Three Powerful Men

I call Putin the Chess Player, Obama the Smooth Talker, and Xi Jinping the Deal Maker. Arguably, they are the 3 most powerful men on earth today.

China - U.S. Cooperation

President Xi Jinping is visiting the U.S.  China and the U.S. must work with each other. If they fight, the whole world will suffer. If they cooperate, which they should, good things can happen that benefit both countries and the world.

Xi To See Obama

Chinese President Xi Jinping will pay a state visit to the United States from Sept. 22 to 25 at the invitation of U.S. President Barack Obama. I said this before, and now again, that China needs the U.S. and the U.S. needs China. The world needs both. Please take the advice of Jimmy Carter: respect each other. Please talk Peace, Protection, and Prosperity for China, USA and the World. 

First Day

Every day is the first day of your life. Enjoy it !!!   

The Truth of Nine One One

Today is the 14th anniversary of 911. Do you believe the U.S. Government told the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth? If you do, you are a sheep. If you don't, you are not crazy. Do some studies. Don't be lazy !!!

Kim Davis

A friend posted a picture of Kim Davis in Facebook with these words:

"God's law is above the laws of a nation" - Senator Mike Huckabee.

Let's have a look at one of God's laws. "Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge must be put to death" - Deuteronomy 17:12  

My thoughts and comments:

I am an ex-Catholic and ex-Christian. I've left the organized Christian religion, but I keep some of the good teachings of Christ, like Love and Forgiveness. I no longer consider the Bible holy. It is the Bible, but not Holy Bible.

In the Bible, you can find many good things and also lots of craps. You can quote one verse to reject another verse. I've found it almost futile to argue with the fundamental conservative Christians, I mean by using their same Bible which they claim to be the words of God. They would insist on the authority of certain verse that they use, but reject your verse which came from their same Bible. Quoting the Bible is just a game of cherry picking, not necessarily an authority to approve or disapprove anything.

In this story, Kim Davis, the Kentucky clerk who refused to issue marriage license to gay couples had been put to jail for contempt of court. She was then released and became a 15 minutes hero of the conservative Christians.

My opinion is that since Kim Davis cannot perform her job of issuing marriage license to gay couples, for doing so is against her conscience and religious belief, then she should resign and find another job. To keep the job, get paid, while not being ready, willing and able to do the work and serve the people is rather hypocritical with no integrity.

Refugees

Refugees arriving in Munich were met by welcoming crowds.Thumbs Up to Angela Merkel of Germany. Sorry but Thumbs Down to Stephen Harper of Canada.

Dear Prime Minister Harper, you said the root cause of the refugees was ISIS. No, please look back, way back, before ISIS came to existence. The root cause was Uncle Sam's Militarism and Interventionism, in meddling around with the affairs of other countries, including Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and more. You broke the vase, or helped break the vase, so you own it. There is no excuse not to fix it. Even if you think you did not break the vase, you must still help the refugees. Why? Many reasons, but here is one simple reason: because we are Canadians, and you are the Prime Minister of Canada.
