Gotta Love Those Aussies

Some of these guys are a hoot.



Australian plane passenger checks in can of beer




A man has successfully checked in a can of beer as his only luggage on a domestic flight in Australia.
The man, identified in media as Dean Stinson, said he and a friend had come up with the idea as a joke.
The can arrived, tagged and unopened, as the first item on the baggage carousel at Perth Airport after a four-hour journey from Melbourne.
The airline, Qantas, said it did not encourage other travellers to follow suit.
"This guy's done it and he's won the internet for the day, so we're happy to move on," a spokesman said in a statement to the BBC.

Electric Powered Sedan Prototype Built By Lucid Hits 235 MPH Top Speed During Testing

You read that right, a Sedan.

Capable of holding four people.

I don't give a shit who you are, 235 miles an hour is fucking fast on the ground. That is Formula 1 car fast.

So fast, that if this thing had an internal combustion engine in it instead of batteries and an electric motor, it would have been one of the top 5 fastest production cars in the world last year.

China Says North Korea Not Their Responsibility.



Then step away and we will take care of the problem, right?



China says 'China responsibility theory' on North Korea has to stop



China hit back on Tuesday in unusually strong terms at repeated calls from the United States to put more pressure on North Korea, urging a halt to what it called the "China responsibility theory", and saying all parties needed to pull their weight.

U.S President Trump took a more conciliatory tone at a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Saturday, but he has expressed some impatience that China, with its close economic and diplomatic ties to Pyongyang, is not doing enough to rein in North Korea.

That feeling has become particularly acute since Pyongyang launched an intercontinental ballistic missile that some experts believe could have the range to reach Alaska, and parts of the U.S. West Coast.

Asked about calls from the United States, Japan and others for China to put more pressure on North Korea, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said it was not China ratcheting up tension and the key to a resolution did not lie with Beijing.

"Recently, certain people, talking about the Korean peninsula nuclear issue, have been exaggerating and giving prominence to the so-called 'China responsibility theory,'" Geng told a daily news briefing, without naming any parties.

"I think this either shows lack of a full, correct knowledge of the issue, or there are ulterior motives for it, trying to shift responsibility," he added.

China has been making unremitting efforts and has played a constructive role, but all parties have to meet each other half way, Geng said.

"Asking others to do work, but doing nothing themselves is not OK," he added. "Being stabbed in the back is really not OK."

While China has been angered by North Korea's repeated nuclear and missile tests, it also blames the United States and South Korea for worsening tension with their military exercises.



Did you know that the Korean War has never officially ended?


Did you also know that when our fighting forces were over there either getting shot at or freezing to death that China sent thousands of troops into North Korea to help them fight against us?

Did you know that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un doesn't take a dump without China knowing about it?

If China says that North Korea is not their responsibility then all they need to do is step the fuck away and we will take that fat little fucker right the hell out of the nuclear arms game tomorrow and they damn well know it.

But that isn't going to happen.

China may be pissed off at us but they have been supporting North Korea since long before I was ever even a gleam in my Daddy's eye.
To say that they are not responsible for the shenanigans Kim Jong Un and his father before him have been pulling is disingenuous at best.

It's called Material Support Mr. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman dude and you have been doing it for seventy years now at least.

So take your indignant little ass right back to where you came from and try to come up with something not quite so laughable next time.

George Soros The Target Of An Official Government Smear Campaign, By His Own Country!

Looks to me like some people have finally had enough of his meddling.


Hungary vilifies financier Soros with crude poster campaign


Giant posters vilifying the financier George Soros have gone up all over Hungary - the crudest step in the latest campaign by the rightwing Fidesz government against the 86-year-old Hungarian-born philanthropist.
Many Hungarian Jews fear that open or concealed anti-Semitism lies behind the campaign. The government strenuously denies this.
The posters show a grinning Mr Soros beside the words, "Don't let Soros have the last laugh".
In smaller letters at the top of the poster is the message, "99% reject illegal immigration."
The government has spent an estimated 5.7bn forints (€19m; £16.3m; $21m) on the campaign, which follows an earlier series of poster campaigns and "national consultations" designed to stir up public feeling against refugees.

Even Israel is getting in a few shots.


What appears to have irritated the Hungarian government most is a series of statements by Mr Soros over the past two years in favour of controlled immigration to Europe, the US and Canada.
In an article in the journal Foreign Policy in July 2016, Mr Soros suggested that Europe might accept 300,000 refugees a year directly from Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon. He also sees selected immigration as one of the solutions to labour shortages in many fields in Europe, from IT to care homes.
Like the Hungarian government, however, he emphasised that refugee resettlement and relocation programmes must be voluntary, not compulsory.
Is the campaign anti-Semitic?
The Hungarian government also stands accused of whipping up anti-Semitism with the anti-Soros posters. Mr Soros has Jewish roots, and as a nine-year-old during the Holocaust in German-occupied Hungary, he helped warn Jewish families about imminent deportations.
Many government posters have had anti-Semitic graffiti scrawled on them. The posters on the floors of Budapest trams were deliberately placed so passengers would have to tread on Mr Soros's face.
Andras Heisler, leader of the Jewish community in Hungary, personally appealed to Prime Minister Viktor Orban to end the poster campaign.
Mr Orban rejected the appeal and suggested that Hungarian Jews do more to oppose Muslim immigration to Europe.
The controversy is already overshadowing the planned visit of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Hungary on 18 July.
Israel's ambassador to Hungary initially denounced the anti-Soros campaign, saying it "sows hatred and fear", but then Israel's foreign ministry issued its own statement critical of George Soros. According to Israeli reports, the change in tone had been ordered by Mr Netanyahu's office.
The ministry complained that the philanthropist "continuously undermines Israel's democratically elected governments by funding organisations that defame the Jewish state and seek to deny it the right to defend itself".

I'm sure none of this phases the old bastard but it is encouraging to see the pushback against his relentless scheming.
