Rep. Comer to Newsmax: FBI Doc Alleges Biden as VP Profited From Ukraine Aid (6 Jun)
House Oversight Committee Chair Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., on Newsmax, Tuesday, alleged there is evidence in an FBI document showing Joe Biden, in the last 18 months of his vice presidency, personally profited in his role of doling out foreign aid.
In an interview on “Wake Up America,” Comer said the FBI document pertains to Ukraine.
“This [FBI] 1023 form I got to view yesterday, the oligarch who allegedly bribed Joe Biden when he was vice president said that he would make it almost impossible for anyone to find because they were gonna launder it through a series of banks and a series of shell companies,” Comer said.
Tiniest tippy tip of a very deep and very stinky iceberg, but it’s a start. Now do Bursima, son, and the blackmail job Biden did to get the Ukrainian special prosecutor fired. Then defund the FBI utterly.

As for this mine controversy:
Peak Downs and Moranbah North both probably exceed 20 km; but they’re made up of chains of smaller mines due to watercourses and the lack of paydirt in some sections . Some sections are many kilometres long.
That’s about it. There are other long chains of smaller mines, but they’re nowhere near as contiguous as Peak Downs/Moranbah North.
Two out of a couple of hundred and only technically one “mine” per site office is rare and an exception.
There just isn’t a 20 km long open cut mine here. Show us the Google coordinates otherwise.
I believe that the figure of $400,000 by Ch7 has been established as settled for Folbigg story & this is without the millions forecast for compensation from the public purse. Whatever you believe about the case, when are we going to stop handing out money to those ( eg Noknickers) who have a complaint of suffering ?
Was “open cut” a requirement, or an add on? If you include underground, 20km is half of bugger all.

As you say, that’s not a single pit; it’s mined in a chain of pits, from memory the longest connected part is ~30km.

Australia’s biggest fashion retailers are being threatened with a mandatory levy on garment sales, after many big names failed to sign up to a new scheme to tackle the 200,000 tonnes of old clothes going into landfill every year.
…
In a speech delivered today at the launch of Seamless in Sydney, which had been sent exclusively to the ABC, Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek told tell the rest of the fashion industry it had 12 months to sign up or else face regulation directly.
“That is a drop dead date. No excuses, no extensions,” Ms Plibersek said.
“I will impose a system and I will set the levy.”
…
Seamless is being implemented under the federal product stewardship act, which can see waste-stream management enforced on industries through voluntary, co-regulatory or mandatory schemes.
Other mass-produced items being targeted include batteries, solar panels, baby car seats, mattresses, and e-waste.
Programs so good they have to be legislated and have a levy imposed to fund them…

As to the dam, it sounds to me that the Russians took a leaf out of the Ukie book and blew the dam as a defensive tactic. Recall that the Ukes did exactly that with the water reservoir north of Kiev, and it literally bogged the Russian advance.
Blowing it now would both secure the southern front for months and also allow units to be diverted to the north and east fronts, where the Ukies seem to have been probing in force.
If the Ukies were going to do it for battlefield prep they would have done it in winter, so that the river banks and the swamps would have a chance to dry out in time for the Summer Offensive™. Which I don’t think is particularly real. But Mr Z will be under a lot of pressure from the US and EU neocons to carry out the vaunted offensive, so I think there will be some flagwaving advances before reality exerts itself and he goes back cap in hand saying “if only we had more tanks it’d’ve worked!” But that just may be cynical me.
Don’t bring Blackadder into it:
One example is the TV comedy show Blackadder Goes Forth, set in World War I in 1917. While funny, well-written and having reasonably accurate sets and uniforms, it also badly misrepresents reality in several ways.
All senior officers are portrayed as incompetent, whereas any unsuccessful generals were actually quickly withdrawn by all sides. Junior officers such as Captain Blackadder, meanwhile, seem to have no responsibility for the 200 or so men who would have been under his command. And the stunning stupidity and uselessness of Private Baldrick is a far cry from the actual average Tommy, who was intelligent, capable and well-trained.
The whole series, particularly the comi-tragic final episode, reinforces the concept of ‘lions led by donkeys’ – a very popular depiction of the Great War which arose in the 1920s, partly as dislike of supreme commander General Haig permeated the popular consciousness of Britain in post-war analysis of the enormous fatality count. The reality of the Great War was that it locked millions of soldiers into fixed defences where they struggled for supremacy. The Allies won the war, but afterwards an understandable revulsion set in at the scale of the casualties. Much of this manifested itself in (often unfair) condemnation of the military and political leaders. In the main, the commanders, junior officers and troops were brave, resourceful and committed soldiers.
The writers will be heartbroken that their satire has been so effective.

