I have talked to many who have worked for Milwaukee's dominant news source on the side, and they have even expressed interest in my point of view.

A Governor Does Not Vote 10,000 times in one Election 08 29 2023
In our Democracy any one only gets one vote!
What would it mean if you asked a Governor to vote 10,000 times for you to be President in an Election?
It would mean you would be asking him to "somehow" or by some "concealed or secret fraudulent means" commit voter fraud.
"Governor can you vote 10,000 times for me?"
"No, I can not give you 10,000 votes. I can only cast one vote for President."
*****'
So you hear that blonde woman saying he did nothing wrong?
Most hard working and honest American People know that a billionaire who asks someone to vote 10,000 times for them is likely the source of any financial hardship or other problems they have?
And the Candidate who asked for 10,000 votes very well knew that one person can't vote for them 10,000 times. He was therefore indeed implying that Governor was to fabricate 10,000 votes.
Some people, a great many, can't get used to how our American Democracy is meant to work?
*****'
So what was the scheme? To say that those votes were really cast if they were cast? More gobbledygook?
Most Americans know....gobbledygook....
It sounds like I am explaining something to children? But that is not who we bear the burden of explaining this to.

Let's Talk Business 08 25 2023
I wonder how many businesses move because of bad employees?
What are the statistics of that?
Either because they couldn't hire good employees or they had bad employees working for them that ran down the impression of that business location?
So that is an interesting term, the impression of a business location?
And upon reopening at a new location they believe they will do better?
Perhaps they also determined their were better money demographics in terms of what would be local customers at the new location? Then if you look at that like it is a flow of water and drew a chart representing that. Where are businesses flowing to and then thriving? And then for how long?

And what happens when you treat a bad employee well? Does it reinforce the bad behavior? And then you ask yourself parenting should have taken care of that problem by the time they were an adult?
And then lets say we get in a War and your Commanding Officer is someone that got fired from every single job they ever had?
And what happens when you find yourself working for someone that doesn't respect American values?

Africa the White Grave Yard 08 25 2023
So I was doing some research on Quinine last night.
And I read that Africa was called the white graveyard because white people would go there and die of malaria.
Then I read how malaria was a parasite that originated or was "formed" in Gorillas. So here is where it gets interesting.
Quinine was from the bark of a tree in Peru, which is in South America. Are there Gorillas in South America? Well lets just say from looking at the following search link, not many. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=are+there+gorillas+in+south+america&atb=v324-1&ia=web
So that Gorilla parasite named malaria? Is that fair to say? That also can cause death from blood cancer.
So the FDA doesn't seem to want Quinine to be prescribed. It is stated that there are other better choices. Looks to be that there were ~23 deaths from it over a ~24 year period?
Now I must make a disclaimer to this article. This is all complete conjecture.
So if you administered Quinine to a gorilla would it kill the Gorilla? And is that why there are not many if any in South America where the plant that produces Quinine is native too? Does it make the gorilla sick and die? I don't know if it is possible to find research like that, even though when you read of the nature of this you would believe it would be the most highly relevant research to undertake with regard to one of the worlds most deadly parasite to human beings!
So if Africa was considered the white graveyard because of malaria. Was it as much a concern for the black people living there? The question being, do some black people there have a natural immunity to malaria? And if so what is that basis to that immunity?
So Quinine apparently doesn't affect every one in the same way? Kind of like how some people have a peanut allergy?
Perhaps it could be the panacea of treatment for certain human genotypes and not as good for certain other human genotypes?
******'
So in ancient Egypt you had a ceremonial monkey? Still don't know what it was used for? Then in England, the once greatest enemy of the United States? You had the druid society that worships the monkey. And it makes one wonder how that plays a part in ivy league secret societies?
******'
So Rh- blood shows not antibody to the Rhesus Monkey? Or something like that. Which makes me wonder if there is a contradiction to administering Quinine to Rh- blood type people?
******'
And don't you just love it when you read that Quinine was extremely effective at treating malaria, but that they don't really know the reason why? But they did provide two scientific hypotheses as to why. And I don't have time to get into that now.
But do you come to the conclusion, they don't know how it worked and yet they don't want it to be used?
******'
Now lets say that you have a big barrel chested man, either white or black or red. And perhaps he has a big lantern jaw too. Can those human traits be genetically identified in the DNA helix?
Okay before you start pointing the fickle finger at me, remember this is one of the most deadly parasites to human beings in world history.
How does someone of those traits respond to either malaria or quinine?
As if somehow by me asking questions I violating rights? It isn't like I am a good old boy cajoling a State Governor to fabricate 10,000 votes for President.

So basically I just shared my thinking about what I read? Kind of like when you watch a baseball game on television and there is a bench clearing brawl you might want to talk about that at the dinner table? Isn't that interesting? To encourage your children to play a game for a living whereby there is accepted violence associated with it? And then we wonder why other violence that we see on the television news has occurred?
I think that every alcoholic has at least two delusions 08 25 2023
I will define a delusion as being a self lie for the purpose of this article.
So I believe they one of the following two delusions:
1A. That they are not as good as they really are. We will call that a negative self lie. And this could mean that they believe that their work, potential or self worth really isn't as good as it is.
1B. That they are a lot better than they really are. A lot smarter than they are. A lot more responsible than they really are (and this is the one that destroys that type.) One would believe this delusion to be more prominent in those born into wealthy families? And that there is also a greater likelyhood those born into families of alcoholic will have delayed mental development. Hence alcohol serving to bolster this delusion or rather inhibit that emotion.
And if you think of the Chrisitian Church serving alcohol at mass and calling it communion? It means it is a sense of common? I mean lets not try and define the word to be less than what it means? Common. So can you see how serving alcohol benefits B to the detriment of A?
2.The second delusion would be that: Alcohol helps your problems.
In the case of 2 applied to think about 1A. Alcohol really just retards your potential. One could say it legitimizes the non recognition of your potential
In the case of 2 applied to 1B. That problem is not really going to go away. It is likely genetic damage the person was born with and permanent. And here part of the delusion is that if you can inhibit the negative emotion that you really don't have the underlying problem concerning it? And could that be called a false leader? Why? Because that isn't how a leader deals with problems.
So in summary the two delusions being one of A or B and then number 2.

