Via Matt Christiansen Media, comes the story of a New Mexico police officer, Darian Jarrott, gunned down (Feb 4th 2021) after making a routine stop of a vehicle which happened to have a wanted fugitive (Omar Felix Cueva) being tailed by the federal police. Immediately following the shooting of the policeman, federal agents were on hand to give aid to the dying officer and to chase down the fugitive, killing the fugitive an hour later in a shoot out.
Video footage of the officer making the stop suggests the officer is unaware of the nature of what he is facing. He even asks the fugitive for their firearm shortly before the officer was gunned down. However, the watching federal government agents had known that the fugitive was an armed threat.
It used to be said only doctors could bury their mistakes. Was this a mistake? Are any federal agents responsible for the tragedy? What about the Biden administration? The fallen officer was a young father, and his family will miss him dearly.

Editorial Parents stumped by NAPLAN test
Media campaigning against cheap, effective tests are not new. NAPLAN is such a test, being straight forward to mark and providing important assessment data which allows government to track student achievement from years 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9. The results could also be reverse engineered to track teacher performance, but unions won't allow that. The results allow schools to target weaknesses in student learning, and for government to address needs of schools. The results have no bearing on subsequent employment achieved by students in life.
Here, a question that 'stumps' adults is a two card trick. The purist view is that commas are not employed to separate phrases in a sentence, where they might in practice. Or, where they might, in practice. The math question is less of a challenge. One day, the illiberal press will achieve the end of having this eleven year old test removed. The loss of analytical data won't achieve further dysfunction. Just as COVID did not create election fraud.
Editorial Beijing exploits poor US Cold War policy
Now that Trump is not pursuing bilateral relations, Biden's renewed Cold War regionalism policy is failing to address world needs. The Phillipines President is isolated and weak and unable to address China's invasion of the South Sea. That is how regionalism works. The long term goal of China is to dominate the Pacific so as to contain India. In the future, US may have to cede Hawaii.
Illiberal media are authoritarian and Australian PM Scott Morrison has belled that cat in declaring social media 'The work of the Devil.' Mr Morrison was at a Christian Convention on the Gold Coast and his words are being reported by press as if they were a press release. However, Mr Morrison's words do not presage a government decree regarding social media. However there is a need for government to address the abuse of power of technocrats running social media. Social media banning of conservative politicians is unacceptable. Likewise social media banning of conservative content. Election fraud is not isolated to the US.
TESLA executives have claimed that there is evidence that a crash involved human error. Local authorities claim it was a TESLA vehicle under auto control which crashed inexplicably. It seems like someone among local authorities has an axe to grind?
Clear evidence is that woke corporatism is unpopular and results in poor outcomes for shareholders. Trump is right again.
It was woke corporatism that endorsed voter fraud which underpins Biden's Cold War policy. USA is suffering as her democracy crumbles.
In this episode, I interview President Donald Trump about the Maricopa County election audit, the stunning new FISA Court revelations, the CNN tapes, his life post-presidency, and his plans for 2024.

"Jabberwocky" is a poem of nonsense verse written by Lewis Carroll, originally featured as a part of his novel Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There (1872).

Middle ability students are missing out as schools are increasingly distracted from teaching them effectively. Schools are trying to be safe, bully free zones. Only bullying is related to school dysfunction which is related to focus on teaching and learning. The less teaching and learning, the more dysfunctional a school. Schools are teaching about gender at inappropriate ages and with inappropriate materials. Let adults deal with gender issues, don't confuse school kids who should not be sexually active. Let parents talk to their children about those issues. Let churches discuss moral issues for their communities. The function of schools is academy, and technical subjects like art, music, woodwork, textiles and cooking.
Donald Trump is looking at dumping or fixing the Iran Nuclear deal. The deal was the brainchild of Obama and Kerry and seems to make certain Iran will have nuclear functionality. Iran is using missiles against Israel, and arming Hezbollah with modern weapons.
Whistleblowing is an important issue. Without whistleblowers, corruption can go unaddressed. But some whistleblowers are engaged with corruption too. Snowden was placed in an impossible position when Obama was President and people like Hillary Clinton tried to have him killed. Snowden could not have faced a court and expected justice in Obama's America, and Trump has not yet drained the swamp. Australia has her own issues too.

