Possibly 99% of women in sport allowing men. pretending to be women, participate in sporting activities instead of walking away. Women have participated in boxing and UFC bouts allowing these men to belt the living daylights out of them.
Some women have walked, not enough to call off these events.

After all, if women vote to allow the trans movement to exist – and they do
When was that vote? I must have missed it. Lizzie, calli, rosie, Pogs….did you vote for this? I doubt it very much.”
I never voted for SSM or Trannies. However, in the interest of making a few extra dollars, I have offered my services to help the transitioners. I was a dab hand at castrating calves and a demon with an elastrator.
Their choice, instant off, or Political rubber band. The latter is so you have time to regret your decision as your jewels swell, turn black, then shrivel and drop off. 😀
I just had a thought! I will name it “The Bowen Band”. hmm, sounds good.
Julie Burchill.
Not the root anything, child abandoning, cocaine fuelled one?
Do I really need to point to polls showing women are more supportive of trans “rights” than men? The Democrat party in the US and the Greens/Teals here would cease to exist if women didn’t vote.
And yes, I’m aware that the women here are smart and courageous but you’re extreme outliers. The men on this site are outliers too – just not as much as the women. I know plenty of men whose views would not be out of place here. I know exactly one woman other than my wife.
As for Andrew Tate I don’t know much about him but I appreciate he tries to shift the Overton window from our current society that holds that all men can be thrown in prison immediately following a “j’accuse” from a woman. When that changes, I’ll happily ask the Andrew Tates of this world to reel it in.
The problem for the RNC is if Trump voters stay home then all the other elections held on the same day will produce Democrat winners. Senate, House, governors, mayors, fire chiefs, dog catchers, you name it. The catastrophe for the Republicans would be vast.
Since the Left intend to steal the election anyway it actually would probably be the best political outcome, since if Biden led the Democrats to a massive sweep of all the races it’d be so totally unbelievable that the Dems would not be able to govern without going full fascist. Which they probably would do, but at least then there would be no doubt that the US republic was dead.
French Prime Minister resigns as Macron reshuffles cabinet in a move to the right.
The Democrat steal is a certainty.
Emboldened by their success in the last election, you can expect them to go over the top this time.
Multiple child-abandoning. And lesbian of convenience.
Cassie – he got the highest number of votes of any Presidential candidate in history.
So what? That doesn’t mean he got the required electoral college votes.
Hilary Clinton got more votes than Trump did in 2016. People forget, she won the popular vote in 2016.
Johanna is right.
About what, exactly?
It was the same sex marriage plebiscite where women voted for it in greater numbers than men. Opponents kept pointing out that approving SSM will simply lead to demands for more and more obscene acts to be given the nod. That was poohpoohed by all SSM proponents and yet here we are.
with a rigged election, a demented puppet in the White House, and further inroads into the destruction of freedom and prosperity in America… and the world.
Just a hunch. The popular vote is finagled in blue states so they can use the popular vote schtick to change the voting system in the future away from the electoral college.
You can’t prove me wrong because American elections can’t be audited . They’re designed that way particularly in blue states. Not an accident but design!
You, ummm, do understand that the progressive movement is dominated by women don’t you?
I should say that there’s one movement where women have been amazing. The anti-vax movement has been largely led by mothers. Men are, overall, slightly less supportive of the vaccine crime than women are but the explicit anti-vax movement – aka the bravest movement in history – is quite gynocentric.
So it isn’t unambiguous but for the most part, women shouldn’t vote.

