Way The 2016 Elections Played Out

How To Lose An Election
As far as the media was concerned it wasn't about the elections but instead lining their pockets trying every possible way to achieve the highest ratings and selling the most print they could. Stirring up controversies proved a valuable tool for them. On one hand you had Donald making himself readily available via numerous campaign speeches and frequent appearances if only under friendly network settings. On the other Hillary--overlay optimistic about assuming victory--didn't match the same rhetoric Donald was putting into his campaign. Nor willing to appear as readily on TV. As a result Hillary received less coverage. This allowed Donald Trump to seize the campaign spotlight with his flamboyant style. Donald was the to go to guy who could both fill news columns and airtime stirring up controversy. Things hungry media feeds on.


The Bernie Sanders Factor
What neither party saw coming was the impact Bernie Sanders would have. Him being set aside by the democratic party proved to be a big mistake. There were rumors of scheming against Bernie within the democratic party before Hillary officially declared her candidacy. One could argue whether or not this led to Bernie's elimination in the primaries. Let us take a look at a few advantages his presence might have brought if he had not have been eliminated. (1) A huge fuss was made over Hillary's speaking fees. Bernie neither spoke to wall street executive gatherings nor received fees. This would have been one less talking point against the democrats leading contender.

(2) People were in a frenzy slugging it out between both leading candidate's baggage they'd bring to the White House. Meanwhile Bernie's record is clean as a whistle. He doesn't have a foundation nor own a bunch of businesses whereby he could benefit from some decision he made He doesn't have a boatload of emails hanging over his head. Wikileaks didn't have a thing on Bernie.

(3) Bernie's net worth is around $528,000 compared to the Clintons said worth of $121,000,000--250x's larger. With Donald nobody knows. Let's just agree he's well off. I'm sure many reading this might be in the same camp as Bernie. Factoring in a home, savings, cars and whatever it's not too unreasonable to say Bernie pretty much squares with the rest of us peons. If not certainly a whole lot closer then the other two. This would lead one to believe Bernie could better relate to the average family's income. More importantly it tells us he hasn't gamed the system in Washington to become a multimillionaire like the rest of the bunch down there. Talk about draining the swamp-- electing Bernie would have been a good start.

(4) Republicans had the advantage of knowing Hillary would be the front runner democrats would put up eight years down the road. All eyes were on sacking the quarter back carrying the football. Which in this case was Hillary. This gave them plenty of time to prepare. Bernie's sudden appearance could have thrown them off their game. In ConclusionNeither Donald nor Bernie received their respective party's support. The difference was republicans didn't impede their candidates. I'm not sure the same can be said for the democratic party. No one can say whether Bernie could have won against Trump. We'll never know since it wasn't the way things turned out. However it still makes me wonder if it had.

Mother Of All Black Holes

Here I go again postulating another one of my crazy theories. This one concerns the existence of Black Holes.

NASA explains-- As objects' speed increases towards a black hole time slows down until they reach the event horizon where it enters an area where time ceases to exist. Another predictable is-- as objects approach the speed of light their mass grows infinitely larger (m=E/c²).

Lets apply these known facts to our universe. Could it just be "dark matter" is not responsible for our ever increasing universe's expansion. Rather instead could it be our entire universe is being drawn ever faster and more spread out towards the spherical borders of the mother of all black holes?

This Would Explain A Few Things..
(1) The seemingly unlimited ever growing tremendous size of our universe's ever increasing mass.
(2) The universe appearing to be billions of years old (due to time dilation).
(3) Why we haven't found any positive proof of black matter's existence.

Accepting This Theory Leaves Us With Unanswerable Questions.
Since black holes alter time it can be thought of in this way. Take one minute of video. Slow it down sixty times. It would last for an hour. Now imagine slowing it down hundreds of times more. It would seem to last forever as if almost standing still. So is our universe a part of a big bang that lasted for minutes or billions of years? Einstein's formulas have all been proven true. We may never know since we have only a limited view.


What happens when our universe hits the point where time ceases to exist inside of what we might conceive to be an infinitely large black hole? Taking a more optimistic view-- perhaps where aging no longer exist replaced by the infinity of all things. Perhaps completing the cycle before all came into existence through the creation of time itself in which all was formed..

On the other hand I may be a looney-toon living in a land of pixie dust. If that's the case...

Anyways... No One Can Say This Blog Is A One Note Song

Sanders- Hands Off Social Security Medicare Medicaid

There are some things that people like myself, Bernie Sanders and many others are not willing to compromise on.

Jan 4, 2017"During a speech today on the Senate floor about health care, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) pulled out a huge poster of one of President-elect Donald Trump’s old tweets to use as an example and call out the incoming POTUS on his campaign rhetoric."

Donald Trump On Social Security





We Need To Hold Trump Accountable To His Promises
I think Bernie Sanders had a very good idea. He suggested Trump tweet out sending a clear message to congress he would veto any measure weakening these plans. Thusly encouraging congress not to waste their time on this.

I'd add legislators shouldn't even think about going to a privatized voucher system Rather strange considering these are the same conservatives who claim to hate Obamacare's forced voucher system? How would this be ay different? (1) You force people to take Medicare. (2) Give a voucher that probably won't fully cover one of perhaps dozens of differing coverage options with these private plans. Sure seems like the whole idea sucks to me.

Some things never change. Let me clue you in. Conservatives had plans against these programs for years. Now they're starting up all over again in 2017...




Newt Hates Obamacare, but he sure loved it in 2005

Hypocritical much?

We've come too far to let these programs die now.

Each Of These Dots Marks A Galaxy

Here's a tiny slice of the largest-ever 3D map of the cosmos
By Sophie Bushwick | Popular Science

3% of the 1.2 million known galaxies (50,000 dots)

I found this article fascinating so I decided to share the above link. This-- as it always does-- got me to thinking... (1) In the big scheme of things we don't mean diddly squat.
(2) Because of our age-- how many other galaxies may lie beyond who's light has not reached us yet?
(3) How could all of this come from nothing? Some say God-- yeah well the little kid in me then ask where did she/he/it come from?
(4) Still others theorize none of this exist except for the dream state we're in. Yeah well then-- exactly who the hell is this "we" and how'd we come into such a state of existence either? It seems for every question answered spawned are several more questions needing answers. I like a good mystery as much as anybody but this is wack!

Unexplainable Ancient Mystery In Egypt

There are a number of them but this one concerns the Serapeum of Saqqara located around 14 miles West of the pyramids in Giza. Within these catacombs are some 20+ mysterious block boxes. Therein lies great mystery.

These black granite blocks appeared to have been hollowed out forming a box and polished Some weighing more then 200,000 pounds.

The polished surfaces are completely flush with corners accurate down to millionths of a meter. The granite itself imported from over 800 miles away. This gives rise to those who believer ancient aliens visited Earth.

I'm not to sure about that but it sure does cause someone to ponder a few things. The tunnels at Saqqara date back earlier then 1213 BCE. This being the case...



(1) How could craftsman been so skilled as to challenge the accuracy of our most modern equipment?

(2) Few cranes today can lift this weight. How was it possible back then to first extract the rocks, lift them, then transport them 800 miles. Finally placing them deep inside these tunnel passages?

(3) Most researchers agree these blocks were finished off in the tunnels. Which brings us to another problem. You need light to work. Yet no soot was found on any of the walls, floors or ceilings. If they did use some sort of artificial lighting why wasn't any of it found within?

(4) It would most certainly require special tools and equipment. Why haven't we found any of those either?

Seems to me this is another case of the more you learn-- the less you know.