The Republican Double Cross 08 22 2023
Did you ever notice how seemingly not a single Republican is ever angry because they were Double Crossed by Donald Trump?
He doesn't have to go to any debate! Why? Because the competition is completely apathetic!
In Wisconsin some Republicans have even gone to jail just for other Republican leaders. And you never really seem them being interviewed by the media and being mad as hell about it. So, you know, if they are involved in election fraud and it can be proven; send them to jail! They don't seem to mind about the double cross. Don't really seem to care that they are involved in criminal behavior! And most importantly, really don't consider the negative impact it will have on their family, children, if they are sent to jail. So, send them to jail upon conviction.
What is that indicative of? That pawn structure? Either a Confederacy or organized crime? Don't deny the truth about that.
So what is the gestalt of that? "If we all wear the clown suit we will be fine? No one will notice that we are all really clowns? That without makeup we all really look like clowns? We all make mistakes just like clowns do! And what a show it creates for our nation. Ask us an important question about your future and all we have to do is just give you that sad crying clown face in response."
It means that there is something that is publicly unknown they are fighting for? Some deception? Something they consider to be more important than their own families?

Attention, Attention, Public Service Announcement 08 20 2023
Be wary of the self checkout machines at the big box stores. Specifically the one that starts with a vowel like an inverted M.
The other day I went to the self checkout and bought a few items. Some energy drinks, two pairs of extremely nice shorts for $3 each! Unbelievable! Three cans of black olives. One big bottle of cola. Perhaps 10 or 15 items.
I thought that there was absolutely no reason at all to check the receipt because I did it myself.
When I got home these items were on my receipt that I didn't purchase. I only had three small bags of goods, to give you some idea.
Two 5 Pound Jars of Honey for $15.88 a piece.
One small water for about a $1.50.
One small bag of ice for perhaps $2.00.
The only thing that I can think of is this. I scanned the items and placed them on the shelf to the right. But I had trouble opening the mouths of those gray plastic bags and are arrayed together. So I didn't put the items in the bags as the bags where on the shelf.
Then I got one bag open and placed some of the items in it, and lifted it up and down to make sure it wasn't going to break from too much weight. Setting it back on the shelf on the right, because I thought if I took it off that shelf it might give me an error message saying please put the items on the shelf.
The only thing that I can think of is this. That checkout machine weighed those bags, went into its database, using that weight as a unit of comparison, found something that weighed that much, and bingo, added it to my bill!
Other than that, the man who checked out before me left something on the screen of the machine. And I called the clerk over to clear that out before I started checking out. And she did.
I suppose this measure is meant to counteract theft? Charge you for the weight of something that it thinks you have?
But you know as I was walking from east to west in the store I watched as the biggest black man in the store who was at the end of a line of seven, walked around all of those people and went straight to a green lit open bagging station. I suppose if you can't stop that from happening then you can't stop the theft from happening either and hence the measure of charging you for something you didn't buy?
So I mean look at what this all adds up to? Not a really good commentary is it.
But I sure did get a deal on those shorts!
And as soon as I read the receipt when I got home, (I just want to get out of that place quickly and make sure I don't have an accident in the parking lot or bump into someone who is walking lazily. (oh Christ, what a true term, walking lazily. Or get asked for five dollars.))
... But when I got home I called them. They said to bring the receipt back and ask for a manager. I did and got the money back to my credit card.
So twenty pounds of honey, one pint of water and a bag of small ice? What kind of a party would that be, I imagine as if someone actually had purchased those items?

A sense of competition outweighing Constitutional Rights?
In other words propagandizing that in order to be competitive you have to lessen Constitutional Rights?
It's a lie isn't it!
To me competition has always implied fair competition. Unfair Competition is like an oxy moron?
Are you really competing if you are not competing fairy? No, you are cheating.
Now here is a concept that they taught us in Catholic School that is highly relevant.
They said you are really hurting yourself if you cheat! And that it will affect you later in life! And I can see quite clearly the dramatic negative effect it has had, later in life, on the people who cheated!
And I really don't like to hear that concept propagandized by Republicans or others; in order to be competitive we need to do "this or that."
You are really cheating yourself when you cheat.

I am mad as h3ll at 08 17 2023
Miniature sized spare tires!
I am so mad right now that I would outlaw them entirely! Must have a full sized spare tire instead.
Try putting a tire and rim together for your car to use as a full sized spare? And you will go batty nuts! Try finding an 18x 8" Steel rim with the exact lug nut pattern you need. Try fitting that where the old spare went.
And doesn't that just cause more accidents?
Driving to a tire repair place on a spare tire you really aren't supposed to be driving on? Can't drive more than 50mph with it? I mean why? Why did they do this!
And repair shops perhaps hire a tire mechanic to come in once a week? Stack the tires up and pay that person to come in once a week?
Or better yet. How many people don't have the skill to do something simple like that because they are an alcohol and or drug user?
Gee, I have a flat, I have a tiny spare, I am hundreds of miles from home, "How am I going to get home?" I am going to have to wait and have it repaired? I am going to have to rent a room at a hotel? I am going to go in debt because of this god damned problem! God dammit!

Places a President of the United States wouldn't go to 08 17 2023
Are there places in the United States that a President wouldn't go to?
For example a street in California where there is a homeless camp or drug users are sprawled out?
Have you ever seen a President of the United States go to a place like that?
And what would you say to those people if you went there and you were President of the United States? "I am President of the United States, I know this is wrong, I care and I am going to do something so that you have a better life?"
When Franklin D. Roosevelt was President he took alcohol out in his car and gave it to rural Americans? I wonder how many of them had their lives ruined by alcohol? Would FDR go to homeless campsites or drug user streets? Do you see the dichotomy?
And why don't they go their?
Because perhaps those peoples lives were Capitalized for money. Whereby if you do something about their condition or attempt to you are shutting down a source of profit for someone else? And if that isn't the exact element isn't the gestalt an element of that? Or isn't there some hidden element of that we don't see?
Sure you can walk through the streets and when you see a beggar think to yourself, "There for the grace of God go I?" But what does that really mean? Somehow that person offended God and you didn't as much? Why didn't that person deserve the grace of God and you did? Perhaps that has to do with genetics and the ability to learn? And having learned you cause less conflict and violence, and hence you receive the grace of God? Perhaps God saw that persons behavior in life and he is putting them in that position as a test?
The point being in that last paragraph is that as President you are responsible for those people. You can't make assumptions like above that allow you to shirk that responsibility or brush away the concern.
What does it take to bring someone like that back? So as part of doing that you have to understand how they got there. And create the conditions precedent for everyone that no one ends up like that?
So how do you be responsible? How do you prevent yourself from saying that is somebody elses problem? Perhaps you have to view life as if you are fighting for a younger version of yourself? Perhaps you see all the traps that there are in life, the temptations, and you don't want a younger version of yourself, you don't want their life to be distracted by any of that?
So Jesus Christ he walked through the leaper colony. That is much like a drug user living on the street today? Why wasn't he afraid of getting sick? He had human form, because if he didn't he would not have suffered and died on the cross. Perhaps he viewed illness as demonic possession by evil, and hence that is why he had no fear. And if you look that up it is true isn't it! Doesn't matter what the sickness is, just presume it is caused by the presence of evil that isn't natural to that person? Seems like I am writing an entire new article, how to be a faith healer? :)
In order to cast a demon out you have to recognize the presence of demons first? You can't rule that idea out, you can't be one who propagandizes that believing something like that is a criteria for diagnosis of mental illness.
Back on topic here. If there is a high crime neighborhood there is more risk than reward for a President to visit it. But wouldn't a good President view their presidency as the ultimate opportunity to improve neighborhoods. And I don't necessarily believe it happens by pumping money into such neighborhoods. I think, more or less it has to do with the attitude of the residents? Do you want to keep the street in front of your house clean? Or are you afraid to go out of your front door?
How to make bad neighborhoods good? I think strong justice has something to do with it. And there is a construct (was in the movie Grand Torino) whereby the lessers of a community don't want those who are able to, to rise about the badness of that community. And right there I ask the question. "Who is the adult leader of the lessers?" Can I tell you that I have met many people like that. I know how they talk, I know what they sound like. I know their fear of upward mobility. It will surface rather quickly. And who has fear of upward mobility? Those who didn't really deserve to be at the level "upper" that they are at. They want a system of favors. They want a system of control whereby they don't ever have to worry about losing the position of king pin. Can you feel the sickness that is represented by that?
Well I will stop right there. Ran out of stuff to say in this diatribe. But why did I view it as my responsibility to write it? Because it is a true thought to me. Because I have never seen other people write things like this. Perhaps I think it helps lend understanding. And indeed perhaps I want to help versions of myself younger than myself not get entrapped by the above?
Now here is an interesting philosophical question that arises. Off topic. But who is it that walks away from ideas? There but for the grace of God go I.

A Doctor with the mind of a prostitute thereby motivated to made decisions about other people's bodies.
Being motivated to do so because a Prostitute does not control decisions with regard to her own body; those are made by the pimp and the John?
In other words, she isn't a Prostitute, but she has that same motivation as a prostitute pimp or John?
When in reality it is something she should never be thinking about because of how she thinks about it.
In other words her, "What's best" for the patient, is a falsely realized motivation? A lie that she readily translates into a working belief system? Her making decisions regarding the bodies of other has a veiled or latent element of hatred in it?
And indeed the mind/body relationship is real.
Perhaps she even falsely believes that if she can control other peoples minds her body somehow benefits? And here we are getting into, why the bad are bad. And that would be another article.
To give yourself a sense of mind and or body by controlling the minds and or bodies of other people?

On Immigration 08 15 2023
Immigration, I think that there is the opportunity for "Filtering"
When we formed this country and the rules that allow open immigration did we have:
1. Social Security? (~1930's right?)
2. The Corporate Legal Structure? (~1950's right?)
I am going to say no, without looking it up.
The problem with diversity from immigration is that it skews the truth?
It makes it seem like some problems we have today are universal to humanity? And that is being used as a propagandized legal justification to take away and infringe upon your Constitutional Rights!
I mean are there races that are more prone to not respect their own and therefore others rights? (Ooops, a big big no no I just made there. That is a genetic predisposition comment, and whether you know it or not that is a big no no in this country.)
Are there unique learning problems that certain races have?
Are there unique drug addictions that some races have? If there is the gene for alcoholism what other drugs are their genes for?
Are there some races that have "religious needs" that violate Constitutional Rights? Sounds like a back door or unwanted loop hole open to organized crime doesn't it?
Is there a "horror gene" present in members of organized crime? Horrific crimes against humanity committed to threaten family members of the innocent? Decapitating people who stand up for what is right in order to make the law abiding fearful?
Or how about ~10,000 children sexually molested by the Catholic Church? Oprah once interviewed a Sexual Molester of children who stated he saw the entire life of the person he sexually molested flash before him. People living off human trauma like that? I would assert that's not really one of us.
What would the founding fathers do if someone with their mules saddlebags packed with fentanyl were bringing it into our nation? They wouldn't be stuck in the spaghetti haywire of Ivy League academia based Judicial Process? When the Constitution asserts a speedy trial how come our Judicial System, our balancing scales of justice, doesn't view that as a benefit to the victim?
Immigration wasn't meant to be a tool to allow the rich to get richer! It was meant to allow the normal, good and hard working to enjoy freedom! Those who want to invest in their own lives through personal learning!
Not a prima donna ogre makes the millions professional sports structure.
And what is consistent with organized crime? The belief in criminally controlled domains and territories? To the point of, "This is our neighborhood, white people are not allowed here?" Yeah it is true, I saw that sign once! So don't try and legally condemn me for that comment or any other I make here.
Now ask yourself, who fears the free and the good and to the point that they cherish the idea of neighborhoods being criminally controlled domains and territories. It is consistent with the Republican mindset of divide and conquer? Let the States or individual territories make laws that violate the Supreme umbrella laws of the Constitution. And when you see a Governor attempt this do you ask yourself, "What are they attempting to snake out of?" What skin of the free are they trying to shed; as if it is a burden to them?
That Standard of Constitutional Rights implies a Standard of Person! Oh, God, a Republican or straw sucking Democrat couldn't figure out what that means. And because they can't figure out what simple things like that mean they want to label the people who said them as being mentally ill?
So they tinkered with the Constitution and made it like a Rubics Cube? Denying that any changes that they made are detrimental or involve other parts of the Constitution? For example legalization of alcohol? An entire "front" went up everywhere with that. I mean, for the good of what? The person with the alcoholic gene? Alcoholism being a disease. Change the Constitution to bolster the rights of those who have a disease? In effect making our nation diseased in the process? Kind of flea like isn't it?
Oh look turn on the television, what legal flea logic will round narrow eyed blondie be spouting today?
And we are not really hearing why cases against him are failing or charges are being dropped? We are not hearing the, "Here is the exact reason he was found not guilty?" And all you have to do is listen to how he Un relentlessly complains about everyone and everything to know why he is winning? And the Confederate structure of (signing to be a conformist or something like that, I forgot what the exact term is, but it amounts to an oath of facism) he threatens members of his party with.
Oh Christ pull that one out and look at the Gestalt of it, "You signed an oathe of Facism to the Republican Party? Where are my 10,000 votes I ask-ed you fur?"
© 2023 Thomas Paul Murphy
10,000 it is symbolic of a money number too, isn't it!
Which brings me to the next question, how many people in our nation can be bribed to do about anything with just $10,000.oo dollars? It is like that phrasing has been spoken a lot lot before?
Yeah, I can read him pretty good and I don't like him.
Culpability in Secrets 08 15 2023
Sure the Constitution grants you the right to Practice Religion.
But does it grant you the right to Practice Secret Religions?
Why does it need to be a secret? Because it is a matter or religious security? Why?
And what happens when that need to protect religious security transitions to that religion operating as a graft on our Government?
What am I getting at? It seems like everything in the news, the really really important Judicial System prosecutions throw in the card of, it is a matter of National Security that that public doesn't know something.
And what does the scope of that amount to? An unconstitutional form of Government that operates under the diametrically opposed system of Divine Right; as a Confederacy.
So what I am getting at? There is guilt in the secrets?
Which means that there isn't something that is legal in the secret!
In other words it violates Constitutional rights! That secret violates constitutional rights? And that pans out to amount to organized crime.
So on the Oprah show once she interviewed a sexual molester of children. And what he said was that he saw the entire life of a person flash right before him when he sexually molested them.
So what happens when two people like that get together or a group of people like that is formed? To see the entire lives of other people, the proud, brave, hopeful and faithful american citizens...their lives pass before them?
*****'
A little bit off topic. But let's say that someone like that is drawn to homosexuality or acts of homosexuality because they find it consistent with that what they consider to be a "reward" behavior?
Engaging in that behavior in the hopes of being "refreshed" as they see the future lives of other people pass before them? To the point of what? (Diminishing returns to less than zero?) To the point of what? They are unable to see any good futures in anyone's lives that they steal anymore? And hence dare I say that the gestalt of that which forms in my mind is like snakes in a pit? And then lets throw in the Bible analogy? They were so depraved by being homosexuals that they wanted to break down Lot's door to rape his son?
*****'
So lets say you declare yourself a Christian but are also a Free Mason? Is it a religion? I would define a religion to be a spiritual belief, so yes it is.
And the Free Masons are said to love children. But to the point of what? To the point of loving and worshipping that which will be limited to having the mind of a child for its entire life? Do you see what I just said? To the point of worshipping that which is limited to having the mind of a child as an adult? It sure explains the justification for Pro Life? It doesn't matter if that child put up for adoption had an alcoholic mother and has Down's Syndrome? We have a way that allows them to see what the future life of a normal person would be?
If it is a Secret Religion, is it really a religion? I would declare the answer to that as being a firm and resounding no.
So look at that balance of that scale of justice. It is only a religion if it isn't a secret because if it is a secret it means that someone's Constitutional Rights are being violated by it and you don't want anyone to know that! Because the firm hand of the Founding Fathers says you wouldn't be here!

Military Technology 08 13 2023
There out to be a way that a Magazine can be converted into a hand grenade?
And I don't really mean converted, I mean readily and immediately used as either if needed.
I could give you a lot of ideas how it could be designed and manufactured for the United States Military; but it might be illegal in some way?
But I ought to be able to discuss Military Technology in General Terms?

Diameter of Counterclockwise Rotating Storms 08 11 2023
I think that should be a statistic generated by the National Weather Services. Perhaps it is already.
But it is something we should be tracking. In an undeniable era of global warming it is something we should be tracking.
The diameter of the storm in relation to the potential energy of it?
The frequency of such diameter storms per year as compared to historical records?
A weather term I have heard recently a few times on the news is "A new weather pattern?"
And how is the diameter of a storm calculated? When it really isn't a perfect circle but more of a vortex with a tail? There out to be a computer model that can accurately calculate that. So how does that mathematical description model work? The relation of the center core of a circle to the tail of the storm?
And perhaps this is indeed an area that new algorithms need to be created in?
And indeed one wonders how Canadian wildfire smoke impacts a storm? Does it cause more precipitation, because the atmosphere is heavier with smoke therefore droplets form that are heavier, quicker? If that would be a way to describe it.
And let's look at this another way? Follow me on this. Can we attribute hotter weather, from global warming, as being a participant cause of the Canadian wildfires? Hotter weather causing drying vegetation that goes up in smoke easier? And good God look at Hawaii. And I am not trying to be paranoid here. But I just got a notion of fear right there. The trend of global warming to cause wildfires? Something those who deny absolutely everything would never allow you to start to think about? And look at the reality of that flushed out statement. Something those who deny absolutely everything would never allow you to start to think about? It is empirical evidence of the presence of absolutely terrible leadership! That factor, something those who deny absolutely everything, shouldn't seem to be prevalent in modern human civilization?
It is like, throw your hat on the floor and yell, "Look at what you got us into you dam fools!"
So why would we want to know? Why wouldn't we want to know how strong a storm is?
And perhaps I have not been paying attention. I really don't watch a lot of television.
And is this how it is going to progress? Dry land, rain storms and floods like you have never seen before because of the dry land? The water just rolls on top of the heat dry land. So I don't know if it is true or not, that wildfire smoke causes more rain. But if it were what a terrible cycle that would be! And then what does the flooding do to the electricity? Etc, etc, and round and round the storms go?
And God said in the Bible he would never flood us again? But God didn't do this did he! God didn't create the global warming. Nor was God one of the ones who lied about it? See what I mean? If man created global warming through pollution that isn't God that is man?
So let's say there is an error present in that. It is man not truly obeying the principles of God so that these conditions precedent are created? And to sum it up, denying a moral responsibility for actions? Grandstanding and parading in deceit in order to get the highest number of Republican votes?
If it is something you know your general constituents are not capable of understanding then deny it is a problem; whether or not you are truly capable of understanding it or not?
So here is another concept. To know when you don't know something. We have all heard that one. But how about this one, To not know that you should not have been a leader? So to attempt to rephrase it quicker in consistency with the first form, To know when you don't know ... You led because you knew you could lead and not because... so I am flushing out a difference between manipulation and leadership? A leader doesn't need to dismiss rationality or rational inquiry?
That's all, kind of sketchy, but so what.

Hydroplaning Boat Turbines 8 11 2023
More on this later, perhaps. But it is an idea that addresses charging the accessory batteries of a boat when having an alternator outboard only recharging a starter battery solely attached to it.
Could such turbines be configured so that to he hydroplane the boat and therefore make it more efficient while at the same time generating accessory battery charging?

Caffeine on Labels 8 12 2023
So they list all the ingredients, the amount of carbs and sodium, the amount of fat.
Why? So that you can balance or monitor your intake of them, as it could affect your health?
But when you add a drug like caffeine, which can in high amounts negatively affect your heart, they don't have to list how much?
I mean let's ignore the intent of initial laws completely when faced with new, provable and relevant factors?
I mean what is the accurate terminology to describe that concept? Is it "idiot head."
Never considered why it was initially relevant and important as you go about your days being paid at the FDA?
And what is plausible deniability of personal responsibility?
And how long has it been so once we scientifically figured out cigarettes cause cancer and alcohol causes Downs Syndrome?
I mean what do you do at your job, pretend you didn't read the very important things?
How to you call yourself an adult? How do you believe yourself to be a man equivalent? And perhaps that is key? What adult male does such and such person believe themselves to be a man equivalent of? I mean step back and think about it. Do you get the unnecessary feelings of ughh, ilk and cold sickness?
Could be the lyrics to a song, "Ugh, ilk and cold sickness."
Or perhaps the person granted responsibility has some line in a manual they point their pointy finger at and say, "It says right here that isn't part of this."
I mean how convenient. How convenient of you to create and modify contrived convenience.
And what is the creation of that in .gov if not an element of a Confederacy?
"Here is my complete list of contrived convenience legal defences, now I am going to a liquid lunch. Get a job."
Do you find this hard to understand or do you find it to be the articulation of a problem that to needs to be fixed?
When someone sheds light on a problem do you experience ugh, ilk and cold sickness or a relief of ugh ilk and cold sickness. I am the latter, I couldn't be the former.
If it could croak your heart the mg as mount should be on the label?
Can I tell you the sick list of criteria they use to develop novel chemicals?

Name of the "Johns" in the Epstein Maxwell Case 08 11 2023
So if they won't tell us the names because it is a matter of national security, what does that mean?
Does it mean that so many prominent people in our United States Government used their underage prostitutes for sex that if they were all prosecuted there would be no one crooked left in Government; and somehow that is a matter of national security?
Again, if it is sure to convict a prominent member of United States Government then it is precluded from prosecution because it is a matter of national security?
If they are elected...the above really implies that they aren't elected? Because that is a state of unfairness that they are allowed to participate in? Or perhaps one asks the question, what are they elected to; if it is a matter of national security that their crimes are forbidden from being known by the public?
Let me try and flush this out some more.
If they were ostensibly elected in fairness then their criminal or even questionable actions would not be shielded from the public and prosecution as a matter of national security.
And this is all hypothetical. But when you see all the people E was buddy buddy with, how can you not come to the above conclusion? You would have to be farm field haystack naïve not too?

Potato Casserole: Updated to include detail orientated recipe 8 8 2023
Green pepper and bacon in there.
Ingredients list:
4 Idaho potatoes
1 green pepper
Half a bacon packet
2 slices smoke flavored provolone
1/4 cup 4 mex shred cheese
French fry seasoning
Red jar seasoning
1 T butter
2 Pinch of salt
1/2 cup yoghurt
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
Instructions:
Put a saucepan half full of water on the stove, add a pinch of salt and turn the heat on.
Concurrently get a large frying pan and cut the bacon into 2 inch strips and start cooking it on medium. Turn when time to. When done drain on paper towels.
Peel the four potatoes and slice them into a little less than quarter inch slices and add to the boiling water.
Get a casserole dish out and put about 1/2 cup of the plain yoghurt in the bottom of it. Add some of the seasoning salt and stir it.
Cut a green pepper up into about half inch chunks.
Turn on oven to preheat oven to 420 degrees.
Rough directions.
The potatoes are done when you stick a fork down in there and they fall off easy. But you don't want them too done so that they mash up. Take a straining spoon and add them to the casserole dish. Do not throughout that boiling water, you aren't done on that burner yet. Cut the cooked bacon up smaller with scissors and add the bacon to the casserole dish and stir. Add the cheeses to casserole dish and lightly stir. Add the green pepper and lightly stir. Or just add all the stuff and lightly stir once.
Leave about one inch of potato water in the pot and add about a quarter cup of whole wheat flour to it. Add some butter and a pinch of salt. Boil the heck out of this fast and stir it all the time. Then pour it in the casserole dish. Everything should be in the casserole dish now.
How do you lightly stir something like this? The goal is that when you have a spoon on your plate you get a bite of everything in that spoon of it? So you just lightly stir it a few times and don't think about it too much. If you are mashing the potatoes in there you are not doing this recipe right.
Put it in the oven for 20 minutes. Purpose to set the ingredients together. That is about how long it will take it to start to bubble/boil and that is when I pulled it out.
Tasted really good.
The great thing about this recipe is that you are not hemming and hawing and wondering if the potatoes are cooked. They were cooked when you put them in the oven. And this recipe seems to go faster to completion. And with this recipe there is none of that, oh is my internal temperature at 168 degrees or not. You can leave that infra red thermometer alone with this one.
And if you have some experience at the kitchen stove you should be able to get this recipe right. Just play fast and loose with the ingredients like I did. Didn't have one measuring cup out.

Again, come to this blog to read the most terrible stuff ever!
So I guess we are done with the Putin is really one of us Propaganda? 08 07 2023
"Look there is Putin catching Northern Pike! He is really one of us!"
"Look there is Putin wearing a cowboy hat and riding a horse, he is really one of us Americans!"
"Look there is Putin watching the Olympics, he is really one of us!"
Wait a minute. Freeze Frame!!!
"There is Putin bombing a hospital in the Ukraine!"
"There is Putin bombing a children's school in the Ukraine!"
"There is Putin obliterating apartment buildings and dwellings in the Ukraine."
"There is Putin poisoning political opponents with the product of Russian Chemistry!"
So Hillary (two L's Hillary) and Trump couldn't seem to be the one who could say better things about Putin?
Even though he vowed that the United States would be drawed and quartered? I suppose that is just like how every word that comes out of Trumps mouth turns out to be something he didn't really mean in the way that he said it either? Putin has made a lot of threats to the U.S. over his political time in the spotlight. Which brings me to the next point, what has Kim Jun Ill said about us? Oh we better run over there and try and make friends with him seeing as he starves his own people and is constantly threatening to launch a nuclear missile at us if he ever gets that capability?
Americans don't need to live in fear of foreigners like that! We don't need that playing into decisions to sell stocks?
So if Hillary was wrong about Putin was she also wrong about Kadafi?
So you want to say in your defense, Tom these people are all fed by the pockets of the wealthy, that way nothing bad will happen, get used to it, it is a secret rigged economy.. Well let's say that in some form that is true. Guess what, I don't like it! I don't want to be the one attempting to climb the ladder of success in a rigged economy like that. Why? Very unsafe thing for an upwardly mobile person to do?
Kind of reminds me of that Korean War television show that dragged on forever? And then with the military officer in it finally got to retire his helicopter was blown up? What am I getting at? A carrot with a stick? Like somehow the Charlatans took over our Democracy? Graduate from college only to find you are chasing a carrot on a stick?
So if Putin really isn't like us, then what is he like? What can he be said to be like? Illegitimate and bad?
Oh one world Government, one world Government, its the future, the true huggers and Gender what's proclaim? Stand back and look what is in the way of that being a fair scenario!
And maybe the point here, is that what I consider to be a fair scenario you consider to be a standard that you can't attain or maintain?
So I ask the question are Russian Americans of the same mindset at Putin? Someone say's something bad and true about him and the answer is to torture them to death or poison them? Figure out a way to "Shut them up?"
I mean you would want a one world government without ridding that which doesn't belong in fair competition. I mean what does that really mean? A one world Government comprised of those of the above ilk? It really means that you hate, I mean absolutely loathe, the Constitutional Democratic Structure of the United States!!!
I know, you really didn't lose that election! You really won it! And those false electors were only going to submit those false votes if???? I mean good God, and you can't figure out how they could be prosecuted for a notion like that? Act dumb so you can't be prosecuted? Act dumb so that nobody really believes your guilty of something? Or rather the You can't see me child defense? Whereby if I act like I never did anything wrong your punch drunk head should be conditioned to believe it? Because if you don't follow suit, you know for some reason you will feel heat?
So what does that mean? You married a woman who gets extremely temperamental when she can't presume to make up all the rules of a country? She gets extremely temperamental when she has to view other people as actually having constitutional rights? I mean where does the heat come from whereby you have to follow like you have the plague and are waiting for a handout?
What heat are you afraid of? And perhaps it has to do with the kind of heat that is represented by organized crime initiation? Whereby the say to the would be pawn, "If you ever decide to not be one of us may your soul burn like one of the Saints?"
Why should a Saints soul burn? Who is it among us that would burn the soul of saint? What heat is it that would direct its anger at the mind of a man? Perhaps the Statue of the Spaghetti Monster in Madison say's it all? Ever meat someone who acts like they are always saddle sore? Like they have no idea what it means to just enjoy the common daily beautiful moments of life? And what do people like that attempt to sell you? Sizzle right! The sizzle from the heat? The heat from the illegitimate experience of life?
Well that turned out to be a diatribe! Not too bad of one either. Yeah, I don't give hoot if you don't like it! I don't give a hoot if you want to say that somehow I am weak for writing stuff like this. I don't give a hoot. I know what I am fighting for. And you have no commonality with it? You have commonality with the bottle! The bottle that burns human genes to shreds in the womb! What was the drinking phrase in college? "Drink up pussy!" ....I know it only fosters sickness.

Communism in a Nutshell 08 07 2023

And bribe absolutely everyone over here to change our laws to edit out our Constitutional Rights!
Also participate in creating industries that do not hire fairly in equal opportunity for the educated. In other words, make all the good paying jobs seem like they are unattainable for false, if not colluded bad religious, concepts? And fight like tooth and nail to do that!
If I just made the comment for discussion such as, "Those who can't live fairly in civilization can be thought of in some way not to be human?" I would probably get in trouble for that?

Alcohol and Death 8 5 2023
So I read an article about Wisconsin and Alcohol Deaths, and that got me thinking.
How come a felon gets out of prison and can't own a gun but a Convicted Drunk Driver can still be able to have alcohol if released? And it might not be factually true, I didn't look it up.
And let's say you have a drinker convicted of any criminal behavior, how come it doesn't seem to be recognized that alcohol played a large part of that criminal behavior?
So how come they readily whittle away at your right to own a gun but not your right to have alcohol? It is as if to our touch that right to alcohol and you hit a nerve? And how come it isn't recognized that that's a nerve? What don't they want exposed? They will act like you didn't hit a nerve when you hit a major one?
Do certain genotypes function differently with alcohol? Are some genotypes greatly dependent on it?
So I would assert this. A drug user states they use drugs to join up with a higher consciousness? How does it work? Negate their own thoughts and prey to think like someone else when you use drugs?
Drunken driving? Impaired? More or less doesn't the drunk become some kind of 10,000 bc retard? It is addictive, it is legal, and you have to drink more and more to achieve the in initial affect? One drink leads to another. I mean here it is, it impairs you from knowing when to stop.
I don't see how there is a valid argument that says someone should have known when to see, we hen it impairs you from knowing when to stop. So right there we have a little bit of niavity being so legally imposed on us? An untrue believe being considered legally true? I mean it doesn't solve the problem. So you expect a person to be able to experiment with alcohol enough to know their limitations? Isn't that a bit of niavity too?
Full disclosure, I haven't had a drink in perhaps 20 years. I don't remember times I had drinking as being fun. I don't think about them and hence don't really remember them. To me it is an illegitimate life experience illegitimate memories, a detraction from the experience of life, a drug of sickness, a drug of depressed state. I can't stand alcohol. And I can tell when someone thinks like an alcoholic or all the relevant facts in making decisions do not come to play in their minds and it really isn't a rewarding experience trying to figure out why they are wrong. It is like trying to figure what cards are missing from a suit side down deck? I just broad brush attribute it to mental retardation without analysing the lack of intelligence further than that? I am not here on earth to try and figure out why a mentally retarded person couldn't figure something out? That cruel and unusual burden should not be placed on any member of the human race.
Now ask yourself this, who would be okay with all of the above if they could profit from it? In other words, "Nothing like to hst bothers me because I am making a lot of money from it?" Isn't that the exact attitude of alcoholic? Do just stop right there and think about the meaning of that. And you likely won't get that right either.

