Religion Coming Back...

Religion is wonderful. But...  Like most 'wonderful things', it just has no evidentiary support. In the age of information we get no inforation back from God. Omnipotent?! But logic says he can't make a brick so big that he can't pick it up. And  thousand other self contradicting statements. He can't make a sinner that he cannot save. He can't make a saint that he can corrupt. 

As adults we are keeping our imaginary playmates so we can believe in heaven and immortality while living with sudden death and contempt of other philosophies. There is no magic. 

We are the enemy: response to NYT article 12/22/2024

 Man's inhumanities to man has killed more humans than all the predators that have ever lived. Pogo, the cartoon character, was right on:"We have met the enemy and it is us." Our greatet threats are people who look different than we do, speak different than we do, have less food, power, and security than we do. We fear each other. Religion, politics, and cultures are the cause of our fear, not lions, and tigers, and bears. The gangs next door, the poverty stricken, less educated, insecure, people are our enemy. Who do we remember from history? Alexander, Caesar, Ghengis Kahn, the Crusades, 30 year war, 100 year war, conquests of Napolean, The Roman Empire, the british empire, the wars of China, Japan, Hitler, Stalin, etc., etc. Until we change human nature, scentifically, we'll keep being our own worst danger.

The Fruit of Artificial Intelligence

                              The Fruit of Artificial Intelligence:

Well, it looks like the world has caught up to me. Perhaps it is already past me.  What do I mean?  AI has gotten to the point that it has learned how to learn without the impedance of fixed neural nets. Physics has  the brain as a given set of nerves working on, and from, the one common blue-print that nature has evolved into.  AI is now designing a better set of neural nets, a better set of structures, and that will lead to taking on the best physical and best reasoning nerve nets around to solve the best problems found in the best way to solve them.  Shape shifters will also be logic changers. Spare sets of problem solving devices to keep physics giving maximum energy equally to the needs of the various 'life forms'. Design  bodies for motion, for thinking, for having fun, with loving being alive, with built in long, long, long, lives. Or, the ability to change form and motives, and functions, all attuned to current environment, it's energy content and flows, how to gather the local energy, how to use it, love it, entertain with it, live with it, grow with it.  Competition will not go away. It will be competition for energy, for 5 billion years of sunshine, by moving to a new star just built in the small galaxy just 4 billion light years away that 8000 year old aunt Matilda found 500 years ago on one of her joy trips.

There will be the same physics - probably; who knows what dark matter and dark energy will bring. 

The life forms, the übermensch, will live in brave new worlds, with brave new forms, energy sources and perhaps new uses for the energy. We may stay protein bound: flexible, sexual, athletic, readers, writers, creators, problem solvers, near immortal, any size, shape, information processing, mind reading, dancing, laughing, bunch of life wherever we choose to be or go to.

In an  heretical way, we will become Gods and Goddesses, indestructible, rebootable, memory making, work doing - someone will still have to take out the garbage, clean up the houses, build the transportation machines, the music instruments, dance halls, quiet lanes in the shadows of the trees. And it's just right around the information processing and utilizing corner. 

 

Absurdity and Tragedy

  In a conversation last night I heard: "The guy proposed for the Secretary of Defense is simply unqualified."

Before others could start arguing I said, "If you live in a country that has a Secretary of Defense you probably live in the wrong Country."

The implication is that you must expend time, energy, money, etc. to live in a society and you needed to 'defend' that society by having the means to do so. The implications are extreme: We will kill to the end. We will commit, to the end. Morality, religion, law, faith in mankind simply doesn't exist. "Survival of the fittest", Our society will kill 'til the end to remain 'Our Society'.  And that that philosophy, that support of a Nation that HAS an office with the name 'Secretary of Defense' shall not perish from the Earth' and that it is the open demonstration that our lives are more valuable than everybody else's. That we will not go gently into the concentration camp, nor will our fellow citizens.  Further, without current evidence, but only on the basis of our history and civilization we know there are those nation states that  can, will, and do prepare for war against us. They too have a Secretary of Defense. Therein lies "Absurdity", "Tragedy", Fear, and total distrust of all the "Others", mostly the other men and women. The only thing we have to fear is human nature, and gee, we represent all of it, we are all of it.  "Good night sweet Prince and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest."

"When Truth and Belief collide, Truth must give way. (Elena Duronio - My sister, I believe and assert.)

 Stop the world. I want to get off.

Why is South America, Russia, the Arabs, China ruled  by 'The Strong Men'?

Because the rest of us are busy trying to save the world from them.

But we have done it better: We got Trump!

When truth and belief collide; Truth must give way!  (My sister, Elena Duronio)

Get a copy of 2025, you're about to live - or die - by it. Good luck to all my 'Fellow Travelers.

Trump is a Piece of SH*T.

 Trump's a piece of sh*t, has been all his life, and isn't thinking of changing: but he is changing, dumber and uglier every day. He's a convicted, RAPIST - that means he's raped women. Every one of the 1.1 million Americans who died from covid in America heard Donald Trump, their President, say, "DON'T WEAR MASKS" and 'DON'T STAY HOME'. His Company cheated on its taxes, by $500,000,000 - five hundred million dollars. He's a small, stupid, brainless, loveless, ugly, dumb guy. If his 'team' would put him out on the street and drive away they would never see him again: he doesn't remember how to do anything. Even talk and walk.

Running to God when we fail ourselves.

 When reason, science, investment in controlling the environment and helping in the struggle for life all fail to bring people together we run to MAGIC! God will help us. Pray for understanding, for love, for money, for the children...

Progress has been measured out by problem solving and science has given us a method of finding truth and making progress. Religion is fine but it is a false hope for a magical cure. Defining common goals - food, clothing, and shelter for everyone. Decent work with decent pay, honest politicians and citizens, some moments of joy and laughing at ourselves. There are 7 major Religions on earth. That means at least six of them are wrong (Bertrand Russell). Feeling good, relying on mythology, that is thousands of years of failure, war, and destruction "An eye for an eye" (Leads to a world of blind people, Gandhi.) No information comes from heaven or hell! It comes from physics and problem solving. Pray for better scientists and engineers applying the science. Not for Nirvana. Nvidia over Nirvana.

