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.
Paul’s Defense of His Ministry
By the humility and gentleness of Christ, I appeal to you—I, Paul, who am “timid” when face to face with you, but “bold” toward you when away! I beg you that when I come I may not have to be as bold as I expect to be toward some people who think that we live by the standards of this world. For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete.
You are judging by appearances. If anyone is confident that they belong to Christ, they should consider again that we belong to Christ just as much as they do. So even if I boast somewhat freely about the authority the Lord gave us for building you up rather than tearing you down, I will not be ashamed of it. I do not want to seem to be trying to frighten you with my letters. For some say, “His letters are weighty and forceful, but in person he is unimpressive and his speaking amounts to nothing.” Such people should realize that what we are in our letters when we are absent, we will be in our actions when we are present.
We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise. We, however, will not boast beyond proper limits, but will confine our boasting to the sphere of service God himself has assigned to us, a sphere that also includes you. We are not going too far in our boasting, as would be the case if we had not come to you, for we did get as far as you with the gospel of Christ. Neither do we go beyond our limits by boasting of work done by others. Our hope is that, as your faith continues to grow, our sphere of activity among you will greatly expand, so that we can preach the gospel in the regions beyond you. For we do not want to boast about work already done in someone else’s territory. But, “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.” For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.

"Beyond the Sea" is a 1946 contemporary pop song with music taken from the song "La Mer" by Charles Trenet and lyrics by Jack Lawrence. Trenet had composed "La Mer" (which means "The Sea") with French lyrics totally different and unrelated to the English language version that Lawrence composed. Trenet's French version was an homage and ode to the changing moods of the sea, while Lawrence, by just adding one word "Beyond" to the title, gave him the start whereby he made the song into one of a lover pining for a lost love.[1] It has been recorded by many artists, including Benny Goodman, Mantovani, Roger Williams and Gisele MacKenzie, but Bobby Darin's version released in 1959 is the best known by many, reaching #6 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song reached the top 40 twice prior to the Darin version (Goodman-1948, Williams-1955). https://www.youtube.com/redirect?redir_token=cK8rXGr5kn-CofkfTzoLuzDZJQZ8MTUwNTgwNjM0MEAxNTA1NzE5OTQw&q=http%3A%2F%2Fconservativeweasel.blogspot.com%2F2011%2F11%2Fla-mere-somewhere-beyond-sea.html&event=desc

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.

Don't give up on hope. Sean Spicer was terribly maligned by the press. He was the press secretary who in response to a lie about Obama having a bigger inauguration crowd, made the counter claim that Trump's was bigger and was called a liar. Later, while reporting on Trump's strike on Syria after chemical weapons were deployed against civilians, Spicer stumbled raising the holocaust. It wasn't necessary to raise the holocaust, but the issue was raised and Spicer couldn't defend it. Democrats have an ugly history regarding the holocaust and slavery. Today, Democrats exploit Jews and blacks. But Democrats would never be beaten up for their actions. As a conservative student, Spicer was called a Sphincter by a University magazine. Wikipedia apparently take sides, unnecessarily reporting the comment and criticising Spicer for taking appropriate action. Today, Spicer appeared at the Emmy's. He was self deprecating. But because it was apparently a hit against Trump, Spicer is rehabilitated.
Victoria now has the highest unemployment rate in the nation. Dan Andrews has not achieved that effortlessly, he has worked tirelessly to achieve it. Almost every decision Andrews makes seems to be geared to that end. Thank you Dan.
Donald Trump gives a speech on pulling out of the Paris agreement. Press get confused. If Trump is willing to work with Democrats, does that mean he will rejoin Paris? It is not confusing if you read the speech. But apparently press don't need to read things in order to criticise Trump. JF observes "Kim Jong Un has killed and starved his people, developed nuclear weapons, fired them over Japan. But Donald Trump sent a mocking tweet over the Internet.
Fascism has come to America" Just don't mention the holocaust.

I distrust United Conservative Party. I am concerned at some of their catch phrases that strike me as being over bearing, social conservatives or left wing regulation happy. A political party should not be advocating self defence. Australia is not subservient to anyone, but our leaders seem to like giving money to foreign powers for kickbacks, so rather than claiming we won't be subservient, we need transparency and anti corruption measures. Stay out of my family and I'll let you live. Fuck your integration, I'll live free. Respect religion by not promoting terrorism.
Clever blaming Morrison as well as Turnbull. Turnbull has too much control and treasury too little. I doubt Morrison has been free to produce effective policy. It seems, to me, that this 'deal' is entirely about replacing the diesel submarines with nuclear power ones. That is the only thing that makes sense. But the public is not ready for that.
Breaking the cycle of poverty is not done by transplanting the poor. It is done by growing domestic markets and letting capitalism work.
I feel the left wing have censored thought for so long, they are suffering angst over not being original. Take that cultural appropriation and shove it up your bum.
I've not read that book. It is difficult to oversell criticism. It is hard to accurately portray praise. But the reality is the attempt was spin, and that was achieved. Malcolm Turnbull's success is related to his friendship with ALP figures like Neville Wran.
I gave up on the Left a long time ago. I don't care if they live or die. I will point the way up and if their members choose to make good choices I'll help. But I greatly resent their promotion of terrorism and poverty so as to fuel their corruption. The left's arguments tend to be hollow and their attacks on cultural assets effective. The left tend to use Alynski methods to successfully create wastelands. I will have none of it.
I guess Bill shouldn't have blamed NYC police that time they were doing their job. The thin blue line stands between gutless politicians and those looking for cheap thrills.

