In a much better Australia. Dons are a menace and we’d be better off without them.
The split is alleged to be 60/40 F/M. The other 61 genders are not of interest, apparently.
I too would like to romp through the stats by discipline. When I started Engineering we had two females among the first-years, and they too were ‘that good’.
I have ‘read it said’ (anon/they, 2023) that the imbalance is nowhere near as skewed as implied by the raw number, because a great many nursing and ‘care professions’ are almost 100% female. Making these trades degree-based skews the results dramatically.
Given that Arts faculty (as was) has just about expired from lack of interest, I doubt that the unbalanced females are stacked into the Grievance and Identity Studies schools!

I have just read the following article in the current Quadrant Online. It is astonishing in its implications. Basically, it investigates the failure of a judge to recuse herself in a case involving the challenge against the release of a Covid vaccine. I have not posted the entire article but will, do so if DB approves and Cats require it.
I think it is an astonishing indictment (if we need more!) of Australia’s failure of authorities to follow procedures in this Covid debacle.

Bandt says Israel army has engineered a famine
Rhiannon Down
Greens Leader Adam Bandt has defended his party against attacks from Labor and the Coalition accusing his MPs of failing to condemn anti-Semitism, accusing Anthony Albanese of seeking to make the Middle East conflict “about himself”.
“This house is united in condemning anti-Semitism and condemning Islamophobia and we also condemn the invasion of Gaza,” Mr Bandt said.
“Now, I will not be lectured to about peace and non-violence by people who back the invasion of Gaza.
”Children are dying because the Israeli army has engineered a famine, and instead wants to make it about himself.”
Mr Bandt sought indulgence from Speaker Milton Dick to defend his party’s actions on the issue, but it was not granted.

Over 2200 ADF personnel sign letter against war crimes
Ben Packham
Defence is considering disciplinary action against officials and serving ADF personnel who have signed an open letter accusing the Australian government of complicity in “the genocide, ethnic cleansing and illegal occupation of Palestine”.
The department’s secretary Greg Moriarty and the Chief of the Defence Force Angus Campbell told a Senate estimates hearing on Wednesday that uniformed and civilian Defence employees were among more than 2200 public servants who had signed the letter.
They said they were still trying to determine how many of their people had done so. The letter called for an end to Australian military exports to Israel including F-35 fighter jet parts.
Mr Moriarty said staff would be reminded of their obligation to be impartial and professional in their public comments.
“My inclination is to proceed to do that quickly,” he said. “We have further options to take formal action in accordance with the APS code of conduct, and certainly the CDF has at his disposal other arrangements in relation to members of the ADF.”
The revelation came as Defence officials defended the sale of Australian F-35 parts which could be used by Israel.
Greens Senator David Shoebridge demanded the government stop selling F-35 parts to Israel, citing regulations that require military sales to not “aggravate an existing threat to international peace and security”.
But deputy secretary Hugh Jeffrey said the F-35 supply chain was a global one, and parts exported by Australia went to the US, which managed the stockpile.
“I think the question of whether or not the F-35 is being employed in the crisis in Israel is not material to the question of whether or not we grant an export permit,” he said.

This is one of the seats I’ll be watching in 2025’s federal election: McNamara, formerly Melbourne Ports, which covers Port Melbourne, South Melbourne, St Kilda and the Jewish stronghold of Caulfield, formerly held by one of the ALP’s defenders of the Jewish community, Michael Danby.
In a three-cornered contest, the ALP member, Josh Burns (32% in 2022), a Caulfield Jew, will run against the Greenfilth (29%) and the Libs (29%) via the LNP’s new candidate Benson Saulo, a young, educated, articulate Aboriginal-PNG Melanesian mixed-race blackfella.
From 2022’s result, Saulo just has to show up to get 30%. Now that Australian Jews know that Labor and the Filth aren’t their friends, it will be interesting to see how close Saulo gets to winning the seat.
The result in McNamara in 2025 will tell us plenty about the public mood.

University Gender Balance by Faculty in Australia
The gender balance of students varies significantly across different fields of study at Australian universities. Here is an overview of the male to female student ratios in various faculties:
Fields with Higher Proportion of Female Students
EducationThe education faculty has the highest proportion of female students at around 76%. For every 100 students in education courses, there are only 32 males.
Health
Health-related courses like nursing, midwifery, and allied health also have a high female enrollment of around 72%. The male to female ratio is around 1:3.5.
Society and Culture
Courses related to society, culture, humanities and arts tend to attract more female students, with around 67% being female. The male to female ratio is around 1:2.
Creative Arts
In the creative arts faculty, around 63% of students are female, with a male to female ratio of around 3:5.
Fields with Higher Proportion of Male Students
Engineering and Related TechnologiesEngineering remains a heavily male-dominated field, with only around 16% of students being female. For every 100 engineering students, there are only 19 females.
Information Technology
Similarly, in the information technology and computer science disciplines, only around 19% of students are female, resulting in a male to female ratio of around 4:1.
Architecture and Building
The architecture and building fields have a 60% male majority, with a male to female ratio of around 3:2.
Natural and Physical Sciences
In the natural and physical sciences like physics, chemistry and mathematics, there is a more balanced gender ratio of around 50% males and 50% females.
Management and Commerce
Business, management and commerce courses tend to have a slight male majority of around 51%, with a male to female ratio of around 19:18.
Overall, while some traditionally male-dominated fields like engineering and IT still have significant gender imbalances, many other disciplines now have a higher proportion of female students compared to males. The data highlights the need for continued efforts to promote gender equity and encourage participation across all fields.

A $Billion for computers to “misforecast” weather, even up here in the tropics, where it should be very easy to get it right, seems like a complete waste of taxpayers dosh to me.
The BOM should be funded only to the extent that they collect accurate data for dissemination by other entities, by that I mean private subscription based companies. Otherwise known as people who suffer monetarily for getting things consistently wrong.
There are many out there and most provide an excellent product.
It’s obvious The BOM has been completely, or at the very least greatly, politicised in line with what Eisenhower warned about in his farewell speech.
There is a quickly deteriorating confidence and trust in rural areas re anything they have to say about the medium and long term outlook and all short term forecasts are just as accurate from international forecasters.
Remember also how culpable they have been in the pillaging of Australias finances, countryside and people.
Spot on Bush. Another Canbra abomination.

