Senators Murkowski, Collins, and others that voted against Obamacare Repeal should produce their own acceptable versions rather than sit a chesire cats voting down anything that appears. Republicans should be able to communicate adequately to know a priori what is wrong with a particular bill such that it gives to great of offense to particular senators and then avopid the embarrassment and not bring it to a vote until its fixed. That seems like basic logic and political competence one should expect from pros.

Russia 3rd Rate Hacking Behind China and U.S.A.
Apparently Russia isn't the only nation that has a lot of hackers. Five years ago China and the United States ranked ahead of Russia in world hacking ratings and that sat probably hasn't changed.
https://cyware.com/news/top-10-countries-with-most-hackers-in-the-world-42e1c94e
Microsoft is soon set to release a quantum computer language that if learned and exploited by patriotic U.S. hackers will give America a boost past China to take the world's top spot, even if that isn't politically correct.
Assuredly Russian hacking efforts to stuff ballot boxes technologically such as Mayor Daley's Chicago machine reputedly did for J.F.K. may be matched by a planet-ful of hackers including even some American one perhaps of each major party.

Puerto Rico; In Need of Nation Rebuilding Military Exercise
President Trump should send the crack nation-rebuilding team improved since the Iraq debacle, to Puerto Rico to field test their nation-rebuilding skills. Quick. They may be needed in North Korea eventually too.
Trump’s Tax Plan (Public Enslavement Act) Needs Four Brackets, Not Three
President Trump is a great guy, immeasurably better than Hillary Clinton in all things, and Bernie Sanders might be anti-Semitic since he is against funding Israeli defense needs. Even so, the new tax plan is little more than a public enslavement act.
Interpreting
the new Trump tax plan from the bottom up. Here’s how it works…
The
bottom 1/3rd bracket are dirt and not economically significant. Fifty
million of them alone have less than ½ of 1% of the national income
together.
The
second bracket-ostensibly the middle class are regarded by the most
rich as the new poor class. They will protect the class above them a
little because they are insecure.
The
top third class is really, for the most rich 10% of the top 1% that
own a third of all U.S. wealth, the new middle class. It has numerous
petty millionaires who work in the Senate and will protect their
class interests. That is a good class for the most rich to hide in
protected by their Senate servant class-peers making tax law.

http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/09/27/trump-tax-plan-called-a-huge-cut-for-the-top-1-percent/
One
of the oldest political arguments, in fact a foundational one for
democracy, is that between the demos and oligarchy. Socrates
supported oligarchy and corrupted youth to believe that oligarchy is
a good thing, and the democracy ordered him executed.
President
Trump’s tax plan with just three tax brackets provides a large
insulating class for the top 1% to hide in. It’s an amusing ad hoc
union to benefit plutocrats. The super-rich are not like those
marginally qualified for the upper third of the nation’s income
earners. They are a danger to the freedom and democratic form of
government. Yet if properly harnessed they can be of service to the
people and environment rather than dooming it to their whims and
caprice.
The
over-concentration of wealth present de facto oligarchy.
Defending democracy requires taxation on the rich sufficient to
prevent their purchase of the democracy and control of all economic
networks through ownership. The top 5% of income earners should be
charged a 65% tax rate. The founders revolted against foreign
aristocracy that was domestic aristocracy too; Presidents since
Ronald Reagan have given them love as if they were sweet toes to
lavishly suck.
If
those super-rich people wanted to accumulate even more wealth they
would need to just produce more and be of more benefit to the nation
rather than extend domination over every aspect of the economy
stagnating innovation and controlling the media that conditions the
electorate about public issues and who to victimize. A
feedback-control loop need be formed with taxation that prevents the
rich from becoming royals yet allows them to work to increase wealth
with the entire average worth of the people proportionately
increasing.
Black
Lives Matter protest about all sorts of issues rather superfluously
because the issues are over generalized. The takeover of the economy
by the super-rich that will reduce Americans to little more than
lasting wage servitude and that is something they could meaningfully
protest about, and should., or would if they were not trained to just
react with race content as their red flag. If the super-rich would
just wear red for a few days B.LM. might more readily recognize what
issues to charge. Maybe Americans have been conditioned to become
dopey slaves of plutocrats and nothing can be done about it.
Time will tell if the people are really lost without a clue about the
founding father’s political philosophy.
The
corporate tax rate being lowered to 20% might increase revenue or
not. The proposal seems somewhat like President Reagan’s
supply-side economics that got the ball rolling on the deficit build
up. I read somewhere that multi-national corporations pay no net
taxes because of deductions and clever accounting as it is, and that
U.S. corporations pay less than 5% as it is, so getting anything from
them could be an improvement. President Trump’s tax plan just
requires some simple modifications and could be given a chance.