Scott Morrison's loyalty is being questioned. Some say he should have saved Mr Abbott. Mr Morrison served Mr Abbott loyally and had no reason to throw himself under a bus at the last moment. What happened to Mr Abbott was wrong and cruel, but not Mr Morrison's fault. Even had he done as others think he should have, Mr Morrison could not have saved Mr Abbott. Because Mr Abbott had been an outstanding, good PM. Unlike Rudd, Abbott had many achievements he could point to, from international kudos for leadership over MH17 and MH360, through international security in solving illegal migration for Australia, or cutting some $50 billion of spending despite entrenched opposition among independents. More remarkably, Abbott achieved it despite internal party opposition. Malcolm Turnbull has become PM by promising to fix problems he created. And that is not Mr Morrison's fault.

Terrorism is not about religion. It isn't that the terrorists are, or are not, religious, Islamic leadership is impotent in the face of terror and confused, as they are too close. Literally. The suburbs threatened in the dawn raids by police which rounded up members of possible terror cells had burqa clad women and are close to where the Islamic Leaders live and preach hate. Naturally the ABC raised the issue of police brutality. The plans of those rounded up included one to collect a random person from the streets, film their beheading and the headless corpse being dragged in the ISIS flag. Luckily our hope is not resting on the impotent and confused Islamic leadership. Only last week, that leadership was claiming Abbott was over reaching in lifting the terror threat alert or extending metadata collection. They should collectively applaud Mr Abbott from saving them from the community backlash should the atrocity have taken place. Turkey is Islamic and Turkish women don't usually wear the burqa. There is good reason for it. It dates back to Ataturk passing a law that made it illegal for prostitutes to work from any other clothing. Maybe the leadership will discourage the practice here?
The labour union movement is facing broad charges of corruption. The CFMEU (construction, forestry, mining and energy union) has been alleged to have employed stand over tactics in building sites. This is related to former PM Gillard weakening laws which protected workers from rapacious exploitation by slush fund creating unions. The union has denied the allegations, but sadly, because Gillard weakened the laws, it is hard for them to prove they aren't corrupt. It is the misfortune of the unions that the ALP is too closely aligned with them to be of any help. The ALP leader, Shorten, has to answer questions of misappropriation of union funds and the creation and abuse of slush funds.
Clive Palmer loses another court battle he had claimed he won. He appears increasingly desperate but never competent. ABC continues flogging AGW hysteria, claiming that water rising around Australia will cost billions of dollars. ABC Board member Stanley appears blind to accusations of bias. A female who beat up a pensioner on a bus has failed to apologise but has been given a suspended sentence. An execution in Texas of a despicable woman who tortured a child to death.
LBJ declared a war on poverty in 1964, creating programs such as Head Start, Food Stamps, Work Study, Medicare and Medicaid. Today, in 2014 terms, the spending has reached $22 trillion, which is three times more than spent on military in all wars since the US Revolution. The goal is worthy, but the means is a failure. It has become a political whipping post. Both 'sides' or politics are wilfully blind that they are shovelling money into programs designed to keep people poor, and favouring one side of politics. Poor people have needs, and the complex bureaucracies which 'oversee the poor' are lousy at addressing those needs. The US is not serving her people by going bankrupt trying. Greater use needs to be made of charity and philanthropy in effective programs, and government is not good at doing that. One tragic example of feel good over reach involves the failure of the hashtag bringbackourgirls to bring back the victims of Boko Haram's kidnapping of two hundred school girls earmarked for sexual slavery and genital mutilation. Thank you Michelle for your good intentions. Maybe Barak will divert the soldiers designated to combat ebola to save those girls?

They say responsibility is heavy, and so leaders go grey in office. Obama shows craven cowards do too. Scotland is voting on an issue of independence, but it isn't a vote for freedom. There is nothing that Scotland as independent will get that it does not have now, within a UK democracy. If the Yes case wins, then the conservative leader Cameron is in trouble even though none of this is his fault. Grossly irresponsible people have promised many things if there is a yes vote, but not conservatives. Australia is being promised a similar poll on a non issue, with plans to institutionalise apartheid within the constitution. Having failed to protect the poorest of Australia, some bright sparks think that redefining race within the constitution will address the issue. It didn't work in South Africa either.
Nova Peris belongs to the ALP in many ways. She has no idea about appropriate behaviour. At a children's athletics meet Nova abused officials so as to seek an advantage for her son. Like other ALP plans, it didn't work. It highlights the failings of the leader Shorten to stamp any authority on those he leads. Shorten says he supports Mr Abbott's actions in the Middle East, but then back benchers stand up and say they don't. Shorten fails to implement policy. He addressed workers with a pathetic, protectionist speech which did nothing to provide Australia with the certainty she needed over submarines. A bugbear for Shorten is his support of a murderously bad policy on migration by people smugglers. But in his defence the ABC is confused too. They seem to say it is good to drown poor people if pirates prosper from it.

