The tide begins to turn for removing Trump from office.
With the senate trial not even beginning yet, most Americans are in favor of Trump being removed from office. That will likely increase, as the trial proceeds.

CNN poll: 51% say Senate should remove Trump from office
By Jennifer Agiesta, CNN Polling Director 1/20/2020
According to a new CNN poll, 51 percent of Americans say the Senate should vote to remove Mr. Trump from office while 45 percent support his acquittal. And nearly 70 percent say the trial should feature testimony from new witnesses.
(CNN)About half of Americans say the Senate should vote to convict President Donald Trump and remove him from office in the upcoming impeachment trial (51%), according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS, while 45% say the Senate should vote against conviction and removal.
Nearly seven in 10 (69%) say that upcoming trial should feature testimony from new witnesses who did not testify in the House impeachment inquiry. And as Democrats in the Senate seek to persuade at least four Republican senators to join them on votes over allowing witnesses in the trial, the Republican rank and file are divided on the question: 48% say they want new witnesses, while 44% say they do not.
The poll is the first major national telephone poll since the articles of impeachment were sent to the Senate, formally launching Trump's trial there. They are also the first such poll results since Soviet-born businessman Lev Parnas, an associate of Trump's attorney Rudy Giuliani, publicly implicated the President in the Ukrainian pressure campaign during a series of television interviews.
The new poll also finds majorities of Americans view each of the charges on which Trump will face trial as true: 58% say Trump abused the power of the presidency to obtain an improper personal political benefit and 57% say it is true that he obstructed the House of Representatives in its impeachment inquiry.
Massive partisan gaps continue to dominate views on Trump and his impeachment trial. Overall, 89% of Democrats say he should be removed from office, while just 8% of Republicans feel the same way. Among independents, it's nearly dead even: 48% say the Senate should vote to remove him, while 46% say that they should not. Views on whether Trump should be impeached and removed are also evenly split across battleground states, 49% are on each side across the 15 states decided by 8 points or less in 2016. Those states are Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin.
Beyond partisanship, there are wide divisions in the poll by gender, race, education and age. Nearly 6 in 10 women (59%) say the Senate should remove Trump from office; 42% of men agree. Among African Americans, 86% say Trump should be removed. That drops to 65% among Hispanics and 42% among whites.
Combining race and gender, about eight in 10 women of color (79%) say he should be removed. That dips to 59% among non-white men, 49% among white women and 33% among white men. For whites, education adds another degree of division: 59% of white women with college degrees say the Senate should remove Trump, compared with 43% among white women without degrees, 44% among white men with degrees and 27% among white men without college degrees. A majority (56%) of those under age 45 say the President should be removed, while older Americans are more evenly split.

I'm curious about "OBAMACARE RFID CHIP" all american must to use RFID?? Is it related to the mark of beast...???
Aliens..........
Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 was the first large group to move groups of humans to safety,will be more unexplainable group disappearances.Aliens..already ruling the earth
(Diapers)....Quite the attracton!!!
The headline was to suck you in, I'll discuss the diapers at the end of the blog. Now this is important to me. This blog is not about receiving accolades it's about Conflict so please refrain from such...thank you
Let me begin by saying my mom was an excellent cook and I learned a lot from her. She would be always taking cooking classes and became quite the gourmet cook. When she made a great meal and we all told her so, we would never see that meal again. Conflict. So, I learned quickly, when she would ask how was the meal I would say ah, it was OK. If it wasn't five star or as you Brits would say, have a Michelin rating she would keep making it till she got it right. Conflict resolved.
I only eat organic /non-GMO foods, I guess about 95% of the time. I am very aware of toxic chemicals and preservatives. The other 5% are foods like watermelons, cantaloupes, honeydews that are not sold organically.
Here's the conflict:
Ever month for my church I go on a food shopping spree and buy food and stuff for the poor. I go to a food distributor who sells 'bulk' items so it makes it easier to carry and deliver and cheaper as well. The food I buy is all processed foods and stuff I would never eat myself. I do look at the ingredients and disregard some items that I'm 100% positive are very toxic. I will not purchase any sodas or juice drinks.
I can't get out of my head that I'm being a hypocrite and buying food that I would not eat myself. So, I chat internally with myself every time I shop, saying it's for the poor people it doesn't matter. Well, it obviously does matter, as I'm writing this blog at 5 AM lying in bed feeling guilty that I'm doing the wrong thing. They don't sell these kinds of foods organically, so that's not an option......
We all suffer through conflicts in our lives, no matter where you are on this bouncing ball they call earth. Some conflicts are easily rectified others not so much.
Ok, back to the diapers. A couple of months back as I was food shopping I had a few boxes of diapers on my skid. A woman comes up to me and says..Wow, that's a lot of diapers. I couldn't resist, I told her my wife was on fertility pills and we are now the proud parents of sextuplets. The look on her face was priceless. I then told her the truth that it was for charity and I could see a glow on her face and smoke coming from her ears. We chatted exchanged numbers had coffee and started dating......so guys load those shopping carts/trolleys with diapers it really works
Conflict not resolved and probably will never be, I'm usually good at giving advice, but when it comes to me....not so much....

