Every year, dozens of local boat owners in Wisconsin band together to move a giant floating island on Lake Chippewa, also known as the Chippewa Flowage.
This floating island, known as the “Forty Acre Bog,” is composed of peat, plant roots, mud, and even mature trees. These trees act as sails, catching the wind and moving the island around the lake.
When the bog drifts and blocks a crucial bridge connecting the east and west sides of the lake, it requires a community effort to push it back into position using their boats.
The floating bogs formed over time as peat bogs from the lake’s swampy bottom rose to the surface, creating a habitat rich in biodiversity. Moving the bog is a complex task that relies on favorable wind conditions, and it often requires multiple attempts to place it correctly, or it will drift back within days.
This annual task, while challenging, highlights the community’s dedication to preserving the natural environment and maintaining access across the lake.
The floating bog is legally protected and cannot be broken apart, adding to the complexity of the task. Despite their best efforts, there are occasions when the bog gets stuck on obstacles like rocks, necessitating repeated efforts to clear the passage.

Bonus George Alexopoulos toon.
Brilliant. I love the artistry of his cartoons, sometimes not the sentiments.
This is how it will have to be. Actual women will have to withdraw and let the “men” slug it out. If the Sisterhood banded together in this way it would be over in a heartbeat.
The mixed messages of “you go girrrrrrl”, “women can be as good as men” combined with the insidious promotion of trans men in sports is creating a lethal mix for women and girls. I doubt if the first death will even wake them up, so deep seated is the social conditioning.
I have scanned a number of articles purporting to explain the ‘shocking and heartbreaking’ disappointment experienced by the Chook’s Matildas. There has been a dictionary’s worth of meaningless adjectives but no meaningful verbs such as thrashed, booted, or even humiliated. No, no, they weren’t defeated, they just………
Just one article noted that the ‘ladies’ on the pedestal are a bunch of priveledged princesses who believe their own and the elites’ propaganda and don’t believe hard work to be a necessary element of their journey to eternal fame.
There has been no articles discussing the collapse of rowing, the consistent medal harvesting machine of the past. No hint that the bureaucratisation of the sport has destroyed its traditional collegiate character.
What ever happened to the women’s rowing team with the girl who continually let down the others by laying down on the job?
Yep .. noticed this morning “our’ media skiting our 1st medal in rowing .. bronze.. not so many years ago anything less than several gold were considered an Oz rowing disaster ………
The adjective you’re after is “licked”
Notice the online media has, almost, stopped reporting on the Southport massacre .. not much “news” when colour involved rather than “white” assailant or it could be due to trying to suppress the fact that that anti-musso riots are spreading across England .. Your not likely to read about the Hartlepool or Sunderland riots over the last 2 nights and only minimal coverage of London outrage …… https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/sunderland-protest-live-updates-crowds-29666586

another foul old wimmin
Thus shrieks one of the talking points in Shatterzzzz’ link.
The day Lee Rigby was virtually beheaded by bushknife on that Woolwich street was the day the UK ceased to be a civilised society. And nothing substantial was done about it.
A conga line of weak parliaments, officials, law enforcement and a captured, baying media has led to what we see today. The righteously indignant punished and the perpetrators protected.
Tolkien’s England – The bewildered Hobbits are no longer bewildered, and the Ruffians and their pocket-lining enablers and captured Shirriffs don’t like it. There will be many “Battles of Bywater” before all this ends.
Brit soldier stabbed recently before the Southport murders and riots in Leeds that was policed a whole differently also but t the problem is the “far right” according to Starmer & his dim witted home secretary…
Unless anything changes and if Starmer goes after the patriot Brit population I predict he will be a one term wonder, even level headed British commentators I am watching are saying the public has had enough and don’t believe the lies of the “far right” anymore. Funnily enough quite a few ethnic Indian Brits and Caribbean blacks are in this mix if what has been stipulated is true.
Some are predicting a civil uprising but I am sceptical about that rhetoric. I do think the British media, Police forces, Judiciary and bureaucracy are increasingly distrusted and that won’t end well.
Oh and I forgot to mention, like the Cronulla riots where there were Asians in the crowd with a few dusky faces getting payback I’d say the next one if/when it happens will be much larger and er, coloured.
I still cannot fathom how Lee Rigby’s barracks wasn’t emptied with armed soldiers hunting down and executing the murderer and destroying whatever muslim organisations he was attached to.
The officers must have confined them to quarters. I guess it shows the self-discipline of the British soldier. I wonder if they are regretting it now…..
I was likewise astounded, but have come to believe that the intention is to model a calm ambivalence, because ‘This is the New Normal. You will not only accept the New Normal, you will LIKE it. Resistance is dissent, and dissent is the most contagious of viruses which threatens the stability of The System.’
Slightly over-dramatic perhaps, but I fear we are being programmed via repetition (terrorist events, the only socially acceptable response to which is vigiltainment (h/t C.L.) to not only tolerate, but portray an emotional detachment towards, the homicide-hobby lobby.
Here you go shatterzzz:
How South Park predicted Olympic ‘biological male’ boxing fallout (2 Aug)
What’s the bet that episode will now suddenly vanish from all streaming sites…
Beyond the obvious Cloward-Piven agenda in play throughout most of Europe and the US, open border policies accomplish much more than simply erasing western culture with third-world migrants. The introduction of violent peoples from violent countries and ideologies is a perfect way to generate public hostility and getting them to react in anger. When a government refuses to represent the interests of actual citizens that are under attack by foreign elements the only avenue left to that populace is self defense.
Opened-mouthed toothy Kamala smiles are now plastered everywhere in the American and international media.There is no subtlety here, just brazen in your face imaging aimed at convincing the public that she is the face of the Democrat’s presidential campaign. Alas, this is what we are going to be subjected to daily until the elections in November. She doesn’t seem to talk at all, but apparently that doesn’t matter. I don’t know about others, but I’ve already tuned out. Perhaps that’s the aim of the campaign.
Harris was a diversity pick in the elaborate mirage of the 2020 election, stolen by a candidate who wasn’t required to do any campaigning, but magically garnered more votes than Obama in 2007 while his opponent, who got more votes than any presidential candidate in history, somehow “lost”.
The cheating in 2024 will have to be on an industrial scale in all 50 states — not just in swing states — if Trump is to be “defeated” a second time.
Kamala Harris, meanwhile, can be sacrificed because she is not a future leader of the Democratic Party. She has performed the task for which she was hired in 2020 (diversity pick).
The level of the fake public opinion polling will tell us whether the DNC will attempt to steal the 2024 election — i.e., polls showing Harris leading Trump add plausibility to another election steal.
2020 showed lefties that election theft was possible on a grand scale and lefties are addicted to power, so they’ll try again IMO.
Letting her speak or be interviewed would show the world that she makes even less sense than Biden does so all we will see will be the political ads.
From The Oz…
It is understood the first incident involved a Jewish woman who was told on January 28 it was “impossible” to print the pictures in the size she wanted “because the Jews had used all the paper”.
Geez, Goebbels talk, straight from Der Sturmer
But folks, I have a confession to make, I do have a liking, a penchant, for buying and using beautiful stationery but I swear, I swear, I don’t buy up and use all the paper!
More seriously though, this racist, this Jew hater, should have been dismissed.
Hear this…boycott Officeworks.
Surely this woman must now be dismissed without any compensation. I believe the second law of corporations, after providing billable services, is not to bring the corporation into disrepute. This woman has failed on both counts.
I noted last night in old thread a couple of posters commented negatively towards JK Rowling regarding her comments on the boxing saga.
Perhaps they are not familiar with JK’s stance on these issues. She has been very outspoken for years regarding things like men in women’s sports and men/boys being able to go into female toilets etc. This has meant she had been constantly attacked by the left and a lot of media. Even to the point where the ungrateful actors from Harry Potter movies had a go at her and don’t want to associate with her. This despite the fact some made multi millions due to her.
We need more JK Rowling’s in the world who are willing to stand up.
Her support for keeping women’s sport for women is hugely important. She is one of the greatest ‘influencers’ on the planet.
Grumpy males who don’t like her and have three followers on X are unimportant.
I have little time for anyone who divides humanity according to sex, as she did in her comment and evidently does in her feminist worldview. This leads to the popular current view that masculinity is inherently toxic.
Yes Cassie Officeworks must be made to endure some blowback. Preferably to cease trade.
This behaviour cannot be tolerated.