Song and Lyrics by Paul Anka
Many men came here as soldiers
Many men will pass this way
Many men will count the hours
As they live the longest day
Many men are tired and weary
Many men are here to stay
Many men won’t see the sunset
When it ends the longest day
The longest day the longest day
This will be the longest day
Filled with hopes and filled with fears
Filled with blood and sweat and tears
Many men the mighty thousands
Many men to victory
Marching on right into battle
In the longest day in history
New South Wales may as well walk off
Listening to Paul Kent last year and yes he has been silly of late.
But what he said remains true. Queensland plays for the jumper, NSW for themselves.
In my long-winded travelogue on the decline of Bologna earlier today, I forgot about a lovely little corner where a 1920s Art Nouveau streetlamp hangs. The Lampiere del Bambini, Babies Lamp, is a unique anachronism. Unique to the world, I suspect. When a baby was born in the city, a nurse in one of the two major hospitals, would press a button to illuminate the lamp. Symbol of the connection between old and new. It is no longer operational.
Showing photos to my local friend she lamented it’s demise. “No more Italian babies being born in the city. Sole stranieri…only strangers.”
A lovely, lost tradition.

What an amazing discovery! Scientists have discovered that ants, after collecting the grains and seeds that they need for winter break those seeds down into halves before storing in their nests because breaking them in half keeps them from germinating even through rain and the most perfect germinating conditions.
But scientists were stunned when they discovered that coriander seeds stored in the ant nest were broken down into 4 pieces instead of 2 pieces. After lab research, scientists discovered that a coriander seed will still germinate after being divided into two, but it won’t germinate after it’s divided into four parts.
So how do these tiny tiny creatures know all this? Humans know very little, there’s a lot to learn from other creatures.
My question is, did it happen by intelligent design, or did some ancient ant observe this factoid and passed it on somehow?
Probably posted on a dying thread?
An anniversary today…and a remarkable one.
Eighty years on. They were the Greatest Generation. We won’t see their like again.
Of course, they were a great generation, but I wouldn’t say they were the greatest, as it was events that tested them.
The same could be said of the past Israeli generations, who helped make Israel a great addition to the West. Prior to the 7th, you could have suggested the younger Israeli generations had become soft and flabby like their western counterparts, and then? And then the 7th occurred, and the younger gens performed with spectacular bravery, foresight, intelligence, and restraint.
If our younger gens were tested, and they will, I see them behaving in the same way as the Israeli kids. As always, I’m optimistic.
I am an optimist also. My comment referenced demographers.

Victor Davis Hanson, The Destructive Generation
Caveat – Of course not all “baby boomers” fit the above bill. Taking his cue from Reagan, Hanson is engaging in generational analysis, a broad brush approach to social and cultural trends and their impact on society and history.
D-Day anniversary today…..yet now Nazism, in the guise of ‘progressivism’ is prevalent and growing again across Western Europe, Jews are taunted, threatened, intimidated, spat upon, beaten and attacked. Jewish schools, kindergartens, aged care homes, synagogues, temples, communal organisations require massive security. Many Jews are scared to walk the streets. In the UK there is talk that a new Sturmer government will recognise a Nazi state called ‘Palestine’.
Jews need to leave the UK NOW.
As for Australia, I don’t know what the future holds for us Jews, one thing I do know is that we have a Nazi Party in this country and that party is called the Greens and anyone who votes for this Nazi party is a Nazi supporter and no different from those Germans who voted for Hitler in 1933.
But I will always remember and I will always thank those brave young men who landed on the beaches of Normandy that overcast windswept day. As a child I remember looking at a book my father had (I often wonder what happened to that book). It was a Time Life book on the history of World War II. I still recall the full page pictures of the young wide-eyed men huddled and cramped together in the pontoons, pictures taken just before they landed on those windswept Normandy beaches, the men shivering due to the cold and you could see the fear on their faces. I recall their young beautiful eyes, these young men were true sacrificial lambs, brave lambs fighting a noble cause to rid the world of the evil of Nazism. And anyone who doubts their valour, who doubts the validity and nobility of World War II, remember this. As those young men were landing on the cold beaches of Normandy, an aunt of mine, in a town near Budapest, was living her last days with her family, because between May and July 1944, almost half a million Hungarian Jews were rounded up and deported to Auschwitz for extermination.
If that is not an evil worth fighting against I don’t know what is, but in 2024 we reward evil, we’re condoning Nazism. Sometimes I get despondent and I wonder whether we deserved the sacrifice and valour of those young men. Today, on our streets and university campuses there are calls for a new genocide against Jews and all I can think is….
Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose
Still, I will always remember and thank those brave young men of 6 June 1944.

Don’t really need to add anything about D Day except to thank them for the freedom they granted.
Monty should be thanking them also in the same manner that he can post his flatus on this site. The same flatus those men fought against.
This is the same guy who had the arson attack on one of his burger joints and was involved in stirring up animosity against Jews.
It was worse, far worse, than simple ‘animosity towards Jews’, it was a convenient pretext used by Nazi leftist and Muslim scum (wonder if our own Nazi was there) to gather, with Vic Police approval, outside a synagogue on the Sabbath to scream, hurl and shout intimidation and abuse at Caulfield’s Jews.
I still remain dismayed by the whole event, and the following night here in Sydney, a convoy of cars filled with Nazi Muslims and leftists (one of whom was a convicted Nazi Muslim terrorist), were provided with a personal escort by NSWaffen Police to drive through Jewish suburbs here in Sydney’s eastern suburbs….screaming abuse and intimidation at Jews….whilst NSWaffen Police stood back and did nothing.
I see that the fat fascist fool was again polluting the thread late last night.

Bruce has more than sufficient scientific knowledge to challenge Fauci on stupidities like the Vax, much less minor idiocies like masks and soshul distancing.

Biden will be making a speech at the D-Day ceremony I assume. I wonder if he will veer off-script and regale people with his own experiences on that terrible day. His buddy dying in his arms, begging him to increase illegal migration, after having his head blown off by a Wurlitzer fired by a German MAGA battalion. (That’s a fact.)
Perhaps he will tell a little of his own heroics, how he was the first to land on U-Haul beach and the Republicans in their pillboxes didn’t shoot him because they were intimidated by him (not a joke), how he saved Admiral Patton’s life by catching a bullet in his own hand just before it hit Patton’s head (no kidding), How he helped his buddy Corn Pop round up the Hitler Ewes, and…and…anyway.
He is saying, apparently, that every world leader he meets takes him aside and tells him that he cannot let Trump win the election. I imagine among there European elites there is little appetite for a return of Trump – he stood up to them and showed how bad they were. By why would you tell that to a addled, mumbling dotard who forgets it as soon as he hears it? There are other, more effective people to conspire with behind the scenes.
Haha, how to get out of jury duty…

I also wonder if anyone will see the irony if Biden talks about the danger of a nation led by a war monger who keeps tucked away in a bunker, issuing increasingly irrational orders, severely mentally impaired and kept able to stand only with the aid of an exotic cocktail of chemicals and drugs.
I am also curious to see if he has a dig at Trump or the Republicans. It would be stupendously inappropriate and embarrassing but I don’t think he can help himself.

