Judge Merchan just told the jury that they do not need unanimity to convict. 4 could agree on one crime, 4 on a different one, and the other 4 on another. He said he would treat 4-4-4 as a unanimous verdict.
Wow.
Just wow.
Minerva -the name of a convict ship that dropped my lot in Hobart in July 1818.
According to Wiki, Minerva is the Roman goddess of wisdom, justice, law, victory and the sponsor of arts, trade and strategy.
She is also a goddess of warfare.

Other than a couple of Arab accounts no-one is reporting that the MINERVA ANTONIA has sustained damage? On its way to Egypt.

“Lindsay has made over 600 donations to the Red Cross Blood Transfusion Service. He recommends you do the same. His philosophy is that if you draw blood, the least you can do is to give some back.”

And as the air begins to cool, they rise. Groups of swallows, scribing arcs in the evening air, their soft voices calling for a response. In this part of Spain these migratory birds are everywhere. The heat keeps them hidden …only as the setting sun takes its daily journey do they appear.

Several degrees of separation to the west of calli, the Sicilian Prince and my good self have wound up our wonderful ten days with family on the outskirts of Milan.
Our apartment was in the Commune of Magenta and the entire place was gearing up for a big reconstruction this weekend, of the famous Battle of Magenta that ended the Second War of Italian Independence on June 4th, 1859.
It resulted in a French-Sardinian victory under Napoleon III and Patrice de MacMahon (*que?) against the Austrians under Marshal Ferenc Gyulay and the Prince of Montenuovo.
We also spent an afternoon wandering Boffaloro sul Ticino where fighting actually began on the evening prior. Gelato and coffe were also involved, something denied to the unfortunate soldiers awaiting their fate. The French Sardians were at a numerical disadvantage and the losses on both sides were considerable. A local Municipio building still is decorated by the giant holes punched in it by cannonballs during the battle.
Paddy MacMahon ended up as Duke of Magenta and President of France eventually. An interesting result of Irish immigration to France. The Rue de Magenta in Paris also commemorates this victory.
As an artistic side note, a red-pink dye discovered three years previously, and known as triaminotriphenyl carbonium chloride was renamed Magenta in honour of the unexpected victory because of the blood soaked battlefield and the colour created by blood on the blue imperial jackets. I’ll never look at paint tubes of Magenta in quite the same way after that.
A bit disappointed to miss the raucous celebrations but we have somewhere else to be that involves another foray onto the Italian train system. More updates pending.
* highly amusing listening to the various attempts by the locals to pronounce such an overtly Non-Italian name. Some of the more talented manage to make it sound totally local, but it always manages to make me laugh.
‘Issue with racism’: ABC’s chief political correspondent doubles down on comments suggesting Australia is a racist country
The ABC’s chief political correspondent insists Australia has an “issue with racism” after it was revealed she had been “counselled” by the broadcaster’s news director over her comments at an event last weekend.
Laura Tingle made controversial comments at the Sydney Writers’ Festival when she was asked to comment on Opposition Leader Peter Dutton’s policy about migration and the economy, including housing.
“I did indeed make the observation on Sunday that we are a racist country, in the context of a discussion about the political prospects ahead,” she said in a lengthy statement on Wednesday.
“I wasn’t saying every Australian is a racist. But we clearly have an issue with racism.”
Drew Pavlou asks a good question…..
What kind of sicko fakes a hate crime?
Many Muslims and leftists do. The American journalist Andy Ngo has observed and chronicled a long list of Muslim and leftist ‘hate crimes’ which all turned out to be fakes.
Of course, the most sensational fake hate crime of recent years was Jessie Smollett.
I read many years ago in the New Yorker that the insurance for a gynecologist was $1 million per annum. No doubt more now and representative of the cost of medical practice, especially in Tort mad USA.

