Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder

First the fight and then after. In the previous fight where they drew, in Fury’s corner his second kept telling “Don’t be greedy” by which he meant that he was winning but don’t throw it away by being rash. In this second fight, he went for the win from the first moment. Then with the fight, a female commentator who only distracted. Could not follow the fight and was always missing the action since she could not see that Fury was ahead. She was like the American media, a partisan and not an objective observer. And then perhaps the most unusual post-match performance ever.

And if you are interested in their previous fight that ended in a draw, it is also worth a bit of a look.

You can hear the “don’t be greedy” line just as Round 2 was about to start. Sometimes greed is good.

The government screwed up and by the way the worker lost his thumb

Here’s the story – Coroanvirus: Infected nurse not told of abattoir risk – which was on the front page of The Oz. It shows a phenomenal level of incompetence by the Victorian public service. I will slightly unscramble the narrative to emphasise what it says.

There is deep concern among those close to a 60 year old nurse that the Health Department and therefore the hospital had not identified an infection in a Cedar Meats worker on April 2 as a risk to the workplace.

The Sunshine Hospital nurse was not initially required to wear appropriate personal protective equipment while treating the worker, because the hospital had not been made aware of the risks.

The nurse was infected with COVID-19 while treating a Cedar Meats worker WITH A SEVERED THUMB because authorities had not alerted the hospital.

[This statement is in the paper but not online] The Australian has been told the nurse has lost her senses of smell and taste, along with her appetite, and is feeling extremely tired.

How often does losing a thumb happen in the public sector?

It’s not the hypocrisy, it is that they know everything they say is false. They know they are not in danger and they know they are not endangering anyone else. They laugh at us, and think of us as fools.

And then there is the media to report every word as honestly and as accurately as they possibly can. Here is an excerpt from PDT’s new media person if you want to see true professionalism in action. If you are in a hurry, this is the short-form version.

Here’s the whole thing. You can watch from the above excerpt which is right at the end of the press conference and then go back to the beginning.

I vaguely remember her from the campaign. In this role she will be formidable. She understands the issues, the politics and the message she needs to get across. What remains more amazing than anything is that the left can rely on their constituency to vote for them no matter what. They have burned #MeToo to the ground and virtually not a single person among the Democrats, so far as I have been able to tell, has seen this as a reason to change the way they vote.

Socialists never let opportunities go to waste

The point I will be trying to make is that the more you tell a socialist that what they are doing will be very harmful to business, the more they will be encouraged to do whatever it is. Do you really think Daniel Andrews is trying to get the Victorian economy rolling again? He is a member of the Victorian Socialist Left faction. Does that suggest anything at all to you? It should.

Let’s begin here with this from The Age which would not lie about this: Premier’s faction loses to union-stacked rebel alliance in committee vote. And just what faction is that?

Premier Daniel Andrews’ Socialist Left powerbase ….

Mr Andrews’ Socialist Left faction ….

Let us take it as read that Daniel Andrews is a socialist as far to the left as he can possibly be.

Then there is this:

Anti–capitalism is a political ideology and movement encompassing a variety of attitudes and ideas that oppose capitalism. In this sense, anti–capitalists are those who wish to replace capitalism with another type of economic system, usually some form of socialism.

Finally, just what constitutes socialism in the modern world? From Wikipedia and obviously written by one of its fans.

Socialism is a political, social and economic philosophy encompassing a range of economic and social systems characterised by social ownership[1][2][3] of the means of production and workers’ self-management of enterprises. It includes the political theories and movements associated with such systems. Social ownership can be public, collective, cooperative or of equity While no single definition encapsulates many types of socialism, social ownership is the one common element. It aims to circumvent the inefficiencies and crises traditionally associated with capital accumulation and the profit system in capitalism.

The one common element, that is, is to get rid of the market economy, to get rid of business enterprise, to replace business with state control.

Socialists pretend to care about you but no socialist government in history has ever improved the circumstances of the people over whom they ruled. Not Lenin, not Stalin, not Mao, not Pol Pot, not Castro, not Maduro. They run on hatred and envy.

In Victoria, there has been such a phenomenal increase in waste and debt. Ask about our new train line. Learn about the desal plant. Find out about the metro tunnel.

The $11 billion Metro Tunnel’s independent cost advisers have warned its financial backers the project could face many millions of dollars in extra costs and months of delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Socialists only bring ruin in their wake. They cannot manage an economy nor can they deal with a free people. So long as there are viable parties that exist to call them out and a political system that stands in their way. Until then, they show only pretend concern. We are not called Victoriastan for nothing.

“Please Do  Not Feed the Animals”

Once in a while we just have to stand back in awe of government .
The Food Stamp Program,  administered by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, is proud to be distributing the greatest amount
of free Meals and Food Stamps  ever, to 46 million people.