Treasury must turn over Trump’s taxes to Congress, the Justice Dept. says.
By Katie Benner, Katie Rogers and Nicholas Fandos
July 30, 2021, 2:13 p.m. ET
The Treasury Department must turn over former President Donald J. Trump’s tax returns to congressional investigators, the Justice Department said in a legal opinion issued on Friday that potentially paves the way for their release after a years long fight.
The House Ways and Means Committee had requested Mr. Trump’s tax returns for the years immediately before he became president as part of its review of the Internal Revenue Service’s presidential audit program. The Trump administration stymied the request and the committee sued to obtain the documents.
That review is a valid reason for the request, the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel said in an opinion. “The chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee has invoked sufficient reasons for requesting the former president’s tax information,” the opinion said. “Treasury must furnish the information to the committee.”
The determination by the Justice Department comes more than a year after the Supreme Court ruled that Mr. Trump’s tax returns must be shared with the Manhattan district attorney’s office, which had sought them as part of a criminal investigation into the Trump Organization.
The Treasury Department intends to provide the documents to Congress as part of ongoing litigation, according to an administration official.
But the development does not necessarily mean that Mr. Trump’s tax information would immediately become public. Rules governing the sharing of sensitive tax information with the Ways and Means Committee require the panel to hold formal votes if it wants to share any of the information with the broader House or the public, or even include it in a committee report released to the public.
“As I have maintained for years, the committee’s case is very strong and the law is on our side,” Representative Richard E. Neal, Democrat of Massachusetts and chair of the Ways and Means Committee, said in a statement. “I am glad that the Department of Justice agrees and that we can move forward.”
Speaker Nancy Pelosi called access to Mr. Trump’s tax returns “a matter of national security” and said that “the American people deserve to know the facts of his troubling conflicts of interest and undermining of our security and democracy as president.”
Later on Friday, the committee and the Justice Department will inform the court that the executive branch intends to furnish the documents to Congress, according to multiple administration officials.
The court will then set a briefing schedule that will determine the next steps.

New Zealand - What we know so far:
At least one gunman opened fire at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, at 1.40pm local time on Friday
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has declared the attack a terrorist attack
49 people have been killed - 41 were killed at Masjid Al Noor Mosque, seven at Linwood Masjid Mosque and one died at hospital
48 people were rushed to hospital with gunshot wounds and 20 are in critical condition
A gunman live-streamed his deadly attack on Facebook using a GoPro in footage too distressing to show
It was posted on a Facebook page belonging to Brenton Tarrant
It is understood the killer is an Australian who published a chilling 74-page manifesto before the rampage
Cops have arrested three men and a woman, with initial reports of one wearing a suicide vest proven incorrect
A 28-year-old man has been charged with murder and will appear in court tomorrow
Two others remain in custody and it is not clear if the fourth person was involved in the attack
Police are searching a property on Somerville Street, Dunedin in relation to today's attack
New Zealand and Australian authorities have confirmed the suspects were not on any watch lists
The Bangladesh cricket team were at one of the mosques and escaped the shooting
Cops defused improvised explosives found on nearby booby-trapped cars
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern called it "one of New Zealand's darkest days"
New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern declared the mosque massacres a "terrorist attack" and said it was one of the country's "darkest days".
Three men and one woman are in custody following the shootings at Masjid Al Noor Mosque and Linwood Masjid Mosque in Christchurch at around 1.40pm local time.
Initial reports one of those arrested was wearing a suicide vest were incorrect, as cops warned "let's not presume the danger has gone".
New Zealand Police commissioner Mike Bush said a man in his late twenties has been charged with murder and will appear in court tomorrow.
He added police were still trying to establish if the other three were involved, though one likely had "nothing to do with this incident".
Police also defused a number of improvised explosives which were found on nearby booby-trapped cars following the bloodbath.
Ardern confirmed 41 people were killed at the Masjid Al Noor Mosque and a further seven were killed at the Linwood Masjid Mosque. One person later died from their wounds at hospital.
As she raised the country's security to the highest level, the PM said: "It is clear that this can now only be described as a terrorist attack."
She said the four people in police custody held extremist views, but had not been on any police watchlists.
"It's not a matter of someone having slipped under the radar," the PM said.
One white-supremacist gunmen filmed the footage - too shocking to show in its entirety - on a GoPro camera and streamed it to a Facebook page.
He fired automatic weapons as people ran for their lives and executed people at point blank range - including one girl who lay on the floor screaming for help.

Starting developing Dungeor
Dungeor Development #001
Today I started to develop my first RPG Dungeor.
After starting area, I have now created the first dungeon. Only in this will make it possible to begin the actual main quest line.
I want to build in front of many different factors, stories and events from real life into it.
However, this is less true events will be, as more innuendo or Eastereggs to the the creative things that have already been created by human. Less in the sense of the copy, rather a integrated into the storyline allusion to existing things, which I then continued put themselves in a story specially created.
One can imagine it as if I would come to an end of something. It then transformed into a beginning and then insert himself a new ending to this new beginning. As with a book. Instead of having to read 900 pages of the book to the end, I write simply continue after the end.
Apart from a few fine optical cuts Finally, here I am done with the mapping. Now i'm going in the night shift for the event creation.
Have a gn8 ;)
