Editorial Media hatred of Trump shields Biden
A headline names President Trump in a murder. A husband had killed his wife and allegedly used her vote, afterwards, to vote for Trump as an alibi. It is not yet certain the killer broke electoral laws established during the COVID crisis. He might not have forged her signature and it might still have been counted. Why do we know the vote was cast for Trump? Would a vote for Biden have changed the status of the investigation? Maybe Liz Cheney can enlighten us, with her vow to do anything to prevent Trump from being elected an historic third time. Usually it is a power hungry Democrat who goes for more than two elections. Except Trump has been fraudulently denied the 2020 election as an investigation into voting is showing. When Democrat Governor of California faced recall, he insisted on signatures being checked and 20% of signatures were fouled off. But during the 2020 Presidential election, some states did not check voter signatures.
It is now being revealed by former Biden staffers that Biden is a Malcolm Turnbull type talent. He hesitates and pontificates but holds onto the power of saying 'no' well past the time a 'yes' might be practicable. Before Biden implements policy that he thought of, he is implementing policy that others preached, and that failed others. This failed policy is getting people killed in the Middle East, and denying workers jobs at home. Kudos to the forty two million Biden voters who voted twice.
How is the press covering the Biden fiasco? By reporting that AOC had an ugly confrontation with a congress woman she publicly attacked? Marjorie Taylor Greene is correct in saying AOC has endorsed the murderous terrorists of 'Palestine' over the government and peoples of Israel?
Or maybe the press are ignoring Biden's failure and focusing on the antics of Elon Musk?
Editorial Cricket Australia's Ball tampering fail
The treatment of Australia's cricket elite over a professional foul of ball tampering was absurd. A player cheated badly and as a result management was cleaned out and the Captain and Vice Captain were hung out to dry. Instead of a match fee being removed from guilty parties, innocent parties resigned, and senior players were ousted for years from the sport and lost $millions. For trying to wear out one side of a cricket ball during play when the ball was playing dead. In other similar incidents players don't face any sanctions.
Recently, the incumbent Australian captain who has led a weakened side weakly has admitted that the former captain should get his job back. And then the press inflate a 'confession' from the cricketer who committed the foul. What will the press do when they find out about Biden's involvement with the downing of MH 17 in Ukraine? We may never know.
Actor Craig McLachlan was brutally attacked by press over allegations he was innocent. But the press are persevering with trying to destroy his career forever.
Editorial Press harassing Israel as Israel defends herself from WMD
Israelis are facing tens of thousand of rocket attacks as terroristt celebrate Biden's 2020 election fraud.
On May15th, Journalists against Israel 'report' on grim death toll and UN opinion favouring terrorists. We are told that there was a horror moment when Israeli police raided a home with human shields being active for terrorists. Israel collapsed tunnels which had housed high explosives.
On May 16th we read that two press agencies, AP and Al Jazeera were using their home base in the conflict to shelter those launching missiles. "They’re not going to get weapons. They’re going to get their cameras and their work gear,” he said." "Moments later, hundreds of journalists watched their office be reduced to rubble after the Israeli army launched an air strike against it, demolishing the 13-floor building in the Gaza Strip." Apparently the life work of journalists is now to shield terrorists from retribution?
The next day, press again report among fatalities of human shields used by terrorists to protect military targets. Only we don't know that that is what happened at all. In the past, journalists have staged things to look like atrocities.
As Fatah's leader clings to power decades after a fraudulent election win, Press denounce Benjamin Netanyahu of clinging to power.
Editorial how Biden started Jew Killing in Middle East
Two competing foreign policy agenda are regionalism vs bilateralism. Trump favoured bilateral relations policy. Obama favoured regionalism and recreated a cold war to achieve those aims. Under cold war theory, trouble nations like North Korea and Iran are forced to find a big protector like China or Russia to protect them. Under Bilateral theory, nations are free to achieve their agenda and engage with nations for mutual benefit. In the Middle East, a Cold War theory question of the USA to their satellite countries is "What is your biggest security threat?" and, filtered through the noise of competing factors is the answer 'Israel.' Israel is not a threat to anyone, but the compromise takes into account the desire of terrorists to achieve their aim of destroying Israel. However, when bilateral practitioners ask their question 'What do you want?' Then, most Middle East nations do not consider Israel at all.
Under bilateral practice, Trump achieved a balanced peace in the Middle East. Under regionalism, Biden has revived terrorism, with tens of thousands of rockets aimed at Israel as thousands are fired daily. The press are happy for the war, as they hand wring and write of the possibility of peace they despised Trump. Where to next? Cold War involves bureaucratic process. Terrible things happen like the shooting down of a Malaysian airways flight over Ukraine, where the guilty parties, including Biden, have never been brought to book.
Already, Biden meddling in the Israeli election process has clouded the state of Israel's administration. Under Cold War rules, can Israel defend herself?

