Insulted.

I'm insulted by an American that didn’t know what the hell he was talking about. If you are Canadian, you too should feel insulted. This person made a comment on Facebook that we were cowards in Canada for letting our politicians do and say what they want and we don’t say anything about it. I take it that he was an American the way he stated what he did and referred to his country as in "my country".

Well let me tell you, if you were an American then you have nothing to say about Canadian voters conduct and the conduct of our politicians. In case you haven’t noticed what you people have elected as president in America, you've got an incapable leader. He gets most every decision wrong. And I don't mean a little bit wrong, I mean about as wrong as it can possibly get.

This is a man who turned out to be a dictator. He's a man that will twist what is in the Constitution to gain what he wants. He's a man that is egoististical and a racist especially against white people. He's a liar and deceiver which he has proven himself to be. He has also turned a God fearing nation into a non-God fearing nation. He has weakened the nation enough that it could not sustain the length of a long-lasting war like it had in the past.

He has left the border open for his radical friends to come in and invade the nation when he has weakened it enough. The ones that will not go along with his wishes he seems prepared to berate or demonize or maybe even kill.

So don’t you call us cowards considering what you people elected as president. At this time president doesn’t require a capital. If you were not an American that made the statement about us and our politicians I apologize. But if you were then put what I stated in your pipe and smoke it.

America, president Obama (Part 1)

I have on my other blog Bob's Ghost, a video of this Reverend claiming that Obama is Satans’ son. After listening to what the reverend had to say and also showing the picture of an aged Obama would look like, I tend to believe the reverend. The reverend also referred to where those paragraphs and the name of the scriptures in the Bible could be found that indicate why he believed that about Obama. After everything that Obama has done to defy the Ten Commandments that where given to the people by God. For example, homosexuality, same sex marriage, lying, killings and being deceitful all seem so much worse than they did 8 years ago. I must add also he has done his part to turn a God fearing nation into a nation of non-believers.

Obama claimed to be a Muslim once, even though everyone said he said that by mistake. But I believe him because he tends to believe more of what’s written in the Quran than the Bible; like it’s okay to lie to an infidel yet that’s another commandment being broken according to Gods’ commandment as thou shall not lie. Now on that same video apparently a person has taken the name of Guccifer. His video will explain as to wherever the name Guccifer derives from.

God’s punishment.

God’s punishment for America for the loss of faith and the belief in God and His Son,  was to let Obama win the election. The punishment is not only for all the sins that exist in the USA but also all the sinful things exported out of the USA to all over the world.

I know some people will laugh when they read this but I would say how could Obama beat Hillary with all of her knowledge in what goes on in the White House? She was a first lady before when her husband Bill was president. So tell me how someone with no experience at all about what goes on in the White House able to beat her? 

He must have had help from somewhere and the only help he could have had was from God just to teach the people the wrong that they were doing. The sins, the corruption and everything else that would be against Gods teachings according to the Ten Commandments have been largely ignored just for the enjoyment of life. So God let Lucifer (better known as Satan) win the election and this Satan’s name is Obama.

American politics

I don’t claim to know too much about American politics, and I don't wish you people any bad luck whatsoever. But something tells me that Hillary Clinton wins the presidency, it will be the end of the USA. I say this because she seems to have the exact same ideas as Obama and his policy of doing nothing good will not be changed.

I’m just wondering if she’s going to take up golfing.

LOL

What to do.

I must say, you people in the USA will have a really hard time with who will be left to vote in as president. Of course things could change by the time the election comes but as it is now, I can only see Hillary and Trump emerging as the candidates. Trump seems to be an honest person and speaks his mind but I also find him kind of egotistic person like Obama. He will not accept other people's ideas and can’t seem to be able to take criticism. That doesn’t make for a good president. Clinton from what I’ve read and seen, she will only be an extension of Obama's policies and that would be the end of the USA.

So good luck with that.

How much longer does America has left?

I went to Google and I typed my title into the Google search engine (How much longer does America have left.) According to the search results, people that wrote an answer to this question, the consensus seems to be that America will be gone by 2025 (one example).