Darwin man jailed for inadvertently killing Wadeye brother
A Darwin man who, after a heavy session of drinking, kicked his brother in the back, inadvertently perforating the victim’s pancreas and kidney, has been sentenced for the tragic death.
Jingili man Peter Kinthari, who is in his early 40s, pleaded guilty in the Supreme Court of the Northern Territory to a charge of engaging in a violent act causing death.
The victim was his brother, who is referred to as TK for cultural reasons.
The offence occurred at Kinthari’s Jingili residence on August 3, 2022, with TK expiring the following day from catastrophic internal bleeding caused by a fractured rib perforating his right kidney and pancreas, Justice Judith Kelly told Kinthari’s sentencing hearing on May 20.
On the day in question, TK and his family had flown from Wadeye to visit Kinthari and his family, and the group began drinking heavily.
After 9pm, TK “got upset” at Kinthari, Justice Kelly told the court.
“Nobody seems to know why,” she said.
TK challenged a reluctant Kinthari to a fight, “hassling… [and] challenging him” until he agreed.
There was a melee on the street, which drew police attention, and TK and his partner left for several hours, returning at about 11pm, where a bumptious TK “demanded” another fight after a verbal disagreement.
TK lunged at Kinthari, flipping his brother onto his back, to which Kinthari responded by pushing TK over.
While TK was sitting on the ground, Kinthari “went up to TK from behind and kicked him hard in the right side of his body,” Justice Kelly said.
This kick “caused a displaced fracture of the right posterior twelfth rib,” which, unbeknown to all, had already set in motion the victim’s death.
Soon, TK felt a “sharp and severe stomach pain,” collapsing against the bathtub.
He was transported to Royal Darwin Hospital via an emergency ambulance, but while awaiting the trauma team, he went into cardiac arrest.
TK was declared deceased at 6.50am the following morning.
An autopsy subsequently determined about 1.7 litres of blood had bled into his body cavity.
Kinthari has been remanded in pre-sentence custody ever since, a period of about 22 months.
Justice Kelly said there were a number of mitigating factors, including that TK was the provocateur in both fights, Kinthari had suffered the “devastating” loss of his sole remaining brother, and that Kinthari did not mean to kill or cause serious harm to his brother.
Kinthari was sentenced to three years’ imprisonment but released immediately, with the remainder of his sentence suspended for an operational period of 18 months, conditional upon Kinthari being under the supervision of Community Corrections.
And of course, closer to home, in Melbourne back in November 2023, a fake crime was alleged by Nazi Muslims and their Nazi leftist comrades. These 2024 Nazis decided to imitate their 1933 Nazi ideological kin and allege a ‘Reichstag fire’ type incident. So, in November 2023 they alleged that Jewish arsonists set fire to a crappy Palestinian owned hamburger joint. And so what did the leftist and Muslim scum do? On the Sabbath, in the suburb of Caulfield where lots of Jews happen to live, whilst Vic police stood buy (as always), these 2023 Nazis unpeacefully assembled directly in front of a synagogue to harass, intimidate and threaten Jews!
It was later discovered that no Jew had been involved in the arson attack…of course. But who needs evidence and proof when you want to harass, intimidate and threaten Jews!
Life is cheap in the NT.
To his credit, one police officer was steadfast in his view that this was not a racist or religiously motivated attack.
When arrests were finally made, those charged did not have many degrees of separation from the Middle Eastern chaps involved in the illegal tobacco trade.
Sounds more like an attempted walk back.
“Oh, I didn’t mean we’re all racist, just some of you.”
Pathetic.

Of course, what Bingle is pissed off about is the inexplicable backlash against Giles allowing child rapists and granny bashers imported from various shit-holes to stay here.
What has really got Bingle wrapped around the axle isn’t the reaction of Joe Public. It is the fact that this brave new “F-ck You!” to middle Australia has now been abandoned by Elbow and now Giles. I hear overnight that Giles has thrown the AAT under the bus, saying they had “misinterpreted” his directive and we can expect “tough new measures”.
More generally, in Bingle World, anyone who questions the quantum of immigration on economic grounds, without saying a word about where migrants come from is obviously racist.

