That is not happening, Lizzie. And happy birthday! You don’t look a day over 67.
There is no mechanism for the party to roll Biden at this point. He has the primary votes, the funding, and the power of incumbency. I don’t care how many anonymous stories come out about his wavering mindset, he ain’t leaving.
August 5 is apparently the date after which Biden has the nomination officially, which should be the end of the current silliness. But probably won’t.
Why They Hate
Why They Hate – American Thinker
Tonight I rewatched The Searchers. It’s a film I like to watch every 2 or 3 years. There are some movies, all classics, that I like to sit down and rewatch every few years, classics such as The Wizard of Oz, The Great Escape, Rear Window, North by Northwest and a few others. They are the great American films of the last eighty years, and The Searchers, as far as I am concerned, is the greatest Western, and a highly allegorical one at that. It’s themes have not dated at all.
I’ve written here before how the main character in The Searchers, ‘Ethan’, played by John Wayne, reminds me of Donald Trump. ‘Ethan’ is a Confederate veteran of the Civil War, a tough and intelligent man, plain speaking, hardened by battle in war, embittered, unforgiving, prejudiced, not a likeable character. But he’s filled with ‘true grit’, and he embodies something unique in American culture, he’s a rugged and brave individual but he ain’t perfect, far from it….like Donald J Trump.
You might not know this but when The Searchers was released in 1956 and was a success on its release, it was watched by a young musical genius by the name of Buddy Holly who was inspired to write a song using words spoken by ‘Ethan’ in the film. That song was called….’That’ll be the Day’.
There’s a scene in the film where the young Jeffrey Hunter, who plays Marty, furiously confronts Ethan on his prejudice and he says to Ethan….
‘I hope you die’
To which Ethan replies…
‘That’ll be the day’.
Over the last eight years so many have wished Donald Trump would die and go away, and last week they very nearly succeeded in killing Donald Trump. And whilst Trump, standing on that podium in Pennsylvania, didn’t utter the same words as ‘Ethan’ in The Searchers, you can see the same character traits and Trump’s message to the shooter, to the elites, to the MSM, to all of those who’ve spent years disparaging him, smearing him, ridiculing him, demonising him, silencing him, lying about him, trying to jail him and lastly, last Sunday morning (Oz time), trying to kill him, the sentiment was exactly the same as what Wayne’s character ‘Ethan’ said in The Searchers….
‘That’ll be the day’.

Here’s Why Tech Billionaires Are Leaving The Radical Left In Droves
Agree with JC when he said.
“There was one shooter. If there were more Trumpster would be deadsky”
I have watched many experts (former Seals, snipers, Secret Service etc) in past few days.
If there were two shooters then Crooks would be the “patsy” and the 2nd shooter would be the better shot. However the timing had to be exactly right. You would think the 2nd shooter would also have a better specialist sniper weapon which would ensure he hit target.
Former SEAL Tim Kennedy made an interesting point. That was that the Government via Homeland Security (Mayorkas) and Secret Service had ensured that Trump had a week security team. The many errors support the conclusion that he did not have his A team on duty that day.
Plus you have the constant flood of comments from Democrat side that Trump was Hitler and a danger to democracy. They created the atmosphere that would make attempts more likely.
Wokester: “Trump is wearing that huge bandage for theatrical effect.”
Normie: “What? I couldn’t understand you through that mask you’re wearing.”
Postcard 3 from Romania
Romania features the interesting capital of Bucharest. Ravaged by successive competing ideas of government, enough remains to capture attention in a walk around. There are small old churches with painted panels; stately buildings in a Romanesque style, and fountains as a feature. Intermixed with all of this are horrible communist-build blockhouses of “apartments” and offices: featureless concrete everywhere.
The temperature however was getting into the 40s by mid-afternoon so one had to be a bit careful walking around. We toured the Parliament House – the world’s second largest building, and you might wonder why a country that’s not that rich with a population of 20 million builds such a thing. The answer was that under Nicolae Ceau?escu the general secretary of the Communist Party he wanted to and they complied. It is now 70% empty and a tourist attraction – magnificently built out of all-Romanian products.
One interesting aspect of where we were staying right in the middle of town was in the evening – when it had cooled down a bit – was the Romanians coming out to play. A major occupation in a closed off main street was walking up the length of it – about five blocks – and then back down again. Lots of street cafes. The Romanian idea of a diet is smoked meat so we were able to help out a bit.
This narrative is jumping around a bit but we are on a river cruise for the next 10 days.

