Happy Australia Day to all.

Now I am off to sleep.

Good night all.

There was a young lady named Bright
who could travel much faster than light.
She went out one day
in an Einsteinian way
And returned home the previous night.

Happy Australia Day Cats.
May your rissoles be round and your pav rise to great heights

Right on cue. FMD.
Have a great Australia Day.

Almost get the feeling he was cajoled into writing this.

I’m having a hard time believing he wrote the first draft, or even the first edit.
Maybe a proof read before approval.
What a dose of platitudinous pap!
It’s the level of prose you’d get on a mid year exam at a public high school.
I suppose he may have written it then.

Who is the worst recipient of 2024 Australia day gong?

Tough call.

I’ll go the soy boy dictator with the “I’m a tough guy with tatts” look.

A bloke whose doctrine and governance , along with those of his grotesque boss,
flew in the face of the foundations upon which this country became so fkn good.

Feelthebern.
In case you’ve forgotten, the liquorice is in a container in the cupboard behind the vinegar & uncle bens rice.
You’re welcome.

Happy Invasion Day from the Lads everyone.

A day when law and order, modern technology and modern medicine invaded a continent that had unfairly missed out for far too long.

H/T oco or Bern (I think) from a couple of years ago.

Was having a beer with a few mates yesterday arvo and one of them, a lady who owns and runs a cafe and catering business, said she got pissed off earlier in the week after she rang up her 2IC to find out how the Australia Day deorations were going, only to find out it wasn’t going. Because 2IC ‘wasn’t sure’ and a few other wishy washy excuses. Words to the effect ‘I am coming to the cafe and all the staff WILL put up the the Australia Day decorations.’
Her thing is that if people are offened, then it is their choice to stay or leave. And also ‘if I only cater to a narrow section of customers instead of the majority, I would be broke.’
Then the subject lead to vegans and the menu.
There are choices for vegans on the menu, but the fried choices are cooked in the same oil as the animal and fish products.
Interesting yarn and a good laugh at the perpetually offended.

Harold Scruby didn’t get a mention?

Margot Robbie was snubbed by the AOTY commitee!

Mildly amusing with the awards in the military division are two shiny bums had their names redacted.

why the eff would their names be redacted? My God defense is really another branch of the canbra abomination with its transexuals, diversity and exclusion etc etc.

I suspect it might be to protect them and their families from being doxxed and attacked by the same crowd who protested on the Opera House steps on 9th October last year. I can just imagine them assembling on the recipiepient’s front lawn to chant “Baby killer”, “War criminal” or similar.

What sort of a country have we become when our most honoured military personnel have to be hidden so as not to inflame the passions of a section of the population that refuses to become Australian? Why are we indulging them? Have we ceded control to these grubs?

DC SWAMP EXPOSED. PART 1 – D.C. Blackmail:

A Capitol Hill intern reveals how members of Congress are coerced to vote a certain way through blackmail and extortion after affairs & sex parties: “Cawthorn wasn’t lying neither”

O’Keefe Media Group founder James O’Keefe has discovered that nothing is as it seems when it comes to Congress Members’ voting patterns, the staffers they hire, or their activity outside of Congress.

Meet Titus Warren, a Democrat working for Republicans in Congress. These Republicans do not care about Warren’s political views or the potential of him tipping off the other side. In fact, Titus states that he “loves” Nancy Pelosi and believes that Donald Trump “needs to die.”

Still, his employers don’t seem to care how he thinks. While Titus says he keeps these details to himself, he is “sure” that his boss knows his political views, considering the fact that a photo of Nancy Pelosi sits proudly on Titus’ desk.

“Every time I see her, or we run into each other, you know, sometimes I’ll even go into her office, then I’ll just go in her candy bowl,” said Titus before confirming that Pelosi knows him and “loves” him as he “loves” her.
Titus also boasted that he gets to attend “a lot of embassies and a lot of events at the White House” and that he loves Joe Biden.

When asked how Republican constituents might respond to his viewpoints, Titus said, “If they do [care], they can kiss the crack of my ass because I don’t care.”

What’s worse is that most Congressmen in D.C. don’t actually think for themselves but rely on staffers like Titus and their advisors to guide them in decision-making. Or they rely on outside influences, such as blackmail, which uses their sexual wrongdoings while “serving” the American people.

