Editorial for Easter Sunday
Miracles happen, unexpected, during times of great evil. And some miracles are underpinned by ordinary things. Jesus' resurrection was no ordinary thing. His killing was unwarranted, but carried out by the complicit world. Yet that very terrible, evil act, was the basis of God's victory over the Devil.
In a more modern context, great evil has been perpetrated on the US peoples with the 2020 election fraud. A complicit technocracy has facilitated worse to come. NYY's manager, Boon, has praised MLB for moving their all star game from Georgia as Georgia moved to protect voting rights for their constituents, so voter fraud like 2020 does not happen again. Thank you Mr Boon, we know where you stand on freedom and racism. Former President, Trump, has called for there to be a ban on MLB from MAGA supporters. I will watch and follow, but contribute nothing to MLB. Just as I despised the NYY team I follow last year when their star player, Judge, proudly announced he would take the knee in support of racism. NYY finished the year on their knees.
In Hollywood attacks on conservatives predate the invention of motion pictures. STAN, the streaming business in Australia, has two series worth comparing, Blue Bloods and City on a Hill. Blue Bloods harks back to the Giuliani years where a police force was effective and committed. The Reagan family and their nightly dinners show decent people fighting the good fight. City on a Hill is a name with religious overtones, suggestive of the light USA shines around the world to maintain freedom. It is narrated around the so called Boston Miracle where authorities limited young kids from killing each other with guns. 0.03% of people usually account for over half of all crime. The New York experience suggests only GOP will reduce crime. City on a Hill begins with race baiting and lying about what police are like, and how responsible adults behave. In their world, it is a free thinker that despises God, and has a hard bitten attitude to sex, drugs and crime. STAN, in Australia has shadow banned the clean cut Blue Bloods and promoted City on a Hill.
But, now for the ordinary miracle. Some will get upset and Ban MLB, or STAN. The majority of States will implement improvements to voting regulation. Disenchantment with Dem politics and antics will see GOP crush them in '22 and reverse the damage done. Hidden by the fraud, is the observation that those who supported Trump in '20, but not '16, some twelve million voters, were traditional Democrat supporters who liked Trump policy. Democrat support base is imploding, held up only by fraud where, were every voter who supported them to hold up two hands, they would not reach 82 million.
===Tucker Carlson destroyed this Republican Governor last night for caving to the liberal pressure mob. The video is priceless.
In this episode, I discuss the clip. I also address the growing problem of cowardly corporations selling out conservatives.
News Picks:
- Tucker absolutely wrecks another RINO.
- Whenever Democrats lose a policy debate they accuse their opponents of racism.
- DHS deleted the press release announcing the arrest of a suspected terrorist at the border.
- Trump was right again! DHS may start rebuilding the wall.
- Fauci struggles to explain why COVID cases are dropping in Texas.
- The Texas Governor has a great idea regarding election integrity.
- Billionaire Jeff Bezos wants his taxes to go up.

