The Daily Breakdown

It had to happen eventually ... I have COVID.

We know the left owns the commanding heights, but do you know how far the left's reach extends and how they've done it? And why we have an uphill battle even to hold our ground? To be honest, it's a depressing tale. Luckily, even they find it tough to live by their impossible and ridiculous standards. Their incompetence might be the best hope we have.

The West has been sleepwalking to its own demise for decades - but that might be about to change. And we can thank one man. For that, he deserves and attaboy!

A brutal dictator who isn't afraid to crush opposition and show his people who's boss has suffered a humiliating defeat in the face of 'people power' - should this give us hope? Or will he come back stronger than ever? And in the event of nuclear war, do you what to do? Luckily, The Daily Breakdown is here to save your life (you're welcome).

Putin has a carefully crafted image: tough, stoic, ruthless, but he doesn't mind getting his shirt off in the wilderness with the boys for some man-on-man manliness (not that there's anything wrong with that ...) But in less than a week, his image has been shattered by a one-time competitor on Dancing with the Stars. Forget Albo and ScoMo, maybe we could be saved by Grant Denyer!

The left said you should never let a crisis go to waste, but should you really dance on the graves of the dead to promote renewables and your job-destroying fantasy? If you're multi-billionaire climate catastrophists, of course, you do.

Class act, Mike - why don't you sponsor the war?

Putin has moved on Ukraine and there's nothing the West can do about it. But what is about to happen to Europe on the energy front provides some great insights into the great green future we've been promised by the people like Mike Cannon-Brookes.

German price rises:

German consumers experience biggest rise ever in gas and power prices in 2021

Europe could see out winter on gas reserves if Russian imports stop, says German analysis

Scott Morrison says closing coal power stations will drive up electricity prices. Is he right? | Graham Readfearn

Bjorn Lomberg: The green agenda is too expensive: We need a better way to fight...

You aren't meant to find a human side to Putin, but this is quite funny (even Putin puts up with idiots): https://youtu.be/m55HKChS2zk

No one knows anything about Russia or Ukraine, except that Putin isn't scared of the West and he certainly isn't scared of Joe Biden.

And one more thing: what we are seeing now is the result of 30 years of arrogant foreign policy, and if you think this is bad, wait till China starts testing us.

Don't rehabilitate Obama on Russia

If you do the right thing, you're a sucker. The system is geared for people who just grab. But why wouldn't they? It's your money they're taking, and there's plenty more where that came from, right?

Mike Cannon-Brookes wants to buy AGL. I say, let him. This could be fun. Unless you like cheap, reliable energy ...
