FROM THE VERY SMALL TO THE BIG BANG.
( Introduction & Chapter 1 history of science complete)
INTRODUCTION. - TIME AND SPACE.
What does it mean when we say that time passes by faster or more slowly? What are we really saying?
We are talking about the "rate", T(r), at which time passes, which can also be thought of as a "frequency" similar to electromagnetic radiation. In this analogy, do not confuse long wave length, L, with higher frequency. Longer wave length means slower time rate or frequency which means the slower time passes. The greater the rate (or frequency) of time tics, the faster time passes, and visa versa. A more visual way to see it, imagine a timeline with the tics of a clock separating equal segments, L, of time. The slower time flows, the longer each time segment, L, will be, meaning the rate, T(r), will be less. The exact equation relating frequency to wave length is
L x T(r) = C, the constant speed of light
Now you ask, "How can we talk about the "fabric" of space when there is nothing there?". It was Einstein who first proclaimed that space and gravity interact, claiming that gravity warps space. Now I accept this idea, although it could be that space shapes gravity. No matter, it seems obvious from this that there is something in space we cannot see, and therefore we can speak of space as if it were a "fabric" or maybe even a fluid.

This document is a pure mathematical viewpoint and reasoning in an attempt to better understand what science has been telling us today about quantum theory and cosmology .
IT IS A KEY THEME OF THIS DOCUMENT THAT ONE CANNOT TRAVEL AN IRRATIONAL OR A QUASI-IRRATIONAL DISTANCE WITHIN THE SPACIAL REALITY OF WHICH WE ARE CURRENTLY AWARE. HOWEVER, THAT FACT DOES NOT MEAN THERE ARE NO IRRATIONAL POINTS IN A SEPARATE SPACE OF WHICH WE ARE NOT AWARE. NOR DOES IT MEAN THAT A STATE OF IRRATIONALITY CANNOT TEMPORARILY EXIST WITHIN THE SPACIAL REALITY OF WHICH WE ARE AWARE. THE PERSPECTIVE TAKEN HEREIN IS THAT THERE EXISTS A RATIONAL SUBSPACE AND AN IRRATIONAL SUBSPACE, THE TWO COMPRISING ALL OF SPACE.,
The first chapter presents:
1. the algebraic symbology I use,
2. some key mathematical & scientific information & equations handed down to us,
3. some pertinent scientific history.
Where the reader may skip over the first two sections of this chapter, using those sections only for quick reference, the reader should not skip anything after that lest he become lost in comprehending anything that has evolved in science since the days of Einstein.
The second chapter deals with the very small, ie, quantum theory, space and apparent nothingness.
The third chapter deals with the very large, ie, the BIG BANG . Both the very small and very large are described as contracting and expanding spheres, the commonality being found in the concept of a virtual singularity, ie, a "point".
In this document, I question some of the following contemporary and conventional wisdom
1. ZERO IS ALWAYS A RATIONAL NUMBER.
2. NOTHING IS SMALLER THAN PLANKS CONSTANT.
3 THERE IS NO AETHER.
4. THERE IS NO CENTER TO THE UNIVERSE.
5. THE UNIVERSE IS AN ISOLATED SYSTEM.
6..COSMIC MICROWAVE BACKGROUND NOISE IS STRETCHED OUT LIGHT FROM THE BIG BANG.
Only the first 5 do I seriously question.

CHAPTER 1.
SYMBOL LEGEND, ABOUT NUMBERS, & SCIENTIFIC HISTORY.
.
.
A. Before proceeding , here is a legend of the symbols I will use:
CONSTANTS:
C = the constant speed of light in a vacuum
G = Newton's gravitational constant
PI = C(c)/D(d) = 3.14......
H = Plank's constant = 6.62 x 10**(-34)
W = Wien's Constant = .00294 degree-meters
K = unimportant constant
VARIABLES:
V(n) = Newton's velocity
A(n) = Newton's acceleration
M(n) = Newton's inertial mass
F(n) = Newton's force variable
G(n) = Newton's force of gravity
T = time
D = linear longitudinal distance
T(t) = temperature absolute
T(r) = the rate of time = F(r)
F(r) = frequency or radiation frequency
S(r) spin rate
L(r) = wave length
A(r) = wave amplitude
S(r) = sinusoidal distance
R (r) = radius
D(r) = diameter
C(r) = circumference
E = work/energy
i = an integer quantum number
I may drop the subscript when the context in which the symbol appears is clear or if there is no other use of the capital letter..
In addition, the following equations are observed:
F(n) = M x A Newton's equation
E = F(n) x d Newton's definition of work/energy
E = i x H x F(r) Plank's Law
E = M x C** Einsteins Law
L(r) x F(r) = C Maxwell equation
T(t) x L max = W Wien's Temperature-Wave Length Law
where:
x = multiplication operator
/ = division operator
* = exponential operator
.
.
B. A WORD ABOUT NUMBERS.
Numbers give us a way of measuring things..
And the ability to measure requires the ability to divide that which is being measured into smaller, but equal, parts.
Another word for measuring is "QUANTIFICATION" which gives us a little clue into the meaning of "QUANTUM THEORY". Numbers are also used to label.
There are different kinds of numbers, some of which can be divided into equal parts, and others not so. There are WHOLE NUMBERS aka INTEGERS, ODD & EVEN NUMBERS, PRIMARY NUMBERS, REAL NUMBERS, IMAGINARY NUMBERS, FRACTIONAL NUMBERS, etc...
But here I am focusing upon IRRATIONAL NUMBERS
.
1. An IRRATIONAL NUMBER is one in which there is no end to non-repeating numbers to the right of the decimal point.
2. PI is an irrational number.
3. With the exception of zero, an irrational number multiplied times any rational or irrational number yields an irrational number. The same is true of division. The same is true of addition and subtraction, except when two irrational numbers whose numbers to the right of the decimal point yield a zero sum.
4. There are at least four times more irrational numbers than rational numbers. This is because any mathematical operation ( + - x /) between a rational number and an irrational number always yields an irrational number.
5. There being no distinct classification for numbers that have a repeating non-zero number sequence to the right of the decimal point, I call these QUASI IRRATIONAL NUMBERS. Example: 1/3 = .3333333....
.

C. BEFORE EINSTEIN
.
1. THE CONSTANT SPEED OF LIGHT & ITS IMPACT UPON NEWTON'S KINETIC ENERGY.
For centuries before Einstein, scientists had narrowed down the speed of light, C. So you look at a star and wonder, "Is that light getting to you instantly, or does it require a little time to get to you?". Both Newton and Galileo made unsuccessful attempts to measure the speed of light. But it was two astronomers, Romer in 1675 and Bradley in 1727, who were finally able to determine that the speed of light was finite, not infinite.About the same time, Newton made a very important distinction between average velocity and instantaneous velocity.
It was Einstein who determined that no matter how fast you are moving toward or receding away from a light source, you will always measure the speed of light to be exactly the same. My example #1 illustrates how this is so. It depicts a spring anchored at the ends, with a throttle lever attached to the middle. At the left end is you, the observer. At the right end is the light source you are moving toward or away from. In this example you are moving toward the light source. The lever is the equivalent of a throttle to advance your speed or retard it. The top part of the example shows your motion status before speeding up. The bottom shows the motion status after you have speeded up. More specifically it shows you the length of your ruler on the left and your time clock tics on the right. The distance between each wave peak on the left is the unit of measure for distance on your ruler. The peak of each wave on the right is a tic of your clock. You can see that as you move the level to the left thereby increasing your speed relative to the light source, your ruler shrinks and your time clock slows down. Thus, the ratio of distance traveled to tics of the clock is always the same. This is what Einstein uncovered in his Special Theory of Relativity.
Einstein went on to apply this new finding to Newton's Work-Energy equations. Newton said that Work done equals the Energy put into it, W = E. Derived from his basic equation that says Force F(n) = Mass x Acceleration, F = MA, Newton said that Force applied over a distance is Work, W = F x D, and the Energy to apply that Force was E = MAD. Therefore, if W = E,
then FD = MAD. But A = V/T* = D/T**.
So MAD = M(D/T**)D = M(D**/T**) = MV**.
Therefore, E = MV**. which is KINETIC ENERGY.
But now here is the difference between Newton and Einstein.
Newton assumed that mass, M, was always constant and that velocity,V, was always variable. Einstein, recognizing that the speed of light was constant, simply plugged that constant C in for velocity V to give E = MC**. and said "no, mass is the variable and velocity is the constant. So much for that piece of history.
.
.
2. PLANK'S LAW AND A NEW FOUND ENERGY.
.
Max Plank was a brilliant dedicated scientist in the late 1800s. In his study of HEAT ENERGY (which is basically kinetic energy of atoms hitting each other like friction), he made a very important empirical finding establishing a relationship between energy and radiant frequency. It is called
PLANKS LAW expressed as E = H x F(r),
where E is energy, F(r) is frequency and H is Planks constant
So now we have two equations for energy..
When Newton was talking about "energy", he was talking about KINETIC ENERGY. This appears to be what Einstein was talking about when he first broached the subject of light.
Kinetic energy is the energy imparted when one piece of matter hits another one, so it is deeply connected to mass and the speed of mass.
But Max Plank, in his study of heat energy (which is basically kinetic energy of atoms hitting each other like friction), uncovered the RADIANT ENERGY of electromagnetic waves, especially light waves.
To restate his find in quantum theory terms,
E = i x H x F,
where E is energy & F is frequency & i = 1 quantum.
But where is the force to create radiant energy?
We all can well understand the energy imparted when one thing traveling linearly hits another. But if there is no mass involved, then where is the force of this invisible wave? The answer is that the force is not in the same linear direction of travel. The force is orthogonal to the direction of travel. More specifically it is the amplitude of the wave. The greater (or higher) the amplitude, the greater the force, and hence, the greater the energy. So where does Plank's Law say anything about amplitude? It does not. But what it does say is that the higher the frequency, then the higher the energy. If you have the same amplitude across several different frequencies hitting you, the one you will feel the most is the highest of those frequencies, because you are getting hit more times than the other lower frequencies.
So to recap, we now recognize two different types of energy, kinetic energy and radiant energy. O)f course there are others, but that is not our concern here.
.
3. THE DUAL NATURE OF LIGHT. WAVE-PARTICLE DUALITY.
For centuries, scientist had at some times considered light to be a particle (now called a photon), while at other times considered it to be an electromagnetic wave. Newton and Huygens in the 17th century were among the first to really study light. Newton supported the particle idea and Huygens supported the wave idea.
Huygens said that light is a wave that generates "wavelets" at each point in space along the way which in turn generate more subsequent wavelets. Thus light is propagated like ball colliding with other balls on a pool table, only Huygen's analogy was the wave action of water. Indeed there appears to be a lot of truth in his viewpoint which appear in one of my attached pictures.Then early in the 19th century, Young demonstrated his Double Slit experiment that emphasized the wave idea even further. Later in that century, in pursuit of establishing the wave theory, two scientist, Michelson and Morley, posited that space was comprised of Aether particles through which light was propagated as a wave, In other words, space was like an ocean.They reasoned that the speed of the earth through it could be determined like a rowboat trying to cross a river. The experiment failed, resulting in the dismissal of there being any such thing as an Aether, not to mention the resulting question of light being a wave.
What has since evolved is a very complicated picture of the photon being both a particle and a wave. This being the case, let me try to draw a simple straight forward analogy of this duality.
Referring to my example #2, envision a wheel of your car. This is representative of a photon. Imagine a huge polarized bar magnet stuck perfectly to the wheel across its diameter from one edge, through the center, and to the other edge of the wheel. Now, before you begin to drive it, assume the car is up on blocks lifting the wheels off the ground. You start the engine, engage the wheels, step on the gas and observe the revolutions per minute, rpms. For this example, we assume that the rpms is the same as the rate at which the wheel spins and is the SPIN FREQUENCY, S(r). The spin frequency produces the periodic motion of the magnet's poles which generate an oscillating electromagnetic field of radiation having a frequency of F(r). So the spin rate, S(r), and the frequency, F(r), are one and the same. The resulting radiated wavelength, L, is the same as the circumference, C(r), of the wheel. And the wave's amplitude, A, is the radius, R, of the wheel. Meanwhile, the path of the magnet's north pole is a circle relative to both the ground and the center of the wheel. In short, what we have here is an electromagnetic wave of frequency F(r) and wavelength L that travels at the speed of light C.
Now you lower the car to the ground and begin to drive it at the same revolutions per minute as before Relative to the car, the magnet is still generating the same electromagnetic radiation and has the same frequency and wave length and amplitude as before. And the path of the magnet's north pole motion relative to the center of the wheel is still a circle. But now we ask 'WHAT IS THE PATH OF THE MAGNET'S NORTH POLE MOTION RELATIVE TO AN OBSERVER ON THE GROUND AS THE CAR IS MOVING LONGITUDINALLY? THE ANSWER IS "A SIGN WAVE" WHICH STILL HAS THE SAME AMPLITUDE. BUT EVERYTHING ELSE IS DIFFERENT WITH REGARDS TO FREQUENCY AND WAVELENGTH OF THE GENERATED ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD. .
Going a little further, let's look at what the electromagnetic radiation looks like to our observer standing still in front of your car as you drive towards him. To such an observer, the fact of your velocity towards him compresses the peak-to-peak wavelength of the generated electromagnetic wave. This means a shorter wavelength, which in turn means higher frequency. Were the observer standing behind your car, the opposite would be true. The wavelength would get longer and the frequency would be less. This is called Doppler Frequency Shifting
To this point, our analogy may not be complete, the reason being that the wavelength of the generated electromagnetic wave was in sync with the linear longitudinal distance traveled by 1 complete revolution of the wheel. Suppose the spinning magnet is not attached to the wheel, but instead is inside the car and not spinning at the same rate as the car's wheels.
No matter, the same Doppler Frequency Shift will occur, maybe not the same as before, but it will still occur as long as your car is moving. It is the same type of Doppler Frequency Shift as when you hear a train whistle go from a high pitch to a low pitch as it passes by you. So now we see that there can be a distinct difference between the actual periodic spin speed, ie, frequency, and the observed frequency depending upon the relative motion between the electromagnetic wave source and the observer.
This analogy of a photon may not be exactly correct. Certainly it does not cover all of the intricacies of light, especially Huygens view that light appears to replicate and distribute itself at every point in space. Although Huygens did not support the particle view, his theory seems to be liken to a cue ball hitting a racked up set of balls on a pool table. No matter, I hope this presents at least some idea of how the wave-particle duality idea works.
.
.
4. RECAPPING THE ATTRIBUTES OF LIGHT.
So up to here we have talked about two pertinent aspects of light,
a. its constant longitudinal speed, C, as if it were a particle of matter,
and
b. the fact that it is an oscillating electromagnetic field or wave.
Most anybody can understand part a. But part b should be elaborated upon a little bit without going into all of the details of electromagnetic theory. Sufficia to say, that a magnet has a force field around it that can cause electrons to accelerate or decelerate from their state of motion when the magnet is moved relative to the electrons. Conversely, a linear flow of electrons can generate a magnetic field relative to to the direction of electron flow. The dispersion of the force of the generated magnetic field is circular rather like a pipe enclosing the linear flow of electrons. In other words, a magnetic force that creates "spin" is created. If the linear flow of the electrons is alternated back and forth as in alternating current, then the resulting circular magnetic forces alternate accordingly and create a magnetic wave. This is at the heart of electromagnetic wave generation.
Returning to some other attributes of light,
light radiates outward from its source in linear paths. Its strength per area diminishes as it fans out. A light bean can be reflected or absorbed by matter. It can be refracted as it passes through transparent matter It can be diffused as it passes by the edge of matter.. Each virgin beam of light (or light ray) is composed of transverse waves in all directions.This means looking straight on at the beam you are confronted with waves moving in all directions, not just up-&-down or side-to-side. Polarization is a way of filtering out all the transverse waves except those waves oscillating in just one direction. A laser is a way of amplifying light.
.
5. CAN ANYTHING EXIST WITHOUT MASS?
First let us be clear in our understanding of "mass". "Mass" is "inertia", ie, the resistance to any forces being applied to "mass". It is not weight. In addition, "mass" can be thought of as the storehouse of energy. In a similar manner, "mass" might also be a storehouse for gravity. In addition, there is a distinction made between an "at rest" mass and a mass "in motion". Depending upon the speed of a ball that hits you, the faster ball certainly seems to have more mass.
At first, it would seem the answer to our question is "no". Intuition and our equations tell us "no". We tend to think of a particle as being a piece of matter that occupies points in space and has mass. But who is to say that our piece of matter does not have holes in it, leaving spacial points to be unoccupied by matter.
But quantum theory wants to tell us "yes, something can exist without mass". Science is telling us that the photon is a BOSON and has no mass, but has an energy level of
i x H x F(r) with i = Spin = 1 quantum.
By comparison, the mass of an electron is 9.109 x 10**(-31)kg
and its max speed is about 1% of the speed of light.
This latter statement of the massless photon does appear to totally contradict
E= M x C** = i x H x F(r).
This may be due to the fact that the energy of a single photon is so low that its mass is negligible.The mean frequency of light is 600 trillion hertz which is
600,000,000,000 or 6 x 10**(11). .
If we multiply that times Planks Constant, 6.62 x 10**(-34), we get E = 40 x 10**(-24) . And if me divide that number by
C** 8.99 x 10**(-16), we get M = 320 x 10**(-40) which is much, much smaller than an electron.
It takes 3.2 x 10**(18) photons to generate 1 joule of energy. 1 joule = .000000239 calories, so you can see there is very little energy in a photon. To arrive at more meaningful measurement results, scientists have lumped many, many photons in packets called quantums and that serve as a unit of measure.
Yet another reason for saying the photon is massless is that it is seen impossible for a mass to attain the speed of light. So if a photon had any mass at all, it would not be able to travel the speed of light.
In addition, quantum theory has come up with the SUPER POSITION PRINCIPLE which says if there are two possible states, A & B, for something, then it is possible for any combination of aA + bB to exist. So this could imply that the answer to our question is "yes".
.
6. IS THE PHOTON THE BASIC ELEMENT OF ALL SPACE?
.At this point, we might speculate that every point in space is a massless photon. "But wait", you say. "Then would not all of spacetime be lighted up?". Answer - "Not if the photon is not spinning". "But," you say. "Is a photon affected by gravity/". Answer - "Yes it is". It has been proven that gravity does bend light rays.
And what about the long-ago AETHER concept dismissed by the Michelson/Morley experiment.
Sufifcia to say, if the massless photon is the particle of spacetime, then it would offer no resistance to the earth flowing through it. In other words, the analogy of a boat crossing a flowing river would be incorrect.
Going back to Huygen's wave theory and comparing it to balls on a pool table, might not those balls on the pool table be representative of photons at rest in each point of spacetime?
Nevertheless, it is too early to draw this conclusion. There are many other things to consider.
.
.
7. IS THERE A SMALLEST DISTANCE?
.It is said that the smallest length of distance is PLANKS CONSTANT H which is 6.62 x 10**(-34) and that nothing can exists that is smaller than this. If we substitute MC**(2) for energy and C/£ for frequency, where M is mass, C is the speed of light, & £ is wave length, then we can come up with
M£ = 2/3 x 10**(-26).
What is important here is that mass and wave length are inversely proportional to each other.
THEREFORE, IF A POINT IN SPACE HAS NO MASS, THEN ITS WAVELENGTH IS AN INFINITE STRAIGHT LINE WHOSE FREQUENCY IS C/infinity, AKA ZERO.
So what is the reasoning behind saying that nothing can be smaller than PLANKS CONSTANT? Is this seemingly just another arbitrary restriction similar to saying that 0 must only be rational number, and not irrational?
.
.
D. CATCHING UP WITH EINSTEIN.
Einstein first came out with his SPECIAL THEORY OF RELATIVITY which dealt with two reference systems in motion at a constant speed relative to each other. His findings here included the further study of light which gave us his famous equation, E = MC**. He subsequently came out with his theory of GENERAL RELATIVITY which dealt with two reference systems in variable motions relative to each other, meaning they accelerated and or decelerated relative to each other, which in turn brought into play the consideration of gravity.
Einstein's findings, along with those of his contemporary scientists, eventually gave us the theory of the atom and quantum theory. I should mention here that quantum theory appears to be an attempt to find the smallest practical unit of measure with respect to describing and measuring atomic and subatomic particles and energies.The word "QUANTA" is singular and refers to a single package constituting a unit of measure of vary small particles, like photons and electrons, or packets of energy levels. The word "QUANTUM" is plural and expresses n number of quanta, where n can only be an integer. which is not irrational..
.
1 The IMPACT OF VELOCITY, V, UPON TIME.
Einstein, in his first studies of light, proclaimed that, "THE FASTER ONE TRAVELS, THE SLOWER THE RATE OF TIME AND VISA VERSA. So here we see VELOCITY, V, aka SPEED BASED UPON TIME AND DISTANCE, changing the rate at which time passes.. In other words, the greater the speed, V, the less the rate at which time, T(r), passes and visa versa. It would seem as if V & T(r) are inversely proportional to some extent & can be expressed mathematically as:
V x T(r) = K (a fixed constant.)
But T(r) = C / L, where
C = the speed of light
L = the wave length of time,
ie, the distance between tics of the clock.
Therefore, V / L = K / C
In addition to this, Einstein went on to say, "THE FASTER ONE TRAVELS, THE MORE MASS HE GAINS.". We will remember this when we get to gravity.
.
2. THE INCLUSION OF TIME AS A DIMENSION & ITS GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATION.
In his Special Theory Of Relativity, Einstein addressed the relativistic issues of pure motion and time, the result being his recognition of time as a 4th dimension. But apparently he was somewhat remiss in his depicting graphical reference system of how space and time could could be represented. He relied upon another mathematician, Minkowski. One of the pictures attached here is that of Minkowski's graphical concept of space-time which most physicists agree upon. Part of the trick in understanding it is to realize that distance can be represented as time ASSUMING THE SPEED OF LIGHT IS THE UNIT OF MEASURE ALONG THE TIME AXIS. So there is very little difference from the old 3-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system in that regard. But in addition Minkowski added what is called a LIGHT CONE. Now I do not pretend to know what this light-cone purports to represent, but my best guess is that it is representative of the dispersion of light over time. But do not bet on it.
Speaking of reference systems, Einstein played with Non-Euclidian reference systems, envisioning manifolds and Gaussian Field representations. He did so making a distinction between an INERTIAL REFERENCE SYSTEM wherein the reference system is considered to be at absolute rest as opposed to a separate NON-INERTIAL REFERENCE SYSTEM which is moving with respect to an inertial reference system. This is so, because every person has their own unique frame of reference that move with respect to others.
Anyway let's move onward to the more interesting concepts of gravity which Einstein incorporated in his General Theory Of Relativity.
.
3. The IMPACT OF GRAVITY, G UPON TIME.
First, it is said that gravity travels at the speed of light, no slower and no faster. Secondly, in addition to gravity impacting the shape of space, it has also been proven that gravity has its effects upon time. The closer one is to the source of gravity, THE SLOWER TIME PASSES by. The farther away you are from the center of gravity, THE FASTER TIME PASSES.
It would seem as if G & T(r) are inversely proportional to some extent. In other words, the greater the gravity, the less the rate at which time passes and visa versa. This might be represented by the equation. Thus, we might expand our previous equation to include gravity expressed as
V x G x T(r) = K (a fixed constant.)
or
(V x G) / L = K / C
Remembering Einstein said, "THE FASTER ONE TRAVELS, THE MORE MASS HE GAINS.", we can speculate that it may not be the increase of velocity that slows time directly. It may be that the increase in mass resulting from higher speed produces increased gravity that actually slows time. In this case we could simply omit V from our equation. But for now we will leave it in.
Now this equation may or may not be true, but it does help to understand the inverse relationships between TIME, GRAVITY, and SPEED. We know that G, gravity, is relative to mass. We know that V, velocity is relative to the distance between points in space and time. But we still do not know what the variable TIME is relative to.
.
4. MORE ABOUT GRAVITY "WARPING" SPACE.
Well before Einstein, it was Newton who first introduced the idea that two separate pieces of matter attracted each other via a direct force which he could compute. But when Einstein came along, the picture was changed from a direct force to an indirect force whereby spacetime served as an intermediary. Two pieces of matter in close proximity would come together as a result of their separate respective stretching or squeezing of spacetime and not as the result of a direct force between them.
Einstein finally came up with his equation of General Relativity,
G(uv)=(8pi G/C****)T(uv).
Where: G = Newtons Gravitational Constant
C = The Speed Of Light
pi = the usual irrational constant.
T(uv) = an energy-momentum tensor.
This involves mass, M, & velocity, V.
G(uv) = a curvature tensor.
This includes TIME ..
God only knows what this is,
but let me try to explain as I have heard.
The left side, G(uv), says that space-time is shaped by the right side which represents the distribution of matter. In other words, space-time is malleable, not some unknown infinity.
This may be all fine and dandy, but we need to know, "What is a tensor"?". In mathematics, a tensor is an algebraic object that describes a linear mapping from one set of algebraic objects to another. Objects that tensors may map between include, but are not limited to, vectors and scalars, and, recursively, even other tensors. Tensors are inherently related to vector spaces and their dual spaces, and can take several different forms – for example: a scalar, a vector, a dual vector at a point, or a multi-linear map between vector spaces. Euclidean vectors and scalars (which are often used in elementary physics and engineering applications where general relativity is irrelevant) are the simplest tensors.[1] While tensors are defined independent of any basis, the literature on physics often refers to them by their components in a basis related to a particular coordinate system. The third picture shown here is a diagram of a curvature tensor, but please do not ask me to explain it.
Even given all of this information, how in the world are we suppose to visualize it all.
Einstein said that gravity "warps" space-time. The 2nd attached picture is what has traditionally been known as the Trampoline example which is really pathetic. It is suppose to illustrate how a piece of material like earth causes a "gravity well" distortion in spacetime into which another piece of material (not shown) can fall. But this is really a mickey-mouse example, because it still relies upon there being a gravity force to pull the second piece of material down into its web. In addition to that, one might view this picture as the earth pushing spacetime away.
So just exactly what Einstein meant by "warping" space time is totally unclear. Did he mean to imply a pushing away force or a pulling force, because certainly it must be one of the two. Given the discovery of black holes, which Einstein initially uncovered, he must have meant "warping" as the result of a pulling force. But Einstein went a little further and claimed that gravity was a property of space-time. If this is the case, then it must be that every spacial point must be the source of a quantum gravity force, wherein matter enhances the attraction of spacial points like a piece of meat attracting flies.
At this point, I would like to compare Einstein's equation to what we previously came up with, ie, (V x G) / L = K / C.
Restating the equation, we have
L x K / C = V x G.
So now we can see the commonality between our equation and Einstein's equation on both the left and ride sides. We don't really care about what our arbitrary K / C is. All that counts is that the pertinent factors of time gravity and velocity are correct in their relationship to each other. And of course, Einstein's equation is more complete and correct.
.
5. VISUALIZING GRAVITY WARPING SPACE.
I find the typical Trampoline Picture of gravity warping space to be somewhat unacceptable in that it leads us to believe gravity pushes spacetime away. It would be better if the center of the earth were shown lower at the apex depicted. So let's see if we can come up with a more realistic picture.
If you will, imagine 2 bicycles wheels on a bike as in my example #3. The spokes on the wheels represent the force of gravity emanating radially outward from the center of each wheel where the respective masses are located. Einstein's claim is that the spacetime between the wheels is" warped" by the force of each wheel's gravity. So now, let's ask some questions.
a. WHICH DIRECTION IS FORCE OF GRAVITY OF EACH WHEEL (along the spokes of the wheel) ACTING RELATIVE TO THE WHEEL ON ITS OWN.? Either each wheel is pushing outward away from its center or pulling inward toward its center. This may sound like a stupid question, but Trampoline picture indicates a pushing rather than a pulling.
If the force of gravity were pushing away, then it would stand to reason that all matter would be highly compressed leaving no room for electrons to fly around the atom's nucleus. So obviously, the force of gravity must be a "pulling" force, which we all knew anyway. So gravity is an "attractive" force, not a "repelling" force.
b. UPON WHAT IS THE FORCE OF GRAVITY ACTING EITHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY? Obviously, the force of gravity acts upon two physical bodies, (ie, matter having mass). But Einstein claims that the resulting action is an indirect result of gravity "warping" spacetime. So how can this be? Again, the impact upon spacetime cannot be a "pushing" aside force, because if this were the case, the two bodies would avoid each other. So the two forces of gravity must be "pulling" upon spacetime. This makes it a tug-of-war upon spacetime between the two bodies. This means that spacetime itself must have some particle-like or quantum characteristic.BUT WHAT ?????

CHAPTER 2.
THE FABRIC OF SPACE, BLACK HOLES, AND THE ESSENCE OF TIME
.
A. PERCEPTION.
1. IRRATIONAL NUMBERS.
An irrational (or quasi irrational) number is a very unique in that it cannot be subdivided any further into equal parts.So in a certain sense, it has its own unique identity. No matter, it does not qualify as a very basic unit of measure, because any rational multiples of it result in constructions of the unmeasurable. Matter, being a construction of mass. cannot exist in irrational space. But an electromagnetic wave can and must partially exist in in irrational space, because it is based upon a periodic spin,which requires the use of the irrational constant, PI, in computing wavelength which too is irrational..
2. LET'S TALK ABOUT ZERO.
An irrational number is one which has no ending or repeating pattern after the decimal point. An irrational multiplied by an irrational number may or may not yield a rational number. But an irrational number multiplied by any rational number yields another irrational number, EXCEPT FOR "0" WHICH IS DEFINED TO BE A RATIONAL INTEGER. So quite obviously we have an exception that creates a contradiction when it comes to the number zero.
.
3. FURTHER INVESTIGATION, COLLAPSING SPHERES.
Now consider the case of a virtual circle or sphere collapsing upon its center point.
The definition of a circle or sphere is the locus of points equidistant from a point in space. In a 3D Cartesian reference system, a sphere is defined by R*2 = x*2 + y*2 + z*2., where R is the radius and x,y,z are the coordinates in space. It should be obvious that if R is 0, then x, y, & z are all 0. So far so good.
But another way of defining a sphere is by the rotation of a circle about an axis. And as we all know, C = 2R x PI, where R is the radius of a rational distance & C is the circumference, or the locus of points around the center point of the circle or sphere.
.
4. CONSISTENCY OF REASONING.
BUT PI IS IRRATIONAL, WHICH MEANS THAT C MUST BE IRRATIONAL, WHICH IN TURN MEANS THE LOCUS OF SOME OF THE POINTS EQUIDISTANT FROM THE CENTER ARE IRRATIONAL, WHILE OTHERS MAY BE RATIONAL. (Note: When z = 0 & x = 4 & y =3,; R = 5, all being rational points.) NOW WHEN R BECOMES ZERO (which we assume initially to be rational), THE IRRATIONAL POINTS WHICH WERE IN THE CIRCUMFERENCE ALL CONVERGE UPON WHAT WAS THE RATIONAL CENTER POINT AND MERGE INTO THAT CENTER POINT, THEREBY FORMING A POINT WHICH IS BOTH RATIONAL AND IRRATIONAL. THERE IS NO REASON TO BELIEVE THAT BECAUSE THE RADIUS HAS BECOME ZERO, THEN THOSE IRRATIONAL POINTS THAT FORMED THE CIRCUMFERENCE SIMPLY DISAPPEAR. IT IS MORE CONSISTENT TO VIEW THEM AS OVERLAYING THE RATIONAL CENTER POINT AND MERGING WITH THAT CENTER POINT. THIS IN TURN MEANS THAT ZERO MUST BE BOTH RATIONAL AND IRRATIONAL AT THE SAME TIME, NOT SIMPLY ONE OR THE OTHER. SO WHAT WE HAVE DONE HERE IS TO APPLY THE SUPER POSITION PRINCIPLE. FURTHERMORE, ALL POINTS IN SPACE MUST BE BOTH RATIONAL AND IRRATIONAL. BUT HOW CAN THIS BE? THE ONLY EXPLANATION IS THAT EACH POINT IN SPACE OSCILLATES BETWEEN THE RATIONAL STATE AND THE IRRATIONAL STATE.
.
5. FURTHER CONJECTURE.
AT THIS POINT WE NOW MUST ASK, "WHAT IS THE NATURE OF THIS OSCILLATION OF A POINT IN SPACE ?". THERE ARE THESE POSSIBILITIES
a. EACH POINT IN SPACE SIMPLY CHANGES ITS "COLOR" FROM RATIONAL TO IRRATIONAL AND BACK AGAIN. IN OTHER WORDS, IT IS SIMPLY REPETITIVELY EXPOSING TWO FACES OF THE SAME COIN.
b. EACH POINT IN SPACE HAS A LITTLE WIGGLE ROOM TO VIBRATE BETWEEN THE RATIONAL AND IRRATIONAL, BEING CONSTRAINED BY AN INFINITESIMAL IRRATIONAL DISTANCE.
c. EACH POINT IN SPACE EXPANDS AND CONTRACTS ITS RADIUS BETWEEN RATIONAL 0 AND THE SMALLEST IRRATIONAL DISTANCE, BEING CONSTRAINED BY THE INFINITESIMAL IRRATIONAL DISTANCE.
d. HOWEVER IN OBSERVING PARTICLE-WAVE DUALITY, CURRENT DAY QUANTUM PHYSICS HAS COME TO REGARD THE IDEA THAT A QUANTUM FORCE FIELD CAN BE SOMEWHAT INDEPENDENT OF MATTER AND OCCUPY SPACE WITHOUT IT HAVING A MASS. IT WAS THE PHOTON THAT FIRST GAVE RISE TO THIS IDEA, BECAUSE IT DEMONSTRATES THE PROPERTIES OF BEING A REAL MATERIAL PARTICLE WITH MASS AND
BEING A MASSLESS ENERGY WAVE. THIS IS KNOWN AS PARTICLE-WAVE DUALITY. SUCH BEING THE CASE, IT IS NOT UNTHINKABLE TO ACCEPT THE IDEA THAT OUR SPACIAL POINT COULD OSCILLATE BETWEEN BEING A MASSLESS FIELD AND A REAL PARTICLE HAVING MASS. IN OTHER WORDS, EACH POINT IN SPACE COULD BE WHAT i WOULD CALL A NOW-YOU-SEE-IT/NOW-YOU-DONT PARTICLE, AKA, A "NUCINUD" ENTITY, PROBABLY ALSO KNOW AS THE ELUSIVE GRAVITON PARTICLE.
e. If the preceding does hold water and IF THE OSCILLATIONS OF ALL POINTS ARE IN SYNC WITH EACH OTHER VIA SOME INTERCONNECTING LINKAGE BETWEEN POINTS (LIKE GRAVITY) , then it is reasonable to say that the fabric of all space is comprised of two subspaces, ie, the rational subspace and the irrational subspace. Based on this idea, we might even conjecture that all of space flips back and forth between the two subspaces, thereby creating a motion picture reality. (Note: Refer to the attached Minkowski graph and envision the x-y plane as progressing through time along the time axis in a flip-flop fashion between the rational an irrational.)
However, it may be that the oscillations of all points are asynchronous, ie, not in sync. And if this is true, then the concept of a synchronous and continuous time across all of space is ka-put, as well as the idea of there being any continuity across space-time.
.
6. RECAP - THE "NUCINUD" PARTICLE-POINT.
This writing has theorized the existence of a
NOW-YOU-SEE-IT-NOW-YOU-DONT (aka NUCINUD) PARTICLE-POINT of which all of space is composed.
1)The particle-point is said to oscillate in size from zero to some infinitesimal size. Furthermore, given the current day thinking that treats a massless force field (like a photon) as a real entity, it is conceivable that our nucinud particle-point could oscillate between being a massless force field and being a real particle with mass. This conforms to Einstein and quantum theory recognizing a force field as being independent of matter.
2)The particle-point is the source of gravity (a directional force field) and is enticed by matter to collect inside matter like a bunch of flies being attracted to dead meat. Because of its attraction to other points like itself, it may merge with those other points, thereby increasing the force of its own gravity. And because of its attraction to other particle-points like itself, any motion of the particle-point causes its domain and the domain of neighboring particle- points to be stretched. Furthermore, the particle-point's quantum gravity links it with its adjacent particle-points, thereby providing a linkage between all such particle-points and assuring a synchronous continuity of all space-time.
This conforms to Einstein declaring gravity to be a property of space-time.
3) The particle-point's oscillation period is slowed by the increased presence of its own gravity. This conforms to the observation that gravity slows down time.
4) In addition, there may be a force field that is orthogonal to the gravity force field in a relationship similar to the relationship of electricity to magnetism.
.
7. BLACK HOLES.
From the previous discussion about a collapsing virtual sphere, it should be obvious that this is exactly a description of matter collapsing into a black hole, the only difference being we have now added the presence of matter which exhibits the property of gravity.
If we consider matter to be composed of real rational points in space, then the radius of a black hole must be real, but its circumference, or EVENT HORIZON, must be irrational points in space. Either this or visa versa. No matter, this should give us some insight into the nature of space and matter at the quantum level, where current thought is focused upon multi-dimensionality, particle and string theory.
As a side note black holes having an extremely large mass are known to emit low frequency gravity waves, near sound, when they merge with another black hole. This is not to say that they do not also emit other very high frequency radiation, like gamma and x-rays.
.
.
B. POSTMORTEM.
.
1.. MY APOLOGY.
In association with QUANTUM THEORY, there appears to be a popular belief that there exists the smallest size that anything can exist. Quite obviously, in bringing up and applying IRRATIONAL numbers in my depiction of points in space, I have possibly created a schism about what the very smallest size that a thing can be. And quite obviously, I have diverted from current thinking of there being an absolute smallest particle size to thinking that the very smallest particle can completely disappear to zero size and reappear. In other words, we have a "NOW YOU SEE IT, NOW YOU DON'T" , aka NUCINUD, PARTICLE/SPACIAL-POINT. This may conflict with the PLANK CONSTANT idea of there being an absolute smallest size that never goes to zero.
If what I am saying is true, there remains a question as to the exact nature of time. That question is, " Is it not possible that each somewhat autonomous particle/point of space, by virtue of its oscillating size is somehow linked to its neighbors via an oscillating minute wave it produces?". And is it not then possible that the oscillations of all spacial-points be in sync with each other, thus producing the over all effect of time?". "Can each such a spacial point not be the generator of some isotropic radiation?".
.
2. A QUESTION OF UNIFORMITY BETWEEN GRAVITY & ELECTROMAGNETICS.
In electromagnetics, there are two interwoven but distinct forces, ie, electrical and magnetic. Could be there is a companion force orthogonal to gravity yet to be discovered?
Perhaps, time is orthogonal to gravity.
.
3. A POSSIBLE EXPLANATION FOR WHY THE WEAK NUCLEAR FORCE IS HELD IN CHECK BY THE STRONG NUCLEAR FORCE.
If the two forces are orthogonal to each other as with electro-magetics, then it may be that the weak nuclear force whose direction is a push outward is held in by an encircling strong nuclear force.
..
4. REBUTTLEMENTS:
a. POINTS IN SPACE HAVE NO PROPERTIES LIKE RATIONALITY OR IRRATIONALITY. THE DEFINITION OF A STRAIGHT LINE IS THE SHORTEST DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO POINTS, A & B. ONLY DISTANCE AND/OR TIME CAN BE IRRATIONAL.
ANSWER: Assume you have a "straight" line between points A & B, but the distance is "irrational". If the distance is a "straight" line, then you can never get exactly from point A to point B, because you will either fall short of point B or skip over it claiming to hit point B. So obviously something is amiss.
The possible explanation for this is that something diverted your trip very slightly, causing you not to go in a "straight" line as you presumed. What could that be? Either:
1). You "locus" of points took you slightly off course through an intermediate "irrational point,
or
2). Some mysterious force "bent" your path along the way.
Now consider the distance between A & B as shrinking almost to zero, but it is still irrational. Either that irrational intermediate point is still there or that mysterious force is still there. And as we collapse that distance to zero, there is no reason to believe that anything has changed. Thus, the point must take on the properties of what was exterior to it.

CHAPTER 3.
THE BIG BANG.
.
I. CURRENT UNDERSTANDING.
As a result of both scientific and technological advancement over the last century, it has become pretty clear that our universe began with a BIG BANG. Whether it was caused by a collision of some preexisting entities or caused by the immediate appearance out of nowhere of a singularity. ie a "POINT" may be a concern, but it should be obvious that were it a collision of preexisting entities, then the universe must have existed before the collision, which leads one to question how those entities came about. Therefore, the more reasonable viewpoint is to regard it as starting from a singularity, thereby eliminating the endless search for a beginning.
This BIG BANG CREATION THEORY tells us that both space, time and matter were all created immediately 13.8 billion years ago from a singularity that erupted into an explosion, with matter evolving from a super-heated plasma, that turned into the basic particles of the atom as it cooled, that turned into hydrogen and helium atoms, that turned into stars, which in turn created the heavier elements we know of today. It also tells us that light was created which was everywhere all at once and which ultimately turned into microwaves and can be found today as CMB, COSMIC MICROWAVE BACKGROUND noise that still travel everywhere in the universe.
.
II. QUESTIONS:
.
A. SOME SCIENTIST ARGUE THAT THE UNIVERSE IS A
"ISOLATED SYSTEM".
The word, "SYSTEM", implies some degree of enclosure, and therefore an entity that can be somewhat described. The word "DESCRIBE" also implies an enclosure since the syllable "SCRIBE" means to circumnavigate or enclose.
To point out the differences in system types, science recognizes 3 kinds of systems:
1. "ISOLATED" where neither energy or matter can escape.
An "isolated" system is one completely enclosed an
sealed off. The 2ND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS
pertains to this kind of system. So it may be that some
scientists opt for this type of universe to preserve that
law.
2. "CLOSED" where energy can escape, but not matter.
In other words, there is a small exit.
3. "OPENED" where both energy and matter can escape.
This latter type of system should be self-evident.
At this point let us consider some possible semmetrical enclosures of the universe. We will exclude the unsemmetrical, because they could be like fractals and just too difficult to apply simple math.
So considering only the symmetrical, we have only four possibilities
1. A TETRAHEDRON
2. A CUBE
3. A DODECAHEDRON.
4. A SPHERE.
So which of these would be the most realistic to enclose our universe? Certainly not the first three, because it is most unlikely that our universe would have sharp edges as required by a polyhedron. That leaves us with a sphere.
So let's go back and see if a sphere really is representative of our universe being an isolated system. If the universe is indeed "isolated" and spherical , then there must be a discernable boundary at a rational distance from its center. And if the universe is spherical, then its surface must contain some irrational points as we saw previously in our discussion of a point. This must mean our sphere has holes in it, making it impossible to be an isolated enclosed system.
Of course it can be argued that the universe is not a perfect sphere. But if that is true, then how do you account for what must have been the typical symmetrical radiation pattern of
a shock wave or dispersion of what-ever that is typical of an explosion?
So I would like to know what proof these scientist have of the universe being an isolated system? Have they in fact ventured to the outer boundaries and found all of the doors shut.? Or are they just being lazy, arrogant and closed minded?
Of course, isolation of variables is essential to understanding the cause and effect of things. But to claim that the Universe is always an isolated entity is beyond all reason. There is no such thing as always or never. Gates open and gates close, and we know not when, where, and/or by what means or who.
.
B. WHAT THIS, NO CENTER TO THE UNIVERSE?
Scientists are telling us per Google,
"There is no centre of the universe! According to the standard theories of cosmology, the universe started with a "Big Bang" about 14 thousand million years ago and has been expanding ever since. Yet there is no centre to the expansion; it is the same everywhere."
Apparently scientists do not consider the original spot where the Big Bang started as part of the universe. This could only mean that the universe is sandwiched in between two concentric spheres, assuming a symmetrical explosion. If the explosion was non-semmetrical, then the universe would still be sandwiched in between an outer layer and an inner layer, assuming the point of the explosion was surrounded by all the debris which is not unreasonable. But then again, one might conjecture the universe as being a smoke ring blown through a tiny hole. One could almost imagine God smoking a pipe and blowing a smoke ring. He may be even blowing more than one smoke ring, thereby creating multi-verses No matter, there must be a center point of origin and regardless of whether or not scientist include it as part of the universe.
.
C. LOOKING INTO THE DISTANT PAST.
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT WE ARE LOOKING FARTHER BACK INTO TIME AS WE PEER DEEPER INTO SPACE?
We must begin with the fact that there is nothing that can travel faster than light. And because of the vast distances between galaxies, it can take millions of light years for the light from a far distant galaxy to reach our galaxy. This means that an immense amount of time has past by the time we see the light, which means we are looking at history.
With the advent of space travel, our imaginations can go wild with the idea of visiting distant galaxies. Yet science tells us that the deeper we peer into space, then the farther back in time we go. But to be more precise, the deeper we look into space, we see light (or electromagnetic radiation) emitted long, long ago. So this raises the question, "If what we are seeing now actually occurred millions of years ago, then how do we know those objects are still there?" If in truth they are not presently there, then is there really any point in trying to converse with them, let alone attempt to travel to them? This not to say we should not even bother to be aware and study these past events. But they need to be recognized as historical events long past that should not necessarily effect our current day presence.
For an observer to say, "I just saw new stars being born" is not necessarily correct. It is more honest to say "I have seen stars that were born x years ago". To him I would say "If you are going to travel to some distant star, don't be surprised if it is gone before you get there.
Edwin Hubble discovered that the universe appears to be expanding due to the "Doppler Red Shift" he observed of light coming from very distant stars.. From that we have concluded that the more distant starts are "accelerating" away, leading us to theorize that the universe is expanding as a whole attributed to the existence 'dark energy".
But there is something troubling about this. WHAT IS THE POINT THEY ARE EXPANDING FROM? WHERE IS THE CENTER POINT OF THE EXPLOSION? CAN WE NOT SEE LIGHT FROM DISTANT GALAXIES DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM US ON THE OTHER SIDE? WHAT IF THOSE MORE DISTANT STARS ARE NOT RECEDING AWAY FROM US LINEARLY, BUT ARE ACTUALLY CIRCULATING AROUND THE EDGES OF THE UNIVERSE?" IT WOULD STILL BE POSSIBLE TO OBSERVE A RED SHIFT AT THE RIGHT TIMES RELATIVE TO THE POSITION OF THE EARTH? These very simple questions remain to be answered by science, not some arbitrary statements of there being no center or that the universe is an isolated system. If you don't know, then say you don't know.

3. REFERENCE SYSTEMS RESTRICTION..
A reference system within the rational sub-space cannot be used to measure distances to points within the irrational sub-space, and visa versa. The ability to measure distance is restricted to the sub-space in which the measurement is being made.
4. The role of "TIME"
It may be that "time" is the resolving factor between rational space and irrational space. Therefore, it makes sense to speak of "space-time" as one complete entity.
E. IS THE VANISHING POINT ONE OR MANY?
Certainly someone has already considered this question, but just in case, I bring it up now.
Suppose two people are standing at opposite poles of the earth, each looking straight up. The question is;
"ARE THEY LOOKING AT DIFFERENT POINTS IN SPACE OR THE SAME ONE?'. This may sound like a stupid question, but it does deserve an answer, because we do know now that light does bend. If they are in fact the same point in space, then as we gaze into the heavens to the farthest light source from no matter where, are we not starring at the original single point of the Big Bang? And if true, then the universe is a CLOSED SYSTEM that happens to be expanding at the moment, possibly causing the effect of time.
Here are some observations.
As has been known for many centuries in art, as you look at something from an increasing distances, the smaller it becomes until it completely vanishes into a single point. Imagine a perfect cross whose limbs are the same length,d. The farther away you move from it (say distance D), the shorter the limb lengths appear. It would almost seem as if there is an inversely proportional relationship between D & d, whereby D x d = Constant K. This observation seems to hold true no matter in what direction you are looking. However, If we now take a larger cross whose limbs are of length s, we now have to be at a farther distance, S, from it before it vanishes. And where S x s = Constant C, it does not follow that Constant C = Constant K unless there is some other mitigating factor, like time, to produce some fixed universal constant X. Perhaps something like X = K/T(d) = C/T(s), where T(d) might be the time it takes light to travel the distance D & T(s) is the time for light to travel the distance S. But this is just mere conjecture.
Here is another view on the vanishing point which could contradict the idea of it being a single point. Instead of a cross made of wood, imagine the cross is made of two strings. You grab one of the strings at the center and begin to pull. The ends of the string are not secured, but have heavy weights on
them so they can reluctantly move. As you pull, the string beings to bend, and the two ends come closer together. If you pull long enough, the two ends will come together as if they were one.
In this analogy, the string you are pulling on is actually the separate light beams of each point along the lateral length of the string (or coss). And the light beams from each end of the string converge into one before those other light beams emitted from the points closer to the center of the string. In other words, the light being emitted from the cross is bending to the vanishing point where all visibility of the cross is gone.
Of course, this too is conjecture, but it does destroy the prior view. And it further falls in line with the idea that it takes a longer time for the light from the ends of the cross to reach your eye than the light from the center of the cross.
( Introduction & Chapter 1 history of science complete)
INTRODUCTION. - TIME AND SPACE.
What does it mean when we say that time passes by faster or more slowly? What are we really saying?
We are talking about the "rate", T(r), at which time passes, which can also be thought of as a "frequency" similar to electromagnetic radiation. In this analogy, do not confuse long wave length, L, with higher frequency. Longer wave length means slower time rate or frequency which means the slower time passes. The greater the rate (or frequency) of time tics, the faster time passes, and visa versa. A more visual way to see it, imagine a timeline with the tics of a clock separating equal segments, L, of time. The slower time flows, the longer each time segment, L, will be, meaning the rate, T(r), will be less. The exact equation relating frequency to wave length is
L x T(r) = C, the constant speed of light
Now you ask, "How can we talk about the "fabric" of space when there is nothing there?". It was Einstein who first proclaimed that space and gravity interact, claiming that gravity warps space. Now I accept this idea, although it could be that space shapes gravity. No matter, it seems obvious from this that there is something in space we cannot see, and therefore we can speak of space as if it were a "fabric" or maybe even a fluid.

This document is a pure mathematical viewpoint and reasoning in an attempt to better understand what science has been telling us today about quantum theory and cosmology .
IT IS A KEY THEME OF THIS DOCUMENT THAT ONE CANNOT TRAVEL AN IRRATIONAL OR A QUASI-IRRATIONAL DISTANCE WITHIN THE SPACIAL REALITY OF WHICH WE ARE CURRENTLY AWARE. HOWEVER, THAT FACT DOES NOT MEAN THERE ARE NO IRRATIONAL POINTS IN A SEPARATE SPACE OF WHICH WE ARE NOT AWARE. NOR DOES IT MEAN THAT A STATE OF IRRATIONALITY CANNOT TEMPORARILY EXIST WITHIN THE SPACIAL REALITY OF WHICH WE ARE AWARE. THE PERSPECTIVE TAKEN HEREIN IS THAT THERE EXISTS A RATIONAL SUBSPACE AND AN IRRATIONAL SUBSPACE, THE TWO COMPRISING ALL OF SPACE.,
The first chapter presents:
1. the algebraic symbology I use,
2. some key mathematical & scientific information & equations handed down to us,
3. some pertinent scientific history.
Where the reader may skip over the first two sections of this chapter, using those sections only for quick reference, the reader should not skip anything after that lest he become lost in comprehending anything that has evolved in science since the days of Einstein.
The second chapter deals with the very small, ie, quantum theory, space and apparent nothingness.
The third chapter deals with the very large, ie, the BIG BANG . Both the very small and very large are described as contracting and expanding spheres, the commonality being found in the concept of a virtual singularity, ie, a "point".
In this document, I question some of the following contemporary and conventional wisdom
1. ZERO IS ALWAYS A RATIONAL NUMBER.
2. NOTHING IS SMALLER THAN PLANKS CONSTANT.
3 THERE IS NO AETHER.
4. THERE IS NO CENTER TO THE UNIVERSE.
5. THE UNIVERSE IS AN ISOLATED SYSTEM.
6..COSMIC MICROWAVE BACKGROUND NOISE IS STRETCHED OUT LIGHT FROM THE BIG BANG.
Only the first 5 do I seriously question.

CHAPTER 1.
SYMBOL LEGEND, ABOUT NUMBERS, & SCIENTIFIC HISTORY.
.
.
A. Before proceeding , here is a legend of the symbols I will use:
CONSTANTS:
C = the constant speed of light in a vacuum
G = Newton's gravitational constant
PI = C(c)/D(d) = 3.14......
H = Plank's constant = 6.62 x 10**(-34)
W = Wien's Constant = .00294 degree-meters
K = unimportant constant
VARIABLES:
V(n) = Newton's velocity
A(n) = Newton's acceleration
M(n) = Newton's inertial mass
F(n) = Newton's force variable
G(n) = Newton's force of gravity
T = time
D = linear longitudinal distance
T(t) = temperature absolute
T(r) = the rate of time = F(r)
F(r) = frequency or radiation frequency
S(r) spin rate
L(r) = wave length
A(r) = wave amplitude
S(r) = sinusoidal distance
R (r) = radius
D(r) = diameter
C(r) = circumference
E = work/energy
i = an integer quantum number
I may drop the subscript when the context in which the symbol appears is clear or if there is no other use of the capital letter..
In addition, the following equations are observed:
F(n) = M x A Newton's equation
E = F(n) x d Newton's definition of work/energy
E = i x H x F(r) Plank's Law
E = M x C** Einsteins Law
L(r) x F(r) = C Maxwell equation
T(t) x L max = W Wien's Temperature-Wave Length Law
where:
x = multiplication operator
/ = division operator
* = exponential operator
.
.
B. A WORD ABOUT NUMBERS.
Numbers give us a way of measuring things..
And the ability to measure requires the ability to divide that which is being measured into smaller, but equal, parts.
Another word for measuring is "QUANTIFICATION" which gives us a little clue into the meaning of "QUANTUM THEORY". Numbers are also used to label.
There are different kinds of numbers, some of which can be divided into equal parts, and others not so. There are WHOLE NUMBERS aka INTEGERS, ODD & EVEN NUMBERS, PRIMARY NUMBERS, REAL NUMBERS, IMAGINARY NUMBERS, FRACTIONAL NUMBERS, etc...
But here I am focusing upon IRRATIONAL NUMBERS
.
1. An IRRATIONAL NUMBER is one in which there is no end to non-repeating numbers to the right of the decimal point.
2. PI is an irrational number.
3. With the exception of zero, an irrational number multiplied times any rational or irrational number yields an irrational number. The same is true of division. The same is true of addition and subtraction, except when two irrational numbers whose numbers to the right of the decimal point yield a zero sum.
4. There are at least four times more irrational numbers than rational numbers. This is because any mathematical operation ( + - x /) between a rational number and an irrational number always yields an irrational number.
5. There being no distinct classification for numbers that have a repeating non-zero number sequence to the right of the decimal point, I call these QUASI IRRATIONAL NUMBERS. Example: 1/3 = .3333333....

C. BEFORE EINSTEIN
.
1. THE CONSTANT SPEED OF LIGHT & ITS IMPACT UPON NEWTON'S KINETIC ENERGY.
For centuries before Einstein, scientists had narrowed down the speed of light, C. So you look at a star and wonder, "Is that light getting to you instantly, or does it require a little time to get to you?". Both Newton and Galileo made unsuccessful attempts to measure the speed of light. But it was two astronomers, Romer in 1675 and Bradley in 1727, who were finally able to determine that the speed of light was finite, not infinite.About the same time, Newton made a very important distinction between average velocity and instantaneous velocity.
It was Einstein who determined that no matter how fast you are moving toward or receding away from a light source, you will always measure the speed of light to be exactly the same. My example #1 illustrates how this is so. It depicts a spring anchored at the ends, with a throttle lever attached to the middle. At the left end is you, the observer. At the right end is the light source you are moving toward or away from. In this example you are moving toward the light source. The lever is the equivalent of a throttle to advance your speed or retard it. The top part of the example shows your motion status before speeding up. The bottom shows the motion status after you have speeded up. More specifically it shows you the length of your ruler on the left and your time clock tics on the right. The distance between each wave peak on the left is the unit of measure for distance on your ruler. The peak of each wave on the right is a tic of your clock. You can see that as you move the level to the left thereby increasing your speed relative to the light source, your ruler shrinks and your time clock slows down. Thus, the ratio of distance traveled to tics of the clock is always the same. This is what Einstein uncovered in his Special Theory of Relativity.
Einstein went on to apply this new finding to Newton's Work-Energy equations. Newton said that Work done equals the Energy put into it, W = E. Derived from his basic equation that says Force F(n) = Mass x Acceleration, F = MA, Newton said that Force applied over a distance is Work, W = F x D, and the Energy to apply that Force was E = MAD. Therefore, if W = E,
then FD = MAD. But A = V/T* = D/T**.
So MAD = M(D/T**)D = M(D**/T**) = MV**.
Therefore, E = MV**. which is KINETIC ENERGY.
But now here is the difference between Newton and Einstein.
Newton assumed that mass, M, was always constant and that velocity,V, was always variable. Einstein, recognizing that the speed of light was constant, simply plugged that constant C in for velocity V to give E = MC**. and said "no, mass is the variable and velocity is the constant. So much for that piece of history.
.
.
2. PLANK'S LAW AND A NEW FOUND ENERGY.
.
Max Plank was a brilliant dedicated scientist in the late 1800s. In his study of HEAT ENERGY (which is basically kinetic energy of atoms hitting each other like friction), he made a very important empirical finding establishing a relationship between energy and radiant frequency. It is called
PLANKS LAW expressed as E = H x F(r),
where E is energy, F(r) is frequency and H is Planks constant
So now we have two equations for energy..
When Newton was talking about "energy", he was talking about KINETIC ENERGY. This appears to be what Einstein was talking about when he first broached the subject of light.
Kinetic energy is the energy imparted when one piece of matter hits another one, so it is deeply connected to mass and the speed of mass.
But Max Plank, in his study of heat energy (which is basically kinetic energy of atoms hitting each other like friction), uncovered the RADIANT ENERGY of electromagnetic waves, especially light waves.
To restate his find in quantum theory terms,
E = i x H x F,
where E is energy & F is frequency & i = 1 quantum.
But where is the force to create radiant energy?
We all can well understand the energy imparted when one thing traveling linearly hits another. But if there is no mass involved, then where is the force of this invisible wave? The answer is that the force is not in the same linear direction of travel. The force is orthogonal to the direction of travel. More specifically it is the amplitude of the wave. The greater (or higher) the amplitude, the greater the force, and hence, the greater the energy. So where does Plank's Law say anything about amplitude? It does not. But what it does say is that the higher the frequency, then the higher the energy. If you have the same amplitude across several different frequencies hitting you, the one you will feel the most is the highest of those frequencies, because you are getting hit more times than the other lower frequencies.
So to recap, we now recognize two different types of energy, kinetic energy and radiant energy. O)f course there are others, but that is not our concern here.

3. THE DUAL NATURE OF LIGHT. WAVE-PARTICLE DUALITY.
For centuries, scientist had at some times considered light to be a particle (now called a photon), while at other times considered it to be an electromagnetic wave. Newton and Huygens in the 17th century were among the first to really study light. Newton supported the particle idea and Huygens supported the wave idea.
Huygens said that light is a wave that generates "wavelets" at each point in space along the way which in turn generate more subsequent wavelets. Thus light is propagated like ball colliding with other balls on a pool table, only Huygen's analogy was the wave action of water. Indeed there appears to be a lot of truth in his viewpoint which appear in one of my attached pictures.Then early in the 19th century, Young demonstrated his Double Slit experiment that emphasized the wave idea even further. Later in that century, in pursuit of establishing the wave theory, two scientist, Michelson and Morley, posited that space was comprised of Aether particles through which light was propagated as a wave, In other words, space was like an ocean.They reasoned that the speed of the earth through it could be determined like a rowboat trying to cross a river. The experiment failed, resulting in the dismissal of there being any such thing as an Aether, not to mention the resulting question of light being a wave.
What has since evolved is a very complicated picture of the photon being both a particle and a wave. This being the case, let me try to draw a simple straight forward analogy of this duality.
Referring to my example #2, envision a wheel of your car. This is representative of a photon. Imagine a huge polarized bar magnet stuck perfectly to the wheel across its diameter from one edge, through the center, and to the other edge of the wheel. Now, before you begin to drive it, assume the car is up on blocks lifting the wheels off the ground. You start the engine, engage the wheels, step on the gas and observe the revolutions per minute, rpms. For this example, we assume that the rpms is the same as the rate at which the wheel spins and is the SPIN FREQUENCY, S(r). The spin frequency produces the periodic motion of the magnet's poles which generate an oscillating electromagnetic field of radiation having a frequency of F(r). So the spin rate, S(r), and the frequency, F(r), are one and the same. The resulting radiated wavelength, L, is the same as the circumference, C(r), of the wheel. And the wave's amplitude, A, is the radius, R, of the wheel. Meanwhile, the path of the magnet's north pole is a circle relative to both the ground and the center of the wheel. In short, what we have here is an electromagnetic wave of frequency F(r) and wavelength L that travels at the speed of light C.
Now you lower the car to the ground and begin to drive it at the same revolutions per minute as before Relative to the car, the magnet is still generating the same electromagnetic radiation and has the same frequency and wave length and amplitude as before. And the path of the magnet's north pole motion relative to the center of the wheel is still a circle. But now we ask 'WHAT IS THE PATH OF THE MAGNET'S NORTH POLE MOTION RELATIVE TO AN OBSERVER ON THE GROUND AS THE CAR IS MOVING LONGITUDINALLY? THE ANSWER IS "A SIGN WAVE" WHICH STILL HAS THE SAME AMPLITUDE. BUT EVERYTHING ELSE IS DIFFERENT WITH REGARDS TO FREQUENCY AND WAVELENGTH OF THE GENERATED ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD. .
Going a little further, let's look at what the electromagnetic radiation looks like to our observer standing still in front of your car as you drive towards him. To such an observer, the fact of your velocity towards him compresses the peak-to-peak wavelength of the generated electromagnetic wave. This means a shorter wavelength, which in turn means higher frequency. Were the observer standing behind your car, the opposite would be true. The wavelength would get longer and the frequency would be less. This is called Doppler Frequency Shifting
To this point, our analogy may not be complete, the reason being that the wavelength of the generated electromagnetic wave was in sync with the linear longitudinal distance traveled by 1 complete revolution of the wheel. Suppose the spinning magnet is not attached to the wheel, but instead is inside the car and not spinning at the same rate as the car's wheels.
No matter, the same Doppler Frequency Shift will occur, maybe not the same as before, but it will still occur as long as your car is moving. It is the same type of Doppler Frequency Shift as when you hear a train whistle go from a high pitch to a low pitch as it passes by you. So now we see that there can be a distinct difference between the actual periodic spin speed, ie, frequency, and the observed frequency depending upon the relative motion between the electromagnetic wave source and the observer.
This analogy of a photon may not be exactly correct. Certainly it does not cover all of the intricacies of light, especially Huygens view that light appears to replicate and distribute itself at every point in space. Although Huygens did not support the particle view, his theory seems to be liken to a cue ball hitting a racked up set of balls on a pool table. No matter, I hope this presents at least some idea of how the wave-particle duality idea works.
.
.
4. RECAPPING THE ATTRIBUTES OF LIGHT.
So up to here we have talked about two pertinent aspects of light,
a. its constant longitudinal speed, C, as if it were a particle of matter,
and
b. the fact that it is an oscillating electromagnetic field or wave.
Most anybody can understand part a. But part b should be elaborated upon a little bit without going into all of the details of electromagnetic theory. Sufficia to say, that a magnet has a force field around it that can cause electrons to accelerate or decelerate from their state of motion when the magnet is moved relative to the electrons. Conversely, a linear flow of electrons can generate a magnetic field relative to to the direction of electron flow. The dispersion of the force of the generated magnetic field is circular rather like a pipe enclosing the linear flow of electrons. In other words, a magnetic force that creates "spin" is created. If the linear flow of the electrons is alternated back and forth as in alternating current, then the resulting circular magnetic forces alternate accordingly and create a magnetic wave. This is at the heart of electromagnetic wave generation.
Returning to some other attributes of light,
light radiates outward from its source in linear paths. Its strength per area diminishes as it fans out. A light bean can be reflected or absorbed by matter. It can be refracted as it passes through transparent matter It can be diffused as it passes by the edge of matter.. Each virgin beam of light (or light ray) is composed of transverse waves in all directions.This means looking straight on at the beam you are confronted with waves moving in all directions, not just up-&-down or side-to-side. Polarization is a way of filtering out all the transverse waves except those waves oscillating in just one direction. A laser is a way of amplifying light.
.
5. CAN ANYTHING EXIST WITHOUT MASS?
First let us be clear in our understanding of "mass". "Mass" is "inertia", ie, the resistance to any forces being applied to "mass". It is not weight. In addition, "mass" can be thought of as the storehouse of energy. In a similar manner, "mass" might also be a storehouse for gravity. In addition, there is a distinction made between an "at rest" mass and a mass "in motion". Depending upon the speed of a ball that hits you, the faster ball certainly seems to have more mass.
At first, it would seem the answer to our question is "no". Intuition and our equations tell us "no". We tend to think of a particle as being a piece of matter that occupies points in space and has mass. But who is to say that our piece of matter does not have holes in it, leaving spacial points to be unoccupied by matter.
But quantum theory wants to tell us "yes, something can exist without mass". Science is telling us that the photon is a BOSON and has no mass, but has an energy level of
i x H x F(r) with i = Spin = 1 quantum.
By comparison, the mass of an electron is 9.109 x 10**(-31)kg
and its max speed is about 1% of the speed of light.
This latter statement of the massless photon does appear to totally contradict
E= M x C** = i x H x F(r).
This may be due to the fact that the energy of a single photon is so low that its mass is negligible.The mean frequency of light is 600 trillion hertz which is
600,000,000,000 or 6 x 10**(11). .
If we multiply that times Planks Constant, 6.62 x 10**(-34), we get E = 40 x 10**(-24) . And if me divide that number by
C** 8.99 x 10**(-16), we get M = 320 x 10**(-40) which is much, much smaller than an electron.
It takes 3.2 x 10**(18) photons to generate 1 joule of energy. 1 joule = .000000239 calories, so you can see there is very little energy in a photon. To arrive at more meaningful measurement results, scientists have lumped many, many photons in packets called quantums and that serve as a unit of measure.
Yet another reason for saying the photon is massless is that it is seen impossible for a mass to attain the speed of light. So if a photon had any mass at all, it would not be able to travel the speed of light.
In addition, quantum theory has come up with the SUPER POSITION PRINCIPLE which says if there are two possible states, A & B, for something, then it is possible for any combination of aA + bB to exist. So this could imply that the answer to our question is "yes".
.
6. IS THE PHOTON THE BASIC ELEMENT OF ALL SPACE?
.At this point, we might speculate that every point in space is a massless photon. "But wait", you say. "Then would not all of spacetime be lighted up?". Answer - "Not if the photon is not spinning". "But," you say. "Is a photon affected by gravity/". Answer - "Yes it is". It has been proven that gravity does bend light rays.
And what about the long-ago AETHER concept dismissed by the Michelson/Morley experiment.
Sufifcia to say, if the massless photon is the particle of spacetime, then it would offer no resistance to the earth flowing through it. In other words, the analogy of a boat crossing a flowing river would be incorrect.
Going back to Huygen's wave theory and comparing it to balls on a pool table, might not those balls on the pool table be representative of photons at rest in each point of spacetime?
Nevertheless, it is too early to draw this conclusion. There are many other things to consider.
.
.
7. IS THERE A SMALLEST DISTANCE?
.It is said that the smallest length of distance is PLANKS CONSTANT H which is 6.62 x 10**(-34) and that nothing can exists that is smaller than this. If we substitute MC**(2) for energy and C/£ for frequency, where M is mass, C is the speed of light, & £ is wave length, then we can come up with
M£ = 2/3 x 10**(-26).
What is important here is that mass and wave length are inversely proportional to each other.
THEREFORE, IF A POINT IN SPACE HAS NO MASS, THEN ITS WAVELENGTH IS AN INFINITE STRAIGHT LINE WHOSE FREQUENCY IS C/infinity, AKA ZERO.
So what is the reasoning behind saying that nothing can be smaller than PLANKS CONSTANT? Is this seemingly just another arbitrary restriction similar to saying that 0 must only be rational number, and not irrational?
.
.
D. CATCHING UP WITH EINSTEIN.
Einstein first came out with his SPECIAL THEORY OF RELATIVITY which dealt with two reference systems in motion at a constant speed relative to each other. His findings here included the further study of light which gave us his famous equation, E = MC**. He subsequently came out with his theory of GENERAL RELATIVITY which dealt with two reference systems in variable motions relative to each other, meaning they accelerated and or decelerated relative to each other, which in turn brought into play the consideration of gravity.
Einstein's findings, along with those of his contemporary scientists, eventually gave us the theory of the atom and quantum theory. I should mention here that quantum theory appears to be an attempt to find the smallest practical unit of measure with respect to describing and measuring atomic and subatomic particles and energies.The word "QUANTA" is singular and refers to a single package constituting a unit of measure of vary small particles, like photons and electrons, or packets of energy levels. The word "QUANTUM" is plural and expresses n number of quanta, where n can only be an integer. which is not irrational..
.
1 The IMPACT OF VELOCITY, V, UPON TIME.
Einstein, in his first studies of light, proclaimed that, "THE FASTER ONE TRAVELS, THE SLOWER THE RATE OF TIME AND VISA VERSA. So here we see VELOCITY, V, aka SPEED BASED UPON TIME AND DISTANCE, changing the rate at which time passes.. In other words, the greater the speed, V, the less the rate at which time, T(r), passes and visa versa. It would seem as if V & T(r) are inversely proportional to some extent & can be expressed mathematically as:
V x T(r) = K (a fixed constant.)
But T(r) = C / L, where
C = the speed of light
L = the wave length of time,
ie, the distance between tics of the clock.
Therefore, V / L = K / C
In addition to this, Einstein went on to say, "THE FASTER ONE TRAVELS, THE MORE MASS HE GAINS.". We will remember this when we get to gravity.
.
2. THE INCLUSION OF TIME AS A DIMENSION & ITS GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATION.
In his Special Theory Of Relativity, Einstein addressed the relativistic issues of pure motion and time, the result being his recognition of time as a 4th dimension. But apparently he was somewhat remiss in his depicting graphical reference system of how space and time could could be represented. He relied upon another mathematician, Minkowski. One of the pictures attached here is that of Minkowski's graphical concept of space-time which most physicists agree upon. Part of the trick in understanding it is to realize that distance can be represented as time ASSUMING THE SPEED OF LIGHT IS THE UNIT OF MEASURE ALONG THE TIME AXIS. So there is very little difference from the old 3-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system in that regard. But in addition Minkowski added what is called a LIGHT CONE. Now I do not pretend to know what this light-cone purports to represent, but my best guess is that it is representative of the dispersion of light over time. But do not bet on it.
Speaking of reference systems, Einstein played with Non-Euclidian reference systems, envisioning manifolds and Gaussian Field representations. He did so making a distinction between an INERTIAL REFERENCE SYSTEM wherein the reference system is considered to be at absolute rest as opposed to a separate NON-INERTIAL REFERENCE SYSTEM which is moving with respect to an inertial reference system. This is so, because every person has their own unique frame of reference that move with respect to others.
Anyway let's move onward to the more interesting concepts of gravity which Einstein incorporated in his General Theory Of Relativity.
.
3. The IMPACT OF GRAVITY, G UPON TIME.
First, it is said that gravity travels at the speed of light, no slower and no faster. Secondly, in addition to gravity impacting the shape of space, it has also been proven that gravity has its effects upon time. The closer one is to the source of gravity, THE SLOWER TIME PASSES by. The farther away you are from the center of gravity, THE FASTER TIME PASSES.
It would seem as if G & T(r) are inversely proportional to some extent. In other words, the greater the gravity, the less the rate at which time passes and visa versa. This might be represented by the equation. Thus, we might expand our previous equation to include gravity expressed as
V x G x T(r) = K (a fixed constant.)
or
(V x G) / L = K / C
Remembering Einstein said, "THE FASTER ONE TRAVELS, THE MORE MASS HE GAINS.", we can speculate that it may not be the increase of velocity that slows time directly. It may be that the increase in mass resulting from higher speed produces increased gravity that actually slows time. In this case we could simply omit V from our equation. But for now we will leave it in.
Now this equation may or may not be true, but it does help to understand the inverse relationships between TIME, GRAVITY, and SPEED. We know that G, gravity, is relative to mass. We know that V, velocity is relative to the distance between points in space and time. But we still do not know what the variable TIME is relative to.
.
4. MORE ABOUT GRAVITY "WARPING" SPACE.
Well before Einstein, it was Newton who first introduced the idea that two separate pieces of matter attracted each other via a direct force which he could compute. But when Einstein came along, the picture was changed from a direct force to an indirect force whereby spacetime served as an intermediary. Two pieces of matter in close proximity would come together as a result of their separate respective stretching or squeezing of spacetime and not as the result of a direct force between them.
Einstein finally came up with his equation of General Relativity,
G(uv)=(8pi G/C****)T(uv).
Where: G = Newtons Gravitational Constant
C = The Speed Of Light
pi = the usual irrational constant.
T(uv) = an energy-momentum tensor.
This involves mass, M, & velocity, V.
G(uv) = a curvature tensor.
This includes TIME ..
God only knows what this is,
but let me try to explain as I have heard.
The left side, G(uv), says that space-time is shaped by the right side which represents the distribution of matter. In other words, space-time is malleable, not some unknown infinity.
This may be all fine and dandy, but we need to know, "What is a tensor"?". In mathematics, a tensor is an algebraic object that describes a linear mapping from one set of algebraic objects to another. Objects that tensors may map between include, but are not limited to, vectors and scalars, and, recursively, even other tensors. Tensors are inherently related to vector spaces and their dual spaces, and can take several different forms – for example: a scalar, a vector, a dual vector at a point, or a multi-linear map between vector spaces. Euclidean vectors and scalars (which are often used in elementary physics and engineering applications where general relativity is irrelevant) are the simplest tensors.[1] While tensors are defined independent of any basis, the literature on physics often refers to them by their components in a basis related to a particular coordinate system. The third picture shown here is a diagram of a curvature tensor, but please do not ask me to explain it.
Even given all of this information, how in the world are we suppose to visualize it all.
Einstein said that gravity "warps" space-time. The 2nd attached picture is what has traditionally been known as the Trampoline example which is really pathetic. It is suppose to illustrate how a piece of material like earth causes a "gravity well" distortion in spacetime into which another piece of material (not shown) can fall. But this is really a mickey-mouse example, because it still relies upon there being a gravity force to pull the second piece of material down into its web. In addition to that, one might view this picture as the earth pushing spacetime away.
So just exactly what Einstein meant by "warping" space time is totally unclear. Did he mean to imply a pushing away force or a pulling force, because certainly it must be one of the two. Given the discovery of black holes, which Einstein initially uncovered, he must have meant "warping" as the result of a pulling force. But Einstein went a little further and claimed that gravity was a property of space-time. If this is the case, then it must be that every spacial point must be the source of a quantum gravity force, wherein matter enhances the attraction of spacial points like a piece of meat attracting flies.
At this point, I would like to compare Einstein's equation to what we previously came up with, ie, (V x G) / L = K / C.
Restating the equation, we have
L x K / C = V x G.
So now we can see the commonality between our equation and Einstein's equation on both the left and ride sides. We don't really care about what our arbitrary K / C is. All that counts is that the pertinent factors of time gravity and velocity are correct in their relationship to each other. And of course, Einstein's equation is more complete and correct.
.
5. VISUALIZING GRAVITY WARPING SPACE.
I find the typical Trampoline Picture of gravity warping space to be somewhat unacceptable in that it leads us to believe gravity pushes spacetime away. It would be better if the center of the earth were shown lower at the apex depicted. So let's see if we can come up with a more realistic picture.
If you will, imagine 2 bicycles wheels on a bike as in my example #3. The spokes on the wheels represent the force of gravity emanating radially outward from the center of each wheel where the respective masses are located. Einstein's claim is that the spacetime between the wheels is" warped" by the force of each wheel's gravity. So now, let's ask some questions.
a. WHICH DIRECTION IS FORCE OF GRAVITY OF EACH WHEEL (along the spokes of the wheel) ACTING RELATIVE TO THE WHEEL ON ITS OWN.? Either each wheel is pushing outward away from its center or pulling inward toward its center. This may sound like a stupid question, but Trampoline picture indicates a pushing rather than a pulling.
If the force of gravity were pushing away, then it would stand to reason that all matter would be highly compressed leaving no room for electrons to fly around the atom's nucleus. So obviously, the force of gravity must be a "pulling" force, which we all knew anyway. So gravity is an "attractive" force, not a "repelling" force.
b. UPON WHAT IS THE FORCE OF GRAVITY ACTING EITHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY? Obviously, the force of gravity acts upon two physical bodies, (ie, matter having mass). But Einstein claims that the resulting action is an indirect result of gravity "warping" spacetime. So how can this be? Again, the impact upon spacetime cannot be a "pushing" aside force, because if this were the case, the two bodies would avoid each other. So the two forces of gravity must be "pulling" upon spacetime. This makes it a tug-of-war upon spacetime between the two bodies. This means that spacetime itself must have some particle-like or quantum characteristic.BUT WHAT ?????
.

CHAPTER 2.
THE FABRIC OF SPACE, BLACK HOLES, AND THE ESSENCE OF TIME
.
A. PERCEPTION.
1. IRRATIONAL NUMBERS.
An irrational (or quasi irrational) number is a very unique in that it cannot be subdivided any further into equal parts.So in a certain sense, it has its own unique identity. No matter, it does not qualify as a very basic unit of measure, because any rational multiples of it result in constructions of the unmeasurable. Matter, being a construction of mass. cannot exist in irrational space. But an electromagnetic wave can and must partially exist in in irrational space, because it is based upon a periodic spin,which requires the use of the irrational constant, PI, in computing wavelength which too is irrational..
2. LET'S TALK ABOUT ZERO.
An irrational number is one which has no ending or repeating pattern after the decimal point. An irrational multiplied by an irrational number may or may not yield a rational number. But an irrational number multiplied by any rational number yields another irrational number, EXCEPT FOR "0" WHICH IS DEFINED TO BE A RATIONAL INTEGER. So quite obviously we have an exception that creates a contradiction when it comes to the number zero.
.
3. FURTHER INVESTIGATION, COLLAPSING SPHERES.
Now consider the case of a virtual circle or sphere collapsing upon its center point.
The definition of a circle or sphere is the locus of points equidistant from a point in space. In a 3D Cartesian reference system, a sphere is defined by R*2 = x*2 + y*2 + z*2., where R is the radius and x,y,z are the coordinates in space. It should be obvious that if R is 0, then x, y, & z are all 0. So far so good.
But another way of defining a sphere is by the rotation of a circle about an axis. And as we all know, C = 2R x PI, where R is the radius of a rational distance & C is the circumference, or the locus of points around the center point of the circle or sphere.
.
4. CONSISTENCY OF REASONING.
BUT PI IS IRRATIONAL, WHICH MEANS THAT C MUST BE IRRATIONAL, WHICH IN TURN MEANS THE LOCUS OF SOME OF THE POINTS EQUIDISTANT FROM THE CENTER ARE IRRATIONAL, WHILE OTHERS MAY BE RATIONAL. (Note: When z = 0 & x = 4 & y =3,; R = 5, all being rational points.) NOW WHEN R BECOMES ZERO (which we assume initially to be rational), THE IRRATIONAL POINTS WHICH WERE IN THE CIRCUMFERENCE ALL CONVERGE UPON WHAT WAS THE RATIONAL CENTER POINT AND MERGE INTO THAT CENTER POINT, THEREBY FORMING A POINT WHICH IS BOTH RATIONAL AND IRRATIONAL. THERE IS NO REASON TO BELIEVE THAT BECAUSE THE RADIUS HAS BECOME ZERO, THEN THOSE IRRATIONAL POINTS THAT FORMED THE CIRCUMFERENCE SIMPLY DISAPPEAR. IT IS MORE CONSISTENT TO VIEW THEM AS OVERLAYING THE RATIONAL CENTER POINT AND MERGING WITH THAT CENTER POINT. THIS IN TURN MEANS THAT ZERO MUST BE BOTH RATIONAL AND IRRATIONAL AT THE SAME TIME, NOT SIMPLY ONE OR THE OTHER. SO WHAT WE HAVE DONE HERE IS TO APPLY THE SUPER POSITION PRINCIPLE. FURTHERMORE, ALL POINTS IN SPACE MUST BE BOTH RATIONAL AND IRRATIONAL. BUT HOW CAN THIS BE? THE ONLY EXPLANATION IS THAT EACH POINT IN SPACE OSCILLATES BETWEEN THE RATIONAL STATE AND THE IRRATIONAL STATE.
.
5. FURTHER CONJECTURE.
AT THIS POINT WE NOW MUST ASK, "WHAT IS THE NATURE OF THIS OSCILLATION OF A POINT IN SPACE ?". THERE ARE THESE POSSIBILITIES
a. EACH POINT IN SPACE SIMPLY CHANGES ITS "COLOR" FROM RATIONAL TO IRRATIONAL AND BACK AGAIN. IN OTHER WORDS, IT IS SIMPLY REPETITIVELY EXPOSING TWO FACES OF THE SAME COIN.
b. EACH POINT IN SPACE HAS A LITTLE WIGGLE ROOM TO VIBRATE BETWEEN THE RATIONAL AND IRRATIONAL, BEING CONSTRAINED BY AN INFINITESIMAL IRRATIONAL DISTANCE.
c. EACH POINT IN SPACE EXPANDS AND CONTRACTS ITS RADIUS BETWEEN RATIONAL 0 AND THE SMALLEST IRRATIONAL DISTANCE, BEING CONSTRAINED BY THE INFINITESIMAL IRRATIONAL DISTANCE.
d. HOWEVER IN OBSERVING PARTICLE-WAVE DUALITY, CURRENT DAY QUANTUM PHYSICS HAS COME TO REGARD THE IDEA THAT A QUANTUM FORCE FIELD CAN BE SOMEWHAT INDEPENDENT OF MATTER AND OCCUPY SPACE WITHOUT IT HAVING A MASS. IT WAS THE PHOTON THAT FIRST GAVE RISE TO THIS IDEA, BECAUSE IT DEMONSTRATES THE PROPERTIES OF BEING A REAL MATERIAL PARTICLE WITH MASS AND
BEING A MASSLESS ENERGY WAVE. THIS IS KNOWN AS PARTICLE-WAVE DUALITY. SUCH BEING THE CASE, IT IS NOT UNTHINKABLE TO ACCEPT THE IDEA THAT OUR SPACIAL POINT COULD OSCILLATE BETWEEN BEING A MASSLESS FIELD AND A REAL PARTICLE HAVING MASS. IN OTHER WORDS, EACH POINT IN SPACE COULD BE WHAT i WOULD CALL A NOW-YOU-SEE-IT/NOW-YOU-DONT PARTICLE, AKA, A "NUCINUD" ENTITY, PROBABLY ALSO KNOW AS THE ELUSIVE GRAVITON PARTICLE.
e. If the preceding does hold water and IF THE OSCILLATIONS OF ALL POINTS ARE IN SYNC WITH EACH OTHER VIA SOME INTERCONNECTING LINKAGE BETWEEN POINTS (LIKE GRAVITY) , then it is reasonable to say that the fabric of all space is comprised of two subspaces, ie, the rational subspace and the irrational subspace. Based on this idea, we might even conjecture that all of space flips back and forth between the two subspaces, thereby creating a motion picture reality. (Note: Refer to the attached Minkowski graph and envision the x-y plane as progressing through time along the time axis in a flip-flop fashion between the rational an irrational.)
However, it may be that the oscillations of all points are asynchronous, ie, not in sync. And if this is true, then the concept of a synchronous and continuous time across all of space is ka-put, as well as the idea of there being any continuity across space-time.
.
6. RECAP - THE "NUCINUD" PARTICLE-POINT.
This writing has theorized the existence of a
NOW-YOU-SEE-IT-NOW-YOU-DONT (aka NUCINUD) PARTICLE-POINT of which all of space is composed.
1)The particle-point is said to oscillate in size from zero to some infinitesimal size. Furthermore, given the current day thinking that treats a massless force field (like a photon) as a real entity, it is conceivable that our nucinud particle-point could oscillate between being a massless force field and being a real particle with mass. This conforms to Einstein and quantum theory recognizing a force field as being independent of matter.
2)The particle-point is the source of gravity (a directional force field) and is enticed by matter to collect inside matter like a bunch of flies being attracted to dead meat. Because of its attraction to other points like itself, it may merge with those other points, thereby increasing the force of its own gravity. And because of its attraction to other particle-points like itself, any motion of the particle-point causes its domain and the domain of neighboring particle- points to be stretched. Furthermore, the particle-point's quantum gravity links it with its adjacent particle-points, thereby providing a linkage between all such particle-points and assuring a synchronous continuity of all space-time.
This conforms to Einstein declaring gravity to be a property of space-time.
3) The particle-point's oscillation period is slowed by the increased presence of its own gravity. This conforms to the observation that gravity slows down time.
4) In addition, there may be a force field that is orthogonal to the gravity force field in a relationship similar to the relationship of electricity to magnetism.
.
7. BLACK HOLES.
From the previous discussion about a collapsing virtual sphere, it should be obvious that this is exactly a description of matter collapsing into a black hole, the only difference being we have now added the presence of matter which exhibits the property of gravity.
If we consider matter to be composed of real rational points in space, then the radius of a black hole must be real, but its circumference, or EVENT HORIZON, must be irrational points in space. Either this or visa versa. No matter, this should give us some insight into the nature of space and matter at the quantum level, where current thought is focused upon multi-dimensionality, particle and string theory.
As a side note black holes having an extremely large mass are known to emit low frequency gravity waves, near sound, when they merge with another black hole. This is not to say that they do not also emit other very high frequency radiation, like gamma and x-rays.
.
.
B. POSTMORTEM.
.
1.. MY APOLOGY.
In association with QUANTUM THEORY, there appears to be a popular belief that there exists the smallest size that anything can exist. Quite obviously, in bringing up and applying IRRATIONAL numbers in my depiction of points in space, I have possibly created a schism about what the very smallest size that a thing can be. And quite obviously, I have diverted from current thinking of there being an absolute smallest particle size to thinking that the very smallest particle can completely disappear to zero size and reappear. In other words, we have a "NOW YOU SEE IT, NOW YOU DON'T" , aka NUCINUD, PARTICLE/SPACIAL-POINT. This may conflict with the PLANK CONSTANT idea of there being an absolute smallest size that never goes to zero.
If what I am saying is true, there remains a question as to the exact nature of time. That question is, " Is it not possible that each somewhat autonomous particle/point of space, by virtue of its oscillating size is somehow linked to its neighbors via an oscillating minute wave it produces?". And is it not then possible that the oscillations of all spacial-points be in sync with each other, thus producing the over all effect of time?". "Can each such a spacial point not be the generator of some isotropic radiation?".
.
2. A QUESTION OF UNIFORMITY BETWEEN GRAVITY & ELECTROMAGNETICS.
In electromagnetics, there are two interwoven but distinct forces, ie, electrical and magnetic. Could be there is a companion force orthogonal to gravity yet to be discovered?
Perhaps, time is orthogonal to gravity.
.
3. A POSSIBLE EXPLANATION FOR WHY THE WEAK NUCLEAR FORCE IS HELD IN CHECK BY THE STRONG NUCLEAR FORCE.
If the two forces are orthogonal to each other as with electro-magetics, then it may be that the weak nuclear force whose direction is a push outward is held in by an encircling strong nuclear force.
..
4. REBUTTLEMENTS:
a. POINTS IN SPACE HAVE NO PROPERTIES LIKE RATIONALITY OR IRRATIONALITY. THE DEFINITION OF A STRAIGHT LINE IS THE SHORTEST DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO POINTS, A & B. ONLY DISTANCE AND/OR TIME CAN BE IRRATIONAL.
ANSWER: Assume you have a "straight" line between points A & B, but the distance is "irrational". If the distance is a "straight" line, then you can never get exactly from point A to point B, because you will either fall short of point B or skip over it claiming to hit point B. So obviously something is amiss.
The possible explanation for this is that something diverted your trip very slightly, causing you not to go in a "straight" line as you presumed. What could that be? Either:
1). You "locus" of points took you slightly off course through an intermediate "irrational point,
or
2). Some mysterious force "bent" your path along the way.
Now consider the distance between A & B as shrinking almost to zero, but it is still irrational. Either that irrational intermediate point is still there or that mysterious force is still there. And as we collapse that distance to zero, there is no reason to believe that anything has changed. Thus, the point must take on the properties of what was exterior to it.

CHAPTER 3.
THE BIG BANG.
.
I. CURRENT UNDERSTANDING.
As a result of both scientific and technological advancement over the last century, it has become pretty clear that our universe began with a BIG BANG. Whether it was caused by a collision of some preexisting entities or caused by the immediate appearance out of nowhere of a singularity. ie a "POINT" may be a concern, but it should be obvious that were it a collision of preexisting entities, then the universe must have existed before the collision, which leads one to question how those entities came about. Therefore, the more reasonable viewpoint is to regard it as starting from a singularity, thereby eliminating the endless search for a beginning.
This BIG BANG CREATION THEORY tells us that both space, time and matter were all created immediately 13.8 billion years ago from a singularity that erupted into an explosion, with matter evolving from a super-heated plasma, that turned into the basic particles of the atom as it cooled, that turned into hydrogen and helium atoms, that turned into stars, which in turn created the heavier elements we know of today. It also tells us that light was created which was everywhere all at once and which ultimately turned into microwaves and can be found today as CMB, COSMIC MICROWAVE BACKGROUND noise that still travel everywhere in the universe.
.
II. QUESTIONS:
.
A. SOME SCIENTIST ARGUE THAT THE UNIVERSE IS A
"ISOLATED SYSTEM".
The word, "SYSTEM", implies some degree of enclosure, and therefore an entity that can be somewhat described. The word "DESCRIBE" also implies an enclosure since the syllable "SCRIBE" means to circumnavigate or enclose.
To point out the differences in system types, science recognizes 3 kinds of systems:
1. "ISOLATED" where neither energy or matter can escape.
An "isolated" system is one completely enclosed an
sealed off. The 2ND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS
pertains to this kind of system. So it may be that some
scientists opt for this type of universe to preserve that
law.
2. "CLOSED" where energy can escape, but not matter.
In other words, there is a small exit.
3. "OPENED" where both energy and matter can escape.
This latter type of system should be self-evident.
At this point let us consider some possible semmetrical enclosures of the universe. We will exclude the unsemmetrical, because they could be like fractals and just too difficult to apply simple math.
So considering only the symmetrical, we have only four possibilities
1. A TETRAHEDRON
2. A CUBE
3. A DODECAHEDRON.
4. A SPHERE.
So which of these would be the most realistic to enclose our universe? Certainly not the first three, because it is most unlikely that our universe would have sharp edges as required by a polyhedron. That leaves us with a sphere.
So let's go back and see if a sphere really is representative of our universe being an isolated system. If the universe is indeed "isolated" and spherical , then there must be a discernable boundary at a rational distance from its center. And if the universe is spherical, then its surface must contain some irrational points as we saw previously in our discussion of a point. This must mean our sphere has holes in it, making it impossible to be an isolated enclosed system.
Of course it can be argued that the universe is not a perfect sphere. But if that is true, then how do you account for what must have been the typical symmetrical radiation pattern of
a shock wave or dispersion of what-ever that is typical of an explosion?
So I would like to know what proof these scientist have of the universe being an isolated system? Have they in fact ventured to the outer boundaries and found all of the doors shut.? Or are they just being lazy, arrogant and closed minded?
Of course, isolation of variables is essential to understanding the cause and effect of things. But to claim that the Universe is always an isolated entity is beyond all reason. There is no such thing as always or never. Gates open and gates close, and we know not when, where, and/or by what means or who.
.
B. WHAT THIS, NO CENTER TO THE UNIVERSE?
Scientists are telling us per Google,
"There is no centre of the universe! According to the standard theories of cosmology, the universe started with a "Big Bang" about 14 thousand million years ago and has been expanding ever since. Yet there is no centre to the expansion; it is the same everywhere."
Apparently scientists do not consider the original spot where the Big Bang started as part of the universe. This could only mean that the universe is sandwiched in between two concentric spheres, assuming a symmetrical explosion. If the explosion was non-semmetrical, then the universe would still be sandwiched in between an outer layer and an inner layer, assuming the point of the explosion was surrounded by all the debris which is not unreasonable. But then again, one might conjecture the universe as being a smoke ring blown through a tiny hole. One could almost imagine God smoking a pipe and blowing a smoke ring. He may be even blowing more than one smoke ring, thereby creating multi-verses No matter, there must be a center point of origin and regardless of whether or not scientist include it as part of the universe.
.
C. LOOKING INTO THE DISTANT PAST.
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT WE ARE LOOKING FARTHER BACK INTO TIME AS WE PEER DEEPER INTO SPACE?
We must begin with the fact that there is nothing that can travel faster than light. And because of the vast distances between galaxies, it can take millions of light years for the light from a far distant galaxy to reach our galaxy. This means that an immense amount of time has past by the time we see the light, which means we are looking at history.
With the advent of space travel, our imaginations can go wild with the idea of visiting distant galaxies. Yet science tells us that the deeper we peer into space, then the farther back in time we go. But to be more precise, the deeper we look into space, we see light (or electromagnetic radiation) emitted long, long ago. So this raises the question, "If what we are seeing now actually occurred millions of years ago, then how do we know those objects are still there?" If in truth they are not presently there, then is there really any point in trying to converse with them, let alone attempt to travel to them? This not to say we should not even bother to be aware and study these past events. But they need to be recognized as historical events long past that should not necessarily effect our current day presence.
For an observer to say, "I just saw new stars being born" is not necessarily correct. It is more honest to say "I have seen stars that were born x years ago". To him I would say "If you are going to travel to some distant star, don't be surprised if it is gone before you get there.
Edwin Hubble discovered that the universe appears to be expanding due to the "Doppler Red Shift" he observed of light coming from very distant stars.. From that we have concluded that the more distant starts are "accelerating" away, leading us to theorize that the universe is expanding as a whole attributed to the existence 'dark energy".
But there is something troubling about this. WHAT IS THE POINT THEY ARE EXPANDING FROM? WHERE IS THE CENTER POINT OF THE EXPLOSION? CAN WE NOT SEE LIGHT FROM DISTANT GALAXIES DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM US ON THE OTHER SIDE? WHAT IF THOSE MORE DISTANT STARS ARE NOT RECEDING AWAY FROM US LINEARLY, BUT ARE ACTUALLY CIRCULATING AROUND THE EDGES OF THE UNIVERSE?" IT WOULD STILL BE POSSIBLE TO OBSERVE A RED SHIFT AT THE RIGHT TIMES RELATIVE TO THE POSITION OF THE EARTH? These very simple questions remain to be answered by science, not some arbitrary statements of there being no center or that the universe is an isolated system. If you don't know, then say you don't know.

3. REFERENCE SYSTEMS RESTRICTION..
A reference system within the rational sub-space cannot be used to measure distances to points within the irrational sub-space, and visa versa. The ability to measure distance is restricted to the sub-space in which the measurement is being made.
4. The role of "TIME"
It may be that "time" is the resolving factor between rational space and irrational space. Therefore, it makes sense to speak of "space-time" as one complete entity.
E. IS THE VANISHING POINT ONE OR MANY?
Certainly someone has already considered this question, but just in case, I bring it up now.
Suppose two people are standing at opposite poles of the earth, each looking straight up. The question is;
"ARE THEY LOOKING AT DIFFERENT POINTS IN SPACE OR THE SAME ONE?'. This may sound like a stupid question, but it does deserve an answer, because we do know now that light does bend. If they are in fact the same point in space, then as we gaze into the heavens to the farthest light source from no matter where, are we not starring at the original single point of the Big Bang? And if true, then the universe is a CLOSED SYSTEM that happens to be expanding at the moment, possibly causing the effect of time.
Here are some observations.
As has been known for many centuries in art, as you look at something from an increasing distances, the smaller it becomes until it completely vanishes into a single point. Imagine a perfect cross whose limbs are the same length,d. The farther away you move from it (say distance D), the shorter the limb lengths appear. It would almost seem as if there is an inversely proportional relationship between D & d, whereby D x d = Constant K. This observation seems to hold true no matter in what direction you are looking. However, If we now take a larger cross whose limbs are of length s, we now have to be at a farther distance, S, from it before it vanishes. And where S x s = Constant C, it does not follow that Constant C = Constant K unless there is some other mitigating factor, like time, to produce some fixed universal constant X. Perhaps something like X = K/T(d) = C/T(s), where T(d) might be the time it takes light to travel the distance D & T(s) is the time for light to travel the distance S. But this is just mere conjecture.
Here is another view on the vanishing point which could contradict the idea of it being a single point. Instead of a cross made of wood, imagine the cross is made of two strings. You grab one of the strings at the center and begin to pull. The ends of the string are not secured, but have heavy weights on
them so they can reluctantly move. As you pull, the string beings to bend, and the two ends come closer together. If you pull long enough, the two ends will come together as if they were one.
In this analogy, the string you are pulling on is actually the separate light beams of each point along the lateral length of the string (or coss). And the light beams from each end of the string converge into one before those other light beams emitted from the points closer to the center of the string. In other words, the light being emitted from the cross is bending to the vanishing point where all visibility of the cross is gone.
Of course, this too is conjecture, but it does destroy the prior view. And it further falls in line with the idea that it takes a longer time for the light from the ends of the cross to reach your eye than the light from the center of the cross.

FROM THE VERY SMALL TO THE BIG BANG.
( Introduction & Chapter 1 history of science complete)
INTRODUCTION. - TIME AND SPACE.
What does it mean when we say that time passes by faster or more slowly? What are we really saying?
We are talking about the "rate", T(r), at which time passes, which can also be thought of as a "frequency" similar to electromagnetic radiation. In this analogy, do not confuse long wave length, L, with higher frequency. Longer wave length means slower time rate or frequency which means the slower time passes. The greater the rate (or frequency) of time tics, the faster time passes, and visa versa. A more visual way to see it, imagine a timeline with the tics of a clock separating equal segments, L, of time. The slower time flows, the longer each time segment, L, will be, meaning the rate, T(r), will be less. The exact equation relating frequency to wave length is
L x T(r) = C, the constant speed of light
Now you ask, "How can we talk about the "fabric" of space when there is nothing there?". It was Einstein who first proclaimed that space and gravity interact, claiming that gravity warps space. Now I accept this idea, although it could be that space shapes gravity. No matter, it seems obvious from this that there is something in space we cannot see, and therefore we can speak of space as if it were a "fabric" or maybe even a fluid.
.
This document is a pure mathematical viewpoint and reasoning in an attempt to better understand what science has been telling us today about quantum theory and cosmology .
IT IS A KEY THEME OF THIS DOCUMENT THAT ONE CANNOT TRAVEL AN IRRATIONAL OR A QUASI-IRRATIONAL DISTANCE WITHIN THE SPACIAL REALITY OF WHICH WE ARE CURRENTLY AWARE. HOWEVER, THAT FACT DOES NOT MEAN THERE ARE NO IRRATIONAL POINTS IN A SEPARATE SPACE OF WHICH WE ARE NOT AWARE. NOR DOES IT MEAN THAT A STATE OF IRRATIONALITY CANNOT TEMPORARILY EXIST WITHIN THE SPACIAL REALITY OF WHICH WE ARE AWARE.THE PERSPECTIVE TAKEN HEREIN IS THAT THERE EXISTS A RATIONAL SUBSPACE AND AN IRRATIONAL SUBSPACE, THE TWO COMPRISING ALL OF SPACE.,
The first chapter presents:
1. the algebraic symbology I use,
2. some key mathematical & scientific information & equations handed down to us,
3. some pertinent scientific history.
Where the reader may skip over the first two sections of this chapter, using those sections only for quick reference, the reader should not skip anything after that lest he become lost in comprehending anything that has evolved in science since the days of Einstein.
The second chapter deals with the very small, ie, quantum theory, space and apparent nothingness.
The third chapter deals with the very large, ie, the BIG BANG . Both the very small and very large are described as contracting and expanding spheres, the commonality being found in the concept of a virtual singularity, ie, a "point".
In this document, I question some of the following contemporary and conventional wisdom
1. ZERO IS ALWAYS A RATIONAL NUMBER.
2. NOTHING IS SMALLER THAN PLANKS CONSTANT.
3 THERE IS NO AETHER.
4. THERE IS NO CENTER TO THE UNIVERSE.
5. THE UNIVERSE IS AN ISOLATED SYSTEM.
6..COSMIC MICROWAVE BACKGROUND NOISE IS STRETCHED OUT LIGHT FROM THE BIG BANG.
Only the first 5 do I seriously question.

CHAPTER 1.
SYMBOL LEGEND, ABOUT NUMBERS, & SCIENTIFIC HISTORY.
.
.
A. Before proceeding , here is a legend of the symbols I will use:
CONSTANTS:
C = the constant speed of light in a vacuum
G(n) = Newton's gravitational constant
PI = C(c)/D(d) = 3.14......
H = Plank's constant = 6.62 x 10**(-34)
W = Wien's Constant = .00294 degree-meters
K = unimportant constant
VARIABLES:
V(n) = Newton's velocity
A(n) = Newton's acceleration
M(i) = Newton's inertial mass
F(n) = Newton's force variable
G(f) = Newton's force of gravity
T = time
T(t) = temperature absolute
T(r) = the rate of time = F(r)
F(r) = frequency or radiation frequency
S(r) spin rate
L = wave length
A(r) = wave amplitude
D(d) = linear/longitudinal distance
S(d) = sinusoidal distance
R (c) = radius
D(c) = diameter
C(c) = circumference
E = work/energy
n =an integer quantum number
I may drop the subscript when the context in which the symbol appears is clear or if there is no other use of the capital letter..
In addition, the following equations are observed:
F(n) = M x A Newton's equation
E = F(n) x d Newton's definition of work/energy
E = n x H x F(r) Plank's Law
E = M x C** Einsteins Law
L x F(r) = C Maxwell equation
T(t) x L max = W Wien's Temperature-Wave Length Law
where:
x = multiplication operator
/ = division operator
* = exponential operator
.
.
B. A WORD ABOUT NUMBERS.
Numbers give us a way of measuring things..
And the ability to measure requires the ability to divide that which is being measured into smaller, but equal, parts.
Another word for measuring is "QUANTIFICATION" which gives us a little clue into the meaning of "QUANTUM THEORY". Numbers are also used to label.
There are different kinds of numbers, some of which can be divided into equal parts, and others not so. There are WHOLE NUMBERS aka INTEGERS, ODD & EVEN NUMBERS, PRIMARY NUMBERS, REAL NUMBERS, IMAGINARY NUMBERS, FRACTIONAL NUMBERS, etc...
But here I am focusing upon IRRATIONAL NUMBERS
.
1. An IRRATIONAL NUMBER is one in which there is no end to non-repeating numbers to the right of the decimal point.
2. PI is an irrational number.
3. With the exception of zero, an irrational number multiplied times any rational or irrational number yields an irrational number. The same is true of division. The same is true of addition and subtraction, except when two irrational numbers whose numbers to the right of the decimal point yield a zero sum.
4. There are at least four times more irrational numbers than rational numbers. This is because any mathematical operation ( + - x /) between a rational number and an irrational number always yields an irrational number.
5. There being no distinct classification for numbers that have a repeating non-zero number sequence to the right of the decimal point, I call these QUASI IRRATIONAL NUMBERS. Example: 1/3 = .3333333....
.
.
C. BEFORE EINSTEIN
.
.
1. THE DUAL NATURE OF LIGHT. WAVE-PARTICLE DUALITY.
Even before Einstein, scientists had narrowed down the speed of light, C. And for centuries, scientist had at some times considered light to be a particle (now called a photon), while at other times considered it to be an electromagnetic wave. Newton and Huygens in the 17th century were among the first to really study light. Newton supported the particle idea and Huygens supported the wave idea. Then early in the 19th century, Young demonstrated his Double Slit experiment that emphasized the wave idea. Others continued like Michelson/Morley, with Einstein and others following up to give us quantum theory.
What has since evolved is a very complicated picture of the photon being both a particle and a wave. This being the case, let me try to draw a simple straight forward analogy of this duality.
Envision a wheel of your car. This is representative of a photon. Imagine a huge polarized bar magnet stuck perfectly to the wheel across its diameter from one edge, through the center, and to the other edge of the wheel. Now, before you begin to drive it, assume the car is up on blocks lifting the wheels off the ground. You start the engine, engage the wheels, step on the gas and observe the revolutions per minute, rpms. For this example, we assume that the rpms is the same as the rate at which the wheel spins and is the SPIN FREQUENCY, S(r). The spin frequency produces the periodic motion of the magnet's poles which generate an oscillating electromagnetic field of radiation having a frequency of F(r). So the spin rate, S(r), and the frequency, F(r), are one and the same. The resulting radiated wavelength, L, is the same as the circumference, C(r), of the wheel. And the wave's amplitude, A, is the radius, R, of the wheel. Meanwhile, the path of the magnet's north pole is a circle relative to both the ground and the center of the wheel. In short, what we have here is an electromagnetic wave of frequency F(r) and wavelength L that travels at the speed of light C.
Now you lower the car to the ground and begin to drive it at the same revolutions per minute as before Relative to the car, the magnet is still generating the same electromagnetic radiation and has the same frequency and wave length and amplitude as before. And the path of the magnet's north pole motion relative to the center of the wheel is still a circle. But now we ask 'WHAT IS THE PATH OF THE MAGNET'S NORTH POLE MOTION RELATIVE TO AN OBSERVER ON THE GROUND AS THE CAR IS MOVING LONGITUDINALLY? THE ANSWER IS "A SIGN WAVE" WHICH STILL HAS THE SAME AMPLITUDE. BUT EVERYTHING ELSE IS DIFFERENT WITH REGARDS TO FREQUENCY AND WAVELENGTH OF THE GENERATED ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD. .
Going a little further, let's look at what the electromagnetic radiation looks like to our observer standing still in front of your car as you drive towards him. To such an observer, the fact of your velocity towards him compresses the peak-to-peak wavelength of the generated electromagnetic wave. This means a shorter wavelength, which in turn means higher frequency. Were the observer standing behind your car, the opposite would be true. The wavelength would get longer and the frequency would be less. This is called Doppler Frequency Shifting
To this point, our analogy may not be complete, the reason being that the wavelength of the generated electromagnetic wave was in sync with the linear longitudinal distance traveled by 1 complete revolution of the wheel. Suppose the spinning magnet is not attached to the wheel, but instead is inside the car and not spinning at the same rate as the car's wheels.
No matter, the same Doppler Frequency Shift will occur, maybe not the same as before, but it will still occur as long as your car is moving. It is the same type of Doppler Frequency Shift as when you hear a train whistle go from a high pitch to a low pitch as it passes by you. So now we see that there can be a distinct difference between the actual periodic spin speed, ie, frequency, and the observed frequency depending upon the relative motion between the electromagnetic wave source and the observer.
This analogy of a photon may not be exactly correct. Certainly it does not cover all of the intricacies of light, especially Huygens view that light appears to replicate and distribute itself at every point in space. Although Huygens did not support the particle view, his theory seems to be liken to a cue ball hitting a racked up set of balls on a pool table. No matter, I hope this presents at least some idea of how the wave-particle duality idea works.
.
2. IS PLANKS CONSTANT THE SMALLEST LENGTH?
Even before Einstein, Max Plank made a very important empirical finding establishing a relationship between energy and radiant frequency. It is called PLANKS LAW expressed as E = HF(r),
where E is energy, F(r) is frequency and H is Planks constant.
It is said that the smallest length of distance is PLANKS CONSTANT which is 6.62 x 10**(-34) and that nothing can exists that is smaller than this. If we substitute MC**(2) for energy and C/£ for frequency, where M is mass, C is the speed of light, & £ is wave length, then we can come up with
M£ = 2/3 x 10**(-26).
What is important here is that mass and wave length are inversely proportional to each other.
THEREFORE, IF A POINT IN SPACE HAS NO MASS, THEN ITS WAVELENGTH IS AN INFINITE STRAIGHT LINE WHOSE FREQUENCY IS C/infinity, AKA ZERO.
So what is the reasoning behind saying that nothing can be smaller than PLANKS CONSTANT? Is this seemingly just another arbitrary restriction similar to saying that 0 must only be rational number, and not irrational?
.
D. CATCHING UP WITH EINSTEIN.
Einstein first came out with his SPECIAL THEORY OF RELATIVITY which dealt with two reference systems in motion at a constant speed relative to each other. His findings here included the further study of light which gave us his famous equation, E = MC**. He subsequently came out with his theory of GENERAL RELATIVITY which dealt with two reference systems in variable motions relative to each other, meaning they accelerated and or decelerated relative to each other, which in turn brought into play the consideration of gravity.
Einstein's findings, along with those of his contemporary scientists, eventually gave us the theory of the atom and quantum theory. I should mention here that quantum theory appears to be an attempt to find the smallest practical unit of measure with respect to describing and measuring atomic and subatomic particles and energies.The word "QUANTA" is singular and refers to a single package constituting a unit of measure of vary small particles, like photons and electrons, or packets of energy levels. The word "QUANTUM" is plural and expresses n number of quanta, where n can only be an integer. which is not irrational..
.
1 The IMPACT OF VELOCITY, V, UPON TIME.
Einstein, in his first studies of light, proclaimed that, "THE FASTER ONE TRAVELS, THE SLOWER THE RATE OF TIME AND VISA VERSA. So here we see VELOCITY, V, aka SPEED BASED UPON TIME AND DISTANCE, changing the rate at which time passes.. In other words, the greater the speed, V, the less the rate at which time, T(r), passes and visa versa. It would seem as if V & T(r) are inversely proportional to some extent & can be expressed mathematically as:
V x T(r) = K (a fixed constant.)
But T(r) = C / L, where
C = the speed of light
L = the wave length of time,
ie, the distance between tics of the clock.
Therefore, V / L = K / C
In addition to this, Einstein went on to say, "THE FASTER ONE TRAVELS, THE MORE MASS HE GAINS.". We will remember this when we get to gravity.
.
2. THE INCLUSION OF TIME AS A DIMENSION & ITS GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATION.
In his Special Theory Of Relativity, Einstein addressed the relativistic issues of pure motion and time, the result being his recognition of time as a 4th dimension. But apparently he was somewhat remiss in his depicting graphical reference system of how space and time could could be represented. He relied upon another mathematician, Minkowski. One of the pictures attached here is that of Minkowski's graphical concept of space-time which most physicists agree upon. Part of the trick in understanding it is to realize that distance can be represented as time ASSUMING THE SPEED OF LIGHT IS THE UNIT OF MEASURE ALONG THE TIME AXIS. So there is very little difference from the old 3-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system in that regard. But in addition Minkowski added what is called a LIGHT CONE. Now I do not pretend to know what this light-cone purports to represent, but my best guess is that it is representative of the dispersion of light over time. But do not bet on it.
Speaking of reference systems, Einstein played with Non-Euclidian reference systems, envisioning manifolds and Gaussian Field representations. He did so making a distinction between an INERTIAL REFERENCE SYSTEM wherein the reference system is considered to be at absolute rest as opposed to a separate NON-INERTIAL REFERENCE SYSTEM which is moving with respect to an inertial reference system. This is so, because every person has their own unique frame of reference that move with respect to others.
Anyway let's move onward to the more interesting concepts of gravity which Einstein incorporated in his General Theory Of Relativity.
.
3. The IMPACT OF GRAVITY, G UPON TIME.
First, it is said that gravity travels at the speed of light, no slower and no faster. Secondly, in addition to gravity impacting the shape of space, it has also been proven that gravity has its effects upon time. The closer one is to the source of gravity, THE SLOWER TIME PASSES by. The farther away you are from the center of gravity, THE FASTER TIME PASSES.
It would seem as if G & T(r) are inversely proportional to some extent. In other words, the greater the gravity, the less the rate at which time passes and visa versa. This might be represented by the equation. Thus, we might expand our previous equation to include gravity expressed as
V x G x T(r) = K (a fixed constant.)
or
(V x G) / L = K / C
Remembering Einstein said, "THE FASTER ONE TRAVELS, THE MORE MASS HE GAINS.", we can speculate that it may not be the increase of velocity that slows time directly. It may be that the increase in mass resulting from higher speed produces increased gravity that actually slows time. In this case we could simply omit V from our equation. But for now we will leave it in.
Now this equation may or may not be true, but it does help to understand the inverse relationships between TIME, GRAVITY, and SPEED. We know that G, gravity, is relative to mass. We know that V, velocity is relative to the distance between points in space and time. But we still do not know what the variable TIME is relative to.
.
4. MORE ABOUT GRAVITY "WARPING" SPACE.
Well before Einstein, it was Newton who first introduced the idea that two separate pieces of matter attracted each other via a direct force which he could compute. But when Einstein came along, the picture was changed from a direct force to an indirect force whereby spacetime served as an intermediary. Two pieces of matter in close proximity would come together as a result of their separate respective stretching or squeezing of spacetime and not as the result of a direct force between them.
Einstein finally came up with his equation of General Relativity,
G(uv)=(8pi G/C****)T(uv).
Where: G = Newtons Gravitational Constant
C = The Speed Of Light
pi = the usual irrational constant.
T(uv) = an energy-momentum tensor.
This involves mass, M, & velocity, V.
G(uv) = a curvature tensor.
This includes TIME ..
God only knows what this is,
but let me try to explain as I have heard.
The left side, G(uv), says that space-time is shaped by the right side which represents the distribution of matter. In other words, space-time is malleable, not some unknown infinity.
This may be all fine and dandy, but we need to know, "What is a tensor"?". In mathematics, a tensor is an algebraic object that describes a linear mapping from one set of algebraic objects to another. Objects that tensors may map between include, but are not limited to, vectors and scalars, and, recursively, even other tensors. Tensors are inherently related to vector spaces and their dual spaces, and can take several different forms – for example: a scalar, a vector, a dual vector at a point, or a multi-linear map between vector spaces. Euclidean vectors and scalars (which are often used in elementary physics and engineering applications where general relativity is irrelevant) are the simplest tensors.[1] While tensors are defined independent of any basis, the literature on physics often refers to them by their components in a basis related to a particular coordinate system. The third picture shown here is a diagram of a curvature tensor, but please do not ask me to explain it.
Even given all of this information, how in the world are we suppose to visualize it all.
Einstein said that gravity "warps" space-time. The 2nd attached picture is what has traditionally been known as the Trampoline example which is really pathetic. It is suppose to illustrate how a piece of material like earth causes a "gravity well" distortion in spacetime into which another piece of material (not shown) can fall. But this is really a mickey-mouse example, because it still relies upon there being a gravity force to pull the second piece of material down into its web. In addition to that, one might view this picture as the earth pushing spacetime away.
So just exactly what Einstein meant by "warping" space time is totally unclear. Did he mean to imply a pushing away force or a pulling force, because certainly it must be one of the two. Given the discovery of black holes, which Einstein initially uncovered, he must have meant "warping" as the result of a pulling force. But Einstein went a little further and claimed that gravity was a property of space-time. If this is the case, then it must be that every spacial point must be the source of a quantum gravity force, wherein matter enhances the attraction of spacial points like a piece of meat attracting flies.
At this point, I would like to compare Einstein's equation to what we previously came up with, ie, (V x G) / L = K / C.
Restating the equation, we have
L x K / C = V x G.
So now we can see the commonality between our equation and Einstein's equation on both the left and ride sides. We don't really care about what our arbitrary K / C is. All that counts is that the pertinent factors of time gravity and velocity are correct in their relationship to each other. And of course, Einstein's equation is more complete and correct.
.
5. VISUALIZING GRAVITY WARPING SPACE.
I find the typical Trampoline Picture of gravity warping space to be somewhat unacceptable in that it leads us to believe gravity pushes spacetime away. It would be better if the center of the earth were shown lower at the apex depicted. So let's see if we can come up with a more realistic picture.
If you will, imagine 2 bicycles wheels on a bike.
The spokes on the wheels represent the force of gravity emanating radially outward from the center of each wheel where the respective masses are located. Einstein's claim is that the spacetime between the wheels is" warped" by the force of each wheel's gravity. So now, let's ask some questions.
a. WHICH DIRECTION IS FORCE OF GRAVITY OF EACH WHEEL (along the spokes of the wheel) ACTING RELATIVE TO THE WHEEL ON ITS OWN.? Either each wheel is pushing outward away from its center or pulling inward toward its center. This may sound like a stupid question, but Trampoline picture indicates a pushing rather than a pulling.
If the force of gravity were pushing away, then it would stand to reason that all matter would be highly compressed leaving no room for electrons to fly around the atom's nucleus. So obviously, the force of gravity must be a "pulling" force, which we all knew anyway. So gravity is an "attractive" force, not a "repelling" force.
b. UPON WHAT IS THE FORCE OF GRAVITY ACTING EITHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY? Obviously, the force of gravity acts upon two physical bodies, (ie, matter having mass). But Einstein claims that the resulting action is an indirect result of gravity "warping" spacetime. So how can this be? Again, the impact upon spacetime cannot be a "pushing" aside force, because if this were the case, the two bodies would avoid each other. So the two forces of gravity must be "pulling" upon spacetime. This makes it a tug-of-war upon spacetime between the two bodies. This means that spacetime itself must have some particle-like or quantum characteristic.BUT WHAT ?????
.
6. CAN ANYTHING EXIST WITHOUT MASS?
First let us be clear in our understanding of "mass". "Mass" is "inertia", ie, the resistance to any forces being applied to "mass". It is not weight. In addition, "mass" can be thought of as the storehouse of energy. In a similar manner, "mass" might also be a storehouse for gravity.
It would seem the answer to our question is both yes and no. Intuition and our equations tell us "no". But quantum theory has come up with the SUPER POSITION PRINCIPLE which says if there are two possible states, A & B, for something, then it is possible for any combination of aA + bB to exist. So this could imply that the answer to our question is "yes". In addition, science is telling us that the photon has no mass, but has an energy level of
H x F(r) with Spin = 1 quantum.
So here again the answer appears to be "yes".
This latter statement of the massless photon does appear to totally contradict
E= M x C** = n x H x F(r).
This may be due to the fact that the energy of a single photon is so low that its mass is negligible. It takes 3.2 x 10**(18) photon to generate 1 joule of energy. 1 joule = .000000239 calories, so you can see there is very little energy in a photon. To arrive at more meaningful measurement results, scientists have lumped many, many photons in packets called quantums and that serve as a unit of measure.
.
7. IS THE PHOTON THE BASIC ELEMENT OF ALL SPACE?
Thus far, we have concluded that spacetime must have some seemingly massless particle-like attribute that enables it to respond to the gravitational forces of matter. The one known particle that could qualify as a candidate is the photon.
At this point, I return to the 17th century scientist, Huygen, who said that light is a wave that at each point in space along the way it generates "wavelets" which in turn generate subsequent wavelets. Thus light is propagated like ball colliding with other balls on a pool table, only his analogy was the wave action of water.
So might not those balls on the pool table be representative of photons at rest in each point of spacetime? Might not every point in spacetime really be a photon? "But wait", you say. "Then would not all of spacetime be lighted up?". Answer - "Not if the photon is not spinning". "But," you say. "Is a photon affected by gravity/". Answer - "Yes it is". It has been proven that gravity does bend light rays.
.
8. WHAT ABOUT THE LONG DISMISSED AETHER CONCEPT?
.
At this point, we can speculate that every point in space is a photon. But it does seem to fly in the face of a theory dismissed by experiment back in the late 1800s, ie, the Michelson/Morley experiment. That theory claimed that space was comprised of Aether particles and reasoned that the speed of the earth through it could be determined like a rowboat trying to cross a river. The experiment failed, resulting in the dismissal of there being any such thing as an Aether.
But now here we are again reconsidering the proposition.
Sufifcia to say, if the massless photon is the particle of spacetime, then it would offer no resistance to the earth flowing through it. In other words, the analogy of a boat crossing a flowing river is incorrect.
.
.
.
CHAPTER 2.
THE FABRIC OF SPACE, BLACK HOLES, AND THE ESSENCE OF TIME
I could easily stop at this point, satisfied that the question of the fabric of spacetime is answered. But I have more on my plate, ie, irrational numbers.
.
A. PERCEPTION.
1. IRRATIONAL NUMBERS.
An irrational (or quasi irrational) number is a very unique in that it cannot be subdivided any further into equal parts.So in a certain sense, it has its own unique identity. No matter, it does not qualify as a very basic unit of measure, because any rational multiples of it result in constructions of the unmeasurable. Matter, being a construction of mass. cannot exist in irrational space. But an electromagnetic wave can and must partially exist in in irrational space, because it is based upon a periodic spin,which requires the use of the irrational constant, PI, in computing wavelength which too is irrational..
2. LET'S TALK ABOUT ZERO.
An irrational number is one which has no ending or repeating pattern after the decimal point. An irrational multiplied by an irrational number may or may not yield a rational number. But an irrational number multiplied by any rational number yields another irrational number, EXCEPT FOR "0" WHICH IS DEFINED TO BE A RATIONAL INTEGER. So quite obviously we have an exception that creates a contradiction when it comes to the number zero.
.
3. FURTHER INVESTIGATION, COLLAPSING SPHERES.
Now consider the case of a virtual circle or sphere collapsing upon its center point.
The definition of a circle or sphere is the locus of points equidistant from a point in space. In a 3D Cartesian reference system, a sphere is defined by R*2 = x*2 + y*2 + z*2., where R is the radius and x,y,z are the coordinates in space. It should be obvious that if R is 0, then x, y, & z are all 0. So far so good.
But another way of defining a sphere is by the rotation of a circle about an axis. And as we all know, C = 2R x PI, where R is the radius of a rational distance & C is the circumference, or the locus of points around the center point of the circle or sphere.
.
4. CONSISTENCY OF REASONING.
BUT PI IS IRRATIONAL, WHICH MEANS THAT C MUST BE IRRATIONAL, WHICH IN TURN MEANS THE LOCUS OF SOME OF THE POINTS EQUIDISTANT FROM THE CENTER ARE IRRATIONAL, WHILE OTHERS MAY BE RATIONAL. (Note: When z = 0 & x = 4 & y =3,; R = 5, all being rational points.) NOW WHEN R BECOMES ZERO (which we assume initially to be rational), THE IRRATIONAL POINTS WHICH WERE IN THE CIRCUMFERENCE ALL CONVERGE UPON WHAT WAS THE RATIONAL CENTER POINT AND MERGE INTO THAT CENTER POINT, THEREBY FORMING A POINT WHICH IS BOTH RATIONAL AND IRRATIONAL. THERE IS NO REASON TO BELIEVE THAT BECAUSE THE RADIUS HAS BECOME ZERO, THEN THOSE IRRATIONAL POINTS THAT FORMED THE CIRCUMFERENCE SIMPLY DISAPPEAR. IT IS MORE CONSISTENT TO VIEW THEM AS OVERLAYING THE RATIONAL CENTER POINT AND MERGING WITH THAT CENTER POINT. THIS IN TURN MEANS THAT ZERO MUST BE BOTH RATIONAL AND IRRATIONAL AT THE SAME TIME, NOT SIMPLY ONE OR THE OTHER. SO WHAT WE HAVE DONE HERE IS TO APPLY THE SUPER POSITION PRINCIPLE. FURTHERMORE, ALL POINTS IN SPACE MUST BE BOTH RATIONAL AND IRRATIONAL. BUT HOW CAN THIS BE? THE ONLY EXPLANATION IS THAT EACH POINT IN SPACE OSCILLATES BETWEEN THE RATIONAL STATE AND THE IRRATIONAL STATE.
.
5. FURTHER CONJECTURE.
AT THIS POINT WE NOW MUST ASK, "WHAT IS THE NATURE OF THIS OSCILLATION OF A POINT IN SPACE ?". THERE ARE THESE POSSIBILITIES
a. EACH POINT IN SPACE SIMPLY CHANGES ITS "COLOR" FROM RATIONAL TO IRRATIONAL AND BACK AGAIN. IN OTHER WORDS, IT IS SIMPLY REPETITIVELY EXPOSING TWO FACES OF THE SAME COIN.
b. EACH POINT IN SPACE HAS A LITTLE WIGGLE ROOM TO VIBRATE BETWEEN THE RATIONAL AND IRRATIONAL, BEING CONSTRAINED BY AN INFINITESIMAL IRRATIONAL DISTANCE.
c. EACH POINT IN SPACE EXPANDS AND CONTRACTS ITS RADIUS BETWEEN RATIONAL 0 AND THE SMALLEST IRRATIONAL DISTANCE, BEING CONSTRAINED BY THE INFINITESIMAL IRRATIONAL DISTANCE.
d. HOWEVER IN OBSERVING PARTICLE-WAVE DUALITY, CURRENT DAY QUANTUM PHYSICS HAS COME TO REGARD THE IDEA THAT A QUANTUM FORCE FIELD CAN BE SOMEWHAT INDEPENDENT OF MATTER AND OCCUPY SPACE WITHOUT IT HAVING A MASS. IT WAS THE PHOTON THAT FIRST GAVE RISE TO THIS IDEA, BECAUSE IT DEMONSTRATES THE PROPERTIES OF BEING A REAL MATERIAL PARTICLE WITH MASS AND
BEING A MASSLESS ENERGY WAVE. THIS IS KNOWN AS PARTICLE-WAVE DUALITY. SUCH BEING THE CASE, IT IS NOT UNTHINKABLE TO ACCEPT THE IDEA THAT OUR SPACIAL POINT COULD OSCILLATE BETWEEN BEING A MASSLESS FIELD AND A REAL PARTICLE HAVING MASS. IN OTHER WORDS, EACH POINT IN SPACE COULD BE WHAT i WOULD CALL A NOW-YOU-SEE-IT/NOW-YOU-DONT PARTICLE, AKA, A "NUCINUD" ENTITY, PROBABLY ALSO KNOW AS THE ELUSIVE GRAVITON PARTICLE.
e. If the preceding does hold water and IF THE OSCILLATIONS OF ALL POINTS ARE IN SYNC WITH EACH OTHER VIA SOME INTERCONNECTING LINKAGE BETWEEN POINTS (LIKE GRAVITY) , then it is reasonable to say that the fabric of all space is comprised of two subspaces, ie, the rational subspace and the irrational subspace. Based on this idea, we might even conjecture that all of space flips back and forth between the two subspaces, thereby creating a motion picture reality. (Note: Refer to the attached Minkowski graph and envision the x-y plane as progressing through time along the time axis in a flip-flop fashion between the rational an irrational.)
However, it may be that the oscillations of all points are asynchronous, ie, not in sync. And if this is true, then the concept of a synchronous and continuous time across all of space is ka-put, as well as the idea of there being any continuity across space-time.
.
6. RECAP - THE "NUCINUD" PARTICLE-POINT.
This writing has theorized the existence of a
NOW-YOU-SEE-IT-NOW-YOU-DONT (aka NUCINUD) PARTICLE-POINT of which all of space is composed.
1)The particle-point is said to oscillate in size from zero to some infinitesimal size. Furthermore, given the current day thinking that treats a massless force field (like a photon) as a real entity, it is conceivable that our nucinud particle-point could oscillate between being a massless force field and being a real particle with mass. This conforms to Einstein and quantum theory recognizing a force field as being independent of matter.
2)The particle-point is the source of gravity (a directional force field) and is enticed by matter to collect inside matter like a bunch of flies being attracted to dead meat. Because of its attraction to other points like itself, it may merge with those other points, thereby increasing the force of its own gravity. And because of its attraction to other particle-points like itself, any motion of the particle-point causes its domain and the domain of neighboring particle- points to be stretched. Furthermore, the particle-point's quantum gravity links it with its adjacent particle-points, thereby providing a linkage between all such particle-points and assuring a synchronous continuity of all space-time.
This conforms to Einstein declaring gravity to be a property of space-time.
3) The particle-point's oscillation period is slowed by the increased presence of its own gravity. This conforms to the observation that gravity slows down time.
4) In addition, there may be a force field that is orthogonal to the gravity force field in a relationship similar to the relationship of electricity to magnetism.
.
7. BLACK HOLES.
From the previous discussion about a collapsing virtual sphere, it should be obvious that this is exactly a description of matter collapsing into a black hole, the only difference being we have now added the presence of matter which exhibits the property of gravity.
If we consider matter to be composed of real rational points in space, then the radius of a black hole must be real, but its circumference, or EVENT HORIZON, must be irrational points in space. Either this or visa versa. No matter, this should give us some insight into the nature of space and matter at the quantum level, where current thought is focused upon multi-dimensionality, particle and string theory.
As a side note black holes having an extremely large mass are known to emit low frequency gravity waves, near sound, when they merge with another black hole. This is not to say that they do not also emit other very high frequency radiation, like gamma and x-rays.
.
.
B. POSTMORTEM.
.
1.. MY APOLOGY.
In association with QUANTUM THEORY, there appears to be a popular belief that there exists the smallest size that anything can exist. Quite obviously, in bringing up and applying IRRATIONAL numbers in my depiction of points in space, I have possibly created a schism about what the very smallest size that a thing can be. And quite obviously, I have diverted from current thinking of there being an absolute smallest particle size to thinking that the very smallest particle can completely disappear to zero size and reappear. In other words, we have a "NOW YOU SEE IT, NOW YOU DON'T" , aka NUCINUD, PARTICLE/SPACIAL-POINT. This may conflict with the PLANK CONSTANT idea of there being an absolute smallest size that never goes to zero.
If what I am saying is true, there remains a question as to the exact nature of time. That question is, " Is it not possible that each somewhat autonomous particle/point of space, by virtue of its oscillating size is somehow linked to its neighbors via an oscillating minute wave it produces?". And is it not then possible that the oscillations of all spacial-points be in sync with each other, thus producing the over all effect of time?". "Can each such a spacial point not be the generator of some isotropic radiation?".
.
2. A QUESTION OF UNIFORMITY BETWEEN GRAVITY & ELECTROMAGNETICS.
In electromagnetics, there are two interwoven but distinct forces, ie, electrical and magnetic. Could be there is a companion force orthogonal to gravity yet to be discovered?
Perhaps, time is orthogonal to gravity.
.
3. A POSSIBLE EXPLANATION FOR WHY THE WEAK NUCLEAR FORCE IS HELD IN CHECK BY THE STRONG NUCLEAR FORCE.
If the two forces are orthogonal to each other as with electro-magetics, then it may be that the weak nuclear force whose direction is a push outward is held in by an encircling strong nuclear force.
..
4. REBUTTLEMENTS:
a. POINTS IN SPACE HAVE NO PROPERTIES LIKE RATIONALITY OR IRRATIONALITY. THE DEFINITION OF A STRAIGHT LINE IS THE SHORTEST DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO POINTS, A & B. ONLY DISTANCE AND/OR TIME CAN BE IRRATIONAL.
ANSWER: Assume you have a "straight" line between points A & B, but the distance is "irrational". If the distance is a "straight" line, then you can never get exactly from point A to point B, because you will either fall short of point B or skip over it claiming to hit point B. So obviously something is amiss.
The possible explanation for this is that something diverted your trip very slightly, causing you not to go in a "straight" line as you presumed. What could that be? Either:
1). You "locus" of points took you slightly off course through an intermediate "irrational point,
or
2). Some mysterious force "bent" your path along the way.
Now consider the distance between A & B as shrinking almost to zero, but it is still irrational. Either that irrational intermediate point is still there or that mysterious force is still there. And as we collapse that distance to zero, there is no reason to believe that anything has changed. Thus, the point must take on the properties of what was exterior to it.

