Real love and devotion to each other. We hear about the divorces and cheating of celebrities but hardly ever of…

Their drunkenness obviates consent. (It also allows them to say that their recollections are imprecise or even wrong.)
Fact check : TRUE …
10 years as an alcoholic and I can still , vividly, remember most of it, good & bad (lotz more bad than good.. duuuh!) but in the 43 years since the last alcoholic intake (August 1980) whenever asked , by anyone, I tend to fall back on the tried & tested ……… “Can’t remember, no idea .. I wuz drunk, almost, all of the time” ……
Alternative histories can make diverting reading.
I was trying to think of the last time I heard “but, but … she consented” in relation to teenage girls and grubby old pervs.
Oh, that’s right.
It was right here, in defence of Prince Andrew the Sweatless.
the Kulaks are revolting
Minors are not always blameless, at least legally.
Consider a 14 year old sending cheese pizza of themselves to a 17 year old.
Dot, arguing with ignorant loonies is not a good way to spend your time.
I know quite a few people who have zero recollection of their behaviour when paralytically drunk.
It happens.
Children can lie cheat steal be promiscuous etc.
But when the other party is a very mature adult in a position of loco parentis, that power bears 100 percent of the responsibility.
Regarding the Seven Spotlight show on Lehrmann on Sunday night.
For those who had read the Sofronoff Report, or the potted version in the Oz, there wasn’t much new stuff.
There was one little snippet which I thought interesting though.
A phone call where Samantha Maiden tells Britnah that Lehrmann is going to deny that any sexual contact took place.
Britnah declares that this is “Great news!” but the tone said something completely different.
Married men who have heard those dreaded phrases, “No, nothing’s the matter”, and “Everything’s fine” will know exactly what I mean.
I think the fix was even deeper than what we imagine. ACT Shire Council legal aid were trying to steer Lehrmann away from Whybrow to counsel with a more conciliatory style.
Once the tame defence counsel is appointed, Dumgold then makes overtures (without firm commitment) to reduce charges to, say, indecent assault if he makes certain admissions of inappropriate touching. Lehrmann is convinced to wave the white flag in the hope that he might get a suspended sentence. Next minute, his admissions appear on The Project and there is no deal.
After all ten is the age of legal responsibility.
The reason we have age of consent laws, and higher ones where teachers are involved, is because of the power imbalance between adults and children.
Of course child abusers hate age of consent laws.
But in matters of sexual contact between a 58 year perv and a 15 year old girl, the girl is blameless before the law.
Which is why Cassie correctly put Louis Litt in his place last night for declaring that a teenager “consenting” to sex was some sort of mitigation.
Minors. Cannot. Legally. Consent. To. Sex.
The end.
From the Epoch Times:
Siyamak sits down with Victor Gomez, the executor director of “Citizens Against the Lawsuit Abuse” https://cala.com/ He’s going to tell us how some trial attorneys in California have found a way to make a lot of money of small businesses for their mistakes using the law.
“I see California businesses fleeing the state: 750,000 jobs are lost every year. A lot of Vietnamese immigrants, a lot of Latino immigrants come here with an entrepreneurial spirit. They put all of their money to open up that taco shop, to open up that boqueria … That’s their only income.”
M0nty:”As I said, a bunch of hearsay and table pounding.
If there was a case against Joe there, indictments would have flowed long ago.”
Just to be clear:
The “Steele Dossier”, used as the basis for the Mueller investigation of the Trump administration and the 2016 election, was known by the Obama administration to be paid “oppo” research, paid for by Hillbillary & co – the CIA’s John Brennan told at least Obama and Biden this was so in the dying days of Obama’s presidency when that investigation was in its infancy. Yet it was sufficient “evidence” for the FBI to spend 2 years and north of $50M investigating, ultimately resulting in no charges against DJT, and the FBI illegally withheld exculpatory information from the FISA court doing it.
In contrast, the network of LLC’s created by the Biden family, the bank records of the transactions of those LLC’s, and the banks filing “Suspicious Activity Reports” regarding those transactions, are all either public records (LLCs), third party “neutral” records (bank records) or legislatively required notification (SARs) again from “neutral” third parties. And the third parties here only supplied the info as required by law and subpoena, not as part of an overarching “bad man” document in an attempt to discredit a political opponent.
Devin Archer told Tucker Carlson in his twitter posted interview that his partnership with Hunter Biden was selling “navigation” of the “swamp” – that is, access to people who could speed up processes or get things done that otherwise would be denied. That is all fine and legal even if ethically questionable, but if you are doing it on behalf of foreigners, you need to register as a “foreign agent”. As far as I know, Hunter Biden was not so registered. And if Hunter was sharing a bank account with his father, paying some of his fathers expenses and getting his father on the phone during his “sell”, then that raises the question of how much Joe knew, when he knew it, and if, as seems to be the case with the Ukraine investigator, he acted to further his sons interests.
If what Hunter was selling was legit, why the network of LLC’s transferring cash around, when that looks suspiciously like obfuscation as with any money laundering scheme?
Why did Joe Biden lie on TV during the Presidential debate with Trump when he said neither he nor Hunter ever made any money from China?
Why did Joe’s stated position change from “I never knew anything about my sons business activity” to “I was never in business with him [Hunter]”?
Why is the MSM strangely incurious about the above contradicted-by-facts and at-odds-position statements by the President?
There is clearly enough evidence (not proof, evidence) that something at least “odd”, if not technically illegal, is going on – things that if true, indicate that Hunter Biden at least, and possibly Joe as well, were “foreign agents” (not the 007 type, but as per the US FARA laws). This warrants investigation, which – given the nature of the office held – should be public.
If DoJ/FBI is not investigating (and I have seen no indication that they are), then given how DJT was treated, this raises questions of conflict of interest in the executive branch that clearly were not present in the DJT admin – indeed, one might even suspect that there was bias against DJT, and for JRB, in that even suspiciously sourced hints about DJT were aggressively investigated, while testimony under oath to congress and legally required “suspicious activity” reporting was ignored when JRB was the subject. Not a good look, regardless of what really went on and why.
Even more concerning is the timing of the various actions against DJT – DoJ announced DJT indictments the day after revelations of what appears to be malfeasance by the Biden family is exposed by Congress. Not just once, but several times (there are timelines on Twitter – sorry, no references)
Sorry M0nty, but I think that, much like Watergate, the “killer” is not the actual crime, but the coverup of the crime. And I think the “crime” in this case is also potentially significantly more serious and widespread than the Watergate one – Watergate simply involved local politics and “dirt”, while this appears to indicate bribery and corruption on an international level at a scale never exposed before.

