Congressional Hearings in my Life...

I have watched Congressional Hearings since 1953. There were the Kefauver hearings on corruption. Then McCarthy hearings asserting everybody in the Pentagon and State Department and Hollywood were Communists. Then The Warren investigation came and I read it. Not very compelling either. Watergate was a blast just after finding out that Vietnam was an illegal war and the Harvard Boys got so many killed knowing they had no chance of winning the War. Reagan didn't remember anything about the Iran-Contra Affair but the hearings were good. The Republicans, after 8 years of investigation Impeached Bill Clinton for consensual oral sex; the impeachment was more obscene than Bill's actions. George Bush and Gore had hanging chads and the Supreme court ruled on a case it had no jurisdiction over, except when it says it has jurisdiction it does have the jurisdiction. But in no case before or after has the Supreme court ruled that it has jurisdiction over a State Supreme Courts Rulings over the state election processes. And we are all still looking for the "weapons of mass destruction". Now I've been through the Mueller Debacle and the Ukraine hearings. We will survive, but never be the same. We won't even be able to hold our heads up if and when we get to Heaven. Please dear God, deliver us from evil, and from our elected officials who do this evil, generation after generation.

Monarchy or Actual Democracy

Its a philosophical choice where the philosophies are pushing to the "extremes". 1. We must work together to accomplish decided goals and the whole country will prosper as a consequence. 2. We must raise ourselves up, work for ourselves and our loved ones, get as much as you can legally get and we will all rise up together and the country will prosper as a consequence." The extremes are now: 1. Every one's opinion counts equally, no one is superior, we are all in this together and to keep decision making power we must trust each other and follow the majority opinion. 2. There are superior people who must make decisions for all of us and to acquire and keep the power of decision making anything goes. It is Jefferson saying "man is wise enough to govern Himself and "Monarchists" are wrong while Hamilton says man is not wise enough to govern himself and must have the rich and powerful make decisions , Monarchists are right. There is no attempt to pull in from the extremes and "compromise" a little, or to find an Aristotelian middle. Kings and Princes make the laws or everyone votes directly on the laws. We have neither. I'm for the latter. See assocactualdemocracy.com.

Trump on Baghdadi

The same "wonderful" intelligence assets and investigators that found al-Baghdadi are the ones Trump has disparaged for 3 years. They are the same ones who found all the data Mueller used to show Trump putting his own needs and wants ahead of the needs of the American people and helping Putin destabilize the world. Trump contradicts himself about the value of these American Officers: they have always been the quiet hard working people making America and the world a better place for all of us. Trump is simply unable to look back or ahead and make statements based on the facts rather than his desires. If we fail to impeach him we must vote him out along with all the people who empower his indecent and narrow philosophy that hurts us all. All praise to the people who found and stopped al-Baghdadi.

Adult Stem Cell Regeneration Ad put on AFAR

This is an advertisement for Adult Stem Cell Regeneration, LLC. I'm putting it here because I think this community should know I have watched my 76 year old body rebuild itself from the inside out over the last 3 years. Empirical evidence: my arms have defined muscles, thick skin, and new dark hair growing. I have a courier job driving packages from one point to another in northern NJ. The rest of the ad, and the other regenerated organs, are found at http://adultstemcellregeneration.com/. I know it's impossible. I know it can't happen, I know it is the most improbable thing in the world; and I know it has happened to me and at least one other person over 76. I want everyone to have the benefit of actually regenerating their adult stem cells. Think, for a moment, if this is true, how things will change. It's mostly what the anti-aging community has been working to accomplish. It is certainly increased healthspan, and probably lifespan.

Trump and Republicans against all

Trump has won the war on children and babies. He has separated them from their parents on many occasions, because he cannot think of a more vicious thing to do to people. And "We the people of the United States" say "It's a pity" and "It's not who we are". They are right about the pity part and wrong about who we are. It took 80 years (well, 4 score and 7 years) after the Declaration said all men are crated equal until we warred among the slavers and non-slavers to free the slaves. It took another 60 years for WOMEN to get the vote. It was starting to look like we were making progress toward all men being equal. But Reagan and the Republicans beat down the "equal rights amendment" and kept women subservient to men and money. Today we live in nation where: "You are free to obey. Quit obeying and they take away that freedom". A nation where only the elected aristocracy votes on laws, votes for the Executive officers, and no one votes for Judges. We are better educated and more numerous slaves than any in history. Well, we can change it. But that means not obeying. Few of us have the guts for that. We'd rather see the war on children than oppose such a war. Philip Wylie thought he lived in a generation of vipers. Those were timid vipers, these are far superior vipers, American Oligarch funded, ignorance led, and winning the war against the children. I would say "God Help us" but the Evangelical Christians have already joined the war on the side of the vipers.

Ms. Vanderbuilt died...

Character and substance are hard to define, easier to appreciate, and rarely to be perfected. Many of the "rich and famous" have striven to present themselves as the exception to the ordinary, to actually be more wonderful, beautiful, and worthy of our attention. They reach many of their goals, and then, they to, unavoidably, and unjustly, die. Many of them were, and are, "bigger" humans than the average ranger. But the average ranger is, in my not so humble opinion, really superior to them. Without coercion the average person believes, "thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not bear false witness, thou shalt not covet thy neighbors wife". The "rich and famous" got the memo, they just didn't believe it applied to them. And it probably didn't. But only because we the people were solid, good, hard-working, child-raising, family-supporting, good people. The rich and famous, torn by mankind's "un-perfectibility", rebelled against the norms, the caring, the hopes of mankind, and scandalized us by doing the attention grabbing foolish things they did for personal attention. I envied their ability to use their wealth to effectively scoff at our "normalcy" and try and force us to attend to their indifference to our normal way of life of working hard, marrying, raising a family, and trying to make a better world. They failed because I would rather be "normal" than a show off trying to tell others I am abnormal, and you should strive to be abnormal too.