Undoubtedly
It comes as the state government is being urged to reconsider plans to introduce pill testing across the state.
A bill currently before parliament, introduced by the Greens, is expected to be debated soon after parliament resumes next month.
Of course it’s a Greens bill.
It’s hard to think of a more stupid, useless and dangerous idea than pill testing (unless you look at all other Green slime policies of course).
These drugs are illegal substances sold by criminals. they are either produced in filthy backyard clandestine labs or in large plants overseas and smuggled into the country. There is no quality control or concern about “safety” (whatever that is) or consumer satisfaction. Repeat business is assured despite anything governments do.
Pill testing not only de-facto legitimises drug taking but it has technical flaws that introduce a false sense of security and make taking the pill quite dangerous. These include:
* variable composition of pills so scraping off a little piece is not representative of the whole
* variation in composition in pills in a batch and between batches
* testing can’t detect all possible substances including new drug variants, toxic chemicals and legitimate therapeutic drugs present in pills
* testing one pill as “safe” encourages taking more pills that might not be the same
* testing does not stop people taking many pills and/or in combinations that interact with other substances including alcohol and therapeutic medications.
I’m quite sure that if and when pill testing is introduced there will still inevitably be another incident of mass toxicity. When that happens there will be entertaining lawsuits to be observed with lots of legitimately produced popcorn to hand.
Last two election, people forget the 2022 midterms when Republicans were expected to do well and then nothing. Even a vegetable like Fetterman became a senator over a sane Republican candidate.
Yep, November is going to be catastrophic not just for Republicans but for the world. Democrats insist their opponents are Nazis while goose stepping and throwing their opponents into gulags. Just think how empowered they will feel to throw their weight around the world to push their green and gay/trans/pedophile agendas.

I congratulate the young men involved!
Bruce Lehrmann fled the Sydney Cricket Ground when a pack of men spat and hurled abuse at him and his best mate, days after a woman lobbed eggs at his house on Christmas Day.
Because of the down-ticket races the Republicans and Rupert Murdoch should be getting behind Trump and pushing, right now, since it would be better to lose the Presidency and keep the House and Senate than lose everything when all those base voters fail to turn up to vote. Maybe they will once the primaries are complete. But I don’t think the elites are thinking with their brains – they’re too terrified of having the Tea Party take the Republican Party reins away from them.
How about putting a huge sign at the entrance to these concerts that says “FAFO if you drug is the deadly one”
Your drug, sheesh.