Newcastle Herald – By Damon Cronshaw – August 12 2023 – 2:00pm
I’d appreciate if anyone can open this article. I’m totally hemmed in at present. The two of them have me covered from all angles. I cannot get to my garbage bins or to the clothes line.

Good, factual, rant, Kneel!!!
“I studied Hebrew for two years as an avocational pursuit.”
Roger, did you study classical Hebrew or modern day Hebrew? They are different.
As for studying Hebrew for two years, fabbo, but I know scholars and rabbis who’ve studied Classical Hebrew for decades, and I suspect that they are way more knowledgeable and learned about Hebrew than you (or I for that matter). My rabbi isn’t just a Hebrew scholar, he’s also a scholar of Kabbalah and the Hasidic Tanya. Finally, when reading what I call the Torah and you call the OT, Jewish and Christian interpretations can be very, very different.
Would an umbrella help with the plovers? My experience of them is that they’re bullies and will back off if threatened.
My main problem is when I go outside rainbow lorikeets land on my head.

May not work though. They are not exactly the most intelligent of birds.
Someone mentioned Watergate above and the Biden Crime family are far more corrupt. However, it reminded me of how we’re always told how “bad” Nixon was. As per usual, its ahistorical. We need an injection of Nixon into the Voice:
Self determination can work, so as long as it isn’t enshrined in a constitution for what is not a homogenous group. I’m not totally for it but as Abbott said “if you want to make a lifestyle choice and live 400kms south of Derby, that’s up to you, just don’t expect the same level of government services as elsewhere” (not quite word for word but you get my drift).
Also, in the Midrash it is said that Adam had a wife before Eve, her name was Lilith. Lilith defied Hashem and Adam and, rather than being subservient to Adam, Lilith ran off to the Red Sea to become a demon.
It’s a story that rabid Jewish feminists just love.
I was once at a drasha (lesson) and a friend of mine asked a rabbi about Lilith, and she suggested that Lilith would be a better role model for women than Eve. The rabbi exploded in anger.
See now Kneel, you fail at the first factual hurdle, because that’s just not true. You follow this up with a big list of lies fed to you from the fever swamp.
Put your evidence up in court and see if it stands up. That’s what Trump has to face now in four separate cases with a heap more direct evidence. Let’s see Biden’s lawyers tear your tissue paper of a case apart.
The House Committee has already investigated Hunter, and all it could come up with was a bunch more questions, and no answers. This is tiresome timewasting, everyone stopped listening to incompetent fools like Gym Jordan decades ago. Whitewater, Seth Rich, Benghazi, Hillary’s secret risotto recipes and now noods of Hunter’s hog… your boys have never laid a finger on anyone with these endless investigations.
On today of all days, you can shut up and listen to the feeds out of Georgia as real lawyers with actual evidence lay down a solid case. Maybe you’ll learn something.
Here is the WIRES page on plovers laying eggs on garage roofs, which they’ve decided recently they like doing. Makes sense, since foxes and cats are less likely to prey upon them there.
Plovers
Not sure if any of that is particularly helpful though.
I regard the Demonrats’ anti-Trump legal warfare as serving two aims.
1. Try to entangle Trump in an enormous number of indictments in order to remove him from the race. They would like to have him imprisoned because it would help with the second, equally significant point.
2/a. To make a valiant effort to stop future GOP candidates from ever objecting to or criticizing the electoral process.
2/b Therefore, they aim to cheat and will do so on a greater scale if they are successful.
It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.

“It is a good idea to create a USB recovery drive at regular intervals.”
“Backup early and often” is the mantra – but no-one does until they have been stung at least once.
For a bit more safety, install Oracle VMWare and only use the virtual machine to browse – you can even set it to NOT save changes, so that every (virtual) power-on starts with the same hard disk image (no permanent virus/worm, even if you get one in any session). I used this many years ago in my business – one VM for “mission critical” stuff (accounts, banking etc) , another for general web access. The latter I kept of a copy of the virtual HDD in “known good” state, and every now and then copied back when the “current” one got “broken” (or even just started to bog down with crap). The base OS was Linux, the VMs were Windows, but you can run the base OS as Windows, no problem.
There is a small performance “hit”, but I managed just fine on early 1990’s hardware for everything except video streaming, but anything remotely “new” should be fine, and likely hardly noticeable. The only real issue is getting the install media for your VM – if you can live with XP, no issues its legally free now, Win 7 you likely have anyway (don’t update!), but Win10 and up is likely harder to get install media (an ISO image is fine, don’t need physical media).

Get out of the basement more, tard.

Just have a water pistol. Works on cats as well. Maybe on MontyPox Virus who is actually a pussy.
It is undeniably piquant that Trump was gifted his most obsequious lickspittle Aileen Cannon to run interference for him in the Mar-A-Lago toilet documents case, but he copped the most fearsome patriot in Chutkan to judge him on the January 6 insurrection case.
He rolled the dice with four separate crimes, it was always on the odds that he’d roll a 1 for at least one of them.
Yes, they all reported that there were flaws in the Steele dossier. Fair enough, it was raw intelligence, there are no guarantees with that stuff.
However, what Kneel said was that the Steele dossier was the basis for the investigation into Trump. This is factually incorrect. It was the fishnet-wearing Alexander Downer’s tip off that started the ball rolling.
Fatboy wants us to believe that
1. the Chinese government aligned firms
2. Ukrainian firms
3. Russian Oligarchs and their surviving wives
4. Middle eastern business interests

Here’s a decent prediction I heard on a podcast this morning. Sounds reasonable.
Dr Jill used these 2 weeks of the Hiden beach vacation to smooth the drama of telling the decrepit old piece of shit that he can’t run for a second term and its over.
The podcast reckons that in this situation Dr. Jill is calling the shots because she would be telling him his brain is no longer functioning.
(Interesting that Hiden was asked to remark on the Hawaii fires yesterday and he said he wasn’t commenting. It could mean the corrupt old turd has checked out of the Oval Office.)

