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.

Here is a video I made Intro to Sentimental Bloke
The Songs of a Sentimental Bloke is a verse novel by Australian novelist and poet C. J. Dennis. The book sold over 60,000 copies in nine editions within the first year, and is probably one of the highest selling verse novels ever published in Australia.
'Er name's Doreen ...Well, spare me bloomin' days! You could er knocked me down wiv 'arf a brick! Yes, me, that kids meself I know their ways, An' 'as a name for smoogin' in our click! I just lines up 'an tips the saucy wink. But strike! The way she piled on dawg! Yer'd think A bloke was givin' back-chat to the Queen.... 'Er name's Doreen. I seen 'er in the markit first uv all, Inspectin' brums at Steeny Isaacs' stall. I backs me barrer in - the same ole way -- An' sez, "Wot O! It's been a bonzer day. 'Ow is it fer a walk?" ... Oh, 'oly wars! The sorta look she gimme! Jest becors I tried to chat 'er, like you'd make a start Wiv any tart. An' I kin take me oaf I wus perlite. An' never said no word that wasn't right, An' never tried to maul 'er, or to do A thing yeh might call croook. Ter tell yeh true, I didn't seem to 'ave the nerve -- wiv 'er. I felt as if I couldn't go that fur, An' start to sling of chiack like I used... Not intrajuiced! Nex' time I sighted 'er in Little Bourke, Where she was in a job. I found 'er lurk Wus pastin' labels in a pickle joint, A game that -- any'ow, that ain't the point. Once more I tried to chat 'er in the street, But, bli'me! Did she turn me down a treat! The way she tossed 'er head an' swished 'er skirt! Oh, it wus dirt! A squarer tom, I swear, I never seen, In all me natchril, than this 'ere Doreen. It wer'n't no guyver neither; fer I knoo That any other bloke 'ad Buckley's 'oo Tried fer to pick 'er up. Yes, she was square. She jest sailed by an' lef me standin' there Like any mug. Thinks I, "I'm out er luck," And done a duck. Well, I dunno. It's that way wiv a bloke. If she'd ha' breasted up ter me an' spoke. I'd thort 'er jist a common bit er fluff, An' then fergot about 'er, like enough. It's jest like this. The tarts that's 'ard ter get Makes you all 'ot to chase 'em, an' to let The cove called Cupid get a 'ammer-lock; An' lose yer block. I know a bloke 'oo knows a bloke 'oo toils In that same pickle found-ery. ('E boils The cabbitch storks or somethink.) Anyway, I gives me pal the orfis fer to say 'E 'as a sister in the trade 'oo's been Out uv a jorb, an' wants ter meet Doreen; Then we kin get an into, if we've luck. 'E sez, "Ribuck."

Don't give up on hope. A timetable has been announced for denuclearisation of NK. And so Trump's presidency is like Obama's in reverse, with America prospering everywhere as the press despise him. Could it end after 8 years with a Nobel Peace prize? A Journalist White House Dinner was wisely skipped by Trump. Comedienne Michelle Wolf destroyed her own credibility by attacking Sarah Huckabee-Sanders with filthy, unfunny, bile. The Liberal Party in Victoria have a conference in which they unveiled their election team and policy background for the November 2018 election. Lots of sensible, workable policies that will address everything from skyrocketing crime and violence, corruption and low education standards are being announced. Social conservatives rattled their sabres at prostitution, which marks a change of tack from book burning.
Tim Blair reports on the discovery of a 500 year old mass grave in Northern Peru where over a hundred children were sacrificed for the weather. In modern times, we have learned from such mistakes and now charge the world's poorest over $100 trillion to appease weather gods. The modern way is more virtuous. An AGW supporting Perth academic, has chosen to suicide as he is 104 years old and forced to retire last year. His hissy fit is timed to demand laws change so others suicide too.

