When I received my new kettle a few days ago, it whistled and yelled loudly that it had arrived. Poor Shaydee was very upset at the noise. Noise has become something that many people no longer like. Especially when it is shrill and high pitched. Like so many young people today. So many lefties love to screech. Maybe, like my kettle, they are just letting off steam? Perhaps they are frustrated because they are told what to think and not how to think.
Have you ever wondered how and why the Youth of today are holding rallies , their loud voices proclaiming all sorts of alarming predictions for the future. Using people like Greta Thunberg to speak with fire and brimstone about the end of the world. Pretending that young kindergarten children have important things to say about what they think the future holds. Even using "old white men " who should know better to say the end is nigh! People who are easily conned into believing things that all the Scientists are telling us is untrue.
Maybe young people today are like my kettle? Screaming and letting off steam because no one will let them have ambition and think for themselves.

Yesterday, Pauline Hanson did something that many might think as being very clever. Others? Not so much. She announced that former Liberal MP Craig Kelly, who had lost membership in the Liberal Party, and had become the leader of Clive Palmer's United Australia Party, had defected from Clive and joined her in order to get traction in the NSW parliament. So where does that leave us?
How one can summarise what has happened in one sentence is a tough ask. But that is about the best I can do. For now.
Was it a good move? For Pauline or for Craig? For myself, I genuinely don't know. I do have to ask myself if Clive is the big loser. Or, perhaps, could Craig and Pauline have benefited from Clive's financial input? What a pudding fest this is. The situation is certainly a bit of a quandry.
Should one laugh or cry at the news ABC is dumping its so-called “fact checkers” at RMIT University? ABC news director Justin Stevens emailed staff last week explaining that the national broadcaster’s seven-year partnership with RMIT won’t be renewed. [Cue laughter]. But Stevens also announced that the ABC would set up an in-house “fact-check” unit called ABC News Verify [Cue tears].
ABC News Verify – doubtless modelled on “BBC Verify” which launched a year ago – will maintain the rage against whatever contradicts the ABC’s version of truth-telling. For example, that renewables are cheapest, Trump won in 2016 by colluding with Putin, men can become women and vice versa, and Dark Emu author Bruce Pascoe, Australia’s leading fauxborigine, is of Yuin, Bunurong and Tasmanian Aboriginal ancestry.[1]
The revelation that Argentina has done something the US government hasn’t done in more than two decades—run a budget surplus—seems like a newsworthy event. So why the silence?
Argentines witnessed something amazing last week: the government’s first budget surplus in nearly a dozen years.
The Economy Ministry announced the figures Friday, and the government was $589 million in the black.
Argentina’s surplus comes on the heels of ambitious cuts in federal spending pushed by newly-elected President Javier Milei that included slashing bureaucracy, eliminating government publicity campaigns, reducing transportation subsidies, pausing all monetary transfers to local governments, and devaluing the peso.

Back in February, 2020 President Trump held a Rally in Colorado. He said “Can we get movies like ‘Gone with the Wind’ back, please?” when referring to the then recent Academy Awards.
Now, this famous movie has been deemed offensive and has been pulled from streaming services. So much has changed in the past 4 years, hasn't it?
It is well worth looking at this masterpiece in light of the current insanity that has turned our world upside down with racial division, rioting and destruction of history. " Gone with the wind " is a stark portrayal of human nature and how we were, are and always will be.

Why wasn't Breaker Morant’s poetry taught to us oldies in school? Is it fair to say that this talented Bush Poet, Harry Harbord (Breaker) Morant, was thrown under the bus by Lord Kitchener?
Kitchener sacrificed Breaker ( and Handcock) in order to mollify the Germans over the killing of a German missionary and to shift the blame of all the death and destruction from himself and the British.
As a result, Breaker's remarkable legacy as a poet was lost because of political scapegoating. His gifted work as a bush poet is largely unknown and therein lies a great tragedy.
Are they all interconnected? Were Canada and Australia set up back in 2015?
Did the press have a role to play in the destruction of Tony Abbott in Australia and Stephen Harper in Canada?
Was the overthrow of them part of a global domination takeover?
The relentless character assassination?
How could this happen?
Did the hard left villify and destroy them? Let's face it. If you want to speak out against the " movement " and speak for the " will of the people " you are doomed these days.
It is all about minority rights, climate change and global government, isn't it?

Be careful of the snake in your bed, the spider in your mind, and the scorpion with the sting in its tail.
Fear is a powerful thing and I remember when I first learned that fear can actually, be manipulated. And it was a long time ago that I let fear rule my life. Unless it is fear of heights... but that is another story.....
So let me tell you how it happened...
Wind the clock back. It was 1972 and I had inherited a small legacy, sufficient to buy a block of land or?
A 50 cc motorbike and a trip to Australia. My goodness, how times have changed. That block of land would be out of my reach these days.
The great Democratic Party President Franklin Roosevelt famously said, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”
So why do the climate catastrophists – like the anti-nuclear energy crowd – use fear as their main tactic for browbeating an unwilling public into accepting their grotesque bans on natural gas, petroleum, and even nuclear energy (not to mention coal)?
The fear mongers used images to scare people into killing Eisenhower’s dream for the “peaceful uses of nuclear energy,” which died after Three Mile Island and Chernobyl. Fear was the message in the 1959 anti-nuke film On the Beach and the 1964 LBJ “daisy ad” that killed the Goldwater campaign.
