A Comment on Rep. Ortiz' Visit to Wrangell

 Plainly Wrangell should elect someone besides Rep. Ortiz. The Permanent Fund should be around for decades if left alone, unless Wall Street itself were to disappear. Rep. Ortiz should be a responsible guy and support a state income tax so all of those out of staters can contribute something too instead of receiving free services, taking their money, and flying to Florida. That should be a 10% flat tax.
 The state budget is huge and needs to be cut by half. Practical, cheap projects to bring tourist dollars to Wrangell such as completing the quarter mile to connect ends of the Eastern passage road from town to pat's Creek road should be financed-that would only be a million bucks. Home building, vista loop drivers and so forth aren't pork barrel.

Paul Nehlen May Beat Paul Ryan in Republican Primary

Insiders may be short selling Paul Ryan futures. Speaker Paul Ryan, like Speaker Tom Foley, may be a short lived Speaker of the House. In Washington State Tom Foley lost re-election while at the top of the ladder and the prospects for history repeating itself-this time in Wisconsin, look good. A businessman Tea Party guy named Paul Nehlen is getting stronger in the Republican primary race.

Ryan is looking weaker by the day as he is more concerned with global financial opportunities for Wall Street than good environmentally innovative jobs for the people of Wisconsin.

Obama Apparently Ransomed Prisoners of Iran for $400 Million

Four prisoners held by Iran were released when President Obama sent $400 million on a jet to Tehran. The White House says the money was part of a settlement for an ancient hostage crisis or something like that. The President might have decided the U.S.A. owes Iran $2 billion dollars for room and board for the hostages held in the 1979 embassy takeover-I am just not sure and am guessing here.

Plainly the timing was that of paying ransom to terrorists. Really though I think the President just likes Iran a lot and would like to buy a condo there next year.

Shouldn't France Be Booted Out of N.A.T.O.

France quit N.A.T.O. during the cold war and didn't rejoin until 2009 when it was again safe. With President Obama elected they could expand their squishy policies and rot N.A.T.O. from within. As a slightly smaller organization N.A.T.O. was more effective.

Political Gestalt of the Fractured Global Era

Notably all of the major political theory systems were constructed before the electronic era. Even the major economic systems were invented before the first generator was sold. In the post-industrial age such as has overtaken much of first-world civilization political theory is lacking. Power structures tend to evolve toward concentrations globally and ordinary people follow along. Its theoretical foundation is a posteriori.

While the global economy is integrating through communication and consumption, production, supply, demand and marketing environmental overuse and abuse collaterally, inimically grow too. Environmental degradation is a growth stock over the long run.

Much of the political argument in the United States and elsewhere centers upon nationalism and self-determination versus globalism, concentrated power and corporatism or socialism. All of that misses the perspective as humanity as a bacterium in a petri dish burning up its finite nutrient allotment. The limits of growth due to entropy and resource exhaustion can be set back through technological innovation yet the political will to accomplish minimal waste and maximum efficiency in production is absent from anyone’s political party agenda.

Interestingly some believe along the lines of Tegmark's Level 4 Multiverse concerning the creation and change. Theology and cosmology in the field of theoretical physics draw together quite well in that every possible Universe does exist in the mind of God and in reality too. Necessarily God creates every possible Universe compresently and never destroys anything. The past and future always exist in a level 4 Multiverse and select theological ideas about God. It is just the conscious human spirit that travels through these stack multiverse creations in every possible moment of the existence of any Universe. For Christians God has created human conscious spirit to sojourn through the experience of being as a prep school for eternal existence with God. Those unsaved will have a peripheral eternity without God that would necessarily be an eternal hell since the maintenance would be likely to be rather poor.

Does the fact that the entire Universe and Multiverse along with every human spirit is predetermined have any impact on the global and national economy and its inefficient regard for the Earth's ecosphere-primarily it does in the sense that the human spirit has every reason to act responsibly and intelligently rather than being an empirical hedonist indifferent to the decay of life on Earth.

The human species is always trying to grow and expand yet not at all well in political, ecospheric and philosophical intelligence. To surpass the limits of the petri dish nature of human development and sprawl humanity must master the art of planetary ecosphere science and technology and demonstrate that it can build thriving ecospheres off world-such as on the Moon, Mars etc. before it can have some assurance that it isn’t just deluding itself over an ability to repair the damage it has done to the Earth ecosphere that sustains it.

Khizr Khan's Son Would Be Living if Trump's Ban on Muslims Existed Before 911

Someone should have pointed out that Khizr Khan's Democrat Party convention speech lacked rhyme or reason. The logic is that with a pre-911 ban on most or all Muslim immigration-perhaps with an exception for specially investigated and safe Muslims, none of the Muslim hijackers would have made it to the U.S.A. to train or hijack a jet to crash into the WTC and Pentagon. They nearly took down the White House too. Without any of that G.W. Bush would not have been able to get the Iraq war started easily and there would have been no war to send a Captain Khan too, if Khizr Khan even lived in the U.S.A. instead of Pakistan.

Khan should have been praising Donald trump instead of denouncing him. Democrats should have been intelligent enough to recognize the silliness of Khan's D.N.C. speech before he took the stage to through b.s. into the American political psyche. The Democrats are on the warpath though. President Obama made the most uncivil comment about a Presidential candidate in the past century I think in saying that Trump is unfit for office. Mr. Obama really has a high opinion of himself...many Americans believe that of him as well as both Clintons too.

Hillary Hired Gold Star Family for Political Hack Attack

The idea that gold star families-those with a war dead family member (in U.S. uniform)-are free to make any sort of political hack attack on any public forum free from response by their target is foreign to me. I grew up the son of a generation with more than 400,000 war dead 'gold star' families. With a national population of about 120 million during the second World War everyone knew someone who had a family member killed in war and no one thought any of those families were free to make political hack attacks with impunity.

With a volunteer military and comparatively few Americans killed in war some have elevated those families to a new level where they are free to make political hack attacks and not expect criticism for it. That's a wrong direction to go. People respect the service member's sacrifice but his family hasn't any right to expect to be able to meddle in politics as some sort of sacred cow.

Khazr Khan's DNC speech premise was that if Donald Trump's ban on Muslim immigrants had been in effect when he made his way to the U.S.A. to attend a Harvard Graduate School his son would never have been an Army officer and been killed in Iraq defending against Muslim terrorists. Yet if Trump's policy had been in effect none of the 911 Muslims that took down the World Trade Towers would have been able to learn to fly jets in America nor hijacked planes from Boston to crash into N.Y.-it was all b.s.
