    Air Force Accused of Lowering Standards for Elite Unit to Accommodate Female Candidate

    The U.S. Air Force acknowledged it changed the “norms” on how a candidate advances through its elite Special Tactics training pipeline after an anonymous service member accused the military branch of making special accommodations to advance a female trainee who failed to meet the program’s rigorous physical standards.

    Typically a candidate who quits the training program is reassigned to his or her previous duty, but that wasn’t the case with a female candidate who was kept in the program even after repeatedly quitting and failing to meet its physical standards, according to a memo published anonymously Wednesday morning and obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. Advancing a candidate who quit the program violated the Special Tactics community’s “societal norms,” the memo states.

    The Australian Open has a future, but not as a ‘grand slam’ event. It’s not just the Joker issue, either. There were plenty of comments from players last year saying the covid rules were ridiculous.

    Govt still preparing case to deport Djokovic
    The Federal Government is still preparing a case to kick Novak Djokovic out of the country to avoid setting a dangerous precedent to Australia’s borders.

    And remember this is all about an issue that has no effect on anyone, as the vaccinated are spreading the virus like wildfire.

    Was Djokovic case an attempted diversionary tactic by Morrison.

    Djokovic got bad news on Thursday at 7:42am that his entry visa into Australia was cancelled.

    At 8:56 am Morrison jumped on Twitter to attack Djokovic.

    This is from the Virology Journal in 2005

    Chloroquine is a potent inhibitor of SARS coronavirus infection and spread

    Background

    Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is caused by a newly discovered coronavirus (SARS-CoV). No effective prophylactic or post-exposure therapy is currently available.

    Results

    We report, however, that chloroquine has strong antiviral effects on SARS-CoV infection of primate cells. These inhibitory effects are observed when the cells are treated with the drug either before or after exposure to the virus, suggesting both prophylactic and therapeutic advantage. In addition to the well-known functions of chloroquine such as elevations of endosomal pH, the drug appears to interfere with terminal glycosylation of the cellular receptor, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2. This may negatively influence the virus-receptor binding and abrogate the infection, with further ramifications by the elevation of vesicular pH, resulting in the inhibition of infection and spread of SARS CoV at clinically admissible concentrations.

    And the Federal Government is still pumping out the lie (with borrowed money) that the vaccines will stop the spread.

    At the same time, Novak needs to clear up some of the questions via his lawyers. There are some conflicts in the answers being given.

    The Week That Was

    This series of posts ran for a few weeks, last year. The purpose of the posts was for a wind down on the week. Meeting at the virtual Cat pub on a Friday to have some fun about the events of the previous few days.

    It turned out that Shy Ted was the only regular Cat joining me at the pub. Now, I like Ted, I really do.🙂 But just the two of us meeting, week after week, with very occasional appearances by a few others, defeats the purpose of that thread.

    You don’t have to contribute a toon, a meme, or any kind of link, if you don’t have one. There is so much that happens in the week – the pollies, celebrities, words, phrases, media, double-standards, news stories. Anything (preferably, clean) light-hearted and entertaining (something new or was posted by someone else) can be added, for us all to enjoy some relief from the madness in the world.

    I thought it would be something to cheer all Cats on this blog – not just Shy Ted and this commenter.

    It may be time to turn that off, unless there are others who are interested and willing to take part.

    On or Off?

    “Some critics have argued Djokovic has become convenient scapegoat for Australian govt facing criticism for its recent handling of pandemic”.

    Triple vaxxed Bob Saget:

    ‘SUDDEN MEDICAL EMERGENCY’

    It came amid US reports that suggested Saget died from a heart attack or stroke.

    The actor, who was best known for his role in Full House, was discovered “unresponsive” in his bed by Ritz-Carlton Orlando hotel security staff on Sunday, local time.

    While Saget’s cause of death might not be officially determined for weeks, law enforcement noted signs pointing to a “sudden medical emergency”, per TMZ.

    Authorities cited the position in which Saget’s body was found lying on the bed, with his left hand over his chest.

    Saget was found unresponsive by staff in a Florida hotel room about an hour after he was due to check out.

    For those who are interested, it is known from a 7th cent. hadith that Mo claimed black seed cures everything except death. You can buy the oil in any ‘arab’ suburb in Oz.
    Also Quinine, if you want to try that, you can buy the powder easily from a shop in Melbourne (for making tonic)
    Both have little or no downside (cheap and have been used for centuries by millions) except ridicule from the usual experts and a possible huge upside.

    Vax-Pushing Trump Says Politicians Are “Gutless” For Failing To Answer If They’ve Got A Booster

    During an interview with One America News, Donald Trump slammed politicians who won’t say if they’ve received a Covid booster shot or not.

    Asked for his current view on Covid vaccines Tuesday evening, the 45th president said, “Well, I’ve taken it. I’ve had the booster. I watched a couple of politicians being interviewed, and one of the questions was, ‘Did you get the booster?’ Because they had the vaccine, and the answer is yes but they don’t want to say it.”

    “Because they’re gutless,” Trump added. “You gotta say it, whether you had it or not, say it. But the fact is that I think the vaccine has saved tens of millions of people throughout the world. I’ve had absolutely no side effects.”

    Trump didn’t mention which politicians he was referring to, but many outlets are reporting that he was attacking Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