Would Sen. Payton Manning Stand for the National Anthem?
Reports
say that former football quarterback Payton Manning may be interested
in running for the Senate seat that Tennessee Republican Bob Corker
is leaving. Manning has a reputation as a somewhat brainy
quarterback, hence he may be as able as former quarterback of the
Bills Jack Kemp at negotiating his way through politics.
It
is an irony that the NFL is somewhat unpatriotic in pr these days full of youth socialized during the Obama
administration to take a knee during the national anthem to protest
the state of race relations of police in the U.S.A. I wonder if
people expect too much from those (police) high school graduates and shouldn’t
look elsewhere for solutions to law enforcement procedure problems;
such as eliminating poverty.
If each NFL player that takes a free knee during the national anthem were instead to contribute $50,000 to the United Negro College Fund each game it would probably produce better results and scholars than were NFL players on football scholarships.
Solar Power for Puerto Rico- Enough Federal Support?
FEMA relief for Puerto Rico should include a substantial solar panel element to help the people move more off-grid and less reliant on energy networks that obviously can crash for numerous reasons. Two hurricanes will leave many people without electricity for months. Yet 12 volt off-the-grid solar and wind energy systems that can at least keep lights in the darkness going without pollution are easily to install, and can be removed when Hurricanes strike and set outside again later.
Puerto Rico had already planned to acheive 20% power by 2135...why not expedite that?
http://www.sunnova.com/service-areas/puerto-rico/
Storing energy in 12 volt batteries and using 12 volt tech that is very common in cars lets people use those cigarette lighter plug ins and adapter with little effort. LED lights have gotten much better than years ago and use little power. It is rather sad to hear reports of so many people waiting to buy gas powered generators and waiting in line to buy gas when there is so much free sunshine lighting Puerto Rico up every day.
I should note that 12 volt wind power systems are also easy to install and tech installers for emergency sites like Puerto Rico could be trained in a day or two how to wire simple 12 volt systems up for homes.
It would be great it Puerto Rico had a surfeit of electric powered 4 wheelers and fuel cell charging stations...to cut down on recovery and immobility time.

