Keep it going for you guys. Let's keep the politics limited this time.

A young woman visits her parents and brings her fiancée to meet them. After an elaborate dinner, the mother tells her husband to find out about the young man.

The father invites the fiancée to his library for a drink. "So what are your plans?" the father asks the young man.

"I am a Torah scholar," he says. "A Torah scholar? Hmmm," the father says.

"Admirable, but what will you do to provide a nice house for my daughter to live in, as she is accustomed to?"

"I will study," the young man said, "and God will provide for us."

"And how will you buy her a beautiful engagement ring, such as she deserves?" asks the father.

"I will concentrate on my studies," the young man replies. "God will provide for us."

"And children?" asks the father. "How will you support children?"

"Don't worry, sir, God will provide," replies the fiancée.

The conversation continues like this, and each time the father questions, the young idealist insist that God will provide.

Later, the mother asks: "How did it go, Honey?"

The father answers: "He has no job and no plans, but the good news is he thinks I'm God."

dw.why do you think the us spends billions on military,so we will never need

Quick answer: globalization. The sailing expeditions- now with our US Space force… Mars

- Desert_Woodworker
A couple themes here which I will now expound upon. It has always been that whomever controls the Sea-Lanes of the Planet so controls global Commerce. Whomever controls Commerce so controls the World. The Phoenicians, The Greeks, The Romans, The Spanish, The British have all had their turn; and great fortunes are made as the wealth of Nations is looted by the Privateers. Eventually in this cycle, these Empires can not sustain the projection of Power and are bankrupted. The USA is the latest Empire with vast Naval power which is used to dominate the Sea-Lanes of the Globe, and thus global Commerce. And if the US continues in this path of Empire, She too will bankrupt. Do any of you know how much it costs the Taxpayer just for one Carrier Group to be deployed for, say, 6 months? I bet you do not, and you should, because it is your money that pays the bill. How much benefit do you receive in return for your investment? Zero! How much Say do you have in this matter? Zero. Those Carrier Groups have nothing to do with World Peace, or establishing Democracy, or Humanitarian Aid; and everything to do with Dominance, Power, Exploitation, and Wealth accumulation for a select few.

Sure, if your 401K has some % invested in Raytheon, you will benefit to a degree. Or, if you work for Halliburton, you receive a tiny share of their gargantuan profits. But! you are invested in Their paradigm.

Recall what I wrote about how the Wizard of Oz keeps the Soldier to protect him, and his interests. The Soldier serves NO other purpose!!! There is no Good Fight! That is a Lie. So it has always been, and so it will always be - until the People Stand Up and Demand that this stops! The People have attempted to do this before, and have always failed. I can assure you all, if and when the Great Reset agenda has been completed, this Rising Up of The People will no longer be possible - and the majority of National leaders of the World are on board with this agenda. Build Back Better is the sales pitch, but will it be better for YOU?

In this New Age of computerized everything, it is no longer necessary in strategic terms to dominate the Sea-Lanes with Naval Power. This can now be done from Space - and this is what The Space Force was created to do! Sending people to Mars, or mining space rocks is all secondary to this One strategic objective of Global Dominance. Sending people to Mars is the sales pitch. Global Dominance is the Objective.

For reference, see:

War is a Racket, by Smedley Butler (who, upon his death, was the most decorated Marine in history)
Tragedy and Hope, by Carrol Quigley (consummate DC insider, and mentor to Bill Clinton).
Confessions of an Economic Hitman, by John Perkins (who was an economic hitman for American corporate interests).
Winston Churchill´s writings, pre WWII, concerning how Germany could not be allowed to dominate commerce in Europe, and by extension, the World, thus in direct competition with England.

Ron,

I am certain we can't be hit by a bad shot.

DW new trend in golf is playing music through a blue tooth speaker in your golf cart. It is "proper" to ask your playing partners if it ok to play music. Talking to my pro about a song you have in your head for the round, I said my wife will sing out loud and that blows your song out of your head..he said that is a good way to mess a guy up. Ha.

+1 for "Loose yourself", "In the air tonight" is another for on the way to the course, You got lucky babe works to calm the mind.

Sister in law and Niece are in from Texas for 3 days. Golf w the girls today and tomorrow.

Brian I have no idea how much that would cost. You make me think.

Have a good day all.

Brian- +1 a good morning read for me…

Petey- Interesting to hear about a music trend on the course… Back in the day, there was a golf course that required men's shorts to be at knee length and calf-high socks…

Top Max- I saw this video this morning and thought about you…
Video of Steam Boiler Explosion

Gunny- would you 2 guys really want to remove this food truck…

Pottz- maybe you should move the Corelz bar and grill to the Salton sea and you could have lakeside dining?

LBD- +1 on the former Mr. Potato head

Hasbro said Thursday that it was dropping the Mr. from the Mr. Potato Head brand name and logo "to promote gender equality and inclusion.

