Can Democrat Conversion Therapy Be Outlawed in California?

The terrible behavioral modification practice of Democrat Party conversion therapy should be outlawed in California. Here in the enlightened 21st century the hateful, hurtful procedure of Democrat conversion therapy has no place. If a man, woman, combination of both or neither choose to become Democrats no one has a right to tell them that's wrong, nor try to talk them down with persuasive reasoning to normal, alternative party behavior.

Far too many people have already been harmed with Democrat conversion therapy. Some have actually become Republicans. Unusual reports of former Democrats listening to country western music have arisen in some dark quarters of certain Southern California cities. That cannot continue.

Cohen Plea Bargain May Be Just About Cohen's Other, Non-Trump Interests

Michael Cohen's plea bargain with Robert Mueller doesn't need a basis of Cohen providing information about the President. It may be no more than the Special Investigator expediting clearing peripheral, emergent, non-essential lines of inquiry such as possible Cohen affairs that were or might have been illegal. Those possible actions may involved activities Michael Cohen that did not involve the President at all.  The President's former personal lawyer had other interests than those of Donald Trump.

Ukraine Escalated Naval Belligerance a Month Ago

The Sea of Azov is a Russian pond that provides easy access to the soft underbelly of Russia for attackers. It is therefore not unusual that Russia would seize belligerent Ukrainian vessels seeking to enter it. Missile boats could threaten sites deep into Russia.

Apparently Ukraine provoked the Russian response. A month ago Radio Free Europe reported that Ukraine was working to increase its naval forces in the Se of Azov. Russia interdicted the recent Ukrainian provocation to illustrate its stakeholding rights with clarity. The following video was published  by the U.S. Radio Liberty on youtube October 10, 2018...


The United States often has very bad foreign policy largely playing to domestic media priorities with little solid political thinking involved. politicians are better at attacking than thinking and working in positive directions. Democrats are equally guilty as Republicans. With their fanatic attack on the President seeking to associate him with Russian election collusion they have driven him toward their side of restarting the cold war. For some people the reprobate new cold warrior antagonists make it challenging for those that valued ending the first cold war to work to stop the growth of the second.

I will reiterate that U.S. leadership fails to comprehend Russian sentiment and governance to quite a serious degree. Russia in the long run is as unlikely to relinquish the Sea of Azov, Ukraine or Crimea as the U.S. Government would be to give up Chesapeake Bay, Virginia Maryland.

The Democrat Party is the party of slavery and tends toward starting wars. For example World War Two, Korea, Vietnam and the Obama organizing of Arab Spring conflicts through pure daftness toward probable consequences not dissimilar entirely toward the Democrat restart of the Cold War.

I is useful to work for the construction of positive goals rather than to just create conflicts. That may be incomprehensible in D.C.

Presidents Trump, Putin and the G-20 Disconformity

Because of the Russia probe started by Democrats for the 2016 election the President has been driven far to the right regarding Russia. He cannot seem to be reasonable or well informed about Russian history. With the Mueller probe going after the Trump lawyers (another raid in Chicago) and the Cohen plea bargain President Trump had to distance himself from President Putin.

The Sea of Azov is a Russian pond historically. Imperialists seeking to dismember Russia in a war through other means paradigm wrested away integral regions of Russia circa 1994 building a bone of contention to restart the Cold War. Democrats are totally bought in to the Master-Blaster Brits as the midget ruler controlling the U.S. beast warrior with the mind of a child and want to expand Europedic power into traditionally Russian areas like Crimea and Ukraine.

The failure of good judgment, common sense and historical reason has allowed Democrats and the media restart the Cold War making a sow’s ear out of a silk purse.

The Problem of Anti-Christs

Some may believe another Democrat President anti-Christ will be elected. One that supports making sin official U.S. law more fully than it already is (there are a few modest policies that qualify). There are already lots on anti-Christians in the world. Some Christians have an eschatological belief known as pre-tribulationism that believe there are special end times leading to Armageddon ahead with a special political leader of wickedness working for the Devil. Pre-tribbers are wrong i.m.o.