Seriously, the West is suffering many problems – not the least because it’s belief in the principles that made it great are in decline. The great historian Victor Davis Hanson has spoken recently (& published a new book) of the parallels with Ancient Rome. Interestingly, he speaks of the remarks of Livy, Tacitus & others of the effects of “luxus” on Roman morals and society. The similar effects of western affluence are very clear, in my humble opinion.

South Africa votes with ANC rule in balance
South Africans queued late into the night to vote Wednesday, forcing polling stations to remain open beyond closing time in a landmark general election, with the ruling ANC fighting to protect its three-decade-long grip on power.
More than 27 million voters were registered for the most uncertain poll since the African National Congress led the nation out of apartheid.
Most polls started to close at 9pm (8am AEST) but thousands were still waiting in line after nightfall in some big-city voting stations, with electoral officials vowing everyone would get their chance.
With opposition challenges from both the left and right, unemployment and crime at near-record levels and a new generation growing up with no memory of the struggle against white-minority rule, the ruling party may lose its absolute majority and be forced to share power.
The Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) said it projected turnout to go “well beyond” the 66 per cent recorded in the last election in 2019.
“We are experiencing a late surge and are processing a large number of voters,” the IEC’s head Sy Mamabolo told a press conference less than an hour before polls were due to close.
As Thomas Jefferson wrote of King George III, “He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.”

For many living in the countryside life barely changed even as political tremors shook the city, culminating in the abdication of the last emperor of the West in AD476 (the eastern empire continuing for another millennium and even retaking parts of the western empire).
That being said, they didn’t have electronic communications or electricity grids.
Jupiter Macron appeared in Berlin with Scholz yesterday and yet again stated that “Ukraine” could fire French weapons, into Russian territory, as it saw fit.
Also, over the last week, several statements have been made, by Ministers from the Baltic states, (total population of all three is 6 million), stating that they will supply troops to Ukraine.
Why these morons are trying to invoke a response from Russia, given their position of ultimate weakness, is beyond me.
They clearly don’t give a f*ck about their populations, just like the brain dead weasels, we have the misfortune to call our “representatives” in Canberra.
Why I mention this, is because of comments made by President Putin yesterday.
First, he stated that Russia knows Ukraine does not have the weapons or capability to conduct the surveillance required, nor the technical skills, to launch these attacks. In other words, western operatives will provide these skills.
The West will attack Russia. Does that seem like a good idea to you?
Secondly and most chillingly, he said:
“These countries are small in size and have dense populations. They should remember that.”
Russia called in the British and French Foreign Ministers three weeks ago and “read them their horoscopes” after some intemperate remarks.
The EU leaders seem hell bent on drawing a blinding flash over their capitals. If I were them, I would heed the warnings.
No one, especially Russia, has infinite patience.

For the past few years, the SunCable ‘Let’s power Singapore from solar in Darwin’ has thrashed around. The spruikers, carpetbaggers and subsidy farmers have tumbled out increasingly huge and confusing GW’s and GWh’s of solar supply and storage – with commensurate billions of Excel dollars capex and unknown opex.
In 2022/23, Singapore made clear that there was no government financial support and it wasn’t that keen on committing to an energy strategy delivering hopelessly expensive power at the end of 5,000km of cable exposed to the risk of seismic events, anchors, and sabotage. Particularly with alternatives like an Indonesian solar project on Riau, a mere 400km away.
After that, Twiggy Forest pulled the pin and Mike Cannon Brookes took over as ringmaster in late 2023, introducing Quinbrook as a financial partner.
Long story short, SunCable has now been reimagined as DarwinLink:

But one thing seems likely: audiences are going to smell the stench of woke from a mile off. I don’t like the movie’s chance of making a profit even if it does make it to release.
There’s nothing wrong with having black heroes (eg. Hancock) or strong ladies (eg. Lara Croft: Tomb Raider). Both movies did well, and are fun, but neither were at all woke.
Hansen like all talking heads needs to keep people alarmed. Why is that people predicting the future are so neurotic? Because people are attracted to bad news.

