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.
Therefore, since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.
Paul’s Joy Over the Church’s Repentance
Make room for us in your hearts. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have exploited no one. I do not say this to condemn you; I have said before that you have such a place in our hearts that we would live or die with you. I have spoken to you with great frankness; I take great pride in you. I am greatly encouraged; in all our troubles my joy knows no bounds.
For when we came into Macedonia, we had no rest, but we were harassed at every turn—conflicts on the outside, fears within. But God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the coming of Titus, and not only by his coming but also by the comfort you had given him. He told us about your longing for me, your deep sorrow, your ardent concern for me, so that my joy was greater than ever.
Even if I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it. Though I did regret it—I see that my letter hurt you, but only for a little while— yet now I am happy, not because you were made sorry, but because your sorrow led you to repentance. For you became sorrowful as God intended and so were not harmed in any way by us. Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death. See what this godly sorrow has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what concern, what readiness to see justice done. At every point you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter. So even though I wrote to you, it was neither on account of the one who did the wrong nor on account of the injured party, but rather that before God you could see for yourselves how devoted to us you are. By all this we are encouraged.
In addition to our own encouragement, we were especially delighted to see how happy Titus was, because his spirit has been refreshed by all of you. I had boasted to him about you, and you have not embarrassed me. But just as everything we said to you was true, so our boasting about you to Titus has proved to be true as well. And his affection for you is all the greater when he remembers that you were all obedient, receiving him with fear and trembling. I am glad I can have complete confidence in you.

A new book's claim that Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley acted after Jan. 6 to rein in then-President Trump's powers are a smokescreen intended to shift focus from the current administration's failures in Afghanistan. So said Trump in a Tuesday night interview with Newsmax host Sean Spicer. [Full Story]

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 ===
Some things should not happen, but they do. A bridge has been built allowing direct access from the housing estate I reside in Dandenong to a Mosque. residential traffic has increased ten fold. I was walking to the local railway station and was passing this throughway when I spotted a scared looking guy, ethnically middle eastern, driving a scooby mobile. He spotted me, and slowed. I was waiting for him to pass, because I hate standing or walking in front of cars. Their rears don't hit you if they are moving forward. And he kept slowing, until he crawled past. I was thoroughly irritated, and stepped behind his vehicle as he went past. I hadn't seen the car behind him, with a driver waiting impatiently to get past the scooby mobile. Had the second driver not been driving defensively, I'd probably be dead. All because I was irritated by a driver trying to be considerate and failing. I had no right of way.
It was raining, so the trains weren't running on time. Then the bus from Springvale to Glen Waverly got caught in traffic and was filled to standing capacity. A guy at the back, in high visibility gear, was calling out to ethnically Asian students, telling them where to stand so the bus could stack passengers optimally. He was taking up two chairs and drinking Crown Lager cans from a four pack he emptied before alighting near Lennox Catholic school for girls. I should have taken video of his activity, but didn't. He could have been a shop steward for the Transport Worker's Union. I am sure he likes Dan Andrews Facebook Page.
It is enlightening to compare landmarks. Two years of Tony Abbott compare brilliantly to the dithering and incompetent Malcolm Turnbull. Eight Months of Trump compare brilliantly with the first eight months of Obama, but Trump hasn't been given a Nobel Peace Prize. I'm pretty sure that whomever is given the Nobel Prize this year, will not spend the next year in jail while Trump wines and dines the jailers. Obama did that.

