Morning Reads – Wednesday, January 16, 2019
Session is back in. Makes me think of this song:
Now, for the news.
- Homeowners and associations are turning to license plate reading technology to help Police ID suspected criminals.
- Brian Kemp’s Inaguaration speech can be found here.
- The DIA believes that the Chinese troops have reached peak ego and might be looking to make their ownership of the little island to the east official.
- I had no idea that there was a Miss UGA… either way, congrats!
- DFCS is sending out the food stamp money early… just in case.
- Space wine is the new ice wine? The other Georgia thinks it just might be.
- Some people think UGA fans have been smoking some of the special herb to think Georgia belonged in the CFP this year… UGA made it official. G-Day is on 4/20…
- Speaking of pot, a former chewing gum mogul is buying a company based in Mass. that cultivates, dispensenses medically, and has a retail store that sells cannabis.

Thieving, sliding maggot dead. Do you think he’ll steal another car?

How many know the Chinese have been exploring the far side of the moon for a couple of weeks? They’re mapping the terrain, checking radiation levels, and taking soil samples. They transported 13 separate payloads including scientific experiments for the Saudis, Swedes, Dutch, and Germans. They’re looking at using 3-D printing to build houses from moon dirt. They sprouted some cotton seeds. They want a permanent base.
https://www.space.com/43000-china-moon-exploration-plans-research-base.html
They actually landed a robotic probe? Wow! Wasn’t that already done 60 years ago? It took them that long to steal the technology…
Maybe they can find the first fossils of life from earth… from asteroid debris from earth ejected to the moon. Those same fossils were long destroyed here by volcanic activity and plate tectonics. Its gonna show fairly complex early life that showed up on earth in an instant. Not some long drawn out primordial soup and a bacteria just shows up out of the goo…proabably going to be photosynthetic life that should have taken eons to “evolve” but was there almost from the start…
You talking about the hand of god moving across the waters, or are you talking about panspermia, the theory that organic compounds and maybe microbes come from meteorites and helped fertilize the earth? Either way I wonder what an instant means in a context of billions of years.
They aint no panspermia from a meteorite. It couldn’t live, conditions where they are, the intense radiation, the distances traveled…etc.
There is only place not hostile to life in our entire solar system and most likely our galaxy— its right here. And thank God for climate change or we would not be here today. There were almost no prebiotics when the first life showed up 3.8 billions years ago. We were a ball of glowing rock and almost no water at that time. There was not remotely enough time for life to have evolved in an instant. So atheists and evolutionists has virtually nothing to hang their hat on. It is harder and harder because of science to be an atheist any more.
It was right after the asteroid heavy bombardment that life just showed up here. Yep, it was a miracle. Hand of God. Life has been here that long. It is going to be photosynthetic life too. Very complex. Not some single celled blob. The compenents of a single cell to just show up are staggering. Virutally impossible. The advanced stuff had DNA which has 3 billion functioning, replicating bases. Not random crap. Those fossils are long gone on the earth. But will be on the moon.
Fascinating stuff.

The universe had a beginning. Thus a creator.
All of the wizards of smart in the world today… not a one can create a living thing. Have no clue how it came about. Much less the prolific life on earth.
Much less the almost overnight showing up of advanced life. Much less life that has a soul.
They should be in pristine condition on the moon! And likely on other planets around the solar system…but spread there from earth not the other way around.
Unreal.
I’m just gonna chuckle a little at how 100% certain you are about 100% of the Earth, the universe, and everything, based upon the .0000000000001% of potential knowledge we have about the literally infinite universe. Then linking to an article which says, quote: “No one knows.” Then not believing a 97% consensus among climate scientists.
You’re a Creationist, fine. You also appear to appreciate the cosmos. Wonderful.
But your views of science are at times twisted, in order to accommodate your beliefs (although science also appears to inspire your beliefs, which is cool).
I personally believe strongly in both science and God, but I don’t presume to know what we don’t know.
Well then we believe the same thing. Plenty of science AND Gdo. I figured you might come at me from the atheist angle but you did not.
Nothing is certain. I am relaying the latest in scientific research. You might read a few Hugh Ross books. There is plenty of science and God.
The more science we are exposed to daily, the harder it is to deny a God. The fine tuning required for life and our existence today is unfathomable.
…
I doubt we believe the same thing, but that’s clearly in part because my beliefs, like science, evolve.
But I am both a scientist and a Sunday school teacher.
So, it’s all one.
Balance, honestly I bet we think exactly alike on these topics. Go read Hugh Ross’s books, Improbable Planet and Why the Universe is the way it is. You probably wont put them down.
I would send them to you but you probably don’t want your address listed. If you do, I will send them today.
His Sunday school classes are on Youtube. His debates on hundreds of college campuses are online and I love his debates with the leading atheists. He is NEVER confrontational. Nor should be.
I bet you will love the guy. He is an astrophysicist and I think smarter than Stephen Hawking and that is hard to do. He is an expert in chemistry, biology, physics and the BIBLE! Unreal. The BIBLE got it right!!
He is a minister and the smartest guy I have ever read. He is also a minister for 40 years and has an organization called Reasons to Believe for 30 years. He has a fabulous website and everything is free and linked.
https://www.reasons.org/Reasons.org
You should follow him on Twitter and get weekly updates on the latest scientific breakthrough. I got one today about how crows are smarter than chimps… and another about Galaxy formation and dating. It is better than the latest political hate fest daily. If someone is not a believer before, you will be afterward. Because of science. NOT DOGMA.
I have a science degree myself but not in the science field now.
I’ll check him out.
I’m not about to debate creationism but panspermia is an interesting theory. Scientists have found organic compounds including amino acids in meteorites, and it’s not inconceivable they contributed to the development of life on earth.
“There is only place not hostile to life in our entire solar system and most likely our galaxy— its right here.”
Life persists in very hostile conditions on earth, in mid-ocean vents with temperatures above boiling, in extreme salty or alkaline lakes, miles underground, inside rocks, in high radiation environments. It seems presumptuous for you to put a limit on the powers of the God you believe in by saying life is ‘right here’ and nowhere else.
Sure its a great theory but its circular logic….how did the life get there in asteroid flying through space in the first place?.
An organic compound…a building block of a more complex amino acid….a building block of a protein and then billions of them in a single DNA molecule. Sure its all random..
All coming from hydrogen, a star turns it to helium and after that star formation up to Iron….then supernovas powerful enough to create the other ejectments. All expanding through the universe in a fine tuned or there is no life at all.
I am extolling the power of God in case you missed it. I would say his fingerprints are everywhere. The atheists and evolutionist are having a harder time each day. So much fine tuning.
There could certainly be life elsewhere and all to God’s glory.
Go send a tornado through the junk yard and have a perfectly functioning 747 in the wake. Not gonna happen. Any kind of life dwarfs the complexity of the pile of aluminum and electrical wires in a 747. A single cell animal is more complex that a pile of hydrogen and helium that comprise a galaxy.
Try a single DNA molecule. Then come up with a human brain. From panspermia.
Don’t get me wrong, DNA mutations occur, there are changes in species all the time. Look at dogs from wolves….But not these quantum jumps to get big bangs, origins fo life, advanced life and life that has a soul.
Just my spin.
May be, but I’m thoroughly convinced that Snivler evolved from an ape!
I wonder how much cash that loudmouth Vincente Fox got?
https://nypost.com/2019/01/15/el-chapo-paid-100m-bribe-to-ex-mexican-president-secretary/
How long before the shutdown inspires primary challenges in some Republican districts? Is there a silver lining where voters start actively rewarding “radical moderates”?
Valid point but the next election is a long way off. A prediction that is gonna surprise you. There will be too much pressure on Trump. He’s gonna take Graham’s “partial reopen” scenario within a week. Gov’t to reopen.
Maybe after some new polls come out early next week or so. I think there’s going to be a crack in the floor that until now has seemed unbreakable. And if primary challengers do announce, that will certainly change the equation.
The saddest truth is that if something awful happens- God forbid- like a plane crash due to air traffic personnel problems- Trump will have zero political capital for the rest of his term.
No, Trump will send cold rancid cheeseburders to victims families. Look at how low we’ve sunk.
“Look at how low we’ve sunk…”
Agree 1000%!!! Yalls hate is literally all consuming! Seriously! Trump ordering in pizza and burgers for college kids? That’s bad somehow? There is nothing you Weenies will nor criticize!
Weenies? Hold my Grey Poupon…
It is pitiful. No kitchen open at the White House, so Trump has fun with the kids. Buys a bunch of burgers, pizzas and with a sense of humor and gratitude everyone has a great time….other than the political haters!! You know what I think of them?… I know one of the kids there, not well mind you, but he had a blast.
You know what was refreshing about the whole Clemson win and visit to the White House? Folks were hard working, jovial, grateful, multi- racial and cultural, working for the common goals and good, building each other up and NOT one whining, sniveling, anti- American, hateful, overtly political person with a chip on their shoulder, trying to become a celebrity and divide everyone. How refreshing don’t you think?!
