Random Notes - Idle ThoughtsRandom Note —- China Beijing hauls in Aussie envoy
Interesting to watch as China attempts to frame and pitch itself as the victim in all of this. Like, how dare we try and thwart their attempts to undermine Australia and get us to bend to their will.
Why Jerusalem Matters — American Thinker
Other nations will surely follow suit, as even the most timid among them may eventually move their embassies to Jerusalem. Donald Trump paved the way. He is only the third president to offer such a magnanimous gesture to Israel. Harry Truman did in 1948 when the U.S. became the first nation to recognize the new State of Israel. Richard Nixon saved Israel in the 1973 Yom Kippur War with an unprecedented massive military airlift. Both presidents suffered the opposition of allies and friends alike. Both were there for Israel when it mattered most.

Time to raise the voting age: Teens sliding on civics — The Australian
Australian teenagers are more socially aware than ever, are passionate about human rights, ethical shopping and protecting the environment, but almost two-thirds lack the basic knowledge required to become informed and active citizens in our democracy. Civics and citizenship has been a highly politicised part of the curriculum in recent years, amid complaints that it harbours an “anti-Western bias”, content is vague and repetitive, and students emerge lacking substantial knowledge of government and politics.
Random Note —- Kristina Keneally
So with absolutely no stellar achievements in politics, business, or the public service, no particular skill set, dedication or effort, she is appointed Premier, considered as an ambassadorial appointment, tapped for Bennelong and appointed to the senate if Project Bennelong hits the wall.

Your daily schadenfreude today is a delicious mix of blissful ignorance and total obliviousness demonstrated by young people who show no signs of growing into adults anytime soon. An insurance company conducted a survey and found that 72% of 16- to 24-year-olds don’t like being referred to as “snowflakes.” But the kicker from this survey is that 72% believe that being called a “snowflake” damages their mental health.
Random Note — Gee, didn’t see that coming. Well, whowouldathunkit.
Having established a beachhead and less than 48 hours after the vote, the Rainbow Gestapo activists are on the move to their next phase like Rommel’s tanks fanning out and rolling across North Africa. Good one Australia, giving the thumbs up from inside your teary, emotional, uninformed bubble to something without knowing or even wanting to know the detail or understanding the fine print. (or lack thereof).
Random Note —- Trumps decision to move the US Israel embassy to Jerusalem. Onya Trump
Dream or vision or not, that was enough to invade and lay claim to the Jewish holy city in 637AD, five years after Mohammad had died, and build their Dome on The Rock on top of the Jewish Temple Mount. The same Temple Mount over which UNESCO in October 2016 passed a resolution that denies Jewish ties to its most holy religious sites: the Temple Mount and the Western Wall. The vote was 24 – 6. The sheer effrontery and dare I say, chutzpah, of the Arab states sponsoring the resolution is unbelievable.
Random Note: Billing the Victim — A disturbing development .
This disturbing development of billing the victim can only by construed as the hammer and anvil of the deep state in an endeavour to stifle and muzzle conservative free speech. I’m hard pressed to think of a single example where it would be your garden variety conservatives on a violent rampage against a speaker or gathering of the left.
