Editorial on Fascists using COVID to seize control of government
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other. galatians 5:22-26A bible quote worth considering when you remember that a Christian Pastor in Canada was arrested for church services during COVID when he refused to allow authorities to shut his services down. No statistics, as yet, as to the number of congregants who died, but I assume it is none.
The Pastor is arrested by police. Note the force used.

The fraudulent election of Joe Biden has led to substantial change around the world. Here are some recent achievements of President Biden.
Clueless Psaki Falsely Claims Enhanced Unemployment Benefits Not Boosting Joblessness
U.S. Warships Fire Warning Shots After Being Swarmed by Iranian Gunboats
Suspect Identified in Times Square Shooting
===And so, the priorities of the DOJ shift to raiding Rudy Giuliani?
Editorial left wing is awful world wide
It isn't just the fraudulent President Biden's administration which shows the shortcoming off left wing liberalism around the world.
Left wing culture is weird. A teacher on Zoom in NYC took time off class to suck the nipple of a male whom she had been eating spaghetti with earlier. The class was for a prestigious school and the 37 year old teacher has no excuse for her behaviour. Not to be outdone, World class athlete Jarryd Haynes has been convicted of rape and is to serve jail time. It is rare in Australia for rapists to be convicted, with some 1% of rape cases proceeding to conviction, historically. But Hayne's defence claims mitigation as he was paroled to a bible college awaiting trial? How is it Jesus might forgive rape? What about Assange? Meanwhile the judge speaks out, seeming to inflate the circumstances of aggravated rape which Hayne was not convicted.
An Australian Comedian reached out to Peter Allen, stealing his song "I still call Australia home" and twisting the lyrics to 'I still can't call Australia home.' What could be funnier than calling a liberal democracy run by a conservative government as foreign?
China puts a rocket in space without planning how it would fall from orbit. Maybe China should speak to the Malaysian Airways flight 370 pilot, who allegedly planned his suicide taking passengers with him in an as yet untraced flight. Or maybe China could ask Dan Andrews who seems to plan for things, but forget making the plans after they fail. Also Andrews moves to prevent evidence of plans being seen by the public.
Special shout out to Joe Biden for telling a fake personal story about Amtrak rail. Lying on mother's day adds a personal touch, reminding of Obama's gift.
Joe Biden’s latest hire was a huge supporter of this deep-state scandal. In this episode, I discuss the disturbing connections between these major figures in the Biden administration, and these fake Trump scandals.

Here is a video I made My Mother
Ann Taylor (30 January 1782 - 20 December 1866) was an English poet and literary critic. In her youth she was a writer of verse for children, for which she achieved long-lasting popularity. In the years immediately preceding her marriage, she became an astringent literary critic of growing reputation. She is, however, best remembered as the elder sister and collaborator of Jane Taylor.
Ann Taylor's son, Josiah Gilbert, wrote: 'two little poems"My Mother," and "Twinkle, twinkle, little Star," are perhaps, more frequently quoted than any; the first, a lyric of life, was by Ann, the second, of nature, by Jane; and they illustrate this difference between the sisters.' Both poems attracted the compliment of frequent parody throughout the 19th century.
Who sat and watched my infant head
When sleeping on my cradle bed,
And tears of sweet affection shed?
My Mother.
When pain and sickness made me cry,
Who gazed upon my heavy eye,
And wept for fear that I should die?
My Mother.
Who taught my infant lips to pray
And love God’s holy book and day,
And walk in wisdom’s pleasant way?
My Mother.
And can I ever cease to be
Affectionate and kind to thee,
Who wast so very kind to me,
My Mother?
Ah, no! the thought I cannot bear,
And if God please my life to spare
I hope I shall reward they care,
My Mother.
When thou art feeble, old and grey,
My healthy arm shall be thy stay,
And I will soothe thy pains away,
My Mother.

