https://tunnel2towers.org/The chief danger that confronts the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost,
Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration,
politics without God, heaven without hell.
William Booth“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.”
― William SaroyanThe inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery. -- Winston Churchill
Ignorance is not an opinion, liberals
I believe in Christianity as I believe the sun has risen; not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. C. S. Lewis
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

geeez2014Copyright & Fair Use Statement I hereby assert that the purpose of this blog is educational/informative in matters of politics and faith. There is no commercial purpose to this blog. There is no revenue generated from any material posted here. I am not in competition with any news source, including any other on-line journal, and I have no interest in interfering with any person’s ability to earn an income as an author, journalist, photographer, or artist. This website contains some quotations and excerpts from copyrighted material. These uses fall well within the copyright doctrine of “Fair Use.” Section 107 of the United States Code, Title 17, specifies the conditions under which, “the fair use of a copyrighted work . . . for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching . . ., scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright.” It provides four considerations for determining fair use: (1) The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes, (2) The nature of the copyrighted work, (3) The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole, and (4) The effect of the use upon the potential market for, or value of, the copyrighted work. The use on this website of other material involves “criticism, comment, news reporting, scholarship or research” (a) The “purpose and character” of the website is not “commercial.” (b) The overwhelming majority of the material is the author’s own research and work. It is in no way a mere collection of others’ copyrighted works, nor is any material competitive with those sources. (2) The “nature of the copyrighted work” quoted is often “news” or “faith,” categories given lesser protection in fair use cases than works of fiction. (3) Most uses involve excerpts rather than entire works. Because the adverse financial impact on copyright owners is central to the purpose of copyright law, and the analysis of alleged violations, it’s relevant to note that, under factor (4), (a) no one in search of the quoted material would substitute this blog or book for the original source, (b) it is highly unlikely this website (or any material created from it) will ever have more than a de minimis impact on any of the copyright works’ potential market, and (c) to the extent it might do so, it would be far more likely be a positive, rather than a negative, impact (by drawing attention to the work, crediting it, and providing a source where it may be found). Finally, to the extent any copyright owner may wish, consideration will be given to all reasonable requests that copyright material be removed from this website. I will always endeavor to provide proper attribution to the source of another person’s work if I know it. If I do not know the source of incorporated work, I will state “source unknown.” I will happily credit any previously unknown source if their identity is made known to me in “blog comments.” -GeeeZ

If you enjoy reading John Grisham, check out his 2014 novel The Rooster Bar. It’s about the law school scam; he got the idea from an article he read in Atlantic Magazine by Paul Campos. To me, it stands to reason that if this kind of thing can exist in law school(s), it likely also exists in other post-graduate private institutions. We might wonder about medical schools, for example.
My opinion of Mr. Lambdin isn’t much, actually, and not very high, but all he did was take advantage of a government program. I’m betting the Democratic Party now has a member for life. And now, Joel Lambdin and Cat Stevens (aka Yusuf Islam) can rock away, developing music that only those who stone women can fully appreciate. Life is good.

A tale of two musicians:
Lets get personal: First of all how does this guy get in student loan debt for over $250,000 and can’t get a job somewhere, anywhere in the wide world of music? I can ask that question because …because:
My son has two master degrees in music performance, my son is certified to work as a counselor, my son is certified to be a school principal’ my son’s student loan balance is…get ready: ZERO. My son graduated with 4.0 cums in his bachelor and two masters programs and in doing so earned schlorship monies and along with his father (that’s me) paying paying paying owes nothimg while earning six figures in private education as well as having played music on five of seven continents over the years., owns a home is married with two children.
So now this guy for whom we’re to pay his way so he can go to India and meditate with Ravi Shankar, is he still alive, gets a free ride at taxpayer expense-The American Drean is still alive and well. And this begs the question how the hell does he rack up that amount of student loan debt in the first place in a music program? Jerk!
A close friend’s daughter went to Temple and f__ked around (literally) for six years earning a four year bachelors degree in nothing, makes $48,000 per year as a glorified clerk and currently owes approximately $143,000 in student loan debt, is unmarried, no kids and lives with her parents and her pay is garnished to the tune of $900.00 per month by the department of education.

@ Peter
If your friend’s daughter makes only $48,000 annually with a college degree, then she’s not exploring all her options. As a single mother, she could rake in another $20,000 (or more if she’s black). Also, there’s money in the part-time personal escort business. Or, better yet, get a job with the U.S. government. If she has a low IQ, there are opportunities in the FBI for lawyers who can’t pass the bar examination. Surely there are administrative positions for those who f’d around for six years, too.

I came from a poor white family that was lower middle class when I graduated HS in 75. As my sister and brother experienced 8 and 6 years before I was shown the door and told to find life. I found a job with the phone company to live and pay for college. I met my wife at UCLA and her family was paying her way. I became an Electrical Engineer and worked in telecom for my life. We were Californians but my wife was from the Silicon Valley and hated Los Angeles so we moved there.
When working for AT&T designing and setting up large buildings I was seeing that companies were sending their employees to learn IT at a community college that the R&D Engineers were teaching at so they could be trained cheaply. I went there to learn IT and SW at low cost on my free time. AT&T killed my division and I went to work for Sprint. This lead to me later being promoted in 96 to one of their companies on the east coast and they moved me and my family.
Me and my wife found in Northern Virginia that the school systems for our two sons were not good. The way they were taught was not correct, the teachers did not listen to us, the admin did not either, and we did not get through with the school board, Both me and my wife tutored our sons through each class and we still had problems with teachers and many teachers would quit. We realized that the issues we had read about the college changes were being put into middle and HS. Our sons graduated HS in 2004 and 2005.
At that point we talked to each and decided on different Trade Schools. The costs were half a year of college and within 5 years they were making over 6 figures.

MUSTANG…he is just taking advantage of a gov’t program; that’s legal!
What I thought lousy was his talking about what he’ll do now that he has our tax dollars get him out of debt. I’m not sure studying in India and buying a new home, and feeling the weight off his shoulders (“i hadn’t felt it there until it was taken away”), etc. , and TALKING ABOUT IT, are welcome by anyone! It’s like you and I are writing him checks to do all of that, isn’t it!
Regarding the FBI ” If she has a low IQ, there are opportunities in the FBI ” cracked me UP!…I feel bad for the legit FBI guys who are led by the nose by Christopher Wray (someone I hate to admit I DETEST with every fiber of my being) and are getting a bad reputation because of HIM.

Cancel it! Sorry, that letter went out in error buddy. And if for some reason Biden feels duty bound to actually keep the promise (unlike his oath to protect and defend the country) let HIM pay off the loans from his payola accumulated at the public trough.
QUESTION: How the hell does a musician accumulate $250k in tuition costs? It “only” costs $67k/year for Columbia 26 YEARS LATER. He chose it when 2 years could be virtually free at a JC. Yes, Peter, CHOICES.

OKAAAAY! This is THE WORST Correspondents dinner EVER….Thank God I’m watching the Lakers more than THIS…
I’m wondering, if the Left is so intently believing Trump will destroy our democracy, what do Leftwingers think when they have almost no conservatives AT ALL at the head table or speaking? Isn’t that rather threatening to Democracy?
I think so. They’ve always leaned left but this is not fun…it’s usually fun.