Putin Says Courts Are Being Used Against Trump
Ex-NYT Reporter: The world went crazy!
But at no time were The People to be consulted; the Party was their Voice.
Its the same with this lot, except it speaks for Holy Gaia and Social Justice. These are ‘whatever the needs of the speaker are at the time’, which has the advantage that there are fewer voices to contradict, and thus have to be made ‘no problem’.
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Just tuning in to Paul O’Grady’s ‘For the Love of Dogs’ on SBS, as I do most mornings.
It’s a PR exercise for Battersea, it’s corny and hokey, but I enjoy it. Good vibes. He was a gay entertainer who did stand up, drag and TV stuff for many years. There are no stains on his character of the kind that we often see today.
O’Grady (RIP) was the old fashioned kind of queen. He didn’t want to ram his sexuality down everyone’s throat at every opportunity, and he understood that there was a difference between his Adults Only shows and this family program about lost and abandoned dogs.
There is the odd double entendre which would go straight over the heads of young viewers, but mostly it is just a genuine and witty animal lover and an appealing cast of human and animal characters.
No doubt raised as Catholic in Liverpool or thereabouts, the cultural grounding is very apparent. And, he genuinely loved animals, and instinctively knew how to connect with them.
Flat faced dogs might be described as ‘looking like Ena Sharples’ or ‘havin’ a face like a Bristol publican’s wife.’ 🙂
Worth a look if you like animals and a bit of sly humour.
Re the ants and the seeds – from my observation, ants are like those computer programs that just keep running through gazillions of combinations until they find one that works.
Or maybe the opposite is true?
Whichever, a lot of progress is via trial and error – as we have all experienced! 🙂
“…you are never going to win a battle of credentialism against Anthony Fauci.”
It’s not so much that they got it wrong, but rather that they said it was solidly backed by science and you had to do what they said or you were killing grandma.
If they’d have said “Look, it’s new, we don’t know, but we believe such-and-so will help, and that this-and-that will make a difference, so we’d suggest that everyone do these things, but at the end of the day it’s up to individuals to do the right thing” then when things turned out differently, I could accept that they did their best.
But they didn’t – they said “You must ‘social distance’ or you’ll be fined!”, and “If you don’t get a vax, you can’t leave your house…” when these things were not, in actual fact, based on research at all, but what they felt would work.
And now that it turns out there were unanticipated problems with all that stuff, they’re saying “We did what we thought would work – we had to do something!”, it falls pretty flat – to me, anyway.
Sorry, by doing what they did instead of being honest and straightforward about what they knew and what was a guess, they have lost trust with people. That’s their own fault, and frankly is a very bad thing – how can I believe that any pronouncements they make actually are backed by science when they lied last time around? Not only how can I believe it, but why should I, given their history?
Ah geez, now BJ is claiming to be a distinguished scientist too.
Bruce claimed that because his pet rocks have lichen living on them, or something, he knew better than Fauci about how to manage a pandemic. No Bruce, you have no specialist domain knowledge in Fauci’s field.
Science is a process of trial and error. The fact that it incorporates some error has sent you lot insane. You just can’t comprehend the concept of agreeing to curtail your personal freedoms as an ongoing experiment to see whether it will save lives.
Like in that Dilbert comic upthread, you are asking for Fauci to achieve incompatible goals. No, you can’t maximise both freedom and safety in a pandemic. We don’t know going into it what the right mix should be. There will be some A/B testing and some overreach. This is part of the scientific process.
Normal people understood this, didn’t like the restrictions, but got why it was happening. You lot are just spoilt children, still whining years later. You are pathetic.
What on earth do you know about science Monty?
You think that men can have babies.
Science is falsifiable and therefore disease based medicine (which is predicated on probabilities) is not science.
Nor is climate “science”.
The concept of “trial and error” is meaningless. You can argue that homeopathy or astrology or bloodletting or whatever involve “trial and error” if you want to. After all, is something that is constantly in “error” (eg vaccines) more scientific than something that is never wrong (eg Maxwell’s equations)?
Nor is the idea that if something is published in “scientific journals” anything useful – it is just circular reasoning (because people only think journals are scientific if they agree with them).
You don’t understand anything about the philosophy of science. You don’t understand anything about anything.
Piss off, troll.
And, readers, please don’t feed it.
My theory is that all leftists are superspreaders and, in order to protect the rest of us, they need to be held in prison until they are given 1 million vaccines. We have to test this theory to see if it’s in error – because of SCIENCE!!!!

Mutley angry the Milko is still there banging his wife.
Reading “Churchill’s shadow” by Geoffrey Wheatcroft.
Churchill’s lifelong friend F.E. Smith, Earl Birkenhead, was famous for his legal learning and insolent wit. To one judge who said “Having read your submission, Mr Smith, I am none the wiser.” he replied “No, m’lord, but much better informed.” Years later, when a pompous judge , perplexed about the correct sentencing policy in what was then called a case of unnatural vice, asked Smith, then Lord Chancellor, “What do you give a man, who allows himself to be b#ggered?” Birkenhead answered ” Oh, thirty shillings, two pounds, whatever you have on you.”
Wrong. Trial and error is one possible procedure within scientific study. Others, such as logic, consensus of opinions, reason, observation, dissection or induction are commonly used. Trial and error or brute force, is time consuming and not used so much.
..
You mean “agree to curtail your behaviour”, not freedoms. If one is free to agree to something they are by definition keeping that freedom.
..
(My italics)
..
Not “whether it will save lives” but “whether more lives will be saved or lost” The missing part of your sentence is the place where we can see why people had to be FREE to make their own medical decisions.

My theory is that all leftists are superspreaders and, in order to protect the rest of us, they need to be held in prison
Anyone else good with helicopters? We can do some trial and error to see if they can fly.

Dickless doesn’t do irony. Science is trial and error the troll spews. Yet it supports alarmism which is based on the science is settled and fauci who opined that that attacks on him are ‘actually criticizing science’. So masks work, 6′ distancing works and the covid came from a bat’s arse not a chunk lab and the jabs have no side effects.

The Most Obvious Political Gaslighting Effort in Modern History
Astronomers seem more willing to burn each other, and long-held theories down, unlike “climatologists.”
I note the raging debate about the Hubble Constant at the moment. There’s plenty on YouTube but the latest findings of the JWS Telescope are causing some serious problems.
Scientists can’t currently explain why the most distant galaxy they have found is (1) Accelerating too fast according to the BB Theory and (2) It is too well formed, meaning that it would have formed very early after the BB; likely impossibly so.
This finding has raised three questions:
1) Is our maths wrong?
2) Is the whole BB Theory wrong?
3) Is humanity’s whole concept of space and time fundamentally flawed.