Here is a video I made Just The Way You Are
Many thanks to my friend from Icompositions, Dirigent (Andreas) who heard my file and made some bgm for it. His is a gift. http://www.icompositions.com/artists/dirigent

"Just the Way You Are" is a love song from Billy Joel's 1977 pop rock album, The Stranger. It was written as a birthday gift to Joel's first wife Elizabeth Weber. After they divorced, Joel said that when performing the song, he would imagine what he would eat for dinner or what he would do after the show, or even accidentally sing alternate lyrics written by Liberty DeVitto ("She took the dog, the house, the car"). This was his first US Top 10 (reaching #3) and UK Top 20 single, and it was also Joel's first Gold single in the US. "Just the Way You Are" won the 1978 Grammy Awards for Record of the Year and Song of the Year.

Don't give up on hope. There are five by-elections happening around Australia, four of which relate to the ALP lying to their constituents about their members having a constitutional standing for being in parliament. They were dual citizens and the ALP had known it, but had tried to illegally profit from it as others faced by-elections in late 2017. It is alleged that one current ALP candidate in WA lied about their education history. ALP are nothing other than a corrupt concern which needs to be wound up.
Did Harry Bridges write, or co-write the Charlie Chaplin monolog of the Great Dictator? a 3AW listening nephew claimed so, as family lore. Made in 1940, the Great Dictator was written, produced, scored, starred, and, directed, by Charlie Chaplin. The famous monolog scene is one of the great speeches of history. Even so, Chaplin, in his autobiography in 1964, regretted the movie, having not known the depth of the holocaust. Because the issue of the holocaust was not the issue of the Great Dictator. At heart, the Great Dictator is about the socialist, Marxist ideal of a revolution against oppression. And Chaplin and Bridges were both enamoured with communism in 1940. It is difficult to believe Chaplin outsourced his writing for the production. The consistency within the work does not suggest it. Rather, and what is more likely, is that the two knew each other, and had discussed issues. History shows both were wrong about communism. But Chaplin was right about Democracy and Freedom.

