Arguments 4 the Existence of God (video 2015)


Someone wondered about the covenant of works versus the covenant of redemption and where Jesus fits in; maybe the question is a categorical error, though it reminds me of Plotinus' query about why 'the One' or God would emanate or create anything to start with since He is perfect and one might infer that anything created would need to be less so. That is God transcends covenants-for-non-contingent beings, though He has stipulated them. Jesus is God and satisfies the covenant of works with the covenant of Grace-for-the-elect. Redemption is grace sine qua non. No one besides the Lord could satisfy the covenant of works, hence the covenant of Grace appeared with the Lord.

Trump Rally and Social Media Protest Organizing

Presidential candidate Donald Trump has experienced flash mob protest phenomena that is I suppose an inevitable outgrowth of the Twitter and Facebook social media mass organizational protest coordination of recent years. Special interest protest groups can plan disruptions at any targeted political meeting and get news coverage. Rival candidates will then exploit the action and blame the candidate for being victimized by political special interest attacks.


Chicago and St. Louis each had substantive crowd protests at Trump rallies. St. Louis has enjoyed a year of protests following the police shooting of a black giant youth walking in the middle of the road after a shoplifting mission who allegedly attacked a police in his car who had stopped to inquire what was up. Trump rallys are a good substitute for the St. Louis protests that have lost steam yet morphed into a black lives matter movement looking for any place to flash mob and protest. In Texas a police officer was shot and killed last week by a recently released felon that stole a gun from a house and waited for a police office to walk out of the station. Police lives matter too. In fact everyone's life matters.


I watched a youtube video of Muslim Minister Louis Farrakhan speaking out against that 'wicked woman' Hillary Clinton. Chicago has a lot of ethnic political organization these days and it is too easy to crank up a protest in that city. I tended to agree with Farrakhan about Clinton and Libya, even so his antipathy toward white people that demand to be 'bosses' seems a darker ethnic note that is an undercurrent to the 2016 Presidential campaign that is a racist demand that a non-white male be elected President.

Donald Trump is the lightening rod for mobs of attacking racist, sexist, anti-capitalist, anti-God, anti-straight-even anti-United States political opposition. It is an interesting post-cold war evolution. Maybe it is easier to attack the U.S.A. from within rather than from without and dismantle everything it was.

Lawyer Is Not A Good Presidential Occupation Now

Lawyer Presidents early in the nation's history weren't so bad; 24 Presidents have been lawyers, yet in the 20th century they have tended, like V.I. Lenin (a lawyer) to be too inclined to do with the executive post whatever they like or think they can get away with.

Consider the four lawyer-President; F.D.R., Bill Clinton, Barrack Obama and RIchard Nixon. Those guys tended to think of the country's institutions as putty for them to mold. They did not respect the nation's institutions much-not even marriage.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Presidents_of_the_United_States_by_occupation

Ted Cruz is running as a natural born Canadian-he thinks he can get away with it and has no respect for the one thing-being a native born American citizen-that prevents Vladimir Putin from running if he were to get U.S. citizenship. The nation revolted against imperialism and Cruz just lacks the sensitivity to comprehend.

Marco Rubio wants to raise the minimum retirement age for social security to 70; about the average life expectancy of black working men and the poor. Raising the minimum age for those with solid retirement income and savings would be reasonable since some of those live to 100, yert the poor just struggle to reach 65 and many don't make it. Why make those suffering working people go on probably without work since few hire older people and groveling sleeping in ditches or wherever from 55 to 70.

Businessmen, scientists, educators and generals make substantive changes when Presidents rather than just stuffing the rich or burning down the nation';s institutions and houses as the Clinton mortgage lending deregulation restructuring did eventually.

Why Not More Ideas for Easier Earth to Orbit Launches?

Since so many people are impatient with N.A.S.A. manned space Earth to orbit methods I thought I would add another concept on the topic.