More on Trump's Chumps

When growing up we used to call the naive kids that believed the lies "chumps". I still do. Many of the Republicans and Christians of today fall into that category. I call them

Trumps Chumps.

Mostly we were all Chumps from time to time. Especially about sports figures. Clemente was better than Hank Arron, etc. We didn't really mind so much being a Chump now and then. But we always more or less hated to feel like one. That's why I don't try and blast the Maga Republicans and Christians that quote Trumps lies. They don't know any better. They are just Trump's Chumps. And it looks like they break up the gang. The gang that refuses to be a Chump for Trump and wants dignity and honesty for everybody is not better or superior to Chumps, they are just closer to the truth, less violent, more honest. I suggest they quit being a Chump for Trump and become a friend of truth, honesty, and integrity. It feels a lot better than knowing you're a life long Chump. Quit being a Chump and vote Against the lifelong Chump, Trump.

Thoughts of Trump

 Trump won't give his medical reports because he is already dead, dead in the head. Trump is totally irrational, a lost soul, and obtuse as any human has ever been. He can't think anymore and was never really good at it. Who else has lost money running government-licensed CASINOS?

He's raped many women - which the good Christians love - it 'titillates' them. He's ordered to pay 90 million to a rape victim, which makes him the biggest "trick" in history: paid $90 million for SEX. Cheated the U.S. government, through his company, of 500 million in taxes—bold, brassy, dumb as a rock, and twice as ugly Trump. And every one of the 1.1 million dead in the U.S. Covid debacle heard Trump say "Don't wear masks" and "Don't stay home." "It's going to go away, like magic." They heard their inept President and listened to him, all the way to the grave. Here's a man with a lost mind, a poisoned soul, and infinite disdain for justice and truth.

America's Relation with Israel

 A true friend? How about one that won, or assisted Israel to win, their independence and the war that started the next day. Then subsidized its army for another 75 years, Helping, and ensuring, 3 other victories to maintain Israel's independence, and prosperity. Netanyahu came along a near perfect example of a Jewish Hitler, and America, reluctantly, still saved Israel's independence.

Israel would not accept an end to a 2000-year-old war by giving the Palestinians a state to call their own and one they could rule. The United States has had Israel literally spit in the U.S.'s face and still supports its criminally run government. These facts prove America is a friend far and beyond the limits of friendship, logic, and fairness. I support Biden's position but I have lost all respect for Israel. Israel better win these wars they're causing, because after they are over, many Americans will take to the streets screaming to end our protection of Israel who has used us and then used us up. I suggest Israel join Nato, or the Arab Union, or anything else. But don't ever think you can use America, again, like you just did.

AI and it's Dangers...

 There appears to be a little leaning toward "The Sky is Falling" in saying AI can be dangerous, but not specifying how it can be dangerous. Certainly a pile of code that can look up the amassed knowledge of mankind, can't make a nuclear weapon. It can't pick anything up. Of course it could guide people to pick up needed ingredients. But that can only occur when the person or persons involved asked how to make a nuclear or biological weapon. But of course, whatever AI can look up any search program can ultimately find. People can use AI to accelerate their gaining of knowledge. That is AI's primary function. AI will mature, just like dynamite production matured. But people had to put the physically destructive materials together. Evil, and stupidity, are human qualities, not programming goals. Ultimately, scientific knowledge on destroying anything, corrupting anything is in the public domain. AI cannot be limited to pick and chose what can be used to inform people about how to destroy people. Scientific information is not hidden, it is actively sought to make progress. I see no reason to try and hide scientific knowledge. It's in the public domain!!

Poor Pathetic Spiteful Trump ...

 Poor pathetic spiteful Donald Trump. He lost his last election try, he lost his NY State Fraud trial and was found guilty of sexual abuse, which the Judge characterized as rape, 90 million payment on the rape and near 500 million on the Company Fraud and tax case. Trump's been losing a lot. He lost 1.1 million Americans who died from covid and who had been told, by Trump, to not wear masks, not get tested, and don't stay home. He thinks, spitefully, that he's been treated unfairly: how has he treated us, 8 Trillion more debt, a destroyed economy, and advice that killed a whole lot of people after they listened to their idiot President. I'm just wishing for 2 more losses for Trump: The Presidency and his freedom: lock this spiteful, small, ignorant man up, for the good of the Country. Vote out every Republican you can because they assisted him in most of his destruction of our laws and our freedom, like no abortions for raped women or even those who just want or need one. Damn Trump and his supporters. And I pray that I may forget these things that with myself I too much discuss, too much explain -- T.S. Eliot, I think

Worthless Trump!

 There were 1,100,000 Americans killed by the covid virus under Trump's Presidency. And Trump told every one of them, "Don 't wear masks." "Don't stay home. Go to work!" "Everyone who wants a test can get one." - Which was a lie. It took another month before anyone could get a test.

The President of the United States advised people to not protect their lives as the Doctors were telling them. Trump is a stupid worthless ignorant fool and totally culpable for the death of Americans he told not to protect themselves.

The Judge on Sept. 18th should send him to the jail he has earned, over and over again, at far too high a price!

If soldiers are fools and chumps then the Commander in chief was a bigger fool and bigger chump to take a job giving orders to people he disdained, held in contempt.

Damn Donald Trump and everything he stands for. Killing babies after taking them from their families! Totally contemptable. And done in our NAME, America killed the babies, the covid victims that obeyed him. I know there is no Hell, but I would gladly create one for this viciously corrupt and stupid worthless piece of rotten flesh.

Kamala Harris acceptance Speech should guide us to our warranted hopeful future.

