On this day, 27th Sept 2016

My preferences for Redgum Ward. I have placed sitting councillors last. It won't mean much. There are about thirteen thousand voters in this ward spread across Keysborough, South Dandenong and the CBD and I'm not letter dropping or handing out how to vote cards. Media are waiting until the last week to run articles on the election and may be restricting candidate letters to the editor. At the end of the day, it is about spending too much money, fetters on local business and garbage collection. The left dominated council are very bad on these fronts. But I'm playing a long game. I want a coherent platform this election so in four years time I will be known. And maybe I can get important issues addressed in the mean time. Car parks. Cheaper, more efficient waste disposal. Better public transport bussing vectors. Less red tape on business. Better youth employment. Better planning so that there are facilities for places of worship and recreation. Better infrastructure for internet. Council aren't responsible for all of that, but they have input in all of that.

Hillary was slippery and offered nothing beyond confusion and excuses. It was made all about Trump. He did not make a gaff. He made valid points Hillary danced around. Sky News in Australia gave it to Hillary too. But Trump did not fail. Did not try to be something he wasn't. Did not appear as Hillary portrays him. In my view, Hillary lost because she failed to slam him shut. The public had low expectations of Trump. He exceeded that. He did not joke as Reagan did about exploiting his opponents youth and innocence. He did not hurt Hillary. He let her shriek, and took the high ground.

Hillary's reply to Trump's claim the budget could be $5 trillion better off was telling. "I was confused by what you offered. I have considered that. It would not offer those savings." She has no hope for America. No plan. Hillary was belled placing a lie on Trump several times. The moderator rushed to prevent Trump from addressing them. But he calmly replied. Hillary's track record is that of failure and murderous incompetence. She stands on her record.

The left wing media pieces were written before the debate. They knew they needed to have to have something to promote Hillary. Hillary gave them nothing in the debate to endorse her. Making up a meme about Trump not shaking a hand when he clearly did just shows they are using the same play sheet.

Hillary has tremendous stamina. Her sustained poor judgement spans decades. Trump could never hope to rival it. Ordinary people would be sacked and jailed had they done merely one thing Hillary has done every year of her public career. Beginning with almost imploding the case against Nixon on Watergate through corruption.

Kevin Rudd has a lot of experience with this. He tried very hard to turn Australia into a toilet.

Did it happen to mention what she said? I am not disputing the assertion that Emma Watson has left wing values. I just would like to judge what she has said by what she has said. I tire of journalists reporting only their opinion.

The Vote Compass question was so bad, so engineered for a result, I refused to use it. Naturally Penny relies on this six year old device of the left.

All Turnbull offers as leader of the Liberals is further humiliation before his resignation. He seems keen to leave a lodestone memory.

Ken Henry has no credibility. He would only oppose spending if the government was conservative. It is not the principle, but the tribe. In fact, Australia spends too much and needed to cut spending when Rudd was PM too.

It is not the first time Obama has promoted a policy that runs counter to reality or the interests of the United States. Hillary wants to continue that work.

Trigger warnings are part and parcel with Safe Schooling. It would be better to raise them with wolves.

Hockey was underrated as treasurer, I believe because he was a stumbling block to Turnbull. Turnbull promised crossbenchers things would be different when he was PM. Not entirely a lie. Now that Turnbull is PM, the only similarity with Abbott's government is Abbott's policies are rebadged and made worse so as to promote Turnbull. What Australia really needs is work choices.

Birmingham has no idea about schooling, based on what he has said, quoted here. Private schools are subsidised by the taxpayer, but if they were to be closed, and students shifted to the public purse, the government could not afford the cost. We need private schools, and they need some public money. Parents using private schools are subsidising public school children too. They should. They do. Safe Schools is evil. Children do not benefit from the program but are exploited by it. They are not safe with it operating. But some adults get sexual pleasure from exploiting all children with Safe Schools. Those adults made choices as adults and are now forcing students to make choices about things they are not equipped through nature to deal with. However, if the Liberals support it, then the program will have bipartisan support because the ALP are corrupt and venal and care nothing for Australia or her children

I don't agree with what Pauline Hanson says, or Lambie, very often. I don't mind them saying it, I can debate their points. But I wish there was someone who could be an advocate for me. For economic conservative favouring Libertarian values (except on religion or drugs). Yet so many so called Christian Conservatives are all over the place. Abbott spoke sense but was undermined by Turnbull and had to do some defensive things so as to not get rolled. Turnbull just takes me for granted. Turnbull is a classic tax and spend left winger. He is big government favouring, and he has contempt for basic freedoms required for a free democratic state to prosper. And then we have Shorten campaigning for corruption. And if Shorten gets rolled it will be by another who feels they can better wield slush funds and exploit. It is telling that a whistleblower like Kathy Jackson is being persecuted by those who accepted her predecessor doing worse.

