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.

Mr Abbott has a gorgeous, ripped, daughter who supports SSM. And Mr Abbott is proud of her. Mr Abbott disagrees wth her views on SSM, but he is still a good dad. That is why the 'no' campaign is earning kudos while the SSM yes campaign is on the nose of many. Also on the nose is Samantha Maiden who sent an expletive laden text to the guy she was bagging. Journalists don't have high standards these days. In fact, if Maiden did not have low standards, it could be said she had no standards at all. Last year Maiden went to town when Minister Dutton sent her a text by accident, after complaining about her appalling behaviour in email.
Meanwhile Trump is tweeting NK into submission. And Un is falling for it.
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.

Don't give up on hope. An anarchist who gave Tony Abbott a Liverpool Kiss has been arrested and admitted much. The anarchist claimed his action was not motivated by SSM even as he justified it from SSM. The anarchist is apparently a liar and nothing he actually says can be taken at face value, except his motivation was political hatred. A political hatred sparked by Turnbull many years ago before unseating the former PM, Abbott. Turnbull, like the anarchist, now says such things should not happen. So the anarchist should never have hit Mr Abbott and Turnbull should never have introduced such violent discourse. But that is what each have done. Mr Abbott has a gorgeous, ripped, daughter who supports SSM. And Mr Abbott is proud of her. Mr Abbott disagrees wth her views on SSM, but he is still a good dad. That is why the 'no' campaign is earning kudos while the SSM yes campaign is on the nose of many. Also on the nose is Samantha Maiden who sent an expletive laden text to the guy she was bagging. Journalists don't have high standards these days. In fact, if Maiden did not have low standards, it could be said she had no standards at all.

Mr Abbott was right to use President Bush's mantra regarding the religion of peace, but Sydney has helicopters hovering since the terrorist raid and there are some in the Islamic community who do not feel peaceful. The reckless left are excusing terrorists, ABC asked the Attorney General if the new laws will mean that more would have been arrested and charged in the raid last week. The question is pernicious, as the AG could not answer about what the laws will be and will do before parliament sees them. And the senate is hostile. And then the media produce headlines which mislead and are counterproductive. Police did not execute raids with dogs. Neither were police brutal in the execution of their duty. Police have not targeted Islamic peoples, but those connected to terrorists. Prisoners riot in Australia, calling out Allahu Akbar, and the authorities are correct in saying it isn't religiously motivated. Islamic peoples would not commit crimes and be sent to jail. Neither would they behave in that outrageous way. Those calling out in prison are copying terrorist behaviours which might be empowering in the short term, but get a lot of people killed. Meanwhile the Greens Leader in Australia claims that Australia is following the US into an open ended war. They might be right. But the piece de resistance is Wendy Bacon likening Australia fighting in Iraq to Gallipoli, and ignoring other campaigns.
Left wing journalists thought long and deeply about the left crushing a win in NZ at election. But they were very wrong, and there is now no journalist narrative describing why the Conservatives won convincingly. It is called a stunning win. It certainly wasn't predicted. Just like ALP adviser and drunk Bob Ellis predicting Scotland would leave the union weeks before they didn't. ABC is accused of being over paid and inept. The accuser uses bad language and says he learned it from a 'dirty Aunty' which is funny because ABC is called 'Aunty' in Australia. ABC had an opportunity of carrying a series of interviews with Mr Howard. They decline. It had been an opportunity to demonstrate balance. They had carried an interview with former ALP PM Keating. Mr Howard's interview, carried by channel 7 also keen to not appear biased, spoke against the divisive abuses that followed his good administration, with ALP in office. Certainly Gillard's declaration that Mr Abbott was a misogynist was wide of the mark and did not resonate with average Australians, but was applauded by journalists. Gillard has admitted to some mistakes, like hiring Bob Carr, but not others.
Dividing people by race does not help things. Wealthy city folk who identify as being in a race of needy people because they get money and resources are diverting those resources from needy people who aren't in the cities. Journalist bias is not good for those who want to be informed by those journalists, and one example is the hyper critics of a responsible conservative couple being criticised for being on a study tour using budget travel, but ignoring ALP junketeers travelling first class before exiting parliament.
A substantial abuse of power is that byAGW hysteric scientists and their supporters. One t-shirt seen recently pits Gaia vs humanity. It is probably time for humanity to deal with that bird forever quips Tim Blair. Arctic Ice is not behaving as scientists claimed it would. They said it would melt and never appear again. Instead, it is getting bigger. Meanwhile one scientific advisor to Obama admits the science is not settled. Maybe it can be discussed, now?

