Pres Biden Might Create Unicorns and WW 3 From Nothingness

People say that energy cannot be created or destroyed. Yet it has been pointed out that energy is a property of matter. More correctly it is a measurement of the ability to do work rather than a thing-for-itself. Like nothingness it cannot be created or destroyed. It is like arguing that a unicorn cannot be created or destroyed; except for President Biden, who might create unicorns out of thin air like World War Three (he just authorized Ukraine to attack Moscow and deep inside Russia with US provided missiles).

Without clearly defined lines for 64 squares chess would be difficult, although fuzzy logic might help solve problems of fuzzy chess boards in nature.

America's Lunatic President Authorizes Zelinski to Attack Moscow with U.S. Missiles

To celebrate the Sabbath Pres Biden gave President Zelinski a green light to attack Russia with USA supplied Long-Range Missiles. He should be impeached post haste lest he authorize nuclear war as well.

Some US provided weapons will be used to attack Moscow. ATACMS missiles fill out the ensemble for escalation

ATACMS have range of 190 miles and can carry nuclear warhead. The Army has a newer weapons system to replace ATACMS so Pres Biden is dumping the weapons with 2 months left in office. He does have one last chance to create World War Three after all.

President Lunacy will provide other weapons to attack Moscow.

 The prospect of World War 3 catalyzed by a US President that may think he is on a crusade like the recoquista of Iberia is not silly. Megadeth is not silly. The conflict could yet be resolved by rational leaders sharing Ukraine with Russia. The blind are leading the blind. 

Border Security 2025

Should get more bang for the buck and combine fresh water making canals filled with saltwater letting sunshine evaporate and transparent roofs capture condensing fresh water serve as Mexican border security barriers. Fresh water is valuable in the desert. Fences are sterile and easily breached. When fences become obsolete fresh water making desalination canals will continue to have value. Stop the senseless, myopic deficit spending waste.

If engineers on the US side prove up the concept and produce millions of gallons of fresh water from salt water piped uphill to Deming New Mexico from the Pacific Ocean it is probable that Mexico will ditto the project to generate water on its own side of the border. The Rio Grande river has a pitiful quantity of water even at Albuquerque

Progressive-Regressive Coins

Does society actually progress and do progressives actually serve as counter-cyclical regressive? Some would consider real progress to be insinuation of society into the environment as symbiotic agents with physical structures improving in form and function. Society should have free non- polluting new forms of mass transportation and local efficient ergonomic pathways while there is zero involuntary employment in the nation. The latter is a source of needless social expense and waste.

So far as I know progressives are for concerns like abortion,  homosexuality and loose borders not adding up to a progressive agenda so much as a debauched mode of neo-socialidm unsupported by tax increases for a sustainable federal budget.

Vaccines against the plague require intelligent investment of resources. Loose border security requires more drug rehabilitation and anti-crime costs than detract from development of vaccines required to prevent deaths in epidemic events. Pneumonic plague vaccines are only under development in the west; "live, attenuated vaccines and recombinant protein vaccines have been developed to prevent the disease". Even during the cold war communist scientists labored to make a plague virus small enough that it could be effect dispersed from the air and inhaled. Bioprepart's research was not lost  Real conservatives cannot afford to be negligent on biological defense against preventable viral infections.

College Education: Training to Keep People Stupid So They Can't Figure out How to Revolt?

College education provides tools for thinking. Some of the practical get valuable training that pays well after graduation or even before. Anything medical, engineering or science pays well...it isn't philosophy. One may learn vast quantities of stuff that doesn't count for practical training at all. It's worth learning yet not any kind of training that has compensatory prospects.

An individual can build his own educational sandwich selecting what he wants in the USA as if he were ordering at Subways. Before during and after college there are ten billion books to read for-onself if intellectually famished. There are lots of free courses with educational value on-line at Coursea.org and elsewhere... democracies love to have educated people. The trouble is the financial opportunity cost is high for taking the time without pay to pursue that instead of getting skills training and a job that pays a livable wage.

Ca the US Medical System be Improved?