It’s not a store policy, they sent her for some attitude adjustment training, that’s fair enough response.
Remember the baker doesn’t have to bake a gay wedding cake if they personally don’t want to.
Colonel therein lies the problem.
Cannot on one hand say a company is all about diversity and inclusion etc then on the other deny any person service based on their race etc.
It is bollocks on stilts not unlike Bud Light
Whoah whoah. What’s this about “deny any person service based on their race”??
That’s a new one. There was no evidence the employee refused on the basis of the customer’s race. She refused to laminate a particular newspaper article that she didn’t like. Almost certainly she would have refused the same request no matter who made it. Do you have evidence to the contrary?
And the company didn’t do this because it was not their policy to refuse, just one employee.
Colonel –
Loose guidelines allowed this to happen and – as I’ve remarked before – this odd attitude of employees suddenly being allowed to set company policy is occurring more often.
Gen X may have a say at home with their parents but this doesn’t carry through to the workplace.
It needs to be impressed on new employees the difference between staff and management, or this will happen again.
Bob.
The company took corrective action thus showing her behaviour was not accepted policy.
Quote from Sky News
Doesn’t sound very loose.
I admit I don’t know if this policy was impressed upon the employee from the outset.
The policy would have been promoted well. What may not have been promoted was that they were intending to enforce it on the left.
The baker owned his bakery. She is an employee of a company.
Even though the baker did the right thing, he at least was the one who had to bear the consequences of that decision.
She does not have the right to make policy on the run on behalf of the company based on whatever her feelings are on whatever day.
I know it is difficult for companies to sack people. Maybe Officeworks will be a bit more robust in their recruitment in future. Or just hire adults and not ideological children.
I think they could have at least demoted her from any managerial position. That would show that they don’t think she is fit to lead people and made decisions for the company.
Moments after TheirABC ran a piece about how Lebanese living in Australia are undeterred by travel warnings (I’m going to my cousin’s wedding, we get these warnings all the time) they run a sob story about someone who is stuck there:
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-08-03/australians-in-lebanon-facing-difficulties-getting-home/104175786
“Well, we’re trying to take the government’s advice, which is to leave Lebanon as soon as possible, but that’s become quite a challenge,” Mr Dabbousi said.
He said he was concerned about what could come next.
“Firstly, there are no flights available. The airport’s closed for departures,” he said.
Out-of-pocket costs to leave early would make things especially difficult for a lot of people, he added.
“For the majority of people, that’s just going to be impossible. For most of the Australians who are … soon to be stranded in this country.”
Incoming – demands for taxpayer funded flights with full in-flight service.
Toto Airlines to the rescue, Funderbirds are go!
Funderbirds.
Very good.
Weren’t there bleats last time that taxpayer funded flights from Lebanon were put on, that Frequent Flyer points weren’t accrued?
Yes there were.
Volubly so.
Entitlements R Us.
Ex Army mate has told me they apparently from rumours he’s heard have people in place around that region.
Think how much that would cost, we still lease a spot Al Minhad from what he tells me, now add the logistics of supplying said troop in case of Lebs demanding passage home, overseas pay and rotation of whatever RAAF platform of choice.
Now think about those troops being diverted from administering our troops, platforms not being used for training our boys all for a bunch of entitled bulllies. Australian Governments should make a deal with NATO or the British in Cyprus to look after our citizens. Tell the Lebs no one is coming to Tripoli to bail you out & NATO may get around to helping you, like they pretty well did to the Sudanese recently.
Close the camp at Al Minhad as well FFS, this is not our backyard or business. We need to be concentrating on the East Indo-Pacific region.
Any oz “citizen” who has been in Lebanon more than 6 weeks ain’t on holiday they are residents .. Furgle ’em .. they want out let ’em sort themselves out ..!
First, they must pass a visa check. Are they in Oz on a refugee visa? Then revoke it. It was obviously safe for them to go back to Lebanon.
Then check their records of where their funds go. Who are they supporting? Radicals? Revoked.
Make it hard for them. Make it as hard to get residency and citizenship for them as the government makes it for white refugees from Zimbabwe and South Africa.

Last man standing: the hunt for Hamas’s Yahya SinwarCatherine Philp
8 minutes ago
0 comments
Only one of the high-value Hamas targets sought by Israel remains – Yahya Sinwar. After the killing of Ismail Haniyeh, the political leader, and Israel’s confirmation that it has killed Mohammed Deif, the military chief, Sinwar is the last man standing.
The group’s leader in Gaza, a veteran of the Israeli prison system, was behind the October 7 attack on Israeli communities across the border with Gaza.
A committed ideologue, it appears that he did not care about the horror it would visit upon his people.
Sinwar was let out of an Israeli jail in 2011 as part of a deal that accompanied the release of Gilad Shalit, the Israeli soldier. He returned to lead Hamas in Gaza and consolidate the territory’s repressive internal security system, focusing on those suspected of collaborating with Israel.
No Officeworks jokes..
Wonderful painting, BTW. Many thanks to Dover for reminding us of the rich treasury of Western art.
Now, to business.
With everything that was going on, I didn’t see this hour long clip of the Google townhall or whatever they call it in 2016. Trump had just been elected, all the bigwigs got onstage to reassure the troops. It’s linked in this story:
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/07/30/nolte-trump-blasts-google-facebook-rigging-election-shooting-cover-up/
Given the recent ‘glitches’ where the attempted (word can’t be used here) of Trump was disappeared from Facebook and Google, the lame excuses (just a whoopsie) have no credibility whatsoever.
Google, possibly the most influential company in the world, was in mourning about Hillary’s defeat. The public responses were carefully curated, but contradictory. On one hand, it was all about Google’s ‘values’ which were standard Hillary. But every now and then, they said that the Google family embraced everyone, no matter what their views are.
Plenty of evidence to the contrary.
If you can manage it, have a look at the Google wake that is linked in the Breitbart article. It is a fascinating insight on how companies which specialise in tapping into consumer preferences manipulate their workforce.

Situation in UK following murder of three children by a Rwandan Christian was exploited by Counterjihad accounts, influencers and the like, many overseas, to focus on Muslims.

I doubt he himself is a Christian, although the family attend church.
You often see this sort of rebellion with kids of Christian families. The court artist depiction of the perp looked more like a gang member than a Christian.
I would not be surprised if he was running with a local bunch. Well I hope he comes to his senses in gaol, he obviously has heard the Gospel at least.
Food for thought and complete conjecture on my part. Convert to the ROP that was radicalised perhaps?
Some of the overseas blogs had some pretty unflattering stuff up from school peers about the perp. I’d have to go digging but Blazing Catfur has been pretty good as well as Small Dead Animals for snippets the media is ignoring.
I absolutely despise essay-posting but as the co-owner of the outlet (

Thanks Dover. This is a very good thread and I would urge everyone to read it.
Agreed.
Especially Monty.
Steven Hayward has a post on this issue. I’ve found the key chart from another site, hopefully it will insert.

