Democrats Move Further Toward Sedition

Democrat Party have worked their own agenda since the election of President Trump. That party has moved the nation as far toward a seditious version of for-itself politics as it can. The most recent act was to make it a crime in New York City to say the phrase 'illegal alien' or to call ICE to report an illegal alien. Along with 'Sanctuary Cities' from federal laws concerning illegal aliens the Democrat party has removed as many obstructions to one party rule in Congress as they can thereby enabling a very divided nation. Do Americans really want the Democrat Party to dictate what language they can use without criminal penalties?

https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/463767-new-york-city-bans-term-illegal-alien-institutes-fines-up-to-250k

When governments in the United States ignore U.S. law and proclaim their own in opposition to it, that is the road to sedition. Several governments including that of New York City have taken the separate path to prefer foreign citizens- illegal aliens, over American citizens and legal processes. Proclaiming it illegal to call an illegal alien and illegal alien is like unto southern governments of the ante-bellum south proclaiming it illegal to call a slave a slave, or a criminal a criminal. San Francisco has eliminated the term 'felon' in preference for a phrase about a citizen involved in the corrections system, and Democrats have followed up their hate crimes legislation with hate speech Orwellianist penalties in regard to language and free speech.

In the run up to the civil war the Old South made their own laws regarding the right to capture fugitive slaves in free states and return them to the plantation of the south. Just like old time Democrats,  contemporary Democrats travel the road to sedition with their preference for illegal aliens over U.S. citizens and in forcing their way in opposition to U.S. law. The wealthy Democrats that force such measures disregard entirely the situation of poor Americans that cannot get good jobs, job security or benefits because Democrats undercut wage negotiations with cheap illegal labor. Speaker Pelosi with her California wine plantation probably needs to have illegal aliens to tend her grapes. She may be entirely unwilling to have wages rise high enough to make agriculture labor a desirable, good job with good pay.

International players have observed the Democrat Party's rejection of the 2016 democratic election of the President and are well aware that the 2020 impeachment proceeding is a follow up to the failure of the effort by the Democrat Party to overturn the result of the 2016 election. The Democrat Party has a mono-sedulous vision of the nation wherein all would be forced to comply with Democrat Party speech lexicon content, have politically correct thought and godless, immoral conduct satisfying to communist party paradigmata.

Spies and Whistlers on Presidential Phone Calls Should Be Made Public

Presidents have a right to expect a certain amount of privacy. If someone is going to listen to a call a President makes, or listen to reports about what he said from others, and then decides to release that information to the public, the identification of the individual also should be made public. To conceal the identity of the 'whistle blower' and to use the information released to attack the President is a kind of Klu Klux Klan/Antifah faceless masked subversion of the right of a person attacked to face their accuser (s).

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/chuck-grassley-defends-ukraine-whistleblower-breaking-gop-trump-n1060871

Whoever made a secret squealer/rat provision to hide the identity of those that disclose Presidential phone call content without authorization to anyone not designated to receive the information was making a way to exploit Presidential content for political purposes, and that was wrong.

There is no reason to conceal the identity of the informant unless there is a legal reason that conveyed the right. If there is such a provision then the whistle blower should not hide behind a sheet and should step forward and claim responsibility for his or her act that was made by the Democrats the centerpiece of their impeachment efforts.

NFL Should Have Kicked Out Coach Belichick from the Bills Game

Coaches that have players trained to make helmet to helmet, concussive shots on helpless quarterbacks already wrapped up should be kicked out of any game when their players commit flagrant, injurious fouls as occurred Sunday when New England defeated the Bills after putting the Bills' QB out of the game.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/bills/2019/09/30/buffalo-bills-josh-allen-hit-new-england-patriots/3819695002/

If the coaches don't pay for the conduct of their players they can just have any disposable enforcers take cheap shots to know out the competition. New England has a reputation for suspect fair play (Deflategate, Spygate etc.) and Coach Belichick the prime suspect (after Sean Payton) in having players make cheap shots.

