Don't give up on hope. A faux list of causes of death in 2016 has a Snopes entry. Snopes quibbles on the figures, but largely validates them. It fails to mention that Donald Trump will kill us all, which is unusual for Snopes. In California, a doctor may be slowed, so a patient dies, waiting to be certain of their personal pronoun. But that doctor will still respect the patient. 84 year old Democrat Dianne Feinstein is running again for another term in office. Were she to sleep through all legislative debates, she would not contribute less than she does now. Bill Clinton is upset with his Doormat for titling her latest book "What happened." Apparently Bill is concerned it sounds like the punchline for a joke. But Hillary wanted it to scream punchline. It has her voice, not his.
Julie Bishop helped promote a myth that women dislike and would not vote for Tony Abbott. But it should be concerning that feminists promoted a doormat to lead the Presidential race for US Democrats and also forgave a Miramax chief for serially abusing women. The French sidestepped one charmer. Abbott gave a magnificent London address and abusers prove him right by failing to address issues.
Yesterday I wrote how the Sunni/Shia schism began with an unfair fight. Today I look at the anniversary of the death in battle of Zwingli in 1531. Zwingli was a humanist who opposed church abuses, but condoned some as well. Zwingli fought for reason, and gave sermons from the Bible, rather than from church orthodoxy. He hadn't approved of anabaptist vehemence and did not speak out as one leader was executed by drowning for not baptising children, but adults. Zwingli saw himself as a soldier of Christ, and he died fighting in an unfair battle when he could not mobilise troops in time to defend his city of Zurich. Zwingli's right thinking humanism meant that Lutheranism divided Protestantism from Zwingli's theology, forever dividing Protestantism.

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...

(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 ...
(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 ...
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...
