Mum has had none, like me. I’ll heed the advice from calli and jo and just let it play out and zip my lip. The thing is, dad is in the East, me on the West coast.
Avoiding the conversation will be difficult.
Steve,
I am glad you have arrived at the decision with the help of advice from calli and johanna.
Adding my suggestion here. You have done your best to educate your dad. You can’t do anymore. It is affecting your health – the psychological will have an impact on the physical.
For your own well-being, adopt the Agree to Disagree motto. Keep off this topic when you interact with your dad. You can let him know that you respect his decision and you hope he respects yours, and that you would like to leave it at that.
When you speak to him, talk about neutral subjects. That way, you can maintain a friendly relationship with him. If, and when, it reaches a stage where he realises the truth, he’ll feel comfortable talking to you about it.
Nelson has a point, too. We have to select the battles worth fighting.
Peter Thiel, the tech investor and conservative provocateur who has advised Mark Zuckerberg for nearly two decades at Facebook parent Meta Platforms, will step down from the company’s board after Meta’s annual shareholder meeting in May.
There is something in that story that doesn’t seem right to me.
Thiel is a Trump supporter but was able to spend two decades working with and advising Zuckerberg?
“In March, I got the J&J vaccine. I got it because I work with babies in the nursery – I volunteer there – and I also babysit, so I’m around babies all the time. It’s what I do. I didn’t want to put the babies in danger,” Burkey admits.
The beach-loving grad says she chose J&J because it was only a one-shot dose vaccine.
Soon, she began experiencing fevers and vomiting, which doctors reportedly dismissed as normal.
On April 2, Burkey says she had a terrible headache that “felt like my head was vibrating.”
Burkey next began experiencing involuntary neck movements and throwing up blood.
She was then transported to a hospital with EMS workers believing she was suffering a seizure, but doctors later learned she was experiencing bleeding within the brain due to a stroke.
After three brain surgeries, four strokes, intubation and a tracheostomy, Emma was miraculously able to make a comeback and is slowly re-learning how to walk with help from her parents.
“I had brain bleeds and blood clots that the Johnson and Johnson vaccine caused,” Emma says. “I love babies and Johnson and Johnson was the baby company… pretty much anybody who has a baby has used a Johnson and Johnson product.”
“If I had known that this could have happened to me I wouldn’t have done it,” she says, adding, “and they want people to keep getting it.”
Now her family is facing the challenge of helping Emma deal with her new affliction and paying her mounting medical bills.
Well, team, the party won’t have business cards, flyers or Farceboook accounts for us for another few weeks, so I’m prepping to go join the Canberra protest in the interim.

Sky News host Andrew Bolt has declared Peter Dutton should “get ready to lead” because Scott Morrison’s desperate hair-washing stunts make him look like a loser.
While it’s too early to write him off, the columnist has savaged the performance of the Prime Minister in an opinion piece for the Herald Sun that is being widely shared and discussed by Liberal MPs arriving in Canberra for the first sitting week of the year.
“Peter Dutton, get ready to lead. Prime Minister Scott Morrison looks finished, and is now making a fool of himself to get some love,” Bolt wrote.
“Stinking in the polls, called a liar by his own deputy, and mocked as out of touch for not knowing the price of bread, Morrison on Friday hit back. He called in at a Melbourne hairdresser’s and … washed a woman’s hair.”
If and when the Prime Minister departs the top job, Bolt said that it was Defence Minister Peter Dutton who was the best option.
“Dutton must be the Liberals’ next leader, at least if Morrison falls before the election. He is an instantly known quantity. Instantly dangerous,” he said.
You’d have to wonder that PM Morrison apologising to the lass Brittany is saying the chap involved is guilty.
How else could you look at it from a legal perspective? From the PM himself and who is involved in any enquiries in the matter must make it pretty clear that Scott Morrison feels the man accused of rape is guilty and he was stating his opinion in parliament?
How do these sort of legal things work?

‘Victoria Police is assessing pictures of Coalition MPs who appear to be breaching covid regulations by not wearing masks inside parliament.
State Liberal and National MPs attended a speech by Essendon great Kevin Sheedy on Tuesday morning inside parliamentary rooms on Spring Street.
But not long after, the party began circulating images of the event online which showed Opposition leader Matthew Guy and his colleagues posing for photos without wearing masks.
It is not yet known if this was a breach of covid guidelines but police are now looking at the images and will decide whether to take further action.
“Victoria Police is currently assessing images circulating on social media of MPs without a mask on in Parliament on 8th of February,” a spokesman said. “We will not be providing further comment at this stage.”‘
And the first few paragraphs of cover report on the Weekly Times:
‘The State Government has told VicForests to back off taking legal action to recover $2m in taxpayer funds from the anti-logging group My Environment.
The move has led the timber industry and Opposition to accuse the Labor Government of going soft on environmental activists as it prepares to battle the Greens in key inner city seats at November’s state election.
The Weekly Times can also reveal Labor loyalists have been appointed to departmental positions overseeing forestry policy, with one recently pre-selected in the key electorate of Preston.’
It’s like they are going the Biden route and persecuting political enemies. Baseball bats with spikes should be awaiting Labor in November, but can’t see any blows from Guy coming forth. Get to it now Guy 🤦♂️🤬
National Press Club Address Grace Tame and Brittany Higgins
11:30AM – 12:35PM

A driver was stuck in a traffic jam on the highway outside Canberra. Nothing was moving.
Suddenly, a man knocks on the window. The driver rolls down the window and asks, “What’s going on?”
“Terrorists have kidnapped the entire Australian Parliament , and they’re asking for 100 million dollar ransom. Otherwise, they are going to douse them all in gasoline and set them on fire.
“We’re going from car to car, collecting donations”
The driver asks “How much is everyone giving?”
The man replies, “Roughly a gallon”
It gets better, Black Ball. The corruption machine in Victoria just keeps on truckin.
Victoria Police told barrister Nicola Gobbo they would pay for her to flee overseas, including to a country without extradition treaties with Australia, so she could avoid criminal investigation or prosecution into her work as a police informer.
Any criminal prosecution of Ms Gobbo would likely reveal evidence that Victoria Police would find embarrassing, or expose police members themselves to prosecution.
As we know from experience, if the top dont give a flying root about doing the wrong thing, there would be at least a hundred more waiting for a go after a midnight meeting at the deserted crossroads.
Victoria- The most ameniable city, where anyone can stab you in the back
I just managed to catch a few minutes of an all-in-white virginal Ms Higgins and a very uncomfortable looking Ms Tame. On 20 & 24 so able to switch between speeches and questions. Speeches clearly written by others. Only angry lessbian journos asking questions.
Give it a few minutes if you want to risk a stroke.
Tame has the AOC disease. Thinks she is the most fuckable woman in the country, therefore, everyone hates her because they can’t get a slice of that sweet cherry pie.
Places where this takes place. Inside her head. That is all.
mh, GT became AOTY for her advocacy for victims of CSA. She was groomed/seduced/assaulted/raped by a teacher over quite some time. She reported it, he went to jail. However she had suffered CSA earlier in her life and this doesn’t get covered. In her teens she was clearly showing early signs of borderline personality disorder with an eating disorder and the proverbial MH problems. She hasn’t actually done or achieved anything other than become a poster girl for the misandrists and girlymen.
She’s at the National Press Club, arm in a sling from a bicycle accident, making her speech but is clearly out of sorts. As people with BPD are strongly inclined to self harm, often inflicting cuts to their arms, we should keep our minds open because the press are just dishonest. Soon to be discarded as will Brittney.
