Hillary Clinton, a nasty old crone to some, is not doing well in the polls since she declared herself the champion of women and then trotted out old Bill, accused of rape a dozen or so times to help her with her campaign.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The simple fact that a seventy-something year old communist who isn't even a member of the Democratic Party has surged ahead of her bodes ill for the Bitch of Benghazi.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The fact that <i>13 Hours</i> (film about the Benghazi Massacre) was just released, will not help her poll numbers so long as it's in the theaters and reminds people of what a lying, miserable harridan that she really is.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
In this world, there is right and there is wrong. We all should know the difference between the two, but sometimes it doesn't work out the way that it needs to as illustrated below.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Blogging requires that you constantly prove that you're not a robot by responding to questions such as, "which two pictures have women flashing their breasts?" (No, nothing as fun as that.) I propose that the robot question deal with, whether or not you are a maniac (as the post-it graphic above illustrates).</div>

There aren't many of this class of old firearms from the 18th Century above ground. That's because they are firearms designed to take on grave robbers.<div style="text-align: justify;">

Grave robbers worked at night so as not to be seen, but this also meant that they may not see these guns mounted on a grave, and would probably not see the trip wires. </div>

Several trip wires could be fitted to the trigger mechanism, running in different directions. This not only covered a wide area, but it also meant that any one of these wires could swivel the gun in the direction of the intruder.

<span style="color: lime;">“Negotiating with Obama is like playing chess with a pigeon. The pigeon knocks over all the pieces, shits on the board, and then struts around like it won the game.” - Vladimir Putin</span><div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Obama Administration has denied that Vladimir Putin said that, so consider it in that light.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Truth does not become more or less true, whether those who know it are many or few. It has never been masses or mobs who shaped destiny but single individuals, visionaries, innovators who are scorned and isolated by the very masses who reap such benefit from their work.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Human Condition:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We cannot be free without being free to harm ourselves. Advances in technology can remove physical dangers from our lives, but when it does, spiritual dangers increase. By spiritual danger, I mean danger to your integrity, your decency, your sense of life. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Spiritual danger can not conquer you without your own consent. But once you have consented, those dangers are all-powerful because no outside force can come to your aid. Spiritual dangers are always faced alone.</div>
