An article from 2015 reminds us of how the Clintons became fabulously wealthy--and powerful. "Clinton Foundation has basically been a foreign money-laundering operation. The scheme works like this: collect millions of dollars in foreign money, dump it into a foreign charity, pretend that the law prohibits you from ever disclosing the identities of those foreign donors to the foreign charity, then have the foreign charity bundle all the cash and send it to the Clinton Foundation. Then, when the time comes–whether it be a Clinton Foundation conference or a lavish Clinton Foundation trip overseas–make sure those individuals get some me-time with the Clintons."

From a California friend of a friend via e-mail
“The Caravan’s route to Tijuana is instructive:
If you know anything about Mexico you should remember that Tijuana is in Baja California and not on “mainland” Mexico where the Caravan famously “walked” through 2000 miles of Mexico to get to the border and to jump it.
The gaggle of caravan members, 3000 strong as of today with more to come, are now in Tijuana. They had to have an extra struggle to get there. Look at the map: There is only one road through the desert and mountains of Baja between the mainland just south of Yuma to Tijuana. The road is about 200+ miles long and skirts the Northern shore of the Sea of Cortez and crosses the large dry lake, the Laguna Salida. Then it climbs the Cuyamaca mountains; it is quite a trip….hot and steep.
If they came to Tijuana from the South in Baja they had to cross the Sea of Cortez by ferry boat at three points you can do that all far South of the border and you need to bring money…..lots of it.
Then the route they took goes past the USA border entry points at San Luis/Yuma, Mexicali/Calexico (two crossing points), Tecate/Tecate Cal. and Otay Mesa/San Diego before it finally ends at Tijuana. The caravan also could have turned East at the border to reach other entry points there.
If the caravan’s objective was/is to gain entry to the USA they had at least five opportunities to do that before Tijuana……but that’s where the TV cameras are and the caravan went those extra miles to reach them. They didn’t walk either— that road isn’t made for that. So that trip was organized and financed by radical “open border” thugs like George Soros and people with deep pockets who are democrats.
I have not heard one reporter (so called) say anything about the facts above.”
Khashoggi is dead and so are many other Muslims
“Bomb kills Afghan soldiers inside mosque --Army spokesman says 27 are dead | 24 Nov 2018 | A bomb exploded during Friday prayers in a mosque packed with army troops in Afghanistan's southeastern Khost province, killing at least 27 soldiers, a government spokesman said. There were conflicting accounts as to how the blast was triggered. Some officials said a suicide bomber detonated explosives on his body, and other officials said they suspected that a bomb hidden in the main hall of the mosque detonated as soldiers were beginning to offer special Friday prayers.”
“ Bomb blast at religious scholar gathering in Afghanistan kills at least 50 | 20 Nov 2018 | A suicide bomber who targeted a gathering of religious scholars in Kabul has killed at least 50 people and wounded another 80, authorities say. The scholars had met inside a wedding hall to celebrate Prophet Mohammed's birthday, interior ministry spokesman Najib Danish said. The total of 50 dead and 80 wounded is reported by the Reuters news agency, quoting three government sources, while other reports put the death toll at 43.”
“The attack is the first of its kind against a Sunni religious gathering in Afghanistan, the Washington Post reported.
No one has claimed to have been behind the blast, but both Taliban and Islamic State (IS) groups have targeted religious scholars tied to the government in the past.”
So why are our media only concerned more about Khashoggi? Because then they can reach deep in their bag of hate tricks and link it to Trump! It’s really bizarre. Here’s a peaceful group of scholars celebrating a holy day, and they are blown to bits by other Muslims vs. a disaffected Saudi, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, living in the U.S. who writes columns (he was not a journalist) for the NYT who is brutally murdered by his own government for being anti-Saudi. A religious killing or a political assassination? Who knows, but Trump knows we need the Saudi government in that region.

China will judge all citizens on behavior by end of 2020
Michael Smith writes: “I don't know why people are so shocked at what China is doing. America already has a program to judge people - it's called progressivism and it is 100% owned and operated by the Democrat Party.
If you are not a progressive, you are judged by the central committee to be racist, sexist, bigoted, homophobic, xenophobic, transphobic and a selfish hoarder of resources. If you aren't with the progressive program, you will not allowed to speak at universities, you will be hounded out of restaurants and banned from social media. You will never teach at a major university where diversity of thought is forbidden. Your books will never show up on the New York Times' best seller list. Your belief in God and your practice of religion is ridiculed and often outlawed by the courts (bake the damn cake). You are assaulted daily by the media and the party organs headquartered in the major cities.
Due to your thoughtcrimes and wrongthink, you are literally and figuratively not fit to be a citizen.
We even have a card and an identifying number thanks to the Social Security Administration.
I think it is hilarious there are Democrats shocked, shocked, I tell you that China is doing this when they would start issuing formal citizen behavior report cards tomorrow if they thought they could get away with it.”
Her cards took a detour
When the mail arrived today I looked through it and pulled out a Christmas catalog to throw away. But it felt a little thick, so I opened it, and inside were two cards addressed in red to two families in Pennsylvania, from a family in Aspinwall, Pennsylvania, a borough in the Pittsburgh metro area with hockey player forever stamps not cancelled. So I figured that somehow those cards got pushed inside a catalog addressed to us along the way from Pittsburgh. There was a return address so I sat down and wrote a note to the sender telling her that her cards had made a detour to Columbus, Ohio and I was sending them on their way. While checking this out on the internet I learned that the woman’s father had died earlier this year of ALS, so I also included my condolences.
David Horowitz and Freedom Center
“Earlier this year, MasterCard shut off our online fundraising because the Southern Poverty Law Center labeled my Freedom Center an "Islamophobic hate group," and then Discover Card came after us too.
Why did MasterCard go to war against the Freedom Center? Part of the answer no doubt has to do with the invisible advance of political correctness in the corporate world which has helped create a "progressive" culture based on virtue signaling and moral preening.
But there's more to it than that...
The forces waging this war involve a tight network of the most powerful institutions in our economy, the censorship prone social media, the liberal press, and financial giants like MasterCard.
Their marching orders are issued by radical groups such as the George Soros-funded Media Matters and their ammunition dump is provided by the Southern Poverty Law Center's fabricated blacklist of alleged "hate groups."
I know that the story of this attack on the Freedom Center is complicated and I appreciate your patience in reading about it. I hope you see the threat it poses to all enemies of the left.
I also hope you see that the Freedom Center is in the fight of its life and desperately needs your support if it is to continue our historic role as the left's worst enemy.”
Other conservatives have their accounts shut down or go to Facebook “jail” for speaking out about freedom for Jews, or abortion, or schools or support for Trump, like Diamond and Silk (2 black women who advocate for the president). Dare not aim at the Left’s sacred cows. George Soros has a lot of power (and now you can be called an anti-Semite for speaking out about Soros!) You can’t really say social media punishment for disagreeing with Soros is about free speech because that’s a government issue, however, these sites do have bills to pay—they are a business and depend on advertising which depends on web traffic. Big Tech is Big Monopoly. The left also shuts down bakers and florists or fashion designers who don’t want to participate in a same sex wedding, and THAT is a first amendment right, and their businesses are also being destroyed by government.

