MisGuided-2




A Kentucky county clerk who has become a symbol of religious opposition to same-sex marriage  was jailed after defying a federal court order to issue licenses to gay couples.

Kim Davis the Kentucky's anti-gay marriage martyr is at center of nationwide storm over her refusal to issue marriage licenses to gay couples because she sees it as a sin.

She conceived twins in adulterous affair with lover she branded violent.

She was released from jail and greeted by her husband whom she has married twice.

Her first marriage ended in divorce; she has two daughters by Dwain Wallace - but then conceived twins with lover Thomas McIntyre

Their relationship turned stormy - he 'called her a w****' - and she obtained a restraining order because of 'violence' then married Joe Davis 

But that ended in divorce and she returned to her 'violent' lover and married him - before divorcing him after a year and going back to Joe

Two of her weddings have been Godless, with number three conducted by 'universal life church' minister and number four by a judge.   [ mostly byLouise Boyle In Morehead, Kentucky For Dailymail.com ]
So here it is   "first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye."   Just a thought.

Egomaniac...?

Image result for egomaniac

At the National Press Club, Bobby Jindal told reporters the following.....
Donald Trump is not a serious candidate. “He’s a narcissist. He’s an egomaniac. The only thing he believes in is himself. "The reality is that I want to say what everybody is thinking about Donald Trump but afraid to say.’’

Commentary:

First: Trump is getting wide support from the Republican audience, and accordingly when you attack Trump, you automatically attack those who put him on top. So it is inappropriate to put down Trump or his supporters.
So if you want to get support from the same audience, better avoid attacking trump at all cost.

Second: We all know who Trump is. But the key point here is crucial. Trump talked about issues that people are concerned about. Healthcare, Immigration, Taxes, Anchor Babies, Economics, Jobs creation, real unemployment, jobs being shipped outside the country, and how to make America great again.       From the others, particularly the politician, we get attacks on Obama, Clinton etc. 

Just tell us who you are, and what are you going to do, then we decide who is Egomaniac.
Just a thought.

Ninety Millions?




Donald Trump, an estimated net worth of $10 billion, but the Republican presidential hopeful is really just like Us. At least, that’s what the business mogul insists in the latest issue of Rolling Stone as he pushes to place the focus on American workers first.

Ninety Four Million Americans forced out of work and are dropped out of the statistics.

Eleven Millions or more illegal immigrants are working, paying no taxes, taking jobs from other American and utilizing the various services available. A path will show that the number is twice as much.

Fifty Million Americans on the verge of poverty, with Healthcare premium for a family of four reaches $15,000, which is out of the reach of this number.

That is half of the population and no Candidate is welling to raise the issue but Trump.

He is talking about building a wall, taking care of the poor, create a terrific healthcare system, the military, the businesses and the jobs among others.

He doesn’t believe politicians are doing enough for citizens,  and the current presidential candidates are running away from the real issue that impacts people's life.

While his conservative opponents are backed by Super PACs, special interest groups, and the incredibly deep pockets of some very wealthy folks, Trump is spending his own money and promising his loyalties to citizens and no one else to gain trust and support for his campaign.

Sure, like most Americans, he’s not nearly as polished as career politicians or have their tact when he gives public speeches. But speaking from his heart is working for him. 

He’s currently leading in the crowded GOP field  despite and he is setting an agenda for all the Candidates to tackle.

Hope the media wouldn't get distracted and let the Candidates off the hook.  Just a thought.

Europe's flood of illegal?




In less than 48 hours, Italy has received an enormous wave of African migrants seeking to cross the Strait of Sicily into Italy, causing a state of emergency for Italian rescuers.
Rescue missions were conducted by the Italian Coast Guard, commercial vessels, as well as the French patrol boat.

Italian police arrested three smugglers, the human traffickers who charge 1,000 euros per person to make the dangerous crossing. Please note the migrants are not only from the middle east, Iraq or Syria.

Estimates of the number of Africans in Libya ready to leave the continent for Europe now reach a million, with Italian rescue forces dramatically underprepared for dealing with an exodus of this magnitude.

Many are fleeing Syria due to the civil war that is initiated and, supported by Saudi, Kuwaiti, Emirates, ... and Turkey's desire to get rid of Assad. Most of these countries are taking no migrants from the region. Many Syrian migrants didn't want to go anywhere, but live in their own country. But with Turkey, Saudis, and US and support of various "moderate oppositions" civilians have no where to go.

We opened the door for a major Non Humane Tragedy of the century.           Just a thought.

Take a chance




 
With the media’s designated front-runners both struggling, the prognosticators who deemed Donald Trump a sideshow are picking their jaws off the floor and forging a new theory.

And can you blame them? Washington has been mired in gridlock for decades. 
In one poll, Trump is leading with 23 percent, and Ben Carson has 18%. 

Jeb, the $100-million candidate who everyone in the media saw as the man to beat,  tied with Marco Rubio at 6 percent, behind Ted Cruz and Scott Walker (who’s faded in recent months) with 8 percent.

