New York: Lance Reddick, a character actor who specialised in intense, icy and possibly sinister authority figures on TV and film, including The Wire, Fringe and the John Wick franchise, has died. He was 60.
Reddick died “suddenly” on Friday morning, his publicist Mia Hansen said in a statement, attributing his death to natural causes. His death was first reported by celebrity website TMZ.com.
It’s a real image but only of an art installation. The baby is merely a prop in this case.
Cold-Hands, thanks for tracing the source of that image. I would have liked to feel some relief that it is not “real”. But we are dealing with immoral people who do not care about the innocent lives that are harmed, so who knows?
If this is “art” for them, they may well be practising it in real life, as seen in the example about the drug cocktails.
The WEFers seem to like DeSantis, which puts me off him…
A bit strange that until September 2022, there wasn’t much that was negative about DeSantis. The only talk was about the positive things (from the Conservative viewpoint) he was doing for Florida.
Then just before the mid-terms in Nov, we started to hear about DeSanctimonious.
We need to start analysing the rumours about DeSantis vs the facts. Where are they coming from? And why? I have written on this blog a number of comments about this 2024 GOP candidate drama. Until January 2021, I was a Trump supporter. I kept hoping that somehow the election fraud would be revealed, and he would be sworn in as Prez. My response to any of his critics and TDSers was: No one is perfect. Everyone has faults. But Trump has more good points than bad, and he has done a great deal of good for America.
But I’ve watched him over the past two years. Based on his words and actions, he has lost my respect.
I can say more, but I will leave that for when I am in another ranting mood.
It looks like the Dutch are waking up to what’s going on.
Pro-farmer, populist party kicks globalist butts in Dutch Senate
Wonder if the final results will be enough for a change.
Eva Vlaar:
Really bad news. The first election results are in: The ruling parties suffered some losses, but with the help of the Labour Party and the green-left they will still be able to form a majority in the Senate to pass the nitrogen policies, including expropriation.
The Farmers’ Protest party has WON seats in provincial elections 🔥
A huge defeat for Rutte & his WEF ideology! He tried to dictate a societal change without asking the people.
I am addressing this comment to those of you who come to this blog, as regular commenters (you know if you are one).
I spend my internet travel time at various sites and blogs to get updates on what is happening in the world. There are the big sites (linked to multiple platforms), with a big staff and continuous posts and articles. Their comments run into hundreds and thousands. Articles and videos are being constantly updated and comments dropping in every minute.
There are some other sites which are small ones. They may have just 1-2 posts each month and no Open Threads. Some sites do not even have an option to comment. The ones that do, may have just 4 -5 comments. Some sites have all comments that go into moderation before they are published. These are also Conservative sites that believe in freedom. I don’t think the moderation is to suppress free speech but to ensure that comments stay within rules and maintain a level of respect for the site and its values.
It may seem as if these small blogs are very quiet with limited interaction for readers. But they have been running for many years, so the site owners must think that it is worth it to keep it going for the audience that reads it – even if the audience is small or just lurkers.
I don’t have a great deal of spare time. I read across the internet quickly and get as informed as I can in the time I have. I save/ bookmark any items that I think worth saving and share some of those that may interest the readers of this blog, when I am here.
The nature of this Cat blog has been slowly evolving as different events occur and affect the postings and posters. This, in turn, affects the number of comments per week. I rate Quality as more important than Quantity. This is my blog of choice for posting comments and writing posts. I do not follow crowds or post only where there will be a big audience to read my comments. There are a few serious regulars here, and that is good enough for me. I am not afflicted with FOMO – I visit the good sites that will give me a fair coverage of all national and international news. I don’t need to know everything about everything.
I am getting to like the new, calm atmosphere of this blog, since the past week. Disagreements, debates and rants, yes. But no quick tempers, abuse or swearing. The Open Thread dropped down to fewer comments, but that only matters if one is sitting at a blog all day with nothing to do, waiting to read what others are posting.
I would like the blog to keep running and I hope Adam thinks the same way. But thanks to him, we have this blog that he pays for. I also hope that there are a few of you who do want this show to stay on the road and are also committed to commenting on this blog. Everyone is welcome, including non-regulars. But it is a very small group that has stayed with this blog through the ups and downs and has contributed comments to keep it rolling along, every day.
The real enemy is out there – the UN, the WEF, the NWO, the Great Resetters and all their acolytes. The ones who are fighting against them should be supported. If we forget that, we will be the losers.
I am in a forever battle with the clock. And it wins. Almost Always.
But, whenever I can manage it, I’ll be here, as long as this Cat blog is afloat.
The behavior of Australian doctors during the alleged COVID pandemic was, for the most part, disgraceful….
So when one General Practitioner, Dr. Melissa McCann, made the attempt to find out what was happening with vaccine side effects after continuously witnessing problems with her patients in her rural Queensland clinic, it was a courageous move.
The ICC just made a fool of themselves with their arrest warrant for Putin. He’s been charged for kidnapping children, i.e., removing Russian families from front-line positions who are being shelled and attacked by Ukrainian forces. The EU, which supplies the Ukrainian Army with the ammunition to bombard civilian population centres, now want Putin arrested for evacuating these people.
It looks like the collapse of America’s smaller banks will continue for a while. The big banks are gobbling up all the worthwhile assets the smaller banks held, while the taxpayers are bailing out the depositors.
It’s a classic case of privatising the profits while socialising the losses.
It’s also a repeat of big business versus the small trader which we saw during the lockdowns. The big businesses thrived as they could keep their doors open and also through e-commerce, while the small guy was locked down and is now bankrupt.
Banking in the US will soon be reduced to a few big players without any competition. This is a necessary step in the introduction of digital currencies.

