When I were a pup I thought that family, name of Smith, must have had something wrong with them that they were so frickin’ destitute and needy.
Today I have just seen an ad for The Smith Family declaring that one in six Australian kids grow up in poverty.
Of course in Australia poverty is a statistical artefact – we could be nation of millionaires and the lower tier of millionaires would be povvoes.
But the ads are brilliant. Little Dickensian urchins turning up at school in ill-fitting school uniforms, broken in spirit, snared at the school entrance like a rag on a twig in a flood.
Sod that.
One more indulgent pint of Guinness will deal with that guilt.
Yeah, it’s bullshit.
I gave out a metric tonne of exercise books and pens bought with my own money to povo kids over the years.
Some of them (most of them) you had to take the book and pen off them at the end of the lesson, keep it at your desk until the next lesson, otherwise it would simply disappear.
The problem isn’t that they don’t get stuff, the problem is they have zero interest in keeping it or using it for what it is meant for.
But I had to do that if I wanted a record of what I could get them to do in class.
This idea that there is some group of little urchins who will be ever so grateful that someone finally gave them some stationary!
It’s deluded horseshit.
I still remember in 4th or fifth class, being given an exercise book by a teacher. I know it sounds odd, but I was overwhelmed by her generosity. A whole 48 page exercise book for me!
“Thank you very much!” said the young Winston, and she looked at me funny. Perhaps I surprised her with my gratitude, or perhaps she wasn’t used to someone saying ‘thank you’.
Odd the things you remember.
Place I worked in 79 was just around the corner from them. Our boss used to go right off. Look at those bastards crying poor with a carpark full of Mercedes.
Daughter doing Uni for a K-2 Education degree. (in 90s) Sent to a local school for prac. Had to give starving children breakfast. Mothers had coffee and packets of ciggies at front gate. Disgusting.
Kids went to a well regarded Govt. Primary School in a “ Good” area.
Sought after as a cheaper alternative to a private college for many families until their kids could join a college at Middle School level.
Wife came to know many on the school staff – told a surprising number of parents never paid the modest school charges.
Often the ones with the new Euro SUV whose kids went to College later.
I don’t mind people doing well – but jeez guys, a bit of noblesse oblige at the very least.
Notice how all the neglected waifs are white as ?
And all the prosperous busy middle class families in ad-land have at least one golden brown fuzzy haired member?
Brash: Isn’t it a bit dumbfounding that a first-term prime minister is claiming underdog status? And … do you recognise that you’re a bit on the nose with the electorate?”
Albanese: You’re verballing me there.
Brash: Well, that’s my job.
Albanese: No, it’s not actually, it’s not the job of the ABC. There’s enough other media outlets trying to engage in that. I’m confident that we will form a majority government after the next election.
Although I checked the ABC’s job description and it still says ‘ask only softball questions to an ALP PM’, so Albo is right!
Three billion Dollars of NGO funding ended on February 2nd, 2025. The survivors of the Nerdlear fire called the war Dogement Day. They lived only to face a new nightmare: the war against the Auditors. The computer which controlled the machines, Elonnet, sent two Auditors back through accounts. Their mission: to destroy the leader of the deep state resistance, Deep State, my son. The first Auditor was programmed to strike at me in the year 1981, before Deep State was born. It failed. The second was set to strike at the Deep State Itself when it lost an election. As before, the resistance was able to send a Hawaiian Judge, a protector for Deep State. It was just a question of which one of them would Audit him first.
Just a few days ago, the FAA’s primary aircraft safety notification system failed for several hours,” Elon Musk said referring to NOTAM’s failure over the weekend.
Hillary Clinton responded to Secretary Duffy and attacked the young Gen Z whiz kids working on Elon Musk’s DOGE team.
“They have no relevant experience,” Hillary Clinton said taking a shot at the young geniuses. “Most of them aren’t old enough to rent a car.”
“And you’re going to let them mess with airline safety that’s already deteriorated on your watch?” Clinton added.
FMD.
Systems don’t “deteriorate” in 2 weeks (unless of course, there was deliberate nobbling, which is something else altogether).
NOTAM is an acronym meaning “Notice to Airmen“, a term which I am surprised has survived the era of DEI.
These are temporary addenda to fixed aviation rules, regulations and designations.
Example. A NOTAM might be issued to temporarily restrict airspace for, say, a military exercise, or a Presidential visit, or a runway closure for maintenance, which is otherwise shown as accessible on permanent charts.
The point is, you don’t need to know a lot about aviation to work on the NOTAM system (the recording and distribution, not the drafting of content). It is basically a documentation system which needs to be robust, redundant and tightly controlled.
I’m surprised she hasn’t decamped to a country with no extradition agreement with the US to be honest. I mean, there’s bound to be tens of millions of USAID money been gifted to the Clinton Foundation you would guess.
If systems deteriorated like that in two weeks and as we know it’s not linear, meaning within two months air travel will be banned in the US.

Carbon Credit Scheme has hit the skids because of fraud and a complete lack of measurable results.
It was always a case of companies scamming farmers who were silly enough not to recognise all the risk was theirs.
Where’s that report Gez?
My BiL was recently filthy that Bendigo bank knocked back his cereal programme to 70%, and then offered to provide his carbon audit a few months latwr
I notice adverts on TeeVee from “Farmers for Climate Action” with the mouthpiece being, of course, a farmer with turbines on his property.
The punchline … “Farmers should decide what to do with their land”.
He doesn’t mention he is part of a cartel which would happily compulsorily acquire other people’s land for transmission and distribution.
Every once in a while there are reports that the entire carbon credit/trading thing is a scam. Mafia ridden worthless market. Yet nothing is done. Because climate. Its as if the world has given up on Legal rights, and economics.

