I get the feeling the Lib-Nat-ALP in Vicco are all one party. The chick who’s name escapes me who had an ALP lover and ‘worked’ for red Ted and now a state Nat MP.

The ruling caste.

My MP is Chris Bowen. Nuff said.

So what happens the next time we have sex?

…the most obvious and disgusting example being Boris Johnson rushing to Ukraine to scuttle any peace agreement.

I’m sceptical. I just can’t see the allegedly cunning Atlanticists entrusting their epochal anti-Russian project to a flake* like Boris Johnson.

If a deal ever was on the table in Istanbul, Ukraine backed away because their constitution prohibits surrendering land without a referendum and at the time that just wouldn’t fly at home.

* an unreliable oddball, in Johnson’s case already well known for his whimsical arbitrariness as British PM. Johnson’s trip was likely more about the UK than Ukraine.

A thumbs up from me, P.

How do people form an opinion on the difference between boys/girls only schools and co-ed schools .. ?
I went to a boys only HS and have no idea what going to a co-ed school would be like ..

I think the shrill protestations yesterday about the demise of the ticks were very revealing.

Get along to Spec Savers. They were thumbs you dumb dumb. BTW. Who were the moaners? The down thumbers themselves. How funny that is and ha ha.

I thought this might be the Bee, but no it’s real.

A thought crossed my mind about the stabbing of the woman in Queensssland.
A big mystery as to why it escalated to a murderous stabbing even after she had handed over the car keys.
She was described as a religious teacher and was buying snacks for a Bible class that night.
I wonder if she was wearing some overt sign of her Christianity.

You believe wearing a cross or something may have triggered young Jebediah into stabbing her to death?

It’s time for Australian customers to have the right to buy the car they want. He’s such a total hypocrite it’s breathtaking he can utter this Orwellian fascist rubbish without cringing at what he’s saying.

Mr Blackout Bowen. I have a steam car on order. Should be here quite soon while you will be on the way out the back door in 2025.

Young, woke left hateful new face of anti-Semitism

For years the right-on have been warning about the rise of racism. Beware red-faced white men who moan about mass immigration, they say. Watch out for populist politicians and their witless supporters in the masses, they cry. For it is from within these ranks, from within this army of the unwoke, that fascism is likely to emerge.

Watch out, the 1930s are coming back – that’s been the constant cry of the politically correct these past few years.

And yet when fascist-like language really did re-emerge, it came not from some old white bloke but from a youngish and very left-wing woman. When 1930s-style talk really did rear its ugly head, it wasn’t courtesy of an ageing conservative with a chip on his shoulder about illegal immigration, but a hip politico beloved of the smart set.

I am referring, of course, to Jenny Leong, the Greens MP for the state seat of Newtown in Sydney’s inner west.

This week a video emerged showing Leong speaking at a “pro-Palestine” forum in Sydney in December. What she said at that meeting was genuinely chilling. She raged against the “Jewish lobby”. These people, she said, “rock up to every community event and meeting” to try to make a “connection”.

Then came her killer line, a line that will have sickened everyone who has even the faintest acquaintance with the bleak history of anti-Semitism. They meddle in everything, she said, because they want their “tentacles” to reach into every nook of society in order that they might “influence power”.

There it was. “Tentacles”. The old, obscene vision of the Jewish people as an octopus-like monstrosity straddling the world, interfering everywhere. This is the most racist thing I have heard a mainstream politician say.

Yes, it’s good that Leong has walked back her comments. She now admits the word “tentacles” was “inappropriate”. That’s one way of putting it. I prefer “disgusting”. It has direct echoes of Nazi-era cartoons that likewise showed the Jews with “tentacles” encircling the globe.

Leong’s expression of (half-hearted) regret for her remarks should not detract from what a serious situation this is.

To my mind, for a public figure to speak ominously of Jewish “tentacles” is no better than if a public figure compared black people to monkeys or branded Chinese-heritage people a “yellow peril”. Just imagine if an Aussie politician uttered such vile slurs. There would be uproar from the right-on. That politician would be cancelled into oblivion.

This hasn’t happened for Leong. That the self-styled anti-racists of the woke left just carried on sipping their macchiatos is so revealing. It confirms their staggering double standards. They’ll hit the streets over certain kinds of racism, but turn a blind eye to the world’s oldest racism.

“Jewish tentacles” were a key motif in Nazi propaganda. As Abraham Cooper of the Simon Wiesenthal Centre says: “The nefarious Jew/octopus was a caricature deployed by Nazis as a staple in their hateful campaign.”

