On the 19th of February 1942, the isolated northern city of Darwin in Australia was bombed by the Japanese. Back then, it was a small isolated outpost at the top end of Australia and represented the last post of defence of Australia against the Japanese. It is probably still the last post in Australian Defense. The Port of Darwin is leased to China. 

While our forces, along with the Americans, defended our Nation against the threat from " the yellow peril " our boys slogged their guts out on the Kokoda Trail, in the deserts of North Africa and the horror of the European War. Our country was left rather defenceless and we mucked on, carried on and did our bit to make do and mend. As did our Kiwi mates, our Yankee mates and our Pommy mates.

Now THAT, WAS WHEN WE WERE ALL IN IT TOGETHER? That was when the words meant something

I mean it really bothers me these millions of Texas families are suffering. I couldn’t sleep actually...

So I woke up this morning, made coffee and got to researching.

I started pulling Biden’s EO’s this morning and I found something buried in the Keystone Pipeline EO..... way towards the end of the doc.

It turns out that the same day Biden shut down the Keystone Pipeline, he also lifted the security on our power grid for 90 days (Trump’s EO the year prior secured our power grid by giving China no access.)

As thousands flee Victoria to escape the tyranny of Comrade Dan, there is a fallout that no one appears to be admitting to yet - the impact on the workers of hospitality industry-reliant areas in Queensland.

I may be wrong of course. I have been known to be wrong from time to time. But what I am seeing and hearing up here in the Pluck a duck banana republic zone is that things are about to get really worrying.

In my small town, rents are skyrocketing as the exodus builds. New arrivals from the southern states are increasing and, as leases come up for renewal, the incumbent tenants are being told to pay up or piss off.

I saw a photo of a frozen ceiling fan in Texas and it made me reflect on a time in South Korea, over 20 years ago. It is all very well to be sitting in a warm home in Queensland and think " that's pretty awful " but, to actually be there, is entirely different.

I was teaching English in Seoul and the whole school had been laid low by a very bad flu. Teachers and students were falling like flies and I, alas, joined them. I could not work so I went home to my apartment to ride it out. I had paid extra to live alone: probably, as it transpired, a very bad mistake. Because, as I got sicker and sicker, I could not get out for food or replenish my bottled water supplies. I just lay in bed, feeling like the dark winter of Joe Biden's nightmare was about to come true.

What makes pretty young white girls decide to do ignore their instincts and form close relationships with men who are violent thugs?  Is it a form of giving the finger to their parents? A f##k " you moment? Or is it that they are constantly told that it is just and kind to embrace diversity, forgetting that the embrace does not have to be literal?
