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.

Australia moves towards an election federally. And the director of the Liberal Party infuriates me, asking me for money to support his AGW hucksterism that isn't as bad as the ALP one. It still is not good policy.
Today, 25th Sept 2021 I carry fake news
The fake news comes from a left wing site called "The Hill"
In the article on the Arizona draft Audit into 2020 election fraudulently given Biden, we are told there were no accidents and that a simple vote count shows Biden won. However, the simple vote count does not show that at all. It shows that the voter fraud was wilful and deliberate. It shows that the parties behind the fraud covered their tracks. Now for the parts of the audit that have been opposed. A check of signatures. The system data showing when and how votes were cast. That will take longer because the investigation has been impeded.
A 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.

From the Bible, Ephesians 5:1-16
Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient. Therefore do not be partners with them.
For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. This is why it is said:
“Wake up, sleeper,
rise from the dead,
and Christ will shine on you.”
Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.

Here is a video I made My funny valentine
"My Funny Valentine" is a show tune from the 1937 Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart musical Babes in Arms. After being recorded by Chet Baker, Frank Sinatra and Miles Davis, the song became a popular jazz standard, appearing on over 1300 albums performed by over 600 artists.

Don't give up on hope. America mourns as a lone wolf for unfathomable reasons has killed 59 people and injured over five hundred others. A retired accountant who liked to gamble. A son of a dangerous criminal whom had been on the US's Most wanted list for about a decade. He used his lover's ID to book a room, and had managed to get numerous assault rifles into the room, modified to be automatic. It took planning and knowledge outside of an accountant's purview. He had stealthily acquired the weapons cache. ISIS has claimed responsibility. No one reported he was a cross dresser or into boys, but ISIS disguise themselves at times, so it could be true, but does not seem likely.
Tom Petty has died, after allegedly giving an encore. He had been taken to hospital in cardiac arrest, reported dead, life support was turned off. He never regained consciousness. But news reports claimed earlier ones greatly exaggerated.
Brian Rocker I'm really confused David at what you're getting at? Who's targeting youth? And I don't understand what's wrong with Brother Tommy or myself or anyone else repenting for the sins of our fathers like Daniel did while in Babylon. I'm really confused at your post. Can you explain so we can understand the offense you feel? Thanks!
For some, failing to understand is a gift. When the Lord finally returns and tells his people of his love, Brian and Tommy might say 'huh?'

Bullies can't be appeased. They must be faced. Don't seek to find understanding or gratitude from a bully. If they think they are close to getting what they want, they can be persistent and mendacious. One needs to defeat bullies and let everyone see they are down. Hillary Clinton has cowed USA. The tradition of bumper stickers for Presidential candidates is not being seen as it has in previous elections. Trump stickers may get cars damaged by enraged HRC supporters who effortlessly respond to triggers. They learned to after watching terrorists they encouraged act. The "Run Hillary Run" sticker series was placed on front bumpers during her senate campaign, according to Tim Blair. "Hillary4Jail2016" can be seen too.

Australian Football League (AFL, Aussie Rules) had her grand final today. Hawthorn squared off against West Coast Eagles. The contest was very one sided. Had the Sydney Swans played better in the post season, not a lot better, but just with more focus and discipline, fewer imaginary spears thrown at the audience, they would have been humbled by Hawthorn. Last year, Swans only achieved Hawthorn's half time score by full time. West Coast bettered that this year. But not by enough to threaten the victors, 107-61.
A terrible killing in Parramatta, outside the police headquarters there, mirrors multiple slaying in the US earlier in the day. In the US, a young man from the UK, who identified as Muslim, who had failed basic training for the US army in '08, killed people at a community college, asking them if they were Christian and shooting them in the head if they said yes. In Australia, a fifteen year old boy who had migrated as a refugee, found a person leaving police headquarters for home, following the end of work. The boy had visited mosque on the way to walking up behind the civilian and shooting him in the head. Then the boy called out to Allah several times, faced the open door of the police headquarters and shot at people emerging from it. Police special officers, at great risk to themselves, shot the 15 year old dead. The victim of the execution, whom had been leaving work, was a seventeen year civilian accountant, married, father of two.
Clearly the intention of jihadis is to cause fear. They do so with precision, claiming as reason, excuses which inflame situations. But the excuses are not real. Not like the lives of the victims. But one would not know that, were they to hear Obama or Turnbull speak on the issue. According to Obama, prayer has failed and now alternatives must be sought. According to Turnbull, the Islamic community needs to be consulted. Except the Islamic community claims not to be the problem and prayer is not the issue. There is a disconnect with bad leaders pointing to simple answers that don't address the issues. The truth is the civilian tax accountant working for the police was killed randomly so as to threaten every sensible person. His death brings Islam into disrepute and is a powerful curse on all who approve it. But Obama and Turnbull are moving to exploit the tragedy, but giving credit to terrorists in doing so, by claiming their cause had more merit than the lives they took. They should try prayer.
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.

