Just above Australia is Indonesia with 264 million Indonesians, anything we can produce they can produce cheaper, Jakarta is sinking and the seas are rising as glaciers melt, Australia is in a worse situation that the US so we take it very seriously the US can't at the moment because the feeling is that we are rich and the south is poor and that's the way it has to stay.

Radical change happened with Australia immigration policy on a cultural level because it had too.

The US hasn't realised the only way to have cordial relationships with neighbours is to be seen to be practicing evening out of material interests.

That has to be the starting point of interrelationships, broadcasting superiority is a sure way to end up on the scrap heap.

Nothing any Republican has ever done even approaches what The Clintons, George Soros and Lyndon Johnson did and have done. Democrats are vermin.

First, I MOSTLY agree with your statements (although you could probably care whether I do or don't).
President Trump, as have so many Americans, has seen the "socialization" and "Stepford Wives " Syndrome literally overtake the U.S with a creeping vengeance since WWII. The nation was founded principally on the "Two Great Commandments" from Deuteronomy and later Jesus' Gospels. At that time, "things" were different. In order to justify slavery in the "Christian" conscience, those people told themselves that African Black People were not "humans". Of course, that opinion "allowed" Americans to treat them as farm animals and tools, even "breeding" them for agricultural efficiency. A GRAVE SIN against those Commandments Americans espoused (or pretended to).
Modern America is a mess. D.D. Eisenhower warned us of the "Military-Industrial Complex" before he retired his second term. He was SPOT ON. And from that evil alliance has sprung and grown the "Intelligence-Manipulation Complex" of the NSA, CIA and Deep-state. National political "leaders" were selected by shadow forces based on their allegiance to certain power brokers, principles and susceptibility to control (blackmail) and greed for wealth and power.
Donald Trump is a man. Nothing more or less. Not a "Chosen Crusader". But he witnessed the corruption in government first hand. So many political icons came to him for money and endorsement, only to gossip and libel him when the time was right. New York was ecstatic over his real estate, enjoying the aura and tax revenues, but were careful to make sure he stayed on the non-political side of the barrier.
Well, now the true witness of stuff you and I had NO IDEA about has said "THAT'S IT, I can't just sit back, get filthy rich cooperating with these plotters and CABALS, and watch America submit to the opiate of socialism and actual opiates". And so it went. He won the electoral vote by a large number (and probably the legitimate popular vote too). He made promises then vowed to keep them. Promises to bring back morality, pride with true humility and personal freedom. He has and IS keeping them. Unlike virtually ALL other candidates for ALL offices, national and regional.
We are getting back! he has had to fight against many forces, sifting through those who pledged allegiance, only to sabotage his presidency. Sifting through persons based on their performance and statements, he has fired many. He gave Sessions a chance because Jeff supported him in the candidacy. Etc (Trump is loyal tho those who help him). Many have come and many have left. Romney....What a waste. The good have been prosecuted and castigated publicly for supporting him. And are to this day. I pray that this "Deep State" is exposed and subjected to Constitutional justice.
So, if you pray, pray for US. I and MANY Americans want a CLEAN Nation, guided by honor, valor and morality. And rule of Law. God Bless America! K.A.G! G'Day, Mate! Enjoy your walk-about.

Agree with all of that, maybe as Seth said from a different perspective, I've got other irons in the fire that could pay off, however to give an example of what Trump is doing I want to put this question, "what is the successor of Putin likely to be" ?.

Not being able to endourse what we don't seemingly its better to rehash the past.

People have taken this attitude for thousands of years, you mentioned Deuteronomy, a perfect example of Trump's rehashing history, hummm !! - if that's what he's doing, if it is then there is a parallel.

Deuteronomy wasn't found by Hilkiah it was probably written by him or King Josiah.

Im not a Biblical Scholar but the point I'm making is that Deuteronomy is used as a Samaritan Document - perfect Law so no need for Prophets after Moses, - only one place to Worship meaning Mt. Gerizim not Jerusalem, - the King should not have many horses and the King mustn't have a lot of wives as they migh tempt him to be unfaithful to the Lord, and the King mustn't try to get huge amounts of silver and gold.

Is Deuteronomy saying something bad about Prophet King Solomon, I think it is.

So Trump is using this type of psychology that was used in the 7 th. Century BC I don't know if it worked back then but even if it didn't Trump could pull it off this time with a bit of luck.

The best post by you, that I've read

Since I'm thinking of retiring in proximity to some vast desert country, I plan to buy a street legal dirt bike as one of my two primary transportation modes, and spend a goodly amount of time exploring desert aboard the bike. I haven't had a dirt bike of my own in a good 35 years, so it should prove fun.

The worst thing a retiree can be is sedentary, whereas the more active one is and the more fun things one does, the better.

Can't jes' sit on the porch grindin' the ol' gums all day...

I can do more Samaritan posts if the go down well.

What we have in the US is a normally with a bi-polar inner duality, anything can become normal when opportunity is manifest, so since I believe that is true where the heck is Delilah do I have to tear this Temple down.

Delilah if your out there send me a message.

What made Delilah special is so significant the Samaritans said, right !! " The age of Prophecy stopped right there at Samson, and so we can never learn the secret of her appeal we just got to wait till Taheb (Prophet Moses) comes back and then he can let us know".

So that kick started the Messiah Event anyone can claim to be the Messiah but only Delilah can prove it.

(Samaritan Pentateuch ends in Judges at Samson and the only Prophet that ever was is Prophet Moses who's coming back as the Taheb).