I've seen that one before. I don't recall where it happened. Our grandson has an operator's license among a million other certifications for building operations. He told me about a couple of examples from class. One was in Texas, I think it did more damage than that video. They did everything possible wrong. Installation, operation, and code violations. Another they delayed maintenance in Kansas City or somewhere in that area on a boiler and had temporary repairs for 5 years. The day before the permanent repair was scheduled, the boiler blew up killing 2 in the boiler room. It shot up about 100 yards in the air, came down in another building, and killed 2 more.

Reviewing explosion investigations the most common denominators cited is management ignoring serious issues; code violations, lack of employee training, improper operational procedures, and lack of maintenance. After 5 decades of troubleshooting electrical and industrial, I have to agree that about half of equipment failures have the same common denominators. Everything manmade eventually wears out, but nearly all the motors that burn up are because of improper overload protection. Proper protection would have stopped the motor when it was overloaded. The cause of the overload is irrelevant in the motor failure. I recall a contractor telling me my overload protection was wrong. The reason the motor would not run is they had the wrong motor on their pump. Electrical did exactly what it was supposed to do that time ;-))

Lots of commercial buildings are full of code violations. Hair places with dryer vent issues make me wonder why not more fires than there are. A couple of months ago a strip mall burned here. The report was an overloaded outdoor lighting circuit. If codes are followed, it is nearly impossible to start an electrical fire. Nearly all electrical fires are utilization equipment plugged in or improper use of electrical heaters.

Brian No idea how much a carrier group costs. It will not be much in the near future. Biden ignoring inflation will make money worthless. ;-((

yeah ive never seen a pre review here before and why did he show a bench.i kinda gave him my opinion of that,and you know how i can be,well cricket removed my comments and a couple others.then on the workshops a company posts basically advertising about their company so i said if you want to advertise pay for it and flagged myself,it was removed.there is so much crap like that here anymore.

Pottz- next time PM me. I posted a lead-in to see if I can get a response. In fairness to the newbie he should have posted it on the forum or blog. My first review as a newbie I posted it on a blog instead of a review… I head about it very similar to trying to use my grocery store app or learning how to set-up my Bluetooth speakers…

Beautiful night at the grill- I have A Thousand Leaves Fariborz Lachini playing the piano. I hope that that other undesirable music doesn't start up…

I feel the same way when I read reviews online. The person opens the box and leaves a review. I want to know how the thing works 9 months after you had it not 9 mins. "Most" stuff works good the first 9 mins. There's a Mr. and. Mrs. Potato head so what gives? There's supposed to be a 6'2" potato head with a 5 o clock shadow Adam's apple in a dress and high heels and a purse?

Thanks DW! Supporting what I have stated, notice the comet symbol in the Space Force logo, how it circles the Globe - that right there tells you all you need to know concerning what the Space Force is about. That comet is NOT headed to the far away star or the groups of stars. What I think is rather funny, is that the logo Ship looks just like the ships in the old Asteroids video game.

Carrier Groups are not entirely redundant yet, as the Empire may from time to time need these in use as forward airbases. But the latest generation of surface-to-ship missiles which both the Chinese and Russians now have in their arsenals prohibit any close encounters; Carriers will be simply target practice; and I am sure the US Navy has been well aware of this deterrent for some time. Perhaps you all have noticed the mad dash to get sattelites up in orbit by all the major players of the global chess match.

Now some Science:
The latest spacecrafts that have been recently launched like Deep Space 1, use ion propulsion with xenon as the fuel. In the initial stage, the craft also use solar panel arrays that will be jettisoned eventually. These craft have to carry 100-200 pounds of xenon fuel to get them where they want them to go. Once that fuel is used up, the craft will be useless. Now, there is currently a team working on sourcing funding for a new type of Zero-Energy engine that uses a magnetic field as propulsion. What makes this engine unique is that it is shaped like a cone with a magnet at the narrow end of the cone, so there is a net gain of energy generated in the magnetic field, and due to the conical shape this extra sum-gain energy is directed in one direction. The prototype for this engine is complete and tested, so their science is proved to work. This new type of engine weighs almost nothing compared to all others that have come before, and needs no fuel. Using our latest ion propulsion systems it would take 6 years to get to Jupiter. With this new type of zero-fuel engine, it would take it about 3 weeks to get up to speed, then another four - to - eight weeks to get to Jupiter, according to their estimates. This craft/engine, theoretically, can approach the speed of light, and all they would need to do to brake it, would be to reverse its course.

This is a very basic, and crude description of this new type of propulsion system. If they can make it work, it will completely revolutionize Space travel, where the Craft are concerned. What hasnt been answered yet, is what happens to humans when they are travelling this fast through Space. It is also possible that this type of engine can be used here on Earth.