F-35 Stealth May Need Decoys to Spoof New Radar

There are reports that a German radar manufacturer spotted and tracked two F-35 stealth jets about 100 miles. The radar found the jets by silhouetting them against commercial radio broadcast waves. That leads one to wonder if it may not be necessary to produce a new generations of small drone decoys and drones with radio broadcast capability themselves to spoof advanced radars using commercial radio to triangulate stealth fighters.

https://www.businessinsider.com/german-radar-maker-hensoldt-says-it-tracked-f35-in-2018-2019-9

With airborne, mobile stealth drone radio broadcast it should be possible to radically increase airwave complexity that would provide bounce signatures of advanced radar locators. I suggest that metal music be broadcast along with readings of science fiction and philosophy by speech synthesizers. Stealth jets may themselves want to broadcast their own soundtracks or rebroadcast radiowaves they block- even if the music is bad or it contains Democrat party fake news.

Shouldn't 'Dishonest Joe' Drop Out Now?

It might be time for Presidential candidate Joe Biden to drop out of the 2020 race. After his son Hunter Biden made a trip to Beijing with Vice-President Dad in 2014 Hunter's Ukrainian business was given a billion and a half dollar contract from the Chinese.

Democrats are struggling to find a quality candidate like a nugget in a sluice where nothing but crap exists to flow toward the 2020 convention. The top three include Dishonest Joe, Bernie (Hugo Chavez) Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.

 Joe Biden's claim that he new nothing about his son's business seems like bull since the photo of his son's Ukrainian business partner playing golf with the Son and Dad was released. Former Vice-President Joe seems to have used his office to get a big family pay-off for being Vice-President (just one Chinese payoff per family) and that stinks up the entire Democrat primary race unfortunately. Seemingly dishonest Joe should bite the bullet and enjoy all the money he as in the bank already.

Demos Dissimumlate Ukraine call for 2020 Impeachment Substitute

Democrat party interpretation of the Presidential phone conversation with the President of Ukraine seems like a plain dissimulation insofar as it having impeach worthy content. The big lie is an evil political method that seems to be a favorite of the contemporary Democrat Party. One wouldn't want such people in the judiciary or to appoint members of the judiciary.

Chaos and Transportation Systems Design

Chaotic systems are perceived. Studies found that initially chaotic systems tend toward self-organization for various reasons, and I would think that one reason (not in the wiki article) is the underlying, pervasive four forces of nature (weak, strong, electromagnetic and gravity) that effect everything. All mass has order from strings or quarks up and occur in definite ways. Large steady state systems may disorder and as one said, die, yet that disorder occurs in an ordered context for a larger system containing the micro-disorder. Change and time along thermodynamic lines are organized destruction of previous positions. Hilbert space point configurations evolving with time require that what went before no longer exists. The new configurations are made from the chaotic end of the prior.

I quite agree that local conditions of chaos and coincidence should be used when opportune for providing efficient use of resources. Transportation is a good example. Local topography and climate circumstance could enable select transportation modes that would not be practical elsewhere, however mass systems design in transportation infrastructure that relies upon power over efficiency such as fossil fuel vehicles and asphalt/concrete highways, not only harm the ecosphere they preclude local adaptations to clean energy and present substantial opportunity costs.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-organization

Inefficient food production with ecospheric externalities (such as growing cattle or slash and burn farming) are historical legacies that were not done for any sort of malevolent reasons (as would poisoning people). In the 1920s there was a fellow that marketed a new beverage in a bottle to the tennis playing east coast upper crust. It was  named Radithor and used the newly discovered radioactive materials. An article in scientific American described the incident. The producer thought it was good for people, and of course it wasn't. An autopsy showed that the business guy was a rare individual with bones that could absorb a lot of radiation without much harm. Victims liked the warm glow they got from the drink (before their hair fell out). The problem with cattle is the Co2 gas externality and destruction of wild habitat, not meat eating. Protein has always been mostly good for human consumption-especially in the Arctic regions. Fish even promotes brain growth apparently.

