As a policeman, Chauvin sought to protect and serve. As a congress woman, Waters seeks to exploit and divide. And in Lindfield, Sydney, NSW, Australia, we have a modern school where children post poster lies about police. Activists claim police hunt black people. The truth is black people are safer from rare events of police killing citizens than white people. However, mainstream news promotes lies told by radical left politicians.
===The radical left is now on board supporting riots, stabbings, segregation, government spying, and socialism. Also, LeBron James and “The Squad” are huge frauds. I have the evidence.
News Picks:
- Here’s why police shouldn’t use “warning shots.”
- The link to my full testimony on Capitol Hill regarding police reform.
- The real societal costs of absent fathers.
- Politico forbids the use of the word “crisis” when describing the crisis at the border.
- Biden is looking at an enormous tax hike.

In Victoria Dan Andrews is offering $50 to anyone with an energy bill. There is an election later this year, and Andrews is using state money to buy research information for the ALP to get the ALP re elected. Any Victorian who gets the $50 has paid for it already. But they paid much more than $50 to get it. And the result is a dangerous, crime ridden, corrupt state which cannot power her own energy needs.
Mike Pompeo has been confirmed as Secretary of State. Democrats opposed him, possibly because he is a Sunday School teacher and the press don't feel he can handle the portfolio. But maybe the press will claim he is an evil genius as a former chief of the CIA. The press are worried he is a closet radical because of his Tea Party involvement. The snowflakes need to wait, shake, quiver and see.

