Wonderful life off cuts “No Deal”

Both Libertarians and leftists offer awful deals to conservatives. In this off cut from It’s a Wonderful Life, we see the Libertarian character of Sam Wainwright chortling of having offered the ground floor of a plastics deal which George Bailey rejected so as to save his buildings and loan. In modern terms it is how conservatives have said ‘no deal’ to laws weakening borders or drug laws, which Libertarians have at times demanded. Libertarians chortle every time an illegal immigrant does well despite the costs to society, or a druggie succeeds temporarily despite their handicaps. 

But consider how the Potter offer to Bailey has a ‘no deal’ in similar terms as the left wing offer their terms. No ID elections. Votes received anonymously by mail after voting day. Preventing scrutiny of voter fraud. However, providing exceptions to when a recall effort is made against the California Governor? The character of Potter is a thief who steals thousands of dollars and never faces justice over it, just like the Democrats of today. And, he offers insulting terms for success. Terms similar as what McConnell has accepted?

Wonderful life off cuts Democrats Tossing away what they have to embrace corruption (Dem Preselection)

Dems are exercising power using Congress and the Presidency. But they are tossing away their voter base as they try to entrench corruption like voter fraud and double down on social engineering. The Dem ownership of the black vote dates back to FDR exploiting Democrat corruption in stealing aid Hoover had meant for stricken communities in the 1920’s. However, the Democrat controlled and exploited communities of minorities are leaving Democrats and moving to Trump Republicans. Can corruption, alone maintain the Dem powerbase?

Here is a video I made Fat Old Hugh Grant plays Judas Death 

An adlib for the death of Judas. The choice made being that Judas was part of the faction who wanted Jesus to come in military power and rule. His betrayal may have been at Jesus' instigation to fulfil prophecy. If Judas died before the resurrection then this makes more sense. If Judas died about a month after then this makes sense if he isolated himself from the disciples and was unaware of the resurrection.

Judas would never have seen the military victory .. because the victory was more comprehensive

Don't give up on hope. Malcolm Turnbull is so incompetent he cannot call out a $159 billion tax grab by the ALP in contrast to needed tax cuts for business. Turnbull's problem is he might look like Tony Abbott if he does something competent. And that is against every one of Turnbull's instincts. Instead, when the economically illiterate Bill Shorten suggests grabbing over a $100 billion including removing protections from double taxation, Turnbull dithers, making out he wished he thought of it. Turnbull's supporters aren't sure either. They think Turnbull thought of it first, but Shorten announced it first. One day, someone with the gravitas of Tony Abbott will lead a mainstream political party and will get strong popular support just like Trump. 

Trump has people saying his popular support is ebbing because of Pennsylvania on a knife edge leaning towards a Democrat. Trump had backed the GOP candidate. However, the Dem candidate ran on a Trump agenda. Democrats take note, Trump policy can be very popular among your constituents. You might need to dump your entire leadership to capitalise on it. Or send them to jail where they belong.

Greens leader Richard Di Natale spent the day on airplanes while lecturing Australia on AGW. He had an idea he shared with adoring press fans. He suggested a four day working week. This inspiration struck him when he heard about a European hospice which paid its employees the same as five day workers, but only getting them to work four days. On talk back radio, some suggested productivity would not change if people worked four ten hour days. Di Natale said that there would be many benefits to mums and dads, with reduced need for child care. 

Only thing is, the Greens have backed the ALP moves to prevent that kind of flexibility in the workplace. Under Work Choices, employers were free to offer such conditions. But under Fair Work, a judge would be required to work out which day of the week would become a weekend, and every business would have to recognise it. Naturally unions would police conditions. It would be too bad if someone lived far from work, that would need to be something an allowance would need to be paid, but only for designated working hours. But if workers were really needed at the workplace, business would gladly pay such a cost. Child care places could only open during the designated time, there being no need at other times. Also, a new penalty rate would be needed for the third day. It would probably be 20% so as to reflect the cost to productivity and so not distort the economy. Meanwhile, Di Natale could show his leadership credentials by copying Lenin or Stalin. And I and people like me could disappear. Di Natale is just starting the conversation. 