Clinton has stamina and staying power. Few people could have such sustained bad decision making. Most would have been sacked after their first error. The doormat can set up a slush fund and avoid scrutiny through an illegally established email server that was a security risk. And when she was found out, she had her people smash the phones with hammers. But she can say 'personal income tax because when she was secretary of state, voters personal income tax were vetted by the IRS if they were conservative.

Jingle Bell Rock

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air

What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh

Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell rock

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bell chime in jingle bell time

Charlie Kirk blues

"Take up the truth, y’all, let your voice be heard, Stand tall for freedom, spread Kirk’s fearless word. Face the storm with courage, don’t you ever bend, Speak the facts, keep fightin’, till the world’s on the mend."

https://suno.com/s/YNGTe539O3rdixRF
(Verse 1)
I was born in the heartland, where the prairies meet the sky,
With a fire in my soul, and a truth that won’t die.
Loved my God up above, with a faith strong and true,
My wife and my children, they’re my anchor, my crew.
(Chorus)
Oh, Charlie Kirk, singin’ the blues,
Fightin’ for freedom, with nothin’ to lose.
In the halls of the angry, where the shouts never end,
I stood with my facts, and I’d do it again.
(Verse 2)
I walked them college roads, where the crowds would scream and yell,
Debatin’ in the fire, where the strident censors dwell.
With a table and a sign, I’d call ‘em out to fight,
Used facts and steady reason, to cut through the dark of night.
(Chorus)
Oh, Charlie Kirk, singin’ the blues,
Fightin’ for freedom, with nothin’ to lose.
Against the mob’s ...

Great commission blues

(Outro - Spoken or sung softly over a fading guitar riff)
"Now listen, friend, these hard times ain't the end,
Jesus got all authority, he’s callin’ you to mend.
Go out, share his love, lift a soul from the dust,
Make disciples, spread the word, in his promise we trust."
Like, share and, leave a comment. I read all comments

(Verse 1 - Spoken intro like an old field holler, then into 12-bar blues)
Oh Lord, in these hard times, dust blowin' 'cross the plain,
I hear the Master's voice callin' through the pourin' rain.
He say, "All authority in heaven and earth is mine,"
Yeah, all that power given to me, gonna ease your troubled mind.
(Chorus - AAB pattern)
Go and make disciples, from the city to the shore,
Go and make disciples, from the city to the shore,
Baptize 'em in the name of Father, Son, and Spirit evermore.
(Verse 2)
Brother lost his job, sister cryin' in the night,
Ain't no bread on the table, future out of sight.
But Jesus say, "Teach 'em all I ...

Ode to resolve, in style of Psalm

Do you agree with France, UK and, Australia that the Iranian planned invasion of Israel by Hamas, siezing hostages and killing and raping innocent civilians, is worthy of statehood? Israel has for over seventy years offered peace, even offering land for security. But, now, Israel is resolved to provide security, and police, Gaza, ensuring Hamas has no role.
Make a song in ancient Jewish tradition of their Gaza objective. Include how they repeatedly offered peace to Hamas, but were spurned. Trump warned Hamas of what would happen if they failed to return the hostages. They refused. Include how UN and Europe have emboldened Hamas to not return the hostages. Include how Hamas has deliberately starved her own people to blame Israel.
Ode to Resolve: A Lament in the Style of Ancient Psalms
(In the tradition of biblical Hebrew poetry, such as the Psalms of David or the Song of Moses, this song employs parallelism, rhythmic repetition, and themes of divine justice, oppressed people, and unyielding foes. It is structured with verses (stanzas) and a...

