Yeah, I ran it through ChatGPT trying Roman, Hexadecimal, Gematria, combinations… Couldn’t logically get there. Dude, Trump must be super sneaky. 😈

Anyone excited? I considered myself an olympic hopeful while in high school (then I went to University and had a rude awakening). The change in multimedia makes it a nightmare to try to watch the games. Back in the day you just tuned into channel 8 for 2 weeks and enjoyed the whole atmosphere. All I hear mostly is that the Rhine is too polluted to swim, despite the politicians taking a dip.

I saw this the other day on the internets If M = 600, A = 30, and G = 6, then M+A+G+A=666. I couldn’t make any sense of it but maybe you can. I’ll send it to my mother as she is a bit kooky, loves Trump, and is quite the conspiracy theorists.

I don’t get super worked up about the definations of words. Im a concept and works guys. I’ll tell you what though. When I pray, I pray to the Father. During the Sacrament I think about Jesus Christ. And I know when I feel the Holy Ghost.

Wow, I was wrong. It looks like the $$ and endorsements are coming in so fast that an open nomination process wont happen. Obama, Pelosi, and Schumer have not endorsed Harris yet. Pretty sure that they were the main people pushing Biden out. Their options are dwindling by the minute.

A whole bunch of democrats are now coming out to endorse Kamala Harris. Im watching the liberal news channels tell me how great a candidate that VP Harris is going to be. How intelligent, well spoken and savy that she is, and how she will beat Trump. It reminds me of how supportive that they were of Biden during the obvious past year of his cognitive decline. I was able to appreciate Biden’s cognitive decline prior to the infamous presidential debate, but none of the liberal media or democrats could? Are they doing the same thing with Kamala Harris? I mean, if you told me that Trump was an honest humble man I wouldn’t believe ya…

Well the good news. Trump cannot run a negative campaign yet because we dont know who the heck the dems will pick.

I tried to watch Hillbilly Elegy last night. Got bored 45 min into it and abandoned.

Pete Buttigieg - Secretary of Transportation He is my pick for the ticket

Yup, I’m not sure he can finish the term. Not even endorsing Kamala Harris. What a dog. I wonder if Trump will stop bad mouthing him.

I have found that Jewish commentary can be very insightful From https://www.bethmelekh.com/yaakovs-commentary/isaiah-28-messiah-our-foundation-cap-corner-stone Isa 28:13 Vehayah And it has come to pass that to these, the Devar Word (essence) of HaShem(YHVH: Mercy) is, “tzav command la’tzav upon command, tzav command la’tzav upon command; kav measuring line la’kav upon measuring line, kav measuring line la’kav upon measuring line; a little here, a little here:” purposed that they might walk, and stumble, fall backward, and be broken to pieces, and lured into a trap, and captured. These words repeat the back to basics warning of verse 10 so as to make known to the people that God had firmly established the outcome. The “Devar” Word (John 1) has come to them with the simplest and clearest of instruction. But because they have refused even this basic instruction He will give them over to their own self-induced confusion, stumbling and bondage. ‘Then He said: “Go! Tell this people: ‘Hear without understanding, and see without perceiving.’ Make the heart of this people fat, their ears heavy, and their eyes blind. Else they would see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and return, and be healed.”’ -Isaiah 6:9-10 TLV ‘For this reason I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear nor do they understand. “And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is being fulfilled, which says, ‘You will keep on hearing but will never understand; you will keep looking, but will never see. 15 For the heart of this people has become dull, their ears can barely hear, and they have shut their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts. Then they would turn back, and I would heal them.’” -Matthew 13:14-15 TLV In many ways the prophet Isaiah was a forerunner to the Messiah Yeshua, even sharing a name of the same meaning.

I have gut feeling that the rank and file dems (Pelosi, Schumer, etc) already have a plan in place to position their own choice for President in an open convention. They have no love for Kamala Harris and want to let her fail on her own in the public view while behind the scenes install their own puppet or favorite nepotism (Gavin Newsom) candidate. It’s gonna be a wild ride. Conclaves are fun to watch.

Well doctoring is not like the military. Thank goodness. The human body is amazingly complex. And no single doctor can possibly serve a single patient without help from other doctors, nurses, PAs, PTs, dietitians, radiologists. x-ray technicians. I do bones, just bones. I rely on hospitalists, anesthesiologists, infectious disease specialists, cardiologists, and general surgeons to keep my patients alive. I have very thick books and complex websites which i refer to continually to learn and refresh myself on complex problems. We even sometimes have representatives from the hardware developers in the surgical suites to help us construct and implant hardware. I rely upon my scrub techs to help me make sure that surgery is going well, materials are organized, etc. Even the people that clean the rooms and hardware are an integral part of the team. While in surgery we are constantly re-evaluating and I have even requested intra-operative consultations in the past. And I never tell a patient what they need. My job is to explain to them their options, answer their questions, and then execute the decision. When a patient is invested in the decision making process they are much more likely to comply with post op care. The current secret service cluster is a perfect description of an authority not listening to those under them. What a disaster that could have been avoided with some humility and common sense.

Nope, you win.

No response to border czar?

Since I live in CA, I don’t have a dog in the race. My vote does not count. Although I have tried to influence my many children. I have been monitoring the news channels though. Fox News is already taking a victory lap. CNN and MSNBC are either spouting democratic propaganda, commiserating in failure, or assigning blame. I also monitor BBC, Scripps, Sky News, Al Jazeera, AP, and Apple news. There is no way Kamala Harris can win. Have you even been in a room with a bunch of African American women? Man they are brutal to each other. Her speeches are poor and confusing. She slept her way into politics. Her one significant job was border czar…

Can we suppose that a prior prophet made an oversight without claiming they are teaching false doctrine?

I read Jesus The Christ, The Messiah Series (McConkie's 6 volume set), Days of the Living Christ (Cleon Skousen's 2 set volume), and the Gospels. I can only recommend the Gospels at this point in my life. If someone pushed and asked that I recommend a second study source I would recommend Days of the Living Christ.

The number of non-white members in the church is going to skyrocket in the next century. This is going to become more and more of a talking point I can remember in my youth, that I never considered dating a non-white girl secondary to my prejudices fostered by my parents and some of the Mormon teachings. Despite me sensing that many of the non-white girls were delightsome and quite comely. And 20 years ago while talking to an African American LDS business associate, he was trying to explain his understanding of the priesthood ban. I disagreed with him and shared a few passages that I based my reasoning upon. I have felt badly from this experience for the past 2 decades. If I had listened to Grant Hardy's presentation I probably would have been more sensitive and Christlike. That experience probably led me to name my 11th child Elijah Able. https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/history/topics/elijah-able?lang=eng

The wife and I were watching one particularly vengeful woman talking during the hearing. And i remember my wife getting upset at the presenters words and vitriol. And one point the woman recommended that we could worship in a tent. I could feel my wife’s irritation flare and I stated, “Boy is she going to be disappointed.” My wife regained her composure and then hugged me fiercely.
