Software Operating Systems needed to keep up 04 05 2025

And perhaps I am old in terms of my knowledge of programs, and need to research the following ideas, be a use there already is a solution.

But there needs to be a way to "bank" two copy and paste items in a computer.

Instead of just control c and control v...

Is there a way already?

I will have to see.

With all the engineers out there you would think that there would have to be a common way in windows or on an android cell phone.

Idk.  May take me a while to find the answer.

It has to do with finding and presenting a solution with many different data sources and data points.

This looks like it.  Does it apply to android to?https://www.google.com/search?q=a+way+to+copy+and+paste+a+second+item&oq=a+way+to+copy+and+paste+a+second+item&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOdIBBzI0M2owajSoAgGwAgE&client=ms-android-motorola-rvo3&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8

Land of Opportunity $5 Million Entrance Fee 04 05 2025

If they have that much money already then what are they buying opportunity for?  The opportunity to do what here?

As a Christian I equate the rich with Satanism just as Jesus Christ did.  Let me spell it out, if the rich man isn't getting into heaven per Jesus Christ it means he is bad in Satanism.

But he can buy his way into here?

Ask yourself what standard that really is?  Or what is the gestalt "religion" represented by this?

Now a better question might be, whose opportunity is Trump selling?

What is Witchcraft 03 31 2025

 Is witchcraft studying the chemical properties of herbs so that you might add a little fennel root from the grocery store to your soup because you read it is good for the lungs?  No, that isn't witchcraft.

Is witchcraft steroid doping of athletes to make them seem superior or to give them a competitive advantage in the Olympics?  I would say absolutely yes that is witchcraft.

And when a Communist country dopes their athletes what are they attempting to prove?  They completely disprove Communism by doing that.  As if the best of the best are being picked for athletic events?  No.  They are trying to prove that there Government is something that it isn't and can never be, and I would assert that they are using witchcraft to do that.  Hence Communism degraded to Witchcraft in futility?

And then we get the athlete who doesn't have all the genes in the right place, and they dope here in the U.S. too, don't they?  So I would say that is witchcraft.  To go to the length of witchcraft in order to prove yourself better?  It only proves you worse, weaker and inferior.  And what is it sum certain of?  A delusion of self.

If I get time I will post a photo of my cup of pea soup that has perhaps a 1/4 cup of chopped fennel root in it.

Ps. And now I am going to get a little Republican like.  I would say that giving children drugs that change their sexual identity is witchcraft.  I would say that giving children what amounts to prescription amphetamines or narcotics is witchcraft.  I would say that a lawyer taking cocaine is witchcraft.  I would say that people who are killed with fentanyl/opiates are killed by witchcraft.  And if we end in war with a foreign nation that is pumping that into our country may Gods wrath be upon them.

Were the demons cast out of human beings by Jesus Christ put there by Witchcraft?  I would strongly assert yes they were!

What else?

IDK, my soup is getting cold.

I could talk about cancer causing alcohol and cigarettes?  Yeah, you dog gone tooting its witchcraft.

Is me adding a little ginger to my soup witchcraft?  No, get lost if you think it is you bum from the tracks ancestry.

Is a President threatening to put human beings who are tormented by demonic voices into institutions and drugged witchcraft?  You G/D right it is.

Sunday Preaching by Thomas Paul Murphy

 The Bible states that we are not to be proud.

And I am sure it was that same very nice and holy voice of God that told those concentrating on working that they are a stiff necked people.

But if we can't be proud, then what can we do?

We can, "Make note of accomplishments."

Just make mental note of accomplishments.

Otherwise the skill set of the human race is gone and lost and we live in tribulation tribalization.  Seems to be the goal of one political party and also perhaps a duality of their adversaries, it somehow being their goal too?

Make note of your accomplishments.

Did not Jesus Christ also say something similar to that?  To tittle, which means write whatever little bit you can?

Is not writing a note of accomplishment?  Not everyone can do it.  It used to be considered what defined the elite.

And what do ghost writers give us?  They give us the falsified elite.

Make note of your accomplishments.

To tittle is to take title?  Perhaps?  To tittle is to take title to your own human mind.

Steak Carrots Rice 03 29 2025 updated

Whoa I got to tell you.  I took a bag of carrots in a pot with just enough water to cover them plus a little more.  Pinch of salt.  Started a boil and then turned to lowest setting.  Drained the water later, when soft.  Then added a little brown sugar, maybe a pinch of allspice and...sesame seed oil.  Not much, couple t's or a T.  Trying to get away from butter.  But they were great.  But the residue of that, while I was cleaning the pot right now had a really unique candy flavor.  Very interesting.

The rice was 3 different types bought in one packet.  And that was really good to.

Pickup Truck Design 03 29 2025

 So you have a cab portion with a back window and the bed portion.

Why can't there be a hatch below the window to the back bed?

Whereby if you had a low cover on the bed portion you could fit a 10 foot pole in there?  And it would be secure.

And you would not have to buy the biggest truck.

Off topic:

Shouldn't there be a standard for SUVs that they have to have a V6?

Perhaps Trucks a V8?

I think engines could be made more efficient.  They could also strive to make them easier to work on.  I mean not just for the diy guy but also the mechanic.

A 14 hour job that will likely be needed at 100,000 miles?  Get that time down.

End up buying a foreign one?  Who benefits? It makes us more of a dependent colony?

You know what else?  Like we don't have the authority over here to execute those who commit crimes against humanity?  Like a British think tank has never not been at work?

Government Cost Cutting 03 29 2025

While Elon and Donald are at it, there are a lot of costs that need to be wrung out of the oil industry.