Consequentialism and Phobia; Means and Ends

Consequentialism is a form of utilitarianism by which one determines the moral value of acts by what follows, or what consequences result. So if the means is to commit some evil act that results in loss of life, and the consequence is that 1000x more people are saved from dying, then that utilitarian paradigm would determine that the means were justified. However the end justifies the means is not exclusively limited to utilitarianism, and in fact consquentialists could equally determine that the means were not justified by the ends, yet the entire point is juxtaposed  ethical traffic over an onerous point. For me at least utilitarianism seems the best effort for political pragmatism in making decisions for the many that need be made. There are other than utilitarian ethical criteria involved in governance though. Utilitarianism choices arise when people are faced with forced options (as William James pointed out in writing about pragmatism) and they must make Hobson's choices.

Another point (my reply to a post elsewhere)- Dialectical D.N.A. strands are held together with hydrophobic bonds. Phobia simply means will for fervent separation from something else. It is cellular walls that allow cells to exist. There are a zillion oil and water kinds of things. Pluralism and heterodox bonds are implicit in universal compositions. It is politically convenient for some to proscribe any non-partisan attitudes- even Orwellian. Homo or same anything can be quite evil to human interests or destroy structures in nature. Some things are harmful and some things aren't. Math formulas aren't better'd if the variables are all the same, constantly.

 https://www.genengnews.com/.../hydrophobic-forces-and.../

Evolutionary paths tend towards certain ways that are functional and perhaps necessary. It is the Tao of things, and that perhaps because it is determined by the will of the Lord to be what it is, and what it will become. 

My comment pertains to the nature of reality and for human freedom that does not require agreement with ideas such as agreement with a negative universal proposition such as 'there is no logical justification for homophobia'. Like hydrophobic molecules homophobic responses exist phenomenally for whatever cause (maybe for religious reasons or because one has commercial reasons such as possibly High Hefner may have had at the ranch). 

People are free to have sentiments for-themselves and those may include a phobia to homosexuality, homosexual political hegemony in politics or society, a dislike for select decadent aspects of a homosexual culture etc. One may find historical lessons showing that homosexuality has corrupted societies, or that particular religious scriptures from God provide a deontological cause to hate sin including homosexuality, that medical science has shown that homosexuality and that lifestyle may convey lethal disease vectors, etc. A better and common idea that is not illogical is that homosexuality leads toward extinction and bad parenting when hetero liasons occur with homosexuals. 

People often misunderstand wickedness and evil or use one when the other term was more appropriate. Biblically evil is caused by natural disaster. One could say a volcano erupting and burying a city, a tidal wave or the A.I.D.S. epidemic were evils. Wickedness is something caused by human will and action. A social philosopher studying human society in depth can find if he prefers some aspects of many phenomena that cause evil. I would say that concatenations in mass social effects of individual wickedness may be regarded as evil better than wickedness. Vaping deaths that have occurred recently might be considered evil, for example, though it is the result of several wicked actions by individuals (if one regards tobacco use as wicked).

Motion Sensor Dog Barker Scarecrow for Cats

It might be useful to produce a motion activated in-ground stake dog barking sound audio unit to divert cats from hunting near bird feeders. Maybe it should cost $5 and be solar recharged.

 It might be useful to manufacture camouflaged army tents for individuals that screen out infra-red drone and satellite imaging overhead as well. Getting blasted from a predator in the sky at night can ruin ones whole day.

Complete Jackass Demos vs Rogue Elephants

Speaker Pelosi is concerned about the Attorney General. He has"'gone rogue".
https://www.cnbc.com/2019/09/27/nancy-pelosi-says-attorney-general-william-barr-has-gone-rogue.html

Speaker Pelosi provides watermelons for her constituents in Congress when they need them. The segue from 2016 Russian collusion to 2020 election Ukraine influence soliciting required finesse and a watermelon patch of juicy new accusations including the remark that the Attorney General has gone rogue (elephant). The leftist media loves that sort of remark as does her constituents who have 'sworn to protect' the constitution from rogues, deplorables and criminal investigations in the Ukraine of crimes that may have been committed by top level democrats or their close relatives.

