UAPs. No, not Clive’s lot
With the depressing election, and what not, my mind turned away, to almost anything of light relief. Lo and behold a U.S. House committee was being informed by the Pentagon of UFO sightings by military personnel, all 400 of them apparently in this century. Also, for you UFO spotters out there, they’re now called Unidentified…

Moderates versus Airheads. Like versus like?
Ten little nondescripts trawling for some votes. Nine didn’t make the grade then there was one. My federal electorate is North Sydney, where Trent Zimmerman is the sitting member. Yes, I know, I have your sympathies. There are ten candidates for the seat, including Trent. I have seen Trent twice on the hustings. Once outside…

Abortion and the Left’s Lies
You may recall Hillary Clinton getting into trouble in the run up to the 2016 election in the United States for referring to an unborn baby as, err, well, an unborn baby. A complete no-no for the Dems who need to consider an unborn baby to be a non-human, a fetus, so that it can…

On getting the politicians “they” deserve
I missed the debate. I was out. I have it recorded, waiting to be watched. Do I really, really, have to watch it? I met a neighbour who said she’d watched it; said it was very civil. And that the audience behaved. Even more reasons not to watch it. She didn’t mention the incident of…

When being far-right is just right
“Emmanuel Macron has won the first round of the French election and far-right rival Marine Le Pen will fight him for the presidency for a second time.” This extract is from the BBC. “France’s incumbent leader Emmanuel Macron and far-right challenger Marine Le Pen are heading for an April 24 presidential election run-off.” This is…

Untenable end games don’t produce enduring peace
Ex-footballer Matt Le Tissier, now aged 53, resigned from his role as ambassador for his old club Southampton for retweeting a sceptical post about the events in Bucha. Apparently, the post noted the media lies about Saddam’s WMDs, Covid, and Hunter’s laptop, and queried whether the truth was being told about Bucha. Twitter outrage followed;…

Irony is the second casualty of war
Searched but haven’t found anything. Irony is hard to find in wartime; most particularly among the Left. That covers, among others, most politicians and mainstream media pundits. Morrison is in high dudgeon over the Solomon Island security pact with China. A grave concern echoed in the United States. Cameron Stewart, writing in the Australian, quoted…

Barmy budgets and Mindless masks
I watched the budget speech. Found it very boring of course. Billions here, billions there, billions almost everywhere. Debt on its way to a trillion. Who cares? I remember caring when debt and deficits mattered. Wayne Swan was always chasing surpluses without ever catching one. Though it didn’t stop him from being named by the…

A Secret Weapon in Poland?
Joe’s in Poland. A secret weapon? Did he say that any use of chemical weapons would “trigger a response in kind?” Has America stockpiles of chemical weapons at the ready? Deny it if you like, but the words of the US Commander-in-Chief count for something. Don’t they? Did he actually say to American troops in…

Bellicosity by Proxy
Saw a reference to Zelensky being akin to Batman in the minds of western media pundits. If he were Batman, fighting who? Could be Joker, or Riddler or Penguin etc., but given Putin’s well-publicised way of dealing with opponents, I’d plump for Poison Ivy. Farfetched? You ain’t seen nothing yet. From comic-book allusions to the…