I would blame high oil prices on the predicament of foreign cars versus American.  I would blame arms and legs missing from IEDs on the oil industry.  I would blame alcoholics living on oil pensions... 

I would blame all missteps in alt energy on the oil industry.

I would blame plastic in our bodies and low birth rates on the oil industry.

I could say how many cases of leukemia?  

I would blame Wars and assassinations on the oil industry.

I would blame conflicts with foreign nations on the oil industry.

I would blame unfair employment on them.

******'

So a 25% tariff on a foreign made car?

I don't know what to buy now.

So if a Honda is made in the USA that is tariff free?

But if say a Buick or Ford is made in Mexico or Canada that is subject to tariff?

And I believe in buying American brand names.

But that isn't what is implied by the tariffs is it?

You know what?  If I had that Presidential authority and wanted to wield it in that manner I would state you can't sell a car in the U.S. if your company has a name that is odd or screeching to our English speaking ears.  That is right.  I would make you change your entire foreign company name.  You are not going to litter over here in any way.

I don't care if your company was named after a WW2 emperor and that is your proud legacy? Wait a minute, maybe I do?  Maybe I am on to something there?

Get down on the ground you mother fvcker 03 26 2025

So that is what the Police are saying these days before they shoot and kill someone?

I don't have much to say about this.  And I am not asserting that I would be any better than that if I were a Police Officer.  

I just think it escalates it.  Does it not have a tiny element of intent to kill no matter what?

I am not saying it is hate speech.  I will say that hate speech should be legal.

And perhaps it is highly representative of this, (yes I am trying to be cryptic)..."Genocide is completely fine as long as it isn't us you are committing it against?"

And with regards to that.  Perhaps we have either a bad mix or illegitimate leadership?

Can a mix be made good with good leadership?

Can bad leadership create a bad mix where there wasn't any mix at all?

Yes, and yes.

I am not trying to judge.  I am just commenting on my observation?  Is it coaching?  You know coaches do need to judge.  And competition is a big part of our nation today.  So whether we are talking about judging or favoritism comes into play?  Is what you see going on judging or emotionally disturbed subjectivism?  And what honest introspection do you have with regard to yourself?

Innocuous Perspective? 03 26 2025

 "Did your daddy give you a name son?"

It is one of those things that seems rather innocuous.  But it wouldn't mean the same thing to everyone it was said to would it?  Not in a Republican pro life world?  So we have to watch our tongue?  Lest we say something that seems rather innocuous to ourselves?

Should we consider ourselves today as being from a group of people that takes our belief system for granted?  I mean have you ever really quickly pissed off an emotionally disturbed person with a comment you believed to be innocuous?

And perhaps we see that as a motif in the movies?  Something that serves as a message to us and helps us learn about a part of our world we previous took for granted as being normal as our own?

You know and a really good question is how many people have been victims of violence for their previously believed to be innocuous perspective?

Can I tell you what our country was founded to be?  It was founded on freedom of speech giving the weak a standard to try their best to become.

© 2025 Thomas Paul Murphy

Did you know that a person with schizophrenia is 13 times more likely to be a victim of violence than a perpetrator of it?  For their unrepresented innocuous perspective?

Our Constitution also bars large fines? 

And what happens when you fine someone a large amount?  Isn't it almost akin to an act of violence?  As if you just took away the meaning of any honest work or learning that they did in their life?  For however long it took them to do that honest work? 

If I have to work 150 years with a college education to get the same lifestyle as so and so, because I was fined, isn't that like a crippling burden?  Sure you don't like the comparison of it being likened to an act of violence.  You can't think in new terms of learning?

Government 101

 Print as much money for yourself as you need and collect money from everyone who earned it.

Why?  Because the money of those who earned it is the only money that has actual value.  Hence that money would be highly coveted by those who printed money for themselves.  So the only way money of your country has value in total is if you take some from those who actually earned it.

If you are not collecting it from the rich it means that the rest of the population isn't represented.

So how does a sycophant then respond? "Okay, you have to forgive me.  I didn't understand that is how it worked.  Alright I promise to attempt to be one of you.  Honest to God I am trying very hard to be one of you.  I won't ask no questions."

Republicanisms 03 25 2025

So if your High School daughter comes home from spring break pregnant that is a apparently a good thing?  It has to be a good thing because Republicans state it would be a crime to abort it?

Pardon me but do you feel like that is representation?  Do you feel like that represents your belief system?  Do you feel that someone was working very hard and brave to represent that as being your belief for you?

Do hillbillys even think that way?  Do black parents in the core think that way?

Who thinks that way?  Are we guessing at how the general public thinks?  Or did someone tell us them that no matter what idea that they think of it is a great idea?  Because they didn't want them to be extremely or terminally disappointed with the product of their own minds?

The answer is 101.5

What's the dud? 03 21 2025

 So it looks like our country is being propagandized as really being a business by Republicans and some Democrats?

Alright.  We can go with that.

And we want to make it a manufacturing economy again?

But in a manufacturing plant what is the goal?  That the defective parts (duds?) are not produced.

So if we were a pure business economy then we would want to apply that principle to everything about our nation?  And to me that would seem to fun against the false idealism of prolife and it is a crime to have an abortion?

I mean first thing is first right? 

If you are making widgets and they are coming out of the line defective then the first thing you have to do is recognize the defective products.  And then you implement measures so that the assembly line only puts forth saleable new products.

But what if you had leaders that were like birds that fly backwards?  They probably can't even conceive of what I am saying.

And what is the moral here?  If you are going to be what you are portending to be then be it?  Again, just like in a manufacturing factory line.  You don't say, we are only going to make a half product and sell it as a half product intended to be used as a whole product.  I mean like, we will sell a car that is supposed to have 4 wheels, but we will only put two wheels on it.

