At the same time, Kamala is vice president. This is incredible. This is extraordinary. Dr. Jill Biden continued working in community colleges.

So, you know, it was here in my household. My daughter, you know, who I was just like, “Aren’t you emotional?” And she was like — and she very much active in electoral politics for the first time ever in her life at 22. But she just kept on saying, “I don’t want people to just walk away now. I don’t want people to just think it’s all good.” And so, the work continues. La luta continúa.

Even by Scott Morrison’s standards, it has been an extraordinary performance.

His “I don’t hold an inquiry, mate” is making his “I don’t hold a hose, mate” look good.

The daily Telegraph cover today (11/03/2021) is amazingly jam-packed...

 

If you have missed the important bits of news because you're not paying attention, let me help you:

 

trapThe parents are furious. They send their kids to a prestigious New York school, Harvard-Westlake, thinking their little flowers would learn the art of making money. It cost them a little money, around $40,000 per year, out of their petty bourgeois fortunes.

The Queen has broken her silence over Prince Harry and Meghan's tell-all interview, saying allegations of racism were "concerning" and they would be handled by the royal family "privately".

"The law is an arse" said the ass (donkey) of the fable. “An ASS!” said Diogenes… 

fishThe influence of religion in politics just got a shot in the arm with the election of Joseph Robinette Biden Junior, the Catholic, as the 46th President of the United States of America. Unlike his Catholic predecessor, JFK, he won’t be assassinated by the secret service.

Mikhail Gorbachev is 90. America also needs its own perestroika

 

During the recent years, the number of Russian people who believe that the first and last president of the USSR has done more harm than good to the country has slightly decreased. The number of those who positively assess Gorbachev's input has increased by one percent.

 

A poll conducted by the Russian Public Opinion Research Centre among 1,600 Russians revealed that the number of people who believe that Gorbachev brought the country more harm than good has decreased. In 2019, 54 percent of respondents thought so, and in 2021 - 51 percent.

 

Texas oil refineries released hundreds of thousands of pounds of pollutants including benzene, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, and sulfur dioxide into the air as they scrambled to shut down during last week's deadly winter storm, Reuters reported Sunday.

diplomacy

Despite all his short-comings, his sanctioning of this and that, and slapping tariffs on capers, and being loony, Trump actually was a better diplomat than Joe Bomber Biden... So far the pundits at the "liberal" press have missed the implication of what the Biden crew is doing  — and is about to do... But they love him because he says the right things while reading the autocue...

 

WW3 has never been so close to midnight. And Biden will be leading the final "cruzade" from behind — or under — his desk, like a mad Churchillian character in the worst of Shakespeare's play, "The Tempest", while hugging a Christian cross and praying at high speed (as much as his old legs can muster) on the rosary beads in his pocket... Meanwhile, instead of diplomacy (what is that again?), Old Joe goes for the bombs and Christ, and we all kiss our arse goodbye.
