"It's happening already mhaze,

SYRIAN REBELS SAY THEY WILL NOW MOVE TO CONQUER ISRAEL"

It was one bloke AC. Not the rebels' but one blowhard. Why do you keep falling for this rubbish?

Meanwhile al-Jolani..."We are open to friendship with everyone in the region - including Israel. We don't have enemies other than Assad, Hezbullah and Iran. what Israel did against Hezbullah in Lebanon helped us a great deal. We are now taking care of the rest".

It would be folly to take any Islamist at his word, but, who knows, maybe this guy just wants to make a better Syria for his people rather than fight against the great Satan. We should assume that's the case until we see differently.

Trumpster, Happy festive season, etc etc.

But one blowhard. Why do you keep falling for this rubbish? Why do you keep falling for Donald's fake news my little Trumpy mate, like; The Haitians are eating all the dogs and cats, and probably the guinea pigs as well. Don't laugh, in some parts of South America guinea pig is considered a real delicacy, I believe they fricassee it like chicken. Just like you consider a feed of roasted wombat with goanna sauce a delicacy, they think the same about guinea pigs. My South American d-in-l told me so, and she should know, being for those parts, although born in Australia. But don't tell your man Donald, he'll want to kicker her back to Mexico.

"Tis the Season"

Last night I watched "Travel Guides". This time they went
to Finland.

With Christmas just around the corner - it made for great
viewing.

Caroline Keys Australian Christmas card illustrator tells
us that it's hard to get excited about snow, reindeers, and
steamed puddings, when you're celebrating Christmas in the
Southern Hemisphere enjoying long hot days and feasting on
seafood and wonderful summer fruit.

Yet there's one tradition that most of us can all share -
either with our families, friends, and those that matter to
us. Or remembering those who aren't with us. As well
as making donations to those that need it to brighten their
day.

Christmas is about more than just food and gift-giving. It's
about sharing and doing our best towards a better tomorrow
for everyone. About love and peace and hope and a better tomorrow.

With that thought - May the blessings and joy this Christmas
Season be with you throughout the coming year 2025.
National unity - not division - please?

We have to congratulate Paul on his most recent post. It was complete rubbish but it didn't contain any actual errors of fact which makes it a very unusual post for Paul.

Even though his post was completely off-topic, just a couple of things:

1. Paul, did you see the story a week or so ago about a Haitian women in Ohio being arrested for killing and eating a neighbours cat. She was caught red handed - literally...the blood was still on her hands. But I know that even as you read this its disappearing down your well used memory-hole.

2. Dudeists celebrate 6 March as their foundation day. So as to not be left out of the Saturnalia joy, we also celebrate Festivus, 23 December - but without tinsel...I find it distracting

Hi Trumpster,

I was getting into the festive mood, and immediately thought of you and your Xmas dinner. BTW; What have the Syrians got to do with religious freedom? They let everyone out of prison, even the real baddies.
