God's infallible Word can be trusted
God’s infallible Word can be trusted
This past week I have been reading through the book of Isaiah. It is so exciting to see how the integrity of the Bible is beyond question. God called Isaiah as a prophet. He was responsible for sharing the words of the LORD of heaven’s armies many times and though he lived to see some of those prophecies fulfilled he did not see the most amazing prophecy of them all. Seven hundred years before…

Trust in the Lord - Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord – Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. (Prov 3:5-6) Proverbs 3:5-6 is perhaps one of the best-known passages in all of Scripture. These words written by Solomon are found on many plaques, posters, and paintings that hang on home and office walls. Like any proverb, it encapsulates a…

Is the King James Bible the Best Translation?
Is the King James Bible the Best Translation?
I really enjoyed my conversation with Pastor Steve Waldron about all things pertaining to the King James Bible. We covered questions like: How did we get the Bible? How did we get the King James Bible? Is the King James Bible the best English translation? What about other modern English translations? Can the Bible be trusted as the literal Word of God? Steve Waldron is a longtime professor of…

talk to me about your favorite episodes of xyz !!! or your favorite moments !!
oh my god , okay , uh , i have SO many favorite episodes / moments , this is gnna take a hot motherfuckin sec ( post!editing edward here , i was right ) , uh , KDSFJGHSDFJ , okay , sO … folks , if you’ve ever wanted a somewhat comprehensive summary of all of my feelings on the xy/z series , here it is , all in one place :
001 - 002.
right from the start of satoshi showing up in kalos , the entire energy of the series was just so !!! & the battle animations were just such a breath of fresh air after having watched bw & i was just instantly drawn in . then there was the whole incident with the gablias & just satoshi following it up the tower & having calming it down enough to remove the collar , knowing that it was in pain , be the first priority , & then leaping after pikachu when an edge of the tower broke off —— my heart just was so warm throughout all that .
003.
satoshi consistently repeating that a strategy is needed against yayakoma sort of just made me smile & think , yeah he’s grown a lot since previous seasons . along with that , the moment where it clicks for satoshi why keromatsu has been described as “ the pokemon that battles as it pleases without listening to its trainer ” , understanding his feelings & working to attain keromatsu’s goal together instead of him just leaping blindly without considering how to most effectively achieve it ; that also just really made me soft , because finally there’s a trainer that actually understands keromatsu & it reaffirms that him choosing satoshi was indeed a good choice .
006.
a really small thing , but when satoshi’s stuck on how to counter viola’s pokemon & he & serena have a small talk & serena says that he told her “ don’t give up until the end ” & that he hasn’t changed & “ this is so like you ” & satoshi just pauses for a second . & then he laughs . because how could he forget ?? it’s not like him to mull things over too much , he just goes at it with fighting spirit , no matter what it may be or even if fighting spirit is all he has . that moment just always makes me smile to think about , probably mostly due to the pause & laugh , honestly .
007.
serena putting her sihorn knowledge to use & teaching satoshi how to ride one , & the moments where she was remembering herself learning & when she repeats her mom’s words of “ don’t talk !! you’ll bite your tongue !! ” & “ go for broke !! ” without even thinking —— those were sweet . also the kalos gang talking to serena’s mom for the first time , that was really adorable , especially with everyone pushing each other out of the frame to talk & satoshi excitedly talking about serena teaching him to ride sihorn & her trying to get him to shush up & ending up just shoving him away from the phone entirely before he could finish a sentence .
008.
satoshi & pikachu continuing to battle the rocket gang even after maaiika blinded pikachu by having satoshi become his eyes & guide where to dodge & where to strike ; it was a really nice way of showing the trust that pikachu has in satoshi & vice versa , because battling blind while relying on someone else’s directions does take a lot of trust to pull off smoothly .
009.
honestly just the entire episode : the backstory with the citroid , citron reclaiming his gym , the kalos gang saying they’ll grow together with citron , him declaring to his dad that he wishes to travel with satoshi & serena & stating that they’ve helped him grow as a person in even just the short amount of time that they’ve been together at that point , the promise between satoshi & citron to have a proper gym battle against each other once satoshi reaches the skill level of someone with four badges & citron promising to get stronger as well to be able to give that proper gym battle —— this entire episode was filled with so much goodness .
025.
after rewatching the orange league arc , i’d come to realize that zakuro giving his challengers the option to climb their way to the battlefield was quite similar to a previous gym leader that too had his challengers climb for the right to challenge him , but there were a few differences , one significant one being that , in kalos , satoshi has zero hesitation in his decision to climb the walls & , though he slips once , he doesn’t look down & finishes his climb with relative ease , a vast improvement from the aforementioned orange league arc , & the connection with the earlier arc makes this a moment , or rather thing , that i really liked . also the evolution of way of fighting through battle with the counter - tombs was really neat .