Well I would believe what is prophesied in Revelation in the Bible doesn’t correspond with their thinking. In a lot of interpretation of the Bible it’s concluded that it will happen at any time from now through the 1st of January 2017.  Revelation 12: 1-2 mentions what I'm talking about. Now by reading about how much time America has left in the above link, I found it to be boring. As you keep on reading it, does get better. It’s a long read but there are a lot of truths in it, especially as to how the country is being managed and who is responsible for the way it is.

That is my short rant of the day.

Worried about next election? I am.

Well my friends, I know some of you will be thinking "don’t worry about what this guy says, he’s only a Canadian and has no business poking his nose in our business in America". I would say that is reasonable, but the fact is I criticized Obama the first time I heard him speak when he ran for the presidency and he has proven correct by what he has done since. For example he has been lying to people from the start, piled up scandals and not protecting Americans,instead using diplomacy as a cover for not wanting to go after radicals Muslims. He has also stated that he would side with the Muslims if he had a choice. He doesn’t appear to like white people. So far, he has done everything that he could to diminish and dwindle the reputation and strength of the USA even making friends with some of the enemies of the USA (Cuba for example).

I read on some website that he either has or will have a place to hide when the end of the world comes. I wouldn't be surprised if that were true. It shows that he is trying to save himself so that he thinks that he will survive then maybe pop up to find some way to rule the world afterwards. I have news for him - he will never be able to escape the Good Lord for his misdeeds and neither will his friends. What was prophesied in the Bible about the end of the world, I hope it does happen. I believe the good people will survive but the ones without faith will be gone for ever and ever never to cause problems for the survivors.

If Armageddon doesn't happen before the next election, I don’t believe Obama will go away quietly. I believe he will start something by declaring Marshal Law and when all hell breaks loose then he will go and hide in his cubby hole not thinking that someone who doesn’t like him might blow the whistle as to where he is hiding and that will be the end of him. Say if nothing happens in this world and the next president is elected, to me it seems no one so far that would straighten things out that Obama has created or caused. Hillary would just be an extension to Obamas’ policy. Trump seems to be full of himself with a big ego. I believe that it’s the big ego of Obama plus the hate that got him in trouble in the first place. I would say that Trump with his big ego would be too quick to push the button to obliterate this world.

Friends, I would say that you people have a big problem if the end times doesn’t happen.

That’s my rant of the day.

Following the news on America (Part 2)

Continued from Part 1.

I ended up the previous part of my thoughts on the news in America talking about Obama. That's probably not surprising you much.  I don't care for him.  I don't trust him. This man is the biggest phony of them all. He has conned people into accepting him as their president and I must say to my concern it really seems that he just wanted to get elected to destroy the USA. And it's clear he’s doing a good job of it. Unfortunately there are a lot of ass kissers in Washington who are letting him do it. He has turned most of them into liars and cover-ups for his misdeeds. Or else he's using the fact that the city is full of liars and corrupt people willing to lie and cover up for him.

Since this person has been elected I’ve never heard of so many people giving up on their faith. Same sex marriage has become a norm. Homosexuality has become a norm and in some schools and colleges and universities there can’t be any mention of anything that has anything to do with God. With the other presidents nothing like this has ever happened to my knowledge. corrupt people willing to lie and cover up for him.

An another note, the Pope is coming to Philadelphia. I have no confidence in this person. He doesn’t seem to be genuine and he just doesn’t act or talk like the previous ones. He has an agenda, and it's not about God.

Following the news on America (Part 1)

For the past couple of years I have been following the news, any news, with specific respect to the USA. When I read the news on one site I go to different sites to see if other sites are reporting the same thing. I also want to see what they have to say about what I just read about on other sites. They don't all agree of course. By doing this I soon found out that most of them can’t be believed as to the way the same news is reported. I guess the only thing a person can do is believe half of what is reported and leave the balance aside until when maybe something else gets reported that would confirm or deny what was reported in the first place.

One thing I do believe is the reporting as to how much people are turning against their faith. Especially the faith of the Catholic religion, often turning to other religions or cults. The denying that there is a God or anything else that would represent the Holy Trinity is more common than it seems it has ever been. I must also mention while I'm on the topic, that a lot of phonies say they believe in this and that just to make other people think that they are pious people.

Talking about phony people and then news from the USA, I must mention Obama. But I'll mention that in Part 2.

America.

