Next up we will discuss the topic with someone whose job it is to be a well researched and respected expert in the area.
And in the interest of balance, we will also talk to an idiot.

See the Super Patriot
Hear hear him preach how he lives his country
Hear him preach how he hates liberals,
and moderates and intellectuals
And activists and pacifists
and minority groups and aliens
And unions and teenagers
And the very rich and the very poor
And people with foreign sounding names
Now you know what a super patriot is
Someone who lives his country
While hating 93% of the people in it

A child asks - so if the bible says we should help the poor, welcome the foreigner, heal the sick, respect others, not lie, commit adultery or steal, then why do we support Donald Trump? Father answers - Oh Billy we don’t actually practice those things, we only preach them.

I have moved further out along the arm at the marina. It’s now a cinch to dock, compared to the tight little nook I was in previously.

I must repaint that blue cove stripe. The gentle lady looks positively naked without it.

Third mast from the left, that’s my home berth now 😁

Murdoch’s divisive rhetoric has much to answer for

Cartoon of Rupert Murdoch (Owner of Fox News) in 1985, sitting in front of a plate of cookies, pointing at a black man, (who has no cookies) and telling a worker (who has one cookie) “careful mate that foreigner wants your cookie” Then in 2026, Rupert is sitting on a huge mound of cookies, saying the same thing to the same men, (who are in the same situation they were in 1985), except the worker now only has a quarter of a cookie

Bagman Jack Herbert. Funny story in alt. text

Image of notorious bagman Jack Herbert

True Story from back in the day…..
Police sergeant says to young constable who has my mate cornered when raiding a party
- “You got this bloke’s name?”

Young constable (earnestly flipping through notebook) “Yes sir! Ummm…Jack.. Herbert?”.

Sarge (rolling his eyes) “Jesus”

Ol’ mate - (laughing at constable) “Dickhead”

Sarge - “you be careful, anything you say will be taken down and used as evidence”

Ol’ mate - “Yeah? alright then, well stop trying to kiss me and get your hand off my arse”

Whilst the substance of this “news report” is likely true, anyone with an ounce of intelligence is aware that Sky “News” would never say anything even remotely critical of the PedoPrez. Rupert Murdoch’s right wing propaganda factory.
