STUDY: Americans in Republican Led States Die Younger...
Americans die younger in states run by conservatives, study finds...
More liberal policies on environment, gun safety, labor, economic taxes and tobacco taxes associated with lower mortality.
Darwin spoke of Survival of the Fittest... Republicans are Simply NOT the Fittest and are Reproducing their Defective Genes at a slower Rate... That's why they are so concerned about "Replacement Theory"
On a Happier Note!
CHRISTMAS BEGINS!
"thanksgiving is over now it's on to good tidings and all that rigmarole swapping bird fixings for tree trimming.
having worst thanksgiving ever and not having leftovers to contend with it's full speed ahead prepping for saint nick.
as motel six says we'll leave the light on christmas eve.
and after santa delivers his presents we'll share some with the son of the one.
and wish him merry christmas christ kid."

Prepare yourself to spend time alone if you choose to live a life of honesty and integrity.
If you choose to live a life of freedom, wellness and truth, the pop culture narrative will not appreciate it to say the least.
That’s ok though, let the sheep roam, you cannot stop them from fulfilling their destiny of creating a world full of idiots.
You have your own life to live.
You need to focus on your life and attracting your tribe.
You cannot save people that don’t want to be saved, by attempting that you will slow down you process and possibly drown yourself.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
This is as much of a warning as a call to action.
“Everything popular is wrong”
- Oscar Wilde
Instead of doing what everyone else is doing, use this time to clean up your temple(body), to sit with your fears, to write out your thoughts, to spend time in nature, to read some old books.
Look around you, do you want to live like they do? Do you want to be constantly engulfed in the drama? To be triggered? To be sick and deteriorating?
Or do you want to experience something better?
Your choice.
Happy holidays fockers.
With strength and courage

Someone Asked:
In your opinion, what are the pros and cons of self publishing? through amazon, for example?
We self published 12 Copies of the Vanderlaan Family History... including all the photographs from that shoebox Dad Had... and Every Written word by my ancestors... PLUS... My Brother "Interviewed" Everyone and Simply Wrote down what they said... EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE FOR ALL OF US... Totally Unimportant to the Rest of the World... Many of those documents I Had Never Read... For Example: A Letter from My Mother to the US Military Draft Board on Why My Brother Should be Granted a Conscience Objector Status and NOT Sent to Vietnam... SO... Do IT! Self Publishing is Fantastic...
I read Three Excellent Self Published Books by Richard Warren Field... He's a High School Classmate of Mine and TOTALLY WORTHY!

Is Trump The Anti Christ? or Just a Slave of Satan? EXORCISM NEEDED NOW!
In my honest opinion this is happening now and began in 2015 when the evil scum began spewing and spreading hate towards all races and groups that are not “white”….
There is only one way to stop this evil manipulator is to destroy him with Our faith in God. I got the following from this site
It seems like it pertains to what is going on now…
The false prophet of the end times is described in Revelation 13:11-15. He is also referred to as the “second beast” (Revelation 13:11; 16:13, 19:20, 20:10). Together with the Antichrist and Satan, who empowers both of them, the false prophet is the third party in the unholy trinity
The apostle John describes this person and gives us clues to identifying him when he shows up. First, he comes out of the earth. This could mean he comes up from the pit of hell with all the demonic powers of hell at his command. It could also mean he comes from lowly circumstances, secret and unknown until he bursts on the world stage at the right hand of the Antichrist. He is depicted as having horns like a lamb, while speaking like a dragon. The horns on lambs are merely small bumps on their heads until the lamb grows into a ram. Rather than having the Antichrist’s multiplicity of heads and horns, showing his power and might and fierceness, the false prophet comes like a lamb, winsomely, with persuasive words that elicit sympathy and good will from others. He may be an extraordinary preacher or orator whose demonically empowered words will deceive the multitudes. But he speaks like a dragon, which means his message is the message of a dragon. Revelation 12:9 identifies the dragon as the devil and Satan.
Verse 12 gives us the false prophet’s mission on earth, which is to force humanity to worship the Antichrist. He has all the authority of the Antichrist because, like him, the false prophet is empowered by Satan. It is not clear whether people are forced to worship the Antichrist or whether they are so enamored of these powerful beings that they fall for the deception and worship him willingly. The fact that the second beast uses miraculous signs and wonders, including fire from heaven, to establish the credibility of both of them would seem to indicate that people will fall before them in adoration of their power and message. Verse 14 goes on to say the deception will be so great that the people will set up an idol to the Antichrist, "the image of the beast," and worship it. This is reminiscent of the huge golden image of Nebuchadnezzar (Daniel 3) before which all were to bow down and pay homage. Revelation 14:9-11, however, describes the ghastly fate that awaits those who worship the image of the Antichrist.
Those who survive the terrors of the tribulation to this point will be faced with two hard choices. Those who refuse to worship the image of the beast will be subject to death (Revelation 13:15), but those who do worship him will incur the wrath of God. The image will be extraordinary in that it will be able to “speak.” Whatever the image is (a statue? a hologram? an android? a human-animal hybrid? a clone?), it will have some kind of ability to breathe forth the message of the Antichrist and the false prophet. Along with being the spokesman for them, the image will condemn to death those who refuse to worship the unholy pair. In our technological world, it is not hard to imagine such a scenario.
Whoever the false prophet turns out to be, the final world deception and the final apostasy will be great, and the whole world will be caught up in it. The deceivers and false teachers we see today are the forerunners of the Antichrist and the false prophet, and we must not be deceived by them. These false teachers abound, and they are moving us toward a final satanic kingdom. We must faithfully proclaim the saving gospel of Jesus Christ and rescue the souls of men and women from the coming disaster.
Help me remember:
When I was a kid growing up in Los Gatos, there was this fruit that I ate and I can't remember its name. What I remember is that it was like an apricot, but it had maybe 3 pits that were sort of slimy. Maybe it grew in the area, I don't remember. Anybody know?
Well, in the middle of the night the answer finally came to me, and confirmed here in this thread: loquat. I had been mixing it up in my mind with kumquat, which I knew wasn't the right answer, kumquat being a tiny citrus fruit. I don't remember how I had access to loquats, but I remember eating them. I remember that the seeds took up quite a bit of the bulk of the fruit. Can you buy them at a grocery store?