Dams are flood mitigating.
It was horrible and predictable. An ice addict was booted from a share house, and he blamed a fellow tenant (me) who had nothing to do with it. Police were called after he threatened my life. But they were toothless. He assaulted my door while drunk on Saturday of a long weekend (Easter) and emergency were called at 10Pm. and 11:30PM, and 1AM, and 3AM. When the police arrived at 4:30 am my door was broken and my possessions unsecured and I was thoroughly terrorised. They asked me "Why did you keep calling emergency when we hadn't shown and he hadn't killed you in the first hour?"After the damage he had done, they could not protect me, or evict him, and so I was required to take what I could and go to emergency accommodation. Meanwhile, the Ice addict went berserk dismantling the house until SWAT took him into custody on the Tuesday. When I finally got to see the court the following week, he had not killed me, but he had damaged my few remaining possessions. And it turned out the landlord was not insured. And the court insisted on temporary mediation. And the landlord took half my bond because he could not access the ice addict's bond.
Niki reminds me of the Iraqi defence spokesperson who claimed Bush was losing the second Iraq war. She cannot be paid enough for this trashing of her own reputation.
I have no problem with Hanson speaking. But she isn't helpful in addressing the issues. But neither is the ALP or Greens.
Australian Jewish leaders who support 18c have failed in their duty to their own people and family. It is as if they had tried to convert their own family to another religion, to multiculturalism, in place of their faith.
Freedom of speech is important. I thought Neville Wran should have been jailed for corruption. I had no problem with what he said. I didn't agree with him much. I objected to what he did. Under Wran, it was like druggies and killers got leniency. It didn't begin or end with nifty.
I criticised her speech years ago. I still do so. But her concerns have validity. I wish she would talk with more precision. There are good people that are targeted by her mistakes. However, there are good people targeted by Greens mistakes too. And NXT are planning to be obstructive in senate. The dog's breakfast is entirely down to Turnbull's hubris.
Was the perpetrator a 'child' Dan Andrews previously released? Was it Wran?
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.
It was horrible and predictable. An ice addict was booted from a share house, and he blamed a fellow tenant (me) who had nothing to do with it. Police were called after he threatened my life. But they were toothless. He assaulted my door while drunk on Saturday of a long weekend (Easter) and emergency were called at 10Pm. and 11:30PM, and 1AM, and 3AM. When the police arrived at 4:30 am my door was broken and my possessions unsecured and I was thoroughly terrorised. They asked me "Why did you keep calling emergency when we hadn't shown and he hadn't killed you in the first hour?"After the damage he had done, they could not protect me, or evict him, and so I was required to take what I could and go to emergency accommodation.

