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 Good News Week
Hedgehoppers Anonymous were a 1960s beat group from the United Kingdom. They formed in November 1963 as The Trendsetters, and became The Hedgehoppers the following year. Jonathan King took over their record production in 1965, and added "Anonymous" to their name when they said they were popular in Peterborough, and did not want to change their name completely.
Their major success was the King produced and written "It's Good News Week", issued on Decca. This song has also been used as the theme music for Good News Week, a satirical news-based comedy quiz show on Australian television which ran from 1996 to 2000 and has subsequently been revived in 2008. Four other singles were released by the group before the final line-up dissolved. Lack of further chart activity leaves them labelled as one-hit wonders.

=== From 2018 ===
Don't give up on hope. Partisan media has failed to provide balanced commentary on anything involving politics, so that general populations are not informed about most issues. Even so, proselytes of ignorance insist education is the answer. Former safe school tsar Ros Ward, who now marches to exterminate Jews, felt primary schools could educate children to embrace queer adult desires. Richard Dawkins feels education could eliminate religion. Various communist states feel education can eliminate deviancy and so support diversity. Everyone agrees that virtues should be taught at schools, but no one agrees on what virtues are. Except reading, writing and arithmetic. And yet Reading is being given short shrift. Young children don't have access to many children's picture books. Conservative politicians want to ban some books. Critical education can liberate the mind, but people are looking for the right fetters.
Andrew Bolt and John Roskam are discussing Charles Dickens Bleak House. Of concern to me is a shortcoming of Dickens, as well as most every other writer, a failure to write religious characters realistically. Because he didn't get God. When a religious character, either by profession or faith, enters a Dickens novel, they resemble surreal characters, fitting plot demands and not connecting with readers as vital influences. In reality, many writers do not get religious motivation, and it is the failures which make the religious person distinctive, not the faith. So that the Anglican who believes in God puts their community before the individual. The Catholic will lie to cover up past sins of the collective. The Orthodox will exaggerate the Aryan fallacy and the Evangelical will wave hands, call to God and forget what they asked for.
An eighteenth century joke of industrialisation experience is that "God is in the machine" and things happen "As God ordained." But that is a stumbling block for those who have no awareness of their faith. Various expressions of doubt arise from the view. "God is asleep" "There is no difference if God never was" or "It is impossible to prove, or know, God." For those who are unaware of faith, empirical experience is a road to demonstrating the universe without God. And for those aware of faith, a secular path is sufficient to demonstrate the existence of God for the chosen, but a main stay of the community involves symbolic knowledge and community gathering and building. Note, the divide has each 'side' pining for a secular education neither side intends to maintain.
I wrote "Bread of Life" to address the issue of secular discovery of faith. I have plans for a post apocalyptic cyber punk sci fi series demonstrating a more proximate mix of interaction between faithful, agnostics and atheists. The seres is a retelling and reflection of the colonisation of Australia and is allegorical of the Bible to boot. People I've told of it love the concept.
Were I to ask a question of Andrew Bolt and John Roskam, I'd point to the religious issue of Dickens and the modern expression of the continuing 'battle.' Then I'd point to Delderfield who wrote "God is an Englishman" and included Dickens at a famous time in his life, near the end. Is Delderfield a modern Dickens? Does he fail, like Dickens, in addressing a balanced view of a faithful person? Is there another writer who presents an accurate portrayal of faithful people in an ordinary setting? Do they agree that a broad, secular education would allow children to grow up and be all they can be? If so, do they agree on the virtues?

