I noted OurABC 7pm news Saturday failed to note Turkey said the Western strikes were “appropriate”. A solid success for Trump to get Erdogan onside. Stunning GreenLeft bias for the ABC not to mention Turkey. It looks so far as though this very minor Western action went smoothly. I do not even see claims of significant civilian casualties – surely Assad can pony up some gullible lefty western media on hospital tours.
No claims of British or French jets shot down – not a piece of scrap metal evidence of any shoot-down I have seen. Time yet to get claims in. It is visit that viagra 100 mg recommended to take Kamagra minimum one hour before the activity. Doing Kegel exercise during sitting, standing or viagra sildenafil buy walking can prove beneficial. Weight loss program must be optimised and cheapest levitra pills as well, complete. Before using this medication device, tell your doctor of all prescription and non-prescription medicines you are taking, especially nitrate medications, to ensure you experience no increase in the dose count and a strict gap of 24 hours to be maintained during on line levitra Learn More the consumption period of time. Early days but it looks as though Russian AA is only claiming some downed cruise missiles – that will terrify the Pentagon. So did the British and French fighters stand off too far? – or does the west have countermeasures? Lots for Vlad to ponder, his economy, the rouble, wasting money on Assad. Now the Russians are locked in tighter with Assad and Iran – Oh and I forgot to add in the Houthis. The West should now keep what initiative they have and enforce as far as possible a defacto no move no fly ban on Assad’s Air Force now that they moved their aircraft to be safe close to the Russians. My impression is that the West has options now – while the Damascus Big 3 are more fenced in.

I think a true statement would be “many millions of Australians have been wishing/hoping/some praying for many years to see improvements in indigenous lives result from the large and ever increasing Govt. spending on indigenous portfolios”. ABC story

120 overseas experts giving all sorts of advice to New Zealand. Apparently farm animals make too much methane, there is a need to plant a billion trees and Govt says oil exploration and petroleum use is being phased out. Exciting times for those who can not wait to vote GreenLabour again at the 2020 election.

I see now these claims firming up – Tathra bushfire: Union says more homes would be standing if not for ‘turf war’ between fire services – Early last summer I posted – Why not the RAAF to operate large air tankers? Aerial views show Tathra to be totally surrounded by bush to the north-west and west, disaster waiting for the circumstances to fall into place. Sunday 18Mar2018 was forecast to be a hot day so there could be no surprise fire risk was elevated. I heard news that there had been no hazard reduction burns since 2014 and that Council had refused recent burns. I also heard news that I think was saying that the Bega fire trucks were not “fit for purpose” in some way and would have been useless at Tathra.

Thoughts on the Batman by-election and the South Australian election.
I see 39.7% of first preferences at Batman were for the Greens.
Yet the Greens are –
[1] against the dams which are the foundation of your water supply –
[2] pushing for more expensive & unreliable electricity from non-viable sources – and
[3] Are generally anti our resources industry which pays most of the nations bills.
[4] want to flood the country willy-nilly with migrants who have little in common with our society.

The wet and sad sack GreenLaborLite Sth Aust Liberals finally look like limping into power again after 16 years of gerrymanders and rats deserting the side. The mess left by Labor could take a decade to fix. So Liberal plans involve copying Labor grid connected batteries, an interconnector with NSW and a 10 year fracking ban – stone the crows. More money wasted without generating a watt.
Do they not realize that NSW is a big importer of electricity from Qld?
It is interesting to note that at the 2010 election the Sth Aust Libs won 51.6% of 2PP votes and in 2014 they won 53%. So it could be said Labor has been in power the last 8 years under false pretences – certainly the last 4.

Can anybody advise which invasive pests or diseases are deemed to be Maori and which are deemed Pakeha?

The movie starts with the German invasion of the Low Countries 10May40 and ends with Dunkirk – could have been called “3 weeks in May typing in smoke filled rooms”. Jokes aside well worth seeing a replay of these pivotal events in the saving of Western civilization.
I thought they could have sketched the progress of WWII to date a little better and told us a little more about Winston Churchill – this video has a 5 minute summary of his life. [Nice comment by Mary Louise Pivec – Churchill saved western civilization and for that, the Left will never forgive him.]
He was always an MP through the 1930s but by 1939 had been a decade out of Cabinet and was an isolated figure. Churchill had taken the lead in warning about the militarization and expansionist policies of Nazi Germany and in campaigning for British rearmament.
After German expansion into Austria March 1938 – Chamberlain and Hitler signed the Munich Agreement 30Sep38 and we have all seen the photos of PM Chamberlain waving his paper claiming to have won “peace in our time”.
Germany annexed parts of Czechoslovakia in March 1939 which lead the UK and France to guarantee Polish independence 31Mar39.
On 23Aug39 Hitler and Stalin signed their Non-Aggression Pact with secret provisions for the division of Poland between them.
On 3Sep39 Germany invaded Poland and UK & France declared war on Germany – keeping faith with the Poles.
On 17Sep39 Stalin walked into Poland and occupied the eastern portion without a declaration of war.
Winston Churchill was re-appointed First Lord of the Admiralty(CEO of the Royal Navy) on the outbreak of war 3Sep39.
So Churchill had been at the heart of the British war effort for eight calamitous months through the destruction of Poland, Western expansion of the USSR, Phoney War on the Western Front and the 10Apr40 German Invasion of Norway. From the 10May40 German invasion of the low countries and France he was made PM and headed a National Govt with Labour and all parties which was immediately confronted with the capitulation of their main ally France. While across the Atlantic the USA riddled with isolationists was in an election year. You could hardly imagine a more hopeless crisis.
I thought they should have mentioned the German halt order before Dunkirk – the movie over emphasized Calais IMHO. You will love the movie if you like sepia tones and gloomy interiors with lots of smoking. Worth seeing just for the portrayal of the King. Lots of chit-chat about Chamberlain and Halifax some of which I missed – need subtitles. I thought the odd portrayal of air raids by some “eye of God” camera over models was a sad fail – but we got the message. And I doubt WSC spoke to people on the tube as portrayed – but movies are art. I could see it again and will see the DVD in time.
