Having just spoken to my youngest 5th grade grandchild today on his 11th birthday, I congratulated him on winning the school spelling competition against the the 6th graders as well. He advised me he only just won because if he’d been given the word spelled incorrectly by his last opponent (a girl) then he’d have lost. He said to me he was just lucky.
My grandson who is in yr11 tells me there will be a shift back to the right which he calls the Conservative Youth Revolution.

Russia’s Navy Port At Sevastopol On Fire After Massive Ukraine Missile Attack (13 Sep)
It’s always been the problem for the Russians: the Black Sea is more like a lake than a sea. The Turks by comparison could always withdraw their fleet into the Med, but the Russian Black Sea Fleet can’t do that. It was only a few weeks ago that Ukrainian sea-drones nearly sank a large Russian naval ship in Novorossiysk on the far side of the Black Sea. The Russian Black Sea Fleet is going to be history fairly soon, it looks like, killed by drones.
Drone warfare is rapidly advancing in this war. I suspect, as usual, we’ll get left behind.
History as we know it is a lie. There was clearly a more advanced civilization going in the past.

Today we will take a look through some of the earliest, and rarest, photographs of Venice, Italy. These images will be from an assortment of sources, however, the bulk of these images will date to before the year 1900, and come to us from the collections of 19th century photographer Carlo Ponti.
What stands out to me in these photographs is the cleanliness of the city, which has a history dating back numerous centuries. We will discuss briefly Carlo Ponti, his contributions to photography, and his inventions. We will then dive deeper into the current accepted history of Venice. Many of the buildings, and their facades, appear to be brand new, or freshly renovated in these 19th century images.
As always, I thank you so much for joining me today, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts and ideas about Venice, Carlo Ponti, and the Old World photographs in the comment section down below!

My granddaughter is not a happy camper. Now that she is working and the car paid off she was hoping to save for a deposit for a unit but with rising prices she doesn’t see it happening for many years.
Alan Clark, in “Barbarossa” tells the story of Marshal of the Soviet Union , S.M. Budenny, as First Deputy Commissar for Defense in 1940, visiting the newly annexed province of Bessarabia. A party was given in his honor at a local distillery. Towards the close of festivities, a canvas screen was ripped off the largest vat, which had been filled, one and a half meter’s deep, with red wine. A number of naked girls were disporting themselves, in said vat. Budenny and his aides threw off their clothes and joined the girls in the vat. The baccalia gathered momentum, until another guest, disgruntled at not being able to climb in, fired a long burst at it with a sub-machine gun. Three of the occupants were wounded, and the orgy moved to more comfortable quarters at the back of the building.
I don’t remember any such conduct at dining in nights in the A.D.F, have any other Cats heard such stories?

Watch the vision FFS. Did you?
Once drew Russia in a play by mail game of Diplomacy. In those days there was quite a subculture of such things, with zines giving the progress of several games at a time.
So, as you do I did in the first turn the usual F Sev – BLA. But I’d negotiated with the Turks and convinced him that we could do the Juggernaut. It’s a Russo-Turkish alliance to sweep westward like the Mongols (see Richard Sharp’s marvelous book The Game Of Diplomacy, which I found one day deep in bowels of the Fisher Library.) Very hard to stop.
With a bit of carrot dangling the Italians came on board, but they never seemed to get anywhere. Nor did the Turks, it was a mystery. When the dagger went in Turkey melted like snow in the Sahara. 😀
Kennedy and Kissinger used to play Diplomacy in the White House. Damn fine boardgame.