Titus was able to provide us with good intel on the inner workings of Congress and how members of both parties are coerced to vote a certain way through what he called a vote “suggestion.” But these so-called suggestions aren’t suggestions at all; they are much more nefarious ways of blackmailing members of Congress who have engaged in affairs on their spouses or downright sex parties with other members, according to Titus. “There’s a lot of things that I see with my own eyes,” he told James O’Keefe.

“Madison Cawthorn wasn’t lying neither,” said Titus as he explained that most Congress Members are married, but “they have affairs with other congresspeople… And they have like parties and stuff.” Titus then confirmed that these alleged parties get “hot and heavy.”

Though he said he’s never gone to one of these parties or been invited, Titus contends “that is a fact” and an open secret. “It happens a lot more than people think,” he noted before telling us that he thought it was a fiction or a “joke” before he began working in Congress.

“A majority of members that come late are 9/10 times hungover from the [sex parties] the night before,” Titus added.

These parties are then used to gain leverage over the officials to pressure them to vote for the Swamp’s preferred policy and against unfavorable policy.

But this leverage is not only used to change votes in Congress. It seemingly applies to election season, too, as Titus explains, “If you ever run for office, and you’ve been where I am, you would use that as leverage to win your campaign.”

As reported by The Gateway Pundit, Madison Cawthorn revealed in March 2022 that he was invited to a “sexual get-together” or an “orgy” at a D.C. elite’s home. He also alleged that “some of the people leading on the movement to try and remove addiction in our country” were often doing cocaine right in front of him. This caused a stir within the House of Representatives. Cawthorn was then smeared as a liar, threatened with consequences by then-Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, and removed from Congress in the next election.

We reached out to Madison Cawthorn for his reaction to Titus’ bombshell assertions:

CAWTHORN: “Well, I mean, I’ve never been to a party like this; I got invited to them. My instant reaction to that is, you know, especially the blackmail piece that it seemed like this individual was talking about in this piece, that’s something that I experienced firsthand. It’s kind of a laden threat. It’s kind of just an understood thing in Washington. It’s not something that’s ever really said to you, but it’s well known that people can always have leverage points on you.” “People only want to put you in compromising situations so that they can have leverage over you so they can control your vote.”

Titus said the media either does not know about this blackmail scheme or “they’re not allowed to run these stories.” It would seem more likely the latter.
Titus further related this sexual conduct in Congress to former Democrat Staffer Aidan Maese-Czeropski, who was terminated by Senator Ben Cardin (D-MD) after the staffer’s hardcore gay sex tape filmed in the Hart Senate Office Building surfaced. “That actually did not happen the day it came out,” said Titus, indicating that the sex tape was filmed months earlier and used as leverage against Senator Cardin or Aidan Maese-Czeropski.

When asked if he feels guilty about what he sees in Congress or being a secret Democrat working in a Republican office, Titus responded, “I get my check, and I’m good,” while stipulating his lust for buying expensive items such as Louis Vuitton handbags and fashion accessories from other high-end stores like Chanel. “All my money that I’m saving now is for me to go to the Hamptons every weekend of the Summer.” While shopping at Burberry and David Yurman, two high-end fashion stores in Washington, D.C., Titus told us more about the D.C. sex parties, saying, “It’s not a conspiracy.” He continued, “It most definitely happens. And It’s normal.”
Surprisingly, when asked outside of the jewelry store, David Yurman, Titus did not recognize James O’Keefe or realize that everything he told us was being recorded.

Who is the worst recipient of 2014 Australia day gong?

Adam Goodes

You beat me to it. A man who can terrorise a thirteen year old girl is not even fit for civilisation let alone to be an AOTY. Those who chose him obviously have the same attitude to thirteen year old girls or they would have reconsidered.

DEI: making college unaffordable

Interesting feature in the Algernon Talmage 1937 Sydney Cove picture: the stumps of five neatly felled trees.

Has anyone yet decried it as the first desecration of a sacred site – those trees had been the abode of some ancestral reptiliform deity.

The objection that it is not an accurate depiction – as a photograph would be – can be dismissed as lifeless prosaic white male thinking. In fact the country is riddled with things that never happened but for which white men are to blame.

Scientists warn of ‘Arctic zombie virus’ fixing to escape thanks to global warming

It’s official: “Scientists” have completely abandoned the established methods of their discipline and decided to peddle science fiction instead.

I mean, just in the last two weeks alone, I’ve read about the umpteenth iteration of Covid, a “mutant” variation created by Chinese scientists that is apparently “100%” fatal in test animals; the “Disease X” games that the Self-Imagined Elites played at Davos, while in between their drug and hooker binges (arguably the two dirtiest and most germ-spreading activities); and now this, the “Arctic zombie virus” that lurks in the ice of Siberia, fixing to escape at any moment as the ice thaws, thanks to we little people and our earth-killing first-world lifestyles.