"An'--wilt--yeh--take--this--woman--fer--to--be--
Yer--weddid--wife?"...O, strike me! Will I wot?
TAKE 'er? Doreen? 'E stan's there ARSTIN' me!
As if 'e thort per'aps I'd rather not!
TAKE 'er? 'E seemed to think 'er kind was got
Like cigarette-cards, fer the arstin'. Still,
I does me stunt in this 'ere hitchin' rot,
An' speaks me piece: "Righto!" I sez, "I will."
"I will," I sez. An' tho' a joyful shout
Come from me bustin' 'eart--I know it did--
Me voice got sorter mangled comin' out,
An' makes me whisper like a frightened kid.
"I will," I squeaks. An' I'd 'a' give a quid
To 'ad it on the quite, wivout this fuss,
An' orl the starin' crowd that Mar 'ad bid
To see this solim hitchin' up of us.
"Fer--rich-er--er--fer--por-er." So 'e bleats.
"In--sick-ness--an'--in-ealth,"...An' there I stands,
An' dunno'arf the chatter I repeats,
Nor wot the 'ell to do wiv my two 'ands.
But 'e don't 'urry puttin' on our brands--
This white-'aired pilot-bloke--but gives it lip,
Dressed in 'is little shirt, wiv frills an' bands.
"In sick-ness--an'--in--" Ar! I got the pip!
An' once I missed me turn; an' Ginger Mick,
'Oo's my best-man, 'e ups an' beefs it out.
"I will!" 'e 'owls; an' fetches me a kick.
"Your turn to chin!" 'e tips wiv a shout.
An' there I'm standin' like a gawky lout.
(Aw, spare me! But I seemed to be ALL 'ands!)
An' wonders wot 'e's goin' crook about,
Wiv 'arf a mind to crack 'im where 'e stands.
O, lumme! But ole Ginger was a trick!
Got up regardless fer the solim rite.
('E 'awks the bunnies when 'e toils, does Mick)
An' twice I saw 'im feelin' fer a light
To start a fag; an' trembles lest'e might,
Thro' force o' habit like. 'E's nervis too;
That's plain, fer orl 'is air o' bluff an' skite;
An' jist as keen as me to see it thro'.
But, 'struth, the wimmin! 'Ow they love this frill!
Fer Auntie Liz, an' Mar, o' course, wus there;
An' Mar's two uncles' wives, an' Cousin Lil,
An' 'arf a dozen more to grin and stare.
I couldn't make me 'ands fit anywhere!
I felt like I wus up afore the Beak!
But my Doreen she never turns a 'air,
Nor misses once when it's 'er turn to speak.
Ar, strike! No more swell marridges fer me!
It seems a blinded year afore 'e's done.
We could 'a' fixed it in the registree
Twice over 'fore this cove 'ad 'arf begun.
I s'pose the wimmin git some sorter fun
Wiv all this guyver, an' 'is nibs's shirt.
But, seems to me, it takes the bloomin' bun,
This stylish splicin' uv a bloke an' skirt.
"To--be--yer--weddid--wife--" Aw, take a pull!
Wot in the 'ell's 'e think I come there for?
An' so 'e drawls an' drones until I'm full,
An' wants to do a duck clean out the door.
An' yet, fer orl 'is 'igh-falutin' jor,
Ole Snowy wus a reel good-meanin' bloke.
If 'twasn't fer the 'oly look 'e wore
Yeh'd think 'e piled it on jist fer a joke.
An', when at last 'e shuts 'is little book,
I 'eaves a sigh that nearly bust me vest.
But 'Eavens! Now 'ere's muvver goin' crook!
An' sobbin' awful on me manly chest!
(I wish she'd give them water-works a rest.)
"My little girl!" she 'owls. "O, treat'er well!
She's young--too young to leave 'er muvver's nest!"
"Orright, ole chook," I nearly sez. Oh, 'ell!
An' then we 'as a beano up at Mar's--
A slap-up feed, wiv wine an' two big geese.
Doreen sits next ter me, 'er eyes like stars.
O, 'ow I wished their blessed yap would cease!
The Parson-bloke 'e speaks a little piece,
That makes me blush an' 'ang me silly 'ead.
'E sez 'e 'opes our lovin' will increase--
I LIKES that pilot fer the things 'e said.
'E sez Doreen an' me is in a boat,
An' sailin' on the matrimonial sea.
'E sez as 'ow 'e 'opes we'll allus float
In peace an' joy, from storm an' danger free.
Then muvver gits to weepin' in 'er tea;
An' Auntie Liz sobs like a winded colt;
An' Cousin Lil comes 'round an' kisses me;
Until I feel I'll 'AVE to do a bolt.
Then Ginger gits end-up an' makes a speech--
('E'd 'ad a couple, but 'e wasn't shick.)
"My cobber 'ere," 'e sez, "'as copped a peach!
Of orl the barrer-load she is the pick!
I 'opes 'e won't fergit 'is pals too quick
As wus 'is frien's in olden days, becors,
I'm trustin', later on," sez Ginger Mick,
"To celebrate the chris'nin'."...'Oly wars!
At last Doreen an' me we gits away,
An' leaves 'em doin' nothin' to the scran.
(We're honey-moonin' down beside the Bay.)
I gives a 'arf a dollar to the man
Wot drives the cab; an' like two kids we ran
To ketch the train--Ah, strike! I could 'a' flown!
We gets the carridge right agen the van.
She whistles, jolts, an' starts...An' we're alone!
Doreen an' me! My precious bit o' fluff!
Me own true weddid wife!...An' we're alone!
She seems so frail, an' me so big an' rough--
I dunno wot this feelin' is that's grown
Inside me 'ere that makes me feel I own
A thing so tender like I fear to squeeze
Too 'ard fer fear she'll break...Then, wiv a groan
I starts to 'ear a coot call, "Tickets, please!"
You could 'a' outed me right on the spot!
I wus so rattled when that porter spoke.
Fer, 'struth! them tickets I 'ad fair forgot!
But 'e jist laughs, an' takes it fer a joke.
"We must ixcuse," 'e sez, "new-married folk."
An' I pays up, an' grins, an' blushes red....
It shows 'ow married life improves a bloke:
If I'd bin single I'd 'a' punched 'is head!https://rumble.com/vc5003-the-mooch-o-life.html=== From 2018 ===
Don't give up on hope. ANZAC Day is tomorrow, and is under assault from those who would rule Australia their way, which is different to what our democracy allows. The day is about service and sacrifice. We remember our dead who gave their lives in service so that we have freedoms which we sadly take for granted. But we can easily lose our freedoms. Freedom of speech is no longer a given. People may speak freely, but they can get into legal trouble doing so. And yet cowardly snivelling media claim equivalence between serving in the army and working at ABC studios in Sydney. One might be hard pressed to see what the two have in common, but saying so can get one a spray of bile from those hating Australia. And those spraying bile, but offering no substantive argument, shielding themselves from truth by misapplying anti freespeech laws, are well remunerated and privileged. In Victoria Dan Andrews is offering $50 to anyone with an energy bill. There is an election later this year, and Andrews is using state money to buy research information for the ALP to get the ALP re elected. Any Victorian who gets the $50 has paid for it already.

