Interesting Times
Interesting Times: A world absent faith is a world without hope and charity besides.

It is difficult for yours truly to accept all of this as the Gospel Truth. I go by the Gospel of John. If that isn't sufficient, I may be in trouble.

If poll watching is your thing, here is an alternative breakdown of the polls. Personally, the polls aren't that useful this time because this election is different. The polls depend upon models based upon past voting tendencies. If these hold up, then the polls are correct. If they do not, then the polls are going to be wrong. That's why I do not follow polls, especially this time. I suspect the polls are being used in various ways to manipulate people.

FBI reopens case?
Ask the question: Why? If they got anything, why didn't have it before?
It still smells like something's rotten in Denmark. It make take bullets to clean this up.

Obligatory, 10.28.16; Living in interesting times
It is certainly true in my case.
Disclosure alert: I am revealing info that I usually don't because it is a bit personal.
I cancelled out of ObamaCare because the website said that there may be a possibility of having to pay back your subsidies if your income is too low. That's right. If you fail to make enough money for the year, you could be on the hook for all those subsides. In my case, that would be an absolute disaster. If somebody was trying to kill me, they might think up something like this.
It may be a mistake for me to interpret it this way, so I could have made a mistake in cancelling it out. Whatever the case, I now need it, and I don't have the policy anymore.
I need it because it was discovered recently ( just before the cancellation took effect ) what the thing was that was causing me to miss work and so forth ( which caused the drop in income ).
Just when I need it most, it ain't there. Thanks a lot, ya'll.
Well, there are alternatives. I think. It is on my mind, so I don't have a lot else to say right now.
Imagine that. Thousands spent on subsidies and these people couldn't find anything, but when they finally do, I don't have the government subsidized insurance anymore, because I didn't make enough money because I was in too much pain to work a regular schedule. It almost sounds like a Woody Allen movie.
Living in interesting times indeed. Be careful not to get sick. Even if you got ObamaCare, and even if it is costing the nation billions in subsidies.
I never did like it anyway. My own doctor who I paid myself could have done it this well or better. This may end up killing me or bankrupting me or both, all because the Democrats really care.

Mutual assured destruction really is "mad"
Insanity was once defined as doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different result. We know from history that the Maginot Line did not stop Hitler from attacking it and defeating it.
The doctrine of MAD ( Mutually Assured Destruction ) is a modern day Maginot Line. The public today has been led to believe that this doctrine assures us that no other country will attack us because when they do so, their own destruction will be guaranteed. But is this folly? Why do people put faith in an idea that is no different in concept than the Maginot Line, which did not work? Hitler believed he could overcome the Maginot Line, and he did. But even if he didn't, the Maginot Line failed to keep the peace. All that was necessary was that Hitler could believe that he could attack it successfully. Such did happen and the French quickly lost to Hitler's invading armies.
Could history repeat? Of course it can. Most likely it will, if people will not learn the proper lessons from history. Maginot Lines cannot work. You can build them, but there's no guarantee that it will stop an aggressor.
We have the modern day spectacle of the Russians continually threatening the United States with a nuclear attack. Do the Russians believe in MAD anymore? Just asking the question, ya'll.
If the Russians believe that they can win a nuclear war, that may be all that it would take for them to start one. This is happening while our "leadership" thinks pussy grabbing remarks are fit for the public square, and fit for discussion. That's the very thing that could decide the Russians to attack.
Meanwhile, you believe in your Maginot Line to protect you.
Update:
If the above discussion is too theoretical for you, keep in mind that the Russians have installed nuclear tipped missiles within 2 minutes flying time to Warsaw. All of this has happened while we argue about pussy grabbing.

Is ObamaCare any good?
Perhaps I am biased. I never did support the program. For nearly three years, I have been a participant in this program. At this point in time, given my medical condition and needs, I say HELL NO.
I will research some alternatives. It seems like what I had before ObamaCare may have served me better than this. But I am not sure.
I think that the prices for medical care are very much inflated. If I had stayed with my original plan, I could have gotten most everything that I have gotten with ObamaCare, but the taxpayers would have saved a bundle.
Why should I care about the taxpayers? Because we are all in this together. If you take the attitude of screwing your neighbor, it may come back and burn you in ways you may have not foreseen.
Our country needs new leadership.
