PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

North Korea: The Craziness of Libertarian Opinion

Date August 13, 2017 Author By Category Freedom - Pertaining to the world, Miscellaneous

I am in support of President Trump’s strong self defense policy statements.

I’m never surprised by the frequent inanity I hear from liberals, it is to be expected considering their decades of passive compliance to whatever their political gurus dictate combined with their inability to reason and predisposition to emotionalism. However to see many libertarians (who like to identify their mindset with rationality, logic and supposed principle) fall into the very same mindless regurgitation of the nonsense their political gurus espouse is sad. Sadly, lack of critical thinking is prevalent among libertarians, as with many other Americans, regardless of their political ideology.

On The “Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act”

Date August 5, 2017 Author By Category Freedom - Pertaining to the world, Interesting topics

Is this bill bad? Yes. Is President Trump culpable for this bill and its potentially dire consequences to the United States and the world? No.

First, I advise all who do have rejection for what much of this bill enacts to read president Trump’s statement on its signing. This bill was not a result of his ideas or wishes, it was a result of all the spiritually insane ego-driven Congressional members who essentially forced the president to sign their unconstitutional agenda.The agenda of many it appears is not to foster better relations between our nation and Russia (or other nations) if possible, but to do anything within their power (or, in my opinion in this case beyond their constitutionally granted power) to make international tension and problems due to their opposition to the President himself, not caring about what is best for Americans and world peace.

October Gale (a film with Patricia Clarkson, Scott Speedman, and Tim Roth)

Date September 1, 2015 Author By Category All Film Recommendations, Miscellaneous, Recommendations/reviews (articles/writers/films/books/music/etc.), Tim Roth Film Recommendations

 

I appreciated October Gale… a thoughtful, poignant drama with a subtle ever-increasing suspense. Patricia Clarkson was outstanding in her portrayal of a grieving widow, and Scott Speedman and Tim Roth superb in their diametrically opposed roles with the commonality each is suffering from tragedy in their lives. Tom (Tim Roth) is ruthless and Roth’s calm detachment from the violence he evinces is perfect for this character.

The Liability (a film with Tim Roth)

Date July 12, 2015 Author By Category All Film Recommendations, Recommendations/reviews (articles/writers/films/books/music/etc.), Tim Roth Film Recommendations

Another film with Tim Roth which I appreciated. Liked it and recommend it… it was unique!

The Liability, filmed in the North East of England, features Tim Roth as aging hitman Roy whose driver for a day is a young naive man (played by Jack O’Connell) who has taken this 1-day job as a means to pay back his mother’s boyfriend after crashing the man’s car . This is a dark comedy, done well, and relies on the dramatic force of the interplay between Roth and O’Connell’s characters.

Heart of Darkness (a film with Tim Roth and John Malkovich)

Date July 12, 2015 Author By Category All Film Recommendations, Recommendations/reviews (articles/writers/films/books/music/etc.), Tim Roth Film Recommendations

Another film with Tim Roth which I appreciated. Liked it and recommend it… intriguing, engrossing it was.

Heart of Darkness (based on Joseph Conrad’s novella, the teleplay was by Benedict Fitzgerald) features Tim Roth as Marlow and John Malkovich as Mr. Kurtz – both excellent. It’s a thought provoking film, a character study of the two men… and of humanity.

Tim Roth is the sexiest man in the world.

Date April 30, 2014 Author By Category All Film Recommendations, From my life, Interesting topics, Miscellaneous, Tim Roth Film Recommendations

His acting talent is what got my attention – he is such a fine character actor whose work shows exceptional ability to convey emotion and character. Adding to that is my female perception of what I consider attractive – physically – with that face, eyes, accent, swagger, and characteristic comfortable slouching in chairs, he is charming – and adding in his wit, attitude, intellect and outspokenness against evils in the world, makes him a very sexy man.

The Sunset Limited (Cormac McCarthy, Tommy Lee Jones, Samuel L. Jackson) film recommendation

Date February 10, 2014 Author By Category All Film Recommendations, Freedom - Pertaining to the world, Freedom - Spirituality/faith

The Sunset Limited, an outstanding (HBO) film based on Cormac McCarthy’s play of that name, is a production for the intelligent, thoughtful and spiritually questioning viewer. And to be spiritually based, one must always be questioning, for only then is truth being sought. I viewed it on DVD last night.

Photos of deer family

Date January 14, 2014 Author By Category From my life, Miscellaneous

Today I had the blessing of seeing a deer family walking together, eating, and after I took these photos they laid down on the leaves and rested for awhile. Although the photos I took show the father and one child, there were four of them, the adult male and female ,father and mother, accompanied by their two young children. It was beautiful to watch them.  The mother and second child were in the scrub oak trees and bushes just behind these two.

Commentary on “juvenile delinquency” with film recommendation of “Made In Britain” (Tim Roth’s first film)

Date November 5, 2013 Author By Category All Film Recommendations, Freedom - Pertaining to the world, Recommendations/reviews (articles/writers/films/books/music/etc.), Tim Roth Film Recommendations

He’s 16 and angry. He’s Trevor, the young protagonist played by a then approximately 20-year old Tim Roth, in Alan Clarke’s directing of the powerful film classic Made in Britain, based on the screenplay written by David Leland (Mona Lisa, Wish You Were Here), cinematography by Chris Menges (The Mission, The Killing Fields), and producer, Margaret Matheson. Roth’s performance is powerful and outstanding and realistic; it was his first film role.

Beware of “Fans” – many are indeed fanatics (referencing 2 good films “Misery” and “Antiviral”)

Date September 2, 2013 Author By Category All Film Recommendations, From my life, Interesting topics, Miscellaneous, Recommendations/reviews (articles/writers/films/books/music/etc.)

I’ll never forget  watching the film Misery. With Kathy Bates as Annie Wilkes, the obsessed fan who rescues her favorite novelist Paul Sheldon played by James Caan. One could feel the hapless victim’s horror as the ordeal progressed. It was a better horror story than most, because all of us know there really are obsessed fans. You’ve seen them, maybe you’ve unfortunately experienced stress from them, and maybe a few of you are them. Of course, fan behavior varies in degree of severity, but when it controls the person to a large degree and comprises a great part of their life, you know it’s gone too far and entered the realm of emotional unhealthiness.

Grieg: Piano Concerto in A Minor – Adagio…Gore Vidal memory

Date August 14, 2013 Author By Category From my life, Interesting topics, Recommendations/reviews (articles/writers/films/books/music/etc.)

Each time I hear this beautiful piece of music I think of my love for Gore Vidal – all that I learned, the person I became and so early on due to reading his informative mind-opening works…I am ever so grateful…and this music has always, for many years, brought him and his love of truth and his extraordinary life to mind. I also feel a sadness-one of missing, but more so gratitude, and to know his works will live ever more for generations to come to have the blessing of reading is good…so good.

The Nature of True Love

Date July 27, 2013 Author By Category Freedom - Pertaining to the world, Freedom - Spirituality/faith

1. You will never truly love any other – not a child, another relative, a partner, or even a friend – if you have not chosen to love yourself. Your true Self must be loved – nurtured and embraced and developed – or else the “love” you proclaim for another will not be pure and whole. One cannot neglect being true to love of Self and expect to love the true Self of another. Living falsely yourself (being untrue to and neglecting of yourself) means you are false toward others – love cannot live in such falseness.
