Random Notes - Idle Thoughts
Random Note โ Charlie Kirk
His principle was both to be informative and entertaining and guided by the three words on his marquee:
โ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฏ๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ง๐ โ โ ๐๐ก๐๐ฒ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐๐งโ๐ญ, ๐ฌ๐จ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ฒ ๐ค๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐ ๐ก๐ข๐ฆ ๐ข๐ง๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐๐
Random Note โ Shark Nets, Bush Fire Hazard Reduction and Renewables (there is a link)
We often hear the boffins and the ideologues like Zali Steggall or the teals and Greens, even Labor refer to the โ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ข๐๐ง๐๐โ ๐จ๐ซ โ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ฑ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ญ๐ฌโ as if the use of those words elevates the matter at hand to an intellectual plane mere mortals simply wonโt understand. By...
Random Note โ Shark Nets and Ideological Inconsistency
Reading about yesterdayโs shark attack at Dee Why Beach and Iโm thinking about how councils will dictate all manner of rules and regulations, guidelines and guardrails. Fencing and resus signage around a pool makes perfect sense. Even a verandah above 90 centimetres...
A Random Reboot โ Climate (from a number of years ago)
It is recorded, geological and historical fact that there has always been changes to climate. But note how the default argument is to try and frame anyone who disagrees with the reasons, as a denier or a heretic of climate change as a general principle, when that is...
Random Note โ Tantrums and TDS
When I re-read this Charles Krauthammer column from December 2003, from his book, Things That Matter, you realise that Trump Derangement Syndrome is not new and not a phenomenon reserved for Trump. It is for anyone right of centre who defeats the liberal left. The...
Random Thought โ Jews, Palestinians and Bondi Beach. Are we paying attention yet Australia?
In a funny kind of way this invasion and civil unrest of such an iconic location is a good thing in so much that Australiaโs heritage and culture is ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐จ/๐๐ก๐ซ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐๐ง/๐๐จ๐ง๐๐ข ๐๐๐๐๐ก in that order. In addition, Bondi and the eastern suburbs is the central hub of the Jewish...
Random Note โ The Quiet Revolution
Stick with me on this.. Many people are starting to wonder, what the hell has happened in the UK. Is seems like itโs come out of nowhere. Not so. Itโs been coming for the last 140 yearsโฆ People being jailed for displaying the British flag or simply expressing a view...
Random Note โ Political Systems
Listening to Miranda Devineโs podcast interview with Doug Burgham, Trumpโs Secretary of the Interior overnight and he has the most incredible story. While listening it occurred to me that with all its problems, Burgham's story highlights why the American system (with...
Israel: Something’s going on. Something to think about
Israel:-- Something's going on. Something to think about The best video you'll see all day Israel โ Thereโs something about Israel that makes people uncomfortable and itโs not what they say it is. Theyโll point to politics, settlements, borders and wars but scratch...
Random Note โ Net Zero
The thing about the dumping of Net Zero is that I think itโs only being talked about by political insiders, the media, political junkies, climate zealots, believers and aficionados. Itโs an in-house echo chamber. Does the average person even know or understand what it...