’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!”
He took his vorpal sword in hand;
Long time the manxome foe he sought—
So rested he by the Tumtum tree
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
“And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”
He chortled in his joy.
’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

Don't give up on hope. Gonski has released his second report into education. Like the first report, it calls for increased spending without a plan for improvement. The good news is a way of improving outcomes is known. The bad news is modern researchers in Education won't back it for self interest. Targeted remediation of the middle third of students, specifically the students open to the initiative, provides the greatest return for investment of time and effort. When such students are successfully placed on high achieving tracks, they tend to help low achieving students and challenge high achieving ones too. I said as much to 3aw's Neil Mitchell today at about 9:40 am and Mitchell finished the assertion by saying it is already supposed to be done. Quite so. Thing is, it requires no new funding, but prioritising. That is not something teachers unions want to hear, or education experts who are keen for more as their snouts meet the trough. Queensland's ALP government has made calls for more federal funding. Middle ability students are missing out as schools are increasingly distracted from teaching them effectively.

IPA Review April 2017 has an article on 'Personal reflections on Bill Leak' by John Roskam, CEO of IPA. Before the savage assault of left wing interests on Bill Leak, they loved him and he loved them. But Leak was betrayed by them. The left are supposed to fight for the little man. They are supposed to give a chance to strugglers who get none. But that has always been propaganda. And the open embrace between terrorism of Islamo Fascism and new wave left chic leaves decent left wing peoples cold. It is betrayal. HR Clinton and Bernie Sanders both betrayed those who had trusted them to work against the machine And the death of Leak after he stood for what was right, the right way, without compromising his own ideals, is a tragedy. Not something for conservatives to exploit, but to mourn and address. Those hypocrites who hated Leak at the end, had earlier praised him when he published material they agreed with. The haters are tribal and know nothing of reason. Leak did not become right wing, left wingers became more extreme.
Some things should not happen, but they do. Roskam wrote recently of a Clinton campaign theme "It's the economy, stupid." It sounded like a clanger to me, because Clinton's first two years in office were awful for him. The economy stumbled and Clinton was mired in foreign policy disasters that had federal agents storming a house to return a young boy to Cuba, Rwanda, Somalia and terrible errors of judgement on former Yugoslavia. But Clinton was saved by a new GOP congress which would put America back on track. And Clinton took credit for it in time for re-election. It turns out that Clinton did campaign on the slogan. And like many Democrats, the slogan was nothing to do with his policy.

Blame game re executions of Myuran and Andrew have begun. Waleed Aly has blamed Mr Abbott over irrelevant issues. Meanwhile, a culpable ALP fractures over Same Sex Marriage and Palestine. Both of those issues are irrelevant too, to the execution. Except while Myuran and Andrew could have used then ALP government assistance which would have been effective in preventing their execution, the ALP were navel gazing at these two issues. Same sex marriage is meaningless so long as civil unions are sanctioned. It is an intrusion on religion which no government should touch. Palestine is a UN endorsed terrorist state that is populated by Jordanians. If anyone felt compassion for them, they would send them back.
New cases in China and Malaysia regarding alleged Australian drug smugglers caught with death penalty amounts of drugs have arisen. It is unlikely the ALP or ABC will be able to condemn these people fast enough. So they have begun preparing a blame game for the government.
The salient statistics on race and police arrests for 2012 posted yesterday have been 'answered' by Marcus Anderson on Australian Political Debate Open Forum "far far more black people are alienated from American society, on a percentage basis, than white people. Touting sentiments that ignore the historical and important facts reflect your indifference to the problem of racial villification this meme represents." In other words, Marcus feels that the statistics on their own contravenes section 18c of the racial vilification act of Australia. Were that true, then the device would indeed be a meaningless instrument of censorship. It is possible, were one to face the same sentencing judge that Andrew Bolt faced, that Marcus's view would be upheld. Although many have told me that that judge is an effective independent member of the judiciary and not some partisan tool, as evidenced by that judgement on Bolt.

