Low BP

Most of my life my blood pressure has been rather low even though I'm a very big guy. These last two years it's been running high, but today it stayed very low. It can get very scary when I'm too weak to do very basic things.

Some insight.

Never read it myself

Point 9 from art of the deal.... Deliver the goods

"You can't con people, at least not for long. You can create excitement, you can do wonderful promotion and get all kinds of press, and you can throw in a little hyperbole. But if you don't deliver the goods, people will eventually catch on."

Rand appears to have misconstrued the hyperbole?

Murder by thought

Wrong ideas kill people. That makes them evil.

It's obvious that resources are finite... obviously wrong!

However, there was 1 billion people at the time of Malthus and they had the equivalent in today's dollars of GDP $180 per person. Malthus made the case that there was finite resources and we had to stop population growth. But now there are 7 billion people with the equivalent of $9000 GDP per person. 7 times the population, 50 times the wealth (7 squared) and 350 times the total wealth (7 cubed)

Where did this wealth come from? Bill Whittle explains.

If we ever get serious about it...

Judge for yourself

I planned to live 41 more years

I was 10 years old, sitting in a barber chair in Tacoma, discussing my future. I was the oldest of 6 and said I would be the last of my siblings to get married. The barber disagreed but I was right when I finally got married in Feb. 2002 (and divorced a bit over 3 years later.) I also told him I planned to live to 98 which seemed reasonable at the time.

So much for plans. That's why god doesn't plan. He purposes. His name actually means he causes to be. His promises can not fail. Unlike plans which fail all the time.

Last year my kidney specialist told me they were functioning at 30% which is fine since they have over capacity. But my latest blood test puts them at 15% which is near dialysis territory... and I will not do dialysis which means my mars retirement plans are out the window!

I was really looking forward to all the heads exploding during the next 8 years of Trump. But who knows? I now plan on a long slow painful agonizing death while I go blind, but hey, my erratic blood pressure could shorten that plan as well.

It's time for extinction

The left are evil deluded children. The left believes they can destroy America, but they will be spared. They have no clue, but they know how to project.

These articles (here and here) are examples of their mental illness.

We have a republic if we can keep it. The evil party is more so now than ever. The stupid party isn't going to wise up. It is up to the deplorables to save this country. We must destroy the evil party threat once and for all. We may never get the chance again.

We are at a historic inflection point that could go either way. The losers will do anything and are mad... as in psychotic and lawless. We will not get a second chance to get this right.

"We must regain control of the truth"

What an admission by the media that they're the one's doing the gas lighting!

History - sorta, kinda important

Unity crap

What does light have to do with darkness the bible asks? What partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? This call for unity is the same old trap. This country doesn't need to unify. It needs to destroy the enemy within. We will never get this chance again.

We need to destroy their funding which is mostly thievery from the taxpayers funneled through lawless organizations as project Veritas and wikileaks has shown. We need to destroy their flawed philosophy which they pump out with a stranglehold on the media and education.

Update: yes, what goes around comes around and this is a perfect opportunity to destroy the democrats and media fighting against Trump.

A brilliant solution.

I just heard this suggestion on fox... let colleges make direct student loans and get taxpayers off the hook.

If colleges believe they are teaching something with real value why wouldn't they make direct tuition loans?

Sarah is right again

Which is why Trump should put her in charge of the VA.

He can trust her to fix it.

While Sarah is right, Donald can get it right in the future. Saving jobs is an important goal. A level playing field should be the end result, but to get there might require playing favorites on occasion.

That's because it isn't a level playing field when only one side is playing fair. Tit-for-tat is a proven to work in the most effective way strategy.

Trump's plan to lower taxes across the board is a level playing field strategy that can be relied on as momentum builds. Until it has its chance, targeting may be required to get that momentum started.

Update: Another reason Sarah is right: Trump is opening himself up to being played. A company, with no actual intention of doing so, might announce they are moving jobs out of America to get the admin to get them concessions. This would probably be realized rather quickly, but it does create a window of opportunity right now.

Some holiday cheer