Don't give up on hope. Mothers Day is Sunday this year. It began after Anna Jarvis held a memorial in 1908 for her mother, who passed in 1905. Ann Jarvis had helped the wounded of both sides during the civil war, and established Mother's Day Work Clubs to speak out on public health issues. The day had been intended to be an individual's tribute to their own mother. However, by 1914, Democrat President Woodrow Wilson recognised he could profit from it politically. Anna would later denounce the commercialism of the day. It is incumbent on us to make things good for mothers and families. At the moment there are many obstacles to child bearing and it doesn't have to be so. Every family has to negotiate sacrifice at many instances so that the family can grow. One issue at the moment involves women in the work place and equal pay outcomes. The issue is a furphy because there will always be sacrifices made. But things need to be good for families as a whole. That was recognised by Peter Costello and famously there was a baby boom during his treasury tenure. The best gift for mothers, in a public sense, is prosperity and affluence for the community. Which should mean improving work outcomes, lowering public debt and allowing business to profit.
Is there a citizenship crisis, or are politicians just whingeing? The problem is not the Australian Constitution but the outrageous, unworkable interpretation placed on it by the Australian High Court. Activists are happy to profit from pain and misery of refugees. Political activists were happy when conservatives were foul of the dumb interpretation of the constitution by the High Court, but now their ALP is suffering, they declare it is a crisis. The law does not need to change. The High Court has created a constitutional crisis for their own reasons. It had been a Green/ALP nexus between NZ and Australia which was only supposed to get conservatives. But, like many green ideas, the consequences are deleterious to all, and not controllable. Just like spending $100 trillion on lowering the world temperature by half a degree centigrade in a hundred years.
Trump haters have many reasons to hate Trump. Trump policies are saving lives around the world and making things better everywhere. For example, NK is set to come into the world and boom economically, like China did after Nixon, only better. Or Israel may be more secure than at any time since Hanukah was instituted. And at every step left wing progressives have opposed liberty, equality and fraternity in favour of terror, sadness and loss. Today I'll include a picture of a Sudanese woman who was put to death through a tyre necklace burning allegedly for being unfaithful. Does Trump Hater Julie Bishop see the misogyny?

John Roskam, IPA chief, has raised a very important issue when expressing anger over a primary school declining a visit from AFL players because they had not passed a working with children check. Not that they had done anything wrong, they simply did not have the documents. It is draconian and useless legislation that is not applied appropriately. Teachers who act loco parentis need the check. Players who are merely showing off the footy code are not a threat to children's welfare. But a compelling argument could be made that any ALP member should not be given a pass to work with children, and talk at schools, as they have an awful history regarding pedophilia. Be it a Tasmanian who was diabetic and claimed it led them to have inappropriate under age sex, or a Minister for Aboriginal Affairs in NSW, or a suicidal Northern Territory senator, ALP have an awful history of picking monsters. Children's sporting team coaches need a working with children check, but it is absurd that AFL players cannot be around to inspire children.
Some things should not happen, but they do. I wanted some gatorade twenty years ago and they were promoting ARL. A new school I attended was successful at ARL and so I asked an ARL salesman if they wanted to visit the school. I would buy the gatorade. The player involved, an international, got cold feet. Nobody wants to be humiliated by children, but that was never going to happen. It is just a black eye for the entire code. I stopped pretending to follow the code after. It was around the time of Superleague, and St George deciding not to go with their fans to Superleague, but join with Illawarra instead. I care nothing if they win anymore. I feel resentment and anger. But then ARL is not a great sport like AFL.
Bolt has a tendency to write in terms favourable to the ALP. Another NSW Lib has decided to step aside for the next election after saying he believes he does not have clean hands because his election funding may have been corruptly obtained. That is a far cry from the Liberal Party being corrupt like the ALP. All it means is that particular member is more principled than any member of the ALP. A moment's thought on the issue would restore public faith in Liberal Government. It isn't a good look, but it is an example of how anti corruption process can function .. under a Liberal government. Apparently, it can't function under the ALP. And that is something that should worry Bolt.