None for 2015 .. because of Melbourne promotional trip
From 2014
Food and fellowship at Islamic and Australian community BBQ and a headline and glowing article desperately call for hope. But hope is frequently dashed by pathetic Islamic leadership which undermines attempts to create a historical state where Jews, Christians and Muslims worked together in favour of a state where terrorists rule. By the bye, secular rule is the compromise medieval christians embraced, while the Ottoman's system was dismantled by young Turks who embarked on genocide from the mid nineteenth century through to the early twentieth century. There had been an Islamic kingdom that had had enlightened rule in which brilliant jewish or christian peoples prospered and the basic principles of such a state in modern time underpin nations like Australia, Israel and others, but demonstrably excludes every nation that claims to be Islamic. There are many examples when christians failed in the secular rule. Meanwhile Senator McCain has been howled at for suggesting that arming some vetted rebels in Syria would be a way forward. There is no worthwhile alternative that has been put forward. Obama has dithered for more than a year, and doing nothing has failed the region.
The US President has a role speaking for the US peoples, not lying about them. Dr Ben Carsons "I know the President has said we are not a judeo-christian nation. But, guess what? He doesn't get to decide that, we get to decide that." The issue is confusing for some confused about the role of religion in a secular state. An administration may have every member who is religiously devout in some way, but secular means that they follow the constitution in addressing the needs of their people. It was said once that President George W Bush had prayer before making important policy decisions. That is ok, because the policy decisions could be defended on secular grounds and in many ways prayer is related to thought, in fact atheists might not observe a difference. Bad policy can't be defended on secular grounds. It is outrageous when some arrogant declares that God endorses some act of secular policy, as when the Uniting and Anglican churches in Australia spoke out in favour of medical cannabis or saying 'sorry.' The arguments are not clear. Similarly on abortion. There is a conscience issue the individual makes, not the state. But the US has a constitution based on principles of fairness that were established by peoples who were chosen and trained by God. Truths that are self evident. That all are created equal (US Constitution is different to the Australian one in referring to rights as the Australian document instead solely refers to the operation of the states in federation). Meanwhile, Australia is approaching a referendum that could divide her on race .. apartheid always fails. A state might kill a person for any number of secular reasons. Religions should not make that decision.
In choosing a President who fails in their duty, who would vote for Hilary? It is certain that some day a woman will be President of the United States. It would be good if that woman embodied many ideals that made the US great. Many women do. Hilary does not. The doormat which convinced the US that her husbands philandering ways would not interfere with his office and then excused the behaviour when he did is not a good person. The Secretary of State that failed in Benghazi while Obama was dancing with Beyonce is not fit to be commander in chief. But Australian journalist Clementine Ford doesn't worry about quality when gender ticks all her boxes. Tim Blair has his way with those who are blind to reason. Certainly Hilary is one guaranteed to fail in her duty.
Cartoonist Larry Pickering is a long time ALP supporter and he feels betrayed at the way the ALP have drifted policy wise to the hard left. He has an article coming out soon regarding the victim of Shorten's rape allegation. Shorten has to deal with five particularly weak ALP members who endorse jihadis. Thing is, the ALP are so weak in so many ways regardless. It isn't as if they are planning to go to the middle east in support of jihadis, but clearly they feel they can be a point of difference with sensible border protection laws. There is an orchestrated attack on conservative government by media and ALP and it makes strange bedfellows. Church leadership endorsing medical cannabis is less related to belief or God than the fact that the government of WA is conservative. Similarly the ABC has raised an extraordinary unfair allegation of war crimes based on no evidence. It seems as if the producers are lying about how the allegation came to be made.
Record ice in antarctica points to an old lie by AGW hysterics. Liuzho Chen at age 19 is admitted to legal practice in Victoria. She studied at Bond University, having begun schooling early in China and arriving at Australia as a young teen. She still has a lot to learn about the compromise that exists in legal practice, but everyone should applaud her achievements. A Dutch girl faked a trip to Asia from Face Book as a university assignment. Well done.The truth is FB is a tool, not a life. A goat is accused of robbery in Nigeria. Superstitious villagers claim the goat is actually a sorcerer who stole items and turned themselves into a goat. One effective disproof is to make a goat curry and see if it is delicious. Meanwhile a headline refers to an ancient computer being found. The headline is very misleading. In fact the item was a very useful item for looking at stars and measuring time. It will be fascinating learning how it worked.

From 2013
The left have strange ideas about success. Obama has found more dithering over Syria, by putting off a resolution until halfway through next year. UN like that delay. Syrian victims of violence might not feel it is acceptable, but you can't please everyone. In Australia, the PM elect has elected to stay in barracks with his security detail while the PM's ACT residence is being maintained. Deputy Liberal Leader Julie Bishop has cancelled first class airfares in favour of business class flights on ministerial journeys. Rudd hasn't said that he would resign yet, but his heart doesn't seem to be in it with the perks gone. Antony Lowenstein despairs that the GFC did not deliver enough pain to keep his people in office. Gillard recognises that the Copenhagen junket hurt the AGW lobby, but hasn't yet worked out how.
People said the Australian economy was being destroyed by the left. In fact, it was being badly damaged. Good policy can address it, but the lost opportunity for all of Australia is difficult to accurately describe .. a Bradfield scheme could have been funded several times over permanently lowering the temperature on very hot days and watering the central Australian desert with fresh water. But instead we have corruption issues we have to negotiate. The federal pedophile investigation began in NSW, without the inquiry looking into Education at this time .. what has schooling to do with young people?

