When parody becomes reality.
Whilst the Globalist cabals remain in the majority in the EU, it is clear that the trend is against them.
Obviously, there are two possibilities for the EU elitists.
Regrettably, I think the self serving, tyrannical, obtuse EU leaders, like Jupiter, von der Crazy, Michel et al, will opt for the latter.
Like our own Caesers, they couldn’t give a flying f#$k about the European population and to reverse, what have been catastrophic policies for every nation in Europe, is simply a step they will not take.
We shall see what happens.

BREAKING: GENERAL MILLEY WAS IN DIRECT COMMUNICATION WITH SUSAN RICE IN THE LEADUP TO JAN 6
OBAMA’S NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR
AND THE PERSON WHO UNMASKED GENERAL FLYNN
You’re just playing with words now, JC. You began this with the claim that China started it, only to find that, no, Philippines and Vietnam had a massive head start, and so now you’re focusing on the size of the ‘land grab’.
I’m not playing with words at all. You made the claim that the CCP wasn’t the first to create artificial islands and by doing so ignoring what’s going on. Actually, the CCP is the first to begin a land grab, which would be defined as exactly what the CCP has been doing since 2014. Not only has the CCP constructed countless islands for military bases, but it’s also claims almost the entirety of the South China Sea as its own.
100 acres over 45 years is a massive head start, is it?
Next, can you provide evidence the “massive” acreage (100 over 45 years) those countries established were for military purposes?
It wasn’t the first; that is established. You passed over that and shifted to new ground; that it simply created larger islands compared to the others. As to whether the reasons for this are ‘military’? They’re strategic, exactly like China’s.
Of course I shifted to new ground for the simple reason that 100 acres over 45 years isn’t the land grab that you were insinuating with the “not the first” claim.
Moreover, you ignore what China is doing, which is the very definition of a land grab.

Apple could be in trouble if this happens, and Tim Cook deserves it too for taking away ads from Twitter.
I would.
Musk is saying he won’t allow Apple phones at his businesses because of security reasons.
You shifted ground because you were wrong and your rhetorical question failed to hit the mark. And I’m not ignoring what China is doing. It’s just no different to what any of the others are doing; they can just do it on a scale the others can’t because they’re far better resourced.
I replied to your irrelevant remark that because a couple of nations created 100 acres of islands over a 45 year span, therefore they made the CCP do it – create 3000 acres of militarized islands and claim nearly all of the South China Sea. This CCP caper occurring since 2014. Moreover, those nations weren’t claiming all of the South China Sea.
No, JC, you asked rhetorically, ‘Who started it?’ and I answered and sunk that question. You then shifted to ‘But China has done it on a larger scale’. Don’t care. As to this last bit, “those nations weren’t claiming all of the South China Sea”, nothing hinges on whether they are making the same or different claims. They’re different nations with differing claims, although China’s and Taiwan’s are largely identical for the obvious reason.
Dover
I’m not playing your silly game. The point of contention isn’t 100 acres over a period of 45 years, it’s what’s been going on since 2014, which for the CCP, is the very definition of a massive land or sea grab. The-other-side -made-me-do-it is starting to wear thin these days.

Hunter Biden was dramatically found guilty of three criminal charges today in his blockbuster gun and drugs trial.
A jury in Wilmington, Delaware unanimously convicted Joe Biden’s son of two counts of lying on a federal government form to buy a gun, and one count of possessing the firearm while abusing drugs.
Jurors deliberated for less than three hours after a trial that had lasted over a week.
The swift and historic conviction marks the first time a sitting U.S. President’s child has been found guilty of a federal crime.
Hunter nodded slowly and appeared resigned as the guilty verdicts were read out.
The conviction will put to the test a public promise by Joe Biden that he will not pardon his son.

It was warm last evening and Wifey was planning a dinner with ice-cream as part of the dessert. I went down the street and bought a small tub from a ice-cream parlor, which I paid for with my Visa card
This afternoon, I just received an email ad from the chain. Seriously, WTF? Is Visa now selling private information. This is no coincidence either.
Lizzie, sorry to hear your specialist gave you the bums rush.
I swear, some of these cosmetic surgeons are mercenary sharks.
A total pain in the arse.
Anyway, don’t rush into anything.
Watch a few episodes of “Botched” first.
The quest to retain/regain perkiness is often tinged with regret.
Sancho, trust me, Lizzie needs none of the services of any wanna-be Nassif or Dubrow – just a good GP who gives a continental about her health and well-being and not about maximising his returns.
Thanks, Tinta.
One of the perils of looking a bit younger (sixties rather than eighties) when one is older was brought home to me yesterday. Hairy had dropped me off at impossible-to-park St. Vincents Hospital Private Clinic in the inner city on the way to see his physiotherapist in North Sydney, and I said I’d get the bus home rather than a taxi. I’ve never done that before, lol. Quite an adventure. He told me where the bus-stop was at Kings Cross and I walked up to it. Used my aged-discount Opal Card for the one and only perk (pace BBee, there is no ‘few’ here) that the govmint giv us, and plonked myself down in a window seat, which I then noticed was for elderly ‘priority’. Suits me, I thought, until other elderly people started getting on and staring at me for taking up an elderly person’s seat. So I moved up to the stepped back-of-the-bus. Didn’t want to make a fuss, but had to hang on tight as the bus careered to a stop at our street, nearly catapulting me down the aisle. The driver had been so careful with all the other elderlies too, even getting out and helping with the wheely-chair folk.
Yes, ‘cosmetic’ surgeons are total sharks, GP’s creating havoc by going where they shouldn’t. It’s the ‘plastic’ surgeons who do the proper work. lol, Sancho, you don’t even know the difference. Live on in happy ignorance.
Luckily my upper assets are still in good enough shape without any of the efforts of either of these sorts of medicos. Bums rush though is the right term for my treatment yesterday by Dr. High and Mighty. My poor rear is in bad shape, not in appearance but in general sitting-down function, and I could do with some TLC and proper answers re it. Luckily a few extra kilos to sit on, so Dr. Google tells me, is not a bad thing when nursing a severely fractured coccyx.
Anyway, dear Hairy has expended effort yesterday putting together the new office chair he has thoughtfully purchased for me and which I am currently sitting on. It is so much better than the old dining chair I have been using. This one swivels and has arms so I can easily turn from the desk raise myself out of it. Greater love hath no man, I commend to him.
Today is a big one for Kemmerer—for the coal plant workers who will be able to see their future job site being constructed across the highway, for the local construction workers who will be part of a 1,600-person skilled labor force building the plant, and for the local businesses that will take care of the new workforce.