030 - 033.
honestly just watching corni & her lucario bond & grow & come to truly understand each other & overcome the overwhelming power of lucario’s mega evolution was all just really interesting ; also the understanding that satoshi had for her connection with lucario & for the need to battle the bursyamo in the cave on their own due to his own experience , that was nice .
034.
the entire episode , really . satoshi took one look at luchabull & just went “ kin ” . the excitement & admiration he felt at meeting luchabull & him asking if kanazawa could share some stories about him & just being so !!! when kanazawa tells him he could take him to luchabull’s training spot —— it was all just so tangible & heartwarming . satoshi working with luchabull to help master the flying press & trying to help by thinking of a way to increase the speed of the attack without having to remove the personal dramatic flair aspect of luchabull’s particular move was also really sweet , along with admitting total defeat even though it was a draw between luchabull & keromatsu because luchabull had perfected his flying press after trying satoshi’s suggestions only once & impressed him + luchabull still wanting to go along with satoshi & the others .
039 - 042.
the rival trio were so great & the summer camp was a wonderful way of introducing these recurring characters , not to mention that this marks the beginning of steady discovery for serena of what sort of dream she wants to attain , with sana telling her about the trypokarons & it sparking an interest for her .
044.
oh man , the gym battle between satoshi & corni was such a ride to watch , especially just the first time around , like the animation team really pulled out some god damn stops for this episode because , holy fuck , it was like a cup of coffee for me . also , the moment with satoshi realizing he can’t really copy anyone else’s strategy because he’s got his own type of rhythm to battling was just kinda nice .
047.
serena’s first caught pokemon & her deciding that she wants to become a pokemon performer along with fokko & yancham . she’s struggled with the fact that she’s the only one she knows without a goal or a dream in life all the way up until this episode & just the fact that she’s finally so certain of something like that really warmed my heart .
053.
going off from the aforementioned ep , serena confronting her mom about wanting to become a pokemon performer & challenging her to a race with the stakes being that , if serena loses , she’s going to come back home , & even though she falls down in the middle of the race , not giving up & her determination getting her through to the finish line first . she finally had something she’s so passionate about & i just felt nothing but pride & joy for her .
054.
kojiro & maaiika , man . kojiro & maaiika .
060.
while serena may have failed in her first trypokaron , it was really heartwarming to see her finally turn around in the end & not let the failure stop her entirely from pushing on ahead , knowing that she’s not alone in it , she has her pokemon with her . also the blue ribbon she got from satoshi being used for her new look was sweet .
064.
elle & serena’s battle & serena taking elle’s advice of smiling while performing with her pokemon to heart & reaching fokko in a way that made it evolve into tairenar all hit me in the heart like a bag of bricks , not gonna lie .
067.
oh man . the entire gym battle between satoshi & citron . it really was so electrifying to watch , the animation & emotion in the battle was off the hook & i could swear that my heart was racing its own marathon during all of it . i really felt that feeling of not wanting the battle to end & wanting it to last forever , & when it was over i felt like i’d just gotten an absolute rush of adrenaline & had to slowly come down from it . it’s honestly my favorite gym battle to date , full stop ( though the unofficial gym battle against kasumi in sumo is a close second due to similar reasons as this one ) , because not only was the battle itself so incredibly well done , but the chemistry between not just trainer & pokemon , but trainer & trainer as well was just so beautifully displayed in a way that none of the other gym battles with travelling companions who were gym leaders had ( the battle against kasumi is one of an old friendship from the very early first days of their journeys , sort of an “ it’s been a long while, wonder how you’ve you been ” , while the one against citron is more that of gratitude & respect , mostly coming from citron ; they’ve got two distinctly different connections ) ; citron was inspired by satoshi to be the type of trainer he is in this episode , all the events & incidents that have happened up until this battle have made him the way he is , & he is giving it his all because it’s not only what satoshi deserves but it’s also what citron has achieved —— he’s grown as a trainer & as a person & this battle is his way of showing all his progress thus far . it’s a thank you . also , you can pry the line “ satoshi, you need me. a fighter like you needs a calm type like me by his side ” from my cold , dead grasp .
074.
satoshi dealing with the trick rooms was interesting to watch , & even though the end result may not have been quite as satisfactory as he’d hoped , the repeated use of flame charge to build up speed for when the room timed out was a heh moment that i liked ; he’s got a tendency to sometimes purposefully make his opponents think he’s making a mistake while he’s actually just waiting for the right moment to make a good move & i really appreciate those moments .