Kurdish Independence and NFL Player Disdain for National Anthem
NFL players show as little public regard for the national anthem of the United States as would Robert E. Lee or Jefferson Davis. The public wants to debate Francis Scott Keys song commemorating the War of 1812 victory over the British and defense of Fort McHenry because he owned slaves. The Union was a growing item, imperfect as the U.S. Congress is today (or less so), that only over time was able to evolve the free democratic state for all envisioned by the founders who were revolted by aristocratic elites.
The Kurds have been promised there own nation for at least a century (since the WW I negotiations) and with those promises never fulfilled there has been a coincidence of instability. Most of human history including the feudal era is fundamentally a race war-even if the races and tribes are very similar and little different. Kings sired as many as Wilt Chamberlain perhaps, and with a smaller demographic the gene pools of royals and aristocrats were reproduced in common faces. In the United States today the NFL player knee taking during the national anthem of the world’s primary democracy in support of race shows the continuing nature of human social and political structures. Not surprisingly the Kurds have found support mainly in their own race and ethnic identity, and so they vote on independence and security perhaps not trusting Iraq to withhold using chemical weapons again on them someday.
American black concerns with police brutality cannot be allayed in a month or two or by a sudden act of congress. The nation has elected government that is too influenced these days by concentrated wealth and power of course, even so it is through specific legislation that the democracy moves forward, rather than with sensationalist camera grabbing and riots. In seeking general remedies without attachment to anything real, and in seeking special race measures rather than egalitarian ideas for social betterment of all people of a given economic class, the Black Lives Matters movement does err.
The U.S.A. must be bettered and restructured from the bottom up rather than the top down. The nation could hardly go wrong if it created a guaranteed minimum income, free higher education and universal free medical care for the poor. Letting a society fill and be complete from the bottom up in economic classes makes certain that human potential is fulfilled rather than repressed, that progress develops rather than prisons. The nation is lacking concern about the bottom economic classes today and that is reflected in the decaying environment, infrastructure, increase of prison populations and impotent manned space exploration programs.
One may double the number of police and try to improve their training and equipment so they are more comfortable with a network and digital photo capture of resistant suspects confident they can be arrested in time, peacefully. One cannot create such advanced structures without a lot of money though- and that can’t occur with tax cuts. It is therefore remarkable that black leaders don’t ever mention the subject of tax increases on the rich, and that they supported the Obama tax cuts.
In an advanced post-industrial society with 3d printing of building and weapons it should be possible to reform capitalism with conformity to the new means of capital and communication. Capitalism does not naturally evolve to a perfect form of capitalism. With reforming legislation it may evolve into oligarchy or monopoly or be ripe with implicit structural inefficiencies. It is not an economic system as naturally occurring as biological evolution wherein reason may be abandoned and the best possible situation will appear even if most life is exterminated by human actions. If a tyrant owns Wall Street or at least his or its clones then that is the best state possible for capitalism? No.
In a prosperous advanced society wherein the basic ,material and social needs are guaranteed by a social net the development of new ideas, inventions and economic phenomenalities that advance human society and restore the ecosphere should be promoted. Patents should be reduced to just five years exclusivity so that generic application of new ideas can quickly follow, and inventors would receive 10% royalties from anyone using the patented product or technology.
With poverty eliminated and people generally secure and with constant technological companions to record life circumstances crime and police brutality should fade away for anyone. If one wants truth in policing and living, in crime and punishment, rather than making a show in front of cameras, people should seek to change society for all for the good from the bottom up.
And the Kurdish vote on independence should be supported by the United State. It is not improbable that the basic condition for nations of the Middle East will be racial or tribal for some time. Living in peace in close proximity to other tribes within their own secure national borders should be recognized as a practical diplomatic objective for Mesopotamia. There is no reason why the United States couldn’t support an independent Kurdistan that is united in defense agreement protocols with Iraq.

The National Football League and The Internationale
Players
of the national football league have been exploiting the national
anthem during football games for political purposes recently. They
take a knee to protest either the way black Americans are treated by
American police forces in the states or President Donald Trump. In
either case the nation nis not favored to have the gracious loyalty
of such wonderful Americans as football stars. If war breaks out the
NFL will perhaps not be people one can count on to go to basic
training to be available for service after the war is ended. Well,
they have a lot of money to count anyway.
The
national football league acquiring an unsavory reputation as yippees
loyal to the nation only if their political party wins or if it suits
them are not helpful to the cause of nationalism. Nationalism is the
right realm for the existence of democracy. Elites have been trying
to give it a bad reputation ever since aristocracies lost power.
Quite grudgingly I might add.
Elites
and aristocracies are the traditional enemy against which democracy
formed. Communism and a classless society is equally bad for it
represses individualism and promotes elite dictatorial rulers and
committees, besides usually being atheist. Aristocracies or their
proxies-national socialist corporatists such as Hitler evolved or
plutocrats dominating power through the extreme concentration of
wealth, have always warred against democracy. Especially the American
democracy. Keeping it free from global and international elites of
any sort- imperial, communist , aristocratic or plutocratic is a
never ending challenge.
Nations
can support any sort of government. A geographic region is not the
problem. The problem is the sort of government that is sovereign in
it. In the era of aristocratic, royal nationalism kings warred
against other kings. Nations did fight nations yet the nation was no
more than an extension of the will to power of a monarch.
Europe
has little history of large scale democracy. Aristocracy or
communism-totalitarianism of some form or other is behind about every
nation during its time. Athens had a limited democracy, and so did
Holland with the Dewitt brothers before being torn apart, even so
most of European history is one of elites ruling masses of inferiors,
and that isn’t what then United States was supposed to be about.
So
the NFL stars that support tribalism or globalism, Internationale
communist songs or those were the days tunes and need to protest
during the U.S. national anthem are doing a double disservice to the
nation. Or make that triple.
1)
They are bad role models training youth to hate the national anthem,
sports or football players
2)
They represent the word nation as disloyal, spoilt rich guys with
head injuries
3)
They seem too spaced to have particular issues to fix that might have
some political remedy directly such as increasing taxes on the rich
to pay for better police forces in the U.S.A., and must instead
support anomie and chaos to help destroy U.S. democracy in order to
benefit the rich
NFL Free Riders and a Minute With Gen WT Sherman
NFL
players have taken to free riding political advertising during the
playing of the national anthem at NFL games. That is, the protest by
disrespecting the national anthem written by Francis Scott Key during
a notable battle.
NFL
players are rich and could easily afford full-page ads in the N.Y.
Times expressing whatever political opinion they have. They could
hire writers to write graphic novels and cartoons to reach Democrat
Party members with their opinions, and of course they have radio,
television and Internet advertising media, as well as formation of
political action committees to express their grievances with
President Donald Trump and American policemen and women. Yet they
choose to disrespect the playing of the national anthem because they
don’t have to pay anything at all.
The
solution to the police indiscipline issue perceived by NFL players is
not to pass hate crimes laws against those who kill white policemen
instead of black because each year 99% of slain policemen are white
men. The solution is to have Congress raise a special tax on rich
people solely to pay for doubling the number of policemen, raise
police salaries 50% and double the training budget.
Quite
likely over-worked, underpaid police forces without adequate
equipment and training or supervision feel the need to use decisive
force instead of more relaxed means of apprehension of suspected
felons that result fatalities.
Thus
I sought the opinion through the means of the erstwhile reporter with
the latest tech gizmos, of Civil War General W.T. Sherman about the
national anthem.

