When the next pandemic occurs (and make no mistake, it will) and the federal government is unable to respond in a coordinated and effective fashion to protect the lives of US citizens and others, this decision by John Bolton and Donald Trump will be why.

A key takeaway. Trump polled at least 3 million more votes in 2020 than 2016. His vote share has increased. Time to bury the idea his 2016 victory was a historical accident. A large swathe of the USA has read the fine print & clicked on the terms and conditions of his presidency.

Six months ago today. More than 189,000 Americans have now died from Covid 19.
So last year 37,000 Americans died from the common Flu. It averages between 27,000 and 70,000 per year. Nothing is shut down, life & the economy go on. At this moment there are 546 confirmed cases of CoronaVirus, with 22 deaths. Think about that!

I’ve long thought Australians have some of the most finely tuned BS detectors on the planet, so I’ve been a little surprised that so much misinformation has taken hold. And if ever there was a slogan encapsulating the dumbing down of democracy, it’s “If you don’t know, vote no.”
It’s a small ask for a giant step forward in reconciliation, and a generous invitation from First Nations people for us to listen, learn and come together. These kind of historic opportunities rarely present themselves again.