One of the things a lot of critics of WW1 generals dont seem to touch on is how much politics & ‘prestige” deformed thinking.
Eg: The boxheads had a very nice plan to keep attacking at Verdun but without really trying to take it.
The idea being to bleed the french white thanks to massive superiority in artillery and the fact the french had too much ‘prestige” tied up in the fortress.
It worked as planned for a start, an absolute meat grinder for the French army.
They it all went horribly RIGHT for the boxheads.
They took some of the forts.
That meant they had too much “prestige” tied up in it, and the French got to dish out the same bleeding the Boxheads had been doing earlier.
In effect they bled themselves for months because the “cost” of headlines saying they had lost the place was considered higher than losing whole divisions of men.

‘Only one sausage per month for everyone!’ German Nutrition Society recommends over 90% reduction in daily meat eating– to combat global warming (4 Jun)
German daily newspaper Bild: Only one sausage per month for everyone! – “Less meat consumption = better climate? The Lower Saxony Chamber of Agriculture has calculated that even halving meat consumption would bring Germany one percentage point closer to its climate goals.” … “No one wants to ban people from their occasional currywurst. But overall meat consumption in the population is too high for health and sustainability reasons, it’s a scientific fact“, indicates the DGE to the German newspaper.
The German Nutrition Society (DGE) now recommends reducing meat consumption to 10 grams per day per person to combat global warming. … A sudden and radical renunciation: The average meat consumption of Germans is 109 grams per day, or about 763 grams per week. The population will therefore have to drastically change its eating behavior if it agrees to comply with this new strategy.
How about this: hell, no! Take your stupid weekly sausage and stick it where the sun don’t shine. Scientific fact these days seems more to do with religious belief than any actual science.

All the cans/stubbies generated by the pub are taken to the recycling depot. In regressive Qld this is done by stuffing them into wool bales, labelling each bale with your “Recycling ID number” (or whatever it is called – you have to be registered & issued a several-digit number) & leaving them for the recycling depot staff to perform secret recycling business on, in a secure area.
We take them along every so often, a ute load chockers with misshapen woolbales.
Payment of a few hundred dollars comes through a week or two later, not as one payment, but for secret recycling reasons broken into dozens of simultaneous payments ranging from two dollars through to fourteen dollars.
It is not worth it. It is a loss, particularly of time.
The only place it could work is with unpaid labour – & it requires so much of that I wouldn’t recommend anybody bother.

Surely making bauxite into aluminium is more expensive than cleaning and melting recycled aluminium? Of course, it goes down to scale and the costs of switching job tasks.

