What a situation we are in , both here and New Zealand where farmers who have done their bit by producing food and fruit are having no one to help pick and collect it. Result ... being ploughed back into the ground or left in the case of fruit to rot under the trees or bushes.I can understand no foreign backpackers or seasonal pickers arriving because of the Virus restrictions. But surely we have enough unemployed younger and fit people who can join with others to help harvest the food the hard working farmers have worked so hard to produce.

On November 11th, 1918, at 11 o'clock in the morning, the end of the First World War was announced: Germany surrendered to the Allied Forces. After 4 long years of bloodshed, the final Armistice was signed...
In this time of turbulence and upheaval, we must not forget the battles fought for us and how the sacrifice of others has given us the freedom to protest, the freedom to speak out and the freedom to vote and have those freedoms protected.
As we move through this period of upheaval, please take time out to remember this. Were it not for those brave men and women, this debacle over who won or lost an election would not be on the table. In fact, the word " freedom " would have long ago been erased from our dictionaries.

Over the mounting decades of my life, I have seen many times of foul weather and many fair weather friends abandon ship at the first sign of a storm front.
It is only when things are in their darkest hour that we see who is truly with us and who was only along for the ride.
President Trump is certainly in the midst of a hell of a storm and, as the winds reach hurricane force, he has seen so many jump ship and head to shore without so much as a wave goodbye.
Journalist Alex Newman believes that this 2020 election fraud is the biggest in the history of the free world. Newman says, “This is on a whole other level. They are not just trying to steal our money, they are trying to steal our country, our future, our liberties and our constitutional system of government. That is, by definition, treason. It is waging war against the United States. The fact that no charges are being filed and no investigations going on it tells you everything you need to know about AG Barr, the DOJ and the FBI. . . . There is a coup underway right now, a coup d’état. . . .Their goal is a complete overthrow of the United States of America.”
Dominion. Is it a Computer glitch?
No. Controlling the results by percent required the use of decimals.
Is there anything that this man cannot do? I am awe struck by his majesty and magnificence. He is able to rally the dead from their tombs; the people suffering from multiple personality disorder and get each and every personality to vote for him.
It is breathtaking to behold. His ability to garner loyalty from the dead and the people who did not even know that they were voting is astonishing.
This man is like the second coming of Christ. He can bring Lazarus back from the dead and get him to vote Joe Biden. It truly is a miracle.
While everyone else in the world is watching the news and either crying in their stiff whiskey or toasting with the same enjoyable drink depending on their hero.. be it President Trump or ex Vice President Biden I am enjoying the sight of 3 new puppies in the street.Two are being brought up free of a chain and taken to romp on the beach.One is on a chain. All loved but one is different from the others. He is on a chain.
I had a get together with Redhead and my eldest daughter this morning and one thing I can say with great certainty is that 2020 changed to world as we know it and there is no coming back from it.
This is the year that changed our perceptions of what is normal. It created an atmosphere of mistrust and division, unlike any year in history. It created sides. I don't mean taking a side like we do when we support our favourite sporting team or whether or not we support abortion or the existence of multiple genders. This is the year that fractured society, families and friendships.
We went from being fundamentally united to fundamentally divided. And I do not believe that there is a road back to unity.

It's hard to know where to start when it comes to the current state of the American election. One minute I am full of optimism and confident that Trump will prevail - the next minute, another batch of dodgy votes miraculously appear and each and every one of them is for Biden.
If anyone thinks that this has been an honest election, then I, as the saying goes, have a bridge to sell you.
It's an old Aussie saying that there is nothing worse than a sponger. To many people around the world, a sponge is either a soft cake or something used in a kitchen to soak up crappy water from the bench.
Or, as it is used down under, someone who sucks the life out of those that around them. A sponger is someone who contributes nothing but absorbs other people's hard earned wealth and wages and wishes to use that in order to sit back and do sweet bugger all.