Some things should not happen, but they do. Fake news miss-characterised Trump's campaign for President, and when he gave a terrific, landmark speech to many leaders in the Middle East, they had to claim he had backflipped. Only, Trump's brilliant speech was entirely consistent with his campaign. It is up to the Middle East to deal with Islamic terrorism which is killing many Islamic peoples. They should not wait for America to sort it out for them. I am waiting for Trump to move the US embassy to Jerusalem and hang the so called Palestinian leadership out to dry in an effort to bring about peace. Because decent people are war weary, but will fight because they must.
Today is the seventy fifth anniversary of another great speech, Menzies "Forgotten People" or the middle class, was the launch for the new Liberal Party during the darkest days of WW2. Menzies had been a successful lawyer before he was a successful politician and leader. Menzies rhetoric is apt today. The forgotten people are the backbone of the nation, but treated shockingly badly by both the ALP and Turnbull. I am a Liberal supporter. I want a decent conservative administration to make things better for all, rather than pander to special interests.
On this day in 334 BC, the Macedonian army of Alexander the Great defeated Darius III of Persia in the Battle of the Granicus. It was the first of three major battles for 22 year old Alexander against Persia. Persia had had Greek aid, but despite being outnumbered failed to heed the scorched earth advice. 853, a Byzantine fleet sacked and destroyed undefended Damietta in Egypt. It was a great victory for the Byzantines, but they didn't record it as such as they despised Michael III. However, the Caliphate recorded it. Michael had been a party animal, easily manipulated, and despised as a drunk. 1176, the Hashshashin (Assassins) attempted to murder Saladin near Aleppo. Before Saladin had united Islam, they were divided. 1377, Pope Gregory XI issued five papal bulls to denounce the doctrines of English theologian John Wycliffe. Wycliffe was at odds with the excesses of the church, predating Protestantism. However he did not oppose the church. Even so, he died several years later and a few decades after was exhumed and burned as a heretic. In 1807, a grand jury indicted former Vice President of the United States Aaron Burr on a charge of treason. He could have been executed and the world would not have suffered for it. Also 1807, most of the English town of Chudleigh was destroyed by fire. The fire had begun during a severe drought near a bakery which had not stored dry goods well. In 1856, Congressman Preston Brooks of South Carolina beat Senator Charles Sumner with a cane in the hall of the United States Senate for a speech Sumner had made attacking Southerners who sympathised with the pro-slavery violence in Kansas ("Bleeding Kansas"). 1945, Operation Paperclip: United States Army Major Robert B. Staver recommended that the U.S. evacuate German scientists and engineers to help in the development of rocket technology. 1947, Cold War: In an effort to fight the spread of Communism, the U.S. President Harry S. Truman signed an act into law that would later be called the Truman Doctrine. The act granted $400 million in military and economic aid to Turkey and Greece, each battling an internal Communist movement. 1964, the U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson announced the goals of his Great Society social reforms to bring an "end to poverty and racial injustice" in America. He achieved neither. 1967, the L'Innovation department store in the centre of Brussels, Belgium, burned down. It was the most devastating fire in Belgian history, resulting in 323 dead and missing and 150 injured. 1997, Kelly Flinn, the US Air Force's first female bomber pilot certified for combat, accepted a general discharge in order to avoid a court-martial. Kelly had had an affair with the husband of a subordinate. She had been commanded to end the affair and when she was found to have lied about ending it, in writing, as going to be court martial for failing to follow orders. Press loved to characterise it as being court martial for having an affair. 1998, Lewinsky scandal: A federal judge ruled that United States Secret Service agents could be compelled to testify before a grand jury concerning the scandal, involving President Bill Clinton. Press fail to acknowledge they got a predator elected President. Twice.

Cardinal George Pell is under attack by people accusing him of nothing. He is supposed to have been cold hearted and dismissive over allegations of pedophilia against people now dead. The dead weren't accused in their lifetime, but Cardinal Pell is now denounced as an apparent proxy. It is wrong, and reminiscent of the attacks on Hollingsworth. Despite being dogged by the allegations of nothing, Pell has had a remarkable, effective and unfinished life in the Church. May it long continue.
Obama's war is failing against the death cult he calls a Caliphate. Iraqi troops are not holding positions against inferior forces. Air sorties are not often launched as rules of engagement are too restrictive. Obama pulled out too soon from Iraq and gave control to Iran. His foreign policy is a power vacuum being filled by anarchists.
ABC pander to leftists, but are unprofessional as a journalist news service. They don't bother pretending either. Their partisan nature extends before colour tv in Australia. Even Menzies, who had launched it as a national radio brand regretted that it failed to be other than partisan.
Shorten failed to address balance when the ALP had an ascendancy. The party has arrogantly adopted the view that politics is cyclical and all they need do to acquire power is wait. Queensland and Victoria may enhance that illusion, having fallen to ALP governments recently, neither of which reformed from corrupt activity in office. Unions struggle to reach ten percent of the workforce but represent most of the ALP.
The silence of churches in the face of terrorism is appalling. They have failed to speak out on issues they are meant to, but speak loudly on issues they have no business in. In being politically partisan, the churches fail all their constituents. But in failing to address need and suffering they could address in the name of God, they are utter failures.