                     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X36GZn5iMpU

There are three Christian eschatological viewpoints that have existed since the second century a.d. The other two don’t have a future Armageddon in them. Post-tribulationsists believe the New Testament end of days occurred in the First century A.D. when Jerusalem was destroyed as the Lord prophesied it would be. He said that all the events he spoke of would occur while some of his generation were yet living and they did. Pre-tribbers ignore that and interpret the Revelation incorrectly as did Mohammad. Martin Luther said that the Book of Revelation had a lot of straw in it, and he was talking about brick making I believe. The Revelation written by John had veiled language so the anti-Christ (Caesar Nero- number 666 in Jewish number of the era) and contemporary persecutors would not have an easy time of understanding it.

The Kingdom of God is within you. Until the age of the Gentiles is fulfilled the Kingdom of God will increase. The thousand years or millennium in which that happens indicated ‘a very long period of time’- not exactly a literal expression. Actually it could go on for tens of thousands of years, I would think. What may wrap it up is the time when humanity just can’t go farther with its own devices and degrades human life with some sorts of technical morphing into horror. Then God may once more save humanity from itself, or at least the elect.

Why the U.S.A. Din't Help Ho Chi Minh to Assert Vietnamese Nationalism in 1946

The United States had a lot of work continuing in 1946 when the Viet Minh started a civil war of revolution against France. France owned Indochina then and Vietnam was part of it along with Cambodia and Laos. Communism was a problem in China and Korea also was a concern. MacArthur had to oversee reconstruction of Japan and a Marshall plan for Europe was needed to rebuild Europe.

A wiki article pointed out that U.S. Sect of State George Marshall warned France that its colonial policy was obsolete. Yet the U.S. would not have found supporting Ho Chi Minh to revolt against France o.k.

The French Fourth Republic- a provisional government that existed from 1944 to 1958 may not have been the best to address the Vietnam problem. France had a lot of war damage and didn’t have a spectacular military at the time. After the Japanese left Indochina and the Philippines there was a lot of human strife to recover from. It is reasonable that the Viet Minh wanted to assert national sovereignty with Ho in a revolutionary government since all the foreigners were malodorously cruel it might have seemed.

With a global circus of the tragedy of war to recover from and the complexities complicated by communism, Stalin, Mao etc Providing U.S. military support to the Viet Minh just wasn’t in the cards. The U.S. had a policy of containment of communism that continued through the next few decades that sometimes was a blunt instrument of policy that produced collateral damage. Sometimes people overlook the bureaucratic inertia that takes root in U.S. foreign policy (and in other nations too) that works against clever individual solutions for different nations and situations. The present Democrat party efforts to reignite a cold war with Russia is a good example. Perhaps the different policy stream vectors that shape formation of foreign policy are too many sometimes for a political leader to have an opportunity to deliberate and select the best course of action.

Bernoulli Equation Applied to Dimensions (note)

The idea of Bernoulli's equation paradigm applied to dimensions in a cosmological context is interesting. Especially interesting to me is how dimensions at T=0 and plus time in any direction-even vectors of pre-thermodynamic determinism, would actualize with and/or without mass.

Relativity criteria objectively cohering within accelerated dimensional content of various numbers and scales are fascinating to consider as well.

Russia Owns the Sea of Azov

Apparently Ukraine provoked the Russian response. A month ago Radio Free Europe reported that Ukraine was working to increase its naval forces in the Sea of Azov. The Sea of Azov is a Russian pond that provides easy access to the soft underbelly of Russia for attackers. It is therefore not unusual that Russia would seize belligerent Ukrainian vessels seeking to enter it. Missile boats could threaten sites deep into Russia.

A Yellow Browed Bunting or Some Kind of Warbler?

I caught a photo- not a very good one, of a bird at Wrangell Alaska November 28. It might be a yellow browed bunting or a finch or warbler...I don't really know. Black and yellow head stripes; the breast feathers were slightly yellow too.