The United States Economy 08 04 2023
I believe that nothing could be better for the United States Economy than if Donald Trump is convicted and put in jail!
So if the high on the Dow Jones Average was 36,952 and we are at 35,409 now, I think we could surpass that old high.
The market is look like it is starting to anticipate something good like that happening?
But why is it good, you ask?
Because it means corruption is being ferreted out of our democracy! And that makes investors more likely to want to invest here! It provides confidence to the public. And an event at that level of Government, being able to successfully prosecute him (if they are) would be an extreme point of confidence for the American public. Hopefully the start of more good things.

Off topic.
Hate crimes as they are now really seem to be a violation of your right to Freedom of Speech, to me.
I mean you would think that Prostitution or giving someone drugs would qualify as the worst hate crime imaginable? Isn't that hateful to enslave a woman to have sex for money? Can't get much more hateful of the human race than that! Isn't that hateful to offer a substitute for a child for their personal achievement reward system in the form of drugs? Drugs that are likely going to delay their mental development? I think that is also extremely hateful!
If I were President how to you bring about a nation of good? And what example do you provide to other nations in creating a nation of good? Perhaps the wording is like this, "What you did was so unbelievably mean that you will be sentenced to the death penalty?"
And why is it always us who is afraid of the military might of foreign nations? Why can't it be more like this? "The way you that you treat your people is so unbelievably mean that if we get into a military conflict with you we are going to obliterate you in one fells swoop?
And I have to ask the question of why soldiers come back from war with post traumatic stress disorder? Is it because they identified with their enemy? Was it like killing their intellectually challenged brother that didn't go to school? Or was it because they saw the military ranks of authority they were placed in were comprised of that? Perhaps witnessed acts of violent homosexuality on their own side of the barbed wire?
****'
And to see how well Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein (convicted pimp to children?) identified with each other as they were talking about women at a night club, in that video, disturbing. Really disturbing. You can read and see all the Republican false righteousness you want and it starts to convince you and then you see that. And then you also see some strong minded democrats state unequivocally what Donald Trump is charged with and why. And you realize what it means to be an American again.

Steam Engine Outboard 08 01 2023 Updated
Lets say that you had a small boat and you wanted a secondary source of power. What ideas are there that weigh less than 20 lbs?
You could by a propeller on a shaft that attaches to a lithium ion drill? But you likely wont get vary far.
Which brings me to the idea of steam?
So lets say that the shaft and propeller above weigh 10 lbs. Could they be connected to a steam motor that weighs 10 lbs so that the total weight on the transom is only 20 lbs?
So your main source of power konked out and you still have gasoline. And there is an abundant supply of water you are floating on?
So you would have two infeeds to prime. The water to the boiler from the lake and the line to the gas tank?
In theory it should take very little gasoline to make the steam? And once it is started it would be extremely efficient? Some kind of material that retains the heat under the flame before the boiler might help it be more efficient? For example a ring of ceramics or some type of "stoneish" material? Captures the heat that would otherwise escape to the side?
The gearing could be such that it spins that shaft very fast on little power?
And what about computer controlled? The system should be made more so with mechanical controls or design that limit the need for computer control? Follow the lead here? Anything a computer would be tasked to control should be handled by the structured design? Different engineering principle?
So would it even need to be a constant flame? Or could an equilibrium be made so that it never really has to reach a really hot operating temperature? Follow the lead there? Energy is lost because it gets too hot and you don't want that? (And what if that idea where incorporated into an automotive engine? Why loose energy to heat? Why not design it so that you don't have to waste energy produced to cool it? In the case of the above, that is a safer system for a human to interact with.
So the steam drives a piston?
Would it really need to be that way?
Couldn't the steam drive a turbine? Again, a steam turbine would have less parts, and therefore be lighter.
Is there such a thing as a turbo type feature with a steam engine? I know the idea sounds impossible like it is a jarred stupid idea. But some way that air can enter such a turbine to make it run more efficient? Or perhaps cooler? How far does the steam have to travel past the turbine "area" before an air inlet can be designed? What if the rising hot air past the turbine could be recirculated? Or better yet the idea of stacked turbines? Whereby a turbine is placed above the main turbine to capture the heat?
But would such a system create a negative backpressure element to the main power? And if so could it be designed so that isn't true?
So in an era where you have electric cars with a battery that weighs 1700 whopping pounds! 1700 whopping pounds?
You just can't tell me that a steam engine powered car of the above configuration type parameters wouldn't be better than that?
I mean there has to be someone out there than can make a steam engine weigh less than 1700 pounds? I mean like a fraction of that?
*****'
So you don't hear those electric cars do you? I hope they don't try and make them noisy like the Biker Bikes are! I mean enough of that.
What happens there? The noisy bikes make the quiet bikes more dangerous to drive?
Who needs their children to hear the town drug dealer drive past their school on a motor that sounds like it fell out of WW1? "Oh, sweety, Pimp Daddy is here to pick you up from school? Say's he brought treats for your friends today. Everybody make sure to show some respect for PD today."

A good search term might be "Little known advances in Steam Engine Technology"
Pss. In theory if you cooled the motor with water that was then fed into the steam engine, somehow it would take less energy to come to steam than if it wasn't preheated by using it to cool? And therefore energy is saved?