I have read some Biblical scriptures and in those scriptures, America was never mentioned by name but referred to as a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah from the old Biblical days. The reason I have taken an interest in reading the scriptures is because of a picture of Obama and someone (a priest or a Cardinal of some kind) and whatever they had discussed, it was kept a secret. By reading even just the scriptures of Revelation and applying reason to what I was reading , I soon discovered what it was all about. In the old Biblical days there was 4 people who prophesied what would happen in the future and so far a couple of things were prophesied in those days have came true in the last century. Read the scriptures and you will find out for yourself.

Now if America is compared to Sodom and Gomorrah what would happen to it in the end days? Specifically, in America what would happen to approx 300 Million Americans? If this was to happen, Mr. self-appointed king of the south (Obama) do you think that your sense of diplomacy could deter the self-appointed king of the north to change his mind about what his intentions would be? Or would you just leave the country?

There isn’t too much news that I don’t see as I am retired and with nothing to do I’m on the internet almost 24 hours a day and a lot of times I see news or videos that pop up and after reading them I store them in my book marks. At times some of those videos are deleted from the internet because of what I see and listen I know they won’t be up for long.

America as Babylon

America is not referred to in the Bible as America but as Babylon and that’s why the title of this post is what it is. I read the scripture of Revelation and the way Babylon is described it can’t be any other nation than America. Then I read part of Isaiah and it more or less gives an identity as the revelations in referring to America.

With everything that is happening in the USA - people giving up on their faith, refusing to acknowledge that there is a God, and some can’t even stomach being in a place or walking by a place where there is something that represents any kind of religious belief. Even in some schools students are prevented from mentioning anything about religious belief because it might offend some one. Even homosexuality is accepted.

In the scriptures it refers to 2 people but they don’t mention who they are they are referred one to the South and one from the North. From what I’ve been reading of everything that has been going on, I will put a name to these self-appointed kings. To the South - Obama and to the North - Putin. Both of them will be responsible for the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and when that happens that will be the end of this world . Just read the scriptures and you will see why I’m saying this and why America is called Babylon. I could write more on that but I won’t. I will simply say that the 10 commandments do not seem to exist to most people in the USA. This kind of non-belief has been going on from what I’ve been seeing, since 2011. Of course there was some before but not nearly as much as there is now.

May God bless everyone and have a good day.

Refusing an Iraqi nun entrance to America

This morning while surfing the internet for news I happened to open this. It’s worth reading beyond just the headline, which reads:

“State Department's refusal to allow an Iraqi Nun to come to Washington to talk about the persecution of Christians in her conflict-torn country”. 

My thoughts as to possibilities why she was refused entrance to go to Washington follow. (1) Would she be a Muslim with no radical tendencies? (2) is it because she’s white? (3) is it because she’s a Christian? In the article, you will read the flimsy excuse they gave for not allowing her entrance to go to Washington. Of the three reasons I wondered, all of which are more plausible than their excuse, my best guess is it's #3.

Can you imagine letting another Christian in to go to Washington to preach about how Christians are mistreated in her country? How many people would be offended by that? We can’t offend some people, now can we?

With all the things that are happening in the USA I blame the self-appointed King because everything that has happened since he was elected. Racism has been revived, minorities have become the vocal majorities. Now it seems that Christianity is at its lowest on the importance scale. What used to be a God fearing country has been turned into an Anti-God fearing country. All I have to say for now is when the end of this world happens, I think the first nation to go will be the USA. It's like Sodom and Gomorrah because everything that is in the 10 Commandments of the Bible is being denied everyday there. Same sex marriages, homosexuality, theft, murders, denying the existence of God. Destruction of properties that represents some kind of religious beliefs, refusing to acknowledge statues, pictures, crucifixes also that represent some kind of belief in some religion. I could say a lot more but that’s enough pessimism for today.

Next American federal election.

I hope I’m still alive by the time the next American federal election rolls around. I want to see who gets elected as the next president. I know there is one person running for president whom I really hope does not win. Now  I will not mention their name because of the big package that’s following this person.  But this person doesn't differentiate between truth and lying in order to advance their  agenda for power. It will mean more corruption and lies.Like the sitting president, they think they are above the law.

I am a Canadian and I know some smart person is liable to say you’re not American so mind your own business. I would say quite true I’m not an American and you’re allowed to give your opinion that’s fine. Only what happens in the USA also affects some weak minded people in this country as they seem to be too busy to read and listen to the news, just like some of you people.

