Public vs. Religious Schools 09 28 2025

 I would generally say that compared to someone that went to a "religious" school the person who went to the public school believes a bunch of junk.

I am not for school choice because of the Constitution and not all private and or religious schools are the same.

And some people that attend a religious school still believe a bunch of junk.

And it is a beautiful thing for parents to want their children to have a religious education.

*****'

Does prayer need to be taught in public  schools?

Why can't you just say, "Do onto others as you would have then do onto you?". Why can't you teach a common sense and sustainable belief like that? 

Are some of the things Republicans don't like taught in schools religious in nature, albeit bad religion, likely do.

Why can't you teach children to do the right thing because it is the right thing to do?

And, if Jesus Christ declared he was betrayed that negates any idea contrived that means he was meant to die on that cross for our sins.

He would not have said he was betrayed if he believed he was did at any time to die for our sins.  Instead he would say, "Thank you all for telling the Romans where I am amd delivering me to them because it finally fulfills the plan God my father had for me?". 

Although I believe in his courage I do not believe in that because of what he himself said about it.

"Father why have you forsaken me." He said on the cross.  Again he did not say, "Father thank you for the horrific death on the cross because it fulfills your plan for me.". That idea of scapegoating is not validated by Christ.  To me, it is indeed a contrived write in.  The Pharisees tried to kill him many times and they commiserated about how best to do it, because they knew the people loved him.

I don't believe the idea of him dying for our sins serves any good interest.  But perhaps it gives the mentally defective a much needed edge up in life over the rest of us?  If you can't get anything right in life you are compelled to believe other people are really here to serve you?  The opposite belief of that is one such a person could not handle.

And a leader of a foreign religious state mentioned Judeo Christian values? As if they are a unified belief.  The Pharisees did not in any way believe in Christ.  They plotted to kill him.  So how us that a unified belief?  Perhaps if you believe Christ was meant to die for you?  And the Pharisees were fulfilling Gods will? I think it doesn't get any sicker than that.  A bunch of junk.  Again Jesus didn't say "So glad you Pharisee's are here to kill me today and fulfill Gods promise to mankind." 

Jesus effectively said if you are wealthy you will not make it to heaven.  He didn't say "Its okay if you are wealthy I will proudly be nailed to the cross for your sins, and you wealthy will rightly then get in heaven you will."

You don't need religion to teach the bad idea above in public schools, it is what they already believe.  And Martin Luther's spin on it is no better.  What that idea does is effectively convert religion or Christianity into paganism.

It effectively negates Jesus teachings on what will exclude you from heaven.  If you are negating Jesus beliefs in Christianity you should not be able to use his name.  And there is another qui tam(so?) lawsuit

Prayer based healing and miracles?  What if it really works this way.  The idea of prayer being that your mind is connecting to and praising a most holy genetic purity?  Instead of all the rotten thoughts that you have, when you become sick you pray to that most hilt genetic purity and as your minds become one so do your bodies and hence the healing.  Could it be said the demons Jesus drove out of people were really attempting to heal themselves in that manner?

*****'

So I heard some military person say on am radio once that they had a goal of giving all soldiers the same mind?  Is that happens to veterans?  They realize they really need their own mind, not one mind? And that is what causes the high ___ self inflicted mortality rate?

Foreign Policy 09 26 2025

 "Mr President in your last talks with Putin or Netanyahu did you think to ask them why they are killing all those people...You know the next time you talk to them could you think to ask them that?" 

*****'

So we see a lot of videos of Charlie Kirk answering college student questions on campus.  And they are usually prefaced by something to the effect of college students get schooled by Charlie Kirk.

But to me it looked like the college students held their own, not just by what they said but by these two factors.

1. Sometimes you can tell who is winning an argument not by what they say but how they say it.  Now I would say that the uneducated or nonworking class do not see that dynamic the same way the educated do.  And blatantly so.

2. How far astray and non valid analogy does someone asked the question get?  Do the attempt to change the subject of the question to fit a small realm of understanding?  To they go off topic in an attempt to belittle the subject of the question?  And here perhaps is the most telltale, do they attempt to discredit person asking the question?  Do they site irrelevant trivia in their answer.  And think about it, that is pitiful isn't it?  An example of a sad mental state?

And perhaps here is something to think about or a defense, what did the question have to do with the person asking it?

So, right there, attempt to undermine the confidence of the person answering the question.  An educated person sees it differently.  "He couldn't answer that could he.". An educated Republican logs that into their symbolic an "elephant" never forgets scroll.

