Random Notes - Idle ThoughtsTime 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. All without having to lift so much as a finger.

Snowflakes resent being referred to as ‘snowflakes’ — American Thinker
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.
Random Note —- Bob Carr looks to deny Adani funding
Like Sam Dastyari, Bob Carr has been a sinophile and a shill for China and Chinese interests for a very long time. This is the disturbing and disruptive new tactic we’ve seen deployed by the left in recent times when they can’t win the argument or simply want to close out and close down any opposition or defy the will of the government of the day. This weeks example has been the lobbying and threatening of violent demonstrations at hotels and venues hosting Milo Yiannopoulos. In the US there have been several attempts by the masters of Astroturfing, Media Matters in recent times by putting pressure on Fox News to get rid of presenters like Sean Hannity by threatening boycotts of advertisers products.

Labor and the Greens don’t want a ban on foreign donations, particularly to GetUp because this sinister and shadowy outfit are a Labor proxy and although they don’t donate directly to Labor, they run arms length hand in glove, sock puppet, media and ground campaigns (door knocking, handouts and robo calls) during the election proper deliberately targeting conservative MP’s while promoting their Labor mates.
Random Note — Milo Yiannopoulos and Saul Alinsky
Rule four holds that “ridicule is man’s most potent weapon” and it is Yiannopoulos’s ability to articulate his position with self deprecating good humour and ridicule of the opposition that drives and turbo charges the rage and unhinged fury of the feral flotsam and jetsam, rabble without a cause, protesting on the streets of Melbourne on Monday night. They can’t handle it.
