Where We Were, Where We Are

Well, in the country with the world's greatest constitution and the world's lousiest election system, it's now five days since the laughably misnamed "Election Day". So how's it going?

In California's fourteenth congressional district, they've now managed to count an impressive forty-four per cent of the vote! This is the home turf of Representative Eric Shagdwell, the Chinese asset penetrated by Fang Fang. So one would not have thought the outcome in doubt. But for various reasons they're still going to be counting until next weekend at least.

And that's just the Dems. The incoming forty-seventh has as much to fear, if not more, from the duplicitous bastards in his own party. Congressman Shagdwell's fellow Chinese asset, Mitch McConnell, has timed the election of his successor to ensure someone as hostile to the Trump agenda as he is can be installed while the President-Elect is still distracted by the victory ballyhoo. It may be too late to steal the presidential election, but they can still steal the term. Which is what matters.

[Twotone]

Call your senators & push them to vote for Rick Scott!

[dkGba]

👎 If I am not mistaken he is on board with red flag legislation happening

[ClearCase_guy]

I’d like to see JD Vance as Senate Majority leader.

[Twotone]

That’s bad, but Cornyn or Thune would be worse.

[Lurker]

Can’t the new Senate hold another vote? There are 4 new Republicans who won’t be able to vote. That seems unfair.

[Ann Archy]

JD VANCE!

[Brian Griffin]

The district is southeast of Oakland and I believe it’s suburban:

Thanks for posting the link to the AP article about Thune. The entire article drips with Thune’s barely disguised contempt for our once and future great President Trump. I don’t want this guy anywhere near senate leadership.

... the laughably misnamed "Election Day". So how's it going? In California's fourteenth congressional district, they've now managed to count an impressive forty-four per cent of the vote! This is the home turf of Representative Eric Shagdwell, the Chinese asset penetrated by Fang Fang.

Right at the top of the article is a photo of Biden with his key message:

BATTLE for the SOUL of the NATION

It's always something in the integration of all things. "TL DR". It's really heating up out there, like father like sun.

Epic soul battles. Disney's had the INTEL, but who watches Disney? It's become the Sodom and the Moab in the world of children's entertainment.

AMERICA,

As I'd noted earlier today (topic: Galileo), it's an heliocentric world:

"I lost her once. I'm not going to lose her again!" ~ Eric

Now we can walk! Now we can run! Now we can stay all day in the Sun! Just you and me! Now I can be part of your world! ~ Ariel, a symbolic name for JerUSAlem

Because, speaking of fang fang, released souls, eucatastrophes and the Lion of God -- even of poor Ella whose tats and fashion sense couldn't save her -- the evening of November 5th (a red-letter date in the history of... science) and the day of November 6th was

There is a beast inside. It awaits a human soul to tame it.

Start with meditation and prayer, because that beast inside needs to experience something beyond itself.

But in prayer and meditation you have not yet met that beast on its own ground...

... when the Chumash reading of the Jewish day began with an epic battle also known for its "318" (and the name "Dan" means "judge"):

Trump had extraordinary courage, and on Tuesday night he gave them justice.

14 When Abram heard that his kinsman had been taken captive, he armed his 318 attendants who had been born in his household. He set out in pursuit of Lot's captors, following them as far as Dan.

- 318. Our rabbis said: It was Eliezer alone whom he armed, and 318 is the numerical value of his name.

Now we can stay all day in the Sun!

helios: ήλιος

= 318

When pulling up the 'En' to 'El' translator, I noticed that it also provided the verb, [to] sun, a nice nod to the Sunshine State and of keeping tanned and refreshed:

ηλιάζω (iliázo)

Which in turn adds up to 856. It's an key sum in the integration of all things on the side of the Sun. Definitely worth keeping in memory. I know I do. It's right up there with 358 on the importance scale.

Our rabbis said: It was Eliezer alone whom he armed, and 318 is the numerical value of his name.

Must have been the 'pet'* form then. Just add 538 [בַּת⁠ קוֹל] and you're Golden.

Going from N to L, no actual change is involved (50 = golden = good), save for an epic shift in perspective.

Keep on the Sunnyside, the side of hope. "Rib" is "side":

Genesis 2
20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

*Oh come on, everyone could tell that Adam -- the world's first taxonomist -- needed some serious help with all of the names.

Adam: "Rabbit."
Eve: "Hoppy!"

