I have spent a long time think of this an many months writing and rewriting it I have found it very difficult to put into words my feelings about what has
1/

 happened to the Republican Party. I will say to the chagrin of my many liberal and democratic friends that I was once a Republican. I did not change the Republican Party left me, today I don’t even recognize the Republican Party for it is truly the Party of Trump.
2/
It has morphed into a party that hates anyone who is not a hardcore Trumper who will not blindly devote themselves to Trump, Republican ideals be dammed.

I say to you, If you want to save the Republican Party leave it, for they have left you,
3/
I will say without hesitation the rank and file of the Republican Party hates you, and no sir, it is not a small minority of the Party. Let their be no doubt this is the Party of Trump

Before Trump I thought I was pretty middle of the road, a middle right American
4/
I support a women’s right to choose, even though it would not be my choice

Myself I am not a religious person, I consider myself Spiritual, I do believe their must be some kind of creator, what it is, is beyond my comprehension. What you believe is your right and
5/
I say no matter what religion you follow, if it gives you conform then I salute you and I support you

I strongly support the 2nd amendment, but whole heartedly agree their must be reasonable restrictions on deadly weapons and everyone who buys a gun
6/
should have to take a background check without exception

I could care less who you love, for one it’s none of my business, it does not effect me or the world in any way. I have no right to impose my morals onto anyone, I am not god
7/
I could care less what gender you claim

I believe that what I believe is not what everyone should believe, I am not the belief police, and neither is anyone else

As far as the current Republican Party is concerned the middle right is the Radical left and they will censor you
8/
call your RINO, even chat to hang you or lock you up if you don’t 100% agree with them

They wrap them selves in a flag, they hold their Bible, and point their guns and say, you are unpatriotic a unmoral person if you don’t fully support Trump.
9/
They have a backwards view of patriotism, patriotism is the love of country and the founding documents, not the love of a man. The Constitution that I read, Guarantees people the basic rights that I stated above and more importantly it has inshrined them to all people,
10/
Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness is not a value Trump ascribes to

In their eyes I am the extreme left a socialist and you are just as shunned as me. Millions have left the GOP it is a shrinking party. 140,000 Republicans changed their registration in Jan alone,
11/
many more will do so after the acquittal

The only way to save the GOP is to leave it and bring like minded people with you. To fully and without question denounce the hatred the conspiracies the violence and the blind devotion to man that would tear up the constitution
12/
to stay in power. Only from within can the Republican Party save itself you must amputate the rot and return to morals and principles of the Grand Old Party

I weep for a country that has witnessed the leader of a violent insurrection go unpunished
13/
I weep for a nation who’s people have been systematically and purposefully lied to

I weep for a constitution that no longer has the power or support it rightfully deserves

I weep for the Untied States that are no longer united
14/
But mostly I weep for every citizen of this great land who no matter which side has been infected by Trump and his unrelenting words of division

I will never vote for anyone who calls themselves a Republican ever again.

A few words on the passing of William Goldman: In addition to being a legendary screenwriter, he was a friend and mentor to so many other writers, offering guidance and support, directly influencing hundreds of films beyond his own work...


In 2009 a few of us organized an outdoor screening to commentate the 40th anniversary of “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” at the Tribeca Film Festival. Writers such as Tony Gilroy, Aaron Sorkin, David Koepp & Scott Frank each spoke to praise Bill...


As each discussed how Bill had been instrumental in inspiring, teaching and supporting them, it really sank in as to what an extraordinary impact this man has had on the landscape of cinema...


Also at that screening we’re 5,000 people who had come to watch one of their favorite movies on a chilly April night by the Hudson River. Bill touched millions that never got the chance to know him personally, but got to know his films like close, enduring friends...

There are few screenwriter who have made the impact William Goldman has - on the form, on the culture, and on fellow writers. He is a world treasure. And though he is no longer with us, his films will be with us as long as people still have a love for cinema...

How to outline articles:

A blend of @david_perell's process and SEO:

1/ David starts with a quote, a vague idea, or a concept that generates curiosity.


2/ Then, he searches inside his note-taking system for extracts and reflections related to the prompt.

These ideas come from his daily knowledge consumption.


3/ He then assembles extracts to create a narrative around a thesis.

An incomplete thesis will make a reader bounce. While the opposite makes them crave more of your content.


4/ Some of us never built a database.

To fix this, type your prompt into Google and examine the search results:

-People also ask
-Google autocomplete
-Image recommendations
-Related searches at the bottom

These will help you structure your post while following SEO practices.


5/ After creating an outline based on his notes, David rewrites sentences, words, and paragraphs from memory.

He adds personal anecdotes, analyzes ideas, and creates his narrative—A process he defines as POP writing.

