My name is David Daniel Ball I'm a teacher with three decades experience teaching math to high school kids.I also work with first graders and kids in between first grade and high school. I know the legends of why Hypatia's dad is remembered through his contribution to Math theory. And I know the legend of why followers of Godel had thought he had disproved God's existence.
I'm not a preacher, but I am a Christian who has written over 28 books all of which include some reference to my faith. Twelve blog books on world history and current affairs, detailing world events , births and marriages on each day of the year, organised by month. Twelve books on the background to and history of Bible Quotes. One Bible quote per day for a year. An intro to a science fiction series I'm planning, post apocalyptic cyber punk. An autobiography with short story collections.
I'm known in Australia for my failure as a whistleblower over the negligence death of a school boy. I had reported the issue responsibly and had not known I'd blown the whistle. The embarrassed left wing government had responded by imposition of a nationwide ban on the use of peanut butter in canteens, despite failing to address the issue of peanut allergy appropriately.
I've been de-platformed on Facebook and twitter despite not being an activist. Twitter did not like me asking for Obama to face justice in 2011. FB gave no specific reason for removing me following Jan 6th 2021 in Washington DC where a policeman killed an unarmed woman, so a crowd would know he was in control.
https://voiceddb.locals.com/post/1018405/intro-to-locals-for-the-conservative-voiceA successful withdrawal was what was engineered at Gallipolli, where, over three days troops pulled out of defended positions and left on ships .. nobody died. That was war. Nobody was left behind. Because of the failure, WW1 was prolonged another two and a half years, Russia collapsed etc etc. The price of failure was big. But the retreat was a success. In contrast, Biden's retreat was utter failure in Afghanistan.
Editorial on Covid policy failure
It is apparent COVID policy is political, not health related. However health advice has been political and not health related. Public health has been corrupted. Media has failed. Judiciary is corrupt. Defence is incompetent. The thin blue line has been cut. And, elder abuse is apparent from the Presidential office through to the ordinary NYC retirement home. On the plus side, there is an emerging possibility of an empty gesture securing the white house for womyn on behalf of one raised in Canada. Dan Andrews' lockdown has cancelled AA meetings. Go the beers. Playgrounds have been shut down state wide and even a curfew has been re-imposed. There is no science showing any such measure addresses COVID, but we know it allows the government to assert authority.

Fair work accepted his excuse for being a dangerous idiot because he was a member of Reclaim Australia? A Perth baggage handler was fired after he joked about supporting ISIS online. His social media joke could have cost the business who hired him a lot. But Fair Work don't seem to feel that employers have rights.
That word, Apex. I do not think it means what they seem to think it does. A pregnant woman was attacked by several armed people who thought it funny to intimidate her. Possibly Apex gang related.
All Malcolm can actually achieve is further humiliation before his eventual resignation. He held on to this dud superannuation plan for too long. But unlike Abbott's maternity leave, all Turnbull ever wanted was personal kudos. At the expense of older people.
Now, if he tells his family, they will put red underpants on their head? Stephen Conroy, former communications Minister who once claimed he was so powerful he could make media chiefs put red underwear on their heads just by asking them. His greatest achievement. Everything else was a thought bubble he couldn't finish.
You don't beat racism by promoting race. Local council opposes divisive racist ceremony.
Cultural assets strengthen us. But we are divided by those who don't protect cultural assets, but promote minorities over them. All lives matter. It is not us vs them. The truly progressive way is to help all benefit. The poor aged care nurse deserved to be comforted, not to be stolen from.
Is Triggs trying to fight sexism and racism by providing examples? Is she also charged with fighting incompetence?
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.
Speaking of miracles, the IPCC have through sheer denial been able to limit global warming. They have exceeded all their models in the restriction of 16 years without warming. Even though the world has been warming ever since the ice age ended. They are even admitting that the world had a warm period about a thousand years ago.
Tragedy in USA as a 17 yo boy shoots an old man in the head, dead. The boy could have been one of Obama's sons. The US is a great nation, but she sinks sadly under her abysmal President. I was reminded today not to compare the US to pre Nazi Germany. I wouldn't compare her to Nazi Germany either. But she is being humbled in areas she should lead, and people are dying inside and outside because of it.
The only thing I'm certain of, is the response of any leftist to the issues of the day .. virulent abuse against any conservative.