Adam: "Horse."
Eve: "Bullseye!"

Adam: "Dog."
Eve: "Bingo!"

And so forth..

This is the home turf of Representative Eric Shagdwell, the Chinese asset penetrated by Fang Fang.

“the Chinese asset penetrated by Fang Fang.”

I’ll bet he was penetrated.

HEY!

 You must mean the OLD Moab.

[Ezekiel]

“The Delicate Arch Trail is considered one of the more strenuous hikes in the park, not due to its length, but because of the slick rock, steep inclines, and full exposure to the sun.”

Could be tough on the souls as well as the arches.

[Elsie]

Been there twice - slick isn’t how it should be described, but bare.

And no hotter than a Salt Lake City parking lot at noon.

And the cairns marking the path?

They could go as a well seen trail has been created by hundreds of thousands of feet.

[Ezekiel]

Thanks to Elsie's link in post 12, I learned that

"The Delicate Arch Trail is considered one of the more strenuous hikes in the park, not due to its length, but because of the slick rock, steep inclines, and full exposure to the sun."

Always best to use the buddy system. Won't you be my neighbor? ("TL DR" is truly the key skip code in this important narrative)

Helios = Eliezer = 318, but don't just take my word for it,

Jastrow knows how to make the connections:

ilyaston/Eliezer

אליסטון - אֱלִיעֶזֶר

אִלְיַסְטוֹן, אִלְיַיסְטוֹן, הִלְיַיסְטוֹן m. (ἡλιαστός, acc., fr. ἡλιάζω, v. Gr. Dict.) a luscious wine (vinum dulce) for which the grapes were to be dried in the sun for three days, after which they were gathered and trodden on the fourth during the full fervor of the midday heat (Sm. Ant. s. v. Vinum; Columella XII, 27). Men. VIII, 6 אליוסטון Mish. (Ar. ed. Koh. אלייס׳, Talm. ed. 86ᵇ הליסטיון, היל׳). B. Bath. 97ᵇ אלייסטון Ar. (Var. a. ed. היליסטון; Ms. והלאסטון, והיליסטיון; v. Rabb. D. S. a. l.). Tosef. Men. IX, 9 (from which B. Bath. l. c. is quoted) אליסטון.

אֱלִיעֶזֶר pr. n. m. Eliezer, 1) servant of Abraham. 1) servant of Abraham. Gen. R. s. 44; a. fr. 2) several Tanaim: a) E. ben Hyrcanus; E. b. Jacob, E. bar Zadok, disciples of R. Johanan b. Zaccai of the second gener.—b) E. b. Judah, E. b. Matathias; E. b. Ḥisma, of the third gener.—c) E. hak-Kappar, a late member of the fifth gener.

Nice touch with the Greek form forming a stone [סְטוֹן-] in Hebrew, because anyone who checked the Esther Rabbah 7.10 link on the previous post in "Study Investigates the Origins of Writing" would see the connections. Rocks, stones...

Turns a out it's a keipah-kippah stone/boulder as the source for the warning to the pitcher. Literal arches, soles... skullcaps...

The nations of the world were likened to pottery; that is what is written: “He will break it as a potter’s jug is broken” (Isaiah 30:14). If a boulder falls on a clay pot, woe to the pot; if the pot falls on a boulder, woe to the pot; one way or the other, woe to the pot. So it is regarding anyone who confronts them [the Jews]; he will receive his just deserts from them. And so it says in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream: “That a stone was hewn from the mountain, not with hands, and it crushed the iron, the bronze, the clay” (Daniel 2:45).

Punish -- it's the holy tongue. Full of holes, like the quintessential king who is on display in Florence, Via Ricasoli:

"Michelangelo's David, the towering sculpture acclaimed for its depiction of male physical perfection, was carved from a marble of poor quality filled with microscopic holes, according to Italian researchers..."

Marble carved, then passed around

Barone Ricasoli is the oldest winery in Italy, and said to be the second oldest in the world. In fact, Barone Ricasoli is the fourth longest-lived company in the world in the same place – in any sector. The name Ricasoli has been linked to wine since 1141, when Brolio Castle passed into the hands of the Ricasoli family. The family tree, a print of which dates back to 1584, is still intact, and representations taken from the intricate drawing adorn various labels in the wine portfolio.

That’s a shoe-in for pun of the month.

I lost you there. Please clarify.

THIS is pretty good, too!
