Huntsville?

Can you say Huntsville, Alabama? Well, that didn't sound like proper southern talk, but it's ok. Even Wernher Magnus Maximilian Freiherr von Braun lived there after operation paperclip after November 16th of a certain year after WWII. The word after was deliberately placed repeatedly. Anyhow, you might think Trump doesn't know history. You might not afterwards!

Sharing Jesus Clarity from Arango's Apologetics Page

Just in case anyone feels guilty about packing at church. Maybe Minneapolis wouldn't have happened. I wrote the following last year on Arango's Apologetics. 

Jesus Clarity 

I hope everyone is doing well. This post will be brief. It is based on some things I have been dwelling on recently. Mainly, some things Jesus is credited for saying in Scriptures that may seem contradictory. I don’t claim to understand what he meant fully, but I also do not think he did not make any sense. I am not going to provide entire verses; however, I will give the citation to allow all to verify. Anyhow, here we go.

Possibly Jesus said, “if anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other also” He also said, “walk a second mile if someone asks you to walk one.” Hence: he never said to walk three miles. See Matthew 5:39.

Supposedly, Jesus said “one who has no sword must sell his cloak and buy one.” Basically, one needs to have a sword and can’t afford to be without one. Obviously, he didn't seem to believe in not defending oneself. Consequently, this seems to contrast the cheek turning thing a bit, if things escalated perhaps. See Luke 22:36.

Lastly, Jesus said, “be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.” I think this one is self-explanatory…don’t be fools, but also don’t be an arrogant a**hole. See Matthew 10:16.

In closing, I think all-around, Jesus was more about having balance. If we focus on one area of his teachings but neglect another, we get out of balance. Therefore, we should focus on all instead of one thing. Blessings!

On 99 red balloons

Can "99 Red Balloons" trigger a FAA alert?

Google AI answered the following.

While the song "99 Red Balloons" depicts a scenario where balloons are mistaken for hostile entities, leading to a military alert and ultimately nuclear conflict, the likelihood of 99 red balloons causing a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) alert in reality is extremely low, but not entirely impossible under specific circumstances. 

In closing, I hope this answers any questions.

The slogan

Drain the swamp needs to be the main slogan and cause again soon. Moreover, the widespread swamp, because it extends from D.C. to local governments. If we do not get rid of the democrat and republican establishment government corruption, we will never make America great because it will collapse sooner or later.

Don't

Don't assume! Especially, if it's based on media information. For instance, just because Trump meets with Putin doesn't mean we know the topic of ....

On Colbert

My advice to Stephen Colbert besides doing a podcast would have been to try and figure out why Gutfeld has been holding on to the number one spot to be able to compete. I am sure supply and demand plays a huge role. Moreover, I am also sure everyone can still learn from Johnny Carson, even after all this time.

On believing

Believing that something is true does not make it true, or false. However, if something is true, it's true whether one believes in it, or not.

Beta Taurids

Beta Taurids are the same meteoroid stream as the Taurids (which form a meteor shower in late October). The Earth intersects this stream of debris twice, once in late October and once in late June, forming two separate meteor showers. However, because the October event occurs at night, it is far more visible and better known than the Beta Taurids, which peak during daylight hours

- Wikipedia 

Note to self: the Taurids contain anywhere from 100 to 200 asteroids that are about 1 kilometer in length. One of those alone could wipeout an entire European country. For some reason most humans have no clue about this. Basically, many of us could see the end in the next couple of weeks.

Flags of allegiance

If you go around waving flags from other countries in protest, obviously your allegiance is to that country. Go home and protest in that country instead of blocking streets endangering lives in another country that isn't yours.

On Bono, De Niro, and Springsteen

Standing up to someone to whom Hollywood and corporate media are against quite often doesn't make one a tough guy. That's an easy task. Having the confidence that media will back one up isn't a challenge at all. Using a venue or a soapbox in which one will not be confronted with an opposing view is easy to do. This happens quite often lately.

We've seen this done very often in commencement address speeches in which the speaker makes attacks at president Trump, for example, having the confidence that no-one will be able to come up to challenge their rhetoric. When elebrities do this, it's obvious they're simply trying to be or continue being popular. These personality types are plentiful, and come a dime a dozen in that category. Going against powerful institutions like corporate media without any support or backing, and going against the flow, however, does make one tough. Spreading the truth instead of lies while  knowing it will not render popularity is admirable. People who do this have amazing and outstanding character. I will stop here and address the title of this post.

F*ck people like Bono, De Niro, and Springsteen. And also, those similar personality types that do not make this world a better place, but instead they are selfish and pseudo-empathetic. Moreover, they interfere with the positive work of many others who are truly good persons. I recommend reading my post, On Virtue Signaling on the sibling blogs.

WEEKEND AT B****’S?

Sadly, and I mean very sad, the whole Weekend at Bernie's metaphor which many were using with relevance to the Biden Administration appears to be more literal each day that passes by. I recommend watching the film if you don't understand. I don't want to spoil it, but the plot is basically about a couple of guys that play along and pretend about something in order to continue enjoying a big bash there boss was throwing at his beach house. Have fun!