It is ironic that the capitalism has improved the human material condition while degrading the ecosphere simultaneously. Unreformed philosophy of capitalism theory little improved from its foundation by Adam Smith cannot support less than viscous competition or alternatively plutocratic network oligarchy neither of which actually are functioning models for capitalism or ecosphere defense to follow in a new era of material and technical production.

A
basic minimum income for all to enable individuals never to be stuck
in non-productive, oppressive currents, and free education along with
a reformed U.S. patent system with patents limited to 5 years
followed by just 10% royalties for inventors, would support a
capitalist philosophy wherein it is recognized that since
everyone has basic social and material requirements for existence
cynched, that it is better for a hundred inventors to be searching
for tools to better the republic's life than for just a few that
dominate and stagnate the market forcing unresponsiveness onto it.

NFL, Seahawks and LeBron James Against the U.S. National Anthem
One
might understand Carlos Kapernick and Steve Currie of San Francisco
taking a knee in support of homosexual marriage. For LeBron James to
call POTUS a bum and the NFL Commissioner to defend the right of
players to moon the national anthem is something else. I defended
Bill Clinton a little during the darkest of his lying about blow job
impeachment days, though I never voted for him nor would not, simply
because he was POTUS and should not be overly abused. Mr. James shows
no respect for the office at all.
If
any of the players or the commissioner had ever served in the
nation’s military or received a purple heart their refusal to stand
during the playing of the national anthem could be understood if not
entirely respected. One must wonder if Ulysses S Grant or George
Armstrong Custer’s brother, twice was awarded the medal of honor,
had taken a knee during the national anthem of the day and not fought
whole-heartedly for the Union because everything wasn’t perfect in
the southern states, if life today would be the same.
The entire Seahawks team stayed in the locker room during the anthem in game against Tennessee. If anyone in the entire national football league has served in the armed forces I would be surprised. There are other ways to protest than to show disloyalty to the nation as a whole. It is simply not respectable- the players don't deserve any respect any more than Kim Jong Un.

Black
millionaire football and basketball players are some of the world’s
most overpaid performers. Lebron James, playing a children’s game
as a full grown man, is paid more than enough to provide food
annually for 20,000 starving African families. It is no surprise that
the most spolit are not loyal to the nation than supports their
extravagant, non-productive lifestyles that are about as valuable, at
best, as that of decadent rock and roll singers such as the
beknighted Elton John.
After
the cold war the national Democrat Party abandoned traditional party
politics and moved toward Wall Street and voodoo economics. Wealth
became concentrated after the Bush-Obama tax cuts even faster than
before. Public debt rolled up and black millionaire, ignorant, sports
stars move toward political leadership trough disloyalty to the
U.S.A. completely satisfying globalists that plan to concentrate
wealth for global plutocrats and downgrade the U.S.A. and its people
to junk bond status.
The
best way to secure better economic and legal rights defense for black
Americans is in securing those economic rights for all Americans
through adequate taxation of the rich, secure borders and a lawful
labor market. Solid national public financing must needs occur if the
social safety net for the masses of poor and middle class is not to
collapse during the predictable economic crisis down the road that
black millionaires will largely be exempt from. None of the black
sports stars are taking a knee during the national anthem to protest
their low tax rate.
The
late NFL convicted murderer Aron Hernandez was found to have suffered
severe brain trauma from football concussions perhaps explaining his
tendency toward violence. Ok. So NFL players are brain damaged. What
explains Lebron James and Steve Currie?
While
attending Theology School in Houston during the 90s I bought a small
motorcycle to drive to Alaska where I lived. I had a Honda Civic
wagon with a rusted out floor that I wanted to store someplace in my
absence, so I choose a garage-an old-fashioned one made of wood, not
too far from where I lived, in El Campo Texas.
Parked and walked inside the rather
dark and warm auto-repair shop toward the back where I found an
office with the door open. Inside sitting at a desk was an Hispanic
man of medium height. Behind him on a shelf was the sole item that
caught my attention; a photo of the man with a medal of honor around
his neck, in Army dress uniform, beside an American flag. A little
taken aback I asked, is that what I think it is? He answered, yes.
Roy
Benavidez was a humble and ordinary appearing gentleman entirely not
puffed up after receiving the Congressional Medal of Honor. An auto
mechanic in plain El Campo Texas, besides owning the modest auto
shop. I looked up his award citation on the Internet and it read like
a classic archetype, something like…
Sgt.
Benavidez had a glorious day. He had the day off while his green
beret team were on a mission a dozen miles away. They were attacked by 1000 N.V.A. and along with other soldiers were taking heavy
casualties. Sgt Benevidez boarded with the rescue helicopters to go
and extract the team/
Sgt
Benavidez having landed repeatedly took the wounded aboard the evac
choppers and returned to fight the attacking N.V.A. He was shot
and stabbed and engaged in hand to hand combat then continued to load
team members and other soldiers aboard evac helicopters, making sure
he was the last one out.
Sgt.
Benavidez was exceptional in another respect. He returned his medal
of honor to congress because he did not like the way the nation’s
poor are treated. He did not take a knee or something similar to show
disrespect to the nation during the national anthem though.

The
poor and increasingly the middle class too are endangered in the
nation today by the careless attitudes about public affairs proven by
the most rich. Unstable federal financing will be balanced during
emergency times not by increasing social security as F.D.R. did
during the depression. Today the rich globalists will just let the
house of cards collapse and focus on their foreign investments. Of
course black ultra-millionaires that are sports celebrities can fan
the flames of racism easier than comprehend economic reforms required
to bring the poor up to a productive standard of living, so they work
on that, taking the nation’s attention. In a nation they never
fought for and may have less loyalty to than their race.

The Unaffordable Care Act-Democrat Party Perfidy
At
the end of the cold war the Democratic Party sought to hide its
leftist history and become blue rather than red state supporters of
the rich. Their leaders supported unlimited Wall Street expansion and
annexation to the west of areas of Russia that were also within the
Soviet Union such as Ukraine and Crimea. That led to the sabotage and
subversion of post-cold war foreign policy. Domestic policy was
subverted with tax cuts for the rich (Obama), piling on public debt
and finally, the affordable Care Act known as Obamacare.
Make
no mistake- Obamacare is unaffordable for a nation with 20 trillion
dollars of public debt and a trillion a year (approximately) federal
finance gap. Obamacare is a result of Democrat Party cowardice. That
party took up a Nixon era health care plan and abandoned the quest
for plain public medical service operated by the government.
Obamacare
is corporatism pure and simple. All Americans are required to buy a
product from the corporate world and provide them with personal
medical information. Therein is the Democrat Party cowardice of
abandoning rational policy and opting to follow Hitler’s socialist
party way toward the corporate state.
The
reasonable and affordable way to provide health coverage for the poor
is to expand the V.A. hospital system and unite its services with
community health care structures that treat the poor and just not
charge anyone qualified (certifiably poor) that walk through the
doors.
The
government cannot afford to buy health insurance for everyone that
can’t afford it, and it is just plain wrong to go about it that
way-in a most inefficient manner possible.
The
sole group that might reasonably receive federal help would be those
people with serious, debilitating illnesses that cannot afford health
insurance or for who the benefits but not the illness have expired.
They should be given permission to enter the poor peoples health
service that charges nothing.
Maybe
70% of Americans don’t need federal insurance support. States are
no longer laboratories for political experimentation because of
broadcast media pressures to conform to what they believe is correct-
and the broadcast media generally is owned by the 1%. Even so a
system of free public health service for the poor should be tried in
some state instead of the Unaffordable Health care Act.