Those weak minded people don’t realize that the USA is the joke of the world now and mistrusted by nations that used to be friends and its been stated by some of those leaders of those nations. Who the president is, matters. The only thing I can say the nation of the USA is in a shambles and it will take a lot of time to bring it back to what it was after this self-appointed King is finished making it worse to complete his agenda before leaving office. I don’t think that this self-appointed King realizes that you can’t make friends with some of those third world countries (the ones that comes to mind at this time is Iran and North Korea). So more of the same type of leadership in the next election would be more of the same problems, We'll see what happens.

America is a big mess (Part 2)

I said so before and I will say it again: I believe that Islam is a religion of peace but in order for it to be a religion of peace the radicals would have to be eliminated and only then will it truly be a religion of peace. Just giving them a slap on the wrist like they're getting now will never bring them into this century. I will say at this time the USA doesn’t have a leader that has the guts to do what is needed to deal with this situation. Or he might think that trying to make friends with them will bring them into this century. He stated on a video that his fate is the Muslim fate. That is fine but to see what the radicals are doing butchering people and defacing and burning churches, he must realize that it’s wrong but yet nothing seems to get done about it.

I will also say that by conning the people into electing him, he has put himself in a bad spot because he doesn’t have a place to go to where he would be safe from being murdered either by a radical or by one of the citizens. John F. Kennedy was a lot better of a leader then the present leader and what happened to him? At least with G.W. Bush the radicals knew that they would be hunted down they knew that and they didn’t have to read it from the newspapers like they can do now. With this present leader they don’t know what he’s going to do for sure. Maybe he’s going to be on their side or do a complete turn around and go after them full blast. It seems like even he himself doesn't know what to do next because he is not up to the task of leadership. He has no plan, no sense.

Canadian voters are stupid too

I don’t think I should just blast the Americans for not knowing what is going on in their country because some of us Canadians are just as bad. Liberals have been elected in Ontario,how many times now despite all the scandal and trouble? I’m really worried about the next federal election here in Canada. I have a rotten feeling that the federal Liberals and Justin Trudeau will be the next party in power and Prime Minister. He might win simply because of his looks and who his dad was. He might be elected especially by the younger generation because they will not know the damage that his dad did to this country with his multiculturalism.

A bunch of chickens.

While reading the news on different sites like I always do, I came across an article (sorry, I lost the link) that had, I would say, a thousand comments about Obama that weren’t too nice. One comment that I came across was one where the person claimed that impeaching Obama would bring on cries of racism. No doubt from what I’ve been reading, it seems that if a person is anything other than white there would be cries of racism.  This word seems to be rampant these days as an excuse for lack of something actually meaningful to say.

If Obama were to be impeached and someone would start saying this is racism, I would say that the person saying that would be un-American.  Those cries would be from someone that is not aware of how his/her country is being taken apart by a man who has every intention of destroying the nation. His actions and lies and scandals prove that’s what he is doing.And if you are unaware of what is going on in your country, and you are willing to just shout racism, you are not doing your country justice as a citizen.  That, is un-American.

This president might be an American citizen, but that’s as far as it goes. I will say that he’s not an American in his heart.  If he was, he would show it by using action instead of talk and do something to go after the terrorists and enemies of the nation. I believe this man is in it for himself and no one else. I believe that if things really got too hot for him that he would consider martial law. 

One question sticks in my mind and I can’t forget it. Why would a nation like the USA want to order guillotines? I wrote about that a while back and it`s still not clear to me.  And what about those FEMA camps that have finally come up in the news lately? Why were there guards, guarding these camps before picking up homeless people and locking them up? This was reported recently on the Fox News website. Are they going to be turned into concentration camps? I may sound paranoid but this is frightening stuff that is happening.  In my opinion I would not trust the Obama administration for anything. I believe if by the next two elections (2014 and 2016) there is no change in the party dominating government, what is known now as the USA will be known as a power that used to be.

I really hope that I’m wrong in my opinions but from what I can see and read in the news it doesn’t look to good. 

Oh, and why did I call this post a bunch of chickens?  Because if Americans don't do anything about what is happening to their country, and do it in the next two elections, then they are a bunch of chickens (either afraid like chickens or just as dumb as chickens).  They will end up with a country they deserve for being a bunch of chickens.

