    A 95-year-old woman armed with a steak knife was approaching police “slowly” and using a walking frame when she was Tasered at a nursing home in the state’s south, senior police have revealed.

    How very odd. Having worked in the industry pretty much anything with a sharp edge has long been banned, in fact the knives are so blunt they can barely cut through vegetables. Anyone using a walking frame moves so slowly they could easily be disarmed in slow motion. There are usually policies that prevent staff restraining the elderly and if there’s any aggression to call for backup.
    Release the cops body cam and show it up for the lie it is.

    SMH

    Nowland, a dementia patient who weighs 43 kilograms, was carrying a serrated steak knife she had obtained from the kitchen of Yallambee Lodge aged care home in Cooma, and had left her bed and been walking around the home for some time before the incident.

    Emergency services received a call about 4.15am “along the lines of … Clare having a knife in her possession”, NSW Police Assistant Commissioner Peter Cotter told reporters on Friday.

    … The Taser was discharged once by a male senior constable with 12 years experience.

    The incident was captured on body-cam footage Cotter described as “confronting”. He said the video would not be released to the public but would form “a significant and integral part of the investigation”.

    Asked if Nowland was behaving in a threatening way, Cotter said she was moving “at a slow pace” and using a walking frame.

    A 95-year old frail dementia patient, moving slowly with a walking frame and carrying a knife, must have had such sharp vision and swift reflexes that she would have been a serious threat to any able-bodied adult. Sure.

    That male senior constable with 12 years experience should have his name and photo on display and picked up globally. Everyone needs to know the details about a trained member of the police force who felt threatened in that situation.

    He has been charged with the following:
    1. having incited hatred against a religious group and attacked the human dignity of others by insulting and maliciously disparaging that religious group, while acting in concert in a manner likely to disturb the public peace; and

    2. having publicly trivialized an act committed under the rule of National Socialism of the kind described in Section 6 (1) of the International Criminal Code in a manner likely to disturb public peace.

    Hersh, Poland wants peace.

    Seymour Hersh thinks that he is reporting leaks, I think that he’s unwittingly reporting misinformation which he’s being fed, i.e., plants not leaks. This started with his Nord Stream bombing story, this said that Norway was involved whereas it was an entirely 100% USA effort.

    I see no sign that Poland wants peace, it may want a piece of Ukraine but it doesn’t want peace. Poland has around 20,000 rebadged Ukrainian soldiers in Ukraine, they more than any other European nation want to fight the Russians.

    There was an outcry a few months back about the Polish soldiers dying in Ukraine who weren’t being properly acknowledged by their government who was trying to keep their involvement quiet. The government relented and acknowledged just over 1,000 dead Polish soldiers who were buried in a military cemetery. That number has now gone up to 2,200, or around 10% of the force Poland sent into Ukraine.

    Napolitano also shares his opinions on various other matters too, but he does eventually come back to Justice Gorsuch’s dissenting opinion.

    Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris are right about their discussion points on the current pontiff. Roman Catholics have similar opinions. One error from Mercouris is when he refers to this Pope as the Vicar of Christ. Francis dropped that title years ago.

    Zelensky should not have been admitted into the Vatican for many reasons. But Francis rejects all the traditions of the church. So those who revere what has been passed down the Church through the ages, whether Orthodox or Catholics, won’t get much attention from this pope.

    Indeed, kaysee, Islamist marches are very disturbing – not that the British spooks will do anything, concerned as they are about garage Nazis and ‘extreme’ right wing groups who oppose transgenderist takeovers of schools and public libraries.

    I see that another ten men have been charged with multiple offences in the very belated aftermath of the appalling events in Rotherham. By now, the trail is cold and evidence will be difficult to find. The defendants will benefit from the British legal system to the max, no doubt at public expense.

    Meanwhile, immigrants continue to pour into the UK, girls still undergo genital mutilation and forced marriages – business as usual. The government is merely sweeping up the dried old manure in the stable from which the horses bolted years ago.

    Around 70% of young people with Pakistani heritage in Bradford are thought to marry their first cousins, despite medical evidence suggesting the practice leads to genetic problems for their offspring.

    In the UK, half of all Pakistanis marry a first cousin, and they are 13 times more likely to produce children with genetic disorders than the general population. In Birmingham, one in ten of all children born to first cousins died in childhood or suffered from a serious genetic disorder.

    Despite the health dangers, it is estimated that 55% of Pakistani-heritage couples are in cousin marriages, and they account for a third – 33% – of children with genetic birth defects.

    They do this to keep the wealth in their extended family – which may number over 200 people. It happens in all Islamic countries as the culture is based on tribalism. The successful family eventually becomes a tribe and then, possibly, become rulers. Saudi Arabia is an example, the country of the tribe al Saud. The dowries and inheritance never leave the extended family or tribe. And indeed in these countries, I am told by the nurses who work there, are found the most bizarre genetic diseases. BTW it explains the nepotism and what we see as corruption, but they see as rational behaviour.

    You have to wonder what is behind Democrats’ refusal to enforce criminal justice when it comes to property crime. The same mentality is seen in California, where shoplifting below $950 worth is not even prosecuted. That is one of the reasons why several prominent retailers have closed up shop there, and inevitably others will follow.

    Could it be that rich Democrats are immune, hiding behind high walls and security systems? And poor Democrats are over-represented among the perps?

    I stayed in San Francisco for a while before it began its decline into a filthy, crime ridden mess. It was undoubtedly one of the best cities in the world – small and beautiful, blessed with natural beauty and safe, clean, thriving public spaces.

