"Temple Demolitions Spell Creeping Islamisation
There are other religions who have multiple deities which are simply aspects of the whole. My opinion is that their beliefs are just as valid as any other person's beliefs so should be permitted a temple to worship their particular deity. I see this action very much akin to the Taliban destroying the giant buddha carved in the side of the mountain which was an act of love on the part of the creators, and whic...

Border Wars and other matters
Morning blogsters: There's a growing flap about the border between Mexico and the US. I mentioned a while back about the Minuteman movement, the group of citizens who, for reasons of their own, have decided to take matters into their own hands and give some uninvited assistance to the US Border Patrol. Generally, there's a lot of strong feeling about this in New Mexico. Almost everyone has an opinion about it, and there seems to be a clear dividing line...

Resolving the Lump-sum Cash VS Annuity Debate
Occasionally the threads on LP take on a fervor that s almost religious in nature. All those dark forebodings about what winners do with their money, should do with it, all the sage pronouncements about whether there s anyone in all Christendom who d be wiser taking annuity rather than lump sum cash. Pronouncements about whether a hypothetical person spends too much on lottery tickets, or whether anyone should buy anything but a quick pick, or whet...

The wisdom of the storm
There's probably a lot Americans can learn about themselves, about the government, about foreigners, and about victims from this event, provided they'll allow themselves to do it. However, that seems unlikely. That's an unfortunate trait we humans share, not allowing ourselves to closely observe, digest, and learn things we'd rather not...

If You Care About Media Censorship and Fair Elections...
Alexander: If You Care About Media Censorship and Fair Elections...

10th Jackpot Milestone Indicator
The 10th Jackpot seems to indicate the fate of future PB MM Jackpots. You can see below, we have analyzed the 10th Jackpots of PB MM based on a Relative Cash Value. The Relative Cash Value removes the inflationary starting jackpot and creates a level playing field for both lotteries in time and value. It appears the excitement for these lotteries is not what it use to be. The 10th Jackpot is a milestone in the jackpot growth and usually show...

"Falling For A Con Is Painful" - Mueller, Media, & The Big Lie
Falling For A Con Is Painful - Mueller, Media, The Big Lie Here's the fundamental story of the Mueller Investigation: elites don't like the little people democratizing public narratives. The elites--who reckon their right to rule is self-evident--want to set the narrative and the context, because that's the foundation of power: once you get th...

Exiting the Delaware Lottery
The other shoe is dropping in Delaware for dedicated lottery players. True, I could naively continue to herald the DE Lottery as moving forward boldly into the 21st Century. Today's reality was a bucket of ice water leaving me looking for different if not greener pastures. When the first automatic dispensing machines (ADMs) were introduced to much fanfare by the DeLottery at Wawa, I thought it was about time! After all, we are always leaps and b...