The MNadler impeachment lunacy is full jackass Democrat partisan politics; there is no mistake bout that. I suspect the process will not grow any sweet Bush-baby watermelons to harvest in December.

Informant Whistler Tune Founded on Shaky Legal Theory

The Whistler-informant that enfiladed President Trump's chat with the new Ukrainian President is being parsed through middle terms to try to make it appear that Ukraine was asked to help interfere in the 2020 election. Democrats having failed to show any Trump collusion with Russian interference in the 2016 election after-the-fact, seem now to be moving on to trying to show before-the-fact that Ukraine is, or was asked to interfere in the 2020 election (in the U.S.A.) by running a legal procedure in Ukraine to investigate corruption that may have occurred in Ukraine.

Apparently the Democrat just whistle legal theory is that if Ukraine investigates crimes committed in Ukraine, that would interfere in the 2020 U.S. election, if the crimes were committed by American Democrats or relatives of highly placed former Democrat politicians (of the U.S.A. unfortunately). Democrat Presidential candidates and their relatives are believed to have legal immunity from criminal investigations while running for office- at least in foreign nations. The Just Whistle movement would not rate an o.k. sign, and that is good for the symbol 👌is now officially recognized  hate speech.

Rosemary Woods and Pres. Trump's 18 Missing Minutes Call to Ukraine

President Trump may have committed impeachable offenses during his phone call with the new President Zelenski of the Ukraine. The President may have clear-cut 18 minutes of the call recording just like Richard Nixon had 18 minutes cut from his secret office surveillance tapes.

It is known President Trump asked this of the Ukrainiane President; "The other thing, There's a lot of talk about Biden's son, that Eiden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great. Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you ·can look into it ... It sounds horrible to me."-page 4 The 18 Minutes may be missing call

https://www.vox.com/2019/9/25/20883325/transcript-trump-ukraine-president-impeachment

This sadly reminds us of the Paul Mannafort incident of involvement in Ukrainian concerns, the Clinton foundation and joking about influencing foreign elections. Plainly it is impeachable to ask if a Democrat committed a crime in Ukraine. That sort of thing cannot be tolerated or dogs and cats may rain like snow from the sky.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2019/09/25/volodymyr-zelensky-facts-ukraine-leader-meeting-donald-trump/2434572001/

The President a few days before the suspicious call froze 400 million dollars of free lethal military weapons to the Ukraine. Some may say that was usual because a new President was elected in Ukraine and he might have been a lunatic rather than a serious comedian. It is dubious that an administration should care much about whom it will give a few hundred million dollars of free lethal weapons to. That is why Democrats are so upset about the Presidential use of foreign gun control.

My Review of the Impossible Whopper

When I went into a local Burger king to investigate the Impossible Whopper- a meat free cheeseburger, I thought I would pay $4 for a sandwich to determine if it was any good. The sticker price was actually six dollars. I just don't like to pay more than $2 for any sort of cheeseburger so I was a little taken aback. So I paid for the item and sat down to wait.

It was barely past breakfast time so I waited about ten minutes for the Impossible Whopper to appear. It was delivered in a bag with green highlights differentiating it from regular bags for whoppers made of beef and whatever filler goes into them. Impossible Whoppers have a soy base.

The first thing I noticed before I went outside to ride a bike, was the smell. The Impossible Whopper when hot has an unbeef-like smell, however slight, of hot decayed vegetables. It is a minor inconvenience. I tossed the bag in a rucksack and rode off.

Some minutes later I arrived at a desk, took the Impossible Whopper out of the bag and ate it. It was good. I wouldn't have noticed any difference with a meat based Whopper I think. It had the usual tomato, lettuce and some kind of white sauce. The entire presentation itself was very good reminding me of Arctic Circle burgers in the old days when they were kind of sloppy, wet and delicious.

Would I buy another Impossible Whopper- sure- when the price drops to $3 more or less. A good point for the Impossible Whopper is that because it isn't made of meat, if a bad fast food worker put a piece of turd in it-it would stand out. A cook at a fast food worker in town was arrested for doing that a few years ago. Little pieces of turd in a meat burger sort of blend in more. It is kind of funny actually. I had a sandwich with a Catholic priest at that store before it was destroyed for a Walgreens.

