When Were The First U.S. Troops Killed In Korea?

mcgeo52 comments on May 28, 2019:

Reminds me of a Recent US History class I had in college c. 1971. The prof asked when were the first US combat troops in Viet Nam? I held my tongue while everyone else's guesses ranged from 1959 to 1964. When the prof said 1963, I simply said, "Wrong." To his credit he responded by saying, "If you can prove that is wrong, you get an A in the class." I excused myself and walked out of the class and next door to the library. Once in the library I went directly to microfilm of the NY Times from April, 1954, found the article I wanted and made a copy. After putting the microfilm away I returned to the classroom and laid the article on the prof's desk while he was writing something on the board. When he turned around and saw me seated at my desk, he looked at his desk and saw the copy of the article. I asked, "Is the NY Times sufficient proof?" When he answered, "Yes," I replied, "Per the NY Times article you have a copy of, there were combat troops from the USS Belleau Woods at Dien Bien Phu in April, 1954." After he glanced at the article he looked up and told me I had just earned my A.

For starts, this is well outside of Death Valley. It appears to be at the northern end of Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake. That would explain the boat. If you look closely at what appears at first glance to be a spaceship, you will see the green outline that is very likely algae. That explains why the boat is that close by. Looking as closely as the zoom in Google will allow it appears that the yellow object just to the right of the pointed part of the southern hole is a bulldozer. By the color I would guess Caterpillar. Going southeast from the center of the water, almost to the road is a very interesting object that, judging by its shadow, is a rather tall structure. It could be either a very thick wall or a fairly narrow building. Up the road going east from that object is an interesting piece of machinery. Given that all of this in a classified area, I don't know that we will ever get answers as to what it is or why it's there.

Start impeachment hearings. That gives the House greater subpoena power since they are basically sitting as a grand jury. It also gives them the platform, through hearings, to expose tRump's crimes. And, the more they expose, the guiltier he acts. Don't pass the Articles of Impeachment until it is obvious the country is demanding it. With any luck, that will be at just the right time to throw the entire Republican Party into total chaos for the 2020 elections. If the Republicans were half as smart as they think they are, they would get rid of tRump ASAP rather than have him drag them all down next year.

mcgeo52 comments on May 18, 2019:

The DNC knows that if it comes down to Bernie vs. Biden that Bernie wins. On the other hand, if there are enough other people splitting the votes, neither Bernie nor Biden gets the nomination on the first ballot. After the first ballot the super delegates get to vote. In other words, the total number of delegates that are progressive enough that they will not vote for Biden has to be greater than the delegates who will vote for Biden plus the super delegates. Don't be surprised to see Biden offer one of the top centrist candidates (looking at you Beto and Mayor Pete) the VP slot to lock in their delegates on the second ballot. The DNC refuses to admit that running a centrist candidate is what cost them the 2016 election. Those who refuse to learn from their mistakes will keep making them. The problem is that our country can't afford to wait for the DNC to graduate from kindergarten.

If you're concerned about your calcium intake: [onegreenplanet.org]

mcgeo52 comments on May 14, 2019:

There is another side to the calcium issue that most people are unaware of. A high protein diet can cause calcium deficiency. Your body cannot use protein directly; it has to break it down into amino acids. Doing so requires acid. Your body uses calcium to buffer the acid. If you don't have enough calcium in your diet, your body will pull it from your bones. Since your body uses calcium from the dairy based products to buffer the conversion of protein to amino acids, plant based sources of calcium have a much higher net availble calcium than dairy based sources.

Rant: Trump is a cancer on American society.

mcgeo52 comments on Apr 24, 2019:

We need to learn from history. There are people who point to the impeachment of Clinton and how that backfired on the Republicans. The House passed the Articles of Impeachment in December 1998. The Senate acquitted in February 1999. The Republicans lost seats to the Democrats in the 2000 House contests, but still maintained control of the House. In the Senate the Republicans ended up with 50 seats plus the Vice Presidency, effectively giving them the majority. If holding impeachment hearings results in gaining control of the White House and both houses of Congress, why not impeach? However, the real lesson from history is a comparison between the Clinton and Nixon impeachments. In the case of Clinton, the hearings did not really sway public opinion because there was really nothing there other than lying under oath. On the other hand, the hearings in the Nixon case swung public opinion from 19% against impeachment to 57% in favor of resignation or impeachment. Those hearings revealed the crimes of Nixon and exposed him as a crook. The Democrats took 49 seats from the House and a super majority in the '74 elections, while in the Senate the Democrats gained 3 seats for a total of 60. They gained control of the White House in the '76 election. My take away? 1) Hearings in Trump's case would reveal SUBSTANTIALLY more than what was revealed about Nixon, and probably result in a majority of the country demanding his removal from office. 2) The Democrats have nothing to lose by holding hearings as far as any possible blowback. 3) Impeachment hearings in the House need to begin ASAP.

Is there any way that religion can be proved to be man made?

mcgeo52 comments on Apr 20, 2019:

It depends on the religion. I consider Scientology a religion (and a very toxic one at that). It was created by L. Ron Hubbard. Buddhism was created by Buddha. Those two, and quite a few others, including Pastafarianism and Mormonism, are easily proven to be man made. It gets more difficult to "prove" the origins of other religions because they have been lost over time. We can make arguments based on logic and circumstantial evidence, but true believers can argue that is not proof.

So.
