News media is unbalanced, but so too are educational institutions. Students are not given balanced options, there are only marks for parroting left wing narratives without critical thinking. As an example, the Conservative Voice has the words of a pathologist who really believes in AGW alarmism.
Bob Lawson Your a blogger David Daniel Ball. Your facts don't even tally with the statement the other day from the federal weather people saying that an enormous chunk of the Antarctic ice sheet has recently broken off and is slowly heading north. Please mate before you put this nonsense in print at least try to refute the weather science first. While some of modelling I think is the worst possible scenario there is no doubt that the earth's climate is warming and greenhouse gases not just CO2 that are man made are the major cause.
Bob Lawson Before you challenge me on academic grounds David Daniel Ball. I have three degrees. One in biology, another in industrial chemisty and third a masters degree in medicine. So I know what I am talking about where as you obviously don't.
Bob Lawson Your understanding of physics is as flawed as your climate change sceptic blog mate. Here are the facts mate; the strengh of frozen H2O is reliant on temperature and temperature only. The warmer it gets the less ordered and therefore the less cohesive the water molecules become. The ice event I quoted has been completely stable for all of recorded history mate. Now all of a sudden it isn't. This is nothing to do weight Daniel just temperature. There you go you have eve learned some first year Uni physics.
Bob proceeded to claim injury when asked to make a verifiable fact. He claimed I had abused him when I had not. He claimed I had said I was an authority on global warming when I have not. He admitted that the world was not heating in line with the theory, but made the extraordinary claim that that was because the effect was logarithmic and so the more carbon dioxide released the less the world would respond with heat. His voluminous but irrelevant arguments can be followed in context at http://conservativeweasel.blogspot.com.au/2014/10/a-simple-blog-sparked-this-on-agw.html
Thing is Bob is highly educated. His spelling is poor, for example not knowing the difference between 'know' and 'no.' He is highly educated in making assertions, but poor in putting forward verifiable ideas .. a cornerstone of science being that theory be testable. When asked to show where he found the so called outrages, he became abusive, or ignored the question, and later conceded that there was no such instance. This is not critical thinking, but reflexive thinking and a condemnation of education which has rewarded him richly with three degrees. Tonight the news media have castigated Mr Abbott for saying he would shirt front Mr Putin over the MH17 tragedy. A reasonable person might have thought that that meant Mr Abbott would meet Mr Putin face to face and raise the issue. But the media ran with the idea from AFL (which is historically Victorian, while Mr Abbot is from NSW) that shirt fronting meant that Mr Abbott would grab Mr Putin's shirt and tackle him. Pravda responded for Mr Putin expressing outrage on Mr Putin's behalf at the rhetoric, but Pravda is the Russian equivalent of the Age and often reports on issues without understanding them. One can only wonder how far the legs of this inflation will take the outrage. No doubt the Greens will draft a warning to Mr Abbott that he must set his phaser to stun.
A tax on breeding is being called for by AGW alarmists and must meet with Lawson's approval. One interesting sidelight of Lawson's ridiculous writings is that Carbon Dioxide is not the main driver of his fantasy of Global Warming, but it should still be taxed, according to his mind. NOAA admits AGW is not resulting in increased extreme weather events. Disabled people can work. Lawson is proof.

ABC Encounter program imagines a 'nice' caliphate without interviewing concerned parties that might be affected by a nice caliphate. Like Jews, Islamic victims of terror, Yazidi, Kurd. What is a 'nice' Caliphate? Does it abhor female genital mutilation? Does it educate girls? Does it have a justice system which is not harsh on the oppressed? Does it practice secular administration? If not, why would it be called 'nice'? The West is paying Hamas to further terrorism. Hockey is correct that the ALP must have a policy on budget for paying for any war they support. The standby ALP policy of stealing from children won't work. Australia is at war with the IS, but not yet effectively facing the IS in battle.

Howard explores the Menzies era and comes back with the truth that a good Prime Minister will gather around them a good ministry which they respect, good party support and a healthy relationship with the public. Three big ticks for Mr Abbott, and three big minuses for Shorten. Polls show ALP are in front of Libs, but good analysis suggests that that is illusory. Two young men foully abused a security officer on a train in Brisbane. The word "Racist" is thrown around, but no one is discussing applying the law article 18c. The regulation is a failure, and a limit on free speech.
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...

How can we, like Jupurrurla, use our resourcefulness and generosity to share the abundance we discover, ensuring it strengthens our communities and honors our connection to our environment?
Below is an expanded and vivid retelling of Jupurrurla and the Forty Shadows, reimagining Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves as a Warlpiri Dreamtime story set in the Tanami Desert. This version enriches the sensory landscape, deepens Warlpiri cultural elements, and aligns with the structure of Ali Baba while incorporating echoes of The Story of the Three Bears (e.g., an intruder entering a forbidden space, consequences of greed, and a moral resolution). The narrative emphasizes Warlpiri values of kinship, respect for the land, and wisdom over greed, creating a story that resonates with both the original tale and the desert’s spiritual heartbeat.

English Folk Song: The Wanderer and the Three Goannas
Lyrics (Based on the Warlpiri Story):
(Verse 1)
In the Tanami’s glow, where the spinifex sways,
Jupurrurla roamed through the desert’s warm days.
Her curious heart found a camp in the shade,
Where three goannas’ coolamons a feast had arrayed.
(Chorus)
Oh, the wanderer bold, ‘neath the starlit sky’s gleam,
Met the three goannas in the Desert’s dream.
With a heart full of truth, she learned to amend,
Wove the land and its kin in a song without end.
(Verse 2)
Father’s tomatoes sharp, Mother’s ants far too sweet,
But Little Goanna’s wattle warmed her heart’s beat.
On their mats she tried rest—too rough, then too slick—
Till the small one’s weave held her dreams soft and quick.
(Chorus)
Oh, the wanderer bold, ‘neath the starlit sky’s gleam,
Met the three goannas in the Desert’s dream.

I'm a little disappointed with my video. I couldn't put in the images I curated. But I stand by it. I am contributing to the debate over America Party. I'm a MAGA supporter always preferred GOP, despise RINO. I likely will never vote AP, but I welcome their existance in US Democracy, noting Dem's have utterly failed.
If the Democrat party is a corrupt, and ultimately spent force, what replaces it? Should we wait for a head to grow back? Or, should we look back to the vision of Jefferson and Adams? What is your preference for the future? I read all comments. Please like and subscribe.
Below is a prog rock song in the style of Emerson, Lake & Palmer, characterized by grandiose lyrical imagery, complex narrative structure, and a blend of theatrical pomp with driving rhythms and intricate keyboard flourishes. The song, titled "Star-Spangled Visionaries," celebrates the America Party led by Elon Musk as an alternative to a corrupt Democratic establishment, draws parallels to the Jefferson-Adams ...
