No Bolt Report on Sunday because of racing. Disappointing, but the great man deserves the occasional day off.

The Ebola message does not match precautions in the US. Aid workers clocking off shifts in Africa and returning to the US along with tourists was always going to be a spread vector. The US was aware of the issue before a victim left Africa, and fell sick in Texas. He has died, and now two of his nurses have been infected. One hopes that both nurses survive unharmed. But, who else has been infected? How? There have been several protocol failures. Luckily, the disease relies on intimate contact through body fluid to be contracted, it is not airborne. Otherwise more would be infected. Imagine if jihadi could weaponise it?

Jihadi dreams
It is wonderful Obama has decided to fight ISIL and not merely aid them. But it isn't enough to drop bombs on civilians to win a war. There will need to be people on the ground. There needs to be commitment to win. Terrorists claim to be Islamic but do things that are not Koranic .. like cross dressing, killing Muslims, desecrating holy sites and bringing Islam into disrepute. Also, reprehensibly, assigning to Allah works of the devil. They aren't the only terrorists .. look at Ukraine .. North Korea .. China .. Cuba .. Venezuela .. Argentina .. Zimbabwe .. But they have an international fan club and patronage from the UN and press. It turns out Bush was right on WMD and the press have suppressed the fact to support Democrats. And now ISIL have access to the warheads that were made, in some cases, by US contractors. A pranked hospital patient, male, woke up to find he was wearing panties .. one thought that only happened to jihadi. Jihadi are known to wear women's clothes shortly before engaging in terrorist hits.

ABC discovers a new left wing
ABC bias encompasses abusing the uniform of Australia's Defence force. Patriotism is racism? ABC defames pre election Victorian government over porn ring allegation. A disgruntled former adviser to Baillieu, who was dismissed when Napthine became Premier, has made his claims now, for the first time, shortly before an election. His claims seem unlikely, but that will still excite the ABC. 7:30 Report acknowledges criminal infiltration of CFMEU after Gillard weakened protections with Fair Work. The program details how bikie gangs have gotten involved. Slush funds would be excellent at laundering drug money. An ALP senator uses Pravda to abuse PM Mr Abbott, no reason why they would, but they have.

Mixed issues
Australia's National Gallery changes direction by becoming competent, hiring a good person after their stolen Indian artefact debacle. The embarrassing Richard Flanagan has won a literary prize and made a statement that he was embarrassed to be Australian because the PM said coal was an efficient power source. If Richard Flanagan doesn't love it here, he can leave. Palmer drops defamation claim. New Deputy Premier for NSW is a member with only six months cabinet experience. He is a former policeman with some twenty two years of experience. He has a good team and should do a great job. Hostage siege in brothel in NSW had three men holding two other men and two women. Channel Nine obscured the face of one of the brothel workers, but the ABC did not. Pistorius might have got more time if he had shot an intruder, the amount of time he serves is not yet known, but someone got eight years for shooting an intruder in Melbourne, recently.

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
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square

What a bright time, it's the right 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...

Intro to Locals for the Conservative Voice

David Daniel Ball calls himself the Conservative Voice.

I'm a teacher with three decades experience teaching math to high school kids.I also work with first graders and kids in between first grade and high school. I know the legends of why Hypatia's dad is remembered through his contribution to Math theory. And I know the legend of why followers of Godel had thought he had disproved God's existence.

I'm not a preacher, but I am a Christian who has written over 28 books all of which include some reference to my faith. Twelve blog books on world history and current affairs, detailing world events , births and marriages on each day of the year, organised by month. Twelve books on the background to and history of Bible Quotes. One Bible quote per day for a year. An intro to a science fiction series I'm planning, post apocalyptic cyber punk. An autobiography with short story collections.

I'm known in Australia for my failure as a whistleblower over the negligence death of a school boy. ...

Phil 3:20

A worship song spreading the good news for illegal citizens too. Illegal citizens should go home. Their places assured for when they go home to Him. The best way forward is to face your troubles. Do you agree? Write your comments on this song. I read them all.

Citizen of Heaven [Verse 1] I am illegal, but my citizenship’s in heaven, Paid twenty thousand to be smuggled, chasing freedom. Many died on the journey, no refund for the pain, Smugglers threaten me and my family, trapped in chains. [Pre-Chorus] I wanted freedom but paid for chains, I was wrong to come illegally, my heart in shame. [Chorus] But now I go home, a citizen of heaven, Jesus made me a child of God, forgiven. My Savior’s calling, His love has set me free, I’m bound for glory, my home’s eternity. [Verse 2] I paid awful people, they lied to me with greed, Promised hope but left me broken, with nothing I need. In the dark, I cried out, thought I’d lost...

Luke 11:13 worship song

Part of my series of worship songs from daily bible quotes. Has the Father healed you your relationship with your parents? You are free to comment, I read them.

Below is a worship song inspired by Luke 11:13 ("If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!" ) in the style of Bethel Music or Hillsong, incorporating the themes and phrases you provided. The song is structured with verses, a chorus, and a bridge, aiming for an emotive, heartfelt, and worshipful tone with a focus on God’s love, redemption, and the Father’s heart.

Song Title: Father, You Found Me

[Verse 1] My dad never liked me, I carried the shame, I had to prove myself, but I lost the game. I failed, he died, left wounds in my soul, I still talk to my father, but I’m never whole.

[Pre-Chorus] I never knew him, how could I see? How can I know God, when ...

Rising Lion, news made into song

How do you feel about the surgical strike? Was it wrong for Israel to protect her people from nuclear annihilation? I read all comments on my work.

• Recent tensions escalated after Iran launched a missile attack on Israel on October 1, 2024, prompting Israel's retaliatory Operation Rising Lion.
• The ballad follows the Israeli folk tradition of the Horah, a circle dance with roots in Eastern European Jewish culture, adapted since 1924 in Israel.
• Lyrics begin with "Oh, Rising Lion, from the desert's heart you roar," honoring the operation's code name and Israel's resolve.
• Next verse sings, "Mossad spies danced through shadows, with drones in silent flight," reflecting the covert agents and embedded technology.
• Chorus rises, "Hand in hand we turn, under moonlit skies of might, Rising Lion guards our land tonight," echoing the communal spirit of the Horah.
• Third verse adds, "Natanz fell to precision strikes, a ...

Ballad of Jampijinpa: A Warlpiri Dreamtime Bambi in the Tanami Desert
improved marketing on Rumble

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.
