    Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill

    President Biden has recently appointed a Golf Czar and major rule changes in the game of golf will become effective September 1, 2021. This is only a preview as the complete rule book (expect 2000 pages) that is being rewritten as we speak. Here are a few of the changes.

    Golfers with handicaps:
    - below 10 will have their green fees increased by 35%
    - between 11 and 18 will see no increase in green fees
    - above 18 will get a $20 check each time they play

    The term "gimmie" will be changed to "entitlement" and will be used as follows:
    - handicaps below 10, no entitlements
    - handicaps from 11 to 17, entitlements for putter length putts
    - handicaps above 18, if your ball is on green, no need to putt, just pick it up

    These entitlements are intended to bring about fairness and, most importantly, equality in scoring.

    In addition, a Player will be limited to a maximum of one birdie or six pars in any given 18-hole round. Any excess must be given to those fellow players who have not yet scored a birdie or par. Only after all players have received a birdie or par from the player actually making the birdie or par, can that player begin to count his pars and birdies again.

    The current USGA handicap system will be used for the above purposes, but the term "net score" will be available only for scoring those players with handicaps of 18 and above. This is intended to "re-distribute" the success of winning by making sure that in every competition, the above 18 handicap players will post only "net score" against every other player's "gross score”.

    These new Rules are intended to FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGE the game of golf. Golf must be about Fairness. It should have nothing to do with ability, hard work, practice, and responsibility. This is "The Right Thing to do."

    The new rules eliminate the discriminatory word handicap and replace it with CTMPD (circumstances that make progress difficult).

    I see new charging stations all of the time and often in unexpected places. A few years from now they will be as common as gas stations.

    In a very fews years people who lease new cars will almost exclusively be seeking out an electric car. To choose electric or gas powered is in the minds of every new car buyer now.

    Wind turbine technicians and solar power installers are close to being the fastest growing high paying jobs in in the USA.

    Based On A Lie' — Georgia Voting Law Faces Wave Of Corporate Backlash

    One week after it was signed into law, Georgia's Republican-led voting overhaul is facing backlash from a growing number of corporate voices, including several of the state's most prominent companies and Major League Baseball.

    Critics of the legislation say it will restrict voter access and disproportionately affects people of color, with President Biden slamming it as "Jim Crow in the 21st century."

    In a Wednesday interview with ESPN, Biden said he would support MLB moving its All-Star Game in July out of Atlanta. Tony Clark, executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association, first raised the idea last week, and it's not without precedent — as ESPN noted, the NBA moved its 2017 All-Star Game out of Charlotte after North Carolina enacted a bill limiting anti-discrimination protections.

    "I think today's professional athletes are acting incredibly responsibly," Biden said. "I would strongly support them doing that. People look to them. They're leaders. ... This is Jim Crow on steroids, what they're doing in Georgia and 40 other states."

    U.S. And Iran to Talk Next Week in Vienna on Reviving Nuclear Deal

    The United States will meet in Vienna next week with representatives of the nations who signed the Iran nuclear accord to try and work out an agreement that would bring the U.S. back into the deal and Iran back into compliance.
    Representatives from France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Russia, China and the European Union will attend.

    The Vienna meeting will aim at drawing up two separate agreements, one with the U.S. and with Iran, on steps they will take to return to the agreement and timetables for returning. After senior officials from the various countries launch the discussions, they will leave nuclear and sanctions experts to hammer out the details of the work.
    The Biden administration is sending a team of experts to Vienna, though the State Department hasn’t said if Rob Malley, the U.S. special envoy for Iran, will attend.
    “This is a first step,” Mr. Malley said Friday on Twitter. “Difficult discussions ahead but on the right path.”

    oh yeah Joe make another lousy deal with someone that wants to kill us and Israel DUMB MOVE