Today's Old Testament reading: Proverbs 19-21
1 Better the poor whose walk is blameless
than a fool whose lips are perverse.
than a fool whose lips are perverse.
2 Desire without knowledge is not good—
how much more will hasty feet miss the way!
how much more will hasty feet miss the way!
3 A person’s own folly leads to their ruin,
yet their heart rages against the LORD.
yet their heart rages against the LORD.
4 Wealth attracts many friends,
but even the closest friend of the poor person deserts them.
but even the closest friend of the poor person deserts them.
5 A false witness will not go unpunished,
and whoever pours out lies will not go free.
and whoever pours out lies will not go free.
6 Many curry favor with a ruler,
and everyone is the friend of one who gives gifts....
and everyone is the friend of one who gives gifts....
Today's New Testament reading: 2 Corinthians 7
1 Therefore, since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.
Paul’s Joy Over the Church’s Repentance
2 Make room for us in your hearts. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have exploited no one. 3 I do not say this to condemn you; I have said before that you have such a place in our hearts that we would live or die with you. 4 I have spoken to you with great frankness; I take great pride in you. I am greatly encouraged; in all our troubles my joy knows no bounds.
5 For when we came into Macedonia, we had no rest, but we were harassed at every turn—conflicts on the outside, fears within. 6 But God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the coming of Titus, 7 and not only by his coming but also by the comfort you had given him. He told us about your longing for me, your deep sorrow, your ardent concern for me, so that my joy was greater than ever....

Morning
Jesus was the Lord High Admiral of the sea that night, and his presence preserved the whole convoy. It is well to sail with Jesus, even though it be in a little ship. When we sail in Christ's company, we may not make sure of fair weather, for great storms may toss the vessel which carries the Lord himself, and we must not expect to find the sea less boisterous around our little boat. If we go with Jesus we must be content to fare as he fares; and when the waves are rough to him, they will be rough to us. It is by tempest and tossing that we shall come to land, as he did before us.
When the storm swept over Galilee's dark lake all faces gathered blackness, and all hearts dreaded shipwreck. When all creature help was useless, the slumbering Saviour arose, and with a word, transformed the riot of the tempest into the deep quiet of a calm; then were the little vessels at rest as well as that which carried the Lord. Jesus is the star of the sea; and though there be sorrow upon the sea, when Jesus is on it there is joy too. May our hearts make Jesus their anchor, their rudder, their lighthouse, their life-boat, and their harbour. His Church is the Admiral's flagship, let us attend her movements, and cheer her officers with our presence. He himself is the great attraction; let us follow ever in his wake, mark his signals, steer by his chart, and never fear while he is within hail. Not one ship in the convoy shall suffer wreck; the great Commodore will steer every barque in safety to the desired haven. By faith we will slip our cable for another day's cruise, and sail forth with Jesus into a sea of tribulation. Winds and waves will not spare us, but they all obey him; and, therefore, whatever squalls may occur without, faith shall feel a blessed calm within. He is ever in the centre of the weather-beaten company: let us rejoice in him. His vessel has reached the haven, and so shall ours.
Evening
"I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin."
Psalm 32:5
Psalm 32:5
David's grief for sin was bitter. Its effects were visible upon his outward frame: "his bones waxed old"; "his moisture was turned into the drought of summer." No remedy could he find, until he made a full confession before the throne of the heavenly grace. He tells us that for a time he kept silence, and his heart became more and more filled with grief: like a mountain tarn whose outlet is blocked up, his soul was swollen with torrents of sorrow. He fashioned excuses; he endeavoured to divert his thoughts, but it was all to no purpose; like a festering sore his anguish gathered, and as he would not use the lancet of confession, his spirit was full of torment, and knew no rest. At last it came to this, that he must return unto his God in humble penitence, or die outright; so he hastened to the mercy-seat, and there unrolled the volume of his iniquities before the all-seeing One, acknowledging all the evil of his ways in language such as you read in the fifty-first and other penitential Psalms. Having done this, a work so simple and yet so difficult to pride, he received at once the token of divine forgiveness; the bones which had been broken were made to rejoice, and he came forth from his closet to sing the blessedness of the man whose transgression is forgiven. See the value of a grace-wrought confession of sin! It is to be prized above all price, for in every case where there is a genuine, gracious confession, mercy is freely given, not because the repentance and confession deserve mercy, but for Christ's sake. Blessed be God, there is always healing for the broken heart; the fountain is ever flowing to cleanse us from our sins. Truly, O Lord, thou art a God "ready to pardon!" Therefore will we acknowledge our iniquities.

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)