Meanwhile, PM Malcolm Turnbull has bought into the energy debate and promised gas would be available for power, so there would not be rolling blackouts as there had been in South Australia when gas was required but the facilities did not have it. However, Turnbull has not addressed the issue of cost and gas is not good for base load power as coal. Australia needs more coal power stations. And plants will thank us if we build them.

Andrew Bolt is wrong to finger 99% of Muslims for being defined by Islamofascists. Because the root cause of the silence to Western ears is not the suffering of Muslims at the hands of Islamofascists, but the silence of Western media in the face of appalling excesses of the left wing. The left wing want a vicious Islamic imperative to give value to their impotent foreign policy. The terrible abuses of Daesh Death Cult have a perfectly legitimate response in the West which is capable of dealing with it. The West needs effective policing domestically and a virile armed force internationally. Russia gets it. Don't let a few artists face the atrocity alone. Medieval terrorism is easy to stamp out. Just don't expect Clinton or Sanders to want to. Andrew, it is the ALP mates you still admire, and about half the Liberal Party, who promote the atrocity by accepting it or appeasing it. 

For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.

Miranda Devine writes on the hypocrisy of the gender movement in highlighting a case which doesn't shows what the movement wants. It is no different to US race baiting in which people are highlighted who weren't racially judged but resisted arrest.

From 2014
The coup which claimed the life of Julius Ceaser on this day in 44 BC was serious. But after the murder, and after all the murder that followed, nothing much changed. Julius was remarkable, and possibly satisfied at his own assassination, happening before he lost the strength of youth. He never had to be graceful and indulgent to get by, as those who are elderly must learn. The Roman Republic was still a republic, and although the individuals wielded extraordinary powers, the business of empire remained. The infighting that a dictator was supposed to prevent was not prevented. Lots of people dead, lots of money spent, nothing much changed .. it resembles ALP government. 

Fittingly, on this day, in 1672, Charles II issued a royal indulgence. One guesses he was getting old. Before the law could become real steak and vegetables, parliament opposed it. It would have allowed into public service people who believed in transubstantiation. Today, no one is supposed to discriminate on religious grounds. Meaning that public servants back then were supposed to be bigots. In all probability, knowledge of transubstantiation might preclude someone of becoming a public servant today, as a well educated person might not be willing to walk over victims in jack boots. And so one sees the truth that regardless of law, everything remains the same. It is a libertarian view that much legislation is meaningless. But today, you can be convicted of saying so.

Today's Old Testament reading: Deuteronomy 22-24


1 If you see your fellow Israelite's ox or sheep straying, do not ignore it but be sure to take it back to its owner. 2 If they do not live near you or if you do not know who owns it, take it home with you and keep it until they come looking for it. Then give it back. 3 Do the same if you find their donkey or cloak or anything else they have lost. Do not ignore it.
4 If you see your fellow Israelite's donkey or ox fallen on the road, do not ignore it. Help the owner get it to its feet....

Today's New Testament reading: Mark 14:1-26


Jesus Anointed at Bethany


1 Now the Passover and the Festival of Unleavened Bread were only two days away, and the chief priests and the teachers of the law were scheming to arrest Jesus secretly and kill him. 2 "But not during the festival," they said, "or the people may riot."
3 While he was in Bethany, reclining at the table in the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, made of pure nard. She broke the jar and poured the perfume on his head.
4 Some of those present were saying indignantly to one another, "Why this waste of perfume? 5 It could have been sold for more than a year's wages and the money given to the poor." And they rebuked her harshly....