Notice to Airmen didn’t survive DEI in the US. Renamed Notice To Air Missions a couple of years ago to be less sexist or some such blather.
Congressional Democrats have reportedly been rendered powerless and frustrated amid a deluge of angry calls from their constituents demanding that they resist President Trump at every turn.
Lawmakers told Axios that angry constituents have been ringing their phones off the hook with demands that they more adequately resist Trump, a situation over which they maintain little control. Democrats feel that constituents have been setting their expectations too high and should understand they now hold the minority position in Congress.
Rage as much as you want lefties. The problem is of course that direct action is contraindicated, since righties have all the firearms and the military (except for shiny bums).
A drunk man who hitched a ride on a moving bus was unable to keep a firm grip because he was holding a bottle of rum in one hand, the coroner has found.
In light of a horror 2024 on Territory roadswhere 60 people lost their lives, NT Coroner Elisabeth Armitage said she would publish “anonymised findings” concerning all the road deaths.
She made the comment in the first of the released findings, published on Wednesday, which examined why a 37-year-old man was found dead on the side of the Stuart Hwy on March 19, 2024.
She determined the man’s cause of death to be from blunt force trauma when falling from the trailer of a Greyhound bus while under the influence of alcohol.
“He was run over by the wheels of the trailer and came to rest, concealed by long grass, in a spoon drain,” she said in her findings.
On the night of his death, Ms Armitage said the man – who was not on the banned drinkers register – was out drinking with friends, travelling between Devils Marbles hotel, Tennant Creek, and their home community.
After drinking for a number of hours, when travelling back to their home community, the blue Ford Falcon they were driving became bogged on the side of the Stuart Hwy, Ms Armitage said.
The passengers flagged down a passing Greyhound bus at 2.55am, who stopped and agreed to take two “of the more sober and less aggressive” passengers to the nearest roadhouse to get help, Ms Armitage said.
Ms Armitage said it was at this time the 37-year-old tried to stowaway on the trailer by sitting on the drawbar, however, two of his friends pulled him off.
“However, as the coach pulled away, he climbed back on. He cannot have had a firm grip because in one hand he was holding a bottle of rum. Unsurprisingly, but tragically for his family and community, he fell from the drawbar after travelling on it for 10 minutes and 45 seconds,” her findings said.
“No fault is attributed to the driver or co-driver as neither knew that the deceased had hitched a ride, he ultimately climbed onto the drawbar just as the coach was ready to depart, and the drawbar was hidden from their view.”
The bus driver did not a “live view” of CCTV footage on the rear of the bus, Ms Armitage said.
Before becoming bogged, Ms Armitage said two bottles of rum were consumed on the drive down by the group, during which the deceased was sitting “unrestrained” on the centre console.
Toxicological analysis found the man had a blood-alcohol level of 0.23 per cent.
He was found about 25km north of Devils Marbles.
Family members who had not seen him for days found him when they were conducting their own search for him, Ms Armitage said in her findings.
“It is hoped that by making findings about the circumstances of these deaths public, this will improve individual and agency awareness as to the causes of road fatalities, with the ultimate objective of saving lives and reducing the road death toll in the future,” Ms Armitage said.
I’m going to rewrite the “Alchohol: think again” ad, for the real problem drinking “community”.
Scene- family dinner table, lit like an opium den.
Kidult: Dad… can i grab a bottle of rum, ride the centre hump of the Falcon to the pub, and then hang off a bus on the way back?
Shamefaced dad- …no, son.
Gothic host of trauma victims: no… nope… no way.
…think it’ll fly? Get a mock up and some clapter on the Gruen Transfer?

I speculated last year that at some point you would have to choose between Trump ascendant and the poisonous crap you have been imbibing from Russian and Chinese channels.
Looks like we can see which fork you have gone down.
Can’t be too long before you are openly anti Trump.
I’m giving Trump space. He’s still in the first month and his exposure of USAID as one of the principle spigots of the GAE has been very good. The most important move so far; nothing else is close.
But I will call out dumb or counter-productive moves, especially one’s that typically invoke cope responses like ‘Art of the deal’, 5D chess, and the like.
This was particularly true in the case of Tim Costello, Peter’s brother, who was the CEO of World Vision in Australia at one stage when he earned over half a million per year and drove a Ferrari. I never gave a cent to them after that.
Good. He should box against other men. But he won’t because he’ll get a good flogging. Just like he’s been handing out to the women he hates and has been getting away with beating them up.
And if he does go up against men, I hope hegoes up against a boxer who has watched him bash the women, and is really pissed off. And I want a ref who will let it go on so that he becomes an object lesson to all the other arseholes who thought they’d found a legal way to take out their hatred of women.
Just told the missus that she is getting a bit fat.
Given that and my responses above to Dover, I think it indicates I’m in a rare good mood for some reason.
Inexplicable.
REP. BOEBERT: FAUCI WAS PERSONALLY INVOLVED IN CRUEL ANIMAL EXPERIMENTS Rep. Boebert exposed shocking testimony that Fauci wasn’t just a bureaucrat—he was personally involved in animal experimentation. A witness testified that virtually no cures came from these cruel experiments, raising serious ethical and scientific concerns about their purpose. Meanwhile, three beagles rescued from Fauci-funded experiments are now in loving homes and served as star witnesses in the Oversight Committee hearing.
Witnesses? LOL how did that go?
PROSECUTOR: Witness K will you now please tell the ladies and gentlemen of the jury how exactly your master Fauci treated you?
Elections soon.
I have seen the portents, run my fingers through the chicken entrails, and made a goats eye stew.
Yep. Elections soon and Anal is stuffed.
You heard it here first.
Labor is putting any new administration into a position where they will have disembowel the bureaucracy and its edicts.
If the edicts aren’t removed, there will be no job creation for the newly unemployed government drones.
So it looks like the two – reducing the bureaucracy and reducing the bureaucratic load – go hand in hand.

The law criminalises urging violence against a group, something you probably were not doing anyway. Where’s the slippery slope?
The amendment adds sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, intersex status, disability to Division 802A(1)(c) Criminal Code Act 1995— increasing the groups of folks who can bring a claim from just religious and racial folk to the trannies and other alphabet weirdos.
In addition the criteria changes from intent to recklessness which is much easier to prove.
Those who write advertising copy have always been the lowest level of the parasitic autonomous complex.

