41 Million Born Again Christians unlikely to vote in November
Should have nominated DeSantis. But this is not good. Let's see where it goes: https://t.co/Rbiv19cUxH
"This is unconscionable -- A study shows that 41 million born-again Christians are unlikely to vote in November." Millions of Christians in the United States indicated in a study released on Monday that they are not likely to vote in the upcoming election this November, signaling a potential problem for the Republican Party." https://justthenews.com/nation/religion/millions-christians-may-choose-not-vote-november-studyNishantXavierFor Christ the King 04:16, October 9, 2024 (EDT)
More on the same study: "The research also revealed some of the reasons that the Christians are not planning to vote in November, including a lack of interest in politics (68%), a dislike in both major party candidates (57%), and a belief that their vote will not make a difference (52%). A smaller percentage (48%) believe that the election results will be manipulated.
"The 32 million Christians who regularly attend church services but are not likely to vote represent a far larger margin than the combined number of votes that decided the 2020 election in key battleground states," the study's lead researcher Dr. George Barna said. "If church leaders, family members, and close friends will use their influence to get reticent voters from their churches to cast a ballot on November 5, the election outcome will be meaningfully affected." NishantXavierFor Christ the King 04:22, October 9, 2024 (EDT)

Artificial Hurricanes: Are we giving humanity too much credit?
I had a talk with my mother this morning about the theory that humanity has developed the ability to manipulate the weather and create what are essentially artificial hurricanes. She absolutely refuses to believe it, and for a very interesting reason. As a devout Christian, she questions the faith of those who promote the theory. Specifically, she sees theory as something that takes God out of science, not unlike the theory of evolution. Considering that the main page now features an article promoting this theory, I'm curious to know what people here think about both the theory itself and my mother's take on it.--Geopolitician (talk) 11:54, October 9, 2024 (EDT)

digression on sanctions
Perhaps my use of the term "overturned" is too broad. Did 40 years of sanctions prevent North Korea from obtaining nuclear weapons knowhow and build a bomb (or obtaining ICBM technology from Ukraine to deliver it to the United States)? No.
Does anyone seriously believe a third world hellhole like sanctioned North Korea can build a nuclear bomb, but sanctions will prevent a rich, highly educated population like Iran from doing the same (or even buying one from North Korea)?
The American abuse of sanctions begins with blackmailing countries to adopt gay marriage, transgenderism, and allowing gay tourists in to spend American dollars without being arrested. As a result, now you have BRICS. RobSThe Truth. Just Putin It Out There 14:14, October 18, 2024 (EDT)
Financial sanctions are ultimately not as successful as their advocates once believed because money is not a natural global monopoly. International banks are certainly susceptible to US dollar sanctions. But not all banks in the world operate in dollar markets. The use of secondary sanctions has become a first-order instrument in the US’s diplomatic toolkit in this century. But it falls into the category of instruments which lose their value the more you use them. Even amongst US economists, we see a lot of complacency about this. It was friction combined with network effects that favoured the emergency of a single dominating currency – the pound sterling, the dollar later. The danger to the dollar is not the euro, or renminbi. It is that micro-channels are becoming viable as technology reduces the frictions. [20]

Glenn Diesen adds this:
Too many economic disputes are instead militarised, and the expensive US military is itself overburdened with responsibilities around the world. As the US military transitions to confronting great powers, rival powers have another reason for why they should not invest in US Treasuries or use the dollar as this entails financing their own military containment. The attacks on China’s tech sector and the theft of Russia’s sovereign funds have sent shock-waves throughout the international system as all rules are seemingly suspended under the so-called international rules-based order.

So now the taxpayers and consumers are on the hook for another $2 billion + added to the national debt (and its inflationary consequences). Make sense? After being defrauded, the government reimburses the criminals for their loss.
And these are the guys who manufactured the Patriot missile and Javelin missile systems that failed so spectacularly in NATO's defeat in Ukraine. But don't worry. It won't affect Lloyd Austin's pension from Raytheon, and Nancy Pelosi isn't ready to sell her Raytheon stock yet. RobSThe Truth. Just Putin It Out There 23:11, October 16, 2024 (EDT)

NYT's push to call Trump a "fascist"
Isn't it odd, that days after NYT pushed for it, Kelly came out and said that? I repeat him for his career though. This is from Oct 18: https://nypost.com/2024/10/18/opinion/new-york-times-urges-readers-to-call-trump-a-fascist-while-pretending-its-journalism/ Telling (talk) 10:26, October 23, 2024 (EDT)
- Well. Come to think of it, Charlottesville of 2017 helped Biden...Dianne3000 (talk) 10:40, October 23, 2024 (EDT)
- The time devoted to civic education in American public schools began to significantly decline in the 1960s.[29] And before that, ethics/religion and discipline was removed from many public schools and liberal/leftist indoctrination poured into many public schools and not enough school choice being offered (Vouchers, etc.).
- As result, we have gotten a TON of lawfare and civil rights abuses against Trump via the Justice Department, FBI, CIA and Democrats plus SCOTUS judges threatened by angry mobs. In addition, the world rankings of the American school system at the primary and high school level has gone down.
- Now while Trump has merely a fraction of authoritarian tendencies/leaning than Biden/Harris and other left-leaning Democrats, he has his problems too as can be seen at: Trump denies he suggested ‘termination’ of Constitution, without deleting post, Politico, 2022 and Cruz: “Of course” Trump was wrong to call for terminating Constitution, Texas Tribune, 2022 and Donald Trump: 'When somebody is president of the United States, the authority is total', video (During the pandemic) and Trump asked Twitter to take down ‘derogatory’ tweet from Chrissy Teigen: whistleblower, The Hill, 2023.
- A big difference between Trump and Democrats is that Trump is man of the people (And is a nicer person as well) and he craves praise, recognition and respect as well. And he knows if he were to be as bad as the Biden/Harris/Democrats as far as authoritarianism, he would be hated by the majority of Americans. In addition, the GOP is a lot less authoritarian than Democrats and that restricts Trump's power too.
- But our Founding Fathers foresaw this problem and that is why we have separation of powers, federalism (state rights) and the electoral college. So it very hard for authoritarians to gain as much power as they would wish. In addition, thanks to the US Constitution, the filibuster rule in the Senate and the fact that cultures tend to change slowly (Much of USA culture comes from Britain/West which had the Magna Carta, common law, Greek democracy/Aristotle, etc., so it is hard for hardcore authoritarianism such as fascism/communism to take root in the United States). At the same time, because Germany has a more authoritarian than the UK, Hitler quickly transformed a democratic republic into a constitutional dictatorship so Americans need to be vigilant.[30]
- I hope Republicans/Trump does a better job of pushing school choice so civics/ethics/religion is taught more. Because that is a big root of the problem.

