President Trump wants to
abolish congress like a Roman emperor or something assuming dictatorial
powers. President Trump says that is
congress refuses to approve the 5.6 billion dollar concrete wall that he’ll
declare a national emergency and have the Pentagon build it “very quickly” in
thirty foot high concrete. Millie told
me how she was reading “The Dead Zone” about a schoolteacher with psychic
preminitions about a chance to kill this dangerous dictator personality. Of course she also told me about the failed
plot to kill Hitler in July of 1944 and how if this plot had succeeded that ten
million lives would have been saved counting all of the battle deaths and the
deaths in the death camps. It makes you
think a little. Maybe there is a non
lethal way of getting Trump, which might involve kidnapping and imprisonment to
some remote island kind of in the Stephano Di Mira tradition. Maybe.
This is twenty till two
and the Bears and the Eagles are getting ready to play on NBC. The concencus is the Federation wants the
Bears to win. That way the Rams will
look better next week when they beat the Bears at home. Baltimore made a game of it toward the end
and scored two quick touchdowns making it 17 to 23. But then they gave up the ball with in a
fumble. For a long time the score was 12
to 3 Chargers. Baltimore had no offence
at all. Yesterday’s games both went the
Federation’s way. In a late addition, the Bears lost the game to
the Eagles played at Soldier field by one point 16 to 15. The Eagles missed an extra point in their
touchdown. The Bears marched down the
field the other way very quickly. It was
all set for a not too hard 43 yard field goal.
He made the first one but the Eagles called time out to “ice the kicker”
and then he tried again and this time he hit the left upright.
Sixty Minutes had this
scientist guy who has advanced skills in molecular chemistry and invented a new
kind of “real” sugar that’s a lot sweeter and it doesn’t cause tooth
decay. He’s also invented a kind of
plastic that initially is indistinguishable from regular plastic but it breaks
down in eleven weeks thus solving the gigantic waste problem that we have. He
has also perfected a new way of getting ethanol that you can either drink or
use in your car that is seventy percent less prone to cause global
warming. It’s seventy percent more
efficient to produce. Then they had this
Alsisi leader of Egypt who has been around five or six years or so and was put
into power by a popular uprising. The
majority of the Egyptian people are with him, very much unlike the Moslem
Brotherhood, who set about installing a dictatorship where others had no
say. This guy is not all good. He’s overbearing as far as his repressive
measures. But one must remember that the
Moslem Brotherhood was a sneaky, insidious and treacherous, who won all of
those elections in the so called “Arab Spring” that President Obama was
suckered by. But they mass in great
numbers with weapons and drastic action had to be taken against them for the
stability of society. The Moslem
Brotherhood has been feeding the West their own propaganda about how Alsisi is
nothing but despotic. That isn’t
entirely true. But it does make you
think about President Trump. I wouldn’t
want the repressive measures here that have been taken there. If President Trump began massively throwing
protestors in prison here there would be riots.
This Alsisi guy went further and tortured people while in prison and
there is absolutely no call for that.
Hopefully the guy would grant court trials after a while. But then again we’ve had people imprisoned in
Guantanamo bay, who haven’t gotten their day in court yet.
. I had Leo Laporte on. He listed this prediction of a guy twenty years
ago who predicted that by 2019 that computers would be talking to us and
conversations would be increasingly human and that we would be “having personal
relations with” our computers. Images
would be beamed right into our brains.
These prediction people always under-shoot the goals. Fifteen years ago is was January of 2004 and
Leo Laporte just came on the air on KFI in his same time-slot. The biggest difference between then and now
is that we had no I Phones and digital TV was still a pipe dream. We had standard definition DVD’s and even
that technology was less than ten years old.
I had had Word 2003 for only a few weeks and that program had vocal dictation
that didn’t work very well and they got rid of it. Judy says “You have to train your
computer”. Howard Dean was running for
president and he had an alternative to the Iraq War maybe we would like to hear
about except Howard Dean’s campaign self destructed. We had I-Pods then and this was the first
sign that CD’s as we know them may be going out of business. Each person could now posess a thousand songs
at once and every-body knew what an MP3 file was now. My drivers license from September of 2002
said 215 pounds and I had just switched to the Republican party caught up in
Bush mania. Then as now we lived in the
shadow of 9-11. Back in those days I was
still going to Green Harbor. I had
photographs of the current stars which were Lindsay Lohan, Britany Speers and
Jennifer Lopez.
. I caught the end of Joel Olsteen. He was talking about that architect guy who
was building a house for someone and at the end of it all he hands the key to
him and says “It’s your house to live in”.
The question is whether the guy had integrity or not when he build the
house. I received a new “The Week”
magazine at lunch today from Sarah. It
had Trump walling himself in with bricks.
The question arises of “What sort of a house is Trump building?” The seven virtues are
Integrety, Compassion, Faithfulness, Courage, Pursuit of Justice, Prudance, and
Dilligence. The seven vices are Wrathfulness,
Avarice, Lust, Sloth. Treachery,
Cowardess, and Squandering. One should
always keep these lists of seven and seven in mind when it comes to dealing
with God. And you’ll make Joel Olsteen
happy. Of course it’s my list and not his, but he
reminds us to keep virtue in mind in our daily activities.