JC, much as I hate to tell you, you just don’t get it. Worse, m0nty does! For shame.
The aim, in so far as the Dems have one, is to take a well-deserved victory lap.
They can charge you with whatever (made up risible nonsense or otherwise) they damn well please. Then point you at the “appropriate” judge.
They can do whatever they want without any concern re legalities… unless there is some cast-iron “evidence” to the contrary. They get to define “evidence” (see m0nst above). So there is never any evidence. All hearsay. And they define “hearsay”.
They can hold hearings and throw away the source documents.
If they get caught on one dodge, say a wacko plea deal, they can just substitute the same prosecutor under a different title and defer the whole problem away.
If you can’t see the victory lap for what it is at this point…
In some ways, I hope they’re right. Because the consequences of them not being right are frankly frightening.
Which is why they simply HAVE to be right.
Which, I think, is where we came in.
Haha, pull the other one Darth Monty, it’s got bells on.

Even though he is channeling a like quote by Newton it is BS. The average IQ of Nobel Prize winners is in the highly gifted range(140-50). It is true that they work very hard and for very long but they do that because they are smart enough to keep making somke progress along the way.
“It’s freaking incredible. The US justice system certainly had faults; I’m not starry eyed about about that, but it was the best justice system in the world. In fact, as Cernovich says, it was the envy of the world until the Demonrats got to it with a wrecking ball.”
JC, that’s what the left do. They politicise and destroy everything, particularly the judicial system, because that way they can go after their ideological enemies. Just look at what was done to Pell in Victoria, and what’s ensued in the ACT more recently.

Thank goodness, I was worried he didn’t agree with him.
“See now Kneel, you fail at the first factual hurdle, because that’s just not true. You follow this up with a big list of lies fed to you from the fever swamp.”
Umm, yes it is true – the FBI has stated that the Steele Dossier was pivotal in their investigation. Look it up yourself.
As I noted, these “lies fed to you from the fever swamp” are well documented public information, subpoenaed from banks and others, supplied by banks as part of their legal obligations or on oath testimony to congress (perjury laws apply).
As I also said, this is evidence that warrants investigation, not proof. It’s murky and ambiguous – and if JRB really did do those things, then it’s that way on purpose, to make it hard to disentangle, so that by the time it all washes out, he is not only out of office, but the statute to limitations has expired (a la Hunters earlier tax issues).
If you would accept (for the sake of the argument) that the aforesaid evidence was in fact real, would you agree it is worth investigating? Not of charges at present (I would argue it is…), but certainly investigation.
I assure you this evidence is real, although I also agree that some of the more extreme claims about what it means are likely hyperbole.
I doubt very much that the swamp will charge one of its own (JRB) as opposed to an outsider (DJT) who has, and continues to campaign on “draining the swamp” and “firing” a lot of them.
“…your boys have never laid a finger on anyone with these endless investigations.”
I would again remind you that DJT suffered over two years of investigation on much flimsier evidence and was also never charged. If DJT deserved to be “done” and put up with such investigation, then surely the “pure as driven snow” JRB can endure an investigation and then bask in the glow of his own innocence.
The latest Jan 6 related charges against DJT are so ridiculously flimsy that even left leaning legal people are dubious they will go anywhere – firstly, does anyone who sees DJT as a megalomaniac wanna-be dictator really think he “believes” he lost in 2020? Secondly, there is already precedent that the first amendment applies to politicians even when they are knowingly lying. Thirdly, twitter has already released the tweets he made on Jan 6 that were at the time hidden from public view, where he urged people to “go home” and (once again) to avoid any sort of violence. Fourthly, listing legal and political advisors as “co-conspirators” is a long stretch – the right to legal advise is a bedrock right, and should that now be considered “conspiracy”, the entire legal system is lost, and you may as well be in Stalin’s USSR or Mao’s China. I can’t imagine that surviving at the SC, if it even gets that far.
The prosecutor has already committed a grave error that is arguably prosecutorial misconduct (failing to deliver all discovery information and telling the court it had).
We haven’t seen the actual GA indictments as yet, but I suspect that these too are a whole lot of stuff taken out of context, which can be done for a grand jury hearing, but not at trial.
In both the federal and GA cases, discovery might run into some very interesting details that the left doesn’t want made public – at least there will be the amusement of that.
I think that “the process IS the punishment” is what is going on here – they want DJT distracted, unable to campaign, and financially exhausted. On the latter I think they have made a grave error – Trump, I believe, is quite prepared to spend $100M or more on legals and will never accept a plea deal that a lesser monied individual might. And I also think that the harder they try to “get Trump”, while at the same time “save Biden”, the more they push even left-leaning moderates away from themselves and towards Trump – certainly the polling is indicating this.
Mueller could have charged him very easily with the mountain of evidence he had of Russia’s election interference and Trump’s enablement and involvement, but decided not to for the sole reason that he was a sitting President.