Ballad of Jampijinpa: A Warlpiri Dreamtime Bambi in the Tanami Desert
improved marketing on Rumble
placeholder
Journey to the Tanami Desert with the Ballad of Jampijinpa, a Warlpiri Jukurrpa retelling of Bambi. Follow Jampijinpa, a young red kangaroo, as he learns the sacred laws of his Country from Napangardi, faces dangers like the machine’s shadow, and rises as a leader under the Seven Sisters’ stars. This Dreamtime story celebrates Warlpiri culture, resilience, and connection to the land. Comment your favorite Indigenous story below! Subscribe for more Warlpiri tales and join my Locals for exclusive Jukurrpa insights.
The story of Bambi is, for many, their first encounter with profound loss. Writing this story in Warlpiri Dreamtime, Tanami Desert context. Loss is part of life, yet life goes on. But, a good life, serving the community is also important. How do Indigenous stories like Jampijinpa’s inspire you?
 
Notes on the Adaptation: Setting and Characters: The Tanami Desert replaces the forest, with native animals (red kangaroo, dingo, mallee fowl, perentie) as characters, reflecting the local ecology. Warlpiri skin names (Jampijinpa, Napangardi, etc.) root the characters in kinship systems, central to Warlpiri identity. Jukurrpa: The Dreamtime frames the story as a sacred narrative, where loss and growth are part of the land’s law. The “shadow” (a machine) nods to modern intrusions like mining, a real threat in the Tanami, but keeps the story timeless. Themes: Bambi’s coming-of-age becomes a journey of learning country and law, emphasizing Warlpiri values of responsibility and connection. The mother’s death and the fire echo Bambi’s trials but are grounded in desert realities. Cultural Respect: I avoided inventing sacred details or mimicking restricted Warlpiri stories, focusing on universal elements (land, kinship, survival) informed by public Warlpiri narratives, like those shared in art or ethnographies.
 
The Ballad of Jampijinpa In Tanami’s heart where the spinifex sways, ‘Neath the Jukurrpa’s first starlit blaze, The ancestors carved from the red desert’s hand, Young Jampijinpa, to guard sacred land.
Chorus: Oh, Jampijinpa, with bounds swift and free, Carry the law of your country’s decree. Through sand and through sorrow, your spirit will roam, In the Tanami’s dreaming, you’ll always find home.
Napangardi taught him the desert’s old ways, Where soakages shimmer through blistering days. The bilby’s soft tracks led to yams in the ground, And the wind whispered tales when no rain could be found. With Jangala, dingo, he leaped o’er the plain, While Nungarrayi tidied the earth’s ancient pain. The oaks sang of patience, the elders stood near, Their ochre-lit eyes guiding young kangaroo’s fear. But dawn brought a shadow, a roar cold as stone, A machine’s cruel hunger tore flesh from the bone. Napangardi fell, her spirit took flight, To the ancestors’ campfire in the starwoven night.
Chorus: Oh, Jampijinpa, with bounds swift and free, Carry the law of your country’s decree. Through sand and through sorrow, your spirit will roam, In the Tanami’s dreaming, you’ll always find home.
Alone, he wandered, his heart like a stone, The sand stung his eyes, and the silence did moan. But Japangardi rose, scales gleaming bright, “You’re never lost, son, in the Jukurrpa’s light.” The bilby taught digging, the oak whispered peace, Nungarrayi scratched paths where the stories increase. Jangala’s yips brought a laugh to the blaze, And Jampijinpa grew strong through the desert’s hard days. Then Nakamarra, with dawn in her gaze, Danced by his side through the sandhills’ soft maze. But fire returned, born of shadow’s old sin, Yet Jampijinpa led kin to the soakage within.
Chorus: Oh, Jampijinpa, with bounds swift and free, Carry the law of your country’s decree. Through sand and through sorrow, your spirit will roam, In the Tanami’s dreaming, you’ll always find home.
Atop the red dune, his shadow stretched far, A keeper of law ‘neath the desert’s bright star. The elders now sing from their camp in the sky, And Jampijinpa’s tracks never fade, never die.
Final Chorus: Oh, Jampijinpa, your story’s been spun, A thread in the Jukurrpa, forever begun. The Tanami dreams, and its stars softly call, For the kangaroo’s heart that will never grow small.
