Yesterday this column posted on the issue of free speech after Lachlan Murdoch spoke about Keith Murdoch's efforts to end Gallipoli. The theory is not made up, but comes from other sources not mentioned, and is supposed to provoke debate. On the site 'Australian Political Debate-Open Forum' Evan Carter posted "Gobledook" a more enlightening riposte was posted by Russell Loye on Bolt Report Supporter's Group. Initially, the post had Russell wondering openly if his Aunty had a dick. Katrina Anthoney pointed out he hadn't addressed any arguments but had been openly sexual in abuse. Russell denied it was an opinion and instead compared it with a successful Hollywood screen play which was fictional. So the core arguments were restated to him and Russell responded with what had happened prior to Keith Murdoch's intervention. Russell, that reply of yours is gobbledegook.
They say what they think
Frightbats don't want to be laughed at. But they make it so hard. Has anyone ever successfully not thought about what they thought about? Fright bats reported Tim Blair to the censors over the term "Frightbat" and the censors considered the issues. It was posted as satire and involved female columnists who had behaved badly. Censors listened to the arguments against, but decided they couldn't see it. It is true Frightbats say what they think, but maybe they haven't really thought about it. Not really. And none of them have successfully predicted the end of the world, or even a small town.
Plibersek plans to spread plague but is opposed by responsible people .. and supported by irresponsible ones. Australian volunteers are serving in Africa fighting Ebola. Plibersek wants Mr Abbott to order people there without an evacuation plan. Plibersek wants infected people brought to Australia without quarantine and forcing them into the general community. Such an irresponsible plan might be modelled on Obama's community organisation response. Naturally the AMA is critical of the government and in support of Plibersek.
Terrorist attack by Islamic wannabe in NYC. The crazed Islamic convert approached police and started swinging at them with an axe, seriously wounding two. Luckily they shot him dead before he killed others. Did he fail his Islam entry test? Someone in the Islamic community has sponsored him. Recently, in several 'lone wolf' engagements, family and friends of the convert have claimed the terrorist was quiet and a lovely person. Many of the converts are drug users and criminals who turn to terrorism. So where is the issue of redemption in Islam?
ALP embraces Whitlam's failure, and the friends of the ALP deny that Whitlam had any. His foolish, cold lack of compassion for those who suffered and died from his idealist positions should be red flags even for his supporters. Leadership positions within the ALP are protected. Vietnamese couldn't even kill to obtain one. But worse, the realisation that a solid budget is needed to underpin reform has been lost. Neither Hawke nor Keating had that, but they were also not as totally destructive as Gillard and Rudd had been. Seeming but not doing, no policy, corrupt opportunism the ALP is no different now than the worst of Whitlam's years. Unreformed. Nakedly obstructive and opportunistic.
Peter Carey conspiracy theorist and writer claims the CIA overthrew Gough Whitlam in 1975. In fact the Australian voters did that. The CIA never even polled.
Shorten declares he is Catholic in a fierce declaration against Catholic Policy on Gay Marriage. Shorten then declares that because he is Catholic he feels that the Liberal Party should support Gay Marriage. Personally, gay marriage should be 'legal' because it isn't up to government to decide conscience issues. Only secular administration should be government. An argument Shorten seems to not understand. There are many fine Catholic peoples in all walks of life. Shorten is not one of them.
Issues in isolation
Witch hunt for those who aren't left wing, where the new Salem witch hunt extends from totalitarians wishing to control thoughts. Brendan O'Neill asks "WHY is it bad to hack and expose photographs of a woman’s naked body but apparently OK to steal and make public the contents of a man’s soul?" A poet, Barry Spurr, has had his private emails hacked and published. He has had no opportunity to defend himself. His public views seem to be normal.
ABC stands for anything but conservative as a new show set to replace the 7:30 report is described as having a panel of left wing hosts. Meanwhile the ABC has spent big on the tax payer's dime to take a soccer tournament away from commercial tv. Meanwhile ABC is spending big on Google to promote their left wing programs.
Jim Molan wants to run as Liberal for the senate. He co authored the successful Sovereign Borders policy. And he has served as a Major General.
Tax and spend means poverty
Debt needs to be paid back, as Tony Abbott says "I said constantly before the election, and I have said frequently since the election, that our plan was to build a strong and prosperous economy for a safe and secure Australia…" ALP policy is for children and those yet to be born to pay for ALP whims. Currently the ALP is blocking about $30 billion in cuts.
Europe taxes prudence as the UK refuses to pay a bill to the EU for having higher growth than expected. It would be better for Europe to tax nations that under performed.

Royals take 2-1 lead over Giants in a close game where a single in the first innings proved the difference.
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!