Here is one of today’s offerings:
When Kirsty and Mark were looking for a property in the Adelaide Hills, the heritage officer and architect were after something a little different.
They found it in the form of a 170-year-old colonial cottage that was slowly being reclaimed by thickets of blackberries and overgrowth around it.
The couple purchased the property known as Longview, which included a cottage and a second modern house, for $945,000 in late 2021.
Their plan was a DIY restoration on the 40-square-metre cottage to save the history of the building, and also give their family of five a little more room.
Even if there weren’t heritage restrictions in place, Mark and Kirsty said their aim was to do an authentic restoration, using as many techniques and materials specific to the period it was built as possible.
“There’ll be no modern paints or modern cement renders, it’ll be all lime — lime renders and lime paints,” Mark said.
The budget was $100,000 and they were hoping they could have it finished in a year.
Yup, just your typical battlers, complete with heritage awareness.

This is what I wanted and expected to see at the start of the so-called pandemic, just wanted us to be treated as adults. What’s more, it didn’t make sense that the situation was not presented in this way. All we heard were slogans like “the new normal”. The other red alert was that no innovation or experimentation with treatments was allowed let alone encouraged. Three strikes and the powers that be were no longer legitimate.
With all of the above it’s hard not to suspect that there was something else at play and that the truth would have spoiled those plans. The tragedy is that all of this has brought medicine, science and technology into disrepute that may take generations to correct.

This is dififferent. One of the dogs is off colour so I had them inside last night and left the rear door ajar.
In the middle of the night they went berserk so I staggered out expecting a possum or even a snake. Nope, it was an echidna patrolling the kitchen floor. I have never seen one here and I cannot imagine how it got onto the property given that it is walled.
He/she is now ensconced in a cardboard box and is off to animal rescue. Given the number of dogs around here, its survival is a miracle.
Where is the coloured gob-stopper for this clown?

That was very interesting about the preliminary findings from the telescope.Truth is variable as the facts come to hand. Conservatives are wary generally only changing their mind upon evidence and proof provided. It is all we can go by. The looney left, which is all of them, truth is what it is no matter the evidence to the contrary. If the evidence proves overwhelmingly something to be false then another equally ridiculous reason will be provided.
Bons, echidnas are the most widespread native animal in Australia. Not many people know that. Said in a Cockney accent.

This authoritarian tone was the most upsetting for me.
I had to take the wretched thing, luckily only once, not to lose my job.
But my sister who is a sucker for any order or recommendation coming from officials was the first to take the jab of AZ and a couple of boosters after.
She had two hip replacements after that and the first time she was extremely lucky that the nurse was with her after the operation, she had a stroke, couldn’t speak, just gesture and as I said lucky being in the right place with someone.
Reason, blood clot.
The second time after the op. they were watching her like a hawk and sure enough she had a stroke, small blood clot again.
She is now on blood thinners which gives her other problems.
I am not saying it was definitely caused by the vaccine, I am not a medical specialist nor do I immerse myself in the literature about the subject.
It just made me think reading the posts here
Trump latest:
1 Georgia CA has indefinitely paused the fanny willis case against Trump
2 A federal appeals court has stopped accepting public complaints, many seeking the recusal of U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, from the U.S. Government’s classified documents case against former President Donald Trump, citing a flood of 1,000 filings in recent weeks that appear to be part of “an orchestrated campaign.” The orchestration appears to be by jack Smith.
Echidnas are like the bats of the bush- they’re everywhere, all the time, but bloody hard to see for some reason. They’re like a camouflaged chameleon, wrapped in an enigma. Then dipped in spikes.

Family dog succumbs to wounds after saving loved ones on Oct. 7
?June 5, 2024 by JNS
The canine hero who saved her family from Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack on Kibbutz Be’eri has succumbed to injuries sustained during the harrowing ordeal, according to Ynet.
According to the Ben Zvi family, Petel’s (the name means Raspberry) relentless barking alerted them to the presence of terrorists attempting to break into their home. The family credits the dog’s warning, amplified by a baby monitor, for causing the terrorists to flee the scene.
“The terrorists heard the dog in stereo. I can only assume that the scene became too complicated for them and they decided to leave the house,” Ela Ben Zvi recounted.
Tragically, when the family was evacuated by soldiers later that day, they were forced to leave Petel behind; she was traumatized by the explosions and too afraid to come out. They provided her with food and water, intending to retrieve her once the situation was resolved. However, in a devastating turn of events, soldiers conducting searches in the kibbutz mistakenly believed terrorists were present in the house and opened fire, and Petel was hit by shrapnel.
Upon realizing their mistake, the soldiers swiftly transported her to a veterinarian. After receiving medical care, she was eventually reunited with her beloved family. Despite her ordeal and advanced age of 11 years, Petel persevered “and received a lot of love, hugs and pets,” said Ben Zvi.
“But she was an older dog…and she went through a lot and spent a lot of energy on her rehabilitation and recovery,” she added. “There were several people who told us that she held on a little longer to be with us, and then she let go.”
Truly a man’s best friend. May Petel’s memory forever be a blessing.
Petel has a friend if there’s a doggie heaven.

Media does what media does:
Israel accused of shooting back at Hezbollocks in Lebanon.
The tragedy is that all of this has brought medicine, science and technology into disrepute that may take generations to correct.
This may have a silver lining – since it may encourage people to question the amount of medication they are prescribed. Statins is the obvious one in question, but there are many others that are routinely prescribed as people age. Apparently the number of drugs taken in aged homes is staggering. Already there are cardiac medications coming on the market that utilise the new nano gene affecting technology. One actually edits our genes to eliminate possible future cardiac problems. What could possibly go wrong?
In Judaism there is no ‘doggie heaven’…..the Jewish perspective is that all life on this planet has a soul, and when that life dies, be it a dog, human, cat or crocodile, the soul of that person/animal returns to the creator, Hashem.
Minns does what Labor mostly does:
“That big deficit we have, caused by the previous government …”
Now, I don’t want to excuse any government for over-reacting to the covid scamdemic and (i) spending too much (including on welfare), (ii) causing business failures, and (iii) releasing their inner tyrant and sooling the cops onto the citizenry plus depriving us all of our rights to go about our normal lives.
But: Labor were all lining up with their hands out, asking for covid relief funds. Labor in VIC were shockers.
Frydenberg was about to announce a surplus when the covid crap hit the fan.
So don’t come the raw and mouldy prawn with that old excuse about what coalition governments did that impacted on budget bottom lines. All were in it, all are implicated, and all should be punished.
Is this Iron Dome battery getting blown up old news, new news or fake news?
Minns is now apologising for the criminalising of homosexuality. It wasn’t just one side of politics that did it, and it isn’t now a bed of roses that it’s no longer criminal. There are risks to health, particularly for males (but who cares?), and risks to societal cohesion.
It’d be refreshing for both Labor and Greens to apologise for all the things they have done which have helped our formerly cohesive and reasonably affluent society to go downhill to the vast extent that it has.

