Have a look at the graphic below and ask yourself: are you in an abusive relationship with your Government?
If you are like me, I decided that I answered " yes " too many times and I want a divorce.

'We are governed by the dumbest people alive'
Conservatives mocked a Democratic representative’s Sunday prayer opening the 117th Congress that concluded with “amen and awoman.”
“We ask it in the name of the monotheistic God, [unintelligible], and God known by many names and by many different faiths, amen, and awoman,” Democratic Missouri Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, an ordained United Methodist pastor, said during the prayer to open the 117th Congress.

Well the New Year arrived and we were given the oh so exciting news that our tried and true Anthem had been changed. The next step will be removed totally , like they are trying to do with the flag. They changed all the words of the Lord's Prayer. They are changing the meaning of many of our words. Gay, Rainbow, words like Her and Him to They.

If I was American.... I would be going to Washington DC on 6th of January.
If I was American, I would walk to Washington to be there to support President Trump.
If I was American, I would sleep on the side of the road and do anything within my power to be there to support President Trump.

Apparently, Australia is no longer young and free but one and free. This is just another brick in the wall and we must stop and consider the ramifications of this seemingly benign " little tweak. "
We saw it happen with the "voluntary opinion poll " on Same Sex Marriage. It will happen again with our anthem. The minute you give an inch to the vocal minority, they will DEMAND a mile. That is how it works.
I am not happy that this decision was made by Prime Minister Morrison as though it was no big deal. It IS a big deal and it is not and was not HIS decision to make on behalf of 25 million Australians.

As 2020 draws to a close, I tried to come up with something that would reflect on what a year it has been.
I think we all know it has been a shit of a year. No one needs to be walked through the nightmare that we have endured since the clock ticked over to midnight nearly one year ago and announced with great celebration that it was 2020. To say it was SOSO would be kind.

The latest member of the woke brigade is a very cranky indigenous female who has joined our Senate as a member for the Green Party. Shit, she sure looks Indigenous to me..... Not.
She has a ( here I go again ) white father and a black mother.
I find it somewhat puzzling that Lidia hates the race that gave her birth. After all, she is actually part white. Every time she dumps on " White Australia " she is dumping on the man who provided the DNA and the sperm that created that little one that was not aborted and was not denied an education. Her parents, black and white, gave her opportunities to grow and prosper yet, poor Lidia, hates her Papa so much because he is the worst thing that any human being can be.

Last night I watched "The Man who shot Liberty Valance " - it should be compulsory viewing for everyone in America right now, if not the entire world. What a spectacular tale about the value of a vote and the value of free and fair elections. I have watched it before, but never before has that message come through so loud and clear as it did yesterday.

Mimi Groves, a student in Virginia, got kicked out of college because of an old Snapchat video of her saying a racial slur. The ex-classmate who ‘exposed’ her prides himself on this memorable accomplishment.
If you were to ask me before Christmas if I knew who Mimi Groves was, I would probably have asked you if she was a character in a movie. The young Miss Groves has made national headlines here in the United States because someone used a recorded video of her saying a racial slur as a 15-year-old kid to get her kicked out of college. A situation made possible by rampant cancel culture, it’s emblematic of a larger sickness in our society.
