Quality Rant

I love a good rant and this is a classic. I won't embed it because of the expletives used, but here it is:

Fact Check: Correct ✅

Saturday Powerball $38 Million Jackpot

This Saturday will see a rather large Lotto Powerball Jackpot by New Zealand's standards. If buying a ticket, what chance is there of winning? Please study the below graphic supplied by Lotto NZ.

You will see the chance of winning Powerball division one is 1:38,383,800.

The chance of any line winning Lotto first division is 1:3,838,380

My thinking here would be to have your favourite six numbers covered by all the power balls available; that way, if your six numbers come up, you're guaranteed the first division Powerball prize, or a share of it. In NZ, this is not so expensive as there are only 10 power balls.

UK Labour - 27 Point Lead

The UK Labour party are leading the Conservative government by 27 points in the latest polls. Lesson there for the Tories: stop trying to kill the people. 

Note the presenter in the video below avoids mentioning Reform UK, now in third place nationally. But, can they actually win any seats, or will they just be a spoiler? We are about to find out in just a matter of weeks. 

Melinda Gates Gives Jacinda Ardern $20 Million?

Interesting this,  Melinda Gates in her latest one billion dollar giveaway has named 12 individuals who will receive part of those funds, one of them being Jacinda Ardern. Each receives 20 million dollars.

"French Gates said she has also offered 12 individuals “whose work I admire their own $20 million grant-making fund” and will allow them to decide how to use the funds.

Recipients include former New Zealand prime minister Jacinda Ardern, US Olympian Allyson Felix and filmmaker Ava DuVernay."

Did Covid Vaccines Save Lives?

We were told lockdowns worked and Covid vaccines saved the day. Err...no, the vaccines didn't work, and people died:

https://metatron.substack.com/p/debunking-the-lie-that-covid-vaccines?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=1fsg91&triedRedirect=true

We now have the evidence - official, national data - that clearly shows that the under 80s “vaccinated” died at higher rates than expected.

<snip>

For the under 50s, the rate of mortality in the vaccinated exceeds expectation of a safe but ineffective intervention from inception. So, either they were jabbing the moribund all year or the jab was causing untimely demise in the younger cohorts.

The Princess of Wales

I've been avoiding talking about this but I have to repeat the question: where is Catherine, the Princess of Wales? She hasn't been seen all year. Rumours are flying around and really, we need some clarity. It is all very peculiar.

Panic at Number 10?

Was it blind panic that led Rishi Sunak to announce an election date six weeks away, right in the middle of summer?

Here are a few possibilities:

• A challenge to Sunak's leadership was looming and he wanted to go out on an election loss, not by being unseated the way predecessors were;
• War is coming against Russia, Iran and China and Sunak is running for the exit before it kicks off (this is my favourite piece of speculation);
• He heard Nigel Farage is intending to run for office, representing Reform UK, as per the embedded video below;
• Scandal is brewing, probably surrounding the British Royal Family.

I mean, Sunak made the announcement while being drenched in the rain and music was pounding away from protesters nearby. It was farcical to say the least.

Mavericks vs Timberwolves Game 1

The Dallas Mavericks defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first game of the NBA's Western Conference semifinals. It was a very tight game, but the referees made a crucial call late in the fourth quarter when they ruled Karl-Anthony Towns of the Timberwolves had committed an offensive goaltending violation off a Mike Conley shot attempt. Towns made a spectacular dunk off the missed shot, but the referees disallowed it, and the video referral upheld the original call - no basket.

Here's footage of that play: https://x.com/RGIII/status/1793476117850189898?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1793476117850189898%7Ctwgr%5Ef584226241920f84f612e56d9f7fc9e098f4cddb%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sportingnews.com%2Fau%2Fnba%2Fnews%2Fbasket-interference-karl-anthony-towns-timberwolves-mavericks%2F60d3a3087d7e8a81a1774913

This seems to be a very harsh decision that affected the outcome of the game. After Conley's shot hits the rim, the ball bounces up above the basket, but to my eye the ball is falling outside of the imaginary cylinder above the ring. In situations like this, calls are almost never made, it was an incredible play and the shot was not going in - period. What do you think?

UK General Election: Sunak Ends Speculation

Finally, the end is nigh for this weak, woke, puppet of the WEF:

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/may/22/rishi-sunak-will-call-general-election-for-july-in-surprise-move-sources

Rishi Sunak has called a surprise general election for 4 July in a high stakes gamble that will see Keir Starmer try to win power for Labour after 14 years of Conservative-led government.

Addressing the nation outside Downing Street, Sunak said it was “the moment for Britain to choose its future” as he claimed the Tories could be trusted to lead the country during a time of global instability.

Body Ambition of Middleton MA

Every so often I give a shout out to a female owned and run business. Drum roll....and I present to you Body Ambition.com. BA Fitness is located in the Boston, Massachusetts area, 206 S. Main Street, Middleton to be precise. 

BA Fitness is the brainchild of Janelle Monteiro, the winner of Miss Bikini USA in 2007. She then went on to become a WBFF Pro. Ms Monteiro has a staff of six trainers, an all-women team that can help you lose weight and get in shape. 

I've been aware of this gym for a while, and I've noticed they haven't just disappeared like so many do. They've stuck around and grown. 

The other thing I've noticed is they don't just work on the physical aspects of getting in shape. Ms Monteiro also helps with the mental aspects of achieving stage presence and poise. This is what I think differentiates her business from the others. Her advice, and the advice of her team, impart skills that can be used in every facet of life. 

Anyway, if you're in the area, or available to be taught online, give them a call and tell them who sent you (me).

My WBE status has faced challenges for years. Detectives and law enforcement officials frequently monitored me for evidence to counter my valid claim.” Customers are assured of WBE procurement compliance, she adds, thanks to Tec-Crete’s dogged adherence to Port Authority and Empire State Development audit requirements and recertification cycles.

I blogged about Ms Gisonda's business back in 2020: https://kenhorlor.blogspot.com/2020/01/women-in-concrete.html 

It's good to see her business continuing to thrive.
