Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †
♦ The various 2016 Presidential Candidate Campaigns are meeting today in Alexandria Virginia to discuss their perspectives on debate formats, moving forward. The RNC is not participating in tonight’s meeting.
[…] The meeting, which will take place at 6 p.m. at the Hilton Old Town in Alexandria, Virginia, comes amid campaigns’ frustration with CNBC’s handling of last week’s debate, which they say lacked substance and was too focused on pitting candidates against one another. (link)
♦ Showcasing further evidence of his intent and support, the buried lead from yesterday’s Donald Trump rally was that Team Trump has qualified for the Virginia ballot placement garnering 15,000 signatures. The requirement is 5,000 signatures total, with 200 from each of the 11 congressional districts. (more…)
What is the purpose of poetry? Why do we write in verse, when we could say directly what we have to say much more easily?
What has been said about the subject? I found the following quotes:
When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man’s concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses, for art establishes the basic human truths which must serve as the touchstones of our judgment. The artist, however faithful to his personal vision of reality, becomes the last champion of the individual mind and sensibility against an intrusive society and an officious state. The great artist is thus a solitary figure. He has, as Frost said, “a lover’s quarrel with the world.” In pursuing his perceptions of reality he must often sail against the currents of his time … John F Kennedy

We have discussed the potential for SAAMS (Surface to Air Missiles) MANPADS (Man Portable Air Defense Systems) being used against passenger planes, specifically in the North Africa region, amid these pages for over 4 years.
ISIS is claiming responsibility for the loss of a Russian passenger aircraft killing 224 passengers and crew:
The Russian jet which crashed in Sinai killing all 224 people on board did not lodge an SOS call before it hit the ground, it has emerged.
[…] The Islamic State group affiliate in Egypt has claimed it downed the aircraft, but has not said how it might have done so. Cairo and Moscow, however, have denied any possible terrorism link in the incident, one of the deadliest Airbus crashes in the past decade. (link)
Here’s the case for how this can connect to the Libyan Uprising and Clinton’s Rebels.
In 2011 thousands of SAAM’s (Surface to Air Assault Missiles), and MANPADS went missing during the Libyan Islamist uprising. Some went West and South, further into Africa as noted by Chad’s President Deby (asking for help), and some went East into Egypt, Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan.
These points are not disputed. They are widely accepted. Here’s a few data images from the 2011 time-period when these missiles went missing. (more…)
Just a reminder that Daylight Saving Time ends tonight for most of the United States. Don’t forget to set your clocks back one hour.
Everyone thinks the next Presidential debate hosted by Fox News Business Network would most likely be different from the CNBC debate. We’re not quite sure why anyone would believe that, but OK….
Let’s take a look at an interview yesterday from one of the FBN debate moderators, Trish Regan. Rep. Louie Gohmert explains his position. Trish Regan is one of the next debate moderators. You decide.
