    No doubt Clare Nowland will be put down as a Covid death. RIP Clare, killed by real Nazis.

    Brilliant synopsis of the historical context for the Ukraine War.

    Can anyone read this and still maintain, as the Biden administration does incessantly, that the invasion was “unprovoked”?

    Here’s how it works in aged care homes for those with dementia. Years ago policies were introduced that forbade carers to intervene in aggression. They have to request support, first call ambos who routinely attend aggressive people. If they can’t resolve the incident they call the cops, each step up having greater powers to address the situation. Lots of sensible ideas have been put forward to deal with the poor old dear but bureaucrats know better. There can be no excuse for what the now stood down cop did and policy for using tasers was clearly breached. But over the years the experts, who have rarely worked in clinical situations, won by the power of policy. Experts in care, ambo and cops created this farce. As with any number of situations where experts become involved, outcomes are adverse. They never get held to account.

    So does Mike Pence.
    I expect many leading Republicans do if Pence does.

    Tina Turner and rugby league: an enduring partnership that changed the face of the game

    … When it comes to critical demarcation points in the history of rugby league, Turner’s involvement is certainly one. The game in the late 1970s and early 1980s was a semi-professional one, a game known for its abject violence and amateur administration and blinkered worldview. Turner changed that and by the mid-1990s, rugby league had modernised. The game now had wide-reaching commercial appeal. Stars of the game carried themselves as such. Skill and speed were now prized as much as toughness and aggression. Crowds were up and significantly more diverse. Television wanted in …

    I see this ongoing news item as one of the notable news stories that can swing into a turning point – a landmark – if the momentum continues.

    This is the Bud’s Getting Lighter drama. Some facts and links need repeating because they are important. What happened to change the expected outcome – forcing beer drinkers to gulp down a mental illness along with the beer – turned into a serious lesson for the other side, the company, Anheuser-Busch.

    The Bud Light boycott is getting other woke companies worried. But that is not enough. Shoppers need to continue the boycotts. It may be hard to break habits and inconvenient too, but once the lesson is learnt, it won’t be forgotten by the wokesters.

    It’s Up To Moms To Crush Target

    Boycotts can feel like a drop in the bucket, like you’re hardly making a difference, but they do work. And we know this because we just witnessed a very successful cratering of Anheuser-Busch’s stock price and a decline in sales across all their brands, not just Bud Light’s. It worked because strong, unabashed men proudly stopped buying Bud Light and shamed anyone who did after the beer company partnered with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney. Dudes crushed Bud Light — now it’s time for the ladies to do their part.

    This warning should be sent to all stores.

    What happened to Anheuser-Busch and Bud Light was a result of some non-MSM media commentators taking up the battle to boycott. And the results have the companies worried.

    But we mustn’t forget that this was done without the bigwigs. The humble conservative battlers were criticised and advised to end the boycott. If this advice had been taken, the woke companies would continue laughing all the way to the bank.

    Already posted some of these links, but will keep posting to note who is really a conservative on your side, and who is after what is best for them, not you.

    Does anyone remember Claus Schwab congratulating Zelensky, just over a year ago from memory, for introducing the world’s first combined drivers licence and vaccination status phone app.

    That unfortunate country is the testing ground for all the WEF/Deep State/whatever-you-call-it new controls, it makes me wonder what testing was carried out on the citizenry from all those bio-labs.