CHAPTER 3.
THE BIG BANG.
.
I. CURRENT UNDERSTANDING.
As a result of both scientific and technological advancement over the last century, it has become pretty clear that our universe began with a BIG BANG. Whether it was caused by a collision of some preexisting entities or caused by the immediate appearance out of nowhere of a singularity. ie a "POINT" may be a concern, but it should be obvious that were it a collision of preexisting entities, then the universe must have existed before the collision, which leads one to question how those entities came about. Therefore, the more reasonable viewpoint is to regard it as starting from a singularity, thereby eliminating the endless search for a beginning.
This BIG BANG CREATION THEORY tells us that both space, time and matter were all created immediately 13.8 billion years ago from a singularity that erupted into an explosion, with matter evolving from a super-heated plasma, that turned into the basic particles of the atom as it cooled, that turned into hydrogen and helium atoms, that turned into stars, which in turn created the heavier elements we know of today. It also tells us that light was created which was everywhere all at once and which ultimately turned into microwaves and can be found today as CMB, COSMIC MICROWAVE BACKGROUND noise that still travel everywhere in the universe.
.
II. QUESTIONS:
.
A. SOME SCIENTIST ARGUE THAT THE UNIVERSE IS A
"ISOLATED SYSTEM".
The word, "SYSTEM", implies some degree of enclosure, and therefore an entity that can be somewhat described. The word "DESCRIBE" also implies an enclosure since the syllable "SCRIBE" means to circumnavigate or enclose.
To point out the differences in system types, science recognizes 3 kinds of systems:
1. "ISOLATED" where neither energy or matter can escape.
An "isolated" system is one completely enclosed an
sealed off. The 2ND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS
pertains to this kind of system. So it may be that some
scientists opt for this type of universe to preserve that
law.
2. "CLOSED" where energy can escape, but not matter.
In other words, there is a small exit.
3. "OPENED" where both energy and matter can escape.
This latter type of system should be self-evident.
At this point let us consider some possible semmetrical enclosures of the universe. We will exclude the unsemmetrical, because they could be like fractals and just too difficult to apply simple math.
So considering only the symmetrical, we have only four possibilities
1. A TETRAHEDRON
2. A CUBE
3. A DODECAHEDRON.
4. A SPHERE.
So which of these would be the most realistic to enclose our universe? Certainly not the first three, because it is most unlikely that our universe would have sharp edges as required by a polyhedron. That leaves us with a sphere.
So let's go back and see if a sphere really is representative of our universe being an isolated system. If the universe is indeed "isolated" and spherical , then there must be a discernable boundary at a rational distance from its center. And if the universe is spherical, then its surface must contain some irrational points as we saw previously in our discussion of a point. This must mean our sphere has holes in it, making it impossible to be an isolated enclosed system.
Of course it can be argued that the universe is not a perfect sphere. But if that is true, then how do you account for what must have been the typical symmetrical radiation pattern of
a shock wave or dispersion of what-ever that is typical of an explosion?
So I would like to know what proof these scientist have of the universe being an isolated system? Have they in fact ventured to the outer boundaries and found all of the doors shut.? Or are they just being lazy, arrogant and closed minded?
Of course, isolation of variables is essential to understanding the cause and effect of things. But to claim that the Universe is always an isolated entity is beyond all reason. There is no such thing as always or never. Gates open and gates close, and we know not when, where, and/or by what means or who.
.
B. WHAT THIS, NO CENTER TO THE UNIVERSE?
Scientists are telling us per Google,
"There is no centre of the universe! According to the standard theories of cosmology, the universe started with a "Big Bang" about 14 thousand million years ago and has been expanding ever since. Yet there is no centre to the expansion; it is the same everywhere."
Apparently scientists do not consider the original spot where the Big Bang started as part of the universe. This could only mean that the universe is sandwiched in between two concentric spheres, assuming a symmetrical explosion. If the explosion was non-semmetrical, then the universe would still be sandwiched in between an outer layer and an inner layer, assuming the point of the explosion was surrounded by all the debris which is not unreasonable. But then again, one might conjecture the universe as being a smoke ring blown through a tiny hole. One could almost imagine God smoking a pipe and blowing a smoke ring. He may be even blowing more than one smoke ring, thereby creating multi-verses No matter, there must be a center point of origin and regardless of whether or not scientist include it as part of the universe.
.
C. LOOKING INTO THE DISTANT PAST.
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT WE ARE LOOKING FARTHER BACK INTO TIME AS WE PEER DEEPER INTO SPACE?
We must begin with the fact that there is nothing that can travel faster than light. And because of the vast distances between galaxies, it can take millions of light years for the light from a far distant galaxy to reach our galaxy. This means that an immense amount of time has past by the time we see the light, which means we are looking at history.
With the advent of space travel, our imaginations can go wild with the idea of visiting distant galaxies. Yet science tells us that the deeper we peer into space, then the farther back in time we go. But to be more precise, the deeper we look into space, we see light (or electromagnetic radiation) emitted long, long ago. So this raises the question, "If what we are seeing now actually occurred millions of years ago, then how do we know those objects are still there?" If in truth they are not presently there, then is there really any point in trying to converse with them, let alone attempt to travel to them? This not to say we should not even bother to be aware and study these past events. But they need to be recognized as historical events long past that should not necessarily effect our current day presence.
For an observer to say, "I just saw new stars being born" is not necessarily correct. It is more honest to say "I have seen stars that were born x years ago". To him I would say "If you are going to travel to some distant star, don't be surprised if it is gone before you get there.
Edwin Hubble discovered that the universe appears to be expanding due to the "Doppler Red Shift" he observed of light coming from very distant stars.. From that we have concluded that the more distant starts are "accelerating" away, leading us to theorize that the universe is expanding as a whole attributed to the existence 'dark energy".
But there is something troubling about this. WHAT IS THE POINT THEY ARE EXPANDING FROM? WHERE IS THE CENTER POINT OF THE EXPLOSION? CAN WE NOT SEE LIGHT FROM DISTANT GALAXIES DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM US ON THE OTHER SIDE? WHAT IF THOSE MORE DISTANT STARS ARE NOT RECEDING AWAY FROM US LINEARLY, BUT ARE ACTUALLY CIRCULATING AROUND THE EDGES OF THE UNIVERSE?" IT WOULD STILL BE POSSIBLE TO OBSERVE A RED SHIFT AT THE RIGHT TIMES RELATIVE TO THE POSITION OF THE EARTH? These very simple questions remain to be answered by science, not some arbitrary statements of there being no center or that the universe is an isolated system. If you don't know, then say you don't know.

3. REFERENCE SYSTEMS RESTRICTION..
A reference system within the rational sub-space cannot be used to measure distances to points within the irrational sub-space, and visa versa. The ability to measure distance is restricted to the sub-space in which the measurement is being made.
4. The role of "TIME"
It may be that "time" is the resolving factor between rational space and irrational space. Therefore, it makes sense to speak of "space-time" as one complete entity.
E. IS THE VANISHING POINT ONE OR MANY?
Certainly someone has already considered this question, but just in case, I bring it up now.
Suppose two people are standing at opposite poles of the earth, each looking straight up. The question is;
"ARE THEY LOOKING AT DIFFERENT POINTS IN SPACE OR THE SAME ONE?'. This may sound like a stupid question, but it does deserve an answer, because we do know now that light does bend. If they are in fact the same point in space, then as we gaze into the heavens to the farthest light source from no matter where, are we not starring at the original single point of the Big Bang? And if true, then the universe is a CLOSED SYSTEM that happens to be expanding at the moment, possibly causing the effect of time.
Here are some observations.
As has been known for many centuries in art, as you look at something from an increasing distances, the smaller it becomes until it completely vanishes into a single point. Imagine a perfect cross whose limbs are the same length,d. The farther away you move from it (say distance D), the shorter the limb lengths appear. It would almost seem as if there is an inversely proportional relationship between D & d, whereby D x d = Constant K. This observation seems to hold true no matter in what direction you are looking. However, If we now take a larger cross whose limbs are of length s, we now have to be at a farther distance, S, from it before it vanishes. And where S x s = Constant C, it does not follow that Constant C = Constant K unless there is some other mitigating factor, like time, to produce some fixed universal constant X. Perhaps something like X = K/T(d) = C/T(s), where T(d) might be the time it takes light to travel the distance D & T(s) is the time for light to travel the distance S. But this is just mere conjecture.
Here is another view on the vanishing point which could contradict the idea of it being a single point. Instead of a cross made of wood, imagine the cross is made of two strings. You grab one of the strings at the center and begin to pull. The ends of the string are not secured, but have heavy weights on
them so they can reluctantly move. As you pull, the string beings to bend, and the two ends come closer together. If you pull long enough, the two ends will come together as if they were one.
In this analogy, the string you are pulling on is actually the separate light beams of each point along the lateral length of the string (or coss). And the light beams from each end of the string converge into one before those other light beams emitted from the points closer to the center of the string. In other words, the light being emitted from the cross is bending to the vanishing point where all visibility of the cross is gone.
Of course, this too is conjecture, but it does destroy the prior view. And it further falls in line with the idea that it takes a longer time for the light from the ends of the cross to reach your eye than the light from the center of the cross.

( Introduction & Chapter 1 history of science complete)
INTRODUCTION. - TIME AND SPACE.
What does it mean when we say that time passes by faster or more slowly? What are we really saying?
We are talking about the "rate", T(r), at which time passes, which can also be thought of as a "frequency" similar to electromagnetic radiation. In this analogy, do not confuse long wave length, L, with higher frequency. Longer wave length means slower time rate or frequency which means the slower time passes. The greater the rate (or frequency) of time tics, the faster time passes, and visa versa. A more visual way to see it, imagine a timeline with the tics of a clock separating equal segments, L, of time. The slower time flows, the longer each time segment, L, will be, meaning the rate, T(r), will be less. The exact equation relating frequency to wave length is
L x T(r) = C, the constant speed of light
Now you ask, "How can we talk about the "fabric" of space when there is nothing there?". It was Einstein who first proclaimed that space and gravity interact, claiming that gravity warps space. Now I accept this idea, although it could be that space shapes gravity. No matter, it seems obvious from this that there is something in space we cannot see, and therefore we can speak of space as if it were a "fabric" or maybe even a fluid.

This document is a pure mathematical viewpoint and reasoning in an attempt to better understand what science has been telling us today about quantum theory and cosmology .
IT IS A KEY THEME OF THIS DOCUMENT THAT ONE CANNOT TRAVEL AN IRRATIONAL OR A QUASI-IRRATIONAL DISTANCE WITHIN THE SPACIAL REALITY OF WHICH WE ARE CURRENTLY AWARE. HOWEVER, THAT FACT DOES NOT MEAN THERE ARE NO IRRATIONAL POINTS IN A SEPARATE SPACE OF WHICH WE ARE NOT AWARE. NOR DOES IT MEAN THAT A STATE OF IRRATIONALITY CANNOT TEMPORARILY EXIST WITHIN THE SPACIAL REALITY OF WHICH WE ARE AWARE.THE PERSPECTIVE TAKEN HEREIN IS THAT THERE EXISTS A RATIONAL SUBSPACE AND AN IRRATIONAL SUBSPACE, THE TWO COMPRISING ALL OF SPACE.,
The first chapter presents:
1. the algebraic symbology I use,
2. some key mathematical & scientific information & equations handed down to us,
3. some pertinent scientific history.
Where the reader may skip over the first two sections of this chapter, using those sections only for quick reference, the reader should not skip anything after that lest he become lost in comprehending anything that has evolved in science since the days of Einstein.
The second chapter deals with the very small, ie, quantum theory, space and apparent nothingness.
The third chapter deals with the very large, ie, the BIG BANG . Both the very small and very large are described as contracting and expanding spheres, the commonality being found in the concept of a virtual singularity, ie, a "point".
In this document, I question some of the following contemporary and conventional wisdom
1. ZERO IS ALWAYS A RATIONAL NUMBER.
2. NOTHING IS SMALLER THAN PLANKS CONSTANT.
3 THERE IS NO AETHER.
4. THERE IS NO CENTER TO THE UNIVERSE.
5. THE UNIVERSE IS AN ISOLATED SYSTEM.
6..COSMIC MICROWAVE BACKGROUND NOISE IS STRETCHED OUT LIGHT FROM THE BIG BANG.
Only the first 5 do I seriously question.

CHAPTER 1.
SYMBOL LEGEND, ABOUT NUMBERS, & SCIENTIFIC HISTORY.
.
.
A. Before proceeding , here is a legend of the symbols I will use:
CONSTANTS:
C = the constant speed of light in a vacuum
G(n) = Newton's gravitational constant
PI = C(c)/D(d) = 3.14......
H = Plank's constant = 6.62 x 10**(-34)
W = Wien's Constant = .00294 degree-meters
K = unimportant constant
VARIABLES:
V(n) = Newton's velocity
A(n) = Newton's acceleration
M(i) = Newton's inertial mass
F(n) = Newton's force variable
G(f) = Newton's force of gravity
T = time
T(t) = temperature absolute
T(r) = the rate of time = F(r)
F(r) = frequency or radiation frequency
S(r) spin rate
L = wave length
A(r) = wave amplitude
D(d) = linear/longitudinal distance
S(d) = sinusoidal distance
R (c) = radius
D(c) = diameter
C(c) = circumference
E = work/energy
n =an integer quantum number
I may drop the subscript when the context in which the symbol appears is clear or if there is no other use of the capital letter..
In addition, the following equations are observed:
F(n) = M x A Newton's equation
E = F(n) x d Newton's definition of work/energy
E = n x H x F(r) Plank's Law
E = M x C** Einsteins Law
L x F(r) = C Maxwell equation
T(t) x L max = W Wien's Temperature-Wave Length Law
where:
x = multiplication operator
/ = division operator
* = exponential operator
.
.
B. A WORD ABOUT NUMBERS.
Numbers give us a way of measuring things..
And the ability to measure requires the ability to divide that which is being measured into smaller, but equal, parts.
Another word for measuring is "QUANTIFICATION" which gives us a little clue into the meaning of "QUANTUM THEORY". Numbers are also used to label.
There are different kinds of numbers, some of which can be divided into equal parts, and others not so. There are WHOLE NUMBERS aka INTEGERS, ODD & EVEN NUMBERS, PRIMARY NUMBERS, REAL NUMBERS, IMAGINARY NUMBERS, FRACTIONAL NUMBERS, etc...
But here I am focusing upon IRRATIONAL NUMBERS
.
1. An IRRATIONAL NUMBER is one in which there is no end to non-repeating numbers to the right of the decimal point.
2. PI is an irrational number.
3. With the exception of zero, an irrational number multiplied times any rational or irrational number yields an irrational number. The same is true of division. The same is true of addition and subtraction, except when two irrational numbers whose numbers to the right of the decimal point yield a zero sum.
4. There are at least four times more irrational numbers than rational numbers. This is because any mathematical operation ( + - x /) between a rational number and an irrational number always yields an irrational number.
5. There being no distinct classification for numbers that have a repeating non-zero number sequence to the right of the decimal point, I call these QUASI IRRATIONAL NUMBERS. Example: 1/3 = .3333333....

C. BEFORE EINSTEIN
.
.
1. THE DUAL NATURE OF LIGHT. WAVE-PARTICLE DUALITY.
Even before Einstein, scientists had narrowed down the speed of light, C. And for centuries, scientist had at some times considered light to be a particle (now called a photon), while at other times considered it to be an electromagnetic wave. Newton and Huygens in the 17th century were among the first to really study light. Newton supported the particle idea and Huygens supported the wave idea. Then early in the 19th century, Young demonstrated his Double Slit experiment that emphasized the wave idea. Others continued like Michelson/Morley, with Einstein and others following up to give us quantum theory.
What has since evolved is a very complicated picture of the photon being both a particle and a wave. This being the case, let me try to draw a simple straight forward analogy of this duality.
Envision a wheel of your car. This is representative of a photon. Imagine a huge polarized bar magnet stuck perfectly to the wheel across its diameter from one edge, through the center, and to the other edge of the wheel. Now, before you begin to drive it, assume the car is up on blocks lifting the wheels off the ground. You start the engine, engage the wheels, step on the gas and observe the revolutions per minute, rpms. For this example, we assume that the rpms is the same as the rate at which the wheel spins and is the SPIN FREQUENCY, S(r). The spin frequency produces the periodic motion of the magnet's poles which generate an oscillating electromagnetic field of radiation having a frequency of F(r). So the spin rate, S(r), and the frequency, F(r), are one and the same. The resulting radiated wavelength, L, is the same as the circumference, C(r), of the wheel. And the wave's amplitude, A, is the radius, R, of the wheel. Meanwhile, the path of the magnet's north pole is a circle relative to both the ground and the center of the wheel. In short, what we have here is an electromagnetic wave of frequency F(r) and wavelength L that travels at the speed of light C.
Now you lower the car to the ground and begin to drive it at the same revolutions per minute as before Relative to the car, the magnet is still generating the same electromagnetic radiation and has the same frequency and wave length and amplitude as before. And the path of the magnet's north pole motion relative to the center of the wheel is still a circle. But now we ask 'WHAT IS THE PATH OF THE MAGNET'S NORTH POLE MOTION RELATIVE TO AN OBSERVER ON THE GROUND AS THE CAR IS MOVING LONGITUDINALLY? THE ANSWER IS "A SIGN WAVE" WHICH STILL HAS THE SAME AMPLITUDE. BUT EVERYTHING ELSE IS DIFFERENT WITH REGARDS TO FREQUENCY AND WAVELENGTH OF THE GENERATED ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD. .
Going a little further, let's look at what the electromagnetic radiation looks like to our observer standing still in front of your car as you drive towards him. To such an observer, the fact of your velocity towards him compresses the peak-to-peak wavelength of the generated electromagnetic wave. This means a shorter wavelength, which in turn means higher frequency. Were the observer standing behind your car, the opposite would be true. The wavelength would get longer and the frequency would be less. This is called Doppler Frequency Shifting
To this point, our analogy may not be complete, the reason being that the wavelength of the generated electromagnetic wave was in sync with the linear longitudinal distance traveled by 1 complete revolution of the wheel. Suppose the spinning magnet is not attached to the wheel, but instead is inside the car and not spinning at the same rate as the car's wheels.
No matter, the same Doppler Frequency Shift will occur, maybe not the same as before, but it will still occur as long as your car is moving. It is the same type of Doppler Frequency Shift as when you hear a train whistle go from a high pitch to a low pitch as it passes by you. So now we see that there can be a distinct difference between the actual periodic spin speed, ie, frequency, and the observed frequency depending upon the relative motion between the electromagnetic wave source and the observer.
This analogy of a photon may not be exactly correct. Certainly it does not cover all of the intricacies of light, especially Huygens view that light appears to replicate and distribute itself at every point in space. Although Huygens did not support the particle view, his theory seems to be liken to a cue ball hitting a racked up set of balls on a pool table. No matter, I hope this presents at least some idea of how the wave-particle duality idea works.
.
2. IS PLANKS CONSTANT THE SMALLEST LENGTH?
Even before Einstein, Max Plank made a very important empirical finding establishing a relationship between energy and radiant frequency. It is called PLANKS LAW expressed as E = HF(r),
where E is energy, F(r) is frequency and H is Planks constant.
It is said that the smallest length of distance is PLANKS CONSTANT which is 6.62 x 10**(-34) and that nothing can exists that is smaller than this. If we substitute MC**(2) for energy and C/£ for frequency, where M is mass, C is the speed of light, & £ is wave length, then we can come up with
M£ = 2/3 x 10**(-26).
What is important here is that mass and wave length are inversely proportional to each other.
THEREFORE, IF A POINT IN SPACE HAS NO MASS, THEN ITS WAVELENGTH IS AN INFINITE STRAIGHT LINE WHOSE FREQUENCY IS C/infinity, AKA ZERO.
So what is the reasoning behind saying that nothing can be smaller than PLANKS CONSTANT? Is this seemingly just another arbitrary restriction similar to saying that 0 must only be rational number, and not irrational?
.
D. CATCHING UP WITH EINSTEIN.
Einstein first came out with his SPECIAL THEORY OF RELATIVITY which dealt with two reference systems in motion at a constant speed relative to each other. His findings here included the further study of light which gave us his famous equation, E = MC**. He subsequently came out with his theory of GENERAL RELATIVITY which dealt with two reference systems in variable motions relative to each other, meaning they accelerated and or decelerated relative to each other, which in turn brought into play the consideration of gravity.
Einstein's findings, along with those of his contemporary scientists, eventually gave us the theory of the atom and quantum theory. I should mention here that quantum theory appears to be an attempt to find the smallest practical unit of measure with respect to describing and measuring atomic and subatomic particles and energies.The word "QUANTA" is singular and refers to a single package constituting a unit of measure of vary small particles, like photons and electrons, or packets of energy levels. The word "QUANTUM" is plural and expresses n number of quanta, where n can only be an integer. which is not irrational..
.
1 The IMPACT OF VELOCITY, V, UPON TIME.
Einstein, in his first studies of light, proclaimed that, "THE FASTER ONE TRAVELS, THE SLOWER THE RATE OF TIME AND VISA VERSA. So here we see VELOCITY, V, aka SPEED BASED UPON TIME AND DISTANCE, changing the rate at which time passes.. In other words, the greater the speed, V, the less the rate at which time, T(r), passes and visa versa. It would seem as if V & T(r) are inversely proportional to some extent & can be expressed mathematically as:
V x T(r) = K (a fixed constant.)
But T(r) = C / L, where
C = the speed of light
L = the wave length of time,
ie, the distance between tics of the clock.
Therefore, V / L = K / C
In addition to this, Einstein went on to say, "THE FASTER ONE TRAVELS, THE MORE MASS HE GAINS.". We will remember this when we get to gravity.
.
2. THE INCLUSION OF TIME AS A DIMENSION & ITS GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATION.
In his Special Theory Of Relativity, Einstein addressed the relativistic issues of pure motion and time, the result being his recognition of time as a 4th dimension. But apparently he was somewhat remiss in his depicting graphical reference system of how space and time could could be represented. He relied upon another mathematician, Minkowski. One of the pictures attached here is that of Minkowski's graphical concept of space-time which most physicists agree upon. Part of the trick in understanding it is to realize that distance can be represented as time ASSUMING THE SPEED OF LIGHT IS THE UNIT OF MEASURE ALONG THE TIME AXIS. So there is very little difference from the old 3-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system in that regard. But in addition Minkowski added what is called a LIGHT CONE. Now I do not pretend to know what this light-cone purports to represent, but my best guess is that it is representative of the dispersion of light over time. But do not bet on it.
Speaking of reference systems, Einstein played with Non-Euclidian reference systems, envisioning manifolds and Gaussian Field representations. He did so making a distinction between an INERTIAL REFERENCE SYSTEM wherein the reference system is considered to be at absolute rest as opposed to a separate NON-INERTIAL REFERENCE SYSTEM which is moving with respect to an inertial reference system. This is so, because every person has their own unique frame of reference that move with respect to others.
Anyway let's move onward to the more interesting concepts of gravity which Einstein incorporated in his General Theory Of Relativity.
.
3. The IMPACT OF GRAVITY, G UPON TIME.
First, it is said that gravity travels at the speed of light, no slower and no faster. Secondly, in addition to gravity impacting the shape of space, it has also been proven that gravity has its effects upon time. The closer one is to the source of gravity, THE SLOWER TIME PASSES by. The farther away you are from the center of gravity, THE FASTER TIME PASSES.
It would seem as if G & T(r) are inversely proportional to some extent. In other words, the greater the gravity, the less the rate at which time passes and visa versa. This might be represented by the equation. Thus, we might expand our previous equation to include gravity expressed as
V x G x T(r) = K (a fixed constant.)
or
(V x G) / L = K / C
Remembering Einstein said, "THE FASTER ONE TRAVELS, THE MORE MASS HE GAINS.", we can speculate that it may not be the increase of velocity that slows time directly. It may be that the increase in mass resulting from higher speed produces increased gravity that actually slows time. In this case we could simply omit V from our equation. But for now we will leave it in.
Now this equation may or may not be true, but it does help to understand the inverse relationships between TIME, GRAVITY, and SPEED. We know that G, gravity, is relative to mass. We know that V, velocity is relative to the distance between points in space and time. But we still do not know what the variable TIME is relative to.
.
4. MORE ABOUT GRAVITY "WARPING" SPACE.
Well before Einstein, it was Newton who first introduced the idea that two separate pieces of matter attracted each other via a direct force which he could compute. But when Einstein came along, the picture was changed from a direct force to an indirect force whereby spacetime served as an intermediary. Two pieces of matter in close proximity would come together as a result of their separate respective stretching or squeezing of spacetime and not as the result of a direct force between them.
Einstein finally came up with his equation of General Relativity,
G(uv)=(8pi G/C****)T(uv).
Where: G = Newtons Gravitational Constant
C = The Speed Of Light
pi = the usual irrational constant.
T(uv) = an energy-momentum tensor.
This involves mass, M, & velocity, V.
G(uv) = a curvature tensor.
This includes TIME ..
God only knows what this is,
but let me try to explain as I have heard.
The left side, G(uv), says that space-time is shaped by the right side which represents the distribution of matter. In other words, space-time is malleable, not some unknown infinity.
This may be all fine and dandy, but we need to know, "What is a tensor"?". In mathematics, a tensor is an algebraic object that describes a linear mapping from one set of algebraic objects to another. Objects that tensors may map between include, but are not limited to, vectors and scalars, and, recursively, even other tensors. Tensors are inherently related to vector spaces and their dual spaces, and can take several different forms – for example: a scalar, a vector, a dual vector at a point, or a multi-linear map between vector spaces. Euclidean vectors and scalars (which are often used in elementary physics and engineering applications where general relativity is irrelevant) are the simplest tensors.[1] While tensors are defined independent of any basis, the literature on physics often refers to them by their components in a basis related to a particular coordinate system. The third picture shown here is a diagram of a curvature tensor, but please do not ask me to explain it.
Even given all of this information, how in the world are we suppose to visualize it all.
Einstein said that gravity "warps" space-time. The 2nd attached picture is what has traditionally been known as the Trampoline example which is really pathetic. It is suppose to illustrate how a piece of material like earth causes a "gravity well" distortion in spacetime into which another piece of material (not shown) can fall. But this is really a mickey-mouse example, because it still relies upon there being a gravity force to pull the second piece of material down into its web. In addition to that, one might view this picture as the earth pushing spacetime away.
So just exactly what Einstein meant by "warping" space time is totally unclear. Did he mean to imply a pushing away force or a pulling force, because certainly it must be one of the two. Given the discovery of black holes, which Einstein initially uncovered, he must have meant "warping" as the result of a pulling force. But Einstein went a little further and claimed that gravity was a property of space-time. If this is the case, then it must be that every spacial point must be the source of a quantum gravity force, wherein matter enhances the attraction of spacial points like a piece of meat attracting flies.
At this point, I would like to compare Einstein's equation to what we previously came up with, ie, (V x G) / L = K / C.
Restating the equation, we have
L x K / C = V x G.
So now we can see the commonality between our equation and Einstein's equation on both the left and ride sides. We don't really care about what our arbitrary K / C is. All that counts is that the pertinent factors of time gravity and velocity are correct in their relationship to each other. And of course, Einstein's equation is more complete and correct.
.
5. VISUALIZING GRAVITY WARPING SPACE.
I find the typical Trampoline Picture of gravity warping space to be somewhat unacceptable in that it leads us to believe gravity pushes spacetime away. It would be better if the center of the earth were shown lower at the apex depicted. So let's see if we can come up with a more realistic picture.
If you will, imagine 2 bicycles wheels on a bike.
The spokes on the wheels represent the force of gravity emanating radially outward from the center of each wheel where the respective masses are located. Einstein's claim is that the spacetime between the wheels is" warped" by the force of each wheel's gravity. So now, let's ask some questions.
a. WHICH DIRECTION IS FORCE OF GRAVITY OF EACH WHEEL (along the spokes of the wheel) ACTING RELATIVE TO THE WHEEL ON ITS OWN.? Either each wheel is pushing outward away from its center or pulling inward toward its center. This may sound like a stupid question, but Trampoline picture indicates a pushing rather than a pulling.
If the force of gravity were pushing away, then it would stand to reason that all matter would be highly compressed leaving no room for electrons to fly around the atom's nucleus. So obviously, the force of gravity must be a "pulling" force, which we all knew anyway. So gravity is an "attractive" force, not a "repelling" force.
b. UPON WHAT IS THE FORCE OF GRAVITY ACTING EITHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY? Obviously, the force of gravity acts upon two physical bodies, (ie, matter having mass). But Einstein claims that the resulting action is an indirect result of gravity "warping" spacetime. So how can this be? Again, the impact upon spacetime cannot be a "pushing" aside force, because if this were the case, the two bodies would avoid each other. So the two forces of gravity must be "pulling" upon spacetime. This makes it a tug-of-war upon spacetime between the two bodies. This means that spacetime itself must have some particle-like or quantum characteristic.BUT WHAT ?????
.
6. CAN ANYTHING EXIST WITHOUT MASS?
First let us be clear in our understanding of "mass". "Mass" is "inertia", ie, the resistance to any forces being applied to "mass". It is not weight. In addition, "mass" can be thought of as the storehouse of energy. In a similar manner, "mass" might also be a storehouse for gravity.
It would seem the answer to our question is both yes and no. Intuition and our equations tell us "no". But quantum theory has come up with the SUPER POSITION PRINCIPLE which says if there are two possible states, A & B, for something, then it is possible for any combination of aA + bB to exist. So this could imply that the answer to our question is "yes". In addition, science is telling us that the photon has no mass, but has an energy level of
H x F(r) with Spin = 1 quantum.
So here again the answer appears to be "yes".
This latter statement of the massless photon does appear to totally contradict
E= M x C** = n x H x F(r).
This may be due to the fact that the energy of a single photon is so low that its mass is negligible. It takes 3.2 x 10**(18) photon to generate 1 joule of energy. 1 joule = .000000239 calories, so you can see there is very little energy in a photon. To arrive at more meaningful measurement results, scientists have lumped many, many photons in packets called quantums and that serve as a unit of measure.
.
7. IS THE PHOTON THE BASIC ELEMENT OF ALL SPACE?
Thus far, we have concluded that spacetime must have some seemingly massless particle-like attribute that enables it to respond to the gravitational forces of matter. The one known particle that could qualify as a candidate is the photon.
At this point, I return to the 17th century scientist, Huygen, who said that light is a wave that at each point in space along the way it generates "wavelets" which in turn generate subsequent wavelets. Thus light is propagated like ball colliding with other balls on a pool table, only his analogy was the wave action of water.
So might not those balls on the pool table be representative of photons at rest in each point of spacetime? Might not every point in spacetime really be a photon? "But wait", you say. "Then would not all of spacetime be lighted up?". Answer - "Not if the photon is not spinning". "But," you say. "Is a photon affected by gravity/". Answer - "Yes it is". It has been proven that gravity does bend light rays.
.
8. WHAT ABOUT THE LONG DISMISSED AETHER CONCEPT?
.
At this point, we can speculate that every point in space is a photon. But it does seem to fly in the face of a theory dismissed by experiment back in the late 1800s, ie, the Michelson/Morley experiment. That theory claimed that space was comprised of Aether particles and reasoned that the speed of the earth through it could be determined like a rowboat trying to cross a river. The experiment failed, resulting in the dismissal of there being any such thing as an Aether.
But now here we are again reconsidering the proposition.
Sufifcia to say, if the massless photon is the particle of spacetime, then it would offer no resistance to the earth flowing through it. In other words, the analogy of a boat crossing a flowing river is incorrect.
.

CHAPTER 2.
THE FABRIC OF SPACE, BLACK HOLES, AND THE ESSENCE OF TIME
I could easily stop at this point, satisfied that the question of the fabric of spacetime is answered. But I have more on my plate, ie, irrational numbers.
.
A. PERCEPTION.
1. IRRATIONAL NUMBERS.
An irrational (or quasi irrational) number is a very unique in that it cannot be subdivided any further into equal parts.So in a certain sense, it has its own unique identity. No matter, it does not qualify as a very basic unit of measure, because any rational multiples of it result in constructions of the unmeasurable. Matter, being a construction of mass. cannot exist in irrational space. But an electromagnetic wave can and must partially exist in in irrational space, because it is based upon a periodic spin,which requires the use of the irrational constant, PI, in computing wavelength which too is irrational..
2. LET'S TALK ABOUT ZERO.
An irrational number is one which has no ending or repeating pattern after the decimal point. An irrational multiplied by an irrational number may or may not yield a rational number. But an irrational number multiplied by any rational number yields another irrational number, EXCEPT FOR "0" WHICH IS DEFINED TO BE A RATIONAL INTEGER. So quite obviously we have an exception that creates a contradiction when it comes to the number zero.
.
3. FURTHER INVESTIGATION, COLLAPSING SPHERES.
Now consider the case of a virtual circle or sphere collapsing upon its center point.
The definition of a circle or sphere is the locus of points equidistant from a point in space. In a 3D Cartesian reference system, a sphere is defined by R*2 = x*2 + y*2 + z*2., where R is the radius and x,y,z are the coordinates in space. It should be obvious that if R is 0, then x, y, & z are all 0. So far so good.
But another way of defining a sphere is by the rotation of a circle about an axis. And as we all know, C = 2R x PI, where R is the radius of a rational distance & C is the circumference, or the locus of points around the center point of the circle or sphere.
.
4. CONSISTENCY OF REASONING.
BUT PI IS IRRATIONAL, WHICH MEANS THAT C MUST BE IRRATIONAL, WHICH IN TURN MEANS THE LOCUS OF SOME OF THE POINTS EQUIDISTANT FROM THE CENTER ARE IRRATIONAL, WHILE OTHERS MAY BE RATIONAL. (Note: When z = 0 & x = 4 & y =3,; R = 5, all being rational points.) NOW WHEN R BECOMES ZERO (which we assume initially to be rational), THE IRRATIONAL POINTS WHICH WERE IN THE CIRCUMFERENCE ALL CONVERGE UPON WHAT WAS THE RATIONAL CENTER POINT AND MERGE INTO THAT CENTER POINT, THEREBY FORMING A POINT WHICH IS BOTH RATIONAL AND IRRATIONAL. THERE IS NO REASON TO BELIEVE THAT BECAUSE THE RADIUS HAS BECOME ZERO, THEN THOSE IRRATIONAL POINTS THAT FORMED THE CIRCUMFERENCE SIMPLY DISAPPEAR. IT IS MORE CONSISTENT TO VIEW THEM AS OVERLAYING THE RATIONAL CENTER POINT AND MERGING WITH THAT CENTER POINT. THIS IN TURN MEANS THAT ZERO MUST BE BOTH RATIONAL AND IRRATIONAL AT THE SAME TIME, NOT SIMPLY ONE OR THE OTHER. SO WHAT WE HAVE DONE HERE IS TO APPLY THE SUPER POSITION PRINCIPLE. FURTHERMORE, ALL POINTS IN SPACE MUST BE BOTH RATIONAL AND IRRATIONAL. BUT HOW CAN THIS BE? THE ONLY EXPLANATION IS THAT EACH POINT IN SPACE OSCILLATES BETWEEN THE RATIONAL STATE AND THE IRRATIONAL STATE.
.
5. FURTHER CONJECTURE.
AT THIS POINT WE NOW MUST ASK, "WHAT IS THE NATURE OF THIS OSCILLATION OF A POINT IN SPACE ?". THERE ARE THESE POSSIBILITIES
a. EACH POINT IN SPACE SIMPLY CHANGES ITS "COLOR" FROM RATIONAL TO IRRATIONAL AND BACK AGAIN. IN OTHER WORDS, IT IS SIMPLY REPETITIVELY EXPOSING TWO FACES OF THE SAME COIN.
b. EACH POINT IN SPACE HAS A LITTLE WIGGLE ROOM TO VIBRATE BETWEEN THE RATIONAL AND IRRATIONAL, BEING CONSTRAINED BY AN INFINITESIMAL IRRATIONAL DISTANCE.
c. EACH POINT IN SPACE EXPANDS AND CONTRACTS ITS RADIUS BETWEEN RATIONAL 0 AND THE SMALLEST IRRATIONAL DISTANCE, BEING CONSTRAINED BY THE INFINITESIMAL IRRATIONAL DISTANCE.
d. HOWEVER IN OBSERVING PARTICLE-WAVE DUALITY, CURRENT DAY QUANTUM PHYSICS HAS COME TO REGARD THE IDEA THAT A QUANTUM FORCE FIELD CAN BE SOMEWHAT INDEPENDENT OF MATTER AND OCCUPY SPACE WITHOUT IT HAVING A MASS. IT WAS THE PHOTON THAT FIRST GAVE RISE TO THIS IDEA, BECAUSE IT DEMONSTRATES THE PROPERTIES OF BEING A REAL MATERIAL PARTICLE WITH MASS AND
BEING A MASSLESS ENERGY WAVE. THIS IS KNOWN AS PARTICLE-WAVE DUALITY. SUCH BEING THE CASE, IT IS NOT UNTHINKABLE TO ACCEPT THE IDEA THAT OUR SPACIAL POINT COULD OSCILLATE BETWEEN BEING A MASSLESS FIELD AND A REAL PARTICLE HAVING MASS. IN OTHER WORDS, EACH POINT IN SPACE COULD BE WHAT i WOULD CALL A NOW-YOU-SEE-IT/NOW-YOU-DONT PARTICLE, AKA, A "NUCINUD" ENTITY, PROBABLY ALSO KNOW AS THE ELUSIVE GRAVITON PARTICLE.
e. If the preceding does hold water and IF THE OSCILLATIONS OF ALL POINTS ARE IN SYNC WITH EACH OTHER VIA SOME INTERCONNECTING LINKAGE BETWEEN POINTS (LIKE GRAVITY) , then it is reasonable to say that the fabric of all space is comprised of two subspaces, ie, the rational subspace and the irrational subspace. Based on this idea, we might even conjecture that all of space flips back and forth between the two subspaces, thereby creating a motion picture reality. (Note: Refer to the attached Minkowski graph and envision the x-y plane as progressing through time along the time axis in a flip-flop fashion between the rational an irrational.)
However, it may be that the oscillations of all points are asynchronous, ie, not in sync. And if this is true, then the concept of a synchronous and continuous time across all of space is ka-put, as well as the idea of there being any continuity across space-time.
.
6. RECAP - THE "NUCINUD" PARTICLE-POINT.
This writing has theorized the existence of a
NOW-YOU-SEE-IT-NOW-YOU-DONT (aka NUCINUD) PARTICLE-POINT of which all of space is composed.
1)The particle-point is said to oscillate in size from zero to some infinitesimal size. Furthermore, given the current day thinking that treats a massless force field (like a photon) as a real entity, it is conceivable that our nucinud particle-point could oscillate between being a massless force field and being a real particle with mass. This conforms to Einstein and quantum theory recognizing a force field as being independent of matter.
2)The particle-point is the source of gravity (a directional force field) and is enticed by matter to collect inside matter like a bunch of flies being attracted to dead meat. Because of its attraction to other points like itself, it may merge with those other points, thereby increasing the force of its own gravity. And because of its attraction to other particle-points like itself, any motion of the particle-point causes its domain and the domain of neighboring particle- points to be stretched. Furthermore, the particle-point's quantum gravity links it with its adjacent particle-points, thereby providing a linkage between all such particle-points and assuring a synchronous continuity of all space-time.
This conforms to Einstein declaring gravity to be a property of space-time.
3) The particle-point's oscillation period is slowed by the increased presence of its own gravity. This conforms to the observation that gravity slows down time.
4) In addition, there may be a force field that is orthogonal to the gravity force field in a relationship similar to the relationship of electricity to magnetism.
.
7. BLACK HOLES.
From the previous discussion about a collapsing virtual sphere, it should be obvious that this is exactly a description of matter collapsing into a black hole, the only difference being we have now added the presence of matter which exhibits the property of gravity.
If we consider matter to be composed of real rational points in space, then the radius of a black hole must be real, but its circumference, or EVENT HORIZON, must be irrational points in space. Either this or visa versa. No matter, this should give us some insight into the nature of space and matter at the quantum level, where current thought is focused upon multi-dimensionality, particle and string theory.
As a side note black holes having an extremely large mass are known to emit low frequency gravity waves, near sound, when they merge with another black hole. This is not to say that they do not also emit other very high frequency radiation, like gamma and x-rays.
.
.
B. POSTMORTEM.
.
1.. MY APOLOGY.
In association with QUANTUM THEORY, there appears to be a popular belief that there exists the smallest size that anything can exist. Quite obviously, in bringing up and applying IRRATIONAL numbers in my depiction of points in space, I have possibly created a schism about what the very smallest size that a thing can be. And quite obviously, I have diverted from current thinking of there being an absolute smallest particle size to thinking that the very smallest particle can completely disappear to zero size and reappear. In other words, we have a "NOW YOU SEE IT, NOW YOU DON'T" , aka NUCINUD, PARTICLE/SPACIAL-POINT. This may conflict with the PLANK CONSTANT idea of there being an absolute smallest size that never goes to zero.
If what I am saying is true, there remains a question as to the exact nature of time. That question is, " Is it not possible that each somewhat autonomous particle/point of space, by virtue of its oscillating size is somehow linked to its neighbors via an oscillating minute wave it produces?". And is it not then possible that the oscillations of all spacial-points be in sync with each other, thus producing the over all effect of time?". "Can each such a spacial point not be the generator of some isotropic radiation?".
.
2. A QUESTION OF UNIFORMITY BETWEEN GRAVITY & ELECTROMAGNETICS.
In electromagnetics, there are two interwoven but distinct forces, ie, electrical and magnetic. Could be there is a companion force orthogonal to gravity yet to be discovered?
Perhaps, time is orthogonal to gravity.
.
3. A POSSIBLE EXPLANATION FOR WHY THE WEAK NUCLEAR FORCE IS HELD IN CHECK BY THE STRONG NUCLEAR FORCE.
If the two forces are orthogonal to each other as with electro-magetics, then it may be that the weak nuclear force whose direction is a push outward is held in by an encircling strong nuclear force.
..
4. REBUTTLEMENTS:
a. POINTS IN SPACE HAVE NO PROPERTIES LIKE RATIONALITY OR IRRATIONALITY. THE DEFINITION OF A STRAIGHT LINE IS THE SHORTEST DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO POINTS, A & B. ONLY DISTANCE AND/OR TIME CAN BE IRRATIONAL.
ANSWER: Assume you have a "straight" line between points A & B, but the distance is "irrational". If the distance is a "straight" line, then you can never get exactly from point A to point B, because you will either fall short of point B or skip over it claiming to hit point B. So obviously something is amiss.
The possible explanation for this is that something diverted your trip very slightly, causing you not to go in a "straight" line as you presumed. What could that be? Either:
1). You "locus" of points took you slightly off course through an intermediate "irrational point,
or
2). Some mysterious force "bent" your path along the way.
Now consider the distance between A & B as shrinking almost to zero, but it is still irrational. Either that irrational intermediate point is still there or that mysterious force is still there. And as we collapse that distance to zero, there is no reason to believe that anything has changed. Thus, the point must take on the properties of what was exterior to it.

CHAPTER 3.
THE BIG BANG.
.
I. CURRENT UNDERSTANDING.
As a result of both scientific and technological advancement over the last century, it has become pretty clear that our universe began with a BIG BANG. Whether it was caused by a collision of some preexisting entities or caused by the immediate appearance out of nowhere of a singularity. ie a "POINT" may be a concern, but it should be obvious that were it a collision of preexisting entities, then the universe must have existed before the collision, which leads one to question how those entities came about. Therefore, the more reasonable viewpoint is to regard it as starting from a singularity, thereby eliminating the endless search for a beginning.
This BIG BANG CREATION THEORY tells us that both space, time and matter were all created immediately 13.8 billion years ago from a singularity that erupted into an explosion, with matter evolving from a super-heated plasma, that turned into the basic particles of the atom as it cooled, that turned into hydrogen and helium atoms, that turned into stars, which in turn created the heavier elements we know of today. It also tells us that light was created which was everywhere all at once and which ultimately turned into microwaves and can be found today as CMB, COSMIC MICROWAVE BACKGROUND noise that still travel everywhere in the universe.
.
II. QUESTIONS:
.
A. SOME SCIENTIST ARGUE THAT THE UNIVERSE IS A
"ISOLATED SYSTEM".
The word, "SYSTEM", implies some degree of enclosure, and therefore an entity that can be somewhat described. The word "DESCRIBE" also implies an enclosure since the syllable "SCRIBE" means to circumnavigate or enclose.
To point out the differences in system types, science recognizes 3 kinds of systems:
1. "ISOLATED" where neither energy or matter can escape.
An "isolated" system is one completely enclosed an
sealed off. The 2ND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS
pertains to this kind of system. So it may be that some
scientists opt for this type of universe to preserve that
law.
2. "CLOSED" where energy can escape, but not matter.
In other words, there is a small exit.
3. "OPENED" where both energy and matter can escape.
This latter type of system should be self-evident.
At this point let us consider some possible semmetrical enclosures of the universe. We will exclude the unsemmetrical, because they could be like fractals and just too difficult to apply simple math.
So considering only the symmetrical, we have only four possibilities
1. A TETRAHEDRON
2. A CUBE
3. A DODECAHEDRON.
4. A SPHERE.
So which of these would be the most realistic to enclose our universe? Certainly not the first three, because it is most unlikely that our universe would have sharp edges as required by a polyhedron. That leaves us with a sphere.
So let's go back and see if a sphere really is representative of our universe being an isolated system. If the universe is indeed "isolated" and spherical , then there must be a discernable boundary at a rational distance from its center. And if the universe is spherical, then its surface must contain some irrational points as we saw previously in our discussion of a point. This must mean our sphere has holes in it, making it impossible to be an isolated enclosed system.
Of course it can be argued that the universe is not a perfect sphere. But if that is true, then how do you account for what must have been the typical symmetrical radiation pattern of
a shock wave or dispersion of what-ever that is typical of an explosion?
So I would like to know what proof these scientist have of the universe being an isolated system? Have they in fact ventured to the outer boundaries and found all of the doors shut.? Or are they just being lazy, arrogant and closed minded?
Of course, isolation of variables is essential to understanding the cause and effect of things. But to claim that the Universe is always an isolated entity is beyond all reason. There is no such thing as always or never. Gates open and gates close, and we know not when, where, and/or by what means or who.
.
B. WHAT THIS, NO CENTER TO THE UNIVERSE?
Scientists are telling us per Google,
"There is no centre of the universe! According to the standard theories of cosmology, the universe started with a "Big Bang" about 14 thousand million years ago and has been expanding ever since. Yet there is no centre to the expansion; it is the same everywhere."
Apparently scientists do not consider the original spot where the Big Bang started as part of the universe. This could only mean that the universe is sandwiched in between two concentric spheres, assuming a symmetrical explosion. If the explosion was non-semmetrical, then the universe would still be sandwiched in between an outer layer and an inner layer, assuming the point of the explosion was surrounded by all the debris which is not unreasonable. But then again, one might conjecture the universe as being a smoke ring blown through a tiny hole. One could almost imagine God smoking a pipe and blowing a smoke ring. He may be even blowing more than one smoke ring, thereby creating multi-verses No matter, there must be a center point of origin and regardless of whether or not scientist include it as part of the universe.
.
C. LOOKING INTO THE DISTANT PAST.
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT WE ARE LOOKING FARTHER BACK INTO TIME AS WE PEER DEEPER INTO SPACE?
We must begin with the fact that there is nothing that can travel faster than light. And because of the vast distances between galaxies, it can take millions of light years for the light from a far distant galaxy to reach our galaxy. This means that an immense amount of time has past by the time we see the light, which means we are looking at history.
With the advent of space travel, our imaginations can go wild with the idea of visiting distant galaxies. Yet science tells us that the deeper we peer into space, then the farther back in time we go. But to be more precise, the deeper we look into space, we see light (or electromagnetic radiation) emitted long, long ago. So this raises the question, "If what we are seeing now actually occurred millions of years ago, then how do we know those objects are still there?" If in truth they are not presently there, then is there really any point in trying to converse with them, let alone attempt to travel to them? This not to say we should not even bother to be aware and study these past events. But they need to be recognized as historical events long past that should not necessarily effect our current day presence.
For an observer to say, "I just saw new stars being born" is not necessarily correct. It is more honest to say "I have seen stars that were born x years ago". To him I would say "If you are going to travel to some distant star, don't be surprised if it is gone before you get there.
Edwin Hubble discovered that the universe appears to be expanding due to the "Doppler Red Shift" he observed of light coming from very distant stars.. From that we have concluded that the more distant starts are "accelerating" away, leading us to theorize that the universe is expanding as a whole attributed to the existence 'dark energy".
But there is something troubling about this. WHAT IS THE POINT THEY ARE EXPANDING FROM? WHERE IS THE CENTER POINT OF THE EXPLOSION? CAN WE NOT SEE LIGHT FROM DISTANT GALAXIES DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM US ON THE OTHER SIDE? WHAT IF THOSE MORE DISTANT STARS ARE NOT RECEDING AWAY FROM US LINEARLY, BUT ARE ACTUALLY CIRCULATING AROUND THE EDGES OF THE UNIVERSE?" IT WOULD STILL BE POSSIBLE TO OBSERVE A RED SHIFT AT THE RIGHT TIMES RELATIVE TO THE POSITION OF THE EARTH? These very simple questions remain to be answered by science, not some arbitrary statements of there being no center or that the universe is an isolated system. If you don't know, then say you don't know.

3. REFERENCE SYSTEMS RESTRICTION..
A reference system within the rational sub-space cannot be used to measure distances to points within the irrational sub-space, and visa versa. The ability to measure distance is restricted to the sub-space in which the measurement is being made.
4. The role of "TIME"
It may be that "time" is the resolving factor between rational space and irrational space. Therefore, it makes sense to speak of "space-time" as one complete entity.
E. IS THE VANISHING POINT ONE OR MANY?
Certainly someone has already considered this question, but just in case, I bring it up now.
Suppose two people are standing at opposite poles of the earth, each looking straight up. The question is;
"ARE THEY LOOKING AT DIFFERENT POINTS IN SPACE OR THE SAME ONE?'. This may sound like a stupid question, but it does deserve an answer, because we do know now that light does bend. If they are in fact the same point in space, then as we gaze into the heavens to the farthest light source from no matter where, are we not starring at the original single point of the Big Bang? And if true, then the universe is a CLOSED SYSTEM that happens to be expanding at the moment, possibly causing the effect of time.
Here are some observations.
As has been known for many centuries in art, as you look at something from an increasing distances, the smaller it becomes until it completely vanishes into a single point. Imagine a perfect cross whose limbs are the same length,d. The farther away you move from it (say distance D), the shorter the limb lengths appear. It would almost seem as if there is an inversely proportional relationship between D & d, whereby D x d = Constant K. This observation seems to hold true no matter in what direction you are looking. However, If we now take a larger cross whose limbs are of length s, we now have to be at a farther distance, S, from it before it vanishes. And where S x s = Constant C, it does not follow that Constant C = Constant K unless there is some other mitigating factor, like time, to produce some fixed universal constant X. Perhaps something like X = K/T(d) = C/T(s), where T(d) might be the time it takes light to travel the distance D & T(s) is the time for light to travel the distance S. But this is just mere conjecture.
Here is another view on the vanishing point which could contradict the idea of it being a single point. Instead of a cross made of wood, imagine the cross is made of two strings. You grab one of the strings at the center and begin to pull. The ends of the string are not secured, but have heavy weights on
them so they can reluctantly move. As you pull, the string beings to bend, and the two ends come closer together. If you pull long enough, the two ends will come together as if they were one.
In this analogy, the string you are pulling on is actually the separate light beams of each point along the lateral length of the string (or coss). And the light beams from each end of the string converge into one before those other light beams emitted from the points closer to the center of the string. In other words, the light being emitted from the cross is bending to the vanishing point where all visibility of the cross is gone.
Of course, this too is conjecture, but it does destroy the prior view. And it further falls in line with the idea that it takes a longer time for the light from the ends of the cross to reach your eye than the light from the center of the cross.

WHAT IS THE "WRONG TRUTH"?
The wrong truth is telling others personal things about yourself about yourself that they do not want to hear. It is too much information that is disrespectful. If you want to confess such a thing about yourself, then tell it to Jesus Christ in private. Of course there are limits if the behavior you are confessing has injured another person.
The wrong truth is extending accusations of wrong doing to and name calling of innocent people and perpetuating conflict...
The wrong truth is telling half truths to hide your own hypocrisies.

Lou Penrose, radio talk show on San Diego KOGO , makes a very important attitudinal observation. He notes there are people who don't believe the Trump economic boom has done anything for them, because they have not seen any change in wages. Penrose correctly posits that whether or not a person sees any increase in their own wages, there are unacknowledged benefits in terms of an improved environment. EXCELLENT POINT! AT LEAST HAVE THE HOPE FOR YOUR OWN FUTURE REALIZING THAT THE BLESSINGS BEFALLING YOUR NEIGHBORS CAN FALL UPON YOU. IT IS FAR BETTER THAN LOOKING AT A HOPELESS "BAH HUMBUG" BLANK PAGE.

The Dualities Of The Universe And The Super Bowl Make The Appearance Of Hypocrisies Unavoidable.
The universe is full of contradictions. Is the universe an isolated system or an opened system? Is a photon a particle or wave? Is spacetime really a fabric or is it just nothingness? Did the universe have a creator or did it just happen "because it needed to happen"? The answers to these questions appears to be "both". Certainly the scientist priest, Georges Lamaitre, who was one of the first to suggest the Big Bang, saw these dualities.
On a more religious level, we can ask:
Does the Bible not appear to be self contradictory? Is there really a God who appears to be absent? If not, then from where does our morality come? But C S Lewis has already answered many of these questions. So If so, then does God's love mean we must forgive murderers despite His commandments? Can love exist without justice? Or is there a limit as suggested by theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer in saying, "Better to do evil than be evil", as he joined in the effort to asssinate Hitler?
On a more carnal human level we can ask:
Is it untruthful to hide our bodies and desires from the public? Should I not confess my sexual preferences to the rest of the world whether they like it or not? Does freedom not give me the right to do whatever I want in expressing myself. Do I not have the right to migrate into any country I want without getting government approval. Or is there good reason to be more conservative and respectful in our behaviour?
Coming from the generation of the sexual revolution, it is easy to see where us older folk might be seen as hypocritical in criticizing this last Sunday's Super Bowl half time performance. But through experience, many of us older folk find good reason to diminish the amount of explicit public indecency such as that demonstrated in the half time act, and if for no other reason than to respect the senses of others. Too much information is as offensive as too much body odor. Too much sex in movies is insulting to the intelligence. It is as bad as urinating in the streets or worse. We know what you've got. There is no need to put it in our face. So please, clean up your act.
And when it comes to hypocrisy, lets try to minimize it. There is already enough of it in today's politics. How do you explain supporting the cries of the ME TOO complaints, while at rhe same time going over the top in objectifying the sexuality of women? As Michael Cain's mother once exclaimed, "If it is not for sale, then don't put it in the window".

FROM THE VERY SMALL TO THE BIG BANG.
INTRODUCTION.
This is a pure mathematical viewpoint and reasoning in an attempt to better understand what science has been telling us today about cosmology and quantum theory. The first chapter deals with the very small, ie, quantum theory, space and apparent nothingness.The second chapter deals with the very large, ie, the BIG BANG . Both are seen as contracting and expanding spheres, the commonality being found in the concept of a virtual singularity, ie, a "point". Chapter 3 is called "Conventional Wisdom Verses Suspicions" wherein I point out my possible deviations from current day thinking.
.
CHAPTER 1.
THE FABRIC OF SPACE, BLACK HOLES, AND THE ESSENCE OF TIME
.
I. PERCEPTION.
.
A. TIME AND SPACE.
What does it mean when we say that time passes by faster or more slowly? What are we really saying?
We are talking about the "rate", T(r), at which time passes, which can also be thought of as a "frequency" similar to electromagnetic radiation. In this analogy, do not confuse long wave length, L, with higher frequency. Longer wave length means slower time rate or frequency which means the slower time passes. The greater the rate (or frequency) of time tics, the faster time passes, and visa versa. A more visual way to see it, imagine a timeline with the tics of a clock separating equal segments, L, of time. The slower time flows, the longer each time segment, L, will be, meaning the rate, T(r), will be less. The exact equation relating frequency to wave length is
L x T(r) = C, the constant speed of light
Now you ask, "How can we talk about the "fabric" of space when there is nothing there?". It was Einstein who first proclaimed that space and gravity interact, claiming that gravity warps space. Now I accept this idea, although it could be that space shapes gravity. No matter, it seems obvious from this that there is something in space we cannot see, and therefore we can speak of space as if it were a "fabric" or maybe even a fluid.
.
B. GIVEN:
1. TO BEGIN, LET'S TALK ABOUT ZERO.
An irrational number is one which has no ending or repeating pattern after the decimal point. An irrational multiplied by an irrational number may or may not yield a rational number. But an irrational number multiplied by any rational number yields another irrational number, EXCEPT FOR "0" WHICH IS DEFINED TO BE A RATIONAL INTEGER. So quite obviously we have an exception that creates a contradiction when it comes to the number zero.
2. FURTHER INVESTIGATION, COLLAPSING SPHERES.
Now consider the case of a virtual circle or sphere collapsing upon its center point.
The definition of a circle or sphere is the locus of points equidistant from a point in space. In a 3D Cartesian reference system, a sphere is defined by R*2 = x*2 + y*2 + z*2., where R is the radius and x,y,z are the coordinates in space. It should be obvious that if R is 0, then x, y, & z are all 0. So far so good.
But another way of defining a sphere is by the rotation of a circle about an axis. And as we all know, C = 2R x PI, where R is the radius of a rational distance & C is the circumference, or the locus of points around the center point of the circle or sphere.
.
C. CONSISTENCY OF REASONING.
BUT PI IS IRRATIONAL, WHICH MEANS THAT C MUST BE IRRATIONAL, WHICH IN TURN MEANS THE LOCUS OF SOME OF THE POINTS EQUIDISTANT FROM THE CENTER ARE IRRATIONAL, WHILE OTHERS MAY BE RATIONAL. (Note: When z = 0 & x = 4 & y =3,; R = 5, all being rational points.) NOW WHEN R BECOMES ZERO (which we assume initially to be rational), THE IRRATIONAL POINTS WHICH WERE IN THE CIRCUMFERENCE ALL CONVERGE UPON WHAT WAS THE RATIONAL CENTER POINT AND MERGE INTO THAT CENTER POINT, THEREBY FORMING A POINT WHICH IS BOTH RATIONAL AND IRRATIONAL. THERE IS NO REASON TO BELIEVE THAT BECAUSE THE RADIUS HAS BECOME ZERO, THEN THOSE IRRATIONAL POINTS THAT FORMED THE CIRCUMFERENCE SIMPLY DISAPPEAR. IT IS MORE CONSISTENT TO VIEW THEM AS OVERLAYING THE RATIONAL CENTER POINT AND MERGING WITH THAT CENTER POINT. THIS IN TURN MEANS THAT ZERO MUST BE BOTH RATIONAL AND IRRATIONAL AT THE SAME TIME, NOT SIMPLY ONE OR THE OTHER. FURTHERMORE, ALL POINTS IN SPACE MUST BE BOTH RATIONAL AND IRRATIONAL. BUT HOW CAN THIS BE? THE ONLY EXPLANATION IS THAT EACH POINT IN SPACE OSCILLATES BETWEEN THE RATIONAL STATE AND THE IRRATIONAL STATE.
.
D. THE DUAL NATURE OF LIGHT.
At this point let me comment upon light and its wave-particle duality nature, because this is where quantum theory begins.
For centuries, scientist have at some times considered light to be a particle called a photon, while at other times considered it to be an electromagnetic wave. Newton and Huygens in the 17th century were among the first to really study light. Newton supported the particle idea and Huygens supported the wave idea. Then early in the 19th century, Young demonstrated his Double Slit experiment that emphasized the wave idea. Others continued like Michelson/Morley, with Einstein and others following up to give us quantum theory.
What has since evolved is a very complicated picture of the photon being both a particle and a wave. This being the case, let me try to draw a simple strait forward analogy of this duality.
Envision a wheel of your car. This is representative of a photon.. Now imagine a huge polarized bar magnet stuck perfectly to the wheel from edge of it , through the center, and to the other edge of the wheel. Now before you begin to drive it, assume the car is up on blocks lifting the wheels off the ground. You now start it, engage the wheels, step on the gas an observe the revolutions per minute. The rate at which the wheel spins is the SPIN FREQUENCY. Now you lower the car to the ground and begin to drive it at the same revolutions per minute as before .
At this point, we now ask 'WHAT IS THE GEOMETRY OF THE MOTION OF THE NORTH POLE OF THE MAGNET RELATIVE TO THE CENTER OF THE WHEEL WHICH IS MOVING LONGITUDINALLY? THE ANSWER IS "A SIGN WAVE" WHICH HAS A WAVE LENGTH EQUAL TO THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE WHEEL AND A FREQUENCY BASED UPON HOW FAST YOU DRIVE THE CAR. THIS MOTION OF THE MAGNET CAUSES AN OSCILLATING ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD TO BE CREATED. THUS, WE HAVE JUST SIMULATED THE PROPERTIES OF A PHOTON AS IT MOVES THROUGH SPACE. SO A PARTICLE AND A WAVE CAN IN FACT EXIST AT THE SAME TIME.
To elaborate a little more the radius of the wheel is R, a rational number. The circumference of the wheel is C, an irrational number and which happens to be the distance traveled along the sinusoidal path by the north pole of the magnet.. The amplitude of the sinusoidal path is R as measured from the center of the wheel., And the linear wavelength of the sinusoidal path from peak to peak corresponds to the longitudinal motion of the wheel, and is 4R. FROM THIS, WE CAN CONCLUDE THAT THE LONGITUDINAL DISTANCE TRAVELED BY A WAVE IS RATIONAL, BUT ITS SINUSOIDAL WAVE DISTANCE IS IRRATIONAL.
Going a little further, let's look at what the SPIN FREQUENCY looks like to an observer standing still in front of your direction of longitudinal motion. To such an observer, the fact of your velocity towards him compresses the spin frequency, making it appear greater in occurrence. In other words, the spin frequency is higher. This is called Doppler Shifting
Now this analogy may not cover all of the intricacies .of light, especially Huygens view that light appears to replicate and distribute itself at every point in space. Although he does not support the particle view, his theory seems to be liken to a cue ball hitting a racked up set of balls on a pool table.
So for now, lets return to the "fabric" of space.
.
E. FURTHER CONJECTURE.
RETURNING TO OUR ORIGINAL DISCUSSION AND PICKING UP FROM SECTION C, WE NOW MUST ASK, "WHAT IS THE NATURE OF THIS OSCILLATION OF A POINT IN SPACE ?". THERE ARE THESE POSSIBILITIES
1. EACH POINT IN SPACE SIMPLY CHANGES ITS "COLOR" FROM RATIONAL TO IRRATIONAL AND BACK AGAIN. IN OTHER WORDS, IT IS SIMPLY REPETITIVELY EXPOSING TWO FACES OF THE SAME COIN.
2. EACH POINT IN SPACE HAS A LITTLE WIGGLE ROOM TO VIBRATE BETWEEN THE RATIONAL AND IRRATIONAL, BEING CONSTRAINED BY AN INFINITESIMAL IRRATIONAL DISTANCE.
3. EACH POINT IN SPACE EXPANDS AND CONTRACTS ITS RADIUS BETWEEN RATIONAL 0 AND THE SMALLEST IRRATIONAL DISTANCE, BEING CONSTRAINED BY THE INFINITESIMAL IRRATIONAL DISTANCE.
4. HOWEVER IN OBSERVING PARTICLE-WAVE DUALITY, CURRENT DAY QUANTUM PHYSICS HAS COME TO REGARD THE IDEA THAT A QUANTUM FORCE FIELD CAN BE SOMEWHAT INDEPENDENT OF MATTER AND OCCUPY SPACE WITHOUT IT HAVING A MASS. IT WAS THE PHOTON THAT FIRST GAVE RISE TO THIS IDEA, BECAUSE IT DEMONSTRATES THE PROPERTIES OF BEING A REAL MATERIAL PARTICLE WITH MASS AND
BEING A MASSLESS ENERGY WAVE. THIS IS KNOWN AS PARTICLE-WAVE DUALITY. SUCH BEING THE CASE, IT IS NOT UNTHINKABLE TO ACCEPT THE IDEA THAT OUR SPACIAL POINT COULD OSCILLATE BETWEEN BEING A MASSLESS FIELD AND A REAL PARTICLE HAVING MASS. IN OTHER WORDS, EACH POINT IN SPACE COULD BE WHAT i WOULD CALL A NOW-YOU-SEE-IT/NOW-YOU-DONT PARTICLE, AKA, A "NUCINUD" ENTITY, PROBABLY ALSO KNOW AS THE ELUSIVE GRAVITON PARTICLE.
5. If the preceding does hold water and IF THE OSCILLATIONS OF ALL POINTS ARE IN SYNC WITH EACH OTHER VIA SOME INTERCONNECTING LINKAGE BETWEEN POINTS (LIKE GRAVITY) , then it is reasonable to say that the fabric of all space is comprised of two subspaces, ie, the rational subspace and the irrational subspace. Based on this idea, we might even conjecture that all of space flips back and forth between the two subspaces, thereby creating a motion picture reality. (Note: Refer to the attached Minkowski graph and envision the x-y plane as progressing through time along the time axis in a flip-flop fashion between the rational an irrational.)
However, it may be that the oscillations of all points are asynchronous, ie, not in sync. And if this is true, then the concept of a synchronous and continuous time across all of space is ka-put, as well as the idea of there being any continuity across space-time.
.
.
.
II. CATCHING UP WITH EINSTEIN.
Einstein first came out with his SPECIAL THEORY OF RELATIVITY which dealt with two reference systems in motion at a constant speed relative to each other. He subsequently came out with his theory of GENERAL RELATIVITY which dealt with two reference systems in variable motions relative to each other, meaning they accelerated and or decelerated relative to each other, which in turn brought into play the consideration of gravity.
.
F. The IMPACT OF VELOCITY, V, UPON TIME.
Einstein, in his first studies of light, proclaimed that, "THE FASTER ONE TRAVELS, THE SLOWER THE RATE OF TIME AND VISA VERSA. So here we see VELOCITY, V, aka SPEED BASED UPON TIME AND DISTANCE, changing the rate at which time passes.. In other words, the greater the speed, V, the less the rate at which time, T(r), passes and visa versa. It would seem as if V & T(r) are inversely proportional to some extent & can be expressed mathematically as:
V x T(r) = K (a fixed constant.)
But T(r) = C / L, where
C = the speed of light
L = the wave length of time,
ie, the distance between tics of the clock.
Therefore, V / L = K / C
In addition to this, Einstein went on to say, "THE FASTER ONE TRAVELS, THE MORE MASS HE GAINS.". We will remember this when we get to gravity.
.
G. THE INCLUSION OF TIME AS A DIMENSION & ITS GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATION.
In his Special Theory Of Relativity, Einstein addressed the relativistic issues of pure motion and time, the result being his recognition of time as a 4th dimension. But apparently he was somewhat remiss in his depicting graphical reference system of how space and time could could be represented. He relied upon another mathematician, Minkowski. One of the pictures attached here is that of Minkowski's graphical concept of space-time which most physicists agree upon. Part of the trick in understanding it is to realize that distance can be represented as time ASSUMING THE SPEED OF LIGHT IS THE UNIT OF MEASURE ALONG THE TIME AXIS. So there is very little difference from the old 3-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system in that regard. But in addition Minkowski added what is called a LIGHT CONE. Now I do not pretend to know what this light-cone purports to represent, but my best guess is that it is representative of the dispersion of light over time. But do not bet on it.
Speaking of reference systems, Einstein played with Non-Euclidian reference systems, envisioning manifolds and Gaussian Field representations. He did so making a distinction between an INERTIAL REFERENCE SYSTEM wherein the reference system is considered to be at absolute rest as opposed to a separate NON-INERTIAL REFERENCE SYSTEM which is moving with respect to an inertial reference system. This is so, because every person has their own unique frame of reference that move with respect to others.
Anyway let's move onward to the more interesting concepts of gravity which Einstein incorporated in his General Theory Of Relativity.
.
H. BLACK HOLES.
From the previous discussion about a collapsing virtual sphere, it should be obvious that this is exactly a description of matter collapsing into a black hole, the only difference being we have now added the presence of matter which exhibits the property of gravity.
If we consider matter to be composed of real rational points in space, then the radius of a black hole must be real, but its circumference, or EVENT HORIZON, must be irrational points in space. Either this or visa versa. No matter, this should give us some insight into the nature of space and matter at the quantum level, where current thought is focused upon multi-dimensionality, particle and string theory.
.
I. MORE ABOUT GRAVITY, G.
First, it is said that gravity travels at the speed of light, no slower and no faster. Secondly, in addition to gravity impacting the shape of space, it has also been proven that gravity has its effects upon time. The closer one is to the source of gravity, THE SLOWER TIME PASSES by. The farther away you are from the center of gravity, THE FASTER TIME PASSES.
It would seem as if G & T(r) are inversely proportional to some extent. In other words, the greater the gravity, the less the rate at which time passes and visa versa. This might be represented by the equation. Thus, we might expand our previous equation to include gravity expressed as
V x G x T(r) = K (a fixed constant.)
or
(V x G) / L = K / C
Remembering Einstein said, "THE FASTER ONE TRAVELS, THE MORE MASS HE GAINS.", we can speculate that it may not be the increase of velocity that slows time directly. It may be that the increase in mass resulting from higher speed produces increased gravity that actually slows time. In this case we could simply omit V from our equation. But for now we will leave it in.
Now this equation may or may not be true, but it does help to understand the inverse relationships between TIME, GRAVITY, and SPEED. We know that G, gravity, is relative to mass. We know that V, velocity is relative to the distance between points in space and time. But we still do not know what the variable TIME is relative to.
.
J. MORE ABOUT GRAVITY "WARPING" SPACE.
Well before Einstein, it was Newton who first introduced the idea that two separate pieces of matter attracted each other via a direct force which he could compute. But when Einstein came along, the picture was changed from a direct force to an indirect force whereby spacetime served as an intermediary. Two pieces of matter in close proximity would come together as a result of their separate respective stretching or squeezing of spacetime and not as the result of a direct force between them.
Einstein finally came up with his equation of General Relativity,
G(uv)=(8pi G/C****)T(uv).
Where: G = Newtons Gravitational Constant
C = The Speed Of Light
pi = the usual irrational constant.
T(uv) = an energy-momentum tensor.
This involves mass, M, & velocity, V.
G(uv) = a curvature tensor.
This includes TIME ..
God only knows what this is,
but let me try to explain as I have heard.
The left side, G(uv), says that space-time is shaped by the right side which represents the distribution of matter. In other words, space-time is malleable, not some unknown infinity.
This may be all fine and dandy, but we need to know, "What is a tensor"?". In mathematics, a tensor is an algebraic object that describes a linear mapping from one set of algebraic objects to another. Objects that tensors may map between include, but are not limited to, vectors and scalars, and, recursively, even other tensors. Tensors are inherently related to vector spaces and their dual spaces, and can take several different forms – for example: a scalar, a vector, a dual vector at a point, or a multi-linear map between vector spaces. Euclidean vectors and scalars (which are often used in elementary physics and engineering applications where general relativity is irrelevant) are the simplest tensors.[1] While tensors are defined independent of any basis, the literature on physics often refers to them by their components in a basis related to a particular coordinate system. The third picture shown here is a diagram of a curvature tensor, but please do not ask me to explain it.
Even given all of this information, how in the world are we suppose to visualize it all.
Einstein said that gravity "warps" space-time. The 2nd attached picture is what has traditionally been known as the trampoline example which is really pathetic. It is suppose to illustrate how a piece of material like earth causes a "gravity well" distortion in spacetime into which another piece of material (not shown) can fall. But this is really a mickey-mouse example, because it still relies upon there being a gravity force to pull the second piece of material down into its web. In addition to that, one might view this picture as the earth pushing spacetime away.
So just exactly what Einstein meant by "warping" space time is totally unclear. Did he mean to imply a pushing away force or a pulling force, because certainly it must be one of the two. Given the discovery of black holes, which Einstein initially uncovered, he must have meant "warping" as the result of a pulling force. But Einstein went a little further and claimed that gravity was a property of space-time. If this is the case, then it must be that every spacial point must be the source of a quantum gravity force, wherein matter enhances the attraction of spacial points like a piece of meat attracting flies.
At this point, I would like to compare Einstein's equation to what we previously came up with, ie, (V x G) / L = K / C.
Restating the equation, we have L x K / C = V x G.
So now we can see the commonality between our equation and Einstein's equation on both the left and ride sides. We don't really care about what our arbitrary K / C is. All that counts is that the pertinent factors of time gravity and velocity are correct in their relationship to each other. And of course, Einstein's equation is more complete and correct.

III. POSTMORTEM.
.
K. MY APOLOGY.
I should mention that the word "QUANTUM" means a distinct unit that can be represented as an "INTERGER" which is not irrational. I see no conflict here, because "QUANTUM" refers to a discrete packet or collection of things, like photons. it also pertains to discrete energy levels THAT DO NOT INCLUDE UNSTABLE IRRATIONAL DISTANCES OF ELECTRONS FROM THE NUCLEUS OF THE ATOM..
But in association with QUANTUM THEORY, there appears to be a popular belief that there exists the smallest size that anything can exist. Quite obviously, in bringing up and applying IRRATIONAL numbers in my depiction of points in space, I have possibly created a schism about what the very smallest size that a thing can be. And quite obviously, I have diverted from current thinking of there being an absolute smallest particle size to thinking that the very smallest particle can completely disappear to zero size and reappear. In other words, we have a "NOW YOU SEE IT, NOW YOU DON'T" , aka NUCINUD, PARTICLE/SPACIAL-POINT. This may conflict with the PLANK CONSTANT idea of there being an absolute smallest size that never goes to zero.
If what I am saying is true, there remains a question as to the exact nature of time. That question is, " Is it not possible that each somewhat autonomous particle/point of space, by virtue of its oscillating size is somehow linked to its neighbors via an oscillating minute wave it produces?". And is it not then possible that the oscillations of all spacial-points be in sync with each other, thus producing the over all effect of time?". "Can each such a spacial point not be the generator of some isotropic radiation?".
.
L. IS PLANKS CONSTANT THE SMALLEST LENGTH?
It is said that the smallest length of distance is PLANKS CONSTANT which is 6.62 x 10**(-34) and that nothing can exists that is smaller than this. MAX PLANK uncovered by experiment his famous equation E = hf, where E is energy, f is frequency and h is his constant. If we substitute MC**(2) for energy and C/£ for frequency, where
M is mass, C is the speed of light, & £ is wave length, then we can come up with
M£ = 2/3 x 10**(-26).
What is important here is that mass and wave length are inversely proportional to each other.
THEREFORE, IF A POINT IN SPACE HAS NO MASS, THEN ITS WAVELENGTH IS AN INFINITE STRAIGHT LINE WHOSE FREQUENCY IS C/infinity, AKA ZERO.
As a side note black holes having an extremely large mass are known to emit low frequency
gravity waves, near sound, when they merge with another black hole. This is not to say that they do not also emit other very high frequency radiation, like gamma and x-rays.
So what is the reasoning behind saying that nothing can be smaller than PLANKS CONSTANT? Is this seemingly just another arbitrary restriction similar to saying that 0 must only be rational, and not irrational?
.
M. A QUESTION OF UNIFORMITY BETWEEN GRAVITY & ELECTROMAGNETICS.
In electromagnetics, there are two interwoven but distinct forces, ie, electrical and magnetic. Could be there is a companion force orthogonal to gravity yet to be discovered?
Perhaps, time is orthogonal to gravity.
.
N. A POSSIBLE EXPLANATION FOR WHY THE WEAK NUCLEAR FORCE IS HELD IN CHECK BY THE STRONG NUCLEAR FORCE.
If the two forces are orthogonal to each other as with electro-magetics, then it may be that the weak nuclear force whose direction is a push outward is held in by an encircling strong nuclear force.
.
X. RECAP - THE "NUCINUD" PARTICLE-POINT.
This writing has theorized the existence of a
NOW-YOU-SEE-IT-NOW-YOU-DONT (aka NUCINUD) PARTICLE-POINT of which all of space is composed.
1)The particle-point is said to oscillate in size from zero to some infinitesimal size. Furthermore, given the current day thinking that treats a massless force field (like a photon) as a real entity, it is conceivable that our nucinud particle-point could oscillate between being a massless force field and being a real particle with mass. This conforms to Einstein and quantum theory recognizing a force field as being independent of matter.
2)The particle-point is the source of gravity (a directional force field) and is enticed by matter to collect inside matter like a bunch of flies being attracted to dead meat. Because of its attraction to other points like itself, it may merge with those other points, thereby increasing the force of its own gravity. And because of its attraction to other particle-points like itself, any motion of the particle-point causes its domain and the domain of neighboring particle- points to be stretched. Furthermore, the particle-point's quantum gravity links it with its adjacent particle-points, thereby providing a linkage between all such particle-points and assuring a synchronous continuity of all space-time.
This conforms to Einstein declaring gravity to be a property of space-time.
3) The particle-point's oscillation period is slowed by the increased presence of its own gravity. This conforms to the observation that gravity slows down time.
4) In addition, there may be a force field that is orthogonal to the gravity force field in a relationship similar to the relationship of electricity to magnetism.
.
Y. CAN A FORCE FIELD EXIST WITHOUT MATTER?
I conclude with this question and a possible answer. Like so many subjects of study we begin to answer one question only to find more questions. My dad used to say "The more you know, the more you dont know."
Returning to the question, it would seem the answer is both yes and no. It depends upon how deeply and broadly you look at it. Einstein's study of the photon, along with others, brought about the theories of quantum physics which is the study of the very small. If we segment all of space into tiny entities, as I have done here, then it is not unreasonable to think of these entities as being links in a chain that can extend for long distances. That each link could be a force field without matter is not unthinkable, which makes the answer "yes", a force field can exist without matter. But in a much broader sense, the chain must have end points secured by matter, which makes the answer "no".
With this view, it is not impossible to see how waves can be propagated through the links of the chain over the chains length by tyng down one end and shaking the other. Even children can see this in playing jump rope.
..
Z. REBUTTLEMENTS:
1. POINTS IN SPACE HAVE NO PROPERTIES LIKE RATIONALITY OR IRRATIONALITY. THE DEFINITION OF A STRAIGHT LINE IS THE SHORTEST DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO POINTS, A & B. ONLY DISTANCE AND/OR TIME CAN BE IRRATIONAL.
ANSWER: Assume you have a "straight" line between points A & B, but the distance is "irrational". If the distance is a "straight" line, then you can never get exactly from point A to point B, because you will either fall short of point B or skip over it claiming to hit point B. So obviously something is amiss.
The possible explanation for this is that something diverted your trip very slightly, causing you not to go in a "straight" line as you presumed. What could that be? Either:
a. You "locus" of points took you slightly off course through an intermediate "irrational point,
or
b. Some mysterious force "bent" your path along the way.
Now consider the distance between A & B as shrinking almost to zero, but it is still irrational. Either that irrational intermediate point is still there or that mysterious force is still there. And as we collapse that distance to zero, there is no reason to believe that anything has changed. Thus, the point must take on the properties of what was exterior to it.

CHAPTER 2.
THE BIG BANG.
.
I. CURRENT UNDERSTANDING.
As a result of both scientific and technological advancement over the last century, it has become pretty clear that our universe began with a BIG BANG. Whether it was caused by a collision of some preexisting entities or caused by the immediate appearance out of nowhere of a singularity. ie a "POINT" may be a concern, but it should be obvious that were it a collision of preexisting entities, then the universe must have existed before the collision, which leads one to question how those entities came about. Therefore, the more reasonable viewpoint is to regard it as starting from a singularity, thereby eliminating the endless search for a beginning.
This BIG BANG CREATION THEORY tells us that both space, time and matter were all created immediately 13.8 billion years ago from a singularity that erupted into an explosion, with matter evolving from a super-heated plasma, that turned into the basic particles of the atom as it cooled, that turned into hydrogen and helium atoms, that turned into stars, which in turn created the heavier elements we know of today. It also tells us that light was created which was everywhere all at once and which ultimately turned into microwaves and can be found today as CMB, COSMIC MICROWAVE BACKGROUND noise that still travel everywhere in the universe.
.
II. QUESTIONS:
.
A. SOME SCIENTIST ARGUE THAT THE UNIVERSE IS A
"ISOLATED SYSTEM".
The word, "SYSTEM", implies some degree of enclosure, and therefore an entity that can be somewhat described. The word "DESCRIBE" also implies an enclosure since the syllable "SCRIBE" means to circumnavigate or enclose.
To point out the differences in system types, science recognizes 3 kinds of systems:
1. "ISOLATED" where neither energy or matter can escape.
An "isolated" system is one completely enclosed an
sealed off. The 2ND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS
pertains to this kind of system. So it may be that some
scientists opt for this type of universe to preserve that
law.
2. "CLOSED" where energy can escape, but not matter.
In other words, there is a small exit.
3. "OPENED" where both energy and matter can escape.
This latter type of system should be self-evident.
At this point let us consider some possible semmetrical enclosures of the universe. We will exclude the unsemmetrical, because they could be like fractals and just too difficult to apply simple math.
So considering only the symmetrical, we have only four possibilities
1. A TETRAHEDRON
2. A CUBE
3. A DODECAHEDRON.
4. A SPHERE.
So which of these would be the most realistic to enclose our universe? Certainly not the first three, because it is most unlikely that our universe would have sharp edges as required by a polyhedron. That leaves us with a sphere.
So let's go back and see if a sphere really is representative of our universe being an isolated system. If the universe is indeed "isolated" and spherical , then there must be a discernable boundary at a rational distance from its center. And if the universe is spherical, then its surface must contain some irrational points as we saw previously in our discussion of a point. This must mean our sphere has holes in it, making it impossible to be an isolated enclosed system.
Of course it can be argued that the universe is not a perfect sphere. But if that is true, then how do you account for what must have been the typical symmetrical radiation pattern of
a shock wave or dispersion of what-ever that is typical of an explosion?
So I would like to know what proof these scientist have of the universe being an isolated system? Have they in fact ventured to the outer boundaries and found all of the doors shut.? Or are they just being lazy, arrogant and closed minded?
Of course, isolation of variables is essential to understanding the cause and effect of things. But to claim that the Universe is always an isolated entity is beyond all reason. There is no such thing as always or never. Gates open and gates close, and we know not when, where, and/or by what means or who.
.
B. WHAT THIS, NO CENTER TO THE UNIVERSE?
Scientists are telling us per Google,
"There is no centre of the universe! According to the standard theories of cosmology, the universe started with a "Big Bang" about 14 thousand million years ago and has been expanding ever since. Yet there is no centre to the expansion; it is the same everywhere."
Apparently scientists do not consider the original spot where the Big Bang started as part of the universe. This could only mean that the universe is sandwiched in between two concentric spheres, assuming a symmetrical explosion. If the explosion was non-semmetrical, then the universe would still be sandwiched in between an outer layer and an inner layer, assuming the point of the explosion was surrounded by all the debris which is not unreasonable. But then again, one might conjecture the universe as being a smoke ring blown through a tiny hole. One could almost imagine God smoking a pipe and blowing a smoke ring. He may be even blowing more than one smoke ring, thereby creating multi-verses No matter, there must be a center point of origin and regardless of whether or not scientist include it as part of the universe.
.
C. LOOKING INTO THE DISTANT PAST.
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT WE ARE LOOKING FARTHER BACK INTO TIME AS WE PEER DEEPER INTO SPACE?
We must begin with the fact that there is nothing that can travel faster than light. And because of the vast distances between galaxies, it can take millions of light years for the light from a far distant galaxy to reach our galaxy. This means that an immense amount of time has past by the time we see the light, which means we are looking at history.
With the advent of space travel, our imaginations can go wild with the idea of visiting distant galaxies. Yet science tells us that the deeper we peer into space, then the farther back in time we go. But to be more precise, the deeper we look into space, we see light (or electromagnetic radiation) emitted long, long ago. So this raises the question, "If what we are seeing now actually occurred millions of years ago, then how do we know those objects are still there?" If in truth they are not presently there, then is there really any point in trying to converse with them, let alone attempt to travel to them? This not to say we should not even bother to be aware and study these past events. But they need to be recognized as historical events long past that should not necessarily effect our current day presence.
For an observer to say, "I just saw new stars being born" is not necessarily correct. It is more honest to say "I have seen stars that were born x years ago". To him I would say "If you are going to travel to some distant star, don't be surprised if it is gone before you get there.
Edwin Hubble discovered that the universe appears to be expanding due to the "Doppler Red Shift" he observed of light coming from very distant stars.. From that we have concluded that the more distant starts are "accelerating" away, leading us to theorize that the universe is expanding as a whole attributed to the existence 'dark energy".
But there is something troubling about this. WHAT IS THE POINT THEY ARE EXPANDING FROM? WHERE IS THE CENTER POINT OF THE EXPLOSION? CAN WE NOT SEE LIGHT FROM DISTANT GALAXIES DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM US ON THE OTHER SIDE? WHAT IF THOSE MORE DISTANT STARS ARE NOT RECEDING AWAY FROM US LINEARLY, BUT ARE ACTUALLY CIRCULATING AROUND THE EDGES OF THE UNIVERSE?" IT WOULD STILL BE POSSIBLE TO OBSERVE A RED SHIFT AT THE RIGHT TIMES RELATIVE TO THE POSITION OF THE EARTH? These very simple questions remain to be answered by science, not some arbitrary statements of there being no center or that the universe is an isolated system. If you don't know, then say you don't know.

END OF STORY. (Older notes from here on)
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
D. IS THE VANISHING POINT ONE OR MANY?
Certainly someone has already considered this question, but just in case, I bring it up now.
Suppose two people are standing at opposite poles of the earth, each looking straight up. The question is;
"ARE THEY LOOKING AT DIFFERENT POINTS IN SPACE OR THE SAME ONE?'. This may sound like a stupid question, but it does deserve an answer, because we do know now that light does bend. If they are in fact the same point in space, then as we gaze into the heavens to the farthest light source from no matter where, are we not starring at the original single point of the Big Bang? And if true, then the universe is a CLOSED SYSTEM that happens to be expanding at the moment, possibly causing the effect of time.
Here are some observations.
As has been known for many centuries in art, as you look at something from an increasing distances, the smaller it becomes until it completely vanishes into a single point. Imagine a perfect cross whose limbs are the same length,d. The farther away you move from it (say distance D), the shorter the limb lengths appear. It would almost seem as if there is an inversely proportional relationship between D & d, whereby D x d = Constant K. This observation seems to hold true no matter in what direction you are looking. However, If we now take a larger cross whose limbs are of length s, we now have to be at a farther distance, S, from it before it vanishes. And where S x s = Constant C, it does not follow that Constant C = Constant K unless there is some other mitigating factor, like time, to produce some fixed universal constant X. Perhaps something like X = K/T(d) = C/T(s), where T(d) might be the time it takes light to travel the distance D & T(s) is the time for light to travel the distance S. But this is just mere conjecture.
Here is another view on the vanishing point which could contradict the idea of it being a single point. Instead of a cross made of wood, imagine the cross is made of two strings. You grab one of the strings at the center and begin to pull. The ends of the string are not secured, but have heavy weights on
them so they can reluctantly move. As you pull, the string beings to bend, and the two ends come closer together. If you pull long enough, the two ends will come together as if they were one.
In this analogy, the string you are pulling on is actually the separate light beams of each point along the lateral length of the string (or coss). And the light beams from each end of the string converge into one before those other light beams emitted from the points closer to the center of the string. In other words, the light being emitted from the cross is bending to the vanishing point where all visibility of the cross is gone.
Of course, this too is conjecture, but it does destroy the prior view. And it further falls in line with the idea that it takes a longer time for the light from the ends of the cross to reach your eye than the light from the center of the cross.
E. MEASUREMENTS IN SPACE.
1. The ABILITY TO MEASURE requires the ability to divide
that which is being measured into smaller, but equal, parts.
2. The distance between a rational point in space and an irrational point in space is immeasurable. You cannot measure the distance between the two.
3. REFERENCE SYSTEMS RESTRICTION..
A reference system within the rational sub-space cannot be used to measure distances to points within the irrational sub-space, and visa versa. The ability to measure distance is restricted to the sub-space in which the measurement is being made.
4.Measurement of distance is possible within the irrational
sub-space. Example- The distance between 1/3 and 4/7 is
12/21 - 7/21 = 5/21
5 PARTICLE CENTRALITY.
If the surface of a sphere is in rational space, then its center
is in irrational space. If the center of a sphere is in rational space, then its surface is in irrational space. This may be the reason quantum physics is different from relativity.
6. The role of "TIME"
It may be that "time" is the resolving factor between rational space and irrational space. Therefore, it makes sense to speak of "space-time" as one complete entity. For a truly universal "closed system" to exist, it must include the factor of "time".
INTRODUCTION.
This is a pure mathematical viewpoint and reasoning in an attempt to better understand what science has been telling us today about cosmology and quantum theory. The first chapter deals with the very small, ie, quantum theory, space and apparent nothingness.The second chapter deals with the very large, ie, the BIG BANG . Both are seen as contracting and expanding spheres, the commonality being found in the concept of a virtual singularity, ie, a "point". Chapter 3 is called "Conventional Wisdom Verses Suspicions" wherein I point out my possible deviations from current day thinking.
.
CHAPTER 1.
THE FABRIC OF SPACE, BLACK HOLES, AND THE ESSENCE OF TIME
.
I. PERCEPTION.
.
A. TIME AND SPACE.
What does it mean when we say that time passes by faster or more slowly? What are we really saying?
We are talking about the "rate", T(r), at which time passes, which can also be thought of as a "frequency" similar to electromagnetic radiation. In this analogy, do not confuse long wave length, L, with higher frequency. Longer wave length means slower time rate or frequency which means the slower time passes. The greater the rate (or frequency) of time tics, the faster time passes, and visa versa. A more visual way to see it, imagine a timeline with the tics of a clock separating equal segments, L, of time. The slower time flows, the longer each time segment, L, will be, meaning the rate, T(r), will be less. The exact equation relating frequency to wave length is
L x T(r) = C, the constant speed of light
Now you ask, "How can we talk about the "fabric" of space when there is nothing there?". It was Einstein who first proclaimed that space and gravity interact, claiming that gravity warps space. Now I accept this idea, although it could be that space shapes gravity. No matter, it seems obvious from this that there is something in space we cannot see, and therefore we can speak of space as if it were a "fabric" or maybe even a fluid.
.
B. GIVEN:
1. TO BEGIN, LET'S TALK ABOUT ZERO.
An irrational number is one which has no ending or repeating pattern after the decimal point. An irrational multiplied by an irrational number may or may not yield a rational number. But an irrational number multiplied by any rational number yields another irrational number, EXCEPT FOR "0" WHICH IS DEFINED TO BE A RATIONAL INTEGER. So quite obviously we have an exception that creates a contradiction when it comes to the number zero.
2. FURTHER INVESTIGATION, COLLAPSING SPHERES.
Now consider the case of a virtual circle or sphere collapsing upon its center point.
The definition of a circle or sphere is the locus of points equidistant from a point in space. In a 3D Cartesian reference system, a sphere is defined by R*2 = x*2 + y*2 + z*2., where R is the radius and x,y,z are the coordinates in space. It should be obvious that if R is 0, then x, y, & z are all 0. So far so good.
But another way of defining a sphere is by the rotation of a circle about an axis. And as we all know, C = 2R x PI, where R is the radius of a rational distance & C is the circumference, or the locus of points around the center point of the circle or sphere.
.
C. CONSISTENCY OF REASONING.
BUT PI IS IRRATIONAL, WHICH MEANS THAT C MUST BE IRRATIONAL, WHICH IN TURN MEANS THE LOCUS OF SOME OF THE POINTS EQUIDISTANT FROM THE CENTER ARE IRRATIONAL, WHILE OTHERS MAY BE RATIONAL. (Note: When z = 0 & x = 4 & y =3,; R = 5, all being rational points.) NOW WHEN R BECOMES ZERO (which we assume initially to be rational), THE IRRATIONAL POINTS WHICH WERE IN THE CIRCUMFERENCE ALL CONVERGE UPON WHAT WAS THE RATIONAL CENTER POINT AND MERGE INTO THAT CENTER POINT, THEREBY FORMING A POINT WHICH IS BOTH RATIONAL AND IRRATIONAL. THERE IS NO REASON TO BELIEVE THAT BECAUSE THE RADIUS HAS BECOME ZERO, THEN THOSE IRRATIONAL POINTS THAT FORMED THE CIRCUMFERENCE SIMPLY DISAPPEAR. IT IS MORE CONSISTENT TO VIEW THEM AS OVERLAYING THE RATIONAL CENTER POINT AND MERGING WITH THAT CENTER POINT. THIS IN TURN MEANS THAT ZERO MUST BE BOTH RATIONAL AND IRRATIONAL AT THE SAME TIME, NOT SIMPLY ONE OR THE OTHER. FURTHERMORE, ALL POINTS IN SPACE MUST BE BOTH RATIONAL AND IRRATIONAL. BUT HOW CAN THIS BE? THE ONLY EXPLANATION IS THAT EACH POINT IN SPACE OSCILLATES BETWEEN THE RATIONAL STATE AND THE IRRATIONAL STATE.
.
D. THE DUAL NATURE OF LIGHT.
At this point let me comment upon light and its wave-particle duality nature, because this is where quantum theory begins.
For centuries, scientist have at some times considered light to be a particle called a photon, while at other times considered it to be an electromagnetic wave. Newton and Huygens in the 17th century were among the first to really study light. Newton supported the particle idea and Huygens supported the wave idea. Then early in the 19th century, Young demonstrated his Double Slit experiment that emphasized the wave idea. Others continued like Michelson/Morley, with Einstein and others following up to give us quantum theory.
What has since evolved is a very complicated picture of the photon being both a particle and a wave. This being the case, let me try to draw a simple strait forward analogy of this duality.
Envision a wheel of your car. This is representative of a photon.. Now imagine a huge polarized bar magnet stuck perfectly to the wheel from edge of it , through the center, and to the other edge of the wheel. Now before you begin to drive it, assume the car is up on blocks lifting the wheels off the ground. You now start it, engage the wheels, step on the gas an observe the revolutions per minute. The rate at which the wheel spins is the SPIN FREQUENCY. Now you lower the car to the ground and begin to drive it at the same revolutions per minute as before .
At this point, we now ask 'WHAT IS THE GEOMETRY OF THE MOTION OF THE NORTH POLE OF THE MAGNET RELATIVE TO THE CENTER OF THE WHEEL WHICH IS MOVING LONGITUDINALLY? THE ANSWER IS "A SIGN WAVE" WHICH HAS A WAVE LENGTH EQUAL TO THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE WHEEL AND A FREQUENCY BASED UPON HOW FAST YOU DRIVE THE CAR. THIS MOTION OF THE MAGNET CAUSES AN OSCILLATING ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD TO BE CREATED. THUS, WE HAVE JUST SIMULATED THE PROPERTIES OF A PHOTON AS IT MOVES THROUGH SPACE. SO A PARTICLE AND A WAVE CAN IN FACT EXIST AT THE SAME TIME.
To elaborate a little more the radius of the wheel is R, a rational number. The circumference of the wheel is C, an irrational number and which happens to be the distance traveled along the sinusoidal path by the north pole of the magnet.. The amplitude of the sinusoidal path is R as measured from the center of the wheel., And the linear wavelength of the sinusoidal path from peak to peak corresponds to the longitudinal motion of the wheel, and is 4R. FROM THIS, WE CAN CONCLUDE THAT THE LONGITUDINAL DISTANCE TRAVELED BY A WAVE IS RATIONAL, BUT ITS SINUSOIDAL WAVE DISTANCE IS IRRATIONAL.
Going a little further, let's look at what the SPIN FREQUENCY looks like to an observer standing still in front of your direction of longitudinal motion. To such an observer, the fact of your velocity towards him compresses the spin frequency, making it appear greater in occurrence. In other words, the spin frequency is higher. This is called Doppler Shifting
Now this analogy may not cover all of the intricacies .of light, especially Huygens view that light appears to replicate and distribute itself at every point in space. Although he does not support the particle view, his theory seems to be liken to a cue ball hitting a racked up set of balls on a pool table.
So for now, lets return to the "fabric" of space.
.
E. FURTHER CONJECTURE.
RETURNING TO OUR ORIGINAL DISCUSSION AND PICKING UP FROM SECTION C, WE NOW MUST ASK, "WHAT IS THE NATURE OF THIS OSCILLATION OF A POINT IN SPACE ?". THERE ARE THESE POSSIBILITIES
1. EACH POINT IN SPACE SIMPLY CHANGES ITS "COLOR" FROM RATIONAL TO IRRATIONAL AND BACK AGAIN. IN OTHER WORDS, IT IS SIMPLY REPETITIVELY EXPOSING TWO FACES OF THE SAME COIN.
2. EACH POINT IN SPACE HAS A LITTLE WIGGLE ROOM TO VIBRATE BETWEEN THE RATIONAL AND IRRATIONAL, BEING CONSTRAINED BY AN INFINITESIMAL IRRATIONAL DISTANCE.
3. EACH POINT IN SPACE EXPANDS AND CONTRACTS ITS RADIUS BETWEEN RATIONAL 0 AND THE SMALLEST IRRATIONAL DISTANCE, BEING CONSTRAINED BY THE INFINITESIMAL IRRATIONAL DISTANCE.
4. HOWEVER IN OBSERVING PARTICLE-WAVE DUALITY, CURRENT DAY QUANTUM PHYSICS HAS COME TO REGARD THE IDEA THAT A QUANTUM FORCE FIELD CAN BE SOMEWHAT INDEPENDENT OF MATTER AND OCCUPY SPACE WITHOUT IT HAVING A MASS. IT WAS THE PHOTON THAT FIRST GAVE RISE TO THIS IDEA, BECAUSE IT DEMONSTRATES THE PROPERTIES OF BEING A REAL MATERIAL PARTICLE WITH MASS AND
BEING A MASSLESS ENERGY WAVE. THIS IS KNOWN AS PARTICLE-WAVE DUALITY. SUCH BEING THE CASE, IT IS NOT UNTHINKABLE TO ACCEPT THE IDEA THAT OUR SPACIAL POINT COULD OSCILLATE BETWEEN BEING A MASSLESS FIELD AND A REAL PARTICLE HAVING MASS. IN OTHER WORDS, EACH POINT IN SPACE COULD BE WHAT i WOULD CALL A NOW-YOU-SEE-IT/NOW-YOU-DONT PARTICLE, AKA, A "NUCINUD" ENTITY, PROBABLY ALSO KNOW AS THE ELUSIVE GRAVITON PARTICLE.
5. If the preceding does hold water and IF THE OSCILLATIONS OF ALL POINTS ARE IN SYNC WITH EACH OTHER VIA SOME INTERCONNECTING LINKAGE BETWEEN POINTS (LIKE GRAVITY) , then it is reasonable to say that the fabric of all space is comprised of two subspaces, ie, the rational subspace and the irrational subspace. Based on this idea, we might even conjecture that all of space flips back and forth between the two subspaces, thereby creating a motion picture reality. (Note: Refer to the attached Minkowski graph and envision the x-y plane as progressing through time along the time axis in a flip-flop fashion between the rational an irrational.)
However, it may be that the oscillations of all points are asynchronous, ie, not in sync. And if this is true, then the concept of a synchronous and continuous time across all of space is ka-put, as well as the idea of there being any continuity across space-time.
.

II. CATCHING UP WITH EINSTEIN.
Einstein first came out with his SPECIAL THEORY OF RELATIVITY which dealt with two reference systems in motion at a constant speed relative to each other. He subsequently came out with his theory of GENERAL RELATIVITY which dealt with two reference systems in variable motions relative to each other, meaning they accelerated and or decelerated relative to each other, which in turn brought into play the consideration of gravity.
.
F. The IMPACT OF VELOCITY, V, UPON TIME.
Einstein, in his first studies of light, proclaimed that, "THE FASTER ONE TRAVELS, THE SLOWER THE RATE OF TIME AND VISA VERSA. So here we see VELOCITY, V, aka SPEED BASED UPON TIME AND DISTANCE, changing the rate at which time passes.. In other words, the greater the speed, V, the less the rate at which time, T(r), passes and visa versa. It would seem as if V & T(r) are inversely proportional to some extent & can be expressed mathematically as:
V x T(r) = K (a fixed constant.)
But T(r) = C / L, where
C = the speed of light
L = the wave length of time,
ie, the distance between tics of the clock.
Therefore, V / L = K / C
In addition to this, Einstein went on to say, "THE FASTER ONE TRAVELS, THE MORE MASS HE GAINS.". We will remember this when we get to gravity.
.
G. THE INCLUSION OF TIME AS A DIMENSION & ITS GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATION.
In his Special Theory Of Relativity, Einstein addressed the relativistic issues of pure motion and time, the result being his recognition of time as a 4th dimension. But apparently he was somewhat remiss in his depicting graphical reference system of how space and time could could be represented. He relied upon another mathematician, Minkowski. One of the pictures attached here is that of Minkowski's graphical concept of space-time which most physicists agree upon. Part of the trick in understanding it is to realize that distance can be represented as time ASSUMING THE SPEED OF LIGHT IS THE UNIT OF MEASURE ALONG THE TIME AXIS. So there is very little difference from the old 3-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system in that regard. But in addition Minkowski added what is called a LIGHT CONE. Now I do not pretend to know what this light-cone purports to represent, but my best guess is that it is representative of the dispersion of light over time. But do not bet on it.
Speaking of reference systems, Einstein played with Non-Euclidian reference systems, envisioning manifolds and Gaussian Field representations. He did so making a distinction between an INERTIAL REFERENCE SYSTEM wherein the reference system is considered to be at absolute rest as opposed to a separate NON-INERTIAL REFERENCE SYSTEM which is moving with respect to an inertial reference system. This is so, because every person has their own unique frame of reference that move with respect to others.
Anyway let's move onward to the more interesting concepts of gravity which Einstein incorporated in his General Theory Of Relativity.
.
H. BLACK HOLES.
From the previous discussion about a collapsing virtual sphere, it should be obvious that this is exactly a description of matter collapsing into a black hole, the only difference being we have now added the presence of matter which exhibits the property of gravity.
If we consider matter to be composed of real rational points in space, then the radius of a black hole must be real, but its circumference, or EVENT HORIZON, must be irrational points in space. Either this or visa versa. No matter, this should give us some insight into the nature of space and matter at the quantum level, where current thought is focused upon multi-dimensionality, particle and string theory.
.
I. MORE ABOUT GRAVITY, G.
First, it is said that gravity travels at the speed of light, no slower and no faster. Secondly, in addition to gravity impacting the shape of space, it has also been proven that gravity has its effects upon time. The closer one is to the source of gravity, THE SLOWER TIME PASSES by. The farther away you are from the center of gravity, THE FASTER TIME PASSES.
It would seem as if G & T(r) are inversely proportional to some extent. In other words, the greater the gravity, the less the rate at which time passes and visa versa. This might be represented by the equation. Thus, we might expand our previous equation to include gravity expressed as
V x G x T(r) = K (a fixed constant.)
or
(V x G) / L = K / C
Remembering Einstein said, "THE FASTER ONE TRAVELS, THE MORE MASS HE GAINS.", we can speculate that it may not be the increase of velocity that slows time directly. It may be that the increase in mass resulting from higher speed produces increased gravity that actually slows time. In this case we could simply omit V from our equation. But for now we will leave it in.
Now this equation may or may not be true, but it does help to understand the inverse relationships between TIME, GRAVITY, and SPEED. We know that G, gravity, is relative to mass. We know that V, velocity is relative to the distance between points in space and time. But we still do not know what the variable TIME is relative to.
.
J. MORE ABOUT GRAVITY "WARPING" SPACE.
Well before Einstein, it was Newton who first introduced the idea that two separate pieces of matter attracted each other via a direct force which he could compute. But when Einstein came along, the picture was changed from a direct force to an indirect force whereby spacetime served as an intermediary. Two pieces of matter in close proximity would come together as a result of their separate respective stretching or squeezing of spacetime and not as the result of a direct force between them.
Einstein finally came up with his equation of General Relativity,
G(uv)=(8pi G/C****)T(uv).
Where: G = Newtons Gravitational Constant
C = The Speed Of Light
pi = the usual irrational constant.
T(uv) = an energy-momentum tensor.
This involves mass, M, & velocity, V.
G(uv) = a curvature tensor.
This includes TIME ..
God only knows what this is,
but let me try to explain as I have heard.
The left side, G(uv), says that space-time is shaped by the right side which represents the distribution of matter. In other words, space-time is malleable, not some unknown infinity.
This may be all fine and dandy, but we need to know, "What is a tensor"?". In mathematics, a tensor is an algebraic object that describes a linear mapping from one set of algebraic objects to another. Objects that tensors may map between include, but are not limited to, vectors and scalars, and, recursively, even other tensors. Tensors are inherently related to vector spaces and their dual spaces, and can take several different forms – for example: a scalar, a vector, a dual vector at a point, or a multi-linear map between vector spaces. Euclidean vectors and scalars (which are often used in elementary physics and engineering applications where general relativity is irrelevant) are the simplest tensors.[1] While tensors are defined independent of any basis, the literature on physics often refers to them by their components in a basis related to a particular coordinate system. The third picture shown here is a diagram of a curvature tensor, but please do not ask me to explain it.
Even given all of this information, how in the world are we suppose to visualize it all.
Einstein said that gravity "warps" space-time. The 2nd attached picture is what has traditionally been known as the trampoline example which is really pathetic. It is suppose to illustrate how a piece of material like earth causes a "gravity well" distortion in spacetime into which another piece of material (not shown) can fall. But this is really a mickey-mouse example, because it still relies upon there being a gravity force to pull the second piece of material down into its web. In addition to that, one might view this picture as the earth pushing spacetime away.
So just exactly what Einstein meant by "warping" space time is totally unclear. Did he mean to imply a pushing away force or a pulling force, because certainly it must be one of the two. Given the discovery of black holes, which Einstein initially uncovered, he must have meant "warping" as the result of a pulling force. But Einstein went a little further and claimed that gravity was a property of space-time. If this is the case, then it must be that every spacial point must be the source of a quantum gravity force, wherein matter enhances the attraction of spacial points like a piece of meat attracting flies.
At this point, I would like to compare Einstein's equation to what we previously came up with, ie, (V x G) / L = K / C.
Restating the equation, we have L x K / C = V x G.
So now we can see the commonality between our equation and Einstein's equation on both the left and ride sides. We don't really care about what our arbitrary K / C is. All that counts is that the pertinent factors of time gravity and velocity are correct in their relationship to each other. And of course, Einstein's equation is more complete and correct.

III. POSTMORTEM.
.
K. MY APOLOGY.
I should mention that the word "QUANTUM" means a distinct unit that can be represented as an "INTERGER" which is not irrational. I see no conflict here, because "QUANTUM" refers to a discrete packet or collection of things, like photons. it also pertains to discrete energy levels THAT DO NOT INCLUDE UNSTABLE IRRATIONAL DISTANCES OF ELECTRONS FROM THE NUCLEUS OF THE ATOM..
But in association with QUANTUM THEORY, there appears to be a popular belief that there exists the smallest size that anything can exist. Quite obviously, in bringing up and applying IRRATIONAL numbers in my depiction of points in space, I have possibly created a schism about what the very smallest size that a thing can be. And quite obviously, I have diverted from current thinking of there being an absolute smallest particle size to thinking that the very smallest particle can completely disappear to zero size and reappear. In other words, we have a "NOW YOU SEE IT, NOW YOU DON'T" , aka NUCINUD, PARTICLE/SPACIAL-POINT. This may conflict with the PLANK CONSTANT idea of there being an absolute smallest size that never goes to zero.
If what I am saying is true, there remains a question as to the exact nature of time. That question is, " Is it not possible that each somewhat autonomous particle/point of space, by virtue of its oscillating size is somehow linked to its neighbors via an oscillating minute wave it produces?". And is it not then possible that the oscillations of all spacial-points be in sync with each other, thus producing the over all effect of time?". "Can each such a spacial point not be the generator of some isotropic radiation?".
.
L. IS PLANKS CONSTANT THE SMALLEST LENGTH?
It is said that the smallest length of distance is PLANKS CONSTANT which is 6.62 x 10**(-34) and that nothing can exists that is smaller than this. MAX PLANK uncovered by experiment his famous equation E = hf, where E is energy, f is frequency and h is his constant. If we substitute MC**(2) for energy and C/£ for frequency, where
M is mass, C is the speed of light, & £ is wave length, then we can come up with
M£ = 2/3 x 10**(-26).
What is important here is that mass and wave length are inversely proportional to each other.
THEREFORE, IF A POINT IN SPACE HAS NO MASS, THEN ITS WAVELENGTH IS AN INFINITE STRAIGHT LINE WHOSE FREQUENCY IS C/infinity, AKA ZERO.
As a side note black holes having an extremely large mass are known to emit low frequency
gravity waves, near sound, when they merge with another black hole. This is not to say that they do not also emit other very high frequency radiation, like gamma and x-rays.
So what is the reasoning behind saying that nothing can be smaller than PLANKS CONSTANT? Is this seemingly just another arbitrary restriction similar to saying that 0 must only be rational, and not irrational?
.
M. A QUESTION OF UNIFORMITY BETWEEN GRAVITY & ELECTROMAGNETICS.
In electromagnetics, there are two interwoven but distinct forces, ie, electrical and magnetic. Could be there is a companion force orthogonal to gravity yet to be discovered?
Perhaps, time is orthogonal to gravity.
.
N. A POSSIBLE EXPLANATION FOR WHY THE WEAK NUCLEAR FORCE IS HELD IN CHECK BY THE STRONG NUCLEAR FORCE.
If the two forces are orthogonal to each other as with electro-magetics, then it may be that the weak nuclear force whose direction is a push outward is held in by an encircling strong nuclear force.
.
X. RECAP - THE "NUCINUD" PARTICLE-POINT.
This writing has theorized the existence of a
NOW-YOU-SEE-IT-NOW-YOU-DONT (aka NUCINUD) PARTICLE-POINT of which all of space is composed.
1)The particle-point is said to oscillate in size from zero to some infinitesimal size. Furthermore, given the current day thinking that treats a massless force field (like a photon) as a real entity, it is conceivable that our nucinud particle-point could oscillate between being a massless force field and being a real particle with mass. This conforms to Einstein and quantum theory recognizing a force field as being independent of matter.
2)The particle-point is the source of gravity (a directional force field) and is enticed by matter to collect inside matter like a bunch of flies being attracted to dead meat. Because of its attraction to other points like itself, it may merge with those other points, thereby increasing the force of its own gravity. And because of its attraction to other particle-points like itself, any motion of the particle-point causes its domain and the domain of neighboring particle- points to be stretched. Furthermore, the particle-point's quantum gravity links it with its adjacent particle-points, thereby providing a linkage between all such particle-points and assuring a synchronous continuity of all space-time.
This conforms to Einstein declaring gravity to be a property of space-time.
3) The particle-point's oscillation period is slowed by the increased presence of its own gravity. This conforms to the observation that gravity slows down time.
4) In addition, there may be a force field that is orthogonal to the gravity force field in a relationship similar to the relationship of electricity to magnetism.
.
Y. CAN A FORCE FIELD EXIST WITHOUT MATTER?
I conclude with this question and a possible answer. Like so many subjects of study we begin to answer one question only to find more questions. My dad used to say "The more you know, the more you dont know."
Returning to the question, it would seem the answer is both yes and no. It depends upon how deeply and broadly you look at it. Einstein's study of the photon, along with others, brought about the theories of quantum physics which is the study of the very small. If we segment all of space into tiny entities, as I have done here, then it is not unreasonable to think of these entities as being links in a chain that can extend for long distances. That each link could be a force field without matter is not unthinkable, which makes the answer "yes", a force field can exist without matter. But in a much broader sense, the chain must have end points secured by matter, which makes the answer "no".
With this view, it is not impossible to see how waves can be propagated through the links of the chain over the chains length by tyng down one end and shaking the other. Even children can see this in playing jump rope.
..
Z. REBUTTLEMENTS:
1. POINTS IN SPACE HAVE NO PROPERTIES LIKE RATIONALITY OR IRRATIONALITY. THE DEFINITION OF A STRAIGHT LINE IS THE SHORTEST DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO POINTS, A & B. ONLY DISTANCE AND/OR TIME CAN BE IRRATIONAL.
ANSWER: Assume you have a "straight" line between points A & B, but the distance is "irrational". If the distance is a "straight" line, then you can never get exactly from point A to point B, because you will either fall short of point B or skip over it claiming to hit point B. So obviously something is amiss.
The possible explanation for this is that something diverted your trip very slightly, causing you not to go in a "straight" line as you presumed. What could that be? Either:
a. You "locus" of points took you slightly off course through an intermediate "irrational point,
or
b. Some mysterious force "bent" your path along the way.
Now consider the distance between A & B as shrinking almost to zero, but it is still irrational. Either that irrational intermediate point is still there or that mysterious force is still there. And as we collapse that distance to zero, there is no reason to believe that anything has changed. Thus, the point must take on the properties of what was exterior to it.

CHAPTER 2.
THE BIG BANG.
.
I. CURRENT UNDERSTANDING.
As a result of both scientific and technological advancement over the last century, it has become pretty clear that our universe began with a BIG BANG. Whether it was caused by a collision of some preexisting entities or caused by the immediate appearance out of nowhere of a singularity. ie a "POINT" may be a concern, but it should be obvious that were it a collision of preexisting entities, then the universe must have existed before the collision, which leads one to question how those entities came about. Therefore, the more reasonable viewpoint is to regard it as starting from a singularity, thereby eliminating the endless search for a beginning.
This BIG BANG CREATION THEORY tells us that both space, time and matter were all created immediately 13.8 billion years ago from a singularity that erupted into an explosion, with matter evolving from a super-heated plasma, that turned into the basic particles of the atom as it cooled, that turned into hydrogen and helium atoms, that turned into stars, which in turn created the heavier elements we know of today. It also tells us that light was created which was everywhere all at once and which ultimately turned into microwaves and can be found today as CMB, COSMIC MICROWAVE BACKGROUND noise that still travel everywhere in the universe.
.
II. QUESTIONS:
.
A. SOME SCIENTIST ARGUE THAT THE UNIVERSE IS A
"ISOLATED SYSTEM".
The word, "SYSTEM", implies some degree of enclosure, and therefore an entity that can be somewhat described. The word "DESCRIBE" also implies an enclosure since the syllable "SCRIBE" means to circumnavigate or enclose.
To point out the differences in system types, science recognizes 3 kinds of systems:
1. "ISOLATED" where neither energy or matter can escape.
An "isolated" system is one completely enclosed an
sealed off. The 2ND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS
pertains to this kind of system. So it may be that some
scientists opt for this type of universe to preserve that
law.
2. "CLOSED" where energy can escape, but not matter.
In other words, there is a small exit.
3. "OPENED" where both energy and matter can escape.
This latter type of system should be self-evident.
At this point let us consider some possible semmetrical enclosures of the universe. We will exclude the unsemmetrical, because they could be like fractals and just too difficult to apply simple math.
So considering only the symmetrical, we have only four possibilities
1. A TETRAHEDRON
2. A CUBE
3. A DODECAHEDRON.
4. A SPHERE.
So which of these would be the most realistic to enclose our universe? Certainly not the first three, because it is most unlikely that our universe would have sharp edges as required by a polyhedron. That leaves us with a sphere.
So let's go back and see if a sphere really is representative of our universe being an isolated system. If the universe is indeed "isolated" and spherical , then there must be a discernable boundary at a rational distance from its center. And if the universe is spherical, then its surface must contain some irrational points as we saw previously in our discussion of a point. This must mean our sphere has holes in it, making it impossible to be an isolated enclosed system.
Of course it can be argued that the universe is not a perfect sphere. But if that is true, then how do you account for what must have been the typical symmetrical radiation pattern of
a shock wave or dispersion of what-ever that is typical of an explosion?
So I would like to know what proof these scientist have of the universe being an isolated system? Have they in fact ventured to the outer boundaries and found all of the doors shut.? Or are they just being lazy, arrogant and closed minded?
Of course, isolation of variables is essential to understanding the cause and effect of things. But to claim that the Universe is always an isolated entity is beyond all reason. There is no such thing as always or never. Gates open and gates close, and we know not when, where, and/or by what means or who.
.
B. WHAT THIS, NO CENTER TO THE UNIVERSE?
Scientists are telling us per Google,
"There is no centre of the universe! According to the standard theories of cosmology, the universe started with a "Big Bang" about 14 thousand million years ago and has been expanding ever since. Yet there is no centre to the expansion; it is the same everywhere."
Apparently scientists do not consider the original spot where the Big Bang started as part of the universe. This could only mean that the universe is sandwiched in between two concentric spheres, assuming a symmetrical explosion. If the explosion was non-semmetrical, then the universe would still be sandwiched in between an outer layer and an inner layer, assuming the point of the explosion was surrounded by all the debris which is not unreasonable. But then again, one might conjecture the universe as being a smoke ring blown through a tiny hole. One could almost imagine God smoking a pipe and blowing a smoke ring. He may be even blowing more than one smoke ring, thereby creating multi-verses No matter, there must be a center point of origin and regardless of whether or not scientist include it as part of the universe.
.
C. LOOKING INTO THE DISTANT PAST.
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT WE ARE LOOKING FARTHER BACK INTO TIME AS WE PEER DEEPER INTO SPACE?
We must begin with the fact that there is nothing that can travel faster than light. And because of the vast distances between galaxies, it can take millions of light years for the light from a far distant galaxy to reach our galaxy. This means that an immense amount of time has past by the time we see the light, which means we are looking at history.
With the advent of space travel, our imaginations can go wild with the idea of visiting distant galaxies. Yet science tells us that the deeper we peer into space, then the farther back in time we go. But to be more precise, the deeper we look into space, we see light (or electromagnetic radiation) emitted long, long ago. So this raises the question, "If what we are seeing now actually occurred millions of years ago, then how do we know those objects are still there?" If in truth they are not presently there, then is there really any point in trying to converse with them, let alone attempt to travel to them? This not to say we should not even bother to be aware and study these past events. But they need to be recognized as historical events long past that should not necessarily effect our current day presence.
For an observer to say, "I just saw new stars being born" is not necessarily correct. It is more honest to say "I have seen stars that were born x years ago". To him I would say "If you are going to travel to some distant star, don't be surprised if it is gone before you get there.
Edwin Hubble discovered that the universe appears to be expanding due to the "Doppler Red Shift" he observed of light coming from very distant stars.. From that we have concluded that the more distant starts are "accelerating" away, leading us to theorize that the universe is expanding as a whole attributed to the existence 'dark energy".
But there is something troubling about this. WHAT IS THE POINT THEY ARE EXPANDING FROM? WHERE IS THE CENTER POINT OF THE EXPLOSION? CAN WE NOT SEE LIGHT FROM DISTANT GALAXIES DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM US ON THE OTHER SIDE? WHAT IF THOSE MORE DISTANT STARS ARE NOT RECEDING AWAY FROM US LINEARLY, BUT ARE ACTUALLY CIRCULATING AROUND THE EDGES OF THE UNIVERSE?" IT WOULD STILL BE POSSIBLE TO OBSERVE A RED SHIFT AT THE RIGHT TIMES RELATIVE TO THE POSITION OF THE EARTH? These very simple questions remain to be answered by science, not some arbitrary statements of there being no center or that the universe is an isolated system. If you don't know, then say you don't know.

END OF STORY. (Older notes from here on)
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
D. IS THE VANISHING POINT ONE OR MANY?
Certainly someone has already considered this question, but just in case, I bring it up now.
Suppose two people are standing at opposite poles of the earth, each looking straight up. The question is;
"ARE THEY LOOKING AT DIFFERENT POINTS IN SPACE OR THE SAME ONE?'. This may sound like a stupid question, but it does deserve an answer, because we do know now that light does bend. If they are in fact the same point in space, then as we gaze into the heavens to the farthest light source from no matter where, are we not starring at the original single point of the Big Bang? And if true, then the universe is a CLOSED SYSTEM that happens to be expanding at the moment, possibly causing the effect of time.
Here are some observations.
As has been known for many centuries in art, as you look at something from an increasing distances, the smaller it becomes until it completely vanishes into a single point. Imagine a perfect cross whose limbs are the same length,d. The farther away you move from it (say distance D), the shorter the limb lengths appear. It would almost seem as if there is an inversely proportional relationship between D & d, whereby D x d = Constant K. This observation seems to hold true no matter in what direction you are looking. However, If we now take a larger cross whose limbs are of length s, we now have to be at a farther distance, S, from it before it vanishes. And where S x s = Constant C, it does not follow that Constant C = Constant K unless there is some other mitigating factor, like time, to produce some fixed universal constant X. Perhaps something like X = K/T(d) = C/T(s), where T(d) might be the time it takes light to travel the distance D & T(s) is the time for light to travel the distance S. But this is just mere conjecture.
Here is another view on the vanishing point which could contradict the idea of it being a single point. Instead of a cross made of wood, imagine the cross is made of two strings. You grab one of the strings at the center and begin to pull. The ends of the string are not secured, but have heavy weights on
them so they can reluctantly move. As you pull, the string beings to bend, and the two ends come closer together. If you pull long enough, the two ends will come together as if they were one.
In this analogy, the string you are pulling on is actually the separate light beams of each point along the lateral length of the string (or coss). And the light beams from each end of the string converge into one before those other light beams emitted from the points closer to the center of the string. In other words, the light being emitted from the cross is bending to the vanishing point where all visibility of the cross is gone.
Of course, this too is conjecture, but it does destroy the prior view. And it further falls in line with the idea that it takes a longer time for the light from the ends of the cross to reach your eye than the light from the center of the cross.
E. MEASUREMENTS IN SPACE.
1. The ABILITY TO MEASURE requires the ability to divide
that which is being measured into smaller, but equal, parts.
2. The distance between a rational point in space and an irrational point in space is immeasurable. You cannot measure the distance between the two.
3. REFERENCE SYSTEMS RESTRICTION..
A reference system within the rational sub-space cannot be used to measure distances to points within the irrational sub-space, and visa versa. The ability to measure distance is restricted to the sub-space in which the measurement is being made.
4.Measurement of distance is possible within the irrational
sub-space. Example- The distance between 1/3 and 4/7 is
12/21 - 7/21 = 5/21
5 PARTICLE CENTRALITY.
If the surface of a sphere is in rational space, then its center
is in irrational space. If the center of a sphere is in rational space, then its surface is in irrational space. This may be the reason quantum physics is different from relativity.
6. The role of "TIME"
It may be that "time" is the resolving factor between rational space and irrational space. Therefore, it makes sense to speak of "space-time" as one complete entity. For a truly universal "closed system" to exist, it must include the factor of "time".

The Experience Of Testing and The Testing Of Experience
The Heisenberg UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE is the most honest statement that science can make. It says that an observer, just by the mere act of observing, can impact the outcome of his test, ie, the experience of testing. This gives rise to the "probability" of something being true or false and not claiming the veracity of something as a matter of universal "fact", thereby negating false claims of absolute certainty.
But on a more personal level, we humans are constantly being confronted with the testing of our experience, which can have a more devastating impact on our psyche if we let it..
The point is, when we make claims of something being true or false, we need to assure we are clear that we speak only in reference to ourselves and our own experiences. And when we listen to someone else,we need to be sure they are speaking from their own experience, while at the same time of our observations we are not becoming part of the experiment and engaging in vague generalities or accusations applicable to everybody else which is hypocrisy. Yet we must not be intimidated to not speak our minds, secure in the knowledge that judgment is not the same as condemnation. Without judgment, there is no intelligence.

