  • Beautiful Mature Aussie Nurse Condemns The Leftist Culture Of Fear

    08/13/2022 8:04:48 PM PDT · by Ozguy1945 · 22 replies
    Pauline (https://freedom-demokrasi-and-civilised-humanity.com/2022/08/08/women-for-freedom-9-pauline/) has decades of experience in nursing and is one of the Australian city of Melbourne's strongest opponents of the culture of fear of the Socialist Left government of this state where health care is increasingly a facade of lies. At the moment the freedom movement in which she is one of the best voices is small compared to the massive international over reach of government and some corporate power which she denounces. I pray for change so people can live their lives their own way again without being crippled by fear. God Bless Pauline.

    Living a successful life take personal initiative and courage and sacrifice. My biggest beef with Republicans over the years was how gutless so many of them were. Trump was such a breath of fresh air, a fighter. He did inspire some to get a backbone. I read these citations often and thought it would be very fitting to share the link today on Memorial Day. Very inspirational and a reminder of what traits can make one a "hero" in daily life. That is all. At ease.

    This is the extraordinary moment a lone woman waving a purple, white and green Suffragette flag was 'manhandled ' by a gang of masked trans activists. The unnamed woman supporting the campaign group Standing For Women (SFW) was assaulted during a counter-protest by the Manchester Trans Rise Up (MTRU) movement next to the city's statue of Emmeline Pankhurst in St Peter's Square.
  • Zelensky Has Pointed Out Something the Soviets Recognized in 1978: The West Has Lost its Courage

    Since Russian troops first invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has become a symbol of resistance, hope and democracy around the free world. Although the whole story is far more complex – and often much darker – Zelensky’s heroic stand against Russian despot Vladimir Putin’s invading forces has offered the West a window into what it appears to be lacking today: courage. The Atlantic recently published a piece comparing President Zelensky to Charles de Gaulle – the French military leader and president who led France against Nazi occupation during the Second World War. “Zelensky, like de Gaulle,...

    WSJ ^ | 17 April | Bob Greene
    Valor. When things were their darkest for the U.S. after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, the Doolittle Raiders gave the nation hope. Sixteen B-25s, each with a five-man crew, were lined up on the aircraft carrier USS Hornet. This had never been tried in war—sending heavy bombers off a carrier. Because the Japanese military had learned of the strategy, the planes had to take off from farther out in the Pacific than had been planned. Their mission was to hit Tokyo, but now they would lack enough fuel to reach safety beyond Japan’s borders. They went anyway. They bombed Tokyo,...

    With a white, closely trimmed beard and deep crevices around his mouth where dimples might once have been, Colonel Stetsenko cuts an unusual figure on the battlefield. He is 56 and had been retired from the military for a decade when he decided to re-enlist in 2020. By then, Ukrainian forces were already fighting a Kremlin-backed insurgency in eastern Ukraine, and Colonel Stetsenko felt he needed to do his part. “I knew that many people who had already served were tired,” he said. “It is difficult to live for so long without their families, and we needed people to serve....

    Whatever the outcome of the Ukrainian War for Independence is, the folkloric actions of its leaders are already cementing themselves as legend in the next pages of history. The epicenter of what actual adult leadership looks like has coalesced around Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy who, whatever his vices were prior to the invasion, has shown his true character by standing, in the literal sense, shoulder to shoulder with fellow citizens in the battle-scarred streets of Kiev. When offered a coward’s evacuation by the American architects of our unconditional surrender in Afghanistan, Zelenskyy famously replied, “I need ammunition, not a ride”....

    Let me offer the briefest overview of the core beliefs of the Woke Revolution, which are abundantly clear to anyone willing to look past the hashtags and the jargon. persuasion—the purpose of argument—is replaced with public shaming. Moral complexity is replaced with moral certainty. Facts are replaced with feelings. Ideas are replaced with identity. Forgiveness is replaced with punishment. Debate is replaced with de-platforming. Diversity is replaced with homogeneity of thought. Inclusion, with exclusion. But there is one word we should linger on, because every moment of radical victory turned on it. The word is cowardice.

    Christians will suffer because of what we believe. We must take the opportunity every single day, in every aspect of our lives, to demonstrate courage.What follows is adapted from a speech given at the Truth Be Told conference in Tennessee on Saturday, October 2. Twenty-eight years ago yesterday, Task Force Ranger was deployed on a mission to capture the lieutenants of a warlord who had been wreaking havoc on the people of Mogadishu, Somalia. Authorized as part of Operation Restore Hope, the mission goal was to gather intelligence that would lead to the capture of warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid. This...

    Border Patrol agents are reportedly furious with President Joe Biden’s comments on a debunked claim that some agents were whipping migrants at the border. Biden on Friday addressed claims that Border Patrol agents on horseback were “whipping” and “running … over” migrants attempting to enter the U.S. illegally. Though no evidence has been given to support the claims, Biden pledged that the agents allegedly responsible “will pay.”

    Thursday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) complained that Republican elected officials “lack the courage to level with their constituents” about how to protect themselves from coronavirus. In a video, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) said, “So why don’t you do your job? Why don’t you get this border secure, and until you do that, I don’t want to hear a blip about COVID from you.” In a video Gov. Kemp (R-GA) said, “We don’t need mandates to know what to do. We have mixed messages coming out of the White House, out of CDC. That is why...

    We are at a fraught turning point. In less than two decades we have morphed from a society that largely opposed same-sex marriage to a society that denies opposite sexes even exist. This is madness. The powers-that-be, from craven politicians to empty talking heads to anonymous internet trolls, have somehow framed the gender debate to present us with a false choice: Conform to gender activists’ demands, no matter how extreme, or you’re a “hater.” Some demands, however, are so anti-scientific, illogical and unreasonable that people of goodwill and common sense must act. Modern society is already in tatters. It won’t...

"I applaud them standing for the rights of all Americans and all Texans to express their voice through their vote, unencumbered," Harris said. "I will say that they are leaders who are marching in the path that so many others before did, when they fought and many died for our right to vote." "Fighting for the right to vote...

    As a black conservative for more than 40 years, I’m an expert on being canceled. I was canceled by the political left long before cancel culture was all the rage. If there’s one thing liberals and leftists dislike more than a conservative, it’s a black conservative. Liberal America doesn’t want to hear from African American conservatives because we go counter to its narrative that black people needed liberal saviors, especially ones who come bearing gifts of more government. But we weren’t just canceled by liberals. For decades, liberals worked to put a wedge between black conservatives and our own communities....

I and my attendants will fast as you do. When this is done, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish.” 17 So Mordecai went away and carried out all of Esther’s instructions. Esther 4:15-17
