Canada loses another election
Trudeau rewarded for COVID failure. Who will be the next conservative leader? Will the next conservative leader have different policies to Trudeau? Why was PPC denied a place in leader's debate when they qualified on all criteria?
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.

We need free speech. Those opposing it for political opportunism risk losing their voice entirely.
Turnbull only stays on for further humiliation, before he resigns.
And the Senate kept Flannery in his over paid job? Thanks Shorten. Shorten stands by the corrupt and the inept.
Now that the ALP have brought about the end of the Baby Bonus, their activity will bring about an end to more welfare. We cannot keep what we cannot afford. Eventually, we will lose everything we now take for granted. Who is being cold and unfeeling now?
The left laud the incompetent that are from their tribe.
There are no winners when cultural assets are dissolved.
The devil is laughing
The favour Turnbull is offering Obama and Hillary Clinton masks the nature of the migrants. They are unlikely to be Catholic refugees from Costa Rica
In modern times, a dithering Obama has peacefully created a world where moderate Iranians make Iraqis execute former Saddam supporters. No news of Obama asking to hit Iran as he wanted to hit Syria.
In sad election news, it looks like crank Palmer has managed to buy himself a seat in parliament, denying a serious candidate. The result is close, so there will be a recount. Already Palmer has discredited his win claiming the armed services are conspiring .. to let him win. Suggesting he won't improve parliament, but he may make it more watchable.
The Pope has spoken sense, but his angry critics claim it is proof he endorses them. How would Islamics behave if their senior member said the same as Francis? I note one Islamist recently plotted to kill Prince Harry. What would Climate warming believers do if their scientists revealed the truth? We may never know.

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.
=== from 2017 ===
Don't give up on hope. As Victoria's ALP gears to campaign on experience, another of their members has declared they won't run next year in election. A token female in a safe ALP seat with a 14% swing needed to take it, she has taken her constituents for granted and leaves before having to face their anger on government failures. She will have contributed to euthanasia without practicing it. She can expect a generous pension. But Victorians face rising crime, falling employment, higher power prices, a gender war in schools, a crumbling public transport system with unworkable skysail plans and a collapsing business base. But also she leaves Victorians with hope that ALP won't be reelected.
Tony Abbott assaulted in Tasmania by a SSM activist. The man was wearing a Yes badge and walked up to the former PM saying "Can I shake your hand?" The coward then head butted Tony Abbott and said he deserved it before walking away. Abbott did not fight back, as Andrew Bolt did previously. When Bolt did that, the abusers tried to have Bolt charged with violence. AFL backflips over SSM. AFL had changed their initials with a public poster to say "Yes." Only, some 40% of AFL supporters don't feel that way. And although one might support SSM as a concept, the campaign is a turn off for decent people. SSM suicides? According to one strident supporter of the "Yes" campaign, only a "yes" vote will stop 300 suicides a year from youth. But I'm sure, if the statistics are examined, there would not be 10 suicides ever of a school child over SSM. It is just like the Stolen Generation campaign.
Billions lost from AGW waste. And the loss is ongoing. World wide it was some $2.5 trillion a year under Obama. Trump is reeling back the waste. The money is gone forever. It does not contribute to anything worthwhile. It is a lost business opportunity that hits the world's poorest the hardest. Still, the waste is expected to reach over $100 trillion before 2100, and it will not have an effect on world temperature. One day, there will be a reckoning for the hoax.

Turnbull reveals aspirations for good government. Like 20 minutes travel time maximum to daily services, such as shopping, education and work. He has even placed a lowly minister on the task. Malcolm Farr likes it and has the Daily Telegraph wrote a glowing article about it whereas Farr would have spurned it from Abbott. Hockey is blasted for possibly accepting an ambassadorial role. Hockey had been an effective treasurer but he was burned for being in Turnbull's way. The criticism of Hockey was meaningless, denouncing him as being cigar smoking, heartless and thoughtless. "He doesn't think poor people drive cars." It will be interesting to see if a change in rhetoric improves Liberal fortunes.

