The Story of the Judgement of King Solomon is well known. Two women, each claiming to be the mother of an infant, appeal to the King for his Judgement. He rules that the baby should by cut in half and one half given to each woman. One woman cries out and says “ No! “ Give the child to her, only do not cut the child in half! “ King Solomon announced that she was indeed the Mother because the true mother would prefer to lose her child to someone else rather than see it murdered.
This morning I went to the supermarket. It is a sleepy little area, on the coast and always easy to find parking. I pulled in alongside a scruffy looking campervan – the sort of thing that the local surfers live in while they search out the next wave.
The man who owned the vehicle was standing outside, leaning in through the open sliding door on the passenger side of the truck. Perched on top of the surfboard, the blankets, the jerry cans and empty pizza boxes and the like, were 3 little kids. Quiet as lambs. They had their little knees hard up against their chest and chins. They were sobbing.

Today’s Situation Update for January 16th is largely bad news, so listen at your own discretion. Trump’s pathways to victory are collapsing, but they are not yet gone. There remain three options for Trump to remain in power and secure a second term:
I was absolutely delighted when my brother sent me $1000 for Christmas. It was a " knees up Mother Brown moment ". Apparently, it would be landing in my Paypal account imminently. My long awaited back up hard drive was ordered; the few cases of chardy were delivered and I indulged myself with a few " goodies " that I would otherwise not have had.
Alas, it all came crashing down yesterday when I learned that paypal has mysteriously lost the money and my brother and self are somehow bereft of a grand and I am now in a situation where I have had to roll out the dreaded BLACK BUDGET to claw back my expenditure and had to explain to my cat why she and I are on rations for the next month or three in order to wait while Paypal undergoes a forensic audit of its accounts - much like the one conducted in America in the recent elections.

A report has found that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg provided election officials with over $500 million to help his effort to violate election laws. Many other big tech corporations have been found trying to lobby the Democratic Party to get their employees government jobs.
The report was published by The Amistad Project of the conservative law firm the Thomas More Society. The report alleges that Zuckerberg used the money he provided to election officials to influence the election in favor of the Democratic Party’s nominee, former vice president Joe Biden.
Once, truth could be spoken and truth could be broadcast as truth. Now, we are entering an era where truth must be told in allegory - so as not to offend the Woke Wankers who are now in charge of the western world.
Allegory is where you tell a story that has no resemblance to the message you are putting across, other than its ability to make your mind go " wow... that reminds me of what is happening right now.

Sometimes, justice is neither done nor seen to be done. In fact, it is unjust and plain and simple really unfair.
Decades ago, I knew a teacher. A good man. He was married, two great kids and a lovely wife. He was dedicated to his craft and believed that it was his honour and his duty to educate his students to the best of his ability. If a student passed his classes, they KNEW it was because they deserved it. He didn't hand out participation prizes and he certainly did not reward laziness as some sort of free pass to graduation.
In short, he was a very fine teacher and educator of young minds.
This man was a highly respected member of the community. He was a volunteer firefighter and an active member of his local Church. He loved a beer down at his local and was a keen backyard cricketer and a fine teller of jokes.
But one day his life changed.
Facebook and Twitter have joined the club of leftist scum trying to shut down people's voices. The warning signs have been there for some years. None of us can say that we didn't see the warning signs. The tragedy is that we saw it, ignored it and hoped the problem would go away. It didn't. It got worse.

Yesterday, one of the top posters on twitter ( you know that thing that used to be rather popular and has just banned President Trump and dropped about $5 billion in value ? Yeah, that one ) started a hashtag #pelosilovestrump.
Now, that was very very wicked of the poster known as Catturd. But it has become one of the hottest trends on the dying blue bird known as twitter and is giving users an opportunity to bow out with a bang by trying to come up with comments and memes that best exemplify how Pelosi is secretly in love with President Trump and if she cannot have him, no one will.
Unknown to most people except those with an interest in solar science, the sun is about to shut down. Well, not completely – we’ll still have plenty of sunlight and heat, but the small dark blotches on the sun’s surface called sunspots, visible in the figure below, are on the verge of disappearing. According to some climate scientists, this heralds a prolonged cold stretch of maybe 35 years starting in 2020, despite global warming.

The World Health Organisation estimates that there were nearly 55.4 million deaths from causes other than abortion worldwide in 2019. Ischaemic heart disease was responsible for 8.9 million deaths, stroke 6.1 million deaths, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease 3.3 million deaths and lower respiratory infections 2.6 million deaths. Deaths from neonatal conditions of children after birth resulted in 2 million deaths, 1.2 million fewer than in 2000.
How many of us heard that when we were kids? Well, boys and girls, there are a few kids who are going to be in big trouble when Papa Trump gets back home and starts getting cranky at what has been going on while he has been " away."
And when Dad gets cranky, we all know that it will not be pretty.
