The Thorn Birds
The Thorn Birds is a 1977 novel by Australian author Colleen McCullough. Set primarily on Drogheda-a fictional sheep station in the Australian Outback named after Drogheda, Ireland-the story focuses on the Cleary family and spans 1915 to 1969. The novel is the best-selling book in Australian history, and has sold over 33 million copies worldwide.
The novel was also adapted into an eponymous television miniseries; during its 27-30 March 1983 run, it became the United States' second-highest rated miniseries of all time, behind Roots. Subsequently, a 1996 miniseries entitled The Thorn Birds: The Missing Years filled in a gap of 19 years in the middle of the novel. It was criticised for inconsistencies with the original series.
The novel was also adapted into a musical in 2009, The Thorn Birds Musical. In 2022, The Thorn Birds was included on the "Big Jubilee Read" list of 70 books by Commonwealth authors, selected to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee of Elizabeth II.

    Enemy's nationalism is imperialism. Their religion is absurd and weird. Their way of life is a threat for everybody and should, and will, be destroyed. Our nationalism is patriotism. Our religion is peaceful and glorious. Our way of life is the way of life everybody should, and will, have for their own good.

I think you’ll agree it’s truly not fair for pretend girls to play against girls. It’s just common sense, but common sense seems to have taken a back seat to emotional insecurity

    James Nicholson was denied release in 2023. He made the case of the unlikelihood of recidivism and that he made a terrible mistake in not telling his investors about losses incurred during 2008. The Fed lawyers pointed out he had been previously lost two jobs due to misappropriation of funds and thus was already a recidivist. They also noted he operated at a lost since the 1990's and depended upon new money continuously flowing in to maintain appearances. he was a lousy businessman. He didn't made a grievous mistake but operate with deception and perfidy for a long time. Being a lousy businessman didn't stop him from enriching and buying a $27 million oceanfront property in Southhampton, a 4.75 million condo in Palm Beach, a 8.5 condo in Manhattan, and a private jet. None of this was earned but was stolen from people's, including loved ones, savings and retirement plans. James Nicolson appealed for compassionate release and time served. It was denied and he's scheduled to be released at the age of 76 in 2043. it was noted at the time of sentencing, the judge had shaved off 5 yers from the maximum sentence of 45 years. James Nicholson's Godfather, Robert Nicholson, a butcher who has since passed, was among the many who was scammed out of his life savings and thus was unable to retire. Robert Nicholson was an example of who James Nicholson bilked: financially unsavory and with blind trust in a unscrupulous individual.

    The Strauserites. Nazis that don't like Hitler and Socialists that hate Marx. They are still around. They are different from other Nazis in that they claim that. They don't see most other races as inherently bad. They just think that every race should live in their own ethnostates. Thus, they like everybody who advocated that, from Malcolm X to the first leader of North Korea. But it works out the same, their ideology gives them license to beat up Immigrants.

    I watched Oscar play high school football. He was an outstanding two-way player for Chowchilla High School. I believe his number was 45. He, Dale Knott, and Mel Collins, and Tommy Thompson were in the same backfield, and all of them went on to play in college. I wish someone could upload a Super-8 video of them playing.
