For Christian American readers of this blog:


I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them.
We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any.

The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God!


A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate:

"Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)."

Thanks Jack!

I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet.

Paul Ryan's proposed budget cuts ... Thanks John M and Frank D!

John M- I wonder if the amounts of each are partial or entire.  I wouldn't mind cutting all of them out entirely!  There are probably more ridculous items in there, but Paul Ryan seems to be the only one searching it out.  I feel certain that Little o won't help with his 'charm offensive'.

Alaska gets this (And Sarah Palin) right!

Stubbs, Cat Mayor in Alaska

Can you imagine an animal as a Mayor in a Mayor’s office. Can you imagine that a mayor can freely sleep whenever, wherever he wants? Yes, there is an animal that has been elected as a Mayor of a small town.

Who, where, when, why and how?

The answers are:
Who: Stubbs, The Cat
Where: Talkeetna, Alaska, USA
When: July, 1997 till date
Why: The locals of Talkeetna didn’t like the candidates who were running for election therefore they went for a cat instead of a man/woman.
How: Stubbs, the cat was elected mayor as a write-in candidate. (A write-in candidate is the one whose name does not appeared on ballot paper but her/his followers can write his/her name on ballot paper)

What the locals say about their decision:

The people of that town said that they got a perfect mayor who is very important for tourism.  Most of the citizens are genuinely happy to let the kitten rule the rest.  The citizens think that Stubbs can attract the tourists which will add more value to their small town.
Like other mayors, Stubbs doesn’t have so many responsibilities. He can move freely and royally. He doesn’t need a wine glass to drink water and doesn’t need any precious plate for eating his lunch and dinner.  We can’t imagine that general people can rub the belly of an honorable mayor. But in Alaska, you can.
This honorable mayor generally hangs out near a superstore where lots of tourists ask for him every year. More than 40 people come every day to meet Stubbs. Imagine how important he is! But, we can say this is not an ultimate solution for choosing a better candidate for mayor.
Stubb’s popularity is not limited to just Alaska, he has about 6,200 fans on facebook. You may also follow him on Facebook.

The surprising health benefits of coconut oil- Thanks borther Jim K!

The Surprising Health Benefits of Coconut Oil

Added to Articles on Mon 10/29/2012
Conventional thought used to consider fats like coconut oil to be unhealthy and contribute to heart disease. We now know that this isn’t true. In fact, coconut oil is actually a heart healthy food that can keep your body running smoother in a few different ways.

What are the health benefits of coconut oil?
Studies have show that intake of coconut oil can help our bodies mount resistance to both viruses and bacteria that can cause illness. Even more, it also can help to fight off yeast, fungus and candida.

Coconut oil can also positively affect our hormones for thyroid and blood sugar control. People who take coconut oil also tend to have improvements in how they handle blood sugar since coconut can help improve insulin use within the body. Coconut oil can boost thyroid function helping to increase metabolism, energy and endurance. It increases digestion and helps to absorb fat-soluble vitamins.

Can coconut oil reduce cholesterol?
Coconut oil has a saturated fat called lauric acid, a type of MCT. It has been shown that lauric acid increases the good HDL cholesterol in the blood to help improve cholesterol ratio levels.  Coconut oil lowers cholesterol by promoting its conversion to pregnenolone, a molecule that is a precursor to many of the hormones our bodies need. Coconut can help restore normal thyroid function. When the thyroid does not function optimally, it can contribute to higher levels of bad cholesterol.

How does coconut help keep weight balanced?
Coconut fats have special fats called medium chain triglycerides (MCTs). It has been shown that breaking down these types of healthy fats in the liver leads to efficient burning of energy. One 2009 study found that women who consumed 30 milliliters (about 2 tablespoons) of coconut oil daily for 12 weeks not only did not gain more weight, but actually had lowered amounts of abdominal fat, a type of fat that is difficult to lose, and contributes to more heart problems.