This is heartbreaking
I had been reading through the moving speech a mother of a murdered child had given at an Amber Alert conference this past summer, 2018 NATIONAL AMBER ALERT SYMPOSIUM, as reported in their journal. https://www.amberadvocate.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/AA34-web-final.pdf She tells her relief when the murderer of her sexually molested and murdered 12 year old son Justin Bloxom is finally brought to justice in 2014. And although it was a recent 2018 article, I thought I’d better double check for updates, and unfortunately, the murder conviction was overturned in September. Brian Horn’s rights were violated.
Justin Bloxom 12 years old was found smothered to death on March 30, 2010 after he took a cab driven by then 34-year-old Brian Horn, who had posed as a teen girl in texts.
Trump and the press
What is it about this President that drives the media mavens and moguls bonkers? They are constantly attacking him, but he hits back. Remember how GW Bush just grinned? They call President Trump mentally ill, physically unfit, a Nazi, an anti-Semite, a homophobe and racist with no evidence. And he calls them out on Fake News with a lot of evidence.
“. . .this President has been relatively passive when it comes action on the media. John Adams, Sedition Act. Locked up journalists. Abraham Lincoln's Executive Order. When the New York newspaper prinked printed a fake Presidential proclamation, he ordered his generals to arrest the editors and the journalists and they shut down almost 300 papers. Whatever you think about, that's; what he did. Woodrow Wilson set up a whole intelligence operation against the media and a new Sedition Act of 1918.
You've got FDR going after publishers. You've got Obama going after reporters. Trump has not done any of that.” https://www.foxnews.com/transcript/historian-victor-davis-hanson-on-why-he-supports-trump.print
Gender Pay Gap
This is nothing new. Twenty years ago a study involving librarians found out the same thing—choices. And that was within just one field where all studied had an advanced degree.
“Progressives claim that the pay difference between men and women is caused by sexism that government must redress. But a new study offers compelling evidence that the choices and priorities of women account for much of the disparity.” Wall St. Journal, Nov. 23, 2018
There’s a pay wall so I won’t provide a link, but I’ll snoop around to see who the editors are citing. But here are some recent 2016 - 2018 stories on the subject.
“Jordan B. Peterson has discussed this pressure women face at length: years 25-35 are exactly when one gets their career going, but also the best biological window to have children. Women who work through those years see a huge financial payoff, but may miss out on the child-bearing window. And women who choose babies will miss out on the profit-reaping window.
But the choice is still up to the woman. It’s not rampant sexism which explains the pay gap. A woman’s choice explains the pay gap. Can we stop blaming sexism in the workforce for at least this issue? Please?”
I loved my career, but there are few days at work that are worth bundling up the baby, struggling with a car seat, dropping him off at a sitter/daycare where the woman in charge won’t love him as much as you do.
This 2016 article was cited in November 18 at a business journal, and may have caught the eye of the WSJ.
It says, and I concur: https://www.chicagobusiness.com/opinion/why-do-women-earn-less-we-choose
“Here's what Goldin's research shows: First, there's almost no gender wage gap among younger workers: Women in their late 20s make 92 cents for every dollar a comparable male worker makes. But women in their early 50s make just 71 cents compared to comparable male workers, according to Goldin's research. Why does that matter? Because it indicates that the gap is better explained by differences in experience between men and women over their life cycles than by gender.
Second, the gaps differ by industry. When Goldin analyzed college-educated, white-collar workers, she found that for those in science and tech, the gender wage gap is remarkably small, but for lawyers, along with those in business and finance, the gap is much wider. Goldin's research notes that female MBA holders with children shift to positions with lower pay but more flexibility. Half of female MBA holders studied who work part time are self-employed, mainly because of a lack of existing part-time opportunities. Similar trends hold true for women with law degrees.”
I’m surprised Goldin can keep her job!
Coach Tyler’s recipe for whipped cream
Pumpkin Spice Whipped Cream
Prep Time: 5 minutes | Serves: 10-12
Ingredients:
- 1 pint heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon maple extract
- ¼ cup granulated swerve
Instructions:
- Using an electric mixer, whip heavy cream, granulated swerve, vanilla extract and maple extract until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold in pumpkin puree and spices until well combined.
- Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
I always wonder what do you do with the rest of the puree. It’s healthy, so I suppose you could add to other recipes, or even gravy, but I don’t need those treats anymore than I need whipped cream!
“Spices are what really help make dishes unique and add amazing flavor. As with most kitchen spices, nutmeg is a carminative that aids in digestion, and can help with those uncomfortable tummy troubles that pop up from time to time. It is also has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial benefits.
Helpful trace minerals found in nutmeg include potassium, calcium, iron and manganese, and it also contains antioxidants, Vitamin C and some B vitamins. Who would have thought a dash of nutmeg could have all that! “

How to be grateful, even when times are tough. . .
| Although I know to whom gratitude is directed, and that it shouldn’t be me or a fitness coach, I thought this e-mail from “Coach Tyler” had merit because it reminds us that setbacks are often a push forward. Many of his points are quite Biblical (and since for many fitness/nutrition is the new God, I understand that). Even the word Eucharist means Thanksgiving! He writes about three setbacks—a car accident, a job loss, and injuries that could have ended his successful private training business created after overcoming the first two:

It’s National Bible Week
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PvxAOGYjY0
Byrds were #1 in 1965 with Ecclesiastes chapter 3
“National Bible Week in the United States is annually observed from Sunday to Sunday of Thanksgiving week. It has been so observed since 1941 when President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued the first national proclamation. In the years since, every president has issued a national proclamation, as have many governors and mayors, with U.S. senators and representatives also reading celebratory speeches into the Congressional Record.” https://www.umcdiscipleship.org/resources/national-bible-week-and-the-hymnal
“Pleased to be chosen to help initiate National Bible Week, President Roosevelt agreed to host special events at the White House dedicated to the observance. In addition, a well-organized media campaign was planned, while religious, civic, and fraternal organizations pledged their support as well. To launch the event, a reading of the Bible was scheduled for December 7 on a national radio broadcast of the NBC network––the day before its official weeklong observance. On the scheduled day, Bible reading began on NBC, but to the horror of the nation, the reading was interrupted with the news of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Throughout the nation, radios were turned to NBC for reporting on the attack, and in between reports, network executives requested National Bible Association leaders to continue to read the Bible throughout the day. Who could have known, that on such a fateful day, America would need most the comfort of God’s Word, and what better preparation for a nation facing the horrors of another world war?” https://christianheritagefellowship.com/bible-reading-interrupted/
What’s wrong with this paragraph?
“It is no longer controversial to say that the United States food system does not support a healthy diet. Junk food is extraordinarily palatable and virtually omnipresent; its advertising is pervasive; many Americans do not live within convenient distance of a grocery store stocking healthy alternatives; and healthier foods are typically perceived as costlier. In this environment, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provides 42 million low-income people with financial assistance to purchase food. Most SNAP recipients, because they tend to live in lower-income communities, are exposed to the worst of the US food system: more unhealthy food marketing through traditional and social media, more unhealthy foods in the stores where they regularly shop, and fewer healthy foods that are financially within reach. Although SNAP benefits are intended to provide low-income families with sufficient food-purchasing power to obtain a nutritious diet, there is broad consensus that current benefits are insufficient [1]. The US food system is in urgent need of policies and programs that support and facilitate better dietary habits.”
1. There is no United States food system.
2. There is no agreement on what is a healthy diet.
3. There is no agreement on what is junk food.
4. What’s the number in a statement like “many Americans?”
5. What is a healthy alternative?
6. Are healthy foods really more costly per ounce or per pound?
7. How many are “most SNAP recipients?”
8. What broad consensus and who are they?
9. “Policies and programs” is code for more government.
10. When was it ever controversial to say we Americans didn’t have a healthy diet? I’ve heard it all my life and I’m 79!

Fascinating guidelines for manners of well educated people
Because of Jim Acosta, there will need to be specific, written guidelines for behavior of journalists. He can only lose his press pass if he violates written rules, not common decency rules everyone understands. In the past, there was an unwritten, decency code which journalists recognized in order to be welcomed at the White House (or anyone’s house). Many groups on Facebook or online content services now have guidelines on how to post comments or content. This one is from PLOS, a science publication website. Imagine having to tell well educated people not to plagiarize or defame each other. Or not to yell opinions at the president or refuse to shut up.
https://blogs.plos.org/about/
Wouldn’t most of these seem like common sense, the basic rules of courtesy we should have learned in school or at home. It’s the adult equivalent of playing in the sandbox with classmates in kindergarten. This list came from the PLOS blog guidelines.
- Don’t plagiarize.
- Don’t defame others.
- Don’t name-call, attack, threaten, or use profanity.
- Don’t use posts to promote products or services.
- Limit the number of links in your comment to three or fewer.
- Don’t use third-party content without permission.
- If you have permission to use third-party content, give proper attribution.
- Arguments based on belief are to be avoided. For example the assertion, “I don’t believe the results of Study X” must be supported.
- The content of comments should be confined to the demonstrable content of the specific blog post and should avoid speculation about the motivations or prejudices of its author.
- In its moderation of comments, PLOS BLOGS reserves the right to reject, at our discretion, any comment that is insufficiently supported by scientific evidence, is not constructive, or is not relevant to the original blog post.
- PLOS BLOGS reserves the right to remove any content that violates any of these guidelines, to block repeat and/or egregious violators from posting, and to suspend accounts as we deem necessary.
- PLOS Blogs is the final arbiter of the suitability of content for inclusion on its PLOS BLOGS Network.

