Pope John Paul II Documentary - English Language

Somewhat recommendable but weird documentary!

We see pictures of the Pope meeting with President Clinton, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. Extensive coverage of the Pope meeting with Fidel Castro.

However, no pictures of the Pope and President Reagan or Margaret Thatcher!

Not much about how the Pope helped end the Cold War! The Pope was a major player in bringing down the USSR and the former socialist countries!

Helmut Matthies: Gott kann auch anders – Und was ich sonst noch erfahren habe

Empfehlenswert! Interessante Einblicke in die Kirchen nach 1945!

The True Story Behind Roe v. Wade

Very recommendable! A truly shocking story! Among many other things you learn about penumbras and emanations, fancy words used by the U.S. Supreme Court!

Diversity And Inclusion Are Modern Forms Of Racism And Sex Discrimination

Posted: 1/31/2020

Everyday we are assaulted with the ideology and propaganda of diversity and inclusion. This is plain and simply a thinly veiled form of modern racism and sexism. We are told to judge by skin color or ethnic features again not by the content of character or core ethical values and core virtues of an individual. 

What is LGBTQ other than a form of sex discrimination?  

It is a sad and horrible sign of our times!

Booker T. Washington: The Life and the Legacy

Very recommendable!

I think, Booker T. Washington was spot on to offer industrial training for recently freed slaves!

Your Atheist Neighbors WiFi Network

Posted: 1/30/2020

We live in a condominium subdivision where indeed such a WiFi network name shows up when you list all available WiFi networks on your computer or smartphone.

I find it awfully insulting and disrespectful by these atheist neighbors! 

I have previously blogged here about atheism! As the late commentator Charles Krauthammer said: “Atheism is the least plausible of all theologies”!

Bundestag hebt Immunität von Alexander Gauland auf

Sehr gefaehrlich, wie hier mit politischen Gegnern umgegangen wird!

Wahrscheinlich koennte diese sog. "mutmassliche Steuerhinterziehung" gegen jeden beliebigen, unliebsamen politischen Gegner angewendet werden!

Merkel muss weg!

Bundestag hebt Immunität von Alexander Gauland auf Wegen mutmaßlicher Steuerhinterziehung wurden die Wohnungen des Vorsitzenden der AfD-Bundestagsfraktion in Potsdam und Frankfurt durchsucht. Ein Sprecher der Fraktion kritisiert das Vorgehen als „ungerechtfertigt und unverhältnismäßig“

Rolls-Royce will Mini-Kernkraftwerke bauen

Good news! Nuclear power technology has changed so much over the past several decades! 

Die Angst vor Kernkraft in z.B. Deutschland ist extrem irrational und wenig hilfreich!

Merkel muss weg!

Rolls-Royce will Mini-Kernkraftwerke bauen - ingenieur.de: Statt mit einer Leistung von 1600 sollen die so genannten SMR nur 400 Megawatt haben. Alle Module werden am Fließband hergestellt. Das soll die Kosten senken. Begründung: Wir brauchen mehr kohlendioxidarme Stromerzeugung.

Trump’s Unkept Fiscal and Spending Promises

This is probably President Trump's worst failure so far to reign in the huge federal budget deficits and the fast climbing federal debt!

I have some confidence that Trump will address the issues in his second term if the Dimocrats loose the majority in the U.S. House of Representatives!

I have previously blogged about Trump's biggest unresolved issues here:

1. President Trump Urgently Needs To Adress Runaway National Debt (Dec 2018)
2. President Trump's Three Major Economic Challenges (Jul 2019)

Federal deficit from 1960-2019

Trump’s Unkept Fiscal and Spending Promises - The Bulwark: He said he would eliminate the debt. Instead, he has raised spending and avoided necessary reforms.

Report: Turkey leads cyber-spying op against NATO allies

Since Erdogan became the dictator of Turkey it is a valid question why Turkey is still a NATO member!
It is a Cold War relic and oddity anyway that Turkey was allowed to join NATO to prevent its alliance with the former USSR!

New and Positive Stirrings in the Sunni-Arab World

Will we finally see better relations between Israel and Arab countries? While Israel is one of the most prosperous and economically successful countries in the Middle East, the other countries are not! It is high time for Arab countries to come to their senses and follow the example of Israel!

Thus, President Trump's peace plan may have a chance!

Infantile Gesellschaft - Herrschaft der Kindsköpfe

Leider eine akkurate Zustandsbeschreibung fuer Deutschland! Klimahysterie, Wahnsinn der Energiewende usw.

Eine SED Kanzlerin, die ihren Zenit schon seit einigen Jahren laengst ueberschritten hat, und hochreif fuer den Abtritt ist usw.

Infantile Gesellschaft - Herrschaft der Kindsköpfe | Cicero Online: Medien und Politik verklären den gut gemeinten Aktivismus Jugendlicher zur Weltrettungsweisheit, während die Wirtschaft von den Konsumgewohnheiten einer immer infantileren Gesellschaft profitiert. Aber wenn Erwachsene sich wie Kinder behandeln lassen, kennt der Staat bald keine Grenzen mehr