Some things should not happen, but they do. Manchester's bombing today, killing some twenty people and wounding scores more is going to be labeled by the press with a category error. In the Middle East, Islamist terrorism has to be resisted by Islamic authorities, but Islamic authorities are partly to blame for Middle East terror. They feed it and approve it. In the UK, those authorities do not have the reach to do that. Those feeding and legitimising terror in the UK tend to be left wing authorities, like newspapers and political parties like Labor and the Greens. Not because they behave that way, but because their rhetoric feeds those that can. Soldier Lee Rigby was murdered by a couple who took lies fed to them from the press, and even journals like Lancet, and claimed they had committed an act of war in response to a mythical war being fought in the Middle East. In all likelihood, a suicide bomber using a nail bomb will be at the heart of this terrorist tragedy. But someone else will have assembled the device and others would have primed the bomber. This is not like the Man Monis Lindt siege. This is a deliberate terrorist hit on children which will be repeated until it is stopped.
Across the world, papers will say there was a reason for the attack. But it is terrorism, and there was no reason. Some Christians will claim it is a sign of end times, but they are wrong, as they have been before about other atrocities. Some Muslims will claim it as a win. It isn't. God had nothing to do with this atrocity. But God will, one day, do something the terrorists and their spoon feeders do not see or understand. God will one day make this evil act lose its' sting. He will give back long, blessed lives to those who have lost it so young. He will heal those maimed. I know this to be true, for what He has done in my life. And what I have seen Him do in others lives. But I also know that believers have a duty right now, because God will make things right, but it is in our power to do right too. Prayer is part of what we can do. We can show love by practical help for those suffering. And we can overthrow the leadership that feeds the atrocity. The church leaders who promote terrorist activity, who endorse the killing of migrants through reckless abandon of borders. And I mean those of any religion who do such, including so called Christians. Don't hate Muslims because of this terrorism. Show the terrorists this atrocity is their loss too.
On this day, In 844, Battle of Clavijo: The Apostle Saint James the Greater was said to have miraculously appeared to a force of outnumbered Asturians and aided them against the forces of the Emir of Cordoba. The actual battle is fictional, only having references to it after three hundred years. 1430, Siege of Compiègne: Joan of Arc was captured by the Burgundians while leading an army to relieve Compiègne. The French king had distanced himself from her and while she was fighting on this day, the French garrison commander lowered the gates so she could not return to safety. She fought bravely before being pulled from her horse and surrendering. 1498, Girolamo Savonarola was burned at the stake in Florence, Italy. People who are close to God should be humble. Girolamo wasn't. He proclaimed special knowledge of end times. Sadly the special knowledge did not prevent him from being BBQ'ed.
In 1533, the marriage of King Henry VIII to Catherine of Aragon was declared null and void. He wouldn't maintain the fiction later, Henry VIII had decided his first wife had married and consummated with his older brother Arthur who predeceased him. This meant he could marry Anne Boleyn. Henry VIII had broken from the catholic church and founded the Anglican church to do this because his first wife, Catherine, had been able to convince the then Pope to not allow a divorce. Catherine had been a very good wife to Henry VIII and never deserved her poor treatment, but Anne deserved better than her lot too.
1568, the Netherlands declared their independence from Spain. Also 1568, Dutch rebellion led by Louis of Nassau, defeated Jean de Ligne, Duke of Arenberg, and his loyalist troops in the Battle of Heiligerlee, opening the Eighty Years' War. A great victory for the Dutch, but the cost was the loss of a brother of William I of Orange. 1609, Official ratification of the Second Charter of Virginia took place. 1618, the Second Defenestration of Prague precipitated the Thirty Years' War. Religious freedom was at issue at both defenestrations. The first in 1419 had been when the town hall was over run and several senior lawmakers and judges were thrown to their deaths through windows. The weak king had died soon after. In 1618, Protestants had three Catholic leaders to be thrown from the third story window, falling 21 metres and surviving. Some said after they were saved by dung. Others said they were saved by angels. Evidence suggests the former more likely. 1701, after being convicted of piracy and of murdering William Moore, Captain William Kidd was hanged in London, England. Kidd appears to have been a loyal English subject and his hanging seems unjust. William Moore would probably disagree.
1844, declaration of the Báb the evening before the 23rd: A merchant of Shiraz announced that he was a Prophet and founded a religious movement that would later be brutally crushed by the Persian government. He was considered to be a forerunner of the Bahá'í Faith, and Bahá'ís celebrate the day as a holy day. 1948, Thomas C. Wasson, the US Consul-General, was assassinated in Jerusalem, Israel. He had tried to stop Arabs shelling the area shortly before an Arab sniper apparently shot him. 1992, Italy's most prominent anti-mafia judge Giovanni Falcone, his wife and three body guards were killed by the Corleonesi clan with a half-ton bomb near Capaci, Sicily. His friend and colleague Paolo Borsellino would be assassinated less than two months later, making 1992 a turning point in the history of Italian Mafia prosecutions.

In opposition, Mr Abbott, dubbed 'Captain no' by the press, supported 87% of ALP legislation, opposing only things that were bad for Australia. In return, ALP in opposition under Bill Shorten support merely 35% of legislation. ALP oppose essential cuts needed to secure the economy so as to get a poll advantage for claiming the government cannot govern. Only one independent (Bob Day 90%) gives as good support to the current government as Mr Abbott gave the ALP. Nick Xenophon is only giving 30% support, and greens are giving 2% support.