IPA Review April 2017 has an article on Our Humble Servants by William Coleman editor of Only in Australia. Coleman parades impressive facts about the history of public service in Australia, but his initial statement, that Australian bureaucracy is bloated because it always has been, is wrong. Australia has had too many public servants from her earliest days, that is an undisputed fact. It was the result of a similar policy in British India. Rome had roads, Britain had bureaucracy. But the reason for Australia's bloated bureaucracy today is ALP government. It is the cheapest way the ALP can appoint the corrupt. One can rely on the public service at any level to adhere to a double standard of familiarity with ALP or strict separation of powers regarding conservatives. And to illustrate the point one can point to teachers, police, emergency services, healthcare, judges and media to never be even handed. Otherwise, bad faith billboard advertising by the ALP would not be tolerated while Liberals are held to a much higher standard. Not to exhaust the issues, but to illustrate them. ALP politicians get invited to state run schools, rarely will a conservative. South Australia has a gerrymander, and that should not exist if the electoral office were appropriately staffed.
Some things should not happen, but they do. In West Heidelberg, Victoria, there is a police station which is an oasis of safety and order in Dan Andrews' corrupt and dangerous state. Anyone in need of emergency help can go there and press a button and be directed to the nearest understaffed police station. West Heidelberg Police Station is unstaffed. Don't be alarmed into thinking that Dan Andrews has found a cost savings for Victorians. He would never do that. West Heidelberg has not experienced as much crime as other places. Instead, although the crime rate rises alarmingly, the local population is jammed in by traffic after Andrews spent over a billion dollars not building a ring road bypass. Instead, Andrews has conspired to force trucks to use back roads instead of toll roads. Even retired country folk are stung by commercial rates applied to their vehicles. And rates for businesses are so high that Melbourne Baristas cannot profit by selling coffee for less than $5. Today, Matthew Guy, leader of the opposition, the man who can fix this mess if his party gets a mandate in 2018, was at West Heidelberg Police Station with tv cameras following him. Andrews was elsewhere in Melbourne, complaining he doesn't have respect from his ministers.

ANZAC day is tomorrow and it is important to thank those who have served in our armed forces. Not solely Australia but New Zealand too. In times past, people not much older than children have served and sacrificed so that we could be free. And it is a slap in the face of those who have given all when we don't live free, but choose fetters. They did not fight and die so that we could impose a sexual identity construct on four-year-olds. Imagine were it the case that an outstanding brain surgeon prospect was denied at 26 the opportunity because at 4 she had decided to become a fireman, as any girl might wish. It is a slap in the face of the ANZACS that we choose to be fettered by 18c rather than live free. It is a slap in the face of ANZACS that we choose to condemn people to poverty because we wilfully misunderstand the role of capitalism in our society. They died so activists living off the public welfare purse can prevent hard working people from prosperity?
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.