S.E. Alaska King Fisheries; Taking Account
The
population of king salmon has crashed in Alaska again and still the
state fisheries management have decided to have a winter king season
albeit with limited activity. Why do the fish have such difficult
times reproducing? Are they trying to achieve zero population growth.
Surely something could be done to encourage them to breed, perhaps
marijuana fish pellets?
King salmon are what many people regard as a kind of spirit of Alaska along with killer whales, bear and eagles. An Alaska with weak king salmon sport fishing is a pathetic condition to many, and that hurts revenue streams generated by travelers seeking to bring in a large fish on small tackle.
King salmon are what many people regard as a kind of spirit of Alaska along with killer whales, bear and eagles. An Alaska with weak king salmon sport fishing is a pathetic condition to many, and that hurts revenue streams generated by travelers seeking to bring in a large fish on small tackle.
Actually
fish management seems to be treated as a saving account that will
refill if their is enough escapement of fish-capital to reproduce
itself. Of course the overall size of the account keeps shrinking
since none of the high tech fisherman can resist taking any sizable
chunk of money-fish, and the state cannot resist giving it to them
except for a tiny quota of escaped fish that are regarded as capable
of replenishing supply each year and of course cannot. The king
salmon fishery has been beaten down to a sliver of its former natural
size for decades.
It is not surprising that fish are regarded in the same way as money. The value of fish to fishermen and the state is money, just as the velocity of money through accounts govern Wall Street investment priorities so it stimulates fish management toward resembling financial rather than natural cycles.
Instead
of treating the king salmon fish stocks as a saving account it should
be recognized as part of nature that will decline with habitat loss
from development and logging, and that over-fishing and poor
management may reduce it permanently to something as pitiful as that
of Washington State.
The
answer is simply to allow no fishing at all except for provable
subsistence needs in a third of S.E. Alaska (rotating third) for two
years of every six. it might be reasonable to allow
sports-fishing a 3/4s of the the usual size-with a very low absolute
fish number threshold, in the third of S.E. closed for commercial
fishing. Then fish can have a chance to recover some size and
numbers. Since kings are plundered in the North Pacific in their four year cycles the U.S., Canada and Russia should agree to close the ocean fishery and police that closure two of every six years, together.
The
main thing for fishermen would be to have a stable fishery. The
opportunity cost of an an irregular and paltry fishery is probably
fairly high. Given more certainty of fish numbers and seasonal
reliability fishermen could probably plan for something else to do
than fish during the recovery years.

Trump vs Satan in 2020; Who Would Win?
President
Trump has encountered a Democrat-media axis of evil intifada against
his term since inception. Robert Mueller the special prosecutor for
the Inquisition is doing his best to stick the flaming toothpicks
under the President’s toenails and expedite a kinder, gentler Pence
administration. Democrats will run a loser again in 2020 of course
since neither party permits anything else, and Trump will perhaps
want to be re-elected, so who would win?
Democrats
would elect nearly anyone including the devil whom they don’t
believe in as their god is Charles Darwin and materialism is the
dialectical evolution to servility under the 1%. President Trump
would need to have some pretty solidly bad policy actualization to
lose the re-election race and he may be on his way to achieving that.
Since
he withdrew from the Paris menage of nations CO2 deal he should get
the solar panel wall with Mexico built and act environmentally
rational on everything else. Of course he should not touch ANWR with
a ten foot pole as even exploring there will doom his re-election
chances. He ought to support full-scale infrastructure renewal
featuring electric plug in cars and truck support with charging
stations and even in-line charging while driving.
The
President needs to normalize his policy with Russia and possibly
vaporize North Korea before they vaporize the 1% the DC crowd gives
tax policy support to.
What
else can be said; the Democrats will vote for Satan before Trump in
2020-especially for not butt-kissing queers.
Sanctuary Cities Ruling Shows States Can Moon Federal Law
When
a federal judge ruled that U.S. non-federal governments can not
cooperate with federal law enforcement a fairly solid anti-federal
government ruling was made. Actually it is more difficult to get
federal judges to sign off on letting cities and states cooperate
with enforcing immigration law than not.

Federal
judges don’t want to go so far as to approve liberal sedition or
secession from the U.S. federal debt though some have probably
thought about it. Yet they do allow states to be dopey and have
homosexual marriages, though they would send the 82nd
Airborne to force states to allow homosexual marriage if states
banned it.
Apparently
the federal judiciary draws a fine line one letting states not
cooperate with the federal government that has a reciprocal in not
letting states enforce federal law.
As
Hillary Clinton said recently, democracy is in danger (or dead
already). (I can’t believe that woman is so godlessly pro-abortion
as to oppose anti-abortionist in the Demo Party)The Democrats are
dumb as sin and vote against the economic interests of thee 90% that
aren’t rich on tax policy, and the voters of Democrat politicians
select items that just concentrate wealth and make peons or serfs of
the 1%.
Silly
evolution to servility. Build the solar panel wall President Trump!
And get some energy flowing that’s renewable.

US Army Self-Driving Electric Vehicles
Plainly
plug-in electric vehicles and making their own electric power with
portable fuel cells, along with portable solar panels, is the way for
the Army to be energy independent on the battlefield. For the past
several years the U.S. military has been moving toward energy
independence and plug-in electric vehicles.
https://cleantechnica.com/2017/02/18/us-army-navy-military-veterans-love-solar-power-electric-vehicles/ image credit: U.S. Army
The
advantages of autonomous Humvees are too obvious and numerous to
mention. The ability to produce electric power from local resources
such as water and sunshine, along with air-dropped energy packs are
also somewhat revolutionary, practical and environmentally friendly.
The vehicles should be able to recharge without wires as well-even on
the move, drawing from a power ‘tanker’.
Tesla
motors is working on a semi-truck that may hit the market in 2020.
Plainly the ability to develop all-weather and climate electric
vehicles including the Arctic and deserts are apparent in an era of
global warming.
It
is self-evident that the electric vehicles would need the ability to
survive EMP attacks-perhaps with an auxiliary ghost electric wiring net.
Militant Homos Attack N.A.S.A. Chief Pick Bridenstine
President
Trump’s selection of Jim Bridenstine is getting opposition from
homosexual militants that maybe hate the idea of Americans returning
to the moon to build a lunar research station. The permanent facility
for scientific and industrial tech research needs a politician
leading N.A.S.A. to get it done or it won’t exist for maybe another
half century.
Homosexuals
don’t like the idea that Jim Bridenstine doesn’t support
homosexual marriage. People have a right to personal opinions though,
and homos should be able to prioritize public affairs enough to
realize that they don’t need a lavender trans-gender to lead
N.A.S.A. even with a degree in science, instead of someone that will
get the moon base built.

Zillary Knows Trump Assos Helped Russians Influence Election on Tentaclebook
Zillary
Westwood knows that Trump associates coached Russians on how to
influence the election via advertisements and fake news on
Tentaclebook and said so on her book tour da triomphe.
Stephen Hawking has directed a breakthrough initiative to contact extra-terrestrials and received signals bearing a remarkable resemblance to the Cyrillic alphabet. http://www.astronomerstelegram.org/?read=10675
Climate change skeptics that disavowed the election result influence by aliens and went out to the Trappist Star system to look for themselves into the prestigious alien netweb construct Tentaclebook discovered that alien influence does not exist.
Where
does that leave the Congress investigating Russian influence on
extra-terrestrial signals to the electorate? Lost in space for the
present, when the other shoe drops and reality checks and
balances follow campaign soirée-pac events, the federal reserve will make up the difference.

What is the Congressional History of Condemning Civil Political Opponents?
Recently
the Congress passed a resolution condemning ‘white nationalists’.
On its face it means condemning all white people that are patriots or
nationalists. It's o.k. apparently for the nation of Islam to exist
without condemnation, or for black nationalists to exist- or even
Mexican nationalists that want to annex the U.S.A. onto Mexico. The
law should be color-blind on behavior and never condemn anyone for
race, religion or political opinion. The Congress shouldn’t act as
collectivist demagogues.
One
wonders what the history is of the U..S. government condemning
citizens for having antipathetic political opinion that do not
comprise sedition? When it goes that far it is fine to call out the
Federal Marshals, yet the democracy of free people with equal
protection of the law isn’t a place to condemn, white people or any
other race. Neither is it a place that should tolerate condemning any
political group extra-legally beyond the objective criminal codes
that apply to all individuals at any time. Congress didn’t condemn
black rioters in Missouri during the Obama administration. It should
just condemn movements that don’t obey its laws if it must be
redundant for pr purposes.
Far-right
and far-left extremists have always been a part of the United States
without causing significant damage to national interests. Of course
the McCarthy era purged communist infiltrators from government and
Hollywood so far as possible, yet that should be no example for the
government to follow now. Sure there was racism historically on all
sides for a number of reasons, yet there were all people that
supported the concept of a nation where all people could live under
God as of equal worth.
The
United States is in an era where democratic politics and the 1% of
corporate wealth tend strongly to support globalism and the
destruction of the integrity of the United States as a nation. The
black power movement goes beyond seeking equality in all social
things and beyond to the destruction of the nation and whatever white
establishment remains in order to promote themselves.
The language does matter. Short after the Supreme Court legalized homosexual marriage the Congress ended no child left behind and replaced it with 'every child succeeds'. The Mayoor of Seattle- a leader in the homosexual marriage movement, just quite after several allegations of molestation of male children surfaced. Congress understands the symbolic consequences of its language.
President
Trump does not need to support the invasion of the United States by
Mexican illegal immigration nor the outsourcing of jobs to China.
Looking out for the interests of all the people of the nation
impartially is his right. And he doesn’t need to sign off on the
ambiguous phrase of ‘white nationalists’ in order to prove he is
working for equal protection of the law. The movement to condemn the
historical United States as a white nation of Christians in order to
promote people that feel they were second class citizens is
misguided. So many white Americans lived and died working to create
social equality and liberty for all in the United States. The
high-power anti-white racism is not leading in a good direction.
On BS in the Media
W.V.O. Quine, the philosopher, published a book titled 'Word and Object'. Words obviously differ from objects, hence there is no precise description of anything that is exhaustive or comprehensive of possible descriptions of what it is- not even of a zero-dimensional singularity.
Andy Warhol could paint a tomato soup can accurately, yet try to write about a can of coke-in-itself... ie
Intentional words strings are implicitly analogous of that perceived. Observer bias effects every report, yet words have practical value of communicating information, so valued reports are more worth reading than those that are just entertaining. People will want to pay more for better, more accurate information as always. For now they tend to over-rely on video. It is the accompanying words that are the problem. Broadcast media may not use complete bs- they may just toss in 5% bs for spicing up public interest and narrative.
An argumentative, litigious society concerned less with creating a better society and more with going forward in private interests with law as a kind of fender obviously would attract a lot of bs to desynchronize macro-social control. The positive should be accentuated rather than the negative.
NK DIctator Promises 'Greatest Pain' for Sanctions- Hillary 2020?
North Korean Dictator Kim Jong Un has promised the U.S. would receive 'the greatet pain' for sanctions imposed by the UN even though many Chinese companies sell on ebay. China may have already imposed partial retaliatoryt sanctions on the U.S. ordering its China e-bay sellers not to accept paypal from U.S. orders.
The threat may have been a Jungian leak that Hillary will run again in 2020. It is plain the Dictator's hydrogen bomb and ICBM threat is a great problem for DC being taken almost as seriously as the greater danger that oil sales might be cut off to North Korea or anyplace else on Earth.