    While the Democrats are not yet up to the Taliban standard of vandalism, they are reaching. Another example is Baltimore, once a treasure trove of ante bellum architecture, with lots of quiet, shady streets and lovely old houses. Nowadays, the population is falling, the murder rate is rising, and district after district is decaying. It now looks less like old Baltimore and more like Detroit – another failed Democrat city.

    This is a great interview with Colonel Douglas MacGregor – the interviewer is Donald Trump Jnr!

    Col Douglas Macgregor is a very intelligent man and in the interview details solutions that are possible under ideal circumstances. Then Don Trump Jr butters up MacGregor – a (hypothetical) offer of a role in the Trump Admin.

    I wondered when the interview would reach the agenda that was obvious all along. It happened at 57:28. And MacGregor dropped in my esteem with his response at 57:43. Was he blindsided with that question?

    Talk is cheap. They are discussing Wokeness. Opportunists. Globalists.

    Reality. Which Republicans did not support the Bud Light boycott because the company donated to Republicans? It is the real conservatives who went ahead and cancelled the product which resulted in a victory. The first step in winning the culture wars by teaching other companies that getting woke may not be such a good idea after all.

    Rallies and speeches are wonderful. Nice to see the crowds cheering on. But what is needed is real action. It needs someone with leadership qualities that include self-confidence and integrity.

    Don Jr can interview Vivek Ramasway, next, and promise him the role Anti-woke chief in a future Trump Admin. Why not? The butter-up, flattery route works. Honesty doesn’t.

    So the well run and popular Calvary Hospital in Canberra is about to be taken over with 76 years lease to run, in order to provide Canberrans with abortions, even though the badly run government hospital already does so
    From behind the paywall:
    Calvary Hospital says it is at an “impasse” with the ACT government over its proposed compulsory acquisition of the site in Canberra.

    Calvary’s national chief executive, Martin Bowles, confirmed he had met ACT Health Minister Rachel Stephen-Smith last Thursday over her government’s intention to pass a bill in coming weeks allowing them to take over the hospital.
    But he said Calvary had still not received any meaningful options to resolve the matter, including service delivery or compensation.

    “We remain hopeful the ACT government will give Calvary this matter appropriate consideration and provide options beyond the legislation. Our people deserve this,” Mr Bowls said.

    “This legislation could be enacted as early as next Wednesday, and yet we seem to be at an impasse, with the ACT government choosing to double down on its proposed legislation filled with draconian measures,” Mr Bowle said.

    “Calvary has 76 years left on our contract, which is part of our long-term business planning and the ACT Government cannot simply take that away from our overall business without impacting our services more broadly.”

    We at Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights join the rightful growing chorus of outrage over the pending reversal of Roe v. Wade.

    The draft Supreme Court opinion would overturn a longstanding right to abortion and represents a grave threat to human rights in the United States.

    But after signing up as a Prez candidate, the tune has changed to mummmmmm on that topic. He will be hoping for votes from conservatives who support his anti-vaxx stand.

    Kennedy Jr., however, has not made recent remarks about abortion, nor does his campaign site clarify his position on reproductive rights. When reached by Newsweek, a campaign spokesperson said Kennedy Jr. “believes strongly in the principle of bodily autonomy, whether the issue is abortion or medical mandates.”

    “He will keep government away from women’s childbearing choices. The moral issues are best left to the woman, her family, and her religious community,” the spokesperson added.

    Problem for Ron is he did a 180 on Ukraine following instruction from his donors. Therefore he cannot be taken at his word.

    Australians were also censored the Twitter Files has discovered, and surprisingly the Australian actually reported it.

    While the comment that caused my suspension was rebutting Albanese’s tweet: “Eligibility for fourth booster shots has been extended. If you’re 30 or older you can book yours from today!” -this was in July 2022 so it may not be due to Aust. Governmental request …still suspended though.

    Are Grampian Nazis worse than Illinois Nazis? That is the question.

    Shy Ted 8.15pm : Add to the agender hypocrisy. There must still be somewhere around photos of well known and international artists performing and in the audience girls screaming and throwing their used knickers on to the stage. Now why did they do that and if the out front girls did it what about the ones behind the scenes.

    Meant to add – in the clip I linked (she would have been about 52 at the time) the atmosphere is electric, the crowd is going wild and the band are having an absolute blast. You can’t fake that.

    What a superstar!

    This was in the latest ‘Redacted’ email:

    “Classical music is racist. So says a movement to punish classical music and opera professors for teaching and producing pieces from European men.

    Dona Vaughn, the artistic director of the Manhattan School of Music, was fired because she had produced Franz Lehár’s allegedly racist operetta, Das Land des Lächelns (The Land of Smiles), several years earlier. Why was it racist? Because it portrays a Vietnamese woman who is forced apart from her Chinese lover due to Chinese customs.

    Nameless online accounts began petitions against Vaughn and she was fired, despite character references by musicians of color.

    In Texas, another professor was fired because he taught the work of 20th-century Austrian music theorist Heinrich Schenker. His critics said that this “hierarchy of keys and of harmonies… [is] constitutive of Western tonal music” and that “tonal music is itself racist.”

    Shenker was an Austrian Jew whose fiancé died in a concentration camp. Doesn’t matter, say race baiters. Racist.

    Is everything created by Europeans racist? What will we get from this crusade against whiteness? As the author of this think piece about classical music puts it, “To reduce everything in human experience to the ever more tedious theme of alleged racial oppression is narcissism. This music is not about you or me. It is about something grander than our narrow, petty selves.””

    And here is an interview with Evelyn Rae from ‘The Caldron Pool’ talking to the ‘Cross Politic’ team in the U.S. It’s interesting to see their reactions to Aussie law:
