China has accused UK of harbouring Hong Kong fugitives and has put a bounty on the heads of these individuals. These people have come to the UK to escape the oppressive regime in HK, where they have voiced opposition to the undemocratic system set up by China.

Lots of news stories this week and one pertains to the president harping about fraudulent ballots to an election that hasn't taken place. He states in rallies he's not going to stand for a loss. I've also seen comments indicating he won't agree to a peaceful transition and he's claiming the only way he could lose is the election is if the Democrats cheat.
This level of BS make me wonder... how is is possible those 'Democrats' will cheat?

In previous elections, it was tampering (or at least claims of tampering) with voting machines by outside sources. In the upcoming election, due to virus concerns, it's expected citizens will be voting by mail-in ballot. I've seen a few videos on the process of checking signatures and marking in the system that a vote was cast... thus avoiding chances of fraud. That would make the president's complaints unfounded.

Setting the stage for an election like a Banana Republic is what I see here. Forget that part about being American was living in a country where the people decided (by vote) their choice in a president. We have a president who wants to rewrite our system of voting.

Eric Trump seems to have summed it up nicely, that his father would concede the election 'if he got blown out of the water' by Biden.
My response was: Ya think??

So, it's cheating if the win is marginal and can only be accepted if it's a landslide.
Right, that's how I see it. The vote regardless of your party (or non-party) must be a landslide win for Biden or Trump won't accept it.

Yes, I know I misspelled wizard. I'm off to run some errands this morning but caught a story about Trump and his 6 bankruptcies and how there were similarities in each. We could be watching his 7th in the making right now.
The presidential election is 3 weeks away and I'm seeing lots of political ads, many are back-to-back trying to persuade people to vote (or not vote) a certain way. While I'm not the person who likes to see false/decpetive advertising... as many of the ads are doing. If it were me, I'd run ads on fact. Trump is on the edge of financial disaster. Millions in loans due and no means to pay them off. That would be the strongest case (in my opinion) that the wrong person is 'running the ship' unless you want to say he's ruining the ship and that would make him a Financial Wizaed...

A new source of tension

Right, Donald Trump was elected as the next President of the United States but nothing has changed. The USA is still intact, the world is still spinning round its own axis every 24 hours, and the stock markets did not collapse.

In fact, the only abnormality was a rather large full moon but as I understand it, that had nothing to do with US politics. While NASA is not accepting liability, they did admit that their engineers are working on it and according to their spokesman, that will be remedied very soon.

So, a rather tame entry for such a large Trump.

Quite unlike my cousin Don – also a Donald but he made his grand slam in no Trumps.

Now, did he make an impact upon his entry into this world!!

He was born on 29 April 1945 with catastrophic results. The news of his birth unsettled Hitler so much that he committed suicide the very next day, ultimately leading to the collapse of Nazi Germany. The rest of the world, not quite ready for sudden peace went into a panic, causing the detonation of two nukes over Japan, followed by the cold war. And we all know what followed.

I wish you all a grand day!

There is no documented connection between incest and acts of terrorism. That connection, not even hinted at in the study comments posted in another blog, seems to not exist. One may as well say auto accidents only happen when someone in that country has drank water.

Terrorism is by definition (an act of violence, or a threat of violence, donee to accomplish or influence a political or religious (and really all choices involving religion, since someone somewhere will disagree, are political choices) outcome. That means terrorism is an act of behavior and choice, not a by product of genetics. One needs therfore to look to environment, not genetics for the factors influencing behavior.

Regarding doing one's cousin. Using as a source, contrary to yet another falsehood posted in the other blog:

26 states allow first cousin marriages; most people can marry their cousin in the US.
No European country prohibits marriage between first cousins. It is also legal throughout Canada and Mexico to marry your cousin. The U.S. is the only western country with cousin marriage restrictions.
Second cousins have little, if any increased chance of having children with birth defects, per the book "Clinical Genetics Handbook"
The frequency of cousin marriages in the USA is about 1 in 1,000. The frequency of cousin marriages in Japan is about 4 in 1,000
It is estimated that 20 percent of all couples worldwide are first cousins. It is also estimated that 80 percent of all marriages historically have been between first cousins!
Albert Einstein married his first cousin. And so did Charles Darwin, who had exceptional children.
Leviticus 18 lists all forbidden s*xual relationships. Cousin relationships are not included.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, the longest serving US president in history married his cousin (not a first cousin, however they shared the same last name).
God commanded many cousins to marry, including Zelophehad's 5 daughters, Eleazar's daughters, Jacob (who married both Rachel and Leah, first cousins), and Isaac and Rebekkah (first cousins once removed)
US prohibitions against cousin marriages predate modern genetics.
Current studies indicate that cousin couples have a lower ratio of miscarriages -- perhaps because body chemistry of cousins is more similar. The verdict is still out.

There are other factoids to research on the site I cite above.

Since no related marriages are so rare, as are individuals who commit acts of terror, perhaps if one still seeks to prove a connection, that person should turn her eagle eyes upon individuals who are the offsprings of non-cousins.

Given prior efforts to sow terror and discontent across the blogs and forums, coupled with those persons insistence they is not like most of humanity (being the offspring of a non-cousin relationship) perhaps that is a connection worth exploring.

Hawaii was in frenzy about a missile heading their way.

Thank God, it was a false alarm. Imagine the chaos they experienced. Must have been a nerve wracking one.

I'd hate to be on that part of the world yet 50 percent of my relatives live there.

Cloward and Pivens were married sociology professors and political activists who devised this strategy in 1966 at Columbia University where they taught. Basically this is a liberal attempt to bring down capitalism in the US by overloading the welfare system. The original goal was to establish a universal income for all which was supposed to eliminate poverty. The pursuit of this strategy has given us the rise of community organizers like Obama. I would assume the left's love for open borders and massive immigration from third world countries is an attempt to speed up the process. It seems to me like they are succeeding in their attempts to bring anarchy, but I believe there will be unintended consequences which they have not thought through. Watch the short video if you want to understand the concept better. Do you think it is working?

As president of the United States of America, Donald Trump puts his life and family on the line every day. Trump and his family are repetitively threatened with death and various other sorts of harm – not only by operators on foreign soil, but by seeming lunatics inside America itself.

He is under constant threat by those who state they want him dead or torn to pieces, that they want his family kidnapped, raped, beaten, or killed.

A few prominent names of those expressing stated dislike of Donald Trump are Robert De Niro, Tom Arnold, Maxine Waters, Don Lemon, Van Jones, LeBron James, Eminem, Madonna, Cher, Michael Moore, and many others too numerous to list here. Why do they seem to feel this way – and liberals, all?

Leftists call his wife a "whore", and run around with signs saying "rape Melania". They hold up his bloody and severed head as a "joke", call for his assassination as a "joke", call his 10-year-old son a rapist and autistic and a homeschool shooter, and they are suddenly claiming the moral high ground? ...

And the more he fights back, the more the Left rages...and the more the media exposes themselves as being utterly corrupt, and how truly hateful the Left has become. Nor is this a fringe element. This is the Left. They are putting on a show for all to see, and are too stupid to realize that everyday Americans are paying attention.

Here is what all the fuss is about.