To sell you an idea that requires you to do absolutely nothing in life when you had the ambition to get a higher education.

I wanted to mention something like catch and kill your career in Finance by falsely appraising your skills in an active way while promoting persons or people guilty of human trafficking.

About Joe Biden 09 26 2025

 Look at all the deaths from fentanyl in this country.

How do we know that something Joe Biden ingested didn't cause that mental decline?

Are Presidents checked for odd chemicals in their system?  Or do they rely on the Dr they had their whole life?

Let's say Trump used the same Dr he had for 25 years today; does that Dr approve what T says about medicine?  Or contribute to what he says?  Makes you wonder.

I find a common pattern of bad people is; accusation to hide culpability.

Automobile Engineering 09 24 2025

 What if cars were engineered so that repairs would take as little time and money as possible.

For example a job that books ten hours today should be engineered so that it only takes 1 hour?

Might have things like jack mounts near oil pans?

Perhaps Turbo's would be built so that the bearings or impellors that might more readily need to be repaired are easily accessible?

We need to get away from the idea of Corporate America.  We need to get away from the idea of Corporate profits.

Instead, we want products that last and last.  We don't want to keep on heaping cars in junk yards. 

We don't need our bodies filled with plastics that leached into the water as forever chemicals and then no one can figure out why all the autism and still births!  And will Republicans realize that environmental regulations were in place for a reason?  That would require them to change from rock solid dolt thinking to adaptive reasoning?  I don't know if it is possible.

But you there is a little bit of that going on with Trump, in terms of him taking a stance on that pain relieving med and autism.

Baseball Coaching Hitters 09 23 2025

 Baseball Coaching Hitters 09 23 2025

It seems to me like a lot of the great pitches to hit are the first pitches the pitcher is throwing at my team! If I were a pitcher and I thought, I had “a sucker” up to bat that is the first pitch I would throw. Hard and fast bullseye strike. That also changes the mental framework of the batter after you throw that first pitch successfully as a strike.

But there are a multitude of statistics in baseball. One of them is how a batter has fared against a pitcher before. It might say this batter is 0 for 4 against this pitcher.

One would believe some sort of batting coach might have that statistics handy for each of his batters versus the pitchers they would likely face with another team. But not only that, was the first pitch this pitcher threw at this batter a center strike? I mean if you can't do that you might as well drive the beer truck.

So a batter gets up to the plate and it is like a change of phase. But at the level of professionalism, it shouldn't be that way. Their eyes should be warmed up and keen to see if that first pitch coming in is coming in straight. And their muscles should be coiled or loose or whatever is recommended to be ready for them to hit a ball that comes in past them. You can't get up to the plate and act like, “Oh this is what I am doing now. I am supposed to swing at pitches that are hittable. Okay after the first pitch is when I could figure this situation and situational awareness out.

So how are batters made ready to get to the plate in prof baseball? They need some way to have eye coordination teamed up with power swinging. Perhaps you drill a hole in a baseball and drill a hole in a goodwill bat. And you attach the two with a bungee cord a yoga woman would sell you. And you hit it like that. And you get really good at that. Or perhaps you use one of those paddleboards the perverted latent homo ivy league frat boys use on each other in order to create allegiance to the good ole boy network. And you create a bullseye on that board and drill a hole in the center of it and same as before with it.

My father taught me how to throw a perfect spiral with the football. He also taught me how to throw a baseball. I tried pitching in little league. But they wanted me to throw it a lot faster. Most sons play catch with their fathers. Who wants to throw the ball so fast that they beam their father with it? I suppose if your father drives the town beer truck, he might encourage that? They replaced me or chose a pitcher that threw the ball fast and beamed virtually every person up to bat. And they were happy with that choice. I didn't find out till 48 years later what religion that little league coach was of.

My mother told me a story about a pitcher in a small town in Iowa. He threw the ball so fast that he killed someone with it. He might have killed two people with it. She said he just sat in church on Sunday Mass with his head hung low.

And I want to ask what the h3ll the requirements are to be an umpire? In terms of vision? In terms of being drug or hangover free? In terms of what they might sound like when they talk? What am I getting at? Something like having to have a license to drive around on a bicycle with a cooler on the back of it selling popsicles?

In summary: “This pitcher took you for a sucker on your last 4 times at bat with him pitching and threw the first pitch dead center over the plate.”

Acetaminophen & Autism 09 22 2025

So President Trump had a press event where he said women generally shouldn't take it while pregnant.

But what about after birth?  Could it be in breast milk?