The deficit is dangerously high. The senate is blocking needed cuts. But, a recent lift in Iron Ore prices and a smaller than predicted unemployment figure have meant a smaller budget shortfall than expected. But while $45 billion debt will be higher than reality, it will still be over $40 billion and that is unsustainable. Eventually, if it is not addressed, Australia will lose her ability to fund essential services. One cannot own what they cannot afford.
The sliming of Mr Abbott is revolting. Fairfax have released a 'cartoon' portraying Mr Abbott in four faces, with a number on each forehead. The numbers represent each time Mr Abbott has referenced what each face is about. Death Cult has 346 references. Ebola has 68 references. Ice has 53 references. Domestic Violence has 43 references. The PM is a spokesperson whose job it is to refer to these issues. But Fairfax owns newspapers which are supposed to report, not spin, issues. How many times have the Fairfax mast-heads mentioned Mr Abbott negatively without reporting what he has been doing?
Literacy and numeracy tests begin today for about a million children around Australia, called NAPLAN. The three days of tests are very good at measuring achievement standards across schools, showing how resources can best be allocated. The tests are also god at tracking student progress, as the tests are carried out for years 3, 5, 7 and 9. The tests could also highlight teacher performance but teacher unions have opposed that. The ancient anti test lobby point out that the tests are no substitute for love and celebration of personal goals. While that has no relevance to the issues, it is, as it goes, right.
On this day in 304, Roman Emperor Diocletian ordered the beheading of the 14-year-old Pancras of Rome. Pancras' mother died when he was born. His father died when he was eight, and he was left in the care of his uncle. They became Christians and when Diocletian began his persecutions, Pancras refused to sacrifice to another God. At first amused, Diocletian ordered the beheading. In 907, Zhu Wen forced Emperor Ai into abdicating, ending the Tang Dynasty after nearly three hundred years of rule. 922, after much hardship, Abbasid envoy Ahmad ibn Fadlan arrived in the lands of Volga Bulgars. His writing of the expedition is an early written account of life among the pre literate Vikings. 1191, Richard I of England married Berengaria of Navarre who was crowned Queen consort of England the same day. As Queen, she never set foot on English soil.1328, Antipope Nicholas V, a claimant to the papacy, was consecrated in Rome by the Bishop of Venice. He is called Antipope because he was made 'pope' by order of the Holy Roman Emperor and not through traditional agency.
In 1510, the Prince of Anhua rebellion began when Zhu Zhifan killed all the officials invited to a banquet and declared his intent on ousting the powerful Ming Dynasty eunuch Liu Jinduring the reign of the Zhengde Emperor. Zhou was eventually captured, and allowed to kill himself before being executed. 1551, National University of San Marcos, the oldest university in the Americas, was founded in Lima, Peru. 1588, French Wars of Religion: Henry III of France fled Paris after Henry of Guise entered the city and a spontaneous uprising occurred.1619, Dutch statesman Johan van Oldenbarnevelt was sentenced to death for high treason. It was a tragedy, he had merely been a good diplomat. 1689, King William's War: William III of England joined the League of Augsburg starting a war with France. 1743, Maria Theresa of Austria was crowned Queen of Bohemia after defeating her rival, Charles VII, Holy Roman Emperor. 1780, American Revolutionary War: In the largest defeat of the Continental Army, Charleston, South Carolina was taken by British forces. 1797, First Coalition: Napoleon I of France conquered Venice.

From 2014
Reg Gasnier was born on this day, 1939, and died the day before (2014). As a Rugby League player, he had great timing too. Called Puff the Magic Dragon, he was a centre for St George club, which had eleven consecutive titles, six under Gasnier. Also born on this day was a great lady who did her greatest work in bed, Florence Nightingale (1820). Florence had acted as a nurse in Crimea, and set up a battlefield surgery. It was a failure in implementation, but a successful concept. In later life, it was her missives that she made from her bed which secured her legacy. But for me, the most poignant birthday cheer is for German Swiss holocaust survivor businessman Otto Frank. His daughter, Anne, kept a diary at the place they were hiding, and he found it after the war, Anne had died. He kept her memory alive by publishing her work. He lightly edited the work because he hadn't thought it right that his daughter's hatred should be broadened to all Germans when it was Nazi atrocity. In writing the diary, Anne would not have known the end. None of us does, until it visits us. We should live our lives with that faith. And if our lives are so unfairly cut short, we can point to the achievement, and not be remembered as victim to the accursed.