The last thing republicans want to do is truly recognize and ask the question, "What's the dud?"

dud - Search

This country needs alcohol revenue because it ensures us of a consistent supply of duds?

Hence, Republicans are the very reason we no longer have a manufacturing economy.  It is kind of an odd kid on drugs service economy.

Donald and Elon 03 19 2025

 If Donald Trump trusts Elon Musk so much with your American lives why doesn't he go up into space in one of Elon Musks Space X Rocket Ships with him?

And what a wonderful way for Elon Musk to say thank you to Donald Trump, to offer to take him up into space in one of his Space X Rocketship's.

And how could Donald Refuse such a great offer as that from someone he has entrusted so much too.

© 2025 Thomas Paul Murphy

And to be fair it is really remarkable that Space X was able to rescue those astronauts.

And Elon did indeed make that electric car Co Tesla work and be profitable, like a turn around story.  So can you blame Donald for hiring him to turn around the financials of our country?

But we are not really a business are we.  We are a nation of the free.

Which brings up another topic in the back of my mind.  Are the uneducable more cowardly?  A coward for the intents and purpose of this argument someone that will not do the right thing.

I bring it up as we see Trump wanting to eliminate the Department of Education.

There is an element of creating fascism through that?  See how?  If you give someone who is uneducable a job they are not going to ask questions are they!  They are just going to be glad to have that job.  And they are going to be in a group mind with people exactly like that are they not?  Praise the hand that feeds them no matter what and don't ask questions.  So one could say that fascist type leaders thrive on the cowardliness of the uneducable?  Sure I didn't articulate it pointedly enough.  But I assert it is true.

But the Catholic Church once said they don't believe you get your soul from your parents?  To me statements like that shock me.  They never explained it.  Even though I know they are wrong.  But perhaps it is true of them.  And if that is true of them, then what else is true of them?  That they get a sense of education from someone else too?

So I worked for an Italian as I went to college.  And he told me that he was right there with me in my learning and getting my college degree.  I forget how he said it. He was implying something.  And we both knew it and I didn't like it. I am the one who did that thinking and did that work, not him.  I think Republicans are like that.  I also once heard that Italians have a figure of Godparent to them and it isn't their god father or mother it is someone else?  I can't remember the language.  But I am indeed implying something about soul theft.  So what is that?  Someone who believe that they are educated, and they are not?  Someone who believes that they make decisions like and educated person when they do not?  That is illegitimacy.  And that is right in line with the pro life movement isn't it!  Is there class in illegitimacy?  Nah.

So, yeah, I know this type of writing could be used by completely rotten people to condemn me.  I don't care.  I do ask questions.  I search for the truth.  I believe in the good fight.

*****'

Honest to God, wouldn't that Rocketship ride do Trump good?  A Marx brothers' event?

Good night.

Did JFK believe in Ireland Independence? 

Yes.  That alone could turn a criminal element in some think tank institution against him?  Some organization that can kill people and get away with it?  Trying to be vague.

And if 80,000 files are released and perhaps redacted or nothing conclusive...criminal elements have their own lingo and abbreviations with regard to killing people, don't they?

*****' 

Criminality and alcohol.  It might be entirely a coincidence that Southern Ireland gained its Independence in 1921 and Prohibition started in the US in 1920?  Did Prohibition in the US give Britain some worry?  

Idk, just thinking aloud.

And perhaps the way to ask that question is did European countries lose money during Prohibition in the US.  The answer is yes.

So they were weakened by it.

I don't believe in the validity of alcohol revenue.

And if you follow the money the in trail there was an element of big oil in the JFK assassination.  If I lived in a stroke free environment I would have the quote and reference to it ready.

Cranberry Rhubarb Pie 3 16 2025 Complex Recipe Included

 




Cranberry Rhubarb Pie Recipe

I picked this rhubarb late in the fall. And it might be termed old growth rhubarb? Because it was big stalks. I washed it at that time and placed it in the freezer.

And it took up a lot of space in my freezer. And all this time I have been thinking that I should have thrown that rhubarb out a long time ago. So seeing as it was old I thought about giving it back some zing in some way. Hence the cranberries.

So here is what I did.

Mix the flour and sugar first.

I took half a bag of cranberries, perhaps 6 oz worth, 1/3 cup of white sugar/flour mix, and about a cup of water and put it in a 10 inch frying pan. I heated it up quickly. I added a pinch of each spices listed in the notes. And if you can taste the spices in it you have added too much. While in the frying pan I mashed it all with a potato masher and stirred it so as not to burn. When I got more of a jelly out of it I cut the burner and pulled the pan aside.

In the meantime I had gotten the bag of rhubarb out of the freezer. And it was freezer burned left and right with ice crystals in it!!! Again I thought I should have thrown this out.

I ran water into that bag a few times and poured off what might be called the melt. I placed the rhubarb in a mixing bowl and added perhaps a half a cup of white vinegar and enough water to cover the rhubarb. In an effort to revive the flavor.

From there I cut the rhubarb up as small as I could and then placed it in the frying pan with the cranbery preparation. No heat or anything, just stir to mix. To it I added one cup of white sugar that I had mixed with 4 Tablespoons of barley flour.

Preheat oven to 450 df

Crust preparation:

First though I had added some flour to the bottom of the pie pan. All the while I pulled the box of two store bought pie crusts out of the freezer and thawed them as quick as I could. I had the plastic bags in warm water at the base of the sink. Then I took one roll of it and spread it across the top of my steam rising berry pan and that seemed to help me peel it open better. And sure a piece broke. But I easily just putty formed it in place in the bottom of the pan. Not to hard to to.