So I researched the meat in the I.W. and found the vegetable patties are for sale in Southern California stores and soon everywhere. They cost $4 dollars per patty- and that is why Burger King charges $6. Another company produced a similar product for slightly less per patty and already is available at Safeway and several other stores. It is called Beyond Meat. That product has had some good reviews although it too costs a few dollars per patty.

I won't give any of the products in this post an ok sign. For that symbol 👌 is now officially recognized as hate speech.

For the time being Impossible Whopper like products are for the yuppie and Starbucks sort of people that would spend $5 dollars on a cup of coffee, whip creme and substitute milk plus sugar or whatever...goop.

Congress Seeks to Intimidate President's Foreign Policy Leadership

The President conducts foreign policy, The Senate and House have oversight and may investigate certain foreign policy activities of the President, and of course controls most of the finance, yet it is the President's authority to make executive agreements with foreign leaders and to speak with foreign leaders without Congressional informants listening in. Unless the President was overheard agreeing to felony crimes with a foreign executive or anyone else, the Congress should keep a respectful distance from Executive branch foreign policy activities.

https://www.cliffsnotes.com/study-guides/american-government/foreign-policy/making-foreign-policy

President Trump has the right to negotiate with foreign leaders or two chat with them about whatever they prefer without weasels from the Democrat party listening for something to squeal about to the broadcast media and the puerile sinners of the Democrat party. Democrats should get a life as they saying goes, and get some good regulatory legislation passed that would benefit the ecosphere of the nation and pay down the public debt. (It is easier to eliminate single point sources of greenhouse gases than millions of point sources that are automobiles. A power plant that powers hundreds of thousands of electric cars is easier to clean up than millions of smaller point sources that are fossil fuel cars, for example.

Eliminating fossil fuel powered cars would require no vast government expenses on the charge card. The U.S. government could cut all taxes on electric cars and recharging. Power plants that produce zero emissions for global warming would be given no taxes either. Just the rich would pay 5% more in taxes to help with the global warming problem. The government could also place no taxes on high speed trains that travel more than 300 m.p.h.).

The President can tighten the screws on foreign miscreants and recipients of US taxpayer dollars whatever way he likes short of waterboarding, electroshock and other heinous interrogation methods that no Army veteran would approve of. Maybe the President should have a special envoy minder from the Congress named Tiny Tim to monitor his calls to foreign leaders.  If the President were to say anything really stupid it isn't unlikely that foreign intelligence agencies taping the call would leak it themselves.

Does AOC's Hatred of Trump Express Implicit Racism?

Does Rep. Cortez' rabid desire to impeach President Trump have an element of racism to it? Does she as a Puerto Rican Hispanic raised during an era when a negro was President of the U.S.A. hate the blond hair of President Trump?

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/aoc-calls-out-dems-for-caution-on-impeachment-says-its-bigger-national-scandal-than-trumps-actions

It may be that blue-eyed blondes are the preferred presidential candidates of many voters- even a majority, when substantive quality issues are not part of any candidate's platform. There is no question that President Clinton's blue eyed dirt-blonde (or was it red-blonde) was very attractive to women and homosexuals (probably). They were fanatics about that President.

Hillary Clinton was also a blue-eyed blonde and the last democrat Presidential candidate. She may have lost because of pneumonia- an old man's friend disease, that made her seem overly crotchety. Democrat candidates seem bent toward sucking up the homosexual vote-with names like Bi (den), Butch, or Butt being as viable as the condition of blondeness. It is also useful to have a name like that of the most famous communist of the western hemisphere in the Democrat Party. It is surprising that someone named Che Guava hasn't run.

