The blurred out fellow in the hat to the right of Hoges is actually my brother Roger.
to ethnically cleanse Australia, “hundreds of foreigners will be recruited to Australia’s navy, army and air force as the federal government looks to Five Eyes allies to fill a shortage.” This is from Channel 9 News, the place I used to work. “The recruitment drive came as our newest military assets arrived, also from overseas. A trio of supersonic stealth fighters from the US have touched down at Williamtown RAAF Base to complete a fleet of 72 new F-35As.” Will foreigners be flying these jets too?
Britons – they can fight even in their pajamas.
“From January 1, Americans, Britons and Canadians will be able to enlist in the ADF, provided they’ve lived here for 12 months and haven’t served in a foreign army for the past two years. Those who get in will have to apply for Australian citizenship.” which of course will be instantly granted. “Americans” “Britons” and “Canadians” doesn’t mean ethnic homogeneity either, it’s probably the opposite.
“Canadians”
The UK Independent has a story today about the Taliban banning windows..”The Taliban have banned windows in residential buildings to stop women from being seen while they are at home in Afghanistan. Hibatullah Akhundzada, Taliban leader, ordered that buildings should not have windows looking into places where a woman could be sitting or standing.The order applies to both new buildings as well as already existing ones, according to a four-clause decree posted on social media site X late on Saturday.” How progressive of him. At least he’s using social media. I would have expected this weird decree to go out via carrier pigeon.
The Window Nazi – “No windows for you!”
At least this will cut down the window taxes, if they still have them. That started in England in the 18th century. A Window tax was a property tax based on the number of windows in a house. It was a significant social, cultural, and architectural force in England, France, and Ireland during the 18th and 19th centuries. I’m glad they don’t have it here. I’d be broke in a week with this joint. There was a strong agitation in England in favor of the abolition of the tax during the winter of 1850–51, and it was repealed on 24 July 1851, and a tax on inhabited houses substituted. The Scottish and Irish window taxes were abolished at the same time.
The window tax didn’t really go away as you can see. It just became something else. In this dystopian state, the worthless governor Kathy Hochul has put in place a congestion tax to begin early next year. Motorists will be charged a flat fee to drive into the city beginning Jan 5. The MTA can begin collecting the first-in-the-nation congestion fee to enter Manhattan south of 60th Street on that day, following a federal judge’s ruling in Newark, NJ. Wow, we’re becoming just like London.
I borrowed this map from MSN.com so you know what places to avoid.
Park in Brooklyn or above 60th street and catch the subway.
Progressives have never seen a tax they didn’t like.