BULL SHIT! Proves Islam rejects Jesus who clearly said He is God which is believable because He rose from the dead. I dont recall Mohamed doing that. Complete HYPOCRITICAL IDIOT.
Muslims believe in death, not life. They believe in "works", not "grace". They promote suicidal martyrdom. How contradictory and fatalistic their's is. THAT IS NOT "FAITH". It is a death wish that maybe we would be justified in granting them. REAL FAITH REQUIRES THE CONTINUED BELIEF IN LIFE DESPITE DOUBTS. In reality Islam appears to be nothing more than a cult that seeks to coerce its members to do evil.

THE 1996 FLIGHT AND CRASH OF TWA 800.
This was the airliner crash that took off from JFK and just 10 minutes later crashed barely off the coast of New England. I remember seeing it at night on tv being reported. Within a very few years it was dismissed by the government and the media as being the result of a mechanical failure.
However, just having viewed a documentary refuting the official conclusions, I find it grossly disturbing that apparently 258 independent people in total, and at different places at the time of the crash reported immediately having seen 3 different missles tracking to and hitting the plane before bursting into flames. And one reported seeing what appeared to be a missle fired from a ship with a lighted mast. Furthermore, these witnesses report that their stories were squashed by the government as they were being interviewed by the FBI which virtually suppressed the NTSB from further questioning those witnesses.
If their story is true, and I have no reason to not believe 258 people, then we are witnessing the biggest government coverup in history. You can forget all of the other conspiracy stories, because this one appears to be real.
So we ask, "Why would the government create such a coverup?", It would make no sense for such an attack to be launched by a foreign power with their ship being on the surface of the water in plain sight, as reported by one of the credible witnesses. So whose ship could it be other than our own? Such a happening would certainly be sufficient motive for an administration to force a coverup. And it would certainly be sufficient for a political party to become violent in wanting to maintain their hold on power.
Of course it could be argued that if there were such a coverup, then why would it not be exposed when the other political party was in power? So who really knows the reasons? As the saying goes, "Politics makes strange bedfellows."
This was the airliner crash that took off from JFK and just 10 minutes later crashed barely off the coast of New England. I remember seeing it at night on tv being reported. Within a very few years it was dismissed by the government and the media as being the result of a mechanical failure.
However, just having viewed a documentary refuting the official conclusions, I find it grossly disturbing that apparently 258 independent people in total, and at different places at the time of the crash reported immediately having seen 3 different missles tracking to and hitting the plane before bursting into flames. And one reported seeing what appeared to be a missle fired from a ship with a lighted mast. Furthermore, these witnesses report that their stories were squashed by the government as they were being interviewed by the FBI which virtually suppressed the NTSB from further questioning those witnesses.
If their story is true, and I have no reason to not believe 258 people, then we are witnessing the biggest government coverup in history. You can forget all of the other conspiracy stories, because this one appears to be real.

THE NATURE OF REAL LOVE.
At some point in our individual lives, we humans find ourself asking this questiion, "what is real love?". Tina Turner's song, WHATS LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT, is an example.
So let us begin to identify what real love is not. Real love is not saying to another "I love you" every day without being sustained by action. After a while that begins to seem artificial. Real love is not sex or the euphoria you feel towards a person, animal or other object of your affections. In religious thought that is called idolatry. And real love is not pity for another based upon feigned claims of injury or emvy/jealousy. It does nor go around accusing others of our own circumstaces. So what is real love?
Our first clue comes from Jesus Christ.. What He showed us is that real love is more akin to parental love. But not entirely, that being only a part of real love. To be complete, real love includes the child's payback to the parent(s).
A parent usually desires for his/her child to go on living, EVEN IF THE PARENT IS DEAD AND EVEN IF THE CHILD DOES NOT WANT TO LIVE ANY MORE. This is "real" love. And it requires a sense of duty and obligation, constituting that dreadful word "odedience". IT DOES NOT REQUIRE BLOWING YOUSELF UP IN PURSUIT OF SOME NUTJOB IDEOLOGY. Nor does it include putting on a barbaric display of beheadings.
Real love is based on justice. You cannot have love without justice. Nor can you have justice without real love. Real love is not identity politics. It does not go around claiming to be a victim based upon trivial circumstances. Nor does it condemn a group of others based upon the actions of a few in a group. It is not stereotyping. However it does reserve the right of the individual to judge without condemnation. It does reserve the right to speak freely without being condemned unless there is some action harming others in association with the words spoken. And it does reserve the right of the individual to judge & not to participate in actions that actually promote the violation/destruction of the Moral Laws as described by C S Lewis inthe book MERE CHRISTIANITY.
Jesus commanded that we love GOD and our neighbors. But we cannot do so unless we know what real love is. We cannot do so if we do not believe and know who GOD really is. Jesus claimed himself to be the one true GOD. So through Him we now know who GOD really is.
WONDERFUL, COUNSELOR, THE MIGHTY GOD, THE EVER LASTING FATHER, THE PRINCE OF PEACE.. And where He did say "There is no greater love than laying ones life down for his friends" , He GOD did so for His childern. It is doubtful that He meant this to mean we sbould all commit suicide. Rather, He expects us to show our love for Him in less dramatc ways and through obedience ro Him.

LEVELING THE PLAYING FIELD - VICTIMIZATION VS IDENTITY POLITICS.
VICTIMIZATION requires one person depriving another of something they already rightfully have. True justice requires penalties being imposed upon the perp.
IDENTITY POLITICS is the equivalent of ARTIFICIAL HANDICAPPING which deprives the human race from excelling in fields of human endeavor.
THIS IS WHAT IS WRONG WITH HILLARY CLINTON. HERS IS A PHONEY SOCIAL JUSTICE
Does Christianity require giving in to demands for charity? Not when it is at the involuntary expense of others. Not when the charity is unpolitely requested. Not when it imposes standards that suppress the best mankind can achieve
On the other hand, Christianity is adverse to selfishness at the expense of others. It professes voluntary charity.

CREATION vs ENTROPY- The Real Reason Behind Atheism.
"Entropy" is the scientific concept explained in the 2nd Law Of Thermodynamics that says "over time all things evolve from a state of order to disorder". Where this may or may not be true, it is a very fatalistic belief that stands contrary to the existence of a "creator" and leads to a closed mindedness that is worthy of criticism .
For one thing, the concept of entropy requires an isolated system. Who can realisticly say that the universe is an isolated system?
Secondly, when speaking of things we cannot see, it is unintelligent to say they do not exist simply because we cannot see them. Science itself has proven this to be true time and time again. Perhaps the time has come for a more civil discussion wherein there is coexistence between Creation and Entropy, not creation "or" entropy, but creation "and" entropy..

BACK-SEAT STRATEGISTS VS IN-THE-TRENCH WARRIORS.
The game of "GO" is an ancient Asian game that mimics the strategy of war in terms of capturing territory, and is probably more realistic than the game of CHESS. For this reason, it has a great appeal to the intellect that separates the generals from the fighting soldier. It can also have great appeal to hsrd-line politicians, making it okay for the non-fighter to tell the fighter what to do.
But there is a major problem with this scenario in that those who risk nothing relative to those who do risk their lives can become ruthless CONSTIPATED dictators. Prosecuting those who would protect you is the STUPIDEST GD THING that any idiot would ever do! The argument of the warrior saying (but you were not there" is far more compelling that the back-seater saying " you should (or should not) have done this (or that)"
Engaging in such nonsense is time consuming, and meanwhile the situation changes. A real leader will have been in the trenches with his warriors. Yet today we see in our national politics absolute stupidity in this regard with the liberal left whining about the past election and simply inventing stories that are untrue. Those back-seaters present a real threat to our national security.

Fairness vs Equality.
There are some folks who say that "fairness" is "equality". Not true. Fairness is usually the balancing of consequences between 2 interacting behaviors. It does not mean that the results of that balancing will be equal. The owner of a peace of property acquired through his own hard investment of time and energy does not pay his hired hands the same as he invested even though they may put into the property more than the owner originally invested. Their hard work does not mean they are entitled to share in ownership of the property.
But what about "fairness" where more than two parties are involved.? What about fairness among 3 or more nations.?
Should not the same principles apply when balancing the results for behavioral consequences among nations?

Two Separate Trials Of Women Charged With Homicide.
1. Ezra McCanless - The most the state of Wisconsin can legitimately convict her of is involuntary manslaughter. There are questions about her telling the truth in her stabbing of boyfriend Alex Woodworth. But were she really inclined to deceive authorities, she could have easily claimed the couple was attacked by a 3rd person. She did not say that.
2. Amber Guywer - A white Dallas police woman who shot and killed a black man residing in his own apartment, believing he was in her own apartment upon coming home. Regardless of skin color, it is completely unacceptable and unjust for people to advance their own agendas and opinions based upon skin color. The mental state of the police officer and the circumstances need to be examined without pre-judgment.
This woman is going to jail, the length of which will be determined by whether or not her action was justifiable or not and in relation to her training and expected conduct..

"Naked Democracy" vs "Responsible Democracy".
There is a lot of touting of our being a "democratic state" as opposed to a totalitarian state. Unfortunately, we do not describe what kind of a democratic state we are, and this is important. Why? Because almost 100 years ago a megalomaniac named Hitler realized that he could easily take over and dominate the naked democracy of Germany shortly after WWI. And we all well know what happened after that.
So what is a naked democracy?
To be very simplistic, lets just say a naked democracy is one where the people in the society think they have the right to engage in behavior that is offensive and contrary to representing the truth. Such behavior severely weakens a democracy and exposes it to be being taken over by a dictator, just as Hitler did years ago.
Why is it important today? Quite frankly, the liberal democratic party has engaged in such irresponsible behavior and put this country at risk with their lies, agendas, violence, etc. Every citizen should be most concerned with the arrogance and lies exhibited by this political party.

https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/jim-breslo-california-management# California is worse than a banana republic. The government is a parasitic blood sucking piece of crap, comprised of arrogant power hungry liberal politicians that do nothing other than to bask in the California sun. Their hypocrisy is way beyond the pale. High taxes and pathetic law making have driven corporations out of the state. Criminals are set free from incarceration, because of overcrowding and lack of funding. Crime and fraud are allowed to grow with no real effective law enforcement, except for when it comes to the relatively innocent law abiding citizen, and then he has to pay hell. The Department of Real Estate is a fraud onto itself that does not even enforce its own licensing laws. Crooked investment brokers do not have their licenses taken away when they conduct scams defrauding the people. The Department of Housing Community Development is a joke being at least 8 months behind in issuing certificates of title with respect to mobile homes and manufactured units, thereby constipating the entire mobile home/real estate market. And with the door wide open for illegals to obtain drivers license, the DMV is so crowded you have to park 1/2 mile away and walk to its offices. From the moment you leave your home, the roads are one continuous traffic jam. And then there are the doctor offices and emergency rooms filled to the brim with crowds. Finally, there are the major metropolitan cities brimming with the honeless, piles of human excrement in the streets, and just plain old bad sanitary conditions. Responsible residents are moving out of the state, abandoning ship because it is so intolerable.That other states would consider California to be a model of perfection is nothing but a big lie. Were I from a different state, I would not spend 1 dime in California.
Lousy liberals would say, "Well if you don't like it, then move". I would tell them "This is my home. I was born here long before you came. Who in the hell let you in?"

How long will it be before Muslim radicals obtain nuclear capability to engage in suicidal nuclear bombings? What are you going to do then, say "Naughty, naughty, shame on you"? Are you going to court martial your soldiers for peeing on enemy graves in their protection of you because you are so damn good? You court martial your soldiers for engaging in crimes like rape and unwarranted murder, not for taking a leak. I wouldn't say "get a life". I would say "keep your own damned life and don't call on me to protect you".
But then who am I, just another "Islamaphobe"? You are afraid of insulting foreigners, yet have no problem insulting your own countrymen. Your domestic rhetoric is far beyond the pale of acceptability. If you cannot control your own rhetoric at home, then how can it be trusted on the international stage where the fight against nuclear proliferation is of the utmost global importance? You think you are entitled to freedom? Maybe you have yet to learn that your current freedom was bought and paid for by others.
Perhaps it is time for you to start supporting your own safety and freedom. Just don't ask the rest of us to join you.

When there is a larger evil to be defeated, you put away the smaller evils to later and do everything you can to end the larger evil. That there are those who have benefited from your fight without joining you, yet criticize your actions in that fight after it is over, is a disgusting example of cowardice and vulturey. Unworthy politicians are among those vultures who tout their bravery by engaging in the lesser battles while condemning your actions in the larger battle, of which they are the beneficiary. As someone once said, "no good deed goes unpunished".

INDIA'S MOST WANTED - One of the most intense and among the most inspiring movies I have seen in a long time and based upon actual events in India in their efforts to apprehend a vile Muslim terrorist bomber. Previously I wrote about the innocence of being disengaged. But this movie puts to shame a public and government displaying no interest in supporting its patriots who must fund their own operation to defeat terrorism.

IS BEING DISENGAGED A SIN OR A CRIME?
The answer to the question must be in what it is you are disengaged from.
There are those who would preach to you that you have a responsibility to help others who can not help themselves regardless of the behavior and actions of those others that led to their helpless situation. Such preachers pride themselves on the fact that they have ministered in the name of Jesus to murderers and drug addicts, claiming that these people have been rehabilitated and born-again Christians. Where that may, or may not be true, it is the admonishment by those preachers upon others having nothing to do with such murderers and drug addicts that reveals an arrogant eqo not befitting that of a Christian preacher.
On the other hand, certainly it is a sin or a crime for one to be disengaged from things that are the result his/her action and/or behavior. Responsibility and self accountability must never be sacrificed in the name of unconditional forgiveness. A parent has a responsibility (albeit not unconditional) to the lives he/she has created. A person causing a car accident has a responsibility to the lives and/or property damaged. A government has the responsibility of preventing and punishing real crime, not feigned accusations.
etc, etc. Yet forgiveness must never be abandoned when it is warranted and just to all concerned. (enter "righteousness")

STEREO-TYPING - The Fault Of Those Who Would Rule The World
Stereo-typing is not profiling.
Stereo-typing is the condemnation of a group of people based upon artificial traits/events and that fails to attribute any possible individual goodness within that group of people.
Profiling is the recognition of an individual traits that fit within the common traits exhibited by a group of people on a larger scale.
Stereo-typing is stereo-typing no matter who is doing it. Almost any supremacist group engages in stereo-typing: Cultural supremacists, generational supremacists, white supremacists, black supremacists, brown supremacists, Asian supremacists, Caucasian supremacist, African supremacists, middle eastern supremacists, Indian supremacists, Hispanic supremacists, male supremacists, female supremacists, liberal supremacists, conservative supremacists, etc
For this reason & global peace, the world is divided into compartments called nations, which helps to minimize the negative effects of stereo-typing and assures diversity. It is only when a nation seeks to infringe upon, violate, and/or invade the established borders of its neighbors that global peace is diminished and war breaks out.
This is not to say that nationalization and national pride is a bad thing. In fact it is a desirable good thing that benefits its members. It is only when one particular group seeks to impose its will upon the rest of the world on a global scale that such arrogance and pride disturb global peace & is wrong.
We see such global disturbances when supremacists persist in blaming a new generation for the sins of the new generation's fathers and seek unjust large scale retribution, such as:
1. The Chinese Communist Party that persist in persecuting western democratic societies for their long past history of imposing their pre-democratic treatment of China. It should be remembered that China was one of the world's first empires. A communist party that seeks to continue that empire is still an empire.
2. The western world's race-baiting and discrimination-baiting political parties of today that persist in false allegations charging the current generation on a mass scale of committing the sins attributed to the fathers of the current generation and whose only purpose is to impose their faulty views upon the rest of the globe in order that they might rule & dictate globally to foreign cultures, thereby permitting them to have the unfettered freedom to invade those other cultures. A western world that seeks to impose its cultural ways upon the rest of the world is still an empire.
3. The middle eastern world's radical and extremist Muslim Sharia ideology/doctrine that denies the existence of Jesus Christ as being God and seeks to globally persecute any and all those who disagree with their dictates. A middle eastern world that seeks to impose its Sharia Law upon the rest of the world is still an empire.
Stereo-typing is stereo-typing.
Imposing is imposing.
Invasion is invasion whether peacefully or not.
And an empire is the global domination and subjugation of the many by a few ,ie,a tryanny granting unfettered freedom to the few.

We have to respect Newt's words, because he is well studied and informed on political history. Newt points out that a small political party is out to take a great nation into the position of becoming a tryrannical world power not unlike Hitler's Nazi Germany. Of course, we have our own liberal political party (the democrats) out to do exactly the same thing, ie, world domination via globalization of morals, culture and law, all in complete denial of real "diversification" while exhibiting a feigned advocacy of individual freedom & human rights.

Sometimes, sh-t happens, and it is not our fault. However, resource management is always a good idea, especially when it comes to local resources being overwhelmed by uncontrolled human population and migration. How about giving every human male a vasectomy at birth? That would help a lot of these absolutely stupid irresponsible issues arising from over-population. Say goodbye to the abortion issue. Say goodbye to mass illegal migration. Say goodbye to over-crowded cities and roadways. Say goodbye to high density housing. Say goodbye to economic depravity. Say goodbye to food and water shortages. And say goodbye to the alleged man-made global warming.

I Interpret "dark" money to mean money that is contributed by an undisclosed source. There can be good intentions behind such anonymity when one offers a gift to another, but I would not call that "dark" money. On the other hand, when one offers money to someone else to do a dubious job for them, how is that any different than hiring a hit man to kill an adversary? Covertly Influencing elections in this manner is no different than offering bribery. We see the same thing in "undisclosed" fake news reports. Both political parties should be severely punished for such under-handedness, lest we become no better than Hitler's Nazi Germany.

They say "Forgive and forget" as if we are built with the ability to will it all disappear. BUT WE ARE NOT BUILT THAT WAY. Our minds automatically remember. Case in point - I was driving to my current home which is nearby my old home of 20 years ago. Unconsciously, I automatically turned down the street to my old home. So "no", it is not within our will power to forget. And there are some things I will never forget, let alone forgive. A court room judge telling young children, who witnessed the murder of their mother by their father, "Forgive and forget" will never be forgotten or forgiven. Of course minor offenses are forgivable, and they may, or may not, be forgotten.
Certainly history keeps past offenses in the mind. But once the perpetrators are dead and gone, there is little justification for blaming non-perpetrators in a continuance of the search for justice. Case in point....slavery in the US.

There is no such thing as a political party being in power without it being discriminatory. That a political party would seek power representing itself as non-discriminatory would be a lie and hypocrisy. The only way to really be non-discriminatory is to stay out of the fray, and then you expose yourself to being ruled by others. But if you care about rational and pragmatic justice for the greater number of people and equitable allocation of resources, then you cannot sit back and do nothing, while staying within the physical context of the society in which you live and which portends to rule your life.
The same applies to nations whose borders are limits to others and sovereign. In other words, to each is own without imposing beyond your limits into the affairs of others.

There are a lot of sick hypocritical people in this country who advocate only for themselves OVER THE SMALLEST INCIDENTS at the expense of others. AND THEY ARE A REAL DANGER TO OUR COUNTRY, BECAUSE THEY SELECTIVELY DISMISS ANY NOTION OF INTENT BEHIND ANOTHER PERSON'S COMMENTS. THEY HEAR WORDS THEY CLAIM TO BE OFFENSIVE, AND IMMEDIATELY ATTACK WITHOUT MERCY AND WITHOUT CARING TO IDENTIFY THE REAL INTENT BEHIND THE OTHER PERSON'S STATEMENT.
Is it not strange that Hillary Clinton can be dismissed from what amounted to OBVIOUS TREASON AGAINST THE CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY (THE RUSSIAN URANIUM DEAL) , BECAUSE THE FBI ALLEGED "NO INTENT"? Yet a citizen can make some off the cuff remark and it is immediately seized upon as some major threat to our national security.
This is not to defend Megyn Kelly, because I think she is way over-paid anyway. BUT IS IT NOT REALLY OBVIOUS THAT SHE INTENDED NO HARM IN HER COMMENT(S), AND THEREFORE THESE ATTACKS ARE COMPLETELY UNJUSTIFIED. If your skin is so thin, then maybe you should be wearing diapers.

Rush Limbaugh calls the illegals entering our country (current or would be) "VICTIMS"? I DISAGREE. VICTIMS OF WHAT? THERE ARE ENOUGH REAL VICTIM CITIZENS IN THIS COUNTRY WHO HAVE SUFFERED FROM MURDER AND MOLESTATION WITHOUT PROPER JUSTICE, WHILE THEY WATCH THEIR ATTACKERS GO FREE. NEAR 3000 PEOPLE WERE MURDERED IN THE MUSLIM ATTACK OF 911 IN 2001. THERE WERE MANY INNOCENT PEOPLE MURDERED AT FT HOOD WHILE WE CONTINUE TO SPOON FEED THE PERP. THERE ARE CHILDREN RAPED & MURDERED BY RELEASED CONVICTS. YET ALL WE SEE IS THE CONTINUED INJUSTICE OF THE DERILICTION OF DUTY IN THE GOVERNMENT'S OBLIGATION TO PROTECT ITS PEACEFUL CITIZENS.
THIS COUNTRY DOES NOT NEED ANY MORE GENERIC VICTIMS. WE NEED TO ASK "VICTIMS AT THE HANDS OF WHO & EXACTLY WHAT". ALLEGED VICTIMS CAN BE VERY GOOD AT VICTIMIZING REAL VICTIMS. IF CHARITY DOES NOT BEGIN AT HOME, THEN THERE IS NO CHARITY. IF YOU DO NOT ENFORCE THE BORDERS OF YOUR COUNTRY, THEN YOU HAVE NO SOVEREIGN NATION.
This is not an appeal to selfishness. It is an appeal to rationality & common sense.

THE LOOTING OF AMERICA.
What GOOD parents send their children on a trip by themselves to invade another country? It is the exploitation of their children for political gain. And the EXPLOITATION is allowed to continue by local POWER HUNGRY lying liberals who seek to undermine the electorate.
"NOT IN MY BACKYARD" is justified purely based upon PROPERTY RIGHTS which HYPOCRITICAL LYING LIBERALS, LIKE MAXINE WATERS, FALL BACK ON WHEN IT COMES TO THEIR OWN PROPERTY. But they have no scruples when it comes to telling others what to do with their property.

Did Christ Really Die For ME?
We are told that Jesus died for us. We are encouraged to "have a personal relationship with Christ". But what does that really mean? Are we suppose to go on some sort of a guilt trip?
Because He does not appear to be here on earth, it is really difficult for many people (myself included) to accept those statements,, especially when they see so much pain in their lives. It becomes rather easy to dismiss any notion of Christ entirely. But this makes it even more important to really learn about the life & times of Jesus Christ, thereby giving us a greater understanding of what is meant when they say "Jesus died for you".
To summarize it more distinctly, it can be said that Christ died for the freedom & rights of the individual, while, at the same time, He acknowledged the rights of property ownership. So it is clear that His intent was to uphold both HUMAN RIGHTS & PROPERTY RIGHTS together. They should not be at odds with each other.
So in this sense, He did in fact "die for me". But who is "me"? It tends to put everything on a personal emotional basis. A more logical statement would be "He died for MY PERSONAGE", meaning He wanted me to develop a character & behave in accordance with His laws which are to the benefit and betterment of mankind.
So herein is the real world justification for believing in Christ. But beyond that, He put a cherry on top by demonstrating the existence of life after death & the reality of Heaven, therein giving mankind a real meaning & hope for the future.To dismiss this is to become a pessimistic fatalist who sees life as a vain endeavor subject only to the laws of survival of the fittest and who would use religion as instrument in furthering their own interests.

ITS BEEN CALLED MEXIFORNIA
For a dispossessed people to abide in a country, THERE MUST BE ROOM & RESOURCES TO ACCOMMODATE THEM. Clearly, national environmentalists understand & support this. Even liberal democrat Harry Reid agreed to support Obama in 2008, PROVIDED THAT OBAMA SHUT DOWN THE YUCCA MOUNTAIN NUCLEAR WASTE FACILITY. "NOT IN MY BACKYARD" is not uncommon among any home-based residents, democrat, republican, liberal or conservative. AND IT IS JUSTIFIED BASED UPON PROPERTY RIGHTS & OWNERSHIP, assuming the property was acquired peacefully or by non-coerced agreement (not including war).
But today you have stupid ass dispossessed liberals who choose to ignore this basic law and who advocate violence as a means of acquiring property rights & ownership of their own and who would turn right around & speak to the detriment of other dispossessed peoples in defending their newly acquired rights. It is called THE ANIMAL LAW OF SURVIVAL. But it is also called HYPOCRISY, that is UNLESS ONE STICKS TO THE ORIGINAL LAW OF JUSTIFIED OWNERSHIP.
The Mexican government was properly paid by the United States in its acquisition of California., aka, THE TREATY OF HILDAGO. For them or their peoples to now come back and lay claim to possession of California is demonstrative of their cheap mentality seeking only to benefit their own race as express by the RACIST GROUP called LA RAZA. That American citizens would even consider giving up their rightful ownership of California is unconscionable.

On Dealing With The Pain Of Failure.
Every human being will ultimately fail in his endeavors.
We fail in love. We fail in courage. We fail in accomplishing our highest dreams and aspirations. We fail at almost every turn in our lives.
Failure is a part of our lives. Jesus Christ knew this when He told Peter "You will deny me 3 times". And Peter did fail. But what did Peter do after this? Did he blame the Romans for his own failure and engage in endless rant? No. Did he blame himself & fall into a notorious drug habit engaging in self pity? No. He simply moved on to build a church dedicated to the one he had failed.
It would seem that when we "fail" in our endeavors, we humans take one of 2 paths: 1) We blame & condemn ourselves mercilessly or 2) We blame others for our failures mercilessly. Neither is necessarily the correct solution. Failure should cause us to to reexamine our own goals to determine whether or not they are correct, reasonable & justified. If the goal is beyond reasonable possibility, then it is unrealistic to continue shooting for it, and an adjustment is obviously required. So herein is a 3rd possible answer to our dilemmas.
This is not to say that failure must be an option. But nevertheless we should always be prepared for it, and always be ready to deal with it correctly & justly when it occurs.
Extreme & unwarranted blame in either direction can lead to unrighteousness & injustice. And so it would seem that the Lying Liberal Left has gone far beyond the boundaries of justice in their endless blame-game rants & demonstrations. Why would that be? It is because their most obvious goal is to dictate and impose their own selfish will upon the rest of the world by whatever means necessary, ie, an unrealistic goal that seeks to enslave others which is completely contrary to the teachings of & freedoms granted by Jesus Christ.. One need look no further than their use of the courts to overturn and impose laws that would not otherwise be acknowledged legislatively.

A STAR IS "BORING". Amounted to a screen test for Lady GaGa who is a good singer. Unfortunately, the entire plot (if there is one) is degraded by the overuse of the "F-Word". You would think writers would encourage a more refined vocabulary, but apparently they think the "F-Word" is a shocking wakeup call, which it is no longer. No matter, I will still thank the producers for keeping the stupid sex & peeing in the bathroom sceens to a minimum.

If you are a real Christian, then you know that some transgressions call for forgiveness. Christians should admonish loose sexual behavior, but not condemn. If not, then how are you any different from a Muslim?

IDENTITY CRISIS & THE LIMITS OF "I THINK, THEREFORE I AM".
Let's put it this way. If a young boy can declare himself to be a girl simply because he thinks he is a girl, or if a Muslim can declare himself to be a racial entity simply because he thinks of his beliefs as being an ethnic class, THEN THERE IS NOTHING TO PREVENT ME FROM DECLARING MYSELF TO BE GOD SIMPLY BECAUSE "I THINK" I AM GOD.
Quite obviously, there are serious flaws in this thinking, BECAUSE REALITY CEASES TO EXIST

The use of children as political pawns is a key sign of the injustice of despotism. Clearly, the lying liberal left is doing exactly that with respect to illegal migration. Preventing children from engaging in or becoming part of wrong doing is not the abuse of children. It is "righteous discipline" to correct behavior (not thought).
And then there is the outright abuse of children by the heterodoxy of self-proclaimed religions, such as Islam, the KKK, Children Of God, Jim Jones, David Koresh, the LRA, some elements of the Roman Catholic church, et al.

MACHINE GUN PREACHER = Very interesting true story/movie. CHECK IT OUT.
Not all who call themselves "Christians" are, especially if they
preach "heterodoxy" (like the LRA, Lord's Resistence Army in the Sudan) instead of "orthodoxy".
Heterodoxy in a religious sense means "any opinions or doctrines at variance with an official or orthodox position".[1] Under this definition, heterodoxy is similar to unorthodoxy, while the adjective "heterodox" could be applied to a dissident.
Islam preaches "heterodoxy".

Let me tell you about "COMING OUT OF THE CLOSET" and what it really means.
So much has been made about the poor homosexuals who have had to hide their feelings from society and how terrible they have been treated. Well brother, that ain't nothing compared to the millions of Christians around the world who have been (and continue to be) mercilessly persecuted by dictators in the past & violent Muslim countries of today. And we are suppose to feel sorry for these perpetrators of violence & injustice. Huh, fat chance, especially after giving their religion/ideology the benefit of a doubt.
I was raised by parents who gave me a choice between being a believer in God or a non-believer. In our family we never discussed politics or religion. But then we lived in the times immediately after WW II, a time of great peace in the United States. We were taught to be courteous & not be in the face of others with our beliefs or our politics. Those were to be kept within our own personal & secret selves. (Even the Bible told us to pray & give in private.)
At the age of 9, my first attendance of two Christian church services resulted in my rejection of religion for years to come. One was a Catholic service with my aunt & uncle where It was all in Latin, & I did not understand one damned word. The 2nd was with a friend to a Baptist church where they preached hell fire & damnation. Who needed that I thought. So I was set on a secular path, along with a built in fear of being called a religious nut job by my peers.
But around the same time, there was one experience at a Presbyterian church during an Easter egg hunt that I have never forgot. It wasn't during any service, but outside the church. It was the greatest sense of peace & an omni- presence that I have never forgotten. And I felt it again several times as I was in my dating years. So on occasion I would secretly pray for my dreams for & with a female partner to be fulfilled. But they never were. So each time I would abandon any such belief in God & hide deeper any thoughts of ever expressing any such belief.
The years went by with one catastrophy after another. It was obvious to me that there was no loving God, although I could not bring myself to be so arrogant as to proclaim there to be no God as many academics had done . I was locked in the closet of disbelief. But yet I continued to search the scriptures of the Bible, seeing one contradiction after another.
A particular problem I had was with murderers who declared themselves to be "Born Again Christians". How can you murder another innocent person & claim yourself to be a "Christian". "Good clean cut Christian boys" attached to a picture from jail, depicting a murderer with his cell mates, was sent to the victim's family. I ultimately came to view this as an insult against real Christians who had never hurt an innocent soul.
And then came along Obama, arrogantly proclaiming the United States to not be a "Christian Nation", an obvious lie and in concert with Muslims attacking Christians throughout the world. This is when, after years of hiding it, that I had to make a choice & come out of my closet. This was no longer just a physical war. It was a spiritual war. It was & is a war against an ideology that seeks only to enslave & destroy the freedom of choice that my parents & Jesus Christ have given me.
This is what "coming out of the closet" really means. It means
serving a just & righteous Lord who is a loving & protective parent of His own. He is a Lord who leaves humanity with the freedom to choose & repent (if need be) between openly advocating & professing His Name & His Way or that of Satan. It means serving a real human being who lived among us, rose from the dead, & promises to return, not some nut job pedophile who had some religious wet dream and whose Nazi jew hating followers advocate "death to America" & whose self-righteous hypocritical empathizers declare their right to spew their stinking Sharia Law in our home country. As Jesus said, "Get thee from me evil one", aka, "Go to hell, you phony, hypocritical, lying, slanderous, murderous, peace-destroying Christiphobic snakes". The real closet door is being opened & Jesus Christ will win it.

SHIFTING SANDS - THE ABANDONMENT OF MORAL PRINCIPLES FOR THE PURPOSES OF ALLEGED SURVIVAL.
It has been said that in order to survive, one must be able to "adapt". But how true is that? Under what circumstances, on what issues & to what extant are we to "adapt" before we loose all credibility & trust with our family, neighbors & countrymen, in fact even our own identity? When something is broken, we "fix" it, meaning we make it work better, but we do not destroy the original intent. Even Microsoft has made "fixes" to WINDOWS, but it has never changed its entire identity.
On the other hand, our liberal courts & advocates have been hell bent on changing the moral character of our Constitution & hence our society. I would dare say our founding fathers would roll over in their grave at the site of what has evolved in our society, ie, opened borders, opened cities, feces in the streets, foreign nationals disrespecting our flag & taking over our public streets with unjustified protests, homelessness, drug addiction, extensive impropriety, street & drug gangs, opened daily murder (even of children), opened sexual perversion, diminished self accountability, ... and the list goes on. Respect among & for fellow citizens has hit a new low, with possibly the exception of the Civil War. But we are quickly approaching even that low.
Cases in point, the persecution of General Flynn & the Paul Manaford trial. "EQUALITY" under the law is suppose to be a prime virtue of our Constitution. But hat is being thrown out the window when it comes to liberal application of the law, resulting in the worst hypocrisy imaginable. The fact is, Hillary Clinton should be in jail for promoting the sale of our uranium resources to the Russians. Why would anyone ever do that? Yet she has been made an exception to being prosecuted for that and many, many other crimes. This is not equal justice under the law.
Other cases in point, he Supreme Court's overturning of California's Prop 8 & Congress's definition of marriage, BOTH RULINGS COMPLETELY CONTRARY TO THE DEMOCRATIC WILL OF THE PEOPLE. NO WHERE IN THE CONSTITUTION IS THE SUPREME COURT GRANTED THE AUTHORITY TO TAKE SUCH ACTION. THE COURT'S ALLEGED POWER OF JUDICIAL REVIEW IS ONE THAT WAS UNCONSTITUTIONALLY ASSUMED BY JOHN MARSHAL. THE COURT HAS BECOME A CONSTITUTIONAL BODY EXERCISING UNCONSTITUTIONAL POWERS. IT IS AN OLIGARCHY OF THE WORST KIND, now imposing even upon the valid Constitutional duties of the President Of The United States. AN AMENDMENT IS LONG OVER DUE TO REQUIRE CONFIRMATION BY CONGRESS WHEN THE COURT OVERTURNS THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.
JESUS CHRIST did not say we were to yield to each and every offense against our loved ones, our neighbors, or our countrymen. HE DID SAY TO STAND FIRM LIKE A ROCK AGAINST EVIL. WE ARE TO HAVE MORAL PRINCIPLES THAT HONOR HIS FATHER IN HEAVEN. WE ARE TO HAVE, AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE, THE CHARACTER OF GOD AS EXPRESSED IN THE BIBLE AND WITHOUT BEING GOD HIMSELF.

SOCIALISM.
"TODAY THE COUNTRY. TOMORROW THE WORLD."
The NAZI Party was the NATIONAL "SOCIALIST" PARTY, thereby proving that "SOCIALISM" ULTIMATELY RESULTS IN A DICTATORSHIP. The word "NATIONAL" indicates the extent to which common cultural values apply, not any specific economic agenda. The word "NATIONAL" is intended to define a larger "FAMILY" whose home is restricted to a limited geographic area & that conforms to the rule of common law restricted to that area & leaving NO EXCEPTIONS FOR CORRUPT POLITICAL LEADERS TO BENEFIT THEMSELVES BY DIPPING INTO COMMON FUNDS, AS WOULD NATURALLY OCCUR UNDER "SOCIALISM".
The world is only so large. That it is divided into "nations" is only logical. That individual "nationalism" exists is only logical & justifiable as defined by centuries of human existence. Where possible, even a family divides its home into partitions, thereby allowing its members to enjoy a certain amount of personal freedom. To advocate for IMPOSED GLOBAL VALUES THAT DESTROY A NATION'S CULTURAL VALUES IS TO SURRENDER THE RIGHTS TO "INDIVIDUALISM & REFUSAL TO PARTICIPATE".
So it is an obvious OXYMORON for a party to call itself the NATIONAL SOCIALIST PARTY. And it is an OXYMORON for a party to call itself a "DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST" Party.
In view of their complete discrediting of the truth of well proven history, it should be obvious that those advocating "socialism", promising economic fairness to all & "for the common good' , are liars and are only really interested in acquiring the power to dictate over others, imposing their will whether others like it or not, & are ultimately incapable of limiting any acquired power to their own national area. They lie, they distort, they exaggerate, they slander, they divert attentions, they propagandize, they encourage violence & disruption of the public peace to create the illusion of power. In short, as Jesus said, "THEY ARE WOLVES IN SHEEPS' CLOTHING".

Morality & The Issue Of Illegal Immigration.
A black pastor, Chuck Hunt, delivered a very transparent & penetrating sermon today that did not really directly address the issue of illegal immigration, but may have alluded to it. His over all message was distinct & caring, conforming to the best interpretation of scripture possible. He gave a great distinction between what is trust & what is faith. I have no hesitation in declaring him to be a brother in Christ.
But then there was one little very brief reference to caring, including the caring for immigrants. It began to raise a red flag for me. But my fears were quickly alleviated when he said that we must be advocates for Christ, but NOT IN A "PUSHY" WAY. AND THEREIN IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REAL CHRISTIANITY & PHONY CHRISTIANITY.
Maxine Waters is a PHONY CHRISTIAN when she advocates being in other peoples faces in advocating for illegal migrants. Politicians may claim to have God on their side, which even Hitler did. But that is just pure bull shit.
The scriptures are filled with contradictions which sometimes make it difficult to come to a proper decision. Nevertheless, we are admonished to follow them to the best of our ability and use our best reasoning in fulfilling our first loyalties to family, neighbors, & countrymen.

Maxine Waters is a PHONY CHRISTIAN when she advocates being in other peoples faces in advocating for illegal migrants. Politicians may claim to have God on their side, which even Hitler did. But that is just pure bull shit.
The scriptures are filled with contradictions which sometimes make it difficult to come to a proper decision. Nevertheless, we are admonished to follow them to the best of our ability and use our best reasoning in fulfilling our first loyalties to family, neighbors, & countrymen.

So she used to be a "socialist". More specifically, she used to think about socialist ideas. There is nothing wrong with considering all possibilities. WHAT IS WRONG IS THE BEHAVIOR RESULTING FROM SUCH THINKING. So did she ever hurt, slander or attack any innocent person? Did she ever blame anyone else for her own behavior like the lying liberal left of today? Probably not. On that basis she can be forgiven.

As long as we are inventing human rights, here is THE ULTIMATE HUMAN RIGHT..
That every living breathing human being has the undeniable right to a safe dwelling place. That, without exception or exemption, every renter or owner of a dwelling be required to provide free accommodation to any and every human being seeking to live in their dwelling for any unspecified time. That refusal of such accommodation will be deemed to constitute discrimination , bigotry, hate mongering, racism, homophobia, islamaphobia, xenophobia, & inhumane denial of every person's natural right to safe dwelling, prosecutable by law & subject to imprisonment for a period of no less than 10 years & a fine of no less than $1 million.
Oh, and btw, let's take away your guns too so we can easily throw you in jail while we let murderers and gangs out free to roam the streets & invade your home. After all, we don't want to be considered in a bad light, because we are so damned good & don't want to deny anyone their God given rights, do we.

Sorry Mr Corporate Executive flying in your private jet from one of your many isolated hide-aways to another, ... this means you too. Sorry Mr Politician in your plush government paid-for estate,... this also means you. You all will have to put your money & home where your mouth is.

CATCH-22, the movie, REFLECTS THE HYPOCRISY & INSANITY OF THE LYING LIBERAL LEFT. It used to be that Hollywood & the press had a good grasp on the meaning of hypocrisy. Not any more.
Catch-22 was a crazy & barely coherent movie. It was definitely not one of my favorites. But it made a very good point, ie, that hypocrisy produces injustice. Here'a an example. Over half way through the movie, a soldier deliberately pushes a woman out the window of a high rise because he rapped her & did not want any witnesses. Yossarian, the main character who is off base, sees this, runs up the stairs to the room where the culprit smugly sits & confronts the culprit. He tells him that he killed another human and the police will arrest him. The culprit says "No they won't, they'll arrest you". They banter back & forth, & then the police siren is heard approaching. In bust the MPs, at first looking at the culprit with his pants down. They then turn to Yossarian & arrest him for being awol, leaving the culprit free.
THIS IS EXACTLY THE KIND OF NONSENSE NUT-JOB SOCIETY WE HAVE EVOLVED INTO TODAY, ALL THANKS TO OUR LIBERAL COURTS & POLITICIANS. The theme plays out from the worst murder cases that stonewall the victims into submission to ignoring the nuclear treason of Hillary Clinton while charging Trump with what?

"OH, THE CHILDREN"
Imagine the following hypothetical court case before the World Court - CHILDREN OF THE WORLD VS THE UNITED STATES. Is this a rational & legal action or is it utter nonsense?
First of all, there is absolutely nothing that says that just because a person is a child, he/she is qualified to initiate or file such an action. That means a responsible adult, or adults, must bring the action on behalf the child.
Secondly, a child is more likely to be prone to havea vivid imagination, and therefore, the veracity of his/her story must be thoroughly validated by the adult taking action on behalf of the child.
Thirdly, if there is more than one child being represented, then names of all children being represented must be identified, lest the accused be denied the proper right to confront one's accusers. Therefore, "CHILDREN OF THE WORLD" is an improper representation of the accuser(s) before the court. However, class action law suits have been allowed to occur without identifying the specific accusers, thereby opening the door for unscrupulous politicians to make all kinds of outrageous claims for the purposes of their own self glorification. It is not sufficient to have a self-proclaimed representative of a class action group identified without identifying the specific victims within that group & the specifics of the behavior that caused them to become victims at the hands of the accused. To allow less than this is laziness & unjust.
There is no such thing as one size fits all. Each case must rise or fall on the merits of its specific facts, not upon cheap emotionalism, innuendo, & exaggeration.

THE INJUSTICE OF OUR SO-CALLED JUSTICE SYSTEM AT WORK.
I don't think I quite buy your "I'm a conservative & it cost me" without hearing more detail. However, that our so-called justice system has been reeling senselessly out of control applying extreme penalties for lesser behavior & light penalties for VERY SERIOUS BEHAVIOR is a fact that has been going on for decades. WITHOUT DESERVED CAPITAL PUNISHMENT FOR WELL PROVEN CASES, THERE IS NO LAW. WITHOUT DESERVED CAPITAL PUNISHMENT FOR WELL PROVEN CASES, GUN CONTROL IS A COMPLETE JOKE. And that there are unscrupulous spouses seeking a free ride who use this so-called justice system is also a well established fact.
Nevertheless, you have children & society expects you to provide for those children until they are adults. If you do not have the resources to do so, then provisions should be made to help you out. That we have opened borders DOES NOT HELP THIS SITUATION, & THE LIBERAL COURTS ARE EXACERBATING IT CREATING MORE HOMELESSNESS BY INSISTING THAT ANYONE IN THE WORLD HAS A RIGHT TO ENTER & STAY IN THIS COUNTRY WITHOUT PROPER & COMPLETE APPROVAL. THAT THE SUPREME COURT ALLEGES TO HAVE THE RIGHT OF JUDICIAL REVIEW IS NOWHERE IN THE CONSTITUTION & PRESENTS US WITH A BODY HAVING COMPLETE AND TOTAL UNFETTERED POWERS WHICH IS DANGEROUS TO ANY FREE DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY &/OR REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT. That we have not figured out a solution to this oversight by now speaks to our complete ignorance & stupidity.

IT IS BEHAVIOR, NOT THOUGHTS, THAT DEFINES A "RACIST".
IT IS BEHAVIOR, NOT THOUGHTS, THAT DEFINES A QUEER.
IT IS BEHAVIOR, NOT THOUGHTS, THAT DEFINES ANYONE.
ACTION SPEAKS FAR LOUDER THAN WORDS.
A PERSON HAS THE RIGHT TO EXPRESS & CONTROL THEIR OWN THOUGHTS, SUCH EXPRESSION BEING CONFINED TO WRITING & WORDS, NOT THROUGH MASS VIOLENCE, DISTURBANCES OF FLUENT & PEACEFUL LIFE, OR PHYSICAL HARM TO ANOTHER PERSON OR PROPERTY. IT IS NOT THE RIGHT OF OTHERS TO CONTROL ANOTHER'S THOUGHTS UNTIL THOSE THOUGHTS ARE PLAYED OUT IN REAL ACTION. BUT THE DUMB SHITS OF TODAY ADVOCATE EXTREME PREVENTATIVE ACTION & CONDEMNATION BEFORE ANY HARM IS DONE, THEREBY VIOLATING THE PEACE & DOING MORE HARM TO SOCIETY THAN GOOD. They would enslave us all with their own definitions of standards & serving in the place of God. And who would be controlling them?

CHILDREN OF "GOD" ABUSING CHILDREN? AND JUST WHO IS THE "GOD" THEY SAY PERMITS THIS? THEM! THE ADULTS ARE THE "GOD" THAT CONTROLS & MANIPULATES THE DEFENSELESS TO MEET THEIR OWN SELF-SERVING DESIRES.
I heard of this club, or one like it, in which incest was being practiced, causing some of the abused children to commit suicide in later life. THIS IS WRONG! ADULTS ABUSING CHILDREN IN THIS WAY IS WRONG & A CRIME.! CHILD MOLESTATION IS WRONG & A CRIME! HUMAN TRAFFICKING IS WRONG & A CRIME!
Jesus said: "You have heard that it was said, `Do not commit adultery.' But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell". "whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven." "There is no marriage in Heaven".
As a Christian, I condemn these so-called phony Christians who violate their alleged faith & would prosecute them for criminal enslavement of children. Muslims do not seem to have any will to prosecute their own in the same manner.

De Niro has been acting too long. Now thinks he is one of those big correct guys who he falsely portrayed. Typical foul mouthed bully syndrome who knows nothing more than the "F" word which his demented Hollywood scripts taught him. Will Hollywood ever get back script writers who don't play in poo & who actually know the English language?

They may have a point about the evils of the world. But what has that got to do with learning English? How is learning a language "evil"? There is nothing wrong with refusing to join the whims of society. Early Christians refused to come out & greet Caesar as he passed by their dwellings. But simply learning the language of that society does not mean you consent to that society's behavior. And it can be construed to be rude & inconsiderate to speak your own language in the presence of natives who do not speak your tongue. If they do not want to speak English , then maybe they should relocate to Israel. That does not mean they should be rounded up & deported if they are in fact citizens. But then one must ask how did they become citizens in the first place?
If you are a citizen of this country, then YOU SHOULD SPEAK ENGLISH. WHEN IN ROME DO AS THE ROMANS. AND IF YOU BECOME A WARD OF SOCIETY, THEN YOU NEED TO OBEY THE JUST & REASONABLE DEMANDS OF THAT SOCIETY OR ELSE BE RELOCATED TO WHERE YOU FIT IN BETTER.. Obviously, the GREAT MELTING POT idea might not be so great after all.
We work & sacrifice like hell to preserve the habitat of other biological life. But when it comes to our own human habitats, that is fair game for anyone & everyone. Do you not suppose that the God of Moses worked like crazy to build the nation of Israel to make for them a habitat to preserve their culture against other cultures? Cultural preservation in the land of its origin is a right that preempts universal human rights. The borders claimed may expand or shrink, but the right to exist in the native homeland is still a right that protects against invasion & destruction of the culture.
Protection of the culture begins with immediate family. If you cannot protect your own family adequately, then you have no business sacrificing your family on behalf of other non-family persons. Assuming you can protect your own family, then you can extend your protection to neighbors & friends. If you can adequately protect your own family & neighbors & friends, then you can begin to think about protecting strangers. And regardless of your own ability or lack thereof, you can always pray on behalf of worthy & deserving strangers. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, Jesus.

The definition of an IRRATIONAL NUMBER is a number, using any integer based number system, for which there exist no integers p and q such that the ratio between p and q is the desired number. It is the fractional part of an irrational number that makes it irrational. It is the part that can no longer be divided. It is the part that is less than unity & in no way relates to unity. It stands by itself & can never be approached.
Irrational numbers must not be construed to simply be those numbers that have an unending decimal point. For example take the number .333333..... & on, which is the result of dividing 1 by 3. The question is, "CAN YOU EVER LAND EXACTLY ON THIS NUMBER?". The answer is, "YES, IF YOU ARE IN A BASE 3 NUMBER SYSTEM WHERE 1 DIVIDED BY 3 = .1 EXACTLY WITH NO UNENDING SEQUENCE". BUT PI, the ratio of the circumference (C) to the diameter (2r) of a "perfect" circle , IS IRRATIONAL NO MATTER THE INTEGER BASED NUMBER SYSTEM. The equation for approximating the circumference of a "perfect" circle is well known to be C = 2r x PI. And even though r, the radius, may be a rational number, C becomes irrational, BECAUSE A RATIONAL NUMBER TIMES AN IRRATIONAL NUMBER IS AN IRRATIONAL NUMBER.
In REAL SPACE you cannot go an irrational distance via linear measurement. This might seem to be contradicted by fact that we all know that we can travel a rational linear distance on our car wheels. So how can we say this? The fact is our car wheel is not a "perfect" circle. Some may argue that they can make the perfect circle (or wheel) by rotating a fixed linear distance about a fixed point. But the fact is there are microscopic errors in that process. The fact is it is physically impossible to create the perfect circle. The perfect circle is a "virtual" entity, not a real one. Our car wheel is only an approximation. When it comes to measuring REAL DISTANCES (or lengths), the unit of measure must be a rational number, because YOU CAN NEVER TRAVEL AN IRRATIONAL DISTANCE FOR WANTING TO GET TO IT & WITHOUT SKIPPING OVER IT. It is physically impossible.
This means that the "perfect" circle is an "IRRATIONAL NUMBER GENERATOR", the revolutions of which can be used as a unit of measure to virtually map the points in space that are irrational, even though we can never physically get to them. Depending upon the real linear length of the circle's radius, r, if r is extremely small relative to the unit of linear distance measure, then there will be more irrational numbers per normal unit linear distance traveled than if r is extremely large. When the unit of measure is an inch, a car wheel is extremely large as compared to an atomic particle size. And so, when using inches as a unit of measure it might seem there are far more rational distances than irrational distances traveled by the car wheel as it unwinds along its linear path. We simply ignore the existence of irrational distances. An old joke went, the difference between a mathematician & and an engineer has to do with trying to reach Marilyn Monroe by going half the distance to her, then half the distance again, & so on. The mathematician would say that he would never reach her. The engineer would say that he could reach her for all practical purposes.
No matter, that does not alter the fact of the existence of irrational virtual points along the path traveled, which leads us to conclude that these irrational virtual points must form a VIRTUAL SPACE that is intertwined with REAL SPACE. VIRTUAL SPACE is that in which distances can be computed by the number of complete revolutions, R, of a perfect wheel of a very small radius, r, but NOT MEASURABLE BY A LINEAR RULER. It is physically impossible to exactly locate a point when it is an irrational distance from the REAL POINT of origin. Therefore, VIRTUAL SPACE is comprised of all points located at an irrational distance from the real point of origin & interspersed with REAL SPACE. It is as if the "template" of real space was overlayed with the "template" of virtual space, with possibly "time" being the separator between the two.
To recap the mathematics of the situation, the reason for the difference between VIRTUAL SPACE & REAL SPACE is that the circumference of a wheel is an IRRATIONAL NUMBER based upon the expression, C = D * PI, where the D is the diameter expressed as a rational number, & PI is an irrational number, which makes C, the circumference, an irrational number. It is physically impossible to exactly locate a point when it' is an irrational distance from the REAL POINT of origin. Therefore, VIRTUAL SPACE is comprised of all points located at an irrational distance from the real point of origin & interspersed with REAL SPACE. It is as if the "template" of real space was overlayed with the "template" of virtual space, with possibly "time" being the separator between the two.
.
Why is this important? Scientist and mathematicians of today are talking about the "FABRIC OF SPACE-TIME". They are telling us that there is a "quantum world" consisting of more than time & 3 dimensions. They are telling us that there are sub-atomic particles having the property of "SPIN". They are telling us that space-time is malleable & impacted by gravity. They are telling us that there exists a "dark matter", 'black holes" & "dark energy". We do not dispute the scientists.They have plenty of evidence to support their claims. But in order to understand that "fabric", we need to know exactly what the components of space really might be & how to locate & view them. The world of numbers & proportions might not solve everything. But they certainly help. We may come to find that the infinitesimal has some very large consequences.
In addition, to REAL SPACE & VIRTUAL SPACE, there may be an IMAGINARY SPACE which would be comprised of all imaginary numbers, ie, the square root of negative numbers. So it might be said that TOTAL SPACE INCLUDES REAL SPACE, VIRTUAL SPACE, & IMAGINARY SPACE.
As an ending brain teaser, one might ask "WHAT HAPPENS WHEN ONE TRAVELING THE SPEED OF LIGHT APPROACHES A VIRTUAL (IRRATIONAL) POINT?" |

He may have been a good boxer, BUT HE EVADED HIS RESPONSIBILITY WHEN ALL OTHER MALES (NOT FEMALES) WERE BEING DRAFTED. DO YOU NOT THINK THAT THIS IS "HYPOCRITICAL BIGOTRY" AND ENSLAVEMENT AT ITS FINEST? In the disgusting '60s , draft card burners should have been prosecuted or at least civilly charged. Either you have a bunch of able bodied pansies who just want to live off & not protect society, or you have a society where all members are willing to " RISK THEIR LIFE ON BEHALF OF THEIR FRIENDS" , if not at least to justly support the justified efforts to defend our country. I did not especially like Elvis at first, BUT I GIVE HIM CREDIT FOR AT LEAST HAVING THE GUTS TO DEFEND HIS COUNTRY.
The DRAFT was one of the MOST UNFAIR FORMS OF "DISCRIMINATION" there was, even with the lottery being implemented. But the lottery did incorporate more fairness than before that. Where I never evaded the draft & even went down to enlist for Vietnam (but was turned down), I have serious questions if I believe in supporting our society today, given its hypocritical politicians & directions. WHO WANTS TO FIGHT FOR A COUNTRY WITH OPENED BORDERS THAT ALLOWS EVERYONE & ANYONE TO ENTER WITHOUT EXTREME VETTING? WHO WANTS TO FIGHT FOR A COUNTRY WHERE THE MURDERERS OF DECENT & INNOCENT FAMILY MEMBERS ARE NOT GIVEN THEIR DUES & SET FREE BASED UPON SOME WARPED SENSE OF FORGIVENESS, GUILT & FALSE HUMANITARIANISM? Today's liberal politicians & liberal judges have created & encouraged a jungle warfare state where it is every person for themselves. But Trump has revived a portion of my belief in what was once a decent society with the hope that this country will once again be a decent society in which to live, especially for my grand children & neighbors. He has one hell of a fight before him & I hope to God he wins, ON BEHALF OF ALL CONSERVATIVES.
NO! ALI MAY BE A GOOD PERSON, BUT HE IS ABSOLUTELY NO HERO! Sorry Cosell. Our heroes are the Audie Murphy s , those who died at Malmedy, the Antoin Scalias, the MLKs & the Jamiel Shaws, (just to name a few) & not the Jerry Browns, Bill/Hillary Clintons, Al Shaptons, Jessee Jacksons, Rose Birds, Ruth Ginsbergs, Stephen Breyers, Anthony Kennedys, Byron Whites, Barack Obamas, Eric Holders, Chuck Schumers, Nancy Pelosis, Harry Reids, or any other God-forsaken liberals.
And then there is Stormy Daniels who ought to be taken out, chastised & disgraced, BASED UPON HER VIOLATION OF THE AGREEMENT FOR WHICH SHE WAS PAID and regardless of any truth to her alleged story, WHICH IS DESCRIPTIVE OF NO REAL HARM, NOT IN GOOD FAITH & NOW IRRELEVANT ANYWAY. HERS IS EFFECTIVELY THE STORY OF A PROSTITUTE WHO SUES HER CLIENTS AFTER SHE HAS BEEN PAID FOR THE PURPOSES OF INCREASED FAME &/OR FORTUNE, HAVING NO REAL REDEEMING MORAL VALUE. HER LAW SUITS ARE FRIVOLOUS. Her name ought to be STORY DANIELS.

MAPPING SPACE-TIME.
DO IRRATIONAL NUMBERS IMPLY AN IRRATIONAL VIRTUAL SPACE?
http://www.trcooper.com/Science/SPT.html
The definition of an IRRATIONAL NUMBER is a number, IN ANY INTEGER BASED NUMBER SYSTEM, for which there exist no integers p and q such that the ratio between p and q is the desired number. All rational numbers can be expressed as fractions of integer numbers. Not so with irrational numbers.
Just because a number has an unending decimal point in one number system does not mean that it is irrational. It may be that 1/3 = .3333333.... is unending, but it is still a rational number. WHY?
Because, if we are using a base 3 number system, then 1/3 = .10 (not .3333...) .BUT PI, THE RATIO OF THE CIRCUMFERENCE TO DIAMETER OF A CIRCLE, IS IRRATIONAL NO MATTER THE INTEGER NUMBER SYSTEM.
When it comes to measuring REAL DISTANCES (or lengths), the unit of measure must be a rational number, because YOU CAN NEVER TRAVEL AN IRRATIONAL DISTANCE. It is physically impossible. But when we consider a wheel traveling down the road, we know that the VIRTUAL DISTANCE IT TRAVELS is computed to be d4 = 2 x PI x r x R with both r (wheel radius) & R (number of revolutions) being rational distances. BUT d4 IS A VIRTUAL DISTANCE, BECAUSE A RATIONAL TIMES AN IRRATIONAL IS IRRATIONAL. THEREFORE, THE REALITY IS THAT d4 IS A LITTLE BIT SHORTER & JUMPS OVER THE VIRTUAL DISTANCE EXPRESSED BY THE EQUATION TO THE NEXT AVAILABLE REAL DISTANCE.
THUS IT WOULD SEEM THAT SPACE MIGHT HAVE SOME UNIDENTIFIED POINTS THAT CANNOT BE PHYSICALLY LOCATED DUE TO THE DISTANCE FROM THE ORIGIN BEING VIRTUAL (IRRATIONAL) INSTEAD OF REAL (RATIONAL). However, we can still portray real distances along the X-AXIS of a graph verses virtual distances expressed in terms of Revolutions along the R-AXIS.

EXTREME DARK MATTER?
Updated May 31, 2018, 12:00 PM
Ted Cooper
THINKING OF NEWTON & EINSTEIN.
WE ARE BLESSED BY THESE 2 MEN OF SCIENCE
(Along with Galileo & Maxwell)
What made Newton great was the diverse number of things he was able to achieve at a period in history where there was little in the way of prior knowledge.
What made Einstein great was that he was able to put the chaotic world out of his mind: WWI, marriage, children, divorce, etc. I wish I could have come close to even doing half that much. Here is Einstein's view of space-time.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity
So what do we laymen know so far?
Facts according to science:
"Gravity has an infinite range".
"The faster the speed, the greater the increase in mass".
"It is impossible to attain the speed of light because the mass keeps on increasing to resist any further acceleration."
"Black holes are a reality & exist as bounded singularities composed of highly compressed & dense mass with inescapable gravitational pull".
"Dark matter exerting the pull of gravity is a proven fact".
"The farther you are from a source of gravity, the faster your clock runs". (How does this compare with the TWIN PARADOX?)
"The Expansion of the universe is accelerating."
"The universe is 14 billion years old".
"SPIN is a form of constant acceleration".
"Gravity is a form of acceleration".
"Some QUANTUM PARTICLES are identified by SPIN".
"E=MC**"
And then there is
"G(u,v) = ((8*pi*G)/c****)*T(u,v)" =
EINSTEINS LAW OF GRAVITY
Where T(u,v) = the STRESS-ENERGY TENSOR
(whatever that is)
G = Newton's Gravitational Constant
pi = 3.14...... Constant
c = The Speed Of Light Constant
G(u,v) = Gravity at a point in space?
(Who knows?)
My questions are :
WHAT IS T(u,v), G(u,v), u & v ?
IS THIS A 2-DIMENSION MATRIX EQUATION with u & v being different locations in space-time?
OR ARE G & T FUNCTIONS OF VARIABLES u & v?
It would really be nice if mathematicians would at least identify up front the variables in the equations they present without assuming we know what the hell they are referring to. Perhaps it's a closed secret available only to the elite, just like all of those "undisclosed sources" or "classified informations" that the media & intell community keep hiding under, & designed to make everyone (but them) look like an idiot. "I've got a secret & you don't know it. Ha, Ha, Ha".
ABOUT TENSOR INDEXES & NOTATION
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricci_calculus
INDEXES OF THE FORM 1,2,3 RELATE TO VECTORS.
INDEXES OF THE FORM X,Y,Z RELATE TO 3-DIMENSIONAL SPACIAL DISTANCE.
INDEXES OF THE FORM X,Y,Z,T & GREEK LETTERS RELATE TO SPACE-TIME.
Covariant =
(Mathematics) a variant that changes leaving interrelations with another variant (or variants) unchanged
Covariant tensor components[edit]
A lower index (subscript) indicates covariance of the components with respect to that index:
{\displaystyle A_{\alpha \beta \gamma \cdots }} A_{\alpha\beta\gamma \cdots}
Contravariant tensor components[edit]
An upper index (superscript) indicates contravariance of the components with respect to that index:
{\displaystyle A^{\alpha \beta \gamma \cdots }} A^{\alpha\beta\gamma \cdots}
Mixed-variance tensor components[edit]
A tensor may have both upper and lower indices:
{\displaystyle A_{\alpha }{}^{\beta }{}_{\gamma }{}^{\delta \cdots }.} {\displaystyle A_{\alpha }{}^{\beta }{}_{\gamma }{}^{\delta \cdots }.}
.
.
.
ABOUT DARK ENERGY & DARK MATTER?
We tend to think of the universe as an inflatable balloon. But the push of dark energy & the pull dark matter (gravity) make it seem more like a spring, and quite possibly a spring that is oscillating between compression & expansion.
At the current time our universe is observed to be accelerating outwards with no end in sight. But consider a highly compressed spring tied down at one end & that has just been released. From the point of it being released to its state of equilibrium there is obviously acceleration. 14 billion years since the Big Bang, is it not possible that universe has not reached its state of equilibrium & is still accelerating outwards?
And then there is inertia, the property of matter to continue in a state of unchanged motion. It is resistance to a change in motion. Einstein's theory says that as the speed of a body increases, so does it's mass, which would result in a greater pull of gravity. Perhaps a black hole is the result of a body speeding so fast beyond other bodies that it invariably pulls the other bodies closer to it, something like a worm whose head moves first with its behind catching up, much the same as an oscillating spring.

John Cox sounds just like another Meg Whitman or Arnold Schwarzenegger & we know what happened there. I voted for Trump, because he stood on the issues, not because he was a rich elite business man. Trump proved he stood on principles, not making more money. This guy Cox is as wishy,washy,mushy on the issues as Schwarzenegger, Meg Whitman & Romney. In the face of extreme adversity, this guy's judgment is as questionable as General McClellan. Until I hear a SOLID "NO MORE ILLEGALS", this guy can take a hike. Simply saying you are not for sanctuary cities is NOT ENOUGH.
The definition of insanity is to keep doing what keeps failing. And weak Republicans keep favoring wealth & money over principles. Fearful Republicans are going to loose again if they vote for Cox & in so doing they will be selling out the citizens of this state in their useless attempts to compromise. We've watched it happen over & over again. ""Oh!" you say. "But the polls show blah blah blah". RIght. And who is conducting the polls? We learned in the Presidential election that the polls don't mean a damn thing.
IT IS TIME TO CHANGE. VOTE FOR WHAT YOU STAND FOR, NOT BECAUSE YOU ARE AFRAID OF LOSING. I'm going with Travis Allen, EVEN THOUGH THIS ELECTION IS COMPLETELY RIGGED BY DEMOCRATS. THE MEASAGE THAT IS DELIVERED IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN WINNING.

Renewing Drivers License at Cal DMV = WORSE 2 DAYS OF MY LIFE in recent memory.
1. No Parking less than 1/2 mile away. Parking lot constantly full.
2. POOR APPOINTMENT SCHEDULING.
People standing in line outside for hour to keep their appointment. Then standing in line for hours just to make an application out.
3. UNDER STAFFED. NO STANDING IN-LINE ASSISTANTS. NO APPARENT OVERALL FACILITY MANAGEMENT OVERSIGHT TO TELL PEOPLE "WHAT'S GOING ON".
PEOPLE WERE STANDING FOR AN HOUR BEFORE ANYONE SAID THERE HAD BEEN A SYSTEM CRASH & WE NEED TO SEND YOU HOME.
4. POOR GUIDE POSTS & NO DIRECTIONAL SIGNS.
YOU ARE TOLD TO GO TO THE RED CARPET & STAND IN-LINE SOME MORE, BUT THERE ARE RED CARPETS ALL OVER THE PLACE. THE 1ST STOP IS IN THE BACK BEHIND EVERYTHING ELSE WHERE YOU 1ST MAKE OUT AN APPLICATION. Applications should be submitted over internet from home.
5. MORE LONG WAITING. After making out application you are given a call number & forced to wait some more until your number is called to a specific window. Give another hour for that.
6. LACK OF UP FRONT INSTRUCTIONAL COMMUNICATION.
NOT UNTIL YOU GET TO A WINDOW WHERE THEY ASK FOR MONEY DO THEY TELL YOU "NO CREDIT CARDS".
This was a TOTAL NIGHTMARE.
Having made an appointment & after standing for 2 hours,
we were told to come back on another day. I left there barely able to walk with a huge backache. They gave out quick passes which they said will circumvent standing in line again. WRONG! Going back there again the next day, I had to first park over 1/2 mile away again, then stand in line for Window #1 again. From Window #1 I was sent to Window #10 where I took an eye test. Then the clerk said $35 please. But they do not take credit cards which was all I had with me. I had to go back home, get some cash, & return to the GOD AWFUL PLACE, again parking far away. But this time I got a little quicker service and finally out of there.
All this thanks to Jerry Brown who has thrown so much overload crap at the DMV & who wants a bullet train so he can avoid the mess he has created in this state.

There are appropriate limits to forgiveness to prevent inappropriate forgiveness & continued wrongfull behavior. Not properly admonishing/disciplining your mischievous children is inappropriate forgiveness Living with an abusive spouse is inappropriate forgiveness. Ignoring the trespassing of illegal migrants & creating sanctuary city/states is inappropriate forgiveness. Not to waterboard a well proven terrorist is inappropriate forgiveness. Not to execute a well proven murderer is inappropriate forgiveness. Inappropriate forgiveness turns a blind eye to unjust behavior & becomes complicit with injustice.
On the other hand, not to properly, proportinately & timely forgive is also unjust. There is a time for war and a time for peace.

STEFAN HALPER AS A SPY ON THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN???
POLITICS MAKES FOR STRANGE BED FELLOWS & ABUSE OF POWER. It can be as irrational & inexplicable as a high school student who goes into a shooting rampage.
Looking at Halper's background, it makes very little sense for him to spy upon a Republican candidate. Nevertheless, he may be a Bush loyalist who shares anger against Trump & more than willing to be hired for hundreds of thousands of dollars by a politically biased Brennan who was probably more in bed with Obama than Clapper. Upon listening to his opinion expressed to the BBC in 2017, it would seem that Halper's political opinion is definitely biased.
Obama, Clapper, & Brennan made government payments to Halper in Sept 2016 to spy on Trump campaign & Jul 2017 to spy on Trump Presidency. Those actions were not in the name of "national security". They were a covert spy operation worse than Water Gate for the purposes of preserving political power contrary to the will of the people. More than likely, the chain of command & flow would be from Obama to Brennan, from Brennan to Clapper, from Clapper to DOJ, from DOJ to FBI, ie, a complete frame up job of smoke & mirrors originating with Obama in seeking to maintain Democratic Party control of the nation, supported by Trump-hating Republicans willing to risk the welfare of the nation in a beyond-reason waiting game for their next turn at bat.
Being in US intelligence & now in Britain, Halper may know Christopher Steele? But his reporting would have been downstream from Christopher Steele who was hired by Washington Free Beacon in late 2015 & DNC in mid 2016. So t is highly doubtful that he could unbiasedly corroborate the salacious Steele dossier.
THERE HAS BEEN FAR TOO MUCH CLOAK & DAGGER CRAP IN THIS ENTIRE AFFAIR, FAR TOO MUCH "IN THE NAME OF NATIONAL SECURITY", FAR TOO MUCH "CLASSIFIED SECRECY", FAR TOO MUCH "UNDISCLOSED SOURCES". IT IS ALL SMOKE & MIRRORS CRAP! IT IS TIME FOR THE ACCUSERS TO COME OUT OF THE WOODWORK WITH THEIR EVIDENCE/WITNESSES & PUT UP OR SHUT UP.

POLITICS MAKES FOR STRANGE BED FELLOWS & ABUSE OF POWER. It can be as irrational & inexplicable as a high school student who goes into a shooting rampage.
Looking at Halper's background, it makes very little sense for him to spy upon a Republican candidate. Nevertheless, he may be a Bush loyalist who shares anger against Trump & more than willing to be hired for hundreds of thousands of dollars by a politically biased Brennan who was probably more in bed with Obama than Clapper. Upon listening to his opinion expressed to the BBC in 2017, it would seem that Halper's political opinion is definitely biased.

Rush Limbaugh offers THE MOST LOGICAL EXPLANATION OF HOW A LEGITIMATE INVESTIGATION EVOLVED INTO A POLITICAL NARRATIVE TO PROTECT HILLARY CLINTON.
1. The hack into John Podesta's email was his own fault in responding to a PHISHING attempt by an unknown hacker.
2. HOWEVER, the hack into the DNC server COULD NOT HAVE BEEN OVER THE INTERNET AS INITIALLY REPORTED BY CROWDSTRIKE, AND THEREFORE NOT A "RUSSIAN" HACK AS ALLEGED. INSTEAD IT HAD TO BE AN INSIDE JOB BASED UPON THE EXTREMELY HIGH SPEEDS OF DATA TRANSFER THAT ARE NOT AVAILABLE OVER THE INTERNET.
Rush notes that the Pakistani tech guys (Iwan brothers ?) working for Debbie W. Schultz (who have now escaped back to Pakistan) would be the most likely perps.
When coupled with Hillary's internet abuse & negligence, it would seem that everything connected with the Hillary campaign was reflective of an arrogant irresponsible mentality, WHICH HAS CREATED A HOAX TO HIDE ITS OWN LACKINGS & DECEITFULLY OFFER AN EXCUSE FOR UNLAWFULLY USING LAW ENFORCEMENT (UNDER FALLACIOUS COLOR OF LAW) TO UNDO THE ELECTION RESULT & CONTRARY TO THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE. Had high level law enforcement not been in bed with Hillary & the liberal media & instead properly prosecuted Hillary when it was learned she violated the law in using her own personal server for government business, our system would not look so foolish & hypocritical to the rest of the world. In addition, PEOPLE WHO HAVE SINCE BEEN UNJUSTLY PERSECUTED WOULD NOT BE UNNECESSARILY SUFFERING AS THEY NOW ARE.

BALONEY! Not according to the Apostle Paul! Where we wish the Catholic head well, we hope & pray he does not endorse a new Guy Fawkes subversion and attack upon Protestant values. Such an effort would be contrary to belief in Christ AS LORD & SAVIOR & play into the hands of CHRISTIPHOBIC muslims who reject Christ. NO RELIGIOUS BELIEF SHOULD GO OVERBOARD TO PROTECT CRIMINAL OR UNNATURAL BEHAVIOR, SUCH AS CHILD MOLESTATION OR HOMOSEXUALITY, UNDER THE GUISE OF UNFETTERED "LOVE". There are times when TOUGH LOVE is the call of one's duty to mankind. Admonishing child molestors & homosexuals is one of those times.
In addition, no martyrdom is valid if it unjustly & aggressively gives up life for the purposes of murdering innocent people to make a statement. "There is no love greater than he who gives up his life on behalf of his friends" does not include the deliberate indiscriminate suicide bombing of innocent people, albeit unintended collateral damage does occur by those justifiably protecting their own after being unjustly attacked.

Remember Obama loosening the rules of sovereign privacy with respect to releasing information regarding ongoing investigations among US agencies AND FOREIGN AGENCIES IN HIS LAST DAYS IN OFFICE. WHY SO AFTER TRUMP HAD BEEN ELECTED??? ANSWER-The LACK OF TRANSPARENCY (ie, hiding under claims of "national security" , "classified info", & "protected undisclosed sources") can only be construed to be POLITICAL SUBVERSION.

FORCED ATTENDANCE in public schools puts children directly into harms way & prevents parents from using alternative methods of educating their children. It is a COMPLETELY OBSOLETE method of education that may have worked well in the horse & buggy days, but is now being used as a cheap (but dangerous) form of baby sitting, as well as political indoctrination . Children in public schools are not only exposed to bullying (as was always the case), but now child molestation by teachers, political propagandizing by teachers, drug sellers & shootings.
The internet provides a viable alternative for education, making physical presence unnecessary. It also allows parents to better protect their children from such terrible events that can damage for life.

Mueller's investigation goes FAR BEYOND his authority to look into the alleged conspiracy to defraud voters, regardless of what this so-called judge says. It is a dangerous tactic to conflate what is alleged to be long past money laundering (probably based upon allegations that Manafort tried to hide money from being taxed long ago) with completely unrelated allegations of rigging the 2016 election. IT IS A MOST DANGEROUS ATTEMPT TO IMPOSE GUILT BY ASSOCIATION, WHICH IF ALLOWED TO CONTINUE, WILL RESULT IN A GOVERNMENT THAT CAN UNJUSTLY PERSECUTE ANYONE AT ITS SLIGHTEST WHIM..
If Manafort is to be prosecuted for money laundering (which the DOJ investigated back in 2008 & did not prosecute) , then the prosecution should not be commingled with any prosecution of election rigging. Otherwise, the government itself becomes guilty of "justice laundering". The length of time allowed for any such prosecutorial investigation should be restricted to time limits proportional to the amount of alleged damage done. Certainly, investigations into murder should be allowed to continue for as long as it takes. But lesser crimes do not demand an endless search. And certainly lesser white collar crimes do not require or justify the government coming to your house to bust down the doors in the middle of the night & tear up your home.
This Mueller investigation is operating hypocritically & unjustly under the color of law. It needs to be stopped, NOW.
IT CANNOT BE TRUSTED!

AFRICANIZED BEES
The liberal media has become nothing more than a bunch of Africanized bees. They swarm and viciously attack at whatever does not suit their agenda. They are dangerous to a free society. The following report of a man "attacking" a woman wearing muslim garb is an example..
THIS IS PURE BULL SHIT! THE ULTIMATE BIGOTRY IS THE MUSLIM RELIGION REJECTING JESUS CHRIST, IE, CHRISTIPHOBIA. Did Muhammad ever heal anyone the way Jesus did? Did Muhammad ever love & forgive the way Jesus did? Did Muhammad ever come back to life the way Jesus did, offering peace, purpose & hope for mankind? Hell no. All Muhammad ever did was to have dreams which someone else wrote down. He never accepted Jesus Christ as Lord & Savior. But he sure could violently conquer others.
In this country, we learned long ago not to be in each others faces with our individual religious beliefs. But muslims insist on being in our faces with their religion which is clearly the case when they actively wear clothes that advocate their religion in RELIGIOUS FREE ZONES . For them civility is preempted by ideology.
THE MUSLIM IDEOLOGY/RELIGION IS THE MOST NAZI-LIKE LINE OF POLITICAL THOUGHT TODAY. THE WOMAN IN THIS ARTICLE MIGHT AS WELL BE WEARING A NAZI UNIFORM. IT IS AS INDECENT, INAPPROPRIATE & OFFENSIVE AS IF SHE WERE RUNNING AROUND IN THE NUDE. IT IS A SYMBOL OF RESISTANCE TO ACCEPTING AMERICAN CULTURE WHICH HAS ADOPTED HER. They may think they are smart in quoting our Bible, BUT THE FACT IS, AS JESUS SAID "BY THEIR FRUITS YOU WILL KNOW THEM". And quite frankly, time & time again the fruits of muslims have proven throughout history to be violence which ABSOLUTELY SUCKS.
Of course the organized religion of Christianity has not been the historic picture of perfect health. It is hard enough for Christians to get along with other Christians. Witness the recent clashes between Catholic & Protestant in Ireland. BUT THEY DO HAVE ONE THING IN COMMON THAT ENABLES THEM TO STAND EACH OTHER, IE, JESUS CHRIST. CHRISTIANITY IS FAR CLEANER TODAY THAN THE MUSLIM IDEOLOGY/RELIGION WHICH COMPLETELY REJECTS JESUS CHRIST .
Muslim advocates are the perpetrators of civil disobedience, conflict & altercation. They always have been & always will be. There is not one non-muslim country in the world that has not been assaulted by the muslim past & continuing violent disobedience. Against Gandhi's will, India had to be partitioned because muslims could not get along, & so they were given their own land in Pakistan & Bangladesh. Israel, despite an overwhelming attack by the muslim states, granted back territory to the Palestinians. But is any of this good enough for the muslim world. HELL NO. THEY WANT IT ALL. That they have their own countries of origin should satisfy them. But oh no, they have to impose on other countries & other cultures, beginning with their violent invasion of Africa where Christianity had already taken root back in the 1st millennium.
Today, they come crawling into our country under allegations of being peaceful. They hide under claims of religious freedom, when in fact they subscribe to Sharia Law which goes back to the equivalence our of religious Blue Laws eliminated from our government centuries ago. This stands in direct opposition to separation of church and state. They think religious freedom means they can do what they want when they want and where they want, failing to recognize that religious freedom is simply a protection against being persecuted by the government for their theology, not protection of their behavior. They want to exercise their alleged religious rites in the work place, thereby imposing their religion on others in the work environment. They want to impose their religion in our universities which are publicly supported by tax-payer money. In the end, when they cannot get their own way, they ultimately revert to their belief in Jihad. They are nothing less than "WOLVES IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING".
Well we have news for them. THEY CAN'T HAVE IT ALL! It is time to put a stop to it. And the smartest thing we can do is to NOT LET THEM INTO OUR COUNTRY IN THE FIRST PLACE. It is the only way to avert scenes such as this that will eventually lead to violence & civil war within our own country. The reason we have sovereign borders is to separate clashing cultures. Anyone who believes in world-wide homogeneity is ABSOLUTELY NUTS. All this mentality will ever achieve is the distribution of violence throughout the world. Never will there ever be a safe zone for any form of humanity to exist free from violence. We have already seen this to be true in our own backyard, because of our politicians negligence to exploit our gentle natures.
Oh yes, the deficient liberal mentality might point saying "Look here. Here is a current example of homogeneous success". They might point to a little place in Spain where muslims & non-muslims once dwelt in peace. But that is just one little exception to the general rule. THEY CONVENIENTLY ENTIRELY IGNORE & EXCLUDE THE OVERWHELMING FACTS OF HISTORY. SUCH "IGNORANCE" IS JUST THAT, "IGNORANCE".
In addition, to construe religious thought with race is an ABSOLUTE FARCE. Religious thought is a choice, not something that the individual cannot change, such as color of skin. To construe religious thought with race is to SELFISHLY EXPLOIT the errors of our past which have been corrected as expressed by Kanye West. Race is MIDDLE EASTERN, NOT MUSLIM. RACE IS HEBREW NOT JEW. RACE IS CAUCASIAN, NOT CHRISTIAN. RACE IS BLACK, NOT VOOODO. RACE IS ASIAN, NOT BUDDHIST. etc, etc.
On the other hand, IMMEDIATE BEHAVIOR is of concern to all. To say "I don't like you" is one thing & a right of free speech. To physically attack is quite another. "Sticks & stones, may break my bones, but words will never hurt" is the old saying that has been recognized in this country for years.
It is what allows us to carry on with rancorous political thought without anyone really being hurt. But today we seem to have a bunch of WHIMPS SEEKING TO CURTAIL THE EXPRESSION OF THOUGHT WHICH LEADS TO THOUGHT CONTROL. IF "HATE SPEECH" IS EVER CODIFIED INTO LAW THEN THIS COUNTRY WILL CEASE TO EXIST AS A FREE NATION. We have already seen this development in terms of "POLITICAL CORRECTNESS". It fails to recognize that civility can coexist with admonishment as an expression of dislike.
From this video, it is hard to determine who started the inappropriate behavior. But certainly the woman's dress is offensive behavior & she would know that it is offensive. And he made a simple comment "is this Halloween?" After that she continued to assail him, with him turning his back on her & refusing to talk anymore. She could have easily disengaged at that point. But instead she continued to advance the altercation. It is clear that she is trying to shove her religion in his face. In the absence of any thing proceeding this video, the woman is the aggressor & inciting confrontation .
When our children do something wrong, we admonish them. It is my impression that this man was doing nothing more than admonishing the woman with a simple comment for which he was assailed relentlessly.. But then again if he physically assaulted her, then he should be removed from the premises.

Melania Trump = A MOST ELEGANT 1ST LADY. We pray she has the strength to weather the evil & most inappropriate assault by the liberal left upon her marriage.
In the search for truth, what the lying liberal left does not get & abuses is that there is "APPROPRIATE TRUTH TELLING" and "INAPPROPRIATE TRUTH TELLING". .Responsible parents do not tell their children the bare naked truth of every little thing, because it can hurt them. Neither should outsiders tell the spouse of an infidel partner about the infidelities of their partner unless asked. To do so is INAPPROPRIATE TRUTH TELLING, the true motives of which are highly suspicious and questionable.
In the case of the Stormy Daniels "MATTER", there is very strong & good reason to believe that it is entirely fraudulent, slanderous & made up for the purposes of ruining Trump's marriage marriage. It has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH TRUMP EFFECTIVENESS AS POTUS today. The alleged matter happened so long ago that it is inconsequential and irrelevant. It is a DELIBERATE AND MALICIOUS ATTACK UPON TRUMP'S MARRIAGE, NOT UPON HIS PRESIDENCY. As such, the lying liberal left should be condemned by all. Have they no shame?
The lying liberal left has no problem in hiding (via redacting) the truth about their own abuse of power, yet in the name of "truth" they have no problem babbeling about things that are none of their business in the first place, ie, INAPPROPRIATE TRUTH TELLING, and that have absolutely no bearing upon the duties or performance of the POTUS. Were the POTUS to engaged in inappropriate behavior within the abodes provided by the tax payer, such as BILL CLINTON, then it would correctly become a public matter. But such is not the case with the Trump presidency.

The Allegations Against Rackauckus Appear to be TOO TRIVIAL & POLITICALLY MOTIVATED.

Given the OBAMA/JERRY BROWN INSPIRED DISRUPTION & ABUSE OF OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES, I see little reason to allow the attached "family disputes" to abandon what has been proven to be a good county prosecutor, Rackauckus.
We need time to stabilize our law enforcement community.

It is beginning to appear that Comey's involvement in the political holocaust of 2016 stems from his clumsy attempts to avoid dragging the FBI into the political environment. In so doing, he actually shot himself in the foot. He deserves no respect for the simple reason that he had no guts to initiate a more timely investigation of Hillary Clinton. When he begins to make stupid personal comments about Trump (his wife, his hands, etc), then Comey becomes a "SLIME BALL". End Of Story.

There is no question that Edward Kennedy obstructed justice & destroyed evidence (all done more recently in the same manner by Hillary Clinton). There is no question that he lied about swimming across the channel when he actually took a boat. What is troubling is the possibility that Edward may have actually deliberately murdered Mary Jo. The movie depicts a policeman coming upon Edward's car parked just before the accident in a wooded area, then with the car speeding off when he spotted the policeman. And then the "accident" wherein Edward was able to get out of the car but Mary Jo was not. Something is very wrong with this whole picture. But of course, we are suppose to believe his complete bullshit, because after all, he is among the elite, & they are not to be questioned.
It would appear that Edward was given a pass riding on the shirt tails of his 2 brothers' assassinations. And despite this, he never gave an apology to Mary Jo's family. That in itself shows the complete lack of character of Edward. A reopening of the case would help clarify unanswered questions, but one must question the practicality at this point in time, given the mess this country is in To identify yourself as a republican or democrat today is to accept the wrong doing of both parties.
Back in the 70's, it is understandable that people wanted a return to Camelot. But remember that Camelot was undone by King Arthur's own son. And Camelot went out the door the day Jerry Brown & our so-called "justice" system allowed Sirhan Sirhan to get off the hook. What is really surprising is that all of the high powered democratic political figures that put a large amount of effort into protecting Edward & his family name would have done much better had they instead put that same effort into getting Sirhan Sirhan executed.
There seems to be a lack of guts to do the right thing on the part of liberals. They continue to throw out smoke screens, bearing false witness, rewriting history and making false allegations, all in the name of a phony self righteous compassion (actually empathy, not compassion) & in their continuing attempts to cover up the truth and steal power away from the citizens of this country.

How IRONICALLY HYPOCRITICAL. This guy should be hung
(meaning castrated & hanged for those who make light of meaning).. "Oh how terrible?". You think I should give a rats ass what happens to this guy? You have no right to judge me unless you give me the same powers as Governor Brown. But that a'int never going to happen.
Do you really think God cares about him? It was God that gave the authority to use capital punishment in the 1st place. Jesus did not overturn that law. Brown has allowed far more than an eye or a tooth to be taken. He is now allowing the stealing of an entire state that was bought & paid for by the Federal Government.
You want to hate me for hating this bastard, go right ahead. But I have plenty of reason to, because this guy is no better than the murderers he released. And because of it millions of innocent people have suffered enough. In short, Jerry Brown is the wolf in sheep's clothing against whom Jesus warned.
Brown is today's modern Herod & Caiaphas wrapped up in one. If you really enjoy having you children molested and murdered, if you really enjoy giving up your home, state, & nation, then by all means, continue to support Brown. You can feel good about yourself, because it is no skin off your nose, is it. And that is really what it is all about, "feeling good about yourself", isn't it. You can feel good about giving your country away to those poor suffering foreigners, never minding who really owns the country and the damage done,
not to mention the diminishing example of goodness that is eroded away. Jesus never said to steal from the rich and give to the poor. He said, "If you can, voluntarily & justifiably give what you can to the poor". But do not take from others jto give to someone else just to make yourself look good. Al Capone did as much with his soup kitchens.
I do not enjoy demonizing others the way Brown does. But wrong is evil, and consorting with evil is evil. Real Christians don't stand for evil. Christians have real shame for the wrong they have done directly against others. Jerry Brown is an arrogant bastard that has no shame and consistently imposes his wrong doing on others..

TO SUPPORT OR NOT TO SUPPORT, THAT IS THE QUESTION.
The key question is "Are they citizens or are they not"? If they are not citizens, then they need to be deported. If they are citizens, the next question is "Are they criminals or not"? If they are, then to what extent are they criminals? In other words, do they deserve humane treatment or not. It is not rational to say "Oh those poor suffering folk. We need to help them lest we become hateful bigots". That is PURE BS.
Presumably. the government is suppose to protect citizens from invasion. But if the government neglects or refuses to do its job, then obviously we don't have a government & it is every man for himself, hence the demand for maintaining the 2nd amendment.
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO QUESTION THAT OUR SO-CALLED "DEMOCRATIC" GOVERNMENT IS COMPLETELY RESPONSIBLE FOR TODAY'S OUT-OF-CONTROL INVASION OF OUR COUNTRY BY ILLEGALS. TODAY, IT IS NOT "DEMOCRATIC" BEING COMPLETELY OVERRUN AND CONTROLLED BY THE LIBERAL COURT(S). AND THE RESULTING IMPACT FINDS A DIMINISHING RETURN TO THE CITIZEN FOR ITS SUPPORT OF THE GOVERNMENT, IE,. THE INCREASED USE, DEPLETION & UNAVAILABILITY OF RESOURCES INCLUDING WATER, HIGHWAYS/ROADS, SHELTER, JAILS, SEWERS, CLEAN ENVIRONMENT, HEALTH FACILITIES, EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES, ETC.... NOT TO MENTION THE INCREASE IN TAXES, THE DILUTION OF CITIZEN VOTES, AND PRESSURES IMPOSED UPON CITIZENS RESULTING IN INDIVIDUAL BREAKDOWN AND THE INABILITY TO PROVIDE FOR ONE'S SELF. If there is "insanity" one look no further than the state for the cause.
There is no parable, rule or law that says if others unknown to you are in the toilet, then you have to jump in with them. (The newsman does not have to stand in waste-high storm water where he could be electrocuted in order to do his job of reporting.) And there is a huge difference between genuine compassion & feigned empathy for political purposes. Genuine compassion is not irresponsibly neglectful of giving justifiable support when possible. (Notice the words "justifiable" & "possible".) Genuine compassion does not deny justifiable support by giving to those who are undeserving. On the other hand, empathy requires no justifiable action or inaction. It can turn into nothing more than cheap talk & political ruse, ie, "actions speak louder than words", "put YOUR money (not others money) where your mouth is", "Walk the talk", ..... Even then, such "giving" can be deception. Al Capone opened soup kitchens to show what a good guy he was. BS! Jesus said "When you pray, pray in privacy". In a similar manner, when you give, give in private. Do not make a display of your alleged goodness.
In short, I want a place for those CITIZENS WHO ARE INNOCENT OF ANY SERIOUS WRONG DOING & SCREW THE REST, BECAUSE THEY DON'T DESERVE IT AND SHOULD BE EITHER IN JAIL &/OR DEPORTED. The Good Samaritan did not give to the thugs who beat & robbed the victim. No, he gave to the legitimate victim. THAT IS REAL HUMANITARIANISM.

Communication requires a speaker & a listener.
And it must be synchronous. ie, 2 way with appropriate protocol.
Communication is a fundamental part of common understanding. And understanding is a fundamental part of knowing.
Communication is based upon agreement in language.
There are many languages, but one is more "conventional"
and more capable of depicting the truth which is reality.
Language is made up in part of writing & phonic symbology.
And symbology can be reduced to encrypted binary numbers,
0 or 1, yes or no.
Rules can only be expressed in writing or phonic symbology.
A beautiful thing about language is that it enables the
traversing of vast stretches of time, thereby enabling
a one way communication with those who have past away.
Prayer may be an important part of communication .
And there are many languages through which it is expressed.
That early Christians were said to speak in tongues may not be the joke that some mock.
And then there is Robert De Niro who said, "You speaking to me? If you are not speaking to me, then who in the hell are you talking to?"
Needless to say, both the good and the bad can employ the language(s). Unfortunately, the bad have very limited vocabularies only knowing the "F" word which is extensively used in today's movies to a fault. Actually it represents a breakdown in communication.
Closely related to this is "belief" which depends upon one's ability (or inability) to connect communicated projections of the future with one's past experiences. "Faith" is reliance upon the words of another, ie, "trust".

Where metaphors are literally interpreted there is stupidity. Take for example the metaphor, "RAN INTO TROUBLE". Does a person actually visualize a person "RUNNING" into trouble? More normally, not.

Of course they are & have been all along, BEGINNING BACK WHEN HILLARY & BILL BROKERED THE DEAL THAT ALLOWED RUSSIA TO ACQUIRE 20% OF OUR NUCLEAR RESOURCES. Metaphorically, The DNC basically hired a hitman to kill Trump so they could claim no responsibility and had nothing to do with it.

And here is what the PBS NEWSHOUR says he said.

PBS says "The Russian campaign was SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO TARNISH HILARY CLINTON & PROMOTE DONALD TRUMP", AN OUTRIGHT LIE! ROSENSTEIN SAID NO SUCH THING. IN FACT HE SAID QUITE THE OPPOSITE, POINTING OUT THAT THE RUSSIANS HAD ORCHESTRATED DEMONSTRATIONS BOTH FOR AND AGAINST DONALD TRUMP ON THE SAME DAY.
Now it is obvious that PBS is fearful of having its governmental cash cow axed. And therein is the motive for their bull shit disservice to the community. Given the extent to which they have gone in their propagandizing, PBS NEWS SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN along with their stupid biased discussion programs. PBS = Political Bias Sh_t.

For Lent, I'm running out of things to give up.
There is an old joke that goes like this:
1. The young person says "Boy I sure had a good lay last night".
2. The middle aged person says "Boy I sure had a good sleep last night".
3. The old person says "Boy, I sure had a good crap last night".
Being beyond old, I can attest to the veracity of this joke.
I have begun a list of things I have given up over my life time.
When I first became married, I gave up several friendships.
When I became a father, I gave up surfing.
When the 1st wife screwed up big time on me, I divorced.
When the 2nd wife effectively asked me to give up my children, I divorced.
When the 3rd wife turned out to be a whimp in the face of adversity, I divorced again. After 3 marriages & several disappointments, I stopped dating a long time ago.
And after that last marriage, I stopped pursuing my bachelors degree having the equivalent of 120 semester units.
I stopped going to Disneyland after the kids grew up.
I use to enjoy playing tennis, but after a broken achillies tendon I stopped playing that.
I use to enjoy playing guitar, but after getting carpel tunnel, i gave that up.
I use to enjoy sailing, but that fell by the wayside too.
Sex went bye bye after 60 by choice.
I got a real estate brokers license, but that was boring.
Having acquired enough financial resources by working to be self sufficient, but having been screwed out of more money than I needed, I stopped investing.
I had an RV, but that is now gone.
I have done enough travel to satisfy my interest.
I have given up TV because the mass media is so disgusting.
More recently, I have given up on eating too muich.
So there has been a lot I have given up.
But you know something.
I AM DOING QUITE WELL WITHOUT ALL OF THAT FOREGOING CRAP! Keeping it simple is the best cure for what-ever ails you.
There are just TWO THINGS I WILL NOT GIVE UP.
1. BRIDGE.
2. NOT LETTING A GOVERNMENT THAT IS SUPPOSE TO PROTECT ME AND MY FAMILY FROM FOREIGN INVADERS, TRESPASSERS, MURDERERS, TERRORISTS & OTHER COUNTRIES THREATENING NUCLEAR WAR GET AWAY WITH NOT DOING ITS JOB THROUGH ITS LAZY, SELF RIGHTEOUS, POWER SEEKING NEGLIGENCE .
Those two things I will never give up.

If the FBI was only interested in wire tapping a specific individual, THEN WHY WOULD IT DO SO ON A MASS BASIS WITHOUT FIRST GETTING APPROVAL FROM THE OWNER OF THE PUBLIC ABODE WITHIN WHICH THE PERSON OF INTEREST IS PRESENT, unless of course it was also targeting the owner of the public abode.

World History tells us that geographical borders are the resolutions resulting from cultural wars. NOW IF YOU ARE SO G/D STUPID AS TO WANT TO TEAR DOWN THOSE BORDERS, THEN YOU BETTER REALIZE THAT YOU ARE THE ONE TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE RESUMPTION OF THOSE CULTURAL CIVIL WARS.
Aside from that, to argue that GLOBAL WARMING is caused by humans and then turn right around and argue in favor of tearing down the borders, while at the same time granting greater use of the automobile by foreign invaders thereby contributing to greater degradation of the environment (air pollution & road destruction) and at the same time decrying the lack of affordable housing, IS COMPLETE SELF-CONTRADICTORY IDIOCY & STUPIDITY that no reasonable human being could ever understand.

PHONY LIBERAL EMPATHY vs. TRUE CONSERVATIVE COMPASSION
Liberals exercise a SELFISH LAZY COMPASSION (EMPATHY) where Conservatives exercise ENGAGING HARD WORK COMPASSION. What does that mean? It means that liberals are too damn lazy to go to the other person's house to help them, which arouses the suspicion that they really do not have compassion. "Sure come on to my house & I'll help you, But I am too lazy or fearful to go to your house".
On the other hand, Conservatives, such as the churches, go to the other person's house (in the form of "missions") to help with true compassion. Another example of Conservatives going the extra mile is clearly portrayed in the movie, 12 STRONG, the true story of the first VERY BRAVE AMERICAN SOLDIERS going into Afghanistan (after 911) to help the Northern Alliance defeat an overwhelmingly numerous Taliban.

It is time for a civil war in California. Citizens need to take back their state and country. It is not the desirable choice, but citizens have been pushed TOO FAR FOR TOO LONG. Given the lawless renegade policies of the liberal left, THERE CAN BE NO OTHER OUTCOME. If you love your home, family, neighbors & country, you will defend it to the death against foreign invaders. If you have any respect for those who serve(d) in the military to defend this country, then you will defend it yourself against foreign invaders. You might think your have another place to run to, but as the saying goes, "You can run, but you cannot hide". I am not a patriot. I am not a soldier, I am not a bigot, I am not a racist. I am not a homophobe. BUT ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, AND I CAN WELL READ THE WRITINGS ON THE WALL. This state & this country are in a self destruct mode based upon phony morality and ideology.

An Interesting Sermon Today From The President Of Fuller Seminary.
The message was on "remembering" vs. choosing what "not to remember". It was obviously delivered to a congregation upset by the firing of their beloved Minister Of Music. But beyond that it applied to far more reaching circumstances.
Where he did not come right out and say it, one might assume that the gist of his message was "forgive & forget". In my own set of circumstances, how does one forget the evil bull shit of a judge telling two small children, whose mother has been murdered by her husband before their very eyes, to quote "forgive & forget"? Such a message is absolute crap. How does one forget (let alone forgive) a father who deprives his children of their rightful inheritance from their mother after murdering his wife? And how does one forgive and forget the same murderer for making a mockery of Christian values by sending a letter from prison containing a picture of himself with other inmates on which is written "good clean cut Christian boys"? It's bullshit that allows the Cross of Jesus Christ to be spit upon & an insult to every good Christian human being. Are we really to forget 911? Are we really to forget the mass shooting at Ft Hood? Are we really to forget the beheading of Nick Berg? I don't think so.
There are those who quote "Vengeance is Mine alone sayeth the Lord". And there are those who claim to be Christian, yet commit vile acts, thus turning the Cross into a form of "sheep's clothing". But the overall message of the Bible is clear, ie, we are not to commit evil (extreme wrong doing), we are not to side with evil, we are not to be unjust, we are not to hide under the Cross, etc. In other words, WE ARE NOT TO TOLERATE EVIL EITHER IN OURSELVES OR IN OTHERS. Yet that is exactly what our society has been doing now ever since that idiot, Truman Capote, wrote his novel, In Cold Blood & therein condemning society at large for it s alleged cruelty.. "Forgive and Forget" is a most ugly message to any victim of violent crime and is more cruel than the death itself in that the wounds inflicted never heal & unjustly extend through a life time.
But in his sermon that insulting message was not delivered.
No, instead his message pertained more to our memory of evil & blaming God. In my mind, it is clear that we are not to blame God for the evil that befalls us. The Book of Job makes this clear. Many people today blame God for their conditions. To them I would say, "Have you never created something, only to have it go awry?". We humans create missiles with self destruct mechanisms built in. Do you not suppose God is smart enough to do the same?
So when it comes to forgiveness & forgetting, I forgive God & do not blame Him. But I do not forgive or forget the evils that mankind does. Not that every little thing needs to be remembered and held onto. But when it comes to unjustified homicide, that cannot and should not ever be tolerated/forgiven/forgotten , with capital punishment (not life in prison) being the appropriate justice (not vengeance) meted out. Anything less than that is siding with evil.

A Simple Lesson In The Morality Of Humanity For Liberals.
Doing the "right" thing for the "right" people is the morally correct and just thing to do.
Doing the "right" thing for the "wrong" people is to be hypocritical and unjust.
In addition, action speaks louder than words. It is not enough to say "I feel love for humanity" without it being backed up by moral and just action. Mere words, such as those spoken by skilled politicians, are cheap without real significant meaning, And so we say "Good Bye Obama" who mistreated a just and loving nation founded on the principles of Christianity.

 Trump's lack of decorum, dignity, and statesmanship?
My Leftist friends (as well as many ardent #NeverTrumpers) constantly ask me if I’m not bothered by Donald Trump’s lack of decorum. They ask if I don’t think his tweets are “beneath the dignity of the office.”
Here’s my answer:
We right-thinking people have tried dignity. There could not have been a man of more quiet dignity than George W. Bush as he suffered the outrageous lies and politically motivated hatreds that undermined his presidency.
We tried statesmanship. Could there be another human being on this earth who so desperately prized “collegiality” as Ronald Reagan?
We tried propriety – has there been a nicer human being ever than Mitt Romney?
And the results were always the same. This is because, while we were playing by the rules of dignity, collegiality and propriety, the Left has been, for the past 60 years, engaged in a knife fight where the only rules are those of Saul Alinsky.
I don’t find anything “dignified,” “collegial” or “proper” about Barack Obama’s lying about what went down on the streets of Ferguson in order to ramp up racial hatreds because racial hatreds serve the Democratic Party. I don’t see anything “dignified” in lying about the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi and imprisoning an innocent filmmaker to cover your tracks. I don’t see anything “statesman-like” in weaponizing the IRS to be used to destroy your political opponents and any dissent. Yes, Obama was “articulate” and “polished” but in no way was he in the least bit “dignified,” “collegial” or “proper.”
The Left has been engaged in a war against America since the rise of the Children of the ‘60s. To them, it has been an all-out war where nothing is held sacred and nothing is seen as beyond the pale. It has been a war they’ve fought with violence, the threat of violence, demagoguery and lies from day one – the violent take-over of the universities – till today. The problem is that, through these years, the Left has been the only side fighting this war. While the Left has been taking a knife to anyone who stands in their way, the Right has continued to act with dignity, collegiality and propriety. With Donald Trump, this all has come to an end. Donald Trump is America ’s first wartime president in the Culture War.
During wartime, things like “dignity” and “collegiality” simply aren’t the most essential qualities one looks for in their warriors. Ulysses Grant was a drunk whose behavior in peacetime might well have seen him drummed out of the Army for conduct unbecoming. Had Abraham Lincoln applied the peacetime rules of propriety and booted Grant, the Democrats might well still be holding their slaves today. Lincoln rightly recognized that, “I cannot spare this man. He fights.”
General George Patton was a vulgar-talking, son-of-a-bitch. In peacetime, this might have seen him stripped of rank. But, had Franklin Roosevelt applied the normal rules of decorum then, Hitler and the Socialists would barely be five decades into their thousand-year Reich.
Trump is fighting. And what’s particularly delicious is that, like Patton standing over the battlefield as his tanks obliterated Rommel’s, he’s shouting, “You magnificent bastards, I read your book!”
That is just the icing on the cake, but it’s wonderful to see that not only is Trump fighting, he’s defeating the Left using their own tactics. That book is Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals – a book so essential to the Liberals’ war against America that it is and was the playbook for the entire Obama administration and the subject of Hillary Clinton’s senior thesis. It is a book of such pure evil, that, just as the rest of us would dedicate our book to those we most love or those to whom we are most indebted, Alinsky dedicated his book to Lucifer.
Trump’s tweets may seem rash and unconsidered but, in reality, he is doing exactly what Alinsky suggested his followers do. First, instead of going after “the fake media” — and they are so fake that they have literally gotten every single significant story of the past 60 years not just wrong, but diametrically opposed to the truth, from the Tet Offensive to Benghazi, to what really happened on the streets of Ferguson, Missouri — Trump isolated CNN. He made it personal.
Then, just as Alinsky suggests, he employs ridicule which Alinsky described as “the most powerful weapon of all.” ... Most importantly, Trump’s tweets have put CNN in an untenable and unwinnable position. ... They need to respond. This leaves them with only two choices. They can either “go high” (as Hillary would disingenuously declare of herself and the fake news would disingenuously report as the truth) and begin to honestly and accurately report the news or they can double-down on their usual tactics and hope to defeat Trump with twice their usual hysteria and demagoguery. The problem for CNN (et al.) with the former is that, if they were to start honestly reporting the news, that would be the end of the Democratic Party they serve.
It is nothing but the incessant use of fake news (read: propaganda) that keeps the Left alive. Imagine, for example, if CNN had honestly and accurately reported then-candidate Barack Obama’s close ties to foreign terrorists (Rashid Khalidi), domestic terrorists (William Ayers), the mafia (Tony Rezko) or the true evils of his spiritual mentor, Jeremiah Wright’s church. Imagine if they had honestly and accurately conveyed the evils of the Obama administration’s weaponizing of the IRS to be used against their political opponents or his running of guns to the Mexican cartels or the truth about the murder of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and the Obama administration’s cover-up. So, to my friends on the Left — and the #NeverTrumpers as well — do I wish we lived in a time when our president could be “collegial” and “dignified” and “proper”? Of course I do. These aren’t those times. This is war. And it’s a war that the Left has been fighting without opposition for the past 50 years. So, say anything you want about this president - I get it - he can be vulgar, he can be crude, he can be undignified at times. I don’t care. I can’t spare this man. He fights for America!

Trump's lack of decorum, dignity, and statesmanship?
My Leftist friends (as well as many ardent #NeverTrumpers) constantly ask me if I’m not bothered by Donald Trump’s lack of decorum. They ask if I don’t think his tweets are “beneath the dignity of the office.”
Here’s my answer:
We right-thinking people have tried dignity. There could not have been a man of more quiet dignity than George W. Bush as he suffered the outrageous lies and politically motivated hatreds that undermined his presidency.
We tried statesmanship. Could there be another human being on this earth who so desperately prized “collegiality” as Ronald Reagan?
We tried propriety – has there been a nicer human being ever than Mitt Romney?
And the results were always the same. This is because, while we were playing by the rules of dignity, collegiality and propriety, the Left has been, for the past 60 years, engaged in a knife fight where the only rules are those of Saul Alinsky.
I don’t find anything “dignified,” “collegial” or “proper” about Barack Obama’s lying about what went down on the streets of Ferguson in order to ramp up racial hatreds because racial hatreds serve the Democratic Party. I don’t see anything “dignified” in lying about the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi and imprisoning an innocent filmmaker to cover your tracks. I don’t see anything “statesman-like” in weaponizing the IRS to be used to destroy your political opponents and any dissent. Yes, Obama was “articulate” and “polished” but in no way was he in the least bit “dignified,” “collegial” or “proper.”

A Different Way Of Looking At Time.
We tend to look at time as being the same absolute independent continuous unending physical entity as being the same for all things and everyone else. But suppose that is not the case. Suppose that time is dependent upon different entities in different locations in space? And suppose it is something dependent only upon life itself? Or to be more precise, suppose it is unique only to those things capable of observation & recording of the past? More over, it is even different for & unique to each different observer.
It can be said with a high degree of certainty that the "future" is not exactly the same for all people or all living things. That should be obvious. For example, the parent of a child has (or had) a past with one future that included the birth of the child, where the child itself develops a past with an entirely different future. From this we might infer that time (and its existence) is unique to each living thing. The Twin Paradox tends to support this idea.
No matter, we may never know the real truth until rocks can actually talk to tell us how they saw their futures & not just record what actually impacted them.

Movie SHAPE OF WATER = STUPID MOVIE.
Unlike the hilarious absurdity of Young Frankenstein when Frankenstein's fiancee exclaimed "Oh, I think I love him" in reference to her intercourse with the monster (which was correctly only implied & not fully displayed), the Shape Of Water takes liberals many steps further toward sanctioning sex with animals (which is inappropriately on full display) . Of course, like so many others, this movie will win an academy award simply for its avante guarde bull shit. It's nothing more than porn dressed up in phony, touchy, feely sensitivity contrasted against alleged & grossly exaggerated white male supremacy, almost qualifying as a hate film.. It is sick & unfit for children to see.

The Third Eye & The Trilogy
The third eye is a spiritual concept associated with enlightenment and direct communication with a higher plane of existence. This may sound a little spooky to those who do not believe in a spiritual world. But for those who do, it may be worth exploring for the purposes of resolving argument regarding the structure of God & whether or not He is actually Three in One.
When it comes to actual sight, we must recognize that we humans have only two eyes separated by a small distance apart for the purpose judging distances between ourselves and other objects. It is up to our brain to resolve the two images we see into one image. If it does not, then we actually see two images of the same object from different perspectives. There are living creatures that do have more than two eyes, & it might be reasoned that, if their brain does not resolve the different images into one, then they will be seeing multiple images of the same thing.
So to say that a person sees three in one is not too far fetched from a purely physical stand point. But what about seeing from a spiritual standpoint? Remembering the disabilities of the cyclops & whether or not they do acknowledge it, people do believe in three in one when they seek consultation from a third party in matters of great concern. Such matters are generally of a "spiritual" nature involving abstract rights or abstract resolutions. So from a spiritual standpoint, the Trilogy is not too far fetched & quite probably a better tool for seeking the truth. And of course, we must always be on guard against those abusing this attitude & claiming to absolutely know the mind of God when it must be only God Himself who knows the multiplicity of all things far beyond the reach of any one puny human mind.

ESPN has completely ruined traditional college foot ball. There are now so many bowl games with teams playing in unrelated areas that it is a complete joke. I'm just waiting for the dirt bowl, the mud bowl the dust bowl, and, oh yes, the toilet bowl to pop up.

 For My Bridge Friends.
For the purposes of protecting the 1C opener, I have made the 1C opening a forcing bid, with a 1D response being a FORCING BUST BID, restricting the opener to go no further than 2C, unless he has 25+ points. An added advantage is that with 1C being a FORCING opening, it allows the opener to open at a lower level than 2C when opener has game in his hand, ie, 25+ points, thereby allowing the 2C opening to be restricted to no more than 24 points. The matrix below describes in full detail the proposed responses to openings in either minor.
But for clarity I offer the following explanation: First, for many years it has been the recommendation of bridge experts to respond to a 1C opening with a 4-card major if responder has 6+ points & despite the length in diamonds. In addition, they recommend the existing alertable non-standard immediate response conventions of Inverted Minor Raises, New Minor Forcing, & New Suit Forcing. Given these two recommmendaions, I have simply adopted the idea that ANY RESPONDER IMMEDIATE BID OF A MINOR AT THE 2-LEVEL WHETHER A SIMPLE RAISE OR SHIFT OR JUMP IS FORCING & PROMISES RESPONDER HAS 10+ HIGH CARD POINTS. THIS MEANS THAT NOT ONLY IS 2C OVER 1C INVERTED DENYING A 4-CARD MAJOR , BUT 2D OVER 1C IS ALSO INVERTED DENYING A 4-CARD MAJOR. IN ADDITION, I HAVE EXTENDED THE IDEA THAT EVEN AFTER RESPONDER HAS BID A MAJOR AT THE 1-LEVEL, HIS 2ND BID OF A MINOR AT THE 2-LEVEL IS ALSO INVERTED & FORCING.
So what does this mean for the weaker responses where opener has 0-9 points? As with inverted minors, responder's bid of a minor at the 3-level shows 7-9 points & is preemptive in nature, even after he has responded in a major at the 1-level.. Now remembering that an immediate response of 2D over 1C is not a weak jump response, what is responder to do with 0 points & a 6+card diamond suit?.The answer is that responder's rebid of 2D or raise to 2C after his 1st bid of 1D over 1C shows a weak completely bust hand forcing the 1C opener to "pass".
The over all net effect of this logic is to keep the bidding lower when the partnership might have game & preempt when it does not, while at the same time protecting the 1C opener from being left in a lousy 1C contract. The worst that can happen is that they wind up in a 2C or 2D contract, BUT AT LEAST WITH A VIABLE MINOR SUIT.
With respect to the 1D opening, I recommend promising a 5-card diamond suit which makes it easier for responder to "pass" with a bust hand. But my matirx does allow for short diamond opening lengths, including as low as 3-cards in diamonds. It just needs to be remembered that if responder does bid the opener's minor suit, then he batter have "REASONABLE SUPPORT", meaning enough support to yield a total of at least 7 cards (preferably 8+ cards) in the minor, where 9+cards is enough to justify a 3-level contract. |

It just needs to be remembered that if responder does bid the opener's minor suit, then he batter have "REASONABLE SUPPORT", meaning enough support to yield a total of at least 7 cards (preferably 8+ cards) in the minor, where 9+cards is enough to justify a 3-level contract.

We Must Not Always Believe Movies Alleged To Be Based On Fact. Case in point, two GREAT MOVIES BACK TO BACK: THE DARKEST HOUR & THE GREATEST SHOWMAN.
Both were excellent & highly recommended.
The Darkest Hour, based upon Churchill in WW II, suggests that King George was the real guts behind the decision to fight Hitler to the end. It is an interesting point, but whether fact or fiction remains to be seen. (It would be cool if true, given King George's speech difficulties)
The Greatest Showman was a beautifully choreographed
musical, based upon the life of P. T. Barnum. HOWEVER, there are some disturbing misrepresentations of historical fact in the movie. IN PARTICULAR THE PORTRAYAL OF JENNY LIND AS BEING A MALICIOUS, IMMORAL, ARROGANT SINGER IS AS FAR FROM THE TRUTH AS ONE CAN GET. IN FACT, SHE WAS A BEAUTIFUL PERSON WHO WAS HIGHLY CHARITABLE & MORAL. LIKE THE PLAY, CORPUS CHRISTIE, THE MOVIE IS A SLANDEROUS LIE. That such portrayals are allowed to be presented to children who have no knowledge of actual history & without disclosure of the fiction in the story line is a disgrace, being nothing more than pure crap propaganda. I would not recommend against seeing the movie, because the theatrical qualities are rich. However I would warn against the misrepresentation of actual history as being entirely fiction.

The Heisenberg uncertainty principle says that the location of an electron in space (and hence its existence or non-existence) can never be found, measured, or determined with any degree of absolute certainty. I would extend this same premise to include the existence or non-existence of God.
When it comes to God, we can never make any statements with absolute certainty. As in science, we can only infer based upon circumstantial evidence. Now that may sound really wishy washy to those who require certainty in their lives, but the fact is that such a position is more likely to be closer to the truth that those positions that claim to know the truth with absolute certainty. I find it astonishing that there are those now famous scientists who claim that God for sure does not exist.
But how about the other side of the coin? How about those who claim with certainty that God does in fact exist? To those, I can only say that I look at the evidence of history, and in particular the life & presumed death of Jesus Christ. In my view, THERE IS PLENTY OF PHYSICAL & EYE WITNESS EVIDENCE TO SUGGEST THAT HE DID INDEED RISE FROM THE DEAD. AND IF THAT IS SO, THEN IT IS HE ALONE WHO IS INDEED GOD. We may see Him as being comprised of 3 parts,ie, the Trilogy, but He is still the ONE AND ONLY.
And so I do celebrate Christmas and Easter, as sometimes rote, painful and mundane as it might seem at times. . And I do abide by the teaching of the Bible. I encourage my children to do likewise. I just find it very sad that the refusal to teach children the "Good News" is so bigoted, selfish, and narrow minded. Atheists invariably wind up in dead ends to their arguments. And then there are those other so-called theists who do not acknowledge Christ as God. They too are bigoted, selfish, and narrow minded, but with the added insult of wanting to dictate to others with their so-called "scholarly" backgrounds. Their evidence is entirely imaginary. There is no need for further explanation.

Does The Quality Of "Intention" Prove The Existence Of God?
Might it not be that the only proof we need of the existence
of God is the fact of the existence of life itself?
But we must ask ourselves "What exactly is life?".
If we assume that life is like a flame that passes from
one thing to another, then we can say that life is a
process of interaction, a very scientific explanation indeed.
In other words, it is like a fire that spreads from one bush
to another. But does this analogy really completely represent
the fact of the existence of life? Or is there something more?
And if so, what is that something more?
Can anyone deny that one of the qualities of a living thing
is the "intention" to survive? I would suspect the answer to
be "no". One might argue that the "intention" (or "will") to survive is nothing
more than a learned memory reaction on how to reconstruct one's self
in the face destructive circumstances. But on a larger scale I would
submit there is more to intention than just a simple reaction to adversity.
And certainly our collective memory must not be ignored in submission to a single narrow minded memory. Based upon our collective memory,
I would submit that "intention" is a super natural quality, ie, something
related to the "spirit", that makes living things more than just a mere "process". "Intention" implies a knowledge of a coming future that has
not happened yet, ie, an "anticipation". It implies a plan
for dealing with the future. And as soon as we recognize
"intention" beyond individual survival as a characteristic of living things,
then we must give credibility to the idea of an entity uniquely identified
as a "who" that makes a living thing distinct from other non- living
things.
From this point, we can go on to argue that there are living
things with "good" intentions as opposed to living things
with "bad" intentions. It should not be too difficult
to continue the reasoning from here to arrive at the
conclusion that God does exist, as opposed to a Satan.
Of course the day may come when science may unraval the
mystery of the creation of life from inanimate objects.
But it hasn't happened yet. And if it does, we will still
be faced the mystery of "intention".
P/S
Is it not a curious contradiction that life both creates & feeds off of life?
It would almost seem like cannibalism.
We might ask "What is the intention of such a creator?".
At first, there seem to be 2 possibilities;
1. There are things going on that we cannot see.
Might not evolution be extended to include an after-life development?
2. A part of the original creation developed it's own intent in
contradiction of the creator. We might speculate that the original creator was smart enough to build in some self-destruct capabilities in case His creation went awry. But then His creation developed its own intents separate from the creator's intents. (This seems to be the most viable argument at the time)
Finally of course there is always the argument that there was no original creator or creation in the first place, which amounts to no answer at all.

Definition Of "Molestation".
To annoy, disturb, or persecute especially with hostile intent or injurious effect. For there to be any crime of molestation, there must be proof of intent to do harm in the absence of there being any actual harm. However, invasion of another person's space for whatever reason might be considered a civil offense for which there is no reasonable recourse. And unfortunately there are those who would feign great harm at the hands of another simply because they seek some reward other than justice.

"I was born this way" = a profound truth or just an excuse to avoid taking responsibility for one's own conduct & behavior? Shall I say "I was born with anger, & you must accept it or else"?

THE GAMES PEOPLE PLAY HAVE A BROADER IMPACT UPON SOCIETY.
Let's put it this way. If your spouse cheats on you & lies to you, then you should divorce them immediately, BECAUSE THEY ARE LEADING A DOUBLE LIFE WHICH IS EVEN MORE UNACCEPTABLE ON THE PART OF THOSE IN PUBLIC OFFICE. Do not endorse the bad behavior by engaging in it yourself. And if they are found to be guilty of forcing themselves upon others beyond innocent frivolity, then that is a crime.
Unfortunately, this same reasoning of "2 wrongs do not make it right" cannot be reasonably extended to cases where innocent human life has been deliberately taken or in instances of war. There are times when brutality must be met with brutality for the purposes of defending one's loved ones &/or nation, lest further unjustified deaths or unjust/unfair/unnecessary & severe sufferings beyond normal life will most certainly occur based upon historical evidence relevant to the conditions immediately at hand. To ignore & be negligently dismissive of wrong doing including the evidence of history is to be as wrong as the wrong doer himself.
The pastor, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, understood this paradox when he joined in the effort to assassinate Hitler, but only after Hitler had historically proved himself to be evil & excessively abusive of humanity beyond Bonhoeffer himself. "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends". And i emphasize the word "friends" as opposed to "enemies". Would you betray your entire nation "of friends" on behalf of unknown, law breaking , & potentially violent foreigners with historically questionable ideologies? Quite obviously today, there are politicians who would do precisely that, ie, sell this country down the toilet.

Bush was always an open borders advocate and more condemning of others than Reagan, typical of liberals today.. Reagan was not the hawk that Bush was on the subject.

IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE ENGAGING IN BAD MOUTHING PEOPLE, YOU BETTER BE ABLE TO ACCEPT SOME BLOW BACK.
Nevertheless G. H. Bush is to be respected (not worshiped) for his service during WWII. So let the old Bush and his dynasty fad away, much as MacArthur did. At least MacArthur had the decency to shut the hell up after being rejected by the people, unlike the whiny babies of today.

If your parents do not believe in a forgiving, loving, kind, gentle & just God, then what is your justification for honoring them, since they obviously brought you into this world out of purely selfish reasons without considering your ultimate environmental destination? Under such circumstances, it is virtually impossible to ever know peace.

Listening to NBC news report on this (like everything else) is REALLY PATHETIC!
They acknowledge that President Trump is addressing this problem, BUT THEY COMPLAIN THAT IT IS NOT ENOUGH. The question to them is "JUST WHO IN THE HELL WAS IN POWER WHENTHIS EPIDEMIC EXPLODED AND JUST WHAT IN THE HELL DID THEY EVER DO ABOUT IT?". ANSWER - NOT ONE G/D THING!
NBC's hatred of Donald Trump is beyond the pale.

Mark 8:36 "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?"
By the same token, what does it profit a nation to gain the whole world and lose its soul.? Should we be sacrificing the soul of our nation to ALLEGED GOODNESS? Jesus Christ also said "Why do you call me 'good'", indicating that he had limits as to what he tolerated.
When the government of a nation turns its back on its citizens in favor of alleged moral righteousness on behalf of unknown foreigners whose morals are questionable, it has lost its soul. Kindness to foreigners while belittling and prejudging those innocents at home IS NOT RIGHTEOUSNESS. IT IS BETRAYAL & TREASON. When someone slanders you with name calling, with words like "Islamaphobe", "homophobe", "xenophobe", "bigot", "hate monger", "fear monger","racist", THEN THEY ARE NOT RIGHTEOUS. They are only trying to advance their own selfish agenda by belittling you, just as the Pharisees condemned Christ. They are as "mean spirited" & prejudging & narrow minded as the worst of them. There is an old saying which this generation has forgotten: "IF YOU DON'T HAVE SOMETHING GOOD TO SAY ABOUT SOMEBODY, THEN DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL", that is unless you have actual proof of them being fully involved in the unjust treatment of another human being.

24 Years of THREE OF THE WORST PRESIDENTS EVER (surpassing Jimmy Carter) who have ruined this country. Nothing but lying, betrayal & condescending rhetoric. Bill Clinton - "I did not have sex with that woman". G W Bush - "Minutemen are nothing but a bunch of lawless vigilantes" . Barack Obama - "Guns & bibles". They have sold this country down the tube to the likes of La Raza, Russian Uranium deals, Illegal migrants, NAFTA, TARP, etc. And they continue to arrogantly slander & defame the American citizen with their phony self righteous indignation speaking against "nationalism" as if it were some great moral sin. Apparently they all thought they were president of the world & forgot that their 1st responsibility was to the American people & this nation to which they falsely claim allegiance.
"No man can serve two masters, for he will love one & hate the other. You cannot serve God & mammon." - Jesus Christ
So either you serve your country forsaking all others or you serve the world. But you cannot serve both.

IS THAT A DISMISSIVE STATEMENT OF FACT? ABSOLUTELY NOT. IT IS A STATEMENT THAT EMPHASIZES COURAGE AND SUPPORTS THE NOTION THAT THE RIGHTEOUS FALLEN ARE DESERVING OF HONOR. But oh no, the lying liberal left wants to mis-parse words and immerse us into more political dissent and unfounded hateful contempt for Trump when supporting the outright treason of their own. Nothing but more BULL SHIT to cover up their own sins.

Trump's only comments reflect only benign statements indicating a slight disagreement on national policy.

THE INEXPLICABLE
There may be times in our lives where we are overcome by anxieties, causing us to be unable to cope. Why, we may not know, and the answer to which we may think is in a pill. Jesus observed this condition saying, "He who would save his life will lose it & he who would lose his life will save it". Perhaps the real pill is to give to others when you are fretting over your own condition. But what about when others are depending on you? Then what? Do we just say forget it all no matter what? What if others will suffer by your inability to cope? And does the same premise apply to an entire nation? The answer is most illusive and may just be that what is an answer for one is not necessarily an answer for all. No matter, perceiving others as being anxious or assuming they are anxious & condemning them for their alleged anxieties is the height of arrogant selfishness.

Die Hard Conspiracy Theorists Are Costing The Tax Payer Plenty.
The Wasted Trump Investigation
It is one thing to have reasonable suspicions & investigate possibilities. BUT IT IS QUITE ANOTHER THING TO BELABOR AN ISSUE WHEN THERE IS NO EVIDENCE TO SUBSTANTIATE THE THEORY. Yet that is exactly what is happening with the special council investigation of Trump. This man has been investigated up the yin-yang ever since he announced his run for presidency. The Washington Post put 25+ investigators on his case before he became president, trying to dig up what ever they could. The DNC for sure had massive numbers of investigators doing the same. And apparently, the Obama administration had the country's intelligence investigating Trump as well. YET NO BODY HAS COME UP WITH ANYTHING EVEN CLOSE TO THE HIGHLY QUESTIONABLE BEHAVIOR OF THE LIBERAL LEFT, INCLUDING HILLARY CLINTON WITH HER SALE OF URANIUM LANDS TO THE RUSSIANS WHEN SHE WAS SECRETARY OF STATE.
The fact is that Trump IS THE MOST TRANSPARENT PRESIDENT THIS COUNTRY HAS SEEN IN YEARS. VIA TWITTER, YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HE IS THINKING EVERY DAY. IT IS A MOST REFRESHING CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS. Meanwhile, the clandestine special council investigation continues wasting tax payer money & will do so until Trump is up for reelection, at which time it will come out with it's TRUMPED UP CHARGES, all for cheap political gain.

GLOBAL WARMING - An "Inconvenient" Truth or a CONVENIENT HALF TRUTH for political gain.
Al Gore, the self proclaimed inventor of the internet, has us all up in arms over whether or not we are going to be burning in hell from raised kindling temperatures or drowning to death from massive sea level rises due to polar cap ice melting. Well, the last fear has been proven false by the fact that the north polar ice cap has increased in size by 40%+ over the last 5 years. But that does not quell the fears of burning in hell.
It is well established that large quantities of particle clouds in the atmosphere block the sun and cause a cooling effect. Scientists concede that the dinosaurs went extinct because of the Ice Age caused by particles strewn into the atmosphere by an asteroid hit. When Krakatoa erupted in the late 19th century, a large global cooling was noted. Fires, like the huge Yellowstone fire in the late 20th century threw large amounts of particles into the atmosphere. And today, which should have been hotter, was cooled by the smoke particles from a local fire. So much for the fears of burning in hell.
Now if Mr Gore wants to argue the case against air pollution by coal, I will not disagree with him. In the 1970's, a coal powered electric plant in Laughlin, Nev, produced so much filth and soot in the air that you could not even see the other side of the Grand Canyon. Since Edison shut down that plant, the Canyon has returned to its former glory. But apparently Mr Gore does not have the guts to say "CLEAN UP YOUR ACT". No, he has to complicate the matter with his phony science.

Christians believe in the "Holy Spirit". Jesus said "Who so ever speaks against the Holy Spirit, he shall not be forgiven". And He did condemn what was "taught" (said) to children contrary to His teachings. But who or what is the Holy Spirit?
One opinion is that the Holy Spirit is the breath of God expressed through human song & speech. So any restrictions on freedom of speech can cause collateral damage on & be suppressive of the Holy Spirit. And so through the same pipeline can come the most beautiful and the most ugly.
That being the case, it appears that we Christians are admonished to t suffer the expression of offensive speech. But deeds speak much louder than words, and offensive deeds, especially those that impact our loved ones, friends, neighbors and countrymen, we must not tolerate.

More recent documentaries in physics have described how the mass of the Higgs Boson is important in determining whether we live in a symmetrical "universe" or an unsymmetrical "multiverse".
Perhaps the question really boils down to a symmetrical "universe" of scarcity as opposed to a "dual-verse" of abundance? Sounds like the old heaven and hell theory. The more you break things up, the greater the appearance of abundance. The more you consolidate things, the greater the appearance of scarcity,

Comparing Responses To 1C Openings To Responses To 2C Openings.
(For My Bridge Friends)
Recently, I came out with my system of responses to a strong opening of 2C, wherein the stronger the responder's hand, the cheaper his 1st bid with 2D being a better hand than a higher level bid in another suit. .
Now, I am coming out with my system of responses to a normal opening of 1C, wherein a 1D bid could show responder with a complete bust hand of 0 points.
So why is there not symmetry (consistency) between the two.
The answer is simple and logical. The 1C opening is dealing with a SCARCITY of points, where the 2C opening is dealing with an ABUNDANCE of points.
MINOR SUIT OPENINGS, RESPONSES, & OPENER 2ND BIDS
***************************************************************
1. PRELIMINARY NOTES, DEFINITIONS, EXPLANATIONS, & NOTATIONS:
a. OLD PRINCIPLES STILL IN USE.
1] A "FORWARD BID" IS OPENER'S 2ND BID THAT GOES TO THE NEXT BID
LEVEL EITHER REBIDDING HIS ORIGINAL OPENING SUIT OR A SUIT OF
LOWER RANK. IT IS MORE A "DOWNSHIFT" THAN AN "UPSHIFT".
IT IMPLIES A 13-15 POINT HOLDING.
2] A "REVERSE BID" IS OPENER'S 2ND BID THAT GOES TO THE NEXT LEVEL
(PASSING UP NO TRUMP) & SHOWS A NEW HIGHER RANKING SUIT THAN THE
OPENER'S 1ST BID SUIT. IT IS AN "UPSHIFT". IT IMPLIES 16-18 POINTS,
EXCEPT WHEN RESPONDER HAS GIVEN A FORCING BID ALREADY AT THE NEXT
BID LEVEL.
3] HOLDING 5+ & 5+ IN TWO SUITS, ALWAYS OPEN IN THE HIGHER RANKING SUIT,
EVEN IF THE LOWER RANKING SUIT IS LONGER.
4] IF RESPONDING TO A MINOR SUIT OPENING AT THE 1-LEVEL, THE RESPONDER,
HAVING 6+ POINTS AND A 4-CARD MAJOR MUST ALWAYS BID HIS MAJOR
AT THE 1-LEVEL.
5] THE "INVERTED MINOR RAISE" OPTION IS AN IMMEDIATE SIMPLE OR JUMP
RAISE OF A MINOR SUIT OPENING. THIS REVERSES THE STANDARD POINT
COUNT RANGES BETWEEN THE SIMPLE RAISE AND JUMP RAISE. THE SIMPLE
RAISE BECOMES A "FORCING" BID.
6] IF OPENER HAS ONLY 13-15 POINTS WITHOUT A SINGLETON OR VOID,
THEN HE SHOULD NOT BID A NEW SUIT AT THE NEXT LEVEL UP.
b. NEW PRINCIPLES.
1] AFTER A 1C OPENING, RESPONDER WITH 0 POINTS CAN:
a] "PASS" IF HE HAS 5+ CLUBS.
b] GIVE A WEAK JUMP SHIFT IN A SUIT IN WHICH HAS 6+ CARDS.
c] BID 2D AS A WEAK JUMP SHIFT PROVIDED HE HAS 5 DIAMONDS &
NO 3-CARD MAJOR.
d] BID 1D FORCING IN THE ABSENCE OF THE PREVIOUS OPTIONS.
2] AFTER A 1C OPENING AND A 1D RESPONSE, OPENER MUST EXERCISE EXTREME
CAUTION IN HIS BIDDING. WITH 13-18 POINTS AND NO 5-CARD CLUB SUIT,
HE MUST NOT BID ABOVE 1N. BUT WITH 16-18 POINTS & A 5-CARD CLUB SUIT,
HE CAN BID 2C. WITH 13-18 points & A 6+ CARD SUIT, OPENER CAN BID 2C.
3] A 1D OPENING BID SHOULD SHOW A 5+ CARD SUIT.
4] AFTER A 1D OPENING, A BERGEN-LIKE 3C RESPONSE CAN SHOW 4-CARD
SUPPORT WITH 6-9 POINTS. A 2D RESPONSE IS STILL INVERTED & FORCING.
A 3D RESPONSE IS WEAK & PREMPTIVE AS IN BERGAN RESPONSES TO A
MAJOR SUIT OPENING.
c. NEW: 1C CLUB OPENING & RESPONSES.
THIS SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO PROTECT THE 1C OPENER FROM BEING "PASSED"
OUT WHEN RESPONDER HAS 0 POINTS.
------UP THE LINE RESPONSES -------------------------------------------------
1] WITH 6+ HCP & A 4-CARD MAJOR,
RESPONDER SHOULD BID HIS 4-CARD MAJOR AT THE 1-LEVEL,
EVEN IF HE HAS A 9-CARD MINOR SUIT.
[a OPENER WILL EITHER SIMPLE RAISE OR JUMP RAISE IF HE HAS 4 IN THE
SAME MAJOR. OTHERWISE, OVER A 1H RESPONSE HE WILL BID SOMETHING ELSE
AT THE 1-LEVEL OR 2-LEVEL DEPENDING ON HIS POINT RANGE.
[1 RESPONDER MAY THE CHOOSE TO BID AN EXCEEDINGLY LONG MINOR SUIT
OR STICK WITH THE SEEMINGLY AGREED UPON 4-4 MAJOR SUIT FIT,
DEPENDING UPON OPENER'S 2ND BID.
-----IMMEDIATE 1N RESPONSES --------------------------------------------------
2] WITH NO 5+ CARD CLUB SUIT, & NO 5+ CARD DIAMOND SUIT, & NO 4-CARD MAJOR,
(IE, 4/4/3/2, 4/3/3/3, 3/4/3/3)
RESPONDER SHOULD BID NO TRUMP AT THE LEVEL APPROPRIATE TO HIS POINT RANGE.
a] WITH 6-9 POINTS, 1N.
b] WITH 10-12 POINTS, 2N.
c] WITH 13-15 POINTS, 3N.

RESPONDER SHOULD BID 1N.
* [b WITH A 6-CARD CLUB SUIT (6+/4/3/0, 6+/4/2/1, 6+/3/3/1, 6+/3/2/2),

(For My Bridge Friends)
Recently, I came out with my system of responses to a strong opening of 2C, wherein the stronger the responder's hand, the cheaper his 1st bid with 2D being a better hand than a higher level bid in another suit. .
Now, I am coming out with my system of responses to a normal opening of 1C, wherein a 1D bid could show responder with a complete bust hand of 0 points.
So why is there not symmetry (consistency) between the two.
The answer is simple and logical. The 1C opening is dealing with a SCARCITY of points, where the 2C opening is dealing with an ABUNDANCE of points.
MINOR SUIT OPENINGS, RESPONSES, & OPENER 2ND BIDS
***************************************************************
1. PRELIMINARY NOTES, DEFINITIONS, EXPLANATIONS, & NOTATIONS:
a. OLD PRINCIPLES STILL IN USE.
1] A "FORWARD BID" IS OPENER'S 2ND BID THAT GOES TO THE NEXT BID
LEVEL EITHER REBIDDING HIS ORIGINAL OPENING SUIT OR A SUIT OF
LOWER RANK. IT IS MORE A "DOWNSHIFT" THAN AN "UPSHIFT".
IT IMPLIES A 13-15 POINT HOLDING.
2] A "REVERSE BID" IS OPENER'S 2ND BID THAT GOES TO THE NEXT LEVEL
(PASSING UP NO TRUMP) & SHOWS A NEW HIGHER RANKING SUIT THAN THE
OPENER'S 1ST BID SUIT. IT IS AN "UPSHIFT". IT IMPLIES 16-18 POINTS,
EXCEPT WHEN RESPONDER HAS GIVEN A FORCING BID ALREADY AT THE NEXT
BID LEVEL.
3] HOLDING 5+ & 5+ IN TWO SUITS, ALWAYS OPEN IN THE HIGHER RANKING SUIT,
EVEN IF THE LOWER RANKING SUIT IS LONGER.
4] IF RESPONDING TO A MINOR SUIT OPENING AT THE 1-LEVEL, THE RESPONDER,
HAVING 6+ POINTS AND A 4-CARD MAJOR MUST ALWAYS BID HIS MAJOR
AT THE 1-LEVEL.
5] THE "INVERTED MINOR RAISE" OPTION IS AN IMMEDIATE SIMPLE OR JUMP
RAISE OF A MINOR SUIT OPENING. THIS REVERSES THE STANDARD POINT
COUNT RANGES BETWEEN THE SIMPLE RAISE AND JUMP RAISE. THE SIMPLE
RAISE BECOMES A "FORCING" BID.
6] IF OPENER HAS ONLY 13-15 POINTS WITHOUT A SINGLETON OR VOID,
THEN HE SHOULD NOT BID A NEW SUIT AT THE NEXT LEVEL UP.
b. NEW PRINCIPLES.
1] AFTER A 1C OPENING, RESPONDER WITH 0 POINTS CAN:
a] "PASS" IF HE HAS 5+ CLUBS.
b] GIVE A WEAK JUMP SHIFT IN A SUIT IN WHICH HAS 6+ CARDS.
c] BID 2D AS A WEAK JUMP SHIFT PROVIDED HE HAS 5 DIAMONDS &
NO 3-CARD MAJOR.
d] BID 1D FORCING IN THE ABSENCE OF THE PREVIOUS OPTIONS.
2] AFTER A 1C OPENING AND A 1D RESPONSE, OPENER MUST EXERCISE EXTREME
CAUTION IN HIS BIDDING. WITH 13-18 POINTS AND NO 5-CARD CLUB SUIT,
HE MUST NOT BID ABOVE 1N. BUT WITH 16-18 POINTS & A 5-CARD CLUB SUIT,
HE CAN BID 2C. WITH 13-18 points & A 6+ CARD SUIT, OPENER CAN BID 2C.
3] A 1D OPENING BID SHOULD SHOW A 5+ CARD SUIT.
4] AFTER A 1D OPENING, A BERGEN-LIKE 3C RESPONSE CAN SHOW 4-CARD
SUPPORT WITH 6-9 POINTS. A 2D RESPONSE IS STILL INVERTED & FORCING.
A 3D RESPONSE IS WEAK & PREMPTIVE AS IN BERGAN RESPONSES TO A
MAJOR SUIT OPENING.
c. NEW: 1C CLUB OPENING & RESPONSES.
THIS SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO PROTECT THE 1C OPENER FROM BEING "PASSED"
OUT WHEN RESPONDER HAS 0 POINTS.
------UP THE LINE RESPONSES -------------------------------------------------
1] WITH 6+ HCP & A 4-CARD MAJOR,
RESPONDER SHOULD BID HIS 4-CARD MAJOR AT THE 1-LEVEL,

SAME MAJOR. OTHERWISE, OVER A 1H RESPONSE HE WILL BID SOMETHING ELSE
AT THE 1-LEVEL OR 2-LEVEL DEPENDING ON HIS POINT RANGE.

OR STICK WITH THE SEEMINGLY AGREED UPON 4-4 MAJOR SUIT FIT,

JUST INCREDIBLE. NOW PROTESTING IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN PEOPLES LIVES. COMPLETE ASSHOLES. "Oh", but they say, "Our 1st priority is saving lives". NO IT IS NOT. THEIR 1ST PRIORITY IS THEMSELVES AND WANTING TO BE RECOGNIZED, RATHER THAN TAKE 1 SINGLE MINUTE TO RESPECT THE LIVES OF INNOCENT FALLEN. SELF-SERVING UNRESPECTFUL JUVENILE JERKS. WHETHER OR NOT YOU HAD A CHILD TAKEN FROM YOU BY VIOLENCE, THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR NOT RECOGNIZING OTHERS WHO HAVE FALLEN SIMILARLY.
They are probably gun control freaks who do not advocate capital punishment. YOU CAN NOT HAVE GUN CONTROL UNLESS YOU 1ST PROTECT SOCIETY BY INVOKING CAPITAL PUNISHMENT FOR WELL PROVEN MURDERERS. JAILS ARE BROKEN OUT OF ALL THE TIME. SENTENCES ARE COMMUTED ALL THE TIME. SHORTEN PAROLES ARE GRANTED ALL THE TIME. THERE ARE NO "GAURRANTEES" OF LIFE SENTENCES BEING CARRIED OUT. TAXES ARE INCREASED IN BUILDING "MORE RELIABLE" FACILITIES. AND YOU WANT TO TAKE AWAY SOCIETY'S LAST LINE OF DEFENSE? WHERE ARE YOUR DAMN BRAINS? PROBABLY IN YOUR GONADS? THOSE WHO REALLY "LOVE" UNDERSTAND THIS SIMPLE PREMISE OF SOCIETAL PROTECTION. IT IS IN THE BIBLE. BUT BLEEDING HEART ATHEIST & ISLAMICS DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THAT.

Having Just Seen The Epilog of The Vietnam War.
Perhaps the real reason for war is to instill such a deep & profound sense of guilt in the warring parties that they ultimately come together to make amends. Witness how Civil War vets from opposing sides ultimately embraced each other. Witness how we regard Britain today. Witness how we have made amends with Vietnam. But then who really knows how to explain it all given the insanity of those would blow themselves up just to make a point?

PRAY FOR FOG - LOTS OF IT.
H.B. AIRSHOW a complete farce.
1. Costing city a lot of money.
2. Costing residence a lot of ear drums & houses shattered.
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?
These planes might as well be flying through our living rooms for 5 uninterrupted days. If they were flying a few feet lower, they would be singeing the tops of our trees. Don't plan on getting any sleep if you work the midnight shift. So why are they doing this when there is a whole ocean out there to fly over. But oh no, they have to fly LOUD & LOW right over our homes where you could almost touch them. It's like they want you to know they are there,a bunch of juvenile nonsense.
With such noise (be it continuous or sporadic) property values diminish.
The city of Inglewood was a beautiful city until the jets came into LAX.
The city of Newport Beach had a major "Ban the Jets" controversy that
resulted in flights in & out of John Wayne to follow strict flight patterns to abate the noise level. So now the city of Huntington Beach sees fit to put a giant blow torch right over H.B. homes. It's not enough to be in a home where you almost have to sleep standing up. It's not enough to be crowded into a $3000+ per month unit the size of a jail cell. I's not enough to have High Density Housing where you probably can hear your neighbor snoring or taking a leak in the middle of the night. Now you get to have your brains rattled once a year & your ear drums busted. I don't know which I dislike more, the damn protesters or the damn jets. Go figure.

The CAINE MUTINY & KENT STATE UNIVERSITY
A LESSON IN MORAL CONSCIENCE
Do you really have a "conscience" or are you just showing off & contributing to moral depravity?
Perhaps one answer can be found Herman Wouk's novel, The Caine Mutiny. In that book, the crew of a US naval vessel took over the running of the ship from the captain after a series of events proved the captain to be unfit for command. Two of the senior officers were subsequently court martialed and represented by their defense counsel who was able to get them off, but only by completely destroying the captain who had honorably served in prior combat. In the crew's celebration party after the trial, the defense counsel came in late completely drunk with a guilt conscience about destroying the captain's reputation. He then told the crew that they were completely wrong, BECAUSE THE CAPTAIN HAD ASKED FOR THEIR HELP IN TRYING TO BRING THEM TOGETHER WELL BEFORE THE MUTINY. And therein rests a test for identifying the true, just & morally correct conscience.
Now then, what exactly happened at Kent State University in 1970 during a series of student protests against the Vietnam War? Don't misunderstand. This is not to justify the killing of otherwise innocent students at Kent State during the student protests. But it is aimed at those who claim to be on the moral high ground in orchestrating those protests & absolved from all responsibility for creating the conditions that led to that dreadful day. The fact is, 2 days prior to the shootings there had been a group of protesters who burned down the school's ROTC building and prevented firemen from putting out the fire. It was clearly an attack of violence. So an environment of extreme hostility had already been created. Did any of those who orchestrated and participated in the protests that occur 2 days later ever try to help turn in the arsonists? Did they respond to any pleas for help in the days that followed the fire? Did they withdraw from the protests when ordered by the National Guard to disassemble? NO! A rational & morally correct mind would see that it was not the appropriate time to stage acts of defiance & would only escalate the violence. One does not stop a war by starting a war. One does not stop violence by starting violence.
So where is the alleged moral conscience of protesters when they create the very circumstances that lead to violence? I would suggest that they have no real moral conscience, just as the defense counsel of the Caine's crew discredited his clients alleged moral conscience. In the novel, the crew finally came to recognize their guilt. Unfortunately that is not really happening in the real life of today.

Interesting From The 1980's
This was first published in '84 but is still relevant all these years later.
CHARLIE REESE'S FINAL COLUMN A GREAT READ!!!!!
A very interesting column. COMPLETELY NEUTRAL
Be sure to Read the Poem at the end.
Charley Reese's final column for the Orlando Sentinel...
He has been a journalist for 49 years.
He is retiring and this is HIS LAST COLUMN.
Be sure to read the Tax List at the end.
This is about as clear and easy to understand as it can be. The article below is completely neutral, neither anti-republican nor democrat. Charlie Reese, a retired reporter for the Orlando Sentinel, has hit the nail directly on the head, defining clearly who it is that in the final analysis must assume responsibility for the judgments made that impact each one of us every day.
It's a relatively short but good read. Worth the time. Worth remembering!
545 vs. 300,000,000 People- by Charlie Reese
Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them. Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?
Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?
You and I don't propose a federal budget. The President does.
You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations.
The House of Representatives does.
You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.
You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.
You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.
One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one President, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.
I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.
I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a President to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash.
The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.
Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.
What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits. The President can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.
The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes.
Who is the speaker of the House now? He is the leader of the majority party. He and fellow House members, not the President, can approve any budget they want. If the President vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.
It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.
If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.
If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red.
If the Army & Marines are in Iraq and Afghanistan it's because they want them in Iraq and Afghanistan ... If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way.
There are no insoluble government problems.
Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power.
Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.
Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible.
They, and they alone, have the power. They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses, provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees...
We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!
What you do with this article now that you have read it... is up to you. This might be funny if it weren't so true. Be sure to read all the way to the end:
Tax his land,
Tax his bed,
Tax the table, at which he's fed.
Tax his tractor,
Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes are the rule.
Tax his work,
Tax his pay, he works for peanuts anyway!
Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.
Tax his ties,
Tax his shirt,
Tax his work,
Tax his dirt.
Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he tries to think.
Tax his cigars,
Tax his beers,
If he cries tax his tears.
Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways to tax his ass.
Tax all he has, then let him know that you won't be done till he has no dough.
When he screams and hollers; then tax him some more, tax him till he's good and sore.
Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod into which he's laid...
Put these words upon his tomb,
"Taxes drove me to my doom..."
When he's gone, do not relax,

This was first published in '84 but is still relevant all these years later.
CHARLIE REESE'S FINAL COLUMN A GREAT READ!!!!!
A very interesting column. COMPLETELY NEUTRAL
Be sure to Read the Poem at the end.
Charley Reese's final column for the Orlando Sentinel...
He has been a journalist for 49 years.
He is retiring and this is HIS LAST COLUMN.
Be sure to read the Tax List at the end.
This is about as clear and easy to understand as it can be. The article below is completely neutral, neither anti-republican nor democrat. Charlie Reese, a retired reporter for the Orlando Sentinel, has hit the nail directly on the head, defining clearly who it is that in the final analysis must assume responsibility for the judgments made that impact each one of us every day.
It's a relatively short but good read. Worth the time. Worth remembering!
545 vs. 300,000,000 People- by Charlie Reese
Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them. Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?
Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?
You and I don't propose a federal budget. The President does.
You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations.
The House of Representatives does.
You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.
You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.
You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.
One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one President, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.
I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.
I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a President to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash.
The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.
Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.
What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits. The President can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.
The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes.
Who is the speaker of the House now? He is the leader of the majority party. He and fellow House members, not the President, can approve any budget they want. If the President vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.
It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.
If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.
If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red.
If the Army & Marines are in Iraq and Afghanistan it's because they want them in Iraq and Afghanistan ... If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way.
There are no insoluble government problems.
Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power.
Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.
Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible.
They, and they alone, have the power. They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses, provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees...
We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!
What you do with this article now that you have read it... is up to you. This might be funny if it weren't so true. Be sure to read all the way to the end:
Tax his land,
Tax his bed,
Tax the table, at which he's fed.
Tax his tractor,
Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes are the rule.
Tax his work,
Tax his pay, he works for peanuts anyway!
Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.
Tax his ties,
Tax his shirt,
Tax his work,
Tax his dirt.
Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he tries to think.
Tax his cigars,
Tax his beers,
If he cries tax his tears.
Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways to tax his ass.
Tax all he has, then let him know that you won't be done till he has no dough.
When he screams and hollers; then tax him some more, tax him till he's good and sore.
Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod into which he's laid...
Put these words upon his tomb,
"Taxes drove me to my doom..."
When he's gone, do not relax,
it’s time to apply, the Inheritance tax.

AN OPEN LETTER FROM A MARINE
=============================
Open Letter to the NFL & ESPN
“You Just Shat Where You ‘ET”
In the Fleet Marine Corps one of the first things they teach newbie’s before going on field ops is: “Don’t shit where you eat.” Just common sense? Not in the NFL.
That is my current take on ESPN, the NBA, and the NFL in particular, you just shat where you ‘et.
And, please don’t tell me about your first amendment right to protest at where you work. Instead, tell that to the Google employee who was fired for speaking up at work.
Which is exactly what has happened in the NFL – and I am not talking about the protesters sitting out the national anthem. I am referring to the NFL prohibition against pro-police activism on the part of the Dallas Cowboys who want to join “Arm-in-Arm” with the Dallas PD in support of the officer’s families of those gunned down by domestic terrorists. The NFL forbids the team from displaying the Arm-in-Arm symbol on their helmets! Why? Because it does not fit with their brand of political correctness.
Can anyone say “hypocrite?”
This is just one of the current and stupid moves on the part of professional athletes, sports broadcasters, and their sponsors on ESPN and related channels. The dumbest part is that you are now out of the closet. We know who you are and where you stand, and it is not with this Marine and his fellow Americans.
You hate us. We can live with that. The question is: “Can you live with the fallout or consequences of our knowing who you are and where you are coming from?” I think you were much better off when we did not ask - and you did not tell us that you think we are a bunch of God and America loving, Bible hugging, gun toting, deplorables!
Your biggest and dumbest mistake was to align yourself with the progressive Left. They hate you too! They hate everything that smacks of masculinity or promotes it in future generations. They gotcha.
For more than a decade the radical left and progressive movement in America has been doing its best to destroy all football programs from high school to collegiate levels, to the professional level in the NFL. Again, they hate any and every entity that they cannot feminize. Oh Roger, your hem is showing,
Now, the radical left can sit back and watch Pete Carroll, Mike Tomlin, and Roger Goodell do their work for them. And, one of the consequences of your actions has cost you – read lost you – the strongest and most manly members of your fan base. Stupid move. You were caught with your skirts up!
Like this Marine, there are tens of millions of men who do not need the NFL. I have better things to do on weekends like going to the range, hunting, fishing, and spending quality time with my grandchildren. That is a better investment of my time than watching millionaire cry babies on ESPN perpetuate myths about their being discriminated against.
You are too stupid to see that you have been played. I agree with my President Donald Trump, who has just gained more support from men like me. We love this guy because he has balls. We laugh at you because your hem is showing. The epitaph on the gravestone of the NFL should be this: “They shat where they et!”

"DIVISIVENESS" ? Hell;, that started a long time ago.
Can't even watch a football game anymore without it becoming political. First they speak against protecting this country from foreign nationals by denouncing ICE.Then Byeyonce. Then Kaepernick in a continuing series of degraded behavior. So much for the so-called "National" Football League who allowed this to start with its disrespect and no discipline. Why don't they just move to another country? There is more than enough visibility of the issues without the subjects being interjected into what is suppose to be a coming together in escape from the nonsense and lies.
Can't even drive safely down the road without being confronted by a bunch of lawless protesters in addition to the traffic that has been exacerbated by the likes of Jerry Brown.
Can't even watch entertainment award ceremonies without some idiot taking stage and using it to be in your face with their stupid nonsense & lies. Complete lack of any visible GRACE.
Can't even read a newspaper or watch mass media news without turning facts into unsupported opinions.
Can't legally vote upon issues and pass them without some idiot on the Supreme Court reinterpreting the Constitution to overturn lawful democratic processes.
Can't even APPROPRIATELY speak your mind without being called all kinds of phony names.
Can't even have EQUAL PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW any more.
Can't have children anymore without them being attacked for things that occurred well over 100 years ago. No acknowledgement of Statute of Limitations.
Can't get a job as a young citizen person to get started out on the road to life, because the jobs are taken by foreign nationals.
Can't worship Christ without fearing that some nut job is going to come in and blowup or kill worshipers in their appropriate place of worship.
Can't enforce the basic laws against violence without stupid protest and more violence.
And we are suppose to pay for all of this crap?
Freedom? Laws? You don't have either. You have ANARCHY supported by a distorted constipated legal system.
Our country has gone to hell with all of the unjust me-first discontent, hypocrisy & lies. This is not Russia's fault or China's fault.
This is Mexico's fault, our court's fault and our own fault and we are becoming just like them, ie, a banana republic. Kim Jong Un does not have to destroy us with nukes. All he has to do is wait until we ourselves have a complete melt down. Absolutely PATHETIC.
Please no interjections or comments or excuses here. Enough is enough.

MARIJUANA & MARRIAGE
In Washington State
Recently, on a single day Washington State recently passed two laws. They
1. Legalized gay marriage and
2. Legalized marijuana.
Legalizing gay marriage and marijuana on the same day now makes perfect Biblical sense.
Leviticus 20:13 says: "If a man lies with another man they should be stoned."
Apparently we just hadn't interpreted it correctly before!
Post Note: Jesus said "Let him who is without sin cast the 1st stone".
However, He did not pardon the sinner.
His point was that the punishment should not exceed the crime
& without exonerating the violator.
Since homosexuality is not an irreversible act, capital punishment
for it is unjustified. Randy Whites murder of Harvey Milk solely on the grounds of engaging in homosexual acts was wrong. But the commission of homosexual acts also remains to be wrong and always will be wrong. As a Christian who believes that Jesus Christ is God, if I truly love God, then I will obey God and His word. And when His word is so blatantly clear and self evident, there is no room for misinterpretation of the true meaning of love. Lust can never be real love. Neither is paying lip service to love without obedience to God representative of real love. Words can be cheap, but behavior speaks volumes.

If you believe that "forgiveness" is the unconditional conscious capitulation to evil without demand for change on the part of the wrong-doer & without fairly compensating those who have suffered at the hand of the wrong doer, then you know not the meaning of "justice" & "righteousness" and will deny others their belief in justice, thus becoming a cruel and treacherous person yourself. To refuse to see the relative sufferings of otherwise innocent people is evil in itself. Even Jesus Christ had His limits on forgiveness. He demanded "repentance" on the part of sinners & evil people, stating "There will be no forgiveness for those who speak against the Holy Spirit". So much for "unconditional love" which only God can grant.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahatma_Gandhi
It is easy to see the correlation between Gandhi & Jesus Christ.
Include in that comparison Abraham Lincoln.
He was a good man who did not believe in the partitioning of India, just
as Lincoln did not believe in the breakup of the Union..
So one could say both were "NATIONALISTS".
Lincoln was assassinated by a separatist.
The strange thing was that Gandhi was wrongfully assassinated by a self-proclaimed nationalist, thereby tainting the word "nationalist".
Whether or not countries should be partitioned or not depends much upon the dangers involved in exposing the involved populations to violence & injustice & the impact upon the rest of the world at large. There are times when cultures need to strive to work things out together for the sake of all. There are other times that the only way to avoid persistent conflict is to partition the cultures giving each their own space. Presumably this is why we have nations where there are distinct and irreconcilable differences that prohibit close proximity to each other.
It is UTTER NONSENSE & COUNTER-DIVERSITY to think that just because we are all human that we should be able to meld together into one melting pot on a global basis. Homogeneity is the antithesis of diversity. That's like saying all animals should have the same habitat.
BALONEY!
It is the duty of any visitor from one culture to respect the space of the other culture where he is visiting. When in Rome, do as the Romans. Otherwise stay home. Hence, illegal migration is WRONG & DISRESPECTFUL. If you are going to immigrate, then you should fully adopt the ways of the culture into which you are immigrating, & that means speaking the language. It is rather hypocritical for liberals to be condemning the FRENCH & US for not speaking Vietnamese while at the same time making allowances for our government to spend vast amounts of money publishing documents in every language to accommodate those who are simply too lazy to learn English.

As a 3rd generation Californian, I would not trust anything to those in control of this state. They are nothing but a SELF SERVING BAND OF THIEVES HIDING UNDER THE GUISE OF CHEAP COMPASSION.

Why should other states pay for California's arrogant lawlessness & subversiveness. And those who have property in California should boycott California's taxes.

VICEROY HOUSE. A superb movie & true story of the partitioning of India into Pakistan & India due to conflicts between (you guessed it) Muslims & Indians. The violence there at that time in 1947 foretells of the violence to come to the United States as liberals insist upon throwing cultures together into one room and arrogantly proclaiming the correctness of "diversity" as they seek cheap emotional & political reward as opposed to maintaining reasonable & peaceful domestic tranquility.

Ted Cooper
Trump gave an appropriate speech & liberals parse out just one word , "Rocket Man", to discredit the whole thing. HOW STUPID & GUTLESS THEY ARE! Trump was mellow in his use of the word "Rocket Man"., an extract from the liberal song writer Elton John. But liberals don't like us using their words. We have to say "We Condemn" which virtually means nothing.to the troops that Trumps commands. The only word liberals know is "appeasement". I would have used much stronger language to describe Kim, like F---NG ASS HOLE. It's time to challenge this bastard. A naval blockade may be an appropriate start. He must not be allowed to go any further in the direction he has gone or he will definitely be radiating the world.
Of course the namby-pamby liberals will inappropriately & hypocritically condemn Trump for starting WWIII rather than try to really contribute to defeating Kim..This is not the same as Vietnam or Iraq. KIM DOES HAVE WMD & IS THREATENING THE WORLD. IT IS NOT ABOUT A COUNTRY'S INDEPENDENCE FROM COLONIAL RULE AS WAS VIETNAM. THIS IS NOT A MISTAKE IN ASSESSMENT AS WAS IRAQ. KIM IS ENGAGED IN WAGING WORLD WAR.
Worried about Russia and China? We need to maintain civil contact with them. We need to not threaten them with any more trivial bull shit and assure them they will not be attacked unless they side with N. Korea., maybe even allow them to take over N.Korea since they are neighbors. The proof will be in the pudding.

TROUBLE MAKERS OF THE WORLD & WHO CALLS THEMSELVES WHAT.
“Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics” ("SOVIET"} and "National Socialist German Workers Party" (aka, "NAZI FASCIST"') both have something in common, ie, THE WORD "SOCIALIST". But more than that, they both represent forms of COERCED SOCIALISM..
"INDIVIDUALISM" stands in contrast to "SOCIALISM". They question is, are they mutually exclusive or can a person be individualistic and socialistic at the same time. The only word that comes to mind to describe the possessing of both is the word "NATIONALISM" without qualifying it as either socialism or individualism. Christianity might be seen as a form of socialism, but it does not represent a form of coerced socialism. Rather it should be seen as voluntary socialism and more closely akin to non-coerced "nationalism". Hopefully, that is what the election of President Trump represents.
This all may sound like a bunch of word games, but it is important in identifying the motives, leanings and intent of those who call themselves "socialists" or "progressives" or "liberals" or "libertarians" or "conservatives" . There are always shades of grey and different mixes of any of these. BUT THE WORST SHADE is that of "ANARCHISTS" on either the left or right. Our Constitution allows for the existence of any of these shades to exist, EXCLUDING ANARCHISTS, and demands "NATIONALISM". Therefore, anyone speaking against "nationalism" is very likely leaning toward anarchy, which is anti-Constitutional.
That should tell you something of the anti-nationalistic leanings of today's Democratic Party as they abandon loyalty to their citizen neighbors & countrymen in their attempts to completely dominate, indoctrinate and coerce the country into their mold and solely for the purpose of maintaining political power without regard for all and at the expense of the legal citizens.

From The FTC - Equifax Data Breach: Here Is What to Do
https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/blog/2017/09/equifax-data-breach-what-do
Trusting your financial info & identity to anything on the web/cloud is at best an educated risk. I would not use anything cloud based if I can avoid it at all. That includes FACEBOOK,GOOGLE, MICROSOFT, OBAMACARE WEB SITES, TAX PROVIDER WEB SITES, and financial institutions (although limited use of basic financial institutions has its pros). In addition I would be very careful in exactly what devices you store your personal info on and how you use them, especially cell phones which today love to use the cloud. ANYTHING ( AND I DO MEAN ANYTHING} THAT HAS ACCESS TO THE INTERNET IS AT RISK. I don't care the promises, the guarantees, etc, if it is devised/built by humans, it can be broken by humans.
In addition, there is VERY LITTLE that you can trust now days from the mass media (given all the lying liberal left) , and almost as little from the government. Remember there have already been 2 major data breaches of government data including the IRS & the DEPT OF PERSONNEL SERVICES which leaves very little confidence in the government.. That being the case, the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) may be the last resort when it comes to securing your financial info & identity protection. This website will direct you to
www.annualcreditreport.com/index.action
WHERE YOU CAN RECEIVE YOUR FREE ANNUAL CREDIT REPORTS AS MANDATED BY LAW. (Bet you didn't know you could get a free credit report one time a year)
I do not like Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren, but I will say they are correct with respect to this matter. They support DOOD FRANK (another pair I don't like) and so do I, UNLESS THE DAMN REPUBLICANS WISH TO RESTORE THE GLASS SPEIGLE ACT WHICH THEY STUPIDLY REPEALED UNDER BILL CLINTON EVEN AFTER THE DRASTIC SAVINGS AND LOAN CRISIS OF THE 1990S. Apparently, they learned nothing, which led to the disasterous financial melt-down of 2008.
Buit the Repunlicans are not alone in their absolute stupidity, because SO ARE THE DEMOCRATS WITH THEIR TRAITOROUS DEMANDS FOR ALLOWING ILLEGAL MIGRANTS AND UNVETTED REFUGEES. Funny how those who were once called "MIGRANT" workers became "IMMIGRANTS". It's so convenient to change terminology and then the Constitution & laws.
So SCREW BOTH PARTIES. NEITHER ARE CAPABLE OR DESIROUS OF PROTECTING THE AMERICAN CITIZEN, AND THIS IS WHY WE HAVE THESE IDENTITY THREATS TODAY. AND THIS IS WHY I SUPPORT THE MINUTEMEN & TEA PARTY. (You don't like it? Then T/S)

I jut witnessed the most incredible football game come-back ever. Near the end of the 3rd quarter, UCLA was down 34 points having only 10 points to Texas AM's 44 points. But UCLA decided to play ball like never before and come back to win 45 to 44. All thanks to UCLA'S QB Josh Rosen and a defense that finally woke up, but still almost blew it with a major unnecessary unsportsman-like conduct penalty.. (Kick the guy off the team.) ASTOUNDING.

Synopsis of The Bible and What/How We Interpret Things:
The Bible is the true and tragic story of good faith verses deceit that offers the only realistic viable explanation for the purpose of human existence. Of course if you want a life without a good purpose, that's up to you. We all love George Gershwin's "It Ain't Necessarily So". But then a complete literal translation ain't necessarily correct, any more than a complete metaphorical interpretive translation is correct.
We seem to have the same problem in interpreting our own Constitution. Knowing the actual contextual circumstances at the time a piece is written is important, which makes knowledge of history important. Of course the glorification of any one individual who contributed to vile efforts is not appropriate. But to rewrite history by tearing down remnants of it is to create a lie. Such attempts currently occurring in this country today are no different than denial of the holocaust or the destruction of historical sites in Palmyra, Syria by ISIS.
No matter the history, judgments based solely on precedence are not necessarily correct or representative of true justice, because history is filled with self serving politicians who have set one precedent or another. Example: John Marshall & the alleged power of Judicial Review. To say "This is right because we have always done it that way" is not a good example of correct thinking, but more indicative of laziness. The most honest thing a person can say is "In the long run, I simply don't know, because I was not there at the time".
But there are some things a person should know, because they are obvious and "self-evident". And on those things a person can be justified in making a judgment, particularly when it is backed up explicitly in the Bible. Example: the condemnation of homosexual behavior.

Quibbling over the amount of a donation is ABSOLUTE NON-SENSE. Both Trump and Sandra Bullock VOLUNTARILY GAVE $1,000,000 to the Harvey victims. But some idiots choose to condemn them for not giving more , because they are rich. NONSENSE. Just be thankful they gave anything at all. When i give as little as 10 cents to a homeless person, they say "God Bless You" which makes me want to give them more.
There is too much condemnation and too little thankfulness in this country. There has become too little appreciation for what our forefathers gave us, even to the point now that some idiot Catholic priest wants to tear down George Washington's statute. One might as well condemn one's own parents for having given birth to them.

On Phony Social Justice.
Belief in Jesus Christ is contrary to self-serving interest. But inappropriate belief can lead to societal maladies. Each individual must ask himself "Am I justified in ignoring &/or neglecting the plight of others, or am I being a self-serving bleeding heart who would act on behalf of those guilty of inappropriate behavior?". Being justified means we see the wrongs committed on all sides and correctly weigh their relative consequences without bias. It does not mean we dismiss the wrong doings of one side where the other side is more incorrect. Far too often we see others claiming to be morally correct as they completely ignore the injustices committed by those they claim to support. Case in point - supporters of illegal immigration.

To The "I HATE HATE" Haters.
When your behavior, lies, exaggerations and slander become as offensive as the behavior of those you claim to hate, then you become a complete phony & hypocrite no better than them. As Jesus Christ said "Will Satan cast out Satan?". In a nutshell, you are 100% wrong.
And so the liberal left is no better than the kkk and Nazi party. And they know their behavior is wrong, otherwise they would not be wearing masks, nor disrupting peaceful public rallies. They do not seek true social justice. They care not about the collateral damage they impose on innocent citizens, but seek only to exterminate any and all opposition to their viewpoint whether or not it presents a real threat to our society. They care not for the rule of law. Their only goal is to gain political power through disruptive protests, intimidation, frivolous law suits and violence. As C S Lewis has said, "When you make one cause the thing you must do at all costs, you ultimately find yourself lying, giving false witness and becoming a cruel and treacherous person" So it is with the liberal left.

Today's Sermon = MilkToast, Pure Pablum . Made me want to puke. Advocated an unfettered outreach of hospitality to anybody and everybody no matter what they've done extending well beyond the limits set by the Disciple Paul. It would have been better if it had been simply said "Don't be inhospitable without justification" . But oh no, we are suppose to love everybody unconditionally with sincerity. How can you be sincere if you betray those closest to you? It is hypocrisy, the same hypocrisy that threatens to destroy our nation..

The "scope" of anything generally defines the extent of inclusion. The "scope" of an argument can alter the morality of lesser "scopes". Example: WWII necessitated the killing of what would otherwise be considered the immoral murder of other human beings. The only problem was those human beings were motivated to impose their domination over other cultures in the world that had no direct impact upon them or their homeland.
When considering entering into an argument, a good rule of thumb is to ask ourselves "does it really impact us or our family". Beyond that we should ask ourselves "If it does impact us, then are we really justified in imposing our viewpoint, or is it detrimental to the majority of our neighbors". In other words, our scope of argument must be limited with respect to those immediately closest to us and not be projected or imposed upon other beings that have nothing to do with our own legitimate concerns. An atheist driving down the highway seeing a Cross on a hill has no business filing a law suit unless he happens to own the hill.
There can be no such thing as a human "right" unless it is in relationship to another human, who would also have "rights". When rights conflict, then the correctness of one right over another must be in terms of practicality, applicability, proportionate equality, common sense and "scope". The one size fits all is a fallacious approach that goes beyond any legitimate reason and scope.

Raven's Child vs. Obama
Conservative vs.Liberal
John Denver's song, Raven's Child, was an environmentalist's protest song against illicit dealings in drugs, arms and oil, and correctly so. The Obama administration saw some of the worst of these dealings. Opioid usage had its worst increase under Obama. Obama may have had no problem in trying to do away with the 2nd Amendment, but he also had no problem in selling arms to Vietnam and elsewhere. And the worst oil spill ever occurred under Obama's watch.
Now we have Donald Trump, and some of those calling themselves "liberal" who may profess to believe in John Denver's protest are out to do Trump in before he even has a chance. On the other hand, we have republicans who call themselves "conservative" who advocate increased fossil fuel usage. So there seems to be some confusion between what is "liberal" and what is "conservative".
Let's start with "conservative" which basically means "not aggressive", "sparingly", "cautiously", "protectively", "responsibly", etc. It does not mean complete elimination. To be an "environmentalist" is to be a "conservative". To be one who says "Don't chop down any trees at all" is not being a conservative environmentalist, but is being an extremist nut job. To be one who says "Let's stop using fossil fuel entirely" is to be an extremist nut job. To be one who says "Let's ban all weapons" is to be an extremist nut job. As C S Lewis said, "If you take just one cause and make it the one thing you must do at all costs, you wind up becoming a treacherous person". And so it is with any cause.
On the other hand, we have the word "liberal" . It probably finds it's current meaning being derived from what we called a "Liberal Education", which meant "broad", "more inclusive", "non-specific", etc. But today we find it going much further than that, meaning "aggressive", "without pause", "irresponsible", etc. "Swing the ax and let the chips fall where they may". Liberalism has become a threat to our way of life. And oddly enough, there are those republicans who claim to be conservative, yet are quite liberal in their pursuit of fossil fuel.
When it comes right down to it, we must not be so "conservative" that we dare do nothing. That is cowardice. On the other hand, we must not be so "liberal" that we say "To hell with everything. I want everything my way". A balance between the two is needed that allows continuation of the old while we transgress into the new. Donald Trump needs to be given a chance. We have far to many threats from abroad to be engaging in the petty domestic squabbling that has been going on. While we are sitting here worrying about & fighting over our health and our peckers, we have nut jobs abroad who want to shove nukes down our throats. SO JUST COOL IT DUDE!

So, you do not understand how I could become one of those "Jesus Freaks" and wind up believing in a mythological God. Well, the answer is probably as long as my life. But in a nutshell, let me put it this way.
Responsible forgiveness is part of loving, just as obedience is part of loving. Notice I did not just say "forgiveness is part of loving". I qualified it with the word "responsible" which means a quid pro quo. Some may say that "love means never having to say your sorry". But that would require absolute perfection, the likes of which can only be found in one Jesus Christ. So we, being imperfect, find ourselves having to say "I'm sorry" with the hope of being forgiven by those we have offended and with whom we seek a continued relationship. But a strange paradox occurs in that we cannot be forgiven unless we ourselves are capable of forgiving. So the question becomes, just exactly who do we forgive? More specifically, who should we forgive first?
It is not uncommon for us humans to have wishes and pray to God, only to find those prayers unanswered and thus conclude there is no God. But let me say this. If nothing else, God is the ultimate perfect character who sets a role model for us to follow. You believe in the characters of a novel and their ways, do you not? And so the Bible describes in every detail the essence of that ultimate perfect character, whether He is real or not. If you find yourself ultimately dismissing every aspect of that character, because He did not fulfill your wishes, then you are headed in the wrong direction, just as Pinocchio strayed away. To cut your ties to an all loving God is the equivalent of casting away your boat's rudder in a stormy ocean.
Early Christianity was first known as "The Way". Stripped of all else, the very last thing we humans have to help us survive is "hope". "The Way" is the way based upon hope. The way may have various side routes for each of us individually. No matter the route, we all ultimately hope that we wind up in the arms of an all-loving God. You might deny that reality now, but I guarantee the day will come that will be your deepest desire. However, if we find ourselves at war with God and do not forgive Him, how can we ever wind up in His arms? The jail door is shut closed never to be opened again for us.So in answer to the question "Who do we forgive", the answer is "We must forgive God first if we truly love Him". And then we must say "I'm sorry".
Associated with love and forgiveness comes the word "patience". As we grow older, we invariably find ourselves running out of patience. In the 1960's there was a toon going around depicting 2 vultures sitting on a limb exclaiming "Patience, hell, I'm going to kill something". Where it may have been funny, it did represent a truth about living. The problem with running out of patience is that it leads us to filthy language which can become a very bad character disorder. It is probably our greatest sin that disrupts peaceful living for those innocents around us. So I find it necessary to clean out my mouth once a week by attending church services.
I may have been a B+ or A- student in school. But in the school of life, I want to be an A+. I want to be as correct as I can be, not for the sake of ego and pride, not for the sake of admiration, but for the sake of the truth. And to me, Jesus Christ offers the way to truth. Jesus Christ is the real physical evidence of the existence of God. Furthermore, He is the truth and the only real hope for humanity. What I have seen and witness first hand in 76 years of life concludes me to believe that righteous humanity needs every break it can get with the quid-pro-quo of relatively simple reciprocity & self accountability. There never can be, nor should there be, a life of continuous free lunches all at the expense of the truly righteous. Troubled souls must ultimately find their own way given the guideposts along the way. In the end, we all must walk that lonesome valley on our own, our hope being for our own betterment and the betterment of righteous humanity.
So do I believe that Jesus Christ was real? You bet I do. Do I believe that He rose from the dead. There is too much evidence for me not to believe it. There were over 500 individual accounts of people seeing Jesus extending over 40 days after the crucifixion. And if He rose from the dead, then He must be the Son of God, if not God Himself. I say He is God, thus settling the question of the existence of God. Is God dead? Not if He rose from the dead. And what of the Holy Spirit? Is it real? This is the really tough one to answer, but let me try. The fact that Christianity grew rapidly after Jesus's resurrection and in the face of extreme adversity (ie, the persecution by the Roman Empire) gives evidence that the Holy Spirit is real. The disciple Paul's encounter with Jesus must have been real. In my own life, I am not one to be able to calm myself, particularly during times of severe unemployment. Yet at one of the most lowest points in my life, a calming voice told me "I will restore your job"., That was not me talking to myself. I can only attribute it to the Holy Spirit, the Comforter. It is the source of real self assurance and confidence. I just wish I could encounter more of it.
"Hocus pocus" you say? I'ld be one of the very last people to believe in the super natural. To me, Nostradamus was a total joke in college when everybody else was terrified the world was coming to an end. Seances and fortune telling are a bunch of nonsense. Faith healing is not something I would lean into. I still find it difficult to believe that the devil exists, although i have had so many surprises in the past it would not catch me off guard.. And UFOs guided by intelligent life is way down my list of real things. But I have to say, I have seen those strange lights in the sky on two very rare occasions. They were not hallucinations.
So yes, I believe in God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, ie, the Trinity, 3 in1. I believe they are real. And I believe they are the ultimate and only hope for human existence. Do I insist on imposing my religious views on others? Absolutely not, unless they are in my face with their religion as there has been quite a bit of lately since 911 with respect to Islam & Sharia Law which is a complete rejection of Jesus Christ..
Nevertheless, I believe that it is up to each individual to make their own choice. But I do insist on appropriate human behavior and punishment befitting the crime. And I am thankful for the freedoms that I have been afforded in my lifetime. I've had my share of problems, but when it comes right down to it, as my father used to say, "Someone is looking over my shoulder", although sometimes I did not see that to be true in his case in his later years. I only wish he could have had a better ending. And I wish I could have been a better son.
Responsible forgiveness is part of loving, just as obedience is part of loving. Notice I did not just say "forgiveness is part of loving". I qualified it with the word "responsible" which means a quid pro quo. Some may say that "love means never having to say your sorry". But that would require absolute perfection, the likes of which can only be found in one Jesus Christ. So we, being imperfect, find ourselves having to say "I'm sorry" with the hope of being forgiven by those we have offended and with whom we seek a continued relationship. But a strange paradox occurs in that we cannot be forgiven unless we ourselves are capable of forgiving. So the question becomes, just exactly who do we forgive? More specifically, who should we forgive first?
It is not uncommon for us humans to have wishes and pray to God, only to find those prayers unanswered and thus conclude there is no God. But let me say this. If nothing else, God is the ultimate perfect character who sets a role model for us to follow. You believe in the characters of a novel and their ways, do you not? And so the Bible describes in every detail the essence of that ultimate perfect character, whether He is real or not. If you find yourself ultimately dismissing every aspect of that character, because He did not fulfill your wishes, then you are headed in the wrong direction, just as Pinocchio strayed away. To cut your ties to an all loving God is the equivalent of casting away your boat's rudder in a stormy ocean.
Early Christianity was first known as "The Way". Stripped of all else, the very last thing we humans have to help us survive is "hope". "The Way" is the way based upon hope. The way may have various side routes for each of us individually. No matter the route, we all ultimately hope that we wind up in the arms of an all-loving God. You might deny that reality now, but I guarantee the day will come that will be your deepest desire. However, if we find ourselves at war with God and do not forgive Him, how can we ever wind up in His arms? The jail door is shut closed never to be opened again for us.So in answer to the question "Who do we forgive", the answer is "We must forgive God first if we truly love Him". And then we must say "I'm sorry".
Associated with love and forgiveness comes the word "patience". As we grow older, we invariably find ourselves running out of patience. In the 1960's there was a toon going around depicting 2 vultures sitting on a limb exclaiming "Patience, hell, I'm going to kill something". Where it may have been funny, it did represent a truth about living. The problem with running out of patience is that it leads us to filthy language which can become a very bad character disorder. It is probably our greatest sin that disrupts peaceful living for those innocents around us. So I find it necessary to clean out my mouth once a week by attending church services.
I may have been a B+ or A- student in school. But in the school of life, I want to be an A+. I want to be as correct as I can be, not for the sake of ego and pride, not for the sake of admiration, but for the sake of the truth. And to me, Jesus Christ offers the way to truth. Jesus Christ is the real physical evidence of the existence of God. Furthermore, He is the truth and the only real hope for humanity. What I have seen and witness first hand in 76 years of life concludes me to believe that righteous humanity needs every break it can get with the quid-pro-quo of relatively simple reciprocity & self accountability. There never can be, nor should there be, a life of continuous free lunches all at the expense of the truly righteous. Troubled souls must ultimately find their own way given the guideposts along the way. In the end, we all must walk that lonesome valley on our own, our hope being for our own betterment and the betterment of righteous humanity.
So do I believe that Jesus Christ was real? You bet I do. Do I believe that He rose from the dead. There is too much evidence for me not to believe it. There were over 500 individual accounts of people seeing Jesus extending over 40 days after the crucifixion. And if He rose from the dead, then He must be the Son of God, if not God Himself. I say He is God, thus settling the question of the existence of God. Is God dead? Not if He rose from the dead. And what of the Holy Spirit? Is it real? This is the really tough one to answer, but let me try. The fact that Christianity grew rapidly after Jesus's resurrection and in the face of extreme adversity (ie, the persecution by the Roman Empire) gives evidence that the Holy Spirit is real. The disciple Paul's encounter with Jesus must have been real. In my own life, I am not one to be able to calm myself, particularly during times of severe unemployment. Yet at one of the most lowest points in my life, a calming voice told me "I will restore your job"., That was not me talking to myself. I can only attribute it to the Holy Spirit, the Comforter. It is the source of real self assurance and confidence. I just wish I could encounter more of it.
"Hocus pocus" you say? I'ld be one of the very last people to believe in the super natural. To me, Nostradamus was a total joke in college when everybody else was terrified the world was coming to an end. Seances and fortune telling are a bunch of nonsense. Faith healing is not something I would lean into. I still find it difficult to believe that the devil exists, although i have had so many surprises in the past it would not catch me off guard.. And UFOs guided by intelligent life is way down my list of real things. But I have to say, I have seen those strange lights in the sky on two very rare occasions. They were not hallucinations.
So yes, I believe in God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, ie, the Trinity, 3 in1. I believe they are real. And I believe they are the ultimate and only hope for human existence. Do I insist on imposing my religious views on others? Absolutely not, unless they are in my face with their religion as there has been quite a bit of lately since 911 with respect to Islam & Sharia Law which is a complete rejection of Jesus Christ..
Nevertheless, I believe that it is up to each individual to make their own choice. But I do insist on appropriate human behavior and punishment befitting the crime. And I am thankful for the freedoms that I have been afforded in my lifetime. I've had my share of problems, but when it comes right down to it, as my father used to say, "Someone is looking over my shoulder", although sometimes I did not see that to be true in his case in his later years. I only wish he could have had a better ending. And I wish I could have been a better son.

The conscience that seeks the path to relative righteousness and justice may sometimes seem conflicted. It has been said that the road to hell is filled with good intentions. Yet still we must not dismiss its goal of intentional appropriateness nor reject its ultimate goodness when the proof is in the pudding.
When it comes love and just punishment, the truly loving parent is not afraid to say "This hurts me more than it hurts you, but it is for your own good", provided that the punishment is just and not abusively beyond appropriate. That can be said of Jesus Christ. And it can be said of Abraham Lincoln who believed in Jesus Christ. Lincoln may have plunged this country into a bloody civil war by forcing the South into captivity, but he also made every effort to heal the wounds he inflicted. The South may have been right in its effort to secede for the purpose of maintaining peace, but it was also exercising a dual hypocritical standard of slavery which was unacceptable to the Federal Constitution to which it had agreed and the moral principles of Christianity.
Yet there are those squeamish more recently sitting on the bench of judgment who call themselves "justices" and would decry any such just and appropriate punishment, claiming it to be be "mean spirited", or "cruel and unusual". They put on their fine robes dressed as any ritualistic high priest to proclaim their moral high ground, and pick on just one unspecified Law Of Moses, "Thou shalt not kill", as if it were some absolute principle. They completely fail to investigate the common sense specificity of that law and its scope of applicability and practicality, as well as the exceptions to it. And there is an exception to it which is clearly spelled out in the same Old Testament, only a different chapter. If they had any sense of putting 2 and 2 together, they might come to understand that what is really meant is "Thou shalt not deliberately take another innocent person's life without their explicit or implicit consent". "Implicit consent" can be construed to mean through action other than through word. This is more complete and throws an entirely different light upon the real meaning of the law. Nevertheless, they have chosen to emphasize the alleged human rights of just one (1) individual over the general welfare of the broader society.
We must always ask, "Which path is for the greater good?".All things and all causes must be taken into consideration when making decisions that have an irreversible impact upon the outcome of what is really best for humanity, with recognition that the loss of some lives may be for the ultimate betterment of humanity and moral righteousness. That does not mean we go about indiscriminately blowing people up when we know absolutely nothing about them, or on behalf of some half-assed religious ideology that asserts it knows what is best for humanity. Nor does it mean we execute people who have not been well proven to have deliberately taken the life of another innocent person without their consent. Nor does it mean we go about murdering people with whom we disagree politically, as in the movie The Last Super. Nor does it mean that we execute homosexuals for being homosexual, as did Randy White. Nor does it mean that we execute people for blasphemy against the God in who we profess to believe, as do Islamics. Nor does it mean we lie and slander, as do the current day news media. Nor does it mean that we setup kangaroo courts that have no explicit powers of judicial review mentioned anywhere in the Constitution to overrule our democracy and persecute those with whom those in power disagree, all justified by precedence (ie, tradition) as did Caiaphas in his execution of Jesus Christ.
But Dietrich Bonhoeffer correctly made that decision for the greater good when he joined in attempts to assassinate Hitler. And Harry Truman correctly made that studied and discriminate decision in his determination that more innocent lives would be saved by taking the lives of a relatively few enemies (and innocents) when he dropped the bomb. And capital punishment is justified when the proof is without the shadow of a doubt, not only for the betterment of society, but for the just closure of irreparable pain on the part of victims' families who are traumatized over and over again by repeated parole hearings, negligent guards, and failed prison facilities.
Of course we must never use this "path for the greater good" as justification for laziness in attempts at having our own way and not taking the road lest traveled. At the same time, we must not abandon those who have taken that road lest traveled for our sake, or our brethren, or our countrymen under the guise of maintaining the moral high ground, as did the Pharisees and Sadducees, and as are the so-called "sanctuary" cities of today. The prostitution of a country is still prostitution that seeks to completely avoid the road lest traveled with the false justification of compassion and improved financial gain for all. Nevertheless, it invariably results in negligence in dealing with inappropriate behavior, and hence lower standards with greater hypocrisy and chaos.
You may think that unfettered freedom is a "good" thing for humanity, but it is not. A free-for-all is still a free-for-all and a brawl. And as C S Lewis said in Mere Christianity, "you may think that love of humanity is a safe place to be. But if you make it your single most cause that you must follow at all costs, then you eventually find yourself lying and providing false witness on behalf of humanity and becoming a treacherous person" , meaning you betray those closest to you. Under such circumstance, how can you honestly and legitimately proclaim to love everybody when you betray those closest and dearest to you and become complicit with murderers & thieves?
And if they are only thieves you support, do you have any proof of their restitution. Jean Valjean of Les Miserables went well beyond the call of making restitution. Without restitution, forgiveness is a joke. Even Jesus Christ said, "there is no forgiveness for blasphemy against the Holy Spirit". That means there must be accountability, without which It is hypocrisy and void of demonstrating any trust worthiness or credibility. Even those on whose behalf you speak can see your negligence and lying for personal and political gain. And once they have won through your efforts, they themselves will turn against you for their own betterment, thus throwing out the absolute cause for which you so valiantly fought. As Jesus Christ said, "Do not cast your pearls before pigs". What better pearls do you have other than your own family, friends, and countrymen who you now seek to betray?.
You cannot be that beautiful city on the hill for all to model after if you are a completely opened city and allow the self serving to betray and dominate.
Of course the "boss" of an opened city is always going to be a tyrant who is always going to have his own way. And he will probably always be too little to administer real justice and real righteousness. Al Capone almost became mayor of Chicago at one time, all because of his "compassionate" soup kitchens. Compassion is not compassion when it has no demand for appropriate reciprocity. Instead, it becomes a phony bribery front for self serving interests. Freedom is not freedom when it goes unfettered. And justice is not justice when it perpetuates more prolonged pain than it relieves. As Jesus Christ said, "By their fruits you will know them".
Righteousness means maintaining relative balance & perspective within your own political system, but with a 3rd eye upon the global environment. To insist upon world wide cultural/ moral homogeneity and impose your own standards upon other cultures is to kill true diversity and inspire conflict. Christianity recognized that a long time ago and is now a religion of free choice, not one of imposition. Winning over other cultures requires the setting of an example on the global stage, not instigating demonstrations and conflicts over same-sex marriage in other countries, not punishing other nations for their internal affairs of which you have no business, not by entering another country illegally and demanding your rights to be there, etc. One nation poking its nose into the internal affairs of another should be an absolute no-no. Amnesty International may be causing more global conflict than it resolves, being something like a nosy neighbor. Live and let live is what is really best for humanity. As that now famous philosopher Rodney King once ask, "Can't we all just get along?".
At the same time, there are areas of common interests that should be the joint concern of all nations. Maintaining a global vigilance against threats to global peace (like radical Islam, like Iran, like North Korea) is an obvious necessity. Regulation of international waters is another area of common concern. And it is beginning to look like even the atmosphere is becoming a common concern. Whether or not we humans are responsible for global warming is one thing, But certainly global pollution of oceans & air has become perfectly obvious.
The relative consequences of human activity is best managed not by regulations, but by each individuals own personal responsible behavior, the absence of which requires the regulation and rule of law. Unfortunately the Rodney King's of the world have consistently found it to be necessary to impose the rule of law, but with as little of it as possible, lest it become a detriment to humanity itself. Rodney forgot to add "Can't we all be responsible human beings and cleanup after ourselves.
On the other hand, there are those whose every answer to every problem is to institute some statutory law despite the most obvious problematic answers and commonsense, thus increasing the likely hood of humanity being buried under burdensome laws. This has become more obvious with respect to red tape that is directly proportional to global population and the threats by rogues to disrupt global peace over whatever stupid perspectives they may have. No matter, it all increases the coffers of lawyers who would all be out of work if they really solved any problems.
When it comes love and just punishment, the truly loving parent is not afraid to say "This hurts me more than it hurts you, but it is for your own good", provided that the punishment is just and not abusively beyond appropriate.

This is REALLY IRONIC AND HYPOCRITICAL considering that ABC's 20-20 program engaged in the same type of unlawful filming of restaurant customers reactions to a setup scenario whereby 2 non-English speaking Mexicans would go up to the order counter, try to place an order in Spanish, only to told by the the counter clerk to speak in English. ABC's under-cover camera would then query the customers of their reaction to the scenario, and if the customers agreed with the counter clerk, then those customers would be labeled "racists". TOTALLY INAPPROPRIATE AND UNLAWFUL. NO DIFFERENCE HERE, ONLY SELECTIVE LAW ENFORCEMENT IS THE OPERATIVE, NOT CONSISTENCY. After that little episode, I stopped watching ABC altogether and never will watch that station again.

Where I agree with this Trump supporting group, we need to ask on a larger scale "Is it a good thing to go to a public business or place just to protest its politics". I understand the idea of fighting fire with fire. But consider the protests against Chic-Filet, the LDS church, or any protest that disrupts, distorts the true proportions & open the doors for riots and anarchy. SUCH EVENTS ARE NONSENSE NO DIFFERENT THAN THE NAZI BEER HALL PUTCH INVITING OF MARTIAL LAW.. Police ought to have the power of arresting for disturbing the peace, regardless of the alleged right to impose upon society at large. SILENT BOYCOTTS are a much better approach and more possible given social media. And rallies are a different story, being more positive in nature.

Suicide - The Good, Bad, and Ugly.
The Good.
1. Soldiers with PTSS who seek to escape their nightmares through suicide deserve help.
2. Murderers who commit suicide without harming anyone else do society a favor.
3. Euthanasia when it is clear that a more dreadful death is immediate and certain.
4. Masada to avoid more brutal death at the hands of an enemy.
The Bad.
5. When used for the purposes of emotional hostage taking & ransom con jobs.
6. Participation in suicide assistance when there are other fair options.
The Ugly.
7 Suicide bombers and mass murderers who indiscriminately take innocent peoples lives along with them.
8. Jim Jones
9. Heavens Gate
And now we ask: "Did Jesus Christ not voluntarily commit suicide for the betterment of humanity"? If so, that says a lot about the morality/immorality of homicidal/suicidal murder and provides guidance for our so-called criminal justice system.

There are various legitimate reasons for estrangement between father and son, homosexual behavior being one. But with as many illegitimate children and broken homes as there are today, it is not surprising to see homosexuality on the rise and people looking for love in all of the wrong places. Yet still, the option of divorce is far better than allowing the "hardness of the heart" to grow into outright murder of one's spouse. And the same holds true when divorcing from one's adult wayward child.
Whether or not the same holds true for a nation and its division into separate autonomous states is still a matter of political discourse. But one thing has been proven to be correct, and that is that group decision making increases the chances for survival. However, if it is no longer possible to civilly engage in group decision making, then separation into states may be the only reasonable option as long as there is general agreement not to engage in further conflict with each other.

ON FATHER'S DAY:
I was COMPLETELY SHOCKED & INCENSED to see a Japanese film documentary on REFUGEES OF THE 2oth CENTURY that described how starving Russian women in the 1920's cannibalized their own children. Whether or not they killed their children for food remains uncertain, but that seemed to be the implication. And if so, there needs to be some serious consideration to prevent this from happening, along with legitimate means or curtailing population explosions beyond the means of support.
Captain Bligh of the Bounty, as much hated as he was, WAS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT IN HIS DEMAND FOR DISCIPLINE THAT RULED OUT CANNIBALISM. HE & HIS LOYAL CREW SURVIVED. THE MUTINEERS DID NOT. And although there have been other instances of cannibalism under dire circumstances, ie, the Donner Party & the Argentine Soccer Team, it is a very dangerous slope to go down and one which victims of the Holocaust did not practice. It is highly doubtful that Jesus Christ would endorse any cannibalism, and it is important that His metaphors not be taken so literally when He obviously meant that civilized behavior is more important than self survival. To obscure His teachings with self seeking, self justifying agendas is a sin in itself.
Children should not be brought into this world only to be exploited, be it for religious reasons, political reasons, or economic reasons. And certainly not for consumption as food. Nor should a child be aborted to be used for body parts, food or profit, but only when when the mother's life is at stake. If a person becomes a parent by mistake, then it is his/her duty to lay down his/her life for that child as long as it is a dependent child (excluding rape). That opportunity was granted Moses when, as an infant, his mother set him afloat on the Nile. .And if something threatens the life of their child, then it is the parents duty to protect that child without treating other innocent people unfairly/unjustly. And if the child treats others unfairly, then it is the parents duty to correct that child, even if it means the just capital punishment of that child as the penalty for the child's deliberate murder of innocent people.
Beyond the barbaric exploitation of children just described, the documentary pointed out how such abhorrent behavior is the result of improper human motive & conflict. And upon this subject I would elaborate in terms relevant to today's political atmosphere which reeks of the stench of injustice, slander, unlawfulness, untruthfulness, and hypocrisy, which in turn would lead to the deprivations of civil war.
For anybody, life's circumstances can be extremely difficult to deal with. Nobody ever said you have the right to earn the same work reward as everybody else. Nobody ever said you have the right to be a pig in squandering far more than you'll ever need. Nobody ever said that there is to be equality for all and in all matters. Nevertheless, discipline and adherence to just behavior and forgiveness is paramount to the survival of the human species, regardless of any one individual or societal/cultural preference. But today we are seeing very little of that proper, disciplined, & just behavior.
With respect to alleged religious freedom, that freedom should only exist for those religions that acknowledge the right of the individual to have the freedom to believe according to his/her own conscience. Quite obviously, radical theologies, like Islam that practice Sharia Law and do not acknowledge this individual right, have no place in a country that advocates democratic freedom. Why would you grant freedoms to a theological ideology that does not grant individual freedom? It is hypocrisy. Were today's Christianity to accept the freedom granted it and not extend the same freedom to individuals, it would be stamped out in a heartbeat, Christiphobia being rampant enough. Such religions enslave and exploit their own children.
With respect to illegal migration and cultural invasion, nobody ever said you have the right to trespass into another culture's nation. On a mass scale, that is unjust behavior & tantamount to war. And to come to a foreign country, refuse to assimilate, refuse to speak the host language, and then march in protests of your alleged civil rights using your children to benefit yourselves is uncivil in itself and beyond insult. Your behavior, which is undisciplined, unjust, unlawful, unforgiving, and unchristian, is to be condemned, deserving of deportation. Yes there are those who would support your unlawful behavior and stupidly argue in the name of diversity, failing to acknowledge that each culture demands its own habitat and that commingling actually destroys diversity. All they have done is to divide a nation & create an environment that has no common understanding or reason.
With respect to past historical racial injustices, those unjust acts that happened 100+ years ago are NOT THE FAULT OF THE PERPETRATORS' PROGENY OF TODAY UNLESS THEY CONTINUE TO ADVANCE THE HATRED OF THEIR PREDECESSORS. But on the larger scale, that is not happening within this country. Therefore, those riots and protests based upon generalized non-specific allegations of wide-spread racism are untrue and unjust, inspiring wide-spread incivility contrary to disciplined justice. There is absolutely NO JUSTIFICATION for looting and burning down legitimate and innocent business establishments, unless those establishments are also participating in racism. Such behavior is no different than undisciplined indiscriminate mass murder, and teaches children to behave similarly. By the same token, there is NO REASON to accuse today's Russian women of cannibalism or today's children of WWII aggressors of inspiring war. In other words, THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS MUST CUT OFF WITH THE PROGENY OF PERPETRATORS IF THOSE CHILDREN DO NOT ADVANCE THE CRIMES OF THEIR FATHERS, LEST FURTHER INJUSTICE IS PERPETUATED.
With respect to those pigs (rich and poor) who seek the easy way to life, you are a parasite to a disciplined and just society, either squandering more than you need or sucking the teat of a benevolent society beyond your legitimate needs. I am speaking to the CEOs of large companies who earn disproportionately far more than your workers when compared to the relative values offered. I am speaking to those food stamp exploiters who refuse to seek employment. I am speaking to those politicians who pass laws that do not pertain to themselves, make deals behind closed doors and would prostitute our country for fame or fortune. I am speaking to those foundations that have taken donations and demonstrated absolutely no results for the benevolent purposes alleged. I am speaking to those judges whose sense of justice has become convoluted with a false sense of love, misconstrued the intent of our Constitution, usurped its powers beyond those explicitly granted, and who have prostituted our country. You are all blights on a just society and its children and deserving of condemnation.
Finally, with respect to those whose sexual practices are abnormal, we don't really care to have your sickening garbage in our face, including plays like Corpus Christi and unholy marriages. Your selfishness is clear enough and unacceptable. True, you have suffered injustices not befitting your foul behavior. But such injustices are addressed under conventional law, punishing those murderers like Randy White. That should suffice for the purposes of legitimate justice. And true, there are those who have been born with questionable reproductive apparatus. But today's medical procedures can rectify that. No matter, that is not enough for many of you who would force your foul practices upon the children of a disciplined/ just/lawful/Christian society and unseat the rule of democratic practices all for your own warped selfish interests. And for that you are or will be condemned.
That said, you can be forgiven IF YOU REPENT AND CORRECT YOUR OWN BEHAVIOR BOTH IN PUBLIC AND IN PRIVATE WHERE THE LORD DOES SEE YOU. You alone have the freedom to accept and obey the Lord Jesus Christ or not. And you alone are ultimately responsible for your own outcome through your own behavior, nobody else.

The problem with the world today is that there are so many who outright refuse to discipline their own in the false name of love, or if they do then it is often overkill and unjust. No matter, withdrawal of support is always a just, reasonable and legitimate form of discipline.

HOW RADICAL ISLAMIC TERROR HAS SHARPENED MY FOCUS ON EXACTLY WHO GOD IS.
I am not one to take a Pollyanna approach to life and find that there is "good" in even the worst evil. But when confronted with evil, I reevaluate my beliefs.
Prior to 911, I had pretty much given up on God. But after the attacks on innocent people by what was previously thought to be just another religion, I began asking questions about Islam and seeking answers. And I found them. What I came to learn was that Jesus Christ is God in contrast to Islamic belief that came 600 years after Christ and completely rejects Jesus Christ. In other words, the God of Islam IS NOT THE SAME GOD of Christians. So exactly who are the real bigots of the world?
Of course, atheists reject the idea of there being any God at all. But to them I would ask "Why are you arrogantly so closed minded?". As an intelligent being, I would not go so far as to proclaim "There is no God". That is absolutely stupid, because we all know that not one single human sees all and knows all things. Who do you think you are, the Great Karnac? Scientist admit that we know only 3% of all things in the universe. So are you saying you know more than the scientists know? Of course you can hypothesize there to be no God. But to say you know for a fact there is no God is to be a liar.
The most honest thing you can say is simply "I don't really know". And you can go further and say "I don't really care". But don't go around condemning others simply because they do care, unless of course their beliefs result in irresponsible behavior that puts others at risk, such as Heavens Gate or Jim Jones or David Koresh or excessive bleeding hearts or the brutality of Sharia/Jihadism.

Furthermore, DC Police are not even performing the regular procedures required to fully investigate. Finally, the Rich family is being represented by a Democratic PR group.

The more you look into this, the more strange it gets. Rich family shows abnormal response to murder of Seth Rich. Most families will entertain ALL SOURCES OF EVIDENCE & REASONABLE SPECULATIONS in effort to find the killer(s). The Rich family is not doing this. Furthermore, DC Police are not even performing the regular procedures required to fully investigate. Finally, the Rich family is being represented by a Democratic PR group. HAS THE RICH FAMILY BEEN INTIMIDATED TO RESTRICT THE INVESTIGATION?

The JUDICIAL SYSTEM SUCKS and has sucked for 45 years now.
In 1972, a white married man murdered his white wife in front of his children shooting her 9 times. He was arrested and sent to jail. During the subsequent investigation, a witness close to the murderer told the police he had planned it 6 months earlier. At his first arraignment, the stupid judge said that "BECAUSE OF THE BAN ON CAPITAL PUNISHMENT, THERE IS NO CRIME THAT CAN BE HELD WITHOUT BAIL". With money from his mommy, the murderer was released on $25,000 bail. The district attorneys prosecuting the case took it before a grand jury stating that it was a torture crime. The man was again put in jail, after which he was again released on another $25,000 bail. Up to the time of his criminal trial which occurred 9 months following, he was allowed to seek custody of the children and sued for his wife's life insurance of $20,000. He lost both law suits, but instead of the children getting $20,000, they only got $10,000, due to attorney fees.
By the time his criminal trial came around, the witness who stated that the murderer planned to kill his wife 6 months prior recanted his statement. As a result, the judge excluded the charge of deliberate 1st degree homicide, reducing the charge to 2nd degree murder. The murderer was found guilty and sentenced to 15 years to life. At the end of the trial, the judge called the children who testified against their father into his chambers. He told them "FORGIVE AND FORGET". While in jail, the father sent his son a picture of him in jail with a couple of other inmates and wrote upon it, "GOOD CLEAN CUT CHRISTIAN BOYS". He was out of jail only after serving 3 years behind bars.
That is our so-called justice system. It has become hard to tell who is more guilty, the perpetrator or the judge. And the so-called justice system has become more negligent and more worthless as time progresses. Yet it is now telling the states, the Congress, and even the President of the US what they can and cannot do. IT IS TIME FOR JUDICIAL SYSTEM REFORM. IT NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO THE CITIZENRY AND NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

It is easy to look up at the night sky and surmise that it is all the work of the personage of God who is seen as being all-knowing, all-intelligent, and thus a supernatural entity. But scientists looks at the details of life here on earth, question the disparity between the geological record and religious record, and have concluded with the theory of evolution in denial of the existence of God. They argue that life has evolved from the very smallest of creatures, the microbe, whose beginning is the result of unknown physical processes. They imply that we humans are the result of an ongoing assemblage (community) of micro-organisms. They also argue that we are the most intelligent beings on the planet due to the ratio of our brain size to our body size.
So now I ask a very simple question. We humans along with other animals have "learned" to breath, a process we have not completely understood until very recently. Breathing requires a knowledge of air pressure variants & how to manipulate them for the purposes of oxygen delivery. So exactly where & how did a community of micro-organisms (who are seen to be less intelligent than ourselves) acquire this knowledge of breathing if not from a more intelligent preexisting being? A process of trial and error implies a search for some predefined desired goal, such as the search for food. But how does the search for food result in a community intelligence capable of building a breathing apparatus as sophisticated as our own lungs?
One might argue that air is a fluid like water, and that therefore the breathing apparatus was a natural extension of a fishes gills. But once again we ask "From where did the intelligence come that enabled a bunch of micro-organisms to assemble a fish's gills?". At this point, scientists might argue that it was merely a serendipitous hap-hazard discovery and not the result of preexisting knowledge. So it would seem that some scientists might be saying that there is no such thing as preexisting knowledge except that it be previously learned through hap-hazard circumstance. This amounts to nothing less than complete narrow mindedness to which I object given the knowledge of the actual fact of Jesus Christ. If true, then there have been one hell of a lot of serendipitous hap-hazard beneficial events that require a recognition and an intelligence to exploit which is contrary to even the nature of modern man.

Responsibility and accountability are required when behavior is deliberate, within the realm of reasonable control, and unjustified. "Forgive them, they know not what they do" and "who so ever speaks against the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven" express this principle. In other words, there is no such thing as unconditional forgiveness, except that it be on the part of God.
That said, penalties for breaking the law must be commensurate with the immediate consequences of the crime committed. Justice demands that the penalties do not exceed the consequences of the crime, but also that the penalties not be so lenient or untimely as to encourage continue law breaking and further suffering of victims, thereby denying closure. Of course the penalty of the execution of a well proven murderer does not exceed the crime committed by the murderer.
Penalties for violations of crime prevention must not be treated the same as the actual commission of the crime itself, but should be much lesser in effect since no actual crime was committed. However, as an exception, in the case of self defense which is considered to be "crime preventing", it may be that the initiator of a sequence of criminal events be permanently dispatched within the threat time frame before he can commit unjustified murder, said result constituting "justifiable homicide".

Extreme left vs. extreme right. The fact of life is, no matter which direction you go, if you go far enough you wind up being no better than that which you claim to be against. That being said, capital punishment, when correctly applied, cannot be equated with unjustified murder, BECAUSE IT GIVES CLOSURE TO THE VICTIMS OF VIOLENT CRIME, AND TO NOT DO SO IS A CRIME IN ITSELF AMOUNTING TO CRUEL AND UNUSUAL TORTURE.
It is the state's duty to oversee and enforce the laws for the purposes of protecting its citizens. What we have witnessed in the last 5o years is the ever increasing gross negligence of duty at all levels of the state, all inspired by gutless politicians and jurists and based upon the alleged unfettered power of judicial review of the court which is not specified in the Constitution.
The day is coming when there will be so much tolerance for violent crimes that one group will have had enough and will ultimately violently overthrow any remaining government to become an oppressive dictatorship exceeding the cruelty of North Korea and Sharia Law.

JUSTICE vs. HISTORICAL TRUTH
Justice must be "timely" meaning that unless a crime such as murder has been committed, then a statute of limitations for meaningful criminal prosecution must apply, lest the prosecution turn into the crime of persecution. That said, the purpose of an "investigation" must be disclosed to identify it as an investigation for criminal prosecution purposes or simply for historical purposes that cannot be used for criminal charges
The problem with the extreme lying liberal left is they want to continue prosecution for alleged crimes that are historical in nature and include the progeny of the alleged perpetrators, therefore advocating for criminal persecution that can be labeled as slander.

Report 95 is undated, but mentions Wikileaks release of DNC emails on Jul 22 2016.
Report 086 is mis-dated Jul 26 2015 talks at length about Russian hacking capability & mentions events in Jun 2016. Therefore, it must be report 096 originating on Jul 26 2016. Perhaps it was intentionally mis-dated.
Report 97 is dated Jul 30 2016
The Republican Convention was Jul 18-21 2016.
It would seem that in just 4 days between Jul 22 & Jul 26 that Mr Steele all of a sudden had one hell of a lot of information gathered, coinciding with the confirmed nomination of Mr Trump. It appears to be almost a KNEE-JERK REACTION more than a studied investigation.

The Mathematics Of "I AM" And Identity Through Morality.
René Descartes said "I Think, Therefore I am". And one of the great quotes of the Bible is the voice of God saying "I AM". But who or what is this "I Am".
"I" is universally understood to be the number "one" or "1", ie, unity. And mathematics is based upon the repeatability of the number "1". But what is "1"? In science we talk about the "UNIverse", ie, "one" astro-physical entity. In politics we talk about "Solidarity", ie, "one" body. So an assemblage of different "1"s of differing identities can produce a single "1" with an entirely unique identity. In other words, "oneness" can arise from a bunch of "oneness's",ie, unity from unity.This should not be too hard to understand since we see it in our every day lives all the time.
Digressing for a moment from the mathematics of "oneness" , we must ask ourselves about the "goodness of unity", because there are those would insist that unity is always a "good" thing which is not always true. Suffice to say, the one of the Bible who calls Himself "I AM" elaborates upon what is "good" and what is "evil", thereby giving Himself a unique identity by virtue of His morality. If we accept this premise, then it should be clear that not all unities are "good" in terms of morality. But math knows not morality, despite what politicians may say. Bad "ones" can produce more bad "ones", just as "good" ones can produce more "good" ones. They are all still "ones" in mathematics.
Returning to the mathematics of unity, we still have not gotten down to the makeup of those "1"s of seemingly different identities that make up a larger whole. My mother use to tell me "I f I cut off you arm, are you still not you"?. And if I cut off more of your body parts, are you still not you?". And every time a scientist splits apart a subatomic particle, he only finds more particles. In other words, in our search for the smallest of "1"s we find only more "1"'s, that is until we find something that is more energy (or spirit) than matter. From a mathematical standpoint, the question is "Is that tiny little mustard seed repeatable or is it truly unique, never capable of being copied?"
So how small is "small" and how great is "great"? Is "THE 1" of the Bible who calls Himself "I AM" the very smallest of all or the very largest of all or both? It would seem that the mathematical answer is really trivial compared to the more important question of MORAL IDENTITY. I would submit that the one of the Bible who calls Himself "I AM" considers the propagation of His moral identity to be more important than the propagation of His numbers. So for now, I (this one little individual) will accept the Christian assemblage concept of 3-IN-1 which conveys "good unity from good unity" and is more positively constructive and less hypocritical (self contradictory) than any other idea. After all, who likes being proven more wrong & inconsistent than right?

Submitted to the ACBL.
THE 19+ POINT 2C OPENING & RESPONSES
Ever since it became the catch all for all previous 2-level suit openings
which were game forcing, the 2C opening has been seen as forcing to game. But
there is very little reason to continue this line of thinking, because a
much greater benefit can be achieved by lowering the minimum point requirement
from 22 points to 19 points. By so doing, a much greater variety of bid
possibilities are made available in the 16 t0 18 point range.
No matter, the problem with the 2C opening has always been in the responses
to it. A partnership invariably finds itself flaying about trying to find
the correct contract without over bidding or under bidding. So the intent here
is to put to rest the frustrations arising from this situation by providing
some principles in considering a response system as well as defining a specific
set of bidding sequences after the 2C opening.
First, let me enumerate some principles here.
1. A game contract in no-trump requires 25+ points.
2. The bidding system must be very judicious in not passing up a 3NT contract.
3. The bidding sequences must be geared toward a specific end and kept as low as
possible.
4. A "CONTROL" is an ace or a king in a suit.
5. With 19 high card points, the 2C opener is bound to have at least 3 of the 8
controls in aces and kings. Only if he has 11-12 points in queens & jacks
is it possible for him to have only 2 controls. But if that is the case, then
he should downgrade his hand to 18 high card points & not open 2C.
6. Responder's first obligation is to tell opener his control count.
a. With 4 or more controls, he should respond with an immediate 2NT.
It should be clear to opener that their partnership has at least 7 of the
8 controls, and therefore they have all suits stopped.
b. With 2-3 controls, responder should bid 2D.
Whether or not the partnership has controls in all suits remains unclear
to the opener. However, there is sufficient bidding room to ascertain
whether or not this is the case before passing up 3NT.
7. Responder, having less than 2 controls, must make a careful evaluation of
the "SHAPE" his hand. There are generally four kinds of shape for the purposes
of responding to 2C:
a. 1-Suited consisting of 6+ cards in a single suit with no other 4-card
suit and having a singleton or void.
b. 2-Suited consisting of 5+ cards in one suit and 4+ cards in another
and having a singleton or void.
If one suit is only 4-cards long, then consideration must be given
with respect to it being higher (inverted) in rank or lower (non-inverted)
in rank than the long suit.
c. 3-Suited typically 4-4-4-1 or 5-4-4-0 and having a singleton or void.
d. "Liberalized Balanced" has no singletons or voids & promises 2 cards in
every suit. Given that the strong opener may have a very long suit himself,
it would nice if responder acknowledged having at least 2-card support for
that suit.
The combination of responder's hand shape and high card points will dictate
his response(s).
8. When there is a lack of agreement upon a suit between a strong partner
and a very weak partner, then the best contract is in the weak partner's
long 6+ card suit if he has one and especially if he has a singleton or
void.
Now, let's look at the actual bidding sequences.
9. When responder comes back immediately with 2NT indicating 4 or more controls,
the opener becomes in charge of the bidding. It should not be too difficult for
the reader to continue on with his own logic at this point.
10. When responder comes back immediately with 2D, it is clear that they have enough
points to proceed to game. If opener has 5+ controls, it is clear that they have
all suits stopped & a no-trump contract is possible. But if opener has less than
5 controls, then by opener bidding 2H/2D, it is possible to slowly but surely
identify where responder's 2-3 controls are and whether or not no-trump is
possible. Over 2H responder would make the cheapest bid of the suit containing his
first control. If responder had only 2 controls in the same suit, then he would
bid 2NT. And so the bidding could continue up-the-line until opener can tell
whether or not they have all suits stopped.
11. And now we turn to the really hard situation, ie, WHEN RESPONDER HAS LESS THAN
2 CONTROLS. The first thing he must identify is whether or not he has any
singletons or voids.
a. Without any singletons or voids, responder is going to target a 2NT contract
with less than 6 points, or a 3NT contract with 6 or more points. Remember,
responder cannot bid 2NT immediately. Therefore, he must give a FORCING 2H RELAY
to transfer opener to 2S, after which he will bid 2NT or 3NT depending upon his
points.
At this point, what if opener does not want to take the transfer? What if he
refuses? There can be only one justification for refusing, and that is if opener
has game in his hand & does not need the responder.
b. Having a singleton or void, the RESPONDER will try to convey the shape of his hand
to opener. However, in the absence of 6+ points or a 6+ card suit, he has no
choice but to target the 2NT bailout sequence. So the following only peratins if
responder does have 6+ points or a single long suit.
1] The 2C->2H->2S RELAY SEQUENCE.
We have already mentioned the 2H RELAY to 2S to get to a no-trump bid. But
because of the TRANSFER effect, if responder has a 6+ card spades suit with
less than 6 points, then he can "PASS".
In addition to showing a "balanced" hand or a weak 1-suited spade hand, there
are four other possible continuing responder bids after opener's 2s bid,
all of which require 6+ poitns.
3S/2s shows an inverted 5-spade 4-diamond holding with 6+ points.
3H/2S shows an inverted 5-heart 4-diamond holding with 6+ points.
3D/2S shows an inverted 5-spade 4-club holding with 6+ points.
3C/2S shows an inverted 5-heart 4-club holding with 6+ points.
2] The 2C->2S MINOR SUIT STAYMAN SEQUENCE.
MSS asks opener to indicate whether or not he has a 4-card minor suit.
It is useful for those cases in which responder has a 2-suited hand in the
minors and even in being able to show a 3-suited hand holding 2 suits in
the minors & just one 4-card major suit.
Since MSS behaves as a transfer, it can be used to transfer to clubs.
Therefore, with 7+ clubs and no points, responder can bid 2S MSS.
If opener replies with 2NT (ie, no 4 card minor) then responder can simply
bid 3C. If opener replies 3D,then responder can still bail out at 4C. Of course
if opener comes back 3C, then responder can "PASS".
With 6+ points, after opener's reply responder can go on to show a new
non-inverted suit in addition to having 5+clubs.
3] The 2C->3C Sequence is a TRANSFER TO 3D to which responder can "PASS" or go
on to further describe his hand. To go on he must have 6+ points. And any new
suit he bids at the 3-level will be understood to be possibly non-inverted
having only 4-cards. Thus, he can describe his 2-suited non-inverted hands.
4] The 2C->3D Sequence is a TRANSFER TO 3H to which responder can "PASS" or go
on to further describe his hand. To go on he must have 6+ points. And any new
suit he bids at the 3-level will be understood to be possibly non-inverted
having only 4-cards. Thus, he can describe his 2-suited non-inverted hands.
5] The 2C->3H Sequence is a TRANSFER TO 3S showing 6+ points with a 6+ card spade
suit.
6] The 2C->3S Sequence ahows 6+ points and 5+ spades with 4 hearts.
7] The 2C->3NT Sequence shows 6+ points with a 3-suited hand having both majors
and an unidentified minor.
To restate what We previously said: WITH GAME IN HIS HAND, OPENER CAN REJECT ANY
OF THE AFORE MENTIONED RESPONDER DEMAND BIDS.
THE 19+ POINT 2C OPENING & RESPONSES
Ever since it became the catch all for all previous 2-level suit openings
which were game forcing, the 2C opening has been seen as forcing to game. But
there is very little reason to continue this line of thinking, because a
much greater benefit can be achieved by lowering the minimum point requirement
from 22 points to 19 points. By so doing, a much greater variety of bid
possibilities are made available in the 16 t0 18 point range.
No matter, the problem with the 2C opening has always been in the responses
to it. A partnership invariably finds itself flaying about trying to find
the correct contract without over bidding or under bidding. So the intent here
is to put to rest the frustrations arising from this situation by providing
some principles in considering a response system as well as defining a specific
set of bidding sequences after the 2C opening.
First, let me enumerate some principles here.
1. A game contract in no-trump requires 25+ points.
2. The bidding system must be very judicious in not passing up a 3NT contract.
3. The bidding sequences must be geared toward a specific end and kept as low as
possible.
4. A "CONTROL" is an ace or a king in a suit.
5. With 19 high card points, the 2C opener is bound to have at least 3 of the 8
controls in aces and kings. Only if he has 11-12 points in queens & jacks
is it possible for him to have only 2 controls. But if that is the case, then
he should downgrade his hand to 18 high card points & not open 2C.
6. Responder's first obligation is to tell opener his control count.
a. With 4 or more controls, he should respond with an immediate 2NT.
It should be clear to opener that their partnership has at least 7 of the
8 controls, and therefore they have all suits stopped.
b. With 2-3 controls, responder should bid 2D.
Whether or not the partnership has controls in all suits remains unclear
to the opener. However, there is sufficient bidding room to ascertain
whether or not this is the case before passing up 3NT.
7. Responder, having less than 2 controls, must make a careful evaluation of
the "SHAPE" his hand. There are generally four kinds of shape for the purposes
of responding to 2C:
a. 1-Suited consisting of 6+ cards in a single suit with no other 4-card
suit and having a singleton or void.
b. 2-Suited consisting of 5+ cards in one suit and 4+ cards in another
and having a singleton or void.
If one suit is only 4-cards long, then consideration must be given
with respect to it being higher (inverted) in rank or lower (non-inverted)
in rank than the long suit.
c. 3-Suited typically 4-4-4-1 or 5-4-4-0 and having a singleton or void.
d. "Liberalized Balanced" has no singletons or voids & promises 2 cards in
every suit. Given that the strong opener may have a very long suit himself,
it would nice if responder acknowledged having at least 2-card support for
that suit.
The combination of responder's hand shape and high card points will dictate
his response(s).
8. When there is a lack of agreement upon a suit between a strong partner
and a very weak partner, then the best contract is in the weak partner's
long 6+ card suit if he has one and especially if he has a singleton or
void.
Now, let's look at the actual bidding sequences.
9. When responder comes back immediately with 2NT indicating 4 or more controls,
the opener becomes in charge of the bidding. It should not be too difficult for
the reader to continue on with his own logic at this point.
10. When responder comes back immediately with 2D, it is clear that they have enough
points to proceed to game. If opener has 5+ controls, it is clear that they have
all suits stopped & a no-trump contract is possible. But if opener has less than
5 controls, then by opener bidding 2H/2D, it is possible to slowly but surely
identify where responder's 2-3 controls are and whether or not no-trump is
possible. Over 2H responder would make the cheapest bid of the suit containing his
first control. If responder had only 2 controls in the same suit, then he would
bid 2NT. And so the bidding could continue up-the-line until opener can tell
whether or not they have all suits stopped.

3S/2s shows an inverted 5-spade 4-diamond holding with 6+ points.
3H/2S shows an inverted 5-heart 4-diamond holding with 6+ points.
3D/2S shows an inverted 5-spade 4-club holding with 6+ points.
3C/2S shows an inverted 5-heart 4-club holding with 6+ points.

suit he bids at the 3-level will be understood to be possibly non-inverted
having only 4-cards. Thus, he can describe his 2-suited non-inverted hands.

6] The 2C->3S Sequence ahows 6+ points and 5+ spades with 4 hearts.

and an unidentified minor.

Final Take on Christopher Steele's so-called report.
The report, the bulk of which is dated Jun 20 1916 to Aug 5 2016, alleges two major things against Trump.
1) That Trump in 2013 engaged in some "perverted" behavior while staying at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Russia, and this makes Trump a possible pawn of Putin.
2) That Team Trump colluded with Russia in disrupting the Presidential election.
There are only 4 possibilities:
a. That the allegations are both true.
b. That allegation 1 is true & 2 is false.
c. That allegation 2 is true & 1 is false.
d. That both allegations are false.
It stands to reason that IF ANY PART OF THE ALLEGATIONS ARE FOUND TO BE FALSE, THEN ALL ALLEGATIONS ARE FALSE. At this point, there seems to be plenty of falsehoods in allegation 2 which would cause us to discard allegation 1. And allegation 1 is so outrageous, so inconsistent, so unsupported by hard evidence, so secretive of the sources/witnesses & so unjustifiable that it is beyond belief.
The unjustifiable part has to do with the motives behind the allegation 1, ie, the hatred & disrespect for Trump as well as the stated "FEAR" of Trump being a puppet of the Russian government. "FEAR", in the complete absence of any well proven behavior, is hardly justification for SLANDERING anyone. One of Hitler's "FEARS" and justification for murdering millions of Jews was that they would be in cahoots with the Russians who would senselessly murder Germans. The attackers at Trump ralleys are masked BECAUSE THEY FEAR. "FEAR" is not a valid reason.
The lack of any hard evidence is also very apparent in allegation 1. No recordings of any kind, no named witnesses coming forward, nothing. The only thing we have is hearsay. Source E, an unidentified compatriot of Steele's, seems to be at the center of much of both allegations and just a total fountain of information. Steele says Source E told him that he SETUP Sergei Millian WITH Source F, a Ritz Carlton staffer who, it is implied engaged in perverted activities along with Trump in some nebulous sexual activity. So did Source E engage in or even witness those activities? Apparently not.
And what exactly was the nature of those alleged activities. One version says that Trump allowed himself to be urinated on. Another version says Trump hired some prostitutes to urinate on the bed where Obama is said to have slept 4 years earlier. YET THE REPORT FAILS TO SAY THAT TRUMP ACTUALLY HAD SEX WITH ANYONE. Strange, if you go that far, why not go all the way with your charge? So are the so-called alleged half assed activities enough to warrant a "FEAR" that they can be used to make Trump a puppet. Would any reasonable & intelligent blackmailer, as Putin is alleged to be, be willing to trust that he has enough to persuade the victim. I hardly think so. The only person(s) who might be really impacted by such minimum misconduct would be Trump's family to whom Trump could simply say, I was not "unfaithful", but I was stupid, for which he could be forgiven. NO MATTER, CERTAINLY TRUMP'S WIFE KNOWS TRUMP'S SEXUAL PROCLIVITIES ALREADY, SO IT IS UNIMPORTANT
Of continuing concern is WHO IN OUR GOVERNMENT UNMASKED & LEAKED THE NAMES OF TRUMP TEAM MEMBERS? We now know that our government has been surveilling Team Trump for a very long time. We know that Susan Rice unlawfully requested & received the names of Team Trump members from one of the intelligence community, either the CIA or the NSA. It is apparent that this info was leaked into Steele's report. THE KEY QUESTION IS "WHO IS SOURCE E", AN ALLEGED COMPATRIOT WHO SEEMS TO KNOW ONE HELL OF A LOT, ENOUGH TO MAKE ONE SUSPECT HIM OF BEING IN THE CIA GIVEN ALL OF THE US INFO HE HAS? WHERE DID SOURCE E GET ALL OF HIS INFORMATION IF NOT FROM INTELLIGENCE GATHERED BY THE NSA &/OR CIA? ARE YOU TO TELL ME THAT BRITISH INTELLIGENCE HAS MORE INFO ON WHAT GOES ON IN OUR COUNTRY THAN OUR OWN INTEL COMMUNITY? HARDLY. SO EITHER SOURCE E IS ACTUALLY IN US INTELLIGENCE OR HAS ACCESS TO INFO GLEANED FROM US INTELLIGENCE. Either way, that US Intel agent (whether Source E or not) , along with Susan Rice, is going to sit in jail for a very long time.
It is not likely that Source E is John Brennan since it is unlikely that John Brennan as head of the CIA would be personally involved in setting up Source D with Source F. BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT JOHN BRENNAN IS NOT THE ONE WHO UNMASKED NAMES TO SUSAN RICE WHO IN TURN LEAKED TO THE NEWS MEDIA. AND IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT SOURCE E DID NOT ACTUALLY WORK FOR BRENNAN WITHIN THE CIA.
Question to Sergei Millian (Source D): WHO IS THE ONE WHO CLAIMS THEY SET YOU UP WITH A STAFFER (Source F) AT THE MOSCOW RITZ CARLTON IN 2013?
Overall, it is beginning to appear as if the US Government is guilty of conducting an illegal surveillance on US citizens & then concealing the means by which they could unlawfully exposie the names of those being surveiled, all for the purpose of political gain
Contrary to this report, President Trump has been THE MOST TRANSPARENT PRESIDENT SEEN IN AGES. One can read his mind the minute he has a thought. He thinks out loud. As Secretary Hull once said, "I have never seen so many untruths in all my life". Only this time it was not the Japanese or even the Russians. It was the British meddling in our elections.

NO WMD. NO TRUMP EVIDENCE.
Some idiot is digging over and over again through the MOUNDS OF NSA WIRE TAPS OF TEAM TRUMP and saying to himself:
"Those incriminating recorded conversations (alluded to by Christopher Steele) between Trump & the Russians must be here somewhere?" Why else is it taking so long to close this matter?
Of course we all know that Americans would go ballistic if the NSA were to acknowledge that fact, let alone acknowledge that they released the information into a political campaign that found its way into the news. And what if those wiretaps were shared with Mr Steele? Or better yet, what if Mr Steele & the British government wire tapped the Trump team? No matter, somebody is squirming very hard, if not for the lack of an incriminating conversation, then for the fact that they are engaged in a perverted government operation.
And what of those idiot politicians who have hated Trump from the start? How do they fit into all of this witch hunt nonsense? And what are some of them even doing sitting in the seat of judgment when they have been biased right from the start?
No, we do not need an "independent" investigation. WHAT WE NEED ARE A FEW GOOD & HONEST REPUBLICANS & DEMOCRATS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE TRUTH & COME FORTH. But then they are being drowned out by the Chuck Schummers & John McCains.

Well this pretty much contradicts all of the allegations about the closeness of Trump to Russia. WHY WOULD TRUMP NEED A GUY TO BROKER SOME MEETING WITH RUSSIA IN JAN AFTER ALL THE LIBERAL NEWS HAS BEEN ACCUSING TRUMP OF HAVING CLOSE TIES TO RUSSIA SINCE BEFORE HE BECAME THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE?

Or is all they intend to do is create doubt at every turn rather than report the truth?
On another note, we keep hearing the cry that Trump has no experience. WHAT IN THE HELL EXPERIENCE DID OBAMA HAVE WHEN HE TOOK OFFICE? NONE. ZERO NADA. HYPOCRITES !

GRANTED IT IS A DIFFICULT SITUATION FOR THE DEAD MAN'S FAMILY TO DEAL WITH, BUT TO EXACERBATE THE PROBLEM WITH CLAIMS OF RACISM IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS AND INDICATIVE OF REVENGE, NOT JUSTICE.
If 60 Minutes is going to persist in its claims of "racism", then NEXT TIME THE REPORTER MAKING THAT CLAIM OUGHT TO BE MADE TO CONDUCT THE ARREST HIMSELF (if he really thinks he has the where-with-all to do so). IT IS FAR TO EASY TO JUDGE PEOPLE WHEN YOU ARE NOT PART OF THE SITUATION YOURSELF, INCLUDING THE JUDGMENT OF THE BEHAVIOR OF TROOPS UNDER THE STRAIN OF COMBAT. That is not to condone the deliberate murder of innocent civilians such as the My Lai massacre. But if the murder of innocent civilians is unintentional & occurs as a result of necessary war-time operations, then it must be regarded as unintentional collateral damage corrected by civil law suit, not criminal laws suit.

At what point does "fear" justify murder, or any other behavior for that matter ? We cannot say "never", because all have a right to individual self defense when confronted with threats of violence against our own beings or families. But, beyond those direct threats, is murder (or any other behavior) justified? Certainly "execution"" is justified after one has committed a deliberate unjustified murder of a non-consenting innocent person(s).
But the question really goes beyond murder per se. It delves into our own behavior and what we do based upon "fear" as opposed to "faith". Behavior based upon "GOOD FAITH" must be a key part of any judicial thought. And "good faith" is what the Bible defines.

The PBS documentary "DEAD RECKONING" tracts the history of global judicial thought from WWII to current day. It presents the war-crime trials of those atrocities committed by Nazi & Tojo troops immediately after the war. It also describes how governments withheld disclosure of thousands of those engaged in those atrocities & even protected them. That this would be an outrage is understandable for those seeking justice.
Then the documentary went on to describe the Mỹ Lai Massacre committed during the Vietnam war which again was the deliberate wrongful killing of presumed innocent civilians. The documentary describes the expansion of judicial thought to include "Genocide & Crimes Against Humanity", which again is in line with correct thinking.
But from there the documentary goes on to describe the "OPINIONS" leading to today's judicial proceedings arising from the expanded (and quite frankly ridiculous) ideology of alleged "Human Rights" that has permitted the release of those who have actually committed atrocious acts. There is a BIG DIFFERENCE between prosecution for ACTUAL DELIBERATE MASS MURDER & TRIVIAL BEHAVIOR (such as urinating on a Koran) THAT IS NOT THE SAME AS DELIBERATE UNJUSTIFIED MURDER.

Which is more " perverted", a government spying on perverted behavior or the person engaging in perverted behavior itself? One must ask "Is the national security REALLY at stake, of am I being overly fearful?". The presence of any tumor in the human body is generally considered a "bad: thing. But then there are benign tumors & there are cancerous tumors. No matter, it can be a most difficult question to deal with.
That said, I would find it really difficult to resolve any question dealing with another person's "perverted" behavior. I would probably at minimum distance myself from that person. BUT I SURE AS HELL WOULD NOT CONDONE THE BEHAVIOR SUCH AS ENDORSING HOMOSEXUAL MARRIAGE OR WILD ESCAPADES ON THE PART OF A PRESIDENT. AND IF YOU ARE GOING TO CLOUDY THE MATTER BY CALLING ME A BIGOT, A RACISTS, A HOMOPHOBE, AN ISLAMAPHOBE, A LAWLESS VIGILANTE, OR ANY OTHER STUPID UNTRUTHFUL NAME, THEN YOU CAN JUST GO TO HELL, BECAUSE YOU ARE JUST AS MUCH A PART OF THE PROBLEM AS ANYONE ELSE.

Given that I have a personal interest in the effects of cancer, I want to see who reads and who shares without reading it! If you have read everything, select "like", so that I can thank you in your profile. I know that a large percentage of you won't, but my true friends are going to do it. Please, in honor of someone who died, or has cancer, or even had cancer. Everyone says: "if you need anything, don't hesitate, I'll be there for you"..., so I'm gonna make a bet, without being pessimistic, I'd like to know which of my friends and my family will put this on their FB timeline. You have to copy and paste (do not share)!!! I want to know who I can count on...
Write "done" in the comments when you do it! This is the month to raise awareness of this disease. I did it for myself and someone very special !
We all know someone who has fought this disease, or who is fighting against this evil now.

NOTHING BUT HEARSAY & SPECULATION.
Other than hearsay, does this guy, a foreigner who may have his own political motivations, have any HARD EVIDENCE FOR HIS ALLEGATIONS? It would seem that he was initially hired by Romney in Sep 2015 who wanted to smear Trump in the run up to the Republican nomination. Based upon 1 report of sexual misconduct by Trump 10 years prior & with complete disregard for Bill Clinton's most vile sexual act while in office, Romney persisted in slandering Trump with implications of being a Russian operative based upon a desired result & Steele's nefarious reporting.
In his June 2016 report, Steele starts out with the FOREGONE CONCLUSION THAT TRUMP IS A BAD RUSSIAN COOPERATIVE, ALLEGING 5 YEARS OF COOPERATION WITH THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT STARTING IN 2011.
Specifically he states:
1) Source C is said to be a Senior Financial Russian Official who overheard Putin talking favorably of Trump. In addition, two compatriots of Steele's, Sources A & B, report that 2 Russian officials have said that Putin has been harvesting Trump since 2011. Now exactly why would that be, because that was the time when the Russian "Reset" was given by Hillary Clinton. And the Ukrainian/Crimea problem did not occur until 2014. So why would Putin even bother with Trump? Makes no sense.
2 ) The most outrageous allegations are those of "perverted sexual acts" on Trump's part in Moscow during a 2013 visit tied to the Miss World Contest where he appeared in a music video with contestants . Unidentified Source F IS said to be an employee at the Ritz Carlton in Moscow , & who says that Trump employed prostitutes to urinate on the bed where Obama slept during a previous visit in 2009. (It should be noted that Obama's only other visit was to St Petersberg in 2013.) Who would remember or go to the trouble of finding out where Obama stayed in 2009? Trump was not even running for POTUS in 2013, so why would he waste his time doing that? Utter nonsense. Nevertheless, Steele maintains that Trump could be held hostage by Putin having knowledge & record(s) of his alleged sexual miisconduct.
IN ADDITION, STEELE GOES ON TO REFERENCE SOURCE D & SOURCE E, ONE BEING AN ETHNIC RUSSIAN FRIEND OF TRUMP, WHO STEELE SAYS AFFIRMED THE CLAIM ABOUT TRUMP'S ALLEGED MISCONDUCT. BUT EXACTLY WHO ARE THESE TWO.ALLEGED SOURCES, NEITHER OF WHOM ARE STEELE'S COMPATRIOTS? IT WOULD SEEM ONE A RUSSIAN ETHNIC NAMED SERGEI MILLIAN AKA SIARHEI KUKUTS. SO WHO IS THIS GUY? A Belarusan American businessman who may or may not have ties to Trump as Steele would lead us to believe. No matter, Steele claims that Millian made comments regarding Trump to a friend (the other source) in private & that the friend passed these comments on to Steele himself. So it seems that D is the friend & E is Millian. or visa versa.
3) Source E, Millian, is said to have acknowledge that the WikiLeaks of emails, etc was the work of the Russian regime in an agreement that the Trump campaign would not address the Ukraine/Russia conflict. Nonsense, many well read Americans see the overthrow of the democratic Ukrainian government as a legitimate concern of Russia. And Oliver Stone has put out a movie on our attitude toward Russia as being fear mongering.
So at this point, what do we have? We have Steele hearing from 3 of his MI-6 compatriots the murmurings of Russian officials, a single Ritz Carlton employee claiming that Trump engaged in bad sexual behavior, & a Belarusan guy talking to a friend who passed the conversation on to Steele. ALL HEARSAY WITHOUT ANY FACTUAL EVIDENCE
IS NOT IRONIC THAT HIS REPORTING GETS MORE INTO FINANCIAL DETAIL AFTER HE IS HIRED BY THE CLINTON TEAM IN JUNE 2016? STEELE'S SUBSEQUENT REPORTING FROM JUNE 2016 OVER THE 6 NEXT MONTHS TIME FRAME APPEARS TO BE ALL CONJECTURE & DETAILED NOTES ENUMERATING VARIOUS POSSIBLE TRUMP ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING COOPERATION & AGREEMENT WITH RUSSIAN OFFICIALS IN TILTING THE 2016 ELECTION, THEREBY JUSTIFYING HIS INITIAL ASSUMPTIONS FOR WHICH HE OFFERS NO PROOF OTHER THAN HEARSAY ORIGINATING WITH RUSSIAN OFFICIALS' STATEMENTS GARNERED THROUGH HIS COMPATRIOT OPERATIVES IN RUSSIA..DID STEELE DIRECTLY INTERVIEW ANY OF THE ALLEGED ORIGINATING SOURCES.? APPARENTLY NOT.
In subsequent memos he alleges:
4) Trump associates have acknowledged close ties between Trump & US based Russian diplomats. Which Trump associate(s) might that be? Paul Manafort, Carter Page & others are alleged to be intermediaries between Trump & Russian operatives. Manafort, by the way, has been operational in Presidential politic for years going back to Gerald Ford & Ronald Reagan.
5} Trump's attorney, Michael Cohen, has a wife of Russian descent & her father is a leading developer in Moscow. BIG DEAL.
MOST NOTABLE ARE STEELE'S ERRONEOUS AND UNTRUE STATEMENTS REGARDING COHEN AND HIS ALLEGED SECRETIVE MEETINGS WITH RUSSIAN OFFICIAL IN PRAGUE & ELSEWHERE. ALL UNTRUE & RAISES SERIOUS DOUBTS AS TO THE VERACITY OF STEELE'S REPORTING.
6) And on and on he goes, all to justify his initial premise.
COULD IT NOT BE THAT STEELE, BEING A BRIT, HAS COMPLETE DISLIKE & BIAS AGAINST TRUMP IN THE 1ST PLACE? WE ALL KNOW HOW BRITAIN HATES PUTIN WHO THEY BLAME FOR THE DEATH IN THEIR COUNTRY OF THE EX-FSB AGENT WHO TURNED ON PUTIN. That in itself is a controversial and unproven allegation, all based upon allegations that Putin having orchestrated the bombing of a hotel in Russia more than likely committed by extremist radical Chechnyans, like the Boston marathon bomber.
Finally, could it not be that this is the "intelligence?" that Evelyn Farkas claims that "WE" had on Trump, whoever that "WE" is? It should be noted that Gen Michael Flynn is not mentioned in Steele's gossip piece. So how was it that he came to be "wire-tapped" which obviously happened given the intelligence revealed regarding his conversations with Russians? The obvious surveillance without a warrant is illegal & THE LEAK OF MICHAEL FLYNN'S NAME IS A FELONY. MEANWHILE, THE CLINTON FOUNDATION GETS A "PASS" WITH RESPECT TO THE 2012 RUSSIAN "RESET" DEAL. All an obvious VIOLATION OF THE 14TH AMENDMENT, EQUAL PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW.
Mr Steele may come from a country where you are guilty until proven innocent, BUT THIS IS AMERICA, at least it used to be. And the question being completely overlooked & disregarded is, WHO IS BEST TO LEAD AMERICA OUT OF ITS QUAGMIRE OF MAJOR POLITICAL MISCONDUCT & NEGLIGENCE? Certainly not any Bush who opened the doors to invasion by illegals. Certainly not Romney whose Mass State health program became the model for Obamacare. Certainly not Hillary Clinton with her stinckin' husband Bill & who left the W.H cleaned of furniture the last time they occupied it.. And certainly no supporter of Obama who was completely derelict in his duty to the American people. Ted Cruz, who Romney rejected right up to the end, was the only other viable candidate for POTUS, & it is hoped that he returns to run again.

Even though Farkas was not in the government in 2016, she was an active democratic political supporter. And she very clearly says "WE had very good intelligence". But now she says that she did not have access to intelligence. SO EXACTLY "WHO" IS THE "WE" she was referring to? THAT "WE" MUST REFER TO CHRISTOPHER STEELE, THE BRITISH EX-MI-6 INVESTIGATOR WHO REPORTED THAT TRUMP HAD URINATED ON OBAMA'S BED IN RUSSIA, THE VERACITY OF WHICH IS HIGHLY QUESTIONABLE. Mr Steele should be required to testify before the Congressional committees.

Evelyn Farkas, a former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense under Obama, HAS ADMITTED TO TARGETING THE TRUMP TEAM IN GATHERING INTELLIGENCE AND THEN LEAKING IT. This woman was not even within the Obama Admin at the time Trump was elected. But she had been in high places until 2015, after which she left government. No matter, she is a political activist with friends in high places & should be prosecuted along with her political cronies who have orchestrated this mess. SHE & OBAMA SHOULD BE THROWN IN JAIL FOR BREAKING THE LAW(S). After Trump was elected, Obama immediately authorized the NSA (who can collect info on American citizens) to share any info the NSA had on Trump with Obama supporters.
LAWS BROKEN BY THE OBAMA ADMIN: 1) Leaking intelligence info 2) Leaking the names of American citizens in connection with the gathering of foreign intelligence, 3) Disclosing the names of persons of interest during an investigation (contrary to all law enforcement standard practices) without filing charges, 4} Slander 5) VIOLATION OF THE EQUAL PROTECTION LAW AFFORDED BY THE 14TH AMENDMENT, 6) CONSPIRACY TO COMMIT FRAUD & DEFRAUD THE AMERICAN CITIZENS OF THEIR VOTES IN A LEGITIMATE ELECTION, & 7) ABUSE OF POWER .

To my bridge friends.
I keep refining the weak bids. So many possibilities, so little room. But I think this finally does it.
UPDATE: There are two options you can use for the WEAK RESPONSES: The MINOR SUIT STAYMAN OPTION or the SIMPLE 2S TRANSFER OPTION. Both are shown here.
Bridge is a game of CONSTRAINED RANDOMNESS, ie, CHAOS. I wonder what it would look like with a 5th suit called "Bells" & a 5th honor called the "Princes"?
OVERVIEW OF MY 2C OPENING RESPONSE SYSTEM
WITH THE ADVENT OF WEAK 2 OPENINGS, THE STRONG UNBALANCED 22+ POINT 2C OPENING
WAS CREATED. THE REASON 22 POINTS WAS MADE THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT WAS BECAUSE
PLAYERS HAD PREVIOUSLY CONSIDERED THE 1-LEVEL OPENING OF A SUIT FOLLOWED BY A
JUMP SHIFT TO BE 19-21 POINTS, WHICH WAS ALWAYS CONSIDERED SACRED. WITH THE
MINIMUM UNBALANCED STRONG OPENING AT 22 POINTS, IT MADE SENSE TO MAKE THE 2C
OPENING FOLLOWED BY A 2 NO-TRUMP (2NT) BID TO BE 22-24 POINTS. THAT MADE IT
POSSIBLE TO REDEFINE THE 2NT OPENING FROM 22-24 POINTS DOWN TO 19 TO 21 POINTS.
WITH SOME QUIBBLING OVER 1 OR 2 POINTS, THE 2NT BID WAS THEN REDEFINED TO 20-21
POINTS. WITH 1NT BEING REDEFINED TO 15-17 POINTS & A SLIVER POINT RANGE OF 18-19
POINTS FOR BALANCE HANDS.
AS PEOPLE STARTED USING THE 2C OPENING, THEY BEGAN FINDING DIFFICULTY IN BEING
ABLE TO ACCURATELY RESPOND TO IT. AT FIRST A SYSTEM OF "STEP RESPONSES" WERE
TRIED WHICH RESPESENTED RESPONDER'S POINT COUNT RANGE. BUT THESE WERE ABANDONED
TO A 2D "WAITING" BID TO GIVE MORE ROOM TO OPENER TO DESCRIBE HIS HAND. NEITHER
OF THESE HAVE PROVEN TO BE OF MUCH BENEFIT. THEN SOMEONE CAME UP WITH THE IDEA
OF "CONTROL" RESPONSES, AN EXCELLENT IDEA WHEREBY RESPONDER ATTEMPTED TO
COMMUNICATE HIS HOLDING IN ACES & KINGS. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT THE SYSTEM
OF ASSIGNING "CONTROL POINTS" OF 1 FOR A KING & 2 FOR AN ACE, AND THEN ADDING
THE POINTS TOGETHER IS NOT VERY EFFICIENT. BUT IT IT STILL THE BEST IDEA
OUT THERE, THAT IS UNTIL MY RECENT DEVELOPMENT WHICH I NOW DESCRIBE.
THIS SYSTEM IS BASED UPON THE IDEA OF FIRST SORTING OUT THE NUMBER OF CONTROLS
IN ACES & KINGS THAT RESPONDER HAS IN ORDER TO PROVIDE THE 2C OPENER WITH SOME
IMMEDIATE IDEA AS TO THE COMBINED NUMBER OF CONTROLS THE PARTNERSHIP ACTUALLY
POSSESSES, THEREBY ENABLING HIM TO PROCEED IN ASCERTAINING WHETHER OR NOT THE
PARTNERSHIP HAS ALL SUITS STOPPED & FOR THE PURPOSES OF TARGETING A 3NT CONTRACT.
THE THREE KEY POSSIBLE & CRITICAL RESPONSES FOR RESPONDER TO IMMEDIATELY MAKE
ARE:
2NT SAYS RESPONDER HAS 4 OR MORE CONTROLS IN ACES & KINGS.
2D SAYS RESPONDER HAS 2 OR 3 CONTROLS.
ANY OTHER BID SAYS RESPONDER HAS LESS THAN 2 CONTROLS.
NOW WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
WITH 22+ HIGH CARD POINTS, OPENER IS BOUND TO HAVE AT LEAST 4 CONTROLS.
AND THERE ARE ONLY 8 CONTROLS.
SO IF RESPONDER TELLS OPENER THAT HE HAS 4 OR MORE CONTROLS, IT IS
CLEAR THAT TOGETHER THEY HAVE ALL SUITS STOPPED & CAN TARGET NO-TRUMP.
AND IF RESPONDER TELLS OPENER THAT HE HAS 2 OR 3 CONTROLS, THEN THERE
IS STILL A GOOD CHANCE THEY HAVE ALL SUITS STOPPED & CAN STILL TARGET
A CONTRACT IN NO-TRUMP. THIS IS THE BASIS OF THE SYSTEM.
OKAY, SO WHAT IF RESPONDER HAS FEWER THAN 2 CONTROLS? HE STILL HAS POINTS
TO CONSIDER ALONG WITH HIS HAND'S SHAPE. AND SO WE RETURN TO A SYSTEM OF
BIDDING TO DESCRIBE THE COMBINATION OF RESPONDER'S POINTS & HAND SHAPE.
BUT FIRST WE MUST PROVIDE THE ENTRY BIDS BELOW 2NT SUCH THAT IF OPENER HAS
A 22-24 POINT BALANCED HAND, THEN HE CAN STILL BID 2NT WHICH MEANS STAYMAN
& JACOBY TRANSFERS CAN BE UTILIZED BY RESPONDER. SO WHAT ARE THESE ENTRY
BIDS THAT RESPONDER FIRST MAKES. TO BEGIN, THEY ARE ALL EFFECTIVELY FORCING
IN THE FORM OF A 2H BID TO TRANFER OPENER TO 2S, OR A 2S BID IS ASKING
OPENER IF HE HAS A 4-CARD MINOR (MINOR SUIT STAYMAN), OR A 3C BID TO TRANSFER
OPENER TO 3D, OR A 3D BID TO TRANSFER OPENER TO 3H. THESE ENTRY BIDS ARE
ALL FORCING BIDS WHICH OPENER CAN REFUSE BY BIDDING SOMETHING ELSE TO SHOW
A 25+ POINT HOLDING (IE, GAME IN HIS OWN HAND). BUT IF OPENER COMPLYS WITH
MAKING THE BID RESPONDER SEEKS, THEN RESPONDER NOW HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO
TELL OPENER WHAT HE REALLY HAS IN TERMS OF POINTS & SHAPE. IS HE COMPLETELY
WEAK WITH NO SHAPE AND POINTS? OR IS HE SEMI-WEAK HAVING 6 OR MORE POINTS
TO SHOOT FOR GAME?
AT THIS POINT YOU MIGHT ASK WHY WOULD RESPONDER NEED 6+ POINTS FOR GAME IF
THE 2C OPENER HAS 22 POINTS? AND THIS IS WHERE I HAVE MADE A SIGNIFICANT
ALTERATION IN THE BIDDING SYSTEM THAT BECONS BACK TO THE DAYS OF OLD.
MY 2C OPENING IN NO LONGER A MINIMUM OF 22 POINTS. I HAVE REDUCED IT TO
19 POINTS. WHY? BECAUSE WITH 19 POINTS THE OPENER IS ALMOST CERTAIN TO
HAVE AT LEAST 3 CONTROLS, AND THE RESPONSES I HAVE SET UP STILL APPLY
FOR THE PURPOSES ALREADY MENTIONED, IE TARGETING A 3NT GAME CONTRACT.
THERE IS AN ADDED BENEFIT OF THIS MINIMUM 19 POINT REQUIREMENT, & THAT
IS THAT ALL JUMPS & ALL REVERSES ARE RESTRICTED TO THE 16-18 POINT RANGE,
THEREBY MAKING A MUCH WIDER SELECTION OF BID POSSIBILITIES IN THE 16-18
POINT RANGE FOR HANDS THAT ARE OPENED IN A SUIT AT THE 1-LEVEL.
SO THIS IS THE COMPLETE LOGIC BEHIND MY 2C RESPONSE SYSTEM.
THERE IS MUCH MORE DETAIL DESCRIPTION ON MY CHART SET.
ENJOY.
I keep refining the weak bids. So many possibilities, so little room. But I think this finally does it.
UPDATE: There are two options you can use for the WEAK RESPONSES: The MINOR SUIT STAYMAN OPTION or the SIMPLE 2S TRANSFER OPTION. Both are shown here.
Bridge is a game of CONSTRAINED RANDOMNESS, ie, CHAOS. I wonder what it would look like with a 5th suit called "Bells" & a 5th honor called the "Princes"?
OVERVIEW OF MY 2C OPENING RESPONSE SYSTEM
WITH THE ADVENT OF WEAK 2 OPENINGS, THE STRONG UNBALANCED 22+ POINT 2C OPENING
WAS CREATED. THE REASON 22 POINTS WAS MADE THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT WAS BECAUSE
PLAYERS HAD PREVIOUSLY CONSIDERED THE 1-LEVEL OPENING OF A SUIT FOLLOWED BY A
JUMP SHIFT TO BE 19-21 POINTS, WHICH WAS ALWAYS CONSIDERED SACRED. WITH THE
MINIMUM UNBALANCED STRONG OPENING AT 22 POINTS, IT MADE SENSE TO MAKE THE 2C
OPENING FOLLOWED BY A 2 NO-TRUMP (2NT) BID TO BE 22-24 POINTS. THAT MADE IT
POSSIBLE TO REDEFINE THE 2NT OPENING FROM 22-24 POINTS DOWN TO 19 TO 21 POINTS.
WITH SOME QUIBBLING OVER 1 OR 2 POINTS, THE 2NT BID WAS THEN REDEFINED TO 20-21
POINTS. WITH 1NT BEING REDEFINED TO 15-17 POINTS & A SLIVER POINT RANGE OF 18-19
POINTS FOR BALANCE HANDS.
AS PEOPLE STARTED USING THE 2C OPENING, THEY BEGAN FINDING DIFFICULTY IN BEING
ABLE TO ACCURATELY RESPOND TO IT. AT FIRST A SYSTEM OF "STEP RESPONSES" WERE
TRIED WHICH RESPESENTED RESPONDER'S POINT COUNT RANGE. BUT THESE WERE ABANDONED
TO A 2D "WAITING" BID TO GIVE MORE ROOM TO OPENER TO DESCRIBE HIS HAND. NEITHER
OF THESE HAVE PROVEN TO BE OF MUCH BENEFIT. THEN SOMEONE CAME UP WITH THE IDEA
OF "CONTROL" RESPONSES, AN EXCELLENT IDEA WHEREBY RESPONDER ATTEMPTED TO
COMMUNICATE HIS HOLDING IN ACES & KINGS. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT THE SYSTEM
OF ASSIGNING "CONTROL POINTS" OF 1 FOR A KING & 2 FOR AN ACE, AND THEN ADDING
THE POINTS TOGETHER IS NOT VERY EFFICIENT. BUT IT IT STILL THE BEST IDEA
OUT THERE, THAT IS UNTIL MY RECENT DEVELOPMENT WHICH I NOW DESCRIBE.
THIS SYSTEM IS BASED UPON THE IDEA OF FIRST SORTING OUT THE NUMBER OF CONTROLS
IN ACES & KINGS THAT RESPONDER HAS IN ORDER TO PROVIDE THE 2C OPENER WITH SOME
IMMEDIATE IDEA AS TO THE COMBINED NUMBER OF CONTROLS THE PARTNERSHIP ACTUALLY
POSSESSES, THEREBY ENABLING HIM TO PROCEED IN ASCERTAINING WHETHER OR NOT THE
PARTNERSHIP HAS ALL SUITS STOPPED & FOR THE PURPOSES OF TARGETING A 3NT CONTRACT.
THE THREE KEY POSSIBLE & CRITICAL RESPONSES FOR RESPONDER TO IMMEDIATELY MAKE
ARE:
2NT SAYS RESPONDER HAS 4 OR MORE CONTROLS IN ACES & KINGS.
2D SAYS RESPONDER HAS 2 OR 3 CONTROLS.
ANY OTHER BID SAYS RESPONDER HAS LESS THAN 2 CONTROLS.
NOW WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
WITH 22+ HIGH CARD POINTS, OPENER IS BOUND TO HAVE AT LEAST 4 CONTROLS.
AND THERE ARE ONLY 8 CONTROLS.
SO IF RESPONDER TELLS OPENER THAT HE HAS 4 OR MORE CONTROLS, IT IS
CLEAR THAT TOGETHER THEY HAVE ALL SUITS STOPPED & CAN TARGET NO-TRUMP.
AND IF RESPONDER TELLS OPENER THAT HE HAS 2 OR 3 CONTROLS, THEN THERE
IS STILL A GOOD CHANCE THEY HAVE ALL SUITS STOPPED & CAN STILL TARGET
A CONTRACT IN NO-TRUMP. THIS IS THE BASIS OF THE SYSTEM.
OKAY, SO WHAT IF RESPONDER HAS FEWER THAN 2 CONTROLS? HE STILL HAS POINTS
TO CONSIDER ALONG WITH HIS HAND'S SHAPE. AND SO WE RETURN TO A SYSTEM OF
BIDDING TO DESCRIBE THE COMBINATION OF RESPONDER'S POINTS & HAND SHAPE.
BUT FIRST WE MUST PROVIDE THE ENTRY BIDS BELOW 2NT SUCH THAT IF OPENER HAS
A 22-24 POINT BALANCED HAND, THEN HE CAN STILL BID 2NT WHICH MEANS STAYMAN
& JACOBY TRANSFERS CAN BE UTILIZED BY RESPONDER. SO WHAT ARE THESE ENTRY
BIDS THAT RESPONDER FIRST MAKES. TO BEGIN, THEY ARE ALL EFFECTIVELY FORCING
IN THE FORM OF A 2H BID TO TRANFER OPENER TO 2S, OR A 2S BID IS ASKING
OPENER IF HE HAS A 4-CARD MINOR (MINOR SUIT STAYMAN), OR A 3C BID TO TRANSFER
OPENER TO 3D, OR A 3D BID TO TRANSFER OPENER TO 3H. THESE ENTRY BIDS ARE
ALL FORCING BIDS WHICH OPENER CAN REFUSE BY BIDDING SOMETHING ELSE TO SHOW
A 25+ POINT HOLDING (IE, GAME IN HIS OWN HAND). BUT IF OPENER COMPLYS WITH
MAKING THE BID RESPONDER SEEKS, THEN RESPONDER NOW HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO
TELL OPENER WHAT HE REALLY HAS IN TERMS OF POINTS & SHAPE. IS HE COMPLETELY
WEAK WITH NO SHAPE AND POINTS? OR IS HE SEMI-WEAK HAVING 6 OR MORE POINTS
TO SHOOT FOR GAME?
AT THIS POINT YOU MIGHT ASK WHY WOULD RESPONDER NEED 6+ POINTS FOR GAME IF
THE 2C OPENER HAS 22 POINTS? AND THIS IS WHERE I HAVE MADE A SIGNIFICANT
ALTERATION IN THE BIDDING SYSTEM THAT BECONS BACK TO THE DAYS OF OLD.
MY 2C OPENING IN NO LONGER A MINIMUM OF 22 POINTS. I HAVE REDUCED IT TO
19 POINTS. WHY? BECAUSE WITH 19 POINTS THE OPENER IS ALMOST CERTAIN TO
HAVE AT LEAST 3 CONTROLS, AND THE RESPONSES I HAVE SET UP STILL APPLY
FOR THE PURPOSES ALREADY MENTIONED, IE TARGETING A 3NT GAME CONTRACT.
THERE IS AN ADDED BENEFIT OF THIS MINIMUM 19 POINT REQUIREMENT, & THAT
IS THAT ALL JUMPS & ALL REVERSES ARE RESTRICTED TO THE 16-18 POINT RANGE,
THEREBY MAKING A MUCH WIDER SELECTION OF BID POSSIBILITIES IN THE 16-18
POINT RANGE FOR HANDS THAT ARE OPENED IN A SUIT AT THE 1-LEVEL.
SO THIS IS THE COMPLETE LOGIC BEHIND MY 2C RESPONSE SYSTEM.
THERE IS MUCH MORE DETAIL DESCRIPTION ON MY CHART SET.
ENJOY.