Instead of deciding to corrupt marriage as the Supreme Court did as if they were a bunch of drunks to accomplish the New England-Harvard-M.I.T. overly queer-friendly agenda of reducing population (along with abortion and birth control) or helping China to have enough sex partners in a society with too few women with mass homosexuality, it would be better to create an institution for homos that want legal entanglement, and to let hetero marriages be recognized just once. Second marriages make the establishment a farce. Creating a queer hegemony in society is just wrong and unhealthy; there are other remedies the cognoscenti apparently haven't thought of.

If people can't remarry they probably, as secular sinners, will sleep around and few guys will be skunked. On the other hand, if second and etc marriages are allowed, people should be required to marry those unmarried first, and people married just once if none of the first category are available. Then the rich or handsome wouldn't get all of the babes leaving ugly soldiers and revolutionary incels to make trouble.

If women get pregnant over the age of eighteen biological parents would always have financial responsibility to provide financially for progeny. That would simplify the idea of divorce and payments to support kids from failed marriages or motivations to remarry for cash etc.

Public debt can be increased more with Democrats than Republicans, so in the absence of competent political ideas regarding political economy and reform, a blond on blond campaign seems likely, and that will further disgruntle A.O.C. who might like someone like the Obama protege' Sect. Castro to win the nomination- purely for non racist motives of course.

When September Comes (poem)

originally posted Wednesday, August 23, 2017

When September Comes

October lies waiting; a tiger beyond September

hungry for wildebeest boxes sugar-topped corny flakes

jellied berries of orange, red and blue dropped from the world

wary that decorating signs of seasons changing like neon dreams

become obstructions deftly yo distant destinies

Driveways of blacktop spiral downward in space-time vortexes

girding the round world wankily

-creation encrusted in part

like a jewel

shedding months of amnesia fading yesterdays

unconcerned with old times' broods of days settled

while foods that flowed like shiny lucre

compiling resolutely and silently as August rolls away

gold-plated to its temporal garage

sounds of potential emerging earthquake symbols

sun-tide of clouds overcoming mountains

taller than those eroded away

So nothing remains of summer to remind one of bitter-sour

recognition that time is more and less

burnt creme repasts of something and nothingnesses-

verisimilitudes of years were barren and never being

Food for bear wistfully wandering wait where trees fall

through clef notes echoed in chords when quantum uncertainty

izes indeterminate super-positions of all possible locations

nerve again isolated from wave-particles traversing

reasons that ideas and tides of words emerge to expression

All forests of dying green meadows with fish of September

seek magnetic traces of river's home profits

political currents covering hundreds of swimming fins

through-put being and nothingness

After October another wave names months so cold

those in cracked, parched dry lakes baking under the star

feel a glimmer of theoretical relief if a thought

receded in time to global warming farther north

packing November's proud icy snows

floating in fogs mountain skies

stops frosting one Earth with December

turning away from another like the year before

when solstice's short day leaves night smiling

every thing that could be said about September said

when poets that loved summer went on strike

thinking of grass mowed

and goats frolicked with piles of chewy delight

Just for a moment when the sun stops flight

Earth waits for second impulse to return to increasing photon lucidity

as if tight days packed together were sober with realization

sensing increase lost with the innocence of September where the pressure of time

stocks stores up for fall transition

inventory clerks counting what's on shelves

discount stacks built time

a new class arrived to eyeball tomorrows with secret lusts

rhymed with cheap novels worlds away

written about leaves falling in autumn colors

that were multifarious coatings of puke

barfed upon the topography like sessions of Congress

almost none loved

Presidential campaigns perfecting pomp and circumstance

so persons of interest leaning against lampposts

contemplating unknown billions in back street pacs

indifferent to common hopes

for shelter beside the door, hammer and plans

in the bug hotel risen high

with a tidal wave of minutes given before nothingness

the sum total of darkness

itself disappears before the day

DNA Strands are Held Together With Hydrophobes

Hydrophobia apparently is why D.N.A. strands are held together according to a new discovery in Sweden. https://scitechdaily.com/scientists-were-wrong-about-dna-it-is-actually-held-together-by-hydrophobic-forces/

With water in a cell surrounding the strands a hydrophobia inducing protein for nitrogen bases draws genes together- instead of hydrogen bonds- cringing together away from the sloshing, turbulent cellular sea. A coherent inner core stays together amidst froshy wash of dissolution.