The victim of the execution, whom had been leaving work, was a seventeen year civilian accountant, married, father of two.
Clearly the intention of jihadis is to cause fear. They do so with precision, claiming as reason, excuses which inflame situations. But the excuses are not real. Not like the lives of the victims. But one would not know that, were they to hear Obama or Turnbull speak on the issue. According to Obama, prayer has failed and now alternatives must be sought. According to Turnbull, the Islamic community needs to be consulted. Except the Islamic community claims not to be the problem and prayer is not the issue. There is a disconnect with bad leaders pointing to simple answers that don't address the issues. The truth is the civilian tax accountant working for the police was killed randomly so as to threaten every sensible person. His death brings Islam into disrepute and is a powerful curse on all who approve it. But Obama and Turnbull are moving to exploit the tragedy, but giving credit to terrorists in doing so, by claiming their cause had more merit than the lives they took. They should try prayer.
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.
From 2014
Particular issue
Australia has declared war on ISIL after the PM convened a meeting of Australia's security council and obtained authority to use aircraft, bombs and special forces in Iraq. It is said the first casualty of war is truth, and immediately the ALP claimed to support the effort, and Greens opposed it. There is nothing wrong with either sentiment, except neither ALP nor Greens are honest about their representation of what war means. Greens are claiming there is no assurance that civilians won't be casualties and ALP are littered with members who are Green. ALP have created a machinery by which words are restricted in Australia.
Words are the medium by which ideas are spread. They are restricted only by those who threaten free democracy. ALP have provided 18c which has operated to limit criticism, but not outrageous racist attacks. So that Jews have been targeted for vitriol and abuse and none have been prosecuted, but Andrew Bolt has been convicted of a technicality. Liberal Dean Smith is right to promote free speech by suggesting the alteration or repeal of the act. No ALP member of parliament has. Mr Abbott had shelved the change because ALP and Greens oppose change.
The guardians of 18c is the Human Rights Council of Australia which have transgressed a number of times on substantial issues. Sarah Hanson-Young has spread lies claiming sexual exploitation of boat children. She has not apologised for it or retracted it. Neither has the head of the HRC Gillian Triggs for her lies regarding boat people. Why is the sex discrimination commissioner silent on the Burqa? A Burqa can be worn in parliament, but not Speedos. Unless they are worn inside the Burqa.
The left keep promoting items that dream of killing and terrorism in support of their ideals. It is dangerous as their followers are often very weak mentally. Waleed Aly is not an apologist for Islam, but terror. Burqa or Niqab are not at issue in Australia, but cross dressing terrorists killing people who don't know basic Islamic details is a serious issue. Clothing is not religious, but cultural. FGM is not religious either. Neither is misogyny religious. Waleed does not speak for others, but excuses activity without connecting to explain why it exists. Yet he is protected by 18c in ways in which a Jewish man speaking openly about issues that affect them is not. Such an ethnocentric view is clearly something which 18c is supposed to address, and yet it exacerbates it.
Australia is at war, and the UN details terror activity of ISIL. But the battle being fought in Australia is cultural and the specific terrorist activity in the middle east is not the same as that being fought here. An article of clothing is not important. Australia has freedoms. Australia also has customs, like school uniforms and civic duty which means that a policeman or security official could reasonably ask for a person's identity. Risibly, one Islamo Fascist family member refused to identify themselves and took a policeman to court, gloating they had behaved badly. People toss around words like segregation and apartheid when they don't apply. Security arrangements particular to some places, like a parliament, are reasonable in a time of heightened terror alert or war. Whereas peace time apartheid is abhorrent, as South Africa showed before fragmenting.
Mixed issues
Have Palmer's senators dropped him in it? He pushed for an attack on Campbell Newman. But the inquiry looks like being redirected to investigate Palmer. McGowan looks to have criminally negotiated supporters to steal votes and should face jail time if it is proven. Tourism danger, the killing of a couple in Thailand. David and Hannah were enjoying a holiday before they were apparently killed by a Myanmar couple of friends who were strangers to David and Hannah but who frequented the same bar that evening. Aggravating the investigation was the insensitive (stupid) comments by the illegitimate Thai PM who criticised Hannah's bikini. CFMEU Secretary caught lying to Royal Commission, attempting to shield mates. Gillard had been given a mandate in '07 to roll back Work Choices, but not to approve workplace corruption.

