A specific issue
ALP seem to govern employing procedural unfairness as a weapon against innocent people who get in their way. The accusation of widespread drug use and criminal betting in every Australian sport by elite athletes has been disproved. It was apparently an attempted smear by Jason Clare to protect disgraced former PM Gillard. It worked, for a time. The compromise deal struck with AFL Essendon seems to protect ASADA's reputation for their outrageous intrusion into the club. But Essendon's coach James Hird has been very shabbily treated. The ALP have public servants in place in all levels of government. They are willing to spin the truth or lie outright to protect the ALP. And Hird is on the wrong side of that thick Labor line. It seems if he resists and appeals, he is on a hiding to nothing. But if he accepts it, there is no reward.
International terrorism issues
We should not give Iran a bomb to fight ISIL. It is really important the US assert her authority and demand a free run against ISIL without Iranian interference. Iran will do so anyway, as they are still a terrorist state. But to bribe them to get their acquiescence when they won't anyway is arrant foolishness. An Islamo fascist terrorist has killed 41 Islamic children, blowing up the children and then himself. What have the Israel haters to offer now? Diversity has failed in the US Secret Service. In 2012, AP worried about a lack of it, with not enough women to protect the President, then a woman was appointed. Two weeks ago a woman was overpowered by a guy who ran into the Presidential living quarters. Today the woman appointed 19 months ago as director has resigned.
Australian issues
Palmer abuses parliamentary process by making a bogus inquiry into Campbell Newman. It may well backfire and embarrass him. There is no need to ban the burqa, but women need to be identifiable to security in some instances. It is also important to remember cross dressing Islamo Fascists used women's clothing to hide weapons when attacking a shopping mall in Africa last year. It is not procedural unfairness to segregate Burqa wearing women in Parliament's gallery. It is not unfair. It is not racist. In all probability, it is not needed. But media demanded to know a process, and now have one. Except Mr Abbott may block the procedure. Frightbat Badham becomes Islam compliant in her opposition to misogyny. Demand freedom of speech. It is the last safeguard for a liberal democracy.
Dr Margot Kingston helpfully tweets "Only the people can stop the horror." She has seen a movie from the fifties, she should present references to it. Otherwise she is plagiarising.
Stuff that doesn't fit
US overtakes Saudi Arabia in oil production. France more than halves car production since 1994, from three million a year to 1.46 million a year. France is now overtaken by the UK for car production. Shorten does not have a Prime Ministerial voice in his email to his followers. He abuses and denounces and divides. He is a leader of the ALP, but he is not a leader. US's CBS admits there has been no warming for 18 years. Liberal party's cup of talent runneth over. They are stymied by a hostile senate, but still get some impressive things done.
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
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
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle...

Beloved, as we lift our voices in praise, remember: The Lord crowns the humble with victory—not just in ancient psalms or distant stories, but in our lives today. In this season of renewed hope and leadership triumphs, let's act on His favor. Commit now: Humble your heart before God, pray for our nation's peace and the afflicted worldwide, and share this song with someone who's facing giants. Rise in faith—declare His delight over you, and step into the victory He's prepared. Amen. #CrownedWithVictory #Psalm149

(Verse 1 – Soft, building instrumentation, evoking God's intimate delight, Hillsong-style acoustic guitar and piano)
In the quiet of the dawn, You see us, Lord,
Your people, broken yet beloved, in Your sight adored.
From ancient psalms we sing, Your favor never fades,
You take delight in the humble, in the paths we've made.
Like Israel restored, from exile's chains set free,
You lift the lowly hearts, and crown them royally.
*(Chorus – Uplifting, repetitive, with rising vocals and drums, ...
Remember Patrick Henry's words: "Give me liberty or give me death." Don't let illusions of impossibility silence you—act today to ensure free speech endures for tomorrow. What's one step you'll take right now?
Free speech has been challenged before. In the US, World War I and World War II imposed wartime restrictions. The prolonged nature of the Vietnam War made such restrictions obvious, as did the war in Afghanistan. However, the failure of the press to remain free has led to remarkable academic debate. It is now claimed—and widely accepted—that free speech is illusory and not truly possible. Minor restrictions on style are said to mean that speech was never free. This view is Orwellian. What happened?
In antiquity, was there free speech in Athens when Socrates was ordered to leave? He drank poison rather than accept exile, but he had had his say. When Athens defeated Persia at sea, scuttling an invasion plan, the successful generals were ...
