Cynophile. 🐕 Lawyer. Was Captain Nemo on The Dead Bird. Erstwhile Aviator. Admirer of Harriet Quimby. Social Democrat. DV survivor. Frequent typos, mea culpa. No bio? No posts? No follow. No unsolicited DMs unless you are sending me money. 😁
Henry Ford receives the Grand Cross of the German Eagle from the Nazi Ambassador. It was the Nazis' highest honour for foreigners.

Oh dear, oh dear. The Sydney Morning Herald, Netanyahu's mouthpiece in Australia, is apologising for running Cathy Wilcox's cartoon. Tel Aviv was not amused. Truth hurts.

Chia bread baked. That's it for today. Next Saturday it will be pumpkin seed sourdough and English pork pies.

Apple and rhubarb pie for Christmas. Home grown Keswick Codlin apples, Sydney Red rhubarb, hand made puff pastry with butter.

Remember this? So effective it had to be taken down.

They serve up much better looking TD dinners in some prisons. More fool anyone that would pay Trump $300 for that slop.

Life is bleak under the Demented One but the Day of Reckoning will come. Have a free smile from a quokka (world's happiest animal) to help you through the day.

To borrow from Kipling: If you can keep your head about about you when others are losing theirs... it mean you're so fucking whacked in the brain you haven't a clue as to what is going on.

First time attempt at making bread in the airfryer. A bit brown on top but generally OK.

I first wrote it a couple of years ago but without that bum fluff on his face he is a deadringer for Hitler's BFF Reinhard Heydrich.

Dan Quayle would have been an improvement on the Demented Trump. He was as thick as brick but he wasn't demented or a felon and as far as we know he wasn't a pedophile.

Trump and his cult are anti-Antifa. Here are a couple of fellow travellers who were also anti-Antifa:
