Republican Specifically Is labeling source of costs

 So they use this as an excuse to refund whatever they want.

But what about Pro Life?

Who should foot the bill for all those orphaned babies?

I would propose specific liability!  The men who sired those babies should foot the bill.

And judging by how many wealthy Republicans are connected to the sex club trafficking pimping operation of Epstein, it is likely Republican men!

But the apparent Republican belief is that everyone else has to take responsibility and bear the burden of their mistakes, who knew.

Children of mothers who can't keep them go to an orphanage whereas the children of the wealthy that cannot be controlled or properly disciplined by their father go to the glamorous military academy.  Where they are aggrandized with yellow peacock feathers on their hats.  oohwhee

wait a minute.  bonus item.  without my glasses on the man in the light blue shirt looks like the television character Archi Bunker.  Why?

Why do we foot their liabilities?  Because they wouldn't be able to make any money in a capitalistic democracy if we didn't.

Does Trump have the power to Nuke

answer part 1 per Google Ai

Yes, as U.S. president, Donald Trump has the sole authority to authorize the use of American nuclear weapons. [1] 

## How Launch Authority Works


* Sole Power: As Commander in Chief, the president holds unchecked legal authority to order a nuclear strike. No other official, including the Secretary of Defense or members of Congress, must approve the decision. [1, 2] 

* The Process: If the president decides to order a strike, his identity is verified using codes carried on a card known as the "biscuit". The order is then transmitted to the Pentagon and down the military chain of command. [3, 4] 

* Execution: Military officers in the chain of command are required by design to carry out a lawful presidential order quickly. [2, 4, 5] 


## Legal and Practical Limits


* Illegal Orders: Military leaders are legally obligated to follow only lawful orders. If an order is deemed illegal under the laws of armed conflict, military personnel have a duty to refuse it, though identifying an unlawful strike in the short time window of a nuclear event presents major practical challenges. [4, 5, 6] 

* Advisory Role: While the president can consult military advisors and cabinet members, their input is strictly advisory. They cannot veto a launch command. [1, 2, 6] 


Detailed breakdowns of this protocol are outlined by the [Congressional Research Service](https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/IF10521) and the [Council on Foreign Relations](https://www.cfr.org/articles/who-can-start-nuclear-war-inside-us-launch-authority-and-reform). [1, 5]

Question statement by Thomas Paul Murphy

That is an Act of War


 Yes, launching a nuclear weapon is universally considered an act of war and would instantly trigger a major international conflict.

Under the U.S. Constitution, the authority to engage in war is divided between two branches of government:
  • Congress holds the sole constitutional power to formally declare war.
  • The President, as Commander in Chief, holds the operational power to direct military forces and respond to immediate threats or attacks, which includes the control of the nuclear command structure.
This separation of powers is designed to prevent a single person from starting a war, but the speed of modern nuclear warfare means the president retains the immediate ability to launch weapons without waiting for congressional approval.
If you want to explore this further, I can explain:
  • How the War Powers Resolution attempts to limit presidential military actions
  • Historical debates around reforming nuclear launch authority
  • How international bodies like the United Nations define an act of war
Let me know which direction you would like to take."

*******'
Look at the Contradiction there.  And not even Google AI can get it right.  Programmed not to?

Putting Presidential power to the test.  Putting everything to the test.  Not to make it stronger but to brake it's shared power.

Children of mothers who can't afford them go to oranges, children of the wealthy who can't be controlled by their father go to military academy.

What to do with junk 09 22 2026

So you buy something.  And it wasn't as good as you thought it was.  You can't take it back for some policy reason.  Or you have old clothes that no longer fit?

81.  Do you really want to sell that piece of cr@p to someone else and have them experience the same ill will that you did?  Say you bought a pair of adjustable reading glasses that are pure cr@p?  But yet you say to yourself the item has value?

2.  You say to yourself all those old clothes I could sell them on the internet?  Do you really have the time and frustration to deal with that?  I do believe in donating good stuff.  But again I wonder, if all I am doing is buying and donating, isn't it really like I am buying for the donating center?  Sure you likely say that is a poor way to see it?  But by a small percentage I see it that way.

3.  You used to say to yourself, these old shop towel.  I will put them in a bucket and wash them all at once.  Now you say to yourself, that dirty water might stay in the lowest basin of my washer?  Or whatever I wiped up with it, some greasy chemical perhaps, might not be good for my washer?  And you don't really want to take them to a laundromat to clean them because it feels like you are cheating the next person who uses that machine?  Or causing more breakdowns of that businesses machines.

But in terms of metals.  I believe in taking them in for money.  Like an old lead acid batteries!  Get that cash in your hand from the scrap yard guy.  Pretty good feeling.

And I will still donate clothes.

Likely just throw out rags.

Just social commentary.  Shooting the breeze.  And throwing out dirty rags today inspired it.

*****'

I want to say something about the need for more car compactors.  By a new car with a faulted V8 you ought to be able to get your money back and have that thing compacted right away.  Perhaps get money for the scrap to.  That way a business learns its lessen to be a good business?  And when said business runs out of money to pay you it should come out of owners pockets!  I mean, good God, enough of the wrongly enriched!  A gd enough of that!

The Media 09 22 2026

If you got the radio on and you hear a song you don't like.  Don't give it the time of the day.  Change that channel.  Same with odd people on television.  They only reason they don't seem odd to you is because they are being paid a lot of money to be on television and hence they are happy because of that.

Don't say to yourself some odd Reagan fortune teller idea like, "I must be hearing that song for a reason!  I must listen to the words.  A "God?" is trying to tell me something important."  No.  Don't even try and understand that song.  Don't even try and explain to yourself how that awful voice singing it really is a quality singer and you don't get it.

Don't imprint yourself with that ugliness!  Don't allow yourself to be imprinted with that ugliness.

******'

And we used to have a Jazz and a Classical radio stations in Milwaukee.  Where did they go?  Awful soulless people among us couldn't stand it that you could listen to that music and relax.  They want you to listen to odd voices and junk heap lyrics.

The odd among us don't want your brain wave to be relaxed.  They want it to be chaotic and impulsive!  And out comes your wallet.  You bought on impulse!  They imprinted you with that ugly mentally ill defective brainwave and you bought on impulse.   And you don't question anything.

*******'

But I also like WMSE radio, most of the time.  And I like to listen to sports games on the radio too.  Something you need to know.  The radio will tell you the results of an inning or football drive about 45 seconds before that lighted box will.  Think about that if you are watching a game and say to yourself, if there was some way I could place a bet right now based on what I am seeing!

The First Amendment and Jesus Christ 09 21 2026

 Jesus Christ had as much right to practice religion as anyone else!  He had as much right to practice religion as the Romans or any other Jews. (But it would seem to be that is why he was crucified!)  But it really isn't fair to say that the Romans had religion, because they believed in themselves as Emperor Gods.  I would say believing yourself to be God as not being a religion.  Now you can believe yourself to be competent, handsome, strong, etc, etc, but to believe yourself to be a God I would say that isn't religion.  Why not?  Because you didn't create yourself!


But anyhow.  Look at these 5 parts of it as outlined by the website I copied them from:

  1. Freedom of speech
  2. Freedom of the press
  3. Freedom of religion (both exercise and prohibition of government-established religion)
  4. Right to peaceably assemble
  5. Right to petition the government

They are all under attack by the Republican Party aren't they!

He doesn't like the press.  It is as if they expose every moment of his life as being mental illness.
I wouldn't say they are attempting to make Charlie Kirk the national religion, but something about that direction.
Peaceable assembly?  These losers hire thugs to disrupt that.
The right to petition government?  It is non existent!  NON EXISTENT!  Punitive measures exist across the board to prevent it.

Freedom of speech?  They totally destroyed that with psychiatry.  Totally!  As if those jealous insulting voices a victim of such persecution hears are somehow themselves being jealous of themselves!

© 2026 Thomas Paul Murphy

And I was viewing a man who made fishing lures website.  In the video showing them was a rap type singer.  Telling how people in his neighborhood got people hooked on drugs and wanted them to be hooked on drugs.  And how he fought it.  But how sick is that!  To want everyone in your neighborhood to not be able to reach their god given potential!  And you wonder if some arm of the G secretly supports such initiatives across the board as a matter of wealth preservation or status quo?

But look at the jealousy and envy that has to be present in the mind of someone who would desire to get everyone in his neighborhood hooked on drugs!  That goes far beyond the definition of demon doesn't it!

Free Speech and the Bible 09 19 2026

 So it is a common religious belief that Jesus never sinned.

