Paris streets were filled with protesters; the city was burning; more than 15,000 federal troops were gathered to stand by for trouble; the people were starving; the king fired the dude in charge of finances without any impact; the Bastille (prison) was attacked, and prisoners freed; the protestors paraded the heads of the Bastille defenders through the streets. When the news reached King Louis at his palace in Versailles, he exploded, “This is revolt!” An aide responded, “No, Sire, it is a Revolution!”

A message from George Christensen for voters .
The Liberal National Coalition have aided and abetted state governments with vaccine mandates and pandemic restrictions, they’ve done nothing about religious freedom, they’ve got digital identity laws already drafted, they haven’t taken the Port of Darwin back from Communist China yet and they’ve failed to do anything about Big Tech censorship.
Labor is hopeless on all of these issues. We can only count on them to make a bad situation worse. They were the ones at state level — think Daniel Andrews — who wielded some of the worst pandemic powers against the people. They are also hopelessly compromised to Communist China.
At the Easter Egg hunt on the lawn of the White House, Joe Biden had to be coaxed and cajoled a few times by his wife, Jill Biden, to wave for the cameras.
When I saw this event broadcast later in the day, it reminded me of the story my mother told me of the day she and her classmates took part in the Easter Egg Hunt on the White House lawn when Calvin Coolidge was the 30th President.

Today marks the 54th anniversary of the Abortion Act coming into effect in 1968 – 6 months after it received Royal Assent.
Since then, a staggering 9,900,961* unborn babies have lost their lives to abortion across England, Wales, and Scotland — in 2020, more than one baby was lost to abortion every two and a half minutes; 25 lives were ended every hour.

“War is a racket, wrote US Maj. General Smedley Butler in 1935.
He explained: “A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small ‘inside’ group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes.”
Gen. Butler’s observation describes the US/NATO response to the Ukraine war perfectly.
