I have Hungary and climate nearly ready to role, but, it's late and I will have to say good night. I don't want to blunder through it after seeing Infinity Wars.

Until tomorrow.

This isn't about exploitation of the female body. It is about adult porn as product.

Before I get started with the climate, I want to tell a story about adult porn. No it is not about me. I only wish for a body that some of these women have.

But, as to adult porn in my life.

I had a very dear friend by the name of Kathy. She and I worked together. This is going to sound hokey, but, for the most part when porn is done well with some sort of storyline it is hokey.

I was married at the time and Kathy's husband was in the US Navy. She lived alone raising their two children. She loved her husband. This is not about what sailors do on ships at sea and I don't care to know. This is about Kathy. This is a true story.

Kathy came into work one day stating her husband Bruce was home. He arrived home yesterday evening and was well. He would be home for at least nine months. So, I asked if she and Bruce would like to go out to dinner and a movie. She smiled widely and stated she would call Bruce, but, she knew he would say yes. I then called my husband and let him know the plans and he was looking forward to it.

We met at a very nice restaurant called, "The Golden Goose." The food was it's usual great and the drinks enhanced the dinner and company, the wine could not be better and the company with the foursome was full of laughter, news and stories both domestic and at sea.

We finished dinner and went to the parking lot. My then husband asked Kathy what movie she wanted to see. Well, Bruce piped in and asked if he knew of any porn flicks in the area. Quite to my surprise, my husband stated, "Sure, there is a theater featuring a couple of flicks at the end of Main Street." I must have looked completely surprised and we got in the car to go to the theater. I asked him how he knew so handily where the porn flicks were and he said, "I had a feeling it might come up."

The movie we finally decided on was called, "The Family Jewels." It was campy and featured all sorts of food products like whipped cream with appropriate positions, but, it was about a couple and not a group. Halfway through the film, between the jokes and laughter, I realized Bruce was the most brilliant man I knew.

See, he had been away for well over six months. He needed his wife to laugh and relax. Months and months of loneliness take on many forms of coping and while children keep life busy, it still requires putting some feelings of loving at a distance. When the movie concluded, we said our good nights and Kathy and Bruce went home with her feeling light-hearted and in the company of a good friend and her husband relaxed and happy,

Now, everyone can find their own corner to take about porn and there are plenty of issues surrounding the business, but, when it comes right down to it, the makers of these films know they serve a purpose in the American landscape and it is a wholesome purpose on many occasions.

I like Ms. Clifford for all the right reasons. Not some feminist issue, but, because she is engaged in a business that has a bad reputation when in many aspects it should simply be wholesome adult entertainment. I like her too, for all the previous stated reasons. I think she is a nice person and special in many ways.

I think she did a great job. It was very good of her to appear on SNL.

SNL did a great job with all of it. Unfortunately, it is based in reality. I do not appreciate words like, "Trolling" to describe Ms. Clifford and her status in relation to the issues at hand with Mr. Trump's bad choices and poor judgment. She is a brave person and willing to talk to the country about her experience. Her hopes for her relationship with Mr. Trump was realistic. She never asked for any of this.

I think I needed to pick up with Hungary. So, I'll start there, but, I want to apply the correct times so I will have to move the entries I just made.
This story about the elections in Azerbaijan somewhat bothered me. I was glad the Australian MP went as an observer and I am glad the election PROCESS went well, but, the choice of candidates did not result in an election that makes sense.

The democracy in Azerbaijan is more or less a ruling party. The way candidates become known is to sometimes be a running mate and elected as Vice President. The other way other candidates from the people get to be known is with a free press and a literate population. The free press can hold debates where all the candidates get to air their understanding of issues, views and potential solutions.

I think the people of Azerbaijan need to work on their choice of candidates.

The President of Azerbaijan (click here) took over from his father in 2003. His wife is the Vice-President. And last week he was re-elected with 86 per cent of the vote after a boycott by opposition parties.

Liberal MP Craig Kelly says Australia needs to learn from the country's electoral system.

The south-west Sydney MP travelled to the former Soviet nation for the second time last week as leader of a delegation to observe its presidential election. In comments that riled Armenians in Australia, Mr Kelly was quoted in Azerbaijan media saying he had witnessed a "coherent, democratic process" and "an election organisation that surpassed Australia's experience"....

I am deeply wounded. There is nothing like 3-D. That isn't it. This is not the answer to the Climate Crisis. Ending emissions of greenhouse gases, especially at this point methane, is the way to end the climate crisis. That doesn't mean CO2 is okay, it is not.

But, I was deeply wounded tonight. And the White Supremacists do not get to decide who lives and who dies, either. That is especially true with Syria and Iran as Prime Minister Netanyahu believes should be his right. Sorry, there is not going to be a war to end all wars in the Middle East to allow expansionist powers take over. There are many dead from the Syrian civil war (click here). Most estimates no matter where one looks, the death count is at least 500,000 and 340,000 civilians. That is not the same as those killed in the war against Daesh.

But, onto other issues.
I am currently at the 3-D Avengers: Infinity Wars. It was the only local showing in 3-D. 

I will be blogging later tonight.

Thank you for your interest.

This is an example of the bullying that takes place within Right Wing politics



It is noteworthy to realize this bullying by the NRA made it to the top of Twitter newsfeed (click here).

There is no room for both, only the NRA. Come and take it.is the NRA's motto. It may not be it's official motto, but, those four words define their mission. In translation it means, protect the gun above all else. What the NRA did to "Ellen's" is ruthless and completely unnecessary. Americans are very worried about the future and what occurs with guns and American children. There is plenty of room to clearly define protections for American children.

Voyaging is welcome when it brings expertise to a rather odd finding.

In the nine years (click here) before he ran for president, Donald Trump's company spent more than $400 million in cash on new properties — including 14 transactions paid for in full, without borrowing from banks — during a buying binge that defied real estate industry practices and Trump's own history as the self-described "King of Debt."...

When taking on the biggest bully in the world, it gets dicey. Doesn't it? This is not circumstantial. Not at all. 

So there it is. Whether one wants to realize the truth or not, it is right there in front of everyone. The only thing the Trump Organization can do is lie, manipulate the truth and obstruct the facts and they will do it to the nth degree.


Prostitutes had nothing to do with this. The issue with his Russian prostitute is a character issue. President Trump lied and he continues to lie. It seems no matter the woman Donald is shrouded in lies, except his wife, of course.


The Ultimate Deal: $100 million borrowed from Russian banks and complete forgiveness of the debt once President and sanctions are dissolved. Or at least that was the original plan.

...The story (click here) required voyaging deep into the arcana of the internet. The key piece of evidence for the server’s strange behavior was a set of logs of Domain Name Server, or DNS, look-ups. These are the communications between servers that enable an email to reach its destination. The computer scientists had no actual examples of email exchanged between Trump and Alfa—only inferences about that prospect, based on their close reading of the logs. I spoke with many DNS experts. They found the evidence strongly suggestive of a relationship between the Trump Organization and the bank but not conclusive. It was a subject that I believed deserved public airing and further exploration.

Publication of my article was quickly followed by responses from the Trump campaign and Alfa Bank, both of which offered more detailed accounts of the server activity than they had provided when I’d asked them for comment. My piece also elicited a series of valuable objections and credible alternate theories from technology reporters and other computer scientists. I take these seriously and believe they also deserve public airing and exploration. Several of the critiques of the hypothesis offered by the experts in my piece offer simpler, more benign explanations for the server activity. I’ll describe them here....

It comes full circle. If James Comey was getting close to the truth, it was important to Trump to end the investigation. Then within hours, the Russians were in the Oval Office receiving classified material. For me, there really isn't anything else to know. Trump and his gang of renowns will wage war against the truth. The truth has to stand strong.

Why is this necessary? Why is it important the truth stand strong? Because of NATO and Ukraine to begin the list. If the USA turned to be Russia's ally what happens? The balance of power changes and say goodbye to democracy. People's lives would be in danger.

...The Dutch son-in-law (click here) of one of Russia’s wealthiest men pleaded guilty Tuesday in federal court in Washington to making false statements in special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s probe of Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

Alex van der Zwaan was charged with lying to the FBI about his contacts with Rick Gates, who served as a top official on President Trump’s campaign and a longtime business partner of former campaign chairman Paul Manafort.

Based in London, van der Zwaan worked for the law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, which worked with Manafort and Gates when they served as political consultants in Ukraine.

Van der Zwaan is the son-in-law of German Khan, a billionaire and an owner of Alfa Group, Russia’s largest financial and industrial investment group....

President Donald Trump has enormous character issues and cannot be a strong president. Yes, cannot. He has too many conflicts in his life to protect the USA and all it encompasses.