Matildas star Sam Kerr told a court she was treated differently by police “because of the colour of my skin” after “fearing for my life” following an incident with a taxi driver.
She must be very dense going with that sort of defence.
The lawyers she’s engaged have smelt the money and are stringing it out as long as they can.
A better defence would have been to plead guilty, apologise to all concerned, and throw herself on the mercy of the court.
Would have got a 500 pound fine and told to go.
Now she’ll be lucky to be employed by anything outside of a leftie government post.
After being found guilty, which is what will happen.
Five-year-old boy allegedly raped in remote NT communityLiam Mendes
44 minutes ago
A five-year-old boy has allegedly been raped in a remote Northern Territory community this week, triggering calls for greater public disclosure of child sexual abuse in the jurisdiction, as one advocate claims half of the 20 remote communities she visited in 2024 had children as young as five exhibiting “harmful sexual behaviour”.
Multiple sources confirmed to The Australian that a 19-year-old male was arrested and charged following the alleged rape, which occurred at a small community in the northern part of the Territory, near the Gulf of Carpentaria, on Tuesday.
The 19-year-old will face Darwin Local Court on Monday charged with sexual intercourse of a child under 10, following his arrest on Wednesday.
The case led child safety advocates to call for more information to be made public about serious sexual assaults on children to increase awareness of widespread child abuse in the Territory.
The charging of the 19-year-old came within hours of the Prime Minister’s fly-in, fly-out visit to Alice Springs to announce $843m in funding for the Territory.
The funding is set to be delivered over six years to strengthen the delivery of services in remote communities, including policing, women’s safety, alcohol harm reduction and “mediation and peacekeeping activities”.
Anthony Albanese’s visit on Thursday came just over a week after Peter Dutton visited the region, which has been blighted by crime, domestic violence and anti-social behaviour.
Child abuse prevention educator Holly-ann Martin, who has visited 87 remote communities during her 35-year career to provide her abuse preventation education program, said there was an “epidemic” of child sexual abuse and further awareness needed to be drawn to the “nationwide issue”.
“I would have been in at least 20 remote communities last year and at least half of them were because of children exhibiting harmful sexual behaviours,” she said on Friday.
Ms Martin, who was awarded an Order of Australia for her work with children, said these cases had already been reported to authorities, but she was seeing children as young as five who had been exposed to pornographic material and were then going on to act out what they were seeing in pornography on other children.
She said that politicians and senior police were too afraid to speak out about the issues happening across the Territory.
“They (politicians and senior police) just are covering it up,” Ms Martin said.
“We need to shine a light on it so we can protect children.
“If we keep saying ‘nothing to see here’, then children aren’t being protected.
“The government have just announced today all this money for the Northern Territory. There’s money for women, (but) where is the money for abuse prevention for children?”
In October 2023, Mr Albanese refused calls by the Coalition for a royal commission into child sex abuse in Indigenous communities, claiming the opposition was politicising the matter.
Earlier that year, Mr Albanese was forced to reject claims by Mr Dutton that he had failed to act on information that abused children were allegedly being returned to live with their abusers.
“Peter Dutton makes all sorts of claims, and the tragedy here is that serious issues, like the abuse of children, that Peter Dutton or myself or I would hope any member of parliament has a uniform abhorrence of, shouldn’t be used as a political issue,“ Mr Albanese said in April that year.
“Peter Dutton makes all sorts of claims, and the tragedy here is that serious issues, like the abuse of children, that Peter Dutton or myself or I would hope any member of parliament has a uniform abhorrence of, shouldn’t be used as a political issue,“ Mr Albanese said in April that year.
Pontius Pilate.
Albosleazy is not too afraid to make a “political issue” of things that should not concern the government, such as what is said on social media.
If the government cannot act on such an appalling situation who can?
Seems like a lot of money until you remember the ~$35+ BILLiON we already give these communities every year. Why would this extra money make any difference.
Multiple sources confirmed to The Australian that a 19-year-old male was arrested and charged following the alleged rape,
20 lashes with the Rattan cane. In the centre of the town. With all watching. That’ll teach the bastard to keep his dick to himself, and provide a lesson to the rest.
Dover, yesterday you made the claim that Christopher Rufo received USAID money. He’s denied this in a post. Where did you source that claim as it appears to have originated from leftwing sites?
In the face of plummeting EV sales, just saw idiot Bowen saying we need Billions more (of our money) invested in ruinables to meet the demand of the EV “transition” ( to poverty)

This is our authorities’/media’s version of the UK grooming gangs.
It has been happening since the seventies.
In the eighties, it was found that the highest rate of venereal disease in children under the age of ten, Worldwide, was in Aboriginal children.
Cite you the one in Western Australia that decided to become “Dry.” Some douchenozzle decided to run a carload of grog into the community – the women waylaid his car, and smashed the lot.
One might argue that our elites regard these people not as human, but as animals to be herded into fenced paddocks and exploited.
If the powers-that-be perceived remote indigenous Australians as having the same ‘value’ as non-indig Australians, they would act to protect them and advance their well-being. They don’t (value them equally, that is), so they don’t act accordingly.
It’s pure projection: THEY, the ones with all the authority and resources, ACCUSE OTHERS of lesser means, of racism: the belief that one’s racial characteristics make one superior or inferior to another, to divert attention from their measurably expressed belief in the same status stereotype.
One might argue that our elites regard these people not as human, but as animals to be herded into fenced paddocks and exploited.

