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.

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.

Scott Morrison deserves a chance as PM. While I was in Sydney, recently, two Turnbull inspired campaigns have attacked sitting members Tony Abbott and Peter Dutton. Dutton has been criticised by an ALP dominated senate working committee which has made a decision that should give chills to anyone thinking of making ALP government after next election. The committee deemed Dutton to have mislead parliament when he hadn't. It is an echo of the abuse of power of Dan Andrews ALP Victorian Government, where the police have announced an investigation into Red Shirt Rorts will involve questioning sitting ALP members, including the police minister, through written submissions. Tony Abbott's seat was called into question by activists, but he has done great work locally, and in Australia. In an echo of the PM's position, activists claimed that the public needed to know which members supported Abbott and which did not, wilfully misunderstanding democratic process. Along with the assault on Abbott was the refrain "Women don't trust Abbott and, without women, Abbott cannot be elected." But, women do trust Abbott and Abbott has often been elected.
Local councils dominated by Greens and ALP have recently suggested the awful idea of growing fruit in public areas to feed the hungry. Only farmers are best for growing food, not local councils. It is not merely for having healthy fruit, but also for security of that fruit, as has been recently highlighted with needles being inserted into fruit around the country. A twelve year old girl has been caught in one isolated incident. The real culprit starting the terrorism has not yet been caught.
Donald Trump's GOP in congress seem weak in not calling for a vote on Brett Kavanaugh. However, it is the Democrats who have behaved abysmal, holding up the confirmation with empty allegations. According to the press, the poor behaviour is impressive for supporters, who want to see more such spoiling in government. McCain was one GOP who seemed to work for the Clinton Foundation. Are there others? Let the public see, with a vote.
Today I return from Sydney to writing. My trip to Sydney was by train, because I don't fit in plane seats, and can't afford multiple tickets. I was blessed to see friends and attend a magnificent wedding. I had planned to go first class on the train, overnight, for the ten hour journey. I'd mistaken first class seat with first class cabin, which was how I came to Melbourne in '16. My apologies to my fellow first class passengers. Ten hours next to me overnight. I could not sleep as there were not facilities for my CPAP machine. The return journey and the journey up were both fully booked, so there was no room to move. After a few legs, each journey, the train company took pity on my fellow passengers and gave up seats to allow me a double. One life saver was the silicon nose inserts that worked as a fall back. I couldn't sleep, but did not snore. Special shout out to Dan Andrews Victoria leg, on the journey out, Train was stopped at Frankston by police, playing chases with youths on the tracks.

From my article on Quora
‘Competence of left wing governments in stable democracies’ is a worst case of revisionism in school history today. It underpins a number of common tropes used to assuage bitter feelings when the left do badly. So that “Kennedy had a troubled history in government, ..” ..”but his foreign policy was intelligent.” .. “but his speeches were magnificent” .. “but he was for civil rights.” But, if one digs, one finds all the wonderful aspects overstated. Magnificent speeches were not written by him and not followed through by him. Kennedy’s vaunted civil rights record is tarnished when one notes he gave free reign to Wallace. But if one looks at the Democrat Presidents who followed JFK, where is the virtue of LBJ, Carter, Clinton or Obama? All of them were horrible in foreign affairs or domestic issues. Clinton’s greatest achievement was having a GOP congress to guide the economy. But, looking backwards, Truman, FDR and Wilson were no better. All three were involved in war atrocities that would cashier a GOP President. GOP can be criticised, but can Dems? Not in our modern classroomsIn UK, much has been made of weak conservative leaders post Thatcher. But, Blair and Brown and their non PM leaders, following, have shrunk over time in moral terms. Jeremy Corbyn’s position on Israel and Palestine is not the position of a good world citizen. Brown’s views on Scotland have not benefited the Scots. Under UK Labor, UK were unable to grow their economy appropriately. They make Therese May look competent. PM May was not the best candidate, Boris Johnson, who was sidelined when an ambitious backer of his backstabbed him. The conservative infrastructure is terribly compromised by organisations such as the Clinton Foundation which has compromised conservative parties internationally, buying individuals with money and access to power.
Similarly in Australia, from Whitlam, Hawke, Keating, Rudd and Gillard, Hawke being lauded, but Hawke had the advantage of Howard as opposition leader allowing good reforms to pass. In the last decade, a powerful union lobby has managed to overturn regulation that prevented their corruption. Under Work Choices, workers could engage unions if they wanted them. Under Fair Work, unions can use stand over tactics to extort from business and limit opportunities to employees.

