This is how you do it.  Katie Hopkins, sort of the UK’s version of Tucker Carlson, is very much a controversial personality, first gaining attention as a contestant on the UK version of The Apprentice about 14 years ago.  Since then, she’s been carrying the water for the extreme right in Europe writing columns and talking on radio and television.

As part of a new program to improve the economy by allowing television and movie crews into the country, Hopkins was granted a special visa into Australia to participate in the Australian version of the television show, Big Brother.  Under Australian quarantine rules, she was required to quarantine in a hotel for 14 days.  Under these rules she was to stay in her room and food would be brought to her.  Also under those rules, she was to wait 30 seconds after a door knock and then answer the door wearing a mask to retrieve the food brought to her.  She thought it would be really funny to not do that, but to immediately answer the door sans not only a mask, but also clothing.  AND she videoed herself doing that and then posted the video on social media.  She was trying to attract attention and draw a reprimand so she could then publicize government tyranny.

Well, she drew more than attention and a reprimand.  Officials from New South Wales arrested her, fined her $1,000 Australian dollars, and promptly put her on a plane back to the UK.  Australia is having none of the anti-science, anti-vax nonsense, and is actively working to protect its citizens, especially from idiots like Hopkins.  Oh, and here’s the best part – Big Brother Australia fired her from the show.

Boom.

Breaking from Australia – In newly released documents from Australia, the New South Wales police board recommended against a bid by a Trump partnership to build a casino in Sydney due to his mafia connections.  The documents, made public today, quoted the police board as saying a casino owned and run by the Trump partnership would “be dangerous”.

One more drip in a thousand drips becoming a tsunami.

Okay, I’m as confused as a billy goat on Astroturf.

Are we going to war with Mexico, Iran, Australia, or UC Berkley?

I suppose it’s only fair that Trump told President Peña Nieto that he has “bad hombres” in his country because in Mexico they say we have El Presidente del Inferno.

And I have to tell you that it takes a real special kind of goofy to get into a fight with the Prime Minister of Australia.  Somebody show Trump a map so he can see that China is an obvious trading partner with them. And they need stuff. Shuddup.

I’m guess I’m glad we put Iran on notice. I dunno, though, because I have no idea what “on notice” means. Are we gonna make them cry us a river or something?

And we’re going to cut federal funding to UC Berkley because after hours of peaceful demonstrations some damfool guys showed up and got violent?

We don’t even know who these guys are.  They may be Trump supporters trying to cause trouble.  Look, the speaker they were protesting, Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos, has been banned from Twitter for cyber-bullying.  Not even Trump has been banned from Twitter for cyber-bullying.

Look, you don’t punish a whole institution for the actions of a few.  I hope Iran, Mexico, and Australia know that, too.
