Don't give up on hope. Fight to live. Life is sweet. Life is worth it. There is enough tragedy which will end it, but every day you can live and suck the marrow out of life. Unless you are a left winger and celebrate death. In Victoria, Premier Dan Andrews is trying to provide certainty to death by passing a bill for euthanasia. Advocates claim it is safe from abuse. Overseas studies show that wherever implemented it has been abused. It is not the terminally ill who are using it, but the sad and lonely. Killing sad and lonely people is not the appropriate response to their problems. Euthanasia is only good for the democratic process which will end Dan Andrews ALP government in Victoria. The bill is on a knife edge in the Victorian parliament with the ALP deputy leader suggesting an amendment which might stymie it. Or might not.
Another 'death worshipper' is the unlikely Bow Bergdahl, former Taliban detainee. Bergdahl was a private who walked out of the US army base, disgusted at how the army was being run. He was captured by Taliban and used as a pawn and Obama traded some Gitmo detainees for Bergdahl's freedom. It is said US soldiers died looking for Bergdahl. It is also suggested that Taliban targeted US troops in the months following Bergdahl's capture. Young people get confused by politics, the press don't help and Obama sent the wrong signals whenever he could. Service in Iraq was a good thing. Atrocities are not. But Bow did not detail atrocities, but referenced them in an email to his dad before deserting. Bow left after he did not like new platoon sergeants. Bow claimed he knew of atrocities leaving him sick, like running over Afghan youths in armoured vehicles. But, maybe there s no difference between accidents, and deaths of combatants? Bow's solution was not a good one.
The left celebrate death and abandon people in need. As with giving $100 trillion to corrupt AGW hysterics, and taking it from the world's poorest. Turnbull has a plan to contribute to the $100 trillion through a carbon tax. It will make power more expensive, but Turnbull says it will be cheaper. Power is set to falter in Vitoria this summer because of bad government policy. But outrageous has been the banning of a halloween costume because it was named to be Anne Frank. The outrageous exploitation of Anne must stop. She was abandoned by the left when by acting, she might have been saved. The outfit is ok, but the association is wrong.
The ALP are failing in Victoria, as a third member resigns under corruption allegations regarding expenses. Dan Andrews government is running out of puff, but the election is still some 400 days away. So Andrews is launching his energy into renewal, by supporting banning plastic shopping bags. Banning plastic bags won't help anyone or anything, but can make Dan feel better even though he can't kill anyone yet. Note the irony, Andrews supports euthanasia but opposes capital punishment.
Harm minimisation fails as drugs take a toll. Trump is expected to act soon on the issue, declaring that every month the US is experiencing a 911 from drug deaths. But it isn't only death which scars drug users.
The #MeToo hashtag is getting a workout post Weinstein. I am a sex abuse victim, my childhood, such as it was, was ended by a family friend, and exploited by my mother. I've been abandoned by family. I have sympathy for the actresses and hopefuls exploited by Weinstein. I may not agree with them on their politics, but I do not feel they deserved the abuse.
Trade Union corruption in Australia is extensive. Unions have tax free income, control superannuation funds and have un-policed corrupt control of building development, making Australia the most expensive place in the word to build infrastructure. Note the corruption of the UN who elected to HRC Qatar, Congo and Pakistan. Three excellent places to oversee women's rights?
Diwali, the Indian festival of Lights, New Year, has begun. May your year be prosperous and blessed.
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...

English Folk Song: The Wanderer and the Three Goannas
Lyrics (Based on the Warlpiri Story):
(Verse 1)
In the Tanami’s glow, where the spinifex sways,
Jupurrurla roamed through the desert’s warm days.
Her curious heart found a camp in the shade,
Where three goannas’ coolamons a feast had arrayed.
(Chorus)
Oh, the wanderer bold, ‘neath the starlit sky’s gleam,
Met the three goannas in the Desert’s dream.
With a heart full of truth, she learned to amend,
Wove the land and its kin in a song without end.
(Verse 2)
Father’s tomatoes sharp, Mother’s ants far too sweet,
But Little Goanna’s wattle warmed her heart’s beat.
On their mats she tried rest—too rough, then too slick—
Till the small one’s weave held her dreams soft and quick.
(Chorus)
Oh, the wanderer bold, ‘neath the starlit sky’s gleam,
Met the three goannas in the Desert’s dream.

I'm a little disappointed with my video. I couldn't put in the images I curated. But I stand by it. I am contributing to the debate over America Party. I'm a MAGA supporter always preferred GOP, despise RINO. I likely will never vote AP, but I welcome their existance in US Democracy, noting Dem's have utterly failed.

Below is a prog rock song in the style of Emerson, Lake & Palmer, characterized by grandiose lyrical imagery, complex narrative structure, and a blend of theatrical pomp with driving rhythms and intricate keyboard flourishes. The song, titled "Star-Spangled Visionaries," celebrates the America Party led by Elon Musk as an alternative to a corrupt Democratic establishment, draws parallels to the Jefferson-Adams ...
Independence Day is a time for celebration. Here are some of the things this bill does. Doesnt it feel good to stop corruption and instead pay for what is needed? --- ### Ballad of the Big Beautiful Bill
Verse 1 Oh, gather 'round, ye hearts of cheer, this Independence Day, The Big Beautiful Bill has passed, and swept the rot away! No more the corrupt shall feast on bribes, their pockets lined with greed, The poor and lost now claim their due, their aid secured with speed.
Chorus Sing hallelujah, raise the flag, let freedom’s anthem soar, The truth has triumphed, justice reigns, from shore to shining shore! With open hearts and fearless dreams, we’ll build a world anew, The Bill has freed our spirits bold, and hope comes shining through!
Verse 2 The pharma lords, with wicked schemes, no longer spread their lies, Diseases sown for profit’s gain now wither 'neath our eyes. No more shall global bodies fake a warming doom’s decree, Fossil fuels, abundant, cheap, will power liberty!