Cmon maaan.
Its “the strangely small craniumed idiot named Andrew Tate”.
The pimp.
Clearly some sort of fertilisation ritual.
there are plenty of grrls out there that are hamming it up as faux-blokes
Women in sport didn’t realise the threat that was burgeoning against them. Now that the truth is coming out, the tide is turning.
Mind you, I’d like to see some fourth rate Rugby player line up against the Maori/Islander gels team we had staying here a while back. May God have mercy on his soul. Still, they’re never going to beat the All Blacks.
On a completely different note, TheirABC ran an article this morning about ant invasions into homes. As it happens, exactly that occurred here last night. A busy line of tiny sugar ants appeared above by bed, where the wall meets the paneling.
This stupid article claimed that it was all about leaving food around, i.e. your typical grubby, unhygenic, unwashed masses. Probably don’t consume TheirABC.
Well, as someone who has lived in many houses and flats experiencing ant invasions, as usual, you are full of it.
My current one is on a wall with no access to food. There’s a big nest nearby and they are looking to expand.
I’ve had several ant invasions in areas where there was no food available,
Years ago, my olds bought a house in the Blue Mountains and after moving in discovered that there were a lot of small black ants, especially in the workshop/garage downstairs (it was a split level). They called in the pest controllers, who gassed the whole house.
Afterwards, there was a coating of ants on everything downstairs, and I’m not exaggerating that there were piles of ants the size of a football. Millions and millions of them. Billions.
I doubt that leaving a few crumbs on the benchtop had anything to do with it.
TheirABC – blaming humans for everything.
Last two election, people forget the 2022 midterms when Republicans were expected to do well and then nothing. Even a vegetable like Fetterman became a senator over a sane Republican candidate.
Most of the Trump backed candidates in 2022 fizzled because they were highly unimpressive.
This argument was kicked off when Burchill was quoted as not only implying Tate was representative of the men’s rights advocates but that such a movement was worthless, in very demeaning terms, questioning this led to hen pecking umbrage and gaslighting.
When fellas say women shouldn’t be allowed to vote, obviously it’s a short cut to what is really meant. It doesn’t apply 100%.
Unfortunately, we can’t tell who should.
It’s estimated the over half the sheilas voting Demonic in the US have issues with mental illness. In other words, stark raving lunatics who shouldn’t be anywhere near a ballot box.
Tell me this isn’t a problem.
The pimp.
Well, it appears the pimp has some supporters here.
Also quintuple vaxxed.
Also says only good women are daughters.
All women are daughters.
Tate.
Curb your Denialist ManPrivilege sir!
A big part of the problem IMO. The prog Sistah’s in quiet support and sympathy for their mates in the LGBTQI freakshow universe remain far too silent in condemning these trans deviants, allowing the movement to thrive and gain influence. Gain power far far beyond their number would sensibly allow.
Tate, is a classic weirdo brain dead misogynist, no wonder he found his natural home in islam.
Normies should never learn these words. I can’t imagine supporting terrorists shooting kids with an automatic weapon at a dance party from a home made gyrocopter.
What did they expect Israel to do in response? Sign a peace treaty?
Simply an observation, calli.
got to listen to too much talk-back radio and a drug harms ‘expert’ yesterday
waffled on about reducing the potential harms from elicit drugs and yay, pill-testing
I might have suggested out loud to the radio, “how about not taking the drugs in the first place? … ya retard”
Creatine has brain benefits. In this experiment remarkable brain benefits in energy provision.
My daughter did her Molecular Biology and Genetics dual degree Honours year thesis at Sydney University over 20 years ago on exactly that topic. The findings for Creatine were quite astonishing and support what you have said.
I observe lots of stuff too, Makka. As Joh says, most goes through to the keeper, as it should.
It pays to see the humorous side of these freakishly generalised arguments.
I love this song.
telling joke at the expense of the fairer sex is ‘rampant misogyny’
and anybody that ever laughed at something Tate said is ‘brain dead’
squawked the women on the forum
all at once
… they’ll probably spend the rest of the day humming to themselves while day-dreaming about ponies
calli, playing the misogyny card here is still as piss weak now as it was when TLS tried it on. The comment wasn’t generalised.
So sorry too much, I didn’t let it go through to the keeper.
That sounds like a very “female” response, Makka! 😀
And Matrix, I’m not given to squawking. My responses were to Figures’ amusing generalisations.
I’m still mooching around here while the banana cake cooks. We women are good for many…many practical things after all.
100%
One Tate and there’s 106,5321 female mental cases. The ratio is too lopsided to ignore.
In a non-feminized society who would tolerate mental cases like bug-eyes AOC, Pelosi and the rest in the female Demonic party? They would be in strait jackets and padded cells at the local mental asylum. These are examples of mentally ill women given a podium.
In an only male voting system, you’d eventually end up with small government where voting would become a non-issue. No one would care.
Perhaps our sarc metres need adjusting , calli.
I have nothing against women voting.
But the universal franchise has been a catastrophe.
If you derive most of your income from the government- no vote
If you are a net taxpayer – get a vote.
Simples.
If this happened then it is a disgrace. Who are these ‘men’ and who organised them?
What do the police have to say about lobbing eggs at someone’s home?
Nothing, of course.
I don’t think much of Bruce, but I suspect he may be innocent of rape.
More to the point, he has never been found guilty of it.
Harris. This air headed slapper one stroke or heartbeat from the OO. How TF did she get there other than with dominant female support- because vagina?
I think Trump won the PV and EC both times, but I’ve been assured dead people voting, typically living in communities on vacant lots, is completely normal and not fraudulent in WI, PA, etc.
To be serious for a moment I don’t believe the latino and black votes in CA either. The scrutineers could be adding +20 D in those communities.
Getting rid of the US Electoral College is much harder than some think as it requires an amendment to their constitution.
Just proposing it requires 2/3 of both houses of congress or a constitutional convention where 2/3 of the states approve. Then 3/4th of the states legislatures (38 states) have to pass it to actually be approved.
Historically, Congress has passed six amendments that never received ratification by the states. The most recent was to give full voting rights to the District of Columbia, which expired unratified in 1985.
There have been 27 successful amendments since 1788, the first 10 of which are the US Bill of Rights. The latest one was in May 1992 and supposedly prevents members of Congress from raising their own salaries.
Indeed. There are stupid men as well as stupid women.
But how would you arrange things otherwise and still be democratic?
A property or taxpayers franchise existed once, but those excluded felt voiceless and argued for a franchise extension. Do we go back to there again? Tinkering with who is in and who is out is very dangerous. Imagine the left deciding only ‘educated’ people could vote, wish I’ve heard some of them push for.
Does that apply to those who identify as male who vote Green/Labor?
Or does it only cut one way?
It’s such a stupid argument, and running it here is even more stupid.
In the sport arena, especially in individual sports, athletes (a) as an old Rugby League official friend of mine used to say, ”he’s not a Rhodes Scholar” and (b) they focus on their speciality and don’t always plug in to what is happening more broadly.
But, it is starting to percolate through. I read the other day that the Olympic Committee has tightened up the rules for alleged ‘trannie’ athletes. If they went through puberty as boys, they’re boys.
Which they are.
Your ‘women are lesser beings’ schtick is better suited to a Hamas site,
Off you f*ck then. 🙂
On franchise:
Perhaps this best applies in the US. Let’s apply this to the US.
Responsibilitism
Net taxpayers vote for the House of Representatives.
The States appoint their own Senators.
The President is elected by military veterans.
How TF did she get there other than with dominant female support
The Lizard People. Duh. Don’t let the League Of Monstrous Women blind you to the obvious facts about who really has their tentacles on the appointments to power in this world.