You realise that alternate electors are common and never before considered illegal?
In fact, in 1960, Hawaii sent both Dem and Repub electors – the Repub ones were the ones “certified” by the SoS. Nixon (as VP) then chose the Dem ones anyway (there was reason, I agree).
In 2016, Dems and “celebrities” were urging DJT electors to instead vote for Clinton.
In both cases, no-one got accused of a crime – it wasn’t even suggested it might be a crime.
But when Dems lose…

Envy of the world? Where are the quotes from people in other countries passionately wishing they had the US justice system? It’s bollocks.
When Tamanny Hall ran NYC, they owned plenty of judges, and Al Capone had several in his pocket in Chicago. Then there’s Las Vegas in the 50s and 60s. Louisiana, FFS. There are plenty of other examples.
I’m not saying that the US system is particularly bad, but claiming that it was ever a beacon of integrity, just like the political system, is ahistorical nonsense. Both have been riddled with corruption from Day 1. It’s the American Way.
People from Anglo countries often disparage the legal systems of countries which are based on, or similar to, the Napoleonic Code. I reckon that in 95%+ of cases, the outcome is the same, if they play by the rules.
If I was charged with an offence, I wouldn’t be worried about being tried under the Napoleonic Code type of process, as long as everyone was playing with a straight bat.
And, that’s something which can’t be guaranteed in any jurisdiction.

You walk through the enchanted forest and happen upon a chocolate rabbi sitting on a rock. He says use my poison needle for …….. Reasons.
Reasons say the birds. Reasons say the trees. Reasons say the furry animals that play, jump and laugh near your feet.
Of course you refuse but upon returning to the village you find that everyone has met the rabbi and most of them used his poisoned needle. Some were smothered by the trees. Some were eaten by the small animals. But we must give thanks and praise to the chocolate rabbi since most survived and were eligible for promotion.
But here is the thing. Those who refused the needle were only allowed to work minimum wage thereafter. So the rabbi had placed an institutional filter on the villages labour market.
Nothing like this could happen in the modern world but you are missing the point if you think I am merely arguing against aether denial or special relativity. I am saying they are so stupid and so maliciously idiotic that they were set up as institutional filters for physics.
Only by way of a century of these institutional filters in place could you wind up with physicists so completely retarded.

Even so, BRIC countries currencies haven’t collapsed by a third against the dollar, so there’s impact and it makes Russian imports more expensive by a third. India and China are gouging the living daylights out of the Russians buying Russian oil&gas at a marked discount and selling imports at big premiums. Since the war, Russia has several new arseholes sewn as a result of the gouging.

On birds swooping. We are on our way down the coast staying overnite in a Nambucca waterfront apartment with ocean and lagoon views and we’ve just seen from the balcony two amazing Sea Eagles swoop down to collect their evening meal. The bigger one, the male of the pair, made two swoops emerged triumphant at the second one clutching a dark and small fish, but the female is still swooping. They are the most beautiful birds.
As I was leaving the office after checking in standing at the door for a moment, I felt something feathery land on my shoulder, a bird of some sort. It then started creeping around over my back. As I bent over in surprise an older man appeared and reached out for the bird. Apparently it had initially hoped I was the office manager, a woman of my height, and was getting annoyed that in the shadows it had been tricked. This bird is a little green peach-face parrot which flies and lives free but has a special friendship with the office manager and accompanies her everywhere outside on her shoulder. Like Odin’s ravens, I thought, or Pirate Pete’s percher, for a human shoulder is an ideal perch. I stroked its head in the man’s hand, and it tried to nip me for not being her. They know their own.
<strong>Trump Indicted for Claims of ‘Stolen’ Election in Georgia; Stacey Abrams Still Walks Free
Twice-failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate and national Democrat celebrity Stacey Abrams is still free as of Monday, despite having maintained for years that her 2018 race was stolen — a claim for which former President Donald Trump has been indicted.
Trump and 18 others — including lawyers, campaign aides, and supporters — were indicted in Fulton County, Georgia, on Monday on a collective 41 counts for their claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen — not just in Georgia, but elsewhere.
The indictment, however, describes “acts” furthering the “conspiracy” that largely consist of public statements, protests, claims at hearings, and even posts on social media — the very same kinds of actions and statements Abrams and her allies made for years.
Like Trump and his associates, Abrams made her claims of a stolen election repeatedly, from public platforms (and appears to have believed them). Like Trump, Abrams enlisted the help of political allies — and, worse, other elected Democratic officials.
Like Trump, Abrams took her claims to court, where they were dismissed even by otherwise sympathetic judges. Like Trump, Abrams nevertheless persuaded the media and supporters that her election was, in fact stolen; many still believe it to this day.
Abrams just went to work convincing virtually all mainstream media that the election was stolen from her (some of it before the election actually happened, Michelle Goldberg wrote that Kemp was trying to “rig” it ahead of the vote.) Legal, if completely false.