There was some talk about BOM’s forecasting… my two cents…
I think BOM are pretty good* at forecasting weather that’s 4 to 6 days out. They are total crap at forecasting anything beyond that. Some companies in the US can provide pretty good 20+ day forecasts and I think that proves that the private sector is better placed to do this, rather than gubbermint.
*BOM have had at least two doosies recently in Perth; on both days, in that very morning, they predicted 0% chance of any rain. It wasn’t until the Northern burbs were underwater did they change the forecast…
ADF culture ‘may be’ behind women’s reluctance to joinBen Packham
The Chief of the Defence Force Angus Campbell has conceded the ADF’s culture “may be” a factor in women’s reluctance to join-up, as a Senate committee heard more than one in three surveyed female recruits said they were victims of sexual misconduct.
The 2021 survey results, first tabled in the royal commission into defence and veterans’ suicide, revealed 36 per cent of women at the Australian Defence Force Academy said they had experienced sexual misconduct at the college.
But 30 per cent of Defence recruits who experienced unacceptable behaviour took no action, with many reporting “the behaviour is accepted around here”.
Greens Senator David Shoebridge read the survey results into evidence during a Senate estimates hearing, which earlier heard Defence was forecast to achieve just 57 per cent of its recruiting target this year.
Senator Shoebridge asked General Campbell whether women were being deterred from joining the ADF by the organisation’s workplace culture.
General Campbell replied: “Senator, it may be a consideration by potential applicants and indeed families of those applicants, amongst a range of other considerations, some that might encourage and some that might discourage application to serve.”
The committee also heard the military court martial system was letting off offenders convicted of indecent assaults with small fines and reductions of rank.
The data showed such cases “almost never end in dismissal”, and offenders’ records were “wiped” when they entered civilian life, Senator Shoebridge said.
General Campbell said he was aware of the issue but had not raised it with Defence Minister Richard Marles.
Canadian conservative leader Pierre Poilievre seems pretty solid?

Amusing summary of the slut stormy conviction of Trump:
I have it on the authority of New York Times guest editorialist Norm Eisen that Trump’s 34 felony convictions concern “profoundly serious” crimes. But one point I’m still not clear on is how Trump was supposed to describe his payments to Stormy Daniels.
That is, after all, the heart of the case: Trump committed felonies by recording the payment to Daniels — made through his lawyer Michael Cohen — as a “legal expense,” thus creating a “false business record.”
How was he supposed to describe it?
— “Nuisance fee”?
— “Extortion payment”?
— “Cost of doing business for a celebrity”?
— “Legal settlement that’s a lot cheaper than having my lawyers run up gigantic bills suing Daniels for defamation”?
NO! The only answer liberals will accept is this:
“Hush money payment to a porn star who was threatening to claim we had sex — a claim as false as the Trump Tower doorman’s allegation I had an illegitimate child with an employee, which is so false that even the media admit it’s false — for the exclusive purpose of hiding the porn star’s (false) claim from the electorate, so that they would vote for me, even though they did vote for me, despite seeing a video one month before the election of me bragging about grabbing women ‘by the p*ssy.’ The Daniels allegation, however, I believe would have pushed them over the edge, so I used my own money to pay Daniels not to lie about me, much like the $30,000 that was paid to the lying doorman.”
If he’d said that, District Attorney Alvin Bragg would have been forced to say, BINGO! That’s exactly what I and The New York Times wanted you to write in your internal business records. Free to go, Mr. Trump.
Bear in mind this alleged book keeping misdescription is a STATE misdemeanour which was out of time. It was piggy backed to one main Federal felony which the state has no jurisdiction over: electoral interference; the other 2 alleged federal felonies which were only mentioned by merchan in his jury directions of tax avoidance and a worse book-keeping offence can be ignored. The electoral interference allegation was dismissed by the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) in 2021. The 9th Circuit Court, a superior court, to merchan’s kangaroo court also dismissed it in 2022 and awarded costs to Trump. Also bear in mind that the slut stormy had signed a Statutory Declaration in 2018 that she did not sleep with Trump making her testimony before merchan criminal perjury. Also note that cohen paid the slut stormy out of his own pocket and of his own volition and billed Trump not only for the $130k but another couple of hundred thousand and was paid per 34 invoices as per his retainer for the one account. Bear in mind merchan and his family were completely compromised by their history of political connections and merchan was legally obligated to recuse himself and that the lead prosecutor was not the fat back bastard but biden’s right hand man in the WH. Finally the jury was from a district which voted almost 100% for biden in the last election
Other than that it was a fair trial.

I think BOM are pretty good* at forecasting weather that’s 4 to 6 days out. They are total crap at forecasting anything beyond that.
Because there is no known methodology to do that. Remember the bit about couple non linear chaotic systems. As for seasonal forecasts, might as well consult a gypsy fortune teller, or use chicken entrails or tea leaves.

Hezbollah claims to have hit Iron Dome battery; IDF says unaware of such case.

First, was this part of their platform? Did they promise this apology during the election campaign? If they did there may have been some disagreement from their Islamic voters.
Second, Minns thinks he’s so clever offering the apology now so that it will be forgotten by the voters in Lakemba, Bankstown, Auburn etc by the next election. Wouldn’t it be a shame if somebody brought it up then to remind the excitable voters.
Third, I am so tired of the holier-than-thou apologising to anyone one for anything in my name, particularly when I and most other citizens had nothing to do with a supposed offence or insult.
I really like the work of Jim Rickards. Here is his latest appraisal of the Ukraine debacle:
V. NATO Wants to Attack Inside Russia. If That Happens, All Bets Are Off.
As mentioned above, the steady path toward World War III continues. Here’s another example. US and NATO support for Ukraine in the war with Russia has been one long failure, but that has not stopped them from escalating the war with new weapons and tactics. Russia has met the escalation with its own escalation every step of the way.
At what point do rational leaders in the West (if there are any left) pause, consider that the war is lost in Ukraine, and begin to deescalate and seek a treaty to end the war? There’s no sign of that yet. In fact, all of the signs point to further escalation, which is a sure path to nuclear war.
The West supplied Ukraine with HIMARS precision guided artillery, but that failed because the Russians quickly learned how to jam the GPS guidance systems, so the missiles went off course.
The US and NATO supplied Ukraine with Abrams, Leopard and Challenger tanks and Bradley Fighting Vehicles that have been left burning on the battlefield. The Patriot anti-missiles systems cannot shoot down Russian hypersonic missiles and have been destroyed one-by-one at a cost of $1 billion each.
F-16s are the next wonder weapon promised. Those will be shot down by Russian S-400 anti-aircraft batteries. They are also old, obsolete models from NATO inventories that cannot be flown by Ukrainian pilots since they barely read English (the training manuals and maintenance manuals are all in English) and have not had enough time to train. It takes about two years to become a competent F-16 fighter pilot; the Ukrainians have barely had six months to learn.
What’s the next hare-brained scheme from NATO? The US and its allies are green-lighting missile attacks deep inside Russia using US-made ATACMS ballistic missiles with a range of up to 190 miles. These attacks will hit civilian targets such as the Russian city of Belgorod, or critical military targets such as the Russian nuclear missile radar warning arrays.
Both types of attacks will bring a severe Russian response, including the final destruction of the entire Ukrainian power grid. This plan is just another example of failed escalation by the US and NATO and moves the world one step closer to nuclear war.
Werribee zoo yesterday, huge numbers of what appeared to be Malaysian muslims, mostly dressed normally but with hijab, one full on black letter box and one younger women who was wearing what at first glance appeared to be a baby carrier but on second appeared to be device to disguise her female assets.
I know women wore those in isis controlled parts of Syria but not here.
I find them isolationist and intimidating.
As for dealing with muslims.
Do like France
Licence clerics, monitor mosques, inflammatory preaching gets dual citizens booted, and/or mosques closed down, no call to prayer, no use of public spaces for prayer mats, no religious symbols in public buildings, no full face covering in public, (surgical masks are no real substitute though they wear them for religious reasons).
Then.
No chain migration. Don’t allow immigration from countries that won’t accept refused migrants or convicted criminals back.
Cap welfare per household. Refuse welfare to second, third and fourth wives, especially when offspring continue to be produced.
Don’t listen when they call it islamophobia.
“…It was piggy backed to one main Federal felony which the state has no jurisdiction over: electoral interference”
Err, campaign finance violation I believe.
Which is crap, because for such a violation to happen, the state of mind of the one making the payment doesn’t matter – all that matters is that the payment could only ever be described as made to further the campaign. That is, if there is any other plausible reason that people have made such payments previously, then there is no campaign finance violation. This is what the former FEC chairman (who was in charge for a decade or more and is a known “expert” on such matters) was going to testify about for the defense – until the judge prevented defense from asking such questions of that witness.
Not only that, but there have been previous cases where the representative that paid such “hush money” from campaign finances, has been convicted of breaking the very same rules! (that is, paying someone to stay quiet is not solely a campaign expense, so you can’t use donations to pay for it)
Even the bookkeeping misdemeanor is a bit of an odd thing – the records themselves were not public, nor used by any other entity for any purpose whatsoever. Who was “misled” by something no-one else ever saw?
In any case, why did the prosecution rely on a single witness (a convicted perjurer at that), when they could have called Trump’s CFO, who allegedly was part of the “conspiracy”? That man, also a convicted felon BTW, could have been called by the prosecution and given immunity for anything that came up during his testimony, so he wouldn’t have to “take the 5th” on any questions – something that he would likely have to do if the defense had called him, because defense can’t make an immunity deal, only prosecution can.
The worst part of Merchan’s “pick a crime, any crime” instructions is the lack of specificity in the charge – how can the defense introduce evidence of reasonable doubt about guilt when they are not sure what the exact crime being alleged is? This would arguably be a civil rights violation under the US constitution, as many with significant legal experience have already expounded upon – for example, Megan Kelly, who was a trial lawyer for 10 years before becoming a journalist, or Jonathan Turley, a professor of law.

What is absolutely appalling, and drives me to think that there is much unconscious and conscious bias in play, is that the two most commonly prescribed drugs, statins and antidepressants, are plagued by statistical and analytical uncertainty regarding their efficacy. Study after study, huge numbers involved, so many meta-analyses, and still confusion reigns.
I don’t care what anyone thinks about these drugs because there are so many contradictory opinions and results that the most logical approach is to harken back to Jack Cohen’s famous paper, heed McCloskey’s advice, and perhaps as Nate Silver argues in The Signal and the Noise, to listen to those who argue frequentist statistics should be abandoned not because of fault but because so many doctors and biomedical scientists lack the training and skills to correctly use those tools. No, I don’t think Bayes will solve the problem. I don’t know what will solve the problem.
Now, back to this …

Ah yes, the dams will never fill again.
Waragamba currently 98%.

Last few days in these parts have been rainy.
Soil is so damp we are seeing fogs already.
If it don’t stop raining, we’ll all be rooned – rooned I tells ya!
I mean, if it doesn’t start raining.
No, I mean if it doesn’t stop.
It’s climate extremes, that’s what it is!
Caused by humans, of course.
Because we aren’t the land of droughts and flooding rains or anything, right? No history of that, no sir!
Nonetheless Rosie, it’s pretty inhumane to keep them in a zoo.
They’re about to get their wish to be martyrs.
Herzog: ‘World should not be surprised when Israel retaliates against Hezbollah’ (5 Jun)
Chief of Staff in north: ‘We’re approaching point where a decision needs to be made’ (4 Jun)
Lebanese report: Israel to declare war in the near future (4 Jun)
All that looks like they’ve already made a decision to obliterate the Hezbies, but are preparing the Israeli population for the declaration of war. I take it to mean the Gaza theatre is well enough under control that the IDF can now afford to fight on a second front.
This will explode the heads of Biden’s antisemitic handler kiddies. It will be interesting to watch the US Administration tie itself into knots.
(Sad for the Israelis who will give their lives for this, but Israelis understand that survival can only be bought with the blood of their servicemen and women.)
Well… after writing to Senator Payman, the ALP and various conservative commentators (who usually write back to me, but haven’t this time) I’ve now written directly to the AEC Commissioner asking if they saw the legal advice that “let” the dual citizen Payman stand for office, whether they will share it or not (with threat of FOI) and if they believe it would stand in the HC, where a literalist interpretation of S44 would have her sacked.
It’s not been since my mediatory sessions with TheirABC over Nil-Again’s writing of a book for personal gain on the taxpayer dime (on Pell) since I’ve ventured into such shenanigans. Then, I also did write to the President of the Senate to inform them that Senator Culleton was elected as a bankruptee… that caused a bit of a stir! 😛