Tomorrow is ANZAC Day and many are quick to denounce the battle and war, yet claim to embrace freedom. But war is the pointy end of freedom. Without the willingness to fight, and perhaps die, there is nothing to protect the free from the despots. And the ANZAC invasion of Gallipoli (in support of the British who sent more, gave more and lost more) is a salient lesson. It is hard to say what people fought for when they lost. But the dream was far bigger. Maybe Turkey would not have completed her genocide of Armenians and Assyrians and many others. Maybe communism would not have become the fat parasite on the world for the twentieth century. It was a good plan which was almost successful, despite many snafu. Those that lost were not to blame. And those who should be blamed were not entirely at fault. Young newsman Keith Murdoch was opposed to the campaign and conveyed that opposition while still being loyal. He hadn't liked the appalling waste of life. But his machinations meant that the lives lost were wasted. One can support the soldiers without liking the slaughter. None who fought there, or ordered them there remains alive. Those who profited from the defeat are not alive today. But many suffer today from the loss. Today is the anniversary of the fall of Troy. The battle for Troy was prideful and the sacrifice wasteful. But that Greek victory was far less than the loss at Gallipoli. Pride exists before the fall as everyone is humbled. And it is worth thinking of those humble people who fought and died there. They lost that battle, but in winning the war, they gave us a legacy of freedom leaving us eternally in their debt. And by fostering the freedom their lives paid for, we honour them. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.
In this day in 1547, Battle of Mühlberg was fought between Spain's Charles I and some minor nobles who were Protestant. Charles was Holy Roman Emperor and catholic. Francis 1 of France was also catholic, but had sided with the Ottomans to fight Spain. That fight had ended a few years previously. So Charles was unencumbered to square off against the band of protestant cities called the Schmalkaldic League. The battle was one sided. the protestants bickered and were over run. Charles I made it to the battlefield, but he was suffering an attack of gout and so came on a litter, not a fine war horse as was painted later by his court painter, Titian. Charles had nearly 30000 troops at his disposal against 15000. The panicked League forces broke rank and fled, so 7000 League forces died in battle. There were a few scattered Protestant forces left over and Charles ended up giving them religious freedom, but many went to England where the young King Edward showed promise. In 1914, the Franck-Hertz experiment showed, using a vacuum tube and electricity, the nature of atoms as suggest in 1913 by Bohr. Einstein described the experiment "It's so lovely it makes you cry."
The selfish, self indulgent former treasurer Swan is wanting to run another term. He is part of the furniture Rudd wanted to save. He was an abysmal treasurer, promising surplus but delivering the largest debt Australia has ever faced, in peace or war. He was part of the policy brains trust which failed to deliver policy in ALP Government. It is sad the ALP are so low. No sensible person wants to see them so weak and pathetic, so incapable of working for their own constituents. A healthy ALP would pass legislation in Australia's interests. This ALP doesn't.

From 2014
Thutmose III became co ruler with his stepmother Hatsheput on this day 1479 BC. His rule was to see Egypt become the largest she would ever be. He fought 17 campaigns over 54 years. The co rulership with his step mother might be puzzling to modern sensibilities. He had been leader of the armies for all 22 yeas of co rulership. But he had ascended the throne when he was two years old. Some three hundred years later, 1184 BC, a collection of Greek armies are said to have captured Illium, or Troy. It is said that survivors of the event, when asked about it, were a little hoarse. Even today people with sore throats may be told to beware of Greeks bearing gifts.
On this day in 1558, Mary, Queen of Scots, married the Dauphin of France at Notre Dame de Paris. Better it was for love, because it failed to help her politically. On this day in 1885, Annie Oakley answered President Carter's call to gender equality when the sharp shooter joined Buffallo Bill's Wild West about ninety years before he was elected President for the first and last time. On this day in 1915, Turkey arrested 250 Armenian intellectuals and community leaders as a prelude to the genocide which would cripple their war effort. A year later, Irish separatists rose in rebellion on Easter. Two years after that, in 1918, German tanks faced off against British ones for the first time. British ones won the engagement. It is also hard to imagine that only in 1922 was wireless telegraphy first available between Oxfordshire and Cairo. Skype would have been useless as Egyptians don't speak English. As it was, it was a failure, Thutmose was already dead and Troy was lost. 1933, and Nazis began persecuting Jehova's Witnesses, shutting down the watchtower offices in Magdeburg. Twenty years later and QE2 knighted Winston Churchill.
The Soviet Union had made large strides in cosmonautics, but sadly on this day in '67 Cosmonaut Vladimir Komarov died when his parachute failed to open. Jimmy Carter made his stamp on this day with the tragic deaths of eight US servicemen who had attempted to save Iranian hostages. Snuppy, the first cloned puppy, an Afghan, was whelped on this day in 2005. Don't tell the Greens about the dog, they'd kill him.