COMPREHENSIVE SUBMISSION TO REFORM AUSTRALIA’S CLASSIFICATION LAWS AND LEGALLY RESTRICT PORNOGRAPHY FROM CHIILDREN
No thanks, because we were all told similar with the bikie laws for instance, that were just brought in restrict various activities and allow law enforcement people certain extra abilities to restruict bikie criminal behaviour.
Then, during the covid lockdowns we discovered that the police can demand you open your phone so they can check locations, and privacy settings as well as anything else they feel like doing on your phone, including conficating it .. all legally under the .. bikie laws that extend to the entire community, not just that one small group.
So no, no more restricting anything. Some of those things might not be great, but that’s human nature to see what’s around us.

But one thing seems likely: audiences are going to smell the stench of woke from a mile off. I don’t like the movie’s chance of making a profit even if it does make it to release.
It does affirm one’s faith in humanity when woke crap is rejected by the punters. Disney’s woes is reassuring. But the woke bastards who run entertainment are not going to go without a fight. A black and gay Dr Who won’t be the bottom of their projected self loathing. So far we’ve seen Thor grow tits, various gay super heroes and the insidious female power theme dominate action and particularly Marvel movies. I personally find that the most galling and is part of the context which has allowed trannies to take over. It started and persists with the feminists proclaiming sheilas can do anything a bloke can do and we have seen a plethora of movie duds showing a 120 lb woman beating the tripe out of 220 lb men. It is just junk.

As I’ve said before, IMHO Hollywood is now just a vast money-laundering operation for the cartels and anyone else with criminal cash.
In the 1980s, when the cocaine cartels had so much cash they were digging big holes in the ground and burying it, Hollywood and LA generally was awash with coke. It went all the way from extras to studio bosses and financiers.
It’s not much of a stretch to imagine that these conspicuous consumers knew people who knew people who knew people. Why would they resist millions of dollars in cash at much less than 100% value? With the maze of production companies and their subcontractors involved, losing the cash would not be difficult. Everyone likes cash.
Besides, Hollywood accounting has always paralleled its product in being largely fictional. The next step was easy.
Pandering to fashionable causes is the perfect cover for an essentially criminal enterprise.

Last night Chris Kenny made a comment that I think went even beyond his Voice silliness.
He said he was “disgusted” that Trump hadn’t accepted the outcome of the 2020 election.
Plenty of people have described the various ways that the 2020 election was warped.
I haven’t heard him say he’s “disgusted” at the way the US justice system is being weaponised right now, in a manner worthy of soviet Russia or any number of banana republics.
In fact, the entire daytime Sky crew won’t say anything negative about either the 2020 election or the weaponisation of the justice system. I don’t hear them saying anything about who funds all those lefty DAs, or about the number of left leaning judges appointed by Obama and now Biden. This is why crime is so high in so many places.
I don’t hear them looking askance at the new roles for the FBI and CIA, or the number of lefty appointments to senior military positions – with resultant imposition of force weakening DEI etc.
US manufacturing has been hollowed out and sent to China. The Strategic Oil Reserve has been halved, now down to the lowest level since the early 1980s. Shipbuilding can’t keep up a healthy replacement program for surface ship or submarines.

Back when Bomber Beasley was opposition leader, I used to call the AFL the official opposition – they had all the cuddly policies an ALP in opposition should spout. Little did I know – and this was before Demetriou.
There is no way the “academics of tunnel city” were unaware of the makeup of their city or its politico-military DNA.
Agree that Chris Kenny comes out with some weird crap from time to time, it’s almost like he’s transitioning back to being a Leftard and we’re just seeing some small previews of it. He might meet Bill Maher on the way over.
Rita is another one that does my head in. Simply unwatchable. Her segments are always “about the Left” and I get a bit tired of the same theme, like it’s “high school politics.” Any reporter can find any one of a million crazies online, label them “the Left” and then go to town on them, it’s not difficult and she insults my (and your?) intelligence.