 A champion in the image of Founding Fathers walked smiling off the podium last night. We liked her speech. We liked her strength. Kamala Harris is obviously smarter, stronger, even more attractive than the would be 'gangster' who is a petty thief who got his hands on the U.S. Treasury and fouled it like everything else he touches, friends, women, the law, the USA. Clinton may have been from "Hope", Kamala Harris is carrying it to us and reaching for us to grab hold and honor it as a strong legacy. We must take hold of it, commit to it, work for it and kill the petty ogre blocking the bridge to our more perfect path to the coming generations of free and strong Americans laughing at the weird, small men serving the wealthy but unwise oligarchs of monetary wealth and empty coffers of affectionate strength, justice, and Biden like empathy. We must work for freedom, for our inalienable rights, and send the children where no "fake mob boss" will ever rule with fear and coercion of our future of hope and opportunity.

Republicans trying to Steal the Presidential election...

 A rapist insurrectionist who was the worst President ever, of any country, who owes 500 Million in stolen tax dollars, by Court order, is now going to try and steal the election. Who should stop him? The Department of Justice. If there is a conspiracy to steal the election it should be investigated, found to be true, or not, and if true, the conspirators should be arrested, tried, convicted, and imprisoned, if found guilty. Plain and simple. Attorney General: please note.

Work for a United Future or Pray for Magic

 When confidence in the good will of law makes us fearful we turn to religion. In an age of closing Church doors and opening Artificial Intelligence companies it seems that lies, fear, and uncertainty are pushing us into seeking 'guidance' from a philosophy dependant on "magic" rather than on truth and trust in scientific research and education.

Prayer is nice and comforting. Level 5 hurricanes and whole Countries on fire require our attention after 50 years of avoiding our responsibilities to the future well being of the entire species and life in general. We leave behind us the fruit of our labor and the fruit of our loins. Do good work and make pretty babies has been the basis of life and progress to physical security, emotional security, and economic security. That and working together. Blame and fear mongering do not solve problems. God has watched over the demise of the fearful self-serving mankind who turns to war and hate for solutions to fear. The only thing to fear is fear itself - and the fear mongers using fear to line their greedy pockets. Pull together, think toward a better future, love and work together, or complain and die together. God helps them who help themselves. The truth shall make you free. Lies will make you lost in a sea of servitude and greed. We get no information back from the land of the unknown. WE get higher temperatures and burning countries from not fighting greed and misuse of power.

Curry in the Olympic Finals

 I've followed Basketball since Bill Russell came home with a gold medal in 1958. Then I followed Russell's career. One of, if not the, greatest of them all: Curry's 4 in a row three point shots at the end of today's championship game was simply the unchallenged champion effort I've ever seen. I'll find the games ending in a copyable form and save it. Words cannot add or subtract from my total emotional response to Curry's under pressure accomplishment, that I, and many, many, sports affectionados have been fortunate to see today: 4 consecutive 3s under defensive pressure, and olympic status. Hats off to all the U.S. players;and, a grateful thanks to Curry for 'exceeding' the very high expectations I had for him, and hoped for him, and the team.

More Trump and Court Criticism

 Donald's 86 IQ is failing him. He forgot he had been president and did not fix immigration, did not balance the budget, did not take science's advice during the covid pandemic: don't wear masks, don't stay home, put antiseptics in your blood stream, take any of these three pills I've been paid to tout for distribution, 1.1 million Americans died. All his friends and associates are in jail, and he will soon be joining them.

His Supreme religious bribe takers made slaves of women and tore up the Bill of Rights, for Trump! The only thing I can say about them is, "Lock the traitor bible thumper Bribe taking Jusices up." Just after Trump looses and gets sent to prison, where they all belong. And my non-existent God is superior to their non-existent God. And my immorality is superior to their immorality!

The Climate threat is a "man's inhumanity to man!"

 There's a good chance that ignorance and greed will not let us change to meet the Climate threats. If that proves correct we may not last 2 more generations. If science is wrong how do the cars, planes, phones, televisions, agriculture, houses, work? Science is the only way. Measure, test, adapt to the truth, make new artifacts, new tools, new philosophies, new goals. And, bye the way, there is no "magic" anywhere, anytime, that can save us.

We need to take the excess energy out of the Atmosphere! This is really a 'Man's inhumanity to man.' And it will be the last one if we don't hurry!

Flip-Flopping hillbilly, J. d. Vance

 J. D. Vance has "Flip-Flopped" on everything a philosophy or Religion can shield. Good life in the country? NO - yes - no again. In writing and videos. Trump is a Nazi, he's a 'Hitler'. No, He likes billionaires like Thiel. (Vance does too, but only for the money.)

The Republican Party has disintegrated to Well Educated haters of life, cowards at decision making, fools longing for the long lost 'Shangri La' that never even existed. Trump found a converted enemy that he likes for Thiels 'Pay Pal' money. Nothing T.D. Vance says is honest, like Trump. So we now have two would-be Executive Officers who change their positions, and lies, weekly. Who honor nothing and no one. Vote Democratic!!

Democrats Abandoning Biden

 The Donald is an unbelievable character: poorly educated, immoral, boisterous, pathological in so many ways. People with uncritical attitudes are looking for a "leader" to lead them to prosperperity, an easy wisdom, someone to blame for the failings of mankind, to quit loosing the fight for love and glory, their definition of the "good life". Trump promises it all and they believe with hope of 'salvation'.

"A King, a King, my horse for a King!" And a fool without logic, science, coherent language, and a vicious lack of sympathy and empathy takes the stage and gets voted into high office and costs so much life and treasure lost that we could bear it no more. A true Politician, the too humble Biden, won over Trump and now "his friends" have turned on Biden as if he was the Judas, and not them. We all die, so far; but our hopes and dreams die first. My Jeffersonian hope of equality before the law and equal opportunity to find a few moments of purpose, affection, and friendship with work and family produced and honored is still just a hope wavering before the ending of my life. Trump has cursed America with irrelevancy and ignorance, cruelty, and hate. All I really know is this no way to Live! I'm sticking with Biden and aching aspirations.

What Biden Should do in his last 2.5 months should he lose the election...

