It was on the 6th of December 6, 2017 that President Trump recognised Jerusalem, the ancient capital of the Jewish people, as the capital of the State of Israel.
It was a momentous decision and one that the then Prime Minister of Australia, Scott Morrison followed in 2018.
Yet the new Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong announced on Tuesday the Labor Government was going back on the former prime minister's decision to recognise West Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

The thinking classes in America want to emulate the theocratic lunacy of the Sixteenth Century. They have become everything they used to despise as cruel, unjust, and crazy.The world turns and things change. Everybody knows that. But the turnings and changings throw off sparks, which light fires. The intellectual turnings of the European Renaissance lit fires in the lumbering bureaucracy of Roman Catholicism, burdened as it was with abstruse theology larded with lingering, age-old superstition. Witch hunts, inquisitions, and persecutions ensued, even as the authority of the old order wobbled and frayed. The gross cruelties of the people in charge didn’t bolster their prestige, and a few centuries later you see the result: belief is dead.
The suspicion is that this is an effort to hide the fact that the COVID shots have resulted in soaring cancer rates. The Ethical Skeptic also takes a deep dive into the data in “Houston, We Have a Problem, Part 1,” on TheEthicalSkeptic.com.1
As noted in his article, seven out of the 11 International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes tracked by the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics — including cancer — saw sharp upticks starting in the first week of April 2021.

There is nothing unusual about today’s floods, fires, droughts, homelessness and hunger – they have always been part of the human story.
But satellite technology allows us to track them better and our world-wide media revels in disaster-reporting, bringing tearfully tragic scenes into every living room, every night. Population growth means that more people are affected by weather extremes, but there is no evidence that floods and droughts are getting worse.
A few weeks ago, Redhead, My Mum, lost her ironing board to the big laundry in the sky. It passed from a non covid-related injury. Its legs just collapsed and it fell to the floor to iron no more. It was not vaccinated and it had never worn a mask.
It simply became a deceased board that had become bored of life.
So why am I writing an article about a dead ( deceased ) ironing board? Because I volunteered to buy a replacement for the fallen servant who had served so well. And that is where it all went wrong....
Social media has been in an uproar since a member of European Parliament posted a video of a hearing in which a Pfizer director admitted the company never tested whether its Covid mRNA vaccine prevents transmission prior to its approval for emergency use.
Though the fact that Covid mRNA vaccines do not prevent transmission was, of course, abundantly clear from the data soon after their implementation, this myth was a primary justification for vaccine passes and a primary cause of the unprecedented venom launched at those who refused Covid vaccines throughout 2021 and continuing through today.

It is a funny thing. Ever since we were children, we had an eye on the prize. The balloon, the Christmas present, the bike or toy we had always wanted.
During the clot shot years, people had their eye on the balloon: that overseas trip that they could not take if they were not vaccinated. The job they needed to feed their families.
Many people didn't listen to the words because they were too busy looking at the reward that they would get for being compliant.
And, too often, the words were weasel words. They were not honest. They were full of lies, treachery and deceit.
The roots of socialism's tragedies can be found in Marx's famous Manifesto.
I recently had occasion to re-read Karl Marx’s seminal Communist Manifesto. It had been nearly twenty years since my first reading of the text in graduate school and I remembered little beyond class antagonisms, Marx’s materialism, and the exploitation of the proletariat. But the ongoing crisis in Venezuela led me to once again reflect on the Socialist and Communist Philosophy underneath the unfolding crisis.
One day, I took my late Dad for a drive in the country. He was 87 years old at that time. He passed at 89.
It was on a mountain top. A small mountain but Dad rather liked it. And so did I.
It was about 10 years ago.
Dad and I looked out across and we saw the sea. We saw the vast expanse that was the Coral Sea and having imagined the Pacific Ocean beyond. .and we looked at it and said " we fought for this. "
Yes, he did. And lest we forget this.
I can still see it now..

After some years, the wife decided that they should get a new pup. A terrier cross. Anyone who has had a Jack Russell or any kind of terrier will know that they eat energizer batteries for breakfast and only have two speeds: fast and really fast. Terriers are a mix of Formula 1 and Demolition Derby.
A few months in, hubby is unhappy and complaining that the little fella is a handful, too energetic, too demanding and too tiring.
All I could say was “ at least it’s not a woman. “

I nearly got shot a few years ago - not by a gun but by a shower head on the rampage. And I can tell you it was one very angry showerhead. Here is my story of how I nearly died - Death by Showerhead.
It was a spring morning and I had stripped off and stepped in. I had noticed, over the past few months that I had to turn the taps on more than I previously did. I stood under the dribble that was coming out of the shower rose and thought to myself that even my shower was depressed. After all, there is not much to be cheerful about these days and it is not to be unexpected that even household appliances and fixtures and fittings could be suffering from the misery of recent years.