And what about preconception?  Whereby the sperm and "egg" to become one where exposed to it?  Is there a risk there?

If I were a Reporter those are the Q's I would ask. But I couldn't put up with his irritability.  What types of questions does he like?  If I have to ask that question why bother, the purpose is defeated.

But I like that he is attempting to address real problems like autism.

I know it is something different than what they imply, based on what two of my friends, who didn't know each other, told me when I was a boy.

And when you look at what is in vaccines... What the Republican platform seems to be is you are better off letting your human immune system attempt to target the virus than end up like "that".

The Bible on Women Drinking 09 21 2025


Titus 2:3-5 (NIV)

“Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God."

Charlie Kirk 09 15 2025

I honestly never heard his name until he was shot.

Now all kinds of videos of him speaking.

I got to give him respect for standing up for his Bible beliefs.

A few things I didn't like.  The idea of no retirement.  Seems like a prelude to one world gov communism.  Privatization of Social Security.  I think the stats are 95% of the public lose money in the stock market.  And some would tell you the answer in Mutual Funds.  But I know of a blue collar worker who lose most of his hard earned savings in mutual funds.  The last thing I want to see is millions of people displaced from their homes from stock market manipulation and no social security.  There are certain things put in place by FDR that go together.  Legalized alcohol and social security.  The stock market and social security.  Corporate America and Social Security.  Whereby you can't have one without the other with big problems.

My High School History professor made the comment to the effect of, never underestimate the power of the bourgeois.

And Charlie perhaps should have known to safeguard some of his comments.  Kind of to the effect whereby you don't want what happened to Franz Ferdinand happening to you.

I like the Biblical Shield he held.

There are some videos of homosexuals becoming violent in NY in response to rights?  He might not have seen that coming?

*****'

It doesn't make sense.  Here he is said he might have been a Pres candidate next election.  And no one on the roof to make sure no one up there?  If I said Trump failed him; is that a fair statement.

*****'

But to righteously defend yourself with the Bible like he did, in thus world, I have to give him credit for that.

And I do think some references to the bible in support of obscurities; well perhaps a person might be better off offering modern science based arguments instead?  Even though they are of the same stance.

Rest in peace Charlie.

Gun Talk 09 13 2025

 So someone told me that you could empty your AR clip into a Viet Kong and they kept on running at you.  Do I wondered how that could be?

1. I always thought short powder in the casing might be the cause.

2. But what if a mech part were tampered with?  Whereby the bolt unlocks in a way to cause a rickety unpowered round?  If the bolt wears does it cause it to release early and therefore less power?  As the power forward is converted to blowback of the bolt in a perhaps microprecise way that makes a big difference?  Whereby the gun cycles fine but with less power (muzzle force) and hence s tumbling bullet?  And perhaps it had to do with rifling?  But that is something that should have been easily known.  Too tight rifling creating too much spin, too much spin causing tangential velocity paths?  That is something that should have easily been known and labeled a "no go" for distribution from factory.  And there could be a factor with regard to a certain combination of powder charge to rifling barreling being a certain flunky?

But in two here I was thinking more of firing mechanism.  Whereby it is something internal not readily understood?  So the question would be if the bolt carrier was different in some way?

Sound like paranoia?  Let me ask you this, if they don't care for you when you are back home did they also not care for you while in service and perhaps before?

The most shady characters I ever met tried to convince me to join up to the army while I was pumping gas to make money to pay my way through college.  A few months before the Persian Gulf War or op freedom or whatever you want call it.

All men are created equal 09 12 2025 DRAFT ARTICLE ELEMENTS ONLY

Then why do we compete; to prove we are better?

So perhaps somebody who wasn't born quite right feels they need to compete and win in order to prove they are better? 


But to someone who believes that all men are created equal, that defective person can never prove they are better to a person like that.

A thief can never prove that he is better to a man who believes that all MEN are created equal.

So the lesser man competes in order to prove his reason for existence?  But a thief who is a lesser man can never prove that.

Car Operating Temperature I don't get it. 09 12 2025 DRAFT ARTICLE ELEMENTS/OUTLINE ONLY

More horsepower means that the engine is stronger?  Right?

Why wouldn't a stronger engine be more efficient?

Are we not presuming the fuel usage is the same with regard to what horsepower is being achieved?


But lets taking drilling metal with a metal bit as an example.

A. If you drill slowly with a sharp bit of hard metal such as cobalt is cuts better.

B. If you attempt to drill fast what will happen is that the bit won't cut and it will just get hot.  And if you then decide to use more pressure that bit is going to crack.  So the hotter bit, did that create less friction?  Or did what really happen is that it increased metal fatigue.

