F Graham (son of Billy) "Opposing Trump is the work of the Devil"

And another threshold of crazy is crossed by some Evangelical leaders. Why in hell is this idiot, Trump, some kind of Evangelical hero?

The Atlantic: Are Trump’s Critics Demonically Possessed?
Two of the president’s prominent evangelical supporters are literally demonizing his opponents.
Quote:

It isn’t enough for Franklin Graham and Eric Metaxas, two prominent figures within the American evangelical movement, to lavish praise on President Donald Trump. They have now decided they must try to demonize his critics.

Literally....

During his November 21 interview with Graham, Metaxas, a Salem Radio Network talk-show host, asked the son of the late evangelist Billy Graham, “What do you think of what is happening now? I mean, it’s a very bizarre situation to be living in a country where some people seem to exist to undermine the president of the United States. It's just a bizarre time for most Americans.”

Franklin Graham, president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelical Association, responded, “Well, I believe it’s almost a demonic power that is trying—”

At which point Metaxas interjected, “I would disagree. It’s not almost demonic. You know and I know, at the heart, it’s a spiritual battle.”


Not about money, no siree:
Quote:

...(Graham argued that a strong economy leads to more tithing and church-building programs.) ...

To which Graham responded, “I believe that Donald Trump believes—he believes in God. He believes in Jesus Christ. His depth—he doesn’t, you know, he went to churches here in New York; he didn’t get a whole lot of teaching.”
Quote:

...They didn’t make the case that Trump critics are sincere but wrong, or even that they are insincere and unpatriotic. Instead, they felt compelled to portray those with whom they disagree politically as under demonic influences, which for a Christian is about as serious an accusation as there is. It means their opponents are the embodiment of evil, the “enemy,” anti-God, a kind of anti-Christ.

Quote:

Just ask yourself where this game ends. Do demonic powers explain opposition to all politicians supported by Graham and Metaxas, or to Trump alone? Would they argue that all Christians (and non-Christians) who oppose Trump are under the influence of Satan? ...

For Graham and Metaxas, it appears that agreeing with them equates to agreeing with God—and disagreeing with them, at least when it comes to Donald Trump, means doing the work of the evil one.
Of course they went on to lie about Trump's economy (great) and falsely denigrate Obama's (a disaster).

But when Clinton's economy was even better, these guys were not excusing his morals.


How can the NRSC say that if you try to sue us, then we’ll just choose arbitrator?

So, I’m getting unsolicited texts from the National Republican Senatorial Committee (packed with lies, but that’s another matter). I go to their website and I am reading all the fine print and I come across the claim that if there is any legal dispute, you agree to not file a class action suit and you agree to arbitration in Seattle, Washington.

If I haven’t entered into an agreement with them, how can they say that I have to use arbitration in Washington?


"Doctor on Demand" and other telemedicine

I'm seeing a proliferation of online medical services, both physical and mental, and am, shall I say, skeptical about them? How does a doctor know when a patient isn't drug seeking or Munchausen? Can a real evaluation be done with no physical contact? I know there are situations, such as being in Antarctica, where actually meeting with the doctor might be impossible, but as a routine health practice, I find it suspect.

Phil McGraw, of "Dr. Phil" fame, is pushing the online service he created, and I think that's added to my unease with the idea.

Am I unjustified?


This is why we are all doomed

Apostrophe campaign ends due to 'ignorance and laziness'


Quote:

A retired journalist who founded a campaign to preserve the correct use of the apostrophe is bowing out because "ignorance has won".

The Apostrophe Protection Society was started by John Richards in 2001 to tackle misuse of the punctuation mark.

His work involved advising people on proper use and writing to organisations to highlight their apostrophe abuse.

The 96-year-old said: "We have done our best but the ignorance and laziness present in modern times have won."



Dark Matter is Virtual Mass

Dark Matter is not a particle. A cloud chamber says it isn't viable.

So you can get Dark Matter two ways: Matter that was tossed in a black hole or a Matter/Antimatter fight.
Annihilation doesn't include the quantum waves which is what Dark Matter is.

All Unobserved Matter Waves have mass ..including Dark Matter. They all are not physical until observed, but Dark Matter is decapitated ..it doesn't have the ability to gain a physical state. It remains quantum waves.

Dark Matter it is a mass variable in the quantum field. Annihilation experiments in the past were not equipped to discover mass as a variable ..virtual. A photon being released from an antimatter experiment shows it wasn't large enough or didn't take place in the same conditions at the beginning of time.

The law of conservation of mass/energy is directly related (Annihilation to Dark Matter)
Virtual mass effects the bending of spacetime. Mass is virtual in a matter-wave, real when observed.

Annihilation is probably the most extreme event observable matter can endure. I wonder if the annihilation event itself generates a new unobservable matter wave. How can we be so sure of the conditions at the beginning of time? What are the requirements for annihilation? What if the starting conditions didn't permit energy release? If only matter annihilated, conservation would want virtual mass. I wonder if fusion is taking place during annihilation to contribute to the larger mass of Dark Matter.

Dark Matter behaves like a ghost atom. It doesn't interact with matter because it is only waves. It sinks into gravity wells because spacetime can't tell the difference.

Quantum weirdness events (superposition, entanglement, tunneling) do not occur when spacetime is involved. They happen in their own dimension of quantum waves. Observed particles are in duality mode, the quantum field is still treating it like a wave while spacetime is making it physical. Dark Matter doesn't have a duality mode, it remains unobservable quantum waves no matter what.

Dark Matter is my proof of a dimension of unobservable quantum waves.

Virtual mass effects the bending of spacetime. Mass is virtual in a matter-wave, real when observed.

Delayed Choice Quantum Eraser
Shows us the entire path of the particle is known before it starts moving. Entangled particles hold the same state while in flight. When the first particle hits it's final panel in a shortened path, it knows if its entangled brother will ever be physical or not in flight. Aka, it knows if spacetime got involved.

Which Way Quantum Eraser
Something very interesting happens when you cause two state changes in the path of a particle before it hits a final panel. If a particle knows (the unreal dimension) two state changes are going to occur, it goes back to being unreal quantum waves. When you see fringes appear on the final panel, it is because the quantum waves ignored the polarizers at the slits and the additional polarizer as unreal quantum waves. Waves pass though physical objects ..spacetime objects.

The evidence is the results we get with current experiments. If you insist on a new experiment then you could do this: Access a tunneling experiment that is already known to display tunneling through a barrier. On the side that the particle exits the barrier you make sure the particle will be observed before it hits a final panel. If I'm correct, you should not get any results on the final panel.

Accepting what I have said about Dark Matter allows us to have a unifying theory of everything. We just have to add a dimension of unobservable quantum waves and a physical state dispatcher.


The Guardian website 'broken' in Firefox?

Well, 'damaged' anyway. When I go to it I get a brief glimpse of the front page headlines, then it skips straight to the bottom of the page. Clicking "Back to top" or "home" sorts that out. But if I then click a link the same thing happens.

This is happening on two laptops, but in Firefox only. Chrome is fine.

Any clues?


Ilhan Omar's Opponent Wants Her Hung

https://www.rollingstone.com/politic...witter-919956/

One of Ilhan Omar's potential 2020 GOP opponents wants the Congresswoman hung. Danielle Stella, currently running for her party's nomination to unseat Omar stated that she should be tried for treason and hung. The Republican apparently believes a conspiracy theory that Omar is an agent of Qatar and is passing information on behalf of that country to Iran. It goes without saying that there is no evidence for Omar working for Qatar.

As any committed Trump supporters should, she also has issues with criminality, a common trait for their kind.