As a long term resident of the region, I never liked it aesthetically. But, it’s there, and for a while there was even a revolving restaurant.
The money shot is the view. In autumn, the patchwork of colours rivals what you see on the train to Canada, At other times, it is still spectacular.
There is no doubt that it could be made into a viable business, until you hit the ACT gubbmint’s web of regulation. Only a disabled blind transexual could operate the lift, with a carer and support person.
All of them would need to have periods of paid leave for training, respite and surgery.
What should be a no-brainer for tourism is boarded up. Like the attractions taken over by local government mentioned above (also boarded up) the dead hand of regulation kills everything.
It’s still 42 I’m afraid.

Hunter’s guilty verdict is being retailed by the special council and all the media as “nobody is above the law”. This serves two purposes. One, to try and tarnish Trump, and secondly to paper over the completely opposite attempt to give Hunter an astonishing plea deal that smacked of very special treatment indeed. Fortunately the judge back then wouldn’t go along with it, so it has now been memory-holed and the newly packaged chook feed is that nobody is above the law.
I’ll wait until after the actual sentencing before celebrating the resurgence of American jurisprudence.
It’s probably also best to wait until Biden is out of office to see if daddy pardons him.
The charges are also the least that they could possibly bring against Hunter. His financial dealings closely allied with The Big Man are obviously beyond examination.
BBC NewsHour this morning in the second half ran a long diatribe by some American academic against Big Fossil.
Big Fossil is so rich it can control the flow of disinformation and misinformation! Note: how this differs from Big Media is unclear.
Big Fossil is nasty and wants to preserve its money flows at any cost, so is spreading lies to hurt noble little Renewables.
Someone should tell the Beeb “never go Full Fossil Retard”.
They might try to say it’s not us, it’s that academic that said it.
But they obviously approve the message.
What it reveals is their fear that the plan is failing, that the wheels are falling off EVs big time, and that everyone is realising that net zero has net zero sense.
One look at the British countryside on TV tells you the renewables scam owns the political establishment (as well as the media establishment) with giant monuments to 19th century backwardness as far as the eye can see.
God’s bounty, fossil fuels, still do all of civilisation’s heavy lifting, but are now a pariah because they aren’t fashionable with stupid people — including the BBC.
This Commissioner is also the woman who believes she is ‘protecting’ vulnerable children when she shuts down debate on the whole issue of the perils of physically ‘transitioning’ children.

The Anglo tradition of savage political and social satire (I’m thinking specifically of Jonathan Swift at the moment) is a huge part of what made our culture what it is, or was.

Militant vegans deface the Charles III blood portrait.
Major update issued on King Charles’s new portrait after eco-activists vandalised picture (11 Jun)
Yes, you have it right in one: they are actually protesting cheese.
As a sub-assistant cheesemaker, I can confirm that cheesimals are caged 29 hours per day, beaten with 2nd-hand, unwashed rugby socks, and tortured by playing Celine Dion songs at 4 x normal speed for precisely 117 minutes three times daily until they excrete a minimal volume of 3 litres of liquid cheese from BOTH ears, after which they are fed an eggcup of grapefruit rind and sedated with a tennis racquet. It’s all perfectly above-board.
I’d like to see the Commissioner’s face when he gets the letter from HRH Charles:
“Commissioner. You are required to attend His Majesty’s presence to explain the failure to secure the Official Portrait of His Majesty, and the failure of the Constabulary to arrest the Vandals responsible for the action.”
Yeah like that’s going to happen – Charles has no intention of defending the Monarchy.
“Those of us who have constantly focused on the lack of a clear dividing line between Hamas terrorists and the “innocent civilians” that the Gazans wail about were proven correct again, as these four hostages were found to have been held in “civilian” apartments, registered to Gazan civilians, but under 24-hour guard by Hamas militants, clearly making a mockery of the innocence of such “civilians.”