And yet no prosecutor — not in Fulton County, not in the whole state of Georgia, and certainly not on the federal level — has ever prosecuted Stacey Abrams for her efforts, which apparently are a crime in the Peach State, involving potentially serious felonies.
Curiously, Abrams went on to help organize what Time magazine described as a “shadow campaign” to “save” the 2020 election.
That effort involved changing voting rules and using private funds to help public officials turn out votes in Democratic counties.
Similarly, no one has ever been charged, in Georgia or elsewhere, for their involvement in the “Russia collusion” hoax, which aimed to overturn the 2016 presidential election.
Many of its proponents are in senior roles in the Biden administration today.

Is that the criminal offence of shoving carob stool loseeners up the wrong end and spraying bystanders with emotional incontinence and racial conspiracy theories?
You know, Trump’s a complete mug. In certain ways he was useless.
Trump, like regular conservatives still thought there were rules and a system; his genius was bringing an independent business approach to it. Of course the establishment in the West is now a left one which means there are no rules only what is necessary for the left to stay in power. ALL the charges against Trump are either perversions of offences or based on lies. And of course the demorats are guilty of the things he is charged with. There is only winning. I think Trump realises this now but how does he rebuild the system.
I was going to go with a dwarf counting his gold, but would not that be kind of insensitive to our shorter friends?
It’s hard to get people focused on the filter and personality cult approach to the capture of institutions. So I wanted to help people along with some imagery.

On an equivalence basis, in other words comparing before the war and now. The foreign sourced income Russia took in from their exports and the costs incurred from their imports… on an equivalence basis, the Rubble has lost as much as 80% in tradable value.
But hey, Russia’s doing fine otherwise. The Pute is a freaking genius.
JC the oil,gas and arms aren’t sold in Ruble terms but open market dollars or goods. Countries buying those things already have a discount to get by sanctions. Do you think the buyer pays in Bubles?

I had one on my shoulder today also, a noisy; she was orbiting for a landing point and did so on the nearest suitable protuberance. They’re very excited since their first tranch of eggs have hatched, and they’re taking lots of bread bits back to the kids. It seems to do them no harm.
Where’s Lilith when you need her?
Ranga, I dunno about the arms market, but after the sad performance of the shitty stuff being presented by the Ruskies in the war, I’m not sure there’s a queue outside the local Russian arms shop around the world.
As for oil&gas, India informed the fcukers they have to cut down on imports. This means that if China takes up the slack, the Chinese will sew them three new arseholes in terms of discounts.
I have no idea what they’re using for currency in arms deals. See my comment above about the arms business.
Bother. I read that as chocolate rabbits! 😀
I’ve had Lindt on my mind since last night’s shenanigans, and not in a good way.

