Heterosexual love is rarely praised anymore, but Kim’s comment about why he cares for his wife was as beautiful and as real as any Shakespearean sonnet.After the show, I told my parents what he’d said, because after 62 years married, my dad cares for my mum the same way. “That’s what I always tell them,” Dad said.“They’re always calling me your mum’s carer, and I always reply, ‘I’m not her carer — I’m her husband.’”

Years ago, these men pledged to love their women, their wives, in sickness and in health. I guess to some men — like Kim, my father, and many others — they actually meant what they said when they made this vow, “I do.”But instead of celebrating these great heterosexual lovers, we have a court system primed to rip these men from their families and a media that loves to label them “toxic.”Well, when we lose the ability to value real love — that tenacious love stripped down to its core union, which still holds two hearts together despite the storms of hardship and loss — then perhaps it’s time for all of us to pause, look into the private mirror hiding in our souls, and ask:“Mirror, mirror in my soul, in the time I have left in this light, is there someone out there I can truly love?”Michael

The persecution of Dr My-Le Trinh is a perfect example of how out of control our government is.The only outcome they appear to desire is one thing: obedience.This hunger for obedience overrides common sense, what's good for society in general, and—most disturbing of all—the Hippocratic Oath. Her crime?During COVID, when ivermectin was still legal to prescribe off-label, she administered it to a woman who was dying from COVID but had checked herself out of hospital.Not only did the treatment work, but Dr Trinh believes she saved the woman's life.Yet the punishment has been suspension of her licence, years of being dragged through these cases, and all the money she's had to spend defending herself.Dr My-Le Trinh is from Cambodia.She lost her mother to the Killing Fields under Pol Pot's regime, and after arriving in Australia as a refugee, she worked her way up from a sweatshop—where she helped manufacture suits and the like—to becoming a GP.For over thirty years she worked as a GP, even at one point having her own clinic with several doctors, and in all that time she never received a single complaint. We have hospitals in this country without enough doctors, and we have great doctors like her—doctors Australians need—fighting for her right to practise and be the good doctor she is. So how do we, as a society, benefit from this?

Interview with the French Woman,

I’m the former spokesperson of Génération identitaire in France, I started activism at 18 in a youth movement fighting against mass migration and for the defense of our identity.

Our actions were in fact inspired by the Australian immigration policy of the “no way”.But the movement was banned on 2021.

Since then, I’ve been sued multiple times for stating facts and standing position against immigration.

In 2022 I was victim of an attempted rape by a tunisian migrant at my home.

On french TV on 2023, when commenting the rape of another french woman, and still moved by my own experience, I said that

“The principal danger for women in France were black and Arab immigrant men”.

For these words, the prosecutor (a woman) has sought a 4 months unsuspended prison sentence against me.

Meanwhile, my tunisian attacker is still free because of a lack of pursuit from the french police.

Here is the extract of the french TV concerned by the justice :

I also sent you a picture of me on the roof that made me famous for and another picture of me to introduce myself.

One of our actions at generation identity France where you can see the “no way” banner inspired by australian policy

I told the attempted rape story on french tv 4 years ago

Michael Kwaaitaal is on an extraordinary journey. As the CFO of a successful IT company, he was used to flying around the world in first class. He had a wife, a family, and all the other trappings that so many crave.

Then he walked away from it all, because he found it empty.

Now he has explored using AI as a psychic reader and is working with other freedom and activist groups with the goal of improving the world.

We have interviewed him before, but we are interested to see where he currently is on his Odyssey.

Clint and Vicky met in school when they were kids, then Clint got Vicky pregnant. But instead of paying for her to have an abortion, instead of leaving her to the destiny of a young, poor, single mother, Clint left school in year eleven and began working three jobs, on a child’s wage, to support her.

That was over thirty years ago. Not only are they still in love, but they now they have four children.

This is a sliver of the love story.

And this is their son Xavier

I adored recording both of these interviews

In our trip down south we met some amazing people and recorded some brilliant interviews.

Again with The Webinar? Yeah because if we can manage the trolls there is lots of benefits.

This week we have Belfast on fire, and Pauline Hanson roasting Albo who sadly, can’t stop lying.

That said, I always thought a politician lying was a given.

In this country could people really handle the truth?

Anyway, there will eb other questions, and it will all be live and interactive. . .

Monday 8pm AEST

Bettina Arndt AM (born 1 August 1949) is an Australian writer, social commentator, and author known for her work on sex, relationships, and gender issues.

Born in Penrith, Cumbria, England, she moved to Australia as a child. She earned a Bachelor of Science from the Australian National University and a Master of Clinical Psychology from the University of New South Wales. In the 1970s, Arndt became one of Australia’s first sex therapists and gained prominence as editor of the sex education magazine Forum, appearing frequently on radio and television to discuss intimate topics.

She later transitioned to broader social commentary, writing columns for major publications such as The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, and The Australian Women’s Weekly, and authoring bestselling books including Private Lives, All About Us, The Sex Diaries, and #MenToo. Initially identifying as a feminist, Arndt shifted focus in the 1990s toward men’s rights and family issues, advocating for gender equity through greater attention to challenges facing boys and men in education, family law, and public discourse.

She has served on government advisory committees on family law, ageing, and assisted reproduction. In 2020, she was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) for her service as a social commentator and advocate for men. Arndt continues to write and speak on these topics via her Substack and other platforms.
