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?
An 18-year-old animal shelter volunteer in Colorado was allegedly beaten to death in a parking lot by her ex-boyfriend, authorities said.

So, a young parliamentary female staffer who has worked in several positions in high security Parliament House Canberra offices enters a ministerial office after working hours, unauthorised, with a male staffer after a night out. She is discovered by a security officer half naked in the ministerial office and she claimed that she had been raped. But she refused to call the Australian Federal Police and report the matter.
As the world descends into a quagmire of guilt, fear and apologies for things that have offended someone somewhere, I must confess to wondering if our current Governments, media and social media are actually worshipping failure and expecting success.
Good things happen when you do your best. You can only succeed if you TRY. Make an effort.
Lefties are losers. They lose in life and in their personal relationships and their lives in general. They don't work, or at least, not in meaningful employment. They are normally unemployed or are paid to sponge at a place of work dishing out advice to others on how everyone else should live their lives.
It is midnight at the Australian Open Tennis. The stadium is full of people enjoying a well played exciting tennis match. They have been watching for hours breathing the same air , shouting their special player on, all in the same mood enjoying themselves. Life up until the Tennis started was one of lockdowns , neighbour sniping on neighbour , police issuing fines for so called wrong doings. In other words miserable!
In 1944, George Orwell wrote a letter to a man named Noel Willmett, who had asked Orwell about his views on " leader worship. " Orwell replied with a rather lengthy letter.
The central message he conveyed led him to write his now famous book : 1984. Life in the modern world is all too starkly resembling the world that George Orwell portrayed and President Trump is still fighting Big Brother and Newspeak, The Ministry for Truth and the band of traitors who seek to control us through fear and misinformation.
Is Trump a fuhrer or a Ghandi? Is he a victim or a perpetrator?

It has been a good many years since I read " Crime and Punishment " by Russian author Fyodor Dostoyevsky.
It is essentially the story of a man who does something terrible, lives to regret it and how WE, as humans, are ultimately responsible for how we live our lives. We may seek redemption but we cannot turn the clock back and undo what we have done.
All we can do is live with the consequences, try not to repeat our mistakes and hope like hell that those around us cut us some slack if we rectify our behaviour and start being productive members of society.

The study, published at the end of last month by a team of researchers in Brazil, ‘Sorting pain out of salience: assessment of pain facial expressions in the human fetus’, found a difference in response between those fetuses exposed to a painful stimulus (an anaesthetic injection) and those who were not.

Is there anywhere this woman hasn’t been?
Her appearances at key moments in history make me wonder if indeed she is the female Doctor Who and that other British bitch is just an imposter?
To those people who haven’t got a clue what I am talking about, AOC says that Dr Who is a documentary series that commenced in 1960 and was filmed by the British Broadcasting Corporation. It followed the real life adventures of a time travelling alien known only as Dr Who. We are now learning that the Doctor is AOC. And you heard it here first folks. I have even beaten Babylon Bee.
We all know how annoying those pesky telemarketers are. They cleverly conceal their Australian accents by pretending to be Philipino or Indian but they don't fool me. They are always named Kevin or Jimmy or Tiffany, but never Raj or Aanah. But, whoever they are and wherever they call home, one thing is for sure: we are heartily sick of hearing their voices on the end of the telephone and telling us that our internet is about to be cut off.
To be honest, I have been wondering if that is where Monty went wrong. Kevin or Jimmy rang and said that the internet was being cut off and Mont probably abused the well intentioned telemarketer and slammed the phone down. A few hours later, the phone and internet were gone.
Yes, let’s be honest. The days when the Italians, Greeks, Poles, Hungarians, Poms and Chinese…