Charges dropped against Olympian boxer Harry Garside
Charges accusing Olympic boxer Harry Garside of attacking his ex-girlfriend have been dropped after a court was told of video footage that showed her as the alleged aggressor.
The 25-year-old was arrested at Sydney Airport in early May as he flew home from South Africa following filming of I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here!
NSW Police stopped the boxer, who won a bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics, as he made his way to baggage claim and charged him with a domestic violence charge of common assault against his former partner Ashley Ruscoe.
Ms Ruscoe had accused him of assaulting her between 4pm and 7pm on March 1 at Bellevue Hill in Sydney’s eastern suburbs.
Mr Garside fronted Sydney’s Downing Centre Local Court on Wednesday alongside high-profile defamation barrister Sue Chrysanthou and solicitor Rebekah Giles.
He sat in the front row of the public gallery next to his lawyers as his matter was mentioned.
At a previous court mention, Ms Chrysanthou told the court she had made “substantial representations” to police in relation to additional material which police didn’t have access to.
“In particular a video of the incident in question which we say shows the complainant as the aggressor,” Ms Chrysanthou said.
“Other material where she has made threats about going to police to make fake complaints.”
However, police on Wednesday sensationally dropped all charges against Mr Garside in court.
“There shouldn’t have been any charges in this case but my client is content with the speed at which my friend has moved,” Ms Chrysanthou said.
Mr Garside revealed he was no longer in a relationship with Ms Ruscoe, who appeared as a contestant on The Amazing Race in 2019, during his time on I’m a Celebrity.
He was dating the boxing and martial arts instructor for more than 18 months, often being snapped by paparazzi together.
But when talking to fellow campmates, Mr Garside said he was thinking of staying single for a while.
Ms Ruscoe is nine years older than Mr Garside, with the pair attending the GQ awards together in November.
The 33-year-old began dating the Olympic boxer after she split from her boyfriend and teammate on The Amazing Race, Sidney Pierucci in 2019.
The boxer had snapped a picture of he and his father before their flight out of South Africa, and uploaded it to Instagram.
“Had to upgrade my best mate to business with me. His first time flying business,” he wrote on the post.
The pair had been overseas for several weeks while Mr Garside filmed for the Channel 10 reality show which was won by netballer Liz Ellis.
Mr Garside won bronze at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in the men’s lightweight boxing, and has won seven Australian national boxing championships.”
Memo to Mr Garside , please sue the knickers off Ms Ruscoe……………pardon the pun!
Trying to remember where you put the cheque book is certainly a drain on productivity.
First the cheques, Doc, then the cash.
Then the purchasing choices.
Until the power goes out, or the internet goes down.
Then, cheque is the only way to transfer a significant amount of money.

Not what you are looking for in a groupie.
No sign of General-Field Marshal mUntgumery after he yesterday proposed that Wussia suffer a “soft revolution” to change its culture, ignoring that the German soft revolution he touted was imposed only after a war that killed tens of millions. Then he offered implicit support for a claimed Ukie action that arguably constituted a breach of the Geneva Conventions.
Not his finest hour, supporting mass deaths and a potential war crime.
People certainly got narky when you ordered the wrong MICR on their cheque book back in the day. Don’t ask how I know.
So, at a loss as to how to undo real problems, he is taking aim at something that is not broken.
And he will break it in the process.
Honestly, what sort of an idiot is he? If people are still using cheques then there is a reason to let them. If no one used them then they would disappear.
The exception is to this general principle is people like Chalmers himself, who no one wants but he refuses to cease to exist.

A peak business body has also aired concerns about the takeover, saying it could pose a “sovereign risk” for business in the territory.

Since its opening last Friday, It’s Pablo-matic: Picasso According to Hannah Gadsby has inspired punchy Twitter discourse about the end of the culture war, and establishment takedowns the likes of which we haven’t seen since the New York Times weighed in on Guy Fieri’s Times Square outpost. The paper’s art critic Jason Farago left the Picasso show “sad and embarrassed”; the Artnews review of Pablo-matic came with a headline trumpeting that the show is “disastrous”.
The exhibition consists of six mini galleries where 50 works by Picasso face off with 49 pieces by contemporary feminist artists, all but one of which were plucked from the museum’s own collection. The extravaganza’s nerve center is a screening room where clips are played from one of its three co-curators, Gadsby, whose 2018 Netflix special Nanette was partly ad hominem aimed at Picasso.

These things may have happened, and if so they would have been traumatic. By why would you blurt it out to an audience you can hardly see (stage lights are pretty damn bright) as a part of a show? How does that sort of thing feel like a part of a show. I would imagine a lot of the audience, who turned up for comedy, just felt embarrassed at the self-indulgent display through which they could do no more than sit in their chairs and watch.

