If a Democrat President were to be elected in 2024, U.S. foreign policy would be likely to follow the crazy, counter-productive course of hostility to Russia four more years. Instead of peace and a robust, satisfying reconstruction of a borderland tax free, ecological economics free trade zone that could arise along the Deeper River the US party of slavery wants to enslave taxpayers to buying HIMARS rockets to kill Eurasians and enrich defense contractors, dark pool arms dealers and politician’s pockets.

If Elected; Trump Will Invoke Insurrection Act
President Trump in January 2025 could use US troops to quell riotous American cities like Portland Oregon legally. The insurrection act allows US military forces to face down insurrections.
It makes me wonder though, as I look to the east, if any of the main Republican presidential candidates can jump from an aircraft at 7000 feet or more like Pres Bush 41? That candidate would deserve a 2nd look.

Supper on the Eastern Front (a poem)
A spaghetti like that Scriabin song
fate oodles it's way along
solitary chords placed à plate
with a single note scored
Called in to curly fries
potato wedges laced in Tabasco
sauces slathered like the letters
left in stanzas of betters
Mountains of mayhemic pasta
what it would finally cost
compiled politics diet of worms
such that no menu was lost
Supper was served at seven
when rockets flared overheated
each role is made with the leven
from chefs that cook for the dead.

Telephone Wire (a poem)
The raven spins
and having spun
time moves on
Laughing cackling brook
the raven spins
time moves on
The raven flies
and having flown
time moves on
On the wire
raven world is hungry song
time moves on
Woman on the wire
parasol’d one spun day
time moves on.

Israel Through the Night (poem)
Jacob was injured wrestling with God
an all night contest he couldn't win
chosen by the most Holy
an eponymous nation to begin
The struggle is edifying
the people wayward
sin is the normal deflection
the people will slide toward
Founding land somewhere
humans wandering through
a temporal hasteland
homesites are a hopeful clue
Where the kingdom of God is
more than fertile land
home is where the heart is
with God not possessions of man
Hosea showed what's wrong
he married a whore
Israel became worldly
everything an open door
Israel became a faith with a new covenant accord
peace became bonded in the crucifixion and the Lord
wickedness and evil forever overcome
a place for faith in God not a sword
Israel forever symbolizes all of us
a people of faith
with the Redeemer
in whom we trust.

Lair of the Ice Worm (a poem)
Deadly gas
of geologic melting
sudden surge brinks
jökulhlaup floods
sci-fi ice worm blinks.

Send the ISS Outward Bound with small Ion Engines
Attaching several small ion engines to slow push the ISS out of Earth orbit and toward the outer solar system might be cheaper in the long run, than spending a billion dollars to have it crash into the Earth's ocean. If it is technically possibly it might t be useful to create a kind of outpost that would provide a place that could be rehabbed to provide a temporary shelter or storage facility for missions to Europa. The disposable items approach characteristic of modern culture is kinda disgusting.
Call of the Wild (poem celebrating election of Geert Wilders)
Nations set their standards
for immigration policy
to reinforce national will
so time will pass hurdles easily
cultural divisions de frapped
Preferring the same stoic values
history should flow like syrup
smooth employment, frictionless lives
antipathetic migrants flail
when new giving just won't arrive
Wilder's hopes for progress won’t wait
rational order can’t be late
nor include I‘slam conquest goals
that atheists, queers, dopers go
to capitalism's social traps.

Faith Doesn't Implicitly Conflict with Logic
One needs to define what truth theory one is using and determine if propositions made within it correspond in some way to a verificationist paradigm. Generally comparing unrelated propositions without a logical structure creates inaccuracy obviously. One sometimes need use dead reckoning blind trust in one’s own judgements or those of God.
It is possible to use inductive logic and create presently unverified theory. On some occasions it is possible to have faith that a theory drawn from inducted parameters is true without being able to prove it objectively or empirically in the present.
Another topic slightly related.
Heart decides a lot of things, for instance if it near maximum sustainable heart rate riding a bike in hot weather one need get off and rest a few minutes to let it slow down before getting on and resuming riding. The heart’s condition informs the brain and the smart rider rests a bit. One’s heart can skip a beat simply because of an emotion.
The heartless it is said have no heart and are callous or on different about others in certain circumstances, yet no one believes they lack one because it was removed and auction for a transplant. Losing one”s heart doesn’t literally mean that very often though captives of Aztecs sometimes did etc. Emotion can be reflected in the heart as well, yet rigorous formal logic is a skill like chess playing. So one may love logic and know ever abstract form while simultaneously have a heart and give a valentine to some sweet thing Feb 14.
Concerning the Nature of TIme
Maybe there is a key insight into each (space and time) within the parameters of the special theory of relativity. Namely, why is time 100% at rest and less so while in motion?
Massless particles have no time, yet they are field phenomena; part of an existential continua that had an origin in time so that isn’t of great value. Shouldn’t all massless particles such as neutrinos occur within a field beside the Higgs.
On AI: AI will put most people out of work eventually except perhaps for laborers (until robots replace laborers). Nothing to fear. Politicians will create national basic income so Americans will finally be free to learn finger painting.