The rehabilitation of this vile image should horrify everyone. And strikingly, it was rehabilitated not by some hard-right loudmouth, but by a self-described anti-racist. Leong is a loud and proud critic of racism. She supports Black Lives Matter. “If you’re sick of us talking about racism, imagine how sick we are of being subjected to it,” she once said.

What is going on here? How do we explain this bizarre phenomenon – what we might call “anti-racist anti-Semitism”?

Leong is not the only “anti-racist” who seems to have a colossal blind spot when it comes to anti-Jewish racism. We’ve seen Black Lives Matter praise Hamas. BLM Chicago even tweeted an image of a Hamas paraglider, celebrating those who flew into Israel on October 7 to carry out the worst slaughter of Jewish men, women and children since the Holocaust.

This week it was revealed an “anti-racist” member of staff at the BBC once tweeted about Jews being “Nazi parasites”. At demonstrations across the West, we’ve seen supposed anti-racists march alongside radical Islamists who holler for “jihad” against the Jewish state. Here in London, posh leftists have chanted in support of the Houthis, the Yemeni movement whose flag literally has the words “Curse the Jews” on it.

And, as violent anti-Semitism has soared, anti-racists have looked the other way. The kind of people who scream at white men with dreadlocks (that’s “cultural appropriation”) and damn those who ask ethnic-minority people where they are from (that’s a “racial microaggression”) have been schtum as synagogues in Europe have been firebombed and even when a man with a knife threatened Jews outside a kosher shop in London recently.

Anti-racists flirting with racism – it feels surreal. But here’s the most troubling thing: it’s more than a blind spot. It’s more than hypocrisy. Rather, the strange spectacle of “anti-racist anti-Semitism” speaks to how rotten the politics of identity has become.

This left-wing ideology dolls itself up as “anti-racist”, but it is the opposite. It doesn’t seek to deliver us into a post-racial world, a la Martin Luther King, where true equality reigns. No, it divides us by our ethnic heritage, separating us into boxes marked “oppressed” or “privileged”.

The “oppressed” get the left’s love, while the “privileged” get their hate. And who’s in the “privileged” box? White men, naturally. Heterosexual men. “Cis” people. And, you guessed it, Jews.

Indeed, in the warped worldview of these racial authoritarians who masquerade as progressive, Jews are the most privileged of all.

A recent Harvard/Harris poll in the US found that 67 per cent of 18-24-year-olds – the woke young – view Jews as an “oppressor class”. This, too, echoes a feverish belief of the 1930s – namely, that Jews love to stomp their oppressive boot on the peoples of the world.

Today, entire ethnic groups are demonised, not by the ranting far right, but by a mainstream left that ruthlessly sorts us into the categories of “good” or “bad”.

Identity politics is the enemy of equality. It is the new means through which Jews in particular are singled out as suspect, branded as wicked. Tackling this bigoted left creed should be the top task of everyone who opposes racism, in all its devious guises.

Who was it who said the Greens movement was simply fascism, thinly disguised?

Her qualifications for the top job in Victoria are a Bachelor of Arts degree from Latrobe University and a part time job bagging groceries at a Coles supermarket.

Fortunately Latrobe graduates are rare outside Victoriastan. This can only be a good thing.

Rinse and repeat for 80% of today’s pollies I would have thought.

My local member is a Teal who was down at Law School in the 90s when I was knocking around. Consequently I haven’t much to say. In her case it might be family, uncle Red Fred and Dad for a start.

Disgraced former Perth Wildcats star Tiny Pinder is due to learn his fate next month after he admitted to charges including rape and recklessly causing grievous bodily harm.

Kendal Nathaniel Pinder faced the District Court in Sydney on Friday for a sentencing hearing charged with aggravated sexual assault, sexual intercourse without consent and recklessly causing grievous bodily harm.

He has pleaded guilty to the offences and appeared via video link during the hearing. The judge in the case is now due to hand down his sentence on March 8

“Tiny” Pinder? Any Sandgroper Cats remember that name?

Seems quiet for a Saturday morning.

Hopefully one result will be less drama because simply won’t be able to see reaction at all. Then however we might get drama from people saying why no reaction or not enough. Or could get more involved in stoushes as can no longer show support by where ticked.

Errrrrrrrr. They were thumbs.

I am referring, of course, to Jenny Leong, the Greens MP for the state seat of Newtown in Sydney’s inner west.

