Terrorism obscured by religion
ABC have found an Anglican Minister who is anti semitic and always welcome at 'pro Palestinian' marches. He likes boxing and feels he can use that to get in close touch with troubled youths. He is also divorced. The Compass program gushed about his effectiveness. It recorded him denouncing church authorities for not supporting a murderous terrorist cult. One does not know what it means to be effective for David Smith. Is it the number of kids recruited to fight for ISIL?
Lone Wolf killers? How many Lone Wolves are in pack? At least five attacks have been noted world wide after ISIL called for revolution by terrorism. The latest being an axe attack on NY cops, the first being an attack on a Victorian Policeman and a Federal Australian cop. Such attacks are notoriously hard to predict or defend against. And some, like Green Senator Scott Ludlum or civil Libertarian Chris Berg oppose security arrangements making it safer for the public. Unlikely a lone wolf would ever bite one of them, right?
Europe rewards evil with ransoms. US and UK prisoners held captive by ISIL are treated very badly, while French, Spanish and Italians get better treatment after their governments had allegedly paid ransom. US and UK prisoners have also been filmed having their heads removed.
Sending a rescue mission to a jihadi? A fifteen year old denounces Tony Abbott and threatens terror assaults on the West. His father is galvanised into inaction, wishing to send a team to bring the boy back home, but afraid that such a team might appear to be aiding and abetting a terrorist fugitive. That couldn't happen because insane ALP parliamentarians refuse to pass laws allowing public safety, and so the laws against aiding and abetting terrorists have not been passed.
Ebola panic
Bono sprays Abbott re Ebola. Bono demands Abbott order health workers into a zone they might not be able to evacuate from. This is important, reasons Bono, to prove solidarity with the world. Not examined is the reason why Australia cannot secure evacuation privileges.
Ebola panic in NYC is evident as the Mayor denies it. It would be more believable if underlings kept po faces.
Mixed politics and stuff
Clinton's economic credentials were on display as the doormat shows twice in a minute why she is an economic dunce. Firstly, she charges a fortune so as to advise working poor to lift wages without productivity tradeoffs, and so guaranteeing more unemployment. Her second statement that businesses and corporations don't create jobs explains why she feels Obama's first term was successful.
In Newcastle in NSW two seats had been abandoned by the conservatives after sitting conservative members had been embarrassed. The resultant bye election had the ALP not expanding their vote appreciably, but obtaining the two seats until a general election in five months time. Conservatives will campaign next time. PUP did poorly.
Climate Change?
A direct Action climate change policy before Christmas? ALP and ABC are claiming they are confused. The Liberal party's direct action policy is said to be passed before Christmas, which might give Clive Palmer a life line to $2.55 billion in subsidies.
Walrus environmental scare exposed as it came out that the endangered species was very numerous despite climate change, and indigenous to the north.
MLB Update
Giants crushing win over Royals ties series two all. The match see sawed, with Giants getting a single in the first, Royals scoring four in the third, forcing a pitching change. But then, starting in the fifth and building, Giants ran amok, taking the match 11-4.
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...

The Ballad of David Ball
[Verse 1]
In New York City, '67, a child was born so bold,
David Ball, with dreams afire, where Sesame Street was told.
His father shaped young minds at Columbia's hall so grand,
Till the '70s called them homeward to Sydney's distant land.
[Chorus]
Oh, sing of David Ball, with a heart both strong and true,
From classroom tales to whistle’s call, his spirit breaking through.
With pen in hand and faith so deep, he writes through joy and pain,
A voice for justice, loud and clear, in every sweet refrain.
[Verse 2]
Self-taught he read by Sydney's shore, with numbers as his guide,
A math teacher in the tough schools, where hope and youth ...

David Daniel Ball (born January 10, 1967, in New York City) is an Australian writer, conservative blogger, political activist, and former high school mathematics teacher. As the younger brother of cognitive scientist John Samuel Ball, David has carved a distinct path in education, advocacy, and self-publishing, often focusing on social justice, child protection, history, and Christian devotionals. His life story intertwines family intellectual heritage with personal campaigns against institutional failures in child welfare.
David was born in Manhattan during his father Samuel Ball's (1933–2009) tenure as an educational psychologist at Teachers College, Columbia University. Samuel, an Australian academic, contributed to early evaluations of Sesame Street through his work at the Educational Testing Service (ETS), assessing the show's impact on children's learning from 1963 onward. The family, including elder brother John (born 1963 in Iowa), relocated to ...
I invite you with: "Right now, let's respond by seeking Him first. If you're carrying worries, lay them down at His feet. Raise your hands, pray silently, or come forward for prayer as we declare His kingdom priority in our lives." This encourages active faith application, tying back to Matthew 6:33's promise.

Verse 1
In the whisper of the wind, You call my name
Beyond the worries of this world, Your kingdom reigns
Like lilies in the field, clothed in Your grace
I lift my eyes to You, in this sacred place
Chorus
Seek first Your kingdom, oh Lord
And Your righteousness, forevermore
All these things will be added, in Your perfect time
Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word from Your throne
We seek You first, we seek You first
Verse 2
From ancient words You spoke, in the mountaintop light
You taught us not to fear, in the dead of night
Your promise echoes through the ages, ...
