When Benjamin Disraeli said “I must follow the people. Am I not their leader? “ he was on the money. Leaders do not seek to create a new world of their vision, but to preserve or improve the vision that the people already have and hold dear. Or they may seek to create the vision that the people have.
Either way, it is not THEIR vision; it is the vision of the People.
Trump got this. He understood that his role was not to ask his People to follow him but rather to allow the American People to get on with their lives, make money, make babies and make memories of which they could be proud.
His role? To Follow His People.

In his classic dystopian novel 1984, George Orwell famously wrote, “If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—for ever.” This striking image served as a potent symbol for totalitarianism in the 20th Century. But as Caylan Ford recently observed, with the advent of digital health passports in the emerging biomedical security state, the new symbol of totalitarian repression is “not a boot, but an algorithm in the cloud: emotionless, impervious to appeal, silently shaping the biomass.” The new forms of repression will be no less real for being virtual rather than physical.
" When we have people who applaud this, what hope do we have? This video is not pleasant, but it must be seen. Thousands of innocent unborn children are torn to pieces every day in the U.S. because most people simply don't know what abortion actually does. With the exception of the final scene (a second-trimester fetus), all of the video you will see depicts children who were killed during first-trimester abortions. Please do not watch this if you are easily upset. I watched it and I am weeping. "

Australian politicians have drifted a long way to the left since the days of Robert Menzies and Arthur Fadden. Starting with Gough Whitlam, Malcolm Fraser, Don Chipp and Bob Brown, there has developed a monotonous uniformity in main-stream Australian politics.
Over the years, a green slime has infected all major parties - they now differ in details but not in principle. This greening of politics has reached the stage when a politician like Malcolm Turnbull has trouble deciding whether to join the Greens, the ALP or the Leafy-green Liberals.
Australia’s highest Law is our Australian Constitution. Any laws not made under our Constitution are unlawful. State Law is subject to our Australian Constitution, as are all Local Government laws.
Any laws which infringe, erode or deny our Inalienable Natural Rights are unlawful. Such laws are repugnant to the Australian Constitution which enshrines your Inalienable Natural Rights.

During the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, Muslims fast, pray, engage in acts of piety and charity, and reminisce over warfare and bloodshed in the name of Islam.
Virtually every Ramadan features various Islamic authorities, personages, and/or institutes reminding Muslims to take pride in and celebrate various historic battles between Muslims and non-Muslims, or “infidels”. Among other things, such victories are meant to demonstrate the power, and thus truth, of Islam.

Once upon a time there were 3 little pigs.
One was named Squeaky, one was named Boss Hog and one was named " Voter. "
Of all the pigs, Voter " was the most powerful pig - only he didn't realize it.
The 3 little pigs lived quite happily for many years in the house that they called " Australia. "

Most people in Australia know what a feral pig is. They are a major pest and they pose an enormous threat to our agricultural industry because they destroy crops and pasture and they spread weeds and disease. They prey on our livestock.
We have a feral pig outbreak unlike any other in the history of our great Nation. Because they are in our cities and urban environments and they are somehow able to do their damage by remote control while safely gobbling at a trough in Canberra and our State capital cities.
But, for one day only, there is a chance to cull the herd and it is the 21st of May.