Editorial Biden's Afghan failure culminated from Obama's Afghan lies
Afghanistan is in flames as Biden begins bombing runs on terrorists as he seeks to negotiate with them. US soldiers have been killed after a strategic error left an exposed airport the only means of Americans and their allies to flee. Biden says those that remained behind wanted to, after fleeing Afghans clinging to a wing and fuselage of an aircraft plummet to their deaths. After Biden had said the Afghan government would stand following US withdrawal. US left behind billions of dollars of weapons Chicago gangs look on with shock and awe. The Taliban will not use a fleet of Blackhawk helicopters. China will.
So who is responsible for the failure? According to Biden, the buck stops with him, and he views it as a Dunkirk like success, when he is not looking at his watch waiting for mourning to end of soldiers that died in his service. Biden also feels any mistake was made by Donald Trump as NK begins nuclear weapons work. The US military have included critical junior officers in their lists of personal pronouns for enemies. What is a personal pronoun for a failed President?
Editorial on God In answer to Dinesh Dsousa's article
The God the atheists refute is not real, but is a ridiculous, impossible figure. God is real. God as He is revealed in the Bible is a fact. However, as ridiculous as the atheists arguments are, they are instructive. God made a bridge He could not cross (man's rejection of Him). God bridged that gap with Jesus. Thing is, atheists don't believe that that gap is real.
In my Sermon on a Miracle I describe how God gave a childless woman who could not bear children, prayed for children, family. He did that. And he did not use supernatural measures.
God is real. God does the impossible. God is not subject to our demands. God answers prayer. Sometimes bad people prosper for a time. All those statements are true.
God is worthy of praise. Atheists don't see it, but they have countless examples of it, from their own lives to the works of those they admire. In the Revelations of the Holy Spirit I underscore and outline some of what God does that even atheists call for.
We need god, but even in a world without God, there is a need for Him.

A daily column on what the ALP have as a policy, supported by a local member, and how it has 'helped' the local community. I'll stop if I cannot identify a policy. Feel free to make suggestions. Contact me on FB, not twitter. I have twitter, but never look at it.
Gabrielle Williams was appointed Parliamentary Secretary for Carers and Volunteers, working with the Minister for Housing, Disability and Ageing and the Minister for Families and Children. Williams was given those titles when elected in 2014. It is difficult to find what value she has been to Dandenong, but clearly the ALP see her as the future.

As part of the November 24th Vic election campaign I have a petition I want to bring before the Opposition Leader Matthew Guy. I believe Matthew will be the next premier of Victoria and so I am petitioning him as I raise the issues of Employment, Crime and Education in Dandenong. I am also seeking money for my campaign. I don't have party resources, and so my campaign is on foot, and on the internet. Any money I receive that is not spent on the campaign will go to Grow 4 Life. I am asking questions like "What do you love about Dandenong?" and "If you could change something in Dandenong to make it better, what would it be?" I'm not limiting the questions to state issues. I'm happy to discuss anything, and get things done.

Some things should not happen, but they do. A made up quote and bad journalism is behind the falsehood that some time in 1967, the Monkeys were more popular than the Beatles and Rolling Stones combined. The statement was made up and the journalist told it was going to be a lie. And they swallowed it. As have many who reported it since.
Former high court judge, and attorney general Lionel Murphy was being investigated for corruption, until he was declared to have had terminal cancer. He died in 1986. In all likelihood, Murphy was probably influence peddling for communists and criminals. He may have contracted underworld figures to lean on witnesses and he may have paid off underworld figures with reduced sentences. Much has been made of his enquiring mind with its abiding interest in science. Similar was also said of Jeff Shaw. The ALP are in need of reform. But they retain office, and are close to federal election victory without reform, and so that reform does not happen.
The corrupt practice of the leadership of the Human Rights Council of Australia should see it wrapped up. Tony Abbott has called for that. Leigh Sales points out that Turnbull has done nothing in two years as PM. In reply, Turnbull apparently agrees.

Sarkozy lost a lot of respect from me when he was overheard joining with Obama and criticising Netanyahu by calling Israel untrustworthy. Sarkozy has ambitions of being President of France again. He now says he is a climate skeptic. He is more of a leader now, than when he was President. So does he trust Israel now?
Fair work accepted his excuse for being a dangerous idiot because he was a member of Reclaim Australia? A Perth baggage handler was fired after he joked about supporting ISIS online.

