For 26 long years the UN and their tame media have promoted their expensive annual climate carnivals. This month they will flock to Glasgow for COP 26 but they will not arrive on Shetland ponies, penny farthings or sailing boats - hydro-carbon energy will get most of them there and keep them warm and well fed.

"I love everything that's old: old friends, old times, old manners, old books, old wine," says Mr. Hardcastle in Goldsmith's She Stoops to Conquer. I am sure that Hardcastle speaks for many of us. It's fun to remember.
Australia has decided it’s best to accelerate the production of a more capable, integrated, nuclear-powered submarine platform with the US and the UK. Apparently, this is going to keep us safe from those pesky Chinese. It has left the French legless with rage.
I can't see the CCP shaking in their boots at the thought of the mighty Australian navy in a decade or two. It's a funny thing but I doubt that it will matter a great deal if a few subs - whether they are powered by nuclear, diesel or a sturdy pair of scuba divers will worry China one jot.

What on earth have we allowed to happen to our country? The Australian Labor Party has become a bunch of leftie loonies and the once great party of Sir Robert Menzies is no better... a group of leftist opinion poll followers who are in actual fact no better than the Drovers Dog doing the shepherds bidding

In the 1880’s shearers wielded a lot of influence on our country. Despite us not yet being a single united nation, in the various states where wool growing was the major industry militant unionism arose with great co-operation between the various state organisations.
In those days, shearers and general farm workers were numerous. Wool was the biggest export commodity of most of the states but the working conditions of those who produced this golden fleece were poor. Are we any richer today?

Vladimir Zelenko is an Ukrainian-American family physician known for promoting a three drug cocktail of hydroxychloroquine, zinc sulfate and azithromycin as part of an experimental outpatient treatment for COVID-19 that he has promoted as the Zelenko Protocol.
He was recently informed that he has a short time to live and is speaking out against the enforced vaccination of people around the world. This article is to inform you about his work and his messages for us all. He is also in hiding for fear for his life - what little is left - and that of his family. Make of it what you will.

Whenever I am in Perth, I always set aside a day to visit Toodyay and Northam, the homes of my ancestors. Along the way, I drop into New Norcia, which is a monastic town 130 kilometres north of Perth. It was founded in 1847 by five Spanish Benedictine monks led by Dom Rosendo Salvado, with the intention of converting the local aboriginal population to Catholicism. The main highway north has been diverted in order to miss the town, and an atmosphere of quiet solitude and peace prevails. However, the town has a dark past.
Police in Melbourne arrested more than 100 demonstrators at a rally against mandatory vaccination. The protest came after Victoria Premier Daniel Andrews issued a fresh round of vaccine mandates, affecting over a million workers.
An unusual obituary appeared in the Indianapolis Star several years ago. Upon reading it, millions of sensible people around the world felt the loss deeply, while at the same time, nodded their heads knowingly.
Written by Lori Borgman, “The Death of Common Sense” will make you wonder, has common sense really passed on?
My beloved friend and companion Bridget is not well She is a cat most triumphant. Her life was supposed to end a decade ago, but through some miracle or the miracle of love, she has shared my life for nearly a decade. As I type, she is lying still and ebbing away. How do we cope with this end of time, this end of a relationship borne out of love and ending in tears of love and grief?
