No flights unless you have a vaccination Passport? No job unless you have been given the Jab? No admission to certain shops, public transport or public places unless you have been vaccinated?
It seems to me that the real global pandemic we are facing is a global pandemic of stupidity and blind faith in leaders who have, so far, hardly shown that they are acting and reacting in a manner that is based on commonsense and is more suggestive of so called " health experts " ruling our countries and our leaders are, yet again, asleep at the wheel.

I do not normally watch Q & A. In fact I consciously avoid it such was the affect that Tony Jones and his stacked audiences had on me but last night for reasons unknown, when I finished my dinner and went to the TV room it was on. Obviously the 7.30 Report had not been turned off.
This was the first occasion when I saw it chaired by Hamish Macdonald and I have to say that I was impressed. The topic of the moment was the Brittany Higgins rape complaint but the programme quickly morphed into the aged care discussion. The more that went on the more interested and disgusted I became.

As our families drift further apart ( whether it be through distance or because of political, moral or social differences of opinion ) we are starting to redefine so much of our traditional places of comfort. Poor old Uncle Bob who used to get a bit pissed at the family Christmas dinner and get carried off to the spare bedroom to sleep it off... or old mate Cousin Billy who used to bang on about the Government hatching a master plan to take over the world and we all said " yeah, yeah, good on ya mate " and get back to having a joke and a yarn about who would win the cricket; times have changed.
Today, I read a comment on a forum I belong to. It made me realise that FAMILY is a dying " Art " and one that too many people around the world have abandoned or simply do not even realise has been abandoned and stolen.. Certainly in the form that the current " woke " mob think it is.

Democrat attempts to overturn a certified election result that went against them in Iowa shows what hypocritical manipulators they are and reveals their real intent – to seize complete control over every aspect of our lives.
I’m 52 years old and have never been more discouraged about our country than I am now. I’m glad I’m as old as I am, because I pity the coming generations. Nations rise, and, sadly, nations fall. Good luck, youngsters.
Today, I have learned that the Supreme Court of the United States has decided in its " wisdom " that it won't hear the evidence relating to the alleged fraud in the recent American elections. I found it peculiar that they said that the situation was MOOT. In this context, it says that it doesn't matter anymore because the states agreed with the decision and confirmed the election results - it does not need to be dealt with, because Sniffy Joe and the Henchmen ( sounds like a great name for a pop group ) have been approved and that is an end to it.
" Something has happened that solves the issue. "
MOOT has muted us.
This morning, I went down to the parking garage at my apartment complex. The goal? To put some shopping bags in my car.
On my way back up to my unit, a dog flew out of nowhere and knocked me off my feet and landed me on the concrete walkway. My shoulder is buggered and I have grazes all along my arm. I never did a thing wrong: I was watching my step and walking carefully and bang! Arse over tit and lying like a cast whale on the pathway moaning and wondering what the hell just happened.
Sounds like life today, doesn't it? One minute, you are cruising through life and having a good time and then bang. Out for the count. As I lay there, trying to figure out what the hell just happened, I realised that this is how the world feels right now. Knocked over by a lying dog faced pony soldier who shot out of nowhere and took our feet from under us.
Croatian chess player Antonio Radic, known to his million subscribers as ‘Agadmator,’ runs the world’s most popular chess channel on YouTube. Last summer he found his account suspended due to its “harmful and dangerous” content. Radic, who was in the middle of a show with Grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura at the time, was puzzled. He received no explanation for the ban, which was reversed on appeal, but speculated that YouTube’s censorship algorithm may have heard him say something like “black goes to B6 instead of C6, white will always be better.”
On the 19th of February 1942, the isolated northern city of Darwin in Australia was bombed by the Japanese. Back then, it was a small isolated outpost at the top end of Australia and represented the last post of defence of Australia against the Japanese. It is probably still the last post in Australian Defense. The Port of Darwin is leased to China.
While our forces, along with the Americans, defended our Nation against the threat from " the yellow peril " our boys slogged their guts out on the Kokoda Trail, in the deserts of North Africa and the horror of the European War. Our country was left rather defenceless and we mucked on, carried on and did our bit to make do and mend. As did our Kiwi mates, our Yankee mates and our Pommy mates.
Now THAT, WAS WHEN WE WERE ALL IN IT TOGETHER? That was when the words meant something

I mean it really bothers me these millions of Texas families are suffering. I couldn’t sleep actually...
So I woke up this morning, made coffee and got to researching.
I started pulling Biden’s EO’s this morning and I found something buried in the Keystone Pipeline EO..... way towards the end of the doc.
It turns out that the same day Biden shut down the Keystone Pipeline, he also lifted the security on our power grid for 90 days (Trump’s EO the year prior secured our power grid by giving China no access.)

As thousands flee Victoria to escape the tyranny of Comrade Dan, there is a fallout that no one appears to be admitting to yet - the impact on the workers of hospitality industry-reliant areas in Queensland.
I may be wrong of course. I have been known to be wrong from time to time. But what I am seeing and hearing up here in the Pluck a duck banana republic zone is that things are about to get really worrying.
In my small town, rents are skyrocketing as the exodus builds. New arrivals from the southern states are increasing and, as leases come up for renewal, the incumbent tenants are being told to pay up or piss off.