That means when Jesus called Peter Satan it was not a sin.

That word "Satan" might have fit the same definition that certain words classified as hate speech do today.

So what would it mean if back then the word Satan was classified as hate speech under a hypothetical law back then?

Another religious belief is that you are not to take the name of the Lord in vein.  To swear like you are the lord?  To swear at God?  (Whoa!  There is a branch of something to write right there.)

What I am getting at here is the equivocation of calling someone satan being labeled hate speech as really a violation of you taking the lords name in vein, but it means that the person you believe to be the lord is Satan!!!!  Do you get it?

Hate speech raises the level of the word used in the hate speech to the defense that it is the Lord that you are talking about!  And that is just plain wrong.  And we got those anti hate speech laws from Republicans.

******'

Another interesting point about Jesus not sinning is that he took his staff to the money changers who had set up kiosks in his temple!  So that was not a sin!

And what would it be like this.  Jesus comes back from his preaching away from his temple and finds that money changers were selling other peoples babies there?  I think he would be pissed!  And it would not be a sin for him to be pissed!

And I am talking about the Catholic Church stealing babies, some Irish, and selling them to families.  And that is the basis of pro life?

I have always believed that rather than defacto stealing a poor woman's baby the conditions should be present whereby the money to support her comes from the rich instead.  So I am talking about a more level something.  I really don't see how you could have studied the New Testament and believe elsewise than that.

It gets at some of the root problems in our society.

And I believe that mothers should be able to raise their children and not have to work away from home.  And the tradeoff to that would be you won't have trillionaires building humanity vacuuming data centers everywhere.  That is a good reversal extreme of words?

On Immigration 09 16 2026

You can't be taught how to be one of us when you get here.  You already have to be one of us before you come here.

You can't be taught how to be one of us when you get here because either are one of us or you are not going to be one of us.

*******'

I want to say something like, we let all of these immigrants in our country and pretty soon you have a domain or neighborhood that a traditional American can't even shop at.  You have a neighborhood that no one wants to even drive through.  How is that us?  Whose final solution of tribalism is that adhering to?

Wow!  Did I just nail it right there?  A final solution of tribalism?

United States and Oil 09 16 2026

 I think a lot of our nations problems could be solved with one act.  

Prevent any foreign based Oil Corporation from operating in the United States. 

Perhaps if you want to sell oil to the United States you have to go through .gov to do so?  And there could be set prices you could not go above.

If the United States is a net exporter of oil, then we can set our own prices on our homeland?

But that isn't true.  That is one of those statistics a Republican goofed up.

Here is what google states.

"total petroleum and refined products, but it remains a net importer of raw crude oil by itself. [1]"

We need to throw our weight around as to what foreign countries we do business with.  I mean sure we have freedom of religion in the United States, but does that mean we view dictatorship type of governments as our equivalent?  Should we allow them to be enriched through trade with us and our American Dollars.

I don't think any foreign country can replicate what is behind the value of the United States dollar.  And if you are a very greedy person you aren't going to be able to comprehend what that means.

*******'

I think that if you gave those foreign countries the cold shoulder eventually, they wouldn't be able to sell each other anything because they would collapse.  And at that point it isn't up to us to save them.

Bottom line you had leaders of your foreign countries that didn't really value what the United States did.  They resent it.

*******'

So you say we need that oil for energy here?  Someone can't be more ignorant than that.  It is funny how massive solar energy facilities are put up to power data centers!  And you don't understand how that should have been powering our homes and cars 55 years ago.

The Roulette Rake 09 15 2026

 So good people get into Government and create legislation that prevents pollution.

And then you get the bad people in public office and they view receiving money from lobbyist to strike down and eliminate those regulations as an opportunity to make money!

"Think of all the money I will receive from people who want to pollute!"

Deregulation of the financial industry.

"Think of all the money I will receive from people who want to commonly charge loan shark rates."

And in the hour of minutes television show on Sunday it told of a woman who paid $1,ooo,ooo.oo to attend an event at Mara Largo and also her son was pardoned after doing so.

And when I think about all the industry that was created with the defeat of Prohibition.  Personal injury lawyer commercials from motor vehicle accidents, likely involving alcohol?

All the health problems people get from alcohol and tobacco.  And how that makes the health care industry profitable.