I like electro-magnetic accelerators a lot. They can easily achieve orbital escape velocity. Originally developed for the S.D.I. rail gun they have been used by the Navy for artillery on ships and in the metal-storm pistol manufactured by an Australian. It would be a useful concept approach to put an e.m.a. aboard a very large edge-of-the-atmosphere balloon launch platform and lift an orbital capsule 'bullet' up to the rarefied air where it would then be fired through the tube and into space.
That would be stage one of the idea. The balloon itself might be a winged delta shape and have rockets in it to fire when the e.m.a. sends of the space capsule in an opposite direction from the balloon delta-wing platform. The platform-launchers should be fairly cheap and easy to reload with another capsule for launch.

Obviously there are a zillion varieties and permutations for the shape and composition of the high-altitude space-capsule lift and launching platform. The balloons could be collapsible and the very large delta/balloon object could glide down to Earth after use for reloading perhaps landing in the ocean near Cape Canaveral Florida.


Less atmosphere less friction for the manned or cargo bullets. I haven't time to write more about the idea presently.

Wiping Clean Vulgar Primary Issues

Much ado has been made by the pristine Republican elite about the infrequently rough language of Donald Trump as if Teddy Roosevelt or Andrew Jackson would have turned scarlet at such language. In the stratosphere of Republican PACs with lots of spare money to throw on campaign spots probably from zero-interest Federal Reserve loans to banks than are thereafter free to mint four e-dollars in new loans out of thin air for each buck from the Fed borrowed rough language is seldom used. On Wall Street behind the scenes the elites have prayer breakfasts each day before skimming billions in high-speed trading. The elite Republicans for ZIllary PAC financiers may use unkind words themselves behind golden doors.

I personally wouldn't mind a million bucks in order to experience some of the selflessness of consolidating wealth. If Donald Trump can return some manufacturing opportunities from China or coordinate a new easy-access print on demand industry that could make timely things like Presidential candidate toilet tissue and delivery them to retail outlets innovators might be able to just dial-in an idea and get the product made with a percentage of the profits eventually deposited in a friendly bank account.

Sht-if enough candidates remain until April to have a semblance of competition three or five different a-wipes could be big sellers to millions.

Sure it is good to carefully select one's language and exist in a non-pressured way wherein one may offer an appearance of saintliness and composure to the public. In my opinion though that is not always possible. A good candidate with rough language now and then may have the redeeming quality of good policy for the public. If elected he may use a teleprompter and not ad hoc so much, if he decides to remain an American citizen and not return home to Canada to run there. A candidate sometimes needs not only to tone down the rough edges although that may be something a reality-TV era public likes, sometimes he needs to wait and see if he gets the Presidential nomination before choosing to denounce any spare citizenships in foreign nations he or she may have.

Economic Analysis Necessarily Is Political

Economic policy analytic is necessarily political. Global economics isn't democratic. The most rich are best able to exploit it. An economist may be talking on American radio or television with comments that may be completely anational and empirically global . The economist may be irrelevant to national concerns of citizens.

It is the poor and middle class that stand to benefit the most from nationalist economics. Yet because of the Clinton's Yale-Oxford Boston takeover of the Democrat party and the Bush-Romney ultra-elite hegemony over the Republican Party the United States may be said to have a no-party system with Donald Trump possibly trying to upset the status quo.

Back in the day when the U.S.A. was a somewhat isolated power economists could reasonably talk about economic policy without concern for the globe except for matters of tariffs on trade goods and the value of foreign currencies based on their gold holdings. Today of course that has all changed and economists may default to planetary economic criteria concerning labor available globally, planetary transport costs of distal manufactured goods, tax rates in various nations on currencies in other nations, etc. Manipulating international politics and supporting various conflicts abroad directly effects economic criteria exploited by global economists for the benefit of investors in international markets comprising holdings of the plutonomy (the upper 5% of the 1%).

