If the pandemic policy response had taken the form of mere advice, we would not be in the midst of this social, economic, cultural, political disaster. What caused the wreckage was the application of political force that was baked into the pandemic response this time in a way that has no precedent in human history.

It's tough being a bloke these days. It's tough being a woman these days. It's tough being a kid these days. In fact, life is tough for pretty much everyone who is " old school " conservative and has more than a few functioning brain cells left in their head. The simple job of living has become a government enterprise and is being rebranded as EXISTING. SURVIVING this insanity. We are living in a circus and fair ground where the circus reigns supreme and absolutely nothing is fun and it certainly is not fair.

The late and great George Carlin was as prophetic as he was a comic genius. Delivered in 2005, prior to his passing in 2008, this incredible piece rings more alarm bells today than all those years ago. In it he says "It's called the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it." -George Carlin

When Dr Suess was " banned " by Cancel Culture I wondered why. His books were nonsense and delightfully foolish. Harmless fun. Simple words to delight and educate children in a way that entertained and put smiles on little faces.
In fact, being a Dr Suess fan all of my life, I have always had one of his books in my home and I am nearly 70. So why am I writing about frogs, footwear, fantasy and fluffy pillows? Well, read the article and you may understand,

This morning I received an email from a banned poster. It contained accusations and questions that held some of my personal information and - to be honest - I found it as low as it was disgraceful.

In 1972, President Richard Nixon visited mainland China, opening the door for diplomatic relations between the two countries. It was a dramatic visit, as Nixon became the first United States President to visit the communist nation.
Nixon met with Chinese dictator Mao Zedong, who is considered the world’s greatest mass murderer. During the “Great Leap Forward,” between 1958 and 1962, over 45 million Chinese were killed of starvation, torture and other barbaric methods.

If you are like me, you will probably be sick and tired of this Covid, Vaccine, Climate Change, Build Back Better roundabout. It just keeps going around and around like an old vinyl record on permanent replay, or the movie " Groundhog Day " watched over and over and over again. I want to get to my destination, but, what worries me is that the destination may be so awful that I would be better off on the carousel. Waiting it out.
