Matthew
2:13	And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
2:14	When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:
2:15	And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.
2:16	Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men. Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
2:18	In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
2:19	But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
2:20	Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life.
2:21	And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
2:22	But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:
2:23	And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.
Holy Bible, King James Version

I have felt hostility and rage on numerous occasions during my lifetime. I sometimes I have not the slightest notion of why I engage in such severe reactions while other times I understand completely why I react as I do.

It's almost like I have some aspect of a raging 'hulk persona' embedded in my psyche which surfaces on occasion whether under provocation ... Or triggered by some internal mechanism relevant to my attitude toward a situation, topic, or individual.

This renders me hazardous to be around in the presence of that for which I have disdain should I find myself confronted with situations which warrant severe response.

It also provides a need for vigilance and personal self control.
 

I attribute some of this all to my genetics.

Over the years I have been a student of Monoamine oxidase A which is produced as the result of the MAOA (mao-a2r) gene.

The sum total of what I have experienced in the way of anger and rage could have just as well been subdued as far as I am concerned. While I do not exhibit antisocial behavior I am decidedly unsocial and fine left to my own devices.

Alternatively, I enjoy the company of young ladies in particular and attempt to be socially aware in the presence of others.

I find the notion of reducing my personal adverse reactions to mitochondrial enzymes as well as dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin but alas, there I think is the root cause of the hostility I suppress regularly.

Yes, I truly feel I have at least fragments of the so-called "warrior gene" so don't F☠ck with me or I might jack you up.

While not a proponent of violence and fighting I know where to hit to cause pain and injury. Luckily my modus operandi is self control and moderation in all things. I'm glad that the games some play simply never interested me.

Physical violence has never been an attractant. Jealousy, coercion, emotional edges and other psychological games don't interest me either. My sexual proclivities have never been motivation either. While some are body proud I've never had any such incentive nor desire to enact any form of demonstration toward that end.

I'm just a big subdued lout with designs on fading away outside the confines of violence and subsequent incarceration.
 

I used to follow the British royal family fairly closely in my younger days.

I'm afraid the allure and the enamour I once experienced for them pretty has much died with Diana though I do read various quips in the threads from time to time.

Prince William and his consort, Catherine Elizabeth Middleton aka the Duchess of Cambridge have been interesting in those few times I encountered them in the media.

I always felt Kate Middleton was up to her role as a royal and unlike Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex and his wife; Mr and Mrs William Windsor are respectable in those highly public and scrutinized roles even though the leftist libtard mess invariably soaks through the various media events.

Be all of this as it may, Kate Middleton is not someone for whom I could never feel contempt.

She is polite and attempts to do the right thing and project propriety and dignity congruent with her public office — and that's all you may really ask of another human being.

Today is her birthday. She born January 9, 1982 at Reading, Berkshire, England and has been Prince William's consort since 2011.

She is a lovely young lady and this peasant wishes her well on her birthday.
 

Viewing the utter mess the democrats have made of the nation I keep wondering if the scandals and bad judgements of these buffoons were evident in their predecessors.

We don't read of the untoward boorish acting out in early politics like we do nowadays. This is all because of the leftist libtard embrace of woke culture despite it's vast rejection elsewhere.
 

On this day in 1790 US President George Washington delivered the first State of the Union, the annual address to Congress. I wonder if the opposing party were as patently rude as the democrats in Congress were for President Trump when he gave his State of the Union address.

I have never witnessed such unbecoming behavior as that exhibited by the democrats and their brigand, perverse ilk during political discourse in the United States.

Their support of the criminal antifa and marxist BLM organizations pretty much say it all regarding their collective lack of good judgement. The defunding of police followed by the upswing in criminal statistics are simply another facet of that which we have been made to suffer because they stole the election.

Voting forensics do not lie.

Furthermore, I wonder if the democrats realize the full extent of contempt the majority of the nation has for their lawless office monetizing illogical and stupid asses.

In the sum total of who we are and where we're going it is a refreshing note that the Western Europeans by and large are rejecting the stupidity of woke culture and that these mistakes will be visited upon the democrats for a very long time to come.

The behavior of the left has been and will continue to be their downfall.

Boo to the democrats. They are a blight upon the land.
 

Mom and I have been watching syndicated seasons of CSI both Miami and Las Vegas on the streaming device and it is proving to be quite entertaining. One night Nick Stokes on CSI Las Vegas told a suspect that he appeared to have "a little bit of stalker personality" and his casual amusement was immensely funny to me.

Humor notwithstanding it's easy to get off on the wrong foot sometimes and have people thinking you have some dark interest when none is there.

This is one reason I maintain a certain aloofness in the presence of others. I don't need any incorrect notions being formulated about me by some less than functional individual I may encounter.

The word stalking refers to a behavior pattern theoretically directed at a specific person resulting in a person of reasonable intent to fear for the safety that person or others — including but not limited to substantial emotional distress.

Such a person was Ricardo "Richard" Leyva Muñoz Ramírez who was born February 29, 1960 and died June 7, 2013.

AKA the Valley Intruder, the Walk-in Killer, and most infamously, the Night Stalker he was an American serial killer, serial rapist, kidnapper, child molester, and burglar, convicted in 1989.

Anyway, due to individuals such has him and the level of interpersonal competence I encounter as a function of daily living I make it a point to try to be friendly but not too flexible or pushy when I encounter others.

Wouldn't want some one to think I run with "a little bit of stalker personality" regardless of how humorous it might be to anyone or everyone.

Sorry, I simply lack that requisite interest in others required to become an accomplished stalker. You're simply not worth prison, becoming some bad man's boyfriend — or worse.
 

I'm pretty much a stickler for agreements and promises made in my old age.

Wasn't always that way.

I once took a job and cast it aside in an ill conceived mistaken notion that took me on a journey upon which I'd just as soon never gone.

The adage 'birds of a feather flock together' was all to appropos in my sad situation.

It seems that when you immerse your immedate social strata with friends who are typically less than forthright and stalwart individuals it adversely affects your own personality.

So in my present I try to keep every promise.

I avoid those bad influences which led me far astray so long ago.

People like Boatwright and his plethora of drug dealer friends.

People who use others spitefully.

This is why the democrats repulse me.

They are liars, thieves, and cheats and as such should be stricken from the record permanently.

Can you say Adam Schiff, and the rest of the democrat scum of the planet, boys and girls?