 The TRUTH is the Supreme Court has given Biden 2.5 months worth of immunity from the Bill of Rights. Biden, if he fails to win a new term, can send the marines into the Senate and House, arrest all the Republicans for Treason to our Democracy, and doesn't need any evidence to prove it! Have the Marines go up to the Supreme Court and arrest the 5 Republican Justices that gave him immunity from the Bill of Rights. Thank them and lock them up for treason against the U.S. If need be, he declares Martial law and holds a new election without the Republicans permitted to run, and protect the Constitution, Hold a Constitutional convention. after which he cancels the Martial law. Resigns his presidency and holds new elections under the new Constitution. If Biden doesn't do this there will be civil war. And we will have to slaughter the Anti-democracy forces and persons again, like in 1860-64 and 1776. It only takes the strength to use the tools the Republicans have set up to use to take over, before they can take over. And, like Biden frequently says: this is no Joke.

Death for All ...

 Stand strong and straight, Biden. You are correct in your opinions of what government should be: for the People.

You are right abut what Republicans are backing: Death and destruction for the common man, wealth for the "wasps = White Anglo Saxon People" and death for all of us since the heat and energy will soon kill us all. I pity all who don't have an understanding of science: of thermodynamics, electrodynamics, gravimetric forces, and how planets DIE. Either party can win the election and Death for all will come within 40 years! As scientifically presented, 50 years ago. Forgive them Lord: They know not what they do! Vote Republican to die sooner!

Biden should fire his 'Help'

 Trump should be in jail for 4 major crimes. The DOJ has too many Trumpsters inside!

Biden's advisors and friends are working against him, along with the media. He should fire them, and not let them fire Him.

Ignorant Trump has vicious crooked people working for him twisting facts, lying about lying! And destroying Truth and Justice.

The timid Democrats won't support Democracy and won't use Justice to crush these 'Monarchists -Jefferson's word - who want to RULE and not serve. Trump and the band of Nazis will win because of Biden's being "assisted to resign" by "His Help". Biden has to be supported! He literally saved this country in 2020 and now his 'help' is helping the criminal Republicans destroy 250 years of freedom and growth toward a "more perfect Nation".

The Republicans are buying your life, your children's futures. With the Climate change none of us may be here in 50 years.

Stop the stupid and back someone who isn't afraid and knows why he isn't. Biden is 3 times the man Trump has ever been. And the frightened fools 'helping Biden' are burying him! Who needs help like that?

We need to go to the streets, demand abortion rights, demand the Bill of Rights not be subject to "immunity" from the Executive. WE should look the future in the face and fight for freedom, progress, decent economy, equality before the law and equality of opportunity.

Biden is competent and Trump isn't! The Democrats are frightened of Trump and won't 'lock him up!' TRUMP IS STEALING America right in front of us and The Democrats have chosen to help him by attacking Biden. Stupid is as stupid does!!

Some More "Stand by Biden"

 The Democrats have the most successful President in 50 years and won't support him! And I thought the Republicans were stupid for following a lying. cheating would be dictator who is a rapist and insurrectionist and seller of National secrets.

Biden is a winner. He has no recognizable challenger. The Democrats want him replaced and Superman is their guy?! Or some other fictional character. Biden did what he said he would with Trump: "Beat him like a drum." Now, because aging brings more trouble with his speech we will run ME for President. Or maybe YOU. Put away your fright and get ready to fight: for women's right to Abortion, for limits to Presidential power, for a Constitutional convention to start by re-enstating the Bill of Rights Amendments that the Supreme Court has taken from us - no trial by jury, trial by President. No free speech, press, religion, or assembly. Not safe from warrantless searches. No "due process", torture at any time for any person. Immunity is granted for violating something. Here it is Madison's Bill of Rights. The first 10 Amendments. Fight hard, with the truth, with belief, with courage. Biden is a winner, in so many ways, just back the WINNER. It's not hard!

Stand by Biden

 The Democrats have worked for people all their life. They have ASKED permission to speak, argue, get want they want and need. The Republicans have made decisions, life and death decisions for themselves and their workers. They made decisions. Biden made political decisions all his life. There is an abyss, but it isn't metaphorical. Democrats are frightened, Biden has made decisions and prospered in doing it. Its confident self-knowledge and knowing the enemy. Republicans are bullies, confident - over-confident, and almost universally 'crooked'. Winning is everything! Democrats must toughen up, call a bunch of crooks a bunch of crooks, show the disdain the Republicans have for "working people". Quit whining that Biden is imperfect! Everyone is imperfect! But the Republicans are cultivating "imperfection": The Supreme Bribe taking dictator-makers on the Court have destroyed the possibility of democracy in America - UNLESS we fight back! Biden will fight. No other Democrat in sight has fought the Republicans - and WON!

Fight with Biden, stand for the Bill of Rights - The "immunity" Court Decision has taken them away! Slow speech isn't the end to problem solving! Slow answers aren't confused - the words are. The right answer in time is worth more than all the wrong answers off the cuff. Biden remembers, slowly. All Octogenarians do. Get some back-bone Democrats. Get behind Biden and WIN for the future.

Save America if Trump Wins Nov. 2024

                The Plan to save American Democracy if Trump and the Republican Oligarchs take over the Government and begin to implement America with the Supreme Courts “no law” for Republicans and their President. {I missed the person’s name who said: “The Supreme Court has Ruled that the Constitution is Unconstitutional” but he hit the nail on the head.}

 

                Biden will be President for 2 months after the November election.  If he loses I advocate:

                Marshal Law must be ordered and used to remove, arrest, the 5 Republican Justices that ordered the Immunity. It is prima facie destruction of the Constitution done with and for a Group of Conspirators intent on replacing the Constitution with a dictatorship. The President can stop the Bill of Rights we are slaves: no freedom of Speech, Press, Religion, no personal or home security, no ‘due process of law’, no ‘fair trials’, torture for everybody and anybody; If it’s in the President’s wishes and needs while “running the Government”, and “getting Retribution”.

                Trump and his close advisors and the Senate and House Republican Conspirators must be identified and arrested: all under the Smith Act. Put the CRIMINALS in jail: “Lock ‘em up!’.