IPA Review April 2017 has an article on 'It is the Values, Stupid' by Andrew Bushnell, a research fellow at IPA. The IPA have many fine ideals, and stand for freedom and fight the culture war. They are centre left. They worry about values more than they worry about the economy. There is nothing wrong with that. I endorse it. But, it is not centre right politics. Centre right politics is Conservative, not Libertarian. It is a measured walk which allows, maximises, prosperity. Cultural assets are safe under conservatives who don't need to tear down working edifices. But Libertarians worry about values. But the position of the IPA on the centre left highlights the position of the ALP and, further to the left, the Greens. Also, consider the position of journalists who call the IPA 'far right'

Warwick Schneider Faaaaark, sure you're not a stooge? Utter rubbish and about as intelligent as that left wing dribble and puke. Don't have a clue, do you rabbit. Corporate socialism is better than administrative socialism. haha faaaaark me you're funny. haha, faaaark.
Also, anti Islam sentiment and the hatred for good government
Barbara A I question a few things. THAT infamous Australia Day hijab poster that caused such a furore was partly paid for by QMS; Qatar media services - a branch of the Qatar government. Within a week or so of that, Baird unexpectedly resigned and now has the new position as a banker yada yada. But no one has asked why the $$ from QMS was accepted, and pertinent questions. All the attention is on the billboard, not the source ie. Qatar money. Was Baird given an incentive *cough* to permit promotion of that Islamic image?? Why is a foreign government getting involved in public billboards in Australia? Is it like Saudi's funding mosques? Is there a story here or terrific coincidence? Needs a skilled journo to go on the hunt, I reckon....
Barbara deserves an answer, which Warwick does not. NSW government has been clean skins running well since they were elected in 2011. They have achieved a surplus which the previous ALP government has claimed was not possible. They have lifted NSW out of state debt. They are building needed infrastructure. On the negative side, they have not engaged the culture wars which need to be fought, and they have positioned some awful people in public service to head schools. When media heat has become intense, they have walked, leaving another stellar person in charge. They have the talent to do that, while the ALP do not have a competent leader. I do not believe that an evangelical christian like Baird who governed secularly and faithfully has sold out to Islamic extremists to foist Sharia law on Australians. However, I do believe that Malcolm Turnbull and Julie Bishop used Australian Aid money to buy Clinton Foundation expertise to replace Tony Abbott and campaign to remove Kroger in Victoria. That should be of great concern to you.

It is difficult imagining one might care for a bikie boss that got gunned down after apparently gunning down another bikie a month ago. But the danger to society of collateral damage is real. An innocent party could get hurt. And it is wrong to let kids see this violence. Kids copy things, and it is never good to allow the violence of today's Bankstown shooting to become part of everyday life. A woman serving a counter in a shop was accosted by a couple who demanded to see security. The guy said "It is too late" and they rushed out of the shop to a car park where the bikie leader was gunned down. We don't need security guards becoming involved too. But if police are to be involved in these situations, one hopes they shoot centre of body mass so as to incapacitate or kill. Some yahoos want high powered automatic rifles in the hands of these bikies. They claim that Martin Bryant's Tasmanian massacre was a plot to get high powered rifles off the streets. In fact, Martin was merely an example of what a dolt can do with a high powered weapon. The reason for gang violence at the moment seems to be that ALP in Queensland, Victoria, and South Australia want the world to know that civil rights don't extend to noncriminals.
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.

The executions of eight in Indonesia by Indonesia included two Australian drug runners who had reformed, Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukomaran. They were guilty as charged. They had reformed but that is not recognised for capital offences. They died singing Amazing Grace. Had they been captured following a terrorist hit they are likely to have been freed. But even though it is sad they were executed, they got to live useful lives following their capture. Many have blamed many regarding the outcome. Australia is rebuilding her contacts with Indonesia, following the clumsy handling by the Indonesian government. Australia's ambassador has been recalled. One person protested outside the Indonesian embassy in Canberra. One Phillipina was exonerated by evidence at the eleventh hour. One mentally ill man that was executed was 'cured' shortly before the execution "Are they going to shoot me? But I only made one mistake."