One man’s ridicule is another man’s joke.
Where do we draw the line and who’s going to draw it?
Zat, I can’t recall where I read it. I think the Federalist, sometime ago. It suggested the blue states are attempting a work-around away from the college to a popular vote system, but I can’t recall the mechanics.
Bruce o Newk touched earlier on wind installations being scrapped. Buck Throckmorton at Ace Of Spades has more..

And this is Bowen’s fevered wet dream for Australia.
That’s unusual for a politician – a sentence with “antisemitism” without “and Islamophobia”.
With one exception most religious groups can laugh at themselves.
Ask a Greens member:
Do you support public (primary and secondary) education?
Is it better than private education?
Do you support a state curriculum?
Does it work well?
Do you think only (tertiary) educated people should vote?
Does that not mean that public school education is a dismal failure?
Would that not mean supporting such a franchise scheme, whilst admitting to said failure beforehand, ought to preclude you from voting?
But how would you arrange things otherwise and still be democratic?
Net taxpayer as only consideration.
You could tinker a bit with single mums etc being based on splitting tax paid between ex & her etc.
But not complicated.
You pay over a certain % of tax (or voluntarily contribute) you vote.
You pay over a certain % of tax (or voluntarily contribute) you vote.
So we buy votes. This is not new.
Yes, my concern would be that the most censorious group, which is also the group our politicians fear the most, would be given the most input into any such legislation or that it would be framed to assuage their feelings over and above all others.
And what do you mean by that?
Of course it would apply. Genetic females wouldn’t be allowed to vote.
This wouldn’t eliminate loons contaminating the voting system because obviously a number of leftwing males are. We’re not talking about elimination, but just harm reduction.
Not to go the full Andrew “microcephaly” Tate but am i a bad person for wondering what sort of noise she makes in the bedroom?