Speculation that the Democrats would dump Joe Biden from their 2024 ticket has been rife for a long time. For quite a while, I thought it was almost inevitable. Rasmussen finds that currently, most Democrats wouldn’t mind seeing Joe go:

Blot’s hour on Sky of an evening consists of his sanctimonious “statin’ the bleedin’ obvious” editorialising, leavened with seemingly interminable appearances by the likes of Sheridini, Kroges, the nuclear milkman, Esther Krakhead and that preposterous warmongering lunatic from the Henry Kissinger Peace Academy, Gen Buck Keane (Retd).
Thankfully I’m usually cooking and eating dinner at that time rather than paying any specific attention to it. A televisual feast, it is not.
The Former Vice President is in Philly trying to drum up the black vote:

I keep seeing people on newspaper sites commenting upon the “boss lady” aspect of Furiosa. It is quite obvious that many have not actually seen the film or even realise it is a prequel to Fury. It is about the early years of the Charleze Theron character. In fact at the end of the movie they show parts from Fury.
Not familiar with the actress who plays Furiosa and pretty neutral on Hemsworth as the bad guy. For me it was the action and stunts. I preferred the actress who played the sharp shooting mother who is an Aussie model.
You don’t really see the small female lead fighting big guys in hand to hand. A lot of her kills are via sniper shooting and during vehicle chases where her light weight in moving around is an advantage. One major plot line omission is showing how she became so good at shooting. They could have easily done that in a montage of shots showing the fuel truck driver training her.
The fact is it is an Aussie directed movie with most actors being Australian and filmed in Australia.
Support the Australian film industry is what I say.

Kenny is a bit like Bill Maher, who has band aids of progressive talking points covering the nicks and scratches of past failed predictions and who gets very irritable and squirms desperately if anyone tries to strip the band aid off. It is not even the injury any more – it is the band aid that describes his behaviour.
Maher will still blithely mention as something universally accepted that Trump is a criminal and madman bent on the destruction of America – even though Maher echoes Trump on probably every issue: illegal immigration, government created inflation, corruption at elite levels, etc.
Trump has maintained that the 2020 election was fiddled – not without some merit. There were plenty of anomalies and irregularities, the few of which that have been exposed to investigation have been validated. But how has Trump ‘refused to accept’ the election differently than The Hilderbeest? Has he refused to deal with the current administration as a current administration? Has he urged people not to accept the government’s authority? Encouraged the military to disregard orders? Exhorted other nations to treat Biden’s fustercluck as other than the American government? Hillary, on the other hand, from 2016 to 2020 called Trump an ‘illegitimate’ present – like he was not the proper President. Trump has always spoken of Biden as President.
Trump has accepted the outcome of the election, but not the methods. He accepts that various concerted dishonest acts shifted the needle, but the needle (however dishonesty) pointed to Biden. He should not have been appointed but appointed he was.
I get that the Democrats need to make Trump’s complaints look like weapons grade petulance in order to delegitimise the underlying (cogent) issues, but for Kenny it is just a matter of child who is scared of having a band aid pulled off.
I am trying to imagine life without Sky Australia? I can’t. Look, there are things that annoy me about the outlet however I’ll take Sky and its various warts and imperfections any day over the far-left dross served up by their ABC, and the gunk served up at Nine, Ten and Seven. Okay, Sky News Oz isn’t perfect, nothing is, but imagine having to rely on the ABC for news? No thank you. Imagine being forced to watch those two hideous fright bats on the ABC’s 7.30 report. Quite frankly, I don’t know who is worse, Mrs Jones or Mrs Nosferatu?
Josh Frydenberg’s special on Tuesday night on the rampant Jew hatred that has exploded in this country was outstanding. News Corporation (the parent of Sky Oz) is the only media outlet reporting on and opining on the spiralling Jew hatred…it also treats Israel fairly. Sky is also critiques the renewable madness, advocates nuclear and gives platforms to those who advocate for nuclear.
Also, I know for a fact that the Murdoch family, since October 7 2023, have donated nearly two million dollars to fighting Jew hatred. Kol hakavod to them.
Whilst the UK now has GBNews, thanks to Ofcom and a looming Starmer government, it’ll probably be shut down, or just go online (like Talk TV). We should be grateful for what we have, okay it isn’t perfect, but I’ll take what I can get.