UN food agency pauses aid work at US pier in Gaza over security concerns after 2 warehouses ‘rocketed’

Rescued Israeli hostages describe punishments, fear and isolation
For six months, the three men lived in a single dark room, sleeping on small mattresses on the ground.
Their sole contact with the outside world came from the guards who brought them food and at times abused them. They could hear the Gazan family that lived downstairs, including children, but never met them. One day, when the family went out, they were allowed downstairs to use the kitchen.
Their captors doled out punishments if the captives didn’t follow their strict rules, including locking them in the bathroom and piling blankets on them during the hot summer. They repeatedly threatened to kill them.
The hostages played cards, studied Arabic, taught each other Hebrew or Russian and kept time in journals. The three became close friends, and it was that bond that helped them through the ordeal.
Their guards at times told them that no one cared about them or was coming for them.
But one day, they were allowed to watch Al Jazeera’s Arabic broadcast and saw a rally in Tel Aviv by the families of the hostages. One of them spotted his own face among those whose freedom was being demanded. It also happened to be his birthday, which he knew because the captives had a notebook and were able to keep track of the date.
“It made him feel he hadn’t been forgotten,” said Aviram Meir, the uncle of one of the hostages.
When Israeli special forces burst into a building in central Gaza on Saturday in a high-risk daylight operation, they got to the room where Almog Meir Jan, 22 years old, Andrei Kozlov, 27, and Shlomi Ziv, 41, had spent most of their time since they were taken captive from a music festival in Israel in the Hamas-led attacks on Oct. 7.
The account of their time as captives in Gaza is based on interviews with relatives of the hostages, and Israeli security and medical officials. Some of the details are being reported for the first time.
Much remains to be revealed about what the three men and Noa Argamani, 26, who was also taken captive at the music festival and rescued in the same operation from a building about 200 yards away, went through as captives. Relatives of the hostages said they were advised to not probe for details, and expect to learn more about their loved ones’ ordeals as time passes.
Israeli security officials have asked the hostages and their relatives to keep details of their captivity a secret.
Sky News ran an interview with a particular point of view, so they must have approved it:
“The Biden family are very grounded, a normal sort of family.”

If anyone wants an example of the verminous hypocrisy running amok in this country (and the West in general), and the different standards always applied to left and right politicians, here’s yet another example…..
On the weekend, a rabid frothing Nazi, a putrid little man who happens to head a far-left political party in this country called the Greens, addressed a pro-Pallie rally in Melbourne where the Hezbollah flag was proudly flown, where in attendance was a Nazi of Palestinian heritage who’s on record as saying at rallies that there’ll be more ‘events’ like October 7 2023, that October 7 2023 was just the beginning. Of course, Vic Plod haven’t bothered to charge or arrest this Pallie Nazi for his exhortations of violence. But these facts and threats, all out in the public space, didn’t stop this Greens Nazi from sharing a stage with this Pallie Nazi. I’m curious, does Adam Bandt desire more rapes and murders? It begs the question, just who is the bigger creep here, Adam Nazi or the Pallie Nazi? I dunno, but one thing I do know is that creep attract creep, and actually the more dangerous creep, the more insidious creep, is the little Green Nazi, because he and his fellow Nazis sit in and soil our parliament.
Which brings me to our very own Nazi here, who for years has come here and when not smearing innocent men as ‘rock spiders’, when not advocating for and laughing at violence against those whose opinions he doesn’t like, such as gender critical women such as myself, women who don’t want cocks in frocks in our private spaces, has long loved throwing around, with gay abandon, the smear….”Nazi”. In case you’ve forgotten, he wants to punch Nazis! Gosh, I hope then he attended the Melbourne rally on the weekend because there were lots of Nazis in attendance that day….to ‘punch’.
Anyone recall how Senator Anning was crucified for his words in a senate speech? Called ‘far-right’, ‘extreme right’, ‘Nazi”….yet the words and actions of real Nazis, like Faruqi and Bandt, are curiously ignored. No senate censure for them!
You all know how I have long called out this verminous hypocrisy, and no doubt some here think I have been vewy mean and rude calling out these hypocrites for what they are…..real Nazis….especially the one who visits here, but here’s the truth, we’re in a war, a war that exploded on October 7 2023, and until those of us on the right get off our polite treadmill and start throwing the truth at these frothing little Nazis we will continue to see the verminous hypocrisy and the never ending double standards run amok.
I say…NO MORE.
Finally, I’ve long said that the Greens are our very own Nazi Party. Greens MPs and senators are our very own Nazis, and those who vote for these Greens Nazis are themselves Nazi sympathisers and are no different to those Germans who voted for Adolf Hitler in 1933.
Last night I went to synagogue for a talk, it is something we always do on the festival of Shavuot. We’re supposed to stay up all night, study Torah, listen to people speak and debate/discuss and argue. A woman spoke about how she’s been doxxed, and she is currently enduring continuous harassment from pro-Palestinian far-left and Muslim Nazis. Her crime? She is a Jew, she is a proud Australian Jew and she is a proud Zionist. This woman said it is time for us to be brave, to stand up and to fight back. As she said, she is not for turning.
And nor is this writer, I am also a proud Jew, a proud Zionist.
Hear this…..
IT IS TIME TO FIGHT.
Plus ten million.
Cassie, while I don’t disagree with anything you’ve written, I fear that the word ‘Nazi’ has been repeated so often – normally against the right – that it has little, if any, meaning. Certainly the historical meaning would be largely unknown to anyone below the age of 40. I don’t yet have an alternative, however. (I’m referring to porcine filth beyond our clowder).
Bandt is an effeminate little man who seeks to be a revolutionary leader.
A grub who resembles Himmler in looks and behaviour.
Harsh, but fair.
Yep.
Himmler is an excellent moniker for Bandt. In future, he should be addressed as “Adam Himmler”. Even if his retarded acolytes do not know what the name means, A Himmler certainly will.
There’s a history of Greens leaders going fanatical in response to rank and file pressure. May explain the grubs position. There would be plenty of Greens even worse than Bandt.
You know about all these people “fighting climate change” and reducing “emissions”?
Well the truth is, these window licking morons are not winning.

