Scott Morrison deserves a chance as PM. While I was in Sydney, recently, two Turnbull inspired campaigns have attacked sitting members Tony Abbott and Peter Dutton. Dutton has been criticised by an ALP dominated senate working committee which has made a decision that should give chills to anyone thinking of making ALP government after next election. The committee deemed Dutton to have mislead parliament when he hadn't. It is an echo of the abuse of power of Dan Andrews ALP Victorian Government, where the police have announced an investigation into Red Shirt Rorts will involve questioning sitting ALP members, including the police minister, through written submissions. Tony Abbott's seat was called into question by activists, but he has done great work locally, and in Australia. In an echo of the PM's position, activists claimed that the public needed to know which members supported Abbott and which did not, wilfully misunderstanding democratic process. Along with the assault on Abbott was the refrain "Women don't trust Abbott and, without women, Abbott cannot be elected." But, women do trust Abbott and Abbott has often been elected.
Local councils dominated by Greens and ALP have recently suggested the awful idea of growing fruit in public areas to feed the hungry. Only farmers are best for growing food, not local councils. It is not merely for having healthy fruit, but also for security of that fruit, as has been recently highlighted with needles being inserted into fruit around the country. A twelve year old girl has been caught in one isolated incident. The real culprit starting the terrorism has not yet been caught.
Donald Trump's GOP in congress seem weak in not calling for a vote on Brett Kavanaugh. However, it is the Democrats who have behaved abysmal, holding up the confirmation with empty allegations. According to the press, the poor behaviour is impressive for supporters, who want to see more such spoiling in government. McCain was one GOP who seemed to work for the Clinton Foundation. Are there others? Let the public see, with a vote.
Today I return from Sydney to writing. My trip to Sydney was by train, because I don't fit in plane seats, and can't afford multiple tickets. I was blessed to see friends and attend a magnificent wedding. I had planned to go first class on the train, overnight, for the ten hour journey. I'd mistaken first class seat with first class cabin, which was how I came to Melbourne in '16. My apologies to my fellow first class passengers. Ten hours next to me overnight. I could not sleep as there were not facilities for my CPAP machine. The return journey and the journey up were both fully booked, so there was no room to move. After a few legs, each journey, the train company took pity on my fellow passengers and gave up seats to allow me a double. One life saver was the silicon nose inserts that worked as a fall back. I couldn't sleep, but did not snore. Special shout out to Dan Andrews Victoria leg, on the journey out, Train was stopped at Frankston by police, playing chases with youths on the tracks.

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bell chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle...

The useful idiot that is RINO Romney is wrong about the mother of our child, USA. She is not virginal. When the patriot Ashli Babbitt was killed during a largely peaceful demonstration at the Capitol, she was not killed because President Trump incited violence or lied about election fraud. She was there because she was standing up for an opportunity the founding fathers promised was her free right. And she was killed because a Cabal has stolen the 2020 election and Georgia senate run offs and that Cabal desperately needs to protect itself. And by killing her, the Cabal has prevented President Trump from presenting his case before the legislature, as he had been allowed by constitution. Biden is now President Elect. But Biden did not get the votes he claims, and will not have the support such a turnout would endow.
The awful situation of President Elect Biden for USA, with senate in tow, cannot be understated. Just as with 911, terrorists around the world are cheering. It is trite to say there will be no justice, as there has been ...