Not nary a taking a knee, divisive MISERABLE, WHINING SNOWFLAKE IN THE LOT. The country can learn from Dabo, those players, their classiness, humbleness, being thankful for their blessings, literally thanking the creator himself multiple times. Honestly those folks showed love for each other.
Now contrast that with any sniveling a–holes that tried to take away something negative from that event. Well guess who it is? The same folks that are so consumed with hate they want to try and ruin this experience for their own political gain don’t they? Would you say those are sick, miserable little folks like Potter in It’s a Wonderful Life? The same ole haters.
Yes, that is a truly memorable occasion. McDonalds. Something to look back on wistfully.
Trump calls back another 50,000 to work without pay, but not 20 people to work the kitchen for one day?
And where is the food coming from for all these “working lunches” he is having trying to avert blame for the shutdown? Is that catered? Are the Congressional dining rooms open?
As I pointed out the hypocrisy that is complaining about people complaining about cheeseburgers after complaining about people who prefer Dijon mustard, I will also point out the hypocrisy that as you complain, DTM, about others being full of hate, so are your posts layered with hate. Go ahead and re-read your posts.
Balance I have no problem denouncing the haters. Yes they make me sick. I don’t like ungrateful folks. I really don’t.
I dont mind pointing it out. It is politically incorrct to call bullshit when you see it today. Well call me politically incorrect.
But is my starting point hateful? Hell no it isnt. Just today’s posts are a PERFECT EXAMPLE!
How can anyone come up with something hateful when it comes to Clemson winning and having a White House visit? Sheer joy right? Nope.
Well you have to be a sick F to come up with something negative. Well goooollllleeee Gomer, look at them. Same hateful goobers on a daily basis.
It is pointing out the baloney. I don’t judge folks by their color, what kind of plumbing they are born with or anything else. Just how to you treat folks…I think MLK got it right don’t you? What happened to the rest of these haters?
Who is more hateful? The haters or the haters that hate the haters? Or the haters that hate the haters that hate the haters…
Without a drop of moral equivalence, there is only one way to end the hate. Stop hating. Counteract what you find wrong, but to simplify for you: Stop calling ppl “a-holes” and such. Remove the hate from your heart and words, and maybe we’ll all get somewhere.
Balance that you have to ask the questions says a lot does it? It is not moral equivalence.
Don’t you as a parent try to correct a wayward child?
Or maybe do you coddle them and run to the school and bust the teacher’s rear end?
The question exists because the problem exists, and I directed it towards you because your posts contained hate- i.e. are part of the problem.
Yes, you correct children, but you don’t use violence, or yell at the top of your lungs “No Yelling!”.
Be the change you wish to see.
If there is any snowflake with stupid hateful posts its you little buddy. Isnt about time for another racist and Nazi post. I will give you credit, you at least had a humorous one a minute ago. What is about a blind hog finding a acorn?
Incited? Give me your fact check on that.
Agree totally Balance. So screaming at folks and calling them racist and Nazi pigs is not very effective and purely hateful. You would certainly not do that to kids, adults or anyone else if you had any class, manner or honestly would you?
Especially when it is not even possibly true. Yet that seems to be the foundation of one of our parties.
“Seems to be the foundation of on of our parties.”
I think the “seems to be” is in no small part a byproduct of media coverage that focuses on the haters.
Not that hate shouldn’t be called out. It should. But it could be presented in proportion to the population of people and stories.
So true. I figure I know several thousand folks at most 2 might be considered racist, Far less than 1% of the folks I know.
How about any of us? So the libs saying 50% of the country is racist or NAZI is pure lies and not possibly accurate.
Sniv, how many racist friends to you have? What %? Be honest.
I laugh at Trump all the time and it is about time YOU DID! Geeze, the libs need to lighten up. Hell Trump was joking about Russian having Hillary’s emails…and the press runs with that as collusion. o did the J Edgar FBI!! Crooks in this case.
His comments about Mexico paying for the wall is a throw line at the conventions for his base….did you think Vincente Fox was going to send his cartel bribe to the US to literally paying for the wall? But the libs took him literally! How many times did YOU post about it.
He is tweaking libs and of the press daily and owns the news cycle. And I cant wait for a State of the Union blasting the dems for not doing a GD thing! Which is the gospel truth. He is doing the right thing.