I think that if I were President, I would just nicely ask people responsible for this to leave.  Just be nice about it and say our country isn't supposed to be this way.  You would have to know our country isn't supposed to be this way.

I wonder how many people work for someone.  They are supposed to get two weeks vacation time a year.  But they can't take it because they will have twice the amount of work to do when they get back.  That isn't what two weeks of vacation time is ever supposed to mean.

Well, I suppose we pray for them.  That is what Jesus said to do.  And in order to do so you have to have an element of pity for the person you are praying for don't you!  But they don't ever want you to pity them do they!  They put up the grand allusion!  A good part of their happiness is them convincing themselves they are happy?  But by what comparative standard do they use?  Do they compare themselves to the person who pays 30% on a credit card balance?  Do they compare themselves to the person they won't pay a living wage to?  Do they compare themselves to the person physically disabled from being the victim of an alcohol related accident?

And a little off topic here.  But do you see how a certain weak mind works?  All it has to do is convince itself that something should be a certain way and then attempt pass that emotion on to the rest of us?  "How can I tell a lie so that I can believe it?"  "If I practice and tell a lie so that I can believe it then I have no fear over telling that lie?"  "As I tell that lie my predatory eyes will search the audience and I will be able to see who believes in me.  If I see most do I can be at ease with that lie!" That is someone that doesn't really think much of people do they.

Again they don't want you to pity them.  That mouth will open wide and bellow in what sounds hormonal agony and you will not get a word in edgewise!

"Think of all the money I will be able to rake in by suggesting certain laws can be struck down."

********'

If I am in the woods and a bear comes after me I know not to run right.  But if I start swearing at it, oh my god, if I use hate speech, have I committed a crime?  Republicans gave us that type of nonsense too.

Pity that person as if you have something that they never ever will have, your own human soul.  You are not going to be wrong.

Ai Humor 09 13 2026

 is a football a brown oblate spheroid?  (Question by Thomas Paul Murphy)

No, an American Football is a brown prolate spheroid, not an oblate one. [1, 2]
Shape Differences
  • Prolate Spheroid: A sphere that is stretched out or elongated at the ends into a pointed oval, which describes a football. This shape helps players throw a tight spiral and grip the ball easily.
  • Oblate Spheroid: A sphere that is flattened at the top and bottom, like a hamburger or the Earth. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Color and Material
  • Brown Leather: Traditional game balls are made from cowhide leather, giving them their classic brown color.
  • Texture: They feature small pebble bumps and white laces to help players catch and hold onto the ball during a game. [1]
Would you like to know more about how footballs are made or the aerodynamics of throwing a spiral?

Ai How do you tell if a leader is wise?  (Question by Thomas Paul Murphy)
Ai answer:
You can spot a wise leader by looking for a balance of practical problem-solving, deep empathy, and a habit of empowering others rather than controlling them. [1, 2]
*********'
Core Signs of Wisdom
  • Pragmatism: They think carefully before they act and look at long-term results.
  • Empathy: They listen to different views and care about how decisions affect people.
  • Timing: They know the right time to take action and the right time to wait. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Shared Behaviors
Most users on Michael Krayenhoff's post on LinkedIn agree that great leaders admit when they are wrong, coach instead of control, and build new leaders rather than just building followers. [1, 2]
If you want, tell me:
  • Are you looking at a workplace leader or a public figure?
  • Do you want to know how to cultivate these traits yourself?

Ai who do we credit for, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush? (Question by Thomas Paul Murphy)


We do not credit a single author for "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush," as it is an anonymous traditional proverb that evolved over thousands of years. [1, 2]
Key Milestones in Its History
  • Ancient Roots: Similar sentiments date back at least to the 7th-century BCE Aramaic Story of Ahiqar and 13th-century Latin proverbs ("Plus valet in manibus avis unica quam dupla silvis"). [1, 2]
  • First English Record: The earliest known written English version appears in The Phrase Finder records from 1450 in John Capgrave's The Life of St. Katherine of Alexandria, which stated, "It is more sekyr a byrd in your fest, Than to haue three in the sky a-boue." [1, 2, 3]
  • Modern Wording: The exact modern wording we use today was popularized in 1670 by John Ray in his collection of proverbs. [1, 2]
Would you like to explore the meaning behind other medieval proverbs or learn more about the sport of falconry that inspired this phrase?