From 2013
Obama knew of the shutdown in advance .. he knew what he would, and would not accept. So his closing of a veteran pilgrimage brings to mind the Canterbury tales. Or, more precisely, Thomas Becket who had been made a saint. Thomas began his career as a friend of a man who would be king Henry II. Thomas was religious, and as Archbishop of Canterbury ruled against things King Henry wanted. Some of Henry's followers suggested Thomas wanted power, or was getting rich by being a stumbling block to the king. An exasperated King Henry said aloud "Won't someone rid me of this meddlesome priest" but made no order of it. Some knights took it upon themselves to rid Henry of Thomas, and breaking into the cathedral, they found Thomas praying, and cut him down, and rode away. The slaying of Thomas may have gone down as just a political power struggle, but for the fact that Thomas' body was found to be wearing a hair shirt. There is only one reason to wear a hair shirt, mortification of the flesh. A sign of submission to God. Thomas had not prospered in power or money from being an honest broker before God, and he didn't brag about his faith. Thomas was faithful, and his friend had misunderstood the decisions being made. Later, Thomas was made a saint and people would journey far to see Canterbury Cathedral on faith journeys.
This relates to Obama, who does not seem to understand why it is that Congress isn't allowing him to spend beyond the US debt limit of $17 trillion without a plan to cut back. Obama has shamefully manipulated so as to make the WW2 vets appear in opposition to sensible government. A rare example of money issues being placed in a moral category.

Today's Old Testament reading: Isaiah 14-16
1 The LORD will have compassion on Jacob;
once again he will choose Israel
and will settle them in their own land.
Foreigners will join them
and unite with the descendants of Jacob.
2 Nations will take them
and bring them to their own place.
And Israel will take possession of the nations
and make them male and female servants in the LORD’s land.
They will make captives of their captors
and rule over their oppressors.

and make them male and female servants in the LORD’s land.
They will make captives of their captors
and rule over their oppressors.
3 On the day the LORD gives you relief from your suffering and turmoil and from the harsh labor forced on you, 4 you will take up this taunt against the king of Babylon:
How the oppressor has come to an end!
How his fury has ended!
5 The LORD has broken the rod of the wicked,
the scepter of the rulers,
6 which in anger struck down peoples
with unceasing blows,
and in fury subdued nations
with relentless aggression.
7 All the lands are at rest and at peace;
they break into singing.
8 Even the junipers and the cedars of Lebanon
gloat over you and say,
“Now that you have been laid low,
no one comes to cut us down.”
How his fury has ended!

Today's New Testament reading: Ephesians 5:1-16
1 Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children 2and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people. 4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. 5 For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. 6Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient. 7Therefore do not be partners with them....

Morning
Our hope in Christ for the future is the mainspring and the mainstay of our joy here. It will animate our hearts to think often of heaven, for all that we can desire is promised there. Here we are weary and toilworn, but yonder is the land of rest where the sweat of labour shall no more bedew the worker's brow, and fatigue shall be forever banished. To those who are weary and spent, the word "rest" is full of heaven. We are always in the field of battle; we are so tempted within, and so molested by foes without, that we have little or no peace; but in heaven we shall enjoy the victory, when the banner shall be waved aloft in triumph, and the sword shall be sheathed, and we shall hear our Captain say, "Well done, good and faithful servant." We have suffered bereavement after bereavement, but we are going to the land of the immortal where graves are unknown things. Here sin is a constant grief to us, but there we shall be perfectly holy, for there shall by no means enter into that kingdom anything which defileth. Hemlock springs not up in the furrows of celestial fields. Oh! is it not joy, that you are not to be in banishment forever, that you are not to dwell eternally in this wilderness, but shall soon inherit Canaan? Nevertheless let it never be said of us, that we are dreaming about the future and forgetting the present, let the future sanctify the present to highest uses. Through the Spirit of God the hope of heaven is the most potent force for the product of virtue; it is a fountain of joyous effort, it is the corner stone of cheerful holiness. The man who has this hope in him goes about his work with vigour, for the joy of the Lord is his strength. He fights against temptation with ardour, for the hope of the next world repels the fiery darts of the adversary. He can labour without present reward, for he looks for a reward in the world to come.
Evening
Child of God, do you hesitate to appropriate this title? Ah! has your unbelief made you forget that you are greatly beloved too? Must you not have been greatly beloved, to have been bought with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot? When God smote his only begotten Son for you, what was this but being greatly beloved? You lived in sin, and rioted in it, must you not have been greatly beloved for God to have borne so patiently with you? You were called by grace and led to a Saviour, and made a child of God and an heir of heaven. All this proves, does it not, a very great and superabounding love? Since that time, whether your path has been rough with troubles, or smooth with mercies, it has been full of proofs that you are a man greatly beloved. If the Lord has chastened you, yet not in anger; if he has made you poor, yet in grace you have been rich. The more unworthy you feel yourself to be, the more evidence have you that nothing but unspeakable love could have led the Lord Jesus to save such a soul as yours. The more demerit you feel, the clearer is the display of the abounding love of God in having chosen you, and called you, and made you an heir of bliss. Now, if there be such love between God and us let us live in the influence and sweetness of it, and use the privilege of our position. Do not let us approach our Lord as though we were strangers, or as though he were unwilling to hear us--for we are greatly beloved by our loving Father. "He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?" Come boldly, O believer, for despite the whisperings of Satan and the doubtings of thine own heart, thou art greatly beloved. Meditate on the exceeding greatness and faithfulness of divine love this evening, and so go to thy bed in peace.

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)