I’m watching Rowan Dean’s World on Sky News where he is covering all the Hollywood personalities with transgender children. In a couple of decades all of these children will write Mommie Dearest books about being pushed into it by their mothers.
In the past few days, the repellent Jamie Lee Curtis and Cynthia Nixon have both been wailing against Trump over the tranny issue and boasting about their transgender children, as though they are fashion accessories.
So it turns out that dole bludgers are strictly amateurs.
The real steal comes when you form a quango or NGO or wear a religious or charity skin suit and attach yourself to DEI, green washing or refugee advocacy.
Well, well, well welly well well.
Must we continue forever in Australia to imagine what waste and dastardly acts are going on, or will we one day see the light from a DOGE of our own?
Is there anyone in the Australian media landscape even capable of forming the question?
Hello?
Rowan Dean has on 2 global boiling hacks, one from the liars and some bint from the filth. He rips them to shreds but it really worries me that there are still fukwits who believe in this BS and that ruinables work. The filth skank even says the problem is we still have unreliable coal and haven’t moved completely to ruinables. Unreliable coal. FFS these people are stark raving.
Cohenite, 99.9% of the energy debate is propaganda and the news media, having abandoned its commitment to telling the truth, is on the side of the bullshit artists. So 99% of what is trotted out in the Australian media about energy is disinformation.
The news media has become a radical political party — which is why no-one believes it and it is useless as a source of information.
PS: I watched Rowan Dean’s confrontation with the Greenfilth hack and the Liars tool. They were out of their depth.
Yes, and cheaper electrickery was certainly on show.

I think the libs might have a chance in Werribee. It used to be a solidly working class liars seat but there has been a lot of demographic change towards “aspirationals” and home owning families with mortgages. If the libs don’t win they will certainly put a dent in the liars majority. Prahran was a slime seat that became vacant when the incumbent got caught horizontally folk dancing with one of his staffers. The liars aren’t contesting it so it’s between the slime and the SFLs. There are very many minors and “independents” harvesting preferences for the slime however one of them is the former liars member who is popular in the area and is campaigning on an anti-slime ticket.. It’s the sort of area that’s peopled by Gen Z purple haired, pierced, tattooed and ponytail wearing latte drinkers so the slimes will probably claw it back. Someone I know who was handing out SFL HTV cards at a pre-poll booth says the slimers are very aggressive, surrounding voters, yelling at them and trying to stop them taking any other HTV cards. They have had to be thrown out by booth staff for trespassing into the actual voting area.
Thank you. I have a cousin who lives in the electorate of Prahran. She’s a leftist who had formerly voted Green but as she’s Jewish she won’t be voting Green slime tomorrow.

ALPBC showed some of the entries of the Bald Archy awards. Supposedly one of the rules is that the works should be funny not vindictive.
One of the entries was a portrait of Peter Dutton’s head surtitled with the words HEART OF DARKNESS.
That doesn’t look very funny to me. Strange how that one accidentally slipped through the filters of the judging panel, eh?
I’m repeating my suggestion – two cities on the Gaza Strip, chosen at random, and given no warning, join Hiroshima and Nagasaki on a very select list…

This one’s for historical Cats.
So, I’m having an after dinner single malt – or two – on the verandah, and reading Robert Rhodes James’ biography of Anthony Eden.
Regarding the Geneva Conference of 1954 – the one that divided Vietnam into two States – the one that the North Vietnamese tore up, before the ink was even dry – seems the British played a far greater role in said conference then they were ever given credit for.
Rhodes James makes the statement that “What was not know at the time, and not for many years later, was how Anthony Eden had prevented the eruption of a super – Power conflict in South east Asia that could well have involved atomic weapons.”
Senator John Kennedy on Elon Musk and DOGE exposing USAID, “I’ll tell you what Mr. Musk discovered. I find it fascinating. He discovered:
– The American taxpayers are giving money to Afghanistan – He found that we are giving money to Yemen – He found that we are giving money to Syria – He found that the USAID has 10,000 people employees, and every year they give away $40 billion – He found that the USAID gave money to support electric vehicles in Vietnam. Our money, taxpayer money – He found that the USAID gave money to a transgender clinic in India. “I didn’t know that. I bet you the American people didn’t know that” – He found that USAID gave $1.5 million to a Serbian LGBTQ group, they got $1.5 million to QUOTE, “advanced diversity, equity, inclusion in Serbia’s workplaces and business communities” – They found that USAID spent $164 million to support radical organizations around the world – They gave $122 million of that to groups aligned with foreign terrorist organizations – According to this report in Mr. Musk, the USAID has given millions of dollars to quote organizations in Gaza controlled by Hamas – He found that we gave $2 million, USAID did, for sex changes in Guatemala – He found that we gave $20 million to produce a new Sesame Street show in Iraq – He found that we gave $4.5 million of taxpayer money to combat misinformation in Kazakhstan – He found that we gave $10 million, USAID did, of meals to an al-Qaeda-linked terrorist group called the Nusra Front – Mr. Musk found that we gave $7.9 million of taxpayer money to a project that would teach Sri Lankan journalists to avoid binary gendered language. (The USAID took 8 million bucks and gave it to a bunch of journalists in Sri Lanka to teach them how to avoid binary gendered language) – USAID gave $1.5 million to promote LGBT advocacy in Jamaica – They gave $1.5 million to rebuild the Cuban media ecosystem – They gave $1.5 million for quote, art for inclusion of people with disabilities in Belarus – Another $3.9 million for LGBT causes in Macedonia – $8.3 million for equity and inclusion education in Nepal
“I could go all night and many of my colleagues are upset. They’re really mad at Mr. Musk. Hell, I think we ought to give him a medal”