From 2014
Today is the anniversary of the Battle for Britain. The time when the cream of the greatest generation put everything on the line, paying the ultimate price, time and time again. So many owed so much to so few. Some pilots came from Australia, some from the US and Canada and many many sons of the United Kingdom saved democracy from tyranny. And the commonwealth did it alone. They fought under the Union Jack. And today we have a headline from the UK "No Jews in shop." The shop in question did not have that policy, but a security guard who has now been sacked. It is a chilling reminder that success in WW2 does not mean success for all time. The price of Liberty is eternal vigilance. Many will point the finger at Islamic peoples, and many Islamic peoples will point the finger at themselves for the abuse because it is terrorist related and Islamofascists have substantial influence in Islamic leadership circles. Even Western leaders go to water without calling out the bigotry. Al Qaeda are critical of ISIS and their methods, which is exactly like a fellow serial killer criticising another's methods but not the activity. The sad truth is that Islam is not terrorist and those who are terrorist bring Islam into disrepute. But, at the moment, Islam is spineless and impotent, incapable of facing the terrorists down. Often the terrorists are beheading other Islamic peoples, but sometimes they don't. It has been observed that many who have been beheaded have not insulted the prophet and did not, legally, merit the murder. But it will be Australians arming Stalinists from the PKK that crowns the irony of the day. It is terrorism that must be opposed.
Some don't get it. Tribalism trumps policy when it comes to the left in times of crisis. In Australia, Unions profited from the war effort, and often opposed it. In the UK, there was a wartime unity government, but even so the Labor Party jockeyed for position in the democracy while the conservatives made sacrifices. Radical left winger Andrew Denton likes the rhetoric of the Greens. It is appealing to not have responsibility limiting rhetoric, but not a desirable characteristic for a fair and balanced follower of politics. Shorten claims to be supportive of the Conservative Government's foreign policy, but a number of the ALP members are not supportive. They really need a policy, not tribal ambitions. Meanwhile, Shorten has questions to answer regarding slush funds. It turns out that rubbish bins are victims in the war against terror.
Sweden has shown that a successful conservative government can inspire voters to experiment with the left once they are cashed up. But this time there is a sting with anti immigrants gaining the balance of power. Pratt's prostitute has shown the importance of not relying on wills for estates, but connecting with loved ones in life. An Indonesian policeman is claiming special knowledge about MH370, but does not claim to know where it is. An unlicensed driver has killed a school girl at a black spot and calls for all drivers to slow down. Only, changing regulation would not prevent the unlicensed driver from killing the school girl. Gay marriage advocates fail to see joke of two straight men marrying to get Rugby test tickets. They are arguing that it diminishes marriage and cheapens it? Journalists are exposed as opposing mines for no reason. Antarctic sea ice grows to record levels, highlighting the lie of AGW alarmism. Kiribati is growing, not sinking. One day, Australia will be offered apartheid for their constitution. One hopes she votes 'no'

From 2013
Tonight with the new Abbott ministry announced I have difficulties. All of the members are good. All are better than any of the ALP. My problem is I don't know who to approach to get my issue dealt with. I cannot approach my local federal member again, he has declined to help, and he is ALP (Jason Clare). I've liaised with other surrounding seats .. I live in ALP territory .. none will help. In the past, I've been told I could go to the UK or USA to find work as a qualified Mathematics teacher. At the moment, I cannot get even a day's work as a relief teacher in the most difficult to staff schools in the state .. the education department of NSW will have children unsupervised in the playground rather than hire me. I have not done anything wrong. I have correctly reported on a possible pedophile and observed how the authorities bungled the investigation. I correctly reported a child with a serious allergy and observed how, because I had been ignored, or worse, because I was being tested, the child died from apparent neglect. Because of that, I was harassed at my workplace and beyond. I resigned to speak out, and my local state member (Then, Joe Tripodi) apparently colluded to have me silenced. My citizenship evidence was destroyed and then called into question. My bank moved to seize my home. The ATO have investigated me twice, the second time is ongoing. I was offered the pension and told I was too fat to teach if I didn't want to. I have been employed by an abuser as a teacher's aide, and denied basic conditions to Fair Work. I have been timed out of IR court by the politician who wrote the IR legislation (Della Bosca, then Education Minister). I have approached the police and been ignored. I have been denied legal aid on the grounds I wasn't declared Aboriginal. I am a few months away from having my unit seized again. Who do I approach with my story? The federal police tell me they are interested in some of my testimony regarding the pedophile, but it is apparent it is a low priority and possibly years before they ask basic questions. I approached the NSW State Education Minister with my issue and they referred me to the police who say it isn't their problem. Soon I will begin a business .. but, really, I'm not asking for hand outs, just justice. And I have to endure the acting PM's (Bowen, ALP, local to me) quip that the Abbott ministry doesn't have enough women. I disagree .. the ministry has Julie Bishop, who is better than any ALP member, and I am confident when others arise they will be, as the Libs do, promoted on merit. Bronwyn Bishop for speaker, and, sadly, no Sophie Mirabella unless a miracle occurs.
Speaking of miracles, the IPCC have through sheer denial been able to limit global warming. They have exceeded all their models in the restriction of 16 years without warming. Even though the world has been warming ever since the ice age ended. They are even admitting that the world had a warm period about a thousand years ago.
Tragedy in USA as a 17 yo boy shoots an old man in the head, dead. The boy could have been one of Obama's sons. The US is a great nation, but she sinks sadly under her abysmal President. I was reminded today not to compare the US to pre Nazi Germany. I wouldn't compare her to Nazi Germany either. But she is being humbled in areas she should lead, and people are dying inside and outside because of it.
