We are all going to die!
Coal or death? Choose coal. The choice was delivered by Australian Green's leader Milne. But the choice was made before the alternative of death was given. Coal is cheap, reliable and long lasting. It also produces plant food. It doesn't kill birds like a windmill or solar power station. It is just better for the environment. Luckily China is building a lot of those beasts.
One month before the world ends according to the Rudd Government's CSIRO chief scientist Penny Sackett. She made the rigorous scientific declaration on December 3rd 2009. She had given us five years to avoid it. The modelling is in. The science has settled. Remarkably, the 2 degrees centigrade rise she predicted with such deadly accuracy hasn't arisen. Neither has ice shrinkage, ocean warming or dam crippling droughts. The ABC has suggested we should succumb to such terror, where against terrorists they prescribe quiet stoicism and appeasement. Gaia will not have mercy, but luckily will not have wrath either.
Sunni shoots Shiite in Sydney as a father of many is shot outside a prayer hall which media do not call a mosque. A young daughter is interviewed and she seems to blame anti Muslim sentiment as the camera focuses on her undeveloped chest and not her possibly obscured face. Meanwhile, a 15 yo boy in cadet uniform in UK selling Remembrance Day poppies is approached by a hooded person and burned by a lit aerosol can. The hooded person is described as possibly black or Asian, which is code which may include Pakistani or Afghan.
ISIL kills people with wrong last name. The victims are Sunni but their village chief had resisted ISIL. The victims include women and children, lined up and shot, numbering in the hundreds. Dozens of Australians are supporting ISIL. Many of those Australians were on welfare, some claimed to be unable to work for their disability.
Following the rules
Crazy ALP and Green local councils love legislation and rules for constituents. They make decisions about placing tables next to each other in diners, or the number of chairs patrons are allowed at those tables in those diners. Marrickville is one of the more ridiculous councils, having supported a BDS against Israel and successfully forcing an Israeli company to not employ some 650 Palestinian employees. The council has also approved signs claiming it is Coal Seam Gas free, which it isn't, accepting some 5% energy from CSG. They have rules, but don't follow them either.
ALP backed by pokies in Victoria? Racing identity and former Crown Casino boss Lloyd Williams has claimed James Packer is backing the inept, corrupt, unreformed and sleazy ALP in Victoria. ALP had initiated Crown after they had spent other income sources. But Libs offer fiscal responsibility and seem to offer better prospects for all. Lloyd might not speak for James.
Shorten has failed to account for his union activity to the Royal Commission into union corruption. Shorten had been quoted as having said to turn a blind eye. If he didn't, he should say so. If he did, he should explain why. Them's the rules for leaders .. and everyone else who is functional.
Robert Manne has been declared as Australia's foremost intellectual. But he is extraordinarily fact challenged. Not solely on Global Warming where he falsified a hockey stick graph, but also in the Stolen Generation Myth and so called 'Asylum seekers.' Manne seems to enjoy people dying from bureaucratic ambivalence. But that might be left wing ideology unsupported by facts which left wingers mindlessly embrace.
Bureau of Meteorology has consistently miscalled weather, favouring warmer. On any day, they are consistently ten degrees out on overnight lows, almost always claiming it will be warmer. But their forecasts are badly wrong, murderously so when Brisbane flooded. Time for research into the fidelity of the bureau to reporting fact.
Julia Gillard questionable, but protected by left wing mainstream media. Would she have become PM if it were known generally she had created a slush found to allow stand over tactics to be employed to misappropriate funds meant for the poorest workers? It is as if she smoked cigars while stealing from children under her care.
ABC's love affair with NK leader extends to the production of a film which made tribute to NK's oppressor. The film maker described being denied choice by a stalinist government as a "detox" and "serene."
Russell Brand is merely parroting what the left wing claim and although fact checking him shows he is wrong, he will believe it and say it anyway. It is as if an opinion is not backed by reality but vehement assertion.
Uncomfortable truths
Questioning the need for a racist constitution. Australia has prospered from a constitution which has allowed basic freedoms, secular authority and the rule of law. It doesn't need to define race. It doesn't need to distinguish between races. Calls to create a constitution which isolates and favours one race over others will not address basic needs of the poorest, but will prevent the poor from prospering.
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, ...