I am exhausted today. Dance class, quite a drive to get there, coffee with the girls, then a hunt for a JP to sign a Stat Dec re my autistic son. There was a JP in this shopping centre yesterday, said a girlfriend, but he fell off his chair and they had to call an ambulance. That’s because most JP’s are retired old public serpents. Why there can’t be a better system of getting a form signed I don’t know, rather than relying on old age pensioners belonging to some arcane club turning up at libraries or shopping centres to pour over documents and stamp them once they’ve seen your ID. Every post office could do it. For a fee too if necessary. We trust them with the mail don’t we? Instead, we search out these aged folk who keep Biden’s sort of hours, and urgent documents can go hang.
Then I have email converse with my ex about our autistic son and he sends me a tract on how the planet is exploding with the Dreadful Heat which my galivanting around the earth is doing nothing to ameliorate. Too effing bad, I reply, in a more moderated tone than that, but you all know what my deep dark thoughts really were.
Imagine spending 100mil and forgetting to pay for Marcia Langton’s bile duct removing.
The best advice I could give your granddaughter, Crossie, is to put her spare money while she is trying to work up a deposit into a good share fund. At least she’ll get some capital growth over the medium to long term which may help her to keep up. The interest rates on cash deposits are still below the rate of inflation.
I did make some conversation about the Federation drought, and the many bushfires of previous years starting at 1840 or before and extending to the recent conflagrations; conflagrations which it seems Sydney is now trying to halt, given the choking smoke through Sydney on this beautiful calm day as back burning proceeds, not apace though, as they are heaps behind schedule for the vast acreage to be done.
Effing trees. My greenie neighbours are giving me the tom-tits about the sounds of chains saws coming from our place yesterday. Oh the poor trees, etc. Well, that huge cypress was actually under the foundations of our building, I point out, planted as an ornamental fifty years ago, and the other one was dead for twenty feet up in the throng of trees on our property; only the green top showed any life. Oh, but it was green, they moan. Tough titty, I say. I am all admiration for the young man who single-handedly took them out, for paltry cash. Such skill in dropping trees is rare.
And he knows the name of every tree on the place, such scholarship as is not often seen. Luckily, he hates cypress trees.
Bogan.
But are you sure you’re counting correctly? We hear the squeals of the “elites” you’re referring to more often because they are the loudest and get the most airtime on msm. You should be concerned about the reserved people. These are the people who are quiet about their opinions, etc.
I’ll use an illustration. I have a close relationship with a younger individual who works for one of the major US IT companies – in fact probably the largest. Outside, there is constant talk about how left-wing they are and how the staff are proud supporters of the deranged left. Even though the majority lean left, this person believes that the people s/he works with are split roughly 60/40. Right-leaning people are mute and never voice their opinions. A few people mumble that they back Trump. Don’t think that the loudest suggests the rest are leftwing loons.
Marcia Langton sees herself as having a future in the Voice.

I picked a pristine condition copy of it up in the local Vinnies for $2 last week …
One more thing Doc.
Ironically, someone here, who I typically don’t think too highly of, once said something that has always stuck with me as being quite interesting and insightful. He noted that practically all of Europe’s nations experienced extremely turbulent political times after World War One, possibly starting with Italy and the fascists and ending with the Nazis. These two may have been the most loudest, but even the UK experienced a left-wing phase at that time. Roosevelt’s America in the 1930s was mad. For instance, because pork prices had fallen, the US actually had to kill off a sizable portion of its swineherd. It was compelled by the early Roosevelt administration. In the early years, corporatism was very much on the rise in the US.
Now consider how good things were in the Western world during the go-go years following World War 2 up to the turn of the century. We simply experience ebbs and flows. The good times will return.