I'd like to share one of the many things I love about the teachings that Ram Dass shared with us -I love that it is through my direct experience with Spirit that I am led. In quoting the third great patriarch of something I can't remember Ram Dass often reminds us that "the Great Way is not difficult for those who have no preferences"
After my kids left their bodies everything took on new meaning and my entire reason for being is being redefined. I am freshly sober since the first Monday of june 2022 and I am developing a non bias take on life and my part in it... The following came to me about an hour ago...
I've created a really tough imaginary dilemma for myself that I have to use real world "stuff" to overcome...
Regardless-I'm now slightly more in tune with the feelings that were involved and the choices I made that invoked them.
I am beginning to love how my sober mind works-it's pretty amazing to observe myself from a viewpoint that's sort of like watching a movie, except it's more like the raw script, pre first draft while there are still so many different choices...What's really enlightening is watching my sub conscious self zip on past all the choices, as if they're not even there along a fixed and repetitive route the perpetually leads to the same unsatisfactory results every single time.
It's quite comical, really; and it's not like one piece of daily life here and there, It's the whole friggin puzzle! So, what is comical is when I catch my observing self wandering off into the vast abyss, hand in hand with my sub conscious self. I used be provoked when this happened, but I can't help but chuckle now-and bless them with Godspeed-they served their purpose well...
and I Replied:
Thanks for Sharing... I found that Quitting Drinking and Smoking made my thoughts more clear... I was able to understand more and - Write better... and Sing Better... and Get Stuff Done! I published about 10 Music Videos while Smoking Marijuana and Tobacco... and then I Published about a Hundred after I quit.

Thanks for the add, and apologies if this has been done to death but...I have been playing for years (about 40?) and I'm in a pub rock band but I have never got my head around theory. I bang away using blues scale for everything. I've bought books over the years and I kind of understand things but it is not like it feels part of my language. Like, I've played with people who understand theory and they will throw things at me like "are you playing the 3rd there?" or "how about adding the 9th to that chord?" and it's not like I have no idea what they are saying but I need a reference book, pencil and paper to work it out. For them, it just seems like they are fluent in the language of music, while I'm struggling along with a phrase book!
Recently I've been watching some podcasts where people break songs down and point out that some well known songs have solos in the wrong key and things like that - really interesting and it sounds much better in the right key...although I would never have noticed there was anything 'wrong'.
I guess I'm wondering - how do I get fluent in music theory? I suppose it's practice...but I have no real reason to practice. By which I mean, I play covers in the band...so I learn the song then play it. So, theory isn't a huge part of my day to day.
Anyway - sorry for the long post. Any advice gratefully received!

“This is what you shall do; Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons and with the young and with the mothers of families, read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life, re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency not only in its words but in the silent lines of its lips and face and between the lashes of your eyes and in every motion and joint of your body.”

We’d better start to elect more fair minded intelligent lawmakers to begin with who actually value human lives over a powerful lobbying group who doesn’t seem to care about anyone other than themselves in my opinion. I’m for the right to bear arms, but in a reasonable responsible way. In my opinion there’s no civilian justifiable reason for owning and using military grade automatic/semiautomatic weapons. Responsible law abiding gun owners will tell you that the majority of them support common sense gun laws in this country. Some of the very people who carry on about their freedoms are actually taking away far too many other people’s freedoms in my opinion. If this public killing spree is allowed to continue in this country, mark my words it will eventually cripple our very way of lives and severely inhibit our businesses as well as our economy in my opinion. You might ask how. People are already starting to be cautious in public. Even a car back firing at a mall can cause a stir. People want to have their loved ones and themselves safe in public as well as private settings. Something that Americans never gave a second thought too even ten years ago, as in going to the grocery store, a movie, a concert, the mall, going to a place of business, have all been scared by mass shootings. The confidence in American’s feeling secure in public settings is eroding at the hands of one powerful lobby group. I say why do they get to determine Americans safety and security for their own benefits? More and more businesses are going to feel the pinch of gunmen with an agenda dictating where people actually shop and socialize in my opinion. Will America get its act together and stop letting a lobby group dictate to us? I hope and pray we do. Not only do lives literally depend upon it. America itself does too