One thing is for sure, there is no way the French (or the Dutch or the Spanish or the Portuguese) would have been as humane towards Aborigines as the British

It’s a good thing the Nipponese weren’t big on natural philosophy
or have a Royal Society, otherwise it would’ve been the Red Seal Fleet,
not the First Fleet.

Early night last night.

A taste of things to come. Thank you Mr Bowen, you addlepated wombat of a man. I just hope all the greenies around here had to do without also….for the glorious Cause.

If only they could/would solely confine the blacouts to the greentard electorates.

Good Lord Pogria Ace Of Spades at it again.

Fani Willis’ beat-up brokedown busted-out snuzz looks and smells like a fairgrounds after a Phish concert.

She’s bringing that sad droopy old meat-tuba in a wheelbarrow.

(Style note: A snuzz is the old, brokedown, obese cousin of snizz.

Like “Mooseknuckle” is camel toe’s ugly older sister.)

Chortle

The cyclone the BOM named before it had actually formed has disappointed the media ghouls.

Thank you Mr Bowen, you addlepated wombat of a man.

And there are now protests coming in from many wombats around the country about the use of the word wombat in the above.

No problems with the word bowen or addlepated though.

Speaking of the BOM, the FWC has backed it in sacking a scientist who logged in from Austin, Texas for several weeks while pretending to be working from home in Australia.

It seems his absence was finally noticed when he failed to turn up in person at a meeting he was supposed to chair (!).

Despite the fellow having interposed several levels of subterfuge to conceal his whereabouts from his employer, the Fair Work Commissioner, while rejecting the applicant’s appeal for wrongful dismissal, opined that the man’s intentions “may have been honourable.”

Okay, Zulu. I thought the Red Duster was flown by the Navy back then and adopted much later by the merchant marine.

I wonder which squadron Cook/Phillips belonged to ? From wikipedia

Prior to 1864, red, white, and blue were the colours of the three squadrons of the Royal Navy, which were created as a result of the reorganisation of the navy in 1652 by Admiral Robert Blake. Each squadron flew one of the three ensigns. In addition to the Admiral of the Fleet (who was Admiral of the Red), each squadron had its own admirals, vice admirals and rear admirals, e.g. Lord Nelson was Vice Admiral of the White at the time of his death.

The red squadron tended to patrol the Caribbean and north Atlantic, the white the coasts of Britain, France and the Mediterranean, while the blue patrolled the south Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans. The flags of the various former British colonies often have grounds of the same colour as their protective squadron. Hence Bermuda has a red ground and Australia and New Zealand blue. Canada’s flag was a red ensign from founding until the adoption of the maple leaf flag in 1965.

To call those bedraggled people “invaders’ is not just a bad joke

You have to wonder at the intelligence of folk who loudly admit they were bested by a motley gathering of half starved, after 6 months on leaky boats “invaders” ..

And what’s worse is they were mostly Poms.
Oh, the humanity!

Almost get the feeling he was cajoled into writing this.

Firstly, he has a speechwriter, or several, to write such things for him.

He then signs off on their work.

Secondly, he’s a proven liar.

Sorry, from the Spectator.

They’re not about sinking ships, but about controlling passage through the Red Sea.

So the US Navy isn’t limping back to San Diego then?

Glad we got that cleared up then.

I was just watching Tucker Carlson’s Canadian speech and he said that Gavin Newsom is Justin Trudeau’s cousin. If true, doesn’t this just confirm that they are the new aristocracy? Meritocracy is gone, being related to the elite is how you get there, just like in feudal times.

For services to slugs.

The country wasn’t built on people being grateful or ungrateful or any other self-centred feelz indulgence.

Gratitude isn’t self-centred indulgence.

It is the opposite.

And to experience emotions is part of what it means to be human rather than a mere automaton.

What is necessary in regard to emotions is to properly order them according to sound moral principles.

Shipping has halved through the Red Sea. Chinese and Russian ships are passing through unmolested.

What evidence do you have that it’s halved or doubled even? Not claims by Sagittarius the warlord, on Twitter?

The incident that occurred in early-mid Jan was based on mistaken public info relating to the ships.

What public info was that?

We’ve been though this before and for some reason you’re going back to it.

The Houthies are winning.

There’s almost no impact on the US and in fact it could be a positive in trade terms. What are they winning?