March 14: Morning

"Let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall." - 1 Corinthians 10:12
It is a curious fact, that there is such a thing as being proud of grace. A man says, "I have great faith, I shall not fall; poor little faith may, but I never shall." "I have fervent love," says another, "I can stand, there is no danger of my going astray." He who boasts of grace has little grace to boast of. Some who do this imagine that their graces can keep them, knowing not that the stream must flow constantly from the fountain head, or else the brook will soon be dry. If a continuous stream of oil comes not to the lamp, though it burn brightly today, it will smoke to-morrow, and noxious will be its scent. Take heed that thou gloriest not in thy graces, but let all thy glorying and confidence be in Christ and his strength, for only so canst thou be kept from falling. Be much more in prayer. Spend longer time in holy adoration. Read the Scriptures more earnestly and constantly. Watch your lives more carefully. Live nearer to God. Take the best examples for your pattern. Let your conversation be redolent of heaven. Let your hearts be perfumed with affection for men's souls. So live that men may take knowledge of you that you have been with Jesus, and have learned of him; and when that happy day shall come, when he whom you love shall say, "Come up higher," may it be your happiness to hear him say, "Thou hast fought a good fight, thou hast finished thy course, and henceforth there is laid up for thee a crown of righteousness which fadeth not away." On, Christian, with care and caution! On, with holy fear and trembling! On, with faith and confidence in Jesus alone, and let your constant petition be, "Uphold me according to thy word." He is able, and he alone, "To keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy."
Evening
"I will take heed to my ways." - Psalm 39:1
Fellow-pilgrim, say not in your heart, "I will go hither and thither, and I shall not sin;" for you are never so out of danger of sinning as to boast of security. The road is very miry, it will be hard to pick your path so as not to soil your garments. This is a world of pitch; you will need to watch often, if in handling it you are to keep your hands clean. There is a robber at every turn of the road to rob you of your jewels; there is a temptation in every mercy; there is a snare in every joy; and if you ever reach heaven, it will be a miracle of divine grace to be ascribed entirely to your Father's power. Be on your guard. When a man carries a bomb-shell in his hand, he should mind that he does not go near a candle; and you too must take care that you enter not into temptation. Even your common actions are edged tools; you must mind how you handle them. There is nothing in this world to foster a Christian's piety, but everything to destroy it. How anxious should you be to look up to God, that he may keep you! Your prayer should be, "Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe." Having prayed, you must also watch; guarding every thought, word, and action, with holy jealousy. Do not expose yourselves unnecessarily; but if called to exposure, if you are bidden to go where the darts are flying, never venture forth without your shield; for if once the devil finds you without your buckler, he will rejoice that his hour of triumph is come, and will soon make you fall down wounded by his arrows. Though slain you cannot be; wounded you may be. "Be sober; be vigilant, danger may be in an hour when all seemeth securest to thee." Therefore, take heed to thy ways, and watch unto prayer. No man ever fell into error through being too watchful. May the Holy Spirit guide us in all our ways; so shall they always please the Lord.

I am a decent man and don't care for the abuse given me. I created a video raising awareness of anti police feeling among western communities. I chose the senseless killing of Nicola Cotton, a Louisiana policewoman who joined post Katrina, to highlight the issue. I did this in order to get an income after having been illegally blacklisted from work in NSW for being a whistleblower. I have not done anything wrong. Local council appointees refused to endorse my work, so I did it for free. Youtube's Adsence refused to allow me to profit from their marketing it. Meanwhile, I am hostage to abysmal political leadership and hopeless journalists. My shopfront has opened on Facebook.

I am publishing a book called Bread of Life: January.

Bread of Life is a daily bible quote with a layman's understanding of the meaning. I give one quote for each day, and also a series of personal stories illustrating key concepts eg Who is God? What is a miracle? Why is there tragedy?


January is the first of the anticipated year-long work of thirteen books. One for each month and the whole year. It costs to publish. It (Kindle version) should retail at about $2US online, but the paperback version would cost more, according to production cost.If you have a heart for giving, I fundraise at gofund.me/27tkwuc (Gofundme finished the fund raiser, 2017)