To that you place some of the flour sugar mix at the bottom of the pie pan. Then you add your cranberry/rhubarb pie filling preparation from the skillet. Put little cubes of butter from a T of butter on tomp of that. And drape the top crust over. Now usually when I make a pie it is billowing full or domed. This one was more low like those cheap pies at the grocery store. But this was no cheap tasting pie at all. I was right about the zing.

450 20 minutes then 300 20 minutes, internal temperature was 196 Degrees F upon removal as measure with an IR Laser Thermometer. (Don't sweat the high tech, they are only $6 bucks on sale at the discount hardware store sometimes.)

Ingredients:

6 oz cranberries

6 T Barley Flour

1 1/3 cups white sugar

box of two pie crusts

4 cups rhubarb

1 T Butter

pinch of cardamon, ginger, star anise, cinnamon.

I did indeed run this off of a recipe I found on the internet by Carol and

All Recipes titled Fresh Rhubarb Pie. By that I used that as a reference for what a base pie would be.

This pie tasted like the most incredible cherry pie you ever had? It was unbelievable. And sure I was tempted to put a cap of bourbon in it. But I didn't. Didn't want to corrupt the starting idea.

Another Church Lie 03 15 2025

 Another Church lie is that Satan was completely defeated and gone.

If that were true Jesus Christ would not have needed to teach us how to drive demons out of someone by looking them in the eye and stating, "In the name of Jesus Christ Satan be gone." (That is just per my memory)

But look at the interchange here!  In this link!  They got into it didn't they!  Each declaring the other was able to cast out demons because they were indeed the demon!  Wow!  Very prophetic!

And there is also a bit of unrealized history there isn't there!  Jesus said they were doing the same thing, casting out demons too!  It is in this paraphrase quoted meaning from that link, "If you say that I cast them out by...then who do you say you are casting them out by???

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

Why does it say "only" son?

How did whoever wrote that (John?) know it was God's "only" son?

And why is it so important for people to believe that was God's "only" son?

Could God only have one son?  How come God could only have one son?  Why didn't God want to have more than one son?

If the world (world not people?) benefitted from one son of God would it not benefit from two sons of God?

Who desperately needs to believe that a sense of perfection or perfecting is unattainable? Who would profess you are not perfect so don't even try to be?

So God gave us his only son and then what happened to that God that gave us his only son?

Because you are not to believe anything unless it is interpreted to you by a priest?  And what does it mean to believe in him?  And here you have great contradictions?  

There are those of us who read the Bible and what Jesus said and did and we think to ourselves being like that is believing in him.  And Jesus himself affirmed that version, by telling us you will suffer for being that way.  Then there is the shorthand belief and lesser sell, which states all you have to do is declare he is your savior.  That in essence means you should not strive to emulate his teachings or actions.  It's pointless you are flawed and incapable of it.  Pretty discouraging, dismal isn't it?  In effect to the point that it is anti religion or even antichrist.

And it really can't be both ways because they are dichotomous contradictions.

Do you know what the short sell version is one that lessens the belief in God and that is a big no, no per the Bible!  The short sale version is deception.  And Satan is the deceiver.

(By short sale I mean a short sales pitch designed to work on those who have no concept or study of the Bible.  And indeed it lessens the belief in God of those who studied religion, and that is a big no, no.)

Okay one thing that they taught in Catholic School is substantially meaningful, "God is not powerless over Satan."

So if you are on hard times remember that.  A believe in God, in your own goodness, might help get you out of "it.". Whatever it is.  Satan has many weaknesses.  Weaknesses you might not be aware of.

The reason you would be motivated to lessen the Catholic belief system is that it played a big part in defeating Rome and other corrupt Governments throughout history?  Because do you know what it amounts to, the belief in that the good self.

I also believe there are other elements or religious traditions that detract from the true Catholic belief system.  Where they put in place to ultimately defeat it?

Foreign Owned Land 03 13 2025

 So the idea that no foreign country should be allowed to own Unites States farmland came up for discussion on an internet site.  And I am for that idea.  And really all Real Estate here should be U.S. owned.

Some people argued that we should really give all the land back to the Native Americans?

So what is wrong with that?

It has to do with this, you don't form a country unless you believe it to be based on superior idealisms?  And that is exactly what we did.

And sure, some of us are not so great here; I would say alcoholic money grubbing criminals.  But that doesn't change the fact that our country is meant to be comprised of those who strive for superior idealisms and individual freedoms and the pursuit of happiness.

And what is the lie with regard to we stole this from the Native Americans?  It is this, if we didn't somebody else would have and it would have been far worse for them, no matter what you believe was told to them by the enemies of freedom at that time. (Likely same enemies of freedom today.)

Every time a foreign country takes ownership of our land I would assert it lessens those superior idealisms and freedoms and pursuits of happiness.

And so we have a President who would allow foreigners to buy their way into our nation for $5 million dollars?  What are they buying?  It is like declaring the product of our education system is nil.  And they are going after that too, defunding as many as they can.  And perhaps I don't believe in the product of Ivy League Education either, nor do I believe in the product of Military Academy Education.  And yet I don't think we should be displaced by foreigners. And you wonder if grants were not somehow given by us to members of foreign nations so that they could buy their way in here?  I don't see how that makes us better.  I mean you could set up a whole finincial industry just as cheesy as a high cut cash checking place to loan money to just about any foreigner and have them pay you 25% interest on it?

*****'

Off topic.  So how much should an American be able to earn on their savings?  How much should an American pay in interest on consumer borrowings?  So If an American pays 25% interest or more on a credit card balance...lets compare that to the foreign bond interest rate on say Countries like Russia or China?  And the following numbers may be highly innaccurate.

The 10 year Russian bond rate is 14.57%

Looks like Chinas is 1.85%

The Uk is 4.6%

Saudi Arabia might be 4.3 %

Greece 3.71%

Iran 3.11%

So currencies are all interchangeable.

And therefore the Financial Industry, that actually trades against their own customers, would make an American pay 25% interest on a loan and however the nation of Iran borrows at 3.11%

Ask yourself who is being devalued by that?

Let the Oil Rule 03 13 2025

 So "let the States decide" seems to be part of the Republican Platform.

But why would they want to propagandize that?

It has to do with what saved our Nation from an Economic Insurrection at one time in our nations history, and what saved us was, the Union of States.

Let the States decide erodes the Union of States.

And then what happens?

The States that have the greatest oil reserves end up ruling all of the rest of the States.

So let the States decide really amounts to let the oil rule.

Oil a national resource?  Not when the profits go to the private sector.  So it is a national resource or not?

And I once read that three oil company executives came up from the south and in a veiled manner threated John F. Kennedy about some action he was about to take.  Kennedy was indeed assassinated in Texas.

So Republicans are taking away jobs aren't they.  Perhaps something needs to be taken away and nationalized.  In order to forestall a bad....

Peanut Butter Cookies 3 10 2025

National Security 03 05 2025

Did anyone ever stop to ask the question, what if somebody sold a nuke to one of these countries that Donald Trump says he wants to annex?

As if there are not enough zombies in our nation already; we would have to contend with people burnt from nuclear fallout?  If not the flesh falling off our very selves from nuclear fallout?

Did you ever ask yourself why he doesn't understand why the people of another country would fight for their own freedom whether it be a country he showboats about annexing or Ukraine?

And then ask yourself why it should bother anyone that I might ask critical questions concerning the safety of the people of our nation?

Inventions Needed A Frying Pan Lid that Traps Grease 03 03 2025 (off topic turbochargers)

I do believe that bacon grease that gets airborne can cause furnace filters to clog.  Whereby a furnace will trip its limit switch because it can't get air through itself fast enough and hence overheats.

But how hard would it be to make a frying pan lid that trapped grease fumes?

I mean you very well know that if you cook bacon, and I like the Beef Bacon I cooked this AM, that there will be a layer of grease under the frying pan lid.  And you throw a little baking soda and dish washing soap on it and clean it off under running water in the sink.

But what if there were a lid that did a better job?  Perhaps one whereby a portion of it, say a 1/3 you could see through.  And the other portion perhaps allowed air to travel through but not airborne bacon grease?

Aha, I was thinking of a disposable filter media.  But it could be accomplished with a precipitative screen or metal mesh gridding!  Hence defeating the "razor blade" business model whereby you always have to buy something else.

*****'

Off main topic.

I want to talk about turbo chargers?  Do they really cause heat buildup?  Do they cause motor oil to cook down to sludge and ruin engines?  Do they cause increased backflow and the same problem?  So if they are more fuel efficient doesn't it really matter in terms of energy costs if they don't last as long?  I mean good god, if you are burning a quart of oil a week because you have an old turbocharger, how are we really meeting better environment and the related end goals of fuel efficiency through implementation of them?  And so you ask yourself could the technology be improved?  Whereby you are eliminating the above issues?  Then you think of superchargers instead of turbochargers.  But a supercharger decreases gas mileage but likely near doubles horsepower.  Has that technology ever been tried to be implemented whereby the goal isn't doubling horsepower, whereby such device provides incremental power at same fuel usage thereby increasing mpg?

A Better Life Through Alcohol 03 03 2025

 Idk.  I just had to say that.  It is a propagandized belief system isn't it.  And because it is part of religion it means that it is a religious propagandized belief system.  And it is propagandized on television isn't it.

Maybe it applies to you.  Maybe you were not able to do well in school at all and you find a better life through alcohol?

I think the belief is completely deceitful.

And in terms of major religions?  There is absolutely nothing HOLY about alcohol.  It causes both cancer and mental retardation.  There is nothing HOLY about that; that is the opposite of HOLY.  They are both abominations of Gods image.

But you might be very successful in life by living your life on the run of alcohol.  Or you might end up with untenable problems.

But basically, I don't believe "what it is" is truthfully taught to the American Public.  I mean for all the education dollars spent we can't even get that right.  Just stand back and look at the waste of that.

On Immigration 03 02 2025

You know some people we just never needed here.  Like that woman who laughs in a high voice at every man's misfortunes; we never needed her here.

People like that tend to level our nation down to be like where they came from; nothing!

Yeah, I do believe something like that.  Just as wherever Midas went things turned to gold, wherever that woman who laughs at every man's misfortunes in a high voice goes, turns to less than zero.

Are we to have no standards here?

Are we to expect that immigrants that come here that are not of our standards are actually going to rise to them out of respect and admiration for us?

 So because one couple can't have children means that another woman unrelated to them is committing a crime if she has an abortion?

Because you can't have children means that a woman can't abort a pregnancy.

That has a element of privilege over rights.

A privilege to adopt versus a womans right to her own life.

And the rigged system therefore say's that the privilege is greater than the right?

That isn't the only instance whereby our laws have been contorted whereby the privilege is greater than the right.

Let's Blackmail Ukraine 02 28 2025

Let's Blackmail Ukraine

You know the issue isn't whether Trump gets along with Zelensky or not.

We won't help them unless they give us mineral rights in Ukraine? For Lithium? Which goes into electric car batteries. Not to mention that Trump doesn't want charging stations to be expanded? And he wants to not produce copper pennies either? Because demand for copper in electric motors, like cars is so great? Why do we need lithium or copper if we are not going to have electric cars? “Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we set to deceive?” Wall street likes deception. Then churn your money away from you based on it.

I don't feel that I owe Russia anything. They are a failed industrial economy.

But perhaps we should get something extremely important for any thin penny we ever give any foreign country? At the very least...and I know that you are going to hate this...

If we give any country even one red Lincoln cent all we have to ask for in return is that the people of their country have the EXACT SAME RIGHTS that we have in the United States!

Freedom of Speech

Freedom of Religion

The Right to Keep and Bear Arms

Sure we can turn the tables on how we interact with foreign nations. But to do it in the middle of a War?

Trump told Zelensky that he didn't have the cards to not be diplomatic with Russia. Really sad that neither Trump nor military man JD Vance don't know what freedom is really about; and why Zelensky is fighting for it.

I mean you cannot be a true Christian and not know that! Jesus spoke about peoples rights a lot didn't he! And basically, what he said was if you go that route a lot of you are going to face great hardship, but you will be redeemed by me. It has to do with human conscience. Neither Trump nor Vance know that you fight the good fight no matter what.

If we cut short help to Ukraine then Europe will have to help Ukraine. And that freedom is in Europe's prime interest. And then what coalesces against the United States?

We helped Russia tremendously in WW2 and they turned on us on a dime right after WW2. Did they ever pay us back? And did you ever ask yourself, how is a thug nation going to pay you back? What kind of gifts do you accept from a thug nation?

You know Trump wants to play hard ball with money? So do I! We cut off ALL money to foreign nations until they have exactly the same rights that we do here in the United States. That way we don't get anybody snarly coming after us. We don't get anybody shifty make odd deals.

What right does Putin have in Ukraine? None. What right did he have to invade it? None. Do we stand back as he invades nation after nation? What is his vision of the future? It doesn't include those rights above. It is more or less a failed industrial economy with alcoholism?

I think a lot of Russians in the United States talk like gangsters. And if you look at history. They were part of the effort to defeat our Constitution. They created so much crime here as they went against our Constitutions 18th Amendment that we had to abandon it. We don't owe them any subversive favors. Maybe Trump does that we don't know about; I would like someone to ask him that. But you can't ask him anything without him getting emotionally disturbed.

I mean why aren't we standing up to Putin? You have never seen Trump stand up to Putin? Is there something he likes about there country? That is where his wife came from. And there is something she didn't like about that Country or she would not have came to the United States? Has she made statements about how Russia could reform? I mean did you ever fight the good fight for the benefit of what might be future versions of yourself? Meaning people like you? Perhaps she has made that a foray of her first lady time, I don't know. Anything like that is and would always be put in little perspective with the guy who always wants the attention on himself?

Perhaps a teacher would tell you? About the person who always wants attention? Always wants the focus on them? Take the focus off of learning I want the focus on me? Take the focus of the real issues I want the focus on me? Take the focus off of ideas, ideas of freedom, I want the focus on me?

The point here is that by not helping Ukraine we are in fact helping the Russian Federation. I don't see any reason to. The Russian Federation? Perhaps it lends a light to what the true problem here is?

Five Things you did Today 02 26 2025

 I think that this is a wonderful idea of Trumps.

It is so simple that who would refuse?  Someone who didn't have to go through rigorous hiring standards?

There are likely some people who won't answer that request to justify their employment?

Perhaps there are some that can't even write that are making a hundred thou a year.

Perhaps there are some whose writing you couldn't read if they wrote the answers.

Perhaps they can't their wife to answer it for them because they divorced her or she is too busy?

Perhaps they can't answer that question without lying and that would be on the hinge of criminality?

Perhaps what they are doing is illegal and hence they have to make something up.  And it will be investigated either way so their will be justice department action against them.

Perhaps they were only hired because their uncle worked there.  In which case it won't matter what they write, they are not going to be fired?  Come on I dare you!  Answer that DOGE request with, "My uncle hired me and there is nothing that you can do about it!"

And indeed, Trumpmusk, make that publicly available what their responses were!  And also those that refused to answer.  We could all use a good laugh at a time like this.

Wow!  What a great new product that Donald Trump could brand.  Trumpmusk Cologne for men.  "Guaranteed to make you a Billionaire."  Yeah, I loved those "Wacky Pack" cards and gum when I was a boy.  Don't see them today, but I don't hang around and toy stores for children either, as I am an adult.

MANS EMPOWERMENT OVER GOD 02 22 2025

In terms of independence of Government oversight vanishing right before your eyes.  In terms of hints of their will never be another democratic election in the United States? Your starting to understand, but you still don't get it.  The power of Kings is Divine Right.  And it is part of how Christianity is promoted.  The stuff that you hear in church, he suffered died and was buried.  He died for our sins. He was tortured and crucified by the Roman Emperor Structure who thought themselves to be Gods.  The condensate of all of that means only one thing, "Mans empowerment over God."  Mans empowerment over God is a pagan belief system.

© 2025 Thomas Paul Murphy

Where else in near recent history did we see a very odd declaration of mans empowerment over God?  It was when Marconi invented the radio?  Can a microwave electromagnetic frequency be modulated with a microphone to make valid normal legitimate human a beings hear jealous insults in their heads?  Without a doubt.  The microphone causing the emf projection to be modulated in terms of wave and frequency to exactly match a persons voice and also through algorithms any other persons voice pattern you want to sound like.  They could make you believe that your fire fighter son or police officer son who lost their life in the line of duty said a post humous message to you!

Instead of radio waves being modulated by a voice on the microphone, microwave waves, the stuff that cooks your hard boiled egg, being modulated on a microphone.  Likely also responsible for a decreased birthrate in the U.S.? (Not real hard to figure out is it.)

