President Fatso!

The trumpster in the dumpster is the 2nd fattest president in the entire history of the USA! I would say he wins that distinction by a belly-slide!

Perhaps his bariatricness (from Greek baros "weight" via barys "heavy") should WALK the course!

Obama was in far better shape - played much less golf and walked the course when he golfed!

Well, Mr. "Do as I say and not as I do..."

In the meantime, a similar path to victory is open to la Pen (the French Trump clone).

It's the "P" word.

Russia is in and the mood for many is "stay home."

Tomorrow, we will see the results.

Remember, the popular vote was not officially reported before the 1824 election. Trump won just 306 of the 538 electoral votes. That is the third-worst vote margin among winning candidates since 1824! That is far from the mythological "landslide" Trump claims.

Trump continues to be a (bad) joke...

In France, the joke is le Pen wants to look like the trumpster in the dumpster.

And, the reason she just might not win it that - to France - the trumpster in the dumpster is not at all popular.

Yes, people are laughing in his face - as they well should. The trumpster in the dumpster is apparently a real stinker!

Oh well, cowards sell FEAR to other cowards.

The trumpster in the dumpster is not at all popular anywhere - except among the Trump Culties..

Recycled recycling.

A long time ago (? 55 years ?) I thought Xtianity might be recycled Buddhism.

Above is a 1904 preview of a popular (academic) 1905 publication.

That first printing (of a few hundred books) was printed an additional 4 times before the outbreak of WWI.

The forth (expanded, embellished, and improved) printing is easiest to find. It is in 2 volumes. (Find them and read them for yourself)

So, one might wonder how Buddhism migrated into the Levant with its opposition to the sacrifice of animals (Gen 8:20). Sacrifices were made before the Mosaic Law (e.g. Genesis 4:4), which means somehow man (perhaps through Astrology or Divination) determined which animals were suitable for the sacrifice.

Ashoka sent missionaries to the Levant! One "widow's mite" even carries the wheel of Dharma!

It should therefore make sense that the Xtian borrowing follows the old Buddhist fable!

The "Three Merchants parable" also contains the sower parable.

The Parable of the Sower is found in Matthew 13:1-23, Mark 4:1-20, and Luke 8:1-15.

But the Widow's mite part is:

The Cross (and the Chi-Rho) are also obtained via the five-finger discount (stealing)

What discoveries have yet to be made?

Christian finds Scientology's clam!

Hot Damn!

The ever popular Stinky Donald informs us that Global Warming is a Chinese conspiracy.

Stinky Donald carries the stench of rancid food!

"Every one of the past 40 years has been warmer than the 20th century average.
2016 was the hottest year on record.
The 12 warmest years on record have all occurred since 1998."

Learn more (if you can learn): Concerned Scientists

However, IMO, it will take more than 10,000 heat related deaths inside the USA - and perhaps 100,000 - before Stinky Donald will pay the slightest bit of attention. (Is he autistic?)

By the time Stinky Donald takes notice (if he has any ability to do so) it will be far too late. We may be well beyond "the tipping point."

There is a "worst case scenario" that scientists (oops! that lets out trumpsters) discuss.

How bad is bad? Ask KCET (TV).

San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose will all be without airports.

LA declared a local emergency two weeks ago to authorize out-of-budget spending for equipment and experts to prevent catastrophic flooding at Owens Lake and along the 200-plus miles of the Los Angeles Aqueduct. Highway 395 and downstream communities like Bishop and Independence are most vulnerable to severe flooding (and North Fresno?). The Eastern Sierra snow pack, is 241 percent of average. An accelerated melt (due to unseasonably HIGH TEMPERATURES) is expected to dump as much as 1 million acre feet of additional water into the aqueduct and the Owens dry lake bed about 200 miles north of Los Angeles.