This man had the gall to say recently that “there is no place in the ADF for exceptionalism” !!!!!
And what were our recipients of the Victoria Cross, if not “exceptional” ??
Just another canbra pube with a uniform
Half a billion USD to Tel Aviv University via USAID. 300M to the arts in Canada. Soft power doesn’t come cheap.
Trump has found a whole new world of leverage he can manipulate, besides tariffs.
When I were a pup I thought that family, name of Smith, must have had something wrong with them that they were so frickin’ destitute and needy.
Today I have just seen an ad for The Smith Family declaring that one in six Australian kids grow up in poverty.
Of course in Australia poverty is a statistical artefact – we could be nation of millionaires and the lower tier of millionaires would be povvoes.
But the ads are brilliant. Little Dickensian urchins turning up at school in ill-fitting school uniforms, broken in spirit, snared at the school entrance like a rag on a twig in a flood.
Sod that.
One more indulgent pint of Guinness will deal with that guilt.
Yeah, it’s bullshit.
I gave out a metric tonne of exercise books and pens bought with my own money to povo kids over the years.
Some of them (most of them) you had to take the book and pen off them at the end of the lesson, keep it at your desk until the next lesson, otherwise it would simply disappear.
The problem isn’t that they don’t get stuff, the problem is they have zero interest in keeping it or using it for what it is meant for.
But I had to do that if I wanted a record of what I could get them to do in class.
This idea that there is some group of little urchins who will be ever so grateful that someone finally gave them some stationary!
It’s deluded horseshit.
I still remember in 4th or fifth class, being given an exercise book by a teacher. I know it sounds odd, but I was overwhelmed by her generosity. A whole 48 page exercise book for me!
“Thank you very much!” said the young Winston, and she looked at me funny. Perhaps I surprised her with my gratitude, or perhaps she wasn’t used to someone saying ‘thank you’.
Odd the things you remember.
Place I worked in 79 was just around the corner from them. Our boss used to go right off. Look at those bastards crying poor with a carpark full of Mercedes.
Daughter doing Uni for a K-2 Education degree. (in 90s) Sent to a local school for prac. Had to give starving children breakfast. Mothers had coffee and packets of ciggies at front gate. Disgusting.
Kids went to a well regarded Govt. Primary School in a “ Good” area.
Sought after as a cheaper alternative to a private college for many families until their kids could join a college at Middle School level.
Wife came to know many on the school staff – told a surprising number of parents never paid the modest school charges.
Often the ones with the new Euro SUV whose kids went to College later.
I don’t mind people doing well – but jeez guys, a bit of noblesse oblige at the very least.
Notice how all the neglected waifs are white as ?
And all the prosperous busy middle class families in ad-land have at least one golden brown fuzzy haired member?
Safest strategy.

Three billion Dollars of NGO funding ended on February 2nd, 2025. The survivors of the Nerdlear fire called the war Dogement Day. They lived only to face a new nightmare: the war against the Auditors. The computer which controlled the machines, Elonnet, sent two Auditors back through accounts. Their mission: to destroy the leader of the deep state resistance, Deep State, my son. The first Auditor was programmed to strike at me in the year 1981, before Deep State was born. It failed. The second was set to strike at the Deep State Itself when it lost an election. As before, the resistance was able to send a Hawaiian Judge, a protector for Deep State. It was just a question of which one of them would Audit him first.

Systems don’t “deteriorate” in 2 weeks (unless of course, there was deliberate nobbling, which is something else altogether).
NOTAM is an acronym meaning “Notice to Airmen“, a term which I am surprised has survived the era of DEI.
These are temporary addenda to fixed aviation rules, regulations and designations.
Example. A NOTAM might be issued to temporarily restrict airspace for, say, a military exercise, or a Presidential visit, or a runway closure for maintenance, which is otherwise shown as accessible on permanent charts.
The point is, you don’t need to know a lot about aviation to work on the NOTAM system (the recording and distribution, not the drafting of content). It is basically a documentation system which needs to be robust, redundant and tightly controlled.
PS.
If I was Killary, I’d assiduously avoid making any comment on anything to do with compudas.

I’m surprised she hasn’t decamped to a country with no extradition agreement with the US to be honest. I mean, there’s bound to be tens of millions of USAID money been gifted to the Clinton Foundation you would guess.
This is beautiful to watch.
If systems deteriorated like that in two weeks and as we know it’s not linear, meaning within two months air travel will be banned in the US.

Taipei I walked off into Airport 77… Felt that way anyway.
Airframes though. Shudder, glad I was mildy inebriated. The B747 to BKK had broken toilets, fittings and made noise ss I’ve never heard that aircraft type make. Even had what looked like JAL logos on some stuff too.
Try United. Arrogant, near retirement, old staff. Throw the shit food at you. Packed. In 40 years of flying, the worst.
I wonder how many Dem voting semi- normies will be waking up now with realisation that the Billion$ in Treasury disbursements they fund are being so horribly squandered and used vindictively against them.

I notice adverts on TeeVee from “Farmers for Climate Action” with the mouthpiece being, of course, a farmer with turbines on his property.
The punchline … “Farmers should decide what to do with their land”.
He doesn’t mention he is part of a cartel which would happily compulsorily acquire other people’s land for transmission and distribution.
I hope he enjoys every dollar he spends retiring the things once they’re obsolete.
And if he thinks his property is worth more because “improvements”, I have a bridge to sell him.
Soon…very, very soon…the screams will be heard on Mars. Hasten the day.
Every once in a while there are reports that the entire carbon credit/trading thing is a scam. Mafia ridden worthless market. Yet nothing is done. Because climate. Its as if the world has given up on Legal rights, and economics.
Notice to Airmen didn’t survive DEI in the US. Renamed Notice To Air Missions a couple of years ago to be less sexist or some such blather.
I can imagine the meetings which would have gone on around that.
Gluten free banana bread I expect.

Yes, but it’s different when they do it.

