  117.   Should a person commit evil, let him not do it again and again. Let him not find pleasure therein, for painful is the accumulation of evil. 121.   Think not lightly of evil, saying, "It will not come to me." Drop by drop is the water pot filled. Likewise, the fool, gathering it little by little, fills himself with evil. 125.   Like fine dust thrown against the wind, evil falls back upon that fool who offends an inoffensive, pure and guiltless man. 127  . Neither in the sky nor in mid-ocean, nor by entering into mountain clefts, nowhere in the world is there a place where one may escape from the results of evil deeds Dhammapada Evil can manifest itself in many ways. Also through many channels. And, it can and does sometime mix with good. We have recently seen the later manifest in American politics and government. The channel is Donald J. Trump and those in government and the general population who supported him and continue to s...

Below are the two most recent Lincoln Project ad spots. It is becoming increasingly evident that not only must America defeat Trump on November 3'rd 2020, we must also defeat the GOP, a party that has become so corrupted by Trumpism that the health and well being of our democratic republic is at grave risk right now.  While I personally would prefer a less stridently liberal democratic agenda the truth is, if we continue down the road the corrupt GOP and its even more corrupt president has this nation on this nation will lose every bit of the credibility we once had amongst the free nations of the world. And rightly so. As well as experiencing a tyranny we have never known before. Vote Democratic Across The Board Nationally This November 3'rd 2020! July 8, 2020 - The Lincoln Project ’s latest ad, “Names,” laments the Republican Senators who have flagrantly violated their oaths of office to protect President Donald Trump. Reed Galen, co-founder of The Lincoln Project, s...

Was not going to do a post today. Posting has been sporadic and not consistent, and, it will remain that way well into the distant future. Time has grown too precious to waste good productive hours or minutes babbling on about political stuff  that half the nation doesn't worry or care about anyway. Don't even get that warm and fuzzy feeling when post are completed and published. But today I was doing some random reading and just happened to come across an article I found as interesting as I found not unusual. It seems as though Christians (in this case we assume the majority are Evangelicals) are getting into, gasp, porn of all things. Rather than spending any more precious time writing more I'll just copy and paste the entire piece. Without further ado here is...

We all know by now, or should know anyway, that DJT is a reality show POTUS. He is one who craves the attention that the media falls all over itself to give him. Trump is addicted to the limelight cable news, print media, and electronic media provide him 24/7. Bluntly stated Trump is a media whore who needs the media every bit as much, if not more, than the media needs him. From Th e Washington Post : In President Trump’s interview with the New York Times, he declared: Another reason that I’m going to win another four years is because newspapers, television, all forms of media will tank if I’m not there. Because without me, their ratings are going down the tubes. Without me, the New York Times will indeed be not the failing New York Times, but the failed New York Times. So they basically have to let me win. And eventually, probably six months before the election, they’ll be loving me because they’re saying, “Please, please, don’t lose Donald Trump.” On one level, the comment i...