Is there common ground in the belief in epigenetics, ie, the belief that environment can change genes & characteristics? It is thought that dogs & cats were domesticated as a result of epigenetics. Liberals believe that by condemning "hate" the epigentics of the environment will produce a more peaceful humanity. That says nothing for "justice", but then who needs justice if everybody loves everybody . On the other hand, conservatives believe that by condemning homosexuality the epigenetics will produce a more hetero-sexual humanity in line with the rest of nature. And then there is C S LEWIS who said, "To set one thing up as the course you must follow at all costs is to become a radical, cruel, lying and treacherous person". That being said, the course I choose to follow at all cost is the Bible. So I guess that makes me a radical, cruel, lying, & treacherous person, if not a person to be targeted by all of these other extremist radicals pursuing their own interests at all cost.

Given the corrosive & lethal political environment, mostly inspired by the losers of the Presidential election, can the American people believe anything they hear, including the so-called news of the major media companies who decided to become part of the mix?
Are the most recent allegations of Obama's wire tapping of Trump
true or not? Is Trump a nut-job as the lying liberal left would like to paint him? Or does he have evidence and supporting testimony by REAL PEOPLE? Who are the participants in the debate and what are their sources?
Marco Rubio just appeared on Meet The Press & gave RESPONSIBLE ANSWERS CONCERNING THE SENATE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE WHICH HE HEADS to Chuck Todd WHO WOULD UNDERMINE EVEN THAT COMMITTEE OF ELECTED OFFICIALS BY INSISTING THAT A SO-CALLED INDEPENDENT PROSECUTOR BE ASSIGNED TO TAKE ON THE GOVERNMENT'S LEGITIMATE DUTY TO DETERMINE THE FACTS OF ALL ALLEGATIONS NOW FLYING ABOUT. Chuck and his liberal followers would advance the idea that such an alleged "independent" would be free of political bias WHICH IS ABSOLUTE NONSENSE & BULL SHIT, reinforcing the idea of a "WITCH HUNT" which Todd himself rejected. Hell, we can't even find judges who are unbiased. A committee is the best answer.
Here is what we know to be true & what may be the trigger for Trump's allegations.
Radio host Mark Levin used his Thursday evening show to outline the known steps taken by President Barack Obama’s administration in its last months to undermine Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and, later, his new administration.
Levin called Obama’s effort “police state” tactics, and suggested that Obama’s actions, rather than conspiracy theories about alleged Russian interference in the presidential election to help Trump, should be the target of congressional investigation.
Drawing on sources including the New York Times and the Washington Post, Levin described the case against Obama so far, based on what is already publicly known. The following is an expanded version of that case, including events that Levin did not mention specifically but are important to the overall timeline.
1. June 2016: FISA request. The Obama administration files a request with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) to monitor communications involving Donald Trump and several advisers. The request, uncharacteristically, is denied.
2. July: Russia joke. Wikileaks releases emails from the Democratic National Committee that show an effort to prevent Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) from winning the presidential nomination. In a press conference, Donald Trump refers to Hillary Clinton’s own missing emails, joking: “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 e-mails that are missing.” That remark becomes the basis for accusations by Clinton and the media that Trump invited further hacking.
3. October: Podesta emails. In October, Wikileaks releases the emails of Clinton campaign chair John Podesta, rolling out batches every day until the election, creating new mini-scandals. The Clinton campaign blames Trump and the Russians.
4. October: FISA request. The Obama administration submits a new, narrow request to the FISA court, now focused on a computer server in Trump Tower suspected of links to Russian banks. No evidence is found — but the wiretaps continue, ostensibly for national security reasons, Andrew McCarthy at National Review later notes. The Obama administration is now monitoring an opposing presidential campaign using the high-tech surveillance powers of the federal intelligence services.
5. January 2017: Buzzfeed/CNN dossier. Buzzfeed releases, and CNN reports, a supposed intelligence “dossier” compiled by a foreign former spy. It purports to show continuous contact between Russia and the Trump campaign, and says that the Russians have compromising information about Trump. None of the allegations can be verified and some are proven false. Several media outlets claim that they had been aware of the dossier for months and that it had been circulating in Washington.
6. January: Obama expands NSA sharing. As Michael Walsh later notes, and as the New York Times reports, the outgoing Obama administration “expanded the power of the National Security Agency to share globally intercepted personal communications with the government’s 16 other intelligence agencies before applying privacy protections.” The new powers, and reduced protections, could make it easier for intelligence on private citizens to be circulated improperly or leaked.
7. January: Times report. The New York Times reports, on the eve of Inauguration Day, that several agencies — the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Treasury Department are monitoring several associates of the Trump campaign suspected of Russian ties. Other news outlets also report the exisentence of “a multiagency working group to coordinate investigations across the government,” though it is unclear how they found out, since the investigations would have been secret and involved classified information.
8. February: Mike Flynn scandal. Reports emerge that the FBI intercepted a conversation in 2016 between future National Security Adviser Michael Flynn — then a private citizen — and Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. The intercept supposedly was part of routine spying on the ambassador, not monitoring of the Trump campaign. The FBI transcripts reportedly show the two discussing Obama’s newly-imposed sanctions on Russia, though Flynn earlier denied discussing them. Sally Yates, whom Trump would later fire as acting Attorney General for insubordination, is involved in the investigation. In the end, Flynn resigns over having misled Vice President Mike Pence (perhaps inadvertently) about the content of the conversation.
9. February: Times claims extensive Russian contacts. The New York Times cites “four current and former American officials” in reporting that the Trump campaign had “repeated contacts with senior Russian intelligence officials. The Trump campaign denies the claims — and the Times admits that there is “no evidence” of coordination between the campaign and the Russians. The White House and some congressional Republicans begin to raise questions about illegal intelligence leaks.
10. March: the Washington Post targets Jeff Sessions. The Washington Post reports that Attorney General Jeff Sessions had contact twice with the Russian ambassador during the campaign — once at a Heritage Foundation event and once at a meeting in Sessions’s Senate office. The Post suggests that the two meetings contradict Sessions’s testimony at his confirmation hearings that he had no contacts with the Russians, though in context (not presented by the Post) it was clear he meant in his capacity as a campaign surrogate, and that he was responding to claims in the “dossier” of ongoing contacts. The New York Times, in covering the story, adds that the Obama White House “rushed to preserve” intelligence related to alleged Russian links with the Trump campaign. By “preserve” it really means “disseminate”: officials spread evidence throughout other government agencies “to leave a clear trail of intelligence for government investigators” and perhaps the media as well.
In summary: the Obama administration sought, and eventually obtained, authorization to eavesdrop on the Trump campaign; continued monitoring the Trump team even when no evidence of wrongdoing was found; then relaxed the NSA rules to allow evidence to be shared widely within the government, virtually ensuring that the information, including the conversations of private citizens, would be leaked to the media.
Levin called the effort a “silent coup” by the Obama administration and demanded that it be investigated.
So who is Mark Levin?
Mark Reed Levin (/ləˈvɪn/; born September 21, 1957) is an American lawyer, author, and the host of syndicated radio show The Mark Levin Show. Levin worked in the administration of President Ronald Reagan and was a chief of staff for Attorney General Edwin Meese. He is president of the Landmark Legal Foundation, has authored six books, and contributes commentary to various media outlets such as National Review Online. On September 1, 2015, Levin was named Editor-in-Chief of Conservative Review.[1]
So it is perfectly clear that Trump is not alone in his charges, being supported by a forthright and credible source. What is clear is that the conservative movement that elected Trump has far more guts in being forthright in presenting the facts supported by DISCLOSED SOURCES than the lying liberal left & its phony hypocritical news media with its UNDISCLOSED SOURCES. The Democratic Party is attacking with a conspiracy theory that goes beyond the pale of reason & trying to build a case based upon that theory, all supported by UNIDENTIFIED SOURCES OF INFORMATION WHICH IS SUSPICIOUS IN AND OF ITSELF. UNTIL THE MEDIA HAS THE GUTS TO REVEAL THOSE SOURCES, WE CAN ONLY SURMISE THAT THE MEDIA IS BEING UNFAIR & UNTRUTHFUL. AND UNTIL THOSE SOURCES TAKE THE STAND IN THE COURT OF PUBLIC OPINION & PROVIDE ADEQUATE EVIDENCE, WE CAN BELIEVE NOTHING BEING ALLEGED. Either have the guts to come forth into the light with your allegations & sources or get the hell out & stop tearing this country apart with your WITCH HUNTS.
Until there is clarity on the motivations, perceptions and allegations being put forth, the smartest thing the public can do is to listen for actual facts & filter out all of the bull shit advanced by either political party and their supporting media.
And nevertheless, if Obama did in fact put a wiretap on Trump, then that would by far surpass the bad-faith of Nixon in Watergate. That is far more serious than a few opponents of democrats ( republicans) having meetings with Russians, which they themselves have done in the past. At at this point we need to ask WHY WOULD A FISA COURT BE ASKED TO ALLOW WIRE TAPS ON POLITICAL ADVERSARIES who pose no national security threat other than to challenge the incumbents? The answer can only be to suppress, oppress & maintain power consistent with McCarthyism. If, on the other hand, Trump's allegations of wiretapping are false, then we need to question the mentality & motivations behind those allegations, before going through any process of impeachment.
Either way, we have a REAL PROBLEM HOUSTON which threatens to destroy good faith in and within our government.

The HYPOCRISY OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY is perfectly clear. Hillary & Bill Clinton (while she was Secretary of State) brokered a deal whereby the Russians acquired access to North American Uranium deposits. Yet not a damn thing was said about it from the Democratic Party. But now, if any member of Team Trump even comes within eye sight of a Russian, they are accused of underhanded dealing. NOTHING BUT A BUNCH OF GARBAGE AS USUAL FROM THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

The treatment of any human being as a mere commodity is the work of Satan. Historically, such mistreatment has befallen upon individuals as much, if not more, by members of their own ethnicity as by members of another ethnicity.
But the denial of any alleged rights, including the alleged right to life, imposed upon violent, criminal human beings is entirely warranted & justifiable when based upon the need for the protection of a civil democratic society.
That said, it should be up to each culture to discipline its own. When there are RADICAL CHRISTIAN TERRORISTS, they need to be curtailed by the Christian community. When there are RADICAL MEXICAN TERRORISTS, they need to be curtailed by the Mexican culture. When there are RADICAL WHITE TERRORISTS, they need to be curtailed by White ethnics. When there are RADICAL BLACK TERRORISTS, they need to be curtailed by Black ethnics. AND WHEN THERE ARE "RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISTS", THEY NEED TO BE CURTAILED BY THE MUSLIM COMMUNITY. The absence of the application of this premise is an invitation for other cultures/nations to justifiably deny alleged rights & intervene when the resulting chaos spills over into those other cultures/countries.
The human being presumably has a brain & is capable of controlling his own behavior responsibly, justly & fairly. As a citizen of any given country, it is up to the individual to live & die within that country no matter the causes or consequences. Dual citizenship is absolute nonsense & idiocy in support of greed. If by nature you have a choice between two loyalties, then you should choose one and abandon the other. "You cannot serve God and mammon".
Unlike days of old, there is no longer a new frontier to run to. The world is now a very crowded place, & it is unfair to seek asylum in or invade other countries. One should either take care of things at home or suffer the consequences without imposing upon other peoples. If your nation's population exceeds its borders, then that is your problem. If your nation has a despot for a ruler, then that is your problem. If your nation lives beyond its means, then that is your problem. Fortune seekers should do so within their own borders first & without exploiting as did the slave traders. But if your nation suffers from a lack of resources due to nature, then international compassion is in order. Beyond that, your bed is made, so live and stay in it without imposing upon others.

Will the Computer Revolution be the ultimate end of human existence?
The world is not the same as the one I once knew. What was once an environment where human jobs were plenty has now been overcome by a machine environment that has replaced almost every human job in information gathering & reporting. Accounting, real estate, publishing, movie production & distribution, news reporting & more are just a few examples of jobs that have been significantly impacted.
And now we see what was once the small science of numerical control turning into robotics driven by artificial intelligence. Robotics have already entered the manufacturing environment & portend to become the answer to human physical effort. One might reasonably surmise that the day robots start actually "DESIGNING" robots is the day humanity will perish. It all depends upon WHO is doing the programming and what their intent is.
That being said, a ONE-WORLD GLOBAL GOVERNMENT is to be viewed with a great amount of suspicion, for he who controls the robots (as well as nuclear arms) can be a very, very dangerous person. Giving up on one's national identity/sovereignty & belief in Christ is tantamount to mass suicide.

This analysis is EXACTLY CORRECT."National Identity" is at war with "A New World Order". The question is, WHICH IS CORRECT?
There is an old saying "Familiarity breeds contempt". Further more, there can be no diversity if everyone acts and behaves the same. And it is quite clear that the mores of one culture are more often than not found to be offensive to another culture. This would imply that "individualism" is the correct view of things & supports the views of the individualists & nationalists. On the other hand, no one wants invasions (violent or peaceful) from another country or another world war, which would support the views of the "new worlders". So which should be the correct perspective?
The answer can be found in the makeup of our own bodies. Each organ exists as its own sovereign entity, yet the entire body is drawn together to form a powerful operating system. So it should be with the human occupation of this planet. It does not mean that nationalism is abolished. It does not mean that everybody must behave the same as everyone else. It does mean than nations are allowed to exist just as the body has different organs. It does mean that the cells from one organ must not invade those of another organ. It also means that each nation must be responsible for containing its own growth.
In other words, "compartmentalization" should be a key point of the "new worlder's" visions. You don't shove all of your children into one bedroom do you? "No', you allow each child their own bedroom. And you insist that each child respect the other children's space. Nations exist for cultural habitat and growth within their borders. Invasions from other cultures destroy a nation.
Today, the bellicose behavior of the "new worlders" appears to be creating more disorder than order. Certainly "new worlder's" must recognize that even Hitler offered a "new world order", one that sought power and control over the entire world. There has always been & always will be such vile individuals. Better that they not be given the world's keys on a silver platter. That said, let the muslims have their own native lands., let the Mexicans stay in their own native land, etc.. As for those who say "Where is you compassion", I say "Mine is with my own & neighbors, not with some foreigner who I know nothing about". It is their parents who bare the responsibility for their existence, not some total stranger. Their complaints belong with their parents.

There seems to be a mentality that says "Because I am a woman" or "Because I am black" or "Because I am this way or that", then "This is the reason I am mistreated". DO YOU NOT SEE THAT YOU ARE STEREO TYPING YOURSELF AND ASKING OTHERS TO PIGEON HOLE YOU INTO SOME DEPENDENT CATEGORY WORTHY OF LESS RESPECT?
Where it can be true there are those who use such shallow differences to mistreat others, it can also be true that there are those who can use such differences to obtain unwarranted justification for bad behavior, reward &/or violence. It is better that neither go there in the first place. But once a ruckus does ensue, then justice must be called into play to determine which party started it & did the most damage for the purpose of imposing commensurate penalties, not for giving out free rewards such as $1,000,000 for not being allowed to attend a prom because of one's sexual preferences..
The fault is with the court's inappropriate use of the word "discrimination" where it should have used the words "unjust dispartitization".

Behavior based upon a presumption of guilt by association (REGARDLESS OF GENDER OR SKIN COLOR OR FAMILY MEMBER) is faulty, but behavior based upon a suspicion arising from an association is reasonable. That said, Judge Jeanine, I would prefer that you not limit your condemnation by stereotyping men. We know you are smarter than that. But then again, perhaps I misconstrued your message as pertaining only to those women who do stereotype men.
There are already enough bigoted misogynists and misandrists in the world. We all have terrible experiences with individuals of the opposite sex, but for the most part, that is little reason to stereotype them or behave violently against them. You may think you have the greatest of reasons to murder your spouse, but that is absolutely wrong. I know, because I have lived it, having had the reasons to do so myself, but not, & having witnessed first hand the murder of my sister by her husband. IT IS SIMPLY WRONG & EVIL.
It is far too late for any justice on the part of my senior family members who never saw justice. I could turn around and say "Screw you all" & wish upon you the same fate as befell my family, but for the sake of future generations I fully support capital punishment when it is warranted. Given the outright negligence of our courts today, capital punishment for well proven/convicted murderers is an outright necessity.
"You might think that love of humanity is a safe bet, but when your entire focus is upon one single cause & you make that the one thing you must follow at all cost without justice, then you become a cruel and treacherous person".

The Challenge Of Living On This Planet.
The old movie, The Omega Man, foretold of our coming fate, wherein a desperate & greedy society kills all possible solutions to its own salvation.
Extreme environmentalists are completely against pipe lines. Perhaps they would like to tear up the millions of miles of pipelines in the world carrying aviation fuel & natural gas underground. That being said, when you can see the smog & air pollution hanging over a city, then its time to realize that humans do cause a lot of pollution, & possibly impact global climate change, which will eventually choke us all to death, if not fry us. Alternative non-fossil fuel energy is A MUST, but without killing people in their long established livelihoods. That said, it should be clear that coal mining become an out-dated profession & that alternative similar jobs be put in place to accommodate would-be coal miners.
But then again, we have automation which requires vast amounts of energy & is a job killer, especially in manufacturing. Because automation makes it possible for one person to a lot more work, & because the world of humans just can't stop populating, it would seem that a global economic crisis is on the table. How to prevent that from happening in a just & non-destructive manner ought be our biggest concern, NEXT TO PRESERVING OUR OWN NATIONAL & CHRISTIAN IDENTITY. Curtailment of global population growth is certainly in order at this point. On the other hand, we need to rely upon technology & the proper moral principles to mitigate our own built-in predisposition to consume & pollute.

The trouble with liberals is they would rather make friends with a foreign alien than get along with their neighbors. And companies don't give a crap about borders, because they think it dents their income.
"We are a nation of immigrants". BULL SHIT. We are a nation of ORIGINAL MIGRANTS & LEGAL IMMIGRANTS. Do liberals know the difference between a "migrant" and an "immigrant"? There is a difference between simple migration & immigration. Migration is something birds do, as did the Pilgrims & colonists. Immigration is the international movement of people into a destination country of which they are not natives or where they do not possess citizenship in order to settle or reside there, especially as permanent residents or naturalized citizens, or to take-up employment as a migrant worker or temporarily as a foreign. "Immigration" is a LEGAL PROCESS, where "Migration" is not.
No matter, today's liberal would fret and ponder how to take care of some invader more than how to take care of his own neighbor or countryman. He is no less than a traitor when he insist that his neighbor (who he cares nothing about) take care of unwanted foreigners. In the most simple & civil of terms, that is an inappropriate discourteous imposition upon neighbors & uncivil behavior. But liberals know nothing of such things. Even in the parable of The Good Samaritan, the Samaritan did not impose upon the inn keeper as liberals would impose upon our society. You are no Christian if you forsake your neighbors, your countrymen, and your nation in pursuit of your own presumed self-righteousness.

When you do not acknowledge & resolve the contradictions in your own opinions as evidenced by the relative truth, you can be neither righteous nor just. Case in point: people who argue for alleged women's &/or homosexual rights and Sharia law in the same breath.
With respect to past racial history, two wrongs don't make it right, but their observation should give us sight. Case in point: Birth Of A Nation vs. William Monroe Trotter's exclusion of caucasians from NAACP. Both were wrong. Segregation based upon skin color in publicly supported offices & places is segregation & wrong no matter which way you cut it. But segregation based upon ideological & cultural differences is justifiable, as evidenced by the existence of nations.
Birth Of A Nation vs. William Monroe Trotter showed us that there is no such thing as the right to unfettered freedom.
A NATION HAS THE RIGHT TO DEFINE THE LIMITS OF FREEDOMS THROUGH LEGITIMATE DEMOCRATIC PROCESSES, EXCLUDING UNREASONABLE OPPRESSION/SUPPRESSION & FREE FROM THE TYRANNY OF AN UNFETTERED COURT. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, & freedom to protest, all must have their limits. That being said, it should be the right of any individual to refuse participation in anything, including coming out to greet Caesar as did the early Christians.

Ted Cooper
The answer is "NO"., it is not un-Christian. People take individual passages from the Bible & use them to their own advantage, as opposed to using them for the good of their immediate neighbors. The most obvious individual Biblical passages are those of the Good Samaritan & "Love your NEIGHBOR as yourself". How are you being a Christian following these passages by helping far away distant peoples and COMPLETELY DISREGARDING YOUR IMMEDIATE NEIGHBORS? You are not. Furthermore, the Bible says we are "Made in the Image of God". Our own bodies have an immune system to rid itself of foreign entities. Having a national immune system is NOT UN-CHRISTIAN. As C S LEWIS said "If you have a single cause in loving humanity without justice, then you will become a cruel and treacherous person".

Is there any such thing as a JUST & FAIR "DEMOCRATIC REVOLUTION"? Or is "democracy" always at odds with "revolutions"?
"Democracy" is seen as being peaceful. But "revolutions" are usually seen as being violent & unjust, albeit "democracy" is seen as being a peaceful "revolution". So it would seem that a "revolution" within a "democratic society" is really a violent overthrow of "democracy" and anarchistic in nature. The most current day example is the Ukraine wherein the democratic government was overthrown by western leaning anarchists.
That being said, what about a "peaceful revolution" taking place under the guise of being a democracy, appearing as being the slow and deliberate, but unlawful, dilution of the constituents of a society? Such an occurrence must be a quasi-revolution being neither peaceful nor violent, but chaotic, inflammatory and UNJUST, because it is based upon cheating. (I am sure the reader can identify the current day parties to which I am referring.) The reaction to such cheating must be strong enough to suppress it without overkill in much the same manner as our bodily immune system reacts to foreign invasion. But to not react at all against the invasion is an unjust betrayal & hypocrisy, contrary to Christian teaching which says our beings, including our bodies, are in "the image of God".

Are you a "HYDROPHOBE"?
In chemistry, hydrophobicity is the physical property of a molecule (known as a hydrophobe) that is seemingly repelled from a mass of water.[1] (Strictly speaking, there is no repulsive force involved; it is an absence of attraction.) In contrast, hydrophiles are attracted to water.
Hydrophobic molecules tend to be nonpolar and, thus, prefer other neutral molecules and nonpolar solvents. Because water molecules are polar, hydrophobes do not dissolve well among them. Hydrophobic molecules in water often cluster together, forming micelles. Water on hydrophobic surfaces will exhibit a high contact angle.
So if you are a phobic of any kind, you prefer other NEUTRAL entities, SHOWING NO PREFERENCE FOR (OR OBSESSION WITH) ANY PARTICULAR THING OR GROUP OF PEOPLE. SO IT WOULD SEEM LIBERALS HAVE BEEN INACCURATELY USING THE SUFFIX "PHOBIC" IN THEIR ATTEMPTS TO SLANDER AND SPREAD THEIR HYPOCRITICAL HATRED & BIGOTRY.

The DOUBLE TALK of the liberal mindset is unintelligible. On the one hand they claim to believe in "democracy" which means government of the people, by the people & for the people. On the other hand they decry Trump's election as appealing to "populists", which they would have us believe to be a bad thing. A "populist" is one who seeks to represent the interests of ordinary people. In other words, the liberal mindset is against "ordinary people" governing themselves via democracy. Yet the liberal mindset has no problem in claiming that Hillary won the "popular" vote which tends to suggest that the liberal mindset is in fact "populist" itself. Obviously there is hypocrisy at work within the liberal mindset.
In addition, the liberal mindset calls for "unity", but condemns "nationalism". So how do you have "unity" without "nationalism"?
Is all of humanity suppose to be unified, and if so, how, when the liberal mindset continues to praise "diversity" which is divisive?
Once again the hypocrisy of the liberal mindset sticks out like a soar thumb.

WHAT IS SPACE-TIME?
When there is so much of something, it can give the appearance of nothing else being there. An example is snow blindness. And so it might be with space-time.
The Michelson–Morley experiment was a scientific experiment to find the presence and properties of a substance called aether, a substance believed to fill empty space. The experiment was done by Albert Michelson and Edward Morley in 1887. The results of this experiment led to Albert Einstein's Theory Of Relativity. The question is, "Did Einstein's Theory invalidate the proposed existence of aether?". Today, current ideas seem to indicate not, given the discussions of "The FABRIC OF SPACE".
When it comes to "time", it seems reasonable to say that "time" cannot exist without there being motion. Motion requires "forces" between at least two distinct objects resulting in the change of their relative "spacial positions" as measured within our 3-directional Cubic Cartesian coordinate system (as opposed to a Dodecahedronal ordinate system or Tetrahedronal ordinate system ). So it would seem that in addition to two material bodies, there is a third element of space itself which may itself be a real material object & subject to enclosure. But then again, it may be that our perceptions of "straight lines and points" which define our reference systems do not really exist & are only illusions, given that gravity is seen as being capable of bending space-time.

EXACTLY !! The propagators of slander should be prosecuted as criminals. That includes Buzz Feed, CNN, AND THOSE IN THE INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES THAT MADE PUBLIC THIS 35 PAGE SO-CALLED "COMPANY INTELLIGENCE REPORT" THAT ORIGINATED WITH AN EX BRITISH MI6 AGENT HIRED BY TRUMP OPPONENTS TO DIG UP DIRT ON TRUMP. Given the voluminous amount of information in the report, it would seem that this ex MI6 agent has more information on Russian intelligence and Trump's alleged treason than our own intelligent services.
This "COMPANY INTELL REPORT" reads like a log with 17 entrees beginning in June 2016 and ending in Dec 2016. The very first entree of the report alleges that since 2008 Mr Trump has been seen by Russia as a potential presidential candidate & began building a dossier on him. It alleges that Trump and his staff have engaged in intelligence sharing with Russia since 2008. Certainly, were this true our own intelligence community would have that knowledge & would have prevented the Trump candidacy from the very beginning. The report further alleges that, since 2013 when Trump was alleged to have committed lewd acts in a Russian hotel, the Russian FSB has been blackmailing Trump, turning him AND HIS STAFF into a puppet of the Russian FSB. It is represented that such information in this "COMPANY INTELL REPORT" was gleaned as a result of the EX BRITISH MI6 AGENT'S numerous & unidentified contacts with "trusted compatriots" high up in the Russian spy agency. Where there is a lot of "source x" said this, & "source y" said that, IT IS NOTHING BUT A BUNCH OF HEARSAY THAT WOULD BE INADMISSIBLE IN COURT,ie, NO FACTS. HOW WOULD EX MI6 AGENT KNOW FOR SURE THAT HE IS NOT BEING FED A BUNCH OF CA-CA BY HIS NUMEROUS "TRUSTED COMPATRIOTS"? Is anyone with a half a brain going to believe that so many higher ups are going to tell the truth in what is considered to be an adversary regime? And if so, is it then really an adversary regime?
It is most suspicious that the remaining entrees seem to be more focused upon proving the extensive knowledge that the ex MI6 agent has about the Kremlin rather than focusing upon presenting any real facts to prove the allegation of the first entree. As a matter of fact, there is so much information about the Russian higher ups & their mental processes, you would think this guy was a super spy being able to know eveyone's thoughts within the Kremlin. So wow, this guy must be a real James Bond, & his report looks like a real spy thriller with all of its improbabilities & sounding like THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE with Russia grooming Trump long before he even considered running. This ex MI6 agent better look out that the Russian FSB doesn't come to eliminate him and his contacts for upsetting all of Putin's plans. Very soon we should all be hearing about the mysterious mass murders of all those "trusted compatriots" involved in creating this expose'.
The fact of the matter is that this report emanated from a person hired by the DNC (and not a real intelligence agent) to dig up trash on Trump, went undisclosed for a period of time, & then fell into the hands of our intelligence community. Given that it alleges conspiracies involving numerous individuals within the Trump organization itself, & given the numerous unidentified Russian sources, & given the lack of any corroboration, & given the false narrative of Trump's lawyer being in Prague, & given the lack of any pictures or recordings which this ex MI6 agent should have been able to obtain via his numerous alleged "trusted compatriots", THIS SO-CALL COMPANY "INTELLIGENCE" REPORT SHOULD HAVE BEEN CLASSIFIED "SECRET" & NOT EVEN HAVE GONE TO OBAMA OR TRUMP OR THE PRESS UNTIL VERIFIED WITH ACTUAL CONCRETE EVIDENCE. IT IS NOTHING BUT CONJECTURE & SLANDER, &, of course, those WISHING it to be true will continue in their ongoing slander campaign.
THAT OUR OWN INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES EVEN ALLOWED THIS MATERIAL TO GET INTO PUBLIC MAKES THEM ACCOMPLICES TO SLANDER. OUR COUNTRY NOW LOOKS LIKE A TOTAL FOOL, BEING UNABLE TO HANDLE INFORMATION AND UNPROVEN ALLEGATIONS PROPERLY. THE INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES SHOULD HAVE KEPT IT PROPERLY UNDER THEIR BELT UNTIL THEY COULD EITHER CONFIRM OR DENY ITS CONTENT, AS DOES STANDARD POLICING PRACTICES REQUIRE. NOW, INSTEAD OF HAVING ANY FACTS, ALL WE HAVE IS A BUNCH OF SHIT CREATING MORE OBSTRUCTION TO ANY REAL PRODUCTIVE WORK AND JUSTICE. WHETHER TRUE OR FALSE, OUR INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY HAS THROWN THIS COUNTRY INTO A STATE OF POLITICAL CHAOS & DISRUPTION, & I SAY HEADS SHOULD ROLL. AND OF COURSE THE LYING LIBERAL LEFT THAT STARTED THIS COMPLETE FIASCO WOULD PREFER TO START WITH FBI DIRECTOR COMEY'S HEAD.

There is a most obvious disparity in the confirmation hearings reflecting liberal views of LAW VIA FEELING as opposed to LAW VIA REASON.
Senator Leahy is A JOKE, turning the confirmation of Senator Sessions into an attack on Trump. The same old fallacious attempts at establishing GUILT BY ASSOCIATION which has long been recognized to be UNJUST & UNFAIR is being played out again & again by the DNC sympathizers who seek to reestablish their power of fear mongering that has gripped this nation for 8+ years. And they continue to establish what their view of law is & pursue conversation about how to solve problems, rather than attempt to determine the ability of the prospective AG office holder to uphold the law as it currently exist without bias.
Senator Franken sounds like a drug addict with slurred speaking.
The Honorable Larry Thompson is a voice in the hearings that is commendable, along with others.
Democrats alleged that allegations of 3,000,000 cases of "Voter Fraud" is nothing more than a ruse to justify "Voter disenfranchisement". They further alleged that reasonable proof of citizenship (ie, picture ids, retina scans, the REAL ID ACT) are nothing more than a ruse to justify "Voter disenfranchisement". Such allegations stand in the face of justice and fairness and with COMPLETE DISREGARD to citizens whose votes are being exposed to "disenfranchisement" via packing of the electorate with illegal migrants. Whether 3,000,000 cases of voter fraud exist or 10 cases exist, THE FACT IS THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION HAS BEEN COMPLETELY NEGLIGENT IN PREVENTING IT.

Nobody wishes to make fun of a disabled person simply because they are disabled. Given that Trump was the first and only person/politician to give air & credibility to Jamiel Shaw, SOMETHING THE ENTIRE SANCTUARY CITY OF LA DISGRACEFULLY REFUSED TO DO, it is near certainty that Trump was neither being uncompassionate nor mocking the individual person for being disabled. He was mocking the mentality & the intent to conveniently change the narrative as he saw it. The liberal mentality of LA that recently denied the justice deserved by the Jamiel Shaw family is the same mentality that denied Dred Scott in the 1850's. It is a completely selfish mentality that seeks only power & refuses to put things in their relative & proportionate perspective.

Is there no end to the disgraceful lack of accountability on the part of democrats? If you are a democrat, your party has been so non-bipartisan, so negligent and so arrogant that you believed you were going to win this election. In your 8 years, you did nothing to improve cyber security, and even worse, you did nothing but encourage an invasion of illegals, hoping to win them over in your greedy pursuit of power. And then the real truth came out about your complete lack of character as the result of a cyber intrusion which you now claim cost you the election & was orchestrated by the evil empire Russia, for whom your candidate brokered a deal to acquire uranium rich land in North America. So once again, it is everybody else's fault but your own. Have you no shame?
It is so obvious that you don't care for the country or doing the right thing. Your only concern is to hold onto the power that you once had & squandered by shoving Obama Care down every one's throats. You shove illegal migration down everyone's throats. You shove same sex marriage down everyone's throats. And then you shamelessly accuse everyone else of not being bi-partisan. And even in the face of losing, do you learn your lesson? Hell no.

AND YOU CARE NOTHING FOR THE TRUTH UNLESS IT BENEFITS YOU. WELL SCREW YOU AND YOUR PARTY.

HACKING - The good, bad,& ugly.
First, which is worst developing WMD or hacking? If the answer is not obvious to you, then I suggest you join the chorus of the angry DNC that has more often than not been more outraged over allegations of Russian hacking while their leader & their most recent candidate have in effect made it more possible for Iran & Russia to develop nukes, ie,
the Iranian deal & the Russian reset deal.
But that is not my focus here, rather the focus is upon all of the political hypocrisy going on when it comes to hacking.
What is most important to know is what is the exact purpose of the hacker? Is the intent for malicious purposes, ie, a virus or worm to foul up a system, a Trojan horse or phishing scheme to spy upon with no good intent, etc? Or is the hacking done to uncover the real truth?
Our own government engages in spying upon foreign nations & citizens presumably for the purpose of uncovering the real truth. Yet it acts as though it is the only party having the right to engage in such activity & for such good purpose. Meanwhile, citizens want security, while at the same time demanding their right to privacy. The fact is, the government and citizens want their cake & eat it too. That is hypocrisy.
That being said, before flying off the handle over a hack, we need to know exactly what is the intent of the hacking. It's obvious that any intent to destroy a system should be prosecuted as a crime. It's obvious that any spying for prurient interests should be prosecuted as a crime. It's also obvious that any spying for the purposes of theft should be prosecuted as a crime. HOWEVER, HACKING FOR THE PURPOSE OF UNCOVERING THE TRUTH SHOULD BE PROTECTED & NOT SUBJECT TO PROSECUTION & NOT THE RESERVED RIGHT OF ANY ONE PARTY. This means our own government should not be the only lawful party having the right to uncover the truth. It also means that beyond a healthy privacy, citizens should not be afforded the opportunity to hide unlawful activity.
Given the validity & reasonability of these premises, it should be incumbent upon each citizen and his government to be responsible for their own system of security against hacking that is in search of the truth.

the Iranian deal & the Russian reset deal.
But that is not my focus here, rather the focus is upon all of the political hypocrisy going on when it comes to hacking.
What is most important to know is what is the exact purpose of the hacker? Is the intent for malicious purposes, ie, a virus or worm to foul up a system, a Trojan horse or phishing scheme to spy upon with no good intent, etc? Or is the hacking done to uncover the real truth?
Our own government engages in spying upon foreign nations & citizens presumably for the purpose of uncovering the real truth. Yet it acts as though it is the only party having the right to engage in such activity & for such good purpose. Meanwhile, citizens want security, while at the same time demanding their right to privacy. The fact is, the government and citizens want their cake & eat it too. That is hypocrisy.
That being said, before flying off the handle over a hack, we need to know exactly what is the intent of the hacking. It's obvious that any intent to destroy a system should be prosecuted as a crime. It's obvious that any spying for prurient interests should be prosecuted as a crime. It's also obvious that any spying for the purposes of theft should be prosecuted as a crime. HOWEVER, HACKING FOR THE PURPOSE OF UNCOVERING THE TRUTH SHOULD BE PROTECTED & NOT SUBJECT TO PROSECUTION & NOT THE RESERVED RIGHT OF ANY ONE PARTY. This means our own government should not be the only lawful party having the right to uncover the truth. It also means that beyond a healthy privacy, citizens should not be afforded the opportunity to hide unlawful activity.
Given the validity & reasonability of these premises, it should be incumbent upon each citizen and his government to be responsible for their own system of security against hacking that is in search of the truth.

And therein lays the reason for rebellious children & the evolution of a hypocritical nation. DIVERSITY OF THOUGHT IS IN FACT BEING STRANGLED BY ARROGANT INTELLECTUAL PRIDE THAT PLACES ITSELF AS THE SUPREME RULER OF THE WORLD. A truly smart/wise person will not try to kill the thoughts of others or their verbal expression with name calling, slander, etc, as does the lying liberal left. ONLY BAD BEHAVIOR IS TO BE CONDEMNED & TO THE FULLEST EXTENT WARRANTED BY THE UNJUST ACT.

There is a rawness in today's cinema that is persistent
in glorifying bodily functions approaching those of defecation
and portraying those functions as being representative of love, which they are not. Such rawness is held up in contrast to war as being less objectionable, the argument being that the repetitiveness of such rawness is necessary for the education of children, thus amounting to potty training. Nevertheless, when such rawness becomes an obsession, then putrefaction sets in.
To put it another way, I would really value seeing less skin
AND MORE REFINEMENT. But of course the younger generations would probably view that to be boring, finding it more exciting to go out in the streets to protest alleged violations of their sexual rights.

I wouldn't exactly equate Trump's recognition of Putin's "smartness" with "praising" Putin. But then the lying liberal left (along with those alleging themselves to be conservatives) is famous for exaggerations & false accusations, including slander & character assassination. Anyone who is unable to carry on a discussion without name calling is not "conservative", meaning they must be liberal. They are detestable lacking any common sense & having divided & alienated American citizens from each other with petty trivial issues, stereotyping & highly partisan railroad legislation. They have a very long way to go before earning any respect or trust.

If true, and that is a BIG IF CONSIDERING THE NEWS SOURCE, then that kind of hacking is indeed a real threat unlike the alleged hacking that has become such an unnecessary uproar. Of course much of the fault is ours if such important facilities are allowed to be exposed to the internet without adequate protection. But until completely confirmed, we must consider this report as fake news since the NY Times & Washington Post haven shown themselves to be the UNRELIABLE PROPAGANDA MACHINE OF THE POLITICAL LEFT.

Trump says Putin is smart. And IT IS SMART TO RECOGNIZE INTELLIGENCE NO MATTER THE SOURCE & NO MATTER THE SKIN COLOR (Of course we have to say that to avoid being unjustly accused of "racism".)
Do you not get the feeling that Putin is running circles around Obama who began attacking Putin & advocating the boycott of Russia over alleged homosexual rights during the 2012 Olympics. Then economic sanctions were slapped against Russia after responding to a violent overthrow of the government in Kiev & in support of Eastern Ukrainians. Mr Putin did not start that trouble, the West did. Then Putin was rejected by the G-20, to which he said "Bon Appetit". All the while Obama is saying "Boy I'll show him". Then Putin appropriately stepped in to begin the end of ISIS & the catastrophe in Syria to which Obama stumbled around. And now Putin smartly rejects acting in kind to Obama's accusations and new sanctions, instead sharing Christmas with US personnel in Russia.
Putin has continuously shown his class in the face of western foolishness & insults. Who in their right mind would endorse a stupid group like Pussy Riot violating the sanctity of a church service? Is this country really willing to start a war over alleged homosexual rights or over the alleged right of a stupid singing group or in support of the destabilization of a democratic government or in support of a radical religious ideology that threatens Christian based nations? If so, then it is not the same country that we have known and admired for so long.
We have been slapping Russia around & demonizing it for years now. It has become a perfunctory right of passage for politicians to portray their strength by campaigning against Russia, & it has only made things worse, not better. Since the end of the cold war, we have no real reason to believe that Russia desires to rule the world as it once did. It is no small thing that the Catholic Church & the Russian Orthodox church have renewed old ties. Our own stupidity forces Russia into a corner, having to form alliances with other questionable countries.
Obama is not pissed because Putin's Russia is a danger to US security. Obama is pissed because Putin makes Obama look like the world's biggest idiot & cry-baby. And the more Putin makes Obama look like a fool, the more pissed Obama gets & the more foolish he acts.
Putin is indeed smart. That being said, Trump should deal cordially with Russia, but keep it at an arms length without becoming too buddy-buddy (LIKE NOT ALLOWING RUSSIA TO ACQUIRE URANIUM RICH LAND IN THIS CONTINENT). I have little doubt that Mr Trump will help put this world back on the right track & is fully capable of dealing with Mr Putin on any level, be he friend or foe.

THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH, & NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH MUST BE ABSENT ANY INCONSISTENCIES.
There are obvious inconsistencies (hypocrisies) emanating from the Obama administration that reflect attempts at covering up facts & diversions from the truth with the intent of advocating their positions & hold on power.
First let's look at THE REAL FACTS:
1. No matter who provided the hacked emails of the Clinton campaign, THE FACT IS THAT THE TRUTH WAS PROVIDED & THE DESPICABLE MANNER, LIES & MENTALITY OF THE DNC WAS EXPOSED.
2. HILLARY CLINTON, AS SECRETARY OF STATE, & HUSBAND BROKERED A DEAL THAT ALLOWED RUSSIA TO OBTAIN URANIUM RICH LAND IN THE NORTH AMERICAN CONTINENT.
3. THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION DID ATTEMPT TO MEDDLE IN THE ELECTION OF THE ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER.
4. AT THE END OF THE COLD WAR, NATO HAD ONLY 8 MEMBER NATIONS & RUSSIA DISSOLVED THE WARSAW PACT. SINCE THAT TIME THERE ARE NOW 28 MEMBER NATIONS OF NATO.
Now let's look at some principles & priorities that have been violated since this administration took office & before:
1. WHICH IS MORE IMPORTANT, THE ACTUAL TRUTH OR THE MANNER IN WHICH IT WAS OBTAINED? OUR OWN BEHAVIOR CAN MITIGATE & TAINT THE TRUTH. It is true that false confessions can occur as a result of over-the-top interrogation, & in such cases our own behavior acts against finding the real truth. In addition, methods of entrapment can also be very misleading when it comes to learning the relative truths leading to real justice & fair play. Information from previously convicted criminals regarding matters unrelated to themselves is always suspect, but may in fact reveal the real truth.
Nevertheless, there are times when the truth hits you smack in the face & is so obvious that it becomes ridiculous to disregard it simply because a bad guy presented it to you. It would seem that as far as the Obama administration is concerned, the actual truth stands secondary to the manner in which it was obtained. His administration supports the truth (no matter how it was obtained) only when it is beneficial to him & diverts from the truth with complaints about the manner in which it was obtained when it is contrary to Obama.
2. PUT YOURSELF IN THE OTHER PARTY'S SHOES. If there were anything even close to resembling NATO (like the WARSAW PACT) growing on our front door step, or even in the Western Hemisphere, we would be up in arms at the drop of a pin.
3. MINIMIZE YOUR OWN HYPOCRISIES/INCONSISTENCIES WITHOUT GIVING AWAY THE STORE. We claim to be a "democratic republic", yet we allow individuals having unfettered power to overturn issues legally voted upon by a large majority of citizens. We claim to be a country with borders protected by the government, yet our borders are criminally neglected & as porous as Swiss cheese. We expect other countries not to meddle in our own affairs, yet we meddle in other countries business all the time as evidenced by our covert actions to impact democratic elections in Iran, Korea, Israel, & God knows when & where else.
4. PRIORITIZE YOUR ENEMIES & BE PREPARED TO OFFER ATROCITIES COMMENSURATE WITH, BUT NOT EXCEEDING THOSE OF ENEMIES. There are times that you actually save lives and bring about peace by being appropriately brutal. Waterboarding has become a controversial issue with respect to its effectiveness in garnishing the truth. Nevertheless, given the absolutely abhorrent treatment of women & unjust decapitations carried out by radical Islamist & Jihadists, waterboarding is certainly far less inhumane. You cannot love your enemies to death. Setting an example requires having a receptive audience, but first you must get their attention. Under the Obama administration, IT HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY DISGRACEFUL & UNJUST THAT SOLDIERS WHO WE SEND IN HARMS WAY ARE HOG-TIED & HAM-STRUNG WITH RIDICULOUS RULES OF ENGAGEMENT & PARADED AROUND AS MORAL RETROBATES IF THEY AS MUCH AS PEE ON THE ENEMY OR BURY THEM IN THE WRONG DIRECTION. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS LEGISLATIVE WAR. IT IS BRUTAL, IT IS UGLY, IT IS INHUMANE, ETC, BUT IT IS NECESSARY WHEN FIRST ELEVATED BY AN ENEMY. Obama in his so-nice, clean hands military actions has completely screwed up the Middle East & failed to get the attention of ISIS, where Russia has clearly succeeded. Given his consistent failures, how can he be trusted with respect to Israel?
THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY UNACCEPTABLE INCONSISTENCIES IN OUR OWN BEHAVIOR THAT IT HAS BECOME RIDICULOUS. If we consider Russia to be an enemy, THEN WHY ON EARTH WOULD THE CLINTONS BETRAY OUR COUNTRY BY ALLOWING RUSSIA TO ACQUIRE URANIUM RICH LAND IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD? THAT IS FAR WORSE THAN ANY INTERNET HACKING THAT REVEALS THE REAL TRUTH, REGARDLESS OF INTENTIONS. If we are so outraged at the alleged attempts by Russians to influence our own elections, is not Israel entitled & justified in being outraged at our own attempts to influence their elections (as well as others)? If we are not outraged at foreign nationals from Mexico illegally entering our own country, why should we be outraged at Israel building settlements around Jerusalem which is rightfully theirs in the first place. If we believe in a two-state solution for Israel, why should we be against a two-state solution for the Ukraine or Scotland? If we really consider ISIS to be our very worst enemy, then why have we made it so possible for it to even exist in the first place by undermining objectionable leadership in Libya, Egypt, Iraq, & Syria that kept ISIS from forming? If we really consider Iran to be a dangerous nuclear threat, then how on earth is enabling them economically going to stop them from building nuclear weapons?
These inconsistencies arise from various sources out of various concerns, some legitimate & other illegitimate. Obama has repeatedly said "That's not who we are", but he has done a piss-poor job in defining who we are. There is no in-between when it comes to our own behavior. Either we are a democratic republic or we are not. Either we are a country with sovereign borders administered under law or we are not. Either we believe in real justice, not based on equality in all matters, but based upon common sense, appropriate punishment & fairness, or we do not. Either we seek to discover the real truth or we do not. Either we accord to other countries the same disciplines we allow ourselves or we do not. Either we respect the concerns of other countries that we ourselves would have & given the same set of circumstances or we do not. Either we believe in segregated sovereign nations for designated common cultural homeland free from destructive foreign dilution (ie, global compartmentalization for habitat) , or we do not. THESE INCONSISTENCIES MUST STOP. ONLY THEN WILL WE BE MAKING ANY REAL CONTRIBUTION TO THE FURTHER EXISTENCE OF HUMANITY.

OBAMA SAYS "Israel, give back the land that was taken from you & which you reclaimed after you were viciously attacked".
So maybe Americans should cede back the land taken from native Americans years ago? The only difference is that Jerusalem belonged to the Jews in the first place, where no part of the Western Hemisphere was owned by the Europeans before being occupied by native Americans. It would seem that the Israelis have more valid justification in reclaiming land that originally belonged to them than our American ancestors had in the outright taking of land from native Americans & which would be impractical to cede back today.
Restoration of property rights needs to be considered in terms of HIGHEST & BEST USE as well as PEACEFUL SETTLEMENT vs USE FOR WAR or LAND HOARDING. In this case it is obvious that Islamic sympathies are engaged in LAND HOARDING & WAR MONGERING, while the Israelis are engaged in peaceful construction.
So whose purpose & what obvious outcome are you willing to serve? Compassion is not compassion when it wages war for the purpose of world domination & which visits the injustice of war upon its own followers as does the Islamic Sharia ideology. Nazi Germany & Tojo's Japan did as much the same.

Obama continues to impose fuzzy borders on the entire world. Strange that he does not do his duty in enforcing our own borders & accepts border encroachments here, yet he expects Israel to not encroach upon land that is RIGHTFULLY THEIRS IN THE FIRST PLACE. And at the same time he criticizes eastern Ukrainians for seeking their own nation state. WHERE IS THE CONSISTENCY OF THOUGHT?
We agree with the 2-state solution, but who, in their right mind, can insist upon the existence of a "nation state" and in the same breath divide a city between two nation states? ABSOLUTE NON-SENSE. Cases in point: Jerusalem, Berlin, etc. We would absolutely reject any idea of splitting up Berlin, but when it comes to Jerusalem, well, that is a different story as far as Obama is concerned. How about we share our capital city with Russia? Let's face it, we are complete hypocrites when it comes to splitting up, or keeping together, cities depending upon whose side we support.

ASK A STUPID QUESTION & GET A STUPID ANSWER.
Persisting in asking stupid a question when it is obvious that no matter the answer there will be no real useful purpose served, or even worse that there can only be more dire consequences for a population if the wrong answer is given, is completely irresponsible. "why did Obama not produce his birth certificate immediately", "Why does Trump not produce his tax records", "Why does Trump not come out and accuse Russia of hacking", etc, etc. These are ALL STUPID QUESTIONS arising mostly from the lying liberal left that continues to posit & only promote further discord, distrust, uncivility, disunity, & unjustified suspicions leading to civil war which any assumed enemies would love to inspire.
This morning on liberal left Meet The Press, David Ignatius (Ignoramus) put forth the question of whether or not Mr Trump is a puppet of Vladimir Putin & suggested that the entire electoral process be halted until we find out. Maybe he should ask whether or not Obama is a puppet of Saudi Arabia & call for Obama's impeachment. Maybe he should ask if the liberal media is a puppet of George Soros.
Exactly from where did all of these so-called well educated all-knowing intellectuals come? And what ever happened to their unique mentality that said "We have to pass the bill to find out"? Let's face it, they have nothing better to do with their lives than to gather around a table & opine on various possible conspiracy theories.

Persisting in asking stupid a question when it is obvious that no matter the answer there will be no real useful purpose served, or even worse that there can only be more dire consequences for a population if the wrong answer is given, is completely irresponsible. "why did Obama not produce his birth certificate immediately", "Why does Trump not produce his tax records", "Why does Trump not come out and accuse Russia of hacking", etc, etc. These are ALL STUPID QUESTIONS arising mostly from the lying liberal left that continues to posit & only promote further discord, distrust, uncivility, disunity, & unjustified suspicions leading to civil war which any assumed enemies would love to inspire.
This morning on liberal left Meet The Press, David Ignatius (Ignoramus) put forth the question of whether or not Mr Trump is a puppet of Vladimir Putin & suggested that the entire electoral process be halted until we find out. Maybe he should ask whether or not Obama is a puppet of Saudi Arabia & call for Obama's impeachment. Maybe he should ask if the liberal media is a puppet of George Soros.
Exactly from where did all of these so-called well educated all-knowing intellectuals come? And what ever happened to their unique mentality that said "We have to pass the bill to find out"? Let's face it, they have nothing better to do with their lives than to gather around a table & opine on various possible conspiracy theories. But given their obvious arrogant lack of any intent to really understand the world, we can fully expect them to continue in their deliberate Alinsky Rules For Radicals style of disruption & corruption of American politics.

FROM DAVE HODGES - THE COMMON SENSE SHOW
Clinton/Soros Led Electoral College Tampering- Evidence of Massive Voter Fraud In Arizona-
CSS-Offical-New-Logo2
revolution-american-style
Americans are fed up. The establishment previously and astutely predicted how fed up Americans would become as the government has rehearsed for massive civil unrest over and over. In fact, the American sheeple of this country have discovered how correct the Independent Media has been regarding the criminals who have hijacked our government. However, this is a small consolation for what lies ahead for the American people.
Mike Adams and Dave Hodges
Late last week, Mike Adams and myself received inquiries for interviews from the Washington Post and the New York Times, respectively. In each case, as I have previously reported, the reporter wanted to know if we knew about any Patriot groups who would ferment violence in reaction to a Hillary Clinton election. I told the reporter that the only way Clinton could was through voter fraud, but I knew of no effort to respond in a violent manner. It was compare to Mike and myself that reporters were trying to create a narrative in which we would be blamed for fermenting violence in the face of a stolen election.
This premise is flawed on its face. First, Mike and myself never advocate for violence. Although, the war criminal, George Soros, should already be in prison for his Nazi war crimes against humanity and our special operation forces would be justified in removing him to a rendition site out of the country, for the good of the country. This is all legal as the tenets of the NDAA could applied. Beyond this, violence will accomplish nothing, but to promote more violence. I told the NY Times reporter that I do not condone violence, but I would support a national boycott against all businesses that benefit in any manner from the free trade agreements and illegal immigration. America has the ability to bleed these businesses dry. The average margin of profit is about 4%. If only 10% of the country would begin to shop locally and bank in the less corrupt credit unions, we could drive these businesses into oblivion and this would create more a problem for the globalists than any act of violence in respond to a stolen election.
It is no coincidence that my NY Times contact happened in the same time frame that I was receiving evidence of massive voter fraud in Arizona as well Electoral College tampering. I stopped believing in coincidences a long time ago.
Damning Evidence of Voter Fraud
Early last week, I began to receive information on two fronts regarding Arizona politics. I received electronic proof of massive voter fraud, with regard to the upcoming election inside of Maricopa County, Arizona. I know the person who provided the proof and the evidence, and in my opinion, the evidence is damning. I fully expect this evidence will be used in a legal challenge to the election by the Trump people, who I have forwarded this information to.
The statistics related to voter fraud. According to my insider source, revealed that the Post Offices in Arizona have processed 2.7 million early ballots. The entire state of Arizona only has 6.93 million people, men, women and children.
Here are the voter registration totals for all of Arizona.
Election Year (Click for more information) Registered Voters Ballots Cast in the Primary
2016 3,400,628 989,754
2014 3,247,146 877,270
2012 3,100,575 870,875
2010 3,102,876 933,650
Just a cursory look at the numbers show that anywhere from 25-33% of registered voters cast votes in a primary election with data going back six years. That is not the important statistic.
The important statistic is that with three weeks left to the general election, when this data was provided to me, 2.7 million Arizona voters, voted early. This means that 80% of Arizona’s eligible voters have voted early. do you find this believable? These numbers clearly represent ballot stuffing. Arizona, and for that matter, not anywhere else in the country, has every had an 80% voter turnout and Arizona already had this kind of turn out a full 21 days before the election. Are we also to believe that nobody is going to the polls and the voters are only voting by early ballot (79% of the total possible vote)? These numbers only add up to one thing. Arizona is the site of massive voter fraud. And with the current state of the Department of Justice, run by Loretta Lynch (mob), where would complaints about voter fraud go? Who would respond to them? The answer is, nobody will respond. Who in the media is going to report this kind of blatant and obvious voter fraud? CNN? Fox? ABC? Hold on to your hat it is about to get a whole lot worse.
Electoral College Voter Bribery
For a couple of weeks, I have been receiving information from someone I know personally, who has played a significant role in Arizona politics. This person told me, without blinking an eye, that inducements and outright bribes have been offered to Arizona’s electors. The person knows of one instance of direct collusion with “shadowy forces”. Although no mention of a specific people and organizations involved in the attempted bribery were mentioned, it does not take much imagination to know we are ultimately referring to George Soros and the Clinton Foundation.
I asked the source about payment sources and the answer I received was offshore through a laundered account paid to a phony shell corporation that had been set up. Again, it does not take much imagination to know that we speaking about either HSBC Bank or Wells Fargo, or both, since they have both been busted for these kinds of money laundering operations for which they paid a fine and nobody went to jail.
When we are talking about bribing electors, we are taking about a finite population. In Arizona, that number would be 11 Republican electors. In the face of what they will call unfounded rumors, will these people open up their phone and banking records as well as their travel histories? I have made an official inquiry to the Arizona Secretary of State and have yet to receive a response.
By the way, the elector in questions claimed that they had not accepted any money and that they only had knowledge about how the bribery would take place. The proof is in the pudding. Even with the rampant and apparent early voting election fraud that is taking place, I do not believe that Clinton can win. I have a hard time finding anyone who supports this despot. Therefore, we have a couple of bell-weather indicators of voting fraud. The first would be the exit polling, which Trump supporters should be independently conducting. If the polls don’t match the results, then one has a major problem with voter fraud. Second, if the voters in Arizona are refused the demands that many will make to vote on a paper ballot as opposed to George Soros voting machines. Arizona is one of 16 states in which George Soros voting machines in play for this election.
What is happening in Arizona is happening all across the country.

THE CURRENT UPROAR OVER RUSSIA'S POTENTIAL INVOLVEMENT IN OUR ELECTION HACKING IS THE BIGGEST BUNCH OF HYPOCRITICAL, CRY-BABY NONSENSE BECAUSE:
1. NO ONE IS CLAIMING THAT RUSSIA ACTUALLY HACKED OUR VOTE COUNTING SYSTEM. HAD THAT BEEN THE CASE, THEN CERTAINLY THERE SHOULD BE CONCERN. BUT IT DID NOT HAPPEN.
2. THIS IS ALL ABOUT THE WIKILEAKS RELEASE OF HACKED INFORMATION FROM THE CLINTON CAMPAIGN.
3. THE CLINTON CAMPAIGN HAS NEVER DENIED ANY OF THE INFORMATION RELEASED BY WIKILEAKS. THEREFORE, THE INFORMATION MUST BE TRUE.
WHO IN THE HELL CARES HOW THE INFORMATION WAS OBTAINED OR WHO DID IT, AS LONG AS IT IS THE TRUTH. WHETHER RUSSIA DID IT OR LITTLE GREEN MEN ON MARS, IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE AS LONG AS IT IS THE TRUTH. THAT IS REAL TRANSPARENCY. BUT THE TRUTH IS NOT SOMETHING THE CLINTON CAMPAIGN IS AT ALL INTERESTED IN. AND AS FAR AS THOSE REPUBLICANS CALLING FOR AN INVESTIGATION ARE CONCERNED, WHY DO THEY NOT CALL FOR AN INVESTIGATION INTO HOW THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS ENCOURAGED ILLEGAL FOREIGN NATIONALS TO TILT THE ELECTION? THAT IS CERTAINLY MORE OF A CRIME THAN SOME FOREIGN PERSON TRYING TO READ OUR MAIL.

This question of a foreign country hacking of the election was brought up well before the actual election & we were guaranteed that no such thing could happen. Of course that was before the election when it was thought Hillary would win. And never mind the fact that liberals have tried to stack the political electorate with foreign illegal migrants. But now that Hillary has lost, it has now become a big thing for Obama to address the question/issue. Bolton is correct, ie, a non-rush to judgment and well studied examination of the evidence is completely in order. And any statements regarding the matter by the liberal news media should be completely ignored, because we already know they are biased.

There are those who believe there is good in everything. Even if an asteroid were to hit the planet they would find some good in it. And of course, according to them there is good in everything, EXCEPT THOSE WHO WOULD DISAGREE WITH THEM & who they call a bunch of deplorable, hateful, bigoted, racists, islamaphobes, xenophobes, & homophobes which is far worse than simply being stupid & ignorant (at least in their own minds).
With the exception of God who is Jesus Christ Himself, there is no absolute good. All worldly good is temporal and relative no matter its form. To say that any person is always good is a failure to acknowledge the perishability & corruptibility of human behavior. Christ himself said "Why do you call me good?".
Political expediency makes hypocrites of us all. The only question is, who is the least hypocritical in terms of what. The correct answer to that question will result in the least injustice & the most appropriate standard of living. The Bible gives us the most accurate answer thus far. Yet some countries have opted to ban it. Still others toss it aside as trash, while others seek to rewrite it to suit their own purposes. We say "Shame on them all".

Grand ideas & principles express themselves in generalities. But injustice finds its existence in the lack of specificity of appropriate inclusiveness/exclusiveness. Freedom of religion within the United States was granted in terms of what were the only well known religions to exist in the country at the time, ie, the various sects of religion which had a common belief in the Bible. In addition, that principle of freedom was granted in terms of the pursuit of thought, verbal expression, written expression & peaceful debate, & not necessarily in terms of behavior or practice, lest criminal acts and/or civil disobedience be protected in the name of religious freedom.
The founding fathers would certainly never allow for the protection of Satanic worship and practice. Where the welcome mat is extended to all, there is a corresponding requirement for the repentance of unjust behavior before being included in the common unity. And where some may see their religion as requiring forgiveness of all, that is a definite misconception given that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is condemned. Nevertheless, there are those who would seek to generalize for the purposes of all inclusiveness the intent & character of the founding fathers by pointing to two specific facts.
1. In 1797, the Treaty Of Tripoli was ratified in which the government denied that it was specifically & exclusively founded on Christian religion, BUT DID NOT DENY THAT IT WAS FOUNDED UPON THE BIBLE, THEREBY ALLOWING JEWS THE SAME FREEDOM. Specifically, Article 11 reads:
" As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mussulmen (Muslims); and as the said States never entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mahometan (Mohammedan) nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries." To this might be added/implied "enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility of Mussulmen WITHIN THEIR OWN NATION". Given the Alien & Sedition Act in force at that time, certainly the government would not tolerate any such Sharia laws within our own country. This is emphasized by the Barbary War that followed in in 1801-1805 & a second Barbary War in 1815.
2. Thomas Jefferson had a Quran. But Thomas Jefferson never ever endorsed or even suggested that Islam be considered a "religion". In fact, he had disdain for it. His possession of the Qu'ran was by no means an acknowledgement of the validity of its content, but only an attempt to understand the logic, or lack thereof, in the same manner that one would study an enemy & given the pirating conflicts with Islam that existed back then. And he certainly would never make the Bible subordinate to the Qu'ran.
Quite obviously, Islam was not a welcomed so-called religion then, nor is it now despite ridiculous efforts to read into history that it was considered a legitimate religion. It is highly doubtful that the founding fathers ever meant to include Islam as being a legitimate "religion" entitled to protection from government control, because it was understood even then that Islam went far beyond being a religion in its relentless pursuit of becoming a tyrannical world power.
It is not uncommon for disparate & opposing groups to claim rights to the same principles even though their practices are mutually exclusive of each other. Such is the case between Judeo/Christianity & Islam which 1500 years of continuous conflict have proven to be the case. Where both claim to worship God, it is perfectly clear that the characters of their respective gods do not agree. Obviously, one of them is a false god. Civility between the two will at best only be a temporal thing. To even attempt to bring or force the two together in the name of being a proud diverse society with an ultimate resolution is absolute foolishness & ignorance.

Once again the self-serving, hypocritical, & unrelenting mentality of the lying liberal left that has permeated the news media is on display. PBS NEWS HOUR 's Judy Woodward, in an interview with a Trump spokesman, stated "MICHEL OBAMA SAYS THAT SHE STANDS BY WHAT SHE SAID OF TRUMP DURING THE CAMPAIGN BUT PLEDGES TO CONTRIBUTE TO TRUMP'S SUCCESS AS PRESIDENT". And then she goes on to ask, "IS MR TRUMP GOING TO APOLOGIZE FOR ALL OF THE TERRIBLE THINGS HE SAID ABOUT MR OBAMA", as if Mr Trump should apologize. Exactly what alleged "terrible things" did Trump say about Obama after the alt-left initiated it's hate campaign by calling Mr Trump a "baffoon", an "Islama-phobe", a "xenophobe", a "racist", a "bigot", a "nazi" a "misogynist:", a "fraud", a "deplorable",etc. Why should Mr Trump apologize for what he did not start? The more appropriate apology should come from the liberal left, but we all know that will never happen.
This is so typical of the two faced , so-called news reporting & other shenanigans we have been forced to witness over the last decade. It conveys a total disregard for real social justice in pursuit of power & tyranny. It is driven by a disbelief in God and outright fear of anything and every thing.

THE SIN OF PRIDE.
"Pride" is tied to a sense of accomplishment. It becomes a sin when there is no acknowledgement of God in achieving the goals that we set for ourselves. The unrighteous will say to themselves, "I did it all on my own regardless of God or for God". The righteous will say "I did it WITH GOD'S HELP & I AM THANKFUL FOR IT".
"Pride" is also tied to a sense of being someone special in comparison to others. It is the destructive force that creates divisiveness and wars.

The liberal media has just confirmed that it has the mentality of a 12 year old. Their latest headline news is "FAKE NEWS". Instead of using the more adult term "FABRICATED NEWS", they use terms commonly assigned to a 12 year old, ie "FAKE". This is consistent with their arrogant name calling as well.
But perhaps there is a more sinister motive behind it all, ie, the intent to spread propaganda among teenagers using their terminology to cause divisiveness. If you are going to play the game of "political correctness", then at least have the decency to allow parents teach their children properly without spreading a bunch of biased lying gossip.
Meanwhile, regarding the most recent act of potential violence due to the "FABRICATED" news, only idiots act on unconfirmed gossip, which includes the echo chamber of the liberal news media.

By Dennis Prager
I have been broadcasting for 31 years and writing for longer than that. I do not recall ever saying on radio or in print that a president is doing lasting damage to our country. I did not like the presidencies of Jimmy Carter (the last Democrat I voted for) or Bill Clinton. Nor did I care for the “compassionate conservatism” of George W. Bush. In modern political parlance “compassionate” is a euphemism for ever-expanding government.
But I have never written or broadcast that our country was being seriously damaged
by a president.
So it is with great sadness that I write that President Barack Obama has done and continues to do major damage to America . The only question is whether this can ever be undone.
This is equally true domestically and internationally.
Domestically, his policies have had a grave impact on the American economy.
He has overseen the weakest recovery from a recession in modern American history.
He has mired the country in unprecedented levels of debt: about $6.5 trillion — that is 6,500 billion — in five years (this after calling his predecessor “unpatriotic” for adding
nearly $5 trillion in eight years).
He has fashioned a country in which more Americans now receive government aid — means-tested, let alone non-means-tested — than work full-time.
He has no method of paying for this debt other than printing more money — thereby surreptitiously taxing everyone through inflation, including the poor he claims to be helping, and cheapening the dollar to the point that some countries are talking about another reserve currency — and saddling the next generations with enormous debts.
With his 2,500-page Affordable Care Act he has made it impossible for hundreds of thousands, soon millions, of Americans to keep their individual or employer-sponsored group health insurance; he has stymied American medical innovation with an utterly destructive tax on medical devices; and he has caused hundreds of thousands of workers to lose full-time jobs because of the health-care costs imposed by Obamacare on employers.
His Internal Revenue Service used its unparalleled power to stymie political dissent. No one has been held accountable.
His ambassador to Libya and three other Americans were murdered by terrorists in Benghazi, Libya .. No one has been blamed. The only blame the Obama administration
has leveled was on a videomaker in California who had nothing to do with the assault. In this president’s White House the buck stops nowhere.
Among presidents in modern American history,he has also been a uniquely divisive force.
It began with his forcing Obamacare through Congress —the only major legislation in American history to be passed with no votes from the opposition party.
Though he has had a unique opportunity to do so, he has not only not helped heal racial tensions, he has exacerbated them. His intrusions into the Trayvon Martin affair (“If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon”) and into the confrontation between a white police officer and a black Harvard professor (the police “acted stupidly”) were unwarranted, irresponsible, demagogic, and, most of all, divisive.
He should have been reassuring black Americans that America is in fact the least racist country in the world — something he should know as well as anybody, having been raised only by whites and being the first (halfbreed) black elected the leader of a white-majority nation.
Instead, he echoed the inflammatory speech of professional race-baiters such as Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.He has also divided the country by economic class, using classic Marxist language against “the rich” and “corporate profits.”
Regarding America in the world, he has been, if possible, even more damaging. The United States is at its weakest, has fewer allies, and has less military and diplomatic influence than at any time since before World War II.
One wonders if there is a remaining ally nation that trusts him. And worse, no American enemy fears him. If you are a free movement (the democratic Iranian and Syrian oppositions) or a free country (Israel), you have little or no reason to believe that you have a steadfast ally in the United States .
Even non-democratic allies no longer trust America. Barack Obama has alienated our most
important and longest standing Arab allies, Egypt and Saudi Arabia . Both the anti–Muslim Brotherhood and the anti-Iran Arab states have lost respect for him. And his complete withdrawal of American troops from Iraq has left that country with weekly bloodbaths.
Virtually nothing Barack Obama has done has left America or the world better since he became president. Nearly everything he has touched has been made worse.
He did, however, promise before the 2008 election that “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America ..” That is the one promise he has kept.
What does it take for the American people to WAKE UP? Do we want four more years of this from Hillary?
I have been broadcasting for 31 years and writing for longer than that. I do not recall ever saying on radio or in print that a president is doing lasting damage to our country. I did not like the presidencies of Jimmy Carter (the last Democrat I voted for) or Bill Clinton. Nor did I care for the “compassionate conservatism” of George W. Bush. In modern political parlance “compassionate” is a euphemism for ever-expanding government.
But I have never written or broadcast that our country was being seriously damaged
by a president.
So it is with great sadness that I write that President Barack Obama has done and continues to do major damage to America . The only question is whether this can ever be undone.
This is equally true domestically and internationally.
Domestically, his policies have had a grave impact on the American economy.
He has overseen the weakest recovery from a recession in modern American history.
He has mired the country in unprecedented levels of debt: about $6.5 trillion — that is 6,500 billion — in five years (this after calling his predecessor “unpatriotic” for adding
nearly $5 trillion in eight years).

This is what you get from persons that uses Machiavellian Alinsky rules for radical and promotes abortion
Socialist elitism is not only corrupting our American system of democracy but is also using "diversity" propaganda dialog to set citizen against citizen to extort political gains, to steal your vote with deceitful lies and misdirection.
The Democrats blame all others for not being diverse - this is a facade of deceit.
The word "diversity" as they use it - is basically a divide & conquer Machiavellian Alinsky tactic. Accuse different groups of not being diverse to divide them - then side with the splinter group that believes their "claim" of support and help to get their vote and continue to blame the other side of being bias (that is, not being diverse). This tactic is intentionally creating dysfunctional tension between our own citizenship - extremely un-American to promote such disunity amongst fellow citizens - just to gain votes.
This is not the American way of life that most American want or support - Hillary has intentionally become the queen elite ruler and proliferator of this deceitful practice.
More important she appears to believe that this is the same way the Declaration of Independence, our American Constitution and the Bill of Rights should be attacked - make exceptions to all these agreed to American documents because they are not diverse. What she does not want as an elitist is to be constrained by these citizen agreed to documents that were designed to constrain the federal government so that it would not be able to dominate our sovereign united States local governments.
This is also why we American citizens need to rid the federal government of the Department of Education, eliminate or greatly reduce the EPA, eliminate armed IRS agents and require them to use the FBI as defined and constrained by the Constitution. That is, restore the rule and order of the constraints as explicitly written in our American Constitution.
This lack of restraint and disrespect for these documents are precisely the main reason she is not fit to be President. Said another way, she puts her personal political ambitions before these sacred documents. On the other hand, Trump has shown and stated that he fundamentally puts our American way of life before his personal ambition .

THE FINAL INSPECTION
The Soldier stood and faced God, which must always come to pass. He hoped his shoes were shining, just as brightly as his brass. 'Step forward now, Soldier, how shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek? To My Church have you been true?' The soldier squared his shoulders and said, 'no, Lord, I guess I ain't. Because those of us who carry guns, can't always be a saint. I've had to work most Sundays, and at times my talk was tough. And sometimes I've been violent, because the world is awfully rough. But, I never took a penny, that wasn't mine to keep. Though I worked a lot of overtime, when the bills got just too steep. And I never passed a cry for help, though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God, forgive me, I've wept unmanly tears. I know I don't deserve a place, among the people here. They never wanted me around, except to calm their fears. If you've a place for me here, Lord, it needn't be so grand. I never expected or had too much, but if you don't, I'll understand. There was a silence all around the throne, where the saints had often trod. As the Soldier waited quietly, for the judgment of his God. 'Step forward now, you Soldier, you've borne your burdens well. Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets, you've done your time in Hell.'

In the name of objectivity & Christian forgiveness, Trump is correct in giving Romney a chance to apologize. Nevertheless, EXACTLY WHAT QUALITIES/EXPERIENCE DOES ROMNEY HAVE THAT WOULD JUSTIFY GIVING HIM A POSITION IN THE GOVERNMENT? What problems would he be able to solve, or is he really just needed to serve as a cosmetic PRETTY BOY? After all, we really learned a lot about Romney's lack of character given his totally disgusting appearance during the most recent pre-election period. It makes me almost thank God he did not win the 2012 election. Had he more appropriately used his most recent tones in the 2012 election against Obama, then he might have won. Obviously, he has a timing problem for appropriateness.

MR SOUND EDITOR, PLEASE.....
Yes, I am old, but I am not totally deaf yet. I have absolutely no problem plainly hearing the ads that precede movies or hearing the movies where the lines are filled with a bunch of 4-letter words or those movies where they actually hired a bonafide sound editor. I still enjoy actually hearing movies that were made in the pre-digital era. But so many movies today seem to be void of any audibility & intelligibleness, making attendance to them a completely worthless experience & waste of time & money.
After silent movies, it used to be that one of the main reasons people went to see a movie was to hear the dialogue, an essential part of story telling. But that seems to have become a thing of the past as far as current day movie producers are concerned. More important is the immersing of the viewer in the sounds of the environment. Traffic noise, crowd noise, loud music, door slams, crash, bang, "OMG", 4-letter words, wind, foot steps, etc have become more important than being able to hear what is being said. And then again, another important element is the conveyance of somber emotion by indistinguishable whispering, muttering, mumbling or other similar utterance, void of any real action or expression on the part of the actors, all as if there were some big military secret to suppress.
All of this makes for a perfectly worthless movie experience. The universal language of 4-letter words,grunts, groans, & inaudible utterances does not a movie make. Not to long ago, a friend and I walked out of the movie RISEN after 5 minutes & got our money back because the audio was so crappy. It makes one really feel like an ass walking out on Jesus, but then what is the use if you can't hear what is being said. I subsequently rented the dvd & put on my head phones which helped, but not much.
There have been plenty of other such miserable movies. More recently the movie ARRIVAL was a great portrayal of Amy Adams mumbling & lounging about throughout the entire film. She really didn't need any lines. All she had to do was issue a bunch of -100 DB utterances. And at least in the old silent movies, the actors would actually act giving clear visual expressions of what they meant to say. But ARRIVAL never arrived. Needless to say, the movie was completely unintelligible & a total pain to even sit through.
After seeing so many of these completely worthless movies, I think I have figured out why they even bother making them. Answer- THE FOREIGN MARKET. Certainly it makes it much easier to dub over the softly spoken, inaudible English words "water melon, water melon, water melon" with a foreign tongue. "English" appears to becoming a 2nd rate language not worth learning anyway, so what difference does it make. But then that is just my theory. Then again, maybe the producers cannot afford to pay a good screen play writer or sound editor. No matter, it would certainly help if there were some audio rating such as "MUMBLES 1" "MUMBLES 2", etc, or "WHAM1", "WHAM2", etc. Better yet, just entitle the movies "MUMBLES" or "WHAM" with a sequel number which will help deaf, English speaking people like me avoid all of the unpleasantness that we presumably paid for to avoid.
Please Mr Producer, get yourself a real audio editor. But then that might raise the cost of production too much, making it necessary for folks like me who actually enjoy hearing the dialogue & story to stop going to any movie theaters at all.

In her interview with Kelly Anne Conway, she asked Kelly Anne several questions, got MOST SPECIFIC AND VERY CLEAR ANSWERS and then asked the same questions again & again. There is a logical definition of this kind of behavior. It's called "Begging The Question" , wherein the the questioner keeps asking the same questions over and over again to wear down the truthful answers until they get the answers they want. In police work it is called "FORCED CONFESSION". ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING, although the police may have more justification for so doing.

"The announcement was a signal of the pope’s vision of a more welcoming, merciful and inclusive church."
All in the name of "unity" and "equality"?
Jesus said the "He who would be greatest shall be the least in the Kingdom & he who would be last shall be the greatest". This surely indicates that the Kingdom has inequality & divisions, contrary to homogeneous unity & equality for all.
What has that to do with state sanctified abortion? The liberal mindset seeks to create a homogeneous unity that imposes individual situations and limited choices upon the entire population.
AT THIS POINT IN TIME, THAT IS SIMPLY WRONG. THE DECISION TO ABORT OR NOT ABORT SHOULD NOT INVOLVE THE GOVERNMENT IN ANY WAY, unless the population at large is clearly threatened by a population explosion that would result in the deaths of many, (the straw that broke the camels back). When the life raft is full, it is senseless to allow another person on board that would sink the entire raft. But if there is plenty of room to accommodate extra persons, then there is no reason to deny additional persons. (The same applies to migration).
Aside from that, IT IS DEFINITELY WRONG TO FORCE OTHERS TO PAY FOR AN ABORTION IN WHICH THEY DO NOT BELIEVE.
Nevertheless, the Pope may be correct in recognizing that each case of abortion has its reasons, some valid, some invalid.

"POPULIST" is a term used extensively by the news media to denigrate any political movement contrary to its favorites. "Populist" refers to " a member or adherent of a political party seeking to represent the interests of ordinary people".

ABOUT SPEAKING UP & POLITICAL CORRECTNESS..
Herman Cain is absolutely correct!
You say that Hitler was allowed to get away with what he did because people did not "speak up".
Let's talk ABOUT SPEAKING UP.
"SPEAKING UP" does not mean that you call your opponents names or engage in slander, unless of course you do not care if it results in war.
SPEAKING UP" does not mean you go out on the streets and obstruct other people's rights or engage in violence/destruction.
"SPEAKING UP" does not mean you endorse bad/inappropriate behavior.
"SPEAKING UP" is not "in-your-face" advertising.
There are appropriate venues established for "speaking up".
And "SPEAKING UP" certainly does not mean you go into another persons house & criticize your host.
So if you really want to be "politically correct", maybe you should begin by observing the real rules of political correctness.

I must admit that I have had strange thoughts of unenclosed virtual space passing "through" enclosed real matter, as opposed to real concrete matter passing "through" virtual space. If "SYMMETRY OF ENCLOSURE" is in fact a law of the real physical universe, then the smallest particle of real matter must be enclosed by no more than a dodecahedron, as opposed to a perfect sphere which is a physical impossibility, but not an impossibility with respect to the mathematical concept of a point in space.

Maybe you should reconsider your stance? But then we already know that you are incapable of weighing relative sins. Unlike you who are afraid of making it angry, I am not "afraid" of Islam. I detest it's behavior. Coexistence with it has proven to be impossible over the millenniums. And if it gets more angry, I wil spew it out of my presence, because it hates & minimizes the love and forgiveness of God who is Jesus Christ. Is a society/culture that is so afraid of & rejects the Bible, ie, the message of Jesus Christ, one that is deserving of unfettered access to freedoms that it denies to others? Do you not see the hypocrisy?
Yes, there are many mellow Muslims who are more respectful of others' beliefs. Nevertheless, the Muslim "religion" is unreformed & more ideological & intellectual in nature, taking pride in its intellect. This gives rise to the horrible crimes today which were once the horrible crimes of the Christian Church before the Reformation & Enlightenment. The Christian Church of today is a far cry from its past, now providing us & our children with democracy, the freedom of choice, in addition to OFFERING THE ONLY CONSISTENT HOPE IN COUNTERING THE OBVIOUS FUTILITY & CONTRADICTIONS OF HUMAN LIFE. "DEATH, WHERE IS THY STING".
Where it is not my duty to not forgive, it is my duty to speak the truth & comply with the Lord's Will as written in scripture to the best of my ability. But then we already know that many of you are rudderless believing only in the will & whims of humans who still engage in war, murder, thievery, rape, adultery, slander, & pride of intellect, gender, race &/or religion. So the Lord's Will does not mean much to you.
Do not claim me to be a "bigot"/"hypocrite", because I would treat the phony "Christian" who behaves as a radical Muslim exactly the same. The Lord will not forgive those who speak against the Holy Spirit. And if the Lord does not forgive, then it is my duty to not forgive. If Muslims & others do not accept Jesus Christ as Lord (ie, God), are they not rejecting the Holy Spirit? Of course that is their freedom to choose & is not exactly the same as speaking against the Holy Spirit. However, they walk a very narrow line. In so doing, their behavior comes under more serious scrutiny. And when that behavior crosses some very obvious lines with respect to unjustly harming others, then it might be assumed they have in effect spoken against the Holy Spirit. As someone once said, "Action speaks louder than words". And if that is in fact the case, then "forgiveness" goes out the window & "justice/fairness" must prevail, with penalties commensurate with the crime, including capital punishment &/or exclusion from the offended society. That is not hypocrisy. That is LOVE WITH JUSTICE WHICH IS THE MESSAGE OF JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD.

The ENORMITY OF THE HYPOCRITICAL PROBLEMS IMPOSED UPON US BY THE LIBERAL LEFT MAY BE EVEN TOO GREAT FOR TRUMP TO OVERCOME.
Where we are please with the election of President Elect Trump, judging by the chaotic state of the alleged Union & Trump's answers to questions asked on CBS 60 Minutes, it would appear that Trump feels a need to compromise with the liberal mindset that supports gay marriage. When ask about Roe v. Wade, he indicated that it should be turned back over to the States. But when asked about gay marriage, his reply was "It is law". This answer, while being considered "politically correct", is the result of a much deeper problem that has absolutely ruined our democracy, ie, THE ALLEGED POWER OF JUDICIAL REVIEW that has allowed individuals sitting on the bench to impose their will over the people.
NO WHERE IN THE CONSTITUTION HAS THIS ALLEGED POWER OF THE COURT BEEN GRANTED.
One political figure is keenly aware of that fact, & that is TED CRUZ.
He realizes that this UNCHECKED POWER NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT UNDER CONTROL. But how? The answer = BY MAKING IT A REQUIREMENT THAT CONGRESS CONFIRM ANY COURT DECISION THAT OVERTURNS THE EXPRESSED WILL OF THE PEOPLE.
Until this court is brought under such control, our democracy remains at risk. But it will take a long period of time to bring this about. Until then, OUR PRAYERS ARE THAT TED CRUZ BE PLACED ON THE SUPREME COURT.

Hypocritical California (just like Washington, Colorado & Nevada) finds it so easy to violate the Law Of The Land when it suits its own purposes, but invokes the Constitution when it is opposed to something. Case in point, it has now voted to allow the recreational use of marijuana & ban the use of ammunition sales, both of which violate Federal laws. And sanctuary cities have been allowed to florish left and right despite our country's sovereignty. Maybe California should simply secede from the Union since it finds it too hard to comply with Federal Law.

In 2009, Abedin was appointed deputy chief of staff to Clinton in the State Department,[16] under a "special government employee" arrangement created by the department which allowed her to work for private clients as a consultant while also serving as an adviser to the Secretary of State.[17] Under this arrangement, she did consultant work for Teneo, a strategic consulting firm whose clients included Coca-Cola and MF Global,[17] and served as a paid consultant to the Clinton Foundation, while continuing her role as body woman to Clinton.[17] The New York Times reported that an associate of Abedin's said that the arrangement also allowed her to work from her home in New York City, rather than at the State Department’s headquarters in Washington, to be able to spend more time with her child and husband.[17]
After leaving her post at the State Department in 2013, Abedin served as director of the transition team that helped Clinton return to private life,[4][18] continued her work for the Clinton Foundation,[17][18] and set up a private consulting firm, Zain Endeavors LLC.[18]
In 2010, Abedin was included in Time magazine's "40 under 40" list of a "new generation of civic leaders" and "rising stars of American politics".[19][20]

But i guess Hillary thinks its all okay because everybody else is misbehaving sexually too, at least in her mind.

Allegations of "sexual misconduct" and/or bullying happening 10+ years ago ARE ABSOLUTE NONSENSE. IF YOU WANT SOMEONE TO BELIEVE YOUR STORY OF THIS NATURE, THEN IF IT WAS REALLY THAT IMPORTANT, WHY DID YOU NOT BRING UP THE ALLEGATIONS IN A TIMELY MANNER? Quite frankly, I am getting sick and tired of hearing these out-dated stories, because they sound more like the cover up of ulterior motives. But more current allegations/charges of unwanted sexual advances and/or assault, such as those in Madison Wisc, are relevant & believable. And allegations/charges of rape no matter how far back is a different story, deserving of attention even if it occurred 100 years ago.

WHY "OPEN BORDERS & ILLEGAL MIGRATION" IS A THREAT TO OUR FREEDOM.
The short answer is that it leads to the the destruction of the very principals upon which this country was founded & is systemically corruptive & regressive. How so?
Before our country was founded & before the United Kingdom existed, monarchs & tyranny ruled the day with respect to justice.That same tyranny & injustice still exists today in Islamic countries ruled by Sharia Law. Britain may have corrected the situation a little bit, but in the British justice system the burden of proof still rest with the defendant which means tyranny is still given a break to accuse anyone opposed to it. In this country, the burden of proof is suppose to be put in the hands of the prosecution, not the defendant, thereby protecting the freedom of the defendant against false accusations. But this is not always the case, considering the position of the IRS which is legally contorted to be the defendant, thereby putting the burden of proof upon the citizen.
So now what happens when you allow people from another culture to come in without being completely vetted & informed of the demand for compliance with this basic justice principal? You have people becoming citizens who do not agree, who will seek to change the system, & who will level false accusations without constraint. And when people become citizens in a democratic society, they gain they power to change the system. This is what is at the heart of our situation today, & it has been allowed to grow and fester by a NEGLIGENT GOVERNMENT WHOSE DUTY IT IS TO PROTECT THE DOMESTIC TRANQUILITY OF THE EXISTING CITIZENS. NO MATTER THE RACE, ETHNICITY, OR CULTURE, THOSE WHO WHO COME HERE ILLEGALLY WILL FIND THEMSELVES ULTIMATELY SEEKING TO STOP THE UNCONTROLLED INFLUX OF POPULATION.

Notice that the Samaritan actually paid the inn-keeper. He did not demand that the inn-keeper take care of the man for free or forever. In other words we are not expected to give away everything for free, including our own country.

THE CLINTONS, THE LIBERAL MEDIA & THEIR SUPPORTERS ARE THE MOST VILE & HYPOCRITICAL PEOPLE EVER TO LAY CLAIM TO THE WHITE HOUSE. THEY ARE AN ABSOLUTE DISGRACE TO OUR COUNTRY. IF HILLARY IS ELECTED, THIS COUNTRY WILL NO LONGER BE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AS CONCEIVED BY OUR FOREFATHERS.

Trump needs to demonstrate that he is a changed man. We do not want some sex addict in the W.H. who can't focus on the problems at hand, like Bill Clinton. But neither do we want the likes of what the Democratic Party & Hillary have done. The final decision must come down to WHO HAS COSTED THE MOST IN PUTTING AT RISK INNOCENT LIVES & WHO HAS MOST PUT THIS COUNTRY IN JEOPARDY. That answer can only be Hillary.

No body is perfect. But there are degrees of violations, some forgivable, some not. Alpha males are obviously known for their outlandish remarks about women. And scorned women react with outlandish offensive remarks about men. The real question is, do they act on those remarks or is it all just BS. In Bill Clintons case, he acted on them while in office, MOST INAPPROPRIATE.

Good old NY TIMES still throwing red herrings at Donald Trump. 1) THERE IS NO LEGAL REQUIREMENT FOR A CANDIDATE TO RELEASE HIS TAX RECORDS. 2) OUR TAX CODE ALLOWS A PERSON WITH FINANCIAL LOSSES TO WRITE THEM OFF IN SEGMENTS OVER A PERIOD OF YEARS AT PREDETERMINED MAXIMUMS WITH ANY REMAINING LOSSES ALLOWED TO BE "CARRIED OVER" FOR AS LONG AS IT TAKES TO COMPLETE A FULL RECOVERY. 3) THAT TRUMP MAY HAVE HAD LOSSES OF $916 B IN 1995 COULD BE ENTIRELY CORRECT GIVEN HIS 1991 PURCHASE OF THE TAJ MAHAL WHICH HAS BEEN A LOSER SINCE ITS INCEPTION.
SO IT WOULD SEEM THAT THE NY TIMES IS ACCUSING THE IRS UNDER BILL CLINTON OF FAILING TO DO ITS JOB IN VERIFYING TRUMP'S CLAIMED LOSSES.

CBS 60-MINUTE interview with Jordanian King was informative. Of all the Islamic countries in the Middle East, Jordan is the most sane. Jordan's King, who traces his ancestry back to Mohamed, is a very well educated, smart & peace loving man who is committed to defeating ISIS. So it would seem the only Islamics worth dealing with are the Egypt's SISI, the Kurds & the Jordanians.
The King confirmed he advised GWB not to enter Iraq, consistent with Trump's take on our entry into Iraq. It would be fair to say that if we are to stay out of the Middle East, then muslims should be banned from entering our country, another thing consistent with Trump.
EVERY TIME YOU GET INVOLVED IN THE MIDDLE EAST (EITHER TO HELP OR DEFEAT) YOU WIND UP TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR ACTIONS. AND MORE THAN LIKELY ANY GOOD INTENTIONS THERE WILL BE MET WITH HOSTILITY. OF COURSE ISIS SHOULD BE KILLED,. BUT SO FAR THE OBAMA/HILLARY SO-CALLED SOLUTIONS (INCLUDING AIDE & GETTING RID OF ASSAD) HAVE BEEN AN ABSOLUTE FARCE. THE MIDDLE EAST HAS BEEN AT WAR SINCE WWII. THERE WILL NEVER BE ANY PEACE THERE. THE BEST YOU CAN DO IS TO KEEP IT OUT OF YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

The "NAZI" INSULT.
My own personal credo is that if a person does not claim to be something, then I give them the benefit of a doubt. As a kid working in an ice cream parlor, many of my co-workers would ridicule Rock Hudson for being a queer. I would discount the rumor, since Hudson never claimed to be one at that time. One of the main ear markings of a true "Nazi" is the claim to be a "Nazi" and arrogantly proud of it.
Today, most people have never known or even seen a Nazi. Yet politicians and their ignorant followers who publicly advocate non-profiling and non-stereotyping ARE THE WORST VIOLATORS OF THE VERY THING THEY CLAIM TO ADVOCATE. They are HYPOCRITES AND BIGOTS ALL, including the news media & judges. They are either so stupid or they have an ulterior motive to advance their own selfishly arrogant ideas &/or position for personal gain at the expense of others.

Isn't it strange? WHAT EVER CLINTON SAYS OR DOES WRONG & WHAT EVER HAPPENS WITH HER, TRUMP IS ACCUSED OF DOING OR HAVING. If Clinton gets sick, then Trump must also be sick. What ever the Clinton foundation has done wrong, the Trump foundation must have done worse. What ever insulting/slanderous things Clinton & the left say, Trump is accused of doing worse. What ever Clinton is afraid of (like upsetting the jihadists), Trump is accused of being phobic. When Clinton is caught lying & covering up, Trump is accused of the same. It is almost a game like "Mommy, Johnny did it too".
Clinton is phobic over insulting the radical islamics, but has no problem insulting the American citizens.
But a few things ares for sure. Trump never defended the rapist of a 12 year old girl. Trump never removed dishes & furnishings from the White House. Trump never admired Saul Alinsky or Margret Sanger. Judge by action or inaction as the case may be, but not by words.

Mathematical Dimension, Direction & Spin.
We think & analyze in terms of 3-dimensions BASED UPON 3 ORTHOGONAL DIRECTIONS (x,y,z). But I have suggested the possibility of a dodecahedron reference system that enables 6 dimensions BASE UPON 6 DIRECTIONS (u,v,w,x,y,z) ORTHOGONAL TO THE SURFACE PLANES OF A DODECAHEDRON.
No matter, the search for an absolute direction is complicated by the possibility of our reference system being contained within a larger reference system & its orientation within that larger reference system.
However, this could not apply to extremely small particles, where direction is established by "spin". So on a larger scale, it must be the aggregate "spin" that establishes "TRUE DIRECTION", & it would behoove us to assure that our reference system is in alignment with the direction of overall "spin".

CATCHING THE POINT.
If U235 is more unstable than U238, then it must be the arrangement & shapes of sub-particles (if not the forces ) within that cause the difference.
A point in space is seen to be virtual & of a symmetrical shape. Perfect spheres are also virtual, incapable of enclosing space in reality. The only real things that are regular/symmetrical in shape & capable of enclosure are: a tetrahedron, a cube, or a dodecahedron.
Hypothesis:
A particle must enclose the space it occupies, or else it is not a particle. To enclose a point in space, the smallest particle must also be regular and symmetrical in shape, ie, a tetrahedron, cube, or dodecahedron. Irregular shapes require space within an assemblage of regular shapes. However, a moving particle can trace out a path that is perfectly spherical about a virtual point, possibly by bending direction in space/time itself.

For all we know, that first original human seed might have originated on a completely different planet. If either side were really honest with itself {and therefore honest with others), they would acknowledge this truth of the matter and give room to expression of those beliefs that do not unreasonably impose as being matters of fact.

"EQUAL" means EXACTLY EQUAL IN ALL SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES, not nearly equal, not approximately equal, not almost equal, but EXACTLY EQUAL. There are animals, like CoCo the signing gorilla, who demonstrate/exhibit capabilities in communication that some would call human-like deserving of human rights. This is ABSOLUTE NONSENSE. Just because I can swim, does that mean I'm a fish? All animals communicate via sex. Does that mean all animals are "equal" deserving of the same abstract rights of which they have no cognizance?
As compassionate beings, we must not let our senses be blinded to the most obvious differences to the point that our view of "equality" becomes distorted. "DISCRIMINATION" is an important higher level attribute of human existence. It is not the same as "UNJUST DISPARITIZATION".

Obama said he's frustrated with gun laws.
You got a problem? Then start at the source. START DOING YOUR JOB IN PROTECTING CITIZENS FROM CRIME. BEGIN WITH CAPITAL PUNISHMENT FOR BEYOND DOUBT MURDERERS AND STOP ALL OF THE WHINY "CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT" GARBAGE AND STOP ALL OF THE PHONY DOG AND PONY THEATRICS. You have to earn the trust of citizens, not by crying about every little stupid thing when people (including our military) are at risk day in and day out and not by offering them token bones like ObamaCare and same-sex marriage. Maybe then you might get some cooperation on gun control. But until then, FORGET IT.

Liberals would label & excuse the violent actions taken against police and innocent citizens as being "SIMPLY THE RESULT OF INDIVIDUAL MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS". So if these violent events are nothing more than the result of deficient "mental health", then what we have is a communicable disease that has grown far out of proportion, becoming an epidemic that warrants the quarantine of the large masses of people who have caught the disease (at least according to the liberal's explanation). And of course, those in political power will be the authority when it comes to designating who is mentally ill and who is not, which is the liberal's hope.
THE FACT IS, THESE ARE DELIBERATE ACTIONS OF FREE WILL THAT DEMAND THE ELIMINATION OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS COMMITTING SUCH HEINOUS ACTS. IT IS "WRONGFUL BEHAVIOR", NOT "MENTAL STATE", THAT REQUIRES OUR ATTENTION & CORRECTION. But then the liberal mind believes in determinism, not free will, which says "Your behavior is predetermined, therefore you are not responsible".

 Understanding "SPIN" is key in relating relativity to quantum mechanics. In relativity, "Spin" is the rotation ("MOTION" ) of matter (made up of particles) about a fixed central point that may or may not be uniform about a central axis. In quantum physics, sub-atomic particles are said to have "spin". "Spin" causes centrifugal force which produces angular acceleration, which is the same as "Gravity".
The attached picture shows "spin" in terms of cartesian coordinates, ie, notice the "BOX" which is not a dodecahedron. A single point in space can spin continuously without becoming tangled. Notice that after a 360-degree rotation, the spiral flips between clockwise and counterclockwise orientations. It returns to its original configuration after spinning a full 720 degrees.
The question is this. "IS THE CARTESIAN REFERENCE SYSTEM ADEQUATE ENOUGH TO CORRECTLY ANALYZE SPIN?'." |

 THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX
There are only 3 types of symmetrical enclosures: 1. Tetrahedron, 2. Cube, & 3. Dodecahedron. It is physically impossible to enclose space within an assembly of any other equal sided polygons. Any other enclosed systems require the bending of space.
SYMMETRY is key when it comes to spatial reference systems. The Cartesian system is based upon orthogonality to six parallel planes, which leads us to believe there are only 3 dimensions in space-time. However, a 6 dimensional reference system can be based upon the orthogonality of 6 reference lines to the parallel planes of a dodecahedron. So maybe there really are 6 dimensions (x,y,z,u,v,w) in space, ie SIX DIRECTIONS, plus the 7th dimension of time.
The question remains - CAN A BUNCH OF DODECAHEDRONS BE ASSEMBLED TOGETHER SUCH THAT THEY CAN ENCLOSE A SPACE WHICH IS BOUNDED BY A DODECAHEDRON? If so, then we might say that this is a realistic picture of space, & wherein the smallest particle is a dodecahedron itself. However, the same question might be ask regarding a tetrahedron, which would be even a smaller particle. |

Indivisibility makes measurement impossible.
And individual object is a singularity which has no objects within it.
Therefore, it is impossible to define a spacial reference system within it, because a spacial reference system requires two or more objects that are at rest with respect to each other within that reference system.
Furthermore, if time is synonymous with motion and motion is the change in position of an object within that reference system, then it can be argued that there is no passage of time within a singularity, because there are no objects moving within it.
We may never be able to resolve relativity with quantum mechanics, nice as it would be

SPEECH GIVEN TO SURF CITY TEA - Jun 27, 2016.
I am suppose to talk to you about how the government spends more money on convicted criminals as opposed to their victims. But folks, this is only a symptom of something that goes much deeper than mere money. The fact is, we have a "criminal justice system, not a "victim justice system" where bad behavior is continuously rewarded at the expense of victims. To solve this disparity, we need to get into the liberal mindsets of those who have allowed this to happen. It starts with the refusal to invoke capital punishment when & where it is justified.
Now before I go any further, let me say that all victimization is relative. In a sense, we are all victims of something. Yet as responsible adults we don't go running around crying our eyes out over every little correctable wrong that befalls us. But there are some that do. Remember the LA fireman who got a ton of money for being tricked into eating dog food by his co-workers. Or how about that poor Mississippi girl who won a $1 million by suing her school for shutting down its prom because of her sexual preference. These are frivolous nuisances that should never be given any attention.
But there are some wrongs that are absolutely irreversible and that
can never be repaired, like murder, like rape & child molestation.
These are wrongs that challenge our moral compass in rectifying them. We become faced with the paradox of our own compassion vs. justice and whether or not we have strength of character to carry out our duties with respect to our fellow human beings. One would think that those elected or appointed to high office would have such strength of character, but as we have seen that is not always the case.
And so I am here to talk to you about compassion vs. justice in
conjunction with capital punishment. Why is this important?
Very simply because the lying liberal left mindset uses the claim of being compassionate for the purpose of avoiding its duties with regard to justice. Instead of pursuing the course of capital punishment in those cases calling for it, they throw the baby out with the bath water and opt for stripping away all defenses from the victims, along with the rest of society. In addition, they use this same excuse for not acting on lesser issues, like border control. So I wish to share with you here some of my thoughts in response to the absolute nonsense surrounding these matters.
====================================================
AS I SAID BEFORE, WE DO NOT HAVE A "VICTIM JUSTICE SYSTEM". WE HAVE A "CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM". What we need is a BALANCED JUSTICE SYSTEM. Right now, it is so unbalanced that we are tossing offenders out of prison left & right. The victims of heinous crimes are not traumatized just once by the perpetrators. THEY ARE TRAUMATIZED REPEATEDLY OVER & OVER AGAIN BY A LEGAL SYSTEM THAT RESEMBLES SOME SICK RITUAL. Meanwhile, we seem to be engaged in a strange ever growing collection of dangerous individuals who are fed and cared for, the way some would collect pets. My question is, how big is that collection going become before our children and grandchildren are simply over whelmed by it?
So how should we be corrrecting this situation? Quite simply, my belief is that we should be executing those who have been well proven and convicted of their murderous crimes. I would submit that if you do not have the stomach to carry out the ultimate penalty for commission of the ultimate crime, then your entire so-called legal system is a complete joke. We should not be allowing the executions of well proven murderers to linger year after year as the victims families continue to suffer opened wounds. At the same time, we need to be ever watchful of not handing down wrongful convictions. Nevertheless, when there is absolutely no shadow of a doubt, then murderers like the Boston Bomber or the Ft Hood shooter should be executed expeditiously without a lot of boo-hoo.
There are those who say "But that's not who we are". My question to them is, "Well just who in the hell are you anyway?". "Do you just stand by watch your children being murdered & give the murderer a cookie & glass of milk?".
There are those who say "You are just blood thirsty". My answer to them is "Heck no I'm not blood thirsty. I hate the sight of blood. I just want the problem solved"
There are those who say that being imprisoned is worse than death. Do you mean to tell me that this is all about nothing but revenge? How stupidly simplistic can you get? This is about giving closure to victims and protecting a society, not about revenge.
Then there are those who say that such killers will never again go free. Really? How about El Chapo or some of the more recent breakouts we have seen? How about all of the parole hearings, like Leslie Van Houtten? Doris Tate, the mother of Sharon Tate, spent her entire remaining life going to parole hearings of the Manson family. Doris Tate is dead. The Manson family still lives. Is that what you call compassion? Is that what you call justice?
There are those who say "Well, it is just too expensive to execute".
My question to them is "WHY?". "HOW MUCH IS AN INNOCENT HUMAN LIFE WORTH?". "ARE YOU SO DAMN CHEAP THAT IT DOES NOT MATTER TO YOU?"
Folks, we have listened to these stupidly outrageous arguments for nine decades now, starting with Clarence Darrow in his defense of Leopold & Loeb who murdered Bobby Frank in the 1920s. And over these nine decades we have witnessed the same scene being played out over and over again, with the murderers almost always getting the breaks. Leopold was released in 1958. During WW II, Nazis brutally murdered American soldiers at Malmedy. Those Nazis were subsequently tried and sentenced to hang, but it never happened. 1969 saw the Manson family tried and sentenced to death for the murders of Sharon Tate & the Bianca Family. Was the sentence ever carried out. Hell No. And ever since that time, there have been so many murders and victims, we can't even count or remember them all. What's worse is we are now feeding and caring for mass murderers who have assailed our own military at Ft Hood and in other public places. It is a disgusting scene that has no end.
====================================================
What is our justification for executing a well proven murderer? To answer this, let me ask, have any of you seen the online lecture series from Harvard Law School called "THE MORAL SIDE OF MURDER" by Michael Sandell? It is on YOUTUBE if you are interested. Without getting into all of the details, let me simply say that the killing of another person can be justified IF THE PERSON BEING KILLED CONSENTS TO IT. This has implications for the right to die and capital punishment. There are some very good thought provoking & moral arguments for it, especially when you consider some of the well known disasters of our time. One of the best examples comes from the true story of the whaling ship Essex,
which Herman Melville based his book upon, "Moby Dick". The 1821 story was recently portrayed in the movie "In The Heart Of The Sea". The bottom line is that, rather than drawing straws, some of the disaster victims offered their bodies so that their fellow survivors might live. It is gruesome, but the fact is they consented to be sacrificed, just as Jesus Christ Himself went to the cross so others might live.
So killing another person can be justified if the person consents to it. But in addition to that, there is an old adage,
"ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS".
And so it can be reasoned that if a person acts to take another person's life without their consent, then by virtue of their actions, they have implicitly given their own consent to be killed without their explicit consent. This is the justification for lawful execution.
Christianity tells us that we are made in the image of God.
Our bodies have a heart, a brain, and other organs that seek to get along. But our bodies also have an immune system called T-CELLS that actually kill other cells to protect the rest of the body. So it should be that our government serves as T-Cells to kill the cancerous cells of society. What we have today is an IMMUNE DEFICIENCY DISORDER.
====================================================
Ask yourself this.
"WOULD THERE BE ANY EVIL IN THIS WORLD IF THERE WERE NO HUMAN BEINGS AT ALL". FOLKS, THE FACT IS NOT ALL OF HUMANITY DESERVES A CONTINUED LIFE. NOT ALL OF HUMANITY DESERVES COMPASSION. BUT NEITHER DOES HUMANITY NEED BRUTALITY FOR REAL JUSTICE TO PREVAIL. WE SEEM TO FIND OURSELVES SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN THE EXTREMES OF WHAT IS ERRONEOUSLY CALLED ISLAMIC JUSTICE & UNFETTERED HUMANITARIAN COMPASSION.
When it comes to Islamic justice, Islam is a run-away immune system. A run away immune system is as bad as a cancer. There is no compassion in it. Now I'm not here to preach to you, but let me say something about Jesus Christ, because He is so widely seen as being the ultimate compassionate humanitarian. In addition to his compassion, there is plenty of evidence in the Bible to to show his "just side" as well. Most notably is a quote from Rev 18:6 which says "My People, give unto Babylon twice the poison she has given you". My own personal belief is that if there is a God, then Jesus Christ is God and the only God, something that Islam completely rejects & condemns. We do not want anything that even slightly resembles Islamic law. Suffice it to say, we could end the menace Islamic in this country simply by putting a ban on Sharia Law, if we really wanted to.
On the other side of the coin from Islam, we have the Christophobic
atheistic community which claims to be compassionate . I do not
buy into their arguments of scientific determinism that says everything was predetermined in the Big Bang, and therefore you have no "free will" of your own. This fatalistic argument against "free will" seems to be one of the central premises of the liberal mindset in excusing wrongful acts. They say "You were bound to do it anyway, so it is not your fault. Therefore we will not hold you responsible". Nonsense.
Now let me ask you, how many here are familar with C. S. Lewis & his book "MERE CHRISTIANITY". He was a famous literary professor, along with his friend J R TOKIEN, at Cambridge & Oxford Universities. He was also an atheist turned Christian. He wrote many novels & books, but MERE CHRISTIANITY is one of his best. Let me read you a quote from his book. He says: "THE MOST DANGEROUS THING YOU CAN DO IS TO TAKE ANY SINGLE IMPULSE AND SET IT UP AS THE THING YOU OUGHT FOLLOW AT ALL COST. YOU MIGHT THINK LOVE OF HUMANITY IN GENERAL IS SAFE, BUT IT IS NOT. IF YOU LEAVE OUT JUSTICE YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF BREAKING AGREEMENTS & FAKING EVIDENCE IN TRIALS FOR THE SAKE OF HUMANITY AND BECOME IN THE END A CRUEL AND TREACHEROUS PERSON."
This was written in 1943.
Now let me ask you, how many here are familiar with Dieitrich Bonhoeffer? He was the famous German theologian who helped in the conspiracy to assassinate Hitler & dubbed Hitler the Anti-Christ. He was ultimately put in a concentration camp where he died within months of the war's end. His story is told in the movie, "Agent Of Grace". When questioned by his theological colleagues about his support for the assassination of Hitler, his reply was: BETTER TO DO EVIL THAN ACTUALLY BE EVIL.
So quite obviously, some pretty important & intelligent people have limitations when it comes to blithely adhering to calls for TOLERANCE based upon the UNCONDITIONAL LOVE of humanity.
But what about "COMPASSION"? I would maintain that there are two types of compassion: "PRUDENT COMPASSION" & "IMPRUDENT COMPASSION". With all things being relative, "IMPRUDENT COMPASSION" is what we have been seeing so much of lately. It places priority on those who are less deserving than those who are deserving. And what we have today is a government that is IMPRUDENTLY COMPASSIONATE and screwing its citizens in favor of wrong doers. This amounts to "SOCIAL INJUSTICE".
====================================================
So who is responsible for this social injustice?
Answer - THE LIBERAL COURTS AND THE LIBERAL EXECUTIVE BRANCHES. As C S LEWIS said, they have become cruel & treacherous, even unto their own. Remember in 1984, California Prop 137 which was to limit the amount of aide given to illegals & which was approved by the citizens of California? The court overturned it. Remember Prop 8 that opposed same sex marriage and which the people approved. The court again overturned the will of the people. Remember DOMA, the DOMESTIC MARRIAGE ACT which Congress passed. The court overturned that one.
Now the court is engaged in overturning almost every ban approved of by the numerous states.More and more the court is controlling every little detail & aspect of American will and life, even when it comes to the latrine.
I am sure you all are familar with the Constitution. I challenge you to find just where in that document or any of its amendments is there any reference to the alleged POWER OF JUDICIAL REVIEW? It's simply not there. Title 3 says that the Supreme Court will follow the regulations of Congress, not the other way around. Suffice it to say, WE HAVE A CONSTITUTIONAL BODY PERFORMING UNCONSTITUTIONAL POWERS.
Folks, we do not live in a democratic republic any more. We are living a lie.This country is being run by the privileged biased few, not by the people. It's called an oligarchy or jurocracy.
So what is the answer to this problem? I suggest that we make an amendment that says THE COURT SHALL NOT OVERTURN ANY
CITIZEN APPROVED MEASURE WITHOUT THE CONFIRMATION OF CONGRESS. The pledge of allegiance says "WITH JUSTICE FOR ALL", NOT "WITH COMPASSION FOR ALL".
====================================================
To end, let me say this.
This is not a call to justify blood thirsty revenge.
This is a call to STOP UNJUSTIFIED MURDER and offer the PRUDENT COMPASSION & THE REAL JUSTICE THAT A CHRISTIAN BASED SOCIETY DESERVES, & not some phony baloney imprudent compassion of the liberal mindset & the lip service to get votes. It is a call to stop rewarding bad behavior.
It is a call to reign in the unfettered alleged powers of the court
and restore our democratic republic by assuring the Congress maintains the control originally given it in the Constitution.
It is a call to prevent Islam from ever infecting our legal system by
banning Sharia Law. In short, it is a call for common sense sanity.
The gross negligence of our government has made victims of us all. If these problems are ever to be solved, then the renegade court and this miserable piece of what we call a president must absolutely go. And I hope Ted Cruz runs again after Donald Trump becomes president, because the Donald will only be able to solve part of the problem, not the whole thing.
With that said,
I Thankyou and God Bless You All
I am suppose to talk to you about how the government spends more money on convicted criminals as opposed to their victims. But folks, this is only a symptom of something that goes much deeper than mere money. The fact is, we have a "criminal justice system, not a "victim justice system" where bad behavior is continuously rewarded at the expense of victims. To solve this disparity, we need to get into the liberal mindsets of those who have allowed this to happen. It starts with the refusal to invoke capital punishment when & where it is justified.
Now before I go any further, let me say that all victimization is relative. In a sense, we are all victims of something. Yet as responsible adults we don't go running around crying our eyes out over every little correctable wrong that befalls us. But there are some that do. Remember the LA fireman who got a ton of money for being tricked into eating dog food by his co-workers. Or how about that poor Mississippi girl who won a $1 million by suing her school for shutting down its prom because of her sexual preference. These are frivolous nuisances that should never be given any attention.
But there are some wrongs that are absolutely irreversible and that
can never be repaired, like murder, like rape & child molestation.
These are wrongs that challenge our moral compass in rectifying them. We become faced with the paradox of our own compassion vs. justice and whether or not we have strength of character to carry out our duties with respect to our fellow human beings. One would think that those elected or appointed to high office would have such strength of character, but as we have seen that is not always the case.
And so I am here to talk to you about compassion vs. justice in
conjunction with capital punishment. Why is this important?
Very simply because the lying liberal left mindset uses the claim of being compassionate for the purpose of avoiding its duties with regard to justice. Instead of pursuing the course of capital punishment in those cases calling for it, they throw the baby out with the bath water and opt for stripping away all defenses from the victims, along with the rest of society. In addition, they use this same excuse for not acting on lesser issues, like border control. So I wish to share with you here some of my thoughts in response to the absolute nonsense surrounding these matters.
====================================================
AS I SAID BEFORE, WE DO NOT HAVE A "VICTIM JUSTICE SYSTEM". WE HAVE A "CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM". What we need is a BALANCED JUSTICE SYSTEM. Right now, it is so unbalanced that we are tossing offenders out of prison left & right. The victims of heinous crimes are not traumatized just once by the perpetrators. THEY ARE TRAUMATIZED REPEATEDLY OVER & OVER AGAIN BY A LEGAL SYSTEM THAT RESEMBLES SOME SICK RITUAL. Meanwhile, we seem to be engaged in a strange ever growing collection of dangerous individuals who are fed and cared for, the way some would collect pets. My question is, how big is that collection going become before our children and grandchildren are simply over whelmed by it?
So how should we be corrrecting this situation? Quite simply, my belief is that we should be executing those who have been well proven and convicted of their murderous crimes. I would submit that if you do not have the stomach to carry out the ultimate penalty for commission of the ultimate crime, then your entire so-called legal system is a complete joke. We should not be allowing the executions of well proven murderers to linger year after year as the victims families continue to suffer opened wounds. At the same time, we need to be ever watchful of not handing down wrongful convictions. Nevertheless, when there is absolutely no shadow of a doubt, then murderers like the Boston Bomber or the Ft Hood shooter should be executed expeditiously without a lot of boo-hoo.
There are those who say "But that's not who we are". My question to them is, "Well just who in the hell are you anyway?". "Do you just stand by watch your children being murdered & give the murderer a cookie & glass of milk?".
There are those who say "You are just blood thirsty". My answer to them is "Heck no I'm not blood thirsty. I hate the sight of blood. I just want the problem solved"
There are those who say that being imprisoned is worse than death. Do you mean to tell me that this is all about nothing but revenge? How stupidly simplistic can you get? This is about giving closure to victims and protecting a society, not about revenge.
Then there are those who say that such killers will never again go free. Really? How about El Chapo or some of the more recent breakouts we have seen? How about all of the parole hearings, like Leslie Van Houtten? Doris Tate, the mother of Sharon Tate, spent her entire remaining life going to parole hearings of the Manson family. Doris Tate is dead. The Manson family still lives. Is that what you call compassion? Is that what you call justice?
There are those who say "Well, it is just too expensive to execute".
My question to them is "WHY?". "HOW MUCH IS AN INNOCENT HUMAN LIFE WORTH?". "ARE YOU SO DAMN CHEAP THAT IT DOES NOT MATTER TO YOU?"
Folks, we have listened to these stupidly outrageous arguments for nine decades now, starting with Clarence Darrow in his defense of Leopold & Loeb who murdered Bobby Frank in the 1920s. And over these nine decades we have witnessed the same scene being played out over and over again, with the murderers almost always getting the breaks. Leopold was released in 1958. During WW II, Nazis brutally murdered American soldiers at Malmedy. Those Nazis were subsequently tried and sentenced to hang, but it never happened. 1969 saw the Manson family tried and sentenced to death for the murders of Sharon Tate & the Bianca Family. Was the sentence ever carried out. Hell No. And ever since that time, there have been so many murders and victims, we can't even count or remember them all. What's worse is we are now feeding and caring for mass murderers who have assailed our own military at Ft Hood and in other public places. It is a disgusting scene that has no end.
====================================================
What is our justification for executing a well proven murderer? To answer this, let me ask, have any of you seen the online lecture series from Harvard Law School called "THE MORAL SIDE OF MURDER" by Michael Sandell? It is on YOUTUBE if you are interested. Without getting into all of the details, let me simply say that the killing of another person can be justified IF THE PERSON BEING KILLED CONSENTS TO IT. This has implications for the right to die and capital punishment. There are some very good thought provoking & moral arguments for it, especially when you consider some of the well known disasters of our time. One of the best examples comes from the true story of the whaling ship Essex,
which Herman Melville based his book upon, "Moby Dick". The 1821 story was recently portrayed in the movie "In The Heart Of The Sea". The bottom line is that, rather than drawing straws, some of the disaster victims offered their bodies so that their fellow survivors might live. It is gruesome, but the fact is they consented to be sacrificed, just as Jesus Christ Himself went to the cross so others might live.
So killing another person can be justified if the person consents to it. But in addition to that, there is an old adage,
"ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS".
And so it can be reasoned that if a person acts to take another person's life without their consent, then by virtue of their actions, they have implicitly given their own consent to be killed without their explicit consent. This is the justification for lawful execution.
Christianity tells us that we are made in the image of God.
Our bodies have a heart, a brain, and other organs that seek to get along. But our bodies also have an immune system called T-CELLS that actually kill other cells to protect the rest of the body. So it should be that our government serves as T-Cells to kill the cancerous cells of society. What we have today is an IMMUNE DEFICIENCY DISORDER.
====================================================
Ask yourself this.
"WOULD THERE BE ANY EVIL IN THIS WORLD IF THERE WERE NO HUMAN BEINGS AT ALL". FOLKS, THE FACT IS NOT ALL OF HUMANITY DESERVES A CONTINUED LIFE. NOT ALL OF HUMANITY DESERVES COMPASSION. BUT NEITHER DOES HUMANITY NEED BRUTALITY FOR REAL JUSTICE TO PREVAIL. WE SEEM TO FIND OURSELVES SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN THE EXTREMES OF WHAT IS ERRONEOUSLY CALLED ISLAMIC JUSTICE & UNFETTERED HUMANITARIAN COMPASSION.
When it comes to Islamic justice, Islam is a run-away immune system. A run away immune system is as bad as a cancer. There is no compassion in it. Now I'm not here to preach to you, but let me say something about Jesus Christ, because He is so widely seen as being the ultimate compassionate humanitarian. In addition to his compassion, there is plenty of evidence in the Bible to to show his "just side" as well. Most notably is a quote from Rev 18:6 which says "My People, give unto Babylon twice the poison she has given you". My own personal belief is that if there is a God, then Jesus Christ is God and the only God, something that Islam completely rejects & condemns. We do not want anything that even slightly resembles Islamic law. Suffice it to say, we could end the menace Islamic in this country simply by putting a ban on Sharia Law, if we really wanted to.
On the other side of the coin from Islam, we have the Christophobic
atheistic community which claims to be compassionate . I do not
buy into their arguments of scientific determinism that says everything was predetermined in the Big Bang, and therefore you have no "free will" of your own. This fatalistic argument against "free will" seems to be one of the central premises of the liberal mindset in excusing wrongful acts. They say "You were bound to do it anyway, so it is not your fault. Therefore we will not hold you responsible". Nonsense.
Now let me ask you, how many here are familar with C. S. Lewis & his book "MERE CHRISTIANITY". He was a famous literary professor, along with his friend J R TOKIEN, at Cambridge & Oxford Universities. He was also an atheist turned Christian.

An old man, a boy and a donkey were going to town.
The boy rode on the donkey, and the old man walked.
As they went along they passed some people who remarked "What a shame, the old man is walking, the boy is riding."
The man and boy thought maybe the critics were right, so they changed positions.
Later they passed some people who remarked "What a shame, he makes that little boy walk".
So they decided they'd both walk.
Soon they passed some more people who remarked "They're really stupid to walk when they have a decent donkey to ride."
So they both decided to ride the donkey.
They passed some people who shamed them by saying "How awful to put such a load on a poor donkey."
The boy and the man figured they were probably right, so they decide to carry the donkey.
As they crossed the bridge, they lost their grip on the donkey, the donkey fell into the river and drowned.
The moral of the story: If you try to please everyone, you might as well kiss your ass goodbye

The NY Times states that the intelligencia is fearful that Donald Trump would violate "The Rule Of Law". Hell, they broke the rule of law a long time ago when the courts started overturning voter approved, Congressional approved, & state approved issues. "Law" is nothing more than relative common agreement. There is nothing absolute about it. And at the current time in this country, there is far more common disagreement than agreement. You can thank the experimenting, gutless, hypocritical, lying liberal left for that. But at least we now know who our real friends are and who the real enemies are, the real enemies being those who have alienated the normal folk via their self serving demands and their feigned charges of criminal discrimination.

Well Stephen, according to you it is all PREDETERMINED since we do not have free will. And as you said the universe exists simply because it "needed" to exist, so it is that Trump support exists because it needs to exist. But apparently you do not even believe your own words. And here we thought you knew everything.

The BBC (British Bitch Corporation) news is at it again. Their first headline was "Donald Trump rally sparks clashes in San Diego". "NOTICE HOW THEY BLAME THE DESPICABLE BEHAVIOR ON TRUMP. Screw the Brits. With friends like that, who needs enemies.
The Washington Post has 20 investigative reporters digging into every aspect of Trump's history. Gee, maybe he peed in his paints when he was 3.
The NY Times touted untrue stories about Trump's alleged misogyny. Of course, the worst misogyny in the world originates with the Muslim ideology. More BS from newspapers who are a dying breed, only able to sell their garbage to illegal foreigners who live in their sanctuary cities, trash the American Flag & fly their own flag. That is not the kind of crap that so many American soldiers fought & died for.
And the liberal press all cry that Trump is not an experienced politician. Well just what in the hell political experience did Obama have? A community organizer = Practically No government experience. Trump has demonstrated far more intelligence than Obama ever did.
The liberal press & liberal courts have pushed this country to the brink of absurdity. THE LIES, THE SLANDER, THE LIBEL ARE BEYOND THE PALL OF ACCEPTABILITY. A WITCH HUNT IN SEARCH OF ALLEGED HATE/FEAR MONGERING IS JUST THAT, A WITCH HUNT THAT BECOMES A SELF-FULFILLING PROPHECY.

If you are a typical liberal Californian, don't complain about the traffic, because you are the one who created it, & a bullet train is not going to solve the problem.

QUESTIONING THE INTERPRETATION OR EDWIN HUBBLE'S 1929 RED SHIFT OBSERVATION.
I don't claim to be a genius or even an exceptional smart individual. But I do know stupidity when I see it. Among other things, stupidity includes claiming you know everything about everything , including the claims that God does not exist as many renowned scientist insist on doing. The more they do it, the more I question their veracity in their areas of alleged expertise.
The case in point is some scientists' interpretation of Hubble's observation that the universe seems to be expanding at an accelerated rate. My question is, is this acceleration linear or curved. If it is linear as some are apparently saying, then the prospect is that the universe will just continue to expand forever into nothingness.
But let's stop & think for a moment. It has already been proven that gravity warps space-time, so we know space-time to be malleable by objects. So envision, if you will, a spherical space-time that is bounded. For the sake of argument, let's say the universe is bounded by the total gravity of all matter in space-time, although it might be argued that gravity is too weak over long distances. (We still do not know enough about dark matter which is said to comprise 97% of the universe). Nevertheless, imagine a Big Bang occurring at a point on that sphere. If space-time is curved , then it seems that it would close on itself, and eventually all of the pieces would come to find themselves colliding again at a point opposite from whence they came. In other words, space-time might be a polarized sphere. Intuitively, you have certainly noticed that the farther away you look at things, the more they vanish to a point.
What does this have to do with Hubble's observation. If space-time is curved, then of course those objects that are farther away would exhibit a red-shift, even though they might not be traveling faster than objects that are closer. Distance in space-time would stretch the wave lengths as they traveled from the far-away objects in a circular motion as opposed to a linear motion.
It would appear that there is plenty of evidence to suggest that our universe is bounded and that future big bangs are in store.
This does not answer the question of "creation" or who or what created all of this. But to suggest that creation exists "because it needed to exist" is just a bunch of hooey.

Determinism is the philosophical belief that all events transpire in virtue of some necessity and are therefore inevitable. Notably, the idea that the past choices of certain rational agents could have been performed differently - or even the idea that the future decisions of such agents could turn out to be other than what they will - is usually challenged under this view. Thus, the "problem" of free will - or the idea of free will as being an "illusion" -
THE FACT IS, IF YOU DO NOT HAVE FREE WILL, THEN YOU, AS A PERSON, DO NOT EVEN EXIST, IE, YOU ARE SIMPLY AN OBJECT, & ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS INVOLVING "YOU" AS AN OBJECT IS NOT THE RESULT OF YOUR OWN SPIRIT, BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO SPIRIT. THAT MEANS YOU ARE NOT ACCOUNTABLE FOR YOUR ACTIONS.
AND SO IT IS THAT WE HAVE A FATALISTIC SOCIETY WHOSE MEMBERS SAY "ANYTHING I DO IS NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY, BECAUSE IT WAS ALL PREDETERMINED".. WHAT AN ABSOLUTE BUNCH OF ABSOLUTE CRAP. INDIVIDUAL FREE WILL DOES EXIST WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES BY WHICH IT IS LIMITED. FREE WILL WAS PREDETERMINED TO EXIST BY THAT WHICH IS UNBOUNDED. AND IF IT IS UNBOUNDED, THEN YOU CAN NEITHER PROVE, NOR DISPROVE, ITS EXISTENCE.

MATHEMATICAL BOUNDARIES.
"Enclosure" , ie, the mathematical boundaries of a closed system, is essential to our understanding of reality. It would seem obvious and safe to say, "If you cannot enclose it, then you cannot define it", whatever "it" is.
But just because you cannot define "it" does not mean that "it" does not exist.
Perfect spacial enclosure is not possible with any "box" greater than a dodecagon, ie, each side being an equilateral polygon of 5 sides. This means you cannot define a perfect sphere enclosure by piecing together any number of equilateral polygons of increasing sides greater than 5 sides. Piecing together 6-sided equilateral hexagons results in a planar flat surface, because it is impossible to bend in the 3rd direction. And if we try to piece together equilateral polygons having more than 6 sides, well, we just don't get things to fit together so nicely. So there is no such thing as a perfect spherical enclosure within 3-dimensional space alone.
But what happens when we add in time as a dimension to form space-time and extend our existing cartesian reference system? And what of gravity that creates angular momentum & is said to "warp" space-time? It may be that it is time & gravity that allows a warping process & enables the definition of a perfect spherical enclosure via the assemblage of equilateral polygons having more than 6 sides. Of course, this is just mere speculation, but still, who knows?
Einstein noted that the "speed of time" decreases as you accelerate and visa versa as you decelerate. Similarly, it has been noted & proven that the "speed of time" varies inversely to the magnitude of the force of gravity. This means that time "speeds up" the further away you are from the "center" of gravity and "slows down" the closer you are to the "center" of gravity. This brings into question the nature of the "center" of gravity. is it a perfectly enclosed "box" in space capable of being mathematically measured in 3-dimensional spacial cartesian coordinates alone, or is it a "perfect sphere" (a point) defined by time itself & only mathematically measured via an extended cartesian system? A 3rd possibility is that it is a 3-dimensional enclosure of irregularity, ie, an "imperfect" enclosure. So we are now faced with questioning whether or not reality is "symetrical" or "asymetrical". This is the problem facing current day scientists.
The universe has been thought of as a singular "closed" system, but whether or not that is true has yet to be discovered, because we know not whether time is finite or infinite (at least to the best of my information). It is interesting to note that as the "speed of time" decreases, the perception of infinity increases. On the other hand, when the "speed of time" increases, the perception of "finiteness" vanishes, which challenges the very existence of reality. It is also interesting to note that the "speed of time" may also be represented by its square, T x T, an expression replete throughout Classical Physics.
Despite all of these observations, let's just end by saying at this point in time, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE, INCLUDING THE EXISTENCE OF GOD.

SOCIAL PROBLEM PIGGY-BACKING IS WRONG, UNJUST & A FORM OF EXTREMISM that will ruin this country if it has not already.
It amounts to likening and treating perceived social problems of a lesser nature to those social problems of a more serious nature.
Examples include likening the problems of the homosexual community, or the problem of the Islamic community, or the problems of the illegals to those of the African American community, the difference being that those lesser problems are of a voluntary nature, where the more serious problems are of an involuntary nature. In more extreme cases it entails likening the problems of bullying to the problems of homicide victims. In so doing it is an injustice that minimizes the problems of a more serious nature.