Today's Old Testament reading: 2 Samuel 16-18
David and Ziba
1 When David had gone a short distance beyond the summit, there was Ziba, the steward of Mephibosheth, waiting to meet him. He had a string of donkeys saddled and loaded with two hundred loaves of bread, a hundred cakes of raisins, a hundred cakes of figs and a skin of wine.
2 The king asked Ziba, "Why have you brought these?"
Ziba answered, "The donkeys are for the king's household to ride on, the bread and fruit are for the men to eat, and the wine is to refresh those who become exhausted in the wilderness."
3 The king then asked, "Where is your master's grandson?"
Ziba said to him, "He is staying in Jerusalem, because he thinks, 'Today the Israelites will restore to me my grandfather's kingdom.'"
4 Then the king said to Ziba, "All that belonged to Mephibosheth is now yours."
"I humbly bow," Ziba said. "May I find favor in your eyes, my lord the king...."
Today's New Testament reading: Luke 17:20-37
The Coming of the Kingdom of God
20 Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, "The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, 21 nor will people say, 'Here it is,' or 'There it is,' because the kingdom of God is in your midst."
22 Then he said to his disciples, "The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it. 23People will tell you, 'There he is!' or 'Here he is!' Do not go running off after them. 24 For the Son of Man in his day will be like the lightning, which flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other. 25 But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation....

Morning
We go to Christ for forgiveness, and then too often look to the law for power to fight our sins. Paul thus rebukes us, "O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth? This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?" Take your sins to Christ's cross, for the old man can only be crucified there: we are crucified with him. The only weapon to fight sin with is the spear which pierced the side of Jesus. To give an illustration--you want to overcome an angry temper; how do you go to work? It is very possible you have never tried the right way of going to Jesus with it. How did I get salvation? I came to Jesus just as I was, and I trusted him to save me. I must kill my angry temper in the same way. It is the only way in which I can ever kill it. I must go to the cross with it, and say to Jesus, "Lord, I trust thee to deliver me from it." This is the only way to give it a death-blow. Are you covetous? Do you feel the world entangle you? You may struggle against this evil so long as you please, but if it be your besetting sin, you will never be delivered from it in any way but by the blood of Jesus. Take it to Christ. Tell him, "Lord, I have trusted thee, and thy name is Jesus, for thou dost save thy people from their sins: Lord, this is one of my sins; save me from it!" Ordinances are nothing without Christ as a means of mortification. Your prayers, and your repentances, and your tears--the whole of them put together--are worth nothing apart from him. "None but Jesus can do helpless sinners good;" or helpless saints either. You must be conquerors through him who hath loved you, if conquerors at all. Our laurels must grow among his olives in Gethsemane.
Evening
Why should our exalted Lord appear in his wounds in glory? The wounds of Jesus are his glories, his jewels, his sacred ornaments. To the eye of the believer, Jesus is passing fair because he is "white and ruddy:" white with innocence, and ruddy with his own blood. We see him as the lily of matchless purity, and as the rose crimsoned with his own gore. Christ is lovely upon Olivet and Tabor, and by the sea, but oh! there never was such a matchless Christ as he that did hang upon the cross. There we beheld all his beauties in perfection, all his attributes developed, all his love drawn out, all his character expressed. Beloved, the wounds of Jesus are far more fair in our eyes than all the splendour and pomp of kings. The thorny crown is more than an imperial diadem. It is true that he bears not now the sceptre of reed, but there was a glory in it that never flashed from sceptre of gold. Jesus wears the appearance of a slain Lamb as his court dress in which he wooed our souls, and redeemed them by his complete atonement. Nor are these only the ornaments of Christ: they are the trophies of his love and of his victory. He has divided the spoil with the strong. He has redeemed for himself a great multitude whom no man can number, and these scars are the memorials of the fight. Ah! if Christ thus loves to retain the thought of his sufferings for his people, how precious should his wounds be to us!
"Behold how every wound of his
A precious balm distils,
Which heals the scars that sin had made,
And cures all mortal ills.
"Those wounds are mouths that preach his grace;
The ensigns of his love;
The seals of our expected bliss
In paradise above."

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)
