Was an Interesting Eclipse; Not Hale-Bopp Though
The eclipse was interesting...something less than totality here although it darkened enough that the birds started singing as it became lighter.
I took a few poor photos covering the lense with my eclipspe glasses. That distorted the photos and produced interesting images.

It's possible Democrats will blame Pres. Trump for the sky darkening. At least the event suggest that global cooling might be achieved in a real emergency with some sort of adjustable screen serving to partially block out sunlight.

Politics of Blocking Social Media Trolls
The politics of blocking social media supposedly is a gray
area. Like the national debt, the lack of quality dental service for the poor,
and preventing the U.S.A. from evolving to no more than a cheapest labor, no
corporate tax zone for global plutocrats as an equivalent to airport duty-free
shops. Government has trouble in deciding how to handle trolls attacking its
social media web sites.
The fault lies mostly with Twitter, Facebook and others that
allow hostile posts to co-exist with the good. If the primary page user is to
really ‘own’ his page he or she needs the ability to edit what appears there or
deny it altogether as any newspaper or magazine editor would.
The primary user generally does not have the ability to sort
all posts into good input or troll- the equivalent of spam. Politicians need to
be sensitive about the right of people to express their true opinions to those
in political office-or even to political offices and departments, yet primary
page user politicians also need to keep bad trolls from taking over the primary
user page. The easiest and most democratic thing to do would be for Twitter and
Facebook to create different streams of comments paths that the primary user
may sort comments into if he wants, rather than to just delete them.

How Would a Floyd Mayweather Jr vs Bruce Lee Fight Have Gone?
Mayweather's March 26 opponent has said that for Mayweather to train against a martial arts opponent as good as he is he would have to resurrect Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee was a great Wing Chun kung fu figher of course, yet if restricted to nothing beyond legal boxing rules could he have survived seven rounds with Mayweather, Marvin Haglar, Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns or Sugar Ray Leonard? I am skeptical about that.
WIng Chun kung fu controls the center line and moves forward to attack as a defensive method.One drives one's opponent backward off-balance and counter-punches a lot. Yet kung fu evidently uses a lot of different parts of the body to strike including elbows, knees, back hands etc. None of that is permitted in boxing, and neither are rabbit punches or intentional head buts.
One of the best things about wing chun fighters are chain punches with real speed. I doubt if that happens much even in MMA events though. Maybe Conner McGregor can execute one of those back flips with a heal strike on the top of Mayweather's head- who knows? It is certain that it would be an illegal kick however, as would be all of those brilliant Bruce Lee kicks. That style never caught on in professional boxing.

My Gestalt (a poem)
My
Gestalt has everything just so
figures
of dreams
conversations
of creation
white
supremists struggling
blacks
with machine guns killing for Congo
drums
from every continent
incessantly
beating a rhythm of life
Arranged
valleys and hills on the becrusted world
aged
beyond the molten stage
phenomenal
fields of quarks strung along
ideas
of existential analysis
Moons
awaiting drone probes
and
4-D print-out cities
My
Gestalt has infinite parts
though
the whole is greater than their sum
God
with one Universal field-mind
One
with three persons
and
17 trillion billion zero-dimensional points
some
place where angels dance and sing
selects those He would save.
selects those He would save.
Two Minor Issues with E-Bay
Chinese producers evidentally are haters of Alaska and Hawaii since they won't mail anything there from e-bay commonly. For decades the U.S. postal service have delivered packages to Alaska via dog sled and to Hawaii via Polynesian catamaran, so why do the Chinese exclude those two states in the back of beyond and include the 48 states and District of Columbia.
The Trump administration Justice Department might want to start a hate crimes investigation on China policy at e-bay.
The other issue is with the sorting gap. With thousands of Chinese producers listing their products that won't ship to Alaska and Hawaii, it would be helpful to be able to sort by country of product origin to find U.S. producers- that needle in a haystack effort, who can actually send a product to Alaska.
THere are Chinese producers with forwarding offices in China and Arizona that also won't mail anything to Alaska and Hawaii, and they definately should be included on the hate crimes investigation roster.

Can President Trump Find Solitude Enough to Contemplate Nation's Problems?
Donald Trump has an
overly-active social history. For most of his life he has been egregiously
social. In the White House, with a world of media plinkers attacking, something
he has the rare capacity to thrive on, can he find enough solitude to
contemplate solutions to national infrastructure rebuild ideas and issues.
Plainly the nation has embarrassed itself by neglecting to return
to the nearest extra-terrestrial body; the moon of the Earth circling around it
every month a lifetime after first exploring it. Like a gaggle of dummies on
dope the Congress has failed to construct an initial lunar research infrastructure
to let humanity have a work yard from which to innovate launch and living
systems. President Trump should think not only about how to get a moon research
colony started before the end of his first term, he should consider how to transform
the 3 million miles of asphalt toads in the U.S.A. to low light absorption,
power generating surfaces.
The President should find a way to employ those out of work the
longest through tax incentives for employers to hire them. The President really
ought to get solar panels on the Mexican security wall and discover some way
halt growth of public debt while keeping the social safety net intact.
President Trump has a full work term ahead while Democrats are
waging intifada and foreign influences and billionaires seek to reduce
Americans to modern peonage. If he can find some way to isolate himself from
the constant turmoil of DC, maybe he can get even more done.
Do Americans Care if Godless, Spoilt, Disloyal NFL Players Protest National Anthem?
A few richly-paid and
gifted natural athletes in the NFL sit during the NFL to protest anyone besides
Beyoncé singing it (joking). Actually the players have never served in the U.S.
military and have no deep sense of loyalty to the nation instead of themselves
and their race.
NFL players are radically over-paid entertainers that contribute
no useful work to society. With head injuries from concussive impacts over
their career they tend to drive up medical costs with frequent visits. While
globalism has saturated the national communication infrastructure and the
nation has 20 trillion dollars of debt the players of course want to act out
their personal displeasure with the state of national politics while on camera.
Presumably they would hate the national anthem wherever they were at in the
world and consider standing if an ISIS anthem or just the old standby standard
Internationale were sung.
Actually I thought NFL players were overpaid and under-taxed
before the fame of the dissidents to loyalty were featured in the entertainment
sections. It is true that the nation should reform its employment system from
the bottom up such that those out of work the longest would if hired bring the
greatest tax breaks to employers. Far too many chronically unemployed or under-employed
Americans have no chance to get a job, including black Americans.
The nation is in a time where loyalty rather than disloyalty is
valuable. NFL players should be role models of a good and constructive rather
than destructive nature. NFL players ought not sponge off the national savings
of loyalty and trust from prior generations and sacrifice and take for granted
that enough Americans are loyalty and so they won’t actually cause harm to
national interests. If they would not have been founders of the nation
themselves, if they would have had no loyalty to building a perfect union until
it was already perfect, they could have sat down through that too.
The Congress should pass a law that restores
voting rights for anyone that has lost them for being convicted of a felony,
seven years after the last felony, and if the individual is not in prison.
Disenfranchisement for blacks such as in Alabama creates distrust of the national
political system, yet pouting is not the way to make things better. I hate to
think of those that sit down for the national anthem in a movie about Iwo Jima.

