    Whoah.

    Redland City Mayor Karen Williams has been issued a notice to appear for drink driving after she recorded a blood alcohol reading of .177 – more than three times the legal limit.

    Ms Williams lost control of her vehicle at the intersection of Queen and Wellington Streets, Cleveland on June 23, where she mounted a footpath and crashed through a fence into a tree following a budget ‘after party’.

    Ms Williams is, in all probability, an alcoholic. A really bad type

    Halifax can ….. Go to Halifax

    Just closed my Halifax account.
    They can stick their pronouns up their/his/her a**e. ‘:

    – Halifax is losing customers after social media team told them to leave if they don’t like pronouns on badges

    – Bank posted a badge of employee called Gemma which read ‘she/her/hers’ and added: ‘Pronouns matter’

    – Customers replied to accuse the bank of ‘pathetic virtue signalling’ and ‘alienating’ many customers

    – Within minutes Andy M, a member of the social media team, said ‘You’re welcome to close your account’

    Snake Oil:
    the most vaxxed country in Europe now has its worst COVID outcomes

    Virtually every single adult in Portugal has taken at least two doses of “miracle cure” COVID vaccine, with the vast majority “boosted” as well. Yet this month, the most vaxxed country in Europe has consistently reported its worst outcomes.

    Stephen Miller: This administration believes in suppressing citizens

    The point that he makes about the need for a Conservative majority to push back against the woke is correct.

    In the Weekend Oz, Dutton has plans to steer the Libs in the right direction. But he seems to be reluctant to use the label “Conservatives” to define the party. Instead he is saying that the party is neither conservative or progressive but has liberal values.

    It is paywalled – so anyone with access may be able to share it here.

    School reform a Dutton priority

    Peter Dutton will target education as a key political battleground, calling for a debate over the curriculum that he says is at risk of being hijacked by ¬unions and activists.

    There is ugliness in the present world but a great deal of human goodness too.

    A story from another blog.

    The mystery has been solved.

    About a month or so ago someone had left some potted vegetable plants on my front porch. The few people that I thought it may be that did it, said it wasn’t them.

    Last night a young man and his son came to my front door to thank me and wish me a happy Fathers Day and he brought us some produce that he grew. It was he that left the plants on my porch.

    A couple months ago I took a day off from work to finish up a project I had started the day before. While working on it I caught an unusual movement out of the corner of my eye. When I seen what it was I stopped what I was doing and ran after a toddler that was running down the middle of the street heading toward a fast driving country road with traffic on it. The toddler was barefoot, half naked, upset and crying. I sat with the kid at the front of my driveway waiting for a parent to come and find the kid. The postman came by to deliver mail and I asked her if she’s seen this kid on her rout, she hadn’t. She did have an app on her phone that found where the kid lived and it was local. I asked her to let the kids parents know that I have their son and he’s safe and to come and pick him up.

    The father came and got him. He said that mom had just started a new job after having a period of maternity leave from their newest child. The young family is a farm family and dad was busy with feeding their youngest when the toddler took off. The kid was upset and was trying to find his mom. I told the dad that the police were not called and that child services were not called.

    The young man gave us the potted plants from his farm’s greenhouse and the produce he gave us came from his farm. I told him it was very much appreciated but was absolutely not necessary. I already had my reward by being there to help and that to give god the thanks for placing me in the right place at the right time.

    The Mockictionary has now been promoted.

    On the sidebar, it has moved up several rungs to sit above the CatWiki.
    It has also secured a position on the main menu bar. It is now placed between The Catictionary and CatWiki.

    FFS! The ugly pig, Pallachook, needs a distraction. No doubt all the breaky TV watchers will happily comply. How can anyone still have a aerial connection plugged into their monitors? It just boggles the mind.

    🐑

    Just pull the plug out! It is not that hard. I have a close friend of mine that finally had a child. It took many attempts with his wife; age being a factor. He still wears a mask when going to the supermarket and no doubt he will blindly follow “health advice” and get his kid jabbed.

    I predict the end of our friendship when I tell him he is f******g mad!

    I wonder if friendlyjordies will take on Tony Heller?

    🤣

    Give it your best shot you pathetic piece of goo. FJ’s thinks he is on the ball….tells us about renewables you Labor supporting hack…the Libs are in the same boat with the equally moronic Greens.

    Do it! Doooooo it!

    Attack Heller, FJ’s.

    I do not think he has the balls. I reckon he is shit scared to go down that path. He will get a proverbial flogging.

    Fj’s fan base seems to be ABC fans. Filth of the EARTH.