                A call for a Constitutional Convention must be made and local elections held to appoint members to the Convention. 

                Immunity for the President must be removed from our laws and that can only be done by changing the Constitution by adding self-protection from future ‘’Monarchists” to use Jefferson’s word, or “Dictators” to use Trump’s. The Supreme Court and Federal Judges must thereafter be elected. The Electoral College must be removed.

                I advocate for the People voting directly on the laws. We have 10,000 years of evidence that Representative and Monarchist governments neither work. A government gets corrupt. The people rebel and the Rebels win the fight for control. They set up a government. The government gets corrupted.  The people either live in a comfortable monarchy or Oligarchy – some form of slavery – or they Rebel.  We should stop the madness, accept the fact that power corrupts and don’t give any person or group a chance to enslave us for their Power and Glory. 

                Other advocates with better credentials than mine will work it out. Jefferson, Madison, Franklin, Washington, etc. have left their notes and papers as a base. They got close. We must take, and I mean TAKE, the next steps toward our “More Perfect Union” that will give the Monarchists all the rope they need under freedom by law and then remove them at the ballot box, or by force, as we did King George, and will do against this Republican Take Over, if we fail at the ballot box.

                Print up and send around a few million Constitutions, Federalist Papers, Declarations of Independence, and push movies like ’Judgment at Nuremberg’, etc. 

Curing the Absurdity of Life

 It's not the leaders or the people who are failing. It's the philosophers, psychologists, psychiatrists, scientists, and teachers.

The rich oligarchs have determined they can buy relatively incompetent people to fill the seats of government. And the "get the money" crowd, no matter what, get the money; declare themselves "SMART" and then start removing impediments" to their good life: law, justice, competitors, 'the enemy'. Power corrupts. Ask Caesar, King George, Christ, most of the popes, most of the 'conquers', most of the 'superior' people. Nietzsche said "Whatever lives, obeys" implying we are slaves to our drives, needs, competitions, and civilizations. It drives us. There is no escape but death, currently. It's the only problem and we aren't putting forward any attempted cures, except for disease cures. The Absurdity of life is that we are subservient to it, don't try and fix it, and are sore afraid. Commit to life, love, truth, morality, justice for all, and research on longevity.

God is not the answer...

 The Republican Party's goal is the rejuvenation of God in the decision making. It is Religion, religion, religion. Those who do not pursue a measurable and growing set of facts describing how the physical world works, but choose to pursue how the psychic, unknowable , world works, and who assert science cannot guide morals and assert only God can assert the truth and morality for the living simply sek to rule us. The question is WHY they choose magic over truth.

I believe, I believe, I believe these people are trying to USE me to support their position of power over me. If we know how to make and use things, like civilizations, cities, nations, governments, Universities, power grids, super markets, TV, radio, cars, trains, planes, rocket ships, that work! each and everyone of them. If we can take our scientific knowledge and engineer a daily food supply, a transportation system, an education system, an economic system, an entertainment and sports system, from science and math and engineering we can do anything. We have not thought of conquering death and we must. There are over 40 institutions for stopping aging and extending human longevity. We need to pull them together, put the best minds together, and extend it. God is not the answer, love is not the answer, LIFE is the answer. We the People refusing God and Oligarchs, Kings and Dictators, from controlling us, using us, as chattel. If governing bodies are not servants of the people they will rule us. Who makes the rules, RULES. They do not Represent!!

God over Science, again; or rather, still...

When I heard President Bush 2 say he answered to a higher authority than the Constitution I knew the innerards of America were poisoned by the Religion the First Amendment tried to dampen, in both it's ferver and 'Godliness'. God or King was the political world from Rome and Christianity to Hitler and the Jews. The twentieth century put science and truth up front in the greatest effort to win the faith of mankind away from the middle ages where Governments amassed armies to fight the Popes and Mullahs after the Crusades cost so many lives and much treasure. Truth by Combat was the decider. The best engineers always won the wars. Prayer gave way to the Bow then to the gun. Jefferson, Madison, Franklin, etc., knew England's history and pushed freedom of religion and belief out of Government. The Republicans want God so they can use Him to bully the raw uneducated voters of the land. They know what God wants: Rich and powerful Republicans to Rule the poor science and truth oriented 'Under Class' working Americans. Well, "It's Back". The "Bribe Taking Supreme Court" (It almost gags me to write or say the line) is claiming "God" above the Constitution to make women slaves to the Congress and the Courts. God lives! And Man's and Woman's freedom dies. Always has, always will. It's amazing how the 'Bible Thumpers' keep finding new ways to fight the truth: Science simply works. Cars, houses, planes, armies, super markets, slide rules and now computers work. 

Supreme Court? Oh, Yes, WE Take Bribes Here...

 They take bribes at the Supreme Court of the United States.

Check out Citizens United. Tell me that donated money is somehow speech. The voting rights act was changed so the "South can Rise Again" Dobbs took away Woman's freedom. Replaced it with Gods messages to the bribers and bribed. It's bribery, that's all. We know who has taken these bribes. Why don't we know charges have been served on the bribers and the bribed? Will the Department of Justice ever serve a subpoena on the bribers and the bribed? If not, then the Oligarchs will rule America forever.

Republicans are filling up our Prisons with their unqualified Talent

 I think the Republicans should make a plan to quit filling up our prisons with unproven 'wise men', with advisors who advise stealing, lying, cheating to the public. Trump stole the 2016 election. The House and Senate were Republican Majorities. And they failed the economy, lost to Covid with stupid Trump saying everyone can get tested when they couldn't. In 2020 they held a take over of the American government and gave us 3000 more Republican prisoners. Jan 6th left 5 Americans DEAD at the Capital. We will soon quit supporting the Financial Mob to run our country. The totally unqualified tramps and thieves, all in and out of Prison are pathetically incapable of passing a law, of keeping allies, of making a decent economy. This raw inexperienced, poorly educated Ship Of Fools have no place on the Government Payroll! Each of the last 4 Republican Speakers of the House were more inexperienced than his predecessor.

