THE United States has led the free world for the best part of a century, producing a record number of truly great world leaders, among whom, it can be confidently predicted, objective future historians will unhesitatingly include President Donald Trump.
THE Reichstag fire, Hitler’s justification for dictatorship, was the greatest tragedy of the 20th century, while Nancy Pelosi used the Capitol riot as the basis for the Republic’s most farcical impeachment.
“A RIOT is the language of the unheard,” said Martin Luther King in an entirely different context. Purloined by the American mainstream media, it was used to justify looting and burning by the far-Left Black Lives Matter movement and Antifa, effectively the paramilitary wing of the Democratic Party.
“A YEAR after coronavirus emerged in Wuhan, China’s Xi declares 2020 a triumph.” The Washington Post thus approvingly headlined the Communist Chinese dictator’s New Year Address to celebrating crowds ignoring social distancing in the streets of Wuhan, the very place from where Xi released a plague onto an unsuspecting world.
THE adoption of an abortion law so extreme it sanctions the killing of any innocent who dares survive has been greeted by a standing ovation in the Senate. That was the New York State Senate, not Australia’s. But a standing ovation greeted the introduction (by a man) of a hitherto secret abortion bill rammed through the NSW Parliament in 2019.
WHY do politicians so often make decisions based not on judgement but on computer modelling? This is notwithstanding the telling observation attributed to the great Anglo-American statistician, Professor George EP Box, “All models are wrong, but some are useful.” It’s like all those pundits and commentators who were sure that based on faulty polls, Bill Shorten would win the last Federal election.
THE free world is looking to the United States with apprehension. Since Churchill handed the mantle to Roosevelt, the US president has been the leader of the free world, its defender against the forces of evil, whether they be Nazi, Communist or terrorist.
From the moment he and Melania glided down the golden escalator at Trump Tower to announce his candidature, the denizens of the swamp have been determined to eliminate Donald Trump.
OUR SAS have been appallingly treated.Why has the government, with the high command, effectively declared war on Australian soldiers who served in Afghanistan, including those who died?
NEVER surrender. Following Dunkirk, Churchill led the British in refusing to treat with Hitler. It was indeed their finest hour. Trump, too, will never surrender, but as always, he will follow the Constitution to the letter. While he has the love of America’s salt of the earth, the establishment loathe him.