I suggest you pop over and share your theories with the locals who know the history of their city very well.
Venice by the way is made up of 118 islands.
The diplomacy is off the charts.
An article in Quadrant Online includes extracts from the “other” 25 pages of the Uluru statement from the activists. The quotes make it pretty clear that most of the writing is a reflection of the desires of those activists, with minimal input from the wider indig community.
They all see themselves as parts of the future “Voice”.
What’s really hilarious about the tartarian nonsense is its focus on architecture.
As though western civilisation with its medical, artistic, musical, mathematical, philosophical, scientific, physics, mining, water management, engineering, literature, and so many other discoveries, inventions and innovations developed over more than 2000 years somehow failed in the 19th century and couldn’t knock together a few buildings for world fairs.
So, today Maria Marcia Marcia, in the wash up of her comments about NO voters being racist and dumb, has tried desperately to backtrack on her remarks, and she’s also threatened Peter Dutton with legal action.
Feel all da love?
Sleazy and the Liars should never ever have proceeded with this Voice referendum. We here know this. There’s no way a Hawke or Keating would have touched such a proposition with a barge pole. This Voice claptrap has always been, at its core, about division, about hate, about spite, about lots of money, about vengeance, and about pushing radical leftist policies. Even from its inception, from the so called nonsense that is the “Uluru from the Heart” babble back in 2017, oh and what does “from the heart” mean? It’s just feel good, weasel, shallow words that remind me of a Byron Bay wicca retreat for very wealthy adolescent sixty year olds desperate to try and find meaning in their lives. So, it begs the question, why have Labor pursued this? Well, firstly I suspect they’ve gone all gung ho with it it because they swallowed the May 2022 election result, and they thought the proposal would be an easy-peasy win for them. They were also further emboldened by the Aston by-election win earlier this year. But what I find interesting and disturbing is that Sleazy refuses to distance himself from radicals like Langton and Mayo. He refuses to condemn their rhetoric which means he agrees with the rhetoric of “racists” and “dumb”. Hawke or Keating would never, ever have made the mistake of putting radicals like Langton and May at the forefront of such a campaign.

I think it was you who talked about how much earlier building structures were built—much sturdier and more solid. Was that you?
Is that really surprising, though, when the accomplishment of the modern age is to do more with much less? Modern structures may not appear comparably sturdy, but these things are being built with much less input, all things being equal.
Also, there was an astounding stat the Fed chairman once gave to Congress in his annual Humphrey Hawkins testimony, which was around the turn of the century.
He said that if you picked up all of the previous year’s GDP and weighed it, it was 25% lighter than GDP in 1970. I can’t recall how many fold US GDP increased from say 1970 to 2002.
Yep, the buildings were already there. History has been borked for about 300 years. Time lines have been changed. That includes Australia across the board and the World.
There is a big GAP in history.

There was a OLD WORLD that built all the constructs. A building firm today wouldn’t know to even begin today. So, we’ve gone backwards.
Point taken with a simplified model. It doesn’t detract that the people of the Old World were superior in all shapes and form.

The evidence is piling up, just like the victims of communism, communalism, or whatever fake name you want to give it!
“…the Communists everywhere support every revolutionary movement against the existing social and political order of things… They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions.”
– Karl Marx and Frederick Engels, The Communist Manifesto (Penguin Books, 1985, originally published in 1848), p.120.
It gets worse!
“We would be deceiving both ourselves and the people if we concealed from the masses the necessity of a desperate, bloody war of extermination, as the immediate task of the coming revolutionary action.”
– V.I. Lenin,” Lessons of the Moscow Uprising,” Proletary, No.2, August 1906 (as posted on Marxists.org).
As for violent antisemitism:
What truth is there in this argument? Marx’s essay, On the Jewish Question, originally published in 1844 contains the following:
What is the worldly religion of the Jew? Huckstering. What is his worldly God? Money.…. Money is the jealous god of Israel, in face of which no other god may exist. Money degrades all the gods of man – and turns them into commodities…. The bill of exchange is the real god of the Jew. His god is only an illusory bill of exchange…. The chimerical nationality of the Jew is the nationality of the merchant, of the man of money in general.
Marx argues that, “In the final analysis, the emancipation of the Jews is the emancipation of mankind from Judaism.” Larry Ray explains, “Marx’s position is essentially an assimilationist one in which there is no room within emancipated humanity for Jews as a separate ethnic or cultural identity.” Dennis Fischman puts it, “Jews, Marx seems to be saying, can only become free when, as Jews, they no longer exist.”
Let’s build this!

From the WSJ.
Real-estate startup Roam looks to bring 3% mortgage rates within reach.
Roam, which is set to launch Wednesday, is betting that it can popularize an obscure workaround to a problem for home buyers and sellers alike: mortgage rates that are above 7%. “Assumable loans” allow sellers to transfer their own mortgage loans to the buyer alongside the house. Few consumers know about the option, and fewer still follow through with it. And many lenders are cool to the idea because for them it would mean more work for less money.
The way mortgages are structured (they die when you sell a property & you get a new one when you buy again) is so antiquated.
This last attack looks to have involved 10 cruise missiles and NATO assistance.

What does this one do better?
ftb – that mortgage thing makes sense in the US when rates are rising. Can’t see too many benefits in Oz. I would be surprised if the benefits are anywhere near as great as those stated. The US mortgage market is a very different animal to here, as NAB found out at some expense.
Well, it’s possible seeing that Russia was intimidating cargo shipping carrying Ukrainian grain. Now US warships are there to stop this terrible Russian childish behavior.
You’re not interested as you despise Apple products. So why ask. 🙂
A guess: NATO EW provided targeting for the missiles?
Whoops: EW aircraft. My bad, just finished conquering galaxy when I should be looking up Covid impact on fertility for a friend. Material I found last night was disturbing, big hits on sperm count. The inflammation may have caused permanent damage and ACE2 receptors, the spike protein target, very high in testis.

James Woods is erecting a straw man. It was acknowledged the vaccines can cause myocarditis. Many vaccines can cause myocarditis. The strange thing is that sometimes a particular immune molecule that attracts immune cells, CCL2, targets heart muscles. It is not an autoimmune condition. T cells are not the culprit, monocytes and macrophages are.
not good news
from defending Europe/Ukraine to attacking the Russian Navy
… just like that
This dude is a foreigner and doesn’t appear to understand you cannot treat original owners this way.
Putin should wipe out all of Ukraine’s infrastructure right now. F&ck Zelensky.
Hopefully those protecting him will put a bullet in his brain.
no mate … you just erected a straw-man
nice try though
Some of their products are very good, I’m just not a fanboy.
Ukraine and the Europeans didn’t live up to the grain deal, but none of this has anything to do with the grain deal. Ukraine are looking for something to crow about given their counter offensive has failed at the first hurdle.
I suspect NATO has long had those aircraft over the Black Sea and feeding data to Ukraine. The drone and British RC135 aircraft(surveillance) incident over the Black Sea point to that possibility. Of course nothing can be proved …
You know, I own a IMac which I’ve had since 2016 and it’s running all day everyday. Never a problem. The one before lasted about 8 years. The Mac is great and never had an issue and the iphone 12 same. I also have an Ipad 2 which I never use, but it still appears to work fine.
I have another screen operating Microtheft I use for trading platforms , which is shakey and needs replacing ever couple of years.
My hunch is that we’re not far way from just having a screen as a phone and everything will be on the cloud making smartphones as we know them obsolete.
She is brilliant. Bang!
She had enough of the drunken men.
All books?
Can you tell me which books are bad?
Man, he loves a cantilever.
There is obviously some serious engineering underneath, but he makes them look so light.

Impossible. I haven’t even read paper book on the subject.
People that say Tartaria is fiction are f*ckwits. I am sure of that.
Oh, OK.
My apologies.

I don’t understand the animosity, I use about 1 % of the capability of my android phone.
What do iPhones do to justify the price?
As to mac computers, when you have to have simulators to run programmes what does it tell you?
I’ve built my three desktops since 2004. Never had a problem with them.
I haven’t even read a paper book on the subject…
Sancho is cool.
Tartaria! It’s was real and global. The genius behind the construction. FMD!
People need to chill out and do their own research.

The candyman banned good people, for no reason other than they upset the woman actually running the show.
In your case he was right, man, you are something else.
New OT is up, BTW.
I was thinking of buying a Mac until I found out that the program where I have 30 years of material stored can’t be emulated through Wine. More importantly there are so few games that can run on Macs!

They see themselves as the sole representatives of the Aboriginal People, and the arbiters of Aboriginal Culture.
And controllers of the rivers if Canbrah $$$$, symbolic and/or political power is not enough.
I’d like to see next government run a royal commission into spending on the indigenous folks to see where money actually goes. That’s a good example of “truth-telling” most Aussies could support