Academe encourages spying which bleeds over into general society
| “Hundreds of universities nationwide now maintain Orwellian systems that ask students to report—often anonymously—their neighbors, friends, and professors for any instances of supposed biased speech and expression.” Many college students believe “hate speech” isn’t covered under the First Amendment. And it is, but hate speech in my opinion has come to mean anything a Democrat/Socialist doesn’t agree with, like one’s views on traditional marriage, pro-life, secure borders, baking a cake, climate change, or voter ID. “Fifty-one percent of college students think they have a right to shout down a speaker with whom they disagree. Nineteen percent of students think that it’s acceptable to use violence to prevent a speaker from speaking. Over 50 percent agree that colleges should prohibit speech and viewpoints that might offend certain people.” https://www.dailysignal.com/2018/11/21/the-fruits-of-college-indoctrination/ |
Native Americans and belief in lost tribes of Israel by American Jews
I’m not sure when I first heard of the Lost Tribes of Israel, it was years ago and never part of my faith tradition, but I think it was in connection with the Mormons. https://claudemariottini.com/2006/02/17/the-mormon-church-and-the-lost-tribes-of-israel/
This article at Jewish Learning traces the belief that Native Americans were descended from the Jews dispersed in the 8th century BC by the Assyrians to a 17th century Dutch Rabbi, Manasseh ben Israel who wrote The Hope of Israel (1650). https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/native-americans-jews-the-lost-tribes-episode/ The article doesn’t mention Mormons, but speculates what this belief did for both Christians and Jews.
“The Lost Tribe theory had significant symbolic stakes — for Jews, Christians and Native Americans. Linking America and its earliest inhabitants with the Bible and its theology, meant staking a claim on America–and championing God’s plan for the New World.”
Here’s a copy of the 1650 text in English. http://olivercowdery.com/texts/1650hope.htm

Cold case solved through DNA
Dan Flynn of American Spectator reports in today’s email:
“Middlesex County, Massachusetts, authorities solved a half-century old murder-rape case through DNA. The news chills in that on Saturday I drove on the street where the murder took place and walked with my kids where the victim skated with a boyfriend just prior to it. Everything looked pretty peaceful in 2018. In 1969—not so much.
In the years since Michael Sumpter raped and murdered 23-year-old Harvard University grad student Jane Britton, Sumpter raped and murdered 24-year-old Mary McClain and raped and murdered 23-year-old Ellen Rutchick. We discovered all this after his death. The authorities did convict him of a 1975 rape on a woman (Do you think he regretted not murdering her?). But then the administration of Michael Dukakis allowed him out of prison on work release in 1985. Guess what he did. Yes, he escaped the program and raped a woman—two years before Willie Horton did something very similar. In 2000, the state let Sumpter out of prison because he suffered from cancer. He died 13 months after his release, presumably without raping anyone else.
How marvelous that the authorities can use technology to solve cold cases. Too bad they cannot use common sense from preventing them from happening in the first place.”
According to the DA press release: https://www.middlesexda.com/press-releases/news/dna-used-identify-man-responsible-1969-murder-jane-britton
“Sumpter had been convicted of committing the stranger rape of a woman in her Boston apartment in 1975. Mr. Sumpter died of cancer at the age of 54 in 2001, 13 months after he was paroled from his 15 to 20 year sentence for this 1975 Boston rape. In 2002, after his death, Sumpter was identified by another CODIS hit in connection with a 1985 stranger rape of a woman in Boston committed after Sumpter escaped from work release.
Since his death, DNA testing and the CODIS database identified Michael Sumpter in connection with five sexual assaults, three of which involved the murder of the victim.”
No mention in the press release of the work release program that put him on the streets to rape and kill more women.

Statement from Britton’s only surviving family member on forgiveness:
Statement from Boyd Britton, released by request on his behalf by the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office:
A half century of mystery and speculation has clouded the brutal crime that shattered Jane's promising young life and our family. As the surviving Britton, I wish to thank all those -- friends, public officials and press -- who persevered in keeping this investigation active, most especially State police Sergeant Peter Sennott. The DNA evidence match may be all we ever have as a conclusion. Learning to understand and forgive remains a challenge.