There is only one problem with the idea of taxing the rich to feed the poor - THE MIDDLE MAN who invariably reinterprets who is poor and spreads injustice, thus practicing extorted charity. Communism tested the idea and failed. Better it is that charity be voluntary & direct. But also better it is that laws and justice penalize those who cheat and exploit the innocent weak.
Prudent compassion (not unconditional love) is the real answer to real problems that optimizes real justice, not some give-away program that rewards bad behavior by failing to carry-through on just law enforcement & just punishment. The perception of social injustice must not be so focused that it actually eclipses the reality of harm to innocent people and the exposure of children to vile practices no matter their natural born attributes..

LIFE IS NOT FAIR. That may sound like a cold and callous outlook, but it speaks the truth. Real solutions to life's problems must have an order of priority. If you do not address the most critical problems first because you outright reject the possibility of any solutions contrary to your belief system, then you are not likely to solve any problems, but are more likely to create chaos. In today's political environment, we find ourselves immersed in the trivial problems as the more major problems continue to grow in strength and complexity simply because our belief system will not allow us to consider real and viable solutions to those major problems. I am referring to myriad of trivial alleged human rights which eclipse much larger problems of outright unjust murder.
All human suffering due to injustice is relative & caused by other humans. The minute you turn your back on those closest to you who have suffered the greatest injustices & in pursuit of correcting what you perceive to be injustices that are in fact of lesser consequence within your own realm, then you become part of the problem rather than the solution. That is exactly what happened with the Jamiel Shaw family, ie, the larger society turned their backs on them.
Those professing the Christian faith who have not the courage to invoke capital punishment when there is absolutely no question of the correctness and practicality of its use for the purpose of justice on the part of victims of violent crime are part of the problem, not the solution, and further enabling the commission of violent crimes. Having the blood of a murderer on your hands is an abhorrent thought, BUT THE FACT IS THAT IF YOU CANNOT INVOKE SUCH JUSTIFIED EXECUTION, THEN YOU DO NOT BELONG IN ANY POSITION THAT SPEAKS TO JUSTICE AND LOVE OF HUMANITY. IT IS A STRANGE PARADOX WHICH PARALLELS THE T-CELLS OF THE HUMAN BODY'S IMMUNE SYSTEM, THE HUMAN BODY PRESUMED TO BE CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF GOD.
Those blaming the gun for senseless murder rather than the person committing the murder are part of the problem, not the solution, and further enabling the commission of violent crimes.
Those arguing that any ideology that claims to be a religion has the right of religious freedom, when in fact it is behaving contrary to the improvement of the human condition, are part of the problem, not the solution.
Those arguing for homosexual marriage when there is an alleged religion out there that seeks to carry out jihad on a global scale are part of the problem, not the solution.
Those arguing that a male is really a female simply because he thinks he is a female and therefore should be allowed to use the women's bathroom are part of the problem, not the solution, and further enabling the commission sexual crimes.
Those arguing that a foreigner has the right to trespass the borders of another country because they are mistreated and under-privileged in their own country are part of the problem, not the solution.
Those arguing that more laws are needed to redefine terminology & change prior laws that have not been enforced, but which should have been enforced, are part of the problem, not the solution.
Those arguing that they have an inherent right to freedom and protection without taking responsibility for the consequences of their own actions are part of the problem, not the solution.
Those seeking to collect damages far in excess of the damages actually incurred or who claim special rights/considerations based upon their demographics are part of the problem, not the solution.
Those arguing that unconditional love should supercede prudent & just compassion are part of the problem, not the solution. We are not Jesus Christ who is God. It is not within our power to offer unconditional love, nor should it be. Unconditional love is only within the power of Christ. We might pray within our own privacy and without arrogant display for His unconditional love to be bestowed upon others. But then again we better pray first for those who have been the most obedient to His word & who have suffered the greatest injustice, not for those who have violated His word. And certainly we should not pray for those who have mocked His Holy Spirit, as that is totally unforgivable. That may sound trivial, but it gives credibility to the belief that injustice must not go unjustly unpunished.
Yes life is unfair, and we better pay the closest attention to those who have actually suffered the greatest because of that fact, the first being Jesus Christ Himself, the second being John The Baptist, the third being Paul, and the fourth being the Disciple John, all followed by those within our own immediate community. Let the rest of the world take care of itself without sticking our nose where it does not belong. But let us also learn and take heed from what transpires in the rest of the world.

JUST BECAUSE YOU "THINK" IT DOES NOT MAKE IT TRUE.
This country is being dictated to by confused, self-conflicting & imprudent emotion & impropriety, not by logic. We are being led by a so-called president who demonstrates no practicality, understanding, consistency, rationality, reasoning, common sense, or other qualities normally attributed to a president, let alone an intelligent human being. When one begins to proclaim that a male is a female (or vise versa) SIMPLY BECAUSE THAT PERSON "THINKS" HIMSELF/HERSELF TO BE OF THE OPPOSITE GENDER, THEN THERE IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM, NOT WITH THE PERSON WHO THINKS THEY ARE OF THE OPPOSITE SEX, BUT WITH THE PERSON MAKING THAT PROCLAMATION. WHY? BECAUSE NOW YOU GIVE CREDIBILITY TO ALL LINES OF THOUGHT NO MATTER HOW DEMENTED , INCLUDING THOSE JUSTIFICATIONS FOR UNWARRANTED MURDER. IN OTHER WORDS, IF A MURDERER "THINKS" WHAT HE DID WAS RIGHT, THEN HE MUST BE RIGHT BECAUSE HE "THINKS" HE IS RIGHT. This is a totally fallacious line of argument that will lead to the downfall of this country. How?
Islam presents itself as a legitimate "religion" deserving of protection under US law. But is it really a "religion"? It's originator was an illiterate man in the 7th century (well after the establishment of Christianity) who simply dreamed it up, who was not crucified and who was not martyred. It is clear that it is a complete rejection of Christianity, so the source of bigotry and hatred originates with the muslims. It is also clear that the muslim ideology is exactly that, ie, a secular mind set that is Christiphobic & combines church and state, ultimately seeking the destruction of all opposed to it, including homosexuality & women's rights. IT IS NOT A RACE OR AN ETHNICITY. That it should be considered a "religion" of voluntary faith is an affront to the eyes that have beheld its many atrocities. It should be noted that Malcolm X discovered this the hard way.
AS MORE AND MORE CREDIBILITY IS GIVEN TO THE MUSLIM IDEOLOGY, THE MORE THIS COUNTRY WILL YIELD TO ITS DOGMA & BECOME ENSNARED IN ITS MISSION. THE END RESULT FROM THIS NONSENSE WILL BE THIS COUNTRY FALLING TO SHARIA LAW, AS THERE WILL BE NO VIABLE ARGUMENT TO COUNTER ISLAM'S CLAIMS OF BEING A LEGITIMATE RELIGION SIMPLY BECAUSE IT "THINKS" OF ITSELF AS A RELIGION & PROCLAIMS ITSELF TO BE SO.
Islam should be recognized for what it really is, ie, a SECULAR IDEOLOGY THAT IS COMPLETELY INCOMPATIBLE WITH WESTERN CULTURE.

It is also clear that the muslim ideology is exactly that, ie, a secular mind set that is Christiphobic & combines church and state, ultimately seeking the destruction of all opposed to it, including homosexuality & women's rights. IT IS NOT A RACE OR AN ETHNICITY. That it should be considered a "religion" of voluntary faith is an affront to the eyes that have beheld its many atrocities. It should be noted that Malcolm X discovered this the hard way.
AS MORE AND MORE CREDIBILITY IS GIVEN TO THE MUSLIM IDEOLOGY, THE MORE THIS COUNTRY WILL YIELD TO ITS DOGMA & BECOME ENSNARED IN ITS MISSION. THE END RESULT FROM THIS NONSENSE WILL BE THIS COUNTRY FALLING TO SHARIA LAW, AS THERE WILL BE NO VIABLE ARGUMENT TO COUNTER ISLAM'S CLAIMS OF BEING A LEGITIMATE RELIGION SIMPLY BECAUSE IT "THINKS" OF ITSELF AS A RELIGION & PROCLAIMS ITSELF TO BE SO.
Islam should be recognized for what it really is, ie, a SECULAR IDEOLOGY THAT IS COMPLETELY INCOMPATIBLE WITH WESTERN CULTURE.

Has Obama made ONE BIG MISTAKE thinking he can threaten people by cutting off their funding of government IOUs? New digital currencies (like the BitCoin) may make him the biggest laughing stock of the world in the long run. I certainly hope so, BECAUSE OBAMA IS REALLY ONE BIG PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A PRESIDENT. All hail the KING OF THE LATRINE.

How much are we going to prostitute our country for the sake of money which is nothing but an IOU? How much are we willing to sacrifice our children to immorality for the sake of money? Why don't you just take your daughters and put them to work on the streets if you need money that much?
I cannot believe the ABSOLUTE STUPIDITY of those who say that one's gender is determined by what they feel. So I am a male, and I want to ogle girls in the bathroom. Or I want to use the female lounge. All I need to do is dress up like a girl to use the bathroom. But maybe I am a sexual predator which gives me even greater access to commit my evil work. Or maybe, I really do need to use the girls bathroom since I like dressing like a girl. Standing up, I can just pee all over the toilet seat.
THIS IS THE BIGGEST BUNCH OF CRAP AND STUPIDITY EVER CONCEIVED. IT SHOULD BE OBVIOUS THAT THOSE HAVING FEMALE GENITALIA (EITHER BORN NATURAL OR BY OPERATION) ARE REQUIRED TO USE THE GIRLS BATHROOM AND VISA VERSA. FURTHERMORE, FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO REQUIRE TAX PAYERS TO PAY FOR SEX CHANGE OPS IS NOTHING MORE THAN EXTORTED ALLEGED CHARITY THAT IS ABSOLUTE NONSENSE.
GO SCREW YOUR SELF OBAMA.

Paul Ryan says "We can't pretend that the party is unified".
And we can't pretend to be a "democratic republic" any more for as long as the Court overturns the will of the people, the states, and Congress. We also can't pretend to love our country while prostituting it away to foreign cultures. Preventing hostiles and free loaders from entering the country is NOT ISOLATIONISM OR UNCOMPASSIONATE. It is PRUDENT COMPASSION THAT PROTECTS THE DOMESTIC TRANQUILITY WHICH IS WHAT THE GOVERNMENT IS SUPPOSE TO DO.

The RIGHT OF REFUSAL to participate is as basic a human right as any. The early Christians had a perfect right not to hail Caesar as he passed by their doorsteps. Mitt Romney, GWB, Lindsy Graham, et al, have a perfect right not to attend the Republican convention. Individuals have a perfect right to boycott a business. Homosexuals have a perfect right to boycott restaurants that have a perfect right not to serve them. Women have a perfect right to keep men out of their bathrooms, and vise versa. Churches have a perfect right not to marry homosexuals. THERE IS NEVER ANY REAL DAMAGE DONE THAT CAN BE LEGITIMATELY ATTRIBUTED TO A PERSON'S REFUSAL TO PARTICIPATE, EXCEPT IT BE TO FEED AND PROTECT A MINOR CHILD FOR WHICH ONE IS RESPONSIBLE.
Yet the idiot liberals in this country would seek to impose a dictatorship (via continuous law suits, law making and rancorous demonstrations) on those who refuse to participate in their agendas. That is completely contrary to the right of responsible freedom. And when the DOJ begins advancing ideas that have no real basis in justice, we are well on our way to a phony democratic tyranny.

This death marked a change (for the worse) in a political environment that continues to put such children at risk by virtue of its pathetic sympathy for well proven murderers. Given the lack of any intestinal fortitude on the part of our so-called justice system to invoke capital punishment in the cases of well proven murderers, it is not surprising to see mass murder being committed on a daily basis and children being molested/victimized. Those who are/were suppose to be this country's role models have made a perfect example of literally how to get away with murder. There is no such thing as "justice for all". That is why it's called a "criminal justice system". Just forget justice for the victims and their families. Crocodile tears do not count.

He should know. He and GWB ignored the citizen voters for long enough. At least it appears the wax is now out of his ears. And when it comes to Trump's remarks about McCain, he did not minimize McCain's suffering when he was a pow. Trump obviously has in his head those kind of "heroes" like Audie Murphy who were not pows and successfully risk their lives for freedom's sake. Just because Trump has a high standard of comparison does not mean he diminishes the efforts and pain of others.

UNITED WITH WHO & WITH WHAT ????
"UNITY" for unity's sake is contrary to history & common sense, as is diversity for diversity's sake. Should we always sing Kumbaya with a bunch of murderers, because we are soooo compassionate & "That is who we are"?
In a similar manner, being "first" for the sake of being first is utter nonsense. Will there ever be a lesbian muslim woman ( if there is such a thing) for President of the USA? But we know there is no such thing, because muslims would behead any lesbians and Christian illegals, NOT TO MENTION THE INHERENT MISOGYNY. And please don't tell me there are "neo-muslims" who can walk the line between one faith and the other. "No person can serve two masters, for he will love one and hate the other, or vise versa". Do you not suppose the muslim ideology already knows that and will do everything it can beyond human decency (including banning the Bible) to assure it's control and evil power?
No matter, I can hardly wait for Sharia Law to become the law of the land, after which we can laugh at all of those hypocrites who claimed to be for womens rights (or for homosexual rights, or foreigner rights, or for religious rights, or for whatever alleged rights they claim) and yet deliberately let that ancient phony ideology run rampant in this country. Islam has had over 1000 years to make peace, but jihad is at its very core and will never vanish. It is only "peaceful" in proportion to the number of muslims it has ensnared, which now totals 1.6 billion people. Just like the far lying left, It is not content to live and let live, demanding the strictest allegiance to its dogma. It stands in stark contrast to current day Christianity which acknowledges that acceptance through free will as the only legitimate way of serving God and accepts separation of church and state. "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's. Render unto God that which is God's."
We live in a "democracy" - NOT. It has been overturned by a handful of politically motivated judges exercising alleged (but unconstitutional) powers of judicial review & who claim to know better than the majority. And what they have wrought is the biggest hodgepodge of conflicting values ever conceived that is doomed for continuous major explosions, given that they consider Islam to be a religion of good faith. But apparently for the time being they do know better, because so many are buying their stinkin' garbage. It will not be until the genie is out of the bottle & the experiment ultimately & miserably fails that people will wake up, albeit too late.
So if you are Hillary Clinton or a RINO, HOW DO YOU SOLICIT FOR WOMENS RIGHTS OR HOMOSEXUAL RIGHTS AND AT THE SAME TIME SOLICIT FOR MUSLIM SUPPORT? THE TWO ARE COMPLETELY INCONSISTENT. Either she is so arrogant & thinks she is smart enough to maneuver around such a conflict and will risk the domestic tranquility of the country trying to prove it or she is absolutely ignorant. In either case, IT IS A BIG BIG RISK. Where there may be some short term encouragements in "modernizing" the muslim ideology, history has shown time and time again that THE ODDS ARE AGAINST IT.
But according to Hillary, "Islam is a great religion".
Others see it as a "race".

This praise music would be condemned in an Islamic state, because Islam persecutes the belief that Jesus Christ is God. Unlike Islam, Christians recognize that responsible free will is essential to the legitimate service of God, not some phony forced indoctrination.

We went to the rally tonight. There were thousands and thousands of Trump supporters. After waiting in a slowly advancing line for an hour, we were unable to get in, because there were so many people. Thousands were turned away.
And then there were the stupid ass demonstrators waiving the Mexican flag. Were it not for the police protection they were receiving, I'ld take that damned flag and rip it up.

This is what is happening on a larger scale when governments refuse to secure their borders.
There are good reasons for preventing people to come and go where ever and when ever they want.
Yet slime ball politicians continue to allow illegal migrants and Syrian refugees to come and go at will.
"How does it feel to seek justice after 27 years due to government negligence, or after 45 years due to a wanton murder not adequately prosecuted or punished?". LIKE CRAP!

ISLAM IS A CHRISTIPHOBIC "IDEOLOGY", NOT A RELIGION OR AN ETHNICITY.
IT VIOLATES SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE.
THERE IS NO FURTHER FAR RIGHT WING AND TYRANNY THAN ISLAM AND/OR NAZISM.
THERE IS NO GREATER MISOGYNY THAN ISLAM.
THERE IS NO GREATER INJUSTICE THAN ISLAM.
AT THE VERY LEAST, WE SHOULD EXPLICITLY BAN SHARIA LAW.
AT THE VERY LEAST WE SHOULD SECURE OUR BORDERS AND STOP PRETENDING TO THE WORLD TO BE WHAT WE ARE NOT, IE, GOD. AT THE VERY LEAST, WE SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO OUR OWN NATIONAL DOMESTIC FLAWS OF ARROGANCE AND PRIDE. AT THE VERY LEAST, WE SHOULD NOT REWARD BAD BEHAVIOR OR MAKE EXCUSES FOR IT.
THIS ISSUE IS EVEN MORE PRONOUNCED IN MY THINKING AT THIS TIME SINCE THE MARINE WHOSE DAUGHTER (IN LA PLATA, MD SCHOOL ) REC'D A FAILING GRADE IN HISTORY BECAUSE SHE REFUSED TO TAKE THE ISLAM STUDY COURSE ....INCIDENTALLY NO ALTERNATIVE COURSE WAS OFFERED. HER MARINE FATHER BROUGHT THIS TO THE FOREFRONT ...SINCE HE FOUGHT IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN , AND IS VERY AWARE OF HOW DANGEROUS THIS RELIGION IS...DEFINITELY NOT ONE OF PEACE.
When we get 100,000,000, that's one hundred million willing Christians to BOND together, voice their concerns and vote, we can take back America with God's help. Become one of the One hundred million... Then let's get 200 million. It can be done just by sending this email to your friends. Do the math. It only takes a single willing heart and a fed up SOUL. God Bless America and Shine your light on Her!
Now President Obama is encouraging schools to teach the Quran for extra credit, while at the same time, they cannot even talk about the Bible, God, pray, or salute the American Flag.
The direction this country is headed should strike fear in the heart of every Christian, especially knowing that the Muslim religion believes that if Christians cannot be converted, they should be annihilated.

"Humanity" is like one big human body that can become infected with bad stuff. "Christianity" is the heart, and like the heart, provides nutrients for the good stuff and the bad stuff alike. But the minute the heart starts taking over all of the immune defenses, the body dies. On the other hand, a rampaging immune system can kill the body too. It is up to the regulatory system to balance both.
So it is with humanity. Not every living microbe deserves to be living. Not every living person deserves to be living. A faulty regulatory system that gives too much or corrects too little is ultimately to blame for the imbalances it creates.

It is a legitimate argument to say that just because one person is bad does not mean the whole group is bad. On the other hand, there is the argument that one bad apple spoils the whole lot.
There may be those who consider themselves part of a group in which some individuals behave badly, yet wish to identify themselves as being different from those in the group doing the bad stuff. And so it is with those holding to the Islamic mind set. Perhaps they should identify themselves as neo-Islamists as opposed to fundamentalists. One might think that gives the impression that they are somehow better than their worse half. This appears to be what the neo-Nazis tried to do.
The fact is, whether you are a neo-Nazi or a neo-Islamic, they both taut and worship highly questionable if not absolutely vile characters, ie, Hitler and Mohammed, and would have Jesus Christ subservient to both. No one is born a Nazi. AND NO ONE IS BORN A MUSLIM. IT IS MORE WHAT YOU CHOSE (BY YOUR OWN FREE WILL) TO BELIEVE. And if it was forced upon you, then you need to be deprogrammed.

Ever since the Fox News debates in which Megyn Kelly brought up the issue of "MISOGYNY" , there is a very obvious hypocrisy in the arguments of those opposed to Trump. THE VERY WORST EXERCISE OF ON-GOING MISOGYNY IN THE WORLD IS THAT DONE BY THE MUSLIM IDEOLOGY. "Honor" killing has been done in this country by those holding to this vile mind set. Yet these stupid, inconsistent liberals would continue to support the idea of allowing muslims to enter this country.
There was an old joke about American Indians calling Obama by the name "WALKING EAGLE". That same name should apply to these liberals as well, because they are so full of crap they can't fly.

IN THE HEART OF THE SEA is one of the finest movies I have ever seen. It ranks right up there with Dr Zhivago. The story behind Herman Melville's MOBY DICK is so beautifully portrayed with a historical background, a concern for humanity and a plot that keeps you intrigued right up to the very end. It makes me wonder how we can waste all of our time glamorizing and awarding the absolutely stupid movies that Hollywood produces, while we completely turn our backs on worthwhile stories and true artistry.

I was shocked to learn that 2011 was one of the biggest Sierra snowpacks in history. AND HERE WE ARE IN CALIFORNIA 4 YEARS LATER EXPERIENCING ONE OF THE WORST DROUGHTS EVER? To me as a native that says just one thing. Our population has grown beyond the resources available. And you know where that increase is coming from when the number of latinos now exceeds the number of us "bigoted" white folk. And I dare you to surf your radio channels to find an English speaking station or drive down a road that is not in constant need of repair, let alone get to where you are going without being bottled up in traffic.
But then illegals have a right to go anywhere, any time, regardless of laws and borders. After all, they are just human beings. So let's not be hypocritical about all this and let them walk into the White House any time they choose. Oh, "BUT THAT'S A DIFFERENT STORY" you say?
So this make me a "bigot"? Hardly. I JUST WANT OTHER PEOPLE TO OBEY THE SAME LAWS I HAVE TO OBEY WITHOUT ANY SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS. AND I WANT THE HYPOCRITES OUT OF MY FACE.

When I am dead, it will matter not what I believe, but only what I did or did not do. Did I intentionally hurt any innocent person? Did I impose upon anyone? Did I diminish the just causes and/or work of those before me who righteously fought and suffered to implement? Did I deliberately change the perception of their character or erase them from my memory to suit my own purposes? Did I undo what was correctly put in place by them? Did I lie? Did I cheat? Did I slander? Did I distort the truth? Did I behave foolishly without common sense or without practicality? These are the things that matter in life, not my conjecturing, although my theorizing may lead to better understanding & discovery of new truths. Without diminishing the meaning of being civilized, acknowledging the truth in fact as it happened is the difference between a world of reality and a world of fantasy, hypocrisy and lies.

It is easy to see how monotheism may be considered to be the correction of polytheism and mythology. Older Jewish religion, Islam, and Christian Unitarianism are all monotheistic in that their distance from God cannot discern the Christian Trinity of God which requires a greater closeness to God in the same way that one cannot see the components of atomic structure without a closer scrutiny. In other words, the greater the distance you are from something, the more it appears to be "ONE", numero uno, "1", which in turn means you include evil as being part of God. Obviously, if God is good, there can be no evil in Him. So if there were no humanity, there would be no evil. Only humans who God has given free will can commit evil acts. And natural disasters are not "acts of God" . As the saying goes, "STUFF JUST HAPPENS".

Islam, with its Sharia Law, is an ideology born out of terror and fear that claims to be a "religion" of peace, which it is not as clearly evidenced by its outright rejection of Jesus Christ and a repeated history of violence. It is as vile as Nazism and should be treated as such. It is not a question of if it will ever become necessary for you to fight it. It is only a question of when and on whose ground you will choose to fight it or succumb to it with a Stockholm Syndrome surrender.

Plural voting is distinguished from a majority voting system, in which, to win, a candidate must receive an absolute majority of votes — i.e., more votes than all other candidates combined.
But what the rules regarding plurality voting are within a political party and their disclosure ( transparency) is another matter that can lead to undemocratic practices. In addition, the abstention from voting at all is a CLEAR INDICATION OF THE DISSATISFACTION WITH THE CHOICES OFFERED. If 60% is considered a "good" voter turn out, then that means 40% of the populace is dissatisfied and fed up with the entire system.
So when we claim to be a "DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC", one might reasonably suspect that to be an outright lie, especially when the courts (comprised of a few individuals) overturn measures legally voted upon and passed by the citizenry.

From a physical standpoint, eternity is the complete absence of any forces, because Time is inversely proportional to Force. But both science and Christianity agree there will be an ultimate end to the current state. So the question becomes, what is an eternal life like without any forces, without a beginning and without and end?
It may be hard to imagine, but just because we cannot see it does not mean it is not true. Science knows there is much we cannot see that is true, ie, dark matter/energy, etc. And so we must tune ourselves to discover truth.
It is better to keep an open mind than to close it to any positive possibilities. That is the essence of hope. But that does not mean swallowing deceitfulness or not testing and correcting misconceptions, because that is the essence of prudence. Hope is timeless and prudence is time-based. Both are virtues, but prudence places limits on hope, and, in so doing, shapes the sense of our own reality. Too much prudence can keep us from discovering new truths. And too little prudence can lead us into living a lie. The trick is too find the optimum amount of prudence.

Following Sweden's lead, France has passed an anti-prostitution law that penalizes the buyer not the seller. In Sweden it has proven effective in reducing child and human trafficking. So if you take away the market, the crime goes away. Now we need to do the same with respect to drugs & illegal migration.
But in addition to all of this, the crimes of well proven violent rape & child molestation needs to be punished by castration. Of course this should not be allowed if hyper sensitivity in involved. But at least then you would not have to waste your time registering and tracking all of those sex offenders, thereby relieving their would-be victims from having to walk on pins and needles all of the time. And it might even solve the need to eliminate abortion for unwanted pregnancies.
And of course, we never want to be so inhumane as to actually put to death a well proven violent murderer. "They have their rights" don't you know. At least that is what Amnesty International says. BULL SHIT!!!
Just like the conflict between national security and individual privacy, we never seem to be able to resolve our own internal mental messes. There is always some irrational liberal who says "I want my cake and eat it too". There is always resistance to the fasting that is essential to a healthy society.

A well written article addressing the issues of increased minimum wage vs. free trade.
My answer: Equilibrium within countries must be maintained on a country by country basis and within the confines of each country as defined its own citizens without interference from other countries. Until nations resume enforcement of their borders and start protecting their own citizens without all of this alleged human rights garbage, there will continue to be exploitation of the lax rules and suffering imposed upon the citizens of each country. Where this may lead to international conflicts, there must never be one single universal government which has absolute authority over all, because such a global state would be a tyranny destructive of diversity and democracy. Therefore, "Free Trade" must be "FAIR & SENSIBLE TRADE" that does not impose upon the citizens of either country and protects the national identities of each by pertaining only to the flow of goods, and not the unregulated free flow of people.
With respect to minimum wage, each country should control its own wage laws within the context of the value of its own currency and within the context of what its citizens agree upon to be fair and reasonable compensation. As it currently stands within the US, minimum wage is the only way to offset the greediness of wealthy CEO's whose national disloyalty borders on treason. But on the other hand, WERE THE LAWS REGARDING ILLEGAL MIGRATION ACTUALLY ENFORCED BY THE PAST 3 PRESIDENTS, THERE MAY VERY WELL BE NO NEED FOR MINIMUM WAGE INCREASES, BECAUSE YOU WOULD NOT HAVE THE INCREASED POPULATION DEMANDING WAGE INCREASES.

THIS IS THE MOST CONVOLUTED LINE OF REASONING EVER CONCOCTED.
It is based upon the ridiculous notion that GDP (Gross Domestic Product), which is suppose to be a measure of "productivity", is instead based upon spending. And so, it is argued that having more people in your economic system is a benefit because it means more spending. WHAT A BUNCH OF CRAP. It may have been true for an agrarian society 150 years ago, but not today.
Based upon this so-called logic, the more people we have in the world, the more prosperous we will be. Forget the consumption of limited resources. Forget the conditions in countries already over populated. So let's just multiply like a bunch of rabbits until we are choked to death by our own excrement.

They say for police departments to "profile" is wrong. But the very height of profiling is that done by the media in their daily so-called analysis of voting patterns exhibited by demographics. In so doing, they cast the die for profiling, all resulting in suspicions and divisiveness. Voting is suppose to be done in secret to avoid repercussions. But these idiots break that sensible protection on a macro scale, making police department profiling look like child's play..

The bottom line is that wrongful behavior is being encouraged by EXTREME apologetic behavior. Democratic republic principles are being violated by the Court. Separation of Church and State is being violated by allowing muslims to take advantage of erroneous concepts of religious freedom, while at the same time telling peaceful religions they must serve those engaged in foul practices offensive to their faith. Domestic peace and tranquility has been thrown off balance by presidents who refuse to do their job in protecting the borders. And all the while, the disparity between wealthy wage earners and poor wage earners is allowed to widen, as multi-nationals expand their profit motives.
The tactics and instruments of the powers of darkness have always been to take advantage of those who love peace. After all, peace lovers are easier to label, slander, attack & destroy than those who confront evil. Its time to take the road less traveled and follow the words of Dietrich Bonhoeffer & C S Lewis.

INTERESTING STATISTIC - "About 70 percent of the population of Saudi Arabia is under 30, and 40 percent is unemployed". What does this say about the future (or demise) of Sharia Law? Has the youth all been brainwashed with this ideology? A recent FRONTLINE report suggests "no".
Interesting facts about Saudi Arabia.
The House of Saud has gone through three phases: the First Saudi State (1744–1818), marked by the expansion of Wahhabism, the Emirate of Nejd, the Second Saudi State (1824-1891), marked with continuous infighting, which wields considerable influence in the Middle East. The family has had conflicts with the Ottoman Empire, the Sharif of Mecca, the Al Rashid family of Ha'il, and numerous Islamist groups both inside and outside Saudi Arabia.
Wahhabism is a religious movement or branch of Sunni Islam.[3][4][5][6] It has been variously described as "ultraconservative",[7] "austere",[3] "fundamentalist",[8] "puritanical"[9] (or "puritan")[10] and as an Islamic "reform movement" to restore "pure monotheistic worship" (tawhid) by scholars and advocates,[11] and as an "extremist pseudo-Sunni movement" by opponents.[12] Adherents often object to the term Wahhabi or Wahhabism as derogatory, and prefer to be called Salafi or muwahhid.[13][14][15]
Wahhabism is named after an eighteenth-century preacher and scholar, Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab (1703–1792).[16] He started a revivalist movement in the remote, sparsely populated region of Najd,[17] advocating a purging of practices such as the popular "cult of saints", and shrine and tomb visitation, widespread among Muslims, but which he considered idolatry (shirk), impurities and innovations in Islam (Bid'ah).[5][18] Eventually he formed a pact with a local leader Muhammad bin Saud offering political obedience and promising that protection and propagation of the Wahhabi movement would mean "power and glory" and rule of "lands and men."[19] The movement is centred on the principle of Tawhid,[20] or the "uniqueness" and "unity" of God.[18] The movement also draws from the teachings of medieval theologian Ibn Taymiyyah and early jurist Ahmad ibn Hanbal.[21]

BAD THINGS HAPPENING TO GOOD PEOPLE AND VISA VERSA
Should catastrophic natural causes be attributed to evil intent? In the past, earthquakes, storms, volcanic eruptions, astroid strikes, etc were all labeled "Acts of God". In other words, these things were all the result of some deliberate ill will. But that line of thought does not reconcile with the belief in a loving God & can put humanity at odds with God. Today, there is greater belief in the phrase "STUFF HAPPENS" which let's God off the hook with respect to natural calamities. So the most rational answer to the question is "No, catastrophic natural causes should not be attributed to evil intent".
But what about the rewards for bad behavior, ie, evil intent?
If God is good, then "evil intent" can only be attributed to other living things, and more specifically, the human being. One must ask, "if there were no human beings, would there be any evil?". That wrongful behavior is rewarded is the responsibility of man, not God. God may be the creator of the car. But once the car is turned loose on the road, He is no longer responsible. And He may hold in reserve His final judgment and who He chooses to reward or punish as indicated in Mathew Chapter 20.
This does not mean that we should not strive to apply fairness, justice, rationality, logic and practicality with respect to moral issues within our present time frame. Fairness means simply treating others as you would be & being compensated for any material loss belonging to you as the result of the actions of others. It does not mean equality in all things as many today believe.
If God is good all the time, then He must be just, fair, rational, logical, practical and objective to the extent that His character is recognized & respected as God, which in turn means encouraging His children & followers to do likewise, even if He is absent & visiting in another set of dimensions. It does not mean imposing an unjust, cruel, and brutal Sharia Law upon His children.

GOOD NEWS. Some muslims are converting to Christianity. That does not mean they have a right to tread into any body's property/nation where they are not invited. It does mean they probably cannot return to their bigoted country whose Sharia law (if you can called that "law") rejects & hates Jesus Christ Who is God. But it certainly helps to remove the suspicion of hostility. And it certainly removes any allegations of muslims "BEING BORN THAT WAY & NOT ABLE TO HELP IT" as the liberal mindlessness would have us believe. After all, Islam, as any religion, is a "CHOICE", and not something that cannot be changed.
BTW, where is that change that Mr Obama was talking about? Was it really change, or simply DEGENERATION back to some old 'Great Religion" as enslaving and unjust as Satan himself?

The center has moved so far to the left that they don't even recognize that ISIS IS THE EXTREME RIGHT. Hitler salutes are often given as a mockery to dictatorial governments. Where is the Nazi Flag or the Right Sector Flag if these are Nazi's? Where are the molotov cocktails? Are they attacking the victim's families. Where are the smashed glass windows, looted stores and burning buildings? Where is the violence and injured by standers? Were this Ferguson, this demonstration would have all been approved.
THE GOVERNMENTS ARE ABSOLUTELY SICK AND RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE CULTURAL CLASHES. They say stand in solidarity, but "solidarity" to what... to continue allowing murderers to enter your country and kill your children? These demonstrators have had enough of the nonsense that has been allowed to go on. They know their government is not protecting them. It is exposing them with it's "love everybody" stupidity and alleged "human rights" that transcend into the realm of ridiculous.
The real enemy is any ideology that is voluntarily accepted (be it called religion or not) that encourages the violent take over of the world, such as Islam, such as Nazidom, such as Black Power, such as White Power, and including any nation that goes beyond its own borders to infiltrate and impose its own culture upon other nations. But if there is a struggle within a nation on the part of citizens to preserve their own own original culture, then that effort should not be suppressed by their own government or by any media that seeks to exaggerate the truth via biased comments and labeling.
It is unjust to label another person unless they come out and identify themselves as such. Like any other human (including homosexuals) , they cannot be slanderously called Nazis (or homosexuals) until they come out and say they are Nazis (or homosexual). It is their own arrogant pride that will identify them.

"Some gang members are bad, but not all gang members are bad. So you should not profile gangs, because if you do, then you are a hate mongering bigot." This is what the liberal mentality amounts to. And it further fails to acknowledge that such gangs actually choose to be identified and profiled, giving themselves unique names like the "Crips". The liberal mind set is nonsense that fails to take into account the voluntary nature of being a gang member, or being a muslim, or a LA RAZA supporter, bearing no resemblance to blacks who had no choice but to be black. Being a muslim or being a LA RAZA member is NO DIFFERENT THAN BEING A GANG MEMBER, ie, it is a choice. But if you are white, Christian and male, well then by God you must be a bigoted hate mongering racist and if you have black friends, well they must be nothing by Uncle Toms.

They say that "Patience is a virtue", something that LIBERALS are CLEARLY LACKING. Time and time again they demonstrate their rushes to judgment and selfish desires to have things always go their way. The passage of Obamacare, the slander and name calling, the ridiculous harmful demonstrations, the suing in court for the least little thing, the reluctance to wait for a new judge to be replaced at an appropriate time, the demand that Congress is not doing its job if it does not immediately pass any or all of the issues brought before it, the demand to allow possible ebola infected people into the country, the demand to shut down GITMO & bring violent muslims into the country, the demand to allow millions of foreigners to come into the country illegally, the demand to not execute any well proven mass murderers, and many more. All of this is indicative of a selfish oriented mentality that if its demands are not met immediately, then it will throw a temper tantrum. Meanwhile the victims of violent crimes have to put up with their childish behavior and the lack of real justice that would allow victims to escape the black hole of the violence and injustice that continuously engulfs their lives and their families on a daily basis. Liberals may claim to be righteous and caring people, but they are far, if anything, from that. It is always about them and how smart and righteous they believe themselves to be.
Liberals are not just to be found in the Democratic party, ie, they are also in the Republican party. The word "liberal" simply means "UNRESTRAINED and EXCESSIVE FREEDOM". It does not just apply to those claiming to be anti alleged social injustices, ie, human/animal right activists. It also applies to those: 1] who drive big gas guzzling cars, engage in extreme promiscuous behavior; show extreme disregard for the environment and/or cleanliness and its impact upon others, and/or violate fair play; 2] governors who commute the sentences of well proven murderers, 3] judges who impose their own predispositions in reading the Constitution; 4] politicians who accept bribes, 5] news agencies who exaggerate untruths, 6] law agencies that put justice second to law and order, .7] etc.
Until liberals can learn to have patience, control their selfish motivations, and show a little more respect for others, it is time to put the brakes on them.

CRONY CAPITALISM = MERCANTILISM
Hey everyone, this is a critical time in America. The forces of mercantilism (using the definition of Adam Smith in The Wealth of Nations, 1776) are uniting against the people of the now Untied States. Let me try to simplify this if I can.
Mercantilism was the dominant political/economic system of England (and other European Nations) at the time of our Revolution which is when the Wealth of Nations was published. Smith's thesis was that businesses in general and big business in particular prefer government intervention in the marketplace when it favors them. This is called picking winners and losers. The Colonies rebelled against being forced to do business and trade with companies that had purchased monopolies through the power of the Crown. For example, John Hancock and others like him were forced out of the legitimate marketplace and were compelled to trade outside the "British rule of Law." Which contributed to the big why, why he and others gladly funded the American Revolution.
Back to the present day. Taking off during the administrations of Clinton and Bush, and continuing during Barrack Obama's tenure, big businesses - touting a theme "to big to fail," have used the federal government as their private insurance company. Thus, the TARP bailouts which both big government Republicans and Democrats used to (herein referred to as The Establishment) ensure their survival at the expense of the small businesses who could not afford the high cost of buying their way into The Establishment. You paid for that. This is a current day form of Mercantilism, which is often referred to as "crony-capitalism." Who suffers most? Small businesses and the middle class.
For instance, small businesses were put at a huge disadvantage because the could not afford the high cost of fighting the forces of the federal government, the price for dealing with the IRS, EPA, and other federal regulators. So, for example, small banks and lenders were hit hard through new regulations like Dodd-Frank, which made it doubly difficult for people to get housing loans; hurting developers nationwide. Ask any banker or developer how difficult it is to get a mortgage approved even in a good market. Another example is the impact of Obama care, and the high cost of providing health care for employees; surely that requires not explanation.
Most of all these insider deals, especially those made by big banks, are systematically bankrupting the middle class. If you understand the power of healthy interest rates on savings and wealth accumulation, the average person can double their wealth and beat the cost of inflation in the process in about 7 to 10 years. However, with the Fed's keeping interest rates artificially low, the opposite effect is taking place. No one can afford to put money into traditional savings and investments and beat the cost of inflation; and it gets worse! The Fed is giving big banks what amounts to free money - that's correct, free money at almost zero or super-low interest rates. How does that affect you?
What interest rates are you paying right now for your credit cards, or business and loans? What is happening, is the reverse effect of healthy interest rates on savings and investments where you can grow your wealth and save for the future. Banks are literally getting free money from the government through the manipulations of interest rates by the Fed and then charge us for everything we purchase on credit. In the process every 7 to 10 years, a vast amount of the wealth of the middle class is being transferred to the Establishment banks and those who control them; they get healthy while systematically shrinking the wealth of the middle class. It is diabolical.
Sounds a lot like what our founding fathers were fighting against back in 1776. Those with the connections are licensed to make a profit off of those who do not have the resources to fight the system - or afford to operate outside the system. It gets worse.
Both the Democrats and the Republican are now working together to control the electoral process in America; that's right. The progressive left and the establishment right co-operatively will destroy anyone and anything that threatens their control of our economy. You will have to figure out who is in bed with who, but I can give you some clues. Mitt Romney is not working on your behalf, he is a Wall Street insider who is invested in the status quo. He like so many other Establishment Republicans would rather have an in-the-pocket Democrat like Hillary Clinton for president that either one of the outsiders Cruz or Trump. They win, you lose.
Why am I so adamantly supporting Donald Trump. Isn't he the quintessential insider? I am supporting Trump because he knows how the system works and is self-funding the fight against the Establishment; he terrifies them. He also checks off so many of my boxed concerns, which you can read about in his new book Crippled America, it will give you a better understanding of where he is coming from. It is an easy read. Then, do yourself a favor. Go to the Federal Election Commission's website and find out who is donating the big bucks to whom; google it and you will discover who Wall Street investment firms, bankers, and law firms are supporting. You will be surprised to discover who big banks on Wall Street like Goldman Sachs are supporting and have in their pocket!
These are my concerns for the day. I am currently doing research for a major work on this topic and working through the electoral process as well. Tomorrow morning I am attending the Douglas County Republican Party Assembly as an alternate delegate. At the County Assembly my goal is to be selected to both the Colorado State Assembly, where I have served as a delegate in three different election cycles, and to be selected as a delegate to the National Convention in Cleveland. It will cost us around $5000 dollars this year; I am not exaggerating this nor am I asking for your help. This high cost of involvement prevents ordinary citizens from getting appointments. Those who normally get selected - especially in this election cycle - are invested in the Establishment status quo or funded by them to do their bidding. I hope you are paying attention to the comments made by those who make the rules for the Convention; what we think and what we want are irrelevant to them. My research thus far reveals that the RNC is essentially wicked; just wait and see what else I have discovered! Again, these are more than simple conjecture. I have the gift of prophecy in economics because I have been a student of economic history for more than 50 years and have studied under world class, anti-Marxist, anti-mercantilist, capitalist, professional economists from Berekely to Claremont, and the fundamental lesson is this: What is going to be has already been or is in the process of becoming. That simplifies it. I do not have to be standing in ka-ka-de-toro to tell you when we are in deep shit. We can pray. We can voice our opinions, We can serve as delegates. We can vote. But we must not go down quietly!

Hey everyone, this is a critical time in America. The forces of mercantilism (using the definition of Adam Smith in The Wealth of Nations, 1776) are uniting against the people of the now Untied States. Let me try to simplify this if I can.
Mercantilism was the dominant political/economic system of England (and other European Nations) at the time of our Revolution which is when the Wealth of Nations was published. Smith's thesis was that businesses in general and big business in particular prefer government intervention in the marketplace when it favors them. This is called picking winners and losers. The Colonies rebelled against being forced to do business and trade with companies that had purchased monopolies through the power of the Crown. For example, John Hancock and others like him were forced out of the legitimate marketplace and were compelled to trade outside the "British rule of Law." Which contributed to the big why, why he and others gladly funded the American Revolution.
Back to the present day. Taking off during the administrations of Clinton and Bush, and continuing during Barrack Obama's tenure, big businesses - touting a theme "to big to fail," have used the federal government as their private insurance company. Thus, the TARP bailouts which both big government Republicans and Democrats used to (herein referred to as The Establishment) ensure their survival at the expense of the small businesses who could not afford the high cost of buying their way into The Establishment. You paid for that. This is a current day form of Mercantilism, which is often referred to as "crony-capitalism." Who suffers most? Small businesses and the middle class.

We hear a lot now days about international law. It is referred to as if it was the law of the world. BUT THE FACT IS, IN THE ABSENCE OF THE AGREEMENTS OF ALL NATIONS VIA TREATIES, THEN IT IS NOT THE UNIVERSAL LAW THAT THOSE SUPPORTING IT WOULD HAVE YOU BELIEVE. THE QUESTION REMAINS, EXACTLY WHOSE LAW IS IT AND VIA WHAT TREATIES THAT HAVE BEEN PRESUMABLY AGREED UPON BY THE MAJORITY OF THE CITIZENS IN THE PARTICIPATING COUNTRIES?
For example, it is said that those European nations rejecting Syrian refuges are in violation of "international law". Really? Did Syria have a treaty with those said European nations? Did those said European nations agree to become the refuge of anyone and everyone in their agreement with the European Union?. Or is somebody just BS-ing their alleged knowledge of international law and agreements?

The purpose of a democracy is to allow citizens to rule themselves. The intent of politics is to thwart that purpose and impose rule of the many by the few.

THE MEDIA, LIBERALS AND RINOS PERSIST WITH THEIR ABSOLUTELY SHAMEFUL AND OUTRAGEOUS DISTORTIONS OF THE TRUTH REGARDING DONALD TRUMP AND HIS COMMENT THAT HE THOUGHT THAT IF THERE IS A BROKERED CONVENTION, THEN IT COULD RESULT IN RIOTS. THAT IS NOT A "THREAT" AS TRUMP'S DETRACTORS WOULD HAVE US BELIEVE. IT IS MERELY A STATEMENT OF WHAT HE THOUGHT MIGHT HAPPEN. YET THESE PATHETIC LIARS CONTINUE TO DISTORT THE FACTS FOR THE PURPOSES OF POLITICAL PROPAGANDA. IF DONALD TRUMP'S STATEMENT IS VIEWED AS A THREAT, THEN LINDSEY GRAHAM RECENTLY PROMISED (NOT THREATENED) TO SHOOT TED CRUZ ON THE FLOOR OF THE SENATE. DO THEY REALLY THINK THAT THE AMERICAN PUBLIC IS THAT STUPID? WERE THE DISTORTION OF TRUMP'S STATEMENT TO BE MADE IN COURT, THEIR MAKERS WOULD BE GUILTY OF SLANDER AND PERJURY.

Did Jesus Christ admonish the Zealots? Simon (Peter) was a zealot. The closest thing to possible admonishment was this: "… for all who take the sword will perish by the sword (Matt. 26:52)”. Yet that statement in itself says nothing about self-defense and defense of ones family or even one's country. And where it is true that Jesus had Peter put down his sword, that was Jesus saying not to defend Him at the time, but says nothing about defending one's family. More insight can be gleaned from "As you sow, so shall you reap". So in other words, the perpetrators of violent acts can expect the same in return from those who love God.
Interestingly enough, the Bible ends with The Revelations Of John, probably as close to Jesus as Peter. And in that gospel, the people of Jesus Christ are told to give unto Babylon twice the poison given them, almost in the form of a commandment and not exactly the weak kneed ideology that would have people sacrifice their families and country to foreign non-believers in Jesus Christ.

NO ONE HAS CONTRIBUTED MORE TO THE CORROSIVE RHETORIC IN THIS COUNTRY THAN THE SUPPORTERS OF THIS HYPOCRITE AND THOSE HE ENDORSES.
And the 2nd runner-up to this contribution are the APOLOGETIC RINOS WITH THEIR MULTI-NATIONAL SUPPORTERS who would give this country away to foreigners, ignoring the citizens rights to have a country free from foreign cultural in-your-face demonstrators and terrorist ideologies.
But they all have great style and a big smile and receive support from billionaires like Geogre Soros and bask in the sun of celebrity as they conduct their treachery behind the scenes, ie, that of screwing and betraying the American citizen..

They are still hoping for a brokered Republican convention. HOW TERRIBLY PATHETIC THEY ARE. OH BOO HOO BOO HOO. Sounds almost like the 2000 Florida fight over the chad.

If you think you know why Putin does what he does WITHOUT ASKING him, despite what he gives as his reasons, then you must be a grand wizard capable of discerning the minds of anyone and everyone. And that is a major problem, especially when you wind up accusing people of this and that, not knowing their true motivations. Of course, given enough evidence, you might reasonably conclude what their true motivations are, but on a much larger scale it can be a very dangerous and misleading venture, ie, a rush to judgment. In the absence of convincing evidence to the contrary, we must accept at face value what a person says. That does not mean that we just roll over with trust. The true motivation will eventually come out, as with the muslim ideology.

This is REALLY A DIFFICULT SITUATION. Sunni and Shiite are at odds with each other, with Shiite Iran fostering tensions for both Israelis, Egyptians, Jordanians, and Arabs. For many years now, there has been relative calm and peace among the Southern Middle East neighbors (excluding the Palestinians) . We must not do anything to disrupt that peace. Where it is true that ISIS and other fanatical Islamists are of the Sunni culture, that does not mean all of Saudi Arabia is fanatical. Saudi Arabia should be allowed to protect its own borders, as well as those regions south of it (such as Yemen).
Meanwhile, the Shiites main territory is north of Arabia. Syria's Assad regime leans toward the Shiite side. But Iran propagates hostilities in areas outside of its region, and therefore should be dealt with more harshly. That does not mean you over topple the Assad regime. It means you recognize who the real culprits are in fostering international tensions, but you do not open the playing field up to fanatical Islamists to come in and take over. Nor do you show good will to either Sunni or Shiite by giving them free access to your own country.
This may all sound reasonable and logical. But as we all know, there is nothing reasonable or logical when it comes to the human condition. Meanwhile, Turkey is a "DIVERSE" nation that foretells of things to come in this country if we keep going down that well trodden road of diversity. The only question for those advocating cultural diversity is, WHAT KIND OF DIVERSE VIOLENCE DO YOU WANT? There are reasons for borders you know. You are not going to get the whole world singing in unison KUMBAYA or agreeing to what you claim to be alleged human rights. And your court system has become a religious joke in itself that goes through its rituals and ceremonies to show that it is just, which it is not.

Whether or not Trump has evidence to support his Sander's claim, THE EVIDENCE OF THE LAST 2 DECADES HAS BEEN CLEAR THAT THERE IS DEMOCRATIC LIBERAL SUPPORT WITH THE HELP OF APOLOGETIC REPUBLICANS FOR THE LYING SLANDEROUS MENTALITY DISPLAYED OVER THESE RECENT YEARS.

THUGS picking fights to prove that those they attack are thugs has become the defining attribute of our ridiculous legal system that is erroneously called a "justice" system. Even Hitler claimed to be the victim while attacking Poland. And so it is with liberals who initiate hostilities and then cry foul.

What would negative interest rates mean in this country? Presumably in buying a government bond it would mean that the government could borrow more money and get the interest in addition at the end. A great little Ponzi scheme whereby the government can effectively sell its currency by continuing to borrow without paying for it and enter into the realm of endless debt for which the tax payer would be liable In other words, a BUNCH OF NONSENSE. But then what's new. Our government has been doing a bunch of nonsense all over the place.

"reasonable people in both parties had good reason to be afraid."
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.

"AFRAID"? Do we not see the outright HYPOCRISY?
"GOOD REASON" means "consistency" and "logic" among other things. And these people demonstrating "good reason" have consistently and illogically persecuted the GOOD REASON OF THOSE WHO ACKNOWLEDGE JESUS CHRIST IS GOD, slandering them, throwing them in jail, all with the most vile of hateful emotion.

Atheists argue that if God existed, there would be no evil.
But Christians argue that evil is a manifestation of humanity, and that if Jesus Christ is not God, then there is no God. Further more, Jesus Christ was real and did exist. Atheists may argue that Jesus Christ is dead. To that we ask "What legacy can you possibly bestow upon mankind that can come even close to that given by Jesus Christ?". So much for the atheists arguments. And so much for the Muslims claims that Allah is God.
Donald Trump says "Muslims hate us". More importantly, Muslims reject and hate Jesus Christ. For some time now, I have been talking about the unjustified oppression and persecution of Christians in this country and around the world. And I will NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR CONFRONTING ANY VIOLENT AND/OR LYING ANTI-CHRISTIANS ON ANY LEVEL OF THEIR CHOOSING, THOUGH THAT NOT BE MY PLEASURE.

It is time to look into THE INVOLVEMENT OF CORPORATIONS IN OUR POLITICAL AND CULTURAL LIFE. In recent times, it has become more than obvious how detrimental huge corporations have become to our way of living. And when I say "HUGE" corporations, I am referring to the MULTI-NATIONALS and the TOO-BIG-TO-FAIL. This has been evidenced by the scores of illegals who have been allowed to cross our borders and the most recent financial crisis in which the tax payer had to bail these irresponsible companies whose only motive is to make a profit.
One might reasonably ask, why have these companies been allowed to grow so enormously that they choke off what might be called "corporate diversity". In 1890, a law was passed called THE SHERMAN ANTI-TRUST LAW. WHY HAS OUR SO-CALLED GOVERNMENT NOT INVOKED THIS LAW IN CURTAILING THE CANCEROUS GROWTH OF THESE BEHEMOTHS? The answer is to be found in the buying of politicians and lobbyists so that those behind the scenes can continue to operate unfairly and grow their profits.
If that sounds like anti-capitalism, then I would ask "What do you mean by capitalism?" It seems to be a nebulous term that gets invoked any time someone questions the fairness of what's going on. Certainly "socialism" is nothing more than extorted charity. That's like unnecessarily taking from your pancreas to give to your liver.
But the UNCONTROLLED GROWTH of outright greed, selfishness and national betrayal needs to also be checked. And that is what we have today. Apple would rather protect its profits than try to help glean any information from one little phone of mass murderers. And they further seek to slander those citizens voting for Donald Trump. This is just one example of the many instances of corporate greed that has ruined this country. Free Trade must be Fair Trade and not the prostitution of your country. It is one thing to sell your products (excluding arms) to other countries. It is quite another to put at risk the citizens whose lives depend upon the government doing its proper job in assuring the peace and domestic tranquility.
It has been said that "The best government is the least government". But might not it also be said that "The best corporate dependency is the least corporate dependency." Company loyalty went out the door 50 years ago. And if you believe these companies whose spokes holes say "It's the economy stupid", well just what happened 7 years ago? What makes for a good economy is good competition & entrepreneurship. But that is not possible in a multi-national environment. The big fish invariably winds up devouring the little fish.
This should not be about rich vs. poor. Nor should it be about unearned equality based upon some alleged demographic difference. It should be about fairness and a government performing its responsibilities to citizens, not to foreigners. If you buy the baloney "It's the economy stupid", then you have become one very narrow minded person who has forgotten the principles upon which this country grew and prospered, opting for dependency upon foreign cultures and nations. In the end, you will become a "marshmallow".

"It's the economy stupid". "There is always a bunch of mal-contents." HOW ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING ARE THESE COMMENTS THAT TRIVIALIZE THE INVASION OF BAD BEHAVIOR IMPOSED UPON CITIZENS BY CORPORATE AMERICA AND THE CORPORATE MEDIA. What do we have to do, shoot you before you listen?
The mentality that says "All they want is money" betrays a lack of character that turns a blind eye to justice. Where in some cases "All they want is money" may in fact be true, to apply it indiscriminately across the board, especially when it comes to voting in what is suppose to be a democratic republic, is as evil as the most heinous of crimes, reflective of a self-serving greed that cares not for the culture of the society and that only pays tribute to personal riches.
The citizens of this country want to know that their families, their homes, and their country are safe from foreign cultures and invasions, be they peaceful invasions or outright hostile invasions. They want to know that their vote as a citizen counts and is not diluted by outside influences, and that their vote is not overridden by some phony alleged powers of the court. They want to know that their children will have prospects for a future in which they can earn a living through honest hard work. They want to know that they will not be marginalized by vicious name calling promoted by their own government. These are just a few of the items in which this government and its evolved and reinterpreted positions has denied and oppressed the citizens of this country, a government whose founding fathers would completely disavow and disown were they still alive.

"Have the Chechens come home to roost?" Maybe it is time for journalists to focus on the real truth as to the real human rights abuses in Russia and stop their conspiracy fantasies and blaming Russia for everything.
=================
From Wikipedia.
Chechnya is predominantly Muslim. Most Chechens belong to the Shafi'i school of thought of Sunni Islam.
From 1991 to 1994, tens of thousands of people of non-Chechen ethnicity left the republic amidst reports of violence and discrimination against the non-Chechen population (mostly Russians, Ukrainians and Armenians)
A stereotype of an average Chechen being a fundamentalist Muslim is incorrect and misleading. By the late 2000s, however, two new trends have emerged in Chechnya. A radicalized remnant of the armed Chechen separatist movement has become dominated by Salafis (popularly known in Russia as Wahhabis and present in Chechnya in small numbers since the 1990s), mostly abandoning nationalism in favor of Pan-Islamism and merging with several other regional Islamic insurgencies to form the Caucasus Emirate. "The Caucasus Emirate has fully adopted the tenets of being a Salafist-takfiri jihadist group through its strict adherence to upholding tawhid, its obedience to the literal interpretation of the Quran and the Sunnah, and its complete rejection of bid‘ah, taqlid, and ijtihad."
At the same time, Chechnya under Moscow-backed authoritarian rule of Ramzan Kadyrov has undergone its own controversial counter-campaign of Islamization of the republic, with the local government actively promoting and enforcing their own version of a so-called "traditional Islam", including introducing elements of Sharia that replaced Russian official laws.
=========================
This is who the Russians are fighting & trying to control. One might draw an analogy to Saudi Arabia where divisions within the Sunni sects exist. AND WE ARE SUPPOSE TO CONDEMN RUSSIA FOR TRYING TO CONTAIN THIS NONSENSE? IF SO, THEN WE SHOULD CONDEMN BRITAIN FOR TRYING TO CONTAIN THE IRISH IRA CONFLICTS. AND HOW ABOUT OUR OWN INVOLVEMENT IN THE MIDDLE EAST WHICH HAS DONE PLENTY TO ESCALATE THE RISE OF RADICAL ISLAM?
ALLEGED HUMAN RIGHT GROUPS HAVE DONE NOTHING BUT TO EXACERBATE GLOBAL TENSIONS WITH THEIR HOLIER THAN THOU GARBAGE. THEY WOULD MAKE EXTREMIST APOLOGISTS OF THOSE WHO LISTEN TO THEM AND HAVE THEM SACRIFICE THEIR OWN HOMELAND IN THE NAME OF "HUMANITY" WITHOUT ACKNOWLEDGING THE ULTIMATE ROOT CAUSES OF RELIGIOUS AND CULTURAL CONFLICTS. IF THEY HAD ANY BRAINS AT ALL, THEY WOULD KNOW THAT YOU DO NOT MIX DANGEROUS CHEMICALS AND THAT THE COMPARTMENTALIZATION OF CULTURES IS THE CORRECT AND JUST THING TO DO. MY BET IS THAT THEY ARE TRULY HYPOCRITES AT HOME, KEEPING THEIR OWN CHILDREN IN SEPARATE ROOMS. IN THE LONG RUN, THEY DO A DISSERVICE TO HUMANITY WHICH ULTIMATELY DEMANDS REAL JUSTICE AND NOT JUST LIP SERVICE OR CRYING "FOUL" AS THEY TURN THEIR EYE AWAY FROM THE REAL VICTIMS.
Trust must be earned, and at this point there is very little to trust in the Muslim "IDEOLOGY" being the well proven breeding ground for barbarianism. They have their homelands. LET THEM STAY THERE. That is being a real "HUMANITARIAN". But let them not proliferate and spread their BIGOTRY AND HATRED into the homelands of others.

"Have the Chechens come home to roost?" Maybe it is time for journalists to focus on the real truth as to the real human rights abuses in Russia and stop their conspiracy fantasies and blaming Russia for everything.
=================
From Wikipedia.
Chechnya is predominantly Muslim. Most Chechens belong to the Shafi'i school of thought of Sunni Islam.
From 1991 to 1994, tens of thousands of people of non-Chechen ethnicity left the republic amidst reports of violence and discrimination against the non-Chechen population (mostly Russians, Ukrainians and Armenians)
A stereotype of an average Chechen being a fundamentalist Muslim is incorrect and misleading. By the late 2000s, however, two new trends have emerged in Chechnya. A radicalized remnant of the armed Chechen separatist movement has become dominated by Salafis (popularly known in Russia as Wahhabis and present in Chechnya in small numbers since the 1990s), mostly abandoning nationalism in favor of Pan-Islamism and merging with several other regional Islamic insurgencies to form the Caucasus Emirate. "The Caucasus Emirate has fully adopted the tenets of being a Salafist-takfiri jihadist group through its strict adherence to upholding tawhid, its obedience to the literal interpretation of the Quran and the Sunnah, and its complete rejection of bid‘ah, taqlid, and ijtihad."
At the same time, Chechnya under Moscow-backed authoritarian rule of Ramzan Kadyrov has undergone its own controversial counter-campaign of Islamization of the republic, with the local government actively promoting and enforcing their own version of a so-called "traditional Islam", including introducing elements of Sharia that replaced Russian official laws.
=========================
This is who the Russians are fighting & trying to control. One might draw an analogy to Saudi Arabia where divisions within the Sunni sects exist. AND WE ARE SUPPOSE TO CONDEMN RUSSIA FOR TRYING TO CONTAIN THIS NONSENSE? IF SO, THEN WE SHOULD CONDEMN BRITAIN FOR TRYING TO CONTAIN THE IRISH IRA CONFLICTS. AND HOW ABOUT OUR OWN INVOLVEMENT IN THE MIDDLE EAST WHICH HAS DONE PLENTY TO ESCALATE THE RISE OF RADICAL ISLAM?
ALLEGED HUMAN RIGHT GROUPS HAVE DONE NOTHING BUT TO EXACERBATE GLOBAL TENSIONS WITH THEIR HOLIER THAN THOU GARBAGE. THEY WOULD MAKE EXTREMIST APOLOGISTS OF THOSE WHO LISTEN TO THEM AND HAVE THEM SACRIFICE THEIR OWN HOMELAND IN THE NAME OF "HUMANITY" WITHOUT ACKNOWLEDGING THE ULTIMATE ROOT CAUSES OF RELIGIOUS AND CULTURAL CONFLICTS. IF THEY HAD ANY BRAINS AT ALL, THEY WOULD KNOW THAT YOU DO NOT MIX DANGEROUS CHEMICALS AND THAT THE COMPARTMENTALIZATION OF CULTURES IS THE CORRECT AND JUST THING TO DO.

Look, if you are clamoring about people taking advantage of the loopholes in the tax system, then you have no one to blame but yourself for not fixing it, just like you have no one to blame but yourself for the southern border that leaks like a sieve. And while you are placing blame for both short-comings, you better darn well look at the multinational corporations (that are too big too fail) and their lobbyists that are backing the establishment, both republicans and democrats and who are more than happy to tell the electorate how they should vote.

If it was not a marine accident, then it sure was a near marine accident. Walking along Huntington Beach State Beach today, a speed boat was lumbering along going south about 3/4 miles offshore. Then all of a sudden, a midsize whale (probably heading north) breached right off his port side. The boat stopped turned around. Meanwhile the whale clearly breached 4 more times and then disappeared. (Hope they did not hit it. It was probably spooked by the engine noise.)

The BBC is the Biggest Biased Corporation ever.

But as usual, this so-called factual new reporting agency is a fraud, just like the stupid Brits who have said that Britain should ban Donald Trump. They are invited to keep their nose out of American politics from which they were ousted 250 years ago.

They say "But it will ruin the economy". More FEAR MONGERING? The question is "WHOSE ECONOMY?'. If all of this is nothing but a big show and really nothing but a tug of war between Republican billionaires/companies and Democrat billionaires/companies, then why even bother to have an election? With Mitt Romney's little tirade, maybe we are just beginning to see the real monster for what it truly is.

Most normal Christians will say "Thank You Jesus for protecting me from the things I have seen, and I have seen some pretty terrible things. Is there anything I should have or could have done?" Most atheists will say "Boy I have the best luck and know exactly what I am doing." And then there are those who say "Jesus is not God. I am on God's side, and if you are an infidel, then I have the right to kill you." Take your pick.

Generally, I do not like judges & I do not support unfettered abortion. But there are some correct judges & there are instances where abortion is justified. I certainly do not agree with public funded abortion. You may disagree. Never-the-less that is just my opinion which I do not and would not impose on anybody, unless the world were so over-crowded with people suffering for lack of resources, in which case I would first require sterilization or other imposed contra-ceptive methods. But we are not at that point.... yet.
The question is this- Is one issue that has been unresolved for years going to over-shadow the other issues of Social Security, the Federal Debt, Illegal entry and drugs, sharia law, citizen job depletion, prostitution of the country , our foreign relations, etc . The issues need prioritizing which I personally believe to be combating radical Islam, illegal entry, and a judiciary out of control.

You are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. We no longer have a "justice" system. It is a legal system that cares not about justice. And it stems from FBI Director E Hoover's statement that "Justice is merely incidental to law and order". So as with Caiaphas, it has become strictly a matter of law which is fraudulently called a "justice system" that is contrary to the principles of a democratic republic and is pursuing a course of Christian oppression and persecution. And it is a global evil that must be stopped, but won't be stopped by being apologetic.

The BIG QUESTION in all of this is China's perception of what constitutes "JUSTICE" and to what extent China is willing to go down one path or the other. If the US keeps pressing China over ridiculous alleged human rights, like same-sex marriage and other trivial issues, then certainly China will side with North Korea, even if it is the instigator of hostilities. If the US keeps pressuring Russia over the ridiculous overthrow of democratic government in the Ukraine and keeps knocking on Russia's door with a continued build-up of NATO, that will also impact China's decisions. We can certainly argue with China over the economy and it's island building in the S. China Sea. Those are legitimate concerns. But trying to pressure another culture and impose upon them obvious ridiculous allegations is preparing, if not lighting, the fuse for global warfare. And certainly in all of the confusion, ISIS will benefit and expand.
So you better choose your enemies wisely and prioritize them accordingly. If you are worried about upsetting ISIS simply because you have prisoners in GTMO, THEN YOU ARE PRETTY DAMNED STUPID AND HAVE NO BUSINESS BEING PRESIDENT. IF YOU SEEK A REGIME CHANGE IN A COUNTRY THAT IS NOT THREATENING YOU DIRECTLY, BUT ONLY BECAUSE IT DOES NOT CONFORM TO YOUR RIDICULOUS STANDARDS, THEN YOU ARE PRETTY DAMNED STUPID AND HAVE NO BUSINESS BEING PRESIDENT. IF YOU HAVE A TREATY WITH A COUNTRY THAT IS SHOOTING IN THE BACK THE ONLY FORCE THAT HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN DEFEATING YOUR WORST ENEMY, THEN YOU ARE PRETTY DAMNED STUPID AND NEED TO BACK OFF FROM DOING BUSINESS WITH THAT COUNTRY. AND IF YOU ARE ALLIED WITH A COUNTRY THAT YOU GIVE TONS OF AIDE TO AND WHICH TURNS AROUND AND INFILTRATES YOUR COUNTRY WITH ITS OWN CULTURE AND FALSE ALLEGATIONS TO OVERTHROW YOUR OWN AND YOU CONTINUE TO IGNORE THE OBJECTIONS OF CITIZENS, THEN YOU ARE NOT ONLY STUPID AND HAVE NO BUSINESS BEING PRESIDENT, BUT YOU ARE A FRAUD AND A PHONY ALLEGING YOURSELF TO BE A JUST AND RIGHTEOUS PERSON, WHICH YOU ARE NOT.

The HYPOCRISY & UNTRUTHFULNESS of SLANDEROUS POLITICAL WORD GAMES.
There is an obvious untruthful hypocrisy this country is engaging in when it comes to political comment. It has to do with FEAR MONGERING in attempts to condemn & tear down the character of a person based upon his/her opinion, all unsubstantiated by sufficient evidence. The label that is most commonly used to induce the ultimate fear & achieve this fraudulent condemnation is the word "NAZI" . It is like yelling "fire" when there is no fire. But it scares the hell out of people.
Calling another person a "Nazi" is not hypocritical. But unless the person comes out and proclaims himself a "Nazi", then any such accusation is untruthful and slanderous. It is no different than a KKK person coming out and calling a white person supporting black civil rights a "n----r lover". Both are untruthful and slanderous.
In this country, far more often than is healthy , for one trivial reason or another, dishonest people unfairly label others they do not favor a "Nazi". Henry Ford was labeled a "Nazi". Charles Lindbergh was labeled a "NazI". King Edward was labeled a "Nazi". Jerry Brown labeled Meg Whitman a ""Nazi". Now Meg Whitman is calling Donald Trump a "Nazi". So what do we have now, a bunch of Nazis condemning a bunch of other Nazis.
But where is the hypocrisy in all of this? The hypocrisy comes when a leftist, all in the same breath, accuses another of being a "Nazi" and a "homophobe" or a "xneophobe" or an "Islamaphobe" . In other words, they are fear mongering in one breath, but chastising for being fearful in another breath. THAT IS HYPOCRISY.
FDR made it very clear. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself, And I might include, " and those who are fear mongers". Political correctness be damned, because it makes mice out of men and apologists out of the righteous..
Now the other side of the coin is unjustified HATE MONGERING. Suffice it to say that the only justified hatred is when it stands against those who hate God, Who is Jesus Christ. And the Islamic world does in fact reject and hate Jesus Christ, a fact that has been demonstrated for 1500 years. If you are an intelligent person, you can draw your own conclusions from that fact alone. And if you do not believe in God at all, but still claim to be a "humanitarian", you should still be able to see the truth of the matter... that is if you even have half a brain.

People say they want the government to provide them with security. Yet they turn right around and deny the government of the means of providing them with that security. Ex Apple Iphone secrecy. Black Lives Matter say they want the police to stop shooting aggressive black violators like Michael brown. Yet they burn down the town and ignore real black victims like Jamiel Shaw. People say they want jobs. Yet they turn right around and vote for open border politicians who allow foreigners to take their jobs. Politicians say they want the mass shootings to stop. Yet they turn right around to protect the criminals and let them back out on the streets. People say it is wrong to kill. Yet they turn right around and turn a blind eye to real killers, opting to have their children support them for the rest of their lives. People say we live in a "democratic republic". Yet they allow a handful of judges to overturn their majority vote. People say we should be compassionate to foreigners we do not even know. Yet they turn their back on their own neighbors. People say we should allow freedom of religion. Yet we allow ideologies that claim to be religious while seeking to enslave a free people and publicly force others to adopt their objectionable ways. People say ISIS is a barbarian that needs to be killed. Yet they want to stop water-boarding and kill ISIS saying "Please Mr ISIS. Forgive me. I don't want to offend you in any way. I am such a good person. But may I please kill you after I go through my little judicial ritual and give you a fair trial.". Meanwhile, they play games to implement regime changes where it is unwise, giving room to ISIS to grow. People say they believe in non-aggression, justice and fairness. Yet they turn right around and support the overthrow of a democratic Ukrainian government that visits its wrath upon the Russian culture in the east. People say they are peaceful humanitarians.. Yet they make agreements with Turkey which shoots the Kurds in the back and was probably responsible for the genocide of millions of Christian Armenians. Nazi Germany no longer exists. Communist Russia no longer exists. Russia dissolved its Warsaw Pac years ago. But since that time, NATO has grown from 8 member nations to 28 member nations all knocking on Russia's front doorstep. Just exactly who is the real aggressor?

Why do I support Trump? There is one thing I saw him do that no other politician has ever done. I saw him reach down and give recognition to the father & familly of Jamiel Shaw, a black family that has not only been victimized by the murder of their son by an illegal, but a family that has been completely shunned by the bigoted hypocrites of Los Angeles. And that to me speaks volumes as to the real character of Mr Trump.
Now you may say that Trump is using victims to propel his campaign. But given what he is sacrificing to alleged gain does not seem even remotely logical. On the other hand, we have Mr Romney who has been nothing but a pretty boy along with his crony establishment, which includes governors who have commuted the sentences of convicted murderers and others who would prostitute this country to foreigners for votes. So as far as I'm concerned, the establishment can take a flying leap, unless they can come up with some definitive proof that Mr Trump deliberately set out to defraud students of Trump U.

Okay. Let's compare. Hillary's $109 Million take home over 7 years for short little no cost nothing in return speeches & Jeb Bush's $130 slander campaign to Trumps $40 Million for Trump University operation from 2005 to 2011. WHICH HAD MORE TO OFFER IN RETURN? Of course the law suit brought against Trump U is instigated by a DEMOCRATIC NY A/G.
If Romney wants to rant and rave about alleged fraud, THEN AT LEAST HAVE THE DECENCY TO DO SO WITHOUT SLANDERING THE CHARACTER. AND LET'S CONSIDER THE WHOLE TIME FRAME OVER WHICH TRUMP U OPERATED , THE BBB RATINGS OVER THAT TIME FRAME, THE MATERIALS OFFERED INCLUDING THE ONLINE MATERIAL, THE NUMBER OF REFUNDS THAT WERE GRANTED, ETC, ETC AND LET'S CONSIDER THE MIDDLE MANAGEMENT WHICH MIGHT HAVE BEING DOING THINGS UNKNOWN TO TRUMP HIMSELF, SIMILAR TO THE UNDERLINGS TO CHRIS CHRISTIE IN SHUTTING DOWN THE BRIDGE. IF TRUMP IS LYING ABOUT NOT KNOWING THE INSTRUCTORS, THEN LET THOSE INSTRUCTORS COME FORWARD AND REFUTE THAT CLAIM. BUT THIS "GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT' PATHOLOGY MUST STOP.
The claims that Trump U was the same as the Madoff Ponzi scheme are fraudulent claims in themselves. A pyramid scheme, which every sales organization boils down to, is not a Ponzi scheme. a Ponzi scheme is nothing more than taking investor money from new comers to payoff old investors while skimming off the top and offers nothing in the way of training, materials,etc. A pyramid scheme is the building of an heirarchical organization which every company does. Apple is a pyramid organization, Walmart is a pyramid organization, the US government is a pyramid organization. And Trump U was a pyramid organization. But do not liken it to a Ponzi scheme. That is dishonest in itself.
You know, Bernie Sanders does have some points about NAFTA and the working class being screwed by the rich. And Occupy Wall Street had their points. I don't agree with their legalized extorted charity solution, but I do believe they are at least honest in their accusations without being slanderous..

I don't agree with their legalized extorted charity solution, but I do believe they are at least honest in their accusations without being slanderous..

People love to condemn others over how offended they are over the least little thing. I'll tell you what I find offensive. When a father who has murdered his wife sends a letter to his son from prison with a picture of smirking inmates on which is written "Clean Cut Christian Boys", then I AM OFFENDED AS A CHRISTIAN. When a judge tells the children of a murdered parent to "FORGIVE & FORGET", then I am offended as a parent and a citizen. You know nothing of being offended if a few off-the-wall remarks cause you to sue in court. There is no justice, there is no correctness in "political correctness". There are only cry babies. So Mitt Romney, take your whiny little complaints and get lost.

The lesson of Ramos and Compean. If you are in law enforcement and a politician says "I've got your back", don't trust him. If a government says "Give me your gun, I'll protect you", don't trust it. Without the earning of it, trust is undeserved.

The fact is they are both right according to this article. Given that fact, I will stick with Trump. After all, if he did not really care about the country, why would he even consider risking his own personal wealth and all of the slanderous things said against him. Who needs that abuse?

All of the discussions about whose tax plan is the best is NOTHING BUT A BUNCH OF HYPE. Every election we hear different candidates touting their tax plan. But the fact of the matter is that any tax plan has to pass Congress. Has anybody in all of the years seen any one candidate's proposed tax plan come into actual implementation? NO! The only last presidential proposed tax plan to actually be implemented was the Tax Reform Act of 1986 under Reagan.
So all you candidates this year, stop talking about your stupid tax plans and start addressing the issues really affecting our citizens.

HOW MUCH WAS ROMNEY PAID TO SLANDER TRUMP?
It is the Mitt Romneys & the GWB's & the John McCain's in concert with lying liberal democrats that have led this country down the drain with their holier than thou, slandering , name calling, trash digging deceptions. GWB called Minute Men a bunch of "lawless vigilantes". John McCain said he was for border control & then turned around and solicited the help of La Raza. And now Romney comes out showing what a disgusting slime ball he is and that he truly was the originator of Obamacare. These Dr Strangle Love, saber rattling politicians would have us in another war with Russia while allowing the Islamic State to continue beheading innocent people. You cannot betray the citizens of a country by extorting their very homeland from them in the name of compassion and justice and be anything other than a complete fraud yourself. You cannot call yourself a Christian if you deprive your own to allow the influx of a demonic ideology such as Islam. You cannot call yourself an American if you do not adhere to "innocent until proven guilty". THE PROSTITUTION OF THIS COUNTRY BY SELF SERVING POLITICIANS SEEKING POWER (like Romney, like Hillary, like Obama, liike Harry Reid, like Jerry Brown, like Barbara Boxer, like Dianne Feinstein, & all of the rest of the establishment) MUST STOP. For decades it has been just the same old crap over, and over, and over again. Party lines be damned. This is about the citizens, not the freaking parties that conspire against the citizens, with their party-leader chosen super delegates or their winner take all deviations from democratic voting. IT IS TIME FOR SOME NEW FRESHNESS AWAY FROM THE SAME OLD STALE RHETORIC.

Let me tell you, if you think what has been the Republican establishment is "CONSERVATIVE", then you extreme radical lying liberal leftists really scare me with your unjustified rushes to judgment and slandering name calling. At least Bernie Sanders seems to have some elements of telling the truth, unlike the lying race-gonad-wallet mongering Hillary. At least give us some opposition that is worthy and credible and that we're just not considering because we feel sorry for her. You want to introduce a woman president, how about Elizabeth Warren or Condolezza Rice Sarah Palin or an Angela Merkel type. But with Hillary its more like sexists vengence. We have had enough of the Bush's and the Clinton's. They've had their say and it's time for them to go. But they know nothing of graceful courteous exits, instead insisting on being in our faces with their absolute bull-shit..

1. INTRODUCING THE OPENER 2ND 2C FORCING BID, aka, ELEVATED UP-THE-LINE BIDDING.
From the very beginning, opener will require at least two bids to describe his hand's HCP and shape. If opener's 1st bid is in a major, then he promises at least 5 cards in that major. Most players will agree that if he has another lower ranking 5+ card suit with only 13-15 points, then he can simple bid his 2nd suit at the 2-level. And if he has another 5-card suit with 16+ points, then he can jump to the 3-level in his 2nd suit. But there is disagreement as to how high over 16 points his range can go.
To alleviate this problem, my answer is that if opener has 19+ points, he should start bidding at the 2-level, not the 1-level. The result is that an opening in a suit at the 1-level cannot be more than 18 HCP. Therefore, the opener will have either 13-15 HCP or 16-18 HCP when he opens in a suit at the 1-level. So if the opener makes a jump bid, then he has exactly 16-18 points and no more.
There is also disagreement as to how long the opener's 2nd suit must be if he bids his 2nd new suit at or above the 2-level. In the past, it has been customary to be able to bid only a 4-card suit
at higher levels with a minimum of 13 points as long as it is a suit lower in rank. Thus the exact length of opener's 2nd suit remains ambiguous. It is my contention, that if the opener has less than 16 points and not another 5-card suit, then he should not voluntarily bid a new suit past 1N unless he is forced. This does not exclude him from rebidding his original suit or raising responder's suit at the next level(S) as long as he has the required suit length. I further contend that if opener simply bids 2C as a refresh to start bidding UP-THE-LINE at the 2-level, and even though he made not actually have a club suit, then the partnership will uncover a 4-4 fit if there is one to be found. If opener does have a 5+card club suit as a 2nd suit, he can simply rebid 3C. There is no damage done.
Before going on with the OPENER 2C FORCING BID, I must first dispense with the most bizarre of hand shapes, the RADICAL 2-SUITED HAND WITH A 2-CARD SPREAD.
2. OPENER'S BIDDING WITH A RADICAL 2-SUITED HAND WITH A 2-CARD SPREAD. In what follows it is assumed that responder has not raised the opener's 1st bid suit & that opener has NOT 4-card support for responder's first bid suit.
Opener's 1st bid will normally be in his highest ranking and longest 5+card suit at the 1-level. If opener has 5 spades and 6 hearts, he will still open 1S. If opener has 5 hearts and 6 diamonds, he will still open 1H. If opener has 5 diamonds and 6 clubs, he will still open 1D. But what if opener has a 2-card difference between his two long suits? What if he has 7 spades and 5 hearts with the higher ranking suit being longest? In this case, I suggest a normal opening in the long suit followed by a 2nd jump bid to the 3-level in the 2nd suit. But what if he has 7 clubs with 5 diamonds, ie, the longer suit being lower in rank? In this case, I suggest opening 1st in the lower ranking suit and then giving a REVERSE bid at the next level in the shorter higher
ranking suit. Thus, responder will know that opener has a RADICAL 2-SUITED hand with more than 1-card difference in length.
Examples: 1H -> 1S -> 3C means opener has 7 hearts with a 5-card club suit.
1D -> 1S -> 2H means opener has 7 diamonds with a 5-card heart suit.
I can hear the cry and the hue coming from bridge players now. What in the hell s he doing?
Don't worry. Read on & I will answer you concerns, if I have not already.
3. OPENER'S BIDDING WITH A NORMAL 2-SUITED HAND & THE OPENER 2C FORCING BID.
In what follows it is assumed that responder has not raised the opener's 1st bid suit & that
opener has NOT 4-card support for responder's first bid suit. It is also assumed that opener's
two 5+ card suits are of nearly equal lengths, ie, no more than a 1-card difference in length.
As stated before, opener will begin with his highest ranking 5+ card suit even if it is shorter
in length than his 2nd suit.
a. With 13-15 points, he will simply rebid his 2nd lower ranking suit at the next level, ie, a
SIMPLE SHIFT. If his 2nd suit is clubs, then he will bid 2C FORCING on his 2nd bid, followed
by 3C on his 3rd bid. Thus, responder is completely assured of opener's shape and points.
b. With 16-18 points, opener will bid 2C FORCING on his 2nd bid if clubs is not his 2nd suit.
Then on his 3rd turn he will bid his 2nd suit at the 3-level, ie, the equivalent of a JUMP
SHIFT. However, with 16-18 points and where his 2nd suit is clubs, then he will jump shift
immediately to 3C on his 2nd bid. Thus responder is absolutely assured that opener's 2nd
suit is also at least 5-cards long.
Examples: 1H -> 1S -> 2C -> 2N -> 3D
means opener has 5 hearts & a 5-card diamond suit with 16-18 points.
1H -> 1S -> 2D
means opener has 5 hearts & a 5-card diamond suit with 13-15 points.
1D -> 1H -> 3C
means opener has 5 diamonds & a 5-card club suit with 16-18 points.
1D -> 1H -> 2C -> 2S -> 3C
means opener has 5 diamonds & a 5-card club suit with 13-15 points.
1S -> 1N -> 2C -> 2N -> PASS
means opener has 5 spades & an unknown 4-card suit with 16-18 points.
1S -> 1N -> 2C -> 2H -> 2N
means opener has 5 spades & a 4-card minor suit with 16-18 points.
1S -> 1N -> 2C -> 2H -> 3H
means opener has 5 spades & a 4-card heart suit with 16-18 points.
1S -> 1N -> 2C -> 2D -> 2N
means opener has 5 spades & a 4-card club suit with 16-18 points.
1S -> 1N -> 2C -> 2D -> 3D
means opener has 5 spades & a 4-card diamond suit with 16-18 points.
4. OPENER'S BIDDING WITH A SINGLE 6+ CARD SUIT & NO OTHER 4-CARD SUIT.
In what follows it is assumed that responder has not raised the opener's 1st bid suit & that
opener has NOT 4-card support for responder's first bid suit.
In opening the bidding, we have said that the opener will normally start by bidding his highest
ranking 5+ card suit. If the opener has only 13-15 points, then he will simply rebid his suit
at the next level up without jumping, ie a SIMPLE REBID. But if he has 16-18 points, then he
will rebid his suit by jumping a level in doing so,ie, a JUMP REBID.
If opener has only a 6+card club suit with no other 4-card suit & 16-18 points,
he will open 1C and then jump to 3C. If opener has 6+ clubs but only 13-15 points, then he will
open 1C, then rebid 2C, followed by a 3C bid.
Examples: 1H -> 1S -> 2H
means opener has 6 hearts with 13-15 points & no 4-card spade suit.
1H -> 1S -> 3H
means opener has 6 hearts with 16-18 points & no 4-card spade suit.
1C -> 1S -> 3C
means opener has 6 clubs with 16-18 points & no 4-card spade suit.
1C -> 1S -> 2C -> 2D ->3C
means opener has 6 clubs with 13-15 points & no 4-card spade suit.
5. OPENER'S BIDDING WITH A SINGLE 5-CARD SUIT AND NO 4-CARD SUIT.
In what follows it is assumed that responder has not raised the opener's 1st bid suit & that
opener has NOT 4-card support for responder's first bid suit.
We have already addressed this hand shape with 16-18 points in other areas, because this is a
SEMI-BALANCED HAND. With 13-15 points, opener will open in the 5-card suit at the 1-level
and stop short of passing up 1N unless he is forced by responder.
6. OPENER'S BIDDING WITH A SINGLE 5-CARD SUIT AND A 2ND 4-CARD SUIT. BIDDING UP-THE-LINE.
Bidding UP-THE-LINE is a process by which opener and responder seek to find an immediate good fit
at the 1-level in the absence of opener starting with 1S, & it does not preclude opener from having
a lower ranking 5-card suit. It means that responder, if he does not immediately support opener's
1st bid suit, will bid his lowest ranking 4-card suit at the 1-level, unless he has a higher
ranking 5+ card suit. If responder happens to bid a suit in which opener also has 4-cards, then
opener will raise (ie, rebid) that same suit at the higher level(s) depending upon his point count.
With 13-15 points, opener will raise responder's suit to the next level without jumping. But with
16-18 points, opener will jump raise the responder's suit.
If opener does not have 4-card support for responder's suit,then:
a. With 16-18 points, opener should bid 2C FORCING. From there he should proceed to bid UP-THE-LINE
at the 2-level in search of the 4-4 fit.
b. With 13-15 points, opener should bid UP-THE-LINE at the 1-level his next lowest ranking unbid
4-card suit until he is left with no choice other than 1N. If responder bids 1N first, then
opener should "PASS".
Examples: 1C -> 1D -> 1H
means opener has 4+ clubs with 13-15 points & a 4-card heart suit.
1D -> 1H -> 2C -> 2D -> 2S
means opener has 4+ diamonds with 16-18 points & a 4-card spade suit.
1D -> 1H -> 2H
means opener has 4 hearts with 13-15 points. SIMPLE RAISE.
1D -> 1H -> 3H
means opener has 4 hearts with 16-18 points. JUMP RAISE.
1S -> 2H -> 2N
means opener has only 13-15 points.
1S -> 2H -> 3C
means opener has 16-18 points & a 4-card minor suit.
1S -> 2H -> 3N
means opener has 16-18 points & a FLAT 5-CARD MAJOR.
7. OPENER'S BIDDING WITH NO 5-CARD SUITS.
If he does not have a 5-card suit, then opener will start by bidding his highest ranking 4-card
minor suit at the 1-level. If he does not have a 4-card minor, then he will open 1C.
It should also be noted that the opening of 1C or 1D denies having a 5+card major suit.
The opening of 1D promises a 4+card diamond suit. Furthermore, a hand containing 4 spades and 4
hearts and 3 diamonds will not be opened in anything other than 1C which would be a 2-card STUBBY
CLUB suit. He should then bid as previously desscribed in 6. above.
Examples: You open 1D having 4 hearts, 4 diamonds, 4 clubs & 16-18 points.
Your partner says 1S. UUUGG. Do you really want to bid 2H REVERSE?
And you don't really want to bid 1N which is too weak. So why not just bid 2C?
ENTER THE OPENER 2ND CLUB FORCING BID.
You open 1C & partner says 1D. You have 16-18 points with 4 hearts & 3 spades.
If you don't go immediately to the 2-level, you risk understating your point count.
WHY NOT JUST START UP-THE-LINE AGAIN AT THE 2-LEVEL BY BIDDING 2C AS AN OPENER 2ND
CLUB FORCING?
1C -> 1D -> 2C -> 2D -> 2H
1C -> 1D -> 2C -> 2H -> 3H
8. COMPLAINTS/OBJECTIONS.
a. CHANGE IN THE MEANING OF THE REVERSE BID.
What's your problem? After bidding 2C, You can still bid your 4-card suit at the 2-level.
b. WHAT ABOUT THE CLUB SUIT?
WHAT IF I REALLY HAVE CLUBS?
Well that first depends upon your hand's shape.
If you have 7 clubs with 5 hearts as an example, then the REVERSE stands out like a sore thumb.
If you have 7 spades & 5 clubs, then you open 1S & then bid 2C followed by 3C if you have
13-15 points.
If you have 7 spades & 5 clubs, then you open 1S & then immediately bid 3C if you have
16-18 points.
If you have 6 clubs & 5 hearts with 16-18 points, you open 1H then bid 3C.
But if you have 5 clubs & 6 hearts with 13-15 points, you open 1H then bid 2C, and then bid 3C.
Let me ask you, how would you bid it normally if you have 5 spades & 5 clubs with 13 points?
I bet you would bid 1S followed by 2C followed by 3C? And what if all you had was a 6-card club
suit with 13 points? I bet you would bid 1C followed by 2C, followed by 3C.
So what is your problem with 2C FORCING?
From the very beginning, opener will require at least two bids to describe his hand's HCP and shape. If opener's 1st bid is in a major, then he promises at least 5 cards in that major. Most players will agree that if he has another lower ranking 5+ card suit with only 13-15 points, then he can simple bid his 2nd suit at the 2-level. And if he has another 5-card suit with 16+ points, then he can jump to the 3-level in his 2nd suit. But there is disagreement as to how high over 16 points his range can go.
To alleviate this problem, my answer is that if opener has 19+ points, he should start bidding at the 2-level, not the 1-level. The result is that an opening in a suit at the 1-level cannot be more than 18 HCP. Therefore, the opener will have either 13-15 HCP or 16-18 HCP when he opens in a suit at the 1-level. So if the opener makes a jump bid, then he has exactly 16-18 points and no more.
There is also disagreement as to how long the opener's 2nd suit must be if he bids his 2nd new suit at or above the 2-level. In the past, it has been customary to be able to bid only a 4-card suit
at higher levels with a minimum of 13 points as long as it is a suit lower in rank. Thus the exact length of opener's 2nd suit remains ambiguous. It is my contention, that if the opener has less than 16 points and not another 5-card suit, then he should not voluntarily bid a new suit past 1N unless he is forced. This does not exclude him from rebidding his original suit or raising responder's suit at the next level(S) as long as he has the required suit length. I further contend that if opener simply bids 2C as a refresh to start bidding UP-THE-LINE at the 2-level, and even though he made not actually have a club suit, then the partnership will uncover a 4-4 fit if there is one to be found. If opener does have a 5+card club suit as a 2nd suit, he can simply rebid 3C. There is no damage done.
Before going on with the OPENER 2C FORCING BID, I must first dispense with the most bizarre of hand shapes, the RADICAL 2-SUITED HAND WITH A 2-CARD SPREAD.
2. OPENER'S BIDDING WITH A RADICAL 2-SUITED HAND WITH A 2-CARD SPREAD. In what follows it is assumed that responder has not raised the opener's 1st bid suit & that opener has NOT 4-card support for responder's first bid suit.
Opener's 1st bid will normally be in his highest ranking and longest 5+card suit at the 1-level. If opener has 5 spades and 6 hearts, he will still open 1S. If opener has 5 hearts and 6 diamonds, he will still open 1H. If opener has 5 diamonds and 6 clubs, he will still open 1D. But what if opener has a 2-card difference between his two long suits? What if he has 7 spades and 5 hearts with the higher ranking suit being longest? In this case, I suggest a normal opening in the long suit followed by a 2nd jump bid to the 3-level in the 2nd suit. But what if he has 7 clubs with 5 diamonds, ie, the longer suit being lower in rank? In this case, I suggest opening 1st in the lower ranking suit and then giving a REVERSE bid at the next level in the shorter higher
ranking suit. Thus, responder will know that opener has a RADICAL 2-SUITED hand with more than 1-card difference in length.
Examples: 1H -> 1S -> 3C means opener has 7 hearts with a 5-card club suit.
1D -> 1S -> 2H means opener has 7 diamonds with a 5-card heart suit.
I can hear the cry and the hue coming from bridge players now. What in the hell s he doing?
Don't worry. Read on & I will answer you concerns, if I have not already.
3. OPENER'S BIDDING WITH A NORMAL 2-SUITED HAND & THE OPENER 2C FORCING BID.

opener has NOT 4-card support for responder's first bid suit. It is also assumed that opener's

Examples: 1H -> 1S -> 2C -> 2N -> 3D

In what follows it is assumed that responder has not raised the opener's 1st bid suit & that
opener has NOT 4-card support for responder's first bid suit.
In opening the bidding, we have said that the opener will normally start by bidding his highest
ranking 5+ card suit. If the opener has only 13-15 points, then he will simply rebid his suit
at the next level up without jumping, ie a SIMPLE REBID. But if he has 16-18 points, then he
will rebid his suit by jumping a level in doing so,ie, a JUMP REBID.
If opener has only a 6+card club suit with no other 4-card suit & 16-18 points,
he will open 1C and then jump to 3C. If opener has 6+ clubs but only 13-15 points, then he will
open 1C, then rebid 2C, followed by a 3C bid.
Examples: 1H -> 1S -> 2H
means opener has 6 hearts with 13-15 points & no 4-card spade suit.
1H -> 1S -> 3H
means opener has 6 hearts with 16-18 points & no 4-card spade suit.
1C -> 1S -> 3C
means opener has 6 clubs with 16-18 points & no 4-card spade suit.
1C -> 1S -> 2C -> 2D ->3C
means opener has 6 clubs with 13-15 points & no 4-card spade suit.
5. OPENER'S BIDDING WITH A SINGLE 5-CARD SUIT AND NO 4-CARD SUIT.
In what follows it is assumed that responder has not raised the opener's 1st bid suit & that
opener has NOT 4-card support for responder's first bid suit.
We have already addressed this hand shape with 16-18 points in other areas, because this is a
SEMI-BALANCED HAND. With 13-15 points, opener will open in the 5-card suit at the 1-level
and stop short of passing up 1N unless he is forced by responder.
6. OPENER'S BIDDING WITH A SINGLE 5-CARD SUIT AND A 2ND 4-CARD SUIT. BIDDING UP-THE-LINE.
Bidding UP-THE-LINE is a process by which opener and responder seek to find an immediate good fit
at the 1-level in the absence of opener starting with 1S, & it does not preclude opener from having
a lower ranking 5-card suit. It means that responder, if he does not immediately support opener's
1st bid suit, will bid his lowest ranking 4-card suit at the 1-level, unless he has a higher
ranking 5+ card suit. If responder happens to bid a suit in which opener also has 4-cards, then
opener will raise (ie, rebid) that same suit at the higher level(s) depending upon his point count.
With 13-15 points, opener will raise responder's suit to the next level without jumping. But with
16-18 points, opener will jump raise the responder's suit.
If opener does not have 4-card support for responder's suit,then:
a. With 16-18 points, opener should bid 2C FORCING. From there he should proceed to bid UP-THE-LINE
at the 2-level in search of the 4-4 fit.
b. With 13-15 points, opener should bid UP-THE-LINE at the 1-level his next lowest ranking unbid
4-card suit until he is left with no choice other than 1N. If responder bids 1N first, then
opener should "PASS".
Examples: 1C -> 1D -> 1H
means opener has 4+ clubs with 13-15 points & a 4-card heart suit.
1D -> 1H -> 2C -> 2D -> 2S
means opener has 4+ diamonds with 16-18 points & a 4-card spade suit.
1D -> 1H -> 2H
means opener has 4 hearts with 13-15 points. SIMPLE RAISE.
1D -> 1H -> 3H
means opener has 4 hearts with 16-18 points. JUMP RAISE.
1S -> 2H -> 2N
means opener has only 13-15 points.
1S -> 2H -> 3C
means opener has 16-18 points & a 4-card minor suit.
1S -> 2H -> 3N
means opener has 16-18 points & a FLAT 5-CARD MAJOR.
7. OPENER'S BIDDING WITH NO 5-CARD SUITS.
If he does not have a 5-card suit, then opener will start by bidding his highest ranking 4-card
minor suit at the 1-level. If he does not have a 4-card minor, then he will open 1C.
It should also be noted that the opening of 1C or 1D denies having a 5+card major suit.
The opening of 1D promises a 4+card diamond suit. Furthermore, a hand containing 4 spades and 4
hearts and 3 diamonds will not be opened in anything other than 1C which would be a 2-card STUBBY
CLUB suit. He should then bid as previously desscribed in 6. above.
Examples: You open 1D having 4 hearts, 4 diamonds, 4 clubs & 16-18 points.
Your partner says 1S. UUUGG. Do you really want to bid 2H REVERSE?
And you don't really want to bid 1N which is too weak. So why not just bid 2C?
ENTER THE OPENER 2ND CLUB FORCING BID.
You open 1C & partner says 1D. You have 16-18 points with 4 hearts & 3 spades.
If you don't go immediately to the 2-level, you risk understating your point count.
WHY NOT JUST START UP-THE-LINE AGAIN AT THE 2-LEVEL BY BIDDING 2C AS AN OPENER 2ND
CLUB FORCING?
1C -> 1D -> 2C -> 2D -> 2H
1C -> 1D -> 2C -> 2H -> 3H
8. COMPLAINTS/OBJECTIONS.
a. CHANGE IN THE MEANING OF THE REVERSE BID.
What's your problem? After bidding 2C, You can still bid your 4-card suit at the 2-level.
b. WHAT ABOUT THE CLUB SUIT?
WHAT IF I REALLY HAVE CLUBS?
Well that first depends upon your hand's shape.
If you have 7 clubs with 5 hearts as an example, then the REVERSE stands out like a sore thumb.
If you have 7 spades & 5 clubs, then you open 1S & then bid 2C followed by 3C if you have
13-15 points.
If you have 7 spades & 5 clubs, then you open 1S & then immediately bid 3C if you have
16-18 points.
If you have 6 clubs & 5 hearts with 16-18 points, you open 1H then bid 3C.
But if you have 5 clubs & 6 hearts with 13-15 points, you open 1H then bid 2C, and then bid 3C.
Let me ask you, how would you bid it normally if you have 5 spades & 5 clubs with 13 points?
I bet you would bid 1S followed by 2C followed by 3C? And what if all you had was a 6-card club
suit with 13 points? I bet you would bid 1C followed by 2C, followed by 3C.
So what is your problem with 2C FORCING?

Extorting home and country from some to turn around and give to others in the name of compassion and justice is neither justice nor compassion.

What happened to WAR ROOM? Probably too boring for those needing an adrenaline high. How stupid is that? Maybe Sharpton had a point after all?? But generally I tune him out, because i don't vote for color, I vote for quality.
If you buy a car simply based on it's color, then you are pretty damn stupid. On the other hand, if you sell a car based on its color, then you are either stupid or a liar. When are we going to start arguing "quality" and not "color"? When are we going to stop being arrogant, prideful and in each other's face over our color. When are we going to stop using our color as an excuse? When are we going to stop saying "Dumb blacks" or "Dumb whites"? IT IS TOTALLY STUPID !!!!! GET A LIFE !!!!
This does not mean you should just blindly accept any and all of those voluntarily seeking entry into your personal life or your country. You do have rights to exclude. But if on the other hand you have forced others into your life and deprived them of their native homeland, then you have the responsibility, if not the duty, of at least including them as you would others. That does not mean that you go overboard in seeing to it that every little act requires due diligence in seeing to it that no one is possibly offended and to the point that valid rewards are overlooked for the purposes of avoiding such alleged offenses.
There is also a time and a place for righteous discrimination, especially when it comes to not rewarding bad behavior. And I have to say that homosexuality is BAD BEHAVIOR THAT IS NOT REALLY LOVE. Those who are parents and who have homosexual children are in a most difficult position, because they are responsible for their children being here. And as long as they are minor children, parents have a duty to protect their children. But once the children become grown adults, then the parents are no longer responsible. The children are responsible and should be held accountable for their acts, not the parents. THEY SHOULD KNOW HOW DEEPLY THEIR ACTS ABHOR THE PARENTS AND WHAT A DIFFICULT POSITION IT PUTS THE PARENTS IN FROM THE POSITION OF THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST.
Of course, if the parents are of the same mind set, then none of them are true believers in Jesus Christ, because their acts are to the contrary. No matter, that is the choice given to them by Jesus Christ, because He does allow for His very own rejection. (at least in this world). Jesus wants volunteers, not slaves. And He wants quality believers, not hypocrites. As with Abraham & Issac, if we have to choose between one or the other, then it will be God's way and not the youth. And God's way says banishment, exclusion and rejection are fair game until there is a repentance.
Should a child be allowed to climb back into his mother's womb? We can wish we were never born. We can wish for acceptance. But sometimes our own behavior warrants rejection. Don't tell me you cannot help it, because you can help it. No one is holding a gun to your head. However, if you happen to be born aphroditic (ie, multi-sexual), then make a choice and get an operation and stick with it. In today's world, you have all kinds of choices. Certainly if you can't afford it, there should be financial aide to get your operation. But there must be physical evidence to warrant the help, lest there be too much unjustified wishful thinking which comes within the purview of free will.
Enough of the preaching.
Getting back to the movies, I did not particularly think Revenant was exceptional. But Leo Dicaprio certainly deserves an award after all of the many interesting characters he has portrayed. The other movies, excluding the Big Short, you can trash, especially Carol. The biggest disappointment is Risen, BECAUSE THE SOUND TRACK IS SO BAD AS USUAL. WHEN ARE THEY EVER GOING TO GIVE AN AWARD FOR ENABLING THE VOICE AUDIO AS OPPOSED TO "CRASH-BANG" and 'MUMBLE, MUMBLE, MUMBLE"?

They are people who would have you believe they are "good" while they exaggerate the facts, & distort the truth. They judge others not on the basis of the wrongs they actually do, but upon the basis of being contrary to their own opinion. That is what a truly horrible person is, & they have been sitting in the Presidency, in the Court, & in the Congress for years now. Satan has many faces.

With regard to the FBI - APPLE IPHONE controversy, the question is "JUST EXACTLY WHAT IS IT THAT YOU ARE SO ASHAMED OF THAT YOU WOULD RATHER HIDE THE TRUTH THAN PROMOTE YOUR NEIGHBOR'S SECURITY?".

That is not the same as advertising your sexual preferences to the world or being in other people's face with your culture, which is offensive.

So Amnesty International, why don't you just shut your face unless you can do something other than to decry those countries who are unable to support the inflow of a people who are ultimately responsible for their own condition. Yes, they have a right to ask for refuge. That does not mean they have a right to demand or insist upon it. After all, love knows no greater than He who lays down his life for His friends, and a lot of these people insisting upon entry are not friends.

What does it mean to "ASSUME"?
There is an old saying- "When you assume something, you make an "ASS OUT OF YOU AND AN ASS OUT OF ME".
But The Supreme Court has been doing a lot of assuming since John Marshall. They may claim there to be "implied" powers, but they are simply ASSUMING power for themselves. They may point to precedence, but to keep making the same incorrect assumptions over and over again also makes asses out of the children of the land who don't know what the court is really doing. Besides, if it is "precedence" that you rely upon, I'll point you in the direction of a much older and better established precedence, ie, Jesus Christ.
PER THE CONSTITUTION ARTICLE III, THERE IS ONLY ONE (1) LAW MAKING BODY WITH RESPECT TO THE FEDERAL LAW OF THE LAND AND THAT IS THE CONGRESS. NOT THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENCY, NOT THE SUPREME COURT, AND CERTAINLY NOT A CONSPIRACY OF THE PRESIDENT WITH THE SUPREME COURT.
That men of differing opinions can gather peacefully together in a body such as Congress to form just laws is to be respected and not spat upon by a few power mongering individuals seeking their own way or yielding to special interests that are contrary to decent human behavior.
With respect to FREEDOM OF THEISTIC RELIGION, let us be sure we do not confuse "religion" with an ideology claiming to be a religion, but that seeks to enslave the human soul through the worship of false deities, ie, Allah. The biggest bigot of all is Islam which rejects Jesus Christ as being God. Are we to allow the worship of Satan, evil and other false gods?
With respect to EQUALITY, nobody ever said that all people have an equal right in the possession of God given attributes or in the participation of all human activity. Nobody ever said you have an equal right to venture into the girls bathroom when you are a boy or to venture into a country where you are not a citizen. What is clear is that all people are entitled to be treated with equal respect and decency as long as they themselves afford the same consideration to others. And what is clear is that all people are entitled to just recompense when their God given attributes are unjustly taken from them against their will, such God given attributes including one's property, home, belongings, family and/or native homeland .

The reason the Supreme Court has been allowed to run away with our democratic republic is because some cllaiming to be historians put on their Great Karnac Turbine & claim that the founders had "IMPLIED" that the court should have the power of judicial review, but just forgot to include it in the words of the Constitution. And of course, the court continues to imply things that were never written. These same diviners of the founder's political will also contend that Jesus Christ was and is not relevant in our society. Maybe they could do a little water-witching or Harry Potter for us as well. Newt Gingrich is a REAL HISTORIAN & a PROFESSOR OF REAL HISTORY who puts to rest the INCREDIBLE ARROGANCE OF THE COURT THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE JOHN MARSHALL. THE COURT HAS ABSOLUTELY NO AUTHORITY, NEITHER WRITTEN NOR VERBAL, TO CONDUCT ITSELF IN THE MANNER IN WHICH IT HAS BEEN DOING IN RECENT DECADES. IT HAS IN FACT HI-JACKED WHAT ONCE WAS A DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC.
ARTICLE 3 OF THE CONSTITUTION CLEARLY STATES THAT THE SUPREME COURT WILL CONDUCT ITSELF IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REGULATIONS OF CONGRESS. WHERE THAT DOES NOT PREVENT THE SUPREME COURT FROM REVIEWING THE ACTS OF CONGRESS, THEY MOST CERTAINLY DO NOT HAVE THE POWER TO OVERRULE CONGRESS AS THEY HAVE BEEN DOING HERE RECENTLY. IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH AN ACT OF CONGRESS, IT SHOULD BE SENT BACK TO CONGRESS WITH SPECIFIC OBJECTIONS FOR EITHER CONFIRMATION OR CORRECTION. IT IS NOT UP TO THE SUPREME COURT TO DICTATE THE LAW OF THE LAND.

Jeb Bush says he does not like Trump "attacking" his family., even though he was the first to attack Trump. The fact of the matter is that the beginning of the end of the Republican establishment came in 2006 when GWB called Jim Gilchrist's MINUTE MEN a bunch of "LAWLESS VIGILANTES" . So don't go running around crying "He hiit me" when you were the first to hit, you hypocrites. You want to support illegal immigration, then go join the Democrats.

Ben Carson is a GREAT AMERICAN! I favor Trump, BUT I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH CARSON'S SKIN COLOR. I WOULD NOT MIND IF HE WERE PRESIDENT. IT IS HIS CHARACTER AND MENTALITY THAT I LOVE. But I am not going to kiss him, because "love" means admiration and respect , not physical entanglement, something Ben and I agree upon..

Do we have a bigger problem than what appears in The SOUTH CHINA SEA? China says they are reacting to what they call a military build-up on the part of the US. BUT A GOOD REASON FOR THAT BUILD-UP HAS TAKEN THE FORM OF MILITARY EXERCISES IN REACTION TO THE AGGRESSIVENESS OF NORTH KOREA'S KYM JONG IL (or whatever his name is). So, is China saying it supports the aggressiveness of N. Korea?
If so, then "Houston we've got a problem". Interestingly enough though, our old enemy Vietnam is also outraged by China's encroachments.

WHAT WAS JOHN MARSHALL SMOKING IN MARBURY V. MADISON?
His argument was that a part of the Judiciary Act Of 1789 conflicted with the Constitution Article 3 Section 2.
Well here is what is presumed to be the actual original wording of the two documents.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONSTITUTION ARTICLE 3 SECTION 2 PARAGRAPH 2 states:
In all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, and those in which a state shall be party, the Supreme Court shall have original jurisdiction. In all the other cases before mentioned, the Supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction, both as to law and fact, with such exceptions, and under such regulations as the Congress shall make.
JUDICIARY ACT OF 1789 SECTION 13 states:
The Supreme Court shall also have appellate jurisdiction from the circuit courts and courts of the several states, in the cases herein after specially provided for; and shall have power to issue writs of prohibition to the district courts, when proceeding as courts of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction, and writs of mandamus, in cases warranted by the principles and usages of law, to any courts appointed, or persons holding office, under the authority of the United States.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The problem herein is a case of replacing clear "and-ing" with nebulous "or-ing".
John Marshall said he did not have the authority to rule on the matter of issuing an order to James Madison (a public officer), directing him to send out the appointments granted by John Adams just before leaving the Office of the President, BECAUSE OF AN ALLEGED CONFLICT BETWEEN THE CONSTITUTION AND THE JUDICIARY ACT OF 1789 REGARDING WHAT MARSHALL CONSIDERED TO BE MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE SPECIFICATIONS FOR ORIGINAL JURISDICTION AND APPELLATE JURISDICTION.
THE JUDICIARY ACT OF 1789 WAS AN ACT PASSED BY CONGRESS THAT APPEARS TO BE AN ADDENDUM WHEREBY THE LOWER COURTS ARE ESTABLISHED. IT ALSO STATES THAT THE SUPREME COURT (WHEN ACTING AS AN APPELLATE COURT) CAN ISSUE "WRITS OF MANDAMUS" TO PERSONS HOLDING OFFICE, SOMETHING TO WHICH MARSHALL OBJECTED. SO JUST EXACTLY HOW DOES THIS IN ANY WAY CONFLICT WITH WHAT THE CONSTITUTION SAYS. THIS APPEARS TO SIMPLY RESTATE WHAT THE CONSTITUTION HAD ALREADY GRANTED BUT WITH THE ADDED PROVISION THAT THE APPELLATE COURT CAN ISSUE WRITS OF MANDAMUS, SOMETHING THAT WOULD ALREADY BE EXPECTED OF A COURT, ESPECIALLY IF IT IS THE HIGHEST COURT IN THE LAND.
AT THIS POINT WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT AN APPELLATE COURT, BY VIRTUE OF ITS RELATION TO A LOWER COURT OF ORIGINAL JURISDICTION, IS A MORE POWERFUL COURT THAN A COURT OF ORIGINAL JURISDICTION. THE CONSTITUTION SPECIFIES THAT THE SUPREME COURT, IN ADDITION TO SERVING AS A LOWER COURT OF ORIGINAL JURISDICTION IN SPECIFIC CASES INVOLVING A PUBLIC SERVANT, WILL ALSO BE AN APPELLATE COURT SUBJECT TO WHATEVER REGULATIONS CONGRESS SHALL MAKE. IT WOULD STAND TO REASON THAT IF CONGRESS HAS THE POWERS TO DICTATE THE REGULATIONS OF A MORE POWERFUL APPELLATE COURT, THEN IT WOULD CERTAINLY HAVE THE POWERS TO DICTATE THE REGULATIONS OF ANY LESS POWERFUL LOWER COURT(S) OF ORIGINAL JURISDICTION. IT WOULD ALSO STAND TO REASON THAT IF THE COURT WERE AN APPELLATE COURT AND SERVING AS A LOWER COURT, THEN IT SHOULD BE ABLE TO ISSUE ORDERS TO ITSELF. SO IT WOULD MAKE NO DIFFERENCE WHETHER THE HIGHEST COURT WAS SERVING AS AN APPELLATE COURT OR AS A COURT OF ORIGINAL JURISDICTION WITH RESPECT TO ISSUING A WRIT OF MANDAMUS. CERTAINLY A LOWER COURT SHOULD NOT HAVE MORE POWER THAN A HIGHER COURT. AND IF A HIGHER COURT IS SERVING AS A LOWER COURT, THEN IT SHOULD STILL BE ABLE TO INVOKE THE POWERS OF THE HIGHER COURT FOR THE SAKE OF CONSISTENCY.
But good old John decided to say "original OR "appellate" rather than "original AND appellate" jurisdiction and parse out the powers of the court between what a lower court could do as opposed to what a higher court could do with respect to issuing a writ of mandamus, thereby making them mutually exclusive & confusing the matter. Marshall chose to contend that because Marbury v. Madison was a case of a lower court having "original" jurisdiction, & not a case of higher appellate jurisdiction, then he did not have the authority to issue a writ of mandamus, ie, the court order sought by Mr Marbury, as he would have if serving as an appellate court.
Okay, so Mr Marshall did not want to do his job, so what's new? But he still wanted the power and the glory. So he went on to argue that Congress did not have the power to grant power to the Supreme Court in terms of issuing a writ of mandamus, because it was not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution. Yet in the same breath he went on to claim that he had the power of judicial review which is also not mentioned in the Constitution. All rather arbitrary smoke and mirrors.
THE CONSTITUTION CLEARLY SAYS THE CONGRESS HAS THE RIGHT TO ISSUE REGULATIONS REGARDING THE SUPREME COURT. SO CLEARLY MARSHALL VIOLATED THE CONSTITUTION ITSELF, CLAIMING HE ALONE HAD THE RIGHT TO SIT ON HIS BEHIND, IGNORE CONGRESS AND TELL CONGRESS WHAT LAWS THEY CAN PASS & WHAT LAWS THEY CANNOT PASS WHEN IN HIS OPINION THEY ARE "UNCONSTITUTIONAL", THEREBY USURPING HIS POSITION AND DECLARING POWERS IN EXCESS OF CONGRESS NOT GRANTED IN THE CONSTITUTION. IT IS ABSOLUTE NON-SENSE TO SAY ON THE ONE HAND YOU CANNOT PERFORM SUCH A TRIVIAL TASK AS ISSUING A WRITTEN ORDER , YET ON THE OTHER HAND SAY "OH BY THE WAY, I HAVE THE POWER TO TELL YOU WHAT IS CONSTITUTIONAL AND WHAT IS NOT CONSTITUTIONAL". DO YOU EVEN SEE THE WORDS "JUDICIAL REVIEW" IN EITHER DOCUMENT?
HELLO JUDICIAL REVIEW. GOODBYE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC.
We are not dealing with reason here. We are dealing politics and power mongering, the kind that seeks to enhance itself and dictate to others. It has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH REAL JUSTICE.
Where logic says that the Congress may not be infallible, thereby necessitating a review, logic also says that for one small body of reviewers to dictate its will to the majority is absolute nonsense, and that any alleged required corrections be sent back to the Congress for review and confirmation and/or correction. IT IS NOT UP TO THE COURT TO DICTATE WHAT THE LAW OF LAND SHOULD BE. RATHER TH LAW OF THE LAND SHOULD BE BY MUTUAL CONSENT.

Worried about a split decision in the Supreme Court? WHY? If you have an even split then just roll with the lower court. Obama is pushing to pack the court which is more liberal than conservative, given Judge Kennedy is not a conservative. The only real conservatives are Thomas and Aliotta with Roberts being on the fence.
What we have here is almost exactly the same problem that existed when John Adams appointed Sec of State John Marshall to the court. And if you know your history, Marbury vs Madison resulted in John Marshall's UNCONSTITUTIONAL CLAIM TO HAVE THE POWER OF JUDICIAL REVIEW. That was the beginning of the downfall of DEMOCRACY & OUR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC which we falsely claim to have today. Oh yes, you can vote on putting a few selected people into office if their lucky enough to get that far. But try to vote on any real issues impacting you and forget it... The court will step in and impose their own bias and overrule you.

SPACE, TIME, JESUS CHRIST WHO IS GOD & POLI-TRICKS.
I asked myself "Is there a Pythagoras' Theorem: for the 4-dimensions of SPACE-TIME". And this is what I found.
==================================================
The modern approach to relativity
Although the special theory of relativity was first proposed by Einstein in 1905, the modern approach to the theory depends upon the concept of a four-dimensional universe, that was first proposed by Hermann Minkowski in 1908.
Minkowski's contribution appears complicated but is simply an extension of Pythagoras' Theorem:
In 2 dimensions: h^2 = x^2 + y^2
In 3 dimensions: h^2 = x^2 + y^2 + z^2
in 4 dimensions: s^2 = x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + kt^2
(where k = -c^2)
The modern approach uses the concept of invariance to explore the types of coordinate systems that are required to provide a full physical description of the location and extent of things. The modern theory of special relativity begins with the concept of "length". In everyday experience, it seems that the length of objects remains the same no matter how they are rotated or moved from place to place. We think that the simple length of a thing is "invariant". However, as is shown in the illustrations below, what we are actually suggesting is that length seems to be invariant in a three-dimensional coordinate system.
==================================================
We have great difficulty in visually representing the 4 dimensions of space-time. Perhaps that 4th orthogonal axis is in increments of [-1]**1/2, ie, imaginary numbers.
What's interesting is that both Math and Religion rely upon CONSISTENCY WITH THE PAST.
Einstein's equation E = MC** is consistent with Newton's E = 1/2MV**, M = mass & C or V = velocity
In religion, INCONSISTENCY = HYPOCRISY.
The only difference between religion and science may simply be the time frame in which observations and comparisons can be made. And bearing in mind Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, observations in themselves can change the results.
In both religion and science, unlike politics, the requirement for CONSISTENCY does not mean all things have the alleged right to be equal. What in the hell is a "RIGHT" anyway? It is the arbitrary presumption that one living thing deserves more in relation to another living thing. And just WHO in the hell decides who else is "DESERVING OF WHAT"? You show me a plot of the alleged right of one thing verses the alleged right of another, and I will show you instances of UNFAIRNESS & UNRIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH ARE INVARIABLY INTRODUCED BY THE MIND OF MAN. The only real right there should be is for recompensation for the loss of a belonging unfairly taken by another, where human beings can be considered as belonging to, but not being the property of, another
They may call it POLITICAL "SCIENCE", BUT SCIENCE IT AIN'T! IT IS POLI-TRICKS AS USUAL WITH THOSE IN HIGH PLACES DICTATING THEIR DOGMA TO THE MAJORITY.

The busy-bodies in government and the media condemn Egypt's Si Si for not being "humanitarian". Quite frankly, the world would be better off if they minded their own business and worried about their own backyard. What threat does SiSi pose to the United States or the rest of the world? What threat does Assad pose to other countries? ABSOLUTELY NONE.
The agitators of world-wide tension are the busy-bodies of the world. The aggressor in the Ukraine is the West, not the East. All attacks are being waged in the East against the Russian culture. What happened to diversity there? It fell to greedy Westerners.
IF IT TAKES A DICTATOR TO PUT DOWN A VIOLENT CULT LIKE RADICAL ISLAM, THEN SO BE IT. AND IF IT TAKES BORDERS WITH WALLS TO PROTECT A NATION AGAINST PEACEFUL OR VIOLENT INVASION, THEN SO BE IT. IF A COUNTRY NEEDS TO BE SPLIT IN TWO DUE TO DIVERGENT CULTURES, THEN SO BE IT.
Where there is commonality, let there be unity. Where there is divergence, let there be separation. But a completely homogenized world is absolute non-sense leading to a global cesspool without identity.

What is so surprising about gravitational waves? Varying force fields should be observable as waves.
And why shouldn't time and distance vary to keep the speed of light a constant? The faster you go, the slower your clock runs.
Archaic man has existed for 2 millions years...... ACCORDING TO OUR CLOCK. BUT THAT IS NOT GOD'S CLOCK.
What is surprising is the conclusion that space-time is alterable
by gravity. What is surprising is the idea of multiple dimensions.
What is surprising is how fused together are the ideas of a symmetrical universe as opposed to a multiverse. We appear to be the product of hybridization.
Jesus said, "In My House are many mansions". Apparently He is not surprised. So although I listen to the sciences, Jesus Christ who is God will always have my ear. It is my job to try to discern His intent, and hopefully correctly so. To do any less is to be lazy. Yet there are many scientists who say "There is no God". Do we take the lazy road and judge God (His existence or non-existence) based upon what happens to us? Or do we work to understand who or what is responsible for our misery and try to see to it that deserving others are given the chance to avoid it.? That after-all is the message of Jesus Christ.
And why shouldn't time and distance vary to keep the speed of light a constant? The faster you go, the slower your clock runs.
Archaic man has existed for 2 millions years...... ACCORDING TO OUR CLOCK. BUT THAT IS NOT GOD'S CLOCK.
What is surprising is the conclusion that space-time is alterable
by gravity. What is surprising is the idea of multiple dimensions.

Who is Who in Kurdish groups. The PKK is identified as being a left wing party following Marxist ideology. The PYD supports democratic ideology and was responsible for forming the YPG which is the People"s Defense Unit. The Peshmerga is another military unit which also favors the PYD. NO MATTER WHAT THE IDEOLOGY, TURKEY IS OPPOSED TO ALL KURDS (WHO ARE THE ONLY FORCE FIGHTING ISIS IN SYRIA) AND IS PERSECUTING ALL OF THEM.

The CREW O F THE BOUNTY: A LESSON IN HOW IMMORALITY TURNED PARADISE INTO HELL vs. CAPT BLIGH'S DISCIPLINE FOR THE COMMON GOOD.
If you do not know the story, then you should. Many of the crew of HMS BOUNTY mutinied under Fletcher Christian and put Capt Bligh with his supporters in a small long boat without much food and water. The two separated near Tahiti in the middle of nowhere thousands of miles from civilization.
The mutineers under Fletcher Christian had every thing going for them: the big tall ship, plenty of provisions, and finally discovering an uncharted island where they settled. But it was not long before the undisciplined and immoral mutineers wound up murdering each other in their wayward life-style.
On the other hand, Bligh with his remaining crew had everything going against them. Their chances of survival were extremely thin. But survive they did, crossing thousands of miles across an unforgiving Pacific Ocean to finally reach safety.
Today, our country is a ship-of-state having everything going for it. Yet we have another Fletcher Christian at the helm. Living under a Capt Bligh may be a hard bite to swallow, but truth be known, he is what is best for the common good and survival.
Only arrogant, stupid, and self-serving people choose to toss aside the hard learned life's lessons of others. And today we have a lot of arrogant, stupid and self-serving people in this country demanding equality in all things whether or not they actually deserve it. I've got news for them. They don't know what suffering really is. They have forgot how to be thankful for what they do have and make do with what they've got.

A STRANGE RANDOM COINCIDENT OR A PURPOSEFUL MESSAGE?
I am not one who believes in hocus pocus. I like seeing evidence to explain things and usually suspect when others make claims of unordinary events. But this one has caught my attention, because I was part of it.
The other day, I took my usual bike ride and walk to the beach. On the way back as I was crossing on my bike in the cross walk and with the light properly indicating a walk sign, a white woman with her child in the car and making a left hand turn decided she would turn missing me by 5 feet. Being angry, I issued some profanity at her and flipped her off.
Today, I again took my bike ride and walk along the beach.. But this time was different. Along my beach walk I came across a crucifix about 2 feet by 1 foot and made of wood possibly by a mariner, because it obviously came from the ocean. I picked it up, took it back to my bike, put it on the rack of my bike, and offered a silent prayer for who ever had delivered it. Then I got on my bike to return to the same cross-walk where I was nearly run over the day before. And guess what. Another woman, only this time brown in skin color, again began to make her left hand turn, and after pointing at her, she stopped. It gives me pause to think. Was it just a coincidence or was there a purposeful message behind the event?
You are forced into this world and then forced out of it whether you like it or not. And that same force may induce you to have children of your own. The question being, is that force nothing more than randomness or is there a greater purpose?
If it is nothing but randomness, then what difference does it make whether people steal from each other and kill each other, because there is absolutely no ultimate purpose to life at all. You might say that "Well, people are better off if they build together". But what difference does that really make if they are all going to die anyway. Others argue the purpose is propagation of the species. That may be an explanation for physical interaction, but it is not a reason which must be justified by a deliberate purpose, and deliberate purpose requires a WHO. What difference does propagation of the species matter to the individual? Why must the individual even die? None of these answers explain the larger picture of why we are even here at all, ie, for what purpose .
Our innate intelligence tell us that there must be a greater purpose to life than simply living here and then passing. This is where the after-life comes in, because it means we can progress onward, and that life does have a purpose. The question then becomes, is there evidence of an after-life? The answer is "yes", no one else other than Jesus Christ to whom there were hundreds of witnesses, making it unlikely to be a made-up story. If you want to dispute that, then that is your right, but you are living a meaningless life that has no purpose, other than to leave an erasable mark upon the world.
So far, our answer appears to be black and white, ie, randomness verses purpose not in vain. But there is a 3rd possibility, and it is called "Chaos". Chaos is constrained randomness. The question then becomes "WHAT" or better yet "WHO" is doing the constraining and why? When it comes to constraining human behavior, certainly there may be physical causes for such constraint. But when it comes to constraining the human behavior arising from the psyche of the human being, that must come from a WHO, not a what. And at that point we are forced to examine the purpose of the WHO, and whether or not it makes life meaningful for the human condition or any living condition as far as that matters.
Post Log:
In writing this, I realized that far too often we confuse the question "WHY" with the question "HOW".
Science answers the question "HOW do things happen", and give "explanations" based upon objective observations. Their explanations convey no "reason" or "purpose", only that they do happen in predictable ways.
Religion answers the question "WHY do things happen", and give
"reasons" based upon unpredictable subjective "purpose(s)" that require the presence of a WHO.
So when I ask "WHY do things happen/", I am really asking "WHO is behind it and for what purpose?". To ask "WHY am I even here? WHY were my parents even here?" implies there being a WHO. The ultimate answer is the "Great I AM", ie, GOD who is JESUS CHRIST and who tells us what is best for the common good, including GOD Himself.

They argue "That's not who we are". Well just who in the hell are you? You have obviously disconnected with your forefathers who saved your behind from tyranny.

But we know, you think you can win the hearts and minds of the world , because you are just so perfect. BALLONEY! I got a clue for you... ISIS has no heart or mind.

Being "saddled" with prayer does not mean you go out in public and make a display of it, as does Islam. But professing the name of Jesus Christ Who is God does require publicity and without the necessity of making man's laws either for or against Jesus Christ, as do atheists and Sharia Law.

The message of "The Revenant", ie, return from death:
"Revenge" has a selfish connotation to it. "Justice" is for the greater common good and does allow for execution. When you can't discern between just causes and selfishness (that includes taking what does not belong to you, imposing selfishness upon others or facilitating selfishness) , then maybe you have your own selfishness problem.
We know what the common good is and exactly WHO gave it to us, because Jesus Christ Who is God told us a long time ago, and it is written in the Bible which Islamics and atheists would have us burn. We are also suppose to have a democratic society in which the common good is identified through the vote of the people. But today that is not happening.
A 6 million dollar law suit for not being able to bring your same-sex partner to a prom is neither justice nor God's revenge.... it is human revenge. The overturn of a lawfully voted upon proposition to exclude same sex marriage is neither justice nor God's revenge... it is human revenge. There is no justice in our courts today. There is no presence of God in our courts today. There is only a legal system based upon human revenge that dolls out rewards for winning in legal competition. The judges may as well be judging a beauty contest or a race, neither of which have anything to do with the common good. So at this point, as far as judges are concerned, it is "goodbye" Jesus and "goodbye" democracy.
These judges claim to be "educated" in places like Harvard Law School. Harvard was originally a Christian theistic institution that knew WHO was its authority, as were many other colleges. Every body knows that in school there are prerequisite classes required before you advance to a higher level class. But somewhere along the line there has become a disconnection between those prerequisite classes and the higher level classes. For some lazy reason, what were the prerequisites for higher learning in the past have been discarded and thrown in the trash to be burned. When you take what God, in the form of Jesus Christ, gave us to be the common good for all and you discard it, you abuse the ultimate authority (authorship) from God Himself and bestow it upon your own head. How selfish, how unjust, how unrighteous, how hypocritical, how contrary to the common good is that?
We just pray that Jesus will return and doll out His revenge upon these judges for their ignoring the common good as He laid it out 2000 years ago. He is our Revenant.

But an even greater question is, IN WHICH GOD DO THEY BELIEVE, JESUS CHRIST WHO IS GOD or ALLAH WHO IS NOT, BECAUSE THE TWO ARE NOT THE SAME? Mohamed's Allah is a complete rejection of Jesus Christ and a dreamed up substitute. This is why they ban Bibles in Islamic countries. So just exactly who are the real bigots?
Islam is an ideology not a religion which is no better than being atheistic. A "Martyr" is one who suffers and dies for the common good of humanity as did Jesus Christ, not some Islamic idiot wearing a bomb vest or another atheistic idiot declaring his sexual rights. Where was Mohamed ever cruelly crucified for his advocacy of world peace.
We have the perfect model for what constitutes the "common good of humanity", and His name is Jesus Christ who is God. If we love Him, then we will obey Him. Otherwise, we are nothing but hypocrites in the eyes of God.

Since the age of 5, everybody knows the words "anti-social behavior". But it does not mean the same to all, with a million different takes on it. So let's be clear on what it means to Christians.
IMMORAL BEHAVIOR = ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOR
And "immoral behavior" includes:
1. Indecent behavior
2. In appropriate sexual behavior and homosexuality.
(Same sex marriage)
3. Rape and/or child molestation
4. Thievery
5. Sneaking into another person's house or country.
(Illegal migrants)
6. Extortion
7. Looting
8. Burning buildings
9. Deliberate Murder of innocent people
10. Beheading
(ISIS)
11. Slandering
(Liberal mentalities)
12. Drug/human trafifcking
just to name a few.
Now if you are not a Christian, then you do not love and obey Jesus and you can come up with your own list

More Supreme Court Bull Shit. This guy stabbed and cut up his female manager. What is more cruel and unusual than that? Your life is now in the hands of a few stupid ass judges appointed by Obama who think they have the right of judicial review which was never included in the Constitution, ie, an unconstitutional body declaring what the majority votes upon and approves to be unconstitutional and appearing more and more like a religious cult. The question is "WHOSE CONSTITUTION"? Their argument is they have the right to counter "mob rule". Since when is a democratic process with a legitimate vote "mob rule"? . They also argue that prison time is a more just penalty and cheaper. Right, that's why El Chapo, David Sweat, Richard Matt loved prison as opposed to the alternative. And cheaper for who, our kids who are going to have to pay for the care and feeding of such scum or let them out entirely. Yep, the lives of innocent victims, citizens and their children certainly are too expensive in comparison. Better they die off before the scum watching tv in prison. The Sharon Tate family has long since passed away while Charlie celebrates in his cell. Too bad these judges can't experience the same fate.
The court has become nothing more than an arrogant display of self-righteous hypocrisy claiming to be in support of democracy, while seeking power to impose their own distorted views over the majority.They have no concept of justice. The fact is Pontius Pilate is in the White House and Caiaphas is in the Supreme Court. History always repeats itself.

Economists are boasting of $500 savings per year in gas prices as if that is really something great for the economy. There are approx 350 million people in the US. $500 x 350 million = $175 billion. But that number should be divided by the average household size of 4 people. Therefore, the alleged boost to the economy is $44 billion. In todays macro economy is that really such a big number to boast about?

And while he is at it, maybe he should take away freedom of the press (Daily Beast) so we don't have to listen to jerks like you. But don't stop there. Also take away freedom of religion, freedom to disassociate, freedom of speech, etc. And impose Sharia Law with capital punishment for the crime of blasphemy and speaking against the government, but do spare well proven murderers of innocent people because we don't want to be cruel and unusual. Oh, and let's ban the Bible, tear down crucifixes, crosses of soldiers graves, tablets with the 10 commandments and other such religious symbols of Jesus Christ that offend muslims and atheists. And while we are at it, let's put up the mexican flag over the American flag up-side-down and parade in the streets. Oh and lets flaunt our homosexuality in the faces of all with pride and dignity. After all, we really don't want to offend any body do we.
I am just so sure that the founder's of our country had all of this in mind when they wrote the Constitution. (Well, didn't they?)

Having just seen Front Line's presentation of how Obama has treated (actually mistreated) Israel, I come to the following conclusion.
Israel gives us the crystal ball to peer into the future of the things in store for us. How do you look at Israel and the past 50 years and not conclude that the perpetrators of violence are the Palestinians and the muslim ideology? How do you tell a country that has been under continuous assault to forgive and forget, and, by the way, ceed back to the perpetrators of war those lands which were rightfully Jewish in the first place and won back in a war not started by Jews? Are you so callous in your search for peace that you promote more conflict?
There is no doubt about it. Obama et al is the Arthur Neville Chamberlain ( the Colonel Bogey) of the 21st century. For the first time in history, the extreme violence of terrible religious war will pay a visit upon US soil. And it will be far worse than the Civil War with Obama being its author. I hope I am wrong.
Thank you Mr Obama for pointing out our religious differences and bringing those together to screw up our country entirely. I would not trust one thing you do or say. I now understand why you probably flunked your chemistry class. You have created a Frankenstein of humanity. Walls and borders do have a legitimate purpose. There is a reason for separation of church and state. Politics and religion do not mix. But you have decided to disregard all of that, violate every common sense principle and force the bad bloods of centuries together. It is too bad you did not blow yourself up in the process of mixing dangerous chemicals back when you were smoking marijuana. I wish you had never been here.

Jesus did not nullify the OT, but modified some parts of it and kept others.
Of course the OT enumerates hundreds of old laws that are now seen as impractical as the world shrinks. But Jesus did warn us not to throw out the old entirely.
Leviticus 19:17-18
"Do not hate your brother. Rebuke anyone who sins. Do not let him get away with it., or you will be equally guilty. Do not seek vengeance. Do not bear a grudge. Love your neighbor as yourself."
Definition of "REBUKE". To criticize. To reprimand. To check. To repress.
Leviticus 18:22
"Homosexuality is absolutely forbidden"
Deuteronomy 13:12
"If you ever hear it said .... that a city worship foreign gods, ... and that such a thing is happening among you... then you must without fail declare war upon that city and utterly destroy all of its inhabitants."
Allah is not Jesus Christ who is God. Allah is a foreign god.

Our government has done next to nothing to prevent banks from engaging in risky lending and investing. And nothing has been done to prevent "too big too fail". One would think that after the Savings and Loan crisis of the 1980s followed by the unnecessary Securitization crisis 0f 2009, someone would get a little smarter. But oh no, it's just business as usual with diversive and divisive policies of more important matters like political correctness, alleged human rights that go beyond justifiable reason, homosexuality, women's health programs, alleged racism, the Ukraine, etc to distract from the shadow banking system.

IMPULSIVE BEHAVIOR.
Last night Dateline aired a case where a man was caught in a cat and mouse game with police over his commission of the rape/murder of a young girl and the attempted rape/murder of another woman. THE ODD THING ABOUT THE CASE WAS THAT THE MAN WAS SEEN BY OTHERS AS BEING A NICE GUY WITH A GIRL FRIEND AND GENUINELY DID NOT WANT TO BELIEVE HIMSELF TO BE THIS HORRIBLE PERSON. This leads us to question his psyche. It would seem that the man was responding to his "impulses" which come and go and which he really did not want to do.
How many times do we hear "The devil made me do it". In fact, Jesus Christ was confronted by the devil who bid Him to do any number of stupid acts that He did not want to commit. These are cases of momentary "impulsive behavior" as opposed to cases of long term "compulsive behavior". It might even be said that compulsive behavior is used to try to correct impulsive behavior. Discipline is the tool we use to curb our wreckless and immoral impulses. It is our necessary braking system that enables us to be in control of our beings. And in some cases discipline can even require anti-social behavior in pursuit of a greater good.
No matter, the question then becomes "Is impulsive behavior correctable?"
And if so, then how should justice deal with it? There is a big difference between crimes done deliberately and crimes done when they are committed by people not in control of their own faculties. The problem is the free-loaders who act deliberately and then claim to be "not guilty" by reason of insanity. And our so-called "justice system", which is not a justice system but a legal system, has exploited this fog to the maximum to enhance the coffers of its lawyers and judges.
In deed, our whole government system has become unable to discern the difference between the real bad guys and those who are legit, let alone even be willing to do the right thing. And this opens up a whole can of political worms, wherein the only solution for society is capital punishment and/or quarantine, only to be countered by those who would simply choose to bury their head in the sand, do nothing and forgive which the current system has been doing for decades.
There is only one way to correct a computer that has become infected with a glitch, and that is to restore it to its original state. So it must be with society if it is to continue to function correctly. But perhaps some day our genetic scientists will be able to eliminate those nasty "impulse genes" and leave us with a clearer picture of deliberate behavior vs impulsive behavior.

ESPN - THE MEAN SPIRITED GRINCH WHO STOLE THE ROSE BOWL. What a rip off. You used to be able to enjoy the holidays watching the Rose Bowl game for free on broadcast TV. Now, if you do not pay for it either through your network provider or by subscribing for a fee to some streaming outfit, the only thing you can get is a bunch of text describing the game. THAT IS JUST SO EXCITING--- NOT. You would think that the holiday spirit would find its way into the heart of ESPN to permit at least one free viewing of a game. But not so. Monopolies at their finest. GOOD BYE ROSE BOWL. I'm going to the beach which is still free as long as you don't park there.

Recently I saw a documentary on the human brain wherein studies are being conducted to determine whether or not there is such a thing as "FREE WILL". Needless to say, if free will does not exist, then there is no such thing as discipline or responsibility, which means the human being is absolved of all self accountability. So we might as well throw out all laws and law making functions of human society since we are driven by forces not of our own making.

How do you not win a war without having collateral damage? You can ask residents to leave, but then the enemy just herds them out of town and uses them as shields. The perfect weapon would be a dna discriminator to selectively kill only the enemy, just like fighting cancer. But at this point, that is sci-fi. So the only viable solution is a hand weapon guided by a human being with the correct ideology. That means boots on the ground and a citizenry equipped with the correct ideology and hand weaponry.

The Mind Of Our Country Must Be The State, But Its Heart Must Be Christianity. And the two must work together.
Christophobics and atheistic alleged humanitarians cannot go far enough in trying to push anti-American propaganda off on our countr'y's youth.
Separation of church and state is essential to the democratic law making functions of our government as long as the law making is within the purview of decent human behavior. It assures that no one person claiming to have ties to God can override the democratic process.
The free expression of religious ideology and freedom of speech must be tolerated, without charges of discrimination, blasphemy, racism or hate speech, to the point of there being no actual violent commission of physical crimes against innocent people directly resulting from such speech. However, if such speech can be tied directly to the commission of an actual physical crime against innocent people, said crime being more than just the mere exclusion from reasonable participation within a body of people, then the speech might be considered as being part of the actual crime itself and prosecuted as such.
Nevertheless, the public education of children must not be allowed to be propaganda promoting foreign cultural ideologies that are contrary to the established state. The identity and makeup of those ideologies may be taught for historical teaching, but the actual promotion of those ideologies within the public education system must not be tolerated or allowed.
Private and home schooling of religious theology, ideology and its morality principles must not be infringed upon by the state as long as there is no imminent threat to the public at large. However, once that ideology is directly connected to actual physical crimes against innocent people, then there is just cause to take action against that ideology, including the complete exclusion of that ideology from participating in the body of people effected at large. This would include the Islamic ideology and portions of the alleged Christian ideology that allowed children to be molested and crosses to be burnt on people's front lawns.

"This is where the FN is punished for being a solitary force within a system that demands the ability to strike alliances with other parties.” In other words, the so-called democratic system demands that you compromise your values, EVEN IF IT MEANS TURNING YOUR HOMELAND OVER TO FOREIGNERS. That is not democracy. That is underhanded political prostitution and cowardice resulting in an unprincipled society that eventually runs amuck. It is an undisciplined Pinocchio system by which the officials of two parties in power can prevent opposition and continue to dictate to the majority. A "democracy" is a system run by the majority. When two parties conspire to keep other parties out, that is DISCRIMINATION OF THE WORST KIND.

Political prostitution and betrayal at its finest.
Obama's fears lead him to play a 2-faced game where he can have an escape should the electorate turn violently against him. Sleazy politicians always have a back door out of harms way leaving the troops behind to answer for their mistakes.There is a reason you want a home-grown leader.

The problem is the country and the military have changed.
1. Homosexuals are now allowed to consort openly.
2. Who wants to fight for a country that will not secure its borders and lets foreign nationals run rampant and turn our flag up-side-down.
3. There is no political will to win by whatever means necessary and actually occupy other countries that have been belligerent, aggressive and defeated. The mentality of the mouse that roared always loses. Persecution of military service members for trivial acts is more likely than winning a war.
4. The Colonel Bogeys abound.
So who can blame the youth. This country has changed its character to that which is barely worth defending. Exactly who are you defending besides your family? Exactly what ideology do you see as worth dying for? A secular government that has no real commitment to any set of principles or God other than to promote equality for all? Except for football and video games, this country has been demoralized. You don't have to be an old fart to see this.
We would be better off if we learned from General Patton who was asked, "Do you read your Bible, General?". His reply, "Every God Damned Day my friend". So let's make sure we do read our Bibles which are outlawed in other lands and becoming condemned in this country. And if someone tears up or pisses on the Quran, it is just a book written 600 years after Jesus Christ by one old bigoted fool that rejects your Bible and seeks power and dominion over your very soul.

Face it. The government has no secret weapon to identify radical foreign muslims who enter the country. Once again it boils down to restricting admission into the country to those who would steal or blow-up. This is not about persecuting those who are citizens. This is not about selfish hoarding. This is about protecting what you have earned and what you've already got, ie, a country. You would not have to infringe upon citizen's privacy if you had done your job of securing the borders in the first place. But as it now stands, thanks to Mr Bush and Mr Obama, we now do not even know who in the hell our neighbor is or what they intend. How have we come to have such lousy presidents and a judiciary that have betrayed its people to the nth degree in pursuit of political power and in the guise of compassion which is really extorted generosity.

NO OTHER PRESIDENT IN HISTORY HAS DONE MORE TO CREATE DIVISIVENESS AND EXACERBATE THE HATFIELD-McCOY MENTALITY IN THIS COUNTRY THAN THE EXTREME LEFT THAT REFUSES TO DO ITS JOB IN PROTECTING OUR BORDERS. NOBODY MADE OBAMA ALIENATE THE CHRISTIAN FAITH WHEN HE SAID WE ARE NO LONGER A CHRISTIAN NATION. BEFORE THAT, THERE WAS LITTLE THOUGHT GIVEN TO IDEOLOGICAL DIFFERENCES. SOME WILL COUNTER WITH ANOTHER LIE AND SAY THAT IS NOT WHAT HE SAID. NO MATTER, THAT IS WHAT HE IN EFFECT SAID. AND SINCE THAT TIME, I HAVE BEEN DRIVEN FURTHER TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS ONCE MY OWN LOOSE FAITH AND BECOME MORE SUPPORTIVE OF CHRISTIANITY THAN I ONCE WAS.
SO I HAVE BECOME A CHRISTIAN RADICAL (IN THE LIBERAL'S EYES) AND I THANK YOU MR OBAMA. AND THANK YOU TO THE HOMOSEXUAL IDEOLOGY AS WELL, BECAUSE I NOW KNOW THAT NEITHER OF YOU ARE FULL FLEDGED CHRISTIANS, BUT WOULD CLOAK YOURSELVES AS SUCH (OR AS "HUMANITARIANS") FOR POLITICAL GAIN. QUITE FRANKLY I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT YOU, YOUR IDEOLOGY OR YOUR POLICIES. I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT TELLING OTHERS HOW THEY SHOULD LIVE THEIR LIVES TO THE EXTENT THAT YOU DO. I DO GIVE A DAMN ABOUT MY HOMELAND AND COUNTRY WHICH YOU ARE DESTROYING. AND I DO GIVE A DAMN ABOUT WHAT MY CHILDREN ARE EXPOSED TO AND TAUGHT.
THROUGH THEIR POLICIES AND RHETORIC THE LIBERALS HAVE AND CONTINUE TO PROMOTE VIOLENCE AND THEN TURN AROUND TO ACCUSE THOSE WHO SEEK A SOLUTION AND WHO HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT . THEY SAY THEY ARE OPENED TO ANYONE'S PLANS, BUT AS SOON AS THOSE ARE MENTIONED, THEY THEN IMMEDIATELY REJECT AND CONDEMN THEM IN DEFENSE OF THEIR OWN. IT IS DEMAGOGUERY, BIGOTRY AND HYPOCRISY AT ITS FINEST. AND IT HAS BEEN SO SINCE THE DAY OBAMA TOOK OFFICE.
The only ones who are phobic and spreading fear is the White House. They exaggerate to nth degree. Who said anything about putting current American muslims in an internment camp. What has been said is to ban muslims from a foreign nation. But as usual, the liberals have to blow things all out of proportion at the calling of those who hold bizarre ideologies to the point of Christian immorality and/or violence.

More propaganda and insults from the White House. The article claims that Trump is trying to "capitalize on people's fears". The fact is Trump is not capitalizing on anything. He is losing money and putting up with character assassination for his homeland as every American should do. THE WORDS OF THE WHITE HOUSE REFLECT THEIR OWN MENTALITY WITH THEIR ONLY CONCERN BEING ABOUT ABOUT WINNING AND STAYING IN POWER. THIS IS NOT SOME DAMN GAME OF MONOPOLY WHICH THE WHITE HOUSE APPARENTLY THINKS WE ARE PLAYING. THIS IS ABOUT THE OUTRIGHT BETRAYAL AND GIVE AWAY OF OUR HOMELAND TO SOME DAMN FOREIGN IDEOLOGY. THE ONLY OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE IS COMING FROM THE WHITE HOUSE AND IT HAS GOT TO STOP.

JUST EXACTLY WHO ARE THE REAL ISLAMAPHOBES.
In dealing with the liberal left, you can't be understood no matter how hard you try. Even if you do not say you are fearful of further terrorism, then you are a "phobic" to be condemned. If you say you are angry over terrorism, then you are a "hate-mongering bigot" to be condemned. No matter what you say, anything contrary to their thinking is to be condemned. It is underhanded political chicanery, dishonesty, hypocrisy and discrimination in which there is no truth and that gives rise to feigned outrage. That is the essence of demagoguery. WELL YOU KNOW WHAT? WE ARE NEITHER AND THEY CAN JUST GO TO HELL. They are out for power. We are out for our country. And win or lose we will not change our position or prostitute our country anymore.
Who are the real Islamaphobes? The liberal left. Of what are they afraid? They do not want Sunni and Shiite muslims uniting together, all 1.6 billion of them. And so for the past 30 years they have had us engage in a political strategy of divide and conquer. They tell us they are going to win the hearts and minds of the muslims. Well, what the hell good is it if you win the hearts and minds of the enemy while you dump on the hearts and minds of your own countrymen? But that is exactly what has happened. We are tired of this gutless bullshit of lies and propaganda that has divided and prostituted the country out from underneath the citizens.
Look around the world. Have you seen any reduction in islamic attacks recently? No. they are getting worse and being allowed to infiltrate our country. Look at other countries. Britain and Europe have been shaking in their boots for fear of their muslim populations overthrowing their governments. So they engage in petty propaganda to ban Trump from ever visiting there. They would hang a candy thief and give freedom to a murderer. In the meantime the muslim population has been allowed to spread its sick, psychopathic ideology. Islamaphobes indeed, but not where they would have you believe.
With their fears exposed, the liberals then turn right around and call you "racists". Hell, they don't even know what a "racist" is. For clarification from the fog of their bullshit, a "racist" is one who judges people by the color of their skin, PERIOD. Any idiotic fool knows the difference between being born with attributes that cannot be changed and believing in an ideology that can be changed. Islam is an ideology. You might think it to be a religion, but it is not. It has the appearance of a religion, but it is not. It is an ideology. So "racism" has no part what so ever.
If they do not call you a "racist", then they call you a "hate mongering bigot". But studies of Islam will reveal it to be the outright rejection of Jesus Christ as God. Islam has created another God called Allah whose character is completely opposite that of Jesus Christ. The muslim hates Jesus Christ so much that islamic countries make it a capital crime to even possess a Bible. If that is not "hate", then just what the hell is?
Finally, let's look at the word "bigot". At its very root is the meaning of a hypocrite who uses dual standards. Any ideology that says "its okay for you to go out and put on a suicide vest while I sit back in the comfort of my home" is a bigoted and hypocritical dual standard. Any ideology that says "what is good for the goose is not good for the gander" is bigoted. Any ideology that claims to be Christian while committing acts that were clearly defined by Jesus to be immoral is bigoted. And ideology that claims to be democratic and then overturns the will of the people is bigoted. Yes, the world is full of bigots, the worst of them telling us that we are islamphobic, bigoted, racists, hate-mongers, not because they threaten the body, but because they poison the very soul.
So go to hell you islamphobic, bigoted, hate-mongering liberals, because I am not buying your unjust lying bullshit anymore.

POLITICAL IDEOLOGIES AND MENTALITIES.
1. "YOU DO YOUR THING AND I'LL DO MINE".
This is a restatement of the older philosophy of "LIVE AND LET LIVE", but it is more undisciplined and allows for a greater range and variety of activity. It incorporates the idea of greater freedom, but freedom from what we do not know, nor do we seem to care.
At first it would seem to be the answer to all human dealings. But we have to question the validity of that notion. C S Lewis, in his book Mere Christianity , states "The most dangerous thing you can do is to take any one impulse of your own nature and set it up as the thing you ought to follow at all costs". He goes on to further state "You might think love of humanity in general is safe, but it is not. If you leave out justice you will find yourself breaking agreements and faking evidence in trials for the sake of humanity and become in the end a cruel and treacherous person".
2. "LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF".
Years ago there was a new neighborhood which had 3 adjacent houses. You moved into house A, while two other new neighbors moved into houses B and C. The three of you formed some written rules by which you would all abide called the CC&Rs, or your own mini CONSTITUTION. Then one day B sold his house to D who knew what the rules were, but did not quite like them. So he would play his music loud into the wee hours of the morning which subjected C to a great lack of sleep and caused him to complain bitterly. But because you had a wall between you and D, it did not bother you at all. Furthermore, you really liked D much more than C. So you began to work with D in reinterpreting and ignoring the rules to which you originally agreed, much to the ire of C.
So the question becomes are you truly a moral, honest, and just person if you break your own word, despite your claims of loving your neighbor? Or are you simply a deceitful manipulator whose only interest is in serving yourself?
And then of course there comes the question of loving yourself.
C S LEWIS holds that you cannot love yourself if you do not love Jesus Christ.
3. 'IF IT DOES NOT AFFECT ME, THEN WHY SHOULD I CARE?'.
This is an extension of "You do your thing and I'll do mine". It can amount to turning a blind eye to real injustice.
4. "I'LL JUST GO ALONG WITH WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE SAYS".
This the lazy way out of coming to terms with real moral issues.
5. "I AM A COMPASSIONATE AND MORAL PERSON AND EVERYONE ELSE IS TO BE DISMISSED AS A PHOBIC OR BIGOT OF SOME SORT. BUT LET'S NOT SAY ANYTHING THAT WILL GET SOMEBODY MAD". This is an obvious self-contradiction that would ultimately lead to laws against speech and give way to laws against blasphemy.
6. ISLAM IS A SICK PSYCHOPATHIC IDEOLOGY for which there is no drug, no pill, and no remedy other than complete quarantine. Like a virus it infects its host with small unnoticeable effects. But then it slowly takes over one step at a time just like a virus and uses our own ideology to defeat us. The world has already become significantly infected with it. Governments are unable to detect it as evidenced by the most recent attack in San Bernardino. That politicians refuse to acknowledge the history of its existence and the troubles it causes is unconscionable. Those politicians who did nothing to stop its violence and spread will be held accountable for their disservice to humanity.
7. "I BELIEVE IN FACTS, LOGIC AND SCIENCE".
Science establishes facts and truths based upon repeated observation. So if a foreign ideology continuously and repeatedly carries out unwarranted attacks upon societies contrary to its own, then the logical thing to do is to limit the growth of that ideology.

A government that does not protect its citizens and regulate its borders has no credibility. Our current society - Is it moral leadership or extorted generosity?
"ISLAM WAS NOT FOR HIM". See story in comments below extracted from the news.
So those currently running our government would have this scenario be played out on an individual basis until there are enough votes to decide if Islam is a correct and proper ideology to be allowed or cast out of our society. Meanwhile more and more islamics are allowed to disperse throughout the world and spread their UNJUST Shaira law and/or jihadism while more terrorism is allowed to murder innocent people. And those in our alleged government continue to claim they are morally correct in allowing completely unvetted muslims to enter our country and that they are fully capable of regulating our society as they curse and slander citizens opposed to their viewpoint. The fact is, this government as it now stands is not capable of regulating or governing anything including the borders it is suppose to protect. And any calls for the government to do its job are met with outright hostility and alienation of the citizens of this country.
If those in governent wish to show their generosity to the world, then at least they could show some intelligence in doing so by requiring migrating muslims to completely renounce their ideology . Instead, they rant and rave like a bunch of maniacs at the least little mention of regulation. That is not government. That is demagoguery.

As there was a war of ideology between Russia and the US with the underlying conflict being between atheism and theism, there is now a new war of ideology between Islam and Judeo-Christianity. That politicians fail to recognize the deep divisions between the two and assume that the electorate votes with either their pocketbooks or their gonads is an insult to human intelligence.

True justice and moral righteousness cannot be based upon fear (or greed).
THE ONLY THING WE HAVE TO FEAR IS FEAR ITSELF.
These words spoken by Franklin Roosevelt echo down the halls of history, and their truth is as valid today as 75 years ago. Yet he was not the first to utter them. Two thousand years earlier mankind received the good news of Jesus Christ, ie, "Be not afraid for I, Jesus Christ, Thy God of righteousness and justice, are with thee now and unto the end".
So death, where is your sting? If I die in the name of Jesus Christ who is the just and righteous true God of all, then I will have fulfilled my purpose in this life. Does this mean that I go running out seeking to show off my courage and die wearing a suicide vest to blow myself and others up? Hardly, for that is neither just nor righteous. It is nothing but foolishness. Does that mean I do not shake in my boots as I confront evil. Hardly, because fear does prevent us from doing foolish things which is useful in being effective in accomplishing an end.
But let's return to current times. There are a lot of condemning words being cast about that accuse political opponents of being "phobic" , whether or not those being accused actually say they are "afraid". So there is an arrogance on the part of accusers that presumes to know the hearts and minds of those being accused. Yet those same accusers express concerns over "political correctness" which is based entirely upon fear. The president says "Oh we don't want to have a backlash against muslims, so everybody just shut up", even though the evidence of decades has revealed that ideology to be seriously flawed. From that point there then comes a rash of arrogant false and condemning charges of "racism", "bigotry", "hate mongering", "phobia", etc, all of which prevents any logical discourse or communication what so ever. So the conclusions and judgments always precede any rationale.
Now given WWII, Nazi Germany, and the persecution of the Jews,
it is understandable that there are fears of any return to that time of global madness. The word "NATIONALIST" has become a dirty word, because that word was included in the name of the NAZI party. But what we fail to discern is that the NAZI "nationalists" actually became "INTERNATIONALISTS" who sought to rule the world. That in no way applies to the "nationalists" of today. What country nation or ideology is so foolish as to want to rule the world today? There is only one, and they are called "muslims".
Nations have a right to be unique in support of their cultures. They have a right to prevent outsiders from entering their space. What parent would say that a rapist has the human right to enter their daughter's bedroom at any time? But nations and foreign nationals do not have the right to invade another country without consent or to impose through biased international courts their own view of what constitutes "human rights". It is foolishness that would brew a mix of humanity bound to violently explode, because one culture would be required to give up its mores to another culture.
Nations must be held accountable for their actions that impact the rest of the world. We have just one planet where all must survive. So when a nation allows its culture to over-populate beyond its borders, then it must be held accountable and not impose on the rest of the world. And when a nation pollutes the atmosphere that all must breath or the ocean that all must share, then it must be held accountable and be required to clean up its act. And when a nation seeks to deprive another nation of its homeland or when it infiltrates seeking to overthrow a peaceful non-aggressive regime for reasons other than aggressive threats (ie, alleged homosexual human rights) , then it must be held accountable and restrained.
We must not be afraid to rebuke those who are unjust, hypocritical and/or morally unrighteous. We must not be afraid to call a spade a spade and acknowledge the incorrectness of ideologies (religious or otherwise) that would seek world wide infiltration and domination. We must not be afraid of the name-calling that is a slanderous lie and seeks to preempt any logical discussion. We must not be afraid to meet violence with violence when it is justified. And today we are seeing violence perpetrated by those who have no moral authority through our God, Jesus Christ, and who are completely unjustified, regardless of any alleged "human rights". The only thing we do have to fear is fear itself.

OMG !!
A few days ago, hundreds of celebrities gathered to honor Frank Sinatra on his 100th birthday with the event being watched by millions of Frank Sinatra admirers. Frank Sinatra is dead and has been for years now. Yet they were uttering words and praises to Frank. Nobody seems to have labeled these people as Sinatra "freaks" or nut cases. So why would you do so with respect to those who go to church on Sundays to honor, praise and speak to Jesus Christ who is God?
Yet muslims, who do not acknowledge Christ as being God, would diminish Him and instead worship a man they call a prophet, ie, the worst form of idolatry. Granted they have a right not to believe in God. But we have to ask, "Exactly who is discriminating against who in this world of bigots, hate-mongers, and Christophobics?".
This Christmas we will once again say, "Happy birthday Jesus and thank you for being MY GOD".

Logic is in the head. But truth is in the heart.
If your heart is truly with He who was mercilessly crucified upon the cross and was martyred as no other for your sins, then there is absolutely no way you will ever, ever tolerate or accept the lies about Him and diminish His absolute virtue and position in the Kingdom of Heaven. No other alleged prophet, king or president, be it Mohammed or Obama, will ever be equal to or above Him for He, Jesus Christ, is God.

EVERY THING ABOUT THE SO-CALLED MUSLIM RELIGION IS AN OUTRIGHT LIE.
First of all, Mohammed was not a martyr as Jesus Christ. Mohammed died of a fever, not from persecution. Secondly, the claim that Mohammed could not have extracted his ideas from the Old Testament because he was illiterate is absolute nonsense. One does not have to be literate to hear the stories of the Bible. Beside that, Mohammed had his wife and plenty of literate friends to record his imaginings and interject their own interpretations of his dreams. Third, the muslim ideology is more about worshiping the piety of a man and not the acknowledgement and worship of a loving God. Fourth, Mohammed did not perform any miracles as did Jesus Christ. Fifth, the muslim ideology denounces the justified claims that Jesus Christ is in fact God and puts Mohammed above Jesus Christ. Sixth, the Quran is merely the mutterings of one man and not the testimony of hundreds if not thousands who witnessed the miracles of Jesus Christ first hand. Seventh, the muslim ideology is the only one in recent times that would murder and rape innocent lives that do not agree with its teachings. I could go on. But quite frankly, I have seen enough of its lying and murdering claims to make me want to puke.
There is something seriously flawed in the argument that says the reason for radical islamics is because they are poor or have not have the opportunities to succeed in life. That is just pure bull shit. This most recent attack was perpetrated by a guy and his wife who were making at least $70,000 a year. That does not sound like they were motivated by any lack of opportunity to have a happy life. The Fort Hood shooter, Major Hassan, was certainly not denied any lack of opportunity. The attackers of 911 certainly did not appear to be short in opportunity. And there are scores of other incidents which prove there is an arrogant and treacherous middle east philosophy that is so instilled in the muslim psyche that any avowed muslim is deserving of suspicion.
Furthermore, the claims of bigotry and hatred by the Christian faith against the muslim ideology is simply more pure bull shit. It is exactly the other way around. It is the muslim who rejects Jesus Christ as God and would create another God of their own who is responsible for the bigotry and hatred. The claim that the isalmic ideology is one of peace is an absolute lie. It is time for this country and its politicians to recognize who the real bigots and hate mongers are in this world, ie, the muslims.
Now there are those who will reject these words, because they would appear too strong or harsh. But to those I would say "Thou art lukewarm and neither cold nor hot. I will spue thee out of my mouth".

Mankind's Moral Dilemma
Jesus Christ said "By their fruits you will know them". Jesus also said we must be the "salt of the earth" not to be trodden over by men and that we must not be just luke warm to be spit out. Revelations 18:6 tells us to give twice the poison as given to us. In addition, Dietrich Bonhoeffer said "Better to do evil than to be evil". C S Lewis said "If you love humanity without justice, then you become a cruel and treacherous person". There has been a class offered at Harvard University called The Morality Of Murder which would seem to point out that there are some situations in which murder is a moral act. All of this raises the question "Can the end ever justify the means"? Can what would normally be considered an evil act actually be considered morally good and right in some circumstances? The answer must be in the end result and whether or not real justice prevails. The proof must be in the pudding.
Unfortunately there are those whose single simple mindedness would strip out justice for innocent victims in the name of love, compassion and humanity on behalf of their attackers. The question must boil down to "Exactly who are the beneficiaries of their love, compassion and humanity and at the expense of who?". And even more important, "Is their alleged love, compassion and humanity really what they claim it to be, or is it just a ruse filled with deceit, hypocrisy and dishonor that is as poisoned as the most barbaric crime?".
There are some parents who would rather not discipline their children giving as a reason that it does not comply with their own notion of love. There are some mothers who breast feed their children well into their youth out of what they would claim to be love. An argument they give is "But this is just a kid". Consider the wealthy Menendez brothers. Did they not have everything and all the love a child could wish for? Yet they brutally murdered both of their parents. More recently the airing of a vicious murder in Chicago of a lovely pregnant woman and her husband revealed that the crime was committed by an 18 year old who had been given all of the love in a wealthy environment. Yet years later the sister of the victim would seek to give this murderer even more love by releasing him from prison. It just seems there is never enough love to fill the black hearts of those who seek to deceive and take the innocent lives of others. Some parents "love" their children so much that they allow their children to take over in what amounts to a role reversal where the children tell the parents what to do. But one must ask, "Are they really loving their children if they continue to let their children poop in their pants and create a smell obnoxious to everyone else?". Are they doing their kids or society any favors in allowing their kids to wander off course? I think not. And so it must be with respect to criminal punishment.
The rewarding of bad behavior is not love.
Real love can require punishment that would appear to be evil in itself, especially when the crime requiring the punishment is of such a nature that it must be stopped dead in its tracks, lest many more will become victims of the same crime in the future. Therefore, evil acts that do not seek to propagate themselves may be required to destroy those evil acts that do seek to propagate and continue into the future. President Truman demonstrated this when he called for the atomic bombing of Japan, realizing it would save more lives than lost. There is a lot of truth in the saying "This is going to hurt me more than it hurts you".
Jesus upheld the simple rule "As you sow, so shall you reap". It tells us exactly what we can expect from our own actions, including our own wrong doing. Given this clue as to what we can expect, one of the best key tests in determining the morality of the punishment for a criminal act is to ask ourselves, "Could I reasonably expect to be subjected to the equivalent amount of punishment were I to be the perpetrator of a crime against another human being?". "Would I deserve the punishment or would I be getting away with murder?". "Could I reasonably expect to be murdered if I deliberately murdered another innocent human being?". "If I behead somebody, should I not expect to be beheaded myself?". "If I water-board somebody, should I not expect to be water-boarded myself?". "If I steal from somebody , should I not expect to be stolen from myself?". "If I call somebody a name, should I not expect to be called a name myself?". Any answer that says "no" to such questions must come from a mind that is obviously unjust and that has no sense of morality. And if you do agree with this test for morality, then why on earth would you impose it on yourself but not somebody else who had committed exactly the same crime?
Motive, intention and purpose are as essential in forming a correct judgment contributing to real justice as are the alleged vile acts being prosecuted. Those who focus merely upon the wrongful act and revile appropriate punishment for that act would say "That is not who we are". This is simply a red herring that seeks to absolve itself of any connection to the evil crimes committed day after day and the punishment for such crimes. It is the purely selfish ego that wants to see itself as a blameless soul, where in reality it gives more fodder to criminal acts. As long as somebody else is there to do their own dirty work, the self-righteous consider themselves above reproach. For this reason, we see today what has been called "cruel and unusual punishment" not even coming close to punishment appropriate for the crimes being committed against innocent victims and their families, thereby becoming cruel and unusual punishment for the victims, not the perpetrator. We see more effort going into the punishment of those who would correct evil than the deserved punishment befitting for barbaric murderers, all based upon a mentality that is tolerant to a fault. Terrorists who have committed and will continue to commit the most heinous crimes are fed and clothed, while military servicemen are prosecuted relentlessly for urinating on a book or conducting water-boarding. Police officers are persecuted for responding to someone taunting them, if not holding a gun in their face. A sheriff is targeted for doing his job with respect to arresting foreign nationals who have entered the country illegally. Citizens are chastised as being bigots for wanting law and order on their borders. The muslim ideology is held up to be a "great religion", when in fact it has been proven over and over again to be the breeding ground for radical crime. Meanwhile, Christians around the world are viciously attack by this so-called "great religion" as well as those who would condemn Jesus Christ for going against their sexual desires. If you are more concerned about "who you are" than taking action to confront the real injustice that you witness, then you are a pretty useless person, to yourself, to your family, to your neighbors, to your countrymen.
Finally, a perfect model for our own sense of moral correctness can be found in the biology of our own body which is said to be made in the "image of God". The T-cells of our own immune system are outright killer/murderers. Yet they do so on behalf of the rest of our body. Just imagine what would happen if our T-cells simply said "Oh, but I love everybody, including the destructive foreign cells that have entered the body". There would not be much human life around today if that were the intent of a higher power.
We encounter moral dilemmas everyday. But in dealing with them, we better be darn sure that we are not just discarding them in a trivial manner with trivial reasons, especially where there are innocent souls who can suffer severe and continued injustices when we do not respond proportionately in their favor, but instead favor their less innocent antagonists. Life feeds upon life. Our morality needs to assure that it promotes, nourishes and feeds the loving and innocent life, and not the other way around. To neglect to do so is as barbaric as the beheadings conducted by radical Islam.

SCIENCE VS. RELIGION.
There is ONLY ONE EXPLANATION to resolve the obvious differences between the science of evolution and religion when it comes to the discernment of time. And that is that God is traveling at (or faster than) the speed of light. That means there are fewer tics on God's clock than there are on ours. And that in turn means, that 1 day in God's time would represent several thousand days or more in our time. So it could very well be that 13 billion years in our time is 7 days in God's time.
"Sounds ridiculous" you say? Heck, I'm just quoting the theory of relativity.
At the same time, I am taking Jesus Christ at face value for what he said.
Jesus Christ claimed to be God. He also claimed to be "THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD". He did not just say He was like the light of the world. He said that He is the light of the world. Even if He said He is "like" the light of the world, one would have to conclude that He could travel at light speed. And that means His clock is much, much slower than ours.
"But", you argue, "That is not what He meant". "He meant that He is the truth or the knowing one of the world". Really? Then why did He just not come out say that instead of claiming to be the "light"? What did the word "light" mean in those days? Certainly it must have meant the means by which we can see. But in what sense would it most commonly be understood? Did teachers in those days call themselves "the light"? Not likely. So how would most people understand His words? They would know that burning candles give off light and warmth. So is He calling Himself to be nothing more than a candle stick? Certainly that would make him a fool in the eyes of the people. It must stand to reason that Jesus meant exactly what He said, ie, He is the actual physical light by which we can see or He has the same attributes of actual physical light. The trouble with the world today is that people are constantly reinterpreting what is said to fit their own thinking rather than taking at face value what is being said. We are constantly getting all kinds of spin on what people say or have written, including the Constitution, and that spin distorts the truth.
Discarding everything else that is written in the Bible, these two things Jesus Christ said about Himself, ie, 1) that He is in fact God and 2) that He travels at light speed, are the most important. And either you believe that Jesus Christ is telling the truth about Himself, or you believe Him to be an outright liar. And if you do believe Him and if you love Him, then you will obey Him, ie, you will not engage in homosexual behavior, you will not murder people for blasphemy, you will not slander others with name-calling, and (the hardest of all) you will not love your own children, your parents or anybody else before Him. But He does not demand your love as does Allah. He gives you that choice, just as in a democracy. It is almost that simple.
Arrogant and "SALTLESS" chicken liberals and muslims who believe Jesus Christ to be a liar have taken it upon themselves to change our understanding of time relative to Jesus Christ. ie, they now call BC (Before Christ) BCE (Before common era) and AD (After death) CE (common era). If that is not desecration of His memory and repersecution and recrucifixion, then I don't know what the hell is. At the same time, they claim to be "humanitarians", while betraying the greatest humanitarian of all. But the lying bigots and hypocrites of this world will do whatever it takes to prove they alone are right, forget everybody else including Jesus Christ who suffered and died because of their wayward sins and of those like them.

And why not? Because it is beneath your dignity? Because it is not who you are? "Oh, but we don't want to make the enemy angry do we. We do not want to be responsible for escalating the violence do we. That is not who we are. After all, we are so civilized."
GET A LIFE LIBERALS. WE ARE IN A WAR WHERE THERE ARE NO RULES, BECAUSE THE ENEMY HAS NO RULES. And when that war comes to you without there being someone else doing all your dirty work and to shield you, then what are you going to say , "Oh, I had nothing to do with it. We should all love each other no matter what. I love ISIS even though they are barbaric. I am a compassionate and faultless person who should not be blamed. I love the muslim ideology." ?
ALL USELESS HOGWASH. You are living in la la land. You are the colonel Bogeys of the world. If who and what you are is more important than defeating the reign of terror that is done in the name of an alleged religion that is teaching children to murder and blow themselves up, then you are a pretty useless individual to yourself, to your family, to your neighbors, to your country and to humanity. "He who would save his life will lose it, and he would lose his life on my account shall save it". You are the "salt that has lost its savor". Better turn in all your guns , because you are a "phobic" who does not want to be blamed for the real dirty work and who would rather blame someone else for doing your bidding. Better turn your children over to the government or murderers and give up all your belongings, because you don't want to get your hands dirty. And of course, ISIS and the Islamic ideology knows this about you and is exploiting it
There is no such thing as a "gentleman's war". Innocent people do get killed and hurt. But if that is going to happen regardless of what you do, then FORGET THE RULES, CONDEMN THE ENEMY AND HIS IDEOLOGY, ENGAGE THE ENEMY AND OBLITERATE HIM. THE SOONER YOU DO, THE MORE INNOCENT LIVES WILL BE SAVED AND THE SOONER THERE WILL BE PEACE. And with all that being said, above all do not try to divert attention away from the real enemy who teaches against Jesus Christ as does the muslim ideology.

ALL USELESS HOGWASH. You are living in la la land. You are the colonel Bogeys of the world. If who and what you are is more important than defeating the reign of terror that is done in the name of an alleged religion that is teaching children to murder and blow themselves up, then you are a pretty useless individual to yourself, to your family, to your neighbors, to your country and to humanity. "He who would save his life will lose it, and he would lose his life on my account shall save it". You are the "salt that has lost its savor". Better turn in all your guns , because you are a "phobic" who does not want to be blamed for the real dirty work and who would rather blame someone else for doing your bidding. Better turn your children over to the government or murderers and give up all your belongings, because you don't want to get your hands dirty. And of course, ISIS and the Islamic ideology knows this about you and is exploiting it
There is no such thing as a "gentleman's war". Innocent people do get killed and hurt. But if that is going to happen regardless of what you do, then FORGET THE RULES, CONDEMN THE ENEMY AND HIS IDEOLOGY, ENGAGE THE ENEMY AND OBLITERATE HIM. THE SOONER YOU DO, THE MORE INNOCENT LIVES WILL BE SAVED AND THE SOONER THERE WILL BE PEACE. And with all that being said, above all do not try to divert attention away from the real enemy who teaches against Jesus Christ as does the muslim ideology.

Is there an awareness gene, and is time only defined within the context of awareness? For there to be a scientific observer, there must be awareness. Without awareness, there can be no observation or measurement. Which leads us to ask, if there is no awareness, does time even exist?
One might argue that, regardless of awareness, mass of and distance between objects (along with forces and motion between them) do exist. Therefore, time must exist? But is that true? Or is time something embedded only within the human psyche? If that is true, then time may be nothing more than an agreement among humans, which means time is relative, which in turn means that reality is an individual thing, which means you cannot logically exclude the possibility of there being God. If your clock is relative, then it is not absolute.

Muslims whine they are discriminated against. Well hell, they discriminate against Jesus Christ and have done so for 1400 years. No one holds a gun to their head to continue in their islamic ideology that imposes punishment for blasphemy, curtails freedom of speech, bans the Bible, focuses on death rather than life, abuses women and children, encourages self-destruction and murder, and seeks special priviliges.
Liberal ideology is trying to impose the concept that you are what you think you are. According to them, "If your body is a boy, but you think you are a girl, then you are a girl. If you think you are a muslim, then you are a muslim. And btw, that applies to Christians as well, ie, if you think you are a Christian, then you are a Christian". ALL FALSE. There is more to being something than just thinking you are something. Human acceptance of something about themselves can change in a flash along with thoughts. Only if Jesus Christ accepts you as a Christian, only then are you fully Christian. In the meantime, we must abide by His word, not the Koran, that is if we seek to live in peace.

BUT YOU GUYS SAT ON YOUR BUTTS WHEN YOU COULD HAVE BEEN BOMBING THEM IMMEDIATELY AND BEFORE THERE WOULD BE MUCH COLLATERAL DAMAGE. You and your company are pathetic, because you are too busy arguing over color of skin and alleged human rights which does nothing but give life to a group that should have been wiped out years ago. You took your eye off the ball and were not there to take that 3am call as you previously said in 2008. Now you are an old bag, and we're suppose to trust your alertness? Never!!!!

The Clocks Of Science And History.
One of the principles of relativistic motion is the Twin Paradox which came out of Einstein's Theory Of Relativity. That principle says that if there are two twin brothers, and Twin #A stays on the ground while Twin #B flys off in a space ship, then when Twin #B returns his brother will be older than he. The explanation for this is that Twin #B's clock slows down relative to his brother's clock. Fair enough.
But let's consider Twin #B's perspective of things. He might very well argue that his clock did not slow down, but that his brother's clock speeded up. Either way, Twin #A' clock took more tics than Twin #B's clock.
Now let's consider our position on earth today which is in essence a space ship. The fact is that the earth is being constantly accelerated toward the sun by the sun's gravity. Our tangential velocity remains fairly the same, but there is a constant velocity increase in moving toward the sun. Furthermore, it would stand to reason that each year we are a little closer to the sun, which would mean the force of gravity is increased, which in turn means our velocity is faster. Therefore, our clock is constantly slowing down relative to the historical past. In other words our clock of today is making fewer tics than the clocks of yesterday, last month, last year, and of billions of years ago. One second on our clock today can be the equivalent of several thousand tics on the clock of 1 billion years ago.
The clock's of today's scientists are tree rings, geological layers, radio-active decay, and probably more. But who is to say those clocks have not slowed down over time? I am sure scientists must have some measurement of this discrepancy. They have already accounted for the dilation of time in gps systems. But then again we still might question the accuracy of their clocks since we do not know what has happened to those clocks over billions of years.
However, in a macro sense, the earth revolving around the sun is probably the biggest clock of all. One can argue that any increase in the period of earth around the sun is negligible even over billions of years. But is that a sure bet, given that some 70 million years ago a huge asteroid hit the earth which possibly changed the period of the earth around the sun? Certainly since the formation of the earth some 4.5 billion years ago, there have been more than just one such major event.
Homo sapiens are said to have been around for 200,000 years, while evidence of other life forms are said to go back 3.5 billion years on an earth 4.5 billion years old. All of these measurements are within our own frame of reference and according to our own clock. But who is to say there is no other clock that has a different period either within or outside the universe?
The human mind/spirit seems capable of comprehending any objects that it observes and the universality of objects, yet it tends to be incapable of understanding itself or anything that cannot be explained by objects. That is the difference between being "objective" and "subjective", and therein is the duality of the mind/spirit itself and the justification for both science and religion to mutually co-exist. But mere "ideology" that advocates violence, and has proven time and time again to be a breeding ground for violence, must not be construed to be "religion".

If you do not understand relative wrongness, then you do not belong in the White House. The time for tolerance has ended. Unless Islam is outlawed, you will continue to see the spread of ISIS throughout the world hiding under the covers of Islamic ideology and breeding terror cells in every country. They are capturing and training children to be suicide bombers. And so-called humanitarian groups are interferring with all efforts to rid the world of this scourge that needs to be wiped off the face of the earth. Colonel Bogey is alive and well. Eventually you will see suicide bombers hitting every point in the civilized world. And when this happens and your kids are trained to blow themselves up, you can shoot those alleged humanitarians who allowed this to happen. But go ahead, follow Obama and his band of soothsayers who have lead this country into a culture of disunity, trivial argument, slander, homosexuality, betrayal of those soldiers who have protected us & betrayal of its citizens. His path is one big DEAD END. So do not be surprised when you discover you have to turn around and go back.

Until the issues of radical islam, same-sex marriage, and illegal migrants are correctly eliminated, there can be no lasting agreement upon climate change, booming global population, and birth control. But because of the impact by these later issues upon world societies, unless every human being voluntarily submits to curtail their own contribution , then it may fall upon government to impose restrictions such as taxation and birthing limits.
Given illegal migrants who use babies to gain citizenship, we know there will be no such global consent. And having seen an Independent Lens focus upon the brutal gang rape/murder of a young woman in India that triggered massive protests, and having seen the results of uncontrolled birthing giving rise to less-than-human deprivation in which the children wish for death and straining the rest of India society, it is obvious that the world has a population explosion problem that will eventually choke humanity to death .
There is no justification for a government to become involved in personal matters unless those matters impact the rest of society. And population explosions do impact all of a society. Therefore, a government is only justified
involving itself in personal matters, such as birthing, if it pertains to necessary birth control. If a government can justify its position in imposing birth control by reason of population control and if it does step in, then it must do so pro-actively without trying to undo what has already been done (ie, providing abortion) at the expense of the tax payer, unless the government failed to protect against rape.
That being said, Planned Parenthood should be defunded for providing abortions at tax-payer expense unless it is the result of rape which the government failed to protect against. Otherwise, an unwanted pregnancy should be at the mother's expense. The government might provide loans to such mothers which they should pay back. In addition, if a government does impose birthing restrictions, then it can begin by removing any tax credits from those exceeding birthing quotas.
It is recognized that there are those who claim this to be a "women's right" issue, but that argument smacks of bigotry catering to another special interest and creating gender unneutrality. It is also recognized that religious beliefs may be opposed to any forced contraception, but it would be wiser if those religious beliefs imposed their own restrictions before the state steps in.

Radical Islam is not just stationed in Syria. Better include Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Lebanon, parts of Africa, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Indonesia, and the Philippinnes in your search for radical Islamics. So why don't you just abolish the whole damned islamic ideology from all countries except Arabia. After all, God did give Caine a place to go.
And then there is Iran who would probably love to take over Mecca, Medina and Israel in their own little version of insanity.
Oh yes, Islam is a really "great religion" that rejects Jesus Christ as God and for 1400 years has engaged in global treachery and even within its own ranks unto this current day. And Christians are nothing but a "bunch of islamaphobes with guns and Bibles", (even though they are tolerant to a fault which you know you can exploit). Isn't that so, Mr Obama. Maybe you would like to retract your insulting words Mr Obama, but if not then that is too bad. You can go down in history as the traitor president, the Judas of the United States, the founding father of the Ununited States of America. When you refuse or fail to correctly identify the real purveyors of hatred and fear and the ideology promoting it, then you do not belong in the presidency. You Mr Obama have become lost in the fog of refighting a war that President Lincoln won, putting you out of touch with the current times in countering THE IDEOLOGY OF REAL BIGOTRY AND HATRED, ie, ISLAMIC IDEOLOGY.

SIMPLE LOGIC.
If you do not believe in God (which is your right), then you do not believe in Jesus Christ who said He is God. And if you do not believe in Jesus Christ, then you are not a true humanitarian, because you are rejecting the greatest humanitarian of all. That makes you a hypocrite. No matter, you may believe that Jesus Christ is dead. But if that is the case, then please do explain all those who say they either witnessed or agree that Jesus Christ has risen from the dead, including the mighty Roman Empire. Were they all deceived by some very clever plot and you are just smarter than all those people?
Some day scientific fact must come around to resolving itself with historical fact without mutual destruction if either is to become credible.

According to hypocritical liberals, 6 billion people are suppose to yield to the bullshit of Islamic ideology, as well as approve homosexuality.

Meanwhile, muslims around the world may decry the attacks on Paris, BUT UNTIL THEY RENOUNCE THEIR IDEOLOGY (AS NAZIS WERE MADE TO DO), THEY ARE STILL A THREAT TO THE WORLD.

ISLAM - THEOLOGY OR FRAUDULENT IDEOLOGY.
ISLAM IS NOT A RELIGION. IT IS AN IDEOLOGY that rejects Jesus Christ, who is God, and has rejected Him for 1400 years. Instead, Islam bows to worship a phony god. Therefore, it is not a religion. Islam is a fraudulent ideology and one which does not know the meaning of forgiveness and requires punishment for blasphemy and the curtailment of freedom of speech. We are already seeing that curtailment going on today via Islamic sympathizers issuing name-calling, labeling, slander, etc., even in the press. Islam does not like competition. It effectively burns the Bible by outlawing it in its cultural countries. ISLAM IS AN IDEOLOGY as bad as Nazism. Its members are not born muslims. They are born into a muslim ideology/indoctrination. In the free world, nobody holds a gun to their head to become a muslim. They voluntarily accept it. So they are responsible for who they are. True, there are some "good" muslims, but if they had any intelligence at all and wanted to live outside their indigenous country, then they are pretty insulting, ungracious, unthankful and stupid in not renouncing their ideology. Instead they would seek to transport and impose their barbaric culture on host nations.
Christians allow you the freedom to believe what you want AS LONG AS YOU DON'T HURT ANY INNOCENT PEOPLE. They are tolerant to the point of a fault. And to exploit that tolerance is simply evil in itself deserving of an answer, albeit an unpleasant one that requires the exploiters to renounce their barbaric ideology.
There are those who claim to be "humanitarian" and who would repeal the 1st amendment to persecute Christians along with muslims if they could. If you claim to be a " humanitarian" and persecute Christians then you are a hypocrite and a liar, because you in fact reject the greatest humanitarian of all, ie, Jesus Christ who is God. The Constitutional right to "religious freedom" must be held to apply ONLY TO TRUE RELIGIONS THAT DO NOT INSTIGATE VIOLENCE AND HATRED. THOSE IDEOLOGIES THAT CLAIM TO BE RELIGION AND YET DEMAND THE NEGATION OF FREE INDIVIDUAL WILL, ENSLAVEMENT & WORLD DOMINATION THROUGH VIOLENCE ARE NOT TRUE RELIGIONS. THEY ARE PHONIES HIDING UNDER THE NAME OF RELIGION. Therefore, the 1st Amendment does not apply to the Islamic ideology.
So just exactly who are the bigots, the phobics and the purveyors of hatred in this world? Who are the ones promoting violence and hatred? Who are the real liars, slanderers, thieves and murderers? They are the anti-Christians, the muslims and those claiming to be humanitarians who in truth are not. We are talking in today's times, not beyond the last 200 years. So don't give any crap about how bad the Christian religion was during the Holy Roman Catholic Empire. And don't point to the few bad eggs who claimed to be Christians when they were not. Your arguments are as bad as the muslims who have consistently rejected Jesus Christ as GOD for centuries,ie, the REAL BIGOTS.
THE REAL INSTIGATORS OF TODAYS' WORLD VIOLENCE ARE THE ANTI-CHRISTIANS, THE WORST OF WHOM ARE THE ISLAMIC IDEOLOGISTS & THE PHONY HUMANITARIANS. And that ideology and phony humanitarian propaganda needs to be put to rest by what ever means necessary, even if it means temporarily forgetting who we are. John Brown, the Christian abolitionist, forgot who he was although he was right. Unfortunately it's time to bring him back again, only this time as an Islamic Abolitionist.

More PURE B.S. from the liberal mindset that is more afraid of a backlash than anything else. They are a bunch of lying backlash-phobics, and because of their rhetoric, they have contributed more to the exposure of harm than protecting against it, all under the guise of being "humanitarian". Well if they care so damn much about the Islamic ideology, why don't they just move to an Islamic state and take up sides there.

If you want to be a muslim, then STAY IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY & LEAVE US ALONE. THAT IS YOUR CHOICE, YOU WERE NOT BORN THAT WAY AND NO ONE SHOULD BE HOLDING A GUN TO YOUR HEAD TO STAY A MUSLIM. Otherwise disavow the WHOLE DAMNED PIECE OF ISLAMIC GARBAGE and don't bring any of your family here unless they do likewise. And don't be complaining about our laws, because you don't know shit about them or their origin. Egypt's SiSi did disavow Islam and yet this stupid ass Obama government of ours wants to bring him down. Islam is NOT A "GREAT RELIGION". IT IS A PIECE OF CRAP THAT HAS THE RIGHT TO STAY IN ITS OWN LITTLE CORNER OF THE WORLD.
And where is Obama in all of this mayhem? Is he going to tell us again how great the Islamic religion is? Or maybe a light bulb is finally going off in his head how truly anti-Christian and evil it is. But more than likely he is going to deliver another one of his pontifications on how bad Christianity is with its "guns and Bibles.".
WHAT IS SO AMAZING IS THAT JUST A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE (LIKE ISIL) CAN HERD AROUND MILLIONS AND MILLIONS WHO HAVE NO WILL TO FIGHT AND DRIVE THEM FROM THEIR HOMELAND TO INVADE OTHER COUNTRIES. WHY SHOULD WE FEEL SORRY FOR THIS GUTLESS BREED THAT WON'T EVEN DEFEND ITS HOMELAND AGAINST SUCH VIOLENT CULTURES? IF WE ARE GOING TO SUPPORT SUCH PEOPLE, THEN BEFORE WE DO, THEY NEED TO FORMALLY DENOUNCE ISLAM. You don't need to be a Christian to do that.You can be an atheist, a Hindu, a Buddist, or whatever you like. But the muslim ideology has proven itself to be the most untrustworthy, dangerous and unworthy of cultures time after time again. So they can just stay the hell out of where they do not belong.
For centuries, the muslim profile has been characterized by continuous bickering, argument, and violence. You would think that after centuries following Christ and longer than the United States, they would have some answers on how to behave. But they do not. The overall argument comes from a rejection of Jesus Christ as being God and claiming that Allah is not Jesus Christ. Therefore, their Allah IS NOT GOD although they equate him with God. And this argument has escalated on down through the centuries. Where ever they go, they argue. If not about religion, then they argue about laws. They are among the most argumentative and disruptive creatures in the world.

For centuries, the muslim profile has been characterized by continuous bickering, argument, and violence. You would think that after centuries following Christ and longer than the United States, they would have some answers on how to behave. But they do not. The overall argument comes from a rejection of Jesus Christ as being God and claiming that Allah is not Jesus Christ. Therefore, their Allah IS NOT GOD although they equate him with God. And this argument has escalated on down through the centuries. Where ever they go, they argue. If not about religion, then they argue about laws. They are among the most argumentative and disruptive creatures in the world.

An "ACT OF WAR!. Hey guys, we are at war". DUHH. But who are we at war against? "Of nothing but a few unidentified terrorist, but whatever you do, don't profile them as radical Islamics. You don't want to be an Islamaphobe, do you?" (More DUHH) When are we ever going to get that Islam is the breeding ground for violence.

We don't know who did it???? How much parsing out of different radical Islamic groups do we need to do before we begin to understand that Islam on the whole is one very, very sick religion/ideology/mentality/dogma.

This is a long rambling letter complaining about the death of the 16 year old son of Anwar al-Awlaki, a known terrorist who plotted against the United States and was eventually taken out with a drone missle hitting him in Yemen. The issue is not so much about Anwar as it is about the subsequent death of his 16 year old son a few weeks later via another drone missle. The question raised is one of responsibility for the son's death.
The answer to the charges being raised are simple. WHEN A PARENT ADVOCATES UNJUSTIFIED VIOLENCE AND WAR UPON INNOCENT PARTIES, HE/SHE PLACES THEIR FAMILY IN HARMS WAY. THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEATH OF THIS ALLEGED US CITIZEN CHILD RESTS ON HIS FATHER'S SHOULDER'S AND ON THE SHOULDERS OF THE SO-CALLED VIOLENT RELIGION HE PROFESSED, NOT THE UNITED STATES. But once again as usual, we see an Islamic mentality disclaiming responsibility for its own actions. They obviously believe they can murder innocent people and wage war without any consequences to themselves and/or their families. This is their moto - "Oh here, let us murder you, but you are not allowed to touch us". WELL SCREW THAT NOISE. ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE VIOLENCE IS THE ISLAMIC RELIGION ITSELF.
But this raises another question as to the VALIDITY OF DUAL CITIZENSHIP. How do you pledge allegiance to two countries? Jesus Christ said "You cannot serve 2 masters". And that is absolutely true. Ultimately you will favor one over the other. And if war emerges between those 2 masters, your loyalty becomes in question. And so it is with Barack Obama.

Well now here is a MEDIA LIE right off the bat. "BACKLASH spreads among "FAITHFUL". If you do not obey God's word, then you are not exactly "FAITHFUL". But they probably meant to say "MEMBERS" and not "FAITHFUL". But what's wrong with a little distortion of the truth. Hey, here is a new word, ie, "DISTORTIONIST". Goes right along with "CHRISTOPHOBE".

How can your parents be wrong if they loved you?
That depends upon what you call "love".
If they beat or persecuted you into believing as they did & without your best interest at heart, then that is not "love". That is conscription. Did they behave indecently. That's not "love", that is debauchery. So if they were "good" to you, then does that mean they were not wrong? Hardly. Consider the parents who do not expose their children to even just a little bit of Jesus Christ. So they are in effect censoring Jesus Christ, who is God, from their children. That is wrong. By the same token, there is such a thing as over-exposure. Moderation and temperance in all things is the best policy for parents, unless it violates God's laws . Then their children will know right from wrong.
Of course there are those who do not see that Jesus Christ is God. They are allowed to go their own way, AS LONG AS THEY DO NOT IMPOSE THEIR OPINIONS ON EVERY ONE ELSE, and that includes their children.

The measurement of speed requires 2 observations of the clock.
The measurement of acceleration requires 3 observations of the clock. As you accelerate ahead in time, your clock slows down. You can only accelerate ahead in time, you cannot accelerate or decelerate back in time. So as you look look back in time, your clock speeds up. At least so it would seem. But it may be possible to over-take and catch up with history if time itself is cyclical (not to disappoint time travelers).
So as we look back in history, it would appear our clocks are moving faster than they would have been 13 biillion, 5 billion,50,000 or even 7000 years ago IN OUR CURRENT TIME FRAME. And so who is to say that 13 billion years in our time would not be 7 days back then. Linear thinkers might argue this conjecture.
Meanwhile, recent observations have shown the universe to be expanding and accelerating outwards, according to our current clock that is, and leaves the door open for almost any possibility regarding the universe, including an unending expansion where even distance and time cease to exist. Whether or not this has any implications for the quantum world remain to be seen.
No matter, God being the invisible "I am", you cannot observe Him unless you focus upon Jesus Christ, because that was the only time He was visible and our clocks were running to take measurements. Since we were not there, we must rely upon what was documented, ie, the New Testament which refers to the Old Testament and any other documents or archaeological or fossil records.
In reading the documents/records, you come to just one question.
Either you believe Jesus Christ was God in the flesh or you do not, in which case you consider Him insane, dumb, or a complete liar. Let's look at the possibilities.
Was He insane?
But what did He do that looked insane? Are there any accounts of Him acting erratic or inconsistent? They did not crucify Him for that.
Was He dumb?
If He was dumb then why did so many people follow Him when he was alive? Were those thousands simply a bunch of dummies too? It is said that He spoke with authority. They did not crucify Him for being dumb.
Was He a liar?
If He was a liar claiming to be God, then why would you humanitarians today believe in or abide by anything He said at all ? It is obvious that people who claim to be God are either insane or seeking to push others around for their own benefit. But Jesus Christ was not insane, nor did He seek to push others around. And it is obvious that people who lie have some ulterior motive. Did Jesus Christ demonstrate any ulterior motive? If He did, then it certainly was not to increase His own coffers. Perhaps He was an actor just wanting attention with a death wish? But in the garden He prayed that He did not wish to die. So maybe He was an actor seeking attention? But if this were true, then He would have confessed upon His brutal beating. And He certainly would not have gone to His death, because He could have avoided it. But there was no confession. So we cannot call Him a liar.
What's left?
There remains just two possibilities. Either Jesus Christ was a brave man just standing His ground unto death or He was who He said He was,ie, God. The world has seen many brave people standing their ground unto death. But were Jesus Christ just a brave man standing His ground, how do you account for all of those well documented witness accounts of His performing miracles while He was alive and those miracles even after His death? What? You mean you do not believe the millions( if not billions) of people since His death? It would seem the evidence is clear, ie, He is exactly who He said He was, ie, God. And He is not dead. Yes, the world is full of crap, but He did not put it there, we humans did.

The news media has forgotten how to report the facts.
Many of the news media outlets can count themselves as exacerbating and escalating problems rather than helping to diminish them, BECAUSE THEY DISTORT THE FACTS..
They spends weeks delving into the trivial details of Ben Carsons' autobiography (written in 1990) accusing him of lying.
How is it that Obama's pot smoking and other misbehaviors were so conveniently overlooked? And today in reporting the situation at Missouri U, the reporters are again seen misrepresenting the facts. Judy Woodward ( a white reporter) claimed that the Missouri U President was "OUSTED", when in fact he RESIGNED WITH MUCH GRACE. And Scott Pelley (another white reporter) said that the president was "FORCED OUT". Over the year(s) I have watched these two time and time again inject their own bias through their wording, thereby inflaming the situations they are reporting . And over the years I have also watched Lester Holt (a black new caster) who has consistently stuck to the facts without injecting inflaming innuendo. HMMM. Maybe we should just fire all of the white reporters and hire blacks to get the truth.
Meanwhile,a 6 year old white autistic boy was murdered by what appears to be two black officers. Did any of the reporters point that out? The fact is skin color has got nothing to do with honesty or competence. But if those white racial apologists insist, I would prefer Lester Holt to the other two. Besides that, I like his dedication and sense of humor. I cannot recall hearing him say anything that would make me want to throw my shoe at the TV. With the other two, I would have broken my set several times at their comments/wording.

Are you really a "humanitarian" if you give to some at the expense of others, taking from them what they cannot afford to release? The Lord loves a cheerful giver, not a taker who distributes what he takes as he sees fit. It would not be acceptable if milk needed for one starving baby was taken from its mother in order to feed the baby of another mother. Are you quite sure you are not taking unjustly from one person to give to another? Are you quite sure you are not robbing from one culture to feed another? Are you quite sure you are not sacrficing the sovereignty of one nation to support another. Are you quite sure you are not promulgating an environment leading to war? As the saying goes, "The road to hell is filled with good intentions supporting those with bad selfish intentions or giving to some at the expense of others".
Taking is what governments do (such as ObamaCare) and why churches are needed, the difference being that governments outright extort while the churches ask for free giving. Of course, churches can rob too through deception, but then you have the government supposedly to keep that in check. God forbid that we ever have just one global central government with judiciary or just one global church, or even worse that church and state become one. Separation of these is what you call real diversity. Homogeneity is not diversity. NATIONS EXIST TO KEEP & SUPPORT UNIQUE CULTURES, NOT TO HAVE A FREE-FOR-ALL OR ONE BIG HOMOGENEOUS WORLD.
THERE IS ONLY ONE UNIVERSAL HUMAN RIGHT , AND THAT IS THE RIGHT TO LIVE FREE AS LONG AS YOU DO NOT ROB OR DELIBERATELY MURDER ANOTHER INNOCENT PERSON WHO HAS THE SAME RIGHT. Aside from that, ALL OTHER ALLEGED HUMAN RIGHTS MUST ONLY BE VALID WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF THE NATION/CULTURE/SOCIETY GRANTING THOSE RIGHTS. When in Rome do as the Romans. And if a nation/culture/society does grant rights which are not acceptable to the outside world, then it should simply keep its mouth shut and not insist that others do likewise. PEOPLE OWE IT TO EACH OTHER TO KEEP THEIR NOSE OUT OF EACH OTHER'S BUSINESS UNLESS THERE IS SOME COMMON LEGITIMATE CONCERN. BUT UNWELCOMED NOSY NEIGHBORS AND PUBLIC DEMONSTRATORS OVER TRIVIAL ISSUES CAN CREATE MORE TROUBLE & WAR THAN ANYTHING ELSE.
That being said, the Mexicans who have entered this country illegally should be sent home and the church should shut up, this country's promulgation of homosexuality and undemocratic policies should be squashed, and the Islamic State should go to hell. And this we fervently pray for.
To Jesus Christ, who lived and was real and is the true God of all (not Allah), be the victory & glory (with or without the United States in its current state).

The one great truth is that all things occur in cycles, some periods being longer than others, but eventually completing, only to start again. Space is suspected of being curved, otherwise there would be no discussion of worm-holes.Death is the completion of life and sexual activity is the beginning of life with life feeding upon itself. Do you not suppose there is some great entity behind all of this with a purpose? However, the expanding universe at present seems to be accelerating and having no limit. Only time will tell if that is true or not. An analogy resolving the two perceptions might be that of an inner-tube being inflated. And perhaps time itself is really 3-dimensional, although we currently think of it as being linear.

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. Following the crash of the Russian airliner with raising suspicions that ISIS may have planted a bomb on board, several Washington officials have been heard saying "This is of concern, BECAUSE IT INDICATES THAT ISIS IS RAISING THE STAKES". JUST WHERE IN THE HELL HAVE THESE WASHINGTON OFFICIALS BEEN IN THE LAST 20 YEARS? Is not the bombing our embassy in Lebanon enough? Is the bombing of the US Cole not enough? Is not the high jacking of airlines and cruise ships over the past many years enough? Is the Lockerbie plane bombing not enough? Is 911 not enough? Is not the beheading displayed on the internet enough? Oh, but these officials are so afraid of calling the causes of these issues what they really are, ie, "RADICAL ISLAMIC INSANITY". And of course the Benghazi consulate attack was due a video. Maybe they know something we don't know, and that is we have already lost, so why fight it. Their thinking is better to concede and not condemn the so-called religion than take it on. After all, we don't really want to offend Islamics, but it is okay to offend Christians with terms like "Islamaphobe".

Mathematically speaking, direction is dictated by order. 1,3,2 is counter-clockwise and opposite in direction from 1,2,3 which is clockwise. Order means priorities. If your priorities are wrong , then your direction is wrong (ie, negative). Obama's priorities put non-essentials before essentials, are backward and completely inappropriate, ie, ObamaCare before the economy, foreigners before citizens, sodomy before celibacy, criminals before victims, Islamic praise and Christian condemnation, rewarding inappropriate behavior, etc. Therefore our direction is wrong (ie, negative).

WAR and PROTESTS.
Man's worst enemy is violence, and his second worst enemy is the cowardice not to confront it when it is warranted. What is the best way to curtail violence?
War is the most extreme form of violence. Innocent people get killed and maimed. There is always collateral damage, and if anybody goes into war thinking they are going to love the enemy to death, that is about as naive and unjust as you can get. There is no such thing as a "gentleman's war". So what is the justification for going into and engaging in war? Is the justification based upon truth or lies? And given that justification, is there any justification for prosecuting those who have fought on your side?
It would seem the best justification for war is if it is started by the enemy and if the enemy is murdering innocent people and promises to continue doing so. Today, ISIS has initiated such a war. To not engage in battle against it would be to author the death warrants of millions of people. So we are compelled to fight them and conduct a war EVEN IF IT MEANS SOME INNOCENTS ARE KILLED. We do not like it, but the alternative is far worse. So a heavy hand is required.
Now, turning to the protests that have been going on in this country more recently and the complaints alleging police brutality. Protesters don't voluntary go to such rallies thinking there is not going to be trouble. It would almost seem as if they actually expect to be treated roughly just so they can go and file a complaint to receive millions of dollars. But for the most part, this would not be true of most of the protesters. The question remains, is there any truth to the cause over which they are demonstrating? Or is it all based upon a pack of lies and propaganda?
No matter, it is the duty of the police to maintain the peace, and when these demonstrations become violent (ie, beatings, setting fires, robbery, etc), then the heavy hand of the police must be applied.

WHAT IS "KNOWING"? HOW DO WE KNOW THAT WE KNOW?
It might be said that merely "knowing" something is common to all living things, but that knowing something to be "true" and knowing the truth of our own inner selves is unique only to us humans, and that is what sets us apart from all other living things. In other words, knowledge of the "truth" of our own inner selves is implanted only in our own minds and not in any other species. Only a human can say "I know this to be true". And only mankind can say "We know these things to be the truth". Therefore, we "know" by interrogating our inner selves and by comparison with other humans. And if every human acknowledges the same inner truth about himself, then that truth is universally known to be true, meaning it must be a law fundamental to all humans.
KNOWING vs BELIEF.
It seems safe to say that knowing is the dead certainty and provability that something is true, where belief is the suspicion that something is true. How often do we humans act on a belief of something to be true, only to later discover that it is not true? It happens every day. Lastly, one other thing we need to clarify, and that is "faith". Faith is action based upon the belief in the trustworthiness of another, ie, the consistent repeatability of another.
But WHAT IS THE "TRUTH"?
The "truth" tends to be something that we regard as an absolute. If it pertains to something external from our inner selves, then we tend to require that it be supported by observation, either by our own observation or by the observation of somebody else, ie, another human. And we tend to require that the observation be consistent and repeatable over time. However, the well established Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle tells us that just because we cannot observe something does not mean we can conclude there is no truth in it. Therefore, evidentiary facts alone do not comprise the entire truth. They merely support knowledge of the truth.
We may recognize the "truth" to be characterized by consistent behavior, but that is not true when it comes to humans. Human behavior can be as inconsistent as it pleases. But does that mean that there is not one thing all humans consistently ascribe to as being the truth? Not at all. Humans can universally know something to be true, but not necessarily acknowledge or abide by it all of the time. Inconsistent hypocrisy happens all of the time.
It might be said that knowledge of the truth is not afraid of challenge. If something is absolutely true, then it will stand up against all tests. Today, we call this "transparency". So if someone has knowledge of the truth, then why should they attempt to hide it (cover-up) if it is in fact the truth? The only possible and legitimate argument in favor of covering up the truth would be if it was necessary for the protection of others, such as children who have not fully matured. This is the justification for laws of decency. But other than that one justification, it would appear that covering up is an admission of knowledge that what is presented as the truth is really known to not be the truth.
Now some might disagree with this last statement and contend that covering-up does not necessarily arise from one's knowledge of the real truth, but that one might cover-up because he knows the consequences if he did not cover-up. There may be some validity to this, but certainly one's knowledge of the consequences implies that he has knowledge of the reasons behind the consequences,and if he agrees with those consequences to be imposed upon others, then he does actually have knowledge of the truth.
In addition to actually knowing something to be true, we might ask, "Is it universally true?". Is it true at all times and in all places? Or is it true only at certain times in certain places, but not others? If it is true at all times in all places, then we have uncovered what we could call a "law of the universe". Newton's laws of motion and gravitation and the laws of mathematics certainly appear to always hold true (consistency) no matter the time or place, and so we know them to be universally true. Here is another universal truth, ie, drinking water and breathing air is good for all humans. But what about the human mind and behavior? Are there any truths regarding the human mind and/or human behavior where we can say they are common to all humans, all of the time, in all places , no matter the culture, no matter the up-bringing, no matter the beliefs? It would seem that there is at least one indisputable and universal truth about human nature, and it is that there is good and bad in all societies of mankind. Few, if any, would dispute that.
Finally, when it comes to truth, we ask "Is it possible for one universal truth to contradict another universal truth?". We have to think not, otherwise there is no truth in one of the alleged truths, and consistency is a key attribute of the truth.
IS THERE A FUNDAMENTAL AND UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE OF HUMAN MORALITY?
So why is all of this important? It is because C S Lewis in his book asserts that all human beings have built into them a universal, fundamental and consistent moral law of right and wrong that they know to be the truth and that every human invokes from time to time. In other words, all human beings have the same basic knowledge of good and evil, or right and wrong behavior. Furthermore, he claims that they may choose to abide by or not, and if they do not, as so often they do not, then inconsistent hypocrisy comes into play. The question is, is he correct?
WHAT IS THE "RIGHT THING"?
Before we proceed, we must ask "what exactly is the right thing?".
What is "right", and what is "wrong"? If something is to be universally the right thing, then the most obvious test is this, ie, "What is good for the goose is good for the gander". Most would agree that for a person claiming something to be the "right thing", it must be applicable to himself as well as others. One cannot really actually "know" that something is right or wrong unless they have actually experienced it themselves. But just because what might be "right" for one person, does that mean it is "right" for another person? Not necessarily. A certain drug that works for one person in combating a disease may not be the "right thing" for another person combating the same disease. But what we are looking for are those things that are universally right and true for everyone and without which there can be no trust in and among people. Is there such a "right thing"?
There are certainly signs of something actually being the "right thing", such as a warm hand-shake, a smile, a hug, a thumbs-up, etc. But these signs are not the "right thing" in and by themselves. We might think that the "right thing" always feels good. But then Heroine can feel good, for a while, so that is not always true. We might think that the "right thing" is lasting. But then again, death itself appears to be lasting. And then again, we might ask, "Is it the right thing for WHO?" If it is the "right thing" for some and not for all, then it is not universally the "right thing".
BUT HOW CAN "TREATING OTHERS AS YOU WOULD REASONABLY EXPECT TO BE TREATED YOURSELF" NOT BE UNIVERSALLY THE RIGHT THING FOR ALL HUMANS IN ALL SOCIETIES ANY MORE THAN BREATHING FRESH AIR AND DRINKING FRESH WATER WOULD NOT BE THE RIGHT THING FOR ALL HUMANS IN ALL SOCIETIES? THIS IS WHERE C S LEWIS HAS US. IT IS A UNIVERSAL TRUTH AMONG HUMANS.
TESTING THE ALLEGED LAW.
Continuing on, in support of Lewis's premise, we note the similarities between Newton's law of motion which says "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction" and a much older morality principle which says " as you sow, so shall you reap" which restated says "treat others as you yourself would reasonably expect to be treated". In addition, we note the universality of our current day currency and market exchange system which seeks to assure fairness in human activity. All of these give credibility to Lewis's premise that all humans have a common knowledge of good and evil and of how they should behave and treat others, thereby giving further credibility to the idea of a universal law of morality or right and wrong.
But is there, or has there ever been, a human being within whom Lewis's law of morality never even existed ? If there is (or ever was) such a human, then we might question the universality of Lewis's law? Perhaps the best and more recent human being to examine is Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany. Certainly within the 3rd Reich, we would see Lewis's Law Of Morality at work. Nazi Germans would expect each other to behave according to Lewis's Law Of Morality. And we could expect that the Nazi Germans sense of morality would be the same as that to be found within other societies. What society does not teach its children to love and respect each other? So there is no contradiction here. However, the Nazi's own sense of morality did not extend to other societies, because they considered themselves the "Master Race" superior to all others. And herein lis the problem, ie, when one group might believe and practice morality within their own ranks, but not extend that same morality to other cultures. So how do we address this issue?
We proceed by asking the following:
1. Is it possible for a person to believe whole heartedly he is doing the right thing and NOT KNOW he is doing the wrong thing?
Answer: Yes. It happens all of the time. It's called an "ooopps".
Even Christ said "Forgive them, they know not what they do.".
But this did not happen with Hitler.
2. Is it possible for a person to believe whole heartedly he is doing the right thing when he knows it is the wrong thing?
Answer: Yes. It happens all of the time.
And the history of WWII indicates that this was the case with Nazi Germany. Why?
a. The Nazis went to great lengths to cover up their Final Solution. The German citizens of Auschwitz claimed they knew nothing of what was going on. There was a great cover up attempt to keep knowledge of the extermination camps from the light of day.
b. The head of the SS, Himler, actually threw up at the executions going on.
c. There was not universal agreement within the German society that they were doing the right thing in exterminating the Jews. Some in the German military knew what Hitler was doing was wrong & tried to assassinate Hitler.
d. The post-war Nuremberg War Crime Trials revealed that many of the higher up leaders knew what they were doing was wrong. But some used the excuse that they were just following the orders of a madman.
Finally,
3. Is it possible for a person to believe whole heartedly he is doing the right thing and actually in truth KNOW he is doing the right thing?
Answer: Yes.
But with respect to Hitler, it is clear he "believed" he was doing the right thing, but did he truly know that he was doing the right thing?
It is this last scenario, ie, a person believing they are doing the right thing and claiming to "know" they are doing the right thing, that gives Lewis's law of morality the biggest problem. First, what is the truth of a person's reasons in claiming to actually "know" they are doing the right thing?
Do their reasons contradict other truths? In Hitler's case, his actions contradicted the universal truth that there is good and bad in all societies/cultures. His persecution of the Jews refused to acknowledge the good Jews. Second, is the alleged "right thing" they are doing to the Jews universally true and applicable to themselves? It is clear that Hitler's alleged " right thing" did not apply to himself. After all, how can one really know if something is universally "right" or "wrong" if they have not experienced it first hand themselves?
We can only conclude that Hitler did not actually know whether or not he was doing the right thing, because he had no legitimate claim to actually "knowing" he was doing the "right thing". And so it would seem that C S Lewis's assertion of the Universal Law Of Human Morality is correct. But take note. It was not said that we humans always obey the Universal Law Of Morality. It was only said that we have knowledge of it and invoke it when it suits us. In fact, Lewis points out that we are always breaking it, despite our knowledge of the truth of it. And that is what makes it unlike any other physical law of the universe.
DIFFERENCES IN UNDERSTANDING OF THE LAW.
The underlying principle of the law is the GOLDEN RULE. But people read the GOLDEN RULE differently. The lazy interpretation of it says "Treat others as you would be treated". Many take it to mean that you should treat others AS YOU WOULD "LIKE" THEM TO TREAT YOU. In other words, it's a wishful interpretation that can make a lie of its truth. The thinking is "If I treat Johnny the way I would like him to treat me, then he will treat me the same." WRONG. Where this may be an example of good leadership, there is nothing to say that Johnny will in fact act accordingly.
Another interpretation says to love others as yourself. But the big question here is "What do you mean by love"? It is just too ambiguous.
A better and more complete statement of the GOLDEN RULE is "TREAT OTHERS AS YOU WOULD REASONABLY EXPECT TO BE TREATED YOURSELF". This is not a wishful statement. It implies that you are willing to suffer the just consequences of your own actions, and in that comes an understanding of what justice really is. In truth, Morality and Justice go hand in hand.
It might be said that merely "knowing" something is common to all living things, but that knowing something to be "true" and knowing the truth of our own inner selves is unique only to us humans, and that is what sets us apart from all other living things. In other words, knowledge of the "truth" of our own inner selves is implanted only in our own minds and not in any other species. Only a human can say "I know this to be true". And only mankind can say "We know these things to be the truth". Therefore, we "know" by interrogating our inner selves and by comparison with other humans. And if every human acknowledges the same inner truth about himself, then that truth is universally known to be true, meaning it must be a law fundamental to all humans.
KNOWING vs BELIEF.
It seems safe to say that knowing is the dead certainty and provability that something is true, where belief is the suspicion that something is true. How often do we humans act on a belief of something to be true, only to later discover that it is not true? It happens every day. Lastly, one other thing we need to clarify, and that is "faith". Faith is action based upon the belief in the trustworthiness of another, ie, the consistent repeatability of another.
But WHAT IS THE "TRUTH"?
The "truth" tends to be something that we regard as an absolute. If it pertains to something external from our inner selves, then we tend to require that it be supported by observation, either by our own observation or by the observation of somebody else, ie, another human. And we tend to require that the observation be consistent and repeatable over time. However, the well established Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle tells us that just because we cannot observe something does not mean we can conclude there is no truth in it. Therefore, evidentiary facts alone do not comprise the entire truth. They merely support knowledge of the truth.
We may recognize the "truth" to be characterized by consistent behavior, but that is not true when it comes to humans. Human behavior can be as inconsistent as it pleases.

So if someone has knowledge of the truth, then why should they attempt to hide it (cover-up) if it is in fact the truth? The only possible and legitimate argument in favor of covering up the truth would be if it was necessary for the protection of others, such as children who have not fully matured. This is the justification for laws of decency. But other than that one justification, it would appear that covering up is an admission of knowledge that what is presented as the truth is really known to not be the truth.

History Of The Middle East. The most fought over territory in the world. So who really owns it?
Mesopotamia is the region following the Euphrates region (Iraq) from northern Syria to the Persian Gulf.
The Levant is the coastal region of the eastern Mediterranean including western Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Israel.
1. For a good part of early history, Mesopotamia was ruled by the Assyrians. The Levant was occupied by Phoenicians/Canaanites.
2. From 1400 BC to 605 BC, Mesopotamia was tossed back and forth between the Assyrians and Babylonians. Finally in 605 BC, the Babylonians obtained control.
3. From 1050 BC to 930 BC, the Kingdom Of Israel included the West Bank and western parts of Jordan, but not the Gaza Strip. The Philistines occupied the Gaza Strip.
4. In 540 BC, Persia (Iran) acquired control of Mesopotamia.
5. In 330 BC, Alexander The Great acquired control of both the Levant and Mesopotamia.
6. In 320 BC, Mesopotamia fell back to the Persians.
7. In 44 BC, Rome had control of the Levant, but not Mesopotamia.
8. By 117 AD, Rome had control of Mesopotamia.
9. In 650 AD, Arabia had taken control of Mesopotamia.
Rome kept the Levant.
10. In 1453 AD, the Turkish Ottoman Empire had control of
both Mesopotamia and the Levant. The Turks come from Central Asia.
11. In 1920, the Ottoman Empire ceased to exist and the League Of Nations re-established national boundaries.
So just exactly who should have what?
IT SEEMS PERFECTLY CLEAR THAT THE WEST BANK BELONGS TO ISRAEL. IT SEEMS PERFECTLY CLEAR THAT MESOPOTAMIA BELONGS TO IRAN AND SYRIA. IT SEEMS PERFECTLY CLEAR THAT THE LEVANT BELONGS TO LEBANON AND NOT IRANIANS OR ARABS. IT SEEMS PERFECTLY CLEAR THAT THE IRANIANS SHOULD STAY OUT OF YEMEN OR ANY COUNTRY SOUTH OF ARABIA. AND GOD ONLY KNOWS WHERE THE TURKS BELONG. GIVE TURKEY TO THE KURDS or anyone else who does not shoot others in the back or persecute Armenians. Turks should go back from whence they came. Iran and Arabia should stay out of Turkey.

"The hilltop compound in Jerusalem's Old City, revered by Jews as the Temple Mount, is the holiest site in Judaism. Known to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary, it houses the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the gold-topped Dome of the Rock. It is the third-holiest site in Islam and a key Palestinian national symbol."
Since Jerusalem is ONLY THE 3RD holiest site to Islam and it is the MOST IMPORTANT SITE TO JEWS, IT WOULD SEEM THAT THE ISLAMICS ARE BEING SELFISH. SO SCREW THEM, but do not sodomize them.

The 2-state solution is really a 3-state proposition. It has been proven that a non-contiguous nation is a total joke (ref. Pakistan). The West Bank rightfully belongs in the hands of Israel. It is part of their ancestral home which has been invaded repeatedly. More recently they were twice attacked by the Arab nations which had annexed the West Bank after WWII. And twice Israel was the victor. But the poor losers (who continue to attack Israel) just want their cake and eat it too. Those UK alleged "scholars" need to do more homework before they go running around casting judgments

PBS FrontLIne paints a picture inside Syria from the Assad government's viewpoint reminiscent of the Batista Cuban government just prior to its overthrow by Castro. So it would appear as if Obama does in fact support revolutionary overthrows of stable governments, including those of the Libya, Egypt, the Ukraine, Syria, etc. while removing sanctions in support of Castro's Cuba. And he certainly has done his best to destabilize our own government. Looks like Bill Ayers did have an impact on Obama.
Ted Cooper
Turkey is WAY OUT OF LINE. It is not an ally. It is a 2-faced coward that should be kicked out of NATO. It has revealed its true character ( rather lack thereof) and has proven that it was indeed responsible for the genocide of Armenians. The Turkish government is no different from Pakistan. You don't know what or who in the hell they stand for. But then neither do we any more. Our involvement with Turkey has caused us to lose the moral high ground. One thing is for sure, ie, there is no such thing as "democracy" in the middle east , and there never will be.
From the very minute ISIS overran Mosul, Obama should have been ordering military action against it. Instead, he sat on his behind for a whole year, leaving the Kurds alone to be the only effective force against ISIS and despite their repeated requests for arms support. If you are not going to support the Kurds in fighting ISIS (AS OBAMA HAS NOT DONE) , then you might as well stop pretending to be conducting a war against ISIS and agree with their beheadings and the destruction of the beginnings of the civilized world. That Turkey has not really engaged against ISIS shows where its sympathies are.
But ISIS and its sympathizers is a culture that should be wiped off the face of the earth. And if you are not going to go in and occupy the damn place, then you are wasting yours and everyone else's time and precious lives. You don't invade a country and expect everyone will love you (with their hearts and minds) and adopt your standards of democracy. You have to have a staying presence as was done after WWII until you are dead sure that the trouble is over. The Russians know that. So don't be complaining when they do what we should have done.
Furthermore, if you leave your back door open for thieves to come in while your servicemen are putting their lives on the line in another country as we have done since 2000, then you are a traitor. So either shit or get off the pot and become another Turkey. But Obama has already sat on the pot too long and Russia has flushed the toilet.
So what's left to do?
The religious war is not going to disappear until the 2 Islamic religious sects are separated and the major powers agree to oversee their respective regions. So let Russia oversee Iran, Turkey & Syria, because they will be fair to the Kurds, which we are not. Meanwhile, let us establish a line in Lebanon (which we should have done in the 1st place) to get rid of Hezbolla. That should satisfy the Israelis. And it should establish a clear dividing line between Sunni and Shiite, as well as our umbrella and the Russian umbrella. With respect to Arabia and south (ie, Yemen), drive the Shiites and Iran out of Yemen. That should satisfy the Arabs. What about Iraq? Did you really think they were going to turn around and love us for helping them set up a democracy? Iraq should be broken up into 3 states: 1 for the Sunni, 1 for the Shiite, and 1 for the little boy who lives in the lane, ie, THE KURDS. Meanwhile, NATO should BACK-OFF from it's saber rattling and diminish its membership, lest they continue to promote war and discord for job security. And the so-called international court should stop stepping on countries rights to define their own social order UNLESS THERE IS A DIRECT UNJUST IMPOSITION PROPAGATED TO OTHER COUNTRIES.
If you are worried about nukes, N. Korea already has them and been left to be overseen by China. We don't seem to be so concerned over that, do we? So why not do the same in the Middle East? Let Russia oversee its portion and let us oversee our portion protecting Israel, Arabia and Egypt. Obama may think he is president of the entire world, but one country alone cannot be responsible to make sure that nukes are not being proliferated. They need to be controlled by the major powers in their respective regions.
From the very minute ISIS overran Mosul, Obama should have been ordering military action against it. Instead, he sat on his behind for a whole year, leaving the Kurds alone to be the only effective force against ISIS and despite their repeated requests for arms support. If you are not going to support the Kurds in fighting ISIS (AS OBAMA HAS NOT DONE) , then you might as well stop pretending to be conducting a war against ISIS and agree with their beheadings and the destruction of the beginnings of the civilized world. That Turkey has not really engaged against ISIS shows where its sympathies are.
But ISIS and its sympathizers is a culture that should be wiped off the face of the earth. And if you are not going to go in and occupy the damn place, then you are wasting yours and everyone else's time and precious lives. You don't invade a country and expect everyone will love you (with their hearts and minds) and adopt your standards of democracy. You have to have a staying presence as was done after WWII until you are dead sure that the trouble is over. The Russians know that. So don't be complaining when they do what we should have done.
Furthermore, if you leave your back door open for thieves to come in while your servicemen are putting their lives on the line in another country as we have done since 2000, then you are a traitor. So either shit or get off the pot and become another Turkey. But Obama has already sat on the pot too long and Russia has flushed the toilet.
So what's left to do?
The religious war is not going to disappear until the 2 Islamic religious sects are separated and the major powers agree to oversee their respective regions. So let Russia oversee Iran, Turkey & Syria, because they will be fair to the Kurds, which we are not. Meanwhile, let us establish a line in Lebanon (which we should have done in the 1st place) to get rid of Hezbolla. That should satisfy the Israelis. And it should establish a clear dividing line between Sunni and Shiite, as well as our umbrella and the Russian umbrella. With respect to Arabia and south (ie, Yemen), drive the Shiites and Iran out of Yemen. That should satisfy the Arabs. What about Iraq? Did you really think they were going to turn around and love us for helping them set up a democracy? Iraq should be broken up into 3 states: 1 for the Sunni, 1 for the Shiite, and 1 for the little boy who lives in the lane, ie, THE KURDS. Meanwhile, NATO should BACK-OFF from it's saber rattling and diminish its membership, lest they continue to promote war and discord for job security. And the so-called international court should stop stepping on countries rights to define their own social order UNLESS THERE IS A DIRECT UNJUST IMPOSITION PROPAGATED TO OTHER COUNTRIES.

The problem with the Obama admin is that it is always managing the public perception and not the reality. In this case they are saying they have a change in strategy where it is in fact not.

This appears to be a very wise Pope. At least so far. However, his policies on illegal human migration and dealing with radical Islamics need to be carefully weighed, considering the obvious consequences regarding self-accountability/ responsibility and the dismissal of those attributes as being virtuous. The child molestation and homosexuality that went on in the church and the cover-up of it was an obvious outcome of a policy of unconditional forgiveness that amounted to "humanity without justice" (C S Lewis), something that Jesus Christ Himself would not condone.

"He who angers you conquers you"? I disagree. If you are not angered by injustice then you are no longer the "SALT OF THE EARTH". There is warm, just anger and cold, unjust anger. But anger is an unpleasant feeling that most humans would like to avoid.

After Thursday's Benghazi hearing with Clinton, liberal democrats are complaining that the committee is being used to "politicize" what happened in Benghazi. More WHA WHA WHA. Apparently what they do not get is that is EXACTLY THE COMPLAINT BEING LODGED AGAINST LIBERALS, IE, THAT THEY ARE THE ONES WHO USED BENGHAZI IMMEDIATELY AT THE TIME OF ITS HAPPENING TO "POLITICIZE'" THE EVENT AS BEING CAUSED BY ISLAMAPHOBES PUTTING A VIDEO ON THE INTERNET. In other words, they distorted the truth for political gain. And they have continuously distorted the truth with their name calling and prostitution of this country since they took office, including G W Bush. As a matter of fact, the liberal agenda began with G W Bush when he called The MinuteMen " A bunch of LAWLESS VIGILANTES". Such immoral and slanderous behavior does not unify a country, it divides.
There is a hypocrisy within the liberal mind set that says "I can call you names and politicize events, but you cannot". For them, what's good for the goose in not good for the gander. They can dish it out, but they cannot take it. That is a very dangerous mentality to be running government.

The CLINTON LIE About Benghazi.
The attack started in the early morning hours and went on until 11 pm.
I seem to remember Clinton saying she would be there to take that 3 am morning call. SHE NEVER DID.
Excerpts from text.
Congressman Jordan:
So if there's no evidence for a video-inspired protest, then where did the false narrative start?
It started with you, Madam Secretary.
At 10:08, on the night of the attack, you released this statement, "Some have sought to justify the vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet."
At 10:08, with no evidence, at 10:08, before the attack is over, at 10:08, when Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty are still on the roof of the annex, fighting for their lives, the official statement of the State Department blames a video.
Why?
CLINTON: During the day on September 11th, as you did mention, Congressman, there was a very large protest against our embassy in Cairo. Protesters breached the walls. They tore down the American flag. And it was of grave concern to us because the inflammatory video had been shown on Egyptian television, which has a broader reach than just inside Egypt.
And if you look at what I said, I referred to the video that night in a very specific way. I said, some have sought to justify the attack because of the video.
I used those words deliberately, not to ascribe a motive to every attacker but as a warning to those across the region that there was no justification for further attacks.
And, in fact, during the course of that week, we had many attacks that were all about the video. We had people breaching the walls of our embassies in Tunis, in Khartoum; we had people, thankfully not Americans, dying at protests. But that's what was going on, Congressman. JORDAN: Secretary Clinton, I appreciate most of those attacks were after the attack on the facility in Benghazi. You mentioned Cairo. It was interesting what else Ms. Nuland said that day.
She said, "If pressed by the press, if there's a connection between Cairo and Benghazi," she said this, "there's no connection between the two."
So here's what troubles me. Your experts knew the truth. Your spokesperson knew the truth. Greg Hicks knew the truth.
But what troubles me more is I think you knew the truth.
I want to show you a few things here. You're looking at an e- mail you sent to your family.
Here's what you said at 11:00 that night, approximately one hour after you told the American people it was a video, you say to your family, "Two officers were killed today in Benghazi by an Al Qaeda- like group."
You tell -- you tell the American people one thing, you tell your family an entirely different story.
Also on the night of the attack, you had a call with the president of Libya. Here's what you said to him.
"Ansar al-Sharia is claiming responsibility."
It's interesting; Mr. Khattala, one of the guys arrested in charge actually belonged to that group.
And finally, most significantly, the next day, within 24 hours, you had a conversation with the Egyptian prime minister.
You told him this, "We know the attack in Libya had nothing to do with the film. It was a planned attack, not a protest."
Let me read that one more time.
"We know," not we think, not it might be, "we know the attack in Libya had nothing to do with the film. It was a planned attack, not a protest."
State Department experts knew the truth. You knew the truth. But that's not what the American people got. And again, the American people want to know why.
Why didn't you tell the American people exactly what you told the Egyptian prime minister?
CLINTON: Well, I think if you look at the statement that I made, I clearly said that it was an attack. And I also said that there were some who tried to justify...
(CROSSTALK) JORDAN: Secretary Clinton...
CLINTON: ... on the basis -- on the basis of the video, Congressman.
And I think...
JORDAN: Real, real quick, calling it an attack is like saying the sky is blue. Of course it was an attack.
(CROSSTALK)
JORDAN: We want to know the truth. The statement you sent out was a statement on Benghazi and you say vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material on the Internet. If that's not pointing as the motive of being a video, I don't know what is. And that's certainly what -- and that's certainly how the American people saw it.
CLINTON: Well, Congressman, there was a lot of conflicting information that we were trying to make sense of. The situation was very fluid. It was fast-moving. There was also a claim of responsibility by Ansar al-Sharia. And when I talked to the Egyptian prime minister, I said that this was a claim of responsibility by Ansar al-Sharia, by a group that was affiliated -- or at least wanted to be affiliated -- with Al Qaida.
Sometime after that, the next -- next day, early the next morning after that, on the 12th or 13th, they retracted their claim of responsibility.
JORDAN: Madam Secretary...
CLINTON: And I think if -- if you look at what all of us were trying to do, and we were in a position, Congressman, of trying to make sense of a lot of incoming information...
JORDAN: Madam...
CLINTON: ... and watch the way the intelligence community tried to make sense of it.
JORDAN: Madam Secretary, there was not...
CLINTON: So all I can say is nobody...
JORDAN: ... conflicting -- there was not conflicting information the day of the attack, because your press secretary said, "if pressed, there is no connection between Cairo and Benghazi." It was clear. You're the ones who muddied it up, not the -- not the information.
CLINTON: Well, there's no connection...
JORDAN: Here's what -- here's what I think that -- here's what I think is going on. Here's what I think's going on.
Let me show you one more slide. Again, this is from Victoria Nuland, your press person. She says to Jake Sullivan, Philippe Reines. Subject line reads this: Romney's Statement on Libya.
E-mail says, "This is what Ben was talking about." I assume Ben is the now-somewhat-famous Ben Rhodes, author of the talking points memo. This e-mail's at 10:35, 27 minutes after your 10:08 -- 27 minutes after you've told everyone it's a video, while Americans are still fighting because the attack's still going on, your top people are talking politics.
It seems to me that night you had three options, Secretary. You could tell the truth, like you did with your family, like you did with the Libyan president, like you did with the Egyptian prime minister -- tell them it was a terrorist attack.
You could say, "you know what, we're not quite sure. Don't -- don't really know for sure." I don't -- I don't think the evidence -- I think it's all in the person (ph) -- but you could have done that.
But you picked the third option. You picked the video narrative. You picked the one with no evidence. And you did it because Libya was supposed to be -- and Mr. Roskam pointed out, this great success story for the Obama White House and the Clinton State Department.
And a key campaign theme that year was GM's alive, bin Laden's dead, Al Qaida's on the run. And now you have a terrorist attack, and it's a terrorist attack in Libya, and it's just 56 days before an election.
You can live with a protest about a video. That won't hurt you. But a terrorist attack will. So you can't be square with the American people. You tell your family it's a terrorist attack, but not the American people. You can tell the president of Libya it's a terrorist attack, but not the American people. And you can tell the Egyptian prime minister it's a terrorist attack, but you can't tell your own people the truth.
Madam Secretary, Americans can live with the fact that good people sometimes give their lives for this country. They don't like it. They mourn for those families. They pray for those families.
But they can live with it. But what they can't take, what they can't live with, is when their government's not square with them.
Mr. Chairman, I yield back.
GOWDY: Madam Secretary, you're welcome to answer the question, if you would like to.
CLINTON: Well, I wrote a whole chapter about this in my book, Hard Choices. I'd be glad to send it to you, Congressman, bec

An except from Clinton's testimony. In 2011 she was the main pressure behind attacking Gadhafi. Yet in Feb 2012 she did not even know if there was an embassy/consulant in Lybia. And in Sep 2012, the embassy/consulant was attacked. On top of that, it took days if not weeks before reversing the claim that the attack was due to a video on the internet.
IS THIS REALLY THE KIND ON NEGLIGENCE WE WANT IN THE WHITE HOUSE?
Extract from text.
The e-mail says -- and it is dated February 9, 2012. One writes to the other about an encounter that she had with you.
Quote, "Also, the secretary also asked last week if we still have a presence in Benghazi. I think she would be upset to hear, yes, we do. But because we don't have enough security, they are on lockdown," end quote.
And I say this is very troubling to me because it raises several issues that I would like to ask you about. I'm struck by the first part, quote, "The secretary asked last week if we still have a presence in Benghazi." Now, you pointed out to Mrs. Brooks in her last line of questioning, based on the e-mail stacks here, that you engaged in a lot of conversations and briefings. So, I'm assuming that this conversation with this member of your staff took place in one of those briefings.
But then she sent this e-mail asking about this. So, how can this be that two of your staffers are e-mailing about whether or not you even knew if we had a presence in Benghazi in 2012, with all your interest in Libya in 2011, including your trip in October of 2011? And that months later, we come to find out you didn't even know we had a presence there?
CLINTON: Well, I can't comment on what has been reported. Of course, I knew we had a presence in Benghazi. I knew that we were evaluating what that presence should be, how long it should continue. And I knew exactly what we were doing in Libya.
And I think it's important. Since you have very legitimate questions about what we were doing. You know, the United States played a role in the first election that the Libyan people had in 51 years. It was a successful election by every count. And they voted for moderates. They voted for the kind of people they wanted to govern them.
We had a very successful effort that the United States supported, getting rid of Gadhafi's remaining chemical weapons, which we led and supported the United Nations and others in being able to do.
We were combating the proliferation of weapons. That's one of the reasons why there was a CIA presence in Benghazi, because we were trying to figure out how to get those weapons out of the wrong hands, and get them collected in a way and destroyed. And in fact, we began reducing those heavy weapon stocks.
We were working on providing transition assistance to the Libyans. I met with the Libyans. I telephoned with the Libyans. I saw the Libyans all during this period. And it was hard. Because a lot of them knew what they wanted, but they didn't know how to get from where they were to that goal.
And we did an enormous amount of work. My two deputies, Tom Nides and Bill Burns, went to Libya. Other officials in the State Department went to Libya. So there was a constant, continuing effort that I led to try to see what we could do to help.
Now, one of the problems we faced is that the Libyans did not really feel that welcome a peace-keeping mission. They couldn't welcome foreign troops to their soil. That made it really difficult. And it didn't have to be American troops, it could have been troops from anywhere in the world under a U.N. Mandate that might have helped them begin to secure their country.
ROBY: Secretary Clinton, if I may, I hear what you're saying, but this e-mail says something very, very different.

So I am treating you as I would expect to be treated myself.
But somehow, the character disorder of this country does not see it that way.

IT IS TIME FOR THE "POOR ME" SELF PITY PARTY TO END.
MEIN KAMPF was Hitler's "My Struggle" which means "POOR ME".
Today we keep hearing these same stories over and over again.

No. Instead they inflame the tensions by insulting their hosts with name calling - "racist', "homophobe","'xenophobe", "islamaphobe", "bigot", etc. Well maybe its high time to see where the real phobia's are.

Having just seen a Front Line documentary on illegal immigration, it is clear that Washington is BOOT-LICKING Hispanic illegal immigration which is strongly lobbying the government, even demonstrating at 5 in the morning in front of Congressmen's homes. They claim they are tired of waiting for becoming legal citizens. Well if they don't like it, then let them start a war that will become the Mexican American War II and Civil War II all wrapped into one.
No one should care more about their political party winning than they do their country. And with respect to caring for humanity, if the Catholic Church can ex-communicate, then the state can deport as it should. And if you say "I cannot deport them, there are too many"., then you just sold your country down the drain. Ultimately, your sweet lemon will sour.

God may have allowed for capital punishment, but did He allow for indiscriminate killing such as war? The problem with war is that it may justifiably target an individual or group of individuals, but because it is "area killing" it invariably results in unintended irreversible damage. One has to ask if John Brown was justified at Harpers Ferry and even if the North was justified in attacking the South. Preservation of the Union seems like a flimsy excuse (ie, we are married and now you have to live with me) . But freeing the slaves gave the war more justification.
No matter, there is absolutely NO JUSTIFICATION for the Islamic State to claim unjustified beheading, murder and rape to be the edict of God. Their God is not the God of Jesus Christ, because they have diminished Jesus Christ to the level of a mere prophet, albeit that is their right. And while innocent Syrians may be being killed by anti-ISIS forces, there is good reason to question why ISIS or any radical Islamic group is even allowed to exist and who is responsible for that evil existence.
Oh yes, God did allow Caine to live, but in his own country. He separated Caine from the rest of His own people. That alone is justification for different nation states to co-exist and not impose their crap on others (as we are tying to impose same-sex marriage on the rest of the world). But He did not say what happens if Caine's country attacks His own people's countries, or what happens when the world becomes too small. It would seem that God's ultimate wall in separating good from evil is war. So at the present, SINCE THIS COUNTRY WAS FIRST ATTACKED BY RADICAL ISLAMICS, THE WAR GOES ON UNTIL EVERY RADICAL ISLAMIC IS ACCOUNTED FOR AND HAS PAID HIS DUES.

"The concern is about changing Church policy regarding divorce and not following the path of protestant churches".
That concern is understandable. Of course the most desired state is for a marriage to last a life time. But sometimes one of the partners chooses the separation to be via death and preferably the partner's death. And that is not a good result. Why is it not better to have a pressure relief valve in the form of divorce.? And if you read your Bible, you will see that Jesus said "There is no marriage in heaven". That does not justify fornication, an environment not conducive to decent child up-bringing.
Then again, perhaps it is better if the Catholic Church maintain its high standards, leaving the lesser standards to the protestant church, just as there are varying levels or grades in school. And perhaps a system of graduation from Protestant to Catholic be allowed to admit ex-communicated Catholics back into the church.
Far too often, the Catholic and Protestant churches are seen as being at odds and in competition with each other. Why should that be? They both have the same leader, Jesus Christ. It would make more sense if their roles complimented each other.

If true that he did not shed any blood, then what is the point in executing him. This is CLEARLY A CASE OF THE LAW EXCEEDING JUSTICE, which so many atheists hold the "law" to be the ultimate authority. It is "justice" not the law that should be the ultimate authority.

To all my bridge friends.
Consistency in bidding logic requires:
1. That the 2C opening promises 3 stoppers in aces and kings which is true of the 22-24 point hand AND DOES NOT EXCLUDE THE 19-21 point hand, which means jump shifts can be limited to 18 points giving more bidding flexibility in the 16-18 point range.
2. That 2H is absolutely the logical response to a 2C opening to reflect a negative hand (less than 2 stoppers), with a 2D response indicating a 2 suit stopper hand.
3. That the 2N opening be a balanced hand as Goren originally had it at 22-24 points, meaning the 19-21 point balanced hand is opened as 2C.
You can work out the rest of your bidding system logically if you stand by these 3 premises.
But give the 2C DIFFERENT, HELPLESS, or SAME Response System a try.
2D = 2 DIFFERENT SUITS STOPPED
2H = a HELPLESS hand with less than 2 stoppers.
2S = stoppers in the SAME suit.

Angela Merkel, in facing the huge migration crisis being imposed upon Europe, has ask the key question that probably most separates liberals from conservatives. She asked "How can we, as Christian Democrats believing in human goodness, not accommodate the throngs of migrants entering Europe?". It is a question that deserves an answer. And perhaps the answer rests in this question. DID JESUS CHRIST ADMONISH US NOT TO CONSIDER RISK TAKING? DID HE RESCUE JOHN THE BAPTIST WHEN JOHN WAS BEING BEHEADED? HE ALSO WARNED US TO BEWARE OF WOLVES IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING?
So it would appear that Jesus was telling us to be giving, but not beyond reason. And given the history of the Islamic world, there is plenty of room for being very careful when dealing with an Islamic. Does that mean we are racists? Not at all. It simply means that we have reasons for mistrust. In fact some of the parables of Jesus reflects what would otherwise be labeled with that nasty word, "DISCRIMINATION".

Last night I heard a high ranking attorney say that "justice" was not "fairness". Really? It sounded as if he were saying "it is not okay for individuals to make a mistake, but it is okay if the law makes a mistake". Where is the accountability and justice in that? He also said compassion and justice are two different things. But here again he is wrong. Real justice is dispensed out of compassion for those who have suffered wrong. It would seem as if he forgot the purpose of the law and has become lost in legalism.

So are we going to start regulating the use of cars instead of giving licenses to illegal migrants? And are we going to start executing well proven murderers as they should be executed?
The issue of gun control is a rural vs urban issue and will never be resolved until some means of remotely disabling each gun is invented.
But even then, there are those who will make their own guns, just like there are those who will make their own car bombs. And criminals will always find a gun when needed, law or no law

From the blog of Joseph A. Palermo
Professor, historian, author
As it stands today, United States policy in Syria insists that President Bashar al-Assad must go. But if the U.S. succeeds and the Assad government is scattered to the wind it raises the question: Who will defend the ethnic and religious minorities in Syria from the Islamic State, the al-Nusra Front, and all the other heavily armed homicidal maniacs that already control nearly half the country?
An orderly transfer of power in Syria would be terrific. But nothing taking place on the ground would suggest this outcome to be even a remote possibility at this time. The paucity of "moderate" elements among the rebels would seem to preclude a smooth political transition. The U.S. policy of "regime change" in Iraq and Libya unleashed long-term humanitarian catastrophes. The Assad government is the only game in town and if it falls prematurely Syria will probably end up looking a lot like Libya.
By portraying Russian actions in Syria as "aggression" and "interference" without acknowledging the far more significant role U.S. policy played over the past 12 years in creating the crisis, the American people are being led astray once again on the goals and consequences of U.S. military intervention in the Middle East.
Neo-conservatism and liberal interventionism form two equally bogus parts of a bifurcated worldview that hobbles clear-headed thinking among U.S. foreign policy elites. Even in the face of the nightmarish failures that have destroyed the lives of thousands of innocent people in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Ukraine, the neo-cons (such as Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland) and liberal interventionists (such as United Nations Ambassador Samantha Power) still cling to "regime change" as a viable policy.
Both schools of thought believe they can restore the United States' damaged credibility in the Middle East by vilifying Russian President Vladimir Putin and telling lurid tales of Assad's "barrel bombs" and human rights abuses. Both of them always assume the posture of taking the moral high ground. Yet they only choose to see "humanitarian disasters" when they fulfill some wider U.S. geostrategic objective.
We've been hit with a narrative that promotes U.S. power and influence but accepts zero responsibility for the consequences of its actions and those of its allies.

As it stands today, United States policy in Syria insists that President Bashar al-Assad must go. But if the U.S. succeeds and the Assad government is scattered to the wind it raises the question: Who will defend the ethnic and religious minorities in Syria from the Islamic State, the al-Nusra Front, and all the other heavily armed homicidal maniacs that already control nearly half the country?
An orderly transfer of power in Syria would be terrific. But nothing taking place on the ground would suggest this outcome to be even a remote possibility at this time. The paucity of "moderate" elements among the rebels would seem to preclude a smooth political transition. The U.S. policy of "regime change" in Iraq and Libya unleashed long-term humanitarian catastrophes. The Assad government is the only game in town and if it falls prematurely Syria will probably end up looking a lot like Libya.
By portraying Russian actions in Syria as "aggression" and "interference" without acknowledging the far more significant role U.S. policy played over the past 12 years in creating the crisis, the American people are being led astray once again on the goals and consequences of U.S. military intervention in the Middle East.
Neo-conservatism and liberal interventionism form two equally bogus parts of a bifurcated worldview that hobbles clear-headed thinking among U.S. foreign policy elites. Even in the face of the nightmarish failures that have destroyed the lives of thousands of innocent people in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Ukraine, the neo-cons (such as Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland) and liberal interventionists (such as United Nations Ambassador Samantha Power) still cling to "regime change" as a viable policy.
Both schools of thought believe they can restore the United States' damaged credibility in the Middle East by vilifying Russian President Vladimir Putin and telling lurid tales of Assad's "barrel bombs" and human rights abuses. Both of them always assume the posture of taking the moral high ground. Yet they only choose to see "humanitarian disasters" when they fulfill some wider U.S. geostrategic objective.
We've been hit with a narrative that promotes U.S. power and influence but accepts zero responsibility for the consequences of its actions and those of its allies. Saudi Arabia is not only funneling arms and money to Sunni rebels in Syria and Iraq; it's using state-of-the-art American military technology in Yemen to blow to bits the Houthi and other Shia elements. The U.S. recently rewarded Saudi Arabia for its efforts with another billion-dollar arms deal.

The Pope is ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. Nobody with any human decency goes running all over the world and into other peoples faces with "This is MY SEXUAL BEHAVIOR". He deserves to be fired !!!!!!!
When it comes to alleged human rights vs. human decency, then human decency must preempt the alleged rights. And for the last 10 years, we have seen no human decency espoused by the US government, but rather a dictatorial agenda that rewards bad behavior on all fronts.

How about Lebanon? Would now not be a good time to chase out Hezbolla? Let them go to Syria, since we have already lost there. That would establish a clear line between Shiite and Sunni. If you do not, then Saudi Arbia, Egypt, Jordan, and Israel will be pissed. You need to stop the diversified national culture stupidity and start establishing clear cultural boundaries. If you have two kids fighting all the time, then you SEPARATE THEM.

There was no problem before RUssia hosted the Olympic games. Why is it so important that we have to tell others and be in their faces with our sex lives. If these people are being unjustly murdered that is one thing. But the hypocritical homosexual bull shit of today is UNWARRANTED. And it has destroyed the right to vote, the right for a Congress to make laws, the right for states to make laws and our democratic republic which is now being run by a few Lizzy Borden judges who are hacking up the Constitution to suit their own political views.

The war between Sunni Saudi Arabia and Shiite Iran has been going on for centuries. Do you really want to tolerate their intolerance in this country? When the money dries up, they will all go back to their intolerant Islamic roots, both demanding a theocracy & in defiance of a tolerant democratic Christianity. But quite obviously, there are those prideful governing megalomaniacs in this country who believe they can change people's heritage & mind-set. And they continue to engage us in ambitions and cultural prostitution which will ultimately destroy this country.
The only true leadership is one that sets an example, without compromising its own culture, and in an effort to attract foreigners to give up their past & voluntarily change their ways. And that example must go beyond the mere appeal to selfishness and material wealth. It must demonstrate that love and charity begin with others at home. That is not selfishness. That is properly placed loyalty and devotion to one's own and without which there is no trust-worthiness of anybody under any circumstances and anywhere. In any culture, the least trusted is the one who has betrayed his own kind.
The Pope may articulate the virtues of helping foreigners, but the fact is that if it means causing real harm to or unreasonable deprivation which severely impacts your more immediate loved ones, then you are betraying your alleged loved ones. Of course, you may falsely claim an undue hardship upon your loved ones, and that is selfishness which is using rather than loving. But if you look around this country, then you cannot help but see the need for attention at home. Road conditions and traffic are the most visible. Lack of water is becoming apparent. And citizens in huge numbers are still suffering from lack of employment. For foreigners to claim that charity at home is selfishness is in itself hypocritical and reflective of their own selfish desires to simply take what does not rightfully belong to them. Once they acquire the object that they covet, their tune quickly changes to "charity begins at home".
Foreigners should be welcomed to join, not to take over. And "joining" means "assimilating", demonstrating humility and respect, learning the governing language, and abiding by the laws without raising a stink unless a major injustice has been perpetrated. Unfortunately, there is very little of that shown by today's implants from other countries who are instead spoon fed by our prideful governing megalomaniacs engaged in the betrayal and prostitution of our cultural values for the selfish purposes of staying in power.

"Sen. John McCain said that the targets included U.S.-backed rebels". And does anybody know whose side those rebels are on? Syria was a secular country under Assad. Excluding any Kurds, 100 to 1 says those so-called rebels will establish a caliphate if they win. If they don't, they will certainly fall into the hands of radical muslims, just like Libya, just like Afghanistan is losing to Taliban again, just like Egypt temporarily fell to the Muslim Brotherhood, just like Iraq has lost to ISIS. And yet we still keep on trying the same old policies that keep on failing, ALL THE WHILE IGNORING THE MOST LOGICAL FORCE TO ASSUME CONTROL OF THE REGION, ie, THE KURDS, refusing them arms to fight ISIS and even joining with Turkey in shooting them in the back. ISIS has the best ally they could ask for......... US. And if we can't/won't beat ISIS, then we certainly cannot take on Russia (which we have no good reason to anyway).
Add to that the fact that we would rather deal with Iran (a major threat) than Assad (a non-threat), and you have the MOST SCREWED UP SELF-CONTRADICTING PRESIDENTIAL POLICIES TO EVER BE WITNESSED by the world.

ONE (1) word I did not hear in the Popes speech to Congress ----
"JUSTICE"
Without "justice" there is no real humanitarianism. Consider the movie High Noon. And it is high noon in the United States.
I don't declare myself a Christian. I am unfit to even presume I could be Christ like, nor should I ever aspire to be exactly like Christ. But I do declare that Jesus Christ Is Lord and King. You may think that sounds like a "Jesus Freak", but it is no different than chanting "Remember the Alamo" or "Remember Pearl Harbor". We remember Jesus Christ. Either you love Him or you don't. And if you love Him, then you obey Him. That is not a call to force Christianity upon non-believers. But clearly, this country has fallen into the hands atheists who do not love and obey Jesus Christ, who seek to impose their will upon others and who instead have overridden the will of the people and the will of Jesus Christ in advocating same-sex marriage. It is as simple as that.
The Pope may have a flock of followers who declare themselves to be Christian. But as long as they advocate same-sex marriage in violation of the Biblical teachings of Jesus Christ, then they cannot possibly be Christian. "Beware of wolves in sheep's clothing".

"Unselfishness" can be stupid, but "Stupidity" cannot be unselfish, because stupidity does not know the difference between selfishness and unselfishness, despite its claims to know.
Our human body is better "organized" than our government which fails to comprehend the meaning and benefits of cultural nationality and an immune system. Organs of the body do not allow cells from other organs to implant themselves. And so it should be with government and the military.We ought to take Obama's liver cells and transplant them into his heart. Oh what? Do you mean he has a SELFISH heart that would reject them?
If man is made in the image of God, then the word of God is also written in the human body, and we should pay attention in discussing human "organization" and its laws. When it comes to human rights, our own human body is the best model for adjudicating them. And if God's holy word were not written in the human body, then why else would homosexuality be wrong, because it is only God who outright rejects it.
Those who demand homosexuality argue that there in no God. If that is true, then how can they even claim their adversaries to be "mean spirited", since they don't even believe in spirits. And how can they claim to believe in a democratic republic when they go to great extents to overturn the will of the majority just to get their own way. They are nothing by outright manipulators and liars.

In the 1950's, we knew we could be shot at if we trespassed upon a dairy farm in search of wild pigeons. We knew we would be shot at by marines if we went under the fence to go surfing at Trestles. And you know what? We didn't. In those days, our government had the cojones to do its job and keep the law.
There are those today who would argue that shooting at kids was not right.
To them I say, those doing the shooting were of a generation that saved the world from Hitler. And look at what they produced. Are you really going to condemn those who gave you freedom? I'm not a patriot in the sense of one who has died for this country. I am not a flag waver. But I have respect for those who died on my behalf and the flag they fought to defend and the Cross under which they are buried. And I will continue to have respect long past any grave.
But I am not some damned fool either, and I am not a racist or xenophobe or any stupid label attributed to people like me by the give-me give-me people who call themselves humans. Today, our government calls us racists, lawless vigilantes and bigots and refuses to uphold the law when there is a greater need for it than ever before, with Mexican nationals attending our schools and raising the Mexican flag in place of our own and illegals marching up and down our streets. We don't have a government. We have a whiny phony self-righteous self-serving joke. Do you really think there is any credibility looking at a government fence that says "Keep out". Oh yeah, you might go to jail. But if there are enough of you, then you can over-stuff the prisons and they too become a joke.
"Ultimately, if you only uphold humanity without justice you become a treacherous person". Today we have a treacherous government.
And that is why Putin looks more like a leader than anyone else in this country.

What greater human right is there than for a person to keep their head attached to their body? And what greater justice is there than for a violator of this right to have his own head so removed as long as it glorifies the God of Jesus Christ and not the head taker?
"It is better to do evil than to be evil" - Dietrich Bonhoeffer. "Give unto Babylon twice the poison given you" - Rev 18-6. "By their fruits you will know them". "Be as wise as serpents and as crafty as wolves". "There is no greater love than that of a man who lays down his life for his friends" . "Pray for your enemies". "He who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven". What are we to make of these statements? They certainly do not mean offering up your children, family, friends, countrymen, and home land into the hands of wrong-doers. Would a just God who is also a father allow such to happen? The answer must be an unequivocal "NO".
When you have spiritual and moral values, if you seemingly violate them then it better be for a cause greater than yourself. And that cause better be on behalf of an Ultimate Father and His family who has written His morality in the hearts of His children and who is loving, discriminating, truthful, honest, just, fair, and giving to all of His children. His purpose is to have peace among all of His family members. Any behavior that is contrary to promoting that peace is met with correction that is truthful, discriminating, just and fair and does not allow the behavioral correction to exceed the wrongful behavior. At the same time, that justice does not simply ignore either the harm actually done or the potential for repetitive irreversible harm.
It is this last matter, ie, the potential for repetitive irreversible harm, which is contrary to the Ultimate Father's will, that invokes a call to correctional measures which would otherwise seem to contradict His will, ie, justifiable homicide. Were this not true, we humans, alleged to be made in His image, would not have an immune system. A living organism must have immune defenses to counter other destructive living organisms. That means "killing" another living thing.
So if you ever find yourself taking the life of another, just be sure that you are on solid moral ground and that you have done so on behalf the Ultimate Father and His Son, and not just for your own glorification. There is no joy and ought be no joy in killing another living thing. But there are times that call for its necessity. And it is time for ISIS and any radical Islamic to be killed. It is a cancer in the body of humanity that must be totally and completely destroyed forever, with those infected by its unholy teaching quarantined.

In the end, this country will either stand for truth, legitimate freedom, real justice, and a real democracy or it will not. In the meantime, there is going to be one hell of a war unless the courts begin properly interpreting the Constitution and the Bible, because as long as the courts are concerned with "human rights", they are imposing upon widely spread and long held moral principles and religion that go beyond the borders of this country. No one said the Constitution does or should apply beyond our country's borders, except maybe those who seek to acquire more power.
That being said, the Constitution should be the "law of the land".
But it should avoid putting itself at odds with the basic teachings of Christianity unless there is some gross and wrongful imposition demanded by Christian teaching. Therefore, in interpreting the words of the Constitution, those doing so better be as well studied in the Bible as in the Constitution.
Today there is no such deprivation of rights imposed by Christianity. Unlike the Islamic religion, to abide by Christian teaching is a matter of individual conscience and choice. Yet it is very obvious that those sitting on high in the Supreme Court are willfully, arrogantly, pridefully, and unjustly interpreting the Constitution without even giving the slightest credibility to the Bible, a document that teaches morality and has been the work of millions (if not billions) of people throughout history. As a result, Christianity is again being place on trial by a handful of people as if Christianity is the enemy, along with the mindsets that have evolved out of the historical trial and errors of mankind's search for justice. The retrograde courts may wish to attack Christianity. But quite frankly, it reflects a mentality that will ultimately fold as it always has in the past after causing so much unnecessary trouble.

"Spooked by Russia's annexation of Crimea, Poland and the Baltic states have repeatedly asked NATO to station forces permanently in their territories"
As they say "Turn about is FAIR PLAY". And it was not Russia who failed to demilitarize Europe. The WARSAW PACT was dissolved, BUT NATO STAYED IN PLACE AND EXPANDED. Afterall, you don't expect those military commanders to receive their pink slips and lose their pay.

Just returned from our association's meeting with five local government officials regarding the coyote infestation we have within our walled community. And the answer was the same as THE UNIVERSAL STANDARD GOVERNMENT ANSWER we always get, "THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT". From purging coyote packs and ducks from the pools, to prosecuting renters growing marijuana in a rental property and trashing it, to prosecuting and curtailing a million dollar real estate fraud involving hundreds of investors, to executing well proven murderers or even keeping them in jail for a respectable time, to keeping our borders safe from illegal migrants , to keeping private individual tax records safe, to even keeping federal employee records safe, to effectively wiping out the most evil culture of radical Islam, and on ..........
The answer is ALWAYS THE SAME, ie, "WELL THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT". We don't have a government We have a welfare state for those fortunate enough to work on the government roles. IT IS A COMPLETE JOKE.
But by God, they sure can dish out the labels and criticize anyone wanting to correct the situation.

More YATA, YATA, YATA about Trump. People are so distracted by their hatred for Trump that they do not listen to what he says. With respect to the migration issue, HE SAID "Illegals can be sent home WITH HEART". AND THAT IS TRUE. They can be given choices to contribute to our culture (like joining or being drafted into military service) or go home. They can be made to pay taxes so high they would have to go home. Businesses can be prevented from hiring illegals. etc, etc. BUT FIRST YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE WILL TO SEND THEM HOME. AND IF THE GOVERNMENT WONT DO THAT, THEN YOU MIGHT AS WELL SHUT DOWN YOUR GOVERNMENT, BECAUSE IT IS NOT DOING ITS JOB.