Here is a video I made English is TOUGH STUFF
Said to be what the NATO troops use to pronounce English words right.
http://pauillac.inria.fr/~xleroy/stuff/english-pronunciation.html
Dearest creature in creation,
Study English pronunciation.
I will teach you in my verse
Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse.
I will keep you, Suzy, busy,
Make your head with heat grow dizzy.
Tear in eye, your dress will tear.
So shall I! Oh hear my prayer.
So shall I! Oh hear my prayer.
Just compare heart, beard, and heard,
Dies and diet, lord and word,
Sword and sward, retain and Britain.
(Mind the latter, how it's written.)
Now I surely will not plague you
With such words as plaque and ague.
But be careful how you speak:
Say break and steak, but bleak and streak;
Cloven, oven, how and low,
Script, receipt, show, poem, and toe.
Hear me say, devoid of trickery,
Daughter, laughter, and Terpsichore,
Typhoid, measles, topsails, aisles,
Exiles, similes, and reviles;
Scholar, vicar, and cigar,
Solar, mica, war and far;
One, anemone, Balmoral,
Kitchen, lichen, laundry, laurel;
Gertrude, German, wind and mind,
Scene, Melpomene, mankind.
Billet does not rhyme with ballet,
Bouquet, wallet, mallet, chalet.
Blood and flood are not like food,
Nor is mould like should and would.
Viscous, viscount, load and broad,
Toward, to forward, to reward.
And your pronunciation's OK
When you correctly say croquet,
Rounded, wounded, grieve and sieve,
Friend and fiend, alive and live.
Ivy, privy, famous; clamour
And enamour rhyme with hammer.
River, rival, tomb, bomb, comb,
Doll and roll and some and home.
Stranger does not rhyme with anger,
Neither does devour with clangour.
Souls but foul, haunt but aunt,
Font, front, wont, want, grand, and grant,
Shoes, goes, does. Now first say finger,
And then singer, ginger, linger,
Real, zeal, mauve, gauze, gouge and gauge,
Marriage, foliage, mirage, and age.
Query does not rhyme with very,
Nor does fury sound like bury.
Dost, lost, post and doth, cloth, loth.
Job, nob, bosom, transom, oath.
Though the differences seem little,
We say actual but victual.
Refer does not rhyme with deafer.
Foeffer does, and zephyr, heifer.
Mint, pint, senate and sedate;
Dull, bull, and George ate late.
Scenic, Arabic, Pacific,
Science, conscience, scientific.
Liberty, library, heave and heaven,
Rachel, ache, moustache, eleven.
We say hallowed, but allowed,
People, leopard, towed, but vowed.
Mark the differences, moreover,
Between mover, cover, clover;
Leeches, breeches, wise, precise,
Chalice, but police and lice;
Camel, constable, unstable,
Principle, disciple, label.
Petal, panel, and canal,
Wait, surprise, plait, promise, pal.
Worm and storm, chaise, chaos, chair,
Senator, spectator, mayor.
Tour, but our and succour, four.
Gas, alas, and Arkansas.
Sea, idea, Korea, area,
Psalm, Maria, but malaria.
Youth, south, southern, cleanse and clean.
Doctrine, turpentine, marine.
Compare alien with Italian,
Dandelion and battalion.
Sally with ally, yea, ye,
Eye, I, ay, aye, whey, and key.
Say aver, but ever, fever,
Neither, leisure, skein, deceiver.
Heron, granary, canary.
Crevice and device and aerie.
Face, but preface, not efface.
Phlegm, phlegmatic, ass, glass, bass.
Large, but target, gin, give, verging,
Ought, out, joust and scour, scourging.
Ear, but earn and wear and tear
Do not rhyme with here but ere.
Seven is right, but so is even,
Hyphen, roughen, nephew Stephen,
Monkey, donkey, Turk and jerk,
Ask, grasp, wasp, and cork and work.
Pronunciation -- think of Psyche!
Is a paling stout and spikey?
Won't it make you lose your wits,
Writing groats and saying grits?
It's a dark abyss or tunnel:
Strewn with stones, stowed, solace, gunwale,
Islington and Isle of Wight,
Housewife, verdict and indict.
Finally, which rhymes with enough --
Though, through, plough, or dough, or cough?
Hiccough has the sound of cup.
My advice is to give up!!!

Don't give up on hope. An awful experiment conducted in the West on families is showing results. Children of broken families suffer. They are academically stunted, worse off economically and miss out on many social cues needed to advance in society. There is a theory that divorced parents are better than parents locked in a loveless relationship. But the results are not showing that. Just as abortion does not mean happiness. Which is not to say that divorce should be illegal or is never an option. But it comes down to love and what it means to love. Love of self is important. But raising a child right should not be an either/or situation. Children are resilient, but the obstacle course of broken families is too harsh. I am a supporter of the Australian Liberal Party. I will vote for them above and below the line. But it is not loyal of me to say that I accept Malcolm Turnbull as federal leader. Turnbull is a proven failure as leader. Turnbull's sole achievement in public office is to harm the Liberals, from ruinous leaks in '07 through to AGW alarmist advocacy as PM. Australia needs coal and gas energy moving forward. Only coal provides cheap, effective base load power.
In Europe, a mentally ill man drove into a crowd and suicided. Authorities have not yet determined a motivation. Trump is rising in popularity in his second year in office, which is unique to US Presidents. Media have not yet worked out why. Is it the hair?