A man with a mental illness, who supported Obama, who had been trained in the military used an assault rifle, CNN called a shotgun, to kill 12 people in 30 minutes in Washington DC at a naval yard. For their safety, none of the sane employees were armed. Clearly this is going to inflame the gun issue. Democrats like Obama like that, as they are the goto people for gun control. But while kudos are often given to the Democrats for gun control, Democrat states seem to have the most difficulties. It is as if the Democrats like the issue to stay alive at the expense of victims.
Meanwhile, in Australia, the new PM, Tony Abbott has been sworn in. He has axed three department heads who were too close to the last government, and a fourth has walked away. Much has been said of the few number of females in the new cabinet (Deputy Liberal Leader Bishop). And while it is true that neither of the last two ALP PM's were women, nor will either of the next two ALP aspirants be women, still it seems as if the ALP have their finger on an issue which will only grow in time. One expects that in fifty or sixty years, the male dominated Abbott Government will collapse. But probably not before then if the ALP can't find another issue.
The pedophile inquiry continues. Clearly inadequate sentences have been given to abusers. There is no death penalty in Australia, but sometimes one wonders if jail is used enough.
The Dutch King calls for people to rely less on welfare and more on provision. The Liberal party state governments have clearly been wounded by hostile ALP federal masters recently, with WA losing a AAA rating the big spending feds had been able to retain. In Victoria, weak conservative government has only recently stiffened, and its numbers are on a knife edge with a corruption issue threatening to cause it to implode. Ironically, the issue of misuse of a government car seems prima facie similar to former PM Gillard's suppressed issue .. but the press hadn't been interested in that ..

Paul’s Defense of His Ministry
1 By the humility and gentleness of Christ, I appeal to you—I, Paul, who am “timid” when face to face with you, but “bold” toward you when away! 2 I beg you that when I come I may not have to be as bold as I expect to be toward some people who think that we live by the standards of this world. 3 For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 6 And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete....
=== Morning and Evening ===

Morning
Despairingly the poor disappointed father turned away from the disciples to their Master. His son was in the worst possible condition, and all means had failed, but the miserable child was soon delivered from the evil one when the parent in faith obeyed the Lord Jesus' word, "Bring him unto me." Children are a precious gift from God, but much anxiety comes with them. They may be a great joy or a great bitterness to their parents; they may be filled with the Spirit of God, or possessed with the spirit of evil. In all cases, the Word of God gives us one receipt for the curing of all their ills, "Bring him unto me." O for more agonizing prayer on their behalf while they are yet babes! Sin is there, let our prayers begin to attack it. Our cries for our offspring should precede those cries which betoken their actual advent into a world of sin. In the days of their youth we shall see sad tokens of that dumb and deaf spirit which will neither pray aright, nor hear the voice of God in the soul, but Jesus still commands, "Bring them unto me." When they are grown up they may wallow in sin and foam with enmity against God; then when our hearts are breaking we should remember the great Physician's words, "Bring them unto me." Never must we cease to pray until they cease to breathe. No case is hopeless while Jesus lives.
The Lord sometimes suffers his people to be driven into a corner that they may experimentally know how necessary he is to them. Ungodly children, when they show us our own powerlessness against the depravity of their hearts, drive us to flee to the strong for strength, and this is a great blessing to us. Whatever our morning's need may be, let it like a strong current bear us to the ocean of divine love. Jesus can soon remove our sorrow, he delights to comfort us. Let us hasten to him while he waits to meet us.
Evening
God employs his people to encourage one another. He did not say to an angel, "Gabriel, my servant Joshua is about to lead my people into Canaan--go, encourage him." God never works needless miracles; if his purposes can be accomplished by ordinary means, he will not use miraculous agency. Gabriel would not have been half so well fitted for the work as Moses. A brother's sympathy is more precious than an angel's embassy. The angel, swift of wing, had better known the Master's bidding than the people's temper. An angel had never experienced the hardness of the road, nor seen the fiery serpents, nor had he led the stiff-necked multitude in the wilderness as Moses had done. We should be glad that God usually works for man by man. It forms a bond of brotherhood, and being mutually dependent on one another, we are fused more completely into one family. Brethren, take the text as God's message to you. Labour to help others, and especially strive to encourage them. Talk cheerily to the young and anxious enquirer, lovingly try to remove stumblingblocks out of his way. When you find a spark of grace in the heart, kneel down and blow it into a flame. Leave the young believer to discover the roughness of the road by degrees, but tell him of the strength which dwells in God, of the sureness of the promise, and of the charms of communion with Christ. Aim to comfort the sorrowful, and to animate the desponding. Speak a word in season to him that is weary, and encourage those who are fearful to go on their way with gladness. God encourages you by his promises; Christ encourages you as he points to the heaven he has won for you, and the spirit encourages you as he works in you to will and to do of his own will and pleasure. Imitate divine wisdom, and encourage others, according to the word of this evening.

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)
