British tourist landed at a dingo lair. When retrieving his body rescuers discovered a baby's jacket, exactly the same as the one Lindy said Azaria was wearing when taken from the tent by a dingo.

Divine providence strikes again.
Linda was released from prison.


And British tourists are pretty replaceable, so there's really no downside here.

Britain is America's closest ally today.
You might think it's Mexico.

Republicans in congress cannot do their jobs to pass legislation that funds our security priorities because they are grifter lowlifes and they need a broken border to get mental defectives like Luee over to their side.

YouTube loves me as a paying customer...internet access.
Youtubers love me subscribing to their channels and clicking "like" on their videos, earning them money.
In return they entertain and inform/educate me.
Hooray for Youtube.
Yesterday on Youtube I learnt that middle class America has basically ditched EVs.

"The Gap" is closer. [Ocean cliff in Sydney]

We're trying to stop people from dying there...not encouraging them.

"Always remember the power of the simple smile, a helping hand, a listening ear and a kind word," advised Don Ritchie.
Where there's life, there's hope. Few people knew that truth more intimately than  Don Ritchie.

Ritchie is credited for saving the lives of hundreds of would-be jumpers at a dangerous seaside cliff in Australia, simply by inviting them into his home nearby for
tea and conversation.

When he died in 2012 at the age of 85, family said that he'd saved some 500 people from suicide, though the official count is 160. He was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia, and was named Australia's Local Hero for 2011.

We need to flood the libraries in the Philippines with all of the Greek stuff, Aristotle, Sophocles, Aristophanes, Euclid, etc.

And it is sexy when the women from the Philippines dress like the Greeks, and everyone loves sandals. And a good Toga Party is always nice.

We also need to invite the Greek architects to build in Battle Mountain, Nevada, and in other parts of the USA, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, etc.

The USA was built on the foundation provided by Athens and Rome, and we need to teach our people about Athens and Rome.

And we need lots of libraries, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

Australia supply a warship to the Red Sea as requested by the US?
Very unlikely...might happen but there is much doubt it today...the Far Left 'Albanese' federal govt is being accused of caring more about protecting votes in its electorates than protecting shipping in the Red Sea from terrorists and their enablers.

Guess who live in Albo's electorate and the Leftist Labor-held electorates in SW and W Sydney?
Clue...not Jews [might be a few].

Damn the "climate change emergency" brigade!
Damn the "renewables now" brigade!

My electricity went off today for 2 hours, as my dinner was cooking.
No tv, no tablets...they are WiFi only.
My cell phone was flat.
No lights.
It's official...I now live in a far-left run basket case backwater.

Long live coal-fired power stations!
Long live gas-fired power stations!

Your power failure was not caused by renewables.  Outtages are usually a result of grid problems. 

I liked the cliff story, btw.  The tea and sympathy guy understood a basic truth - a lot of jumpers are very alone in their lives.

They're closing the coal-fired power stations before they have viable alternatives.
 Hot day yesterday, 105 F "don't use air conditioners, dishwashers, especially between 5 and 9pm".
They left us without enough capacity, they closed the big one, the Liddell power station. The People, "the great unwashed who are stoopid and don't know anything" told them not to, that it was a crazy thing to do...but no, their blind hatred of coal/fossil fuels and blind love of "net zero" saw them do it.
Their electoral fear of the "climate change emergency" brigade also played a part.

They're also blind crazy by importing hundreds of thousands of migrants too many in their race to "big Australia, and in the process overloading infrastructure....all infrastructure.

Scummo scuttled grid investment and renewable rollout to your great delight. Sweat in the dark a bit as penance.

Greta and Al warned you your shit would not hold up. Now it is failing and everyone knows why.
