From American friend
" After our daughter of fifteen years of age was moved to tears by the speech of Greta Thunberg at the UN the other day, she became angry with our generation “who had been doing nothing for thirty years.”
So, we decided to help her prevent what the girl on TV announced of “massive eradication and the disappearance of entire ecosystems.”
Just when you thought crazy couldn’t get any crazier, they manage to outdo themselves.

The present is the past within the blink of an eye. It is from the present that we can preserve the past and protect the future. The present is the most important time of all.
We are now facing a time whereby our Present will determine not only our Future, but our Past as well. The Left are trying to paint our memories out. Re write history. Repaint our past.

I have just read with horror the number of babies and little children being brought up as total Vegan fed victims. I wonder if the parents of these unfortunate children were similarly brought up that way.
Oh No. Probably not.
When 2015 nominations came on to the calendar, the normal line up of Presidential hopefuls were assembled. To the left, the mob of leftie luvvies headed up by Hillary Clinton.

I read this hard hitting comment on Pickering Post written by a contributor BruceRugby and was struck by what he said.

The last of his breeding cattle went to the saleyards and the SPCA said that they were too poorly to be sold. Take them home and fatten them up.

An “ asylum seeker “ detained on Manus Island has been flown to Australia, courtesy of Dr Kieren Phelps Medevac legislation which passed during her brief sojourn as a Politician. Yes, the poor chap felt deflated and inadequate after injecting his old fella with Palm Oil in the hopes that it would become a chick magnet. But, alas, it seems that instead of getting a really tall palm tree with a few ample coconuts hanging off, he ended up with a dead tree with no oil at all.
Come on Jacquie - repeal Medevac!