Prince William failed to have his daughter on his wedding anniversary. But Kate is doing her best, and well enough to drive.
In 1429, a mid teen girl arrived to support the French at the siege of Orleans. She had had a vision in her father's garden in a small village, a few years previously. The visions included three saints she would describe as so beautiful she cried. They told her to support the French King. France had been involved in the Hundred Year War with England. It was on what is now French land, and the English had used scorched earth tactics. Poverty was rife, farms burned, the population had not recovered from the Black Death plagues of the fourteenth century. Her father was a minor landholder. She went to an authority, a garrison commander, to give her permission to go to the royal court. He refused. A year later she returned and with the support of two of the commander's underlings, was allowed to proceed. A desperate and weak king wanted to believe her. He had her morality tested by an ecclesiastical court, who suggested that she was fine, but needed to be tested. So she went to the aid of the besieged at Orleans in the King's company, and roused the troops religious fervour. She held a banner in battle, and inspired all around her. Two years later the weak king betrayed her to her death. But Joan of Arc had achieved what the visions had asked her.
In 1770, Captain Cook came to Botany Bay, which he named. In 1945, Operation Manna began as an attempt to feed peoples in occupied Belgium by the allies. The German forces had agreed to it. Also in 1945, Dachau concentration camp was liberated by US troops. In 1946, PM of Japan, Hideki Tojo and 28 others, was indicted for war crimes. In 1946, Father Divine, leader of the International Peace Mission Movement since 1907, married Edna Rose Ritchings, who at 21 was 49 years younger. Divine called himself God. After Divine passed in '65, there was a fight for leadership of the movement. One leader was Reverend Jim Jones. In 1953, the first episode of Space Patrol was broadcast on TV. In 1967, one day after refusing to be drafted, Muhammad Ali was stripped of his title. In 1986, European and US spy satellites saw what was happening at Chernobyl. In 1992, Following the acquittal of police who apprehended Rodney King, there were riots in Los Angeles. Over the following three days, 53 people were killed and hundreds of buildings were destroyed. In 2005, Syria completed her withdrawal from Lebanon, ending 29 years of occupation. 2011, Kate married William, Duke of Cambridge.

From 2014
He died young but Évariste Galois contributed much to Mathematics in his twenty years. He was a genius, growing up in France during a time of rebellion and revolution. Born in 1811, Galois had developed ideas regarding groups in Mathematics that had never been considered before. He discovered a way of showing that a polynomial was solvable with real numbers. He developed a way of looking at connections of discrete objects organised in groups, and now called Group Theory. But he also had ideas about justice and fairness, and he embraced republicanism under a monarchy that zealously protected itself. Galois was jailed after failing to toast the king. But his passion, his life's work, was Mathematics. He begged to share his ideas with others. He tried to go to university. The entrance tests had written and spoken components. Galois twice aced the written tests, but he was a nervous speaker, and some in the panel of examiners ridiculed him before failing him. Twice. Galois was set up by royalists over a prostitute. The girl befriended him, and was denounced by the royalists. Galois in defence of her honour, challenged them to a duel. Another Math genius, Fourier, recognised Galois's work, and promised to send it for an academy prize, but before he did, the elderly Fourier died. On the eve of the duel, Galois gave his precious papers to a friend with instructions of who to show them to. Galois was shot in the stomach and died the next day. His letters were misplaced for a decade and when read, his genius was declared. Speaking to his younger brother before dying, he said Ne pleure pas, Alfred ! J'ai besoin de tout mon courage pour mourir à vingt ans ! (Don't cry, Alfred! I need all my courage to die at twenty.) And the truth then, as now, is that liars like those who promote AGW alarmism will kill their opponents without mercy.
Also in France on this day in 1944, Nancy Wake parachuted to liaise between British high command and the Maquis. Nancy was NZ born (1912), and came to Australia young. Her father left the family for her mother to raise Nancy and her siblings. She went to North Sydney Technical college. She ran away from home at age 16, with £200 that she had inherited from an aunt, she journeyed to New York, then London where she trained herself as a journalist. In the 1930s, she worked in Paris and later for Hearst newspapers as a European correspondent. She witnessed the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi movement and "saw roving Nazi gangs randomly beating Jewish men and women in the streets" of Vienna. She became a leading figure in the maquis groups of the French Resistance and was one of the Allies' most decorated servicewomen of the war. After the fall of France in 1940, she became a courier for the French Resistance and later joined the escape network of Captain Ian Garrow. By 1943, Wake was the Gestapo's most wanted person, with a 5 million-franc price on her head. After reaching Britain, Wake joined the Special Operations Executive. On the night of 29/30 April 1944, Wake was parachuted into the Auvergne, becoming a liaison between London and the local maquis group headed by Captain Henri Tardivat in the Forest of Tronçais. From April 1944 until the liberation of France, her 7,000+ maquisards fought 22,000 SS soldiers, causing 1,400 casualties, while suffering only 100 themselves.
She was a Liberal party candidate several times, almost taking HV Evatt's seat twice. She had worked for Hearst, who was also born on this day, in 1863.

By 1943, Wake was the Gestapo's most wanted person, with a 5 million-franc price on her head. After reaching Britain, Wake joined the Special Operations Executive. On the night of 29/30 April 1944, Wake was parachuted into the Auvergne, becoming a liaison between London and the local maquis group headed by Captain Henri Tardivat in the Forest of Tronçais. From April 1944 until the liberation of France, her 7,000+ maquisards fought 22,000 SS soldiers, causing 1,400 casualties, while suffering only 100 themselves.
She was a Liberal party candidate several times, almost taking HV Evatt's seat twice. She had worked for Hearst, who was also born on this day, in 1863.

