My Sister and Brother-in-law have spent the Summer in Australia. I got an email from them just a few minutes ago saying they have just fallen in love with the Aussies. She said the young people are really courteous.

Always wonderful to see our Aussie friends on the job defending freedom and civilization. Who could hope for better friends and allies?

Leftists everywhere are mourning the loss of one of their favorite Taliban commanders, another leading Islamo-fascist bites the dust....

,,,,,,how tough to be a leftist nowadays, they have so much to be sad about..... reminds me of a favorite song from Beccy Cole:
