Jeff Sessions's name was voted out of committee to the full Senate 11 votes yes to 9 votes no. Final passage isn't expected till later tonight. Elizabeth Warren was ruled out of order by Mitch Mc Connell when he attacked Senator Jeff Sessions on Civil Rights. It’s the darndest thing I’ve ever heard. She quoted Coretta Scott King for complaining about an unjust prosecution of Blacks in a voting rights case in 1984. Sessions indicated an eagerness to prosecute Blacks in a case where they were eventually acquitted and then was up for a judge ship in 1986. She was reading a letter from Coretta Scott king that was entered into the congressional record in 1986. Apparently a congressman can attack anybody and everybody in committee hearings whether the charges are true or not. But you’re not allowed to say something that’s completely true in the hall. Jeff Sessions is in the process of getting the final approval vote for Attorney General and the way I figure it, the more power to everybody and anybody who uses all of the political power they poses to stop him. Stated another say, we now know that the U S Senate is on stated record as being a racist, bigoted body who denies the light of Truth from penetrating its chambers. If anybody had any doubts about whether Jeff Sessions was a racist, this ends those doubts.
Stephanie is still
clinging to the theory that Donald Trump won’t be president for much
longer. I think these liberals are just
getting desperate grabbing at straws. I’m
afraid something horrible is going to have to happen either with the economy or
in world affairs before people are “disabused” of the notion that Donald Trump
is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
It’s the same way the Germans and Japanese had to be “broken in spirit’
as a people being utterly defeated in war before they at last saw the light and
realized they’d been under the spell of dictators. If there is a way of somehow short circuiting
the process I don’t know what it is. Mao
Tse Tung said in his little red book, “Power flows from the barrel of a gun”. It’s still true.
Yemen's foreign
minister said Wednesday his government has asked for a "reassessment”
of a U.S. anti-terrorism raid last month that apparently caused the deaths
of several women and children, but he denied reports that the
government requested a suspension of American ground operations. “Yemen continues to cooperate with the United
States and continues to abide by all the agreements,” Abdul-Malik al-Mekhlafi
said, according to the Associated Press. He said the government “is involved in
talks with the U.S. administration on the latest raid.” His remarks followed news reports that
Yemen's government had demanded a halt to U.S. special operations. He said the
reports are “not true,” according to the AP. Yemen's government controls only part of the
country, which has been divided by civil war. A Saudi-led coalition is fighting
Houthi rebels, which are supported by Iran. The chaos has allowed al-Qaeda to
grow in strength.
Betsey De Vos was confirmed as Secretary of
Education. Two republican senators
defected but they needed three to defeat her.
Mike Pence broke the tie vote. I’ve been saying for days now that the
democrats can flap their gums all they want but Trump is getting his way and
all of the cabinet appointments as well as the Supreme Court justice, will be
approved almost without a hitch. The
democrats are out of political capital, pure and simple. And I’m
tempted to say the same thing about world leaders regarding Trump. They may initially complain about his
brashness or inexperience but in the end they will go along with him and make
deals with him.
There are three types
of hyperbolas. The first classic type is
the one in the formula for hyperbolic trig where there is a ninety degree angle
cocked at a 45 degree angle each way.
From this the calculations from hyperbolic trig are made. A plus sign is turned into a minus sign so
this type could be called a circle “turned inside out”. There is another type of hyperbola even more
basic, which is the one where a space craft overshoots a planet it’s supposed
to be orbiting and goes off on a tangent out somewhere away from the
planet. This one differs from the first
kind is that the angle needn’t be a ninety degree angle. It could be between anything and a hundred and
eighty. (or 179) This and the first kind of hyperbola have an
official “midpoint”, and in this orbital type it’s the closest the space craft
ever gets to the planet before it starts getting farther away. It gains speed till it hits the midpoint and
then slowly loses speed from that point on.
Both parts of this hyperbola are symmetrical. There is a third type of hyperbola and this
is a ninety degree hyperbola like the first type however it differs from both
the first and second kind in that there is no official “midpoint” of the
hyperbola. It’s all how it’s grafted. You may see a hyperbola on the national debt
or some other economic debt trend and see a hyperbola- - but twenty years ago
you could have drawn what looked like the same shape. So the “midpoint” of the hyperbola in this
type keeps shirting, because indeed the ‘midpoint” is a subjective experience and
in fact doesn’t really exist. There is
no “mid” point. One might say a
hyperbola is the opposite of a Venn diagram.
In that diagram what’s on the inside of the circle is what’s relevant,
or the data you’re showing. But with a
hyperbola it’s the information on the outside of a hyperbola that’s relevant. I just thought that was an interesting
fact.