Today's Old Testament reading: 1 Kings 3-5
Solomon Asks for Wisdom
1 Solomon made an alliance with Pharaoh king of Egypt and married his daughter. He brought her to the City of David until he finished building his palace and the temple of the LORD, and the wall around Jerusalem. 2 The people, however, were still sacrificing at the high places, because a temple had not yet been built for the Name of the LORD. 3 Solomon showed his love for the LORD by walking according to the instructions given him by his father David, except that he offered sacrifices and burned incense on the high places.
4 The king went to Gibeon to offer sacrifices, for that was the most important high place, and Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar. 5 At Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon during the night in a dream, and God said, "Ask for whatever you want me to give you...."
Today's New Testament reading: Luke 20:1-26
The Authority of Jesus Questioned
1 One day as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple courts and proclaiming the good news, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, together with the elders, came up to him. 2"Tell us by what authority you are doing these things," they said. "Who gave you this authority?"
3 He replied, "I will also ask you a question. Tell me: 4 John's baptism--was it from heaven, or of human origin?"
5 They discussed it among themselves and said, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will ask, 'Why didn't you believe him?' 6 But if we say, 'Of human origin,' all the people will stone us, because they are persuaded that John was a prophet."
7 So they answered, "We don't know where it was from."
8 Jesus said, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things...."

Morning
Whatever your especial need may be, you may readily find some promise in the Bible suited to it. Are you faint and feeble because your way is rough and you are weary? Here is the promise--"He giveth power to the faint." When you read such a promise, take it back to the great Promiser, and ask him to fulfil his own word. Are you seeking after Christ, and thirsting for closer communion with him? This promise shines like a star upon you--"Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled." Take that promise to the throne continually; do not plead anything else, but go to God over and over again with this--"Lord, thou hast said it, do as thou hast said." Are you distressed because of sin, and burdened with the heavy load of your iniquities? Listen to these words--"I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions, and will no more remember thy sins." You have no merit of your own to plead why he should pardon you, but plead his written engagements and he will perform them. Are you afraid lest you should not be able to hold on to the end, lest, after having thought yourself a child of God, you should prove a castaway? If that is your state, take this word of grace to the throne and plead it: "The mountains may depart, and the hills may be removed, but the covenant of my love shall not depart from thee." If you have lost the sweet sense of the Saviour's presence, and are seeking him with a sorrowful heart, remember the promises: "Return unto me, and I will return unto you;" "For a small moment have I forsaken thee, but with great mercies will I gather thee." Banquet your faith upon God's own word, and whatever your fears or wants, repair to the Bank of Faith with your Father's note of hand, saying, "Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope."
Evening
Are there no exceptions? No, not one. Even the favoured race are thus described. Are the best so bad?--then what must the worst be? Come, my heart, consider how far thou hast a share in this universal accusation, and while considering, be ready to take shame unto thyself wherein thou mayst have been guilty. The first charge is impudence, or hardness of forehead, a want of holy shame, an unhallowed boldness in evil. Before my conversion, I could sin and feel no compunction, hear of my guilt and yet remain unhumbled, and even confess my iniquity and manifest no inward humiliation on account of it. For a sinner to go to God's house and pretend to pray to him and praise him argues a brazen-facedness of the worst kind! Alas! since the day of my new birth I have doubted my Lord to his face, murmured unblushingly in his presence, worshipped before him in a slovenly manner, and sinned without bewailing myself concerning it. If my forehead were not as an adamant, harder than flint, I should have far more holy fear, and a far deeper contrition of spirit. Woe is me, I am one of the impudent house of Israel. The second charge is hardheartedness, and I must not venture to plead innocent here. Once I had nothing but a heart of stone, and although through grace I now have a new and fleshy heart, much of my former obduracy remains. I am not affected by the death of Jesus as I ought to be; neither am I moved by the ruin of my fellow men, the wickedness of the times, the chastisement of my heavenly Father, and my own failures, as I should be. O that my heart would melt at the recital of my Saviour's sufferings and death. Would to God I were rid of this nether millstone within me, this hateful body of death. Blessed be the name of the Lord, the disease is not incurable, the Saviour's precious blood is the universal solvent, and me, even me, it will effectually soften, till my heart melts as wax before the fire.

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)