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. ALP is announcing 12 new police for Dandenong. There are 168 hours each week. Each police person works a 36 hour week, so a week of one extra policeman is four and two thirds of an officer. So, the extra officers mean 2.5 extra officers are available at any one time. Across Victoria there are over eighteen thousand sworn members in Vic Pol. Victorian crime figures are high across the board. There is no excuse for it, but police members are not entirely to blame, they are forced to work under awful restrictions imposed by the Andrews government. Andrews recent expenditures show that figures are improving in the lead up to election, but that seems to be for two reasons, both related to opposition leader Matthew Guy's policies of giving police more latitude to police, and increasing police numbers. But Andrews implementation is unaffordable, while Guy has a package that is sustainable. Instead of hiring 2.5 more police and placing them on the front line, how about freeing currently working police to do their jobs effectively?

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.

Don't give up on hope. One disturbing incident today had a female in the childcare industry who said on social media that she was going to vote 'yes' for same sex marriage. Her boss inferred from it that she was a bigot who was not safe with children, and sacked her. Media became interested. The former employee said she had only said how she was going to vote, nothing else. The boss was interviewed by the ABC and hanged up on the station after declaring the former employee had merely disagreed with them, and therefore was unsafe to allow working with children. Special provision has been made regarding the expression of values on Same Sex Marriage which regulate this issue, but unfair dismissal may be brought into the settlement which could potentially be at odds with the special provision legislation. One understands the outrage that 'Yes' campaigners must feel at this absurd and unfair dismissal. The 'Yes' campaign had predicted it would happen.
Except, I have misrepresented the issue in one important aspect. The sacked employee had merely posted on social media she would vote 'no' and was sacked. And there is virtually no support for her over the unfair dismissal. It is the 'yes' advocates who are bringing the 'yes' case into disrepute. They will probably still win, but it calls into question their win. And the Postal vote is badly run. Some people have votes of third parties. Because the vote is secret, there is no verification for voter fraud, further undermining the potential outcome. One pollster has called Andrew Bolt on 3AW at about 8:40 pm and claimed that the 'no' vote is outspending the 'yes' vote on advertising. Where? Honi Soit magazine? Who has seen a 'no' advert?

Dan Andrews legislation to let people choose their sex on their birth certificate makes SSM moot.
Conroy represented a right branch of the ALP, but that is not right wing. Neither is it conservative. He is leaving his fantasy land and returning to family. I wish him well.
Those who feel Islam represents them and is codified by terror I hold in contempt.
Turnbull should not involve himself in gender politics. It looks like pork barrelling.
Obama re-initiated the cold war to solve his policy vacuum regarding foreign policy. Russia's activity is Obama's fault.
CNN caught promoting Hillary, by lying.
I stand opposed to apartheid. I always will.