It took 15+ years of “modern education” to produce that.
Obviously an aspiring wrapper.
Bull. He’s a Rwandan child of Rwandan immigrants. They might be Christians, they might not.
Matthew 7:16 comes to mind.
And if anyone tries the “no true Scotsman” shuffle, take it up with Jesus, not me.
The family are reported to attend church, but as I linked in reply to Dover it looks like the son might be in a rebellious phase.
The history of the North American Pilgrims is fascinating in this regard. The colonists were all Christians, their children kept to the same path, but the grandchildren started to break away as those who didn’t believe built up in number. It’s the usual thing: you cannot ultimately make children be Christians, only God can do that.
Quite so.
As for the anti-Muslim organisations, I wonder why they might get traction? These things don’t happen in a vacuum.
TheirABC carrying water for the BOM alarmists yet again:
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-08-03/australia-suffers-cold-winter-weather-despite-mild-forecast/104176284
I do notice that the BOM and TheirABC have toned down the rhetoric.
We’re not hearing about ‘angry summers’ and suchlike.
Focus groups?
Often? I would say this guy’s an outlier, not the norm as far as rebellious children go, and I’ve seen plenty of them.
Rebellion usually takes the form of unsavoury friendships, promiscuity, sometimes drugs and risky behaviour.
Stabbing little girls…not so much.
Ok “this sort” was a poor choice of words. I know of several guys who rebelled against their Christian upbringing but all of them are good law abiding people – just not Christians. One friend whose dad was a pastor had a whole bookcase of leftist literature. A solid atheist. But a fine guy and a good friend.
Curious how this guy’s rebellion took the form of something someone from the religion of pieces would do. Could he have converted?
Rooster, you nasty old Karen. Take another look at Rowlings tweet. She accuses men of allowing these mismatched fights to go on because men inherently like to see females bashed up.
Men don’t like to see women bashed. In fact men’s most basic instinct is to protect women.
Rowlings made a disgusting dishonest comment and deserves being called out on it.
Mmm…yes; all the time.
(Where is this comment from, calli?)
From me Roger. My choice of words wasn’t helpful, sorry. I was trying to say that not all children of church-going families become Christians themselves. In that respect they are turning away from the wishes of their Christian parents.
I linked the court artist rendition of the perp in reply to Dover, quite a change in style from his younger photos.

Net Zero is gutshot, but not yet fallen. Future Made in Australia is a political slogan looking for a sponsor. Investment in critical minerals E&P is struggling because prices and uncertainty.
And none of it has any connection whatsoever with ‘country’ or economic self determination (other than via the dead hand of cultural lawfare).

Wow that’s a real grade A stinker even for Albo. This last couple weeks Labor have been piling it higher and deeper. Lies upon lies. There’s been a parade of MPs interviewed by Sky News who have been staying the most unbelievable rubbish. None of it is true but they must figure that the MSM will run with the talking points.
That’s the point! .. They know the media will run with any rubbish Luigi endorses ……!
The 2 sticks fire starter industry about to burst into flame .. LOL!
Speaking of Twostix… wherefore art he?
So coupling the Aboriginal Industry, the Net Zero mirage and the Made-In-Australia rortathon with the Defence spending shambles will produce a net benefit for Australia?
To state this cynical and disgusting sound bite is to refute it.
Perhaps Albo has visions splendid of sunlit plains extended covered with solar panels built in factories in remote communities? You know it makes sense!

Watch for mass arrests of Tommy Robinson type figures but it won’t stop it this time, the one at Southport was organic and I reckon there will be more before the anger dies down as an angry leaderless mob, which is probably more unpredictable.

Funny but not in a humorous way how this turd can go to things like this and mouth mealy platitudes about raising the standards of Aboriginal people, yet do phuck all about places like Alice Springs and other places where crime is rampant.
Albo, go fornicate thyself.
If it was an actual industry the Aboriginal Industry would have gone the way of the Australian car industry years ago.
I mean really? Trying to fuse unicorn farts with magic fairy dust.

I’m also curious as to how hydrogen is coloured green.
Where did that moniker come from? Just the usual Climate Catastrophics I suppose.
Three main sources of hydrogen:
From using whatever green scam to generate electricity and take that to split water up into oxygen and hydrogen: “green” hydrogen.
Steam and natural gas (methane) to give H2 + CO2 (blue hydrogen).
And finally, hydrogen that spews forth naturally from vents in the Earths crust.

‘Terrible’: 23yo’s job horror exposes trend (News.com.au, 3 Aug)
Best wishes lady. Unfortunately when the rubber hits the road like now the useful win out over the, can I say it?, less essential. Make sure you stay with your boyfriend, and keep him happy.
Some of us did survive Paul Keating’s “recession we had to have”, coupled with the highest unemployment rates since the Great Depression…went from middle management to a security guard’s billet…
Yep. Pulled the pin on my first job in about 1990. Didn’t make that mistake again.
Few Gen Zs will be in for a rude awakening. A bit of unemployment might be the end for house prices, although Population Ponzi might keep it going for a while.
What the heck. Let’s continue airing the spleen and delusionally [?] expecting a response from our superiors.
(Apologies for length, repetition, blah, blah, etc. My intention in exposing the multiple dysfunctions of my life is to show that NONE of our Dishonourable, Unaccountable, Coward Class (DUCC) actually give a toss about we quiet ones, and NONE are worthy of our vote).
good luck Muddy
Thanks, Matrix. I don’t expect any positive outcome, but my intention (as noted above) is to serve as an example of why our only option is to reject those of our DUCC in the (perhaps vain?) hope that others more worthy may step up and earn our vote and trust. The first step, however, is refusing to ‘settle’ for the best of the worst. I deserve better. WE deserve better, but we’ll never receive what we don’t demand.
Please keep us updated, Muddy. I sincerely wish you a good outcome.
Many thanks, Delta. It has been a challenging handful of years for many of us, and though I’m more resentful and cynical than ever, I do try to remind myself now and then that my circumstances are still more favourable than some. I trust that you and yours are shuffling along in a forward direction? (Though apparently there is something to be said for oblique sideways motion when intoximahkayted).
This is, for a hospital HR and payroll department, a trifling amount of money. Not so for you, Muddy.
It does not make sense. My ex-HR spidey sense tells me that there is something else going on that is most probably deceptive in nature. Retribution fits that category.
I have no idea how you can fight this kind of covert injustice in Queensland. Is there an employment tribunal or state ombudsman you can appeal to? Your federal and state MPs? I hope your letters bring some kind of investigation at the very least.
Best wishes, Muddy. May the forces of good triumph.
Thanks, Megan. Yes, it’s an awful lot of money for me. I don’t wish to detail my financial circumstances, but the past handful of years have smashed me.
Unfortunately, there are no remaining avenues of grievance, aside from appealing to political representatives.
I don’t use concepts like ‘organisational psychopathy’ in a jocular manner; taxpayer-funded behemoths like Queensland Health are virtually untouchable, and create rules to suit themselves.
Bureaucracies like that are where individuals with personality disorders find warm shelter for their working life, along with a substantial pool of low-status victims.
Keep on pushing at closed doors, Muddy. Sometimes they open if you are persistent enough. Definitely go to the ombudsman, tribunals, and members of Parliament. Stress your difficult circumstances and your poor health, and further deterioration due to this stressor. The amount is negligible to them and someone might decide to help you. As an outlier, perhaps even seek advice from the police about the harassment you are experiencing. A police visit to the hospital might push things along a bit for you.
Muddy, also see a doctor and get some certification on the amount of stress this is physically causing you. Also – you can go to the local press and talk to a journalist about this. Or simply let your tormentors know that you intend to do this. The light of the media can sometimes be quite useful in getting results. Be a squeaky wheel.
Thanks, Lizzie. I have been trying to come up with a press outlet I think would be interested, but the options are pretty miserable. The local paper is excruciatingly poor.
The police are unlikely to take an interest until it’s too late. I asked the local station to do a welfare check on a semi-homeless bloke last year, but was informed they ‘don’t do things like that.’
My plan so far is to gently suggest to political people that if this is not dealt with now, it may become publicly messy. Especially when I have a paper trail of approaching these people and they have ignored me.
I can’t complain that life is boring, at least!

