Andrew Bolt is tearing shreds off Dr Ben Carson over some media beat ups. One was a sermon he gave at church 17 years ago. The other is a claim he made in his youth about a scholarship offer. Both can be reasonably explained. The realities of archaeology aren't usually presented in sermons. Not because the Bible is not relevant as the word of God, but the Bible is not an archaeological textbook. Dr Carson's sermon on Joseph is not even contradicted by archaeology, save in the assertion that Joseph built the pyramids to store grain. But even that could be talked around and made acceptable to the scientific community simply by saying that some large spaces were repurposed temporarily. But the truth acknowledged in the Bible itself is that the exact happenings of that time are not known, with scriptures lost for hundreds of years after King David's time. Another attack on Carson is to do with his supposed turning down a scholarship opportunity for West Point. It may not have been a formal offer at all, in which case there is no evidence. But so what? It is not the same as Clinton's not inhaling mojo. It is totally believable that Carson would have been an asset for West Point.
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.
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...

It is good, but here is my response
I've finished the first book for Bread of Life compilation for populist podcasters VivaFrei, AUS, The Duran and Bongino.
In the first volume, with quotes from months Jan to Apr, I write about how Australia came to be up to Federation.
In the 2nd volume I write about Australia from Federation to Menzies (Ming the Merciless)
In the third edition I write about Australia post Menzies.
