“With profound sadness we share that, following a sudden and rapid decline in health after Christmas, Jim died peacefully on January 16 in the arms of his family,” the statement read.

In an article in today’s Oz (sorry I can’t find a link to it – paywalled anyway), the Ukrainian ambassador is asking for more money. Is critical of Aussies enjoying this holiday time while Ukrainians are dying. Talks about what will happen to the western world if Ukraine loses the war.
And now this same ambassador is allowed to dictate the rules of a sports event? How is it that politicians and officials are accepting that?

My humble apologies. I predicted that Miss You-knee-worse would be from the same land as Man of the War. I was wrong. But only a little bit. The winner was Miss USA. The same country helping the war to continue. But never mind that.
The actual weeners is weemen.
Because the contest is going to be run by weemen.
Sadly, the loudest cheerers of the new owner-man are the women in the audience. The same feminists who years ago protested about beauty contests and women being treated like objects.

How right he is in describing himself. The organisation is going to be run by weemen. Indeed, they are wee little men.

Thanks, Eyrie. And Shy Ted.
I can’t remember seeing this phrase used, even in British novels (of the past or present) or websites. There are other words used as euphemisms to replace the word “died”.
I’ve picked this particular term because of its meaning. How does it fit in today, anywhere? East-End Cockney land or elsewhere? How would someone who has lost a family member or friend feel when their loved one is said to be “brown bread”? In the story I linked to, the widow was upset to find that term used for her husband.
Its usage may not bother others. Just my misgivings…..

Dr. Vernon Coleman:
Twelve things doctors know but won’t tell you
Antidepressants don’t usually work. And yet millions of people take them.
Any patient in hospital who has a bed sore was incompetently nursed.
Most practising doctors stop learning when they leave medical school. So if your doctor qualified ten years ago the chances are high that his knowledge is ten years out of date. Just about everything doctors learn after qualifying is fed to them by drug companies.
Many medical journals are bent. They allow drug companies to suppress inconvenient results and they receive huge amounts of money in drug company advertising.
Benzodiazepine tranquillisers are far more addictive and difficult to kick than heroin or cocaine. (It is now exactly 50 years since I first revealed the truth about tranquilliser addiction and other problems. Many doctors still prescribe these wretched pills for too long.)
The medical establishment has absolutely no interest in the welfare of patients but is interested in promoting drug company products and obtaining bigger salaries and fees for doctors.
Doctors prescribe the same doses of drugs for 25 stone men as they do for seven stone women. That’s just stupid.
Older patients should be given smaller doses of most drugs. But doctors don’t bother to do this. Actually, most doctors probably don’t even know they should do this.
It is deadly dangerous to try to diagnose patients without seeing them. But these days lazy doctors do this all the time – constantly making massive, lethal errors.
One in six patients in hospital is there because they have been made ill by doctors.
Four out of ten patients who are given a prescription drug develop side effects – sometimes lethal ones.
There is now no such thing as medical confidentiality. Doctors share information they are given with vast numbers of people.

“Brown Bread” is a jocular & irreverent way of saying someone has passed on. You wouldn’t use it for formal occasions or for people close to you. I feel sure it predates the 1960’s but because of its origins as a part of a ‘cryptolect’ (a secretive language), there’d be few written records of its use or frequency.

Sounds like Crowder is talking about contract offer from the Daily Wire and thought he would join the Ben Shapiro family only to learn they’re just another cartel. Shaprio pays Facebook $130,000 per month to promote his page, by the way (this is publicly available info) so they’re obviously in bed together. (not to mention Shapiro had a secret dinner at Zuckerberg’s house a few years ago, so it’s no wonder his page is never suspended or demonetized.) Crowder is better off independent. No Sacred Cows!

McCarthy got the hammer at the 15th vote. So he got his wish to be a Speaker. But, he is a SINO – Speaker in name only. A group of brave patriots have turned him into their puppet – for all the right reasons.
This is how we play the game against the system. A small group of patriots – just 20 out of the 222 GOP members in Congress – united and held out (peacefully and non-violently) till their demands were met.

Some of you may be aware that there are community radio stations. There is one where volunteers read articles and stories from some of the daily newspapers as well as some magazines, from here and around the world.
This is the one I listen to – Radio 2RPH – while I am busy with some tasks and chores. I have the radio on and it lets me multi-task. I do stuff that I have to and also listen to the daily Australian newspaper: front page headline stories and some other items inside the paper. Also the Editorials.
Monday–Friday: 11.30 am – 12.40 pm AEST
Saturday: 12.15 – 1.30 pm
I don’t have the time for other papers and magazines, but this gives me a roundup of the main stories in the news. If some article sounds like BS/fake, I check it later when I am able to. That is why I am able to mention here some news items, even though I don’t have the paper or online access.
There is so much happening in the country and world and it gets hard to keep up or read everything. I don’t watch the idiot box or rely on MSM for the real news. But the radio is good because it is possible to keep doing various tasks – especially manual ones – and get information at the same time.
Maybe, some of you want to check this and can then share here what you learn. I think this may be available on radio, only in NSW. There may be similar stations in other states. But of course it is also available online.