Economics for the benefit of U.S. citizens differs from economics for the benefit of plutonomy or economics for the benefit of the dar al Islam. Economic policy for the benefit of Russians differs from economic policies designed to benefit Argentinians or Mexicans. National economic policies are the sole direct approach to intentionally benefiting national citizens yet many may benefit indirectly, sometimes from regional politics.

Presidential candidate Ted Cruz is a natural Canadian citizen. If elected President of the U.S.A. he would also technically be a subject of the British Empire and complicate ancient ideas about the legality of the American Revolution against the King. He might also enable the United States to consider a legal annexation of Canada through a consolidation procedure involving business transcendence of boundaries. As a Canadian citizen and subject of the Queen Ted Cruz could exploit NAFTA from both sides of the border and possibly get elected President of Canada simultaneously and agitate to make Canada the 51st state. Economic policy necessarily is political.

Environmental issues are another factor determining economic definition and relevance to national citizens. There is an entire academic discipline concerned with the objective state of natural resources and human economic interaction with them that objectify the value of those resources and the real cost to society of degrading and/or depleting them. Environmental economics is not just a preference for green or renewable resources that don't pollute.

An economist may be global, regional or national, she may be an environmental economist or not, she may be a socialist, a corporatist, an unlimited existential capitalist or a reformer with a preference for a new synthetic economic method of her own invention. One could make a table to show some of the varieties or combinations of economic viewpoints and recognize some of the confusion that goes abroad through the broadcast media and publishing world when various economic analysis and remedies are advanced to the public.

There are many short-term existential economists it seems concerned with short-term phenomenal changes to various  disingenuous government measured statistics of inflation, employment, value of bonds, treasury notes, public debt, tax rate and so forth with various theoretical filters for interpretation also based upon their own choices for economic viewpoint. Many of those are what the public gets in the U.S.A. today. It is a sort of possession is 9/10ths of the law sort of economics, rather than one of cold, rational objectivity for the good of the people and environment.

Why Vladimir Putin Is An Admirable Historical Figure

President Vladimir Putin is an admirable historical figure. Well, that settles that. Putin is comparable to the Tsar Boris Godunov who led Russia during a serious 'time of troubles in the latte 16th century

Boris Godunov https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_Godunov

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Russian_rulers

Some presidential candidates such as Marco Rubio have criticized Donald Trump for saying Putin is an admirable guy, yet Trump is right. Of course Americans have made it a knee-jerk requisite patriotic necessity to have Russia as at least a sort-of foe since the cold war. It is difficult to teach an old dog new tricks and American politicians love to hate Russia or at least its leaders if they don't kiss hut of the U.S. government.

Putin has needed to keep Russia strong and rebuild it during its time of greatest weakness. defend Russia against the west seeking to take its historically Russian lands and threats from Muslims, terrorists and of course China, and deal with the the Russia mafia as well. There were more threats and a requirement to keep people from starving too. No American President since F.D.R. have faced a fraction of the challenges and overcome them without complete failure. Instead, given all the opportunity in the world and immense military power after the end of the cold war in january 1990 the United States has built its public debt to 20 trillion dollars, continued to mess up te environment and get engaged in protracted foreign conflicts directly and indirectly that were avoidable. They also let the world economy nearly crash with banking and mortgage horseshit through deregulation and political stupidity.

A somewhat Tsar-like President is not a good thing except in comparison to what might have been instead to take an idea from Churchill.

One hopes the U.S.A. evolves some competent leadership one day ad that Russia evolves a perfect democracy with a good environment however I think that may take some time.

Presidential Candidates May Make 'Phony' Campaign Promises

With the lawyers attacking Donald Trump in and out of the debates and establishment Republicans calling Donald Trump a 'fraud' and a 'phony' it is worth recalling that it is politicians themselves making the claims, and politicians habitually make phony and fraudulent campaign promises. The disingenuous insinuation of political veracity of the accusatory candidates makes for a chuckle.