Bulltish.
There’s no need for so called “legal and economic frameworks” established by the State. Houses have been built in common law laisses faire economies since time immemorial.
No State required.
Here’s a partial list of why houses aren’t being built:
Taxes
Zoning
Credentialism
Crowding out by State borrowing
Building regulations that increase the difficulty and expense of houses.
Climate change regulations
Immigration of leaners rather than lifters
blah blah
The only reason there can be a shortage of anything in a functioning economy is the State.
Don’t forget credit of potential families eaten by the higher education loan system.
Try building a house in Australia without council approval.
Good luck!
Scarcity of resources is the economic problem.
Governments tend to exacerbate it, I’ll grant. That was kind of my point.
But I remain to be convinced that anarchy (the absence of the state) would be any better. That’s why human beings form societies that require a basic level of governance – mutual protection from the state of anarchy.
And the common law is the creation of…a state!
Building a bit of a lottery, even under the current level of regulation. A laissez faire residential building industry might prove interesting.
Overly strict regulation at state and council levels comes under my rubric of government interference to the point of obstruction.
I suspect Barry and I agree more than disagree.
US unemployment rising 4 months in a row.

It is interesting to look at the payroll reports (employer survey) vs the household survey (which is similar to ours in Oz).The 2 series have been divergent for a considerable time (over 2 years). Payroll has been posting modest gains whilst the household survey has been flat with full time employment now falling. It would seem a jobs recession has been occurring in the USA for a good while.
JC,

Plea deals with three September 11 suspects revokedStaff WritersReuters
Sat, 3 August 2024 9:27AM
US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin has revoked plea deals agreed with the man accused of masterminding the September 11 attacks and two accomplices.
The Pentagon said on Wednesday the plea deals had been entered into but did not elaborate on details.
A US official said they almost certainly involved guilty pleas in exchange for taking the death penalty off the table.
However on Friday, Austin relieved the Pentagon’s Guantanamo war court’s authority to enter into pre-trial agreements in the case and took on the responsibility himself.
“Effective immediately, in the exercise of my authority, I hereby withdraw from the three pre-trial agreements,” Austin wrote in a memo on Friday.
Many Republican lawmakers, including House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, strongly criticised the plea deals.
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is the most well-known inmate at the detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, which was set up in 2002 by then-US President George W Bush to house foreign militant suspects following the September 11, 2001, attacks.
Mohammed is accused of masterminding the plot to fly hijacked commercial passenger aircraft into the World Trade Centre in New York City and into the Pentagon.
The 9/11 attacks killed nearly 3000 people and plunged the US into what would become a two-decade-long war in Afghanistan.
Plea deals had also been reached by two other detainees: Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin ‘Attash and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi.

I heard a clip of her speaking at the Atlanta rally and it was cringeworthy.

I did a bit of Googling into the 20 stab “suicide”. Next day the medical examiner ruled it as homicide but was then told by cops to make it a suicide. That in itself is very odd.
Seems victim was found in locked apartment with no defensive wounds and found by boyfriend who had to break in door.
Despite being an old case it is still very much in the news as only this week articles about family taking case to state supreme court to get it ruled as homicide. The Wiki entry for victim reveals Josh Shapiro removed himself as AG handling the case due to a conflict of interest that is not explained.

Seen him lately? He’s been pigging out in the Parliamentary dining room. It’s a good paddock.
My Kent based daughter told me last night that the rural middle class are not supporting the protests. Most are cheering on the police.
She notes that rural Kent is probably the area of England least effected by racial and political tensions. They simply do not accept the emerging risks; they believe that the blame lies with racist city working class who have intimidated the muslims for decades (and who voted Brexit); and they do not accept that Starmer is a revolutionary extremist.
I recall that her deceased husband and his family were absolutely convinced that the English are to blame for community dislocation.
Her opinion is that nothing will change until the rural middle class realise that Starmer truely intends to disposses them of their land holdings. Until then they will continue their ‘green and pleasant land’ naive lifestyle.
I do wish that she would sell-up and return to Oz, but sadly that won’t happen.
You don’t have to be a political genius to understand that Starmer’s repression is simply “wire down the pressure valve McTavish” idiocy.
Ta for the perspective bons.
Lets hope Starmer starts dumping “refugees” in places like this as well then.
Might be a rude awakening.

Interesting that my YouTube feed brought up Candace Owens Ep 38 which relates to Josh Shapiro and the 20 stab case. However when I click on it I get a blank and can’t access the episode. Will try on a PC later.
I did a search, found it, and it has a warning about content. I pressed the “I wish to proceed” and the thing simply went back to the original warning screen. Tried a few work arounds…no dice.
I can only conclude the episode in question is being actively suppressed.
Draw your own conclusions then about the “suicide”.
Okay. Got this one to work. Different Google line item.

Probably not worth the effort. Ms Owens has fallen down the antisemitic rabbithole and Mr Shapiro is Jewish.

Olympic women’s boxing eligibility controversy is a reminder of the harm in trusting bad faith actors
Hi there Mr Bad Faith Actor!
But we don’t trust him!
I miss Bruce McAvaney commenting on Olympics Athletics. The current guys are doing OK but Bruce has that enthusiasm for the sport. It is not as ‘Special’.
Bruce McAvaney is calling the Paris Olympics for the ABC. The Seven Network released him so he could call the Games. The TV rights are held by the Nine Network.
Well that makes one of us. McAvaney on the AFL was straight for the off button.
Rooster, defend this bilge. She’s a freaking arsehole, so no wonder you’re defending her.
I think she is not reviling all men in this statement.
However, it’s a fairly easy slide to see it as all men, just as when a specific sort of woman is reviled, and the sense of it is then extended to all women.
Possibly this sort of extension to the general case is deeply embedded now in the thinking of a lot of people due to the ‘gender wars’ stuff of this era.
Here’s an interesting question for the legal fraternity:
Is a conversation in a Public Bar between several patrons private, or can anyone join in?
Why bring in lawyers? When the interrupter either gets accepted or told where to go by the people chatting, thats conduct below the threshhold for involvement of the law.
OTOH, its not around the private dinner table so Gillian Triggs might get up in your grill over it.
You’ve missed the point of the question:
Not a lawyer, but it’s both. It’s private in the sense that they’re not obliged to include anyone but it’s public in the sense that people can overhear and may interrupt and be engaged or ignored as the others see fit.
I don’t think I missed it; I asked why lawyers would get involved when its up to the participants to choose how to act.
Chris, I think you did. Dover understood the question and gave a logical answer.
From the bullying cheat in red all the way up to the organisers who allowed this to happen, this is men revelling in their power over women.
Rowling is being specific here.
the cheat
the organisers
those in between
Not all men. The men involved in this particular fiasco.
What she omitted was that there must have been some women involved in the decision making. And there is a certain type of woman who revels in seeing another woman beaten. We see Youtube skirmishes all the time of these skanks.
What appears to be a common thread is the homosexual lobby being heavily involved in way too many of the Paris Games Administrative decisions.
Not the homosexual lobby as a whole, but “queer theory” activists. Somewhere, and I don’t know where I read a comment along the lines of “nothing seems to have changed since the Nazis painted the frogs as degenerates in the 1930s” making specific reference to Macrons tweet immediately after the last supper scene … “This is France!”
OK – I’ll stand with what Diogenes says. The activist/queer theory shit stirrers appear to have been over represented in way too many decisions.
You might’ve missed the comment, calli.
I can’t be bothered going back to retrieve it.
She’s criticizing men, suggesting it’s a typical trait.
Yeah nah. Context is implied of the ongoing attacks on her and other women by the cock-in-a-frock brigade
You’d expect trannies to be going for her. That’s the focus of her attacks.
I don’t think so from that text, JC.
In the same way, when I read someone fulminating here about “women”. I never believe they’re talking about “all women”, just a specific sub-set of women.
Just as cohenite identifies his preferred females* as “cute owls”, Rowling identified the exact sub set of men she was eviscerating.
*mercifully not All Women. There aren’t enough leg squeezers and barbells in the world to have us all looking like that…let alone the gallons of spray tan.
Rowling was happy with feminism while it was dissolving ‘gender boundaries’ for women but she changed her tune when it turned on women themselves.
There are a lot of us like that. I was glad to have a chance in an industry once dominated by males. Happy for my daughters also.
Never for one moment thought I’d be seeing a hulking male thrash a woman in an Olympic boxing ring though. And be applauded and defended for it.
Don’t knock it. J K Rowling and Naomi Wolf are getting red-pilled amazingly, especially the latter. This tranny doctrinal stuff seems to’ve penetrated their impenetrable mental armour in a way that nothing else could.
Perfectly normal! I am the same over wanting to keep laws that let me breathe, if performed in private and at my own expense.
Just like lefties liked free speech when they were an irritating minority in the Arts faculty; 50 years later they own the entire Government, media and education sectors and are OK if someone imprisons or kills you to prevent you speaking.
Feminism was OK from women. Less so from blokes.