In 313, Licinius defeated Maximinus and united the Eastern empire of Rome at the Battle of Tzirallum. He became co Emperor of Rome with Constantine I. Both were involved with making the Edict of Milan which was to make Christian worship acceptable in Rome. Both emperors were capable and eyed the other as a rival. Licinius married the half sister of Constantine I. Fighting continued between the two. Licinius promoted a rival to Constantine I, Valerius Valens as co emperor. But when Constantine objected Licinius had Valerius killed. After Constantine won a final battle between the two in 324, Licinius' wife begged for the old man's life to be spared. Constantine I spared Licinius' life for a year, and then hanged him on a pretext of conspiring to raise troops.

In 1871, terrorists afraid of losing federal funding by the US Government attacked American Indians, killing the adults and selling the children into slavery in Mexico, from Arizona. President US Grant ordered Arizona to improve her justice issues or risk being subject to federal martial law, so Arizona proceeded to try Indians on any pretext. It was called the Camp Grant Massacre. In 1894, Coxey's Army reached Washington DC to protest unemployment following the Panic of 1893. It is only coincidence that President Grover Cleveland was a Democrat doing what Democrat administrations do, which is to blame Jews, fail to budget appropriately and mishandle industrial and labour issues. There had been a bubble caused by railroad building and a bust caused by Argentina focused investments going sour after a coup in Buenos Aires.

"Historian Hasia Diner notes that "Some Populists believed that Jews made up a class of international financiers whose policies had ruined small family farms. Jews, they asserted, owned the banks and promoted the gold standard, the chief sources of their impoverishment. Agrarian radicalism posited the city as antithetical to American values, asserting that Jews were the essence of urban corruption."In 1900, Hawaii became a territory of the US. On the same day, at 3:52 AM a great, good, heroic 37 yo family man was killed doing his job for the railroads. He was Casey Jones. He had been tasked with taking a 95 minute late train, Cannonball express, from Memphis Tennessee to Canton Mississippi. He had a reputation of being very reliable and he made up time on the foggy night. But the railroad let him down when he had made up the missing time coming to his destination, freight trains laid across the path of his engine. He saved the colleague next to him, and everyone else, by remaining in the carriage and slowing his train. He died, and the railroads blamed him on a false OHS report claiming he had been warned of the impasse. His widow wore black for the rest of her long life, dying in 1958 at the age of 92, never having considered remarrying after losing the father of her three children. In 1927, Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford became the first celebrities to leave their footprint in concrete in Hollywood. In 1938, the animated cartoon short of Porky's Hare Hunt featured Happy Rabbit, a proto-Bugs Bunny. Also in 1938, the first televised FA Cup final occurred. In 1939, NBC began regular scheduled TV broadcasts with FDR's NY World Fair opening address.

It is Consumer Protection day in Thailand, and so time to think of injustice. On this day in 311, the persecution of Christians by Romans ended. Now it was their turn. Lions would go hungry, academics like Hypatia were harshly treated for maintaining different lifestyles. It is said Disraeili remarked that two thousand years of Christian love has left Jews feeling nervous. But then many Christians would dispute what was done in their name, nowadays we have a policy separating church and state in the West. Note, Israel as a Jewish state, having embraced that within a democratic, pluralistic model is legitimate as a modern government, while many Islamic states fail the test of pluralism or separation of church and state.
On this day in 1315 Enguerrand de Marigny was hung on the public gallows at Montfaucon. He had been an effective first minister for his king, but when his king died, jealous courtiers conspired to have him hung on charges of witchcraft. In 1513 Edmund de la Pole, Yorkist pretender to the English throne, was executed on the orders of Henry VIII. Henry VII had accepted Edmund as prisoner on terms of not executing him, but left instructions in his will that his son should. Edmund's crime was to be born to the wrong family. On this day in 1863, three thousand Mexican soldiers laid siege to sixty five French Legionaries. Mexico won. Just. On this day in 1945, Hitler took his life many years too late for millions of innocent victims. 1975, Saigon fell days after the US stopped supporting her. China kept funding the North. The peace community had won and many millions would flee tyranny.

