You must never have heard of the secret policemans ball.

Late as usual, Bambi.

You should have seen the clothing allowance for the initial head of our FBI.

That's good news.
"Any port in a storm" as they say.
Anything to keep the lights on and petrol pumps working at gas stations.

Oh, my power prices are increasing up to 100% starting July 1st 2023.
Dumb "independent regulator" tripe.
This is what happens when govts sell off power grids.
They can only "sell the farm" once.

Govts should always own the energy, water, and land.
If foreign nations own the energy grids, they can just switch off all the power and invade.
Gotta keep the coal ready though...for when the sun ain't shinin' and the wind ain't blowin'.

Lock up your daughters [and sons]...rapists and murderers are after them!
Nowhere is safe!
Not research labs at night when the young woman is alone with a male work colleague who is infatuated with her...lovely young woman, engaged to be married, was raped and murdered in a research lab.

Nowhere is safe.

Oh, and pedophiles now have their own flag!   Older guy on Youtube showed a photo of one, complaining.

Why do pedophiles have their own flag now?
Because they can.
Because *anything* is allowed today.

The pedophile flag has two blue stripes at the top...to show attraction to boys.
Two pink stripes at the bottom...to show attraction to girls.
Pale yellow in the middle to show attraction to children in general.
...the older man in the video said.

No...but I'm not Googling the other alleged one.
If it appears on Youtube again I'll give you the video details.

Yes it is. To the tune of billions.

I know I advised you to get out more, but maybe you should take your search for like minded souls away from this flag group you are looking for.

Ruby the Kangaroo is inviting the Chinese tourists to come to Australia....

https://www.afr.com/world/asia/australia-s-plan-to-get-chinese-tourists-back-20230623-p5dj1w

Embrace the Chinese Bambu, the Chinese are great. Serve them your best wine, and feed them your best meals, etc, etc, etc, and roasted pigs, and Margaritas and Pina Coladas, etc, etc, etc. Feature the Rugby team for the Chinese women in the advertising with Ruby the Kangaroo. Margot Robbie can invite the Chinese men to Australia along with Ruby the Kangaroo, and the Women's Beach Volleyball Team, etc.

Australia can be the new Vacation Destination for the Chinese.

Embrace the Chinese Bambu, do not be afraid. The Chinese are great.

Salute,

Tony V.

Chinese tourists are great.
Chinese people are nice.
They're getting better at not just rushing into the surf at Bondi beach and having to be rescued.
"Backpackers rip" is not to be trifled with, if you don't want to end up in New Zealand.
It's at the southern end, right near the bus stop!
Off the bus and into the calmish water.

It's the Chinese warships cruising my coastline etc and the Chinese govt's banging of war drums that are the problems.

Maybe you could save/help children by keeping an eye out for that flag, and if you don't want to get involved yourself have your women lobby for it to be banned.

I see our High Court has descended to a new low.  Deciding a case from
Colorado that was fabricated whole cloth to obtain a decision on a hypothetical
Case!

Gives new meaning to Activist Court!

Hardly.


In Hurley v. Irish-American Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Group of Boston,(1995), a UNANIMOUS  Supreme Court established that
the First Amendment free speech rights of private groups to define the parameters of their expressive conduct during a parade trumped the provisions of a state anti-discrimination law.

And in 2000 a landmark  SCOTUS decision held
that the constitutional right to freedom of association allowed the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) to exclude a homosexual person from membership in spite of a state law requiring equal treatment of homosexuals in public accommodations.
More generally, the court ruled that a private organization such as the BSA may exclude a person from membership when the presence of that person affects in a significant way the group s ability to advocate public or private viewpoints.


In effect the five to four decision ruled that opposition to homosexuality is part of BSA expressive message and that allowing homosexuals as adult leaders would interfere with that message.