Candidate Trump standing amidst two lawyers that are professional arguers and polemicists too in a sense enjoys an experience something like being attacked from two pit bulls while riding a bike with them biting at each foot, and Trump has the prospect of the Democrats lawyer team of the Clintons ahead. It is somewhat amazing to me that he can actually enjoy the challenge.

Yet as serious as are sins of commission in making false campaign promises are, equally bad are the sins of omissions such as candidate Obama made in concealing his willingness to legalize homosexual marriage. If he had made that known in 2008 it is doubtful that he would have been elected, and neither would Hillary Clinton have replaced Obama since she too supports the abomination.

I should explain that I have heard a couple of jokes recently. One is the perennial one of 'What is the difference between a hippo and a zippo? One is heavy and the other a little lighter'. The other joke was on the radio. it was reported that a school board candidate believes President Obama was a homosexual prostitute in his 20's. In order to earn some extra cash I would guess. Yet I wonder where people gt that kind of idea or if it is just made up out of thin air.

Iit may be that most candidates are so daft rather than disingenuous that they have no idea about the potential for implementing policies that will cost unforseeen trillions. Such guesswork and blindness to national economic situations is considerable it seems.

I especially like the idea that the candidates other than Trump are competent on foreign policy. They may be able to tell Botswana from Argentina or Peru from Canada, yet they generally support incompetent Middle Eastern policy and Ukraine policy too that costs the nation a lot and Europe too in lost potential. None have solid Mexico policy that would stop all illegal immigration yet help develop Mexico quickly with a green and sustainable economic assistance and full employment policy. Instead they seem to prefer the decadent (literally) policy of corruption.

Romney Begins Werewolf Campaign Against Trump

Mitt Romney like his late fellow Massachusetts political cult leader Ted Kennedy who attacked Democrat front runner President Jimmy Carter in the 1980 election, appears to be trying to divide his party and let the opposition take the victory in the fall Presidential election. It seems an example of the Republicrat corporatist kickback network at work in Congress in recent times.

Romney was the elitist loser of the 2012 Presidential election and apparently cannot relinquish the spotlight. He may hope that someone will suggest he enter the race to save the party. His may be a back-door plan to run for President again on the cheap since the Cruz and Rubio campaigns aren't as popular as cold wet noodles with mildew and rotten tomato sauce.


Romney is expected to serve up some live escargot nuggets of political banality today in a speech claiming Trump is a fraud and a con artist. When the establishment convicts people without due process of law it is especially onerous to hear. Rubio should know better since he has a law degree. The law is generally a sufficient tool in high-profile cases to arrest perpetrators. When officials of the court convict by decree without resonates in fascist harmony.

Why the Republican & Democrat Establishment Fears Donald Trump

The Republican and Democrat party establishments fear Donald Trump. Those parties are preponderantly insider special interest kickback collectives heavily invested in the globalist financial networks. Trump is largely self-financed and not sold out to favor-traders nearly so far as career politicians that haven't an original thought in their double-spaced and appropriately marginalized minds..

The United States today is something of a declining bureaucratic power servo unit to the ultra-rich. The party establishments seek preferred positions at the teats of financial power and look upon Trump who can afford to go buy milk at a store as a threat to the complex social hierarchy of fiscal sucking.


The 2008-2009 Federal and Federal Reserve financial bail-out of Wall Street cynched up Mussolini-Hitler's political hybrid invention of corporatism. It is not ultimately an efficient system as government theory corrupts free enterprise and political liberty.


I've invented a hybrid political philosophy myself based on ecological economics that remains free enterprise based yet has a guaranteed minimum income and low-entropy criteria for review of business developments. Corporations would also be limited to 5000 employees. The most rich could only have 300 times the wealth of the most poor. Civilizations needs to tighten up. Business that restored lost ecospheric health would be prioritized. A no-net loss of ecosphere policy would be applied to business zoning. Different value theories would replace the one with simple excess consumption and indifferent regard for social and environmental harm in order to get more hamburgers or cash than one could consume in millions of lifetimes.

A.I. Chess Coaches

I don't know if A.I. chess coaches already exist at any kind of advanced level-probably. I don't think they are available at Amazon.com for $19.95 yet. One wonders when the A.I. chess coach will appear with a variety of speech synthesizer voices to analyze one's chess games and provide instruction about the game. With databases of millions of chess games available I suppose, the coach could have the style of Morphy, Fischer and Lasker all in one, and council how to defeat the Carlsen or Kasparov style.

It is strange how tech evolves to make the game itself change.

Zillary, Tet Cruz, Ruby Tuesday and Late Dictator Ferdinand Franco

The Late Dictator Ferdinand Franco Throws Support to Tet Kruz

With Super-Tuesday Presidential primary elections tomorrow endorsements and support for candidates is important. The Zillary for President committee is hopeful of a boosting endorsement by black comedic actor and educator Bill Cosby. Zillary, whose fame rests largely upon being the white of former President Sir Edmund Gill Favour Oxford, said she has done more for American blacks than anyone, even more than for Benghazzi, and would continue to do so if elected. The Christie Kreme Donut Good Old Boy said Trump goes best with his latte.

Late Dictator Ferdinand Franco's super PAC threw support to the Tet Kruz for President campaign overnight where it was day. Declaring that Senator Kruz represents the best Madrid-Seville-Havana-Montreal-Austin axis of Republican revolutionary espiritu the support to put down recrudescent communards of the civil war heritage was welcomed by the Kruz campaign promising to kiss the dictator's sarcophagus when next in Spain as a true product du Kannaduh

In other campaign comedic news Senator Markyo Rubes received support from the Che Guevara memorial PAC and Chicago Ladies Auxiliary White Submissivist PAC leader Wolfina Blues. Campaign jokesperson Ruby Tuesday said the hounds of hell would descendf from the heavens on his political rivals soon. Donald Trump got endorsement from KKK PAC leader David Duke. Duke, famous for attending a meeting in Tehran during the Amadinijob era on the fictitious lies and half-truths holocaust tour concerning Jews is associated with a Super PAC for Trump. Super PACS may be formed without a candidate's knowledge or consent. Trump declined to put the Klan hangman's noose hyper-link symbol on his website in exchange for the endorsement saying he didn't know Duke.

An Iranian-Cuban-ISIS Super PAC for continuing President Obama's policies also formed to support the Zillary Eastwood for President of Wealthysleague College campaign. She said she is running for President of the U.S.A., and they said they were awaiting support for a nuclear warhead development program and deserved them before Libya.

On the Past & Future of the U.S. Economy (with video)

The Economic Future of the U.S.A. Isn’t Cinched

None can see the future with certainty except God for whom all time is present. However the economy of the United States like that of all geographic regions of Earth has tended to increase output over time. With few exceptions productivity increases and environmental health decreases over the course of human history. nations and civilizations rise and fall yet geographic regions tend to be more fruitful as people and technology multiplies. That historical trend is itself not guaranteed.

If globalists one day decide that some other nation would be a better place to centralize, as Constantine once shifted the Roman Empire capital east to a new city, the majority of Americans that would be rather politically ineffective could have little to say about it if they cared to.

The United States has a blessed past in being sparsely populated with rich natural resources. Like a fire given a dry forest the economy inevitably grew over time as did the population. The conditions were natural enough yet the conditions have changed significantly since the end of the cold war in January 1989.

The civil war was an effort of the oligarchic southern states to break free from the United States. Continuing southern inclusion was forced through war. In the future new reasons to end the U.S.A. may arise from actual morally acceptable causes. Likely causes are vast public debt debt and the concentration of wealth and power negating democracy though there are other reasons for political bankruptcy and dissolution etc.