Deceived by my own thoughts

I have been deceived by my own thoughts.  My reason for saying this is that my eyes have been opened because of what I’ve been reading in the news since I’ve taken more of an interested in American politics. I was deceived by my own thoughts in my thinking that the American people were smart.  But after a couple of years of keeping up with all the news from the USA, I must admit that I was wrong in my way of thinking.

Here are my reasons for coming to this realization.

1. In America, you have elected a leader that very little of any real value was known about when he was elected, except that he was a senator.  As a senator he often didn't even vote on issues that came before the Senate.

2.  The president's education details can’t be checked as his files on that are sealed. Then there was unresolved trouble about his birth certificate and doubts as to its legality.

3.  The president has shown by his conduct that he knows nothing about leading a country.  Yet his support, while down, remains much higher among the public than it should be. Is that smart?

4. The president has proven himself to be unable to tell the truth on numerous occasions. But the 'smart' American people continue to let him get away with it.

5. The president has been getting other people to lie for him as well.  As seasoned political people they willingly do so, even though may of their decisions to do so have helped weaken their country.  Not smart.

6  The president has at times refused to abide by the Constitution to satisfy his own objectives. This should be  show-stopper for the American people.  The last time I checked, he's still emperor. Giving away your liberty is not smart.

7.  The volume of scandals at the White House stubbornly remains ignored by the uninformed masses.

8. The president has a history of  using diplomacy as a reason for not going after terrorists or rogue nations like Syria.  Americans willingly let their national security be undermined by the president.  That is just plain dumb.

9.  Propping up the economy don’t seem too much of a big concern for this president.  Yet Americans re-elected him in 2012.  Why?

10.  The president has come out with laws or proposals of his choosing (e.g. Obamacare, new taxes) that seem to be going against the propping up of the economy and causing a bigger hassle for the citizens.

11.  The entire administration doesn’t seem to have any experience in managing anything. Yet Americans seem to be even more down on Congress who keep trying to clean up the president's messes.  Not smart.

I would say to you people take a look around you, get busy and pay more attention to what is going on in your country.  Find out how many businesses are sending out work to other countries where the labor is cheaper so the rich will get richer and provide less jobs for the citizens of the nation.  The president has done nothing of substance in this regard, and the people of America are alarmingly ignorant about it.

12.  With what businesses have to pay for Obamacare, plus recently the attempt at boosting the minimum wage, all of this doesn’t show any interest in boosting the economy but dragging it down, business by business. In other words bankrupting the nation.

A good investigation should be done on anyone running to be elected as president from now on.  Americans need help apparently.  They don't seem to be smart enough to figure these things out for themselves.  I used to think they were that smart.  No longer.

Those are my opinions.

Where did America go?

There used to be a country called America, or the United States of America.It was a great country.

As long as I can remember, that nation had always had a president that was willing to protect its citizens by going after the ones who would threaten them or the nation. They would also try and keep the economy up to high standards and keep it so that there was enough jobs for workers. They would also try and keep the spending down to a certain level. And while there most often deficits, they were not out of control deficits like we seen now.  Now that has all went down the drain because America has twice elected a phony. The president is an imposter (he's not really qualified to lead) and someone who is always right in his thinking (he acts like he is a King).  Neither of those two things work well alone, never mind together.

It seems like he now wants to weaken the military - in a time of international dangers that are perhaps at their worst levels in 50 years or more. Not too long ago they wanted to take the weapons away from the citizens. They are letting one of their enemies (Iran),  bring some of their ships to the US coast and no one knows what those ships have on them. If they have submarines following them what do they have in those subs?  And even Russian ships are getting bolder now near the U.S. coast. The president is allowing all of this to happen.

Does Iran have something to deliver on the American people and their only means of delivering is getting close enough to the US to do it? Like rockets or do they want to drop off some Jihadist to start something in the US? Or both?  What if Iran and Russia are in cahoots?

Does the USA have a president that would do something about it? From everything that I’ve read about him the answer would be a big NO.

The USA now has the reputation of being untrustworthy because of all the lies and scandals what went on in that nation, since this "king" has been elected. This man will be the downfall of what was once a great nation.

My opinions are based on the news that I read.

Have a good day.

Yet another school complaints I have

Things are still getting worse in schools in America. Not all schools. But there's a growing problem. That needs to be addressed.  My guess is they won't be addressed.