They didn't even know the rules for passing a bill. Rich and still DUMB and CROOKED. Give America a break American Oligarchs stop paying your Puppets for their STUPIDITY. You are filling our Prisons. It's a bad example for our children.

Trump should be sentenced to Prison: ans NYT aticle 6/3/24

 The case certainly "Should have been been rought". The proof, TRUMP was guilty of hiding the TRUTH of his being a sexual Trick and sexual degenerate from the voters in 2016.

It should not have been tried only if you believe that lying, cheating,. and fixing elections is proper. I don't!! Trump should go to prison. Why? Because he has pardoned killers, tramps, and thieves when he was President!. Because he has no understanding of morals, laws, or earning a living. But, mostly because he wants to be Prfesident to tear down the work put in by Washington, Jefferson, Madison, etc., and Lincoln and Franklin Deleno Roosevelt. If Trump is not improsoned for violating the voting laws and fixing the 2016 election then the prisons serve no purpose. It's self-protection. It's demanded by the fundamentals of every religion known: Do no harm. Trump seeks power to harm America. Remove him from the population he twists, lies to, and whose weaknesses he uses. You will stop our ability to seek a more perfect nation and join the Republican wish to make us a more imperfect, slave nation, owned and controlled by the rich and incompetent people who cannot buy understanding, joy, love, and dignity if you do not LOCK HIM UP.. In short: "LOCK HIM UP" or assist in the destruction of truth, justice, hope, hard work for a better future.

Turn him free and you assist Trump in destroying America, truth, justice, and our longed for 'more perfect Nation'. If we need saved from Trump because we have failed ourselves, then the Judge can defend us from our fault. LOCK TRUMP UP and start on his supporters next. Legally!

Stand with Trump's New York Jury, behind Truth and Truth seekers.

 The Republcan Senate freed Trump from being responsible for his treason against America and the Office that he held. Now they ask you to stand behind them and their bribe taking Supreme Court. Don't sell out to the incompetent and power hungry. Don't stand with them or behind them. Stand behind Justice and the rule of law. Stand behindTrump's New York jury: truth seekers, truth finders and truth supporters. Accept the Truth and vote the incompeent, arrogant, and lost Republicans out of office and onto the historical pile of losers reaching out for themselves and not for their country.

 The Republican Party must stop and look and look again at itself.  Because a group of supporters are going along with yhe irrational and illegal philosophy of Donald Trump probably is not the best path for a set of legally trained Representatives to join in the illegalities of Trump and Co.  They can do what they want to, I shall oppose them every way I can, I just don't believe they can join a band of criminals and get benefit out of it.

Amend the Constitution! Support the People to vote directly on the laws, the President, and the Judges.

Once again, "Jefferson was RIGHT!" The Supreme Court, as defined in the Constitution, has a position of final authority of defining the law. The Justices are appointed for life by the President, the head of a political party. And the Justices cannot have their salary cut. The Court, the Justices, are not answerable to the Executive or Legislative powers. They are, literaly, a law unto themselves. We don't vote for them and they are not answerable to the people. Jefferson said it is as if they are not even part of the Country. And NOW, They have declared the rich can buy votes because it is free speach. Women must carry tragically malformed, danerously ill, unwanted pregancies, because Church and God want the women to "replenish the world" with workers for rich and powerful. "Give a small man authority and he becomes smaller". Revisit "Judgement at Nuremberg" and see how death and destruction of civilizations follow directly from the greedy getting power and controling the LAW, the basis of civilization and community, of justice and equality. The Constitution needs Amended: Representatives don't represent and Justices are not Just. The Judges must be Elected directly by the people for specific terms of office on a rotating basis. The Executive must be directly elected by the people by removing the Electoral College. The Legislaure of Representatives must be replaced by the people voting directly on the laws they live under. And we need to do it quickly!!

Answer to 'Socrates and Plato need studied'; NYT 5/19/24

 Socrates, and especially Plato, adhered to the belief that there are 'special' people, wise people, who should run the government. 'Only when the kings are philosophers, will society, and its government, be correct. But there is no way of determining who is wise, unless he has a gun in his hand or several people behind him with the gun. Vote! Only by listening to the goals of a canditate, and finding his intentions superior to his opponents will you chose who you believe should be the Executive officer. And only the people, by majority vote can conclude their choosing of the Executive. They, We, should also vote for the Judicial officers. And, finally, there should not be a leislature, the people should vote directly for the laws under which they live. Representatives take the offered bribes. And Judges take the offered bribes. When will mankind grow up and take the time and energy to participate in making law, enforcing the laws, and interpretering the laws they make.

The pandemic: Trump lied, Americans died; 1.1 million Americans died because Trump lied.

 It's simple: Trump, March 2000, said,"We're testing everybody. We do more tests than any other country."  It was, and still is, a lie. The tests we had in the health departments didn't work and they would not permit other labs to use their internal tests. Trump lied, Americans died, for a few more years.

Trump touted 3 different drugs as cures, probably for kick back money, none of  the touted drugs worked. Trump lied and we died.   Trump chose against every life saving proposal science presented. Then we had the shoot up with disinfectant episode. Here was a totally uninformed politician touting death. And more disaster.

Americans died.  

When you go to the polls to vote and you vote for Trump, you are voting for a proven rapist, an obvious insurrectionist, and a rather raw uneducated incompetent old liar who says he will destroy American democracy, the American economy, and freedom. I believe him. He will. If you vote for Trump you are choosing the demise of America.  

I stand against giving up freedom, capitalism, decent education, the good life as an aspiration.

Damn the Republican agenda of ending America. They have chosen to win by any means, by force of arms if necessary, so they can control the entire Nation. They have thrown down the gauntlet: They are no longer our opponents, the loyal opposition, they are our ENEMIES. We must prepare our armed services to turn back the insurrection Trump has already designed and keep the Republicans from taking our freedom, and our sacred honor to our Nation, from us. 