Who gives a rat’s?
If it is men’s fault that some chick walked into a competition with a man and got her head punched (newsflash feminists, one of the ways you win a boxing bout is by knocking your opponent unconscious with a blow to the head) then that is a tacit admission that women cannot be in charge of themselves.
Which is it feminists?
Choose one, and explain why if women aren’t competent to box, why are they competent to run companies, vote, become admirals, generals or university vice chancellors.
Either a woman is competent to decide for herself if the rules of a competition and the other competitors make it too dangerous to enter, or they aren’t. And if they aren’t able to make that distinction, then maybe, just maybe, we should consider again: what is a woman and what is her role?
Now someone might argue: but there are weight classes to ensure that even the men aren’t in competitions where they are seriously outclassed.
This is true. But only relatively recently, historically.
As men grow older and bone density and muscle mass increase, they move up through the weight classes. There is no reason why, if one believed women to be men’s equal, the rules could not be modified such that weight classes were based on lean muscle mass. This would be “fairer” to women who have more fat.
However, does anyone seriously think this would compensate for the other attributes of masculine over feminine? Even a women of the same lean muscle mass would often get her head beaten in by the average man of the same lean mass. Therefore we are left with there being something else inherently about the nature of women, that:
What we CAN with complete confidence predict, based on past experience is that this controversy will NOT lead to a reexamination of women and their role in society.
What it WILL lead to is calls to dilute the forces on the heads of opponents in combat sports.
In other words: to accomodate women in boxing, rules will be changed. Gloves will have more padding. Knockouts will be banned.
Just as obstacle courses were made easier to accomodate female recruits and standards lowered for firemen and police height restrictions removed, so too will boxing be completely destroyed by the participation of yet more bloody females in fields of endeavour where they do not belong.
Women who agree to go head to head with men in physical sports are stupid. This has been my opinion since day one.
Women who are qualified and competent to do particular jobs should have the opportunity to do those jobs.
I don’t see how one circumstance negates the other.
Which jobs Calli? That is the question.
Most jobs involve physical work and risk.
Only in the white collar fields can anyone make the assumption of equality between the sexes.
I would never want my daughter to have to do the career I had, in the fields I worked. not any of them. I love her far too much to want to see her beaten down attempting that.
Fitting and turning.
Work on the waterfront.
Driving taxis at night.
Mechanic work in high pressure shops.
Maintenance work on garbage trucks.
Clearing out bars late at night.
Infantry soldiering.
Or even working in low socioeconomic schools with a heavy male student population bias.
I have known women who have worked in all these fields in general, but never without serious modification of the work involved. You don’t ask the female security guard to clear out the bar at 1:00 am. You don’t ask the female soldier to occupy a trench for weeks on end. You don’t ask the female mechanic to strip out a gearbox from under a car out in the yard in pelting rain. You don’t ask the female truck mechanic to fix the hydraulics in the back of a full garbage truck that has been out in the sun for half the week.
And the number of times I had to rescue female colleagues from the shit behaviour of young terrors in schools, and the extra amount of stress it created for everyone, I do not want to talk about. Women should teach girls and men should teach boys.
Your examples come down to qualification and competency.
Women (well, most women) are not physically qualified for many of them. Therefore they would be incompetent at them.
I have always liked the idea of segregated schools. I refused to pay for my daughters to “civilise” boys. Let them civilise themselves.
No. They come down to the fundamental difference between men and women.
Men are disposable drones who sacrifice themselves to build a society.
They die at an unholy rate and burn faster and brighter. They are produced at a slightly higher rate to compensate for this.
I don’t want my women treated as disposable drones thanks very much.
I’m built for that, they aren’t.
This is the natural order, seen in the sex differences in most animal.
Women are weaker, smaller and have a narrower IQ distribution.
Men are stronger, bigger and the smart ones are smarter and the stupid ones are stupider.
My second para sums that up.
Learn to recognise when someone agrees with you.
The other facts are now added to the original statement. I agree with that also.
Sorry.
I did that thing I rarely do, but which is common: I read the first para and responded before reading the rest.
I blame you!
You should have put your main point first.
Something like:
”Arky you are completely right about everything, let me expand on why you are so great”.
Something like that.
Oh, and I’d prefer that no one, least of all any commenter here, was treated like a disposable drone.
There are too few of us already!
It’s the nature of the beast and will always be so.
Also, do I want my daughter’s future husband to have had to remove a gearbox under pelting rain or clear a bar at 3am?
Hell yes. He’s a drone, and drones are rugged and usually sensible.
Hey Arky, there are always outliers in any distribution.
I am a proud outlier on some indices. Up to others to determine which ones, and why, and in which direction. lol
I’m with you in most of that, Arky.
Did she know she was going to fight a man? Did she believe the organisers (all men btw) when they said it was ok he was really a she ?

Personally, I can’t imagine why any woman would want to take up boxing. I have always believed that women are fundamentally unsuited to the majority of combat roles, and also many sports that are tailored to utilise the physicality of males. On the other hand, women in contemporary western societies have certainly increased participation in both sporting and workplace endeavours that have been denied them in the past. I have no problems with this if their physical capability allows it.
However, as with many other sociological developments in this era, the “baby has been thrown out with the bathwater” & common sense has not prevailed. The determination of the feminista to invade every male domain is just feeble and stupid. They are ideologues and, as such, devalue the women they encourage to compete with men who are biologically stronger and more suited to their field.
I’m with you, Arky. This argument is about acknowledging reality.
Activists with heads full of ideology can’t acknowledge reality because they’re dedicated to imposing the mad physical unreality of “guurls can do anything men can do” on the rest of us.
Human females are physically weaker than men. They’re designed that way.
Telling females they can do anything men can do is a recipe for disaster wherever it is attempted.
Ideologues arguing that’s not the case are dangerous because they’re trying to suspend the laws of physics.
I just don’t like my airline pilots to be female. It is irrational and whatever, but I am far more comfortable if a man, preferably an older and more experienced man, is at the front of the plane and in charge. It has something to do with authority and experience, and something to do with emotions about competence when menstrual/menopausal, and probably nothing to do with anything sensible – but I still get that gut feeling, and I suspect I’m not alone there. Similarly I don’t much admire female captains or large ships, been on a cruise with a female captain, but at least there one knows it’s not just one person’s hand on the tiller.
Just colour me crazy.
And I still admire the IDF girls who did a great job on Oct 7 and the many women who’ve braved physical dangers in many wars. I just don’t want to institutionalise and routinize certain sorts of traditional male work as female work.
In the same way I think many men are unsuited to be child-care workers (some are though) and similarly, some male nurses are great but rarely are they as good as top female nurses, certainly in caring for women.
Hellooo. “Contract” HR dogsbody should be a massive heads up that the chop can come any time and at the front of the queue. So sad.

My recollection of Rowling before the tranny brouhaha is that she was a bog standard freelance feminist. She called down upon herself the wrath of the professional class when she didn’t go along with the cocks-in-frocks.
There is a sort of inverse ‘prodigal son’ dynamic with lefties. Just as the prodigal son was celebrated more for returning home the left have a special turned-to-twelve* level of hate for anyone they perceive as abandoning the cause. Troglodytes like men or the women who marry them a merely evil, but when one of their own leaves they see it as a betrayal. Its personal. They are never more animated than when it is personal – and indeed when they really want to fire people up they make it personal. They will lie and exaggerate and hiss and spit to tell people something bad is directly targeted at them.
But Rowling became a traitor (there was someone else here who used that as their go-to as well as their most visceral insult)…well, she became a traitor and that is why they will not allow her a moment’s rest.
I suspect her objection to the tranny fad is personal – it is an assault on the magic of womanhood which thereby becomes her magic.
I hate it because it is stupid, hurts other people and damages society even thought it has almost no impact on me personally whatsoever.
*Eleven is the standard level for anyone who does not go along with their beliefs.