Things are really getting bad when a school tells students that they can’t celebrate America. This is outright brainwashing.

Students and parents at a Colorado high school are outraged after administrators turned down their request for a spirit week day honoring America because it might offend non-Americans.

“They said they didn’t want to offend anyone from other countries or immigrants,” a 16-year-old member of the student council told me. “They just really did not want to make anyone feel uncomfortable.”

The student council at Fort Collins High School had proposed having a day to celebrate the United States during next week’s Winter Spirit Week. The young people pitched “’Merica Monday” – and invited their classmates to dress in patriotic colors. Their proposal was promptly shot down by administrators.

This is what happens when a minority effectively becomes the majority, by the sheer volume and continuity of their special agenda complaints. It's especially galling when soldiers are putting their lives at risk defending the very freedom of speech that is clearly being abused by some. If any immigrant feels left out because of students wanting to celebrate their country on a certain day then those immigrants should not be here in the first place. They came to America to live, or at least temporarily to work or learn. Clearly they want to be there. No one is twisting their arm to stay. So if they really are that offended then they are being hypocritical. They are taking advantage of the benefits without any level of appreciation for their hosts or their new country. If that's the case they should be sent back to whence they came. In the case of the school, I would say including the parents.

I am so disgusted with the way this world has turned out to be these days. To me the end is not coming fast enough to prevent all of us from becoming insane with this political correctness garbage. For things to be as crazy as they are I can imagine that in the not too distant future, a student with nice white teeth will not be able to smile at students that have yellow teeth because they might be offended.

American schools keep getting it wrong.

Item 2. Lunches.

Today I have a couple of more things to rant about with respect to American schools, because they keep doing things wrong.  I realize that these items may be isolated incidents but there are so many of them that keep popping up, that there must be something fundamentally wrong with the underlying education system in America.

Here's another example of what is still going on.

A California elementary school is facing a possible lawsuit after a teacher allegedly confiscated a six-year-old child’s Christmas candy canes and told him “Jesus is not allowed in school.”

Last December, Isaiah Martinez brought his first grade classmates at Merced Elementary School candy canes. Attached to each treat was a message explaining the religious legend surround the candies. The legend references a candy maker who created the candy cane to symbolize the life of Christ.

When the six-year-old boy arrived at school, his teacher noticed the religious message and immediately confiscated the gifts, according to Robert Tyler, the general counsel for Advocates for Faith & Freedom.

The teacher, identified by the AFF as Valerie Lu, then consulted with the supervising principal who instructed her to prevent Isaiah from distributing the candy canes.

I don’t remember so much of this going on in the schools against religion with previous presidents. Don’t get me wrong I’m not blaming Obama for this kind of behavior in schools and everywhere else. But he's certainly not busy calling schools out for it the way he is busy demonizing American business. He's got his priorities wrong, and it shows when these sorts of stories pop up again and again.

Here's yet another example.

A New Jersey mother says her fifth grade son’s school has repeatedly taken her child’s lunch and thrown it away over unpaid cafeteria balances -- despite having apologized for doing as much in the past.

“This to me is a form of bullying," Amy Ross told NBC 10 after the latest incident, earlier in January, involving her 10-year-old son, Jake, who has a form of autism called Asperger’s Syndrome, and officials at Smithville Elementary School in Galloway Township, N.J. “It’s between the parents and the cafeteria. It’s not between the child and the lunch lady. Let the kids eat their lunch."

Ross’s questioning of the school comes the same week the Salt Lake School District in Utah made headlines for doing the same thing.

The Salt Lake Tribune reports Uintah Elementary School officials in Salt Lake City replaced about 32 elementary school students' $2 lunches with fruit and milk on Tuesday because of insufficient or negative balances.

The Tribune cites a school district spokesman as later explaining cafeteria workers could not tell who was behind on their lunch accounts until after a child was given their food.

Once a child showed a negative balance, the already-issued lunch was reportedly confiscated and thrown away for sanitary reasons.

"I think it’s despicable," Erica Lukes, whose 11-year-old daughter saw her lunch replaced, told the paper. "These are young children that shouldn’t be punished or humiliated for something the parents obviously need to clear up."

What's missing from these schools is common sense.  And it appears to me to be getting worse and worse.
