.

The Duke of Somerset technique might usefully be applied there.
