Saturday Sanity Check
Your weekly vaccination against the Woke virus
I had to laugh when I heard Democrats and left wing media mocking Elon Musk for having 19-year-olds working with him in the Department of Government Efficiency.
What short memories they have.
It was only yesterday that those very people, now whinging about 19-year-olds, were demanding we listen to a Swedish school girl on the future of the planet.
Time Magazine made the 16-year-old Goblin of Doom their Person of the Year.
Hilary Clinton tweeted …
“I couldn't think of a better Person of the Year than Greta Thunberg. I am grateful for all she’s done to raise awareness of the climate crisis, and her willingness to tell hard, motivating truths. As she said today, change is coming whether you like it or not”
For emphasis Clinton tweeted #gustywomen
Remember how the leaders of the world gathered at the United Nations so that the kid with asparagus could hector them?
“You’ve stolen my dreams yap, yap, yap. How DARE you!”
These days Greta’s protesting in support of Hamas.
But the UK Times, typical of the progressive lefty media, this week mocked Musk’s team.
“They are aged 19 to 25, with no government experience — and have been asking state employees to justify their jobs.”
Maybe the Times has a point. Maybe the Times doesn’t.
But where was the Times when a 16-year-old Swede playing truant was lecturing the entire globe on energy policy?
And here’s another question … Who do you trust more in government - the current class of politicians, or a 19 year old DOGE engineer?
So one of Elon Musk’s young engineers goes by the name of “Big Balls”.
This, naturally, gave CNN producers the opportunity to create one of the greatest news straps of all time.
“Wired: DOGE Teen, Known Online as ‘Big Balls,’ Now a Govt ‘Expert’
It doesn't get much better than that.
I’m honestly now sure whether Big Balls really calls himself Big Balls, or if Big Balls is just trolling CNN.
Whatever the case, the kid had CNN’s commentator, pictured above, discussing Big Balls with a seriousness usually reserved for matters of national security …
There’s a high school graduate who has used, ah, the unfortunate nick name, ah, Big Balls online. So that would be one way that we could refer to him. Ah, he is now working at Musk’s behest.
I think it’s fair to say Big Balls is driving lefties nuts.
What amuses me is how CNN and their ilk are far more concerned about the nickname than about what Big Balls and co are revealing about the former administration’s spending priorities.
Anyway, I’ve applied to work for DOGE and I’m currently working on a funny name.
Nothing yet.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the quiet part out loud during a feisty exchange with an ABC reporter yesterday.
The PM was asked by the national broadcaster’s Alice Springs reporter if he was the “underdog” and a bit “on the nose with the electorate” heading into this year’s election.
Let’s go to the exchange …
Albanese: "You're verballing me there".
ABC Reporter: “Well, that's my job".
Albanese: "No, it's not actually. It's not the job of the ABC. There's enough other media outlets engaged in that.”
Excuse me?
What’s the job of the ALPC then? To give the Glass Jaw Magoo an easy run?
That’s clearly what Anthony Albanese expects.
This is what the world looks like in an alternative universe where Kamala Harris becomes President of the United States and signs an executive order banning women from women’s sports.
I’ll be here all week.
Statistically it is more probable to get stuck by lightning everyday of your life while winning the Division One Lotto every weekend than it is to be related to that many transgender people.
Sorry, let me correct that.
Statistically impossible, but in Hollywood it's statistically probable!
Charlize Theron has claim so many gender confused family members as a win since the alternative is to admit the truth - that she and those she loves got caught up in a destructive social contagion that caused them irreversible and immeasurable damage.
The other problem here is Theron’s claims that her kids “teach me every day”. The point of parenting is, of course, that you are meant to teach THEM every day!
Twitter is where people feel free to say what they really think. I love it.
This week Peter Dutton backed Trum’s crackdown on trans athletes. He also backed the Labor Government’s tough new laws cracking down on hate speech.
The new laws lower the threshold for a criminal conviction on hate speech from speaking with an “intent” to incite violence to speaking while “recklessly” not considering the hateful actions your words might inspire.
The new laws, supported by the Opposition leader, also include gender identity as a protected characteristic.
So … with all of that in mind … I’m just wondering if Mr Dutton’s new views on transgendered people in female sports might run afoul of Mr Dutton’s new definition of hate speech.
Asking for a friend.
A Democrat official in Michigan says she has sterilized herself to avoid getting pregnant during Trump’s crackdown on abortion.
I think we would all thank her for her service and encourage her to persuade Democrat colleagues to follow suit.
All of the people who have decided to not procreate because they think they’re helping the world ………….… are correct!
But, as always, I have questions.
Did it occur to the lady that sterilisation is a bit extreme? Abortion is not a form of contraception. There are other options. Abstinence works 100 percent of the time.
Also, why is she publicising such a deeply personal decision?
That she has sterilised herself because Trump is in the Oval Office is one thing. That she is proud of the fact and wants everyone to know is something else again!
Here’s a thought. Maybe she doesn’t want to have children. Maybe she never has. But like every good leftie, now she has someone to blame!
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said yesterday that tougher hate speech laws were necessary to “turn down the heat” currently in the community.
He told journalists …
“We need to be able to have civil discourse in this country.
“I don’t want to see the polarisation we see in some of the democracies around the world happen here. That’s why I’ll engage in the way I do, constructively with people.”
Right.
I guess we’ll all just have to wear T-shirts then?
Have a great weekend everyone.
Don't forget to tune in to Sky News Australia on Sunday at 7pm for Danica and James. We’ve got an exclusive interview with former Israeli Government spokesman Eylon Levy about Trump’s plan for Gaza. You won't want to miss it.
Great start to my Saturday. Re the hiring of young people by the Trump admin. By the time Isaac Newton had worked out the laws of. gravity, motion and invented calculus he was 26 years old Einsteins miracle year where he published his 4 ground breaking papers was 1905 when he was also 26
Most groundbreaking, world altering work is done by people before they reach 30.
The woke brigade have been given too much free rein, Time to haul them in, keep up the great work James
Great SSC James, keep them rolling.
Magoobanese! He makes me cringe, as does most of his cabinet.
I hope Dutton can find the conviction in his words & policies to win over the electorate.
Happy weekend to all & don’t forget to stay sane in the madness.
