“Principals?” If she means the principal pullers of strings and pushers of power buttons behind the scenes, that seems to fit her. As for having principles with integrity, I’ve seen little to none of that in her.

Corruption may reign in Chicago, but this one seems way over the top. Realistically who really cares about this guy other than the fact that it shows an absolutely ridiculous turn of events. Seems the guy was pretty guilty and he used racial and sexual preference bias as his defense. Jesse just makes his “partners in sinful sexual adventures” look really bad. I am glad that I believe in the final judgement.

That is a very good point, Mr. Tracy!

National Sentinel) Confession: Is former CIA Director James Clapper trying to get out from under the bogus witch hunt investigation of the 2016 Trump campaign? Because it sure sounds like it given what he said on CNN, where he is an analyst, on Saturday.

Clapper actually came out and admitted that the special counsel probe into Team Trump 2016 is a politically-motivated scam undertaken at the behest of former President Barack Obama.

He also said that Obama was behind all of the FBI and DoJ corruption regarding Spygate — the ‘counterintelligence operation’ launched at the behest of the president in order to spy on a rival presidential campaign.

He said:

If it weren’t for President Obama we might not have done the intelligence community assessment that we did that set up a whole sequence of events which are still unfolding today including Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation. President Obama is responsible for that. It was he who tasked us to do that intelligence community assessment in the first place.

Get behind? Hah, you better believe it!

Shades of Macron…

Rhodes Scholar…….hmm! As a person who has nominated extremely bright students for both Rhodes and Marshall scholarships, and failed to get nominees awards, I question whether intelligence or socialist bias is the primary characteristic looked for by the awards committees. I don’t honestly know…..just thinking out loud, and remembering Bill Clinton’s activist anti-Vietnam war activities in England.

You bring up a good/interesting point CFS. Bill Clinton was far from being alone as an anti war protester! Actually, far from being alone!

Humm Professor………part of a plan ,,,,,wouldn’t you say……the connections are not about scholarship……..I would say……. 🙂

And Jerry, “the connections are about”?

Owl……check silver stealer.net……..for your answer…..I have mentioned this several times….in the past.http://silverstealers.net/

Okay Jerry, thank you. Right now I am and have been for the last 2 -3 hours focusing on political issues. (Not that this is not necessarily a political issue, but I am more concerned with issues like Venezuela, Russia, China and the others.)

We have moved into very scary times my friend.

I assume that you are a Bear’s fan!

Big time sports……Notre Dame

The Biggest, Jerry!

Bears stink ….you have to be from Chicago to be a Bear….. lol

I could have predicted what you guys were going to say about my pick. 😉

Recall people voted “we dont like Hillory”, now people understand Trump is an Israeli serving Zionist warmonger, in other words, zero change.

Next election will be the first when young people, millennials, outnumber you old farts, boomers.

New, new christian, not old wrinkled dried up christian but the new all encompassing we luv everyone including transgender,gay,lesbian and whatever else ya got kinda inclusive christian.
Hell, “lets pay reperations for slavery” kinda thinking.

Aside from that, people are tired of religions, the Jews killing and the Moslem Islamist isis crap and people are tired of americans getting invovled.
Especially when they have begun to equate the price tag to american city streets.

May not matter of course, the mic/banks are in control.

In any case, more people have begun to understand Trump is threatening the end of the planet with how he treats nations.

The melennials are going to want an american that serves america before anything else, Pete Buttigieg is going to come across as reason.

So, thats my pick, you guys have a guess this far in advance? Imagine the Vegas odds.
If I still went to that police state country I’d bet on him.

“So, thats my pick, you guys have a guess this far in advance? Imagine the Vegas odds.
If I still went to that police state country I’d bet on him.”

Aren’t there offshore Web sites where you can place a bet on him?

Hell, you could very well be right. I predict this country will go hard left, if not in 2020 then 2024.

But like you say, no matter who becomes Emperor, it’s always the Banksters, MICC and the rest of the Swamp that wins and certainly the Zionists and the Israeliars. The peons take it in the shorts every time.

b…..Do not get so excited……I seriously doubt you read or understand the scriptures.. so, you might not be qualified to lecture old farts that have more time on their hands to study………..and if , you did , you would not rant in ignorance., for I was once ignorant…..Study to show yourself approved, so you will not parish….just saying., for God wishes no one to parish…..and God Loves everyone, …he simple does not approve of their actions…..Remember, THERE IS NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN…..
For God wants nothing to do with unrighteousness …..the devil is in the details….and that required more than lip service, that so called christians leaders of many colors are not telling their flocks.

Politically, anything goes which is what we deserve for being asleep for such a long time.
Old farts realize one thing ……TIME IS SHORT…..and I think you are not a spring chicken.
Evidently, when you put up the Harvard qualification, you were not aware of what has been going on at HARVARD……for over 100 yrs…..Remember Harvard use to be for religious studies……now it is far from it.
Further, if, you did your studies on being who was Cecil Rhodes,…and being a Rhodes scholar ….you would not be so easily swayed.
I am just looking under the hood, and I see outwardly, the guy is not someone this country needs.

BTW…..I do enjoy all your comments….as I have said before…..best….ootb

Jerry, Im not lecturing about religion.
dont mean to come across like that.
Apologize if I do.

Yes Im an old fart too, especially compared to millennials, they dont think like we do.
They have begun to outnumber, and democracy is numbers, supposedly.

About religion groups, its just what I have seen over the years.
Each one figures they got it figured, I am far from qualified as to which one if any actually do.
Maybe you have them figured, I would have no idea, but your just not the first person I have heard figure that.

I just happen to like what Jesus was talkin about and givin examples of etc.
I also like the Buddha teachings,aboriginal,Sikh, heck I like the ancient greek and scandinavian stories too.
Archaeologists have contributed to our understanding of ourselves too.
From all of it my preferred thinking comes from the Seth material which encompasses all the religions.

I understand Cecil R was a Rothchild man, robbed the heck outta south africa.

b, I personally think that if a person truly has Grace that Christian principles and hard to misinterpret. I could be wrong, but the teachings from God have treated me very well.

b…..thanks for the follow up…..
As, I said,….always appreciate your comments.

I would have to agree, …..boomer generation has fallen short….
been deceived by design…..really sad….but, this world is short lived.
The next generation will be the same….

Really Al?

So you were picking Trump from the beginning?

The pres will be who the mic/banks decide it will be.
Maybe they wont be finished with Trump and my pick will have to wait an extra 4 years.

Another thing, this guy has written a book, Trump has yet to read one. 😉

b,

Im actually in the group that hasnt read one yet.

Sorry b……..those are not our ideas……those are from scripture, which is the guide line.

When I say “your ideas” I mean Christian ideas,(i dont mean yours specifically) each group seems to have their own, all coming from the same scripture, which doesnt actually look to be true, (being the same I mean)

Dif interpretations, each one thinks they interpret correctly, they can not all be right, and its possible they could all be wrong.
Actually, how the heck would I know? Maybe they are all right.
Lottsa rooms in the house god built I hear.

And that is what I also heard, b.

Jerry, I dont see any harm if a person is called to pray by voice, horns or bells if the person bows before statues, faces east or stands at walls,language,number of wives just doesnt matter, its all just what a person is comfortable with.
To each his own.

Well b, but there are certain very important principals. Like the teachings of the Bible.

“”each one thinks they interpret correctly, they can not all be right, and its possible they could all be wrong.””
The devil is in the details…….only one life, …..and better get it right…..
Check out this book,….for details on ALL faiths…..
FAST FACTS AND FALSE TEACHINGS….by Ron Carlson and Ed Decker

Thanks Jerry. I would ask, “Is this particular book fact or opinions”?

You might want to consider a bit more of the Bible. The actions of the gay community are something that we can opine on. The actions of the men and women taking part in these actions are not to be judged by us, but to be judged by God.

Romans 1
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts,
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

1 Corinthians 2:15 King James Version (KJV)
15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

How many times have you heard someone whine, “Judge not, that ye be not judged?” This verse of Scripture from Matthew 7:1 is often quoted out of context by people who are terrified at the idea of someone preaching against sin or pointing out any form of error in anyone, especially in themselves.

As I stood in a voting line one day I overheard a woman justifying her foolish choice for president by saying, “Well, we aren’t supposed to judge.” Imagine that! Choosing NOT to judge a political candidate on election day! No wonder our nation is in such a mess!

As for Matthew 7:1, the context (verses 1-5) allows judging after you have first judged YOURSELF. Jesus did not make a blanket statement against judgment. He simply pointed out a RULE for judging.

Now, the word “judge” in its various forms (judgeth, judging, judgment, judges, etc) is found over 700 times in God’s word. One whole book of the Bible is titled “Judges” for it was written at a time when God raised up judges to lead His people.

As we are about to see, God EXPECTS His people to judge. In fact, you are sinning against God if you refuse to judge! (Read that again, please)

Are you angry enough to join a local taxpayers organization and fight tax increases?