The historian Arnold Toynbee (author of A Study of History) noted that all prior civilizations except for two or three no longer existed. The factors that make the United States what it was may no longer exist in the years ahead. The U.S.A. like an old soldier may fade away to be replaced by an immoral majority loyal to post-national, post-rational ideals.

Maybe a future majority of Hispanics may decide to annex it to old Mexico perhaps as a state of global plutocrats. Maybe oligarchs may change its name to honor a future civil rights control dictator and the nation will fade away. States as a term of pluralism may seem subversive to a one-nation Earth civilization leadership cadre and be replaced with some harmless term like Opsland or Section 3000.

Already cellphones and Internet have subverted national boundaries as the rich do what they can to avoid taxes in business with trans-national gimmicks. Things that held the U.S.A. together before pcs and end of taxes sufficient to stop automatic reinforcing concentration of wealth are fading away.

The United States after the revolution was spared kings and dictators. Democracy has been the fact in the past. Generals that fought in wars such as Washington and Jackson became Presidents. Rather ordinary men like Lincoln and Grant responded to the call of the age and rose to greatness. Homesteading allowed a man to work with his hands and build a place he could call his own without much financial trouble. manufacturing could be done in the nation itself. It soon became a world leader at manufacturing and transportation. Opportunity existed in the U.S.A. in a variety of ways. The United States was a do-it-yourself nation with a democracy that would find that in the Spanish American war recruiting offices were swamped the first day volunteers were called to serve in the Army.

Today little of the heritage remains. Production of new inventions and innovations requires a convoluted and costly patent process that may cost millions annual to defend just one patent. manufacturing at a competitive price must be done in China or Mexico-overseas generally adding to cost and difficulty. Homesteading is long dead. It perished in Alaska by the 1990s were some land in the late 80s was still available. banking and business is global and great advantages go to concentrated wealth and power. While the tax rate was at 90% on the top class Americans prospered in the 20th century right through the 1960s. As the tax rate was cut the difference between rich and poor increased.

I believe it was recently reported today the middle class is no longer a statistical majority. Like Mexico wealth is being concentrated at the top. The richest 10% take 90% of the annual income of the nation each year. That is runaway wealth and power. With such extreme imbalance the U.S.A. may evolve into being a democracy in name only. The media is a bought and paid for tool of the 1%.

The U.S.A. has no guarantee that it will continue to exist as a somewhat egalitarian society with the differences in earnings between the most wealthy, the middle class and the poor not being very great. Environmental reports indicate that the low latitudes are desiccating and food production will shift north without great desalinization canals and new fresh water production in deserts. The inventor of the Gaia Hypothesis James Lovelock said that the American midwest may be a desert in 200 years.

The U.S.A., like the ancient Roman Empire, has no guarantee that it will continue to exist or prosper. Even until the invasion of the Goths some Romans probably believed the good life would never end. With right environmental and social reason the U.S. could improve its prospects. As things stand it doesn’t look terribly sound.

The next global derivatives and mortgage banking swindle scheme invented at M.I.T. (where the Monte Carlo algorithm was hatched) or academia elsewhere transferred to Wall Street may bring the dollar crashing down too. There has been so many hundreds of billions and even trillions of loose dollars made up by the Federal Reserve in recent times to keep the rich economy going and wealth concentrating that one views the value of honest physical labor as dubious. Dope dealers and bankers might regard physical labor as cheap units to exploit working for chump change.

When the poor and middle class lost homes during the 2008-2009 economic crisis, the rich corporate world would eventually buy up those homes with free Federal Reserve zero interest loans transferring wealth upward again.

When ordinary nations like Argentina and Mexico cannot pay their foreign and public debts they cannot just run the electronic currency presses and make more cash without hyper-inflation. Euro-nations no longer even have the option. The U.S.A. as the world’s leading financial power has been able to get away with increasing money supply in recent years from thin air. The dollar value is tied to nothing except American power, prestige and the impractical choice of crashing a currency where so many abroad are invested in it. No guarantee exists that the dollar will always be regarded as sound by investors.