Hunter will probably get off but it’s amusing that his laptop, previously designated as Russian misinformation by 50 security shitheads, is the main evidence against hunter. The laptop has explicit images of hunter smoking crack, clothed and otherwise while brandishing the pistol he bought after lying on the forms. It also has him fuking underage girls and prostitutes, both federal offences. It also has corroborative evidence of the old pervert’s business (sic) dealings with foreign companies and countries.
And Trump is felonised for ostensibly misdescribing a business record.
Parvini on the Duran is very much worth watching.
Oh, just noticed I missed the Thurs OT. Might just let this run today and start the Weekend OT early.
Forgive me if I believe that this man – the historian Victor Davis Hanson is the finest, most incisive commentator on our world today. Also, forgive me if I have posted this analysis posted by him a few days ago. Read it and weep.
The Destructive Generation—Proving America’s Weakest Link
A single generation has broken apart the great chain of American civilizational continuance.
By Victor Davis Hanson
June 3, 2024
Governor Ronald Reagan, in his 1967 inaugural address, famously remarked, “Freedom is a fragile thing and it’s never more than one generation away from extinction.”
Reagan today might have expanded on his theme by declaring that civilization itself is both fragile and can lost by a generation that recklessly spends its inheritance while neither appreciating nor replenishing it—if not ridiculing those who sacrificed so much to provide it.
Such is the noxious epitaph of the Baby Boomer generation that is now passing after a half-century of preeminence and whose Jacobin agendas have nearly wrecked the nation they inherited.
In contrast to them, eighty years ago this week, the Allied powers of World War II—chiefly the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada—landed on five Normandy beaches to begin what Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, supreme commander of the Allied expeditionary forces, would call the great “crusade” to liberate Western Europe from four years of brutal Nazi occupation.
The plan was to land within a few hours and in stormy weather well over 150,?000 Americans, British, and Canadians on the Atlantic Coast beaches of France, where they were to charge directly into the fire of tens of thousands of enemy troops. They were to charge uphill in the sand while being fired upon by entrenched German troops occupying the hills above. From there, the beachhead was to serve as the launching pad for two million more troops, who were to somehow drive eastward through France and into Germany to end the war and the devastation the Third Reich had inflicted on the world.
All that was accomplished in the ensuing 11 months. That can-do American generation assumed that impoverished teenagers emerging from the Great Depression, with equipment often inferior to their seasoned German enemies, would, over the ensuing months, surely prove able to route Waffen SS veterans. Many of them were hastily transferred from the murderous Eastern Front, such as the nihilist 2nd SS Panzer Division das Reich (“The Empire”). No matter, the Americans did the impossible in less than a year—from the Normandy beaches to well across the Rhine River.
That same generation went on to save South Korea, build an anti-totalitarian world order, defeat Soviet communism, and pass on to the Baby Boomer generation the strongest economy, military, and political system in history, or, to paraphrase the poet Horace, “monuments more lasting than bronze.” Or so we, the inheritors, thought.
And what are the now septuagenarian and octogenarian children of the veterans of Omaha Beach and Iwo Jima, leaving as their own legacy?
The self-infatuated and do-your-own-thing generation that gave us the Sixties and the counterculture has left the country $36 trillion in debt, now borrowing $1 trillion nearly every three months. Worse, there is not just no plan to balance budgets, much less to reduce the debt, but also no intention to stop or even worry about the borrowing of some $10 billion a day.
The U.S. military is almost unrecognizable to that of just a few decades ago. It was humiliated in Kabul. In surrealistic fashion, it abandoned some $50 billion in lethal weaponry to the Taliban—along with our NATO allies, American contractors, and loyal Afghans. And our supreme command labeled that rout a brilliant retreat. Meanwhile, the military suffers from depleted inventory of key munitions while being short 45,000 annual recruits.
The Pentagon is torn by internal dissension over DEI, woke, anti-meritocratic promotions, and a politicized officer class—well, apart from now also being outmanned and outgunned by the Chinese. Many of the world’s key maritime corridors—the Red Sea, the Straits of Hormuz, the Black Sea, and the South China sea—are apparently beyond our navy’s ability to ensure the world safe transit.
For perceived cheap political advantage, the Baby Boomers destroyed the southern border, most recently allowing in nearly 10 million unaudited illegal aliens. With the disappearance of our national sovereignty, so too was lost the once-cherished idea of a melting pot of legal immigrants arriving in America longing to assimilate, to integrate in self-reliant fashion, and to show gratitude for the chance of something far better than what they left.
The country’s major cities are increasingly medieval, with a million homeless camped on fetid streets. Criminals terrorize the law-abiding. They assume their violence will be contextualized away by vacuous “critical legal” or “critical race” or “critical penal” theories. This generation releases violent felons to prey on the weak and sheds hardly a tear as police officers are shot unnoticed at the rate of nearly one a day.
America’s once great universities—such as Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, and MIT—are now into their fourth year of abolishing much of their prior standards. The youth who sought to wreck them from the outside in the 1960s now succeed in finishing the job as elders on the inside. These bankrupt campuses now adjudicate admissions and hiring by race, tribe and gender and then wonder why their students are entitled, ignorant, and arrogant yet unable to meet the very standards that the universities once insisted were critical to ensuring their preeminence.
Worse, the more elite the campuses, the more they became hotbeds of unapologetic anti-Semitism, gratuitous violence, and hatred for the country’s very institutions that guarantee their own freedom of action and speech. Who taught them and allowed them to think that as they illegally occupied buildings, defaced and defiled monuments, and shouted Jew hatred, they were absurdly entitled to free food deliveries and amnesties?
A rapacious higher education welcomed in profitable anti-American students and billions of dollars in hostile foreign cash from those who mock the laws of their host and feel a covetous America can be bought for 10 cents on the dollar. And as we learned after October 7, they were mostly correct.
Abroad, our nomenklatura opportunistically demonizes a democratic Israel trying to fight a terrorist Hamas that slaughtered 1,200 mostly unarmed citizens at a time of peace in the most grotesque fashion of the 21st century.
Yet our elite cannot distinguish killers from our democratic allies. Hamas deliberately drafted their own citizens to serve as shields to protect the terrorists safely ensconced in the tunnels below—on the sick assurance that Israel would surely try to avoid killing civilian shields whom the cynical Hamas apparat deliberately exposed to protect itself.
America hectors its most loyal ally in a way it does not its chief enemies, communist China and theocratic Iran. Not content with hiding its role in birthing the gain-in-function COVID-19 virus, now with impunity China helps kill 100,000 Americans a year through the export of fentanyl. It sends nearly 30,000 adult males into the US illegally. It relies on the espionage abilities of its students and visitors —and apparently exempt spy balloons—to ensure the People’s Liberation Army’s technological parity with the U.S.
But the greatest baleful legacy of this fading generation is the
weaponization of the government against its own perceived American citizen enemies. That bastardization of institutions extends now to the very destruction of the once-hallowed tradition of American jurisprudence.
The degeneration was not just that our government and its political ancillaries cooked up the Russian collusion hoax that warped the 2016 campaign and crippled a presidency—but that, to this day, its unapologetic architects remain smug that they pulled it off and would do it again.
Ditto the efforts of “intelligence authorities” to delude the American people about “Russian disinformation” and the Hunter Biden laptop. The Sixties generation’s new normal is to impeach a president twice, to try him as a private citizen, and to seek to remove him from state ballots.
All that was now characteristic of a generation that learned in the 1960s that if it did not get its way, it would wreck what it could not control. So, it was logical that it sought to pack the court, to end the filibuster, to destroy the Electoral College—and to corrupt the law to achieve political ends. Or as the Sixties generation taught us, “by any means necessary”—an arrogant affirmation of Machiavelli’s dictum that “the ends justify the means.”
Now we are left with a final toxic gift from this generation: the destruction of jurisprudence, a system designed not to easily protect the popular and admired but those often pilloried in the public square, the unorthodox, eccentric, and unliked.
Even Trump’s antagonists know that had Donald Trump been a man of the left, or had he not run again for president, he would never have been charged, much less convicted, of felonies or been punished with nearly a half-billion dollars in legal fees and fines.
We all accept that the charges brought against him by a vindictive and left-wing Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, Fani Willis and Jack Smith—all compromised by either past politicized prosecutorial failures or boasts of getting Trump—have never before been brought against any prior political figure or indeed any average citizen. They were instead invented to target a single political enemy. So what hallowed law, what constitutional norm, what ancient custom, or what Bill or Rights has the fading left not destroyed in order to erase Donald Trump from the political scene?
There is now no distinction between state and federal law. Once a prosecutor targets an enemy, he can flip back and forth between such statutes to find the necessary legal gimmick to destroy his target.
Statutes of limitations are no more as errant prosecutors and political operatives in the legislature can change laws to dredge up supposed crimes of years past, to destroy their political enemies, by employing veritable bills of attainder.
The very notion of an exculpatory hung jury depends on who is to be hung.
Judges can overtly contribute to the political opponents of the accused before them. Their children can profit in the tens of millions by selling to politicos their relationship to the very judge who holds the fate of their political opponents in his hands.
In sum, the First Amendment guaranteeing the right of the defendant to free speech is now not applicable. Asymmetrical gag orders are.
The Fourth Amendment is now torn to shreds by those who boast of “saving democracy.” When the FBI, on orders from a hostile administration, storms into the home of the leading presidential candidate and ex-president’s home, armed to the teeth, treats a civil dispute as a violent felony, and then doctors the evidence it finds, then constitutional insurance against “unreasonable searches and seizures” becomes a bitter joke for generations.
The Fifth Amendment’s protection that no person “shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law” has been destroyed when an ex-president cannot summon expert legal witnesses to testify on his behalf and when he cannot bring in evidence that contradicts his accusers. There is no due process when one ex-president is indicted for the very crimes his exempted successor has committed.
The Sixth Amendment’s various assurances are now kaput. No one believes that Trump was tried “by an impartial jury of the State”—not when prosecutors deliberately indicted him in a city where 85 percent of the population voted against him and are by design of a different political party.
No longer will an American have the innate right “to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor” when Donald Trump was never informed by prosecutor Alvin Bragg of the felony for which he was charged, with little advance idea of all the hostile prosecutorial witnesses to be called, and with no right to call in experts to refute the prosecution’s bizarre notion of campaign finance violations.
The Seventh Amendment is likewise now on the ash heap of history. The publicity-seeking judge Arthur Engoron, a political antagonist of Trump, warped the law in order to serve as judge, jury, and executioner of Trump’s fate, without recourse to a jury of even his biased New York peers.
The Eighth Amendment will offer assurance no longer to the American people that “excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.”
Donald Trump was fined $83.3 million in the E. Jean Carroll case for an alleged assault of three decades past, brought by partisan manipulative waving of the statute of limitations, with the politicized accuser having no idea of the year the assault took place, with her accusations arising only decades later when Trump became a political candidate, with her own employers insisting she was fired for reasons having nothing to do with Donald Trump, and with her narrative eerily matching a TV show plot rather than any provable facts of the case.
By what logic was Trump fined $175 million for supposedly inflated asset valuation to obtain a loan that was repaid with interest to banks that had no complaint? Since when does the state seek to inflict such “unusual” punishments for a crime that never before had existed and never will again henceforth?
In sum, our departing weak-link generation leaves us this final Parthian shot— that when a toxic ideology so alienates the people who are rising up to prevent its continuance, then the desperate architects of such disasters can dismantle the rule of law to destroy its critics.
And so, a single generation has broken apart the great chain of American civilizational continuance. But if this weak-leak generation thinks the evil that they wrought is their last word, they should remember the warning of a great historian:
“Indeed men too often take upon themselves in the prosecution of their revenge to set the example of doing away with those general laws to which all alike can look for salvation in adversity, instead of allowing them to subsist against the day of danger when their aid may be required.” – Thucydides 3.84.3
Speaking of trusting the science:

Of course there’s no chance that organizations with billions in funding would pump out their propaganda via fake papers in attempts to flood the market. That would be un-sciency.
As a reserve soldier in the 1970s I saw some bad behaviour from fellow teenage diggers
As a reserve soldier in the 1970’s, female soldiers fell into two categories. “We can do anything you guys can do” and “We may not be able to carry such a heavy load such a long distance, but we will do our best.”
I only remember one incidence of bad behavior from the soldiery, and the offender copped a punch on the nose from one of the other diggers.
Labor and Greens have resisted exploration and extraction of onshore gas reserves for years, despite it being the only short-term firming option apart from coal.
Madeline King has just been interviewed by Tom Connell and has demonstrated either ignorance or blocking on this topic.
Is she competent to be Resources Minister? Or is she so ideologically bound to climate alarmism and green catastrophism that she will not answer truthfully any question about gas reserves?
I am totally sick of pollies and journos in lockstep about scare questions regarding where nuclear power plants will go. In France they are quite close to villages with no issues. Here they could go where coal plants are being shut down. Small modular reactors will be easy to locate where they will not scare the punters, but Labor, Greens, Teals and the left generally (including a large percentage of the media) don’t want to be supportive.
Hence they are all assisting the demolition of our industries and thereafter our financial viability. Shame!!
Hilarious watching Sky News lefty Tom Connell interviewing federal resources minister Madeleine King.
King regards Connell as a tribal enemy because he asks questions about Labor policy, whereas 90% of the news media regard Labor policy as a rightwing reactionary defence of the system that is not moving fast enough to dismantle free market capitalism.
King is embarrassed that Victoria’s communist state government has approved a new gas mining project in Bass Strait to stop the hippie electricity grid failing in the years ahead and is trying to spin it as a win for the inner-Melbourne seats where Greenfilth radicals are threatening to eliminate what’s left of Labor’s wafer-thin federal parliamentary majority.
Watch for clips of that interview tonight. Very entertaining.

Can you imagine if the same charges faced by D J Trump, the best President they’ve had in my opinion, had been brought to BillandKillary. All those involved in it would be dead by now.
On the Hunter laptop, which has now proved to be entirely genuine and now the subject of legal proceedings…
I’m less interested in what happens to that sack of pus who the fawning media title “First Son” (yech) than in what happened to the poor techie who handed the thing in.
He was harassed, threatened, his business closed down and he had to move to another state. In short, his life as he had planned it, was ruined and he had to start again.
