Both meant to be great movies. Anatomy of a Fall, the sort of movie my wife loves.

Zone of Interest a great insight into the other side of the fence. If you've seen the documentary about the photo albums of the SS Officers at Auschwitz it would complement that. ( Complement with an "e" )

That ain’t Joe. Just sayin’ 😉

I haven't seen Joe looking like he is fully awake for quite some time, maybe the person whose post mentioned a mask has something! I wonder how he will get up off his knee, also how he got down there!

James, thank you for keeping us up to date with some of the craziness that going on. Saturday Sanity check is a great read and look forward to it

THe Movie Industry was largely founded by immigrant Jews and now those in the industry are turning on them. The industry that produced so many memorable movies is now reduced to churning out woke trash

Britain gave the world modern law, a parliamentary system representing the people, abolishment of slavery including reparations, provided a haven for migrants from across the world and now many of these migrants are turning on the country and its institutions that has offered them so much

The Countrt that gave us presidents like THomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln , has now given us a bumbling clot like Joe Biden as the leader of the free world

And tonight we will have Queers for Palenstine parading around Sydney!!!

Ah, that probably explains why Sydney didn’t turn up for Ken Ham’s and Martyn Iles’ ‘Living in Babylon’ series. The spirit in that city wouldn’t have them.

It's been a long time since I saw a great Hollywood movie! I've started watching foreign films at the cinema. Anatomy of a Fall was good. And Friday night I saw The Zone of Interest ... won't be everyone's cup of tea. But I thought it was one of the most powerful movies I've ever seen

Thank you for drawing attention to the movie "The Zone of Inerest" I hadn't heard of it, sounds very interesting! Just found it is coming to my local cinema in Merimbula in a couple of weeks, not many movies worth going to see, this sounds like worth the visit ☺️ Really enjoy your articles, Thank you!

Queers for Palestine but not for Aussie cops; go figure?! Step right up folks, everyone’s a winner (except those we don’t like on the day)…so inclusive, not!!

Please keep the Saturday Sanity Checks coming James…

Thanks Andrew - interesting information, as a history buff I’m always keen to learn some new facts. I was unaware of Cook and the French. Indeed, a worthy explorer entitled to a statue. Shame on those in local government (and Federal govt), as well as our education system who don’t teach our true and actual history.

We were taught the difference between Capt. Cook and Arthur Phillip /the Endeavour and First Fleet in primary school(my school years being 1950-1960 ---when my education started )I am prepared to bet that a lot of "teachers" in primary schools would know this.

Addendum to above . "teachers" would NOT know this.

The only people in the world with a legitimate complaint against Captain James Cook would be the French Quebec Canadians. Cook did the impossible and charted a route up the dangerous river, which allowed the British army to get up the river. The soldiers were all gaged ( so they couldn't scream if they fell)and ordered to silently climb the cliffs and unexpectedly attack the heavily defended French city from a side that was supposed to be safe from attack. Without Cooks charting the river the French may not have been defeated and so modern Canada might not exist as 1 country.

Cooks experiments with ordering his ships crew on pain of punishment if they refused to eat sour crout, ie vitamin C, resulted in his years long trip around the world resulted in him safely bringing all his crew home again and in good health with none suffering from scurvy or death. Many other previous Captains had had many or most of their crews die from scurvy. His results changed navy history. The British navy after Cook fed all sailors and passengers lime juice( rich in Vit C) to keep them healthy, allowing the British navy to dominate the world and saving hundreds of thousands of lives from scurvy.

His charts of the areas he discovered and mapped were so accurate that N Z only made replacement charts a few years ago.

His scientific intrests and help to Joseph Banks resulted in a great growth in knowledge about plants, animals and marine life.

One of the greatest ships Captains and explorers in all history.

I listened to a recording of David Wilkerson some time in the 1980's titled "A Call to Repentance". How we need that today. The churches need to be trumpeting A CALL TO REPENTANCE. If we don't stand against this evil, it will get worse. If Fred Nile was marching with a cross in the mardi gras tonight, and if I were in Sydney, I would be walking beside him! Something has to stop this filth!

It took God's judgment, fire from the sky, to stop the filth of Sodom and Gomorrah. Regarding the G&L Mardi Gras, I admire the patience of God.

Thanks, James, for my first and hopefully not last laugh today. I mean that photo of poor old demented Joe with that towering black she/male behind him is like something out of slapstick comedy. He (the black man) stands out like an elephant in the room. Incredible!

As for Britain, it sold its soul a long time ago. Its leader doesn’t have the guts to call a spade a spade and point the finger at violent, intolerant, militant Islam and immigration.

And as for the rainbow cult, I’m really sick of them shoving their intolerant godlessness down people’s throats. The mere fact that they proudly call themselves the ‘Pride’ movement tells us everything we need to know about their identity and mental problems. Talk about shaking your fist in God’s face! That’s a dangerous game to play. We all know who the losers already are.

It’s a very sick world!

Remember Sodom and Gomorrah, oh Sydney and Canberra.

That photo of Biden - he is looking too good for the real one, must be the other one who wears a mask when Biden is having a really bad day

Expand full comment

and kneeling on one knee? is that a nod to the BLM movement?

I too have wondered about Biden’s doppelgänger. Nothing like a mask for a disguise.

I see what you have done there James. Once again you have blown out of the water the illogical logic of the woke, the lefties, the radicals, the islamists and a lot of confused hypocritical people, simply by using logic. Well done.

Whos's Lake Riley? It all absurd. Unfettered immigration is the reason Britain is falling apart.

The police should be cheering that they are not allowed to march in the Mardi Gras. I had to attend Wollongong Hospital for an appointment yesterday-There wee sign saying happy Mardi Gras and other sickening stuff about diversity etc. I wondered if they were touting for business.

THe murderer ( alleged ) an illegal immigrant from Venezuela, entered the US on 8th Sept 2022 and was paroled and" released for further processing" which means enjoy your life in the US . 31st August 2023, he was arrested in NYC for acting to interfere with a minor under 17 and motor vehicle offences . He bolted but NYC is a sanctuary city so nothing much could be done. October 2023 caught shoplifting in Georgia

Amazingly the alleged murderer has declined to apply for bail

He has a brother, in the US also an illegal immigrant running up a string of offences.

Oh Yeah? Looks like the US and OZ are on the same train.