Tomorrow, from an email notification –

Unhappy members of the Jewish community will gather outside the Newtown office of Greens MP, Jenny Leong on Sunday at 12pm, after her antisemitic claim about the ‘tentacles of the Jewish lobby.’

AJA hears that Octopus costumes have been ordered and that whoever decides to attend should think about brining tentacles themed attire.

The silence yesterday by some, in the face of the Queanbeyan resident’s nasty words spoke volumes to me.

This may be based upon an erroneous assumption that the entire Cat commentariat reads every post, including wordwalls.

Such reading may not be the case. I for one have no idea which post or comment is being referenced – likewise was unaware that I’m supposed to know which comments are deemed important (justifiably or not) by another.

Not saying at all that the complaint isn’t justified – just that I’ve no idea which comment, or even by which commenter, I’m supposed to react to with support.

NB: Working with tonnes of females, I’m well accustomed to “If you don’t know why I’m mad at you, then I’m certainly not going to tell you” – followed by folded arms & truculent silence.

Total mystery why men drink, use tools, & talk racing, dogs, truck horsepower & tare weights etc with each other.

Anyway my bet is the stabber will get less than 10 years. The other gang members maybe no time at all.

Whatever he getz you can guarantee it’ll have .. not to be transferred to an adult facility at 18 .. added …….

What it says is that most people scroll through other people’s fights.

Anyway, I finally endured the Putin Interview and here’s my take.

1. Putin is a rambling old man.

2. Putin sounded like a person who has never had to face tough questioning.

3. Tucker, at times looked like he felt he was going to be murdered before he left the room.

4. Half of Putin’s answers were total bullshit.

5. Nothing out of the interview came out that we didn’t already know.

A pub is many things – simple is not one of those things.
Your casual disparagement of what it takes to get into & to keep afloat a small business, is unbecoming of one who claims to be a libertarian & to support free enterprise.

Not at all. I’m very fond of people running businesses, and although I inherited (not started) a half-ownership in a ~ 50-year-old business, I’m pretty well in tune with the problems and the needs. What I’ve always demonstrated is an aversion to bullshit, self-aggrandizement, and blowharding. You would be aware of that by now.

Character, or lack of it, always shows.

Most certainly, it shows.

Unbecoming – however we’ve learned to not expect any better of you.

Or more pertinently, we’ve never seen even a slither of character from you. And boy does it show whenever we get a gust of blowharding.

Your problem, being a vulnerable narcissist, is that you think people should believe any bullshit you post. That’s just not going to happen, and you should get comfortable with this by now after we’ve all been through.

Perhaps a useful replacement for up ticks and down ticks would be EMOJIs!

We can smile, cry, do dog poops with eyes and even egg plants (snicker).

Or reinstate ticks but have the ticker’s screen name show up so there is no hiding?

Is Ford trying to be the Julius Streicher of Melbourne or something. Something serious wrong with that repulsive waste of space. Evil.

Forensic breakthrough leads to charges over Mosman Park home invasion in 2001
Hannah CrossThe West Australian
Sat, 10 February 2024 11:50AM

Advances in forensic technology have led to a man being charged over a terrifying home invasion in Perth’s western suburbs more than two decades ago.

The aggravated armed robbery took place at a Mosman Park home on the night of May 8, 2001, when two men allegedly entered the home of the victim, who was in his 30s at the time, through an open front door about 10.45pm.

Police say one of the men armed themselves with a kitchen knife and threatened the resident during the horrific ordeal, demanding money and personal property.

The two men allegedly stole several items including mobile phones, cash and cigarettes, before fleeing the scene.

Police say the pair was not known to the victim and the investigation at the time failed to identify any suspects.

But special crime squad detectives made a breakthrough in the case — almost 24 years later — thanks to new forensic technology.

An item of interest was re-examined with the new technology, resulting in a positive match for a 44-year-old man.

A certain duo are protesting a little too much about how dreadfully horrid up/down ticks were.

And you’ve been whining about it since the announcement. Wonder no more.

Someone on Discord was saying Driller was part of a message group alerting each other to tick this or that.

Ordinarily, I would discount this, but seeing it’s Driller and his obvious unethical nature, it would be more than likely the story has legs.

And you’ve been whining about it since the announcement.

Citation required.

Again, dunno if this is true or not as it was posted this morning at Discord how the snivelers were manipulating the ticks. It was like a mini-version of vote harvesting.

Apparently this is how they were gaming the ticks.

It appears people like Woddenhead spent their entire days doing this. What a life.