I apologise if I have posted this before – but I think this podcast published in Australian Spectator a week ago is perhaps the most important interview I have heard in some time. It is an interview with the amazing Victor Hanson Davis. He analyses the moral breakdown of the West. He is, of course, a classical scholar & he is fixated with the parallels between the collapse of the Greek and Roman civilisations (particularly the latter) with what is happening in the West.
He begins by comparing the ancient concern with the effects of economic proposerity (in Rome- “luxus”) on the fabric of society. He talks about familiar themes of declining fertility, obsession with exotic food, clothing…promiscuity, transsexualism and many other familiar themes.
He also personalises his observations. His family, he says, has lived in a rural setting in California for over 150 years. In recent times he says his orchard and paddocks are invaded by people from urban areas leaving trash. He says he is now hearing gunshots at night – & they are not local shooters. He is fearful that the US is going back to the 1850s with divisions between “red” & “blue” states.
Interestingly, he has visited most western countries and sees signs of similar developments. He especially noted the difference between the capital cities in Australia and regional areas. Something, we, of course, note ourselves.
Finally, he muses that when a society unleashed free market capitalism and you discard the self criticism of the Judaeo-Christian ethic, you release a society which implodes.
Interesting.

Yes Cassie.
Despite the daytime version which leans heavily as anti-Israel, anti-Trump and pro-Labor, it’s the best we’ve got to get some chance of hearing some balanced reporting – and some truth.
In the evening reporting especially. That’s where the balance and truth comes in.
So I reckon the most likely outcome for Trump is a hung jury.
But ya know, that means they can try him again… in a week!

The ship “MINERVA ANTONIA” in the Mediterranean Sea with a number of cruise missiles.

Sky Opinion is fairly good with reservations. Chris Kenny lost me over his irrationality with the Voice, Credlin pilloried Pauline some years ago but has softened, also Peta’s stance on the jabs and the National Cabinet.

Trump has a 1/3 chance (my opinion included):
Option 1: Not guilty (extremely unlikely)
Option 2: Guilty (moderately likely)
Option 3: Hung (likely to moderately likely).
I know the NY borough is 90% Hiden but he only needs one “hold out” (a secret Trump supporter or a person with an actual conscience) to get option 3 as the “best” possible outcome
And of this “best” outcomes:
For Option 1, he wins but the Big Guy and team meeja will come after him still.
For Option 2, he loses, possibly gaol.
For Option 3, he loses, retrial.
So, the odds are f*cked whichever way you dice it.

Just watched Jesse Watter’s summation of the judge’s directions to the jury in the stormy case. Apparently merchan is an associate judge who is not even on the 24 judge selection panel who are randomly selected for particular cases but who has presided over ALL 3 Trump NY cases. All 3 and he is not even on the panel. How fuked is that. As well the bastard in his directions listed the 3 crimes alleged against Trump, none of which were mentioned during the trial, all of which are irrelevant and then said as long as 4 jurors can agree on any one of them a guilty verdict will prevail.
The US is fuked, even if Trump gets off. That its judicial system has degenerated to this is fatal.

Payman quits two parliamentary committees
Staff writers
Controversial Labor senator Fatima Payman has quit two parliamentary committees, the Joint Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade, and the Senate Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade Legislation Committee.
The resignation’s come following Ms Payman accusing the Israeli government of genocide in recent weeks and signing off an interview with reporters by using the now banned saying “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”.
A spokesperson from the government released a short statement on Thursday evening announcing Ms Payman’s resignation.
“Senator Payman has resigned from the Joint Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade and the Senate Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade Legislation Committee,” it said.
“The government’s policy is clear, we support a two-state solution.”
From her bio:
“Sujatha Fernandes is an Indian-American-Australian writer [and] Professor of Sociology at the University of Sydney, and an Adjunct Professor of Sociology at the City University of New York. Her work explores social and labor movements, participatory media and art, global Black cultures, migrant workers, and climate storytelling.”