If the U.S. were to collapse and be phased out by Americans to liquidate their debt, the continent itself probably would continue to prosper. Race is no longer a reason for war domestically. Foreign nations however may view the U.S.A. as a target for racial takeover. Mexico has a President who views the U.S.A. as a chicken dinner without a right to be free from foreign demographic illegal President Fox has a your house is my house disposition even after NAFTA created a huge number of new economic opportunities for Mexico. Maybe the wealth in Mexico is being networked to trickle up as it has in the U.S.A. Mexican poverty drives workers into the arms of predatory American cheap labor exploiters undermining domestic labor value.

Obviously the thousands new technologies for democide through covert bio-war design and so forth that have been added to the post-industrial world could end the U.S.A. overnight. It is environmental and finance reasons that are the clearest present dangers followed closely by low taxes on the rich and the great gap between poor, middle class and the rich that makes freedom practically a patronized fact until the powers decide to finesse censorship, or ruin on citizens deemed less than ideal to the security of the 10%.

If the U.S. were to lead Lunar development in an environmentally conservative way, support private enterprise moon manufacturing of structures and true space-ships it might enjoy some kind of financial benefit within a half century that might also be of value to a humanity troubled by global warming. High tech solutions to new problems may arise from new fields and technologies presently unknown.

The inner solar system might be developed for human habitation on planets, moons and new forms of zero-G structures with the Earth's moon being a primary base for the effort to invent new living and working spaces in a variety of decentralized approaches. The Earth too should experience U.S. leadership beginning in the U.S.A. with sustainable transportation and living infrastructure that works inexorably to conserve biota and sustain natural habitat health for the wild and humanity.

Clinton Legacy; 1.6 Million families Live on $2 a day

Bill Clinton's welfare reform increased extreme poverty in the U.S.A. such that two decades later 1.6 million families in the U.S.A. live on fewer than $2 dollars cash per day. Bill Clinton also enabled Wall Street deregulation that supported the derivatives and home mortgage flip flam.

President Obama kept not only the Bush II tax cuts for the rich, he also kept the Clinton extreme poverty reform. So its natural that the Congressional Black caucus supports Hillary Clinton continue concentrating wealth for the most rich.

Playboy Bunnies; Better Chess Players Than Average Women

Statistically speaking, Playboy bunnies probably play chess more than the average American woman. It is difficult to explain why. In a rather technical investigation that looked into the question of do women or men play more beautiful chess games, the researchers also investigated who it is that plays chess among women shattering certain notions about beautiful women.

The research did find that men play more beautiful games than women of course, for women I suppose don't require quite as much sophistication to checkmate as men if one is drawing from gender behavior as an explanation for chess behavior partly, however it isn't my research and I am not sure what makes a chess game beautiful unless it is when an online opponent trashing taking you is adroitly defeated, asks for a rematch and is finished off in five moves.

http://en.chessbase.com/post/do-women-play-more-beautiful-chess Here is the article on the research. 

Trump & Sanders; Getting Real

Sanders led the first student sit-in in Chicago history being arrested in 1962 protesting racially segregated student housing. All of the major candidates besides Trump are lawyer-career politicians. Sanders at least has backbone, and was the sole Democrat to vote against making Bush-era tax cuts permanent. Keynesian economics are for emergencies and not viable permanent policy. The nation has nearly 20 trillion of public debt and Wall Street was pumped up with free loans from the federal Reserve the past several years. For each dollar a bank is given free it can also loan out 4 dollars based on the 1 dollar in effect electronically minting money. Thus the Federal Government has been giving trillions of free dollars to Wall Street banks during the Obama administration. Wealth is being concentrated and the public looks to Trump or Sanders to get real, though no candidates are good at environmental economics and the bees are dying out.