Social media ‘trust’ or ‘distrust’ buttons could reduce spread of misinformation (6 Jun)
The addition of “trust” and “distrust” buttons on social media, alongside standard “like” buttons, could help to reduce the spread of misinformation, finds a new experimental study led by University College London (UCL) researchers.
Incentivizing accuracy cut in half the reach of false posts, according to the findings published in eLife.
Co-lead author, Professor Tali Sharot (UCL Psychology & Language Sciences, Max Planck UCL Center for Computational Psychiatry and Aging Research, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology) said, “Over the past few years, the spread of misinformation, or ‘fake news,’ has skyrocketed, contributing to the polarization of the political sphere and affecting people’s beliefs on anything from vaccine safety to climate change to tolerance of diversity. Existing ways to combat this, such as flagging inaccurate posts, have had limited impact.”
The problem is the academic bubble within which Prof. Sharot lives is a pure echo chamber which thinks everything they believe is self-evidently true. Whenever they emerge from the bubble the shock they experience is intensely amusing. All you need to see are the comments sections of newspapers whenever some Lefty holy cow is being spruiked. I think his idea is excellent, but won’t quite have the effect he thinks it will have…
If he had not been conceived Labor would still have dredged up some other bland incompetent in his place. It is not like they have a shortage of those.
The only novel thing about him is that after a gestation of 24 months (even before parturition he instinctively made a point of living off other people as much as possible) from an Australian mother, and an embarrassed Italian father, he has a singular visceral hatred of British conservatives.
I hope everyone is seated, smelling salts at the ready, and swooning couches prepped.
A heavy metal band has been accused of…. using groupies….
Sorry to have blurted it out like that, shocking i know.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/06/german-band-rammstein-accused
Several people who attended concerts by the German band Rammstein have come forward describing a system whereby young female fans are recruited to have sex with the shock rockers’ lead singer, Till Lindemann, during and after their shows, following one fan’s allegation that her drink had been spiked at an afterparty in Vilnius last month.
The reports have gathered momentum just ahead of Rammstein’s sold-out four-night residency at Munich’s Olympic Stadium starting on Wednesday, prompting the concert promoter to announce there would be no afterparties following the show nor a so-called “row zero” experience for select fans directly in front of the stage.
The publishing house Kiepenheuer & Witsch, which published an anthology of Lindemann’s poems in 2020, announced it was parting ways with the singer, citing the string of reports as well as a two-year-old pornographic video in which the Rammstein frontman appears to insert his penis through a hole cut into a copy of a volume of his own poetry.
…
In a follow-up post on 30 May, the woman said: “Till did NOT touch me. He accepted I did not want to have sex with him. I never claimed he raped me.”
Several stories have since been reported in German media that show similar experiences of fans being “cast” to have sex with the Rammstein frontman.
An article in Süddeutsche Zeitung cites another woman, who had attended an after-show party following a Rammstein concert in Vienna in 2019, and had drunk alcohol.
After passing out, this woman said she regained consciousness to find Lindemann “on top of me” inside a hotel room. According to Süddeutsche, the singer then asked her whether she wanted him to stop and later left the room.
Who would have dreamt such nice chaps of impeccable class and style might root groupies?

Dr Chalmers, the Apprentice Treasurer, if GDP nominal growth over the past year to 31/3/2023 is 2% and the CPI (Inflation) is around 6.5 %, then there is NO real (after inflation) growth.
How about telling the truth for ONCE. You Lightweight.
Okay.
Indeed. And what fangirl among a small number of other fangirls lined up at stage door security, would for see the possibility that they might be asked for secx? Wierd, huh.
Who would have dreamt such nice chaps of impeccable class and style might root groupies?

