While our political leaders are making merry with their power, the enemy is, like Hannibal and his elephants heading for Rome across the Alps, marching ever closer. We, like the people of ancient Babylon, sit by and watch helplessly as our leaders gloat and make merry.
Unfortunately, we are ignoring the elephant that is already in the room, the Labor leaders themselves—all of them Fabians.
We need a decisive leader such as Scipio Africanus, who finally defeated Hannibal and destroyed Carthage, Scipios Abbottus, Turnbullus et Morrisonus?—no way, Scipio Duttonus?—unlikely.

I have been thinking a lot these recent days about the tragic loss of the submarine Titan and how it appears to have been lost because of a massive implosion under enormous pressure.
It got me to thinking about carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) or carbon steel, and whether it could it have an impact on the welding process and techniques employed?
I am no expert on such matters and have no intention of pretending to be one. But It did make me start researching everything about the ancient craft of welding.

Eddie grew to be a wonderful little dog except for one annoying trait.
He was a rover, a sticky-beak, and a compulsive investigator that caused me no end of worry.
A pee-stop on the highway, for example, might have him vanishing into the bush and beyond earshot, although I was never sure about that - selective hearing, perhaps. In the three years we were mates I spent much of that wandering the streets whistling and yelling his name.

In the world of movies, it's often expected that the good guys triumph over the bad guys in the end.
Heroes save the day, villains are thwarted, and justice prevails. However, Looney Toons, with its zany and unpredictable nature, dares to defy this convention. In the Looney Toons universe, victory is not the ultimate goal, and nobody truly wins.
Instead, the focus is on having a bloody laugh. It is the unique premise of Looney Toons: where winning takes a backseat to laughter and the joy of watching our favorite characters engage in simply being silly.
You see, in Looney Toons, failure is celebrated as a source of laughter rather than a cause for despair. Whether it's a grand scheme gone bugger up or a simple mishap, the characters bounce back from their misfortunes with resilience and unwavering optimism.

Until her untimely death on April 9, 2021 Dr. Judith Reisman was a lifelong champion for the rights of children.
Her death came 10 days after she received the second corona virus “ jab.” We will probably never know what her cause of death was, other than it was put down to natural causes. We will probably never know if it was a result of the vaccine or because she had existing health issues.
But this, for the moment, is not the matter of her death that makes her extraordinary, but the matter of her life.
Judith Reisman was the woman who exposed the dark side of the man who is seen as a prophet and a devil, depending upon which side of the moral fence you sit. His name was Alfred Kinsey.
While obituaries this week will rightfully laud Daniel Ellsberg for his disclosure of the lies and deceptions behind the Vietnam War, two ideological descendants of the Pentagon Papers, Julian Assange and Edward Snowden, remain unfree.
This weekend marks 11 years since Julian Assange entered the Ecuadorian Embassy in London and began his confinement as a political prisoner. The torture that he has endured is not just an attack on his rights of free expression and journalism; it is an assault on your right to be an informed citizen.
His persecution was a harbinger for the merger of state and corporate interests, the increased suppression of dissent, and the dual system of law that indemnifies the powerful and punishes dissidents.

" Pity Party Prince Harry" and manipulative " Miss Meghan Markle " may well be the most narcissistic couple on the planet: endlessly self-absorbed, utterly oblivious to others’ feelings, and blaming everyone but themselves for all their “troubles.”
And precisely what “injustices” do the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have to gripe about? Of the world’s eight billion folks, Meghan and Harry are easily among the richest one-tenth of one percent, two of the few thousand royals, as well as young, beautiful, and (physically at least) healthy to boot.
Perhaps their real problem is that they are typical well-heeled leftists: incredibly entitled, dangerously bored, cynically secular, and desperately in search of meaning. If they were not such fine-looking celebrities, who would give them a second look?

As children, we constantly asked that most annoying of all questions: WHY? The most patient of parents would eventually close the session down with the statement " Because I said so. "
And that was an end to it. And that is what our governments have done with Vaccines, with transgender issues; with racial division and with just about every issue we face today.
When we ask " Why " the politicians and bureaucrats simply said " Because we told you so. "
That is the crux of the issue. And I, for one, am bloody sick of it.

The introduction of Eddie to his new home would have to wait, as I had to get to Sydney on business, three hours behind the wheel. I had everything I needed for the dog, collar, lead, bowl and a half bag of dried puppy food. And so we went, Eddie comfortably settled on the passenger seat, grinning at me—probably thinking—“sucker.”
I have been to England and France many times always accompanied by my wife.
We have visited all the famous places in England and played Monopoly in real life terms in London.
When I come across something of interest I like to ponder it in detail.
This usually ends up with a tug on the sleeve and a word in my ear telling me “Come on. You have seen enough of that. I want to look at the shops.”