Trump: Telling the Truth Relative to Jan 6 2020

 It's what his parents told him.  He just forgot about it until last week.  Well, He's had memory problems all his life. He forgot he raped (at least one) women. Went bankrupt, at least in 4 businesses. Sent people to take over the Government by invading Congress on Jan. 6th.  He said he'd join them but he didn't. Big sign of his courage. He said his guards wouldn't let him join in the insurrection and killing.  I don't believe that is true. He didn't fire any of them. He didn't have them arrested for refusing a direct order from the Commander and Chief of the Armed Service of the United States. He didn't make an issue of not being a coward and staying under their protection in the White House. He didn't go to the insurrection because he is a coward and didn't care what happened to the  people who held his riot to stop the transfer of power  from his failed Presidency and failed election to Biden. Pathetic coward, trying to  avoid  the punishment he has coming for being who he is and what he's done. If we don't put him in jail we may have to close our jails. They really aren't just for the poor, weak, sick, downtrodden people.  I've always thought  so,  anyway, 

When Truth and Ignorance collide Truth must give way

When truth and ignorance collide truth must give way. Not since crazy George III ruled the Colonies has stupidity had such a proponent as the rapist, insurrectionist, and laughable fool as EX_PRESIDENT Donald Trump. The masochists of America have joined together and let Donald put bribe taking small people on the Supreme Court and made slaves of all women, most immigrants, and the raw uneducated of America. The intelligencia are the enemy and the coward war-monger Trump is the hero. Shakespeare wouldn't know if this was Comedy or Tragedy. The next three generations can't pay off the debt Trump left after all he stole. Just kiss America away. Ignorance has won again. Watch out when the Nucks start flying from Korea, China, and Russia. I'm heading for Canada or Singapore. 

lack of longevity

 Several reasons explain aging. The first is evolutions lack of good timing: we get old after having children and evolution has no need or timing to push back our aging. We have had our children and therefore are not needed any longer to keep the species going. Secondly, whatever the evolved solutions might have been they are simply too late. Too soon old and too late smart coupled to our metabolism make us un-necessary, the species has been preserved. We have a longevity problem because the stem cells fail to keep homeostasis well and functioning. So we die and demonstrate our irrelevance for the generations behind us.

Stop the Tyranny of the American Oligarchs Bribing and Guiding the Fall of Our Democracy

The Supreme bribe takers have ruled that States cannot keep the rapist and insurrectionist, off their state ballots for President. They gave the states the power to decide if Abortions can be performed in their State. They would seem to have double standards on State Power. Colorado found Trump guilty of insurrection. The New York civilian Court found Trump guilty of Rape. I find the Supreme Court of the United States a political organization. You can tell the difference because this Supreme Court takes bribes, a Very Political action. And the Department of Justice has it's hands tied over charging the Bribery. I don't understand why. Even more, I don't understand why the DOJ doesn't investigate, charge and indict the BRIBERS, the Republican Oligarch Billionaires who have undermined all three of our Political Institutions and given us tramps and thieves in the Legislature, Executive, and now Judicial "Tramps and Thieves" to destroy our Democracy. I see this concentrated untaxed billions buying Senators, Judges, and Representatives, and Trump, the Dictator lover and woman abuser, Citizen abuser, and general weak fool. Consequently, I am not sanguine, not hopeful on Democracy's survival in the USA. I don't think we can stand and be victorious against the strength of well planned destruction. I don't think we have the understanding, strength, or fortitude to think we are endangered and are required to 'win our Democracy' one more time. "Stop the Un-American tyranny". 

Crooked, Corrupt, Monarchist, Supreme, bribe taking, Court

There is no Justice in America, any longer. There is "shut up and obey" as our current legal system. The 'bribe taking' Supreme Court is giving Trump time to 'conquer', by hook and by crook' the Executive office of the United states. They do so because they want to RULE America. The only way out is for "We the People" to vote in a vast majority of Democratic candidates to the Executive and Legislative branches of our government. Put Trump in jail. Indict the bribe taking Supreme Court 'Monarchists' ( And their 'bribers') and start drawing up some Amendments of the Constitution that protect us from being a self destructive Country, and we sure look like we are that today.  

Crooked Senator McConnell bragging about destroying America - and Retiring.

 McConnel is and was a corrupt, self serving, sly 'hill billy' with only his own interest, and ego, of interest to him. He took bribes from Russian Oligarchs and took them off the sanction list so he could take the bribe, permit them to build an 'aluminum factory' "spy house" . And his wife, who was the Secretary of Transportation, built the Russian spies a new road to their new, Republican and McConnell blessed spy center. Scum, is the only adjective I can think of to describe a vicious anti-democratic, self-serving, stupid, greedy Republican Politician. America is not strong enough to survive these idiots given by the Republican Billionaires, as our Representatives, and their contempt of, and for, the average American Citizen. Unless the average American Citizen, stops for a second, and perceives the threat of total slavery to idiots, we have no chance for honest, strong, good, government. The Republicans were already down the road of lying and cheating to try and save their "superior persons", slave owners of previous generations from complete irrelevance, that they have earned, and Trump came to save them by advocating total control by the stupid and incompetent over the average, hopeful, American Citizen. You must now kiss it all good bye and obey the dictatorial, better than you, rotten, Trumpsters. I'm looking to sell my home and emigrate to North Korea, where I will be safer than being an American.

MAGA and Trump's 'Politics'

"Stupid is as stupid does." If you question power hungry Trump and Republican supporters on what they want it comes down to simple power. Power to not accept science and history. Power to say the 'elites' have taken over. And the elites are destroying "The common man's" way of life. The real trouble here is that they are correct. The ten poorest states are Republican controlled. The Same goes for worst educated. Poverty and ignorance are what the elitist left want to eliminate on the path to a "more perfect Union". 

Maga, clearly support Trump because he claims to support them. And he does. He doesn't speak to open crowds. Only the selected downtrodden. He did nothing but get them killed, especially during the pandemic. Down with wealth and education. Up with Religion and financial 'Relief', low paying jobs, No vocational schools, no book reading, no law.  