Some things should not happen, but they do. Ayaan Hirsi Ali has cancelled her Australian tour despite the 18c protections of free speech. She is not allowed by agreement to say why. But death threats and the security issue fostered by 18c's 'protection' of free speech has played a role. Meanwhile Xenophon has sacked his top SA candidate after they correctly noted 50% renewables is an insane ambition for SA. NXT is captured by Green activists who do not get responsible government. Meanwhile Dan Andrews Victorian government is keen to police fairytales so as to prevent domestic violence. There is a stronger link between domestic violence and drugs and hard core porn.

A Sydney man has been jailed for nine years for stabbing to death his pregnant girlfriend who carried his child. Allira was 23 years old when she was killed in 2013. The nine and a half year minimum sentence was for manslaughter. It was said at trial that the couple had a volatile relationship and had, in the days leading up to the killing, exchanged terse emails. She was at a friends house, early one morning, when he forced his way in and refused to leave. He said he would 'get' her. She was over six months pregnant. It is claimed she grabbed a kitchen knife, he took it from her and stabbed her with it. His sentence would have been 16 years, but he pled guilty. Both had recently taken Ice.
Legal experts may explain why the aggravated assault didn't warrant a murder charge.
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.

Mr Abbott is a good man, and is defended by a transgender officer whom he befriended and supports. Naturally the Left hate Mr Abbott. ALP is too close to unions in NT and Victoria to the great cost of their constituents. Media prepares for meeting of state and federal treasures inflating division.
On this day in 217, Emperor Caracalla was assassinated by his personal guard, and succeeded by the prefect of that guard. As a child, Caracalla's name was changed to link him to the great emperor Marcus Aurelius. His father, Severus, made him co emperor, but after Severus died, his brother, Geta was co emperor. Caracalla had his brother killed. Caracalla is not known as a good man, but one who cheated and killed to get money. His lasting legacy is public baths which are a tourist attraction in Rome today. In 632, King Charibert II of Aquitaine was assassinated, probably on order of his half brother Dagobert. Charibert's infant son was also killed. Family is hard. In 1730, the first synagog was established in New York, called Shearith Israel. In 1820, Venus de Milo was discovered in Milos. In 1886, Gladstone introduced a home rule bill for Ireland. Gladstone was a Liberal and his proposal was not trusted by many, being strong on empty symbolism and secretive. In 1924, Ataturk reformed Turkey. He promised religious authorities he would not change female dress customs. He didn't regulate it. But he did regulate prostitution, making sure that prostitutes needed to wear traditional coverings. Soon no respectable woman dressed that way. In 1929, Singh and Dutt tossed bombs and hand outs to court arrest in India. Singh was popular for his socialist ideals, including killing a policeman for which he would be executed, inspirationally. In 1942, Japan took Bataan in Philippines. In 1943, in order to exercise control of the US, FDR froze work and wages and prices. When the restrictions were finally lifted prices sky rocketed. In 1945, a train going to a concentration camp was hit by an Allied bomber. So Nazis killed all the 4000 detainees. In 1959, COBOL became a new programming language. In 1968, twenty two year old air stewardess Barbara Jane heroically gave her life freeing passengers from a burning plane. She became the only woman to earn the George Cross in peacetime. In 1992, Arthur Ashe announced he had Aids after a heart operation. He was an all time tennis great.

From 2014
It sounds like a joke, The War of Jenkin's Ear. But with 20,000 dead, wounded, missing or captured British and 407 ships lost over nine years, starting in 1739, similar casualties for the Spanish Empire, it was serious. Named over a hundred years later by essayist Thomas Carlyle in 1858, the war was over Britain asserting her right to extract profit from the Spanish slave trade in South America. Merchant Captain Robert Jenkins returning from West Indies on April 1731 was stopped by a Spanish ship. The Spanish captain told Jenkins to stop trading, and cut off his ear with a sword, saying the same would happen to the English King if they were found trading in the West Indies too. Jenkins took his complaint to the government. His severed ear was tabled in parliament.
As wars go, it served a benefit in improving relations between Britain and Spain, so that Spain did not engage early in the seven year war, which is often described as the first world war. On this day in 1740, Three British ships captured the Spanish third-rate HMS Princess. But amidst such seriousness, we have the joke. Three third rate Brit ships and one Princess. It was a tough battle. But, afterwards, the British had a ship which they used as a prison hulk. before scrapping her in 1784. It all seems so pointless. Much like the ALP's carbon tax policy. Officially, the ALP are opposed to the tax. They promised not to implement it in '10, and claimed they were forced to after. They claimed to have dumped it in '13, but they continue to oppose its removal. The carbon tax is the ALP Princess. Hard fought for, but ultimately only worth scrapping.