The issue of spousal privilege is important. She has as much advantage lying as telling the truth and who would know? Bob Hawke probably lied too about drinking. Hinch probably can drink, but should not drink much. But Hinch was an alcoholic. We don't know the truth, but the issues are important. I want Hinch to live a long life.
Anti Muslim activism is not a serious problem in comparison to Islamo Fascist terrorism. But it isn't good either. Or helpful. It is an overreach. Good politicians won't do it. Many bad ones won't either. Hanson's dog whistle gets people excited. I am disgusted with the race commissioner for reaching for the wrong tools to deal with it. Howard's way was best. The actual solution to the problem, as Australia faces it, will involve good Muslim people smacking down those who defend Islamofascism. In Dandenong, I will approach Mosques to speak to Imams. I am not seeking votes or monetary support. I will approach them out of respect, and speak to them about important issues that will help their community prosper. Not at the expense of others, but tied to the advantageous diversity which all Australians are free to enjoy and exploit.
So many clever people trying to work out the popularity of the tone deaf. Hanson still does not get it. But neither do advocates for Islamic Fascism. There will be a solution to the problem of Islamic terrorism. It will be seen after it has been effective. It will involve Islamic peoples not tolerating those who bring Islam into disrepute. People like those fighting for Al Qaeda, ISIL, Boko Haram etc are bringing Islam into disrepute. And one day soon, Muslims will be lynched by people that are afraid of the terrorists.
I considered worse ten years ago, and do so today. A QLD twelve-year-old girl was raped by a foster brother and murdered by her foster family after getting pregnant. It has nothing to do with immigration. I want to see Islamic authorities stop defending honour killings, maiming and paedophilia. The safest place in the world for an Islamic person is Israel. We need to have dialog over secular issues. And arrest those who have a low standard.
Turnbull is too close to Obama and Clinton. A better politician would not compromise themselves that way.

The year 5776 is coming into being. And so it is time to forgive and move on. Some have pointed to my posts and claimed I was being unfair, putting MT in a no win position. With respect, that is not true. My posts merely describe what has happened. By undermining the Liberal Party for years, MT has earned criticism, even when he stops because he is now leader. He has not addressed the criticism that he has not got a policy answer to the issues he criticised Mr Abbott for. Mal Brough today walked into a policy no go zone by antagonising the cross benchers that the Libs need to pass legislation. Brough wondered out loud why reform of votes for the senate had not yet been attempted. He has now been told why. Happy New Year.
Some have said that Pauline Hanson is smart and admire her for standing up for things. Her politics was dumb and protectionist, which doesn't work. She stood up for people who had no idea how to effectively run a country. She had no business being in politics. Much like the sex party.
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.

He is hated by the left and despised, called an idiot. Yet the first policy initiated and followed by President GHW Bush regarding speaking of Islamic terrorists following 911 is followed today by every Western Leader. There is no connection between terrorism and Islam which is the religion of peace. There is good reason for the policy, Islamic peoples are not terrorists and those who call themselves terrorist are not Islamic, although they claim to be and leaders embrace them. The status is not five and a half billion people vs one and a half billion terrorists, but seven billion people versus few terrorists. There is a very cynical connection between the left and terrorists, not merely Islamo fascists, but also Irish Catholics and communist insurgents of the Cold War. In many ways, mainstream media have shepherded and protected terrorists, giving them faux reasons for their outrageous behaviour and exhorting them to greater atrocities. One prize idiot is former security analyst, now parliamentarian Andrew Wilkie. Wilkie does not have much support, he is based in Tasmania which is over represented in federal politics due to her small population. As a former security advisor he sounds knowledgeably hawkish, but the reality is he is green left peacenik. He feels that it was wrong to invade Iraq for regime change seeking WMD. And so Wilkie can say he believes former PM Howard is lucky to not be facing war crimes. Wilkie is wrong to excuse Saddam Hussein's depredations. Wilkie is also wrong to accuse Mr Howard who has only acted properly regarding his duty to order Australia's disposal of her armed forces. Mr Howard does not face any such charges because he did no wrong. Wilkie is a despicable coward who has no right to be in parliament if he cannot contain any foolish thought bubble he might get. President Bush faces around the clock security for the rest of his life because of lies told about him. Wilkie's throwaway lie could put Mr Howard into a similar situation. For the record, Syria has shown that Wilkie was wrong re WMD.

Obama's abysmal foreign policy of dithering and bomb dropping has resulted in a world where Al Qaeda, whom he claimed defeated prior to the last election as he blamed Benghazi on a coptic film maker he knew wasn't the cause, has not been defeated but may be resurgent. An Al Qaeda affiliate attack on a shopping mall in Kenya is a kind of circle, where Al Qaeda had blown up an embassy while Clinton was President. Kenyans are not especially anti Islamic, but that isn't a problem with terrorists. At least 30 people have died and over 200 injured. Australians know of the terrorist group, their affiliates planned a hit on Holsworthy army barracks a few years ago.
Obama's dithering and bombing isn't limited to world peace. An Israeli IDF soldier was murdered by a relative of a captured terrorist. Obamacare threatens the economy. A spoof is circulating that Obama had to be sedated. That last item has a crack force of Obama supporters working the internet correcting the meme, but it is so believable, although Biden as VP means it isn't desirable. Meanwhile in China a top party official has been sentenced to life for corruption ..
In Australia the ALP are trying to adjust to life out of government without recognising they lost an election. Two prospective leaders are campaigning on not changing policy or direction, as a form of renewal. Recycling apparently means never having to wash dishes, which may be why they are so keen to have women in politics. Julie Bishop is a very impressive woman, writes Miranda Devine, and the ALP lament there are not enough after they slammed Sophie Mirabella. Meanwhile NSW state ALP and love media are assaulting Pru Goward for being responsible when the previous ALP Minister hadn't been. Mud sticks, and the ABC and SMH are suffering with circulation. Another media beat up involved an Australian ALP government assault on a mixed Australian/Italian family. According to the ALP pollsters, denial works, 15 seats were saved by an inept PM who replaced an inept PM. It is a dangerous message for an ALP seeking to reform.