Simple Writing Trick to Avoid Plagiarism when using Templates

This may be useful for anyone but the examples here are more relevant to scholarship applicants

In other words, how to avoid the copy & paste syndrome.

Kindly RT to help others.

The past week brought some concerns about plagiarism in scholarship documents. For example:


Plagiarism is unacceptable at any level in academia and may lead to several undesirable outcomes, including revocation of admission offers or conferred degrees. So here is how you can prevent or rid yourself of the copy&paste syndrome


1. Don't use any template at all.
Just follow the darn instructions, or use helpful tips scattered all over the internet. Worry less about perfection.

I understand this may be hard for less experienced scholars. So if you must use a template, continue with the thread.

2. If possible, find more than one template.

This helps you identify the flow of ideas and the commonalities in the template. You can then develop your own unique document from this knowledge.

If you are still confused and must use a template, continue with the thread

As we’re heading into the #PitchWars showcase and since the conversation seems abuzz...here’s a thread of questions I would recommend you ask not only potential agents during The Call, but references, and clients you reach out to personally:

1) What happens if we don’t sell this project? Are you willing to look at a pitch in the same genre?

I heard a panel recently where half the writers were dropped by their first agent after they pitched their second project. Be sure to ask around outside of the agent on this one.

2) Are you an editorial agent? Why or why not?

Meaning, will they revise the manuscript with you beforehand or just do small edits and send it off to editors. Both have their pros and cons, and one might matter to you more.

3) How many clients do you have and how do you juggle your workload with your clients?

In other words, how much time do they have to devote to you and your career. You can also ask, on average how long does it take to get a project on sub?

4) How would you describe yourself as an agent? What are some ways that others have described you as an agent?

This one I think is rarely in questions lists, but I think it’s a fun one to see how passionate an agent gets about their career.

Latest update from @TheBernician

1/19

Hancock, Whitty, Vallance & Ferguson Stand Accused of Pandemic Fraud.

After yet more damning evidence arose last week, further additions had to be made to the court papers, which we are now aiming to lay in the coming week.

2/19

The four defendants will be Matt Hancock, Chris Whitty, Patrick Vallance and Neil Ferguson, each of whom has inextricable and ultimately incriminating connections with Bill Gates and Big Pharma.

3/19

As well as three counts of fraud by false representation and seven counts of fraud by non-disclosure, under sections 2 and 3 of the Fraud Act 2006, we can now also prove that the entire worldwide scamdemic originated on these shores.

4/19

In fact, we can show that, without the dishonest statements and non-disclosures of the four defendants we are initially proceeding against, COVID-1984 would not have transpired.

5/19

Furthermore, the 1st defendant, Matt Hancock, cannot rely upon the defence of Parliamentary Privilege, on the ground that none of the evidence relied upon by the prosecution is capable of preventing parliamentarians from carrying out their lawful business in Parliament.

Guruvayur Sri Krishna & Coconut with Horns.
#Krishnaleela
#Bhakthi
🕉
We’ve all grown up listening to stories of Shri Krishna. This one is a famous story of Shri Krishna in Guruvayur Temple, also called Dakshina Dwaraka.


There lived a villager who planted coconut saplings and had promised that he would offer the 'first coconut' from each of his coconut trees to "Guruvayurappan". When the trees started to yield coconuts, he collected the first coconut from all the trees in a sack 👇


and set forth to Guruvayur.

On the way he was stopped by a robber who asked all the items in the sack. The villager told the robber that the coconuts in the sack belonged to Guruvayurappan and so he was unable to hand it over.
@SriramKannan77 @Jayalko1


The robber with anger asked the villager "Is Guruvaurappan's coconut any different? Does it have horns ?".
Saying so the robber pulled the sack forcefully out of the villager's hand, and coconuts came out..👇


To their astonishment each and every coconut in the sack had horns! Even today, the coconut with horns are displayed in the temple for devotees to see.

Below Picture is not original, as we cannot take photos inside temple.

So it's now October 10, 2018 and....Rod Rosenstein is STILL not fired.

He's STILL in charge of the Mueller investigation.

He's STILL refusing to hand over the McCabe memos.

He's STILL holding up the declassification of the #SpyGate documents & their release to the public.

I love a good cover story.......

The guy had a face-to-face with El Grande Trumpo himself on Air Force One just 2 days ago. Inside just about the most secure SCIF in the world.

And Trump came out of AF1 and gave ol' Rod a big thumbs up!

And so we're right back to 'that dirty rat Rosenstein!' 2 days later.

At this point it's clear some members of Congress are either in on this and helping the cover story or they haven't got a clue and are out in the cold.

Note the conflicting stories about 'Rosenstein cancelled meeting with Congress on Oct 11!"

First, rumors surfaced of a scheduled meeting on Oct. 11 between Rosenstein & members of Congress, and Rosenstein just cancelled it.