Only in the Territory:
A drunk man who hitched a ride on a moving bus was unable to keep a firm grip because he was holding a bottle of rum in one hand, the coroner has found.
In light of a horror 2024 on Territory roadswhere 60 people lost their lives, NT Coroner Elisabeth Armitage said she would publish “anonymised findings” concerning all the road deaths.
She made the comment in the first of the released findings, published on Wednesday, which examined why a 37-year-old man was found dead on the side of the Stuart Hwy on March 19, 2024.
She determined the man’s cause of death to be from blunt force trauma when falling from the trailer of a Greyhound bus while under the influence of alcohol.
“He was run over by the wheels of the trailer and came to rest, concealed by long grass, in a spoon drain,” she said in her findings.
On the night of his death, Ms Armitage said the man – who was not on the banned drinkers register – was out drinking with friends, travelling between Devils Marbles hotel, Tennant Creek, and their home community.
After drinking for a number of hours, when travelling back to their home community, the blue Ford Falcon they were driving became bogged on the side of the Stuart Hwy, Ms Armitage said.
The passengers flagged down a passing Greyhound bus at 2.55am, who stopped and agreed to take two “of the more sober and less aggressive” passengers to the nearest roadhouse to get help, Ms Armitage said.
Ms Armitage said it was at this time the 37-year-old tried to stowaway on the trailer by sitting on the drawbar, however, two of his friends pulled him off.
“However, as the coach pulled away, he climbed back on. He cannot have had a firm grip because in one hand he was holding a bottle of rum. Unsurprisingly, but tragically for his family and community, he fell from the drawbar after travelling on it for 10 minutes and 45 seconds,” her findings said.
“No fault is attributed to the driver or co-driver as neither knew that the deceased had hitched a ride, he ultimately climbed onto the drawbar just as the coach was ready to depart, and the drawbar was hidden from their view.”
The bus driver did not a “live view” of CCTV footage on the rear of the bus, Ms Armitage said.
Before becoming bogged, Ms Armitage said two bottles of rum were consumed on the drive down by the group, during which the deceased was sitting “unrestrained” on the centre console.
Toxicological analysis found the man had a blood-alcohol level of 0.23 per cent.
He was found about 25km north of Devils Marbles.
Family members who had not seen him for days found him when they were conducting their own search for him, Ms Armitage said in her findings.
“It is hoped that by making findings about the circumstances of these deaths public, this will improve individual and agency awareness as to the causes of road fatalities, with the ultimate objective of saving lives and reducing the road death toll in the future,” Ms Armitage said.

Little evidence of that at the minute.
I speculated last year that at some point you would have to choose between Trump ascendant and the poisonous crap you have been imbibing from Russian and Chinese channels.
Looks like we can see which fork you have gone down.
Can’t be too long before you are openly anti Trump.
I’ll make a further prediction: you will become increasingly bitter and hysterical as Trump reshapes the world.
I’m giving Trump space. He’s still in the first month and his exposure of USAID as one of the principle spigots of the GAE has been very good. The most important move so far; nothing else is close.
But I will call out dumb or counter-productive moves, especially one’s that typically invoke cope responses like ‘Art of the deal’, 5D chess, and the like.
Heh, other than that everyone is falling over themselves to kiss his ring.
What do you know? Just like “climate change”.
“Foreign Aid” Enriches the Rich While Impoverishing the Impoverished
It has been said that charity is poor people in rich countries giving money to rich people in poor countries.
I would qualify that by saying often it fraudulently (and unknown to the donor) ends up with rich people in his own country.
This was particularly true in the case of Tim Costello, Peter’s brother, who was the CEO of World Vision in Australia at one stage when he earned over half a million per year and drove a Ferrari. I never gave a cent to them after that.

And if he does go up against men, I hope hegoes up against a boxer who has watched him bash the women, and is really pissed off. And I want a ref who will let it go on so that he becomes an object lesson to all the other arseholes who thought they’d found a legal way to take out their hatred of women.

The law criminalises urging violence against a group, something you probably were not doing anyway. Where’s the slippery slope?
The amendment adds sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, intersex status, disability to Division 802A(1)(c) Criminal Code Act 1995— increasing the groups of folks who can bring a claim from just religious and racial folk to the trannies and other alphabet weirdos.
In addition the criteria changes from intent to recklessness which is much easier to prove.

Matildas star Sam Kerr told a court she was treated differently by police “because of the colour of my skin” after “fearing for my life” following an incident with a taxi driver.

A better defence would have been to plead guilty, apologise to all concerned, and throw herself on the mercy of the court.

Five-year-old boy allegedly raped in remote NT communityLiam Mendes
44 minutes ago
A five-year-old boy has allegedly been raped in a remote Northern Territory community this week, triggering calls for greater public disclosure of child sexual abuse in the jurisdiction, as one advocate claims half of the 20 remote communities she visited in 2024 had children as young as five exhibiting “harmful sexual behaviour”.
Multiple sources confirmed to The Australian that a 19-year-old male was arrested and charged following the alleged rape, which occurred at a small community in the northern part of the Territory, near the Gulf of Carpentaria, on Tuesday.
The 19-year-old will face Darwin Local Court on Monday charged with sexual intercourse of a child under 10, following his arrest on Wednesday.
The case led child safety advocates to call for more information to be made public about serious sexual assaults on children to increase awareness of widespread child abuse in the Territory.
The charging of the 19-year-old came within hours of the Prime Minister’s fly-in, fly-out visit to Alice Springs to announce $843m in funding for the Territory.
The funding is set to be delivered over six years to strengthen the delivery of services in remote communities, including policing, women’s safety, alcohol harm reduction and “mediation and peacekeeping activities”.
Anthony Albanese’s visit on Thursday came just over a week after Peter Dutton visited the region, which has been blighted by crime, domestic violence and anti-social behaviour.
Child abuse prevention educator Holly-ann Martin, who has visited 87 remote communities during her 35-year career to provide her abuse preventation education program, said there was an “epidemic” of child sexual abuse and further awareness needed to be drawn to the “nationwide issue”.
“I would have been in at least 20 remote communities last year and at least half of them were because of children exhibiting harmful sexual behaviours,” she said on Friday.
Ms Martin, who was awarded an Order of Australia for her work with children, said these cases had already been reported to authorities, but she was seeing children as young as five who had been exposed to pornographic material and were then going on to act out what they were seeing in pornography on other children.
She said that politicians and senior police were too afraid to speak out about the issues happening across the Territory.
“They (politicians and senior police) just are covering it up,” Ms Martin said.
“We need to shine a light on it so we can protect children.
“If we keep saying ‘nothing to see here’, then children aren’t being protected.
“The government have just announced today all this money for the Northern Territory. There’s money for women, (but) where is the money for abuse prevention for children?”
In October 2023, Mr Albanese refused calls by the Coalition for a royal commission into child sex abuse in Indigenous communities, claiming the opposition was politicising the matter.
Earlier that year, Mr Albanese was forced to reject claims by Mr Dutton that he had failed to act on information that abused children were allegedly being returned to live with their abusers.
“Peter Dutton makes all sorts of claims, and the tragedy here is that serious issues, like the abuse of children, that Peter Dutton or myself or I would hope any member of parliament has a uniform abhorrence of, shouldn’t be used as a political issue,“ Mr Albanese said in April that year.
Pontius Pilate.
Albosleazy is not too afraid to make a “political issue” of things that should not concern the government, such as what is said on social media.
If the government cannot act on such an appalling situation who can?
Gutless worm.
Seems like a lot of money until you remember the ~$35+ BILLiON we already give these communities every year. Why would this extra money make any difference.