GISS only records a 0.23 degree C increase over the last 130 plus years (is that even within the measurement errors?).
Scary graph here.
Yes, but “climate variability” just doesn’t do the job of scaring gullible children out of their wits and making them afraid of a non-existent bogeyman.
The primary driver of the climate change movement is making stupid people who believe in nothing hate themselves.

We need to start planning a party of vegetables for when it gets to 500 and they rejoice, but the Greens howl in terror.
The 9th Circuit win on the covid vaccine mandate could be enormous. Basically they are saying that any vaccine that doesn’t prevent transmission does not come under the Jacobsen vs Massachusetts ruling (a bizarre ruling in 1905 that has set precedent for the appalling vaccine mandates every American school has).
Of course, no vaccine prevents transmission of a disease for the simple reason that there is no such thing as transmission of a disease but if we just stick to the government talking points, the DTaP cannot be mandated according to the ruling because none of the components of that vaccine are capable of preventing someone having or passing on the supposedly pathogenic bacteria.
The same would go for the IPV (polio), as it would for Hep B (not so much because of the nature of that vaccine but the nature of how that virus supposedly spreads) as it would for the various meningitis vaccines.
The only vaccine left on the mandated schedule would be the MMR.
I repeat, I am only using government talking points about the nature of how each of these vaccines works according to them. In reality, no vaccine works in any manner and diseases are not contagious.
Everybody who believes diseases can be spread is a monumental imbecile. FMD. How often do I need to say it? If you believed that diseases could be spread you wouldn’t visit a doctor if someone was holding a gun to your head – and you certainly wouldn’t take your infant children there.
So how did you get VD?
Sounds like the sort of response Monty would give.
Be better.

To find a comfortable exile in the antipodes, courtesy our idiot political class.
Via one of Indolent’s links:
While written about Israel’s northern border and hezbollocks [as always, I refuse to compliment them by using their chosen name], this statement is equally applicable to the war in Gaza. In the latter, the prime combatants – h@m@s and pij [pronounced ‘pig’] have taken no responsibility for the civilian population, which allows them to focus their resources on fighting Israel. My point here is that when pro-porkers compare the technology of Israel’s armed forces with that of their idols [who would gut them without remorse], it is disingenuous, because Israel now – apparently – has the responsibility to feed and ensure the safety of the citizens their enemy refuses to acknowledge. This constrains Israel – the defender – and frees their enemy.
If the necessary thresholds are met, harassment is a criminal offence in NSW.
Indeed, and there are existing laws, but strangely, curiously and oddly there seems to be an unwillingness to use these laws against those who scream ‘f*ck the Jews’, who scream ‘kill the Jews’, and who scream ‘gas the Jews’ (and yes, those words were said on that dreadful October 9 night). In fact, if you’re of the left, the hard-left and a Muslim and you display genocidal antipathy towards Jews and Israel, the NSW Police will provide you with a first-class personal escort and stand back whilst you incite and harass.
But then again, the NSWaffen are able to rise to the occasion, like a morning glory special, helped along with a dose of Viagra from NSW Police HQ, because if you’re supposedly of the far-right yet haven’t broken any laws, if you’re catching a train at North Sydney station on Australia Day, the Viagra soaked NSW Police will swoop down on you like a furious magpie in spring in Centennial Park.
“including the Palestinians – are a bunch of racist Islamic fundamentalist c**** who won’t coexist with non-Muslims unless they’re a subjugated second class minority”
We are seeing the same creeping transition in every country in the Anglosphere because our governments won’t put a stop to islamic exceptionalism, this is what they are openly working towards and it is why hardline palestinians will never live in peace with their Jewish neighbours, their existence is an humiliation.
The hardliners need to be subjugated by in name only muslims.

That’s another point peaceniks don’t understand.
Even in muslim countries conflict is a constant as there will always be a group who thinks the current dictator’s brand is insufficiently islamic and will seek to overthrow it.
It’s the nature of the beast.
The Muslims are trying to organise an anti alp vote in certain seats. Laughable. During the 2019 election I was handing out for the libs. A Muslim lass had a go at me. She asked what the party had ever done e for her community . I said we are giving you a vote on gay marriage that the alp would just pass if they were in power. That got her. She tuned around muttering that they got more money and welfare from Labor. I don’t think that has changed.
Easily bought.
And she can be sure that the Marxist pervert war on religious schools waged by the ALP left and he Greens won’t apply to Islamic schools. Just look at the Gillard/McClellan leftist political sham of a royal commission.
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, 29 of the 151 federal electorates have 5 per cent or more people of Islamic faith – 27 of those 29 seats are held by Labor.
If Labor looked after the other 95% of the electorate they would not need to genuflect to the 5% that are Muslim.

Rory McIlroy’s divorce called off after wild backflip
In which case, if the legal threshold of criminal harassment has been met, there would be grounds to make a formal complaint about police refusing to investigate the matter. She could also obtain legal advice about civil action against the alleged culprits.
I would advise the lady concerned to keep scrupulous records of the incidents, if she hasn’t already, and to report to her doctor any adverse impacts on her mental or physical health.
It’s time to stand up to these bullies.
Importantly, we need ways for the rest of us as a community to expose this behaviour and demonstrate against it.