- The only reason Iran is backing Kamala is because they think is beholden to the the anti-Israel faction of the DNC, while they think Trump is beholden to the anti-Iran faction of the GOP. In other words, they think Trump is more beholden to the Deep State than Kamala. God forbid!--Geopolitician (talk) 13:00, October 26, 2024 (EDT)

___
- Then Mark Milley attacked Trump as a "fascist" (Oct 12)
___
- Then, Oct 22, The Atlantic quoted from Peter Baker's book. But Alex Pfeiffer's denial was not mentioned in the screaming headline. Only later on.
___
- Next, Oct 23/24 the NYT recorded Kelly. "Definition of a fascist"
___
- Trump's denial Oct 25:
__
- Trump's ad, featuring a Holocaust survivor, slamming Harris for this horrific comparison.
__
- Mark Paoletta, said John Kelly was “terrible” and “duplicitous” as White House chief of staff and routinely kept President Trump in the dark to push his own goals.
__
- Then, Scott Jennings:
CNN's Jennings calls out student 'Hitlers,' antisemitism on college campuses: 'Open your eyes'. Scott Jennings suggested, 'If you’re worried about Hitler and you’re talking about Donald Trump, maybe open your eyes and take in what’s happening on the American left in this country' By Jeffrey Clark, Fox News. Published October 23, 2024. FoxNews
Transcript of Oct 22, pasted here:
CNN.com - Transcripts Aired October 22, 2024 - 22:00 ET This is a rush transcript. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.
Scott Jennings, CNN senior political commentator: I think, first of all, I don't know John Kelly, but I agree. I think he's an honorable person. His family and his son certainly made the ultimate sacrifice for the country. So, he certainly earned an opinion here. And he's earned a political opinion. But I think like everything else with Donald Trump, opinions vary, whether you're coming out of the military or the private sector, or government or anything else.
And I agree that two weeks before an election will cause some people to look at this in a jaundice way, like, you know, you're trying to drop this here at the end. And there will be people who don't believe it, there will be people who refute it, and Donald Trump himself also refutes it.
I would just humbly submit to Mr. Kelly that if he's worried about Hitler, and he's worried about fascism, he ought to pick up the newspaper. There's thousands of Hitlers, running around this country right now, running around college campuses, running around New York City, chasing Jewish people around, blocking their access on college campuses. If you're worried about Hitler, and you're talking about Donald Trump, maybe open your eyes and take in what's happening on the American left in this country. [22:10:02]. Those are the Hitlers I'm worried about. CNN

Erin Burnett Outfront.
Soon: CNN Hosts Kamala Harris Town Hall In Pennsylvania; DOJ Warns Elon Musk; U.S.: North Korea Has Deployed 3,000 Troops To Russia. Aired 7-8p ET
Aired October 23, 2024 - 19:00 ET [...] SCOTT JENNINGS, CNN SENIOR POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: It probably will shock Kamala Harris and the rest of her campaign staff to learn that there are incumbent Democrat, U.S. senators in this country right now running television ads touting all their work with this modern day Hitler.
I wonder if Kamala Harris tonight in our town hall meeting will call for them to take these ads off the air, touting their work with this Hitler. I mean, if -- if he were really Hitler, if he were really a threat to democracy, not a single Democrat in this country would be running ads touting their work with Donald Trump.
Now I'm callous on this Hitler business because I live through the Bush years and I used to peer out my window onto Pennsylvania Avenue and I saw everybody marching around in their brown uniforms, signs up, Bush is Hitler, Bush is Hitler, and then they did it to John McCain, they did it to Mitt Romney, they've done it to Donald Trump, they even did it to Paul Ryan I recall at one point.
So I've heard it all before, and I think the reason Democrats are freaking out about it right now is because what they have learned is that it's not Republicans who are the Hitlers or the Nazis, it's actually emanating from within their own party. If you want to find Hitlerish, Nazist, antisemitic tendencies, look on the left, not the right. CNNTelling (talk) 23:21, October 26, 2024 (EDT)

- Sergey Karaganov, advisor to Putin, Yeltsin, Gorbachev & Brezhnev:
... I started to look more attentively at what are the reactions from the West and I saw somewhere in August or maybe September last year two pronouncements by President Biden and his Secretary of State, (he's the fourth person or the third to supplant the president if he or she dies) so they both said, more or less, that climate change is in a few years, is worse than a nuclear war...
That was, I mean, I did not believe [it], but that happened. And that brought me to understanding that we are heading towards a disaster. Because the only reason not to go to multiple wars and eventually to plunge into the Third World War, which basically is already starting, is to restore nuclear deterrence and fear of Hell.
