Note: since writing this article, Trump has strengthened his grip on the 2020 election and he won't be impeached. Thus this has displace the prediction above to 2024... Who knows... 

More note: the Ukrainian/Trump affair is yet another distraction in the gamut of weapons the Dems have against him. Some of his GOP colleagues do not understand the game being played. Meanwhile, no documents from the White House, no impeachment possible on this issue. The White House can tell the Impeachment inquiry to go and suck eggs till the sky falls off...

We need a royal commission into the corruption and decay of Australian politics

An industry insider has heaped scorn on the push to create electricity from "clean" coal-fired power, dismissing it as unviable.

Really? Did we finance the rise of Bin Laden as a side-show by helping the Mujehadeens fight the communists? Did we finance some terrorist organisations to prevent socialism overtaking some countries? Are those terrorists now giving us a taste of what we have paid for? YES.

Is our media so dumb as not to see that the rabid dogs we have fed with cash and weaponry are now biting our hand? NO.

The result of the British election should produce seismic change in Australian politics. But it almost certainly won’t.

Within hours of the bombing at Manchester Arena last month, police had identified the lone wolf suicide bomber they alleged was behind the attack.

An NSA document purporting to show Russian military hacker attempts to access a Florida company which makes voter registration software is sent anonymously to The Intercept. A low-level NSA contractor, Reality Winner, is arrested almost immediately.

What’s wrong with this picture? A lot.

Who Benefits?

The New York Post has a bitchy article on Gwyneth Paltrow today. It’s not the first paper to demonise her about her “beliefs”. Sure, if I was Gweneth, I’d get my head examined but so should anyone who believe in god almighty and/or in Santa Claus -- and democratic monarchy. 

It's not the Queen's Birthday
The date is a fake

Australia, the Cake!

I could be totally wrong but I have a feeeling that we’ve all been Trumped. Trump has been bombastic, chauvinistic, illogical, anti-stuff and yet the result of what he’s done is giving us a greater sense of what we need to do. That is far better than should Hillary got her patroness mittens on the handles of power, we would have been sold more pups.
