He was an intimidating man. He lumbered up to us as we sat in rocking chairs on the front porch of the trendy restaurant; talking about nothing in particular as we digested the five-star meal my friend had paid for as a treat for me.

Australia has always been a compassionate country, maybe too compassionate sometimes.
Lately, we have been ignoring the needs of our own citizens, not building for the future, not holding onto the clever individuals, letting other countries benefit from our intellectual property.
We’ve been blessed with many smart people, people with ideas that would give us an advantage against our neighbours. But we let them all go and we don’t follow through with anything.

When I learn that children today are attending libraries to be indoctrinated by transgender, transsexual or cross dressing “ entertainers “ I somehow feel that kids are victims of theft. This precious and irreplaceable learning experience, this wonder of books and the magic of the written word, the joy of imagination – it is being stolen and stifled by those who want to sexualise, politicise and poison young minds to such an extent that they will never have the love of a library like so many of us older folk do. A young man, Wilson Gavin, dared to confront some of the drag queens with dreadful and heartbreaking results. The young man who confronted the folk at the library has been found dead. Suicide. Hounded by trolls on social media? Who knows... This is getting serious.
The Woke Warriors of Hypocrisy are trying to dance the hokey pokey – putting their left foot in, their right foot out, dancing the hokey pokey shaking the Palace about. They are guilty of the greatest crime in the western world : Hypocrisy.
They apparently live in a toxic environment of unbelievable wealth and privilege that is driving them to seek mental health therapy, seclusion and privacy - while endlessly posting on Instagram about the tragedy of their pitiful and horrific lives in the public eye.

We all accept, no matter what genre of music you love, that Elvis is King. He sang rock and roll, rhythm and blues, soul and gospel. He sang to our hearts and souls, our inner selves and our inner child and older heart. There was something about how he connected with us. He managed to be modern, yet traditional; old fashioned and cheeky; provocative yet respectful. No doubt that is why is and will always be “ The King “.
"I love when people call Trump Stupid......you mean the multi-billionaire who kicked every Democrats butt, buried 16 career Republican politicians, and continues to make fools out of once reputable news organizations ..
You mean the guy who won the presidency?
You mean the guy with the super model wife?
You mean the guy whose words alone put a massive slow down on illegal border crossings?
You mean the guy whose mere presence made the stock market smash its previous records?
You mean the guy who created 1 million jobs in his first 7 months in office?

It’s important to look at history to understand how bad things can get. Australia’s most extensive Bush fires were known as the ‘Black Thursday’ Bushfires, where on the 6th Feb 1851 (Co2 levels 285 ppm) when the temperature hit an incredible 117°F (47.2 C) at 11am in Melbourne, and quarter of Victoria, 5 million hectares in total were burnt out (10 times more than from the current Bushfires in NSW). 12 lives were lost and one million sheep and thousands of cattle were lost.
I just read the manicfesto of the Monster Raving Loony Party in Britain and to be honest it was more sensible than the Greens manifesto. The biggest difference between the Loony Party and the Greens however is that the Looney Party do not take themselves seriously. They actually promise that, if elected, they won’t implement any of their policies. The Greens on the other hand don’t even get elected but expect to have their policies implemented because they are masters of manipulation, emotional blackmail and media infiltration.

Well Jake didn’t exactly get any accolades for his article about Scott Morrison did he?
But what did happen was quite an amazing thing. I learned that people who are Conservative don’t lambast, abuse, ridicule or issue death threats. They simply and politely disagree. No one yelled “ burn stuff” no one said F#k off and no one called me or Jake a four letter word starting in c and ending in t.
No, not one. Zero. Jake and I have spoken about this and both came to the conclusion that all is good in the world of differing opinions… until the leftie luvvies or climate activists get involved. Once that happens, all hell breaks loose and there is a bombardment of hatred, venom and violence. Isn’t that peculiar?
I sit here, amazed, gobsmacked and in shock that the man who won the unwinnable election has now potentially lost his Prime Ministership through bad marketing, bad management and bad attitude.
It was all his to keep. All his to hold on to – yet he has thrown it away with one disastrous Public Relations nightmare after another.
Those words are just the edge of what people who have been destroyed by these terrible bush fires are feeling.
They are at the end of their tether, they have suffered mentally the fear of what could happened and then it did. They have suffered the loss of their homes and burnt out properties, their treasured belongings , that can't be replaced.
Their children have seen and experienced things that most only read about in a book. Lost favourite teddy bears , their beloved cat and dog. Not to mention the animals on the farms that have been burnt and then had to be put out of their painful misery. It goes beyond even imagining let alone experiencing it.
