Throughout history, we have seen Nations triumph or be crushed by authoritarianism and it all comes down to the strength of the Leader at the helm.
But strength when exercised through fear and strength exercised through Patriotism and love are two entirely different matters.
Hitler was strong but he ruled with fear. Xi Jinping is much the same. Pol Pot. Idi Amin.
How many of us believe that Trump rules through Fear and that the founders of Antifa and BLM rule through Patriotism and love?
Who are you afraid to offend right now? The Leftists who attack you through social media? Or people like President Trump, Viktor Orban?
When it takes courage to stand up to defend your Rights, chances are you are in fear. If it doesn't make you frightened to stand up and defend your rights, you are probably in safe hands.
It is our choice to stand or fall in the face of fear.

Most people today know that the cuckoo is a rather sneaky bird. It lays its eggs in the nests of other birds leaving those unwitting innocents to rear the imposter as one of their own. The cuckoo thrives and eventually throws the other baby birds out to die.
Many of the older generation know the saying whereby someone is a cuckold , referring to a man who unwittingly rears a child, thinking that the little one is his own.
Well, I think we have been cuckolded and, if things don’t change, we will continue to be thrown out of our homes and left to perish.
The Queen will not be amused after Harry's latest episode of " Who's a pretty boy ? " - What a foolish, sad and cringeworthy parrot he has become. He is now " Who's a petty boy? "
His Nanny Meg needs to be fired and he needs an intervention. His appalling speech about the Commonwealth is not only mocking and ridiculing his Grandmother, the Queen, but also shaming all Commonwealth Citizens around the world.
Harry Markle needs to have a good long look at himself and stop letting the side down.
“ Look over there… it’s a seagull!”
My mother and father allowed me to start dating selected young chaps of their approval when I was about 15. My mother said that if any young lad tried to kiss me, I was to say something like “: look at that seagull over there “ and use distraction to curb his enthusiasm of the moment. I tried it very successfully for some time until one young fellow with very persuasive charm made my mind so cluttered and my body so overcome with hormones that I forgot the seagulls, kissed him and ended up bedridden for 6 weeks with glandular fever – what was then known as “ the kissing disease. “
I was reminded that I should have listened to her and I would not have gotten sick.
It certainly cooled my ardour for some time and I took up seagull watching again. I was too frightened to kiss a boy or get close for a goodly while.
I cannot help but think that we are being asked to “ look at the seagull “ these days.

I keep watching the news and hearing and reading about people who " take the knee " and I wonder. Do they have any idea what they are doing? A symbolic stance that makes them feel as if they are doing something worthwhile.
Do they realise that they are not bowing in service to someone to whom they feel allegiance, but rather that they are bowing in subservience to someone who they may come to fear and loathe?

It has been a long time since I have seen President Trump speak with such passion and determination. But today, at the base of Mount Rushmore in South Dakota, he showed the world, Americans and the Leftist Deep State, that he is not only in control, but in the saddle and ready to ride again. And it is NOT into the sunset.
President Trump is back in charge and has climbed the mountain to greatness.

Back on October 4th 2018, VP Mike Pence delivered a speech that, in my opinion, changed the world. I doubt that the outcome was what was expected, but, in retrospect, we should have been wiser to the impact that this speech had on President Xi of China. Xi does not play by Queensberry Rules.
It is my belief that President Trump expected a response but did not expect the way in which China would respond. A virus was a rather diabolical way of " putting him in his place. "
Because a crooked cop put his knee on the neck of a drug dealing thug , because China unleashed a virus on the western world, the Chinese Communist Party has put its boot on the neck of Hong Kong and no one seems to give a shit. In fact, China has put its knee on all of us and our silence is being won by suffocation. Our voices are being silenced by the jackboot of Communist China.

As the saying goes, the announcement of the new Made in Australia logo is moronic. For my American and Kiwi readers, the saying " Someone has a 'Roo loose in the top paddock " means someone is completely stupid, intellectually impaired and downright dumb.
Australia’s Nation Brand Advisory Council made the decision to rebrand the logo from the iconic Kangaroo in green and gold to an abstract depiction of a wattle which looks more like a user friendly version of the Wuflu Virus. Is Australia now claiming the corona virus as it's National emblem? Probably not surprising seeing as most everything here is made in China so why not call a spade a spade....?!
Oh, by the way, the National Brand Advisory Board WAS SET UP BY MALCOLM TURNBULL.
If that isn't enough, it cost $10 MILLION to create.
$10 million to get a stylised corona virus and pay some kid to sprinkle glitter over it? Yep, that sounds like Malcolm Turnbull.
It has finally hit home the terrible change that has been inflicted upon us. How long is it since the local shopping mall was visited, when did you last have a professional haircut? When did you last try on a new pair of slacks or a pretty top? Did you cancel your last dental appointment or you skin cancer check?All the things that were normally part of your routine have been altered. On line purchases are the order of the day , we are expert at that type of buying now.I know things have been eased off and restrictions have been lifted but I have spoken to people in the older age bracket and some have said they don't think they will ever go to the big shopping malls again. The lockdown and restrictive life has made them feel unsure , taken their confidence away. They feel depressed and unhappy. What a disaster that so many feel this way.
I read it all the time here in Aussie – people who think we have an unhealthy obsession with all things American and all things Trump. It seems strange to me that people here have no idea why it is so important for us to know what is happening in a country so far away from us geographically. So here are some annoying things called facts that may make you see why it matters VERY much what happens if the land of the free becomes enslaved by the current Marxist takeover bid by the democrats.
If the Trump Presidency is sabotaged, then we are going to be sitting ducks to China.

As the war on white privilege seems to be going from insane to dangerously insane, I cannot help but cast my mind back to my white privilege as a child growing up in the 1950's and 60's in rural New Zealand. We were not a poor white family: my Dad had a job and we had a comfortable and clean home.
Our household probably didn't receive much more income than our neighbours but there was a fundamental difference between me and the neighbours kids - my parents didn't smoke, drink or gamble. I knew kids who had their Dad bring home his paypacket, head off to the pub for the " 6 o'clock swill " ( Kiwi term for the fact that pubs closed at 6 pm ) over to the betting shop and into the tobacconist for some roll your own tobacco or cigarettes. And then return home and the kids would go hungry unless my mother fed them.
My Dad didn't do that. He came home with pay packet intact and played with us in the backyard or read us a story.
My white privilege was the fact that I was born in to a warm family relationship and that has served me well throughout my life.