That’ll teach the bastard to keep his dick to himself, and provide a lesson to the rest.
Dover, yesterday you made the claim that Christopher Rufo received USAID money. He’s denied this in a post. Where did you source that claim as it appears to have originated from leftwing sites?

In the face of plummeting EV sales, just saw idiot Bowen saying we need Billions more (of our money) invested in ruinables to meet the demand of the EV “transition” ( to poverty)
Huh? The clown was about as convincing as a fence post.
Just say to Blackout Bowen the words – “Green Hydrogen” and get the “Greens” to help him out.
This is our authorities’/media’s version of the UK grooming gangs.
Look the other way because racism!
It has been happening since the seventies.
In the eighties, it was found that the highest rate of venereal disease in children under the age of ten, Worldwide, was in Aboriginal children.
And it’s worse than is reported. Anyone who’s worked in the area with the indigenous can speak to that.
100% true. Nothing done. Because “indigenous”.
Close them down.
Cite you the one in Western Australia that decided to become “Dry.” Some douchenozzle decided to run a carload of grog into the community – the women waylaid his car, and smashed the lot.
One might argue that our elites regard these people not as human, but as animals to be herded into fenced paddocks and exploited.
If the powers-that-be perceived remote indigenous Australians as having the same ‘value’ as non-indig Australians, they would act to protect them and advance their well-being. They don’t (value them equally, that is), so they don’t act accordingly.
It’s pure projection: THEY, the ones with all the authority and resources, ACCUSE OTHERS of lesser means, of racism: the belief that one’s racial characteristics make one superior or inferior to another, to divert attention from their measurably expressed belief in the same status stereotype.
One might argue that our elites regard these people not as human, but as animals to be herded into fenced paddocks and exploited.
Our wise rulers regard all of us that way.
I’m watching Rowan Dean’s World on Sky News where he is covering all the Hollywood personalities with transgender children. In a couple of decades all of these children will write Mommie Dearest books about being pushed into it by their mothers.
In the past few days, the repellent Jamie Lee Curtis and Cynthia Nixon have both been wailing against Trump over the tranny issue and boasting about their transgender children, as though they are fashion accessories.
Saw that. Jamie Lee Curtis in hysterics.
Hot tip…read someone else’s lines. Don’t ad lib your own. You’re just not that smart.
Lay off Jamie.
He’s a good bloke.
As I have said before, how could parents like Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh have a very mannish daughter like her?
Julia Gillards Parents thought the same.
She looked like a Hot Lady in “A Fish Called Wanda”.
And true lies.
Come to think of it, the rear view might have been a body double.
Never found her the least bit attractive.
There is a very good saying – “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”.
…or they will remember who did these foul deeds to them, where they live, and where they work.
And they will exact an unholy revenge.
And no court will find them guilty.
hahah. The Frenchies really saw her coming. 😀

What a word.
Albo & co will be peppering every speech about Dutton with it in light of his legal troubles with the weird beards.
So it turns out that dole bludgers are strictly amateurs.
The real steal comes when you form a quango or NGO or wear a religious or charity skin suit and attach yourself to DEI, green washing or refugee advocacy.
Well, well, well welly well well.
Must we continue forever in Australia to imagine what waste and dastardly acts are going on, or will we one day see the light from a DOGE of our own?
Is there anyone in the Australian media landscape even capable of forming the question?
Hello?
Rowan Dean has on 2 global boiling hacks, one from the liars and some bint from the filth. He rips them to shreds but it really worries me that there are still fukwits who believe in this BS and that ruinables work. The filth skank even says the problem is we still have unreliable coal and haven’t moved completely to ruinables. Unreliable coal. FFS these people are stark raving.
Cohenite, 99.9% of the energy debate is propaganda and the news media, having abandoned its commitment to telling the truth, is on the side of the bullshit artists. So 99% of what is trotted out in the Australian media about energy is disinformation.
The news media has become a radical political party — which is why no-one believes it and it is useless as a source of information.
PS: I watched Rowan Dean’s confrontation with the Greenfilth hack and the Liars tool. They were out of their depth.
Yes, and cheaper electrickery was certainly on show.
The execs are on good money, sure, but nobody is making a profit.
The easy money in Oz is in daycare centres & the NDIS.
And consulting to the government, of course.

No wonder he hates Trump. And the last thing he gives AF about are Australians.
Howard, Rudd, Gillard, Abbott, Turnbull, ScoMo are all on the payroll of institutes that took USAID money.
Poor old Albo…no wonder he was so snippy this week with the journos.

Can Kevin’s DC career stand any more black marks?
A million bucks marked as ‘compensation’. Are we to take this as a salary/stipend paid to him, for the yr 2022?
I haven’t listened to AC/DC in years simply because of saturation on the radio, which I stopped tuning into years ago now.
This live version is new to me and a absolute banger. Audio is top notch.