What she did, in print, to Martin Amis was an atrocity. Pretty funny though.
My wife is really smart, known her 52 years. “Known” is a misnomer as I should be able to know what the answer is to a simple question. A yes or no involves all the variables in between. Almost impossible to go shopping with as I don’t want to see all the things she doesn’t like but nothing of what she does. She doesn’t do visual, a written description of something means more. Has no perception of danger. Thinks everyone is as nice as she is. She can’t read people which leads to people taking advantage. Maybe all these things is what still keeps me interested apart from the T&B.
I was going to get an upgrade at the Boxing Day sales. Sold Out.
So I opted for a new B/S one. Still in the trial stages.
That may be but you also forgot Scientologists and South Sydney fans.
So we buy votes. This is not new.
The caveat is, you derive your income from the government – no vote.
Looks like the lost panel/door wasnt a one off.
Somewhere in the design or manufacture there has been a stuff up.
United Airlines finds loose bolts on multiple Boeing 737 Max 9 planes
Aircraft model has been grounded after a panel blew off an Alaska Airlines-operated plane mid-flight on Saturday
…
The industry publication Air Current reported that United found discrepant bolts on other parts on at least five panels that were being inspected following the accident. The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Boeing declined to comment.
“Since we began preliminary inspections on Saturday, we have found instances that appear to relate to installation issues in the door plug. For example, bolts that needed additional tightening. These findings will be remedied by our Tech Ops team to safely return the aircraft to service,” United said in a statement.
….
Boeing shares sank 8% on Monday as the company reckons with the aftermath of the surprising panel emergency. It was the latest setback for Boeing following a series of production delays that have hampered its recovery from a lengthy 737 Max safety grounding in 2019.
The Lehrmann attacks. Who are the planners? So many suspects.
The Left are now comfortable in their belief that public violence is a legitimate tactic that can be implemented with impunity. They are correct.
The Government sanctioned attacks on civil society by the Jew haters has opened the flood gates.
The perpetrators well understand that Labor will never permit investigations into attacks upon the person that they spent millions to have destroyed. Labor want relentless Alinsky guided attacks on Lehrmann in order to divert attention from their corrupt perversion of justice.
The Left has happily threatened our culture by importing US style sanctioned political violence. What’s next? Aboriginal violence? Which would of course be sanctioned by the Trot as a payback against the disobedient electorate.
Yes, green-progressives are the most humourless critters on the planet.
Oh you mean that other religion.

What a load of crap.
I judge Tate on his constant bilge about women on twitter.
The comment about the only good women were daughters was his, and it wasn’t intended as a ‘joke’.
It was me pointing out that all women are also daughters.
His views on Israel alone put him in the don’t bother department.
Meanwhile in the Territory:
Alice Springs has “a suspected murderer on the loose” and police have been urged to do more to assure its Sudanese community that it would find justice for a teenager found dead at a roadside.
Just days after new Northern Territory Chief Minister Eva Lawler said crime was under control in the trouble-stricken town, Alice Springs is on edge over the lack of progress in catching the killer of Yiel Gatluak, who was found with “horrific stab wounds” on New Year’s Day.
The puzzled and frustrated community is awaiting answers from tight-lipped authorities that have left locals and the African community “incredibly concerned”.
The Melbourne-born 19-year-old’s body was found dumped on an access road to Undoolya Station in the early afternoon of New Year’s Day.
Many locals The Australian spoke to on Monday said they were struggling to understand why there was more transparency on crime interstate than there was in the Territory, with the community at heightened levels of fear after an avalanche of youth crime over the past few weeks.
Alice Springs mayor Matt Paterson called on police to give more assurances and transparency to the public and claimed the wider Alice Springs community was scared.
“I understand the police can’t put all the information forward with a continuing investigation, however I think it is imperative that information that can be shared is,” Mr Paterson said.
“At the moment the community are none the wiser with what is happening around a suspected murderer on the loose in Alice Springs.
“The community is rightfully under stress, and just want some answers.”
Ms Lawler landed in Alice Springs on Monday morning for the first time since she took over from Natasha Fyles, who was forced to resign over claims a small share ownership resulted in a conflict of interest.
Ms Lawler, who is less than three weeks into the job, opened a school holiday program ice skating rink on Monday.
Last Tuesday Ms Lawler said crime issues seen in Alice Springs last year were under control, citing higher police presence and more government agency representatives on the ground.
However, of the handful of locals The Australian spoke with on Monday, all disagreed.
The Chief Minister doubled down on the remarks on Monday, saying there had been a reduction in anti-social behaviour and a reduction in assaults.
Former Territory Labor MP and Alice Springs resident Scott McConnell said he “absolutely” believed crime was now worse in the town than the same period last year.
“Myself and the people that I am speaking to on a regular basis do not believe crime is under control in Alice; people are selling their properties, leaving their jobs because they believe there is no control on crime in Alice Springs,” he said.
“I believe that people are right but I respectfully disagree with the Chief Minister that crime is under control.
“There’s a growing hostility among the general members of the community … we’re talking about a fundamental breakdown in civil society, it’s very concerning.”
In the days following the death of Yiel, who was being remembered as a “good bloke full of jokes and laughs”, relatives have gathered at the site where his body was found, praying, singing, holding hands and laying flowers.
“Yiel was a wonderful and a loving son, brother, nephew, uncle, cousin and a true friend to many, who touched the lives of those around him,” Nyakuoar Gatluak wrote on a GoFundMe page set up to raise money for funeral costs.
“His heart was pure and he was always happy and kind to everyone.”

