Abuse of power is legal unless called out. Shredding evidence of a gang rape of an under age Aboriginal girl in detention is illegal (There is no legal age for sex, she was under the age of consent too). However, Rudd will not be prosecuted for it. He had the power of authority that allowed him to do the act, although he did not possess the authority to do it. His authority was not his position as cabinet secretary, because another cabinet secretary, were they working for the LNP would have been both persecuted and prosecuted for doing it. Rudd's authority was the ALP badge. It is not the sole instance of that badge allowing abuse of power. When Gillard allegedly gave her client union powers to extort money from business, that was an abuse of power too which wasn't fully prosecuted. Or when Shorten allegedly abused work choices to steal member money that has not been fully prosecuted. Or in contrast, Thomson has not been prosecuted in the same way Jackson is being persecuted and the big difference is the ALP badge. Jackson lost her badge.
Internationally, it is not the ALP badge, but the media support of a leftwing agenda which allows abuse of power. Otherwise Truman would have faced hard questions over dropping two atomic bombs on civilians. Or Kennedy would face hard questions over selling out his partner for peace in the Cuban Missile Crisis. Or Johnson would have faced hard questions over his assassination of allies, or supporting corrupt allies. Or Carter would face tough questions for giving chemical weapons to Iraq. Or Bill Clinton would have to explain the deaths of former friends who could finger him for corruption, or his dropping bombs on civilians in Yugoslavia. Or Obama would have to explain how he came to sacrifice for no reason his people in Benghazi while dancing with Beyonce.
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.
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...

How can we, like Jupurrurla, use our resourcefulness and generosity to share the abundance we discover, ensuring it strengthens our communities and honors our connection to our environment?
Below is an expanded and vivid retelling of Jupurrurla and the Forty Shadows, reimagining Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves as a Warlpiri Dreamtime story set in the Tanami Desert. This version enriches the sensory landscape, deepens Warlpiri cultural elements, and aligns with the structure of Ali Baba while incorporating echoes of The Story of the Three Bears (e.g., an intruder entering a forbidden space, consequences of greed, and a moral resolution). The narrative emphasizes Warlpiri values of kinship, respect for the land, and wisdom over greed, creating a story that resonates with both the original tale and the desert’s spiritual heartbeat.

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.
If the Democrat party is a corrupt, and ultimately spent force, what replaces it? Should we wait for a head to grow back? Or, should we look back to the vision of Jefferson and Adams? What is your preference for the future? I read all comments. Please like and subscribe.
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 ...
