That's kind of a paraphrase of a 26 year old song, "The Eyes of Texas are Upon You". Ever noticed (it's in one of those "Secrets" books) that when Mickey Mouse in those old cartoons ever looks in one direction to the left or to the right- - his ears never move but are always in the straight ahead position? We move on to this Star Trek episode where Kirk and the gang have been captured by this joker in some eighteenth century style ornate French residence. And there is recoco harpsichord playing and ornate designs, and the guy is decked out in the cocked hat and frilly clothes. But he's always "pulling stuff" on the Star Trek crew- - and Kirk gets the distinct impression the guy can't win in a fair fight and says things like "You know- - you've got a lot to Learn - - about a Lot of things". But then Kirk discovers that he's always in the presence of this giant mirror and deduces that he's somehow getting his power from this big mirror, so he shoots the thing out, and naturally this joker is furious at him. We now move to the US and Israel. There is talk of Sean Hannity of "standing shoulder to shoulder with Israel". But even if I wanted to be a friend to someone, or even my wife, I would not want to be the other half of a Siamese Twin joined with her, assuming that were even genetically possible. I don't want to be so "Joined at the hip" with an Allay that our fates are so intertwined that- - if They are Emboldened because of all the help we give them- - they make all these enemies like with Iran, Syria, and Russia. So the US takes on all the wrath of the common people that had been formerly directed just at Israel. We hear things like "Don't touch the Lord's annointed" and when a preacher says this most often he is not speaking of his fellow members of the church congregation, fellow Christian, but rather speaks of the Nation of Israel. Some would say "No President has ever hated Israel the way the Obama administration has". Let's look at this claim, John Kerry or somebody recently that we have intervened on Israel's behalf over two hundred times in the past several years! If some Powerful Force had intervened on MY behalf "several hundred times' in the past few years, people might rightfully say of me "The trouble is with you Marcus is that you've been leading a charmed life". But if there is one thing I don't want to do is to be known as "Fighting against God's Divine Providence". You never win battles with God. Some might look at my life and say "Well you didn't land that big job several years sooner than your fondest expectations. You didn't get the girl of your dreams and "Live happily ever after" with three perfect children who went on to accomplish greater things than you did". It didn't happen. Some, knowing me and my background might say to me, "Well Marcus it's absolutely Silly to ever EXPECT that the Lord would ever DO such a thing for you. Just look at your life!" But if you're Israel- - you have this "I can do no wrong" glow about you or "annointing" or what have you. With others, blacks, Mexicans, Asians- - - if you get in an argument with them most likely they won't play the Race Card because they know your particular conflict has nothing to do with Race. But can Jewish people make the same claim? I mean- - Dr Levy is a good guy and everything but on certain issues he's just a little- - shallow. And he's constantly touting this "Israel can do no wrong" line. It's like you'd better "Watch it' or you'll get wished into the corn field or something. At times you're not sure how to act around them. Now Congress has invited Netenyahoo to address their body tomorrow. Tomorrow March 3rd will thus be a big day in American History. If the leader were from a less important nation such as England or France, or Mexico or Japan or Canada- - nobody would much care. The event would go un noted in the anals of history. But Israel- - well, that's a horse of a different color. Even Dianne Feinstein said she'd be there and no doubt hanging on every word. I have no idea how the meeting tomorrow will go. I know that Netenyahoo resents the Hell out of the Obama administration for not meeting with him in one of these diplomatic State Dinners at the White House, which they have so many of. We'll just all have to wait and see. But somehow it's like "Israel is watching us" just waiting to be offended at the first vagueness of a hint we are less than one hundred percent gung ho for Israel. That's my take on the whole thing anyhow. You have your oppinion - - and that's what makes a horse race.
(Reuters) - Iran must commit to a verifiable freeze of at least 10 years on sensitive nuclear activity for a landmark atomic deal to be reached, but the odds are still against sealing a final agreement, U.S. President Barack Obama told Reuters on Monday. Interviewed at the White House, Obama moved to dial back tensions over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's planned speech to Congress on Tuesday opposing the Iran deal, saying it was a distraction that would not be "permanently destructive" to U.S. Israeli ties. But he strongly criticized Netanyahu's stance and stressed there was a "substantial disagreement" between them over how to achieve their shared goal of preventing Israel's arch foe from acquiring nuclear weapons. Talks between major powers and Iran to restrict Tehran's nuclear capabilities in exchange for an easing of sanctions have reached a critical stage ahead of an end of March deadline for a framework deal and a June 30 date for a final agreement.
There is a video of a cop shooting of a man on "skid row" they are now promoting on Eye Witness News. They claim the guy was reaching for an officer's gun. I saw the video. Of course if you don't want to hear the word "Mother Fucker" uttered over and over again, maybe you'd better not watch. There were a lot of shots fired, and I imagine that every one of them were fired by LA police officers.
So if I were to say "What Republicans fear the most is the D Word" what word would you be thinking of? Not democratic. Not demogogary. No. The word in this case is "Deficet". Norman Goldman rattled off a bunch of states and I pretty much "Got It" almost instantly, especially when our host kept dropping hints. Still it was interested to hear the creative, but very wrong answers that callers gave to Goldman's posed question. So what do certain states have in common? The states are Washington, Virginia, Wisconsin, Illinois, Louisiana, Alabama, and Pennsylvania. All of these states are suffering from deficets in excess of one billion with a B, dollars. This includes Scott Walker's Wisconsin, and also New Jersey- - another state on the list. How can Scott Walker stand there and say "I have turned the state of Wisconsin around" when clearly- - - Wisconsin's deficet is in excess of two billion dollars. Kansas is also on that infamous list. That's a lot of states with raging deficets. Pennsylvania used to be totally run by Republicans except for the past couple of months. How to you take a state from a surplus to a deficet and claim success. Those on the right were hoping and praying they could come after California and Jerry Brown, but they can't because our state has a record budget surplus right now. So if the democrats had any balls they'd make "liberal" use of the D word. They should cram this deficet issue down Republican governor's throats at every oppertunity. But for some reason democrats just don't know how to campaign, don't know how to fight. If they did they would have won last year. But of course two unforeseen things completely dominated the election cycle last year. One was Ebola, and the other was ISIS. And on both counts we heard a LOT more about both ISIS and Ebola BEFORE the November election, as opposed to afterward. ISIS has only been around in its recognizable form since last June. That isn't very long. It just seems a lot longer period than that because we've had ISIS crammed down our collective throats- - nonestop - - by the "Drive by media".
In cosmic news the latest on the Taccomans, is that John Lennon has weighed in on the Taccoman issue and he's against it. If you parse his words it seems to be an argument of "It's better to deal with the Devil we have and know (referring to the Federation) rather than the one we don't know". John asked around for oppinions of others and Kurt Cobain agreed with John and put it in even stronger terms. He said "I don't know what will happen if the Taccomans take over communacation- - I just know it's going to be really bad and we shouldn't allow it to happen". That's the latest on that. Mal Evans appreciates John Lennon's support. On another matter- - the latest theory I have on "The day I was really born" is March 3rd. I won't make all those arguments now- - but a whole lot of puzzle pieces fit for that day. So I don't know how I really feel about being a Pisces. A lot of people already say I'm swimming in two directions at once.
