Wolff recounts Steve Bannon coming up to Jeffrey Epstein after the 2016 Election, and saying in front of Wolff, "You are the only one I was worried about."; losing them the election.

He plans to use this lawsuit to ask Melania about her and Trump's relationship to Epstein.

Obama might win that race even if he had to run from prison after Trump does what he's promised to do... make Obama next up for his Payback Prosecutions.

"So, as this begins, we see Trump putting on a king's crown and then adding a king's robe and pulling out a sword.

The camera pans to the right and we see Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer taking
a knee before the king.

The music you heard is from a band called Avenged Sevenfold and they've been around
quite a long time, at least 20 years. The song being played is Hail to the King from
2013."

I remember reading early on that Trump was a practitioner of Norman Vincent Peale's Power of Positive Thinking, but never really considered that his image making and affirmations and repetitive claims are his way of manifesting what he wants.

Not sure he got past the Gate.

Are we sure that Mexico isn't supposed to pay off the Debt, you know, like they did the Wall?

- made this about Biden yet.

That particular obfuscating logical fallacy Whataboutism should sue Trumpers here for Abuse!

It's really all they have, as Trump's actions and inactions are Indefensible, even for his most fawning sycophant Fascist Cult Members.

"WION out of India had a short report on how Trump is the new 'Messiah' for Israeli Jews.

Kingdom of God Within You? "

Luke 17:21 Revisited " Life and ...

The phrase "the kingdom of heaven is within you" comes from Luke 17:21, where Jesus explains to the Pharisees that the kingdom of God is not coming with signs but is already present.

While it can be interpreted as a spiritual transformation happening inside believers, many scholars believe "within you" is better translated as "among you" or "in your midst," meaning Jesus himself was the manifestation of the kingdom of God, present in his ministry, teachings, and miracles."

"Still, the U.S. credit rating is no longer top-rated at any of the three major ratings agencies, which have cited both unsustainable fiscal trends and recurring political gridlock.

These downgrades have had immediate consequences, placing further upward pressure on borrowing costs and raising questions about the long-term global standing of the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency.

"Adding trillion after trillion to the debt and budgeting-by-crisis is no way for a great nation like America to run its finances," Peterson said.

"Lawmakers should take advantage of the many responsible reforms available that would put our nation on a stronger path for the future."

"Ezekiel 23:19-21 uses graphic imagery to explain that the kingdoms of Israel (Oholah) and Judah (Oholibah) have repeatedly turned away from God to pursue foreign, pagan alliances and idolatry, which is described as spiritual adultery.

The explicit language, using comparisons to donkeys and horses, is a metaphor to emphasize the depth of their sin, their spiritual unfaithfulness, and the intense hurt this caused God, their "husband".

;;

"The verses highlight that Judah is even more corrupt than Israel because it had already witnessed Israel's downfall but still repeated the same mistakes."

Spiritual adultery: The primary meaning is that the unfaithfulness of the two kingdoms to God, their covenant partner, is like the most severe kind of adultery.

Shock value: The explicit and "shocking" imagery was used by the prophet Ezekiel to grab his audience's attention and impress upon them the severity of their sin and God's immense grief and anger."

Don't be jealous!

I had pure mescal once down in central Mexico with a college friend from there and his local amigos. They kept it soaking in large jars and served in in tiny cups. It was better than eating peyote, I'll say that.

TheBULL ------- Trump is a man date.

Astral projection was a thing that Anthropologist/shamanist/writer Castaneda focused on, and which I experienced briefly.

Two of my psych profs were partners in a Phantom Pain Clinic; where people suffered from, say pain in their foot after losing that leg, or in a hand after their arm was amputated.

I was a victim, er subject in a doctoral thesis experiment that taught us how to gain a very relaxed state, and manipulate things like body temperature, heart rate, and such that we were being monitored for... something that could be taught to their patients to help ease the pain.

The technique is now called Autogenic Relaxation and is quite popular today for any kind of stress.
I still practice it, along with breathing exercises like diaphragm breathing.

Controlling the body functions in a very relaxed state was not a matter of command or force, it was a matter of recognizing our feelings when we did see the needle move in the direction we wanted, then recalling those feelings to make it happen as we liked.

Sorta like Michael Jordon in a 'Zone' when shooting 3's; if you can recall how that FEELS, it's easier to do when you want.

So, one suddenly spring afternoon I was doing just that on the third floor of a tower building on campus, hooked up to the monitors, wishing I was outside in the sun... when I, my conscious self in a 'spirit' sort of shape, lifted up out of my body, flew joyously down the stairs and out into the day!

But it, unsurprisingly, freaked me out, and with a bit of a whoosh I flew even faster backwards through the doors, up the stairs and back into my body.

Sorry, no video exists!

Getting there is half the fun.

What I noted is planning for a balance.

- fiscal conservatives

No such thing in this Admin... a fair and balanced tax/benefit system will have to wait until bribing politicians to write laws for billionaires/corporations becomes illegal once more.

So, no time soon.

Sure... when and if the benefits out weight the costs as they do in northern European social democracies.

Where the happiest people in the world live.

"It can't happen here!"

Oh yes it is happening here.

Trump was saying at a Presser today that WE needed those Tomahawk missiles, so Ukraine couldn't have them. Presumably we need them to fire on Venezuela and Greenland.

He was one of my favorites in my major subject courses in college; a step up on Freud, much more interesting than the Behaviouralists.

Of course, I liked Carlos Castaneda, too, but we were trippin' back then. So was he!

He's been resisting even Republican Sens efforts to have him do this since he's been in Office.

It's very little very late.

No one would be surprised if they don't... as the Mob Boss, his favor is payment enough for one's loyalty; meaning not asking him to pay.

You don't know what you mean any more than we do. What you call blasphemy, scholars call the best translation and interpretation by prolly the best modern NT scholar.