Oxfam have been dubbed a “laughing stock” over their decision to publish guidance which advises staff to avoid saying mother or father.
The charity, set up to tackle global poverty, warned staff against a string of potentially “offensive” terms in a new 92-page document.
Chapters are written up on race, power and decolonisation, gender justice, sexual diversity and women’s rights, disability, physical and mental health, migration and feminist principles for language use.

What a few days! Haven’t been seasick for decades but an imperceptibly choppy sea saw me PVing like the legend I was as a kid. Barely recovered by the next day. Then walking the dogs on their usual run through the bush and they both disappeared. Lots of potential for hazards. One turned up this morning, slightly injured, but essentially OK.

Victoria to ban Nazi salutes after far-right rally
The attorney-general announced the move on Monday morning, two days after neo-Nazis performed the salute at an anti-trans rights rally at Parliament House.
C’mon man!
We all love to take part in a Nazi salute from time to time.
Up until his recent messy divorce, Bill Gates enjoyed something of a free pass in corporate media. Generally presented as a kindly nerd who wants to save the world, the Microsoft co-founder was even unironically christened “Saint Bill” by The Guardian.
While other billionaires’ media empires are relatively well known, the extent to which Gates’s cash underwrites the modern media landscape is not. After sorting through over 30,000 individual grants, MintPress can reveal that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) has made over $300 million worth of donations to fund media projects.
Annastacia Palaszczuk revealed the state government is “very seriously” considering introducing a price cap on private rentals after a new report exposed the damning scale of Queensland’s housing crisis.
Scrolling through Instagram, I came across a likable North Shore member running for the New South Wales state election. He’s the epitome of an endangered blue-ribbon Liberal – a family-oriented conservative who is more interested in his local community than internal party politicking.
He speaks well, appears to have a solid moral code, and spends most of his time with his local community. All good things.
And then came the tragic sight of him standing next to an EV charging station ……
World-first move to lift gay, bisexual ban on blood plasma donation
Eligibility criteria prohibit anyone at higher risk of exposure to HIV from donating blood for three months since their last sexual activity, but that could soon change.