I’m going to postcard too.
A miserable day in Dublin, I went to mass at the Carmelite monastery in the morning. They first arrived in Ireland at the end of the 1200s, got booted by Henry the 8th, went into hiding for 200 years, then got a small section of their Dublin land back and started rebuilding in the early 19th century. One priest found an old Madonna and Child (probably from a dissolved Cisterian monastery on the north bank of the Liffey) in a second hand shop and she is now ‘Our Lady of Dublin’.
My cultural activity was the emmigration museum, €23, in former underground warehouses on the north side.
Also had to do a bit of eye rolling there and move on, it’s entirely modern and interactive but interesting in parts, some stuff I knew well enough.
I don’t know why the Magdalene laundries needed two mentions. Is it possible that Catholic nuns also did good things in Ireland?
Ireland until at least the 1950s was mostly poor and life was harsh for many, it’s why so many people left.

Whilst the UK is quickly descending into a sectarian & tribal ethno-religious state, it’s far easier for the UK to blame one of their devils for the Leeds riots……Nigel Farage.

Meanwhile, whilst sections of the UK media are now blaming Farage, all because of a tweet he put out, the same UK media are now lauding a Leeds based Islamist pin-up boy for his spurious attempts at ‘social cohesion’, even though this same Islamist was just recently elected as a ‘Greens’ candidate in Leeds, and he wasn’t elected on much of a ‘social cohesion’ platform because when he won he shouted, screamed and screeched…….

Lizzie, thanks for the pointer on getting a good looking Burmese(or two). I’m feeling the need for a couple of cats since the little black and white female cat from over the corner back fence got moved to Wagga for a year. It took a while but she became very friendly. I called her “Taxi” (Black and White) and found her early one morning sleeping on our front steps. It may have been a hint.
Every day both here and in the US, the meja continue to reveal themselves to be the idiotic, spiteful and condescending, blinked liars that they are. Agree there are some good writers in the Oz but the muck served up by Kelly, Sheridan and Ullmann to name but three mean that I cannot in good conscience let any of my hard earned go their way.
Cassie,
your comment on the UK led to comparing what is happening there, to the film “28 Days Later”.
UK is the Lab experimenting with Rage Virus on Chimps. Muslims were nick named Rage Monkeys years ago. Coincidence?
Do gooders release the poor little chimps from the lab in the the “name of freedom”, doncha know.
This is equivalent to flooding the UK with rag heads because, “poor little things”, will be different in a “free” country.
But, it doesn’t work out the way the do gooders had planned. The Rage Monkeys attack and kill without remorse or any sort of human feeling whatever. The worst part is, the rage is contagious. It is Rabies like in it’s effect.
The Government has no way of dealing with the problem because it has become weak and dissipated over the years. The ordinary person tries their hardest to avoid the contagion but, they are stymied because they are not allowed to defend themselves.
The decision is made to abandon the UK for six months. It is an island. Hopefully, the contagion will have killed itself by then. If there are survivors, they will most likely be imprisoned upon discovery and quarantined, “for their own good”.
And never heard of again.
Seeing the discredited old Chills and his old slag regurgitating lawyer Starmer’s Marxist poison made me feel quite ill. The British establishment.

Apropos yesterday’s discussion of prog-lefties defriending normies, I see Usha Vance, previously a liberal darling as a high-profile lawyer at a progressive firm, has been targeted by left-leaning media outlets in the US with borderline racist jokes, including deportation memes (note: she is US born).

Why They Hate
Let me see if I have this right from the article:
Considering that Allah has left the world to Islam, there can never be peace. All lands not occupied by Islam belong to Islam – they are occupied by the Infidel. Therefore they must be liberated and any Muslim who treats with the enemy – unless it is under the auspices of Kitman deception – as an apostate who must be killed for his apostasy.
That leaves us with little choice. Either we submit or we die.
?There is the third option. We kill every Muslim who fails to convert to Christianity, destroy every Mosque and burn out of existence every trace of Islam.
Those are the choices that Islam presents us with – they are certainly not mine, but they are theirs.
Choices, choices, choices.

Leaving aside the question of the desirability of pursuing net zero via the free market floated toward the end of this piece, Lacalle is describing our government’s policy (and that of the UK) – essentially, the malinvestment of public funds – and explaining why it will lead to greater poverty for the majority of the population.