Congratulation John Key on your comprehensive win in the NZ Election yesterday. Your previous two terms have demonstrated excellent stewardship and for the first time since the early '90s NZ has now a majority government. You do not need to be reminded, but in opposition, the left wing will lie about everything and paint anything you do as abuse of power. Don't let that stop you from governing well. In Australia, Abbott does not have a majority in the Senate, and so Clive Palmer has the balance of power. Clive opposes responsible budget cuts. Meanwhile, Gillard had had minority government. Gillard admits to dishonesty with the public and so she has rewarded Rudd, but he hadn't deserved the reward, but if she hadn't rewarded him, she would have needed to openly and honestly spoken to the Australian peoples, and she would never do that. Mr Key, Congratulations and use your sacred trust well.
Leftwing and the path of evil are entwined. The '60s anti authoritarian youth rebellion culture and peace movement. Well intended in the case of individuals, but exploited by evil. The Soviet KGB in the Cold War manipulated the peace movement to oppose US missions for freedom and democracy. In that time, and earlier, during the Great Game, the lie was spread permitting Jihad in Islam to pursue politics through terror. There is a history of fighting within Islam between Islamic peoples that allows atrocity. The connection with the left is from the sixties peace movement. It was LBJ that showed many young girls that war was cool. But now the West faces terror and she needs to know how to defeat this millennia old machine. The truth is, to defeat terror, ultimately we must be true to ourselves. But for Islam to separate themselves from terror, they need their gutless, impotent leaders to become competent. The mainstream media have not helped anyone, even themselves, in their excusing terror in the name of Islam. Australian Soldiers risk being targeted by terrorists for wearing their uniform at home. Obama promises to fight IS ineffectively by not using good people on the ground. One Liberal Party member Laundy opposes a free vote on gay marriage when previously he supported it. His rationale for his backflip involves an Islamic presence in his electorate. Meanwhile, terrorists in prison have privileges other prisoners don't get.
AGW hysterics are global, and fewer than might be otherwise, owing to their extensive use of flight carbon. Climate Change, the musical, is over. It was the worst AGW hype fest failure since the ill omened '07 Cool Aid inspired by Jim Jones.

Germany is nearing election where the conservative leader is likely to win. Greens made a tactical mistake early pushing to legalise pedophilia. The only way the press can even the score is to make out another conservative government will have a policy of pepper spraying fare evaders. News come of the possibility of an accident nuking North Carolina early in JFK's reign. Too late to expect Jacky or Bobby to answer for their incompetence, but I'm uncomfortable with the justice they received. Apparently the safety measures put in place by Eisenhower worked, but that Republican President is dead so there is no need to thank him.
In modern times, a dithering Obama has peacefully created a world where moderate Iranians make Iraqis execute former Saddam supporters. No news of Obama asking to hit Iran as he wanted to hit Syria.

Arnold repeatedly claimed that he was passed over for promotion by the Continental Congress, while other officers obtained credit for some of his accomplishments. Others in his military and political circles brought charges against him of corruption or other malfeasance, but most often he was acquitted in formal inquiries. Congress investigated his accounts, however, and concluded that he was indebted to Congress, and he borrowed heavily to maintain a lavish lifestyle.
Arnold mingled with Loyalist sympathizers in Philadelphia and married into one such family by wedding Peggy Shippen. She was a close friend of British major John André and kept in contact with him when he became head of the British espionage system in New York. Many historians point to her as facilitating Arnold's plans to switch sides; he opened secret negotiations with André, and Peggy relayed the messages. The British promised £20,000 for the capture of West Point, a major American stronghold; Washington greatly admired Arnold and gave him command of that fort in July 1780. His scheme was to surrender the fort to the British, but it was exposed in September 1780 when Patriot militia captured André carrying papers which revealed the plot. Arnold escaped; André was hanged.
