Well Wishes From an Enlightened Man...

 When fascism came to America it came clutching a bible and waving the flag.  On January 20, 2025.


When you run after your thoughts, you are like a dog chasing a stick: every time a stick is thrown, you run after it. Instead, be like a lion who, rather than chasing after the stick, turns to face the thrower. One only throws a stick at a lion once.

Milarepa 

“Just as it is known that an image of one's face is seen depending on a mirror but does not really exist as a face, so the conception of "I" exist dependent on mind and body, but like the image of a face the "I" does not at all exist as its own reality."   Nagarjuna

"Thanks to impermanence, everything is possible.  Nagarjuna


Wise words and well wishes from perhaps one of the world's greatest and mot ethical spirituals teaches and leaders.


Congratulating Donald TrumpNovember 7, 2024

Thekchen Chöling, Dharamsala, HP, India - His Holiness the Dalai Lama has written to congratulate Donald Trump on his victory in the Presidential election.

“I have long admired the United States of America as the champion of democracy, freedom and the rule of law,” he wrote. “The world places great hope in the democratic vision and leadership of the U.S.A. In these times of great uncertainty and upheaval in several parts of the world, it is my hope that you will provide leadership in bringing about peace and stability.

“The Tibetan people and I have been honoured to have received the support of respective U.S. Presidents and the American people, in our endeavour to protect and preserve our ancient Buddhist culture—a culture of peace, non-violence and compassion that has the potential to benefit humanity as a whole.

His Holiness concluded, “I wish you every success in meeting the many challenges that lie ahead in fulfilling the hopes and aspirations of the American people and in contributing to peace in the world.”


If the FOTUS even read this  it is likely, even probable, that he chortled, snickered, and snorted as i landed in the trash.

The FOTUS hasn't the intellect or decency to grasp such profound words of grace.

He has proven it time and time again.

Karl Rove on His 2013 Predictions and More...

Image
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth I am so pleased this afternoon. Following a very enjoyable luncheon with none other than my ever engaging and intuitive as well as highly intelligent better half I came home to find Karl Rove's report on his 2013 predictions. A real treat if 1)you're a republican or 2) you happen to be in the mood for a chuckle. Something the "White Chalk Board Man" never fails to provide. Mr. Rove, the dude that has successfully built and or maintained the current GOP box the faithful find themselves locked into gave a brief but informative who-ah for himself on 2013 and as well as his 2014 predictions. A veritable treat if ya have some time to waste. Read Karl Rove's "My Fearless Political Predictions For 2014" below the fold.

Senator Paul Questions the President's Moral Authority to Lead...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Li berty -vs- Tyr anny I like Rand Paul. In some ways he is a breath of fresh air in an otherwise boring and oh so predictable and stale chamber. Having said this, and yes I think we need to resolve the IRS "scandal" as quickly and ethically as possible, to question the President's moral authority to lead over this is premature and questionable at best at this precise point in time. Especially in light of the small matter that the man in charge when the IRS "scandal" begin was a GWB appointee. From Mediaite - Appearing on This Week on Sunday morning, Rand Paul challenged President Barack Obama‘s moral standing in the wake of multiple controversies. “The constellation of these three scandals ongoing really takes away from the President’s moral authority to lead this nation,” Paul said. “Nobody questions his legal authority, but I think he’s really losing the moral authority.” “I don’t care whether you’re a Repub...

( Win McNamee / Getty Images / July 16 , 2013 ) The following article from the opinion pages of the liberal Los Angeles Times is without need of  further comment. By David A. Lehrer and Joe R. Hicks - During the week since the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the death of Trayvon Martin, the responses to the tragic event, the trial and the verdict have been predictable. That an unarmed youth lost his life and the perpetrator of the act walked free catalyzed angry and sometimes violent street protests. However unfortunate, that is hardly surprising.