Interesting comment on an Oz article. Says he was on a Finnish plane with Finnish pilots designated as a Qantas flight. Cabin crew Singaporean. Flying Singapore to Sydney and Singaporean crew welcoming them to country!
Just proves how ridiculous it has become.
This invariable Iron Law invariably gets lost in what passes for public discussion.
The unraveling hydrogen economy is a classic case in point: the central plank of the Government’s Net Zero strategy has been kicked away by a single actor in a sea of spivs and mainchancers (for masochists and tragic energy wonks: a listing of Australian hydrogen projects – mostly feasting on OPM).
After a day of media gasping and sniggering, it’s a forgotten non-issue, too hard or too uninteresting to unpick and reflect upon.
But the basis of the figleaf Renewable Superpower Masterplan has been gutshot – leaving behind the skeleton of a ruined energy economy.
Unremarked, for all to see.
I cant remember last week’s WIP so I’ll link to it because it’s so good:

The EV and the milk girl are great.
An article at TheirABC about the Twiggy implosion quotes these figures for the efficiency of energy storage:
There are some simple dynamics working against hydrogen as a fuel.
It might be more efficient than petrol but it doesn’t rate against a battery-driven vehicle.
When it comes to batteries, roughly 70 per cent of the original energy produced at the source performs useful work in the vehicle.
With hydrogen, that drops to between 25 per cent and 30 per cent, while internal combustion engines at best deliver 20 per cent efficiency.
I don’t understand these figures, and no citation is provided.
Can anyone shed any light? TIA.

The thoughts of Robert Barnes – a fascinating discussion on the attempted assassination. 60 minute Youtube.
Just thought on the ‘outage’. As A.I. rapidly takes over, there will be no guarantee of the veracity of any information delivered digitally. A.I. can subtly change everything digital and people will not pick it up. Each issue will be fixed by digital repairs which will create more issues. It is an IT circle. My guess is five years before the A.I. destroys the trust. Noting will happen much for a few years. Issues- patches- security, a coverup whirlwind until a sudden the panic. Everything: your bank, your contracts, your history can be changed in a second. Even me and this statement may be fake. You will never know.
When it comes to batteries, roughly 70 per cent of the original energy produced at the source performs useful work in the vehicle.
With hydrogen, that drops to between 25 per cent and 30 per cent, while internal combustion engines at best deliver 20 per cent efficiency.
Depends exactly what they are talking about.
Lithium batteries may be a bit better than 70% charge discharge efficiency.
Just compressing or liquifying hydrogen gives a round trip efficiency of 35% or so and then depends whether you simply burn it in a internal combustion engine with the usual thermodynamic inefficiencies in which case you get maybe 35 to 40% of that 35% or use a fuel cell.
A good modern IC engine gets a thermodynamic efficiency up in the high thirties percent and Mazda claim they an get over 50%.
Last nite we hunkered down in the warmth of the fire and watched the movie of JC Vance’s ‘Hillbilly Elegy’. We both thought it was a total knockout, one of the best movies of recent years and wondered how we had missed it so far. We’re also ordering the book.
There was a point when Mamaw, his Appalachian grandma, asked by Vance as a teen why she helped him, reflected that without her, what would happen to ‘family’? For family is foundational, always, such a great truth. At that point I admit I lost it, heaving sobs, and Hairy came over to put his hand on my shoulder. This is a great story of poverty and the cultures of poverty, of the honest, proud and God-fearing Hillbilly familial past and of the druggie present in the wilds of the American rust belts. Bloody marvellous.
It ended in 2016. Never, says Hairy then, was it truer said that ‘and the rest is history’.

My (amateur) impression of what others have said is that the problems with hydrogen as a fuel are well known and have been for some time.

This is exciting – for me at least.
I flew up here to the property yesterday. We are in the process of attempting to implement a vendor funded buyout by the property managers. Extraordinary complexity.
When I arrived, the managers who readily qualify as animal lunatics, displayed no interest whatsoever in matters financial. Instead they drove me up behind one of the sorghum paddocks where there was an ocean of brolgas, dancing.
It was mesmerising, and they are there still today.
There has been a few individuals and pairs in the past, but nothing like this.
The managers claimed that it was the benign season that attracted them to the district. But I knew differently.

To be fair the homeless were on the perimeter, near the bus station, in tents along the river, and you get get beggars in every big city. I’m not one for crowds.
Most of the tourists seemed to be Americans, as expected and Spanish, not so much.
And there were men with carts (not a job relished by Irish feminists?) clearing rubbish and poor people, indigenous and immigrant, collecting refundable bottles, (which mostly involves pawing through rubbish bins which makes the refundable scheme seem redundant.
“It sounded pretty harsh”.
I did say that, and that life for many Irish even in the fifties and sixties was extraordinarily harsh. One roomed cottages with no electricity or running water, no jobs, a massive slump in agricultural exports, single mothers were a great burden for the Irish.
My point was they could have also shown the great good nuns did in Ireland, in education, hospitals, caring for the elderly etc but they chose not to.
International missionaries got a mention, not all positive either.
If the terrorists were serious, there would be a lot more nervousness among the families. One man died to protect his.
How many secret service agents would you need to protect Biden’s family?
I’m tired of hearing the words “former president Trump”.
”Former President” Is not a title. There is no such office*.
There is a “former Presidents Act”. Small “f” capital “P”.
Donald Trump is not “Former President Trump”.
He is “Mr. Trump” if referring to the man presently, or “Republican presidential candidate Trump” if referring to his current bid to regain the office, or “President Trump” if referring to his previous or future administrations, or if referring to him as a historical figure after he is gone. He is former President Trump if, and only if, you are talking about his entitlements or office** or responsibilities or pension as a former president.
*office as in a position held.
**office as in a place to do office things.

Can’t find any evidence of Epstein’s guests at p3do island. Can’t find any evidence of illegal activity with FISA warrants used to illegally surveill DJT.

An article at Their ABC about the Twiggy implosion quotes these figures for the efficiency of energy storage:
Twiggy has gone nuts; his missus has left him and he is under the thrall of his sprogs who are green loons.
All energy sources must be measured by a number of criteria. The weather ones lose out because of intermittency and unpredictability; just like the weather!
The others are ranked by a variety of criteria including EROEI and density.
EROEI is energy return on energy invested. All energy sources require energy to get up and running = energy invested. If the ER is LESS than the EI then you have a negative return. W&S are EROEI negative but so is H or rather Twiggy’s GREEN H. The usual way of extracting H is from methane, a wonderful gas, CH4. The EROEI is +ve if done this way BUT you also release C or carbon, as much as from a coal power plant. So to GREEN H which is extracted from water, H2O. No carbon is released hence the term GREEN BUT because H2O is a tightly bound molecule the EROEI is -ve. End of story.
Energy density is how much energy you get from a standard unit of the energy source. In MJ/L H has an energy density of 10.044. Anthracite Coal has an energy density of 34–43. Uranium 1,539,842,000.

I am so over these black/muzzie bitches.
Long gone are the days when perfessers where scholars. It’s a dirty word now. Like doctor.
Response to cohenite’s 5:19 p.m. post re claims that the Trump assassination attempt was staged:
The first question I ask myself when considering if such a conspiracy theory (an almost meaningless term now?) could be true, is ‘Was/is there a more effective means of achieving the outcome?’
In this case, where the outcome is Republican unity (apparently), and a whole lot of media attention (presumably having a positive effect on opinion polling), the question would be ‘Was there a simpler, just-as-effective opportunity, (retaining the ‘Trump’s life is threatened scenario’) to achieve the same result?
Hypothetically, let’s say you’re tasked with planning such a ‘conspiracy theory.’ Would you have set things up in exactly the same manner as took place in reality? (Wouldn’t you at least have found a patsy whose political ideology could be more directly connected to opponents?).
My predictions for the next five years:
I love optimism.

Prediction: Biden won’t run, but whoever does will make a point of it still being a Biden ticket”.. or a “Biden partnership”… or some other construction to associate it with the Biden name.
Hundreds of thousands to millions of votes will be cast for Biden.
First they will claim this didn’t happen. Then they will claim it was perfectly reasonable given the pre-election statements. No investigation would be countenanced as to why so many of them weren’t just for Biden, but ticks against the pre-printed name, Biden, against Trump.

We used to just get stuff done.
Not that switching to metric for distances, speeds on the roads, quantities of petrol made any sense at all or saved anyone any money, just cost heaps. Another really stupid Whitlam idea. He even tried to ban the import of any imperial measurement equipment. That was fortunately stopped.
Back in Mildura. Really liked it last month so back for another look. Love the Mediterranean feel. Lotsa Italian names too. Lots of cypresses as well.
A common confusion, often rooted in the mistaken belief that Centigrade is part of the metric system & Fahrenheit is an imperial measurement.
Fahrenheit to Celsius was switched by Gorton/McMahon. Imperial to Metric by Whitlam.
Tommy Robinson.
I have to admit that I didn’t know about Tommy’s background, though of course, I’ve heard of him and seen various bits of his on YouTube.
In this interview – truncated, unfortunately, the full episode is here – with Jordan Peterson, he lays out how and why he became an activist (a term I usually despise, given its hijacking). At only a touch over 10 minutes in length, it’s a great introduction for anyone wanting to know of his motivations and begin to cut through the anti-Tommy propaganda.