Admittedly it’s only air pistol, so no need for ear muffs. Still cool as!
Its usual to put the spare hand in the pocket for one-hand target shooting; creates repeatability of position and restricts another source of movement – and looks very relaxed too!
I’ll add this one I saw today:
That would be awesome!
Dear Lord, do be careful about questions like that. It will end up being something that the government will feel a need to step in and regulate. They will bring
a raftan RMS Titanic of laws predicated on imagined power dynamics filled with acknowledgements and rituals, managed by a new and bloated bureaucracy staffed by bloated purple haired freaks who have no place in nature and enforced by malformed misanthropes who have a grudge against people who are capable of enjoyment.Everything the buzzing brains of government fixes upon it kills.

In your world of course she isn’t, you homosexual nancy. It wasn’t me who was triggered, rooster. It was you by having to respond to the copy & paste that I posted of her tweet. Now bugger off and learn to link.
Here’s a quiz question for all those mind readers who think they’ve understood Rowling well including those genius scientific clairvoyants who are now claiming she has been red pilled.
Let’s say people (but mostly men though) succeed in banning females with penises from participating in female sports and other depraved behavior, such as using female toilets.
Anyone think Rowling will go back to form, or she will keep taking the red pills?
In my opinion, Rowling hates men and will go back to what she did before. She’s no friend. Fck her.
Also: her books are shit.
Oh and those shoes with dress. Yuk!
Absolutely! I bought every one as they came out and read every word to my kids, so I know what you are talking about. Totes terf-ville af lol.
I was disappointed when my then six year old started reading them. I flicked through one and realised the vocabulary was well below her level.
She read the lot in about a year or so. Had to watch some of the movies with her too. Which I could at least sleep through.
Last year I got her into Sven Hassel.
Which has her saying stuff like “Pick your bleeding feet up, what do you think this is? Spastic bloody Sunday”?
Yeah nah. She can be who she is, and I will cheer the acts I like and ignore the bits I dont care about.

Rowling is a professional writer and knows exactly the meaning of the words she uses like no one else. She’s the only person who’s ever made a billion dollars plus from writing. The richest writer ever.
Do you really think she was being specific in her criticism of men in the context of that abortion?
She could have said, “The men and women,” or she could’ve condensed it to simply, “those people.” No, the old witch went after men like any man-hating feminist bitch. She knew exactly what she was doing. She was telegraphing to the sisterhood that she’s still on their team, and this is settled it will be back to man bashing.

I’m with you too Tom. I’d also add one other thing.
Since the advent of modern feminism, which is these days an extension of hard leftism, women have told anyone who would listen that women can do anything men can.
Women now appear to have a serious issue with men pretending they’re women and invading what was regarded as female territory, like sports, etc.
Well, let the women sort out and fix their problems. Men should stay right out of it.
JC,
I am presuming you are using homosexual as a kind of insult. Not very tolerant of you.
I think we can safely say you have lost the debate if that is your pathetic response.

Re Trump’s persona and debate style, mentioned by Vicki last night, what really gets me is that so often Trump does not throw back at them their extraordinary ‘out of context’ lies that they construct from his speeches.
For instance, at the start of that black stenographer’s interview she reeled off, by way of introduction, a catalogue of lies about what he’d ‘said’ or ‘believed in’. He should have made a blanket statement immediately that all of that was lies, extracted out of context, before he went on the attack about the false pretences which drew him to this interview and and before he was led into detail on Kamala’s ethnicity.
Letting this hostile interviewer blatantly say this in her intro without immediate rebuttal was a great missed opportunity. If he doesn’t rebut their lies when they make them in his hearing, the lies stand.
..
Trump designs the quotes SO THAT they can’t resist them.
Otherwise they wouldn’t cover him at all.
That’s the beauty of saying stuff like “I’ll be a dictator on day one only”.
He knows they can’t resist the part of the quote that is “I’ll be dictator”.
Vietnam President To Lam named Communist Party chiefPhuong Nguyen and Francesco GuarascioReuters
Sat, 3 August 2024 12:23PM
Vietnamese President To Lam has vowed not to change the country’s foreign policy after being named general secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam – the nation’s top position.
Lam took over the duties of party chief on July 18, replacing Nguyen Phu Trong the day before his death as his health deteriorated.
Party delegates unanimously supported Lam’s nomination, officials told a press conference on Saturday.
Addressing the delegates, Lam vowed to inherit and promote Trong’s legacy, make no changes to the Southeast Asian nation’s foreign policy, focus on achieving its socio-economic development goals and “fiercely” continue Vietnam’s anti-graft campaign.
“In the coming time, the work on anti-corruption will be continued fiercely,” Lam told reporters.
“I feel fortunate that I have much experience in handling anti-graft campaign during the time I worked at the police ministry.”
Vietnam, a major destination for manufacturing investment, has long been favoured by multinational corporations for political stability but in recent months has experienced major political turbulence officials said was fuelled by the anti-corruption campaign.
Vietnam does not formally have a paramount leader, but the head of the party effectively plays a more prominent role than others after Trong strengthened the powers of the role during his 13-year tenure.
Lam, a career security officer, had been seen as long aiming to become party chief, with experts calling the presidency a stepping stone for the top job.
It was not immediately clear whether Lam would keep both top jobs until the end of this legislative session in 2026, or whether a new president would be chosen.
Lam was elected president in May after leading a sweeping campaign of high-profile investigations against corruption as police minister.
He replaced Vo Van Thuong, who had been in the job about a year when he quit amid accusations of unspecified wrongdoing.

You’re asking Trump to go on the defense in a room filled to the ceiling with TDS. It would’ve taken half a day to refute the black bitch’s bullshit.
What he did was superb. He basically called her a rude bitch and dismissed her completely. That’s Trump, and that’s how he deals with these blowflies. His reply was excellent, as that was all she deserved. She acted like an entitled pouting bitch, and she was treated like one by being put in her place.
No, JC. I agree he was superb. But first off, a complete dismissal of her fabricated garbage about him. That needs to be done – always – whenever he’s present and encounters it. He doesn’t have to go into the detail, just say the whole lot of it is out-of-context nonsense.
You have to remember that this is for the general public to be informed about how lying they are. We know she’s a pouting bitch, but not all of the TV viewers know it, until he puts down her lying.
There is a simple, classical, solution to the problem of men pushing into women’s sports.
Return to the style of the original Olympics, everyone competes naked, with the proviso that any two competitors can have an interloper expelled. Anyone with a “lady penis” will be obvious.
She’s criticizing men, suggesting it’s a typical trait.
That’s how I read it.
Well not entirely. I referred to you as a nancy as well.
I’m very tolerant in fact. I wouldn’t advocate tossing you from the top level of a tall building. At least not for that reason. Being a pedantic, annoying troll is a different matter entirely though.
Of course you’d declare yourself the winner, because that’s what a nancy queen would do.

Sorry to hear that BB. Let us know if you are coming up to Sydney anytime soon as part of your recuperation. Trust all goes well and that the painkillers are kicking in ok right now.
Lawn bowls should be fine, but stay clear of Bingo. From what I’ve heard, the latter attracts a lot of unprovoked violence. (Sit at the wrong table and you’re a goner).
Oh dear, BB. Hope its not too painful and you make a complete recovery.

Can empathise. Broke collar bone coming off a horse. Ten days later, just as it was starting to knit, broke it again. groan.
Get this. Apple recently reported its quarterly result.
It made around US$86 billion in sales and returned US$22 billion profit.
Just take the sales. Call a quarter 90 days for ease.
It had sales of just under 1 billion dollars a day, which is close to $40 million an hour, US$660,000 per minute, and US$11,000 a second. Mind boggling.

