    While war rages in Ukraine,
    European Parliament votes on gender-neutral toilets

    At a time when war rages in Ukraine, the European Parliament is busy voting on gender-neutral toilets, Annika Bruna, MEP for the French National Rally, complained in a tweet.

    “Dear friends, while there is a war raging in Eastern Europe, the healthcare crisis has consequences that could destroy the country and inflation threatens us, the European Parliament is busy discussing the issue of its own toilets,” Bruna said. “In fact, yesterday the majority of deputies voted on an analysis of the composition of the toilets in (the European) Parliament, on how to account for all person’s needs and the necessity of gender-neutral toilets.”

    The vote comes at a time when 2.5 million refugees have fled Ukraine and thousands of civilians killed in fighting. The priorities of the establishment in Brussels have often been questioned during severe crises, and the issue of gender-neutral toilets is sure to raise some eyebrows.

    Female Swimmer Breaks Down in Tears After Being Forced Out of Race by Trans Swimmer

    Natural-born women are finding their swimming careers dashed repeatedly as transgender University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas continues to tear through the competition at the NCAA championships.

    Hernandez interviewed a swimmer from Virginia Tech who came right out and said that she saw a female swimmer break down in tears when she was knocked out of the competition by the biologically male Thomas.

    Why is it that biological women are still participating in a farce and giving the sports competition credibility?

    Why is it that these women cannot unite and refuse to take part in such events?

    Then, Tranny Thomas can take Gold, Silver and Bronze.

    And also get a special Participation medal.

    Albanese’s praise for senators Wong, Keneally and Gallagher
    – as he says he received ‘no complaints’ from Kitching

    Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese says Kimberley Kitching never complained to him about her treatment amid allegations the late-Senator was bullied by a faction of “mean girls” within Labor.

    Albanese and others have said that they are unwilling to talk out of respect for KK as the funeral has not yet taken place.

    Can we expect then, on Tuesday, there will be a discussion and investigation of Mean Girls and Mean Boys?

    If only the Mean Girls had been from the Liberal side. Or better still, it had been Mean Boys.

    Where is the Tame-Higgins clan to support the ill-treatment of a female? Let’s hope there are journos and media commentators who will not led this fade away.

    As for Albo, he defends the Mean Girls:

    “Politics can be a robust business but politics is better for the participation of valued colleagues in leadership positions, including Penny, Katy and Kristina.

    “They are all making an outstanding contribution and I’m very proud of the fact that I lead a team that has 50 per cent women make up the Shadow Cabinet, outstanding, strong, principled women and they continue to make a contribution.”

    So, the door to door Convid salesmen in Perth are using a new technology called LAMP. (Cos PCR and RAT weren’t actual tests). But this one is. Except –

    Despite this, there are some limitations to applying RT-LAMP in its current form. When testing the COVID-19 RT-LAMP method, cross-contamination was common. The authors believe this was due to the formation of aerosols from the RT-LAMP products.

    I suppose that would be quite handy when the intent is to find lots of cases.

    Good moaning.
    Regards the SA elections.
    Alway remember that Adelaide has the oldest average population which equals more MSM trusting viewers.
    The minors would never had a hope down there, but did well considering, so it actually holds a little hope for the federal election…getting a few senators in at least, for the minors.

    Struth, the Liberal Party preferences would have flowed to the Greens, which would have passed on to the ALP when their (Green) candidates were eliminated.

    Vote Liberal and your vote goes to Labor (thanks Libs).

    Nevertheless, the One Nation, LDP and Family First combined votes went up by over 5%.

    More corroboration of the ostracism & lack of support Kimberley Kitching received from her ALP comrades is coming out. Here’s a report from a Pro-Uyghur journalist.

    In April 2021 at a hearing on Uyghur forced labor, Senator Kitching complained to me in the corridors of the parliament about being isolated by her colleagues in the party who refused to work with her on China/human rights issues. Those colleagues did not attend the hearing

    Not ‘Googly’ enough:
    Google sued by Black ex-employee over ‘racially biased’ culture

    April Curley, who was hired by the technology giant as a University Programs Specialist in its New York office in 2014, said in the complaint that she was fired in 2020 after she “vocally opposed and called for reform of the barriers and double standards Google imposed on Black employees and applicants.” Curley is Black…

    The company is also facing a suit by another Black employee who accused it in 2017 of hiring minority job seekers with rosy promises and then assigning them jobs with lower pay.

    “Google’s centralized leadership, which is nearly devoid of Black representation, holds biased and stereotypical views about the abilities and potential of Black professionals,” Curley said in her complaint, filed Friday in federal court in San Jose, California.

    That’s why “Google hires few Black employees and steers those few Black employees into lower-level roles, pays them less, and denies them advancement and leadership roles because of their race,” she said.

    Hiring managers viewed Black candidates as not “Googly” enough and interviewers “hazed” Black candidates and asked them “level-inappropriate questions” to hurt their hiring prospects, Curley said.

    She is seeking damages for discriminatory employment practices and policies.

    For the record, I’d feed Adam and his family…we are fortunate enough to hand over meals.

    Tempted to cook at the local food bank…sloppy cooks with their hearts in the right place are churning out crap.

    Not jabbed, so entry is not possible.

    🤦‍♂️
