Hong Kong's umbrella is raised for freedom. Brave democracy activists are standing for what they believe in. Islamic radicals note, they are doing it right and have respect around the world. The Chinese administration, that is hardline communist, fear them. Just like last time, they may kill them. Back during the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, after tanks of the Peoples Liberation Army rolled over protestors, and many were jailed and reeducated, Australian PM Bob Hawk spoke with Deng Xiaoping in private and pointed out that many of those radicals the Chinese government didn't want could come to Australia. Deng asked "How many millions do you want?" Even now, an estimated sixty million Chinese nationals are prepared to immigrate to Australia. Because of bad governance by the ALP, Australian land is not developed to support that many people. A Bradfield scheme would need to water central Australia. It can be done. Possibly China would fund it, if a deal could be struck with a future democratic Chinese government. God speed the Democracy Umbrella protests.
Dear Aunt Tracy gave advice to Isis regarding names being overtaken by public disasters. Aunt Tracy was eight when the cyclone devastated Darwin. Beforehand, people would say what a lovely name she had. Afterwards, she was introduced to Gough Whitlam. He pretended she didn't exist. She could have been called Darwin for all he cared. And that is a tip for Isis. Choose a name which no one will notice in your neighbourhood. Your locals who run in fear of Isis will openly weep in thanks at Kabul, Mecca or Baghdad. In recent research it has been discovered Aliens have been swimming in our water. Or could have in the past. Half the world's water is older than the formation of the Sun. Maybe in time to come we will be able to work out what the parent star was like, if there was only one. NRL officials deny their organisation is run by women. When asked who was the best and fairest player over the entire season, they said they couldn't decide. Gosford Anglican's chief minister/priest/acolyte of Gaia has denounced the Abbott administration as fascist because they don't drown visitors or subject them to piracy. Did a switch in temperature gauge result in heat reading upgrade? The great heating scare beginning circa '96 corresponded with a new temperature measuring system. Margo Kingston being awarded a Doctorate in Creative Practice is a better deal than Roberta Flack being given a Doctorate in Musicology. Roberta has real talent. Margo is confused by facts and angry at myths. Sorry, Dr Kingston is confused by facts and angry at myths.
Media Watch missed a dangerous issue of ABC siding with terrorists. Media watch is just like Dr Kingston. Confused by facts and angry at myths. US has named the ten most wanted terrorists. Buddhists from Myanmar command respect against terrorists by fighting them in traditional ways not followed by the Umbrella democracy protestors. Terror raids in Melbourne by federal and Victorian police are not related to last week's stabbing of two police officers by a young ISIS devotee.
Ministers are using the budget blow out to address the debt emergency. Something needs to cut through the ALP and PUP obstructionism. Palmer might not be aware, but to run a business effectively profits need to exceed expenses. The Maritime Union has used stand over tactics to steal three million dollars? What else? Union corruption has been fostered by the ALP and must be stopped. Newman's government is on track to be re-elected, according to polls. The Whitlam government history has been written by losers. The sad truth is an inept but corrupt administration cost Australia significantly and still does so. Julie Bishop stymies a super ministry for Scott Morrison. There is no pressing need for one. But ALP supporters are keen to claim division in government ranks.
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 ...