Also, as I recall you said you interview the spokesperson of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. As far as I know that never happened.

I will definitely look into that right away, Ed. As a matter of fact,I will make a call on Monday. Thanks for the reminder. I thought it had been done.

I just took a break from the blog and put it in my calendar for Monday.

That is the best news I’ve heard all day.

Here is some contact info:

Representatives of the media
Please call Susan Shelley, Vice President, Communications, at 213-384-9656.

You might find this interesting.

https://www.hjta.org/about-hjta/american-tax-reduction-movement/

And when you interview the HJTA person could you ask what is the most effective way to fight local tax increases?

And the media is schizophrenic about it…one paper that endorsed a local sales tax increase published an article urging people to make their big ticket purchases this weekend to avoid the tax increase.

That certainly is schizophrenic, Ed!

Little Blaine, Washington my home address just announced a new B and O Tax because it is virtually broke.

In several cities in Commiefornia the sales tax is over 10 percent…and they’re bitching for more tax increases.

Beware America:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xq0OOe00BGY

Interesting take on criminality of government.

This country has a feral gooberment debt of over 22 trillion with hundreds of trillions of feral unfunded liabilities. The states are also deeply in trouble with debt and unfunded liabilities.

It makes no difference if the sales tax is 5% or 10% or 13%. When will people ever understand that no matter how much the politicians take, it will never be enough?

350 Million ignorant people, who have about 5000 leading them astray……

You think that it is only about 5,000?

Allowing politicians to raise taxes only encourages them to spend more and rack up more debt.

And their first priority is to use that tax money for the good of the politicians and their cronies.

That is a great point that many people don’t seem to realize. For the most part all of the Mexicans that I come into contact with are very honest and very hard working. I still simply don’t believe in breaking the law.

The links that came up for me had absolutely nothing to do with Medical Reform and simply was yet another pitch to impeach the President.

What Are the Problems With Globalization?

https://www.reference.com/science/problems-globalization-55b1782c3ad8e1b0

A very interesting and accurate counterpoint to the previous article. This article too makes a certain amount of sense. For the benefit of the world, I side with the op ed writer of the previous article.

The main question here, Excelsior, is do we want to benefit our country or do we want to be in a position where America can be in a position to help others as, at times, we have in the past. Notice I said “at times”. There have been many instances in the past where we have definitely not helped the citizens of other countries. Again what is your opinion?

The Problem With Globalism

Clifford D. May – Founder & President – The Washington Times – July 27, 2016

https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2016/07/27/the-problem-with-globalism/

This was obviously written during the time of the 2016 election. I thought that it was very well written and thought out. Many thanks Excelsior.

As usual some good points made here. The bottom line question is really a question of priorities.

Yes, the priorities of one group get eclipsed by the next group, but it is complicated and entangled web where nations want autonomy but understand trade, travel, migration, and technology is shared in a global environment.

The danger of too much nationalism is isolationism, and too much globalism steals the autonomy of nations to chart their own path. The Globalist cabals and clubs look at it through the prism of control, but there is also the spirit of collaboration and synergies that comes from the people of our planet working together.

It’s not an easy topic to unravel or pass judgement on.

Excelsior, to say that it is a complicated and entangled web is the understatement of this Sunday!

😉

Very well thought out and sensible comment, Excelsior.

The important quest is to rise above labels, judgments of out-groups, and to shed in-group biases, in favor of the true freedom of individual liberties and the spark inside each one of us to blaze our own trail.

For this to happen we need less laws, not more of them, a smaller government, not a larger one, and adherence to negative rights outlining what governing bodies can not take away, and less of the focus on positive rights where one groups get some sort of special treatment, which only detracts from the natural equalizing forces of the invisible hand.

Makes sense, Excelsior.

Shad,

I am becoming more of a strident Libertarian and you outlined my rational accurately in your comment. You have to be aware that I am completely disgusted with the two major parties.

Big Al – I also lean more Libertarian with some appreciation of Anarcho-Capitalism but have learned from both Conservative and Liberal ideologies, as well as many of philosophies around of Buddhism or Existentialism centered around the responsibility and accountability of the individual’s thoughts and actions.

Agreed. I’ve never been a fan of the 2 party “2-headed snake” system.

Ultimately belief is an incredibly personal thing for each one of us, based on varying input and opinions and experiences, and trying to define the “right” or “true” way for everyone is generally an exercise in ignorance of all the possibilities truly available.

Ever Upward!

OK Excelsior…That comment is what I was not keying in on…Of course globalism is attractive to central power collectivists…That is it…Thank you Ex…..