Meanwhile, the National Park Service,  administered by the U.S.
Department of the Interior, asks us “Please Do  Not Feed the Animals.”
Their stated reason for the policy is because   “The animals will grow
dependent on handouts and will not learn to take care of themselves.”

Thus ends today’s lesson in  irony.

It wasn’t the flu, it was YOU

From The Australian: Morrison brings Ardern into national cabinet in trans-Tasman solidarity:

Ms Ardern will take a seat alongside Mr Morrison and the state and territory leaders at Tuesday’s meeting to discuss ways to allow a quick return to travel between the two countries and to kickstart businesses in the region that have been devastated by COVID-19.

We have not been devastated by COVID-19. We have been devastated by a stupid, panicky government without a brain in its head or any obvious sense and judgement. We could have taken the same road as Sweden. We could have done whatever it takes to protect those most at risk while leaving the rest of us out of lockup.

Whatever it was, it has come and virtually gone. It is time, without delay, to open things up. But no. YOU decided to go the whole way at a cost of $4billion per day and are still mulling it over. You are the ones responsible. If you are going to play around with this Invasion-of-Privacy App of yours, and delay the recovery, it will be YOU and no one else who is responsible. Since you can take off these restraints any time you like, it is YOU, the Liberal-National Party Coalition that is primarily responsible for the enormous harm that has been done to our lives and the economy.

And since nothing you can do, nothing you can do at all, will prevent whatever it was coming back, if you are still going to threaten us with going back into lockup, the economy will never really start up again, only those bits that can easily open and shut since no one can now trust your judgement.

Does anyone really think the Wuhan virus didn’t start in Wuhan?

AND THIS: Mike Pompeo contradicts US spy agency, says ‘enormous evidence’ coronavirus originated in Chinese lab. Also in The Oz.

Since it’s from the Secretary of State, the underlying inference is that it wasn’t necessarily just an accident.

“China behaved like authoritarian regimes do. It attempted to conceal and hide and confuse. It employed the World Health Organisation as a tool to do the same … the Australians agree with that. You hear the Europeans beginning to say the same thing. I think the whole world is united in understanding that China brought this virus to the world,’ Mr Pompeo said….

Mr Pompeo did not say whether he believed the virus was leaked from the lab accidentally or intentionally.

____________ Original Post Below

That one’s from China laughing at us. They have more than a billion people living worse than all but the most downtrodden in our societies. But the Government of China is a menace because they can pay anyone off since they have oodles of money and we have plenty in our societies that will sell us out. Open any paper or turn on the news and they are everywhere, although some may even do it for free. A million or two is quite a large amount in anyone’s life. To the Chinese government, a million or two is petty cash.

Let’s look at the other side, starting with this: Greek ‘Borat’ Returns To Explain Phase 2 Of China’s World Domination Plot. Language alert. NSFW.

More seriously, this is Sen Marco Rubio from a year ago.

Plague or no plague, China is a totalitarian state that can be counted upon to lie to the full extent we see that same kind of lying by the American media.

Media = Liars. The only issue is the American election in November. Daniel Andrews and the rest of the usual gang of idiots are just playing along.

AND THEN THERE’S THE AUSTRALIAN CONNECTION: What to make of this: Coronavirus NSW: Dossier lays out case against China bat virus program from The Daily Telegraph:

It can also be revealed the Australian government trained and funded a team of Chinese scientists who belong to a laboratory which went on to genetically modify deadly coronaviruses that could be transmitted from bats to humans and had no cure, and is now the subject of a probe into the origins of COVID-19….

Key figures of the Wuhan Institute of Virology team, who feature in the government dossier, were either trained or employed in the CSIRO’s Australian Animal Health Laboratory where they conducted foundational research on deadly pathogens in live bats, including SARS, as part of an ongoing partnership between the CSIRO and the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

This partnership continues to this day, according to the website of the Wuhan ­Institute of Virology, despite concerns the research is too risky.

Much more on Australia at the link. There’s an agenda here, which is the only thing I would be willing to say with certainty. Whose it is and what it is only time might tell.

The Chinese deny that the Wuhan Virus comes from China but there is no doubt they had it first. That in the US Nancy Pelosi and the House of Representatives was in the middle of impeaching the president is perhaps incidental but it was nevertheless a distraction. There is all the same endless evidence that the plague began in China and spread from there. But there are millions who prefer to believe otherwise, and prefer that all bad things can be attributed to Donald Trump, so there is an audience out there for all of this.

But plague or no plague, China is a totalitarian state that can be counted upon to lie to the full extent we see that same kind of lying by the American media.