*****'

A hotter engine is more efficient?  But why?  Because when you have an engine at near the boiling point of water the fuel delivered to it stays  or is more readily in a vapor gas state?  Hence you need to use less of it?  But is it true?

Could an engine be ran at 135F and the fuel delivery method of fuel injection be so precise that your vapor state due to increased heat of an engine isn't a factor (assuming it is?)

So there is a Japanese company that sells thermostats that open at a much lower temperature.  In order to let the coolant flow quicker so that...And those thermostats are marketed for race cars.  But with some race cars the issue is that the more times they have to go into that pit stop to fill up with gas the less likely they are to win the race.  So one would believe if that "cold" thermostat where marketed to cars for those types of races it would not be decreasing efficienty, Miles per gallon.




How To Choose a Thermostat for Your Classic Car

The boiling point of water is 212 Degrees Farenheight?

For what I have to put up with otherwise 09 13 2025

 That is a real interesting phrase as it relates to public service.

I think we see it perhaps when security guards run like hell when confronted with a gunman?

And perhaps it has to do with a quasi nature of the law?  Whereby when you stand up for people you can go to jail if you do so, no matter if you are right or wrong.

But we have had two political shootings from rooftops.  At least two.

Is there an issue that nobody wants to go up on the roof and see if somebody who isn't supposed to be there is?

I know I don't want to ever have to get up on a roof again.

You could fall and die or become physically paralyzed for life.

And perhaps someone not wanting to go up on a roof has to do with the phrase, "For what I have to put up with otherwise."  Meaning your standard of living doesn't seem commensurate with the risk of the work you do?

And what else can happen if you go up on a roof, like a flat roof?  It is kind of like when it is raining and you are camping and you touch the tent and it starts to leak right there?  The roof may leak because you walked on it?

******'

What right did the Jan 6 rioters have to go into the Capital?  And Donald Trump says that Democrats were very mean to the Jan 6 rioters?  Isn't our FBI and Justice departments supposed to be non partisan?  So you have to look at political technique of a bad man.  Anything bad he wants to do he first accuses other people on the other side of being bad for doing it.  That is a pre attempt to white wash himself of any blame for future bad actions.  What he likes to do more than anything is to get up there to the podium and wheedle and deedle.  And perhaps that gives wealthy children confidence and comfort more than anything.

Video of Charlie Kirk Shooting 09 13 2025

 I have not been able to find a video of it.  And I really don't see a valid reason why not.

For example, when Kennedy was shot there was video of it.  And everyone wanted to see it.  Why?  Because we thought perhaps we might see something in the video others didn't as to the shooter and where he was shot from.

I find it rather disturbing that I can't find a copy of the video.

Someone said that the major media companies had a policy of not showing gory videos.  But that is in no way shape or form true.  You can go on Facebook and you will find young women in ultimate fighting championships whose face is covered in dripping blood.  Trump Taj Mahal hosted ultimate fighting events.  So the people that don't believe the womans womb is sacred (must keep a baby in cases of rape or incest) also believe in barbaric televised fighting.

My father served as a combat medic in WW2.  He told me a soldier got a bullet straight through the neck.  And that I think it was him, put his fingers in that bullet hole to stop that bleeding and save that mans life.

Perhaps I would also like to see what first aid came to Kirks help.

And the sick thing here is that the people on the Conservative side don't want you to see it?  Are they attempting to say those who would want to see it have no class?  Think about that in conjunction with the above.

You see someone dying like that you might not be as polarized in your political views?

*****'

Off topic:

I don't believe the Republican Party should bear the Conservative name.  To mean Conservative comes from the word Conservation with an idea of protecting the environment.  I find them opposed to it.  So why don't you pick a different title.  Because that isn't want you mean.  You mean penny pinching by the rich.  And doesn't that really boil down to controlling the money supply.  And I would say irresponsibly.

So we are talking about the wealthy.  And the wealthy like to set up charities don't they.  But it is really a form of evasion isn't it.  So that isn't Conservation either is it.

When you look at Cancer Charities?  I would say that they might function more as catch and kill of money!  The causes of cancer are well known.  But again your Republicans don't like that.  They label that as being California bad like?

I see them as the party of the haves lecturing to the have nots.  And I believe that Gov policies need to change to diminish that.

******'

And the first thing we want to look for when we want to see a video like that is, to see if it looks faked.  After all Donald Trump has our eyes trained to look for fake news.

