The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: (Romans 8:16)
U.S. Constitution Amendment III
No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.
Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy to resign at end of 2023
Special Election to Replace McCarthy
- Federal Judge orders removal in Texas of River Buoys Under the Constitution, it is hard to understand how a lone federal judge can have more power than a particular state. What happens if Texas just ignores the order?
- It is amazing what we will do to solve a problem which does not exist. Electric vehicles are not the wave of the future. They were tried once and abandoned about 1920. It is doubtful the average person could tell you why we even have electric vehicles. When sales are controlled by the market, and no subsidies, the need for these vehicles will end.
- Jack Smith wants list of Trump supporters from Twitter (X) This is probably a violation of the First Amendment.
When is the fourth Republican debate and who are the candidates? | Reuters The debate is Wednesday (Dec 6?) and Trump will not attend.
- Ben Carson Possible VP Choice That has possibilities. Personally, I don’t think Trump will pick a VP until the convention.
- DeSantis to Newsom: Many have come to Florida as being a better place to live, including your in-laws I am not positive, but I am petty sure the couple is supporting Trump.

German scientist Casper Newman proposed in the 1750’s that crude oil was formed from the dead biomass of dinosaurs, trees and plankton over millions of years.
He coined the phrase “Fossil Fuels” and suppossed that the supply was limited and that it would eventually run out.
In 2008 Russian professor VG Kutcherov published a paper (cited in comments) proposing that “fossil fuels” are formed in an abiogenic process deep in the earth’s mantle and leaks up thru cracks until they are trapped in horizontal layers of sedimentary rocks.
Oil has been found miles below the deepest fossils ever discovered and no fossil or genetic traces have ever been found in oil.
Oil is likely not the product of organic decay but is still being produced under high temperatures and pressures deep in the earth’s mantle.
Time to update the textbooks. Found on Facebook

(I have thought this for some time. This is called abiotic oil; oil not made from something living. If this is true, then we have much more oil than we think we have. This needs more study.) (Good analysis in tomorrow’s mailing.)