David Sharaz’s marriage history, alleged gambling debts and addiction and general sleazebag promotion of his knickerless meal ticket would seem extraordinarily interesting ground for a bit of digging.
He provided favoured hacks with what amounted to full press kits packaging the chocolate-box chunderer’s version of events, up to and including pics of her with Morrison.
Those kits came with advisories to recipients that he not be mentioned and a request that editor’s up the chain be alerted to make no mention either.
Im shocked… shocked I say, by the cads and bounders here stating that groupies know what they are in for.

/remembers own time as a roadie…..
/ deliberately forgets a certain music/TV personality who invited mother & daughter back to his caravan after the show, and the sighting of them emerging about 10:00 the next morning in a suitably shopworn state…
So…who would be able to select these ‘trust’ and ‘distrust’ buttons? The general public? So we would have the astroturfing left coming out in their battalions to ‘distrust’ everything they simply don’t want to be true.
Who ever supplied money for this study should ask for it back.
Re the Rammstein article, it mentions they are doing a few shows at the Munich Olympic Stadium starting tonight. I know there’s a live webcam on the tower at Munich Olympic Park so I went to have a look and you can see the massive stage setup in the stadium for the concerts.
More importantly than the dollar amount, why was Reynolds, who was Higgins’ actual employer at the time of the alleged incidents and employment misdemeanors, threatened out of participating in the mediation by the Albanese Government.
And a little too late.
A piece of Turd World political theatre, paid for at public expense, surrendered by the SFLs.
No. Reynolds has only said she will refer it to the commission if no one else will. That is a long way from being investigated by the commission and a very long way from any finding against a Labor politician.
That is not its purpose at all.
suitably shopworn state
You learn things here. 🙂

Righto. Cache and cookies cleared and hey, presto! All fixed. Sometimes I should take my own advice.
The most interesting thing about Carlson’s new Twitter video is that it comes after his lawyers have spent several weeks exploring whether Fox News will or can enforce his contract that would keep him off-air until January 25, 2024– after the next US presidential election.
The answer is: apparently not. Carlson tags his latest video: “Tucker Carlson on Twitter — Episode 1”.
The rest of Carlson’s colleagues in the news media are circling him like sharks.
This Reuters report is full to the brim with disinformation/propaganda tricks against him, confident you’re too stupid to figure out what they’re up to.
The news media might as well be a political party. It is the enemy of the people.
On CPI and retail price placement.
Personally not a huge consumer, but potato chips are arguably an epitome of inessential, but much-loved manufactured snack foods.
Prior to Christmas, the Colesworth price for a 165g pack of potato chips ranged from about $2.50 for common or garden flavour varieties – to around $4.00 for Tahitian Lime and Yak Yoghurt ‘specials’.
Interestingly, the more exotic chips are now on the shelves for $9.00 and others on sale for $4.50 advertised at Now 50% Off. There are still run-of-the-mill chips in the $3.00 range – but I notice they are serviced by the sinister Same Low Low Price shelf tags.
I realise there has been a potato shortage, but my takeaway is that Colesworth are using inflation to position prices for an increase slightly in excess of 6.8%.
Rinse and repeat for other popular discretionary products.
Chalmers of the Treasury is going to need to do better than cancel cheques by 2030.
Sound advice.
DrF – don’t forget the chip packs are also getting smaller!
Wow. The TC video now has had 35M views!

Tom, it is still ongoing.