Heteronormative is a big word, but not a bad word. Most people are. It is natural. Cultural institutions tend to favour it. It is almost as if God wants it that way. But there are critics of such norms that claim much. Like if the world wasn't heteronormative then flying would have been invented sooner, and Rome would never have fallen. Or some such. Most people in their teens feel isolated. It is what teens do from their families before forging adult relationships. Only, with about 1% of the population Gay, Gays are isolated and there is truth to their pain. But that is not the fault of heteronormative culture, but of a society lacking in much grace, kindness or fellowship which results from strong institutional assets.
US state police in Massachusetts warn not to chase bears. It is sensible advice. Horatio Nelson as a young man went on an arctic exhibition, and while his ship was ice locked, was told of a polar bear nearby. So, against orders, he went to shoot the bear. He failed, and was reprimanded. Asked what he had tried to achieve, Nelson pushed out his lower lip and said he wanted to get a white fur coat for his father. These days, those ambitions are frowned on. And it is still dangerous.

Today's Old Testament reading: 1 Chronicles 16-18
Ministering Before the Ark
1 They brought the ark of God and set it inside the tent that David had pitched for it, and they presented burnt offerings and fellowship offerings before God. 2 After David had finished sacrificing the burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD. 3 Then he gave a loaf of bread, a cake of dates and a cake of raisins to each Israelite man and woman....
Today's New Testament reading: John 7:28-53
28 Then Jesus, still teaching in the temple courts, cried out, "Yes, you know me, and you know where I am from. I am not here on my own authority, but he who sent me is true. You do not know him, 29 but I know him because I am from him and he sent me."
30 At this they tried to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come. 31 Still, many in the crowd believed in him. They said, "When the Messiah comes, will he perform more signs than this man?"
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd whispering such things about him. Then the chief priests and the Pharisees sent temple guards to arrest him....

Morning
Changeful experience often leads the anxious believer to inquire "Why is it thus with me?" I looked for light, but lo, darkness came; for peace, but behold, trouble. I said in my heart, my mountain standeth firm; I shall never be moved. Lord, thou dost hide thy face, and I am troubled. It was but yesterday that I could read my title clear; today my evidences are bedimmed, and my hopes are clouded. Yesterday, I could climb to Pisgah's top, and view the landscape o'er, and rejoice with confidence in my future inheritance; today, my spirit has no hopes, but many fears; no joys, but much distress. Is this part of God's plan with me? Can this be the way in which God would bring me to heaven? Yes, it is even so. The eclipse of your faith, the darkness of your mind, the fainting of your hope, all these things are but parts of God's method of making you ripe for the great inheritance upon which you shall soon enter. These trials are for the testing and strengthening of your faith--they are waves that wash you further upon the rock--they are winds which waft your ship the more swiftly towards the desired haven. According to David's words, so it might be said of you, "So he bringeth them to their desired haven." By honour and dishonour, by evil report and by good report, by plenty and by poverty, by joy and by distress, by persecution and by peace, by all these things is the life of your souls maintained, and by each of these are you helped on your way. Oh, think not, believer, that your sorrows are out of God's plan; they are necessary parts of it. "We must, through much tribulation, enter the kingdom." Learn, then, even to "count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations."
"O let my trembling soul be still,
And wait thy wise, thy holy will!
I cannot, Lord, thy purpose see,
Yet all is well since ruled by thee."
Evening
"Behold, thou art fair, my Beloved."
Song of Solomon 1:16
Song of Solomon 1:16
From every point our Well-beloved is most fair. Our various experiences are meant by our heavenly Father to furnish fresh standpoints from which we may view the loveliness of Jesus; how amiable are our trials when they carry us aloft where we may gain clearer views of Jesus than ordinary life could afford us! We have seen him from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon, and he has shone upon us as the sun in his strength; but we have seen him also "from the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards," and he has lost none of his loveliness. From the languishing of a sick bed, from the borders of the grave, have we turned our eyes to our soul's spouse, and he has never been otherwise than "all fair." Many of his saints have looked upon him from the gloom of dungeons, and from the red flames of the stake, yet have they never uttered an ill word of him, but have died extolling his surpassing charms. Oh, noble and pleasant employment to be forever gazing at our sweet Lord Jesus! Is it not unspeakably delightful to view the Saviour in all his offices, and to perceive him matchless in each?--to shift the kaleidoscope, as it were, and to find fresh combinations of peerless graces? In the manger and in eternity, on the cross and on his throne, in the garden and in his kingdom, among thieves or in the midst of cherubim, he is everywhere "altogether lovely." Examine carefully every little act of his life, and every trait of his character, and he is as lovely in the minute as in the majestic. Judge him as you will, you cannot censure; weigh him as you please, and he will not be found wanting. Eternity shall not discover the shadow of a spot in our Beloved, but rather, as ages revolve, his hidden glories shall shine forth with yet more inconceivable splendour, and his unutterable loveliness shall more and more ravish all celestial minds.

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)