I can't find the quote where Marconi (?) stated he had harnessed the power of God, but it exists.

Sports Team Owners 02 21 2025

 If sports team owners were required to live in the state of the teams that they owned wouldn't it somehow be better for that state?

Somehow, wouldn't more money be kept in that state and be thought of as being used for the purposes of that state?

I mean that is a key Republican defense, "Let the States decide."  Essentially it advocates more power to the states?  That or it is a subversive attempt to undo our union and democracy by the, "they know not what they do?"

But it would mean more power to the state, wouldn't it?  How can you argue it wouldn't mean that?

Empowering States.

But the thing is that laws are expected to be Universal to the States unless there is something unique about a state.  And I wouldn't call birth rate a state problem it is a national leadership and allocation problem.  You don't want one state being the wild child in the wrong direction from the Constitutional values, that throws the other states and unions in disarray.

You know I had a childhood friend.  I won't tell you his religion.  But we got into an argument.  And perhaps we were in the second grade.  And his favored form of Government was Parliament.  And I was shocked.  A lot of things Republicans do seem to have that same shock value?  And I really don't think it is intentionally attempting to down our Democracy.  It is more or less like they just get some vibe and go with it and they really don't know where it comes from.  You know that really sums it up doesn't it?

And after the people who have made all the changes exit stage left or right we are back to being a colony of a dictator, monarch, self declared God, Slavery, etc, etc, poor, no freedom, no chance for betterment, denied education, denied books, denied tools only a highly paid blacksmith will have them.

But some of the things Trump does I like.  I really don't see how a structure of institutional based corruption benefits me.  And perhaps everyone who is being fired left and right is a good person for all i know.  Perhaps they are bad.

And are we going to get to the point whereby a Corporation being seen as a legal person, takes and initiates writs, etc, etc etc?  Kind of like how the Queen hired pirates and called them something else to make them seem legal?

What am I getting at?  Seeing through it?  What does it represent?

When you can't agree or don't want people to agree on matters that might benefit everyone it means you don't want to benefit the people of your country?  See how it is a disconnect?

It is like going to Rome and being swindled by Roman numerals?  Every state having a unique set of rules?  Best not go anywhere.  Best stay in one place and be tormented by the griffin on the wind vane?

"Let the States decide."  That is really deceitful isn't it!  It is filled with at least one hidden false premise?  That whatever issue there is a question on is to complex or difficult for one single leader to make a judgement on? When in reality it isn't like that to a rational mind.  And our Constitution wants there to be a Union of States, which means a unified legal system and not one that is by a divine right kingsman?

"Let the States decide because nobody knoeds the answer."

Off topic.  The Republicans don't like free renewable energy.  They like to own oil wells and pump it from the ground and charge us an arm and a leg.  And when you talk about how powerful solar energy is they will say that our grid can't handle it.  Well I have the perfect response to that!

What if gambling and prostitution in Las Vegas Nevada were made illegal and it was instead of...instead of such a bright city from all the neon lights...so bright that it can be seen/ discerned from outer space...

....which means what?  That there is a grid that can handle a lot of distribution of electricity for the benefit of what? Pagan profits?  It means such a grid exists already....but again...what if that city where turned off and more or less replaced with solar panels.

Instead of being a consuming vortex of electricity it becomes a power producing distribution center???

And indeed some ancient texts tell of a great war between the sons of light and the sons of darkness.  And that the sons of darkness won?  Sometimes I wonder if I am somehow lineage of a son of light?

I mean what is all that?  Let the states decide?  It is completely alienating, isn't it?  And the corporate structure that rewards the most god awful people around.  Again, completely alienating.

"Nobody knows the answer to that", is the implied false hidden premise in letting the States decide?

Kind of like a car recall?  "Nobody knew there was anything wrong with that car?" Oh wait this is more apropos, "Nobodies knew there was anything wrong with that car."  I could go a little further,  "When's we's sold em nobodies nude there was somtin wrong with em."

Chicken Soup 2 19 2025 Updated to include ingredients and recipe


Chicken Soup Recipe 02 19 2025

Ingredients:

1 large can of chunky chicken soup

4 Large Chicken Drumsticks

4 ounces orzo noodles

3 stalks celery

8 baby carrots

3 slices of bread

½ cup classic seasoned croutons

3 cans water

2 to 4 ounces lemon juice

pinch of wasabi

pinch of Chinese mustard powder

1 T sugar

pinch fenugreek

sprinkle rosemary seeds

pinch ginger

pinch turmeric

Sprinkle Cilantro

Get a large pot. Mine was about 10” in diameter and perhaps 8” high. You are going to cook everything in one pot so there is less to clean.

Partially thaw the four chicken drumsticks in the mwave. Then place them in the bottom of the pot on med to med high heat. As soon as they look like they are heated almost through remove them and fillet the meat off them as best you can. Chop it up to small pieces like you would expect to find in a bowl of chicken soup. Place that back in the pot. Add the lemon juice, sugar and oriental mustard seed. Let that cook for awhile. Now back to the chicken bones. Work on those a little more. Fillet off a little more. Then score them with a knife and break them in two places. Now I took a stainless steel wire. Same wire one might use to make a bucktail fishing lure out of; and I pushed as much of that bone marrow out of those bones into the soup as I could. Before you add that bone marrow add the can of soup and three cans of water. You want that bone marrow to have something to readily disperse into.

Toss the bones in the garbage.

Add the orzo noodles. Chop the carrots and celery and add that.

This is a good way to use drumsticks in cooking. Did you ever notice that the meat by the bone of a drumstick isn't usually fully cooked? This eliminates that. And that drumstick meat has a hearty flavor in it.