With the "holier than thou" self righteous universal human rights clamoring, a NEW WORLD DISORDER has emerged. And out of lack of foresight, violence and disruption of the peace will come resulting in further cultural clashes, police confrontations, and escalating mutual injustices.
Having a common currency is one thing. But to group the member countries under one political umbrella is just plain dumb, because the richest member will dictate what the other members should do with respect to their individual management. And if it does not come from the richest member state, it will come from a small panel of judges who wish to impose their views on everyone else.
This immediate invasive migration problem is the direct fault of the UN court which follows the rulings of the US court and demanded that the member states let down their safeguards against such invasion. But the originating causes can be found in the international policies of the GWB and Obama administrations following the lead of the liberal California State Supreme Court in overturning referendum and legislation dealing with illegal migrants in the 1990's. Since that time, more and more citizen rights as defined by the Constitution have been denigrated in deference to illegal occupation.
Our social laws ought to take a hint from the human body which is arrange into groupings of specialized organs. The cells of one organ are considered foreign to the cells of the other organs. T-CELLS exist for the purposes of killing invading foreign cells. To say that any cell from one organ has the right to invade and dwell in another organ is indicative of a complete absence of any mentality what-so-ever. To not acknowledge and reflect this in human organization is simply stupid. And if the God of Jesus Christ created the human body in His image, then His Word is also written in the human body, and we should take heed.
In his book, MERE CHRISTIANITY, C. S. Lewis writes - "You might think love of humanity as an absolute moral guide is safe, but it is not. If you leave out true justice you will find yourself breaking agreements and faking evidence in trials 'for the sake of humanity', and become in the end a cruel and treacherous person". Indeed, today we see this to be true of the judges sitting on high in our courts, both US and UN. They twist the meaning of the Constitution and rule in favor of alleged universal human rights, but there is no true justice and fair accountability for wrong behavior that has imposed upon and caused the expense of others. And when the judiciary overturns not only the will of the people, but the will of its elected Congress and States, cruelty and treachery are at hand, exactly as C. S. Lewis said.
Obama is quoted as saying "You did not create that. It was the result of someone else." In accordance with his quote, the citizens of this country and the citizens of European nations did not create this hateful mess of cultural conflicts. Our courts did along with the executive branch. And they should have known better. Furthermore, they should pay for it out of their own political hides. But with the judiciary and executive branches washing each others hands, they know they can get away with it, leaving the citizen not only screwed out of his democratic republic, but sodomized as well. (Probably this is the new interpretation of WASHING-ton.)

Florina's tough talk on international issues is VERY SCARY, along with all of the other conventional war hawks. It is one thing to have a military force. It is quite another to be able to apply it at the right time against the right enemy and for the right duration, and without threatening to use it over the slightest international disagreements. Right now, Barack Obama has us becoming engaged in conflicts that DO NOT THREATEN OUR NATIONAL SECURITY, IE, THE UKRAINE AND ATTEMPTS TO OUT ASSAD IN SYRIA. His "holier than thou" attitude has spread global tension and diluted the efforts against ISIS. Loose cannons on the deck with their red herrings cause more world wide trouble that peace. So to just say "We are going to have the most powerful force on the planet, and we are going to throw it at anybody we think is violating alleged humans rights" is just plain old reckless and stupid. You must prioritize your enemies and focus upon the very worst before dealing with the others. Today ISIS is clearly our worst enemy. But the efforts to defeat it have been token efforts. And if you defeat your worst enemy, you don't claim victory and pull out. That is unfair to the troops who fought to win it. IF YOU HAVE TO, YOU OCCUPY THE ENEMIY'S TERRITORY UNTIL THEY START SEEING THINGS YOUR WAY WITHOUT QUESTION. Only fools rush in and rush immediately out. And only fools leave their back door opened while sitting on the front porch with their shot gun.
Surprisingly, Donald Trump appeared very astute, pointing out that all of the talk about Russia, Assad, and Iran pales in comparison to the deafening silence on the nut job running N. Korea who in fact does have nuclear weapons and keeps threatening to use them. Both Trump and Carson demonstrated greater rationality than any of the other candidates, with Trump saying he could deal with Putin and indicating he would join with Russia in defeating ISIS. Most of the other candidates adhered to the old standard military tough talk in dealing with any nation perceived to be doing bad things in their eyes. The definition of insanity is repeating over and over the same mistakes you made in the past. And we have been doing that quite well since the invasion of Iraq.

Given historical record keeping and now DNA, the genealogy of biological relationships is becoming more and more complete. But what about the genealogy of spiritual relationship? One might suspect that it is tied closely with biological relationships. However, that might not always be true when children split away from their parents, either due to circumstances or another more dominant influence. How does one trace that? Might one suspect that there is ultimately some tie back to opposing spiritual forces/influences? Certainly there must be some spiritual evolution going on in each individual life.

Since 2000 this country has been subjected to the MOST STUPID GOVERNANCE AND JUDICIARY IN ITS SHORT HISTORY. Neither the GWB nor the Obama administration will consent to calling the ongoing conflict with radical Islam exactly what it is, ie, a war against radical Islam, despite the continuing Islamic escalation of global problems since the late 1970's . Yet neither administration has no problem in labeling its concerned citizenry as "bigots", "islamaphobes" , "lawless vigilantes" and a host of other insults.
The invasion of Iraq under GWB and the refusal of GWB to secure our borders were very stupid moves. But the failures and stupidity of the Obama administration out-shine by far those of the GWB administration. The policies of the Obama administration have consistently led to the growth (not the defeat) of radical Islam. We have seen it in Libya, we have seen it in Egypt (who was smart enough to ignore the Obama Admin), we have seen it in Syria, we have seen it in Kurdistan, and we have seen it in Turkey. Obama's failures have been due to the consistent failure to support any efforts which are not of its own making to subdue the ultimate enemy, radical Islam. This is indicative of an arrogant pride that cuts off its nose to spite its face. In its refusal to join in a common effort to defeat ISIS, Obama will persist in muddying the world tensions by raising ridiculous objections cloaked in the guise of self-righteous indignation over issues like same-sex marriage and other alleged universal human rights.

It can't/won't do anything about illegals coming into the country, it has deliberately misread the Constitution in order to create meaningless laws that protect wrong doers and stupid behavior, it can't find the will to correctly fight the most insidious violations against humanity by a culture that endorses beheading and suicide bombing, its post office cannot ship anything without breaking it, and now it takes a Federal investigation to prosecute even the most obvious law breaking, civilian endangering speed racers. Those in power claim to be in control, but quite obviously they invariably opt for the easy way out of their doing their duties to the citizens of this country. And they are really great at name calling, labeling, propagandizing, finger pointing, demonizing low hanging fruit, slandering, war mongering and creating smoke screens to protect and enhance the perception of their own political hides.

When Russia was an atheistic state, it was deserving of condemnation and hatred. But Russia (and its people) is no longer an atheistic state, nor is it an Islamic state. It is a Christian democratic state, with it (and consequently its people) deserving of forgiveness. Yet those in this country who seek to compete in the spot-light against their more righteous international detractors and those in NATO for whom peace holds a pink slip would insist upon continuing the cold war

WISHFUL THINKING?
Is the wishful belief in Jesus Christ and the Bible any less credible than the wishful belief in universal human rights? You can believe in human rights without believing in Jesus Christ. But you cannot believe in Jesus Christ and the Bible without believing in the morally correct universal human rights, because Jesus Christ was the ultimate advocate and moral authority of non-hypocritical and consistent reasoning regarding human rights, over and above any judge and jury. WE ARE PERSUADED, not because Jesus Christ may appear weak and non-threatening, but because HE WAS RIGHT AND CORRECT. And if you believe in Jesus Christ, then you must love and obey His Father and the Bible, not some phony man-made human rights and not some phony Islamic prophet who did not follow Jesus Christ.
It behooves any country/nation to formulate its constitution as close to the Bible as possible and stick to it without mandating and forcing its populace into a common/universal belief in the God of Jesus Christ, leaving that choice up to each individual. The God of Jesus Christ is a democratic God. Given history, to deviate from this path in constitutional law is unwise, with historical wisdom preempting current-day human reasoning, unless there is some compelling current state (such as global over-population or unjust hypocritical oppression) to deviate from the historical wisdom. But mere changes in social status for the alleged sake of equality are not compelling reasons to deviate from historical wisdom. And the most recent court rulings regarding same-sex marriage ARE IN DIRECT CONFLICT WITH THE AUTHORITY OF JESUS CHRIST.

It is highly doubtful that if Russia were doing anything underhanded that they would be willing to tell us exactly what they are doing. The war hawks against Russia are just that, "war hawks" who would irresponsibly have us involved in war with Russia while ISIS (IS STUPID IS SATAN) would make out like a bandit. Russia, at its heart, is Christian. The Crimean War of the 1850's was basically a religious war between Christian sects, just as the more recent terrorism in Ireland was between Christian sects. Christians around the world need to recognize they have just one enemy,ie, radical Islam. And we can thank ISIS for bringing that to the forefront.

Our government only screws things up worse. They screwed up Iraq. They screwed up Libya. They tried to screw up Egypt. They are trying to screw up the Ukraine. And now they have screwed up the Kurds. Everywhere this administration has engaged in has done nothing but destabilize existing government and unleashed civil wars, and nearing that point in this country. But there is no shortage of arrogance here.

Given the US government's foul ups in not fully arming and supporting the Kurds and joining with Turkey in murdering the Kurds, this is probably the only remaining viable option for defeating ISIS, the ultimate enemy.

Remembering the words to "What Kind Of Fool Am I".
Is euphoric love "real" love? Having lived through decades of experiencing "euphoric" love, the answer for me is "no". Euphoric love ("falling" in love") is fanciful love and always fades away, meaning it is not real love. Real love is of a parental lasting quality, one that is steadfast and endures, even after all of the warm fuzzy feelings have subsided. And that kind of love is not unconditional, but is forgiving up to a point and is real as long as it does not exceed love of Jesus Christ..
I fear that those seeking to "marry" one of the same sex have deluded themselves with respect to what is "real" love and what is not. It is not necessary to "marry" in order to love or care for another. Jesus Himself proclaimed "There is no marriage in Heaven".
Implicit in the meaning of "love" is the word "eternal", something all human beings desire. (We are all conservative in that respect). However, the only game in town for anything coming close to "eternal" is the offering of Jesus Christ. You might dismiss that as being irrelevant in your current day world of affairs. But at some point you will find yourself either accepting that, or condemning it with your dying breath. And if you ultimately condemn it, then just exactly who are the real "hate mongering bigots" in the world?

The MIGRATION CRISIS
If you cannot handle and assure the QUALITY, then you should NOT HANDLE THE QUANTITY. How many of the migrating Syrians are actually responsible for the downfall of their own country?
It is time that the nations of this world begin to implement programs of HUMAN CAPACITY PLANNING. That includes supporting planned parenthood, moral sex education and methods of contraception that are PRO-ACTIVE and not after-the fact. Failure to do so puts the blame for over-population and refugee migration squarely on the shoulders of the culture breeding out of control. To not do so is just plain stupid and irresponsible. If children cannot be fed, than they must not be bred. Nor should children be used as a justification for improving one's cultural advantages at the expense of another culture.

We have just ONE ENEMY in the Middle East, RADICAL ISLAM, which means ISIS and ALQUEDA. ISIS IS THE WORST. Given that information, it should be clear that any force fighting radical Islam is on our side.
We have ONLY ONE ALLY fighting ISIS, and that is the KURDS.
From the beginning of the invasion of Iraq by ISIS, the Kurds have been the only successful combatants to counter ISIS. But NOT TURKEY.
AND YET OUR STUPID GOVERNMENT IS ALIGNING ITSELF WITH TURKEY WHICH VIOLATED A PEACE ACCORD WITH THE KURDS AND BEGAN SHOOTING THEM IN THE BACK. Turkey did not take immediate steps to combat ISIS. It is more likely that Turkey is aligned with ISIS. If anything, Turkey should be thrown out of NATO. They are NO FRIEND OR ALLY. To engage in activity with them is to approve treachery.
With respect to the Syria migrant crisis, the question should be, WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS? Clearly Syria's president, B. ASSAD, is fighting against ISIS. And as much as the propaganda rants against him, he is not the ultimate evil in the region. After all, it was the Syrian people who rose up against Assad and created the environment conducive to ISIS entering the fray. So the responsibility must be with the Syrian people themselves, not necessarily the president. That being the case, and since Russia is also against ISIS, then Russia's support of Assad is reasonable and correct.
NO MATTER HOW MUCH OUR PRIDEFUL MILITARY AND POLITICIANS COMPLAIN ABOUT RUSSIA, IRAN, AND ASSAD, THOSE HOLIER THAN THOU CRITICS SHOULD NOT FORGET JUST ONE THING, THE ULTIMATE ENEMY OF ALL IS ISIS AND RADICAL ISLAM.

There is a perception that religious people are ancient, dumb and backwards, given that the Constitution was written a little more than 200 years ago. Todays modern day US citizen, with all of the advancements in technology and science, tends to be rather prideful and arrogant when it comes to opinion. Man's greatest sin is not sex or money. IT IS UNJUSTIFIED PRIDE that exceeds the wisdom of God. And that is where we are today. The inhabitants of this country may claim to be more advanced and smarter than God. BUT WHAT CAN BE MORE BACKWARDS AND STUPID THAN SODOMY, a practice that has been around since the beginning of man. Add on top of that the arrogance and pride displayed throughout this same-sex debate, and you have the justifications for the ruin of this country. Lots of luck with your fight against the God of Jesus Christ.
Meanwhile, the Islamics do not believe in the same God as Jesus Christ. The character of their God is a misplaced, destructive dark power claiming to be God. That "god" is to be condemned and rejected.
Ultimately, those who reject the God of Jesus Christ and are deliberately disobedient to His will, along with the Islamic god, will be defeated. and respectful human rationality will return. But until then, a lot of global chaos will ensue.

Considering the fact that the US military has suggested the idea of using Al Queda to defeat ISIS, Putin's mentality makes a lot more sense than our country which has completely lost all of its senses. Of course it means giving into Iran somewhat, but that is better than our siding with Turkey who is murdering Kurds. THE BEST SOLUTION IS TO SUPPORT THE KURDS TO THE HILT.

Once again our so-called "intelligent" news media (along with so many people) fails to QUALIFY its words, thereby stirring up the fires of dissention. The title of this article should read "Are ILLEGAL Immigrants Really Freeloaders?"
The answer to the corrected question is "YES, ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ARE FREELOADERS!". And they should either be returned home or inducted into military service.
The failure to qualify words is just plain old laziness, in a manner similar to the driver changing lanes who is too damned lazy to raise his left arm to put on his blinker. Do we really want to be reading articles written by such STUPID INDISCRIMINATE people? But apparently they do have a wide following of stupid people like themselves, including judges.

This brave woman is now being faced with jail time and a fine (instead of being fired) for not doing what she knows is morally wrong. If anyone belongs in jail, it is the judges who have ABUSED THEIR POWER and VIOLATED OUR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC to force upon all their immorality.
And it is now clear why well proven murderers are not prosecuted to the full extent of the law, ie, capital punishment. What our legal system is doing is saving murderers for the purpose of threatening others to comply with what they claim to be the law. In this manner, those judges can absolve themselves of any responsibility for any harm done to an inmate at the hands of another inmate. This is worse than what the Romans did in keeping lions for devouring their political prisoners. The "democratic republic" and "justice for all" is an outright lie.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident". That means "FREEDOM OF CONSCIENCE", without which you are living in a tyranny run by those who interpret the Constitution to fit their own purposes. We have already bastardized the Constitution and kissed the "democratic republic" goodbye via the overturns of "Prop 8", DOMA and other state bans. The will of the people has been trodden upon numerous times. And yet those in power are not content unless they can dominate every aspect of the human body, psyche and soul by whatever coercive means available.
The Constitution can only apply to "citizens". It is not universal, nor should it be. Jesus Christ said "Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's. Render unto God what is God's". When there is a conflict of the two, it is the God of Christ that must and will prevail. If it is not the Father of Jesus Christ, then the state can prevail. In the case of homosexuality and same sex marriage, it clearly stands against the will of Jesus Christ and His Father. Such was NEVER THE INTENT of the Pilgrims in colonizing this country and NEVER THE INTENT of the Founding Fathers. Any individual advocating or believing otherwise is either a fool or an outright liar and thief of principles. Jesus Christ knows who those fools, liars, and thieves are who sit as judges in the court(s). Their own convictions are awaiting them in the courts of Christ.

THE REALITY OF BEING AND EXISTENCE.
All humans consider space to be the 3 dimensional "canvas" upon which the picture of reality is painted. Almost all (if not all) humans talk about points in space as if they are within the realm of reality. Yet no one has ever actually seen an individual infinitesimally small point is space or any result of its activity. Therefore, we must assume that, due to general agreement, points in space are within the realm of reality, but may not actually "exist", because they are "beings" that are not observable by other "beings".
We hypothesize a movable "singularity" to be an infinitesimally small, absolute and occupied point in space. We consider it to be in reality, but non-existent with respect to itself. And occupied by what, we know not. Regardless, a singularity must be indivisible and absolute. Furthermore, it can "be" in reality without actually "existing", because "existence" requires the presence of at least two or more singularities in a common space.
"Existence" must be the discernment (observation) of one singularity by another singularity relative to itself (ie, the observer). If we cannot see something or the results of its activity, then we are inclined to say that it does not exist. Thus, in order for a singularity to actually exist, it must be within the presence of another singularity. For there to be "existence", there must be more than just one singularity within a common space, where one singularity is the observer and the other(s) singularity(s) is (are) the observed. The observed singularity is said to exist in the eye of the observer singularity. "Existence" is relative, where a singularity is absolute.
Furthermore, the fact of one thing observing another in itself impacts the physical relationship between the two. It was Warner Heisenberg who first noted this in his Uncertainty Principle in trying to pin down the position of the electron inside the atom, giving rise to quantum mechanics.
Are we playing word games here? No, we are trying to have a clear understanding of our own physical, mathematical and abstract meanings in order to discuss and arrive at the truth of things in reality, noting that reality encircles existence, and not the other way around. We conclude that Reality is composed of two states, ie, the state of "being" and the state of "existence", where the state of "existence" requires two or more "beings".
We now address the issues of "motion" upon which "time" and possibly "direction" depends. We posit that "time" cannot exist without "motion". But motion of what relative to what? We have already stated that a singularity can move from point to point in space in the absence of any other singularity. Thus, there is no need for two singularities to exist in the eyes of each other in order for motion to be a reality. But is this linear motion the only type of motion there is?
Another thing science considers to be in reality is "Spin". "Spin" is "motion". In the real world of existence, "angular momentum" is considered to be the result of separated masses revolving about a common axis of "spin". And in the world of extremely small particles, a basic building block particle, the quark, is said to have "spin" unto itself. Might we not extend this concept to the singularity to say that it too could have "spin", thereby giving credence to the idea that it is "spin" which creates "time"? These are indeed challenging ideas to which we may never have the answers.
No matter, we now ask, "Can 2 singularities occupy the same point in space?". Intuitively, it would seem the only way for that to become possible is if they merge together , compress, and become one. And if that is possible, then would it not also be possible for one singularity to replicate itself to produce two separate singularities? This may be thinking of scientist who claim that something can be created from nothing.
HOWEVER, are such scientists really being fair in not considering the possible capabilities and characteristics of a singularity? Might we not hypothesize that a singularity could be nothing but pure energy devoid of mass? But then again, we might consider the possibility of space itself being created to such a large extent that a piece of existent matter becomes a singularity. This would amount to expanding the canvas of space wherein the existing entity within reality ceases to exist and is transformed into an absolute indiscernible entity that still "is" within reality.
When it comes to the "reality of being" (which we have distinguished from "existence") in the physical world, we have been talking in a physical sense. But C. S. Lewis talks about reality in a spiritual sense, using exactly the same logic and argument as that given for the reality of there actually being points in space. He says that every human being has the same common sense of what "ought" to be done in terms of dealing with each other, but that every human being always winds up breaking this commonly understood moral code at one time or another. That every human being acknowledges the existence of this moral code is proof of it's reality, whether they always follow it or not. Furthermore, this moral code can only be found in each human (not animal) individual within himself. Call it the common conscience. Lewis goes on to ultimately say that this common conscience is that of God.
So here, in the same manner as we reasoned the reality of a singularity, we have exactly the same and consistent way of reasoning the reality of a another type of non-physical "being" that some scientist choose to ignore and dismiss as poppy-cock. This indeed seems to be an extremely arrogant and hypocritical attitude, given that those same scientist can say that points in space actually "exist" and can call a photon both a wave and a particle, yet they cannot attribute a similar duality between the physical world and the spiritual world. And quite very possibly the difference between the two is that the physical world is in the state of "existence" within the realm of reality, where the spiritual world is in the state of "being" within the realm of reality.

When it comes to the "reality of being" (which we have distinguished from "existence") in the physical world, we have been talking in a physical sense. But C. S. Lewis talks about reality in a spiritual sense, using exactly the same logic and argument as that given for the reality of there actually being points in space. He says that every human being has the same common sense of what "ought" to be done in terms of dealing with each other, but that every human being always winds up breaking this commonly understood moral code at one time or another. That every human being acknowledges the existence of this moral code is proof of it's reality, whether they always follow it or not. Furthermore, this moral code can only be found in each human (not animal) individual within himself. Call it the common conscience. Lewis goes on to ultimately say that this common conscience is that of God.
So here, in the same manner as we reasoned the reality of a singularity, we have exactly the same and consistent way of reasoning the reality of a another type of non-physical "being" that some scientist choose to ignore and dismiss as poppy-cock. This indeed seems to be an extremely arrogant and hypocritical attitude, given that those same scientist can say that points in space actually "exist" and can call a photon both a wave and a particle, yet they cannot attribute a similar duality between the physical world and the spiritual world. And quite very possibly the difference between the two is that the physical world is in the state of "existence" within the realm of reality, where the spiritual world is in the state of "being" within the realm of reality.

They have just a few hundred thousand illegal migrants invade in Europe and they scream bloody murder. We have MILLIONS here in the US and nobody says anything. If we are going to be flooded with an unsustainable amount of migrants due to conditions in their own homeland, then maybe we ought to go to their homeland and start managing things for them there.

Maybe such jurors ought to have their legs blown off or their children murdered? God forbid and give these uninvolved by-standers a little more compassion for the victims instead of the criminal. When it comes to "EQUALITY OF TREATMENT" there is none for the victims. But we can certainly demand "EQUALITY" for our sexual preferences. Is there not something seriously wrong with this picture that almost justifies this creep's actions?

Images of things to come in a world that will not control its birth rate.It makes one wonder if people in backward countries don't have children merely for the sake of getting someone else to support them. Why do they continue to have children if they cannot feed them or if they are living under a dangerous regime and when there are contraceptive methods now available? Of course, if their means are unjustly taken from them after having children in their homeland, then that is reason to go after and prosecute the criminals depriving them of their livelihood. And if the regime in control of their homeland won't go after such criminals, then that is grounds for war with the country(s) whose negligence impacts other countries.

Anyone who says they do not hate something is a liar. The question is, "Is the hatred justified"? In their reporting, news media should report the conflicts without forming judgments of their own.

My Search
I believe I was born with a sense of fairness, but then I can't
substantiate that entirely. At the age of 9 I do recall befriending
a kid who was ridiculed and ostracized by the other kids, but that
does not conclusively prove anything. I was definitely born with a sense of fear, of what I do not know, but possibly failure. Upon first entering school I became the target of an older bully, but by 4th grade I had earned his respect through sports, cub scouts and a brief confrontation. I did get into a fight with his younger brother who was my age and gave him a bloody nose. But quite frankly, the win did not feel good to me, so I went and apologized.
I was not a great student in elementary school, but not a bad one either. My first exposure to church left a very bad taste in my mouth. I said to myself, "If that is religion then who needs it".
And I did do my share of mischief along with the kid I had beat up, only to get caught by our parents. My father told me he was spanking me not for what I had done, but for lying to him. That lesson I never forgot.
When I hit middle school, I began to show academic skills.
Why, I do not know. At the same time I began to become interested in romantic love and girls. At the age of 13, my mother gave me a Bible which I had set the goal for myself to read clear through in one summer. But after seeing one begat after another begat, I gave it up. Probably a big mistake and a character flaw that would haunt me at several points in my life. Through middle school, my academics excelled, and I found myself becoming popular, though I could not understand why.
Upon entering high school, the counselor had me lay out a 4-year plan which I in fact stuck to with little change. And I continued all the way through, each year being an honor student. However, not all was appearing to be well with me. In prior years I had done very well at flag football. But upon going out for the football team in the sophomore year, I found myself coming home in tears, because I wanted to quit, which I did. I felt like a total failure. I subsequently went out for tennis where I did not exactly shine either. It was not until the senior year that I discovered my track and distance running ability which helped to recover my damaged self esteem. Of course there were dates which always fizzled and that didn't help the self esteem either, but it was probably all for the
better in the long run.
Finally, I went away to a university with great expectations for academic success. The freshman year grades were not stellar as they had been in high school. And in the sophomore year I contracted hepatitis which necessitated cutting back on some classes. And then came the 4th semester and 'whamo', I found my nerves going out of control with shaking and embarrassment. I began asking for God's help, but to no avail. It was such a distraction that I withdrew from school and wanted to end my life. Today, what I had would probably be labeled as SAD, Social Anxiety Disorder.
That summer I convalesed busying myself with chores and projects around my parent's house and working at a fishing club on the bay. By the end of summer, I reentered college at the local school and resumed my recovery while going to a psychiatrist. I resumed running cross country and track which helped settle my nervous/anxious spirit. I still was not shining academically as before. But I was making it well enough to reenter the university the next year.
In that following summer, I met my first wife to be, and we were married in October as I was attending the university. It had been my original plan to be only engaged until I finished school. But circumstances with the fiancee's family and what we were doing expedited the matter. And no, it was not a shotgun wedding. No matter, it was a terrible concession for me to make that resulted in disturbances in the studies to the extent that I again withdrew from school just before semester end.
I then went to work at a real job in aerospace and I began to get enormously better. There is an amazing difference between being surrounded by mature adults engaged in a common effort as opposed to a bunch of ivory tower self absorbed academic students. Even despite having severe problems in the marriage with an immediate divorce pending in the first year, I was for the first time in my life making it on my own. And I was ectatic. Meanwhile, my wife and I were back together and on the road to parenthood. I joined Toast Masters and continued on in night school to learn accounting and computer programming.
Had I finally grown up? Not quite. I was still pretty ignorant of WWII, the plight of the African American, and world affairs in general. The only thing I knew was that the Korean War had settled down, but that we were in a cold war with Russia in a nuclear age. And the Watts Riot really irritated me. When it came to the Vietnam War, I was in support of it, tried unsuccessfully to enlist, and thought the protesters were nuts. Yet I was idealistic in believing that even capital punishment was wrong. And Japan, China and Germany were still simply terrible countries. It might be said that throughout all of this growing period, I was probably self absorbed with zero interest in religion or trying to understand the life of Jesus Christ. As far as I was concerned, God had let me down way back when.
At the age of 29, my wife and I ended it, at which point other workers and roommates encouraged me to really begin seeking Christ. So I did, but not without more severe problems than one would expect in a normal life which were not of my own making, and not without cursing God every now and then, only to resume my continued search for answers.
Finally after years and years, the big picture is beginning to all make sense, although human behavior does not. It is not God's fault. And to some extent, many of my own problems may be my own fault for not continuing what I had started way back years ago when my mother first gave me that Bible which I had pledged to read straight through. Am I grown up yet? Only time will tell.
Oh, by the way, about that psychiatrist I went to as a young adult. He recently went to jail for partnering with another pedofile patient who was staying with him to victimize a young boy they had lured into their house. My advice is to conduct your search with the right people, in the right places, and with the right guide books. I think I have at least managed to find those after a few errors in judgment along the way.
So that is my spiritual story. And I hope that it will give you some encouragement to tread on in your search. God Bless and Good Luck.

Politicians would argue that the reason for illegal migrants is due to their homeland not providing enough for them. Yet they entirely avoid the real reason which is that people have more children than they can possibly support. And nobody wants to tell others that they cannot have children. But the day is coming when humans will be shoulder to shoulder and occupy every inch of terra firma. One person's alleged rights to have children is quickly becoming another person's depravity in that it depletes natural resources and encroaches upon the homelands of those who have been more prudent.
If you cannot feed them, then don't breed them. That is the only way to avoid the ultimate human conflict and resulting mass suffering. Planned parenthood may have its detraction with respect to abortion, but in the long run workable methods of contraception and/or abstinence is the solution to avoiding the most obvious of train wrecks already underway.

Thought for the day: Forgiveness is a force that counteracts what would otherwise be out of control forces of destruction. An airplane that goes into a tail spin can be called forgiving when it recovers from the fall. But once it crashes then it is too late for forgiveness to prevent or repair the damage. And so it is with humans.
Once an innocent life has been snuffed out, there is no recovery or repair possible. The best that can be done is to see to it that it never happens again. And yet we know that it will happen over and over again, because history tells us so, and because some jurists and some politicians in government abandon their duties in making any attempts at eliminating the initiating source of destruction and instead divert the blame and put the responsibility for correction elsewhere. Guns don't murder. Humans do. And as long as they are alive, caged murderers who have not been conclusively mentally altered will always have the possibility of escape, because there is no amount of viable guarantee to keep them in prison by a government that can't/won't even secure its own borders. Recent breakouts both in the US and Mexico have demonstrated that.
But what about forgiveness of such murderers? Even Jesus Christ said, "There is no forgiveness for those who speak against the Holy Spirit". And since actions do speak louder than words, one might conclude that unjust murder is a form of blasphemy. Furthermore, Rev 18-6 says to give twice the poison given to you. So humans are not expected to offer unconditional forgiveness. Only God is in charge of that department. And if you recall, it was God who made provisions for just capital punishment.
So if you want yourself to replace God, then go ahead and become a sleazy politician or jurist pretending to have the absolute power of unconditional forgiveness. But just remember, how you treat others, including innocent victims, will determine how you are treated. If you turn a blind eye to victims and the suffering of their families, so too will a blind eye be turned to you in your suffering. If you, in the remoteness of your proximity to the crime, choose to spare one well proven murderous individual and expose the rest of society to potential further harm by that individual, then so too will society be justified in exposing you in such a manner when the murderer is closer to home. But then we already know that this is not the way it works in government where officials are offered far more protection than the average citizen. The White House would never allow an illegal to trespass onto its lawn.

THE ULTIMATE GOOD PARENT
The path to real Christianity is a long and arduous one, and best described by C. S. Lewis in his book "Mere Christianity". In it he holds that love is not love unless you believe in absolute good parenthood. He clearly states that you cannot love others unless you love yourself, and that you cannot love yourself if you do not love the Ultimate Good Parent, the God and Father of Jesus Christ. Lewis concludes that you cannot love the Ultimate Good Parent unless you obey Him.
In accordance with his premise, most people would agree that the mere fact of being a biological parent does not necessarily make for a "good" parent. And being a "good" parent does not just mean providing your children with physical things. So there must be something more beyond the physical world that induces "goodness" in a parent, and that something is spiritual in nature which has a personal parental character and is absolute. (In his book, Lewis begins by examining the reality of the existence of this universal parental character, but that is not the purpose here. For the veracity of the existence of the Christian God, read the beginning chapters of Mere Christianity which evolve from Lewis's own atheistic point of view.)
The question then becomes, what is the quality of that absolute parental character that induces goodness. To answer this question we must first
identify those for whom Christianity has no meaning. Clearly there is a distinct difference between the Islamic faith and the Christian faith with respect to the makeup of that absolute parental character, because the Islamics do not accept the goodness and forgiveness of Jesus Christ as God in the flesh. Then there are those on the other side of the fence, ie the atheists, who (in their laziness) claim Christianity to be a cult while they themselves engage in their own secular cults (ie, tatooiing, astrology, football, golf, jewelry, dresses, computers, bridge, politics, government, law, courts, movies, etc). Neither the Islamic nor the atheist believe in a loving God, ie the Ultimate Good Parent. So there is no need in discussing the path to Christianity for those who do not accept Christianity anyway. It is a mere waste of time. But what about those who do have an interest in following the path of Jesus Christ? What is their view of the qualities of the Ultimate Good Parent?
Most if not all would agree that a "good" parent is one who: 1. provides the physical necessities required for his/her children, and 2. maintains a watchful eye against potential harm to his/her children. So there is no argument here. But beyond that, some would say that a good parent offers unconditional love to his/her children no matter what their behavior or how they treat other people. Meanwhile others would say that mild discipline short of abuse which requires the withholding of love is necessary to teach proper social behavior.
So which is it for the Christian, unconditional love or conditional love that teaches on behalf of a greater purpose and exceeds the worldly whims of the individual child? According to Lewis and the Bible, the answer is with the parent who most loves his/her Christian Father in Heaven even more than his/her own children, because in loving the Christian Father it then becomes possible to truly love one's own children and others as well. So it would seem that offering unconditional love to one's own children is incorrect in that the relationship eventually evolves into the children becoming the parents and the parents becoming subservient to the children. And this is certainly not a normal state of affairs or one which is condoned by the Ultimate Good Parent, ie, God, who tells us to honor our parents.
In other words, as Christians we are to be subservient to our parents, and our parents are to be subservient to the Ultimate Good Parent, ie , the God of Jesus Christ, and not the other way around. Our required subservience to Him is not one of brutality and slavery, but one of real love, respect and freedom.
In addition, it should be clear that one of the jobs of the "good" Christian parent is to introduce his/her children to the ways of the Christian God without being coercive, thereby leaving it up to the child upon adulthood to either accept or reject the Ultimate Good Parent who waits for acknowledgement and ready to continue the parenting. But if the child, as an adult, rejects the Ultimate Good Parent, then the child's biological parent is duty bound to hold true to loving and obeying his Ultimate Good Parent in preference to loving his adult child unconditionally. This may sound harsh or even contradictory, but consider the parent who has two or more adult children in which one of the children is disobedient to the Ultimate Good Parent where the others are obedient. Given the inequality in behavior, is it truly fair to afford equal love to all? It would seem that the answer is "no". But the ultimate remedy would be in the forgiveness by the Ultimate Good Parent of the disobedient child should he or she become repentant of their behavior. This is the miracle of Christianity which is not to be found anywhere else.
The path to real Christianity is a long and arduous one, and best described by C. S. Lewis in his book "Mere Christianity". In it he holds that love is not love unless you believe in absolute good parenthood. He clearly states that you cannot love others unless you love yourself, and that you cannot love yourself if you do not love the Ultimate Good Parent, the God and Father of Jesus Christ.

And this is certainly not a normal state of affairs or one which is condoned by the Ultimate Good Parent, ie, God, who tells us to honor our parents.
In other words, as Christians we are to be subservient to our parents, and our parents are to be subservient to the Ultimate Good Parent, ie , the God of Jesus Christ, and not the other way around. Our required subservience to Him is not one of brutality and slavery, but one of real love, respect and freedom.
In addition, it should be clear that one of the jobs of the "good" Christian parent is to introduce his/her children to the ways of the Christian God without being coercive, thereby leaving it up to the child upon adulthood to either accept or reject the Ultimate Good Parent who waits for acknowledgement and ready to continue the parenting. But if the child, as an adult, rejects the Ultimate Good Parent, then the child's biological parent is duty bound to hold true to loving and obeying his Ultimate Good Parent in preference to loving his adult child unconditionally. This may sound harsh or even contradictory, but consider the parent who has two or more adult children in which one of the children is disobedient to the Ultimate Good Parent where the others are obedient. Given the inequality in behavior, is it truly fair to afford equal love to all? It would seem that the answer is "no". But the ultimate remedy would be in the forgiveness by the Ultimate Good Parent of the disobedient child should he or she become repentant of their behavior. This is the miracle of Christianity which is not to be found anywhere else.

Hypocrisy may very well find its origins in THE PREDICAMENT OF BEING A PARENT WITH A DISOBEDIENT ADULT CHILD. According to Biblical text, Adam and Eve were in this position when their son Caine murdered their son Abel. The dilemma for the parent is what to do regarding their own son who has committed this crime.
It is not uncommon for the parent of an adult child accused of murder to defend their child to the hilt regardless of the veracity of the crime and regardless of the number of people murdered. By the same token today, many parents will defend their adult child's engagement in homosexual activity. In either case, both refuse to acknowledge the incorrectness of the behavior and no matter who else or what else is impacted.
At the heart of the matter is the teaching of Jesus Christ and an apparent conflict in teachings. Is REAL love to be conditional or unconditional? To any student of Biblical scripture it should be obvious that the laws of Moses were not categorically overturned by Jesus. And it should be obvious that children are to "honor" their parents in the tradition of their parents who in turn are admonished to honor their Loving Father, God, (even more than their own children) by following the laws of Moses. The laws of Moses are understood to be for the betterment of society as a whole. And yes, some of the more specific laws may have become obsolete. But the basic principles remain.
So did Jesus teach that we are to love everybody and everything regardless of their behavior and acts? The answer must be "no'. Therefore, love is not unconditional, but requires discipline.
The fact is, parents are allotted only so much time to rear and discipline their children. During that time, they are responsible for their child's behavior. However, once the child has attained adulthood, then the child is responsible for his/her own actions, and the parents are off the hook, unless of course the child is permanently disabled. That being said, it becomes the parent's responsibility to regard their child just as they would any other human being. And if that means applying God's laws to their adult child for improper behavior, then that is what the parent should do. Unfortunately, today there are too many parents who are unwilling to let their adult child suffer the consequences of improper behavior.
The message of the Bible is perfectly clear. REAL LOVE REQUIRES JUST AND REASONABLE DISCIPLINE. It is not to be sadistic or masochistic. On the other hand, it is not to be doating, overly protective, overly solicitous, etc.

In accordance with Obama's own words, "the revolutionary attacks in Turkey were not created by the revolutionmaries". They were created by Obama and Turkey attacking the Kurds who had previously agreed to a cease fire in 2013 and have been the most effective force against ISIL. SO JUST EXACTLY WHOSE FAULT IS IT? AS THE SANTA MARIA POLICE CHIEF SAID "THERE IS A BLOOD TRAIL FROM WASHINGTON DC DIRECTLY TO THE MURDER OF A WOMAN IN HER OWN HOME BY AN ILLEGAL".

Given the shootings of children by children at schools and given the controversy over gun control, would it not make sense to charge with a felony any parent whose minor child is found to have access to a gun? This would not directly effect the rights of adult gun ownership.
By the same token, should not the government itself be charged with a felony if any convicted murderer is found to be in possession of a gun? If the government seeks to impose restrictions upon gun ownership by citizens, THEN IT IS THE GOVERNMENT'S DUTY TO PROPERLY DISPOSE OF WELL PROVEN MURDERERS AS WELL AS ILLEGAL FOREIGNERS. AND IF THE GOVERNMENT ALLOWS WELL PROVEN MURDERERS TO ESCAPE OR BE RELEASED, THEN THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE LIABLE TO FAMILIES OF THE VICTIMS OF THE ESCAPED MURDERERS. But then we all know how poorly the government does its job anyway.

This is the kind of crap the liberal media now sees fit to publish, including Yahoo (Disney ABC owned). It is the kind of crap homosexuals and atheists endorse. It is the kind of crap that cheap idealists support. It is the kind of crap that amounts to slander. The fact is, Evangelical Christians (Billy Graham style) read and study their Bibles in great detail as a guide for their personal lives. And they know that Jesus Christ condemned homosexual activity and that this government is morally wrong and hypocritical. Yes there are some self serving Christian leaders, but as with any other group there are a few bad apples that do not represent the entire group. The difference is that such leaders are not defended or mommy coddled. The average length of a Christian pastor is now 5 years, due to the great difficulties in keeping in tune with the teachings of Christ while serving in a hypocritical secular society. However, there is a greater trust among members that exceeds any trust in a secular society, because the members know who their ultimate real leader is..

How many more times is the US going to ask the Kurds to take a stand and fight on behalf of the US and then sodomize them? It happened back in Desert Storm and now it is happening again.

The Iranian Nuclear Deal - Good or Bad? Does it give too much away or is it a bridge to trust and world peace? This remains to be seen.
HOWEVER, looking at the balance of power in the Middle East as a whole, the following would seem to be true:
1. Israel, Egypt, Jordan & Saudi Arabia all seem to agree that the Iranian nuclear deal is a bad deal. Meanwhile, Iran, Syria's President, and Russia seem to applaud the deal.
2. There is and always will be an ongoing conflict between Arabia and Iran which finds expression in terms of Arab Sunni vs Iranian Shiite. So a clean line of separation is needed.
3. Turkey sides religiously with Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, but is not contiguous with those countries, being a neighbor of Iran. Nor does it share any cultural ancestry with the Arabs or Iranians.
4. The Kurds, without a bordered country, are right in the center of everything and seem to be the most adept at dealing with all cultures. Their history seems to reflect a connection with the Iranians which probably offends the Turks who are neither Arab of Iranian.
5. Iranian supported rebels are attempting to overthrow the Yemen government. But Yemen is not even close to Iran, being much closer to Saudi Arabia. Therefore the Saudis are upset and justifiably so.
6. All agree that ISIS must go.
Given this set of circumstances, it would make sense to have the following goals:
1. Repartition portions of Iraq, Syria and Turkey to allow the Kurds to have their own country, WHICH THEY HAVE EARNED AND WHICH WAS ALWAYS THEIRS ANYWAY.
2. Tell Turkey to stop terrorizing the Kurds and allow them self-governance.
3. Tell Iran to get out of Yemen where they do not belong.
4. Tell Iran to quit supporting Hamas and Hezbolla.
5. Support the Assad regime if the Kurds so decide.
So, to achieve these goals IT MAKES NO SENSE TO ENTER INTO ANY DEALS WITH TURKEY, NOR DOES IT MAKE ANY SENSE TO ENDORSE THE IRANIAN NUCLEAR DEAL UNLESS IRAN AGREES. We have faced the threat of nuclear war before. There is no reason to change now.
We went into Iraq out of fear of WMD. And now we are going too far in the other direction of caving into Iran based upon fear of WMD.

The war in Iraq was one thing where we should have stayed and occupied the place while we kept our southern border secure. But since Obama became president, the Middle East has become a more screwed up mess than ever before. It was the Arab spring along with Obama and company attacking in Libya and then going after Syria's president that has helped to make matters more destabilized and worse. And when ISIS first broke out and invaded Iraq, we should have been right there bombing on the spot. Instead we waited until ISIS overran the Iraq forces and acquired $6 Billion worth of military equipment. So who shows up to save the day? THE KURDS. And now Mr Obama sees fit to shoot them in the back in an agreement with Turkey, while he goes parading around the world selling homosexuality.

The presentation of HUMANITY FROM SPACE brings up very clearly the limited resources of the earth in being able to support a global population growing from 7 Billion to 8 Billion by 2030 to 9 Billion by 2050. It would seem that if humanity had any intelligence what-so-ever, then it would begin regulating its birth rate (which is now 200,000 people a day), and before it finds itself engaged in murderous cultural wars over resources which are already threatening. But then who said humanity had any ability or incentive to start doing that. Besides, we always have technology and science to come to our rescue. Really? Do you really think that a culture which has taken 42 years since the oil crisis of 1973 just to come up with more fuel efficient cars is going to be able to produce enough food, water and air in 35 years. Lot's of luck with that. No, there is going to have to be better control of global population growth or else. And what is the "or else"? Maybe global warming will help curtail the growth, or more pollution, or more earthquakes, or more volcanoes, or more tsunamis, or more starvation, or maybe a meteor.

The outright cruelty and lack of a conscience of some people is absolutely astounding. Having just watched a Front Line presentation on the notorious and murderous drug lord El Chappo, in an interview, El Chappo's mother proclaims that God tells us to forgive. I have personally witnessed a judge in this country telling the orphaned children of their murdered mother to forgive and forget. In essence they are saying "Oh please excuse me while I cut off your head and murder your family". But the story would change if the shoe was on the other foot. This is the kind of society we are breeding. Perhaps those people should read more of the Bible before they start telling others to forgive and forget.

Sometimes it is refreshing to think about science rather than politics. One of the mysteries of the universe for which we have yet to see an explanation is this. Almost every body in the heavens seems to rotate about an axis. Planets do, and even sub-atomic particles are said to have spin. In addition to that, bodies not only revolve about other bodies cyclicly, BUT APPARENTLY IN NEAR PLANAR ORBITS IN THE SAME DIRECTION. Examples, our solar system, and galaxies. The question is WHY?
If gravity were by itself linear in all directions, then it would seem objects being attracted to a central body would maintain to some degree their original direction of motion and orbit in roughly that same direction of original motion. That would mean that a planet with several moons would be orbiting in different directions. But instead the moons all seem to revolve about the center mass in a plane. Of course there is gravity between the moons themselves, which may explain this in part. But still, do you ever see one moon revolving in a direction completely opposite another? One must wonder.
Could it be that there is some other force associated with gravity operating orthogonally in a manner similar to magnetic forces acting orthogonally to electrical forces? Or perhaps the Big Bang itself was a planar explosion? Just a thought.
If gravity were by itself linear in all directions, then it would seem objects being attracted to a central body would maintain to some degree their original direction of motion and orbit in roughly that same direction of original motion. That would mean that a planet with several moons would be orbiting in different directions. But instead the moons all seem to revolve about the center mass in a plane.

Just because you cannot control someone else's bad behavior (like a child) does not mean you should condone it. That is when you pray to God, because it is out of your hands.
But some parents will not bow to God, and instead wage a war to justify their child's bad behavior as if they were the child. And of course the childless and atheist have no answer to this predicament, nor do they even care. All three say their prayers are never answered, so therefore, there is no God. It's rather like being in the ocean waiting for a raft to appear. Just because the raft does not show up does not mean it does not exist. But one must ask, did you do anything ahead of time to assure that the raft would be there when you needed it?
In the ultimate end you have 4 choices. 1) Blaming others for your own life's condition as the Islamic fanatics do. 2) Blaming God for all the evil that befell you as the homosexuals and atheists do . 3) Blaming yourself for your own life. 4) Accepting your life's conditions as God's will. So we ask, which of these reflects growth and maturity best?
Like it or not, it is very clearly documented that God's and Christ's expressed will is that homosexuality constitutes lawlessness. What man would invent such a rule and why, because it is so contrary to human nature not to be hedonistic?

Some fancy themselves as righteous Nazi killers, charging ahead on an endless crusade against the perceived powers of darkness like Don Quixote. Of course, they never ever really saw a Nazi in their life, because they were most likely never old enough to actually fight the Nazis. But they did see movies of Nazi atrocities, so that must make them experts of the subject. Nevertheless, they have no qualms in casting about the wildest accusations of Nazidom, slander and character assassination directed at people who stand in the slightest way of their own selfish political agenda. And they spare no reservations about flattering themselves in the process. Such individuals are as dangerous and treacherous as the Nazis themselves, using the courts to conduct their persecutions in the same manner as the actual Nazis. Meanwhile, their admiring public applauds just as they did at the colosseum 2000 years ago.

Today they were going way out almost to the buoys (100+ yards) when the police helicopter flew over sounding an alarm, apparently indicating the presence of a shark. Last week portions of the beach were closed due to a great white hanging around. Over a month ago several sick seals were coming into the beach for reasons unknown.

How is accepting illegal migrants any different than sacrificing your own children to the gods? Citizens are presumed to be children of the state. But given the current worldwide overpopulation and lack of resources, the current government cares not for the children of the state, ie, its citizens, despite its lip service. It is time that those cultures which populate beyond their local means take responsibility for their own conditions. If you can't feed them, then don't breed them.

The movie UNBROKEN was about a soldier who was captured by the Japanese in WWII. It held a special message for us, ie, "IF YOU CAN TAKE IT, THEN YOU CAN MAKE IT" which is exactly what the soldier did.
The fact is, every human being is ultimately breakable, even the bully dishing out his cruel abuse. General Patton was admonished for slapping a soldier for being in the hospital with shot nerves while his other men were risking their lives. That soldier could have been me under those circumstances and at that time in those days. But was Patton right or wrong?
Injustice by necessity must breed callous righteousness. But what is injustice? Well, the moral codes of the Bible define it and require that justice prevail. The biggest moral code is to be willing to lay down your life for your friends. So it would seem that General Patton was correct. I would have deserved being slapped around under those conditions.
Of course it would have helped if I had understood the words and purpose of Christ in the first place, which I did not at that young age. But neither did I know the severity of the injustice being perpetrated in the world until 1959 when the movie Mein Kampf came out, at which time I became horrified. Even after that, I really knew nothing of the extent injustice until I reached the age of 30 at which point I witnessed a government revoking upon its duties with respect to an unjustly murdered person.
So there is justification for righteous callousness, just like righteous parents disciplining their children. Most societies do recognize this and establish standards for honor and shame. Even in the face of their atrocities while occupying the lands of other cultures, the Japanese were to be admired for their sense of honor and shame with respect to their own culture, at least up to a point. Unfortunately they were not on the side of Christ.
When it comes to shame, there is a lot of it being cast about in today's political environment. Some of it is justifiable according to Christian teaching. Some of it is not justifiable, but merely a red herring tossed in for the purposes of winning a points. What is not justifiable is some actor receiving an academy award and using the moment to shame a people for casting their well thought out vote on an issue. And what is not justifiable is foreign nationals demanding their rights to behave in offensive manners while visiting in another country.
So when we say to ourselves "If we can take it, we can make it", let's just be sure that it is Christ Himself for whom we can take it and that we are abiding by His word.

To the advocates of same-sex marriage I would ask, "WHY DO YOU HATE THE OPPOSITE SEX?". You accuse hetero-sex people of "HATRED", yet you yourselves are guilty of the worse hatred which is stereotyping men vs women. Gender stereo-typing might be viewed as being at the top of the list when it comes to bigotry. It is common to all races. "Woman are from Venus, Men are from Mars" emphasizes that bigotry (if that is what you call it). It is well established that there are women "haters" and men "haters". "All women are alike". "All men are alike". "Male chauvinistic pig". "Dumb blonde". All of these expressions reflect a "HATRED" for the opposite sex. So don't be casting about disparaging remarks about other people when you yourself are guilty of the same. I suspect that when all of this is over, male homosexuals will be saying "Dumb women" and female homosexuals will be saying "Dumb men".

BETTER TO DO EVIL THAN BE EVIL..
A renowned theologian is quoted as saying "Better to do evil than to be evil". Really ??? Hmmmm!!! Well let's look at the logic and theology of that question.
We begin by asking what is "good" . Many would say that "good" is pleasurable. But that does not mean what is pleasurable is "good". Example: Wetting the bed is pleasurable, but it is not good.
Have you never been told "I am doing this for your own good"?
And you have heard "God is infinite goodness at all times". So that must mean that God is good every second of every day, but not always pleasurable for us. Furthermore, since there are material things we consider to be good and there are behavioral things we consider to be good, then God must be infinite goodness in both the material world, the behavioral world and the spiritual realm. Given this, does that mean that God just leaves us alone when our pleasure does not coincide with His, or even worse, does he deliberately hurt us? Harm, after all, is considered to be bad. But is it always?
We now ask "What is evil?". Evil is bad, the opposite of good. Evil destroys. So does that mean God is evil if He harms us for bad behavior? How can infinite goodness "BE" evil? The answer is that it cannot. So there must be a difference between harm that is good and harm that is bad. And the harm that is bad is the harm destroys, thus causing it to BE evil.
Evil can only exist within a physical context, not in a spiritual sense, because it can only destroy material things and create bad behavior that destroys material things. This may sound like a denial of the existence of Satan on a spiritual plane. But another more logical way of looking at it is to say that Satan is the complete absence of God. The powers of darkness is the absence of light. God is greater because He operates in the material world, the behavioral world, and the spiritual realm. But I do recognize that we humans do think in digital terms, ie, duality, polarity, cause and effect, etc. So I may be beyond my calling in this regard.
But going on, it cannot be disputed that there are relative degrees of evil. And the difference between "doing" evil as opposed to "being" evil simply means that the evil which creates the most harm is in the state of "being" evil, while the state of evilness which does lesser harm is not consider the same as "being" evil. But all of this implies there must be some line separating goodness from actual being (not just doing) evil. That line must be where God's goodness begins, and this is assumed to be the Laws of Moses.
Does this mean doing the lesser of evils is justified? To be more specific, does God's line of goodness float, ei, move up and down? Well now, that really depends upon what and how you believe. Certainly, justice must be relative. But then we remember some words from Christ. "Resist not evil". "Turn the other cheek". "Love your enemies". "Lay down your life for your friends". "I have come as a double edge sword". "You hypocrites, murderers, adulterers, thieves are not fit for heaven". "I have not come to destroy the laws of Moses, but to complete". "I will bring down these temple walls". These are just a few of the often quoted sayings that appear to be approaching the absolute.
So what are we to make of all of this? It seems all rather confusing. At first "Speak no evil, see no evil, hear no evil" seems to be the order of the day, as if we are to pretend that evil does not exist and it will all just go away. But then John The Baptist was not exactly ignoring evil when he was criticizing Herod's marriage, and Jesus said there was no finer than John The Baptist. Additionally, Jesus did become extremely angry at the money changers and overturned their tables.So we have good reason to believe that pretending evil does not exist if faulty.
It must be reckoned that Christ was closer to Absolute Goodness than any other human being on earth. In approaching that goodness, He leaves behind all of the badness until badness is out of sight. Therefore, His sayings must reflect where He is at the time. The closer to heaven He becomes, the more pure His sayings become. Justice becomes moot, because it is no longer necessary.
So we must take into account that He was nearer to the ultimate good life than ourselves, and those sayings would apply more to His immediate followers. But then we read what some of His immediate disciples said. They were the closest to Him and ought know his teachings best. Do we hear the same "roll over and die" tone coming from them? No, we do not. Read Revelations 18-6 and you get a totally different picture. "Give unto Babylon twice the poison she has given you". We begin to see a picture more in line with our overall sense of justice that gives us justification for sinking below the floating line of goodness when there is a greater evil at work that needs to be combated.
An analogy would be that man's body (presumed to be created by God) is filled with good cells and bad cells. And then there are the T-CELLS which destroy the bad cells. Are the T-CELLS good or evil? If we are in fact made in the image of God, then this must explain the very nature of God Himself and His Character. Certainly, if you do not believe that God exists, you can at least understand His Character.
And therein is the reasoning behind "It is better do do evil than be evil". Justice is relative goodness working with a lesser relative evil verses a more severe relative evil . But how can we ever compare ourselves to infinite goodness? We cannot. As far as we are concerned, all is relative. Try as we may, we will never even come close to God's absolute goodness. But that does not mean we abandon even trying.

BUT IT FEELS GOOD. WHAT HARM DOES IT DO?
There are a lot of things that feel good.
Riding my bicycle down the hill at 50 mph ""feels good".
Eating food "feels good".
Smoking a cigarette "feels good".
Drinking alcohol "feels good".
Oh yes, sex feels good thanks to dopamine.
Emptying the bowels "feels good".
Staying up all night can feel good for a while.
Wetting the bed feels good for a while.
I'm sure heroine feels good to the user.
And then there are those who think inflicting pain upon themselves or others feels good.
First of all, more often than not when we say something feels "good", we mean it feels "pleasurable". But "pleasure" is not necessarily a measure of goodness. We only say it feels "good" to mask the selfishness that lays beneath the surface. So we have to ask, is adopting a standard for society based purely upon a mentality of "it feels good" really the best thing for individuals or society. This is called hedonism. Are all these things really good for you? To be more exact are they really good for you if done in excess? And what is "excess"?
Most would agree that "excess" constitutes overuse or "abuse".
Obsessive behavior is excessive behavior and considered to be abusive.
And if we break that word "abuse" apart, it becomes "abnormal use".
Another meaning of "abuse" is the incorrect application of a tool. Do you use a screw driver for pounding nails? Do you use a hammer for murder?
Abuse means doing the wrong thing with tools, as opposed to being prudent and temperate. It is inordinate behavior.
So most all things have their rightful place as long as they are
not overly used and in line with obvious intended functions. Even the Constitution acknowledges the obvious intent of things when it uses the phrase "self evident". On the other hand, some things are definitely not good for you or society, even though they may "feel good". So what is the answer to a person who claims same-sex intercourse feels good and is without harm?
Well, the practice of same-sex intercourse does require some activity
that many would consider abusive, because it displays behavior similar
to lower animals, especially dogs. Actually, all you have to do is
observe the abusive behavior of many male dogs, and you won't see much
difference from their human counterpart. So is this something you really want to advertise and promote? If you are looking for partners, then I guess so. And therein lies the rub. In your search for partners, you have no scruples about infringing upon the rights of children and their parents who seek to teach them to behave differently from animals. Well, maybe not all of you. But many of you have already displayed a predisposition to be uncharitable without regard for others and taking pleasure in making them feel uncomfortable in the pursuit of your obsessive desires. So what difference is it to you what children may think? After all, you have your legal rights. So screw everybody else including their right to vote.
But let's move on. You argue that many hetero-sex couples engage in the same activity. Okay, I will grant you that. But do they make a religious cult out of it and engage all the time in that manner. Do they run around telling the whole world proudly proclaiming, "Hey, I just did this"? I suspect not. Nevertheless those are depraved and abusive practices whether performed by hetero or same sex couples. The question becomes, where does the depravity and playing in poo end?
You also argue that you can teach children better than many adult parents. Again, I grant to you that there are many abusive parents and that there are situations where a child might be better off in your household. But is that really a valid justification for your own abusive behavior?
Then you say "But I was born this way. I can't help myself". Really? A black man cannot help himself change color. But your behavior is just that, ie, behavior. And the great things about humans is they do have control over their own behavior. So are you saying you were born to be a dog and behave like a dog? There is only one situation where the person may have been born that way, and that is the trans-sexual. His/her behavioral excuse is valid. But it would appear that the majority of those claiming to be born that way are in fact not born that way. They are merely using the trans-sexual for cover, the same as a jihadist would use innocent civilians for cover.
Then you say "But I am a Christian". I'm sorry but you are not a full fledged Christian as long as you are engaging in your abusive behavior.
Going forward, you say you like the sense of freedom. Well, that is your right within the confines of your own bedroom, just like the freedom you feel when emptying your bowels. But does everybody really want to know how good you feel after emptying your bowls?
Then you say "But I am contributing to diminishing the overpopulation of the world". Really? So your improper sexual activity is going to save the globe? Wow. You really are superman.
Then you say "I am not equal with everyone else. I do not have equal rights. I don't have the same benefits as married couples". You have exactly the same right to marry one of the opposite sex as everyone else. So where is the inequality of that? You have the same right to equal "PROTECTION" (not endorsement) under the law as everyone else. With regard to benefits, what do you not get in benefits that a single unmarried person gets?
Let's get down to your real point and that is "Everybody picks one me, because I am a homosexual". Well there may be some truth to that. Certainly you should not be murdered or beaten up, unless you invite it by being aggressive to others yourself. And certainly you need to make a living to survive. But marriage does not grant you either of those. So once again it appears as if you are abusing marriage, ie, another misuse of a tool.
WHAT HARM DOES IT DO?
Finally, let's return to the question of what harm does it do? In any proposal to violate Christian principles, the question invariably asked is "Well, what harm does it do?". "Who does it hurt?". And out of the many answers, the one that rings most true is "The Children". Even so, the fiercest of arguments will ensue disputing the veracity of that answer.
The fact is all children become victims the minute they are born, even if they have a silver spoon in their mouth. They did not ask to be here. They are here because of the desires of their parents whether well intended or not. They had no say at all in their birth. And they are at the mercy of the alleged rights of the parents who in turn are at the mercy of society. So we can assume from the get go that a crime has been committed. The following chart shows the rights of the child as opposed to the rights of adults. It should be noted that they vary inversely to each other.
CHILD
RIGHTS
|\
|...\
|.... \
| ..... \
--------\---- ADULT RIGHTS
So the question becomes, where is the justice in this situation?
Are the parents to be thrown in jail? No. Instead the parents are saddled with the responsibility of providing for the child unti lhe/she becomes an adult. That means food, shelter, medicine, a clean environment, education and a decent social environment that allows censorship. Enter respect and forgiveness which the child normally gives in return.
Turning to the questions of parental responsibilities, most people do not have any problem with the first of those previously mentioned. But it is the latter alleged responsibilities that become a significant point of contention. Just attend a parent teacher association conference and you will know what I mean. The Harper Valley PTA song still rings clear in our ears.
And now we have before us the question of homosexuality and same-sex marriage. What harm does it do? Who does it hurt? And the answer is "The Children". We have already said that children are victims right from the get go. And most would agree that they require protection of their rights. But exactly what are their rights and who is dictating that and how is that harming them?
We start by asking, how are children victimized by the actions of people not even close to them? One need merely observe the world today to assess that. Violence, murder, rape, robbery, human trafficking, illegal migrants, sexual misconduct, perverted justice, parental disputes, et al, all create a little ripple that turns into a gigantic title wave that imposes itself upon the child's senses thereby disturbing its right to peace. The current president recently said "You did not create that. Somebody else did" thereby emphasizing the inter-relatedness of action. Yet this same president cannot even apply that same logic to a child and realize that he and the courts are creating a hostile environment that is disruptive of a child's right to peace and a protected environment.
So what is a legitimate protected environment?
The fact of the matter is, children really know nothing of or even begin to care about sexuality until the age of 10. And the fact is that children can become victims of their own behavior and/or older siblings and/or their parents, and/or society, because they do not understand the consequences of actions, ie, cause and effect. Therefore, they actually not only need protection from others, but themselves for a period. And that includes protection from the consequences of the sexual activity of others. So censorship is required from adult behavior that would expose them to just plain old stupid behavior with other people who would arrogantly preempt the rights of the child's parents in pursuit of their own licentious behavior. Oh yes. That is a judgment and a condemnation. But when it comes to the rights of the already victimized child, as a Christian I will always come down on the rights of the child.
Both homosexuals and heterosexuals need to give very serious consideration to this question with respect to their own habits, because their habits do impact children and the rest of society. The matter of health and hygiene are to be ever considered. Have we already forgotten the aids epidemic for which we can probably thank that one fool engaging in abusive sex? And what of the material, videos, tv ads and other aides brought into the household for children to discover and witness. Is that any less dangerous than a gun left laying around in the house? And what of the arrogant pride and boasting that is offensive to others? Is that display not a signal to children as to how to behave? As the saying goes, monkey see, monkey do.
Then there is the parent who says "My child is a homosexual. What would you do?" Well let me first say that I know what I would want to do, and that would be to protect my child, even if they were an adult. BUT ......................, if I put my own selfishness aside and take the viewpoint of others, I have to weigh each situation as it arises and determine the relative justice of my own actions with respect to society. Therefore, if my child has done a serious injustice to someone else, then it is my duty to discipline my child, even if it means invoking the death penalty. This is not brutality or inhumane treatment. It is "justice" according to the codes of the Bible. And I am sorry, but is it any less fair than the deliberate unjustified murder of another person by my own flesh."If thy hand offend thee, then cut it off". And have we forgotten that it was a homosexual who paved the path for today's murderers to sit in jail while their victims families perish by the way side?
There comes a point where justice must prevail, despite you or your child being on the wrong side of it. Christians believe that you must lay down your life for your friends, and that includes members of your own family if they have violated the principles of Christ. Does that mean that you must publicly humiliate your own child for being a homosexual? No. Not at all. There is such a thing as overkill and forgiveness. But there is absolutely no point in justifying to the entire world your adult child's behavior, as he or she is now directly answerable for that to the rest of society.
One last word about the societal environment and physical tendencies. It has become proven via epi-genetics that environment (both social and material) can turn on or off genetic tendencies. Liberals can talk all they want about the impact of social activity upon the material environment. Yet they fail to even give one ounce of consideration to the impact of homo-sexuality upon human development especially young children under the age of 10 who have older siblings, all of whom will for sure be led astray in the same manner as pinocchio becoming a donkey.
Now admittedly, I have focused upon the behavioral depravity of the homosexual male without addressing homosexual female. But since justice demands equal accounting for behavior regardless of gender, then female homosexuality needs to be regarded in the same light. By the way, that word "depravity" comes from the word "depraved" which means lacking. But lacking in what? Specifically, it means lacking in behavior that demonstrates human virtues. What? you don't like the word "virtue"? But I thought you were a "humanitarian". Oh, am I wrong again? It just seems we can't agree on anything.
But don't mind me. I'm just another stupid homophobe who should stop voting and go back into his closet. Go ahead and indulge. Keep on wetting your bed and acting like dogs as long as it feels good. Just realize that if you act like a dog and put it on display, others will treat you like a dog. And don't ask me if you can borrow any tools or offer to take my kids anywhere, because I already know your improper behavior and abuse of things. But I am truly sorry that does not feel good to you.
In parting, I leave you with the words of C. S. Lewis.
"You might think love of humanity in general is safe, but it is not. If you leave out justice you will find yourself breaking agreements and faking evidence in trials for the sake of humanity and become in the end a cruel and treacherous person."
There are a lot of things that feel good.
Riding my bicycle down the hill at 50 mph ""feels good".
Eating food "feels good".
Smoking a cigarette "feels good".
Drinking alcohol "feels good".
Oh yes, sex feels good thanks to dopamine.
Emptying the bowels "feels good".
Staying up all night can feel good for a while.
Wetting the bed feels good for a while.
I'm sure heroine feels good to the user.
And then there are those who think inflicting pain upon themselves or others feels good.
First of all, more often than not when we say something feels "good", we mean it feels "pleasurable". But "pleasure" is not necessarily a measure of goodness. We only say it feels "good" to mask the selfishness that lays beneath the surface. So we have to ask, is adopting a standard for society based purely upon a mentality of "it feels good" really the best thing for individuals or society. This is called hedonism. Are all these things really good for you? To be more exact are they really good for you if done in excess? And what is "excess"?
Most would agree that "excess" constitutes overuse or "abuse".
Obsessive behavior is excessive behavior and considered to be abusive.
And if we break that word "abuse" apart, it becomes "abnormal use".
Another meaning of "abuse" is the incorrect application of a tool. Do you use a screw driver for pounding nails? Do you use a hammer for murder?
Abuse means doing the wrong thing with tools, as opposed to being prudent and temperate. It is inordinate behavior.
So most all things have their rightful place as long as they are
not overly used and in line with obvious intended functions. Even the Constitution acknowledges the obvious intent of things when it uses the phrase "self evident". On the other hand, some things are definitely not good for you or society, even though they may "feel good". So what is the answer to a person who claims same-sex intercourse feels good and is without harm?
Well, the practice of same-sex intercourse does require some activity
that many would consider abusive, because it displays behavior similar
to lower animals, especially dogs. Actually, all you have to do is
observe the abusive behavior of many male dogs, and you won't see much
difference from their human counterpart. So is this something you really want to advertise and promote? If you are looking for partners, then I guess so. And therein lies the rub. In your search for partners, you have no scruples about infringing upon the rights of children and their parents who seek to teach them to behave differently from animals. Well, maybe not all of you. But many of you have already displayed a predisposition to be uncharitable without regard for others and taking pleasure in making them feel uncomfortable in the pursuit of your obsessive desires. So what difference is it to you what children may think? After all, you have your legal rights. So screw everybody else including their right to vote.
But let's move on. You argue that many hetero-sex couples engage in the same activity. Okay, I will grant you that. But do they make a religious cult out of it and engage all the time in that manner. Do they run around telling the whole world proudly proclaiming, "Hey, I just did this"? I suspect not. Nevertheless those are depraved and abusive practices whether performed by hetero or same sex couples. The question becomes, where does the depravity and playing in poo end?
You also argue that you can teach children better than many adult parents. Again, I grant to you that there are many abusive parents and that there are situations where a child might be better off in your household. But is that really a valid justification for your own abusive behavior?
Then you say "But I was born this way. I can't help myself". Really? A black man cannot help himself change color. But your behavior is just that, ie, behavior.

But it would appear that the majority of those claiming to be born that way are in fact not born that way. They are merely using the trans-sexual for cover, the same as a jihadist would use innocent civilians for cover.
Then you say "But I am a Christian". I'm sorry but you are not a full fledged Christian as long as you are engaging in your abusive behavior.
Going forward, you say you like the sense of freedom. Well, that is your right within the confines of your own bedroom, just like the freedom you feel when emptying your bowels. But does everybody really want to know how good you feel after emptying your bowls?
Then you say "But I am contributing to diminishing the overpopulation of the world". Really? So your improper sexual activity is going to save the globe? Wow. You really are superman.
Then you say "I am not equal with everyone else. I do not have equal rights. I don't have the same benefits as married couples". You have exactly the same right to marry one of the opposite sex as everyone else. So where is the inequality of that? You have the same right to equal "PROTECTION" (not endorsement) under the law as everyone else. With regard to benefits, what do you not get in benefits that a single unmarried person gets?
Let's get down to your real point and that is "Everybody picks one me, because I am a homosexual". Well there may be some truth to that.

Companies are loaded with cash. And they were able to increase their earnings by laying off workers. The recovery has been ridiculously slow. So what's the hang up?
It has long been a government and corporate trick to list job openings that they have no intention of filling. That way they keep their image up as a great employer. What has really been happening is that companies are using their bloated treasuries to buy and take over other competitor companies. And then when they do, they have more layoffs. So when you hear that companies have job openings, but there is no one to fill them, don't believe it for a second.

WHERE HAVE ALL THE JOBS GONE FOR OUR YOUNG PEOPLE
TWO ANSWERS
1. AUTOMATION
2. ILLEGAL MIGRANTS
1. When I first entered the work force in the 1950's there was plenty of work for everyone. You were guaranteed a job: mowing lawns, landscaping, serving food, decking on a boat, working in the bean fields, milking cows, delivering a news paper, sweeping floors, etc, you name it. After growing up, there were plenty of "real" jobs: aerospace, commercial manufacturing, agriculture, product distribution, sales, marketing, communication, software engineering, telecom, broadcasting, clerical services, escrow, real estate sales, banking, insurance, government services, policing, investigation, retail/wholesale sales, and the list goes on. So what happened?
I entered the mainframe computer business, implementing systems in any number of the above mentioned fields, the intent being to minimize clerical workloads. And we did. But for every job we replaced, we trained people to acquire new abilities. We were very picky to make sure that long time employees were not replaced by someone else. An employee's time of service deserves loyalty. But that principle began to change. I still have no answer for it, despite the realization that mergers and acquisitions do occur, and the acquiring company has some hard decisions to make.
And then came the pc and the .com network era. Everything was flipped up-side-down, and jobs in almost every sector of employment began to disappear. Real Estate Sales people were being replaced by online shopping. Retail clerks were being replaced by point of sales systems. Accounting clerks were being replaced by point of order entry systems. Inventory control people were being replaced by automated shelf and pick systems. Assembly manufacturing people were being replaced by numerical control systems. Pilots are becoming replaced by drone systems. And the list just goes on and on and on.
So in other words, automation has put people out of work in doing what they were originally trained to do. Don't get me wrong, I still approve of tackling a task in the most mechanized way that we can. BUT MY POINT IS THAT YOU OWE A RESPONSIBILITY TO THOSE THAT YOU REPLACE, BECAUSE YOU HAVE TAKEN AWAY THEIR LIVELIHOOD. You need to retrain them to survive. And that seems to be something our current day greedy ceo's (making millions of dollars today) and government simply refuse to acknowledge.
2. Since the beginning of 2000, our government has proceeded to allow foreign nationals to cross ILLEGALLY into our country and acquire what remaining jobs there are. This is treason to our citizenry and the youth of this country, both black and white. It is governmental laziness that has put our children in jeopardy. Oh yes, the arguments come in the form of claiming to be compassionate and loving, or that these are jobs Americans don't want, or that our work-force is shrinking, and yata, yata, yata.

Baloney. Charity begins at home. As an old person, when I die I don't want to be looking into the face some foreigner taking care of me while my children are struggling. That is not what I worked for. That is not what I believe in. That is what I will never accept. You can darn well teach my children to be a health-care worker instead of a foreigner. You can teach them hotel services. You can teach them technology. You can teach them agriculture or anything else that will help them to be able to work as respectable human beings in a most screwed up and dysfunctional world that continues to populate beyond its means..
Instead, what the government has done is to throw our young people a bone in the form of health-care and same-sex marriage. So now it is possible to consolidate people together into marriage to survive by the old adage "two can live cheaper than one". So it would appear as if they don't quite yet have to suffer the coming job shortage and economic crisis that for sure will be, given the current path we are on. Of course there will always be one job, and that is humanity struggling to keep itself clean from the cesspool it creates. And who has those jobs?
Would I could, I would throw every foreign national here illegally out of the country. I would stop minding the rest of the world's business and correct my own according to "remove the beam from your own eye first". I would stop all the patronizing of cry babies to encourage decent adulthood and self-sufficiency. I would try to regulate ceo salaries to within reason in relationship to the average worker. I would try to encourage self-sufficiency as a nation. And I would execute every well proven (no doubt) unjustified murderer there is now taking up breathing room in our jails. In other words this country needs a re-org. You might not like that, but quite frankly, I have seen more than many of you to justify it. And no, I am not running for president. I'm too damn old.
To conclude, when you think of "jobs", think of JOB. Only pray for your immediate neighbors and your country that is going to hell in a hand basket. And think globally, but act locally.
TWO ANSWERS
1. AUTOMATION
2. ILLEGAL MIGRANTS
1. When I first entered the work force in the 1950's there was plenty of work for everyone. You were guaranteed a job: mowing lawns, landscaping, serving food, decking on a boat, working in the bean fields, milking cows, delivering a news paper, sweeping floors, etc, you name it. After growing up, there were plenty of "real" jobs: aerospace, commercial manufacturing, agriculture, product distribution, sales, marketing, communication, software engineering, telecom, broadcasting, clerical services, escrow, real estate sales, banking, insurance, government services, policing, investigation, retail/wholesale sales, and the list goes on. So what happened?
I entered the mainframe computer business, implementing systems in any number of the above mentioned fields, the intent being to minimize clerical workloads. And we did. But for every job we replaced, we trained people to acquire new abilities. We were very picky to make sure that long time employees were not replaced by someone else. An employee's time of service deserves loyalty. But that principle began to change. I still have no answer for it, despite the realization that mergers and acquisitions do occur, and the acquiring company has some hard decisions to make.
And then came the pc and the .com network era. Everything was flipped up-side-down, and jobs in almost every sector of employment began to disappear. Real Estate Sales people were being replaced by online shopping. Retail clerks were being replaced by point of sales systems. Accounting clerks were being replaced by point of order entry systems. Inventory control people were being replaced by automated shelf and pick systems. Assembly manufacturing people were being replaced by numerical control systems. Pilots are becoming replaced by drone systems. And the list just goes on and on and on.
So in other words, automation has put people out of work in doing what they were originally trained to do. Don't get me wrong, I still approve of tackling a task in the most mechanized way that we can. BUT MY POINT IS THAT YOU OWE A RESPONSIBILITY TO THOSE THAT YOU REPLACE, BECAUSE YOU HAVE TAKEN AWAY THEIR LIVELIHOOD. You need to retrain them to survive. And that seems to be something our current day greedy ceo's (making millions of dollars today) and government simply refuse to acknowledge.
2. Since the beginning of 2000, our government has proceeded to allow foreign nationals to cross ILLEGALLY into our country and acquire what remaining jobs there are. This is treason to our citizenry and the youth of this country, both black and white. It is governmental laziness that has put our children in jeopardy. Oh yes, the arguments come in the form of claiming to be compassionate and loving, or that these are jobs Americans don't want, or that our work-force is shrinking, and yata, yata, yata. What are you telling me? That I am not compassionate? That I taught my children to be lazy? That I did not produce enough children?
Baloney. Charity begins at home. As an old person, when I die I don't want to be looking into the face some foreigner taking care of me while my children are struggling.

Human trafficking has become more lucrative than drug smuggling and an even more vile activity, making victims of thousands if not millions. And so there are legitimate
organizations springing up throughout the country to combat this crime and assist victims.

This is sleaze at its finest. You do not solve problems by co-mingling issues. You merely cloud the matter.

Why you should not tell your children the full truth until they are old enough to deal with it objectively. Are you going to feed your babies with steak patatoes, ice cream, cake, beer , wine, etc, before they are ready to ingest it? Yet that is exactly what our society is doing with uncensored ads on tv about Viagra, with advocacy for homosexuality, with telling children that God does not exist, with encouraging questionable adult behavior, etc. Critics of protective parents mock the fairy tales, Santa Claus, God, religion,etc all to satisfy their own selfishness without regard for the child's right to have a relatively peaceful and happy upbringing. Meanwhile, we house and feed well proven murders who should be executed , but who instead are babied and cared for the rest of there lives while the families of their victims pass away. On top of that, we allow foreign cultures to invade our country who refuse to assimilate, are either awed by the money and sex or are here to bring terror and change for the worse. Jesus said "Woe to him who leads these children astray from my teachings". And therein lays the justification for censorship. Of course there is such a thing as over-protectiveness. But it is better to error on the side that encourages the best behavior. And one can conclude that when a child becomes an adult and commits heinous crimes, then that so-called child-adult can be thrown out with the chaff. And so it should be with the Boston bomber, the Charleston and Aurora mass murderers, and the Maj Hasans, et al. If you are a parent, you need to ask yourself, "Just exactly what kind of environment are we really creating for our children?" And if you are not a parent, well then you can go on pretending that you know everything about what is right for humanity.

Beyond what extent does forgiveness become unreasonable and illogical.? Behind the drone of human rights activists (cruel and unusual punishment, etc) is the belief in unconditional compassion compliant with the teachings of Christ. However, since actions do speak louder than words and since Jesus said "Speaking against the Holy Spirit will NOT be forgiven", it can be concluded that there are some actions which are unforgivable, especially those which are irreversible and involve the deliberate taking of of a persons life without their explicit or implicit consent.

THE LAST SUPPER is an odd but interesting movie that is effectively a commentary on the clash between modern day liberals and conservatives with ultra extreme societal demands and unjust condemnations. It shows just how far some will go to impose their views upon others, after appearing to ask innocent questions of their victim's views, but for the purposes of justifying their own views and actions.
"The Last Supper" begins by establishing the background and method to the liberals' madness, a small group of smug, wine-sipping young graduate students who share a house in the Midwest, On a dark and stormy night, they happen to invite in a truck driver (Bill Paxton) who soon sparks an argument. He is offended when his hosts don't want to say grace. And as the conversation continues, he reveals increasingly deep and unpalatable prejudices. "What are you, a Nazi?" one liberal asks. "Or is that too far to the left?" Then, since there are knives on the dinner table, one thing leads to another and the truck driver is stabbed to death.
The liberal friends proceed to examine the moral consequences of what they have done. They decide that anyone who could have killed Adolf Hitler as a young man would have been making the world a better place. And that they, in their own small way, can do the same. The five hateful liberals then agree to hold court at their dinner table, baiting a parade of conservative guests who have been invited only on account of their benighted views.
The liberals confine themselves to heavy sarcasm until each conservative guest delivers some declaration worthy of a bumper sticker. ("When a woman cries rape, it's usually because she's already consented to sex." "Homosexuality is the terrible disease and AIDS is the cure.") Then they poison the conservative and plant him or her in the garden. It proves wonderfully easy to raise a great crop of tomatoes this way.

Ben Carson is ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. Everybody does discriminate because "INTELLIGENT" human beings do discriminate. Anyone who says they do not discriminate is a liar. But this government and the news media would have everyone believe that all discrimination is wrong. When asking/interviewing, neither the news media nor the Court qualifies it's question as to differentiate between UNJUST discrimination and JUST discrimination, thereby ignoring the difference between right and wrong (but proving that they do not discriminate except when they discriminate against those they claim do discriminate). Laziness in speech is no justification for claiming a higher moral ground.

The ultimate decision on whether or not global warming is a fact should rely on satellite data taken from a distance that can more accurately measure the aggregate temperature of the earth. Unless you measure every spot on earth, at the surface and up, and average all of those readings, you are not going to have an accurate picture. And such surface measurement is nigh impossible, considering we can't even find where MA flight 370 went.

2. Therefore a system of automatically changing and rotating pass codes local only to the end user and/or his network would seem to be a possible answer to ending this nightmare. Even routers might have this feature built-in.
During WWII it was easy to eavesdrop on radio communications as long as the communication frequency remained constant. It was Heddy Lamar who came up with the idea of dynamically changing frequencies to defeat such breakins.

Should a country have the right to impose it's legacy religion upon its citizens? This is a tough question. In a democracy, it would seem that if the citizens consent to a government, then that government has the duty and obligation to defend the culture of those citizens. Certainly a government should have the right to favor/promote a religion in preserving the values of it's mother culture, lest that culture become at risk as an endangered species. And one might reasonably assume and expect that any foreign migrants from one religious culture into another religious culture would accept the religion of the hosting culture without any hidden agenda or agitation. No matter, any government involvement in religion needs to be closely watched lest it become abusive of the democratic values of mutual responsible freedom. Those countries whose government centers about Sharia Law would abuse their powers in meting out punishments that are unjustified, even though they may be democratic.
Humanity, in its search for truth, wisdom, virtue and purity, must not be prevented from peacefully exploring in all directions of that search and expressing its theological beliefs. But is it really necessary to nationalize a religion for the purposes of conducting that search? Probably, not. One can assume that when truth is found, it will grow without having to nationalize it.
On the other hand, a government should not go in the opposite direction to suppress all religion, which amounts to areligion becoming a religion unto itself. Government should not restrict the reasonable non-obstructive expression of religion in public places, nor impose laws upon religion which would require conduct or associations contrary to that religion's reasonable moral values, UNLESS THOSE VALUES ENDANGER OTHERS OR EXPOSES CHILDREN TO INDECENCY/VIOLENCE OR THAT RELIGION'S DOCTRINE PROMOTES DISPROPORTIONATE PUNISHMENT FOR VIOLATION OF IT'S RULES AND SEEKS GLOBAL DOMINATION THROUGH VIOLENCE. Unfortunately, any reader of the Quran will quickly find that its doctrine is one which promotes violence.

THE COURT'S ABUSE OF POWER.
The Supreme Court's attempt to perform a NATIONAL LOBOTOMY by hypocritical shaming, guilt tripping and criminalization of people's thinking deserves condemnation. It is not troubling that homosexuals seek to marry. What is troubling is that we have an unfettered court of a limited few who think that they have the Constitutional authority to tell everyone else how to think when in fact there is nothing in the Constitution explicitly granting them that authority. It may be a defacto condition, but never-the-less the alleged power of judicial review is not in the Constitution nor in its amendments. (Refer to John Marshall's dual role as Sec of State and Supreme Court Justice and his acquisition of the alleged power of judicial review in Marbury vs Madison.)
What do ss marriage and illegal immigration have in common.? They are both issues that citizen voters approved of banning which the courts, in their cult-like robes and rituals, over-turned. In addition they over-turned the United States Congress and its definition of DOMA. That is an arrogant abuse of power and violation of democratic republic principles.
In current arguments before the court, Judge Roberts ask the most biased and hypocritical question with the intent of subverting justice. He asked “I mean, if Sue loves Joe and Tom loves Joe, Sue can marry him and Tom can’t. And the difference is based upon their different sex. Why isn’t that a straightforward question of sexual discrimination?” THIS IS NOT ONLY AN IDIOTIC QUESTION. IT IS AN UNFAIR QUESTION, BECAUSE IT BEGS THE QUESTION, WHEREIN THE DESIRED ANSWER IS ALREADY EMBEDDED IN THE QUESTION.
It is an unfair question as evidenced by the fact that he failed to specify whether it was "just" discrimination or "unjust" discrimination in denying Tom the ability to marry Joe, where the conclusion is already deemed to be that all unspecified discrimination is wrong. To say that all discrimination is wrong is to be a liar and hypocrite. All human beings exercise their powers of discrimination throughout their waking hours. Even Martin Luther King acknowledged our right to discriminate when he said "we are not to be judged by skin color, but by content of character". Yet our courts have not qualified discrimination as being just or unjust, thus leaving the door open for the courts to prosecute all types of discrimination in the pursuit of political agendas.
In answer to his question, "You, Judge Roberts, discriminate all the time."
And clearly, by your failure to qualify your question as being just or unjust discrimination, you have shown your predetermined bias to slant the outcome, thereby abusing your position to unfairly influence. What this matter is not is a case of DISPARITIZATION, ie unjust discrimination. There is no more unjust disparitization against homosexuals than there is against single individuals.
Furthermore, Roberts neglects to acknowledge that Tom has no restrictions in marrying one of the opposite sex, thereby negating any claims of unequal treatment under the law. The rules are applied equally to all. There is no favoritism. There is no unfairness. There is no unjust discrimination. There are only the red herrings of the political left.
It is an idiotic question, because the next questions to follow are:
I love my mother. Can I marry her. I love my daughter and grand daughters. Can I marry them. I love my cat. Can I marry it. I love everybody.Why can I not marry whatever, whoever, and as many as I want? A mentality that says ss marriage is okay, but these other forms of marriage are not okay, is a hypocritical mentality.
Furthermore, a court that says the law consists of breaking the law is a joke. The ss marriage issue all began with a San Francisco mayor breaking the law and issuing ss marriage licenses. In the same manner, courts have upheld the rights of foreigners to protest in our streets, effectively saying it is okay to break the law and cross our borders illegally.
Where it is true that there may be a class of people who are born with a genetic predisposition toward unconventional behavior. Certainly they should not be persecuted for their condition as long as it is unharmful and legitimate. But neither should a society go WAY OVER-BOARD for the purposes of showing how good it is in accepting that condition and to the point of encouraging the development of that condition rather than trying to correct it, thereby promoting piggy-backers (whose behavior is voluntary) to climb on board. Epigenetics shows that environment turns on and off genes. There is a big difference between "I can't help it" and "the Devil made me do it".
The most recent court cases overturning the will of the people and the Congress regarding SS marriage were NOT BASED ON COMPASSION. They were based upon outright GREED and COVETOUSNESS giving increased hypocritical status to a society that would still prevent polygamy & incestuous marriage which, according to their illogic, should also be given "equal rights", if that is what you call it . Meanwhile, the ruling does nothing to protect those who need real protection against undeserved persecution and instead unjustly seeks to change the whole society via collective guilt rather than punishing the individual perpetrators of unjust persecution. It is judicial laziness that allows one bad apple to spoil the whole lot and rewards bad behavior while the innocent of society find it necessary to lock themselves indoors against free roaming predators who have been afforded their "equal rights".
The real victims of this judicial non-sense are our culture and our children. The purpose of censorship is to protect children from exposure to the depraved living of adults until they are old enough to discern for themselves. But in their more recent rulings on these matters, the courts might as well erect a sacrificial bonfire onto which we can throw our children while it promotes and rewards irresponsible celebrity and adult behavior that seeks to engage in licentious living. The fear, ie, PHOBIA, and argument being promoted by the liberal adults is that we should not be raising our children to be "bigots" and that therefore the children need to be exposed to and shown that homosexual living is "normal" as opposed to the more prudent practice of censoring and ignoring sexual issues until the children are more capable of reasoning for themselves. The fallacy of their argument is in their presumptuous allegation that the more prudent upbringing results in bigotry, thereby revealing the mentality they would impose upon the children, resulting in indoctrination rather than education. (After the Vietnam war, North Vietnam imposed indoctrination upon South Vietnam calling it education.) So when it comes right down to it, we are deciding between two conflicting doctrines as to how our children should be raised, with one of those doctrines being based solely upon the wants of the adults and not the needs or consideration of the children.
Where it is recognized that there are children with unconventional predispositions, until the majority of the children are proven to be predisposed to unconventional sexual practices, the vote of the majority of the parents must be upheld and not over-turned by the dictatorial courts, nor snubbed by hypocritical celebrities. The refusal of a marriage license is not "mean spirited". It is for the sake of the majority of children to be brought up in a timely fashion and educated, not indoctrinated. Even a new-born computer needs to be off-line and protected from exposure to the environment until it can be trained to handle that exposure.
Our democratic republic is being destroyed by illiterate judicial idiots claiming to have powers not granted to them in the Constitution and seeking to extrapolate their own will as opposed to the will of our forefathers, the will of our Congress, and the will of our voting citizens. Not until 2/3 of the states ratify an amendment, limiting the alleged powers of judicial review, will the Supreme Court be put in its proper place and our democratic republic be restored as originally conceived. That's the kind of real change I want to see.

I love everybody.Why can I not marry whatever, whoever, and as many as I want? A mentality that says ss marriage is okay, but these other forms of marriage are not okay, is a hypocritical mentality.
Furthermore, a court that says the law consists of breaking the law is a joke. The ss marriage issue all began with a San Francisco mayor breaking the law and issuing ss marriage licenses. In the same manner, courts have upheld the rights of foreigners to protest in our streets, effectively saying it is okay to break the law and cross our borders illegally.
Where it is true that there may be a class of people who are born with a genetic predisposition toward unconventional behavior. Certainly they should not be persecuted for their condition as long as it is unharmful and legitimate. But neither should a society go WAY OVER-BOARD for the purposes of showing how good it is in accepting that condition and to the point of encouraging the development of that condition rather than trying to correct it, thereby promoting piggy-backers (whose behavior is voluntary) to climb on board. Epigenetics shows that environment turns on and off genes. There is a big difference between "I can't help it" and "the Devil made me do it".
The most recent court cases overturning the will of the people and the Congress regarding SS marriage were NOT BASED ON COMPASSION. They were based upon outright GREED and COVETOUSNESS giving increased hypocritical status to a society that would still prevent polygamy & incestuous marriage which, according to their illogic, should also be given "equal rights", if that is what you call it . Meanwhile, the ruling does nothing to protect those who need real protection against undeserved persecution and instead unjustly seeks to change the whole society via collective guilt rather than punishing the individual perpetrators of unjust persecution. It is judicial laziness that allows one bad apple to spoil the whole lot and rewards bad behavior while the innocent of society find it necessary to lock themselves indoors against free roaming predators who have been afforded their "equal rights".
The real victims of this judicial non-sense are our culture and our children. The purpose of censorship is to protect children from exposure to the depraved living of adults until they are old enough to discern for themselves. But in their more recent rulings on these matters, the courts might as well erect a sacrificial bonfire onto which we can throw our children while it promotes and rewards irresponsible celebrity and adult behavior that seeks to engage in licentious living. The fear, ie, PHOBIA, and argument being promoted by the liberal adults is that we should not be raising our children to be "bigots" and that therefore the children need to be exposed to and shown that homosexual living is "normal" as opposed to the more prudent practice of censoring and ignoring sexual issues until the children are more capable of reasoning for themselves. The fallacy of their argument is in their presumptuous allegation that the more prudent upbringing results in bigotry, thereby revealing the mentality they would impose upon the children, resulting in indoctrination rather than education. (After the Vietnam war, North Vietnam imposed indoctrination upon South Vietnam calling it education.) So when it comes right down to it, we are deciding between two conflicting doctrines as to how our children should be raised, with one of those doctrines being based solely upon the wants of the adults and not the needs or consideration of the children.
Where it is recognized that there are children with unconventional predispositions, until the majority of the children are proven to be predisposed to unconventional sexual practices, the vote of the majority of the parents must be upheld and not over-turned by the dictatorial courts, nor snubbed by hypocritical celebrities. The refusal of a marriage license is not "mean spirited". It is for the sake of the majority of children to be brought up in a timely fashion and educated, not indoctrinated. Even a new-born computer needs to be off-line and protected from exposure to the environment until it can be trained to handle that exposure.
Our democratic republic is being destroyed by illiterate judicial idiots claiming to have powers not granted to them in the Constitution and seeking to extrapolate their own will as opposed to the will of our forefathers, the will of our Congress, and the will of our voting citizens. Not until 2/3 of the states ratify an amendment, limiting the alleged powers of judicial review, will the Supreme Court be put in its proper place and our democratic republic be restored as originally conceived. That's the kind of real change I want to see.

According to the Pew Research Center, the Hispanic population of the United States will triple to 127 million by 2050, as Mexico`s population grows to 130 million. An erasure of the U.S. border, or merger of the two countries, or the linguistic, cultural and social annexation of the American Southwest by Mexico appears fated.
Yet, last October, in another Pew poll of 45,000 people in 47 countries, a majority in 46 expressed fear of a loss of their traditional culture.
Sixty-two percent of Americans told Pew we should do more to protect our way of life. Three-fourths of Americans wanted more restrictions on immigration. Yet all three presidential candidates voted amnesty for the 12 million to 20 million illegal aliens.

The question is "Does the penalty fit the crime", that is assuming they are really guilty. How many lives did they take in their greedy operations? And if they are operating in a country known to be the executioners of drug smuggling, then are they not agreeing that they should be executed if caught? On the other hand, how easy is it to be framed under such conditions? At the minimum, drug smuggling should be likened to voluntary man-slaughter.

Christiphobia has become the order of the day.
You better hold on to one mammary of religion or the other, because the hypocrites who think they can moderate the whole thing are mixing dangerous chemicals. For as long as the Islamists continue to ban the Bible, there will be war, and if not war, then unjust persecution.
As Rodney King asked "Can't we all just get along"? The answer is "yes" AS LONG AS YOU DON'T IMPOSE. BUT THAT IS NOT THE INTENTION OF THOSE WHO ABIDE BY THE QURAN. JESUS CHRIST FREES AND GIVES YOU A CHOICE. ISLAM ENSLAVES WITHOUT CHOICE. The Bible was written by many. The Quran was written by one. The Bible is long and detailed. The Quran is short and a compilation of short verses. Only the lazy and self-serving will read one without reading the other. The real phobia is on the part of the Islamist in denying possession and reading of the Bible. If you don't get that, then go join the Jihadists.

"A Boston Globe survey released Monday found that just 19 percent of Massachusetts residents support the idea of putting Tsarnaev to death, fewer than the 30 percent who support the death penalty for "heinous" crimes. The poll of 804 people conducted April 22 and 23 has a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points."
The only thing polls are good for is propagandizing and slanting perception of public opinion in attempts to beg the question. How many of those 804 were actually victims of violent crime? And if there were victims among them, how many of those have been so devastated by society's choices that they no longer care and wish upon society the same as what happened with them.
"Guaranteed life imprisonment"? Right. Tell me there will never be an earthquake that springs his cell door open to make him free again. But then here is a business idea to spur the economy. How about selling insurance to victims in the event of their predator escaping? Or better yet, to save money, how about we just forget the whole thing and move on? It's too much trouble anyway.
There is something very disingenuous about a society that says "we care" when it mommy coddles well proven murderers.
Rev 18-6 says 'My people, give unto Babylon TWICE the poison she has given you". The execution of this murderer would not even be a fraction of 1% of the poison he has given us. If you love your children, then EXECUTE THIS THING, lest you burden them with more taxes and leave the door opened for further risk to them.

But then looks are not everything. Unfortunately, Hillary has nothing with which to compensate and offers only more of the same illogical garbage that has turned this country into a pathetic conflict of good behavior vs bad behavior.
The real question for any president is, "WOULD HE/SHE DO THEIR DUTY IN DEFENDING THIS COUNTRY AGAINST INVASION, PEACEFUL OR OTHERWISE?". Would he/she promote the self-suffiiciency of the citizens and not impose other cultures upon the citizens? Or would he/she invite foreigners to come in without being assimilated into our culture and take over in the name of the "economy" or fallacious "compassion", thereby disrupting the domestic tranquility and promoting irresponsible population growth?

Peaceful invasions are none-the-less just that, ie, "invasions".
The mere fact of being human does not guarantee unconditional human rights. The granting of rights of one thing over the other must be based upon relative behavior within individual life times and taking into account the relative morality and righteousness of the behaviors, as well as the contributions made to humanity.
The judgment of a cultural progeny must be weighed against the practices and conditions which gave rise to that progeny and whether or not those practices under those conditions were done on behalf of creating a more just and equitable world for all cultures, as opposed to creating a burdening progeny that imposes on other cultures for purely selfish and unthoughtful reasons.

The arrangement was struck down by the European Court of Human Rights in 2012, which ruled that the system would have turned away legitimate asylum seekers."

The news media loves this word "Xenophobic".They think it makes them morally right when in fact they are being ARROGANT in pretending to know what is inside the mind of those seeking to defend their homeland against wrong behavior. In fact, it is hypocritical, fearful, and childish name calling directed at the alleged fearful that makes the name caller look completely stupid and incites more wrong behavior rather than discouraging it.
It is even more wrongful for the citizens of one country (like US citizens who don't even live in the other country) to think they have the right to call out the citizens of another country for social matters they don't agree with. If you don't like it, then stay at home and shut your pie-hole, because it is not your concern and does not really impact you. Sticking your nose into other peoples' affairs is being a busy-body with no real useful purpose, other than to try to make yourself look good. If you do have legitimate concerns over what's happening in other countries, then at least have the mentality to present your arguments without name calling and acting like some self righteous boasting idiot. And make sure your own nose is clean first, which ours is not. If we spent more time dealing with the wrongful behavior, crime and injustice in our own country rather than fingering some other country, then we might have some small reason to assume the high moral ground. But at this point in history, the way we deal with crime in rewarding bad behavior, as we force our children to provide for criminals and accept immoral behavior, is a pathetic disgrace.
Either you lead the world by example, or you set a poor example. And right now there are enough poor examples to far out-weigh the good examples. Our borders are an open sieve. Innocent by-standers (including children) are murdered in the streets daily.Our military troops are murdered on their home base. Our so-called justice system does not believe the eyes of the public and engages in a cult-like ritual, protecting an accused rights to the point of being ridiculous and prolonging the suffering of victims. The obsession with racism dominates our attention whilst innocent blacks are murdered by illegals and their pleas for justice receive a cold shoulder. Law suits are being entertained that would never have gotten to first base 60 years ago. Bizarre immoral behavior is being given legitimacy, and the only thing left of a democratic republic is lip service, while voters are left with having to choose between the lesser of two evils. It is a most sad state of affairs, the responsibility for which we need look no farther than the Supreme Court.
A country whose citizens have kept their population from exploding should not be forced to accommodate those countries where the citizens populate beyond their means. The mere fact of being a human being does not give you the right to impose on other cultures. Should liver cells invade a pancreas organ? Would you have your children all living in the same room? No, each is entitled to their own space. And so it is with nations and cultures. A "melting pot" effectively destroys the diversity of the world. Let the "pride" of cultures remain in their own homeland and out of the face of citizens, lest you promote more violence than would otherwise exist

A great movie and a tribute to the man who invented the first electronic computer! But is it incorrectly being used to promote a general sense of guilt.
I would feel more "guilty" , no actually WAY FAR MORE THANKFUL, for those who braved the shores of Normandy, lest we diminish their real heroics. And I would feel far more "guilty" about the injuries sustained by our current day troops who have put themselves in actual harm's way on our behalf and paid a dearer price. Never-the-less, this man did contribute and respectfully kept his personal life to himself, as should we all.
There are many, many personal reasons for suicide that are not the responsibility of anyone. The suicide bombers blame the Western world. Monks set themselves on fire in protest. Jealous spouses/lovers do so all the time. The terminally ill want their plug pulled. The rightness or wrongness of the act can vary greatly. But unless the individual explicitly states otherwise, there is very little reason to speculate and ask ourselves, "Are we responsible for this person's suicide?" And even then, there is huge room for doubt unless the person were coerced into it as was Rommel or the Jews of Masada.
Jesus died "for" us, not "because of" us. There is a BIG DIFFERENCE. Nor did He make any attempt to rescue John The Baptist. Is that suppose to make Jesus responsible for the death of John The Baptist? The only answer can be is that Jesus knew John The Baptist was doing so "for" Jesus, not "because of" Jesus.
Survivor guilt is a very common maledy of caring human beings. But it must not be the rule of the day. Life must go on. You cannot spend the rest of your whole life wallowing in self-pity. Nor can you spend the rest of your life trying to stamp out all of the alleged causes of suicide. It's time for the hypocritical blame game and guilt tripping to end, because real justice is taking a back seat to it and real victims are suffering.

Lookout. Here comes Hillary, the new Gorilla in the room?
Sorry gals, could not resist this.
Etymology
The word "gorilla" comes from the history of Hanno the Navigator, (circa 500 BC) a Carthaginian explorer on an expedition on the west African coast to the area that later became Sierra Leone.[3]. They encountered "a savage people, the greater part of whom were women, whose bodies were hairy, and who our interpreters called Gorillae".[4] The word was then later used as the species name, though it is unknown whether what these ancient Carthaginians encountered were truly gorillas, another species of ape or monkeys, or humans.[5]
The American physician and missionary Thomas Staughton Savage and naturalist Jeffries Wyman first described the western gorilla (they called it Troglodytes gorilla) in 1847 from specimens obtained in Liberia.[6] The name was derived from Greek Γόριλλαι (gorillai), meaning "tribe of hairy women",[7] described by Hanno.

Okay, I can't resist this. Political correctness has invented some new words like, "homophobia", "Islamaphobia", "xenophobia" , etc. I wish to add some new ones.
CHRISTI-PHOBIA - The fear of and adversity to Jesus Christ & his teachings as expresssed in the Bible.
"INCITI-PHOBIA" - The fear of creating a violent crowd reaction, the fear resulting in censorship.
"DISPARITIZATION" - The deliberate deprivation of legitimate rights & the equivalent of cheating. The replacement for misuse of the word "discrimination".
"DISPARITIZING INCITI-PHOBIA" - The unfair censoring of one point of view while allowing another to be expressed. "PROPAGANDA".
"RACISM" - The adversity to a culture based purely upon its color of skin & not content of character OR the inordinate touting and pride in one's own skin color/culture & ridiculous claims of racial disparity.
"ETYMOLOGY" is the study of words.
"SLANDER" is the action or crime of making a false spoken statement damaging to a person's reputation.
"BIGOTRY" dates back to at least 1598, via Middle French, and started with the sense of "religious hypocrite". That being so, we need to know the definition of "hypocrisy".
"HYPOCRISY" may be understood to mean "inconsistency in or duality of moral standards, ethics, or laws". "INCONSISTENCY" is the operative word, but more specifically "DELIBERATE INCONSISTENCY" for the purposes of benefiting oneself. "Hypocrisy" may also be the claim or pretense of holding beliefs, feelings, standards, qualities, opinions, behaviors, virtues, motivations, or other characteristics that one does not actually hold. Hypocrisy is not simply failing to practice those virtues that one preaches. Samuel Johnson made this point when he wrote about the misuse of the charge of "hypocrisy" in Rambler No. 14: "Nothing is more unjust, however common, than to charge with hypocrisy him that expresses zeal for those virtues which he neglects to practice; since he may be sincerely convinced of the advantages of conquering his passions, without having yet obtained the victory, as a man may be confident of the advantages of a voyage, or a journey, without having courage or industry to undertake it, and may honestly recommend to others, those attempts which he neglects himself."
In other words, "SLANDER IS UNJUST & A CRIME".
"HATE" is generally considered to be a bad thing. However, Psalm 139 says there is a kind of “perfect hatred” which is consistent with love, and is different from the “cruel hatred” shown by God’s enemies. So "hate" may or may not be justified.
CONCLUSION:
It would indeed be nice and fair if those choosing to use these words in accusing others of being guilty of these traits actually understood the meaning of the words before using them. But then, we understand the illiteracy & social agendas of those who seek to win no matter how underhanded they must be to stifle adversaries of their positions.
CHRISTI-PHOBIA - The fear of and adversity to Jesus Christ & his teachings as expresssed in the Bible.
"INCITI-PHOBIA" - The fear of creating a violent crowd reaction, the fear resulting in censorship.
"DISPARITIZATION" - The deliberate deprivation of legitimate rights & the equivalent of cheating. The replacement for misuse of the word "discrimination".
"DISPARITIZING INCITI-PHOBIA" - The unfair censoring of one point of view while allowing another to be expressed. "PROPAGANDA".
"RACISM" - The adversity to a culture based purely upon its color of skin & not content of character OR the inordinate touting and pride in one's own skin color/culture & ridiculous claims of racial disparity.
"ETYMOLOGY" is the study of words.
"SLANDER" is the action or crime of making a false spoken statement damaging to a person's reputation.
"BIGOTRY" dates back to at least 1598, via Middle French, and started with the sense of "religious hypocrite". That being so, we need to know the definition of "hypocrisy".
"HYPOCRISY" may be understood to mean "inconsistency in or duality of moral standards, ethics, or laws". "INCONSISTENCY" is the operative word, but more specifically "DELIBERATE INCONSISTENCY" for the purposes of benefiting oneself. "Hypocrisy" may also be the claim or pretense of holding beliefs, feelings, standards, qualities, opinions, behaviors, virtues, motivations, or other characteristics that one does not actually hold. Hypocrisy is not simply failing to practice those virtues that one preaches.

The St Patrick's Day Massacre Of Words
The Constitution guarantees the right of people to peacefully assemble. The operative word is "ASSEMBLE". It does not just mean "TO GATHER". The word, "ASSEMBLE", implies some intelligence in putting together something. In so doing, it requires a process of picking and choosing to include or exclude specific elements, ie, "DISCRIMINATION". Any person who says they do not discriminate is either an idiot or a liar. Jury selection itself is "discrimination". That being the case, it is quite obvious that the Supreme Court's choice of the word "discrimination" in attempting to quell civil conflicts contradicts the original Constitution & is hypocritical. The word that should have been used is "DISPARITIZATION", that is if they truly intended to solve the problem.
It should be further noted that there is nothing in the Constitution explicitly granting the courts the exclusive right to over turn the vote of the people or the law making powers of Congress. John Marshall, serving dual roles as Secretary of State & Supreme Court Justice, went beyond the Constitution in claiming the exclusive powers of judicial review resulting in anti-democratic processes. Any such review should be subject to confirmation by the Congress. If you are going to make laws based upon implications, then do so within the intent of the original document, without changing the meaning of words & without the deception of serving in dual roles.
The road to insanity begins with lack of clarity. And once insanity kicks in, there is no guarantee of any domestic peace.

If Islam is such a great religion (as Obama says), then WHY IS IT SO CHRISTOPHOBIC that Islamic countries find it necessary to ban the Bible, making it a crime to possess one punishable by death. A religion of truth and faith and without fear will not find it necessary to ban the competition. There is no difference between such a mentality and nazism . Until possessing a Bible is not a crime, there is no reason to believe that Islam is a credible religion. The issue is one of freedom of speech, which we seem to be so willing to sacrifice so we don't offend anyone else's wrong doings .
But now turning to the atheist, how can you call yourself a "humanist" and not believe in Christ who was real, did in fact live, and was the greatest "humanist" of all? And how can you call yourself a "Christian" if you do not adhere to the teachings of Christ? No matter, you are free to choose as you wish, because He has given you a free will. So you decide if you live in hell or live in love. And if you decide to live in hell, then don't impose your baggage on everyone else via law making or policy decisions or ridiculous law suits.
There is just one phrase coming out of the mouths of atheists - "I don't believe". To be more accurate, it is "I CHOOSE not to believe", and in so doing, the mindset becomes CLOSED. And that is very dangerous, especially if they become politicians or jurists. There is nothing wrong with questioning and having doubts. You can even be angry with God, but not the Holy Spirit. Intelligent and opened minds should have questions. That is part of our "DISCRIMINATING" nature. We need to have justifications and reasons for our thinking and behavior. It is in accordance with the logic of cause and effect, abeit it may be carried a bit too far in some cases resulting in the blame game But the minute we CHOOSE to eliminate the possibility of another existence which we can neither prove nor disprove, we have closed the possibilities for our own destinies. Regardless, there is no justification for our imposing our own closed minds upon others. We become merely a bunch of cry-babies wallowing in our sorrows in accordance with "Misery loves company". So go ahead and express your own doubts. You will be listened to. But don't ruin the lives of others in forcing your disbeliefs upon others.
You might choose to justify your disbelief by pointing out the hypocrisies of the churches, ie, priests molesting children, anti-abortionist murdering doctors,etc..And you may have some valid points. There is the good and the bad everywhere. But as Christ said, you better be sure that you are on a higher moral ground before condemning others. And you better be on the very highest moral ground before you choose not to believe in God.
So you get tired of hearing the "preaching". Who doesn't? Okay, then go take a nap. And you don't have to wave your arms in the air at holy rollers or get all weird. You don't even have to sing or go to church. That is your choice. It is what is in your heart that counts. And if what is in your heart is to squelch the peaceful expressions of others, then you seek to take away their freedom of speech, and that is just plain wrong. But if they are blocking traffic causing a denial of public access, if they are hiding something harmful to others & refusing a legitimate search, etc,, then you have a legitimate complaint and should take it to court. But don't waste your time and everybody else's with stupid things like removing a cross from a hill, or taking a sign down, or eliminating prayer at public meetings, or eliminating teaching about Christ from school text books, etc. It is just plain nonsense & is CHRISTOPHOBIC.

FOR THE "COMMON GOOD"
In today's modern times, a government is suppose to function & serve
according to "THE COMMON GOOD" of its people. But the question
is "WHAT is the COMMON GOOD and for WHO"?
The word "COMMON" is a collective term that refers to more than
just one individual. Rather it is a group of individuals all
having the same interests. Obviously, there can be more than just
one group where the assortment of groups do not have the same
interests, thereby distinguishing them from each other.
Never-the-less these differing groups may have some over-lapping
interests, thus forming a broader, but more diffused commonality.
At this point we begin to see the formation of a NATION which may
be assigned to some geographical sovereign borders.
Enter the government to coordinate the common interests of the
various groups contained within its sovereign borders, and
all of the individuals within its sovereign borders are CITIZENS
to the exclusion of those who did not originate within its borders.
The word "GOOD" can be interpreted as meaning "FOR THE BENEFIT OF".
Quite obviously, what can be for the benefit of one individual
can be at the expense of another individual. So when dealing with
a group of individuals, all having a commonality in some areas,
but differing in other areas, there is a way of resolving the
differences. It is called "GROUP DECISION MAKING", and it has
been well proven as the best method of arriving a group
decisions. Another word for group decision making is
"DEMOCRACY", wherein individuals vote upon issues that
affect their "COMMON GOOD". So within a system of government,
it is the CITIZENS (not foreigners) who determine their
own "COMMON GOOD".
A government which ignores the expressed will of its people is not a government but a fraud that does not serve "THE COMMON GOOD". So let's ignore the alligators and drain the swamp.

THE PATHWAY TO ENSLAVEMENT
If some alleged scholars wish to waste their time and the time of others in changing the terminology BC (BEFORE CHRIST) to BCE (before common era) because it is offensive to the few and they don't want to offend anyone (ie, "political orrectness"), then they should also change the names of the months which are named after Roman Emperors, ie, July (Julius), August (Augustus), October (Octavia) because those names are just as offensive. For those alleged scholars, I suggest they use the names Islamphobious(July), Homophobious (August) , and Xenophobious(October). But for the more astute mind, Christophobe, Ignoramus, and just plain Stupidio are more appropriate, that is if you are so inclined to be "politically correct". No matter, it is quite obvious that such alleged scholars are also changing the meaning of the original Constitution, just as they seek to change the original Gregorian Calendar. And in that transition, facts become blurred into fiction.
Martin Luther King hit the nail on the head when he said, "We are to be judged by the CONTENT OF OUR CHARACTER". To that I would add "and BEHAVIOR". But what is "CHARACTER" and from where does it come?. More specifically, what is GOOD character? Enter THE BIBLE.
There are all kinds of legitimate questions surrounding the BIBLE. Among them include: 1) Why does it focus only upon Egypt when there were two other major civilizations of India and China at the time? 2) If GOD is loving, then why could he do mean things? 3) and thousands of other questions. But one thing is quite clear and indisputable. The BIBLE defines for us what is GOOD character. We must not and do not pretend to have all the answers to all the questions. But when you consider political history including that of other civilizations, you begin to see a pattern of REAL INJUSTICE (as opposed to a red herring) continuously carried out in the absence of the BIBLE. The trivia of today pales in comparison to the past.
I seem to recall a certain president saying "We are not a Christian Nation" and admonishing those with "Guns and Bibles". Nothing like a slap in the face to the national "character" by your alleged leader. He could have been more inclusive by saying "We are a Christian Nation, We are a Jewish nation, We are..". But oh no, he had to be very specific to exclude.
WAKE UP!
A CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS that ends democracy is in the making. There is no greater due process than that obtained by a literate and well informed voting public. This is not about the gays or illegals anymore. This is about the power grab of our court and its abuse of our democratic society. The petty whininess of the few at the expense of a responsible voting majority ought be no laughing matter. Yet the court insists upon over-turning voter approved matters as well as Congressional approved matters as well as State approved matters. Quite obviously as far as they are concerned it matters not what millions and millions of voters say. Your vote is worth nothing. Your elected representatives are worth nothing. Your state legislatures are worth nothing. Only a handful of individuals sitting in high places (using the illogic of begging the question) matter. But then history has a way of repeating itself, doesn't it, ie, rule over the masses by the few.
Your FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND FREEDOM TO ABSTAIN is being stepped on daily by those who wish to remove the word "GOD" from our vocabulary, rewrite history, propagandize and degenerate the family morality by which we have lived for thousands of years. "CHARACTER" is being sacrificed by the self-righteous and self-serving with a false use of the words "EQUALITY"/"DISCRIMINATION"/"GENDER" and in the name of "THE ECONOMY". One need only look to the CHIC-FIL-A restaurant affair which is just one of hundreds of incidents. More and more the personal decisions of the many are being over-turned by the courts of the few elite who have their own bias. A vote is a form of speech. But your votes are over-turned by those who think they know better. If things continue to develop as they have, it will not be long before this country must pay homage and be subservient to an international court of a few legalists/jurists who will redefine the meanings of words and dictate every aspect of life to the world's populace. Then it is "GOODBYE DEMOCRACY" as we know it,..... that is unless those alleged scholars miss changing the meaning of the words " vote" and "democracy" or unless we are blown to pieces by a war instigated by the insistence of those alleged scholars in forcing their views upon the rest of the world.
As the saying goes, "Be Careful Of What You Wish For". Freedom of speech must come with a sense of responsibility. A "sense of responsibility" includes accepting the consequences of what you initiate and the consequences of sanctioning political activity inspiring the over-throw of the majority will of the people in a democratic republican society via undemocratic and unconstitutional processes.
But this is what is happening in this country today. There is NOTHING in the Constitution granting the court the right of judicial review to the point of over-turning the will of the people. In addition, the irresponsible political dialog has gone far beyond anything seen in the last 65 years,mostly thanks to the liberal viewpoint. The Liberal's excuse for criticizing others and shoving their garbage down other people's throat is to maliciously label them as "phobes", "trolls" or with some other misused term, something they themselves can be labeled as . But then the word "Liberal" is a label too, only it's use is not intended maliciously. Regardless, the polarization of society is becoming more abusive, and it is being exacerbated by the prostitution of this country's sovereignty. Meanwhile, the window opening for real justice, which lays somewhere between unacceptable tolerance and unacceptable intolerance, is becoming more closed.

We have only one real enemy, and that is the ISIL, not Assad, not Putin or anyone else. The Iraq army has proven itself useless when they deserted their posts in Mosul and left $2B worth of military equipment behind for the ISIL to acquire. And Turkish support is a joke. The only force on the ground that has proven their capability in combating the ISIL are the KURDS. And they have done an admirable job with what little they have. However, they complain that they could do a lot better if we were to provide them weapons. SO JUST EXACTLY WHY ARE WE CONSIDERING GIVING WEAPONS TO KIEV WHO ARE THE AGGRESSORS IN THE UKRAINE, WHEN THE KURDS NEED MORE WEAPONS. It would seem that Washington is too full of bluster to even know who the real enemy is.

Do not blame our problems on technology, cars, guns, atomic power, or airplanes. They are defenseless inanimate objects, and in attacking them you are only wasting your time like Don Quixote in attacking a windmill. Instead, blame those responsible for their inadequate construction or improper maintenance and use. Mass murderers and video game makers have a lot in common. And the new Common Core Educational System may be a complete pile of junk, but that is not the fault of the technology. It is the fault of the politicians who want to press their propaganda.

Everybody has their own reasons. But if you are not sick in the heart for the right reasons going beyond yourself and with the right priorities, then you must be sick in the head. Colonel Bogey had the right reasons, but the wrong priorities. "OH NO, WHAT HAVE I DONE?" he exclaimed in Bridge On The River Kwai. The road to hell is filled with good intentions. And if you have to slander others, make up names, and assassinate their character with name calling (islamaphobe, xenophobe, homophobe, racist, hate-monger, nigger, troll, paranod, psychotic, etc) to further your own ends, then there is no truth or validity in your reasons and you are sick in the head. Captain Queeg may have had PTSD, but Lt Keefer was the slandering coward in The Caine Mutiny.
The victim who says "I want justice, because I don't want this happening to others" has the right reasons with the right priorities. The victim who says "I want justice to keep me safe, no matter who else pays" is out for the wrong reasons. And the self-proclaimed Christian who violates the principles recorded by the Apostle Paul without understanding the exceptions created by Rev 18-6 & the justification of Dietrich Boenhoffer (Agent Of Grace) is not. There are plenty of unjustified murderers now claiming to be "born-again Christians". HOG WASH.

THE FAMILY THAT PRAYS TOGETHER, STAYS TOGETHER.
All to often we dismiss that phrase as being nothing but a bunch of hooey.
But is it really as meaningless as we make it out to be?
At the heart of the matter is the question, "Do you believe in God?".
The answer to that question depends upon your interpretation of it.
A more specific question might be, "Do you believe that God exists?", the answer of course is that nobody really knows for sure. To assert the affirmative or the negative for the existence of God and to deprive others of their right to believe the opposite is to be arrogant and self serving without consideration of others.
Along the same lines, another more explicit question is "Do you believe that God actually answers prayers?". Many would reply "Probably not".
And so the question of prayer becomes trivial.
But in dismissing prayer as a force in our daily lives, are we really being diligent and fair in our assessment of the question? Let's do a little more digging.
We begin by readdressing the question, "Do you believe in God?".
A most reasonable and realistic affirmative answer to this can be,
"Yes, I believe in the CHARACTER of God".
To this, we might add, "What is the CHARACTER of the God in which you believe?".
And this is where a great diversity of answers arises, with most of that
divisiveness centering about a tyrant God who demands our utmost loyalty as opposed to a loving God who cares about His children. The former concept is that espoused by the older religions (ie, Islamic,etc), whereas the latter is that espoused by Christianity. The former is subject to more human manipulation than the latter, and it should be clear that the latter is more preferred by the western world's democratic precepts.
Now we turn to the question of prayer and whether it works or not.
We have to ask, "What is your concept of prayer?".
Is it a ritual wherein we submit ourselves as slaves to a single ruling deity who can threaten to destroy us? This is the more ancient view in line with the Islamic belief.
Or is it an addiction by which we turn God into a candy machine who must meet our every demand and fulfill our every physical need?
This may be more modern, but it makes prayer nothing more than a wish and God nothing more than a genie.
No, there must be something more meaningful and significant. But what exactly?
We submit that prayer is intended to be one of the highest forms of expression of human love, and that when a family openly prays with each other and on behalf of each other, then each member has the greatest assurance that he/she is loved to the fullest extent.
And this can be an important life-saving force for the member who is experiencing the deepest emotional pain in the form of depression, anxiety, loneliness, isolation and/or loss of self esteem. So next time you see a family or a group of friends peacefully praying together without being in the face of others, don't ridicule and dismiss them as just a bunch of Jesus freaks. They might be praying for you too, although you may not deserve it.

"THE TIMES THEY ARE A' CHANGIN'"
Remember the song? And probably no other words universally uttered reflect the actual truth. Ever notice how long things took when you were a child and that as you grew older time seemed to increasingly just whiz by? It is indeed a puzzle and I like puzzles. And the biggest puzzles are in science and religion.
In science, Albert Einstein shocked the world stating that time is relative and presented us with the Twin Paradox, wherein a person staying on earth would age faster than his twin sybling who accelerates into space. As a result, time is now viewed as the fourth dimension in the real physical world.
Then came along Edwin Hubble who discovered a "RED-SHIFT" in the frequency of radiation coming from very distant stars, leading us to believe that the universe is expanding. Question - Is this a correct conclusion?
A "RED -SHIFT" refers to what is known as the DOPPLER EFFECT which is comparable to a train's whistle first approaching you at a high speed and then receding from you at the same speed. The whistle is PRESUMED to be emitting sound at the same frequency within its frame of reference. But as the train approaches you, the frequency of the sound becomes higher in pitch within your frame of reference. As the train moves away from you, the frequency of the sound becomes lower in pitch within your frame of reference, ie,, a RED-SHIFT. This is what Hubble observed in his study of the stars. And from it we have concluded that the universe is expanding. BUT .......
WHAT IF OUR OWN TIME FRAME IS ACCELERATING AS WE MAKE OUR OBSERVATIONS? WOULD THAT NOT GIVE THE APPEARANCE OF A RED-SHIFT? And, IF TRUE, that leads us to ask other questions. Science is based upon the observable REPEATABITY of an event or entity, and "TIME" is a basic unit of measure considered to be relatively stable. But what if time is in fact not stable, only appearing to be so? Is there then anything that can really be considered as constant?
I don't know the answer to this. But what I can conclude is that in the search for reality, we must reason our own reasoning and understand that OBSERVATIONS MADE WITHIN THE FRAME OF REFERENCE OF A PRESUMED STABLE PLATFORM MAY NOT BE REFLECTIVE OF THE REALITIES WITHIN THE FRAME OF REFERENCE OF A DIFFERENT PRESUMED STABLE PLATFORM.
Beyond this, I do know that TIMES THEY ARE A' CHANGIN.

Muhammad's Night Journey to Jerusalem -
It is alleged that Muhammad journeyed 800 miles from Mecca to Jerusalem in just one night and became holier and mightier than Jesus Christ . YET, UNLIKE THE HUNDREDS OF WITNESSES TO THE ACTS OF CHRIST, THERE ARE NO SUCH WITNESSES TO THIS FABLE . It would be more than likely only to exist in Muhammad's dreams. Now Muhammad may have been a good man, given the story of his life. But it is highly unlikely that his ranking in the kingdom of God is above Christ and very doubtful that he would approve of the Jihadie extremists of today since his demeanor and temperament was more of the peaceful nature, given his efforts to forge the Constitution of Medina that recognized the freedom of religious choice.

"Hypocrisy" is inconsistency leading to a double standard. To justify one type of behavior on the sole basis of "What does it harm?", and then deny a similar type of behavior in the face of the same question, ie "What does it harm?", is hypocrisy at its finest. How many would justify same-sex marriage while denying any similar right of incestual marriage (even if one of the partners was neutered)? That is hypocrisy. And for those willing to extend a similar right to incestual relationships and thereby avoid being called a hypocrite, there is an obvious ignorance of the rights of children to be protected from depraved adult behavior. So either way, the argument is wrong.
The 14th Amendment is the guarantee of equal PROTECTION of the law, not the equal right to ENGAGE in specific behavior. The current trend to proclaim otherwise is ANTI-DEMOCRATIC in overturning the expressed will of the people, ANTI-REPUBLIC in overturning the expressed will of the states and congress, ANTI-CHRISTIAN in attacking the Christian church, AND JUST PLAIN OLD HYPOCRITICAL, inconsistent and illogical.
Jesus taught that YOUR MOST IMPORTANT POSSESSION (over all else) IS YOUR SOUL. That means it is more important than money, it is more important than marriage, it is more important than anything else. It is a shame that the larger part of society does not acknowledge that. He said that: 1) The highest law was to love and OBEY God, 2) there is no marriage in heaven, 3) "Thy will be done, ON EARTH AS IN HEAVEN". So what does that tell you about what He would say regarding today's debate on marriage? Yet there are some clergy who conveniently ignore those teachings, choosing instead to indulge themselves in inappropriate behavior while professing to be Christian. Clearly they are not..
Then there are many who do not believe Jesus, do not believe there is a God, and do not believe they even have a soul. They ridicule and make a joke of it all, dismissing it as pure fantasy. Well here are a few names who would object to that ridicule.
Albert Einstein believed in God.
Thomas Jefferson was a Christian.
Sir Issac Newton was an unorthodox Christian, but still a Christian.
To call such minds idiots, along with calling Jesus Christ a homosexual as in the play Corpus Christie, is to display the most ignorant, self-serving, and arrogant dis-respect deserving of the utmost contempt.
"Degeneration" is the return to social practices well proven by history to be destructive of a civilized society.

Both Thomas Jefferson and James Madison were Democratic Republicans opposed to John Marshall's self assumption of power while Marshall was serving as both Secretary of State and Supreme Court Justice at the same time, an obvious conflict of interest by today's standards. Both Jefferson and Madison were correctly states rights advocates opposed to the centralist Federalist party.
It should be clear to any intelligent person that cultural democratic diversity and central government cannot coexist unless you recognize states rights and restrict the central government to over-seeing only those issues that are in common or those issues upon which the MAJORITY of the states agree. It is also clear that if the democratic will of the people continues to be over-ruled by an elitist small panel of judges claiming to have an alleged power of judicial review (which is not in the Constitution), then the ultimate outcome of such ideology will result in the United States paying homage to a small panel of judges sitting in a single international court.

Kudos to NBC, Carrie UnderWood, and cast for taking on a LIVE PRODUCTION OF A DECENT SCRIPT that is unedited and represents the best of American culture. Live acting requires the real skills of those involved, just like sailing requires the honed skills of seamanship not required of a power boatsman, and just like soaring requires the real abilities of a pilot not required of powered flight. You only have one chance to get it right. Those poo-fooing this production have become addicted to a diet of artificial and shock-valued entertainment bearing little social redeeming value.

For as long as Islamic countries outlaw the Bible, the Islamic religion is a phony. A true religion will not seek to coerce by threat of death. And for as long as the courts over-turn the legitimate vote of the people, the United States is a phony democracy. No where in the Constitution is the Court explicitly granted the unconstitutional alleged power of judicial review.

DISCRIMINATION - THE CRIMINALIZATION OF RECOGNITION AND HUMAN THOUGHT.
Since the Earl Warren Court, we have criminalized human recognition and thought, while at the same time decriminalized outright unjustifiable homicide.
If ever there was a word so abused, so maligned, so improperly used, it is the word "discrimination". "Discrimination" is a word wrought upon our society to be used by the conscience that has no conscience. The late Earl Warren Court and it's followers ought to be horsewhipped, not for their fabrication of a new crime, but for their wording that has imposed more injustice upon this society than it has removed.
The proper use of the word means recognizing one thing from another. It is absolutely false that the human being can be made not to discriminate.And furthermore, we want the human to discriminate.It is an intergral part of being intelligent over other species.We want humans to discriminate between good and evil.
If our educational system fails to teach discrimination,then it ceases to become anything more than a propaganda system.
The crime of "discrimination" originated when the courts found
that there were two types of sub-crimes called:
1. DISPARATE TREATMENT and 2. DISPARATE IMPACT
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disparate_impact
That "unjust disparate treatment" is a crime there is no question, as long as the treatment was truly unjust. "Disparate impact" is unintentional & is more akin to manslaughter, not deserving of a full blown punishment. No matter, the court defined a new criminal act of "discrimination" to have occurred in all cases of disparate treatment and/or disparate impact. That the court could not simply call the crime "disparate treatment" instead of "discrimination" reveals a lack of intelligence that imposes all to stoop to its level.
The Right Of Refusal To Associate Is not racism or "DISPARITIZATION. It is a Basic Human Right.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_association
Yet there are those, including some blacks like Jessie Jackson and homosexual activists, who claim they are being
"DISCRIMINATED AGAINST" when another person simply does not want to associate with them. They may be correct in
depicting the refusal to associate as being "discriminatory". HOWEVER, THERE IS NO UNJUST DISPARATE TREATMENT
OR UNJUST DISPARATE IMPACT when speaking about social behavior that has no bearing upon providing equal opportunity
to be hired or to purchase or to vote.
That word, "DISCRIMINATION", ought to be ripped from every page of every law and replaced with the proper wording, ie, "DISPARATE TREATMENT.
"DISPARITIZATION" (derived from disparity) would be a better word than discrimination.

FORGIVENESS vs JUSTICE
Acts that are reversible are forgivable. Acts that are irreversible and cannot result in restoration (such as taking
a human life without consent) are not forgivable.
It seems rather simple, but then again maybe it is not.

911, Ft Hood, Tuscon - THE VICTIMS' NIGHTMARES ARE JUST BEGINNING.

Here's a simple question. Would we have won WW II IF
the PRESENT GENERATION of POLITICIANS and MEDIA, (with their POLITICAL CORRECTNESS, LIBERAL SOCIAL AGENDA,
OPEN BORDERS POLICIES, etc), had been in power in 1941 ?
If nothing else, let your answer to that question be your guide without dismissing it as trivial.