It tends toward being too expensive. Billing is also normally f'd up by agencies external to the medical side. The entire world is not provided basic health care as might be possible if advantaged thoughtful leaders found a way. Walk in treatment for poor homeless Americans without enough sedentary time in state rootedness to qualify for Medicaid should be a minor existing exclusion easy to fix.  Biden-Harris had no interest in that

Reply to an Anti-Christian Blaming Christians for the World's Troubled History

I enjoyed reading general history for a few decades along with philosophy. The ancient world was certainly tough, so much so that many moderns can’t understand it. Life was short; no treatment for cancer, appendicitis etc. At Gettysburg examination of skulls showed that 90 percent of the soldiers had abscessed teeth. A Philistine site excavation showed that a huge percent of people had died of head wounds and it wasn’t a battlefield.

Mercy killings for disease and bad law enforcement was a way of life. One needs to be specific about particular historical events and issues if one wants to have good understanding. Modern history videos make learning easier. Charles Martel at Tours Zheng H, Shaka Zulu, Marius and Pizzaro are a few salient leaders to consider.

When I scored 99 percent ranks on CLEP college history exams I had prepped reading for years and travelling to Europe to look around. Many people don’t understand history more than superficially. Most of those warriors would have died of natural cause by the age of 40. As late as the First World War 16,000 soldiers died from infected blisters and blood poisoning. I had a red streak going up my leg from an infected blister at air assault school I got that fixed in Seattle with antibiotics before visiting Berlin in winter of 1987. The international monetary fund net there later before the fall of the wall. It was always about money, land and power.

Writing about history can require volumes. I wrote a few million words on contemporary events and often, in the first twenty books, wrote about ancient history to 1648. I wouldn’t agree with your ideas regarding European or American history, yet am aware that millions have died in cultural encounters- in the past usual amongst illiterate people. They were often fighting for land and political power rather than theological differences even though leaders had expressed allegiance to this faith or that.

The present war in Ukraine is a case in point; there are sectarian differences between the belligerents yet the war is over land and political power. Educated Western leaders should have known better yet acted dumb and dumber since the Clinton administration. Conflicts can be massive and out of scale to initial causes.

When Turks wanted to capture Constantinople they catapulted plague infested rats over the walls to kill the people inside the city. They probably hadn’t intended to kill 2/3rds of the population of Europe. When Spanish and Portuguese explorers first visited South America they might not have known that European viruses would erase a civilization up the Amazon within 20 years. Exploration of the new world was prompted by curiosity, as search for knowledge, new routes, land and power yet not primarily by religion. Spain sought gold and found it. 1492 was the year Spain expelled the last Muslim invaders from Iberia and sent Columbus over the ocean.

Humans have original sin and their political works often have reflected that in conflicts. Some would like to deny the existence of God in an effort; a futile one, to acquire themselves. Only through the blood of The Lord can a human be saved from that guilt

And lblame for the Inquisition...

The State executed or imprisoned captives for The Inquisition in accordance with local laws. The Catholic Church examined them to determine if they were Catholics or had foreign allegiance as some kind of heretic. US social median comprised predominantly of Democrats, atheists and wokistry purged conservatives and Christians from social media as best they could as heretics to Democrat Party political goals with less violent means since the Obama administration.The Inquisition was probably a motivation for the separation of church and state centuries later in the US Constitution by Protestant founders.

People need to learn from history and improve upon it. Protestants were also purged in the era. You might read Foxxe’s Book of Martyrs to learn of The St Bartholomew’s Day massacre and other events. The Habsburgs were trying to retain control of Europe and the Church was resisting reform from Protestants even as Mongol and Muslim invasions were being repulsed from attacks on Europe and Christiandom.

Illiterate peasants and opportunistic leaders often couldn’t discern the differences between theological points in Latin edition books they had never read and the sword points of foreign invaders; that is the peasants being killed by invaders with different religious beliefs were killed by swords rather than ideas. Spanish conquistadors had 500 years of war in their own country for practice getting rid of Muslim invaders as the inquisition commenced. Intolerance of foreign allegiance was realistic politics of that time.

 People have original sin and only slowly discern the way of Jesus as far as numbers go... if they are blessed. Humanity is somewhat crude regarding environmental economics and Christian ethics including many of those affiliated with religion. Society in history is a work in progress.