Bringing Back the Ark
1 David conferred with each of his officers, the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds. 2 He then said to the whole assembly of Israel, "If it seems good to you and if it is the will of the LORD our God, let us send word far and wide to the rest of our people throughout the territories of Israel, and also to the priests and Levites who are with them in their towns and pasturelands, to come and join us. 3 Let us bring the ark of our God back to us, for we did not inquire of it during the reign of Saul." 4 The whole assembly agreed to do this, because it seemed right to all the people....

Jesus Goes to the Festival of Tabernacles
1 After this, Jesus went around in Galilee. He did not want to go about in Judea because the Jewish leaders there were looking for a way to kill him. 2 But when the Jewish Festival of Tabernacles was near, 3 Jesus' brothers said to him, "Leave Galilee and go to Judea, so that your disciples there may see the works you do. 4 No one who wants to become a public figure acts in secret. Since you are doing these things, show yourself to the world." 5 For even his own brothers did not believe in him....

Morning
If:--then, this is not a matter to be taken for granted concerning every one of the human race. "If:"--then there is a possibility and a probability that some may not have tasted that the Lord is gracious. "If:"--then this is not a general but a special mercy; and it is needful to enquire whether we know the grace of God by inward experience. There is no spiritual favour which may not be a matter for heart-searching.
But while this should be a matter of earnest and prayerful inquiry, no one ought to be content whilst there is any such thing as an "if" about his having tasted that the Lord is gracious. A jealous and holy distrust of self may give rise to the question even in the believer's heart, but the continuance of such a doubt would be an evil indeed. We must not rest without a desperate struggle to clasp the Saviour in the arms of faith, and say, "I know whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him." Do not rest, O believer, till thou hast a full assurance of thine interest in Jesus. Let nothing satisfy thee till, by the infallible witness of the Holy Spirit bearing witness with thy spirit, thou art certified that thou art a child of God. Oh, trifle not here; let no "perhaps" and "peradventure" and "if" and "maybe" satisfy thy soul. Build on eternal verities, and verily build upon them. Get the sure mercies of David, and surely get them. Let thine anchor be cast into that which is within the veil, and see to it that thy soul be linked to the anchor by a cable that will not break. Advance beyond these dreary "ifs;" abide no more in the wilderness of doubts and fears; cross the Jordan of distrust, and enter the Canaan of peace, where the Canaanite still lingers, but where the land ceaseth not to flow with milk and honey.
Evening
Famine pinched all the nations, and it seemed inevitable that Jacob and his family should suffer great want; but the God of providence, who never forgets the objects of electing love, had stored a granary for his people by giving the Egyptians warning of the scarcity, and leading them to treasure up the grain of the years of plenty. Little did Jacob expect deliverance from Egypt, but there was the corn in store for him. Believer, though all things are apparently against thee, rest assured that God has made a reservation on thy behalf; in the roll of thy griefs there is a saving clause. Somehow he will deliver thee, and somewhere he will provide for thee. The quarter from which thy rescue shall arise may be a very unexpected one, but help will assuredly come in thine extremity, and thou shalt magnify the name of the Lord. If men do not feed thee, ravens shall; and if earth yield not wheat, heaven shall drop with manna. Therefore be of good courage, and rest quietly in the Lord. God can make the sun rise in the west if he pleases, and make the source of distress the channel of delight. The corn in Egypt was all in the hands of the beloved Joseph; he opened or closed the granaries at will. And so the riches of providence are all in the absolute power of our Lord Jesus, who will dispense them liberally to his people. Joseph was abundantly ready to succour his own family; and Jesus is unceasing in his faithful care for his brethren. Our business is to go after the help which is provided for us: we must not sit still in despondency, but bestir ourselves. Prayer will bear us soon into the presence of our royal Brother: once before his throne we have only to ask and have: his stores are not exhausted; there is corn still: his heart is not hard, he will give the corn to us. Lord, forgive our unbelief, and this evening constrain us to draw largely from thy fulness and receive grace for grace.

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)