I expect you are about to discover just how many actions and movements involve the collar bone.
Actually, here’s my two bob’s worth, for what it’s worth…..
In the late 1970s a radical lesbian feminist by the name of Janice Reymond wrote a book called ‘The Transsexual Empire’. I read it years ago, when it was still available No publisher would touch it now. In her book, Reymond chillingly predicted this lunacy we now find ourselves in, where the female is annihilated and the ‘woman’ is appropriated by male perverts, by cocks in frocks, by autogynephiles, by fetishists and so on.
Whilst most men are appalled at this stage of affairs, a few men are having a good old laugh.
But who is to blame for this freak horror show? A horror show where I read and watch a video of an adult human female being pummelled by an adult human male who says HE is a woman. My jaw drops at the brute force I witnessed and I say to myself, gosh, we now have a new Olympic sporting category, a category called ‘Bashing Women’. Our resident Nazi must be so thrilled.
But back to blame, just who is to blame? Well, here’s the blunt unfashionable truth, it is women who are primarily to blame for this lunacy. For decades women were told and believed they could be anything, they could do anything, they didn’t need the male, females were no different to males, the male were irrelevant, males are idiots, males are morons, males are stupid, males are expendable, all males are abusers, all males are prospective rapists….and on and on the pejoratives went. Feminists such as Greer, Rowling, Millet, Wolf and others spent decades demeaning males and masculinity, berating males and masculinity, trying to erase males and masculinity, and like a freaky creepy horror novel written by Mary Shelley, women are now waking up to the stark reality of Imane Khelif and that it is women who are being supplanted and erased.
Don’t get me wrong, I like Rowling….a lot. I think she’s a hero, she stands up to the bullies, but it is also high time she and others acknowledged the pernicious and sinister role of feminism in this freak show. Radical feminism nurtured the toxic weed of transgenderism, allowing the weed to grow and flourish, and like all weeds it is now strangling and destroying its host…..the female.

All the best, bloke.
I did my collarbone at a playground in Carnarvon. The Doc’s just put in a sling. No surgery needed …. I can’t remember how long it took to mend. I have to ask mum.
I was 4.
I did mine off a bicycle in the army.
Pushed the bike five k back to med centre, someone chucked a sling on and I was told to come back in the morning when Xray was open.
“Here, sir. Have a box of panadol.”
“Great. Thanks.”
Off on sick leave for 5 days, out on Exercise a week later. “That radio, sir. You can carry it. The weight will pull everything back into position.” Actually it did, but still hurt.
Good times.
The road to hell etc.
Rugby League has always been a tough sport. Head knocks and concussions were part and parcel of it and legends carried on after an ice bucket brought them to.
Then, in the “Progressive” age, it was deemed illegal for contact to be made above the shoulders.
About this time, it was decided ladies could play too.
Of course, unlike men, their abdomen contains rather essential plumbing to ensure the future of the species.
Right in the sweet spot for legal tackles.
The same geniuses are now wondering why those less muscled female knees seem more prone to ACL injuries in contact sports.
In an age where males in certain sports are donating their brains to science and taking legal action over damage caused by contact sports, one questions the wisdom of encouraging women to beat each other senseless.
Most unlady like.

I cannot imagine stabbing oneself that many times without being in a state of intoxication or psychosis.
Radical feminism nurtured the toxic weed of transgenderism, allowing the weed to grow and flourish, and like all weeds it is now strangling and destroying its host…..the female.
The fundamental thesis of feminism is that women had been subjugated by the patriarchal society for thousands of years, and nobody noticed until Germaine Greer pointed it out in the seventies.
I actually gave this proposition a few seconds thought when I first met it. Which is much more than it deserves.
The Five is always great news viewing, even during this week without Gutfeld and just Watters and the Judge. That spifflicating leftie bitch Tarlov cops heaps from these 2 and I just feel it is imminent that the Judge is going to smack her in the mouth during one of tarlov’s condescending tirades, which today consisted of defending the blokes at the olympics who are beating the bejesus out of the sheilas.
Cassie at 5pm:
Correct.
21st century feminists don’t actually believe in feminism. They’re willing slaves of Marxism. The only thing they believe in is the supremacy of (and their subservience to) the leftist tribe.
The ruling elite in the leftist tribe are male homosexuals who, like old-fashioned male chauvinists, successfully assert their control over the little women of feminism.
Male poofters are in charge of the modern leftist tribe and feminism’s little women are too afraid of the tribal rules to assert any sort of feminist rights.
As Cassie observes, feminists have themselves to blame for the attacks on women by violent, male homosexuals (a.k.a. cocks in frocks) in Olympic sports.
Like government that seeks only to promote its own growth, faux-Gucci feminism is concerned with advancing the causes of an exclusive, First World, perceived elite.
Someone mentioned Piers Morgan.
Morgan did an excellent interview with Stephen Myer discussing the big holes in evolutionary science. Myer is a very calm sciency dude with great persuasive abilities in the way he presents his arguments. Great watching,.

NT Police Commissioner Michael Murphy delivers public apology to Indigenous Territorians at Garma Festival
@fiawalsh

August 3, 2024 – 4:42PM
Northern Territory Police Commissioner Michael Murphy has publicly apologised to Indigenous Territorians for harms and injustices caused by the force over the past 154 years of policing.
Commissioner Murphy delivered the historic apology at the Garma Festival on Saturday, committing to ensure future recruits understand the history and impacts of colonisation on First Nations people.
“The statements I make today are likely to make some of you feel uncomfortable or trigger strong emotions,” he said.
“But truth-telling is critical for the Northern Territory Police to own its part in the challenging history many Aboriginal people have experienced over many decades.
“So today, as Commissioner of the Northern Territory Police, I unequivocally say; I am deeply sorry to all Aboriginal Territorians, for the past harms and the injustices caused by members of the Northern Territory Police.”
One suspects that providing exclusive rights for the indigenous to breed unicorns will achieve more than such empty symbolism. The profits from milking their flatulence and selling the same to ruinable energy businesses would provide a healthy economic stimulus to remote communities. That’s not to mention the powdered horn and car seat cover pelt products, among others.
Stunning.
Brave.
I notice he hasn’t sacked himself or performed seppuku on the spot.