Journalist Latika Bourke was writing about the '09 Liberal leadership spill and made the erroneous claim that Mr Abbott had knifed Mr Turnbull to get the leadership. That is not what happened. Bad leadership by Turnbull had meant that Rudd's proposed ETS was inevitable. It was a tax on Carbon dioxide which paid for nothing, and would be an impost on business and homes. As a banker, Turnbull was comfortable with a tax. Hockey had support to campaign within the party on the issue of opposing the ETS. Turnbull called a spill motion to unite the party. Hockey tanked and said the issue of global warming was a moral one. Mr Abbott stood up on the platform opposing an ETS. Hockey claimed to have negotiated to run for the leadership unopposed, but Turnbull stood up too. The global warming believers split their vote and Abbott won. Abbott had not knifed Turnbull, but had stood up only after a spill. On the other hand, Turnbull white anted Howard and Abbott and cruelled the elections of the LNP in Qld, SA, Vic and Aus. Latika, writing for the SMH likes division among conservatives. The cruel falsehood is meant to confuse those who don't know. Latika back tracked and later claimed that Turnbull was knifed by the right of the Liberal party. In fact, it would be right to replace him, and boot him from the party for treachery. Now that Turnbull is no longer undermining the Libs, Canning looks to be in the good hands of Mr Hastie. An improved educational curriculum has been released.

The Scottish first Minister was wrong and lied. Scotland has a proud history and is not diminished for being part of a United Kingdom. Everything that people said they wanted for Scotland in isolation, she has in unity. But the UK Labor party has played a role in this, they want division and resentment. They profit from it. Was the win big enough to keep UK united? Time will tell. One pressure point is gong to be when Charles is king. It has to do with character. And it is misleading to refer to the kingdom as the royal house represents both. Greens misread campaign and made predictions that Mr Abbott would be humiliated. They got it wrong too.
Large police raids in Sydney and Brisbane resulted in two charged with planning a terrorist hit on the community, capturing a person at random, beheading them and dragging their body through the streets wrapped in an ISIS flag. ABC immediately goes into damage protection mode, with journalists claiming the raids were over kill, and complaints were made of police brutality and abuse. One boy said his mother was with her husband in bed, naked, when the police broke in, alleging police did it for a cheap thrill. Actually, the boy alleged that police dogs did it which suggests the canine unit is very advanced and likes arab women. There is no specific allegation of crotch sniffing. But the ABC refers to tremendous 'sadness' regarding the raids. Nobody was killed in the raids, and apparently none was hurt, so the need for sadness is not apparent. Waleed Aly seems convinced that none of the terrorists were Islamic, and he would know, he says. Uthman Badar who defended honour killing speaks for terrorists at Lakemba. Catherine Deveny reckons a burka is less restrictive than the Western institution of marriage for women, so she clearly agrees with Uthman. The sad truth is that Jihadists are too few in number to win an election in Democracy. They are too weak to openly fight for what they believe, The terrorists hide and hurt the weakest because they are bullies and cowards. The Islamic leadership is similarly impotent and irrelevant, often supporting corruption and inspiring children in their community to underachieve.
Michael Mann, self proclaimed genius author of the Hockey Stick graph and serial liar is a warmest idiot. He offered a hashtag askdrmann where he threatened to report anyone who might not agree with him. Exactly to whom they might be reported is not clear. British warmist moron Jarvis Cocker wrote in the Guardian that he sailed around Greenland in 2008 and saw firsthand global warming. Only now there is black ice in Greenland. Warmists are agonising over what it means. It means the ice is not melting in summer and so impurities remain. When warmists stop wringing their hands, they might realise it is good news for them .. Greenland is not warming and they have photographic evidence.

Chief pirate Flannery has been dismasted. His acts of piracy answered by a reestablished rule of law. A rule which still hasn't reached the ABC. One act of piracy is pedophilia. It is outlawed, but some skirt those laws.
The ALP is looking for a leader. Abbott is acting as a leader, but the ALP don't like Abbott. They are quite rude about him. It is funny that the ALP are attracting a large number of new members. It seems to happen during times the ALP are prone to branch stacking. It is seen as a positive by those who approve of branch stacking. Howes wants to be involved by ditching the old Carr. North Korea is a bad place to be a free thinker. A bit like the ABC being a bad place to be a conservative, but worse. The sports drug issue is dying now that the impetus to get ALP reelected is gone.
