Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt is still missing $18 million after falling victim to a fraud that began over a decade ago. 9News

“I’m not broke, but it’s definitely put a damper on me,” he said. “It was for my future. Everybody knows I have three kids. I’m still looking out for my parents, and I still want to live very well.”

“There is nothing to say at this stage, given what is happening,” he was quoted as saying. “We have met with persons, and we are dealing with certain matters.” Jamaican authorities have requested help from the FBI and other unidentified international experts, adding that clients were given false statements regarding their balances as part of the alleged fraud. Officials have not yet said how many clients overall were affected and how much money in total is missing.

In an aside with reporters, he said: “I’m just trying to focus on my family and trying not to think too much about it because it’s a difficult situation.”

Phillip Noyce ‘smearing this country’ with an ‘untrue’ story: Andrew BoltSky News host Andrew Bolt says Film Director Phillip Noyce was appointed Officer of the Order of Australia for “smearing this country” with an “untrue” story of the stolen generations. “This film was shown to millions of Australian school children and was in fact, almost completely untrue.” Mr Bolt said. “It shows racist white police violently stealing a happy and healthy aboriginal girl because the chief protector of aborigines in Western Australia wanted to breed out aborigines. “Molly had not been stolen; a policeman asked her aboriginal stepfather if he could take her, and the man nodded yes. “The chief protector had been warned by a local woman the girl was running wild and was at risk of sexual abuse from white men.” .... AND vilification of rabbits !!! Please return your award to sender.And please read some history books

Australia gives ‘unbelievable opportunities’ to everyone: Andrew BoltSky News host Andrew Bolt says Australia is a country that gives “unbelievable opportunities” to everyone, and race doesn't have to hold people back. “When you see the success here of some migrant groups, Indians, Chinese, you know this is overwhelmingly a country that does give unbelievable opportunities to everyone,” Mr bolt said. “So if some other ethnic groups they don't do so well, the issue might lie more in their culture than the broader Australian one.” I would like to hear from someone who experiences racism on a daily basis. Andrew Bolt is not an expert in this subject. When race holds anyone back, irrespective of its source, it never had the legs to endure. Successive generations have more sense than their predecessors to manage the past’s impact. Don’t make the issue baggage, please 🙏🏽

‘Our western culture offers so much better’ for aboriginal people: Andrew BoltSky News host Andrew Bolt says aboriginal people have “gained a lot of things” living in western culture as it offers a “much better” lifestyle. “What our western culture offers is so much better; the food, the comfort, the electricity, the housing, the medicine, the cars, the hospitals, the welfare net, it’s all infinitely better,” Mr Bolt said. “So wouldn't it be more honest, to say that aborigines, yes, they did suffered terribly in some ways from colonisation but in other ways gained a lot of things they'd now never give up.” Nah back to the Stoneage. Nothing wrong with shitting in the woods and wiping your arse with leaves. Down side no booze or meth. The overreaching by some sections of Australian society, largely on behalf of a previously dispossessed people, & with little effort from the latter to do so themselves, is a recipe for failure. Celebrating Australia Day doesn’t denigrate as much as it lauds. Sense please 🙏🏽

President Biden joins the Nichols family and calls to protest ‘peacefully’White House Correspondent and Washington Examiner Christian Datoc says President Biden put out a statement joining the Nichols family and urging people to protest but to do it “peacefully”. “This all feels quite similar to the George Floyd and Breanna Taylor protests that of course took place during coronavirus when widespread violence and destruction were hand in hand with a lot of these protests,” Mr Datoc told Sky News Australia. 'Pushing back on these police killings of black Americans in particular, it's sad we're still dealing with this, but it's ugly sides of American history that the country is grappling with.” Biden’s insurrection moment.God save America. So the dems what to spend more money on the other countries, people kill people guns don't, besides where are the young getting them, from black markets that biden is letting into America. 'Peacefully' if this was trump dems would blame Republicans.