Not biting.
The anti-women crowd here refuse to admit that both Tony Abbot and Donald Trump got significant support from women voters. The ‘having a problem with women’ trope was entirely confected by the MSM, and still is. And you ‘my dick proves I’m right’ morons continue to believe it.
Women voters, who get lumbered with caregiving of children, spouses, parents, grandparents and other relatives are not being irrational in voting for financial help. All those economic rationalists suddenly lose their rag when women do it. Get over it, and stop being selective about what and what is not rational, you big girl’s blouses!
Both here and at Sinc’s, I have had to explain the origins of the Deserted Wives Pension to dickheads who apparently believe that all men are heroic figures. Here’s the news – some of them are arseholes who left their wives and children with nothing but debts and no income.
Please put your superiority where only gay bats congregate.
It’s disgraceful. It seems organised and the Twitter trolls are only laughing because he was working for the “wrong” side of politics.

I’m all for equality, reading a hard copy map and parallel parking should be a necessity for finding the polling booth.
Funny how like gravitates to like and that goes for the left that has just declared its allegiance to Islam with their nasty pro-Palestinian protests.
I think the vote rigging in CA also suppresses the level of female support for Trump.
It’s a game theory problem. They are being rational at the small scale. The NDIS on the other hand is a massive waste and it is irrational. You don’t think men get saddled with this too, less so for the children?
No. I refuse to give up my gift of discernment.
How common was this really?
Why is it even relevant now?
I’m not sure how that debt would be transferred or in what circumstances the wife could always be worse off.
I can’t see a third party being saddled with unsecured personal debt but on the other hand not being able to gain an interest in the net equity of a real property.
All they had to do is say that he is a Jew and the left would have leapt into action.

Good paper about the 930-940 Icelandic volcanic eruption which nearly did humanity in.
Alarmism is so stupid. If you were really worried about threats to life on this rock you would be studying volcanoes and have satellites in orbit with LASERs to destroy asteroids heading our way.

Albo Sleaze finally found out where South East Qld is.
Then realises that there is a far North Qld.
Now he’s realised there is country Victoria.. Boy Qld child now speaking.