Jehoahaz King of Israel
1 In the twenty-third year of Joash son of Ahaziah king of Judah, Jehoahaz son of Jehu became king of Israel in Samaria, and he reigned seventeen years. 2 He did evil in the eyes of the LORD by following the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he had caused Israel to commit, and he did not turn away from them. 3 So the LORD's anger burned against Israel, and for a long time he kept them under the power of Hazael king of Aram and Ben-Hadad his son....

Jesus Changes Water Into Wine
1 On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus' mother was there, 2 and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine was gone, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no more wine."

Morning
It is well there is One who is ever the same, and who is ever with us. It is well there is one stable rock amidst the billows of the sea of life. O my soul, set not thine affections upon rusting, moth-eaten, decaying treasures, but set thine heart upon him who abides forever faithful to thee. Build not thine house upon the moving quicksands of a deceitful world, but found thy hopes upon this rock, which, amid descending rain and roaring floods, shall stand immovably secure. My soul, I charge thee, lay up thy treasure in the only secure cabinet; store thy jewels where thou canst never lose them. Put thine all in Christ; set all thine affections on his person, all thy hope in his merit, all thy trust in his efficacious blood, all thy joy in his presence, and so thou mayest laugh at loss, and defy destruction. Remember that all the flowers in the world's garden fade by turns, and the day cometh when nothing will be left but the black, cold earth. Death's black extinguisher must soon put out thy candle. Oh! how sweet to have sunlight when the candle is gone! The dark flood must soon roll between thee and all thou hast; then wed thine heart to him who will never leave thee; trust thyself with him who will go with thee through the black and surging current of death's stream, and who will land thee safely on the celestial shore, and make thee sit with him in heavenly places forever. Go, sorrowing son of affliction, tell thy secrets to the Friend who sticketh closer than a brother. Trust all thy concerns with him who never can be taken from thee, who will never leave thee, and who will never let thee leave him, even "Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and today, and forever." "Lo, I am with you alway," is enough for my soul to live upon, let who will forsake me.
Evening
Our God's tender love for his servants makes him concerned for the state of their inward feelings. He desires them to be of good courage. Some esteem it a small thing for a believer to be vexed with doubts and fears, but God thinks not so. From this text it is plain that our Master would not have us entangled with fears. He would have us without carefulness, without doubt, without cowardice. Our Master does not think so lightly of our unbelief as we do. When we are desponding we are subject to a grievous malady, not to be trifled with, but to be carried at once to the beloved Physician. Our Lord loveth not to see our countenance sad. It was a law of Ahasuerus that no one should come into the king's court dressed in mourning: this is not the law of the King of kings, for we may come mourning as we are; but still he would have us put off the spirit of heaviness, and put on the garment of praise, for there is much reason to rejoice. The Christian man ought to be of a courageous spirit, in order that he may glorify the Lord by enduring trials in an heroic manner. If he be fearful and fainthearted, it will dishonour his God. Besides, what a bad example it is. This disease of doubtfulness and discouragement is an epidemic which soon spreads amongst the Lord's flock. One downcast believer makes twenty souls sad. Moreover, unless your courage is kept up, Satan will be too much for you. Let your spirit be joyful in God your Saviour, the joy of the Lord shall be your strength, and no fiend of hell shall make headway against you; but cowardice throws down the banner. Moreover, labour is light to a man of cheerful spirit; and success waits upon cheerfulness. The man who toils, rejoicing in his God, believing with all his heart, has success guaranteed. He who sows in hope shall reap in joy; therefore, dear reader, "be thou strong, and very courageous."

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)
