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

Here we go again: another wave of " pass the buck "
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?
What have we got today? Friction, Frustration and Futility.

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.