WokDoctor;
I wanted to see an insurance company reject a stolen vehicle claim after the coppers said leave your keys on the kitchen table for the thieves to steal.
Pathetic that we are put in this position by them.
Jarryd Haynes’s conviction for rape quashed. He now joins John Jarrett, Craig McLauchlan, Michael Diamond, Geoffrey Rush etc.
The grounds for the quashing were:
The trial judge erred in ruling the complainant did not have to give evidence about a 2021 interaction with the man she messaged the same day the jury found she was sexually assaulted in 2018, and that the judge’s ruling resulted in a miscarriage of justice.
The complainant had deleted her phone texts where she spoke about having a consensual root with Haynes.
The Rules of Evidence are being stretched tighter than a drum in this area of the law.
Under a fair justice system she should be charged with making false accusation and be subject to the same penalties she tried to inflict.
it was obviously a bullshit claim, just as knickerless
Clearly thats not the system we live under

Gee, I wonder what on Earth is going on with power bills? I’ve followed politics for a very long time and I can’t remember a time when a single govt gave out any energy subsidies (other than general concessional subsidies for disabled, centrelinked, aged).
In the last three years, every State now gives out a subsidy, including the Feds:
Does anyone notice a pattern here? And where is “our” media on this?

Annabel Crabb has a colossal whine about No Powerful Wimminzez in Australian Meeja Unfair!!!1! –
Australia’s media industry is no meritocracy. Instead, the shamelessness of mediocre men is rewarded with untold power
I wouldn’t bother clicking through as it is exactly what you’d expect from Crabb. However, she does exhibit somewhat less self-awareness than usual with the two prime examples of mediocre men she selected: Peter Costello and Ben Roberts-Smith.
Um, Annabel. Say what you want about these two, but if you look at what they’ve achieved in their lives, they are objectively far from mediocre. Unlike a certain ABC hack and her tedious commentary which unfailingly takes the form of a series of ill-advised forays into creaking humour and/or pseudo-gravitas.
What is it about the Left that causes them to lose all critical thinking processes? Ideology, no doubt. The latter is a scourge.
I am prepared to listen to a rant about unfairness from some women.
Not a craven nepo baby like Crabb.

you’re exactly the same sort of retard that Crabb is
Crabb is an utter lightweight. She should feel a twinge of embarrassment every time her salary hits her bank account – but I doubt she does.
No prizes for guessing who Annabel reckons should be a powerful media figure.

UK animal rights activists target King’s portrait
Animal rights protestors have covered an official portrait of King Charles III with the face of the eccentric, cheese-loving animation character Wallace to campaign for better animal welfare on farms.
In a video shared by Animal Rising, two campaigners are seen sticking an image of Wallace, from the Aardman characters Wallace and Gromit, on top of Charles’s face and a speech bubble at a London gallery.
Activists said the protest was aimed at raising awareness about practices at Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) certified farms.
Jonathan Yeo’s striking red portrait of Charles is on display at the Philip Mould Gallery in London, after being unveiled by the king himself last month.
The speech bubble pasted on Charles, who is an RSPCA patron, read: “No cheese, Gromit. Look at all this cruelty on RSPCA farms!” in a reference to Wallace’s faithful canine companion.
Off with their heads!
Apparently nobody was concerned enough to stop them and they had to wait around for a while to get any attention at all.
Big question asked.
Are men dissatisfied with their penis size more likely to own a gun? Researchers find out (Phys.org, 11 Jan)
Always fun when a widespread social meme gets overturned by scientific data. Got to love sociologists though, the B-Ark is going to packed with them.
The real mystery is where they found a Texan and a Florida man who would answer a sociologist’s questions at all.
Much less inquiries about the size of their penis and their feelz about it.
This was Texas A&M, not Austin, and it is possible that the researchers were normal humans and know gun owners very well and wanted to milkshake the wokesters.
This argument about coxxx and gunzzz is bloody irritating, and I remember being REALLY pissed off at The Australian about Oct 1996 when they gave the page opposite the Editorial to Phillip Adams, to explain that I and my friends like guns because our penises are too small to satisfy our wives. Just what a million innocent people being punished for Port Arthur needed to hear.
Had a coffee in Freo about 2000 with a clinical psych who was a prominent arguer against shooters on the Matilda forum. He expressed frustration that shooters repeatedly used the quote from Freud, that a fear of weapons was a sign of retarded social and sexual maturity. I agreed its a useless quote, but pointed out that we all had 30 years of idiots saying “Oh you like guns? Ahurrr, you know what Freud would say about that!1!!”
Many want Howard to be buried so they can take a dump on his grave. I am saving mine for that smug idiot Adams.
Did he leave his hat behind?

You can see why the Left wants to ban guns: the proles might get fed up enough use them on officious Karens like these.

men who are unhappy with the size of their penis are more apt to buy a gun
It’s way past time that truth was told about the normal size of vaginas, and therefore what size of penis is a good fit. Too big a penis causes problems.

While he pretends to care about the cost-of-living crisis, PM Anthony Albanese, a former federal transport minister, is campaigning to raise one of the key Australian economic input costs by at least 10% to eliminate competition in the trucking industry.
Robert Gottliebsen is today’s Paywallian:
I’m beginning to think that AnAl doesn’t expect (or want) to win the next election. His priority is to entrench in legislation every leftard wet dream, and leave the Libs to try to repeal it all with a hostile Senate.
Meanwhile, AnAl will have fixed himself up with a sinecure with the UN.

