From American friend
" After our daughter of fifteen years of age was moved to tears by the speech of Greta Thunberg at the UN the other day, she became angry with our generation “who had been doing nothing for thirty years.”
So, we decided to help her prevent what the girl on TV announced of “massive eradication and the disappearance of entire ecosystems.”

The present is the past within the blink of an eye. It is from the present that we can preserve the past and protect the future. The present is the most important time of all.
We are now facing a time whereby our Present will determine not only our Future, but our Past as well. The Left are trying to paint our memories out. Re write history. Repaint our past.

I read this hard hitting comment on Pickering Post written by a contributor BruceRugby and was struck by what he said.

An “ asylum seeker “ detained on Manus Island has been flown to Australia, courtesy of Dr Kieren Phelps Medevac legislation which passed during her brief sojourn as a Politician. Yes, the poor chap felt deflated and inadequate after injecting his old fella with Palm Oil in the hopes that it would become a chick magnet. But, alas, it seems that instead of getting a really tall palm tree with a few ample coconuts hanging off, he ended up with a dead tree with no oil at all.
Come on Jacquie - repeal Medevac!