No wonder we drink.
Been off the grid for a day (i.e. the internet) and I see 2 sporting legends (and heroes of mine) from the 60s and 70s have passed on.
JPR Williams – magnificent Welsh and British Lions rugby union full back.
Franz Beckenbauer (Der Kaiser) – imperious football sweeper and one of only 3 men who have won the World Cup as a player and as a coach.
RIP to them both.
Oof indeed.
Yep, that’s to prevent a Pinochet style coup overthrowing the Dem one-party state regime. Obama went hard at this and Biden’s guys have been doing likewise despite rearguard action from Sen. Tuberville.
Erdogan did the same thing in Turkey, to protect his islamist takeover from the Kemalists in the military. In Egypt the Muslim Brotherhood didn’t have time to stack the military and were thus booted by Al-Sisi as head of the army.
Fatty Watt now telling us how good the BoM is with forecasting.
Suggesting climate change makes it hard to predict weather.
FMD! I’m heading to the fridge.
If only the BOM did.
Now, wouldn’t that be preempting the review into BOM he’s just ordered?
And now grinning Chalmers is spruiking.
Albo Sleaze has seen the polls and is dragging everyone in to help him.
I don’t believe for a second that Hillary genuinely won the popular vote in 2016 – they just underestimated how much popular support there was for Trump and the margin of cheating required to prevail. They then pulled out all stops for Biden / Obama’s third term, which Hilary is still dirty about.
Just great, arsehole politicians wanting to bring in more laws to fix the problems they created – and inviting Labor to strengthen hate speech laws, what could possibly go wrong. How about you and your fellow prior immigration ministers fund the Jewish leaders’ legal bills as it is chiefly you who have created this problem in Australia.

ADF members don’t get a vote?
On first glance, no.
If you are government funded you dont get to vote for MOAR GOVERNMENT!!!
Not quite. Only leftards get a free pass on public violence. Anyone else gets a ton of bricks dropped on them.

Two I’ve taken little hits on as not available on my new dates.
All in all not so bad assuming hand continues to get back to normal quickly.
I should change my return date too fingers crossed it will just be a rebooking fee.
Good luck with the ending universal suffrage guys.

That’s probably not such a bad idea as there is no way to recycle carbon fibre blades and the alternative is dumping them whole, not cutting them up because that apparantly creates yet more sharp edged bits to endanger everything basically.

The great JPR Williams played in an era when most of the Welsh national side were names Williams or Jones – or so it seemed to this impressionable schoolboy.
Only 74 when he died.
Wolfman’s post led to some reminiscing, including reading this with hairs on the back of my neck standing up:
Cliff Morgan’s commentary of the opening try (BaaBaas v NZ 1973) is considered to be among the best ever.
“Kirkpatrick to Williams. This is great stuff. Phil Bennett covering. Chased by Alistair Scown. Brilliant! Oh, that’s brilliant! John Williams, Bryan Williams. Pullin. John Dawes, great dummy. To David, Tom David, the half-way line! Brilliant by Quinnell! This is Gareth Edwards! A dramatic start! What a score! Oh, that fellow Edwards! […] If the greatest writer of the written word would have written that story, no one would have believed it. That really was something.”
The You-Tube video of the try is just as terrific.
surprised?
I don’t want to start a grammar war but I hate it when people use the term “orientated.” I’ve always preferred the term “oriented” as the former seems redundant.
A Bishop in Venetia told me the term comes from “having everything in order” in facing Christ. That is, facing the orient (a reason most Churches, early ones anyway, faced East).
In that context, “oriented” seems more appropriate? No?
Oh my.

It’s not at the top of my list.
We have a great many issues today that herald major global upheaval. As conflict zones are dominating headlines, the disturbing ascendancy of bureaucratic structures during Covid has faded into the background. We should be aware that the proposal of WHO to get global agreement for its control of health mandates is to be consummated in May this year. This is an historically significant moment for all democratic nations.
Bret Weinstein, the evolutionary biologist and one of the first to signal safety issues in relation to the mRNA vaccines, believes that this is a seminal moment for the integrity of future medical and scientific research. He reflects upon this and the way that the pharmaceutical giants ran the Covid debacle at the behest of ignorant and frightened governments.
He explores all of these issues in an extraordinary interview with Tucker Carlson. The transcript is below – I think it is more illuminating than the interview, since the “devil is in the detail” in comprehending the importance of what is outlined by Weinstein.

Someone raised that possibly here last night and was criticised by God Oracle, who had nothing alternative to offer up.
Aeroplanes are a little more complex than aircon I guess.
It is hard to know exactly what happened, because they aren’t saying if it was a panel replacing the door (which should be fixed to the airframe all round the perimeter) or an installed door which was covered on the interior with the mechanism locked and disabled.
I assumed it was a panel.
If it was the full door, it has hinges at the bottom and I imagine this hinge has some sort of cam mechanism to slide the stop fittings on the door up behind the stop pads on the fuselage frame as the door reaches fully closed position.
Either way, it appears that someone has a few extra parts in their bin back at the assembly plant.
Interesting that, overnight, Boeing cancelled some big management conference and called a company wide safety briefing. Not the actions of people who think they can pin this on a dusky pilot or a maintenance mechanic.
Apropos yesterday’s link to the parlous state of the US’s strategic nuclear capability:
Funny that.
Compulsory preferential voting would be a start. Although hard to see that ever losing bipartisan support anytime soon at a Cth level. Not with primary votes for the majors hovering around the mid 30s.
Some may recall the Aussie Cossack guy who became well known during Sydney lockdowns. Mildly amusing at first.
He has now been holed up in the Russian Consulate for over a year since he sought asylum after a minor assault on a pro Ukraine supporter. He is wanted for the assault.
Despite being a full on propagandist for Russia he was given his own show on TNT Radio. Much to my surprise people like Craig Kelly, Ross Cameron, Avi and Rushkan appeared on his show. They must have thought he was still the anti Vax campaigner they knew from the early days. He became very anti Israel and the few times I saw him everything he said was to benefit interests of Russia. He particularly took shots at Avi.
Finally TNT Radio have woken up as he and his show are no longer showing on their web page. For me it was a serious credibility issue having him feature so prominently on their station.
Hopefully he will fade into oblivion and people like Craig Kelly etc stay away from having anything to do with him.
infinitely sad news I’m not flying out tonight.
Done some nerve damage to right hand/wrist.
Damn bad luck, rosie. Hope it can be fixed up sufficiently to resume your plans.

Good point, Anders. Past conservative leaders should not get a free pass on this one.
Useless information day….pop. of USA 330mill….number of cars 280 mill….80% of pop. has a car. pop. of China 1.4 bill…number of cars 312 mill….25% of pop. has a car. If the number of car owners goes to 80% in China they will have 1.12 bill. cars on there roads.

Some of the other proposals are never going to happen either. For example, re military veterans/ retired military and the senate, net taxpayers only (which would exclude most military) and an “education” level, which would be open to the wildest manipulation by leftards.
Stick with universal suffrage, try to minimise the inpacts of the dubious voters.
The two options that, while retaining universal suffrage, might ameliorate the worst of its undesirable effects, would be non-compulsory voting and optional preferential voting. Push for those, not for some imagined nirvana that will never get up.

Illegal drugs are now cheaper and more accessible than 20 years ago. Ordinary life or not drugs can enhance certain experiences. There is no easy solution to this problem. People get drunk and become violent, people take drugs and do stupid things. Most people are sensible. How much must we ban to protect the sensible people from the morons?
You Tube (I don’t know why) keeps on pushing me to watch a video essay about how Falling Down is propaganda against becoming “too” dissatisfied with society.
I’ve never considered that. It was hugboxing and tone policing us all along?

I’ve always thought voting should not be compulsory and should be held on a week day, not a weekend.
I want to know if those who OD’d took copious amounts of MDMA – as in three to four times the normal amount of pills.
I mean, if you go suddenly from getting blotto on half a bottle of gin (11+ standard drinks) to downing two in a night (44+ standard drinks) you’re going to have a bad time. You will likely die without medical attention.
Sure sure.
On the subject of Islamophobia, a phobia is an irrational fear.
It seems to me that the main sufferers of Islamophobia (irrational fear of Islam and Muslims) in Australia are politicians (particularly leftists), police, bureaucrats, academics and the media.
Most other Australians have an entirely rational concern about the actions of far too many Muslims in Australia. That is NOT Islamophobia.
I despise preferential voting.
Having it compulsory is just rubbing salt into the wounds.