Today's Old Testament reading: 1 Kings 6-7
Solomon Builds the Temple
1 In the four hundred and eightieth year after the Israelites came out of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, the second month, he began to build the temple of the LORD.
2 The temple that King Solomon built for the LORD was sixty cubits long, twenty wide and thirty high. 3 The portico at the front of the main hall of the temple extended the width of the temple, that is twenty cubits, and projected ten cubits from the front of the temple. 4 He made narrow windows high up in the temple walls. 5 Against the walls of the main hall and inner sanctuary he built a structure around the building, in which there were side rooms. 6 The lowest floor was five cubits wide, the middle floor six cubits and the third floor seven. He made offset ledges around the outside of the temple so that nothing would be inserted into the temple walls.
Today's New Testament reading: Luke 20:27-47
The Resurrection and Marriage
27 Some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus with a question. 28 "Teacher," they said, "Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother. 29 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a woman and died childless. 30 The second 31 and then the third married her, and in the same way the seven died, leaving no children. 32 Finally, the woman died too. 33 Now then, at the resurrection whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?"

Morning
The path of the Christian is not always bright with sunshine; he has his seasons of darkness and of storm. True, it is written in God's Word, "Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace;" and it is a great truth, that religion is calculated to give a man happiness below as well as bliss above; but experience tells us that if the course of the just be "As the shining light that shineth more and more unto the perfect day," yet sometimes that light is eclipsed. At certain periods clouds cover the believer's sun, and he walks in darkness and sees no light. There are many who have rejoiced in the presence of God for a season; they have basked in the sunshine in the earlier stages of their Christian career; they have walked along the "green pastures" by the side of the "still waters," but suddenly they find the glorious sky is clouded; instead of the Land of Goshen they have to tread the sandy desert; in the place of sweet waters, they find troubled streams, bitter to their taste, and they say, "Surely, if I were a child of God, this would not happen." Oh! say not so, thou who art walking in darkness. The best of God's saints must drink the wormwood; the dearest of his children must bear the cross. No Christian has enjoyed perpetual prosperity; no believer can always keep his harp from the willows. Perhaps the Lord allotted you at first a smooth and unclouded path, because you were weak and timid. He tempered the wind to the shorn lamb, but now that you are stronger in the spiritual life, you must enter upon the riper and rougher experience of God's full-grown children. We need winds and tempests to exercise our faith, to tear off the rotten bough of self-dependence, and to root us more firmly in Christ. The day of evil reveals to us the value of our glorious hope.
Evening
How comprehensive is the love of Jesus! There is no part of his people's interests which he does not consider, and there is nothing which concerns their welfare which is not important to him. Not merely does he think of you, believer, as an immortal being, but as a mortal being too. Do not deny it or doubt it: "The very hairs of your head are all numbered." "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way." It were a sad thing for us if this mantle of love did not cover all our concerns, for what mischief might be wrought to us in that part of our business which did not come under our gracious Lord's inspection! Believer, rest assured that the heart of Jesus cares about your meaner affairs. The breadth of his tender love is such that you may resort to him in all matters; for in all your afflictions he is afflicted, and like as a father pitieth his children, so doth he pity you. The meanest interests of all his saints are all borne upon the broad bosom of the Son of God. Oh, what a heart is his, that doth not merely comprehend the persons of his people, but comprehends also the diverse and innumerable concerns of all those persons! Dost thou think, O Christian, that thou canst measure the love of Christ? Think of what his love has brought thee--justification, adoption, sanctification, eternal life! The riches of his goodness are unsearchable; thou shalt never be able to tell them out or even conceive them. Oh, the breadth of the love of Christ! Shall such a love as this have half our hearts? Shall it have a cold love in return? Shall Jesus' marvellous lovingkindness and tender care meet with but faint response and tardy acknowledgment? O my soul, tune thy harp to a glad song of thanksgiving! Go to thy rest rejoicing, for thou art no desolate wanderer, but a beloved child, watched over, cared for, supplied, and defended by thy 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)
