I was kinda hoping...
I was kinda hoping the Republican party would come to their senses about pledging support for Trump. Billionaire Charles Koch has begun running anti-Trump ads. Media mogul Rupert Murdoch who defended Trump for the past six years, has viciously turned on Trump. Chris Christie has stated Trump is all about Trump and not about the American people. George Conway has been appearing on several news and talk shows predicting Trump's fall via the legal system.
These are all Republicans who didn't drink the Cool-Aid.
Who knows, if the documents case gets postponed until after the election, he could have a nice office in prison.

Let us never Forget the Boston Massacre and lead forever England the oppressor.
NOTE: This thread is about the Boston Massacre. All unrelated post will be towed away sooner or later.
On this day in 1770, tensions between British soldiers and American colonists erupt. British soldiers fire into a crowd in an event that came to be known as the Boston Massacre.
For the next several years, an oration was given on the anniversary of that terrible tragedy. Speakers commemorated the event—but also urged their fellow colonists to action.
War against Great Britain loomed. “If you, with united zeal and fortitude, oppose the torrent of oppression,” Joseph Warren asserted in his 1772 oration, “if you feel the true fire of patriotism burning in your breasts . . . you may have the fullest assurance that tyranny, with her whole accursed train, will hide their hideous heads in confusion, shame and despair.”
He expressed confidence that the “SAME ALMIGHTY Being” who’d helped Americans in the past would help again. “May we ever be a people favoured of GOD,” he concluded. “May our land be a land of liberty, the seat of virtue . . . .”
John Hancock echoed such themes in 1774. “I glory in publicly avowing my eternal enmity to tyranny,” he declared. He, too, sought divine assistance in fighting British tyranny.
“et us humbly commit our righteous cause to the great Lord of the Universe,” he concluded, “who loveth righteousness and hateth iniquity. And having secured the approbation of our hearts, by a faithful and unwearied discharge of our duty to our country, let us joyfully leave our concerns in the hands of him who raiseth up and pulleth down the empires and kingdoms of the world as he pleases . . . .”
Would our Founders still think we were resisting tyranny? Would they wonder why we don’t seek divine assistance? Would they be surprised that abandoning some of these principles has left us so angry and divided?

I do not like the idea of Marxism and Communism anywhere in the United States of America.
"The U.S.A.'s National Motto ‘In God we Trust’ was adorned above the rostrum in the House of Representatives (Lower Chamber) as a rebuke of the cold war era philosophy of the Soviet Union. That philosophy was Marxism and Communism which begins with the premise that there is no God."

Biden is Succeeding at helping the USA citizens long term
Sure, Biden hasn't been perfect. He's made some mistakes.
However, he inherited a terrible mess from the previous "so-called" president,
and has in most situations, however not all, made things much better.
Most importantly, he is changing America long term for the better.
He's been helping the downtrodden to have a better life in America,
helping close the gap between the haves and the have nots.
It's ironic, that many of those downtrodden don't yet approve of his presidency.
Perhaps that will change, as they slowly better understand how Biden is helping.
Time will tell.

Joe Biden came to the White House at a pivotal moment in American history. We had become a country dividing into two nations, one highly educated and affluent and the other left behind. The economic gaps further inflamed cultural and social gaps, creating an atmosphere of intense polarization, cultural hostility, alienation, bitterness and resentment.
As president, Biden had mostly economic levers to try to bridge this cold civil war. He championed three gigantic pieces of legislation to create a more equal, more just and more united society: the COVID stimulus bill, the infrastructure bill and what became Build Back Better, to invest in human infrastructure.
All of these bills were written to funnel money to the parts of the country that were less educated, less affluent, left behind. Adam Hersh, a visiting economist at the Economic Policy Institute, projects that more than 80% of the new jobs created by the infrastructure plan will not require a college degree.
These gigantic proposals were bold endeavors. Some thought them too bold. Economist Larry Summers thought the stimulus package, for example, was too big. It could overstimulate the economy and lead to inflation.
Larry is one of the most intelligent people I’ve ever known and someone I really admire. If I were an economist, I might have agreed with him. But I’m a journalist with a sociological bent. For over a decade I have been covering a country that was economically, socially and morally coming apart. I figured one way to reverse that was to turbocharge the economy and create white-hot labor markets that would lift wages at the bottom. If inflation was a byproduct, so be it. The trade-off is worth it to prevent a national rupture.
The Biden $1.9 trillion stimulus package passed and has been tremendously successful. It heated the overall economy. The Conference Board projects that real GDP growth will be about 5% this quarter. The unemployment rate is falling. Retail sales are surging. Two-thirds of Americans feel their household’s financial situation is good.
But the best part is that the benefits are flowing to those down the educational and income ladder. In just the first month of payments, the expanded Child Tax Credit piece of the stimulus bill kept 3 million American children out of poverty. Pay for hourly workers in the leisure and hospitality sector jumped 13% in August compared with the previous year. By June, there were more nonfarm job openings than there had been at any time in American history. Workers have tremendous power these days.
The infrastructure bill Biden just signed will boost American productivity for years to come. As Ellen Zentner of Morgan Stanley told The Economist recently, it’s a rule of thumb that an extra $100 billion in annual infrastructure spending could increase growth by roughly a tenth of a percentage point — which is significant in an economy the size of ours. Federal infrastructure spending will be almost as large a share of annual GDP as the average level during Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal.....

LEST WE FORGET
The War with Germany has started.
The war broke out in ‘40. I was three years old, having been born in September of ‘37. “My dad went to Germany he would not be back for several years. He went there out of his own free will, believing that he could do more for his family that way.
My dad loved the German people and they loved him. (Not the Nazi’s)
Dad was able to send money home and other people who were
forced to work for the German Nazi’s, were not able to do this.
It was up to my mom now to take care of her two children my sister Greetje and I, and find food for us all.
Living in the North of Holland, only several hours away from the farmers, the first few years were not too bad for us, but that slowly changed.
My mother had to sell her best linens, her gold watch and sewing machine for food.
The farmers did not care to receive money as it was worth nothing, so anything of value had to go.
A bottle of oil, a very valued commodity, would sell for $250.00 guilders.
My mother would bring home dried fish that stank something awful. We had to eat it anyway.
Looking back it still amazes me how resourceful people are when they have to be.
I would go to where coal was loaded onto trains, and take with me a small broom and dustpan and bring home coal dust. We would chew tar and turned it into chewing gum. It also whitens your teeth.
You could do the same with grain. We kids would go to where the grain was being loaded onto trains, and we would pick up what had fallen on the ground. It takes a long time to chew that grain, but believe me it will turn into gum.
Sometimes we were lucky and had a piece of real chewing gum. We kids would take some sugar to give it some flavour again after we had been chewing it for some time and all the flavours had left.
At night we wound it around the iron bed post.
If friends had gum and asked if you wanted to come out and play with them, you would tell them: “Sure if I can have your gum.” “Okay but only for awhile”
Later came bubble gum, and because of the sharing, we would all have sores around our mouth.
Would you like to know what happens to gum if you chew it for days? It crumples up into nothing. (It does take several days)
We may have been kids but we did things that were beyond our age.
We would climb onto trucks loaded with sugar beets, and throw them off the truck so people could make sugar.
I remember that one day I was about six years old, when I was sent shopping at the corner store for groceries. I could see from the store the school the Germans occupied, as it was around the corner of our street.
I saw a truck heaped high with coal. I saw no Germans, so I climbed onto that truck and started to shove the coal down.
What was amazing was how quickly people realized what was going on. They came with buckets and pails to scoop up what they could. When others took over from me to shovel more coal down, I ran home to tell mother at home to get some for us too.
The Germans let us be for a while they must have known what was going on. Most of them were mere boys.
We were also sustained by the soup kitchen. One of our neighbours called to say that there was meat in the soup that day. Quickly I was sent to get some of that good stuff. In the meantime, our neighbours had found the source of the meat it was the tail of a mouse. I can't remember if we ate that soup.
During the German occupation you were not allowed to have a radio, they were all confiscated. Mother kept hers and it was connected together with a neighbours. Someone must have turned them in for the authorities came knocking one day. They asked her first how long she had that radio. She said the first thing that came to her mind, six months. They went to the neighbour next and asked him the same question. Unbelievably he gave the very same answer. Because of that, they were let go, after the radio was taken of course.

If it's true ... Maybe they had something to say
Scientists claim that they have discovered that there are an infinite number of parallel universes in which there is a slightly different person from the "I" among each of us. Most of all, each of us has an infinite number of "doubles", so to speak. There is basically an "I" and an "you" and any of us in each of these parallel universes.
For those who find it hard to believe this ... and wonder if that's the case, then where are they ..well they're not in outer space as you might think ... but it's a little more complicated than that ..Their explanation it would be that each body functions at a certain frequency .... the molecules move at a certain rate ... they vibrate at a certain frequency in each universe ..both ours and the other universes .... fact for which they can exist or coexist in the same place and yet in a different place each at the same time ... that is, as a position they are still here but in a different universe ... on a different frequency ..
Finally, I hope I have clarified this chapter ... because I would like to move on to today's topic.
If all this is true, I was thinking of children who die before they are born. Maybe they were conceived with a purpose, not by pure chance, and maybe their fate was cruel because the Creator decided so, but maybe, their conception, their coming into the world for a short period of time. it is not by chance, perhaps They lived a life somewhere in one or more of these parallel universes, perhaps their love for their family was so great that they wanted to make their presence known here as well. And perhaps, their journey in life, their purpose was achieved, which is why God decided to keep them with Him, but somehow they asked Him to give them the chance to make their presence known in other worlds where their family will continue to exist, to send a message. Maybe they just wanted to send a message, saying "hey, I was part of this family once, and I loved you so much, my dear parents. ..thank you for what you offered me when I lived with you, I love you "and so their life ends leaving a mark in our lives. A message of Farewell, attached to a bouquet of thanks and wrapped with love. I don't know if any of this is true or if it's just words and suspicions, but I think how nice it would be if that were the case. Maybe God created things we don't know, because we weren't taught or we weren't allowed to know, by people who can control the world ... Thank you for your attention.