A crankshaft discovered in a steel billet. One of the best advanced manufacturing video presentations I’ve seen.
I love this shit.
The issue confronting the next generations is “How do we do this in a zero gravity, airless environment?”
OK you engineers – get cracking.
From the video, it’s interesting to note there is still a demand for low/semi skilled wukkas.
“How do we do this in a zero gravity, airless environment?”
Well, in zero G, you can at least create foamed steel…
In Zero Gravity, yes, but not airless. I can see the advantage in foamed steel, but quality control of bubble size and fracturing would be very difficult to maintain. You’d be better off – I think – manufacturing structural steel in 3d mesh. in which case, how do you roll steel from slab to 2mm thickness to make the mesh. Can’t do it with heavy rollers – you’d need hydraulic pressure rollers to exert enough force to flatten the hot slab.
Dunno – I’m not an engineer.
In a sane world the NSW DPP would resign over what she has done to Hayne. And in an even saner world, she would be in prison along with his false accuser.
Somebody in the conservative side of politics needs to come up with legislation that makes prosecutors face some kind of consequences for endless lawfare chasing social media approval. Eg, they have to put up a bond for every case they bring forward – if they lose they lose. And if it comes to light that prosecutors left out exculpatory evidence it is a mandatory 10 year prison sentence.
Of course, the LNP is only slightly less misandrist than the left so expect them to be just as disgusting trying to destroy men as the current Labor governments are.
Figures – the same thing is happening with Bernard Gaynor and Gary Burns. Despite the High Court ruling in favour of Bernard Gaynor, the NSW DPP refuses to stop Burns from persecuting him.
Something like >30 court actions by Burns to financially cripple Gaynor for standing up to him.
God bless you Indolent, you provide us with a lot of good reading. But I suspect that many Cats pass it by, because of the volume.
Could I put it an urgent recommendation for one of Indolent’s posts this morning? It is a short (8 mins) discussion by the indomitable Victor Davis Hanson on the the fact that the West is on the cusp of disintegration as a result of societal and economic transformation. It has been posted in the last few days. It is a compelling argument and has serious implications for all of us.
Hanson is right that the West has been captured by a Left consisting of the media, the academy and those who control the corporate world. Gramsky predicted it all. We live in dangerous times.

The report I heard (and I just caught it so might not be 100% correct) said he would be up for another trial. I am not sure if that was from the DPP or just enthusiastic wishful thinking by the radio j’ism.
It would be a tad unusual for a DPP to announce another trial without carefully reading the judgement, but here we are.
They can still get him for that forward pass and the head-high tackle.

The greater majority of predictions are wrong. When someone makes a prediction examine all their prior predictions. That will give us some idea of how accurate they are.
An example from just yesterday. A trader stated that next year we will experience a depression greater than the Great Depression. Later that night I read an analysis by 3 economists who predicted the future is uncertain but it certainly won’t be disastrous.
Well JC, if Victor Davis Hanson is wrong he will be in good company. Although he is a splendid historian and very prescient social commentator, there are countless commentators who note the predicament of western civilisations at the moment.
As I recently wrote to Hanson, who is a formidable classical scholar, there are many great transitions in human history of which contemporaries were unaware, however the threat of great military commanders and the breakdown of many of the social and moral traditions of Rome in the late Republic is not one of them. They were acutely, and tragically aware, of the decline of their political and social fabric. And they were right.
I suspect that those of us who think that the post war (WW I & II) affluence of western nations is contributory to their decline will be proved to be correct.
It doesn’t matter how well informed or the company a person keeps. Prediction is precarious and we should develop a metric to assess the quality of predictions. “Prediction is difficult, especially about the future.” How’s that Doomsday Clock ticking? Japan’s economy should have imploded 20 years ago. People thought nuclear war was inevitable. Many people believe predictions because of confirmation bias. How many people engage in the analysis I mentioned? It at least provides a baseline. Hansen thinks the Left is in control but just yesterday people were celebrating the ascendence of the Right in Europe. There is already a rebound response occurring against wokery and immigration there and here.
John H, Indolent isn’t making predictions as such – he’s providing links for readers to look at and make their own minds up.
Bob, I think JC may be referring to Victor Davis Hanson.
I know that. Not my point. Predictions have a terrible track record. “Economic forecasting was created to make astrology look respectable.” The trader I mentioned has a long history of making predictions which are nearly always wrong.
This may come as a surprise John H. But there is more to life and human affairs than “trading”.
As the rest of the Western World has discovered Aus has a Minister for Men’s Behaviour, Ryan Long has decided to come here and take the position as Minister for Women’s Behaviour.

Bruce Lehrmann asked for $13,250 following alleged ‘extensive damage’ to Sydney apartment
By liam mendes
Bruce Lehrmann is being asked to pay $13,250 for alleged “extensive damage” at the multimillion-dollar property in the north-eastern Sydney suburb of Balgowlah provided for him by Seven Network, and pay lost rent.
The former Liberal staffer failed on Wednesday to appear at the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal, where on Wednesday it was heard Lady Gaenor Meakes, the property owner who launched proceedings against him, was seeking $13,250 for coverage of alleged damage.
Her daughter Matilda Meakes, a paralegal appearing on her behalf, confirmed the scope of the claim, stating $13,250 was the amount her mother was claiming. The bond payable for the premises was $10,600.
Mr Lehrmann recently filed an appeal to the Full Court of the Federal Court following his landmark defamation suit loss in April this year during which Justice Michael Lee found, on the balance of probabilities, that he sexually assaulted Brittany Higgins inside Parliament House on the morning of March 23, 2019. The defamation suit was against presenter Lisa Wilkinson and Network 10.
For the Balgowlah apartment, there are two proceedings against Mr Lehrmann: the first, relating to alleged property damage and the second to loss of outstanding rent, with the tribunal previously hearing the two proceedings would likely run together.

Bingo daughter trying to get in on the get Bruce action to make a future name in the legal biz after she finishes her bridging law degree.
LOL she wants $13k & bond was $10K. Percentage wise loss to bond ratio I’ve lost worse than that with much less amounts. FFS kiss it good bye and put him on the negligent tenant data base instead of wasting everyone’s time at NCAT…
See either he isn’t being invited to the party or couldn’t be bothered dealing with it at the moment, if he isn’t showing.

Despite election wins, be it the 2016 Trump election win, the miracle win of Morrison in 2019, the landslide win by the UK Tories in 2019, despite the elevation of Meloni in Italy, despite numerous other examples, the left remain in control across the West. The left controls bureaucracies, corporations, education, academia, big tech, sporting bodies, the judiciary, the law, publishing, media, even the head of the American Library Association is a f*cking Marxist. I could go on. For effs sake, even the Bureau of Meteorology and our police forces have been politically corrupted by leftism.
Whilst there are some bright spots, the outlook remains gloomy, however those bright spots are such things as Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter (now X) in 2022, and then there there are politicians and governments that have pushed back against the left, successfully too but the push back comes at a price. There is Orban in Hungary however the US and EU are busy trying to get rid of him, there’s Ron DeSantis in Florida, and of course, there’s Milei in Argentina. Why, according to the left, these people are all either ‘far-right’ or ‘Nazis’ I note that the left, unable to beat Milei electorally, are now trying to smear him as a peterfile……LOL……except it isn’t funny.. The left will stop at nothing to smear, to besmirch and to silence their ideological enemies. Just ask the late George Pell, ask Donald Trump, ask Bolsonaro…..ask even Bibi, busy fighting a war, but now targeted by lawfare.
VDH is a seer of sorts, a man who I listened to a lot in 2020. Everything he said during the year of Georgina Floyddina and the accompanying riots has turned out to be true, I find him very measured, very articulate, very knowledgeable and almost always….very accurate..

Even the SMH sometimes publishes something worth reading. (Apart from Noel Whittaker’s financial advice, which is always good).
Today it was a nice obituary by Michael Easson on John MacBean, a Labor man of an integrity rarely seen today.
Why do I mention this here? Because MacBean (who was a centrist with no ideological objection to private enterprise) fought to stop Simon Holmes a Court’s corporate vulture of a father taking over BHP. Why? Because his raiding would probably spell the end of the Australian steel industry.
Bob Carr, by the way, was sound enough when he had sensible members of the working classes like Ducker, Unsworth and MacBean to keep his feet on the ground. Without them, he has disappeared up himself.
Cassie earlier:-
m0nster breathlessly reported here yesterday that Milei was “facing charges” of being (to use his favourite mis-characterisation) “a rock-spider”.
The implication being that he was facing criminal charges. It later transpired that the “charges” related to a possible, maybe, threatened civil lawsuit which might be brought by a discredited left-wing feral j’ism.

File this in ‘how to stand up for yourself’ when you feel like roadkill in the medical headlights.
I told Hairy about not getting the info I needed re my displaced fractured coccyx due to a specialist medical consultation that lasted under five minutes. He was all for getting in touch himself with senior medical people he knows personally at that hospital from his own senior exec networking days, who sit on the main oversight committee for morbidity and mortality, including malpractice, but I said no. That might be unfair. Also, I will fight my own battles. This morning I wrote out my actual and detailed clinical concerns for which I said I sought full medical disclosures before deciding upon treatments and emailed them directly to the clinician.
A very quick invitation ensued to meet up tomorrow to clarify things.
I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt.
Maybe he just had a too busy day yesterday.
But don’t be afraid of taking them on. Put it down in writing. As Gilas said, he who knows the medical insiders well, going through the ‘proper’ channels of the HCCC might get you an apologetic letter sometime next year and no changes. Direct action – as Cassie has said it is not just for the left – we on the irate centre-right should also practice it. It shows the limits of our tolerance.
Well done, Lizzie! I have not ever thought about a written complaint. I just change GPs or specialist. But you are right to do so. Who knows, it may just cause them to change their (often) supercilious treatment of patients.

The American Library Association has been a Marxist organisation for the last 30 years. Over 25 years ago, as part of my job, I was on a listserv with a lot of American librarians who were rather uncomplimentary about their top professional body. I expect our own ALIA isn’t any better.

Oh and he’s also the cove who was attacked with the axe/ hammer by a juvenile mob a few months back.
Coroner has refused an adjournment.
So he will quite possibly be the only person in court unrepresented while they attempt ” procedure” to make the family feel better.

They are in an analogous situation to terrorist organizations who take advantage of not being part of a government to operate without sanctions or legal responsibility.
Yup totally Vagabond.
I don’t know what the SFLs are up to but they should appeal the AEC decision. Just go to the Climate200 page and see it badged in teal with pictures on every page of Zoe, Steggals etc… its ridiculous.
Dutton should understand: You have to take out the cnuts before announcing cuts to climate goals… they are the real enemy as the public would expect attacks from other parties but the grey Teals… they disgust me for starters….
“the grey Teals”
Lysander, I have long thought of the filthy Teals as “Ducks”. They duck underwater as soon as threatened, and shit all over the place.