I laughed out loud at Trump Telling the Germans they were out of their mind for coddling up to Russia for gas pipelines while not paying their Nato bills. Funny as hell honest as hell and has a point.
Hey, have y’all figured out how to make money off of the shutdown yet?
No but if I could make short-selling cash like I’ve been doing lately, I would!
Yea, the market is up 11% since Christmas even while no one gives a crap about the slowdown.
Normal people are laughing at Trump’s unconventional menu but not laughing with derision like you turds! They think it’s funny in a supportive way! The kids loved it. You ninnies are the only ones butthurt, pet your usual!
I personally could care less about cheeseburgers or mustard. But I do believe passionately in understanding how many flaws are truly bipartisan, or even common amongst all of us as people, and that we can therefore moderate ourselves and our language, and make our posts and contributions better.
How many times have you been banned for screeching racism and Nazi and all sort of hateful spew? How many fake posts and identities have you assumed? Hmmm.
Yep little buddy, you might want to quit worrying about the speck in everyone else’s eye and the redwood in yours!
“know that I contribute enough content-wise…” Yeah, Rain Man, I’m actually beginning to mistake you for John Grisham! LOL!
You are not telling the truth and you know it!
Kumbaya, My Lord…Kumbaya…
I have to try.
It’s a perennial New Year’s resolution.
Plus, I believe that you don’t get to complain about something if you have the ability, and at least try to do something about it.
How much longer does it take to realize the Pelosi, Schumer and the democrats hate TRUMP MORE THAN doing the right thing for the America people? They will DO ANYTHING TO ANYONE TO ADVANCE THEIR SOCIALIST AGENDA.
All Nancy and Schumer are doing to Trump is the same thing they did to Kavanaugh. And the Russia probe is another example of the FBI doing the same thing to Trump.
I encourage anyone to try and say otherwise. The evidence is there.
If we had an honest press the democrats would be catching all kinds of hell. What are we getting from the libs. Muslim congresswomen screaming lets impeach the MFer! He is a racist and Nazi….wonder what morons say that all the time even on this blog?
Such love and positive messages for our kids don’t you think? These are supposed adults and roll models? Spare me!
He is trying to do his job. Does anyone think the immigration situation in this country is nothing but a disorganized, idiotic cluster F?
One side says, no its just great! No one believes that.
Are you a parrot? Polly want a cracker or maybe racist or Nazi?

Posted this mainly for the artwork… content is okay too,…
Perdue, clueless and on the wrong side yet again:
GOP Sen David Perdue: If Trump agrees to reopen government, then ‘where’s the leverage’ for him to get his wall?
https://www.cnbc.com/2019/01/16/gop-sen-david-perdue-if-government-reopens-trump-loses-leverage-on-the-wall.html
He’s right. THe libs will leave waves of caravans in and just send them to the voter enrollment places, the welfare line, free this and that and expand the prison rolls.
In the “careful what you ask for department…” Pelosi says she’s postponing Trump’s State of the Union until gov’t is reopened. I hope she does. Then…The Great Man…can deliver it at one of his rallies!! Before a group of Real Americans who actually care about the state of OUR union!!. The Constitution don’t say where that there speech has to be delivered from!! AWWWWWWWWW NAWWWWWWWW!! Throw TGM in that briar patch, Nancy!
https://apnews.com/d90578a1687049e9a67db01582ce4278
Yea, go have the State of the Union at a Trump rally so the placard carrying socialists cant “act a fool”! And tell us about the great State of the Union and how the socialists have done nothing to help the good news and are doing everything they can do to derail it.. Matter of fact they have been holding us back for decades.
And none more so on display than now. Lets all the illegals in. Vote…get free health care and let the poor saps in the middle class get further slammed.
Maybe the libs will be back from the lobbying junket, free liquor and sunscreen and actually do their damn job! I am sure Trump will point this out.
Matter of fact, I hope he holds out until the State of the Union to blow these folks out
How many died of global warming during the shutdown? How about last year. How about ever? Let Trump show folks how those nimrods have no problem taxing you trillions to line their pockets and have no impact at all.
He should do it from the border.
Good call Chef. Dodging bullets, coyotes, drugs, criminals…all with Pelosi and Schumer putting suntan oil on each other handing out free cash, voting cards and telling us there is no problem! Like they are now!
The cold is coming….

Just perfect. CNN has another clueless jerk calling everyone a racist. Remember that any conservative black person is not black enough to some of these morons…whatever that is. Why is it the liberals glom on to another example of hateful idiocy? Help me here. Is the starting point the golden rule per chance? Hardly.
