The Tribulation was in the First Century & the Beast Emperor Nero

F.Y.I. the ' beast' was Nero and the inverted 666 a 1st century Jewish numerical spelling equivalent. The tribulation occurred in the first century when Jerusalem was destroyed Paul and Peter martyred.. Kenneth Gentry explained who the beast is in a book named 'The Beast of Revelation'- http://www.amazon.com/The-Beast-Revelation-Kenneth-Gentry/dp/0915815419 I have a free (for a while) book on more topics misunderstood by too many about science and faith at http://www.lulu.com/shop/garrison-clifford-gibson/god-cosmology-and-nothingness-theory-and-theology-in-a-scientific-era/ebook/product-22571216.html

Will Obama Seek Castro's Advice on Supreme Court Nominee?

President Obama has scheduled a visit to Cuba perhaps to get Castro's opinion on who would be the best politically leveraging choice for his Supreme Court nominee. The President should try to get something practical done during his time in Havana like twisting arms to get thousands of new low-cost sailboat slips constructed for future poor American sailors so they will have somewhere to go that is affordable instead of sleeping with the fire ants.

Pope Makes Partisan Racist Motivated Attack on Trump-Probably Pro-Bush

The Pope has denounced Donald Trump's stance of defending U.S. border and immigration policy as non-Christian. I was going to let the obvious Latino racist/la raza electioneering trip to Juarez go uncommented, yet the Pope has gone too far in attacking Trump in order to get support for the very weak catholic Bush III candidacy in the South Carolina primary Saturday he may have sympathy with.

The Pope sided with Al Qaeda, drug traffickers and human smugglers in seeking to keep the border security and immigration policy weak and out of control of the people of the United States. The Pope wants the U.S.A. to be a catholic nation and the fastest way is with millions of new illegal catholic immigrants.

The Pope is dead wrong that Trump's immigration policy isn't Christian. It is Christian to have democracy instead of imperial rule with tyrant kings or Popes as gods on earth or specially appointed by God to rule as long as they live. The people of the United States preponderantly want control of their land and for entirely legal immigration policy with rational numbers of immigrants and no illegal crossings. Most Americans don't want slaves-a civil war was fought to end that the Pope might learn if pressed to. Neither do slaves seek out new opportunities across legal boundaries to get into slavery. The Pope is full of wrong ideas about immigration.

it is o.k. for Christians to have a nation of laws by and for the people with equal protection of the law rather than rule by anarchic corruption or despotism. If Mexico is broke, fix it; it is a catholic nation-and 's probably whats wrong with it historically speaking.

A Warm Northern WInter, Record Icepack Minimum for Jabuary

Warming winters with ice retreating makes one think about Mitchner's 'Alaska' and things of the past. When sabir tooth tigers and woolly mammoths ranged free and only one species of brown bear had migrated to S.E. Alaska. The loss of glacier coverage makes one yearn for better days perhaps on another world cold from a good climate rather than human character.

Would Tlingits of the era before the village of Hoonah (north wind) existed have recognized the place the way the Tsongass forest is today, or even James Muir?

Another Low-Tech Water Desalinization Idea

Placing a transparent pipeline inside a large transparent pipeline with the inner pipeline filled with water, and the inner pipe actually only a 3/4 pipe open at the top, would allow evaporated water from the inner pipe to rise , condense and fill the larger pipe and it would be directly drained into a lower pipe connected and perhaps buried under insulating earth except for the raised connection.

A section of pipe near a seashore without fresh water might be filled from a hose or smaller pipeline to fill the primary evaporation pipe section with solar or human powered bicycle pumps etc. Maybe the pipe section would easily open when dry to allow easy collection of salt residue.

I think there are numerous ways such as using Fresnel lenses to accelerate the evaporation and flow-through.

President Obama's History of Forcing His Political Will on the People

President Obama got Harry Read and the Senate's majority Democrats to use the nuclear option to force Obamacare through by a single vote. To force homosexual marriage upon the nation he visited New York to twist arms before the State legislature voted getting passage. That influenced the nation and the courts in his way. The courts with Presidential support forced homosexual marriage upon the nation. When better, cheaper ways to provide medical and dental service for the poor and Veterans existed the President choose the Nixonesque corporatist health model ion order to force all Americans to give up personal information to the corporate world. The President made Bush II tax cuts permanent when just a single veto was needed to support Democrat tradition. No Democrats dared oppose him. Only Bernie Sanders; then an independent, resisted from the left. The President instead forced youth to buy unneeded insurance to play for Obamacare-a hidden tax on youth.

The President will now do what he can to force another supporter of corruption onto the U.S. Supreme court. Classical liberalism is fine, yet contemporary liberals differentiate themselves from the classic liberalism of the founders with a preference for atheism and immorality. They warp libertarian principles to the point of non-judgmentalism as if a state could exist without rational structure and governance and left to the ministrations of global corporate powers, foreign governments, foreign interests, crouching tigers and hidden dragons (well-maybe that's a little over-dramatic). If Al Qaeda and ISIS want secure global communications encryption they may buy Apple phones for now, yet forcing encryption breaking algorithms to be given up to the F.B.I. through the courts is not the same as forcing the Senate to give up the Supreme Court to godless, immoral leftists.

Historian Jeffrey Rosen wrote starting with a quote of Barrack Obama in evaluating the Obama administration; "“Where I can act without Congress, I’m going to do so.” — that he has inflamed his opponents and strengthened their resolve to reverse his achievements. Just as the Supreme Court unanimously rejected Obama’s efforts to use recess appointments, so it could reject his immigration orders."

The Republicans in the Senate have only one task in 2016; to save the U.S. Supreme Court from being taken over further by depraved and godless leftist existentialist hedonist corporatiststs that care all about science, swank and indexed Wall Street funds and the Bible not at all. Republican have just one job for the rest of the years and that is to keep the third branch of Government free from Clinton-Obama corporatist-atheist predatory sycophantic status. Republicans need to keep Harvard leftists, skull and bone insiders, Bilderberger goons and other shills for the rot at the heart of the nation from increasing. Republicans need to defend and conserve the late conservative Justice Anton Scalia's Supreme Court post for a new conservative justice named by a new Republican President in 2016.