While Trump is hitting such hot-button issues as immigration, he also says he wants to raise taxes on wealthy hedge fund managers. People are drawn to him because of his flamboyant personality, his record as a successful developer and because he doesn't have to beg donors for money.

In fact, the Trump phenomenon is reminiscent of Pat Buchanan in1992.
“Both are harsh critics of free trade, both  oppose illegal immigration, both spoke out against the Iraq War and find themselves at odds with the party’s hawks.

They each wear accusations of racism, xenophobia, and hatred as a badge of honor for bravery against the forces of political correctness. And they share a certain style: blunt talk, raised voices, jabbed fingers, and pounded podiums.”
Take a chance on Trump, follow his lead, stimulate his discussion, and see what happens next.

Just a thought.

Strong Dollar

 


Today, the Dow Jones industrial average had its worst day in four years, losing about 530 points, down 3.1 percent, to 16,460; the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq composite dropped similarly.
 
Weakness in the markets is centered around China, said Ben Garber, Moody's Analytics economist. He pointed to Chinese manufacturing activity fell to a six-year low. Substantial declines in Chinese stocks once again fueled sell-offs around the globe.
Last week, China devalued its currency, the yuan, making its goods cheaper and imported goods, like those from the U.S., more expensive.
 
The price of U.S. crude oil slid below $40 a barrel for the first time since 2009.
The decline of oil prices and of other commodities signal fading emerging market growth prospects, ensuring "continued poor results for firms in the energy and mining sectors and so is the exporting Countries.
 
The U.S. currency's value has surged over the last nine months, reaching levels against some world currencies last seen more than a decade ago. In Europe, it now costs just $1.09 to buy one euro, down from $1.37 a year ago and almost $1.50 four years ago.

The soaring dollar is crunching profits at giant U.S. multinationals, prompting Wall Street analysts to make their deepest cuts to earnings forecasts since the financial crisis and boosting the appeal of smaller, domestically focused companies.

With the expectation of Interest Rate hike, all these factors will lead the stock Market to adjust downward until stock's value equals the price.

Just a thought.

Re-Assess.



In poll after poll of Republicans, Mr. Trump leads among women, despite having used terms like “fat pigs” and “disgusting animals” to denigrate some of them.
He leads among evangelical Christians, despite saying he had never had a reason to ask God for forgiveness.
He leads among moderates and college-educated voters, despite a populist and anti-immigrant message thought to resonate most with conservatives and less-affluent voters.
He leads among the most frequent, likely voters, even though his appeal is greatest among those with little history of voting.

At a recent Trump rally in New Hampshire, women there described him as a candidate who would create jobs and take a tough stance on foreign policy. While much of Trump’s media coverage has focused recently on his derogatory comments about women, those female voters said issues like jobs and health care have won him their support. Although he has gained notoriety for castigating a number of individuals and groups, his supporters don’t seem to mind.

There’s a tremendous silent majority that politicians have taken advantage of. I mean, they have taken advantage of the people of this country long enough,” Trump told the crowd. “They’re largely incompetent, except when it comes to getting re-elected.

Trump talked about the issues that people are asking for. Immigration is a serious issue including Anchor babies. Job creation, Trade and even level field economics, Healthcare over pricing and Special Interest groups. He is and will stay ahead for good.

Just a thought.

Jimmy Carter




Carter was seen in his hometown of Plains, Georgia,  at his church, where he speaks regularly and leads bible study. He said Plains has been a "haven" for him and his family.

The peanut farmer-turned-president, whose four years in office were marred by an energy shortage and the Iranian hostage crisis, has redefined what it means to be a former president. He and wife Rosslyn, married for 69 years, have dedicated the past three decades to humanitarian work around the globe. [helping the poor.]

"I wish I had sent in one more helicopter to rescue the hostages" in Iran, he said. "Maybe I would have been re-elected," he said, laughing as the room erupted as well.

Had he stayed in office for a second term, his vast services to the poor and the rest of the world may have diminished greatly.       God works in mysterious way.

Kids Huh.


PHOTO: Gareth Gravells children, Ellis and Erin, climb on a barnacle-covered object at a beach in South Wales on Aug. 12, 2015. Local officials said that the object originated from the United States.


A family beach outing turned terrifying when what was thought to be a washed-up buoy turned out to be an active bomb.
"My children took their boogie boards down and we were going out to the sea," Kelly Gravell of Burry Port, Wales, said. "We saw a large object on the beach, so we thought we’d have a little look.
"We get things washed up all the time, so we thought it was a buoy. We never thought for one second it was a bomb."
The children, Ellis and Erin, climb on a barnacle-covered object at a beach in South Wales. Local officials said that the object originated from the United States.

Gravell told ABC News she, her husband, and two young children went to their local beach for a picnic on Aug. 12, when the kids noticed something wash onto the sand.
That's when, she said, Erin, 6, and Ellis, 4, began posing for photos with the huge metal ball.
"We were more fascinated by the barnacles on it," Gravell added. "My son was touching it and was knocking on it a little bit, and that was it really."
Kids Huh. Just a thought.