076.
the gang parenting the newly hatched onbat was so sweet & so cute , especially with satoshi & his flying types , helping it learn to fly . it’s kind of a small thing , but it’s so adorable & heartwarming that i can’t help but call it a favorite .
085.
kojiro stepping up & helping serena with tairenar’s broken stick because he understands the feeling of losing something that may seem easily replaceable to others but holds immeasurable value & memories to the one who owns said something . it was honestly just so sweet & so heartwarming & he was happy for tairenar even while getting blasted off , i mean come on . my heart was mush .
087.
tiny thing but satoshi sprawling out in his sleep to the point of having an arm draped over citron was really cute & a favorite thing .
092 - 093.
first off , i dig gojika’s whole Thing so much & i think she might be my favorite gym leader purely aesthetic - wise ; second , the foreshadowing of satoshi - gekkouga & gekogashira’s backstory , holy shit . not gonna lie , the lines “ what keromatsu wanted was something deeper . i call this … love . […] this one’s future … is you two climbing up towards a future of new greatness … that no one has ever seen before . ” hit me in the heart like a bowling ball . & oh man the gym battle … god it was so much fun to watch & i loved every moment of it , particularly satoshi having pikachu time the amount of time it takes for gojika’s future sight to strike , & Oof the moment where gojika sees satoshi & gekogashira’s future in the water pulse .
100 / xy&z07.
gekogashira’s evolution & the first instance of satoshi - gekkouga … honestly , almost every time i rewatch an instance of it after a while of not seeing any , i realize i forgot just how intense the satoshi - gekkouga state is , like even just the powering up part on its own .
106 / xy&z13.
something about the abruptness of the ends of the battles between satoshi - gekkouga & jukain & mega lizardon always cracks me up , i don’t know what to tell y’all . also the exchange of “ satoshi, what was that ?? how can you do that ?? please tell me !! ” “ i don’t know either. my vision goes bam & then i’m all rargh. ” “ i see, i see … wait, that does not help !! ” .
112 - 113 / xy&z19 - 20.
even though she lost in the end , the fact that serena had even made it to the point of facing off against elle in the first place was such a huge deal & i can honestly say that i cried a Lot during these episodes & that they are the reason i now instantly get teary - eyed upon hearing serena’s dori - dori song . also , it was really nice that musashi accepted her loss as well as she did , casually stating that it was because of the rest of the gang that she made it even that far , even though just a few trypokarons ago she would have blown her lid off at a loss when she was so close to her goal ; the rest of the gang being just so proud of her & kojiro & nyarth being more than willing to pay for the celebratory dinner was really sweet , too .
116 / xy&z23.
small things stuck with me & make this a nice episode to rewatch , such as the start of studying satoshi & gekkouga’s synchronization , pikachu shouting at satoshi for calling out onvern for a battle instead of him & getting pouty , the small details of satoshi’s eyes narrowing just as he’s about to resume battle with gekkouga having freshly powered up & his pupils contracting in a closeup when an attack is incoming which are such tiny things but delight me to no end , & just the enthusiasm with which satoshi goes into his decision to raise his own strength closer to that of gekkouga’s .
118 / xy&z25.
where can i even begin with this episode Holy Shit … first off , this ep reaffirmed to me that carne is such a delight , honestly , def one of my favorite champions , second … that battle though … that battle … poetic cinema … the battle choreography , the animation , the way satoshi - gekkouga’s theme seemed to perfectly sync up with what was on screen , satoshi moving in perfect sync with gekkouga’s movements as he attacked as though he were the one performing the attacks , the raw emotion in satoshi’s voice as he called out attacks & declarations of becoming much , much stronger … it was such a rush of adrenaline to watch , even bigger than the one i got while watching the gym battle between satoshi & citron , i felt like my heart stopped beating the moment the battle was abruptly ended by satoshi losing consciousness . & hey , the animator(s) responsible for the scenes with the white background & black paint splatters , let me get y’all’s number , i wanna treat y’all because holy fuck those were intense . i loved them .
119 / xy&z26.
this episode is less of a favorite due to what happens & more of a favorite due to the content as a whole . upsetting to him as it may have been , satoshi had been having a huge winning streak , alan & black - outs excluded , so a loss was imminent , & , honestly , understandable . seeing that shoota had surpassed him in an aspect & grown so strong in such a short amount of time got to him & affected his psyche ; kid got scared . he got nervous & , as we all know , a nervous trainer leads to a faulty battle . i will say though that the little bit after the internal thoughts in the middle of the jukain vs gekkouga battle of satoshi saying shoota surprised him delights me to no end & i blame how rica said the line along w/ the small motion satoshi makes while saying it .