Isaih 10:2 09 07 2025

 So I was doing some online banking today and it always reminds me of the Bible Quote "They raid the estates of widows and orphans."

And how come the post office can search out and find certain things and prevent them from being sent to you, perhaps a small pocket knife that you do indeed have a permit to have.  However if you were to send a personal check through the mail it would likely be stolen, washed and used in an attempt to drain your account?  How come?  How come it works one way and not the other?

Which leads me to the main point of this article.  So indeed Jesus said and made some condemning comments about the rich.  And the rich seem to always be the ones in power?

Getting to the point.

How and when did Jesus father die?  There is no word of it in the Bible that I can find?

So I want to ask the question, was Jesus very own father killed because of what Jesus said?

And if that were true, it was covered up?

Somehow, you know the new Pope, perhaps the best thing he could do with his time as Pope is answer to a point of fact a question like that.  They have that Vatican Library?  I would believe the answer is in there.

And it is highly relevant.  But lets say the answer condemns the Church in some way?  Then they are not going to give us that answer, are they.  Which makes you wonder if that isn't indeed the reason we don't have that answer all along.

I had to look up the Popes name.  It is Leo.  Isn't that always a name that has a very slight connotation of being shifty?  Like Lefty Leo?  Perhaps that is why he really chose it?  To attempt to give credence and respect back to that name based on the future words and actions he would have as Pope?

Did you ever smile, and it is almost as if you can feel another person smile with you in a similar vein to laugh and the world laughs with you?

Metal Box Corner 09 06 2025

 I never thought about it this way.  To make a metal box corner like this.  Essentially seamless, folded in, and then one rivet to hold the fold.

In the age of robotics and high tech mfg processes, a metal joint like this could be made.  But is it structurally superior?  It provides upright rigidity as well as longitudinal side rigidity.  In the mfg process less cutting would be needed.

But also in today's age of little quality control, little individual product review before sale, little standards, I could see that the four corner folds would be a mess?

Another advantage would be in is a waterproof basin, so in effect you don't have a bottom seam to start to rust.

I think I have seen bread baking pans made like this, but with the corner fold exterior.  I think Chinese food paper board boxes are made that way.  I really never thought of making a mental inventory of examples.

 The gist of this is that if you have a strong flexible cross section of plastic and no the internal circumference of such you can stretch wrap that around a wooden base and wooden collar top to create perhaps a box, a storage container or even a purse!!

I Just Realized that I don't believe in Roman Holiness 09 06 2025

And because England was a foundation of Rome I don't believe in British holiness either.  I have never met a Holy Roman!  Never!  It is an oxymoron.

*****'

Somewhat off topic, but not really.

Did you ever go to a bar and ask for a non alcoholic drink?  And the bartender looks like they got instant upper spinal paralysis because you asked?  Their spine looks like that of a dead fly looking belly up?  And they can't really make anything good non alcoholic!  

And so you think you will have a soda?  In terms of that bartenders mind and what they have to offer they only have two kinds of soda black and white!

That makes it easy for the dyslexic problem ridden bartender, just two kinds of soda, black and white.

I wonder how many people told their problems to a bartender and had the worst life ever after because of that?  Highly likely.

And the people who are taking the most out of our economy are paying the least.

The Media and Critical Thinking 09 03 2025

 I get a gist that the mainstream media believes that critical thinking is hateful?

They want you to believe that to question is to hate?

They want you to believe that to critique or suggest improvement is to hate?

That weigh in on a topic and attempt to hold the nation to a higher standard is a hateful thing to do?

And I also get a gist of the belief that only certain people should be commentators?  Only people that they are comfortable with?  And it means something.  Perhaps that they are not really comfortable with the people of our country or the structure of our gov?

The belief that only select commentators have anything to contribute?

Kind of has the gestalt of the Garden of Eden to it?  Only comfortable with a person being able to have one skill?  And that belief being an expression of self incompetence?  The truth being the person who only develops one skill likely wont be able to adapt as change happens in that trade.  But that doesn't matter if you are their blacksmith putting new horseshoes on their favorite pony.

Internet Media Today 09 03 2025

 And it is like you see a different face of Trump every day?

"Have you had your daily face of Trump yet?"

More facial expressions than a thousand faces of Eve?

Is that a phrase?  "A thousand faces of eve?"  I don't know anymore.

And did you ever notice that whenever someone who was led up to success is sick they show the best photos of them, not of the sickness?  As if they are trying to "Beelzebub" heal the person who is a money chip for them?