Add the remaining spices and let that soup cook good and hot. As always stir to keep the bottom of the pot from burning. When those small noodles look soft and expanded it is near done. The last thing you will add is the croutons and the slices of bread cut to 1/2” cubes.

And this was really good soup. I added some salt to my bowl of it.

I might have missed a spice or two I added. If I remember I will add it to the list. Ingredient amounts are guesstimates in hindsight. Use your own judgment for spices. Croutons always seem to have a basil and garlic flavor so that added to the flavor. Might be thick enough to call it a stew? There was some chicken skins on the drumsticks. I cut those up in the process and they went in too.

First Orzo Noodles I ever bought. They allowed the soup to be stirred better. And the ingredients therefore to impart flavor more readily.

Reminiscent of soul food or slightly reminiscent of sour rabbit.

Hits the spot on a cold freeze day!

I mean so good that you couldn't buy it anywhere!

I wasn't always a good cook.  I can remember my father scraping some stuff I made off the plate straight into the garbage in disgust.  And perhaps that is the best teacher?

I agree with Trump on not letting criminals into our nation 01 19 2025

In fact I think a lot of problems that we have today were caused by just that.  We were great humanitarians and allowed those being flushed out of a foreign country as that country was trying to eliminate organized crime...come here.

They organized out of necessity.  And then caused so much crime that it defeated our Constitution.  And that weakness is imbedded into our democracy to this day.

It hasn't worked out well for the good people of our nation.

To be able to hate people and make money at the same time 02 19 2025

 Those are two elements that seem to go together very well?  Hating people and making a lot of money at the same time.

So we know that alcohol causes cancer.

Now on some other types of products you might see a warning label or perhaps you have heard this phrase, "Our product is safe and effective when used as intended."

But with alcohol consumption is the intended use of it and it causes cancer.

So it is a product that can't be safely used as intended.

So that is a very good legal point to make isn't it?

So if you are selling a product and making a lot of money from it and it causes cancer.

How can it not be said that you hate people and make a lot of money at the same time?

Who should pay for the cancer treatments?

Should the taxpayer?

One citizen abhors alcohol and the birth defects it causes, the mental retardation and I will assert resultant acts of violence from that, no matter how veiled.

And another drinks to their hearts content.

There is a big difference between those two.  Why break the will of the first person by making them pay for the treatment of the second (as their annual contributions are so allocated.)

So where is the conscience of the manufacturer in this?

Apparently, it falls into the category of hating people and making a lot of money at the same time.  There is no conscience there.

Does person number one above care if the price of alcohol where to rise so that the manufacturers and producers could cover the costs of the cancer treatments needed from consumption of their product?  Why would he or she!  He would be delighted to see something so terrible come undone by itself in that manner!  And be forced out of business.

But you don't see lawsuits like that do you?  Because the lawyer covfefe in this country is of that same ilk, per the title of this article.  I mean you are not going to legally go after the only source of your happiness?  Alcohol.  If you don't have a soul you are not going to validate the cause of it and bring great attention to it?  There might not be honor among thieves but there can be great collusion among thieves.

And perhaps it amounts to this, a drug like that serves as a false reward system for what Jesus Christ labeled, "the money changers?"

I mean look at how that statement resonates throughout history?  Look at what it applies to as I uncovered in this article today?

What do I mean.  There is always someone that can't understand a word of what I mean.  A money changer being someone that converts human sickness that they are directly causing into money?

Change your human potential to work into sickness and make a great deal of money from it.  Those are not good people.

Not a big Bill Cosby fan but I always liked this quote 02 18 2025

"You know, I brought you in this world, and I can take you out. And it don't make no difference to me, I'll make another one look just like you."


Bill Cosby: Himself (1983) - Quotes - IMDb

There was no law that I know of that ever prevented qualified people from adopting.  And in the publicized commercial the person that wanted to adopt was able to do so, twice.  There was nothing that needed to be solidified concerning the point, when you got what you wanted?

Nor was there ever any law that I know of that ever prevented those who put their babies up for adoption from doing so.

So why ban abortion altogether?

There was nothing that prevented you from adopting.

And likely those who gave up their babies for adoption new that those babies were in good shape.  And perhaps those mothers that didn't knew their babies might be in bad shape?

I mean they are making a point that didn't really affect them or have anything to do with them.

If they want to adopt children they perhaps they should have a marketing campaign to that affect.  If you are a healthy non drug using woman who is considering having an abortion please don't, we implore you not to, their are loving parents who would love to raise those children.

Ban abortion?  And if there is a pregnancy complication the mother should die in favor of the baby?  That is a decision I don't believe you have the right to make.  A good educated moral mother versus a babies whose future is very uncertain in this world?  You believe in the idea so much so that the mother should die in that case?  I don't see how that is in any way fair.  As the saying goes, "where do you get off" legislating that?  

Are the Constitutional Rights of the mother no longer in effect once she becomes pregnant?

What a horrible way to think.  "Once you get pregnant your Constitutional Rights are no longer valid."

There isn't a court or Supreme Court in this nation that doesn't understand that point of law?

******'

And what was the crying cause of the couple's sterility in the first place?  Why not take political action against the cause of sterility?  Or was in caused by something common sensed that was ignored?

Mother Mary didn't give up her son did she?  Are we also lead to believe that she was all in line for him being nailed to the cross in a torturous death; somehow for us?  Why is it relevant?  It is highly relevant when Bible thumpers make it part of their church pulpit sermon.  When that money flows through the communities and political systems, it is very relevant.  Part of being a man and thinking like a man is the ability to know how a woman thinks?  How would Mother Mary think?  How would Mother Mary think seems to be a missing part of a group brain?
