RUMINATIONS II .... If I had a vote I don't think I would vote for the Iran deal. I think the US should have walked away from negotiations. Chamberlain got a deal from Hitler. Any students of history? Why hand $100B over to Iran for starters? Let alone their resumed oil/gas production revenues? Anyone hearing "Death To America" and "Death to Israel" from these thugs? Their forces are in Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, Yemen, Iraq and probably more. Surrounding the Sunnis. Funny how Kuwait, Oman, Emirates, others in peace? Who has Libya now? Egypt actually in fair sane control except for Sinai. The canal in danger. North Africa in chaos from jihad. Reminds me that our planet is only 8 thousand miles wide amidst an infinite universe. Ponder on pards.

RUMINATIONS .... How much time do you spend in silence every day? Silence connects us to our spirit and possibly God .... And the next time Iran yells "death to America" and "death to Israel" should crowds in America and/or Israel yell back "death to Iran"? No. That wouldn't be Christian or Jewish or nice of us.

OK, Crimea may be a give me back from Kruschev days. OK. That's only 50-60 years under Ukraine governance. Big Russian navy base there. But. Why the power grab? Vlad's a small guy. He has to bully his way to equal standing with average height men. Remember Napoleon, anyone? .... And then there's Kim Jung Yuk Ill of North Korea. Oy. Surely feel for the people that have to live there .... Finally, I wish Warren Buffett would lead a "Draft Bill Gates For President" campaign in a 3rd party bid. Trump a 4th party bid? Who knows, pards. Verily, we may be at some new way of looking at everything. We may even be at the end of this 2nd age. Godspeed good guys.

I WISH .... I wish Bill Gates would run for president. Hell, Trump does every cycle and only has $10B he says. I wish if Bill won't that America would rise up to form an American Party and draft Bill for President. He and Melinda are doing as much of God's work on our planet as anyone. And he has enough money to not owe anyone or any group any political favor. And he has great working brain. And great biz experience. And great staff. And great friends like Warren and such. I wish for America to rise up for this coming election more than ever before. Bill Gates for President. Why not? I bet he could make us a profit.
