My Original Basic Blog, but with occasionally enticing writing and an equally interesting point of view. My MORE ACTIVE Blog is here: https://tuneuppromos.wordpress.com
I need not seek to be recognized. I can give honor to God whether or not I’m openly appreciated by others. A Christ-first attitude can subdue any petty jealousies
or unhealthy competition.
I’m feeling thankful and searching for ways I can give back from what little I have left to give.
According to the Red Cross data, many of the deaths were due to cold, with 505 alone occurring in one country – Peru! Among the top disasters were brutal winters in the USA and japan – hardly what one would expect from “global warming.

Probably the only ones who will continue to scream despite raw factual data to the contrary are the ones who depend upon grants and foundation monies. ~ TU
To Wit: Link to CNN Jake Tapper – Ben Carson Interview
CNN is dangerously close to becoming a complete propaganda machine.
This past May, Salami said that Iran desires a war with the United States.
“We monitor their acts day and night and will take every opportunity to set fire to all their economic and political interests if they do a wrong deed,” Brigadier General Hossein Salami, the IRGC’s lieutenant commander, was quoted as saying in Tehran on Thursday. “We have prepared ourselves for the most dangerous scenarios and this is no big deal and is simple to digest for U.S.; we welcome war with the U.S. as we do believe that it will be the scene for our success to display the real potentials of our power,” he said at the time.
This is not totally new thinking. And there is no denying that french fries are an amazing food that brings many taste sensations that top the list of our favorites. But they are somehow seen as healthier than sugar loaded dishes and even potato chips (mostly also fried) and eaten often in abundance to ‘fill’ that hole in your stomach. Why is it that we cast away common sense and indulge so heavily?
However – the wonderful creation brought by US Soldiers back to the USA after WWII from Belgium are even worse for you as once believed.
More evidence that fried food raises heart attack risk
At least it looks like they’ve got enough Porta-Potties.
And while you’re at it down there, folks… Faster horses! Younger women! Older whiskey! And more money!
It’s time to gear up for G7 demonstration time. Jeepers creepers. This is going to be like Blockupy, Burning Man and Woodstock all rolled up into one! And to really give that special psychedelic touch, let’s do it in German.
The main demonstration was due to kick off at 1200 GMT in the state capital Munich, around 100 kilometres (60 miles) north of the Alpine venue where Chancellor Angela Merkel is to welcome leaders from the club of rich nations from Sunday.
Stop G7 Elmau!
Charlemagne’s Stones
The haunted stones of “Karlsteine im Hone”, a former pagan temple and burial area. A megalithic chambered tomb built sometime between 3,500 and 2,800 BC, the alleged phenomenon is said to be a result of pagan priests being killed, and their graves desecrated, by Charlemagne.
There is a legend that he broke the site’s largest altar stone with just one blow, to prove Christian beliefs were stronger than paganism.
The population of this region, as many others during Charlemagne’s reign, converted to Christianity – the alternative being death.
Charlemagne, Charles the Great, was later crowned western Europe’s first Emperor in three centuries by Pope Leo III in 800 AD, and his remains lie in Aachen cathedral, the oldest cathedral in northern Europe.

Sadly, however, he has grown weary of the corporate grind, clients’ gobble-dee-gook and all the competitive hoopla.
Scott has yearned to return to his first love of acting and entertaining his audience for years, and now–in becoming the best third member of The Don’t We Boys–he will fulfill his destiny and grow ever more powerful, assuring his plans of world domination and the dissolution of money and all governments.

And Another
The Don’t We Boys Did
Geesh. This guy Alexis Tsipras (Greece PM) is digging a moat around himself and his countrymen/women at an increasing pace.
It’s not like I go goose-stepping around Devos Place or anything – but I have to work smoothly with a very pleasant Greek woman and this makes it harder since I have German heritage.
It’s not just Germany hurting Greek feelings anymore (although the Germans are still evil, too).
The Greek government is now accusing Spain and Portugal of conspiring against it, as well. It’s a conspiracy, you see, because these two countries are willing to carry out the stringent reforms needed to get their economies going again. Greece clearly is not.
Greece’s leftist Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras accused Spain and Portugal on Saturday of leading a conservative conspiracy to topple his anti-austerity government, saying they feared their own radical forces before elections this year.
How much longer is this show going to go on?
“Nach europäischen Maßstäben war das ein sehr ungewöhnliches Foulspiel. Das tun wir nicht in der Euro-Gruppe, das gehört sich nicht.”