Prerequisites to Free Speech and Open Campuses

 Certainly free speech is a paramount requisite for learning and so is an educational system that understands that. But even requisites have pre- requisites. Students and educators need a decent philosophy that commits to learning, growing, committing. And inside, or beside, that, intellectual integrity is required. The schools are being beaten down, along with so many of our institutions, about any stands they take. Liberal - No GOOD, rotten, criminal, SOFT. Conservative, NO GOOD, greedy, dictatorial, power hungry, dishonest. The Churches are teaching politics and they don't have the slightest idea what politics is. It's the opposite of faith. It's containing truth, honor, MORALITY, and compromising. Who is without sin? Who is without gaps of honesty? Who is superior to anybody else? Who is still looking for the truth? They know they already have it. "I AM RIGHT" is not an answer to anything with trust, integrity, and respect for other, even flawed, opinions. Truth makes you free. Makes a society free. Dishonesty, is not strength. It's suicide for a culture. You don't really know very much. Nobel prizes are in small, relatively closed , disciplines. Demand intellectual honesty, intellectual integrity. But, like mathematics, not every one studies it.

Trump should be saying the President can do anything criminal - Biden might shoot him in his orange head..

 Trump should do what he never does: rethink his position. He claims the President has total immunity and can do anything.  He's saying Biden can walk up to him, on television, and kill Trump, with impunity.  I would love it!

And, of course, right now, Biden can send a murder squad, have them kill Trump, and pardon them.  Really not such a bad idea Donald Trump.

You say Joe should pardon the Jan 6 traitors.  Why didn't you? Follow your own logic Donald. Biden should have you, and all the House Republicans that signed the amicus brief to the Supreme Court taken out and shot on television. Then pardon the killers.  

Trump claims the legal actions, the 91 indictments is a "Political" ploy.  But Biden can have you murdered and free the murders if he wanted you out of the way. You know, like you freed the soldiers who murdered people.  Seems fair to me.  We should put signs up: I'll murder Trump for the pardon.  BY Trump's logic Biden could do it himself and then pardon himself.  

So Donald, until you become the President and shot down 4 other Presidents have, I wouldn't tell the Public The President can do whatever he wants to do.  Break your legs,blind you, take all your money. You get my point, Trump? You've put a target on your big orange head.  Best thing you can do is plea guilty, ask to go to Guantanamo.

Time to Get Mad, Time to Stand Up for Truth and Justice, Time to Rember that we won the Revolution and the Civil war over haters of liberty, justice, and truth.

When you have to tell a despicable person they are despicable and they get to turn it around on you for being unkind to poor stupid vicious despicable people you have no chance of rational intercourse. 

The Republicans are determined to break the democracy and rule us by fear and force. It's easy to see. They back being superior to the citizenry. They said, in full glory to the World, twice, Trump was innocent of crimes we saw him commit, and they saw him commit. The Republicans are criminal, insurrectionists, backed by big money from the American Oligarchs who believe we are all for sale.

Vote for control over your own morality, your God, or none, Your own values and hope for the future of the country. Vote against the despicable criminal rotten dog Republicans and don 't be afraid to call them that.  It's what they are.  Get down on the street corners and bars and don't walk away from a Trumpster pushing stupid words and lies. Tell him , or her, they are wrong. Trumps put 700 or more people into federal prison on Jan 6 invasion of Congress. Tell his supporters he'll lead all his supporters there. Speak up for women's rights, civil rights, worker's right, American's rights. Don't get pushed around, verbally or physically. You don't only count, you are responsible to make yourself count.

Get mad. Get ready for the fight, unfortunately, of our countries life. And remember, we slaughtered these 'superior haters of justice and equality' in the last civil war.

 

Civil War!? ... Perhaps.

 Most of these bought and paid for Republican 'Representatives' are 'Representing' their bribers  They don't understand much: like treason against our Democracy.  We may well have to start preparing for the coming civil war.  I suggest getting ar 15's joining the NRA to learn how to use it. And prepare to "protect and Defent the Constitution". Treason must be answered or our Nation and lives and freedom will go down the tubes.  I hate thinking about it but we should prepare for it. November may well present us with armed rebellion and the army standing aside to see who wins.  We will soon see If the Courts will also back treason. If so. We may need to be armed and ready sooner.  We should certainly not panick. But the boy scouts are right, I think, be prepared.  The Republicans following this Mad Dog Trump (insurrectionist, rapist, and advocate for  the violent over throw of our Government) want to shove their opinions and hopeless lives down our throats. Trump says we are out to get him. If the courts protect him we may well need to pull together and take up the position the raw goofy Maga Republicans are pushing us to.  We won in 1860.  We can lose in 2024. Let's choose, perhaps against our will, to not fail. Stand up for America, Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln,and all "Our Honored Dead".

Republican Candidates state pardon for Trump

 Of course the Insurrectionist Rapist no-talking, no-thinking fool will get pardoned by Republican Presidents. The Republicans have fallen in love with power hungry stupidity and anti-reason .

Law must be ignored. Truth must be ignored. Wishes for prosperity, hard work, the good, good children, good schools, are all WRONG in the Republican philosophy. Lie, Cheat, steal, get power to rule over people, to destroy truth, justice, honesty, hope, religion, and the history of this once sane democratic, productive, dependable nation. It is no longer a SHIP of FOOLS. It is a sixth of a Nation of FOOLS, Republican fools determined to make slaves of all of us for the greater glory of no longer being ignored for incompetence,for their obedience to the Rich, contempt for the educated, scientific, hard working people of America. Its become a Band of Fools determined to destroy those who love America, fight for justice, friendship, and have malice toward none and charity for all.  Trump is running for King, not president, and the Republicans are running for places in his Monarchy - Earls, and Princes and power by taking it from the people. The Republicans have already surrendered their honesty and integrity and replaced it with a vicious hate and stupidity. By, by, America. Good will not triumph  over the bought and paid for  who are too inept to govern a nation but contemptuous enough to lie and cheat to steal it and make them and their children "more wonderful" by fiat and not harad work guided by logic, hope and history.