Linda Burney announces $81m for justice reinvestment in Darwin, Australia
More than $81m in federal funding will target justice reinvestment programs across Australia, designed to keep Indigenous people out of prison. Here’s where the money will be spent in the NT.
Three Territory towns and communities as well as Darwin will share in $81.5m to keep Indigenous people out of prison.
Aboriginal Australians Minister Linda Burney was in the Top End on Wednesday to spruik the announcement, which will benefit justice reinvestment programs in Darwin, Katherine, Groote Eylandt and Lajamanu.
The package will be unevenly distributed across 30 Australian communities, half of which have already expressed interest in the grant program.
Justice reinvestment programs in Alice Springs and Central Australia received a separate $10m commitment in the new federal budget.
The latest Bureau of Statistics data show one in every 100 Territorians was in prison, whereas three in every 100 Indigenous Territorians were in prison.
Aboriginal children made up 97 per cent of children in Territory youth detention and 87.5 per cent of incarcerated children were unsentenced, a recent Justice Reform Initiative report indicated.
Ms Burney, speaking ahead of the Joint Council on Closing the Gap meeting in Darwin, said these figures were the country’s “national shame”.
“More than 30 years after the Royal Commission into Aboriginal deaths in custody, rates of incarceration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, men, women and young people are a national shame,” she said.
“We cannot stand by and see young people robbed of their futures by a justice system that too often lets them down.
“We can and we must do better.”
Alternatives to prison programs in the Territory
The money is set to target both new and existing justice reinvestment programs, each of which will be tailor-designed by communities.
Other Australian towns and communities to receive grants include Townsville, Port Augusta, Doomadgee in Queensland and Newman in Western Australia.
Ms Burney said the programs, to be equally funded by the federal government and state and Territory governments, was about “keeping people out of prison”.
“It might be connecting young people back up to culture, it might be working with the local police to get them involved in school programs,” she said.
“It might be working with the local business owners in terms of employment and training, it might be men’s behaviour groups to deal with domestic violence.
“It’s not a cookie cutter model … it will be absolutely up to the local community to determine what they think is needed.”
Catherine Liddle, the deputy lead convener of the Coalition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peak Organisations, said the announcement was welcomed amid justice targets heading “alarmingly off-track”.
“Where we see pockets of self determination, we get different outcomes,” she said.
“(But) for these announcements to work it’s going to take a lot of work.”
Ms Liddle said Coalition of Peaks members would be sitting down with Ms Burney, Senator Malarndirri McCarthy, Aboriginal Affairs Minister Selena Uibo and other Australian politicians at Wednesday’s meeting to create a practical way forward on the programs.
“This is where we talk to the ministers as frankly as we can and have those really fierce conversations about what change can look like,” Ms Liddle said.

“David Sharaz’s marriage history, alleged gambling debts and addiction and general sleazebag promotion of his knickerless meal ticket would seem extraordinarily interesting ground for a bit of digging.”
Yep. Until recently the sole media outlet to shine any light on this imbroglio has been the Oz newspaper, and they have only really concentrated on the legal issues, and I reckon Janet A and others at the Oz have done superb work. But now Seven, the Oz Daily Mail and 2GB have joined in, and they’re being, ahem, a little more juicy. I don’t think Ben Fordham will ever again receive another invite to Mr and Mrs Amphibian’s Mosman pad for their yearly January soiree. The Mail has a story about Knickerless never returning Senator Reynolds’ Carla Zampatti jacket (not a cheap jacket) and Ben Fordham also spoke about this on his radio programme, and the Mail has a pic of Knickerless leaving PH in the Zampatti jacket.
Pass the popcorn!
We might ask the following question, why is Seven and the Daily Mail suddenly shining a light on this tawdry couple, the spurious allegation, the political malfeasance etc? Well, I could be wrong but I think an awful lot of people have long despised the Amphibian and her husband, and secondly, everyone can now smell something I could smell from the beginning, that this was a political hit job and Higgins and Sharaz are a conniving, manipulative pair of hustlers.
The corporate owner of the Hilton in downtown San Francisco is pulling out (and closing another hotel in the city as well), citing poor prospects for the hotel business in the city:
“Now more than ever, we believe San Francisco’s path to recovery remains clouded and elongated by major challenges – both old and new: record high office vacancy; concerns over street conditions; lower return to office than peer cities; and a weaker than expected citywide convention calendar through 2027 that will negatively impact business and leisure demand and will likely significantly reduce compression in the city for the foreseeable future” said the CEO of Park Hotels & Resorts.
Corporatese for “the place is becoming a sh^thole.”
