One day, I took my late Dad for a drive in the country. He was 87 years old at that time. He passed at 89.
It was on a mountain top. A small mountain but Dad rather liked it. And so did I.
It was about 10 years ago.
Dad and I looked out across and we saw the sea. We saw the vast expanse that was the Coral Sea and having imagined the Pacific Ocean beyond. .and we looked at it and said " we fought for this. "
Yes, he did. And lest we forget this.
I can still see it now..

After some years, the wife decided that they should get a new pup. A terrier cross. Anyone who has had a Jack Russell or any kind of terrier will know that they eat energizer batteries for breakfast and only have two speeds: fast and really fast. Terriers are a mix of Formula 1 and Demolition Derby.
A few months in, hubby is unhappy and complaining that the little fella is a handful, too energetic, too demanding and too tiring.
All I could say was “ at least it’s not a woman. “

I nearly got shot a few years ago - not by a gun but by a shower head on the rampage. And I can tell you it was one very angry showerhead. Here is my story of how I nearly died - Death by Showerhead.
It was a spring morning and I had stripped off and stepped in. I had noticed, over the past few months that I had to turn the taps on more than I previously did. I stood under the dribble that was coming out of the shower rose and thought to myself that even my shower was depressed. After all, there is not much to be cheerful about these days and it is not to be unexpected that even household appliances and fixtures and fittings could be suffering from the misery of recent years.

Pfizer and Moderna are both seeking emergency use authorization for their Covid boosters for children.
Can you believe that after all the adverse information that has come out about the health and life dangers of the Covid “vaccine” and its ineffectiveness against the virus that there still are parents so insouciant, uninformed, and downright stupid to support more ruination of children’ health?
How can a country with a population this utterly stupid continue to exist?
Warming alarmists claim: “Earth’s atmosphere acts like the glass in a greenhouse.”
This is false.
Glass is largely transparent to incoming solar radiation which warms whatever is inside the greenhouse. If the greenhouse had no walls (like the atmosphere), warmed greenhouse air would rise by convection, escape out via the open sides, and heavy cooler air near to the ground would flow in to take its place. This open “Greenhouse” would stay close to outside temperature.
This October marks the 60th anniversary of the 'underwater' component of the Cuban Missile Crisis.
When the world came dangerously close to atomic Armageddon.
It was an extraordinary episode that precipitated the infamous standoff between Moscow and Washington weeks later, and likewise brought the world to the brink of nuclear destruction. With frenzied Western accusations abounding that the Kremlin is preparing to use atomic weapons in the Ukraine conflict, and spirited denials emanating from the opposite direction, it’s never been more important to revisit the incident.
As the northern hemisphere descends into a winter of power outages, soaring electricity prices and potential starvation; fuel shortages and supply line problems; political unrest and the threat of nuclear war.
I wonder sometimes if a quick death by a poisonous mushroom { cloud } is preferable to the slow death by government.
Downunder, our governments are closing our coal-fired power stations, raising our electricity prices to fund subsidies for renewables; handing out crickets to school kids as snacks and then telling us that getting the jabby jab is the only way to save our lives.
If people haven't figured out that our governments are trying to kill and cull us, then I can only say " We tried to warn you. "

Last week the New York Times ran a shocking article claiming that the US intelligence community believes the Ukrainian government to be responsible for the August attack that killed Darya Dugina, the daughter of a prominent Russian philosopher.
Surely the established narrative that Ukraine is a model western democracy standing strong for our shared values against an aggressive Russian invader is damaged with reporting that Kiev conducted an al-Qaeda style attack on an innocent civilian inside Russia. The murder of Dugina was a textbook definition of terrorism, which is, “the use of violence or the threat of violence, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political goals.”

The heady days of social activism from the 1970s seem a long-lost distant memory.
When idealogy was based on peace, not war, and being against the establishment was more about having a unique voice rather than a suppression of free will and free expression.
When an activist voice spoke from a concrete foundation of free will and a free mind, not from a script pre-written by a group of a left-wing " establishment. "
As we descend into an era of war in the name of peace and death in the name of life ( abortion ) I have to ask myself: what have we become?

“Communism is what happens when Socialists realize that they want complete control over every aspect of human life.”
~ A.E. Samaan
Let us forget about any alleged “Constitutional Republic,” or any democracy, Fascist, Socialist, or any other evident political leanings in the U.S., and just concentrate on reality. The United States today is based more on a Communist society than any other single political system or ideology; so much so as to now follow almost to the letter, the entirety of the ten planks of Communism.

On Saturday, protests supporting Julian Assange occurred around the world. In London, Assange supporters linked arms around the parliament building. Protests occurred outside the Justice Department headquarters in Washington , D.C., and in San Francisco, Tulsa, Denver, and Seattle, as well as in Australia.
Four years ago, I wrote a USA Today column calling for Assange to receive a Presidential Medal of Freedom. My piece failed to sway the Trump White House and the Biden administration has taken up the prosecution of one of the most important truth tellers of this century. Assange has been locked away for years in a maximum-security prison in Britain. He is facing extradition to face 17 counts of violating the Espionage Act for disclosing classified information. If the Brits deliver Assange to the U.S. government, he has almost no chance for a fair trial because of how prosecutions are rigged in federal court.
