Older Eve, younger Adam

As I have mentioned before, the Abi-Ur-Hamm (Hammurabi) myths predate Abraham or Hammurabi.

Adam (e.g. "first man") and Eve (e.g. "beginning") were created in a variety of ways - co-creation from clay being a common motif. The TWO biblical versions are HERE.

The "Adam and Eve" myth was a device to answer little children when they asked: "Where did people come from?"

Stupido answers: "Why they was white christian folks from England!"

This is, of course, absurd. Adam and Eve were black folks from Africa! (All you white xtians, yo mama's mama's [times 1,000] mama was black and she had big feet!)

Almost all living people outside of Africa trace back to a single migration more than 50,000 years ago.



Why 50,000 years? The Toba Event!

Of course, that is not "the truth." That is one of several theories.

So, where did people come from? We don't know with 100% certainty.

The "missing link" reveals what the last common ancestor of all living apes and humans looked like. The 13-million-year-old infant skull, nicknamed “Alesi,” was unearthed in Kenya in 2014. It belonged to a fruit-eating, slow-climbing primate that resembled a baby gibbon.

I know many Xtians who say: "You are NOT going to make an ape out of me!"

To which I say: "Why not? YOU do it almost every day!"

But "the TIME of Adam and Eve" is half-astrology. The Great Age of Adam and Eve (now Gemini) was from 6480 to 4320 BCE.

Folks were outstanding - out standing stones, that is.

But, they were not authoring and publishing academic journals. They were doing other things.

The Mysterious Megaliths of New England

the answer is:

WE DON'T KNOW!

And, we don't really need to know!

Is there a god (or gods)?

WE DON'T KNOW!

And, we don't really need to know!

Religious extremists do bat-sh*t stupid things!

Radical Christian Extremists kill babies!

Get over it... strict and demanding religions spread sickness (mental instability).

It's god's plan to kill us all (because god[s] abhors stupidity)!

The Score? Comey won, Trump zero.

The editor of The New Yorker, David Remnick, interviewed the former F.B.I. director James Comey for “The New Yorker Radio Hour.” On the stage of the Town Hall Theatre (midtown Manhattan), Comey reviewed the most contentious decisions he made as F.B.I. director during 2016.

“I think he has an emptiness inside of him, and a hunger (craving) for affirmation, that I’ve never seen in an adult,” Comey told Remnick at one point. “It’s all, ‘What will fill this hole?’ ”

Last May, Trump fired Comey. Comey leaked to the press that Trump had urged him to drop the investigation into Michael Flynn. Since then, save for the stray tweet here and there, Comey has stayed out of the headlines. The publication of his memoir, “A Higher Loyalty,” has given Comey the opportunity to revisit his tenure as F.B.I. director.

While Comey declined to answer some questions—like the biggest areas of legal jeopardy for Trump—he was unequivocal at other moments. Speaking of the recent pardon of Scooter Libby, the former chief of staff to Vice-President Dick Cheney, Comey said, "That pardon is an attack on the rule of law."

When Remnick asked Comey to comment on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Speaker of the House Paul Ryan’s silence after Trump fired him, Comey said that the question that they needed to ask themselves is, “ ‘What am I going to tell my grandchildren?’ ”

Remnick asked Comey if he believed Trump was a bigot. The President’s “moral equivalence” in the wake of white-supremacist rallies in Charlottesville, Virginia, last summer was “shameful.” The audience interrupted him to applaud.

next...

Former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe is planning to sue the Trump administration for defamation and wrongful termination.



McCabe’s lawyer Michael Bromwich told reporters that “We’ll file when we’re ready.”

The attorney also announced the launch of a legal defense fund for McCabe's legal costs.

Bromwich also accused Trump, of "continuing slander."

Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired McCabe last month after an inspector general report found he made an unauthorized disclosure to the media.

McCabe denied the allegations and said he was being targeted in an effort to undermine special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russia's election interference.

The Justice Department released a report last week of McCabe's conduct at the FBI, alleging that he authorized a leak to the press.

Trump called the report a "disaster" for McCabe.

Horowitz issued a criminal referral to the U.S. attorney’s office in D.C. on Thursday related to McCabe’s conduct that his attorney called "unjustified."

Wait, and see.

Blue Wave?

The “blue wave” is a surge of Democrats taking back Congress in the 2018 midterm elections.

However, some Democratic senators still face challenges preserving their seats in five states Trump carried in 2016.

Five Democrats face that scenario this fall. Many of the seats were previously considered too tough for Democrats to keep a hold on.

Senator Jon Tester, of Montana, is the most vulnerable with a 42 percent to 55 percent projected loss to any Republican candidate.

Moderate West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin could suffer a nine-point loss.

Senator Claire McCaskill, of Missouri, could be knocked out by eight-points.

Single-term Senator Joe Donnelly, of Indiana…

…and North Dakota's Heidi Heitkamp could also find themselves out of a job.

Trump’s approval rating was somewhat higher than the incumbent Democratic senator in these five states, suggesting a note of caution for Democrats who plan to storm to victory in November.

Trump has lost support across the country but, in some of the contested Senate seats, residual support remains.

Although Trump had a positive net approval rating in 38 states the day he entered office, that total has slipped to just 26. And those 26 are rural where fewer house seats are in play and where good numbers do not overcome Trump's record low approval rating when ALL voters are considered.

Trump has somehow maintained a positive net approval in Montana, North and South Dakota, Indiana and West Virginia. Those five Senate seats would keep the chamber in the GOP’s favor.

The areas that face significant unemployment during Trump's trade wars may not stay the course with their lord-god emperor king Trump (see map above).

And rampant instability in white house staffing is not an asset.

Wait, and see.

Talk of a major Democratic tidal wave has spread since encouraging victories in Alabama and Virginia late last year.

the donald's political view

Trump is not a fascist in the exact sense Mussolini was; he is not a control freak micromanaging the expense accounts of his cabinet. Trump is a sloppy fascist.

He was going to build a wall against the Mexican hordes. Now, he says, the wall will come “later.”

Now the coward is sending troops to the border with Mexico (Is little donnie starting a war on the southern front?). Just because his golf course went belly up, he might be blaming Latinos!

Trump is not a fascist in the sense of Geert Wilders of the Netherlands a politician who tries to convince the practical Dutch that it’s common sense to hate Muslims. Or is he?

Yes, Trump likes to appear angry at something or someone, but he is becoming a thread-bare master at manipulating instability.

So, Trump is a very nasty individual but, in a directed way, a fascistic personality type in charge of what is becoming a fascistic white house apparatus.

In Fascist structures historically, the Leader demands absolute, slavish loyalty from those below, bureaucrats obeying orders precisely and IN THIS, Trump is persistent.

But, it's a one way street. Trump fires underlings faster than a dog sheds his winter coat in springtime.

But he won! (as if that's even the point) [Besides, in English, the pronoun refers to the last noun - e.g. the dog]

Remember, even a dog has an assh*le, the voters of the US might as well have one too!
