Two professions in which you can suck at your job -- failing far more often than you succeed -- and yet not only retain your job but also acquire fame and big money doing it are: Major League Baseball hitter and weather forecaster.
.
In other jobs, routine failing is unacceptable and will get you canned. In those two professions, failure is expected and the 3 successes out of 10 attempts are generously rewarded.

"...Know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free.”
~ The Wisest Person Who Ever Lived
.
There are two components to that statement, but nearly everyone who quotes it leaves out the first component which renders the quote almost useless.
.
It is only when you "KNOW" the Truth that the Truth can make you free! By itself, the Truth will do you about as much good as will a motorcycle without wheels or an empty canteen in a waterless desert.
.
Unless you first put water in the canteen before you venture out into the dry desert, you are going to die there, lugging a useless container with you, adding insult to injury.
.
Think of your mind as your canteen. Fill it with water -- "Living Water" (aka the Truth) -- and then you can face and survive the heat of this world's desert. That "Living Water" already exists, but until you fill your canteen with It, It will do you no good.

Below are two comments (combined and slightly edited) which I posted yesterday on THIS website:
.
For decades — literally — I had wanted to move to Reno. But apparently it took me too long to get here, and by the time I did, it had already degenerated into “The Biggest Little Disappointment In The World”. I have met Reno natives who have told me that the Reno I thought I was moving to in 2015 really did exist, but that was some time ago.
.
By sunset on the 4th day after I had moved here, I realized that I’d screwed up. And the atrocious drivers here add insult (and injury) to injury.
.
In Reno, the highway rule of thumb is: Keep one inch of distance between you and the car in front of you for every 10 MPH you are driving. Going 60? Then just to play it safe, you should have at least 6 inches between your front bumper and the back bumper of the car ahead of you!
.
I’m not kidding. I’ve driven all over this country, including coast to coast — New York City to Los Angeles — and Reno has the worst tailgating I’ve ever seen anywhere. Seriously, sometimes you can barely even see the headlights of the car behind you because it’s so close!
.
My commute to work is just 7 miles of freeway driving, and in slightly less than 3 years here, I have already seen more freeway traffic accidents in those 7 miles than I did in 20 years of driving on Phoenix freeways. Gee, I wonder why!
.
A huge part of the problem is all these Northern Commiefornians who have brought their lousy driving “skills” with them to Reno. According to an intelligent guy I work with, the drivers in the Bay Area are even worse than those here. I haven’t been there for ages and have no intention of ever visiting again. (I don’t think it’s mere happenstance that Anton LaVey’s ‘church of satan’ was established in Frisco! That place is a moral and intellectual cesspool.)
.
For the first year I was here, I kept hearing about the dreaded and dangerous “Spaghetti Bowl” freeway interchange. Finally, I asked someone, “Where is this ominous interchange I keep hearing about?” Turned out that I lived a stone’s throw from it and entered and exited the freeway there on a daily basis.

When I was still just a teenager in L.A., I was driving this:
[Link> https://www.laconservancy.org/locations/four-level-interchange
.
Most of the drivers here in Reno (the majority of them probably from the Bay Area) would pee their pants while getting hopelessly lost if they had to navigate THAT.
.
I have a running joke with a friend of mine here. We often refer to the Reno freeway system as “two lanes and an offramp”.
.
And yet it’s so pathetic how just two lanes and an offramp seems to be such a challenge for these drivers.
.
As for Commiefornia politics — although born and raised in L.A., I’m as Constitutionally conservative as it’s possible to be. And when I was young, L.A. County generally wasn’t any more liberal than most other places. There were pockets of Liberalism, like in Santa Monica and West Hollywood, but overall there were plenty of conservatives, just like my family was. But over time, things changed.
.
There’s an old, old joke that goes like this:
.
One day God took hold of the East Coast, tilted it up slightly, and all of the “loose marbles” in the country rolled down into California.
.
Honestly, a lot of these Commiefornians whom we all criticize (and I do, too) didn’t originate in California. They came from all over the country, for the good weather and better paying jobs. And now they’re starting to migrate East again, like a destructive Liberal virus moving through the body of America.

At a website I visited this morning, someone mentioned the fact that in Barack Odumbo's official presidential painting, it looks like he has five fingers on his left hand, which would make for six digits altogether.

And that immediately made me think of this:

Hmmm.... Is the artist implying that Barack is a modern-day offspring from the ancient Nephilim?

Over the last few years, I have found that there is nothing in the world that feels better than going out for hours upon hours and deliberately leaving my cell phone at home.

To a Millennial, however, that would probably feel like committing an act of suicide.

DENNIS PRAGER AND I (Or, REVISITING AN OLD MENTOR)

.
LOOSE DOGS ~

With the start of 2018, my schedule at work changed. Instead of beginning at 6:30 AM, I now start at 7:00. This was one of the very few times when in fact "change" really WAS "good".

Unfortunately, though, I've discovered that I no longer get to listen to Adrian Rogers sermons on my drive into work. The good news, however, is that I now hear Dr. James Dobson's 'Family Talk' on the radio during my harrowing drive on Reno's dangerous 395. 

Last week I got to hear an excellent recently recorded lecture from Dennis Prager. Most of you wouldn't know this, but I cut my political teeth on Dennis Prager's KABC nighttime talk show program from about 1987 to October of 1992. While I worked at UCLA, I was either listening to Jazz, to Blues, or to Dennis Prager. I was even a subscriber of Prager's quarterly magazine 'Ultimate Issues'. Here's a copy of one issue that I've saved all these years:
.

.
Listening to Dennis Prager helped me to sharpen my own ability to think logically about the Right, the Left, Conservatives, Liberals, Republicans, Democrats, American Patriotism, Communism and other statist forms of government. 

Listening to Prager turned me into a mainstream Republican-like conservative. Which was a very good start. (It wasn't until early 1994 that I got genuinely Red-Pilled, thanks to The New American magazine, G. Edward Griffin, John Stormer, and the book 'The New World Order' by Pat Robertson.)

But it was a pleasure for me last week to take that stroll down Amnesia Lane, listening to Dennis Prager talk about our country's present circumstances and being reminded of why I was so captivated by Prager's analysis of cultural events back when I was still a political neophyte and being prepped for my upcoming graduation into the higher levels or degrees of geopolitical understanding.

Prager was excellent! He included humor and his customary straight-thinking and I was impressed by him all over again, all these many years later.

I have seen all or most of every Super Bowl game since 1972. But if you are like me and boycotting the Super Bowl today and from now on because of "The Kneelers" and the NFL's SJW mind-set in general, you may be looking for something to do today. 

I strongly urge you to listen to the 2-part Dennis Prager lecture I am linking to below. Each part is only about 19 minutes long, and although I disagree with Prager on a few points, I can't emphasize enough how much I think you ought to give Prager a listen and then turn others onto this talk he gave. This is important!!

Prager has a way of cutting through all the propaganda, the dogma, the unjustified feelings, the "fake thinking", and exposing the truth buried under all those layers of deception and misdirection.

These are really, Really, REALLY worth your time to listen to. Please do. And then feel free to post any feedback you may have in the comment section below.

Hanging In The Balance: The Soul Of America In Danger, Part 2

There ya go, Peoples. That gives you an idea of how I got to where I am today, politically speaking. It was that sort of clear thinking which got me started on the path down rational analysis leading eventually to my strict Constitutional outlook. 

Prager makes as much sense to me now as he did in the late '80s and early '90s. This was the first time I've listened to a Dennis Prager talk since October of 1992 and it felt almost like going home again. ...Except, of course, you can't go home again.
