You must not have watched Earth Girls are Easy. Try to keep up with the science.

No wonder you do not have nukes.

Fucking colonials.

Who?  The 'Sons and Daughters of the Southern Cross'?
We'll get nukes, one way or another..you watch us...we won't be jumping into the billabong to become ghosts until the very end.

Or maybe biological and chemical weapons...everybody else is, without sanction.

We don't have nukes because we fell for the 3 card trick;
Card 1: 'Signing nuclear non-proliferation treaties is best for world peace'.
Card 2: 'Sign defence alliances and you will be looked after, no need for nuclear weapons'.
Card 3: 'Defence alliances are an iron-clad guarantee of protection if attacked'.

Whereas nothing, absolutely nothing about defence alliances is guaranteed...protection/assistance is at the whim of the leaders/people of other countries at the time.
Which is fair enough, "look after yourself in this world, son...because nobody else will".
Exactly why every nation is now trying to arm itself as best it can.
Ukraine is a perfect example for other defenceless countries..."arm yourself with nukes and every missile known to man or you'll be slaughtered".

Science, or space fantasy?

We will know that Bambuland has nukes when we see the mushroom cloud over Sydney, Brisbane or Perth. Anyone who has worked with Ozzies knows what would happen. It is why they get no help with stuff they cannot figure out for themselves.

It is the metaphorical fork with the cork on its tines a la Freddy trying to pull a con. In the case of Oz, there is no con. Bambu and his cohort depend on the presence of that cork.

We'll get them, we will you know.
You might own them, Britain might own them, but we'll get them here, make no mistake.
We're already getting the subs to put them in...some time this century...see what happens when one delays.
The time has come for Australia to arm itself properly, one way or another.

Warren Brown writes, from South Australia [Daily Telegraph today]:

On the gun-barrel-straight bitumen from Wilmington to Orroroo in South Australia, our two-and-a-half tonne RAM 1500 Laramie is belting across a dead-flat landscape where I'm convinced the landscape has been plotted with a spirit level and finished off with a road grader.

The RAM is in its element out here - its 5.7 litre HEMI 400 horse-power fuel-injected V8 effortlessly eating up the kilometres, seemingly itching to be given open rein on an open road at full throttle.

The best-selling RAM and its rivals, the Ford F150 and Chevrolet Silverado, are about to be joined by the twin-turbo V6 Toyota Tundra, this week approved for sale in Australia.

But make no mistake - these pick ups are not catering for the ute market - they are proudly presented as a political statement aimed for the red-blooded car guys who have had enough of woke society shaming them into conceding to some alternative eco-friendly vehicle with the charm of a kitchen appliance.

He doesn't seem to know what woke means.  It means be aware of racial/ethnic prejudice and discrimination in your society.  It has nothing to do with the question of what vehicles are sustainable. 

I have no problem with a construction worker, rancher, remodeler driving a F150 because they actually need the cargo capacity and towing power.  But the performative thing where people buy one and then mainly use it to commute and pick up groceries is pretentious and pathetic.  Own a truck because you need to haul stuff, not because it's a surrogate penis.

As my bud Tim Russert said, Floriduh, Floriduh, Floriduh!

They are trying to rewrite history and whitewash it at the same time.

Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.

If they are trying to erase us from history you know what comes next. They will not succeed but they are gonna give it the old college try.




The updated standards say students should learn that enslaved people developed skills that could be applied for their personal benefit, and that in teaching about mob violence against Black residents instructors should note acts of violence perpetrated against and by African Americans.

developed skills that could be applied for their personal benefit - holy mother of fuck, George Orwell nailed it.

Hey, while we're at it, let's call abduction for ransom sequestering for funds that may be applied for their personal benefit...



Finally caught up on the Margie shenanigans, showing the nude pix of Hunter, at the hearing?  That would be a hoot if they could get her on a District law.  Also a possible defamation charge, given her comment on Hunter making pornography.

More delightful is Team Biden using her Turning Point Action speech for Joe's campaign ads.

Nah, a big country demands big cars/utes/muscle trucks sometimes.
Like towing travel trailers/caravans around Australia ..."doing the lap"...or "getting away on vacation/weekends" towing same vehicles.
Tradies buy them as business/family vehicles, claim them on their business taxation (ATO/IRS)...tow trailers carrying tools, machinery for plumbing/carpentry/house-washing etc by work days, caravans by fun days.The caravans now weight 3.5 and 4 tons.
By the time you load up the faaamily and all their gear, the tow vehicle has to be big, and heavy.
"The lap", with excursions into the middle is about 15,000 - 20,000 miles.
Dirt, rough roads in many places, the outback is no place for amateurs unprepared for the challenges.
Water, spare tyres, food, shade, chairs, bikes, sometimes boats on top of the caravans.
A 5.7 litre 400 HP HEMI V8 big truck sounds ideal.

Jason Aldean song is attacked by Progressives.
Song soars to number One, mainly because attacks are lies.

Funny how that works.

Like it or not...in today's world a man is judged by the car he owns/drives.
, among other things.
Other things, like job/career, income, looks, height, attire etc.
Gonna own a truck for work/play, might as well go big and beautiful.
The day I saw that new Tundra '1794' on Youtube I fell in love with it.
So roomy, so country, so me.
Wouldn't fit in my garage, would cost too much to buy and run, and wouldn't fit within the car spaces at the mall, though...so I'll just have to make do with a Corolla sedan or hatch if ever I need a new car.
But if I were a tradie, on tradie income, I'd buy one in a heartbeat.