Tajikistan Builds World’s Highest Dam and Sells Electricity to Pakistan and afghanistan
Tajikistan for 50 years has struggled to establish the largest hydroelectric power plant in Central Asia. This largest dam is also the highest dam in the world. Tajikistan’s power generation is a legacy of the Soviet Union’s projects. With the establishment of the Rogun Hydroelectric Power Plant (PPH ROGUN), Tajikistan is not only able to meet the electricity needs of its population, but is also able to export electricity to neighboring countries such as Pakistan and Afghanistan.

were the story of Arnhem an Alistair Maclean novel, Browning would have to have been the German spy in the Allied command.” Page 201.

Randwick Council ramps-up security after mayor’s ‘inflammatory’ anti-Israel speechAlexi Demetriadi
6 minutes ago
One of Sydney’s biggest councils will ramp up security at its next meeting after its Greens Mayor accused Israel and its supporters of “murdering babies” in an “inflammatory”speech that left a Jewish councillor and community members fearing for their safety.
The Australian can reveal extra guards and council rangers will attend Randwick council’s Tuesday session after Mayor Philipa Veitch’s fellow councillors and the wider Jewish community claimed they had been “intimidated” and left worried about pro-Palestine activists descending on the chamber.
Ms Veitch, one of the nation’s few Greens mayors, said the views expressed “were her own” and that she had always ensured meetings were conducted in a “safe and respectful manner”.
During a pro-Palestine speech to about 30 students at the University of NSW last week, Ms Veitch claimed Israel was “brutally murdering babies” and it had “completely destroyed every single” Gazan university.
“We need to keep up the pressure … coming out (to) these protests,” she said, claiming she and activists had been “silenced”

More than nine months into Israel’s war in Gaza, much of the world’s media still has not understood Gazan civilians are the deliberate victims of Hamas’s tactics and continue to report without scepticism everything coming from journalists inside the city, who are largely Hamas members or sympathisers.
Of course the death toll of 40,000 Palestinians – 2 per cent of Gaza’s population – is far too high. So too is the destruction of hospitals, schools, mosques and private homes.
Yet journalists have known for decades that Hamas fights all its Gaza campaigns from tunnels deliberately hidden under civilian facilities. The more tragic the circumstances of the dead the better for the terrorist death cult to boost support in the West.
Former IDF spokesman Peter Lerner told Patricia Karvelas on RN Breakfast last Wednesday that the IDF had killed or captured 14,000 fighters. Yet in much of the Arab and Iranian media the war is covered as if Hamas is winning. Odd, since the IDF has lost 350 soldiers.
The calculation in the Islamic world is about damage to the image of Israel. It is a foolish misreading of Israeli public opinion, military power and economic strength. As this column argued on June 16: “Much of the media, many university leaders and some of our politicians … (are) allowing themselves to be used in an Iranian-sponsored propaganda war to entrench Islamic fundamentalism.”
Closer to the truth about Hamas’s prospects was former Palestinian Authority Minister for Prisoners’ Affairs Ashraf Al-Ajrami, who wrote in the Palestinian daily newspaper Al-Ayyam on July 3 that Hamas was deluded. He argued October 7 would not liberate Palestinians “but cause them harm that will last for generations’’.
Hamas would precipitate “a new Nakba greater than that of 1948”. While Israel was undoubtedly being damaged by the global peace movement it was not going to collapse and the real price for Hamas’s ill-considered actions on October 7 would be paid by Palestinian civilians for years to come.
I’m probably behind the times (sorry, not 100% focus on following social/media sites) … but I came across this good rundown on the Trump shooting. Just a good (I think) analysis of what happened that day.
https://youtu.be/3UBS2ds4Ogc
Let’s say the Israeli Government announced that the entire population of Israel had agreed to up-sticks and leave all infrastructure and resources in place to the ‘Palestinians,’ unconditionally. (I have no idea where they’d move to, but this is a hypothetical, so humour me for a moment).
What might then happen?
Those organisations and individuals whose identities are that of martyrs … what would they do? (If you move the chooks from the chookhouse, and leave the door open – is it still a place of interest to the foxes or wild dogs?).

“Of course the death toll of 40,000 Palestinians – 2 per cent of Gaza’s population”
If at least 14,000 were terrorists then why point out 2% of the population.
Not to mention you are relying on the same terrorists death toll numbers.

Latin mass at St Kevin’s on Harrington St.
There is also an English mass which is ad orientium. (The only option in this beautiful new gothic church)
The English mass was clearly going to be a sung mass, not sure if that is every week because they mentioned that a young man was going to be ordained deacon today.
I probably mentioned this nine years ago but there are no old Catholic churches in Dublin that I know of, confiscated and now church of Ireland, or destroyed.
Oh and lunch, got a sandwich, gentleman in front of me ordered spicy chicken, black pudding and brown sauce on brown bread. I think the gent sitting near me went for just the black pudding with brown sauce.