JK Rowling found her line in the sand.
And she gets a lot of abuse and threats for it, including iirc someone trying to break into her home so I’ll give her credit for that.
Graham Lineham is my stand out anti trans activism, he’s lost his career over it.
I’ve seen trans bagging JK and a bunch of women at a dinner because they had (mostly) short hair but that’s pretty normal for older ladies.
They don’t get hair extensions or Dolly Parton wigs like middle aged men with male pattern baldness larping as women.
Because that’s what a woman is, heels, frocks, hair, make-up.
Right fellas?
Good to see Pagliacci demolish every one of Monty’s talking points.
9.7 million votes out of 49 million enrolled voters of whom a little less than 29 million turned out. Hardly a mandate to change the nation, which Starmer & Co, will do regardless, just as Albanese & Co. are doing here with c. 32% of the primary vote.
If you don’t turn out don’t complain.
I think voting is also a sort of a vote. If neither of the above applies then you don’t vote. Perhaps the Liars should be taking that into account as they could end up as a one term government. Things are pretty volatile.
True enough, but as JC says, a responsible government would take note of the lack of enthusiasm and proceed accordingly.
I’m not sure the Liars ever proceed on that basis. Exhibit A – Gillard being installed by those 2 gutless clowns.
Mossad hired Iranian agents to plant bombs in Hamas chief’s residenceBy Akhtar MakoiiAugust 3, 2024 — 11.09am
Listen to this article
5 min
Mossad, Israel’s intelligence agency, hired Iranian security agents to plant explosives in three separate rooms of a building where a Hamas leader was staying, The Telegraph in London has learned.
The original plan was to assassinate Ismail Haniyeh, the political head of the Palestinian terror group, in May when he attended the funeral of Ebrahim Raisi, Iran’s former president.
The operation didn’t go ahead due to the large crowds inside the building and the high possibility of its failure, two Iranian officials told The Telegraph.
Instead, the two agents placed explosive devices in three rooms of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp (IRGC) guesthouse in north Tehran where Haniyeh might stay.
The agents were seen moving stealthily as they entered and exited multiple rooms within minutes, according to the officials who have CCTV footage of the building.
The operatives are then said to have snuck out of the country but had a source still in Iran. At 2am on Wednesday, they detonated the explosives from abroad in the room where Haniyeh was staying.
The explosion killed Haniyeh, who was in Tehran for the inauguration of President Masoud Pezeshkian.
“They are now certain that Mossad hired agents from the Ansar al-Mahdi protection unit,” an official within the IRGC told The Telegraph from Tehran, referring to an IRGC unit responsible for the safety of high-ranking officials.
He said: “Upon further investigation, they discovered additional explosive devices in two other rooms.”
A second official within the elite military forces of the IRGC told The Telegraph: “This is a humiliation for Iran and a huge security breach.”
The official said a working group had been established to come up with ideas to portray the assassination as not being a security breach.
“It’s still a question for everyone how it happened, I can’t make sense of it. There must be something higher up in the hierarchy that no one knows about,” he added.
There is now an internal blame game taking over the IRGC, with different sectors accusing each other of the failure, the first official said.
Esmail Qaani, the commander of the IRGC Quds force, has been summoning people to be fired, arrested and possibly executed, he said. “The breach has humiliated everyone.”
The official added: “The Supreme Leader has summoned all the commanders several times over the past two days, he wants answers.
“For him, addressing the security breach is now more important than seeking revenge.”
The IRGC is currently evaluating its options for retaliation, with a direct strike on Tel Aviv being a primary consideration, which would involve Lebanon’s Hezbollah and other Iranian proxies, The Telegraph understands.
The assassination of Haniyeh in the Iranian capital has intensified fears about Israel’s reach and influence within Iran.
Ali Younisi, Iran’s former intelligence minister, expressed concerns in a 2020 interview, saying, “All the officials of the Islamic Republic should be worried about their lives.”
“If the Zionist regime has not yet targeted the political authorities of the Islamic Republic, it is because it has not chosen to do so,” he said.
“This negligence to Mossad has allowed it to strike repeatedly and openly threaten the officials of the Islamic Republic,” he added
If the Iranian agents were not hired, they may have been blackmailed. Fear can be a more potent motivation than money.
More strength to their arm.
Why do folk persist in using the term “assassination” when someone off’s terrorist scum … FFS!
I was reading about some of these so called intersex medical conditions on the internet last night.
In most simple terms,at seven weeks gestation sex organs are in neutral then the xy is supposed to turn on the male pathway but sometimes, rarely, it doesn’t so a boy is stuck with female external genitalia, which is the default, if you like.
Those with ‘cais’ the more severe form are more or less are stuck with being female as no-one can usually tell til they reach puberty and they have pronounced female appearance but are infertile with atrophied gonads inside their bodies (some exceptions there).
The ones with DSD go through normal male puberty.
These people have nothing to do with trans.
Every single intersex condition is either male or female, it’s just sometimes more comfortable for the individual to identify as the opposite sex.
That aside, where they have gone through male puberty they shouldn’t be competing in female sports, even if they personally identify as female.
I’m into sex Rosie, just not as often as when I was younger.
You are right, Rosie. This condition has nothing to do with trans. Moreover, it is very rare.

“has been summoning people to be fired, arrested and possibly executed, he said”

I think you’ve said it very well. I would also add Kellie-Jay Keen as someone who is a standout, perhaps the standout. Don’t forget how, in March 2023, in an Auckland Park, Keen was spat on, sauced, and surrounded by a baying, frothing, foaming, hysterical lynch mob from which she was lucky to survive, she had to be dragged out by security, whilst Auckland Police stood by looking on.
Those grotesque and hideous images from Auckland will always remain infamous but remember how our Nazi thought they were a hoot, and that Keen ‘deserved’ to be nearly lynched (several women that day, who went to hear Keen, were themselves bashed).
But folks, ‘bashing women’ is now an Olympic sport.

Vit D, calcium supplements and even bisphosphonates would be advisable… as well as a good exercise regimen, esp weights and isometrics.

What are your thoughts on zinc supplements?
Nice rant, Cassie.
The common sense approach.
Which means it’s unlikely to get a hearing.
‘After the fire comes renewal’: Yolngu people unbowed as PM urges ‘new path’By Keira JenkinsAugust 3, 2024 — 2.49pm

First Nations people will renew themselves, despite the hurt of the failed Voice referendum, and continue to pursue a pathway to unity, attendees at the Garma Festival in the Northern Territory have heard.
Yothu Yindi Foundation chief executive Denise Bowden told the crowd at Australia’s largest Indigenous cultural gathering, the result of October’s referendum had been soul-crushing.
“Our ancestors made us strong, intelligent, determined people and we have needed all of these qualities as we experienced the referendum result,” she said.
Yothu Yindi chair Djawa Yunupingu said when he spoke at the 2023 Garma Festival that he was determined his people would have a voice in the Australian Constitution the following year.
That was not to be, with the push for an Indigenous Voice to parliament defeated – but Yunupingu said despite this hurt, his people choose to look to the future.
“Yolngu people are not dismissed by a single event,” he said at Gulkula in north-east Arnhem Land on Saturday morning.
“The land is timeless and powerful. It remains and we remain, and I stand here today to tell you we will renew ourselves, not tomorrow, but today.”
“We sought a path to unity and we still seek it, we know that after the fire comes renewal and that goodness rises in the country after the fire has burned through the country.”
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese gave his own reflections about the referendum when he addressed the Garma crowd, saying, “We gave our all. And we fell short.”
But the prime minister told the crowd on Saturday morning, he did not return to Garma to talk about what might have been.
Instead Albanese spoke about a new focus for Indigenous affairs, economic empowerment for First Nations people.
He announced a First Nations Economic Partnership with the Coalition of Peaks, and a $20 million investment to build the Garma Institute, a tertiary education centre owned and run by Yolngu people.
“I have not come back to this place of fire, to rake through the ashes,” he said.
“I am here because my optimism for a better future still burns.
“We can be a country where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have power over their destiny.”
Albanese said it was possible to confront the legacy of dispossession and disadvantage for Indigenous people and close the gap, but required a new path.
“We are living with what’s been tried before,” he said.
“We know where the old models take us, we know where the old road leads.
“We have to make a new path – and walk it together.”
Somebody want to tell Albo that pulling the legs of gullible whitefella’s is considered fine sport by the indigenous?
Elbow sounds about as authentic as Kamala trying to sound black in Atlanta.

What are your thoughts on zinc supplements?
No thoughts.
I’m in the “If it ain’t broke. don’t fix it” camp.
Measure zinc levels and then consider. If normal, do zip.
In the absence of malabsorption (which one would notice), a normal, non vegan, diet will supply all you need.
Supplements keep Blackmore’s et al in business and keep one from investing more dosh in the market.
Okay, thanks Gilas.

‘Terrible’: 23yo’s job horror exposes trend (News.com.au, 3 Aug)
You had the money for tatts, trout lips and bling.
I have zero sympathy.
FMD, what is it? Seriously this looks like a typically entitled brat with a self opinion as realistic as an economic policy from the filth.
I assume the food service and housekeeping industries are MacDonalds and motherhood?
But are you sure she needs to reproduce?
Looks like bolt ons as well.
No you’re not, ‘cheeks.
Smart potential employers are checking out your Insta account.
And running.

Is corrugated roofing a good source of dietary iron and zinc?

Depends on the level of entitlement the “anyone” has.
At the Cat drinks night a few years ago “Roxy from Toowoomba” certainly thought she was entitled.
Then they should get on and WORK for it, just like the productive workforce they and this Govt bludge off.
That’s a white, paternalistic, colonialist view of the situation.
Something I learned being around the Army as a juvenile is that respect is earned not demanded. One may have a hierarchical status but that doesn’t mean they hold any respect or weight.
Most ATSI leaders don’t even qualify for either in my observations.
Especially Gove where their so called leader is a shyster and convicted thug.

Yes, better if first dissolved in hydrochloric acid.