Doctors Revolt Against ‘Gender-Affirming’ Child Mutilation In Defense Of Basic Biology
Dickie Dawkins, whose day job when he wasn’t trying to commit deicide was as a biologist, is now being cancelled or saying the same thing.
We are only at the start of the reaction but momentum is building.
The spurious ‘science’ on gender issues published in respectable journals like Nature should now be addressed and called out for the nonsense it pushes. It uses medical anomalies found in intersex individuals, which are due to chromosomal errors during mitosis and meiosis in early embryological development, to argue for an invented ‘biological continuum’ rather than the two basic human sexes within which, as a process of nature, there is of course much individual variation in sexual expression.
This variety is due to our complex human developmental, environmental and social plasticity. Put simply, many factors impinge on how we experience and view the sex within which we were born and which gives us our basic bodily patterning. Our brain plasticity means we are very open to change via social pressures; but we can never ‘change’ our foundational sex. Genetic errors that produce intersex individuals are no evidence of more than two sexes. These people are rare and need medical help to ascertain how best they can function.
Added to this pseudo-science of belief in a ‘continuum’ of ‘sexes’ rather than just two basic and stable sexes in human evolution, there is published risibly ‘peer reviewed’ material on the range of psychological ‘genders’ that is married to this biological continuum concept. Fake as can be. Think of a number, double it, take away the number you first thought of, and try to believe you’ve arrived at something stunning and new – it’s that sort of sleight of hand dressed up as science.
It’s likely that Rafe has already covered this, but I found it interesting. Perhaps Climax 200 can tell us how it is to be achieved?

By his previous statements, he has his domicile, and definitely one, possibly two “investment” houses in Melbourne. This would be at least his fourth.
If I had bought an existing house off someone else as one of those speculating like JC, you might have a point, Bushie. However, I have had both of my investment properties built from scratch, which adds to the stock of housing. This gives me more moral authority for ownership.
the West is on the cusp of disintegration as a result of societal and economic transformation. It has been posted in the last few days. It is a compelling argument and has serious implications for all of us.
Hanson is right that the West has been captured by a Left consisting of the media, the academy and those who control the corporate world.
Quite so. Even the conservative media wastes time (theirs and ours) banging on about how ridiculous all those attacks on our foundational concepts are.
The only explanation needed is that it’s a war, and it’s for keeps. Arguing about how silly it is misses the point.
Only You can do it

This afternoon our cruise liner will be starting the passage up the Dardanelles Strait. Very interesting area of course, and coincides with a talk I’m giving on the Gallipoli campaign. As the majority of people on the ship are not Aussie have to do a bit of backfilling knowledge-wise, and come at it from a combined British-French-Anzac approach.
According to a quick bit of research I was doing it’s not just the Australian submarine AE2 that rests on the seabed here. There are another four British-French boats – some sources say 7 – that met their end in actions against the Ottoman forces. For all that though they did a lot of damage. Again the sources are hazy but several enemy warships and a lot of freighters were sent to the bottom by the intrepid submariners. Three of the six Victoria Crosses awarded to Allied submariners in WWI were
I have the position of the AE2 wreck on my personal chart but I think it will be in the early morning hours when we pass near her. However on the way back south there will be another opportunity to be near the site where Lieutenant Commander Stoker decided to pull the plug rather than let his boat fall into the hands of the enemy.
RIP to all those who paid the ultimate price in these areas in the 1915 actions.
The largest and most prominent memorial in the ANZAC area of operations is to the New Zealanders on top of Chunuk Bair. All the Kiwis I know think this a right and proper thing.

Went to see Johannes Leak and Fred Pawle at an IPA function in Brisbane tonight. Johannes talked entertainingly about the background to some of his cartoons. He has a formidable talent and I reckon he’ll be around for many years to come. He explained that after the State Library of NSW bought his (wonderful) portrait of Jacinta Price, some staff whacked on a hissy fit and the management caved, and hid it in the basement, only to be seen by appointment, accompanied by a security guard. This is how much he and Jacinta Price are feared!
Is hiding a portrait of an aboriginal lady in the basement racism?

Tash Peterson: Notorious WA vegan declared fewer than 20 per cent of her earnings
Notorious vegan Tash Peterson earned more than $400,000 by the end of the 2022 financial year — most of which came from her OnlyFans account — but only declared $70,000 in business earnings to the Australian Tax Office.
That is what the WA Supreme Court was told as the outspoken animal rights activist was cross-examined during her defamation trial.
In the footage, Ms Peterson accused the clinic of promoting “animal slavery” and using the two cockatiels — Bruce and Gandalf — as advertising props because they were outside the clinic in a cage.
She also accused vet Dr Kay McIntosh of being an “animal abuser” who “eats her own patients” and the clinic of “enslaving animals and forcing them into murder factories”.
Dr McIntosh and her husband Andrew claim the video not only damaged their reputation by bringing them into “hatred, contempt and ridicule” but that Ms Peterson and Mr Higgs deliberately created it to not only gain publicity but also earn money.
They are claiming Ms Peterson uses her activism stunts to direct people to her OnlyFans page, on which subscribers pay her a fee for the risque content she creates.
The Taxation Office should have her sorry arze for breakfast then, shouldn’t they?
Should do … but my gast would be totally flabbered if they do anything about it.
West Australian vegan makes a shedload, baring her meat on OnlyFans…
