The Native Iowan

8am on a lunevly, wet, overcast Sunday, Morosa Valley is sublime. Sat up and watched election results last night…

but first: Had a very, very cool experience yesterday… the miracle of life happened right outside the house.

I’d gone off to watch Mendoza play soccer in the morn, then brought him home for good feed. (he ate 2 Tbone steaks last even and 2 more for breakfast)

When we arrived home, Mamma#110 had dropped a pretty lil heifer baby.

The baby had been breathing air for only a short while when we go home. Mamma110 is a very experienced mother. She knows me well enough not be rattled by my watching. I stood and watched the full show… first steps, first suckle, first time getting trod on by Mamma… very cool, the miracle of life.

OH, did I mention that election-day for the land of Aus was yesterday?

The Progressive-Left agenda as led by the Labour party was touted to win by a land slide. They are preaching green everything, throwing all n everything into the renewables basket, planning huge tax-grabbing policies aimed at anyone who has saved a dime in their life, offering a lot of free stuff,  and higher wages.

They lost.

Not by a landslide, but decisively. The conservatives down here, The Liberal Party, appear to have won enough seats to form a government. The Greens and the ultra progressive, One Nation Party, lost seats if not lost the plot.

The Progressive-Left agenda has been rejected. The message is clear… screw this “spend too much on renewables” BS, build coal fired power plants instead of selling Aussie coal off shore, stop attacking workers’ savings and pensions, let folks who have made and saved a buck keep it.

I think it’s a sign of the times where this Progressive agenda that has bene percolating through society gets doused with a layer of commons sense.
