Nothing's wrong with a black mayor boasting of hiring blacks for senior positions in his administration in order to look out for the interests of "our people." After all, civil rights laws are on the books only to protect "minority groups." Non-minorities being the victims of discrimination? Meh. That is the apparent position of New York Times podcaster Lulu Garcia-Navarro. She was part of Tuesday's CNN This Morning panel reacting to Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson's comments on his hires, and the ensuing DOJ investigation into them. Panelist Michael Warren of The Dispatch said: "I think the mayor shouldn't be talking...

mysterious Lord: the silent hidden God mercy and refuge lodge inside the shadows of His wings My friend, anglo-catholic Anglican bishop David Farrer, describes George Pell’s prison journals as “remarkably uplifting” and said he is grateful for the way they help us to pray. Above is a prayer which I have shaped today from words of the Cardinal about mass in the May 20, 2019 entry to the journal and from the words of Psalm 57 which he quotes in that entry. Lest We Forget: Cardinal George Pell, a truly great man of God, thrown to the lions by a...

VIDEOInverse Cramer Effect. It never fails as an accurate prediction of where the economy is going. Most recently this was proven when Jim Cramer preached ecomonic doom and gloom on Trump's tariffs including BLACK MONDAY. This prediction of economic woe was reinforced by liberals and the news media who piously proclaimed that China would NEVER negotiate on tariffs. Oooops! Better tell that to the official Chinese team coming to Switzerland to negotiate tariffs with Team Trump.And remember everybody... BEAR STEARNS!!!

Abbott’s statement: “(It is) a significant achievement (by Anthony Albanese) to be the first Prime Minister since John Howard and the first Labor Prime minister since Bob Hawke to be returned to government ……… What I really do want to say though is to reassure people who voted Liberal (in Australia that means conservative because the biggest conservative party is called the Liberal Party) today and people who normally vote for the coalition not to lose heart. At our best we are the freedom party. We are the tradition party. We are the patriot party and at our best I...

For people like me, the Australia I was born into, was a meritocracy where one wage could get a family a home. Times have changed. The forty hour week is gone for far too many people. But endeavour still inspires me. Youth brings me hope. As in my above poeticised image from a Maribyrnong Park Football Club match last Saturday. Today we need them to be lions. Reminds me of Shakespeare: “To be, or not to be, that is the question: Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms...

The Media has been covering up the reality of January 6 for over four years now. Prager U CEO Marissa Streit interviewed two “influencers”–John Strand and Brandon Straka– who were arrested, jailed, and nearly financially ruined in what appears to be a clear attempt by the Biden administration to make an example of them. If you have an open mind and heart, you will outraged at what you see. You will learn shocking information you’ve likely never heard before. President Trump pardoned / commuted the sentences of those involved. Getting these Americans out of prison was a great first step....

In Alice Springs in 1989, an Englishwoman seeing Australian Rules football for the first time on television said to me, “There are no rules.” I said to her “You cannot understand Australia without understanding this game.” But I couldn’t explain why. I still can’t. It’s something to do with freedom. Freepers, I need your thoughts.

Cecil B Demille’s 1927 film, King Of Kingz, is a visual feast, one of the most unremittingly great depictions of the story of Jesus I have ever seen. Ave Maria for Mary and Waltzing Matilda for Peter. AVE Matilda.

Aren't these two lines by Amin Realty contradictory? "Belal Qureshi is not, and has not been, an employee of Amin Realty."

"Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered the conscription of 160,000 men into the army, state media reported, marking the largest draft initiative in years, even as ceasefire talks with Ukraine continue under U.S. mediation. The timing and scale of the draft raise doubts about Russia's commitment to diplomacy. Ukraine has accused the Kremlin of using negotiations to delay while reinforcing its position on the battlefield, particularly in the Sumy, Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia regions. On Sunday, U.S. President Donald Trump said he would issue secondary tariffs on Russian oil if he believed Moscow was standing in the way of a peace...

This morning in church onelbourne, Australia, I heard a wonderful priest talk of Lent as a time for reset. A Great Reset? The priest talked of Lent as a time to reset and of Jesus going into the wilderness; 40 days with no food; a letting go of entitlements and expectations of selfish power The priest said “Desert strips away illusions.” leading us to the truth of “who we are.” This phrase reminds me of Pope Benedict’s “Lent stimulates us to let The Word of God penetrate our life and in this way to know the fundamental truth: who we...

Globalism, 18th century style. This was extremely common at the time, in the cultural sphere. "Don Giovanni", Mozarts' opera, opened in Prague, Bohemia in 1787. Mozart was a Austro-German, his librettist Da Ponte was a Venetian-Italian ex Jew and ex-priest. All sung in Italian by an international cast, none, I think, were Czechs/Bohemians. "Don Giovanni" is based on a Spanish legend, that became a Spanish play in verse (think Shakespeare) by Tirso de Molina, which was ripped off by the French playwright Moliere (and others). All produced with permission and tacit support by the Holy Roman Emperor Joseph II. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXJj5_avNpI...