You know Andy Ngo’s aggressors were found not guilty in Portland too, right?
As I have said again and again, the inevitable decline in reproduction as societies get richer has been ignored as a serious area of study.
A lot of the ‘reasons’ spouted everywhere from here to The Grauniad are demonstrably wrong. For example, that couples can’t afford to have children because housing prices.
All over the world, and throughout history, people have had large families irrespective of housing prices, and if it meant a dozen people living in a few rooms, so be it.
It is not about housing prices, but about attitudes and expectations.
I see those US House Hunters programs where the buyers declare that unless each child has a bedroom with ensuite, war will break out. Like the men who choose high maintenance women, they are proud of being bullied.
I am astonished at how shallow the debate about falling fertility rates has been.
“You know Andy Ngo’s aggressors were found not guilty in Portland too, right?”
I knew. Ngo now lives in London. He has security when he returns to Portland. Antifa have threatened his family in Portland. Re. Ngo’s court case, there are reports Antifa tried to threaten jurors. It’s pretty obvious that justice is dead in Portland, and has been for a while. Peter Boghossian, also an ex-Portlander, interviewed Andy a day or two ago. Worth listening to. Boghossian has a theory, one that I agree with, which is that the residents of Portland, Seattle, San Fran and all the other progressive shit holes, the same progressive residents who continue to vote for far-left candidates and governments, need to have it shoved down their throats good and hard. He says that the remaining police in these blue cities need to be not just defunded but also disbanded, and then Portlanders et al can live with the consequences of their voting habits. Boghossian has a point.
Hey Fatboy,
“International business consulting” is hugely profitable, doncha think? Bunter was a “wunderkid”. Such incredible business prowess and folks were paying through the nose to get his advice. I bet when it’s all said and done, the “international business consultancy” will come in at around US$200 million. As Hiden said, “Bunter is the smartest person I know”.

Last nite we stayed in sin city, as I call, at the Novotel in Surfers Paradise. We both enjoy the ambience of a high floor looking up and down the strip at dusk as the lights rise, and the ocean in the morning, if there is sun, as there was, is an excellent boost for the day’s drive ahead. There was some boring convention going on and they gave us tickets for a free coffee or wine when I checked in while Hairy parked. I forgot about them but we used them this morning for take-out coffee for the road. Perhaps they think we’re skiving off from the conference, I say, for many’s the conference I’ve quit after the intros, and those old habits of die hard.
We ate last night at an Indian restaurant that was chock full of Indians (some Sikhs with turbans too), where we were the only Europeans. It was, as Hairy put it, a high tech Bangalore style, where you had to use a QR code (just like Covid) to make your order. He had his phone but I’d forgotten mine. He simply refused to use his to order though; stood on his ground and made a fuss. It took us half and hour then to get someone authorised and competent enough to take our order, once they had scoured the place for a printed menu (most things on the old one they found were ‘off’) and has sourced a pencil and notepad and a literate and female person. There were four other ‘waiters’ as well as this woman who was behind the bar, plus a Dutton look-alike (Indian toned) who was maitre d’. All were deeply concerned about us and our ordering incapacities, until the woman took pity on us with her ancient notepad. We realised that the waiters and the maitre d’ had nothing at all to do with ordering, their main job was to carry the ordered food out of the kitchen. They coud only point at the code and shrug. Who knew that physically written literacy was so on the way out?
Our physically transcribed order confused the kitchen anyway. Hairy’s lamb spinich curry arrived as ordered but my chicken buryani was a basic pilaf with sad cauliflower, frozen peas and a few carrots. I searched it for chicken but there was none. We proceeded to eat, as it was getting late, and only at payment time were told that they thought the chicken would be ‘too hot’ for our palates. lol. We’ve both lived in South Asia and love hot curry, we told the woman at the bar taking our money (couldn’t do it the normal way), and she launched into a vivid description of how their last European customer had nearly collapsed on them after ordering a ‘hot’ curry, and so they were wary. Even though he did use the QR code.
Liz, isn’t that a little beneath you? Get the hell outta there. One time I stayed in a Novotel, we found pubic hairs in between the sheets and they weren’t ours.
Get out of there now!

Barter always comes down to price and value and the only way to determine that is to eventually make your way through the transaction by way of currency valuation.
There’s no free lunch in this stuff.

I have stayed in Novotel Greenwich. Very clean and pleasant for a chain hotel. No hairs of any description detected. Brrrrrrr.
The best thing…moments away from the City via the Docklands light rail. Second best thing…the college/uni/observatory precinct. Great place to stay if you don’t want to take out a bank loan.
At Heathrow we always stay at the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel aka the Holiday Inn. Run by friendly Indians, a bit ordinary re decor, but it’s right there at the airport – you get off a long haul flight, eyes hanging out on stalks and all you want is a clean, comfy bed. Also the car hire is directly behind.

Cadbury to bring back iconic chocolate after almost a decade and fans will be thrilled (11 Aug)

Also useful to barter for other treats. Commerce for the littlies. Can’t start too soon.
Given their effectiveness in destroying Leopards, M777s, it’ll be more than just ‘rebel groups’. I mean, for about 3M ruble, you can destroy a 16M$US Leo 2. It’s a no-brainer. And with the devaluation of the ruble, its going to be even cheaper. But wait, there’s more…

But like I say there are NO rules when the left run things. Better get used to it. The sheeple have not woken up to this yet; and may not in time.
Byron’s loss.
Why are you even talking about destroying leopard tanks when the discussion is about the collapse of the rubble? “Leopolds” are theoretically destroyed in the Ukraine theater of war having nothing to do with the exchange rate.
I was talking about the collapse of the Rubble. And no, selling more of these missiles doesn’t make up for the loss of living standards incurred by the Russian people.Having to sell more missiles because of a currency collapse is not a good thing for Russians either.
Incidentally tanks are a decent target for missiles on both sides and it’s not as though western missiles and drones have under-performed in taking out Russian tanks.
If a former President commits a serious felony under state law, why shouldn’t he be indicted?
Is it because he can’t pardon himself? LOL, cry more.

It’s going to be fun to see Trump’s election campaign try to maintain momentum between appearances at four different courtrooms. And is there Arizona still to come? He’s going to spend the rest of his life shuttling between engagements with the justice system.

Depends on what’s driving it. Argentina’s currency falls by about 5% a week and the nation isn’t competitive.
The whole premise around exporting is to import goods at the cheapest possible level to help consumers. Ideally, you want a strong currency with rising exports thereby making imports cheaper. A currency collapse is terrible.
JC to prevent a detailed rant on my part, to put it quickly, Russia is screwed in the weapons sales games. Too many competitors, too much politics, too many failures of Russia providing adequate after sales support(ask India!).
Ain’t going well for Albo’s amazing plan.
I wonder what role red kez had in that 🙂 hahaha
Or a former vice president perhaps? What about a serving president Darth Monty?
I’m all ears.
It’s obviously much less so, but similar to what’s currently happening to Australia, Dover.
The Aussie dollar is quite weak, based on what is going on in our commodity export markets, government policy, and the movement is US monetary policy. It’s terrible because our relative standard of living is falling vs the rest of the world. Not good.
I am reading that Trump and his cronies go down on RICO in Georgia if it can be proved they had a plan, and at least two crimes were committed in furtherance of that plan. Which is pretty open and shut, there were way more than two crimes.
Giuliani would be well familiar with RICO, as he made his name running such cases in NY state against mobsters. His temples would be running with rivulets of hair tonic sweat.
Albo enjoying the ballooning tax revenue on mineral exports though, underpinning the increasing budget surplus.

Disputing an election result is I guess a plan. Look at fat arse stacey abrams who not only disputed her loss but set up an alternative government and urged folks to disobey the real government. I see that Kanye West is also indirectly indicted. This group of RICOs look like a fun group especially since the pleadings will prevent a combined trial of all those indicted. This indictment looks like a fat, black version of Jarndyce and Jarndyce.
The county DA looks like stacey’s younger and more obese sister. Is your wifee fat dickless.
Shades of Man Monis.
yes was thinking the same thing- so ‘refugees’ allowed in by canbra have murdered people in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. Isn’t the commonwealth liable for this? Duty of care I would have thought.

Victoria has absolutely zilch, zero renewable energy tonight 6.39pm. And if you put in another 1000 windmills it would be the same. Because there is no wind blowing and the sun isn’t shining. We are surviving on what is left of our brown coal generation and imports of hydro from tassi and black coal generated electricity streamed down from Qld. Sooner or later the goons running the show via laptops will wake up to the fact that you can’t plan wind supply based on averages. The wind is variable and sometimes doesn’t blow at all.
IIRC, a very senior NSW police officer expressed as much concern for Monis coming out of the Lindt Cafe siege unharmed as she did for the hostages.
In my opinion once you take hostages you lose your usual legal rights.

No kidding, Trump should be hiring you to advise and ensure that representations in court are your words uttered by the attorney.
I’m going Tweet Don Jr to let him know.
So Luigi admits on Melbourne radio today that he hasn’t read the Uluru Statement in full -and declares that he didn’t need to because he knows what is wanted.
Yet this is the centre piece of his first term. The possibility of the biggest change to the Constitution in our history and the bloke who wants to get it over the line is himself uninformed about it. Can we honestly believe that? No likely. He knows, he just doesn’t want us to know.

And that may be so. It might fall to someone in his office, who would then brief him on the particulars, and especially the downfalls.
Or…if they did so, they might lose their job.