Today's Old Testament reading: 1 Samuel 7-9
1 So the men of Kiriath Jearim came and took up the ark of the LORD. They brought it to Abinadab's house on the hill and consecrated Eleazar his son to guard the ark of the LORD. 2The ark remained at Kiriath Jearim a long time--twenty years in all.

Peter Declares That Jesus Is the Messiah
18 Once when Jesus was praying in private and his disciples were with him, he asked them, "Who do the crowds say I am?"
19 They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, that one of the prophets of long ago has come back to life."
20 "But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?"
Peter answered, "God's Messiah...."

Morning
An instructive writer has made a mournful list of the honours which the blinded people of Israel awarded to their long expected King.
1. They gave him a procession of honour, in which Roman legionaries, Jewish priests, men and women, took a part, he himself bearing his cross. This is the triumph which the world awards to him who comes to overthrow man's direst foes. Derisive shouts are his only acclamations, and cruel taunts his only paeans of praise.
2. They presented him with the wine of honour. Instead of a golden cup of generous wine they offered him the criminal's stupefying death-draught, which he refused because he would preserve an uninjured taste wherewith to taste of death; and afterwards when he cried, "I thirst," they gave him vinegar mixed with gall, thrust to his mouth upon a sponge. Oh! wretched, detestable inhospitality to the King's Son.
3. He was provided with a guard of honour, who showed their esteem of him by gambling over his garments, which they had seized as their booty. Such was the body-guard of the adored of heaven; a quaternion of brutal gamblers.
4. A throne of honour was found for him upon the bloody tree; no easier place of rest would rebel men yield to their liege Lord. The cross was, in fact, the full expression of the world's feeling towards him; "There," they seemed to say, "thou Son of God, this is the manner in which God himself should be treated, could we reach him."
5. The title of honour was nominally "King of the Jews," but that the blinded nation distinctly repudiated, and really called him "King of thieves," by preferring Barabbas, and by placing Jesus in the place of highest shame between two thieves. His glory was thus in all things turned into shame by the sons of men, but it shall yet gladden the eyes of saints and angels, world without end.
Evening
"Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation; and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness."
Psalm 51:14
Psalm 51:14
In this solemn confession, it is pleasing to observe that David plainly names his sin. He does not call it manslaughter, nor speak of it as an imprudence by which an unfortunate accident occurred to a worthy man, but he calls it by its true name, bloodguiltiness. He did not actually kill the husband of Bathsheba; but still it was planned in David's heart that Uriah should be slain, and he was before the Lord his murderer. Learn in confession to be honest with God. Do not give fair names to foul sins; call them what you will, they will smell no sweeter. What God sees them to be, that do you labour to feel them to be; and with all openness of heart acknowledge their real character. Observe, that David was evidently oppressed with the heinousness of his sin. It is easy to use words, but it is difficult to feel their meaning. The fifty-first Psalm is the photograph of a contrite spirit. Let us seek after the like brokenness of heart; for however excellent our words may be, if our heart is not conscious of the hell-deservingness of sin, we cannot expect to find forgiveness.
Our text has in it an earnest prayer--it is addressed to the God of salvation. It is his prerogative to forgive; it is his very name and office to save those who seek his face. Better still, the text calls him the God of my salvation. Yes, blessed be his name, while I am yet going to him through Jesus' blood, I can rejoice in the God of my salvation.
The psalmist ends with a commendable vow: if God will deliver him he will sing--nay, more, he will "sing aloud." Who can sing in any other style of such a mercy as this! But note the subject of the song--"Thy righteousness." We must sing of the finished work of a precious Saviour; and he who knows most of forgiving love will sing the loudest.

BQuote
“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” - Galatians 2:20===
Excellent food from Turkey may be attributed, in part, to some Gauls from Thrace who settled there around 300 BC. Romans called that area Galatia. Paul wrote to the Galatian churches some time from the late 40's to early 60s.
Here, we have Paul describing his faith, in common with all who follow Christ.

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)
