I recently was told by some neighbours that they had decided to move to a Retirement village nearby, but some kilometers from the beach where we enjoy a couple of minutes walk and we are on the golden sand.

Early in the pandemic I advised readers to zone out, take a break, and read fiction and other works of art that have stood the test of time. There’s only so much crazy we can deal with and there’s only so much mental benefits to be had from intensively monitoring a pile of political trash.
Over a long enough time frame, the madness of 2020 will fade. However awful the damage is now and however many people’s lives are ruined by asinine government policies, the world will recover. Poverty will resume its downward stroll; Capitalism will provide.
Or will it?
Ardern called it the Covid Election. If it was a horse race you would say the frivolous fraudulent filly beat the tried and true thoroughbred. The win was not unexpected as by ensuring all the others in the race had more hurdles to jump than she did Ardern guaranteed herself the win. By stacking the odds in her favour she won by the length of the race track. She made sure she would be the first and only one out of the starting gates when the gun went off. Everyone else was left in the stalls. republished from The BFD

March the 27th 2020, should be etched on Daniel Andrews headstone if he ever gets to have one, for before this is over the sheer immensity of what has been done under his watch would drive others to commit suicide. That he is walking the path that may well end in political suicide is not apparent to him looking from his viewpoint, because he has a mindset that tells him, it is all about maintaining control. I am the strongman, just as his political sisters in Queensland and New Zealand see themselves as. But you see Daniel is driving forward; there is no rear vision mirror that reflects the trail of damage that his stewardship has left in the wake.
Each time I watch the latest news on the battle between Peta Credlin and Dan Andrews, I cannot help but think of that great fairytale and musical masterpiece Peter and the Wolf.
Geez, doesn't that ring a bell in today's modern world of Climate Change, Lockdowns and Socialist fear mongering.....
Hi everyone
Just to keep you in the loop - the server is being upgraded and during the changeover, there will be some teething problems. I hope to have it all sorted today.
Thanks for your patience and kind support
What a mess. When Dame Edna Everidge used to throw her gladdy into the audience and cry " Hello Possums! " it was a declaration of Australianism - that unique and wonderful blokey bloke, quintessential " bugger you mate - I am Australian and proud of it. ".
Today we are seeing Gladdy thrown under the bus and to be honest, she bought the ticket and queued up to take the fall.

JFK'S Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in the early 60's when DeGaulle decided to pull out of NATO.
DeGaulle said he wanted all US military out of France as soon as possible.
Rusk responded "Does that include those who are buried here?"

As you know, I do not advertise on Patriotrealm. I want to keep it that way. But, as time goes by, I am seeing more and more people coming to the site and our server is now overloaded. We need some help. Can you help ?
On first glance, our articles are not that well viewed but people are looking at our older articles and, as an example, Mike, the Oztrucker's article from a year ago has gone from a couple of hundred to nearly 2000. Our older articles are being read and re read by people from all over.
I need some help.

It is said that ‘be nice to the people you pass on the way up, because you may live to pass them on the way down’. Yet even his fiercest rival, the more credible of the media pack are the first to admit than Daniel Michael Andrews, is a man who knows how the system of government is played and not only does he know but more importantly he is a master of the art.