On the Existence of Objective Reality

I like Kant's arguments about thought and noumenal things-in-themselves because they advance analytical thought about the knower and known. One has a way to address Descartes'  criterion with the Critique of Pure Reason, and that works even while people are advancing experimental and technical learning about the world scientifically. Empiricism arose to explain why objective material things and statements about them are meaningful before W.V.O. Quine explained that all propositions and thought about external objects are made with inward, intentional thought. 

The idea that extensional thought exists that has a direct relation to 'objective reality' is logically unsupportable. Perhaps it isn't entirely unsupportable though. For if nature has no words in it for-itself, other people than oneself do at least. The presence of words that are rational and responsive in others supports the idea of objective reality directly in my opinion. Even so people conversing may share common illusions for shared propositions made about external reality with compatible dialectics.

What reality is of course remains conditional and subjective although something objective including rational people does certainly exist (unless nature has some kind of great artificial intelligence trickery going on and all people besides myself are emanations from it. 

Those idealist arguments about God or a quantum computer creating reality for sentient minds to experience, or the idea that everything that exists is an idea of God including sentient human minds as subroutines in the thought of God are still viable, however the presence of rational sentient intelligence besides oneself supports directly the proposition that some objective intelligence or objective reality does exist-whatever it is for-itself and in-itself though unknown to oneself.

Why Shouldn't the President Ask Foreign Agencies for Criminal Investigations Help?

If President Trump asked a foreign leader for help investigating a criminal matter in a foreign nation what is wrong with that? Maybe the F.B.I. should establish a field office in Ukraine since politicians have so much business there. If the Clintons, Bidens etc conduct foreign business and political deals doesn't the President of the United States have a right to be well informed about that? Does the public need relatives of Presidents, Vice-Presidents and former officials using their connections to extract money and opportunities from foreign governments or foreign contractors? Does Joe’s son have everything lined up in the Ukraine for his Dad should he be elected in 2020? Will the bank accounts fill?

President Trump had a few of his political friends and advisers investigated by Obama appointees for business in the Ukraine. It seems completely fine to inquire in to the role of former Vice President's Joe Biden's son had in possible pile on carpet bagging Ukraine ops. Where else to start than to ask his peer leader to look into the matter- it is realistically possible that democrat party connivances through intermediaries with foreign agencies and business people are actively at work against U.S. interests.

The entire matter of Democrats substituting horse puckey for solid politics since the Obama administration is very tiresome. Solid political work would be more welcome. Maybe they could think about how to pay down the public debt directly to keep confidence in the dollar, or should that be solely a Republican duty?

The Ukraine political history with the USA the last ten years is such a crock of bull that foreign leaders must be laughing about the way Democrats and Republicans have replaced rational political concerns with affairs involving that nation. Perhaps as a bunch of former communists, sons of Nazi sympathizers and leftists with loose morals and plenty of dope, promiscuity and radioactive power plants the Democrats feel right at home with Ukraine. The United States still exists too though- it’s on another hemisphere.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/giuliani-accuses-ukraine-of-laundering-3m-to-hunter-biden-asks-how-obama-could-let-that-happen

It is possible the Democrats will not ransack congressional procedures or hogtie future Presidents by making President indictable while in office. For short term profit they are gutting rational policies that have long existed. Yet there are more Ukraine issues and scandals that glow in the f'ing dark to concern themselves with.

I don't recall Presidents or their relatives being involved loud and large with foreign powers for business to a level that it became part of the ordinary news cycle and elections. The Clintons and the Clinton foundation are the first people to my knowledge that basically also started the practice.

G.W. Bush (II) wasn't known for that. Neither were Reagan, Obama, Nixon, Ford, Kennedy or Johnson. President Carter had a relative named Billy who made and sold a beer in Georgia I believe it was, yet Atlanta is nothing like the bloody Ukraine where globalism seems to attract the worst of the Democrat Party like flies.
