A debate was held today and people who hate Trump say he lost it. And People who like Clinton say she won it. Except there are a lot of people who feel Trump won it. Trump won the debate. He addressed the issues that matter. Clinton did not. Clinton desperately claimed she stood on her record. She says she will not change anything. She also says she will spend much more on health care and education, making university study free. But she promised she would not increase debt and she promised not to raise taxes. And nobody has taken her to task for that. That suggests a fix by media insiders. It got worse. Trump declared he would unleash US business interests by lowering tax and raising GDP. A 4% growth would be possible, and 6% is achievable. The moderator scoffed at that. Hillary raised Trump's criticism of Reagan. Trump correctly pointed out that he supported some of Reagan's policies, and disagreed with others. But no one at the debate, or analysing it, twigged to Trump's policies being Reagan like, with increased defence spending and supporting industry, while Clinton's is like Carter's policy of wealth redistribution.
A fact check held by CNN post debate took Trump to task for claiming that illegal immigrants are not vetted before coming to USA. CNN said that there were rigorous checks, some taking more than a year. What CNN misunderstood was the difference between a refugee and and someone who employs a pirate to get them smuggled into USA. Illegal immigrants are not vetted, even though CNN's fact check unit believes they are. Maybe it is worthwhile asking the CNN unit to tell us which state department vets illegal immigrants before they arrive in USA and why it is that that department is not communicating their discoveries with other departments of government.
Meanwhile, before the debate, Fox news had an article on people paid over a thousand dollars benefits from ObamaCare for procedures, but these people were dead and the procedures have never been done. We have been told that some $350k has been lost this way, but assured it isn't much. But it highlights something really disturbing for Hillary Clinton. Dead people are a sizeable minority, and she is denying them regular access to medical care. They vote for her, and she denies them, taking them for granted. It doesn't pass the sniff test. Just like the Clinton Foundation's use of Haiti as a source of profit. Exploiting the poorest for personal gain is a very bad low. ALP do it in Australia through their union arm for slush funds, but no one is accusing Clinton of that. Why would they? Only, if they were dead, they could still vote for her, and access health care too. And as the money leaves USA, it wouldn't increase the debt. So she says.
I suggest Red Gum ward vote for David Daniel Ball. And, after asking your local councillor about their views on Trump, Same Sex Marriage and Greyhounds, try and find out what it is they will do to make garbage collection cheaper and more efficient. Ask how they will make business more profitable. Ask what they will do to help address crime. Ask what they will do to improve public transport issues locally.
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...