Until Time’s Crunch Shaped Things Continued (poem)
Crunch-hop
delay, universal contingent fate-
fate
slanted down-slope to delay
each
grain-sprout harvest yet contingent
with
rain rationale to appear universal
that
growth wouldst with spring hop
beyond
death from a
clod-boot crunch
That
growth wouldst spring from fate
quickly
beyond
dimensions
and time-crunch
sum
things like field dreams contingent
add
silence too
loaded
with
hop
crumbling,
compacting, metamorphosing each unique
universal
approached
recursive
barriers, concentrations, edges, delay
Minds
with nothing hot to delay
create
and soak up ideas ‘tis
fate
thermodynamic
reasons unravel just
the
universal
shaped
things continued
until
time’s
crunch
sends
them again
to the
hop
skip
and jump of
hopes
contingent
Sharp
blades of drying
grass contingent
cut
the wind without thoughtful delay
rising
like a plaintive slider’s hop
at
the last second of
hard fate
lightening
strike swings the
final
crunch
over
a fence wall edged
universal
Alien
voices of maths too
universal
branches
rise and fall forever contingent
in
sudden dimensions impacting each
crunch
of
time and space-lapping waves
delay
motion
and time frozen with
forward fate
sinusoidal
field shards woven into
hop
Works
become words too sour hop
the
beauty of mass hysteria universal
deja
vous sky
diamonds moved fate
toward
the truth once
again
contingent
flowing
like bleeding
colors with
delay
she
called
an
assassin’s
light
crunch
Such
life and death were contingent
universal
fate may also enact delay
and
hop over the scheduled crunch.
Mass Hysteria of the Medial Left (poem)
The
beauty of mass hysteria
shapes
Guernicuervaca all over again
like
deja vous in the sky with diamonds
moving
toward the truth
She calls for assassination like a dream
that
glistens upon Missouri
flowing
like bleeding colors
into
red waters
A rose of time with the smell of death
supplanting
century plants along the avienda of heroes
with
fictions written like opulent ornamentation
with
guarded gates and tree frogs.
Schwarzenegger Doesn't Know Stalin Apparently
Former body-builder, son of an SS Nazi, joined with those of the left-leaning media piling on President Trump as best they can. He claim that the President's comments about the Charlottesville conflict between neo-Nazi sort of alt-right people vs the Antifa, BLM alt-left that showed up to collide and stop free speech and a lawful march plan were so far short of adequate that hate from the left toward the President is fine. The former Mr. Universe associates the alt-right with the mass killings caused by the Nazis. He is evidently blind to the alt-left's easy association with Marxism, Leninism and Stalinism that killed more people in all of the global conflicts than even the Nazis of his father.
http://www.politico.com/story/2017/08/17/schwarzenegger-jabs-trump-bigotry-241763
The one-sided predators of politics incapable of viewing history holistically are more concerned with politics than truth. In the United States today there are probably as few as 7000 members of the alt-right KKK organization. It was a scummy rat that choose to associate alt as a word with the right, thereby eclipsing the alt-energy label, yet that happened.
Actually there have been articles published saying that alternative energy is dead, and that it is mainstream instead and that coal is the new alt-energy. Manipulators of public labels and terms have been busy since morphing the red communist label into red states and the AMerican left into blue states.
Creating such media frenzy on extremist group protests when the members are like characters from Clint Eastwood's 'Any Which Way But Loose', and letting years role past without paying attention to infrastructure renewal and tightening up the tax and poverty situations is revolting.
Globalist left and global corporatism leaders together are working to end real American democracy in a haze of global socialism with Americans degraded into being subjects of the corporate-communist authoritarian universal state.

President Trump, Antifa and Global Leftists
It is interesting that Antifa (antifascist) counter-demonstrators seem to have a European approach. The BBC says they are 'anti-government and anti-capitalist'. They have been active for decades in Europe.
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-40930831
While any organized behavior that impinges the liberty of American individuals is evil (such as anti-any group incld. blacks), it is wrong for Alaska's politicians to fail to recognize the role of European and global actors and communications in promoting the destruction of democracy through displacement with the Euro paradigm of a mass left against capitalism and the right. The U.S.A. has a bottom-up political history while Europe has a top-down Aristocracy versus trans-national leftists. The latter approach today entails development of a worldview suitable for communism and corporatism.