Jamie Lee Curtis has a ‘trans’ child, as does Cher, Charlize Theron, Naomi Watts, Warren Beatty, Sigourney Weaver and others.
The kids are all f*cked in the head, just like their parents. It’s why it’s called ‘Hollyweird’.
As do Jennifer Garner (a shame as I had previously really liked her; but no more) and Ben Affleck (who I always thought was very iffy).
Some Hollywood actresses act as though their trans child is a fashion accessory.
As Matt Walsh says, transgenderism is a “social contagion.”
I feel sorry for Elon Musk, as he said, “I’ve lost a son to transgenderism.”
I may not be representative (we’ll leave that up to others) but two of my friends have trans kids, one M to F, one F to M. Only one of the parents is an academic if that helps.
Joe and Jill Biden have a Crack Head of an alleged son.

thanks Cali.

i can’t help but think the babies are Caucasian and it’s a deliberate act.
Deaths in hospitals attract attention and if one nurse was the common demoninator for 7 deaths there is something wrong here.
looking forward to comments.
I may be over sensitive about such matters in todays environment.
Depends. My SiL has probably lost more than that. But she is a specialist nurse on premmie babies. Some of which are very premmie and have a laundry list of problems.

Hey Vic Cats, any thoughts on the two by-elections tomorrow?
I think the libs might have a chance in Werribee. It used to be a solidly working class liars seat but there has been a lot of demographic change towards “aspirationals” and home owning families with mortgages. If the libs don’t win they will certainly put a dent in the liars majority. Prahran was a slime seat that became vacant when the incumbent got caught horizontally folk dancing with one of his staffers. The liars aren’t contesting it so it’s between the slime and the SFLs. There are very many minors and “independents” harvesting preferences for the slime however one of them is the former liars member who is popular in the area and is campaigning on an anti-slime ticket.. It’s the sort of area that’s peopled by Gen Z purple haired, pierced, tattooed and ponytail wearing latte drinkers so the slimes will probably claw it back. Someone I know who was handing out SFL HTV cards at a pre-poll booth says the slimers are very aggressive, surrounding voters, yelling at them and trying to stop them taking any other HTV cards. They have had to be thrown out by booth staff for trespassing into the actual voting area.
It will be an interesting night!
Thank you. I have a cousin who lives in the electorate of Prahran. She’s a leftist who had formerly voted Green but as she’s Jewish she won’t be voting Green slime tomorrow.
ALPBC showed some of the entries of the Bald Archy awards. Supposedly one of the rules is that the works should be funny not vindictive.
One of the entries was a portrait of Peter Dutton’s head surtitled with the words HEART OF DARKNESS.
That doesn’t look very funny to me. Strange how that one accidentally slipped through the filters of the judging panel, eh?
The first person to stop laughing will be executed?
I swa the Jamie Lee Curtis interview. She needs a lot of help. Her kid is fine, but she is either nuts or is on something.
Nuts?
nuts are involved, I think.

Yep, I would urge everyone to read it.
I’m repeating my suggestion – two cities on the Gaza Strip, chosen at random, and given no warning, join Hiroshima and Nagasaki on a very select list…
This one’s for historical Cats.
So, I’m having an after dinner single malt – or two – on the verandah, and reading Robert Rhodes James’ biography of Anthony Eden.
Regarding the Geneva Conference of 1954 – the one that divided Vietnam into two States – the one that the North Vietnamese tore up, before the ink was even dry – seems the British played a far greater role in said conference then they were ever given credit for.
Rhodes James makes the statement that “What was not know at the time, and not for many years later, was how Anthony Eden had prevented the eruption of a super – Power conflict in South east Asia that could well have involved atomic weapons.”
Any historical Cats ever heard of this one?
Sorry. That era is not my forte, despite an interest having been kindled by Dr. Moyar.
Mark Moyar makes damnfine reading, indeed.

Ready to have your mind blown?
Senator John Kennedy on Elon Musk and DOGE exposing USAID, “I’ll tell you what Mr. Musk discovered. I find it fascinating. He discovered:
– The American taxpayers are giving money to Afghanistan
– He found that we are giving money to Yemen
– He found that we are giving money to Syria
– He found that the USAID has 10,000 people employees, and every year they give away $40 billion
– He found that the USAID gave money to support electric vehicles in Vietnam. Our money, taxpayer money
– He found that the USAID gave money to a transgender clinic in India. “I didn’t know that. I bet you the American people didn’t know that”
– He found that USAID gave $1.5 million to a Serbian LGBTQ group, they got $1.5 million to QUOTE, “advanced diversity, equity, inclusion in Serbia’s workplaces and business communities”
– They found that USAID spent $164 million to support radical organizations around the world
– They gave $122 million of that to groups aligned with foreign terrorist organizations
– According to this report in Mr. Musk, the USAID has given millions of dollars to quote organizations in Gaza controlled by Hamas
– He found that we gave $2 million, USAID did, for sex changes in Guatemala
– He found that we gave $20 million to produce a new Sesame Street show in Iraq
– He found that we gave $4.5 million of taxpayer money to combat misinformation in Kazakhstan
– He found that we gave $10 million, USAID did, of meals to an al-Qaeda-linked terrorist group called the Nusra Front
– Mr. Musk found that we gave $7.9 million of taxpayer money to a project that would teach Sri Lankan journalists to avoid binary gendered language. (The USAID took 8 million bucks and gave it to a bunch of journalists in Sri Lanka to teach them how to avoid binary gendered language)
– USAID gave $1.5 million to promote LGBT advocacy in Jamaica
– They gave $1.5 million to rebuild the Cuban media ecosystem
– They gave $1.5 million for quote, art for inclusion of people with disabilities in Belarus
– Another $3.9 million for LGBT causes in Macedonia
– $8.3 million for equity and inclusion education in Nepal
“I could go all night and many of my colleagues are upset. They’re really mad at Mr. Musk. Hell, I think we ought to give him a medal”
How many of those organisations, NGO’s and “causes” are Soros fronts and Clinton Foundation pop ups?
And simple money laundering, with ten or more percent for the DemonRats?
That seems to be standard Liars operation.