120 / xy&z27.
satoshi literally saying “ hold my jacket while i fight this guy ” . i can’t call anything else a favorite even though i loved this episode because everything else just made me emotional & upset ; particularly the fact that the preview for the next episode was silent except for the snowy wind blowing & satoshi dejectedly reading out the title of the episode without even saying the “ everyone, get pokemon ” line at the end .
121 / xy&z28.
putting aside the upsetting factor of the title not being read out by anyone … the flashbacks of younger satoshi with all those wild pokemon really warmed my heart after all of the upsetting stuff that had been going on . also the moment of satoshi & gekkouga finally making their power their own , based on their mutual strong desire to save one pokemon , along with them both deciding to start fresh from zero , gekkouga rolling his monster ball towards satoshi just as like when he initially chose him & everything .
122 / xy&z29.
oh honey when satoshi - gekkouga showed up … oh Honey … again , the thing with satoshi moving in sync with gekkouga’s moves as though he were the one attacking , except this time even more intense than during the battle with carne ; for some reason the aerial ace kick downwards always gets me & that small bit is one of my top favorite parts of the entire episode somehow .
123 / xy&z30.
satoshi & eureka finishing off the preview for the next episode together while citron’s in the background wordvomiting about the wonders of ingenuities . that is all .
125 / xy&z32.
satoshi’s declarations of aiming to win the entire league , serena having to physically drag satoshi away from a battle before it begins when he’s already running out of time to get registered for the conference , satoshi doing the arm thing on trova , seeing the frustration of someone who failed to get all eight badges in time , just so many favorites across the episode .
126 / xy&z33.
the various mega - evolutions , tierno & shoota’s battle , & numelgon rejoining the team were all Oof .
127 - 128 / xy&z34 - 35.
satoshi’s eyes shining while watching alan’s fight honestly made my heart go ding , not gonna lie ; the boundless excitement building in him is real & it’s wonderful . & the start of the battle between satoshi & shoota … i felt like satoshi using pikachu’s electric ball against bloster’s grip was a nice callback to using it to get out of horubee’s grasp on his tail in the first episode , & honestly the part where satoshi had pikachu block gillgard’s entry into its shield was such a heh moment , like it really was so on brand for him to pull something like that , something that would have failed were the timing off even in the slightest ; also i really liked the small detail of satoshi’s pupils contracting when he spots a chance for dealing with king’s shield & the little laugh he did when shoota’s peroream returned the favor for what onvern did . but holy fuck the finale of the battle between satoshi & shoota … the fight between satoshi - gekkouga & mega jukain … oh man i absolutely felt that battle ; the adrenaline rush i got from watching it was on par with the gym battles against corni , citron , & urup , & the battle against carne . the raw power in it … wrow … the animation , the battle choreography , just how absolutely tangible the attacks were … but the true oof was yet to come … this was only the semi - finals … the biggest big dick energy of them all was still only just around the corner …
129 / xy&z36.
honestly this episode had just really tiny things that i liked , like the nurse joy at the beginning of the episode wishing for satoshi to do his best in the finals with a shine in her eyes which was honestly really cute , citron & eureka’s dad stealing the citroid’s line about waiting in line for 2h being an easy feat , the jirachi keychain , alan genuinely being excited for the finale & battling satoshi , & how could i list off favorites in this episode without mentioning the ending song , oh my god , it’s the softest & cutest & sweetest shit , i swear i could get a cavity from watching it on repeat .
130 - 131 / xy&z37 - 38.
ho - ly - shit . i mean , this was the finals match , so no fucking shit the battle would radiate big dick energy , but the absolute wave of power that ran over me while watching it was absolutely phenomenal . the animation , the movements , the emotion , the raw power behind each call of attack & execution of move , the absolutely palpable energy of the battle … whew … i needed to sit back for a few minutes & just catch my breath after all of that … like , putting aside how much hatred i have for the constant baiting of a league victory for satoshi ( with him declaring he’s aiming for victory throughout the entire series & a bunch of characters saying lines that imply a league victory ( not to mention , the final episode of the conference being called “ kalos league victory !! satoshi’s ultimate match !! ” , like holy shit , can you pull a bigger dick move ) ) , only for alan to beat satoshi - gekkouga with a move that he’d easily blocked before in spite of gekkouga using an insanely more powerful counter attack than the first time while also having the type advantage ( but go off i guess ) … it was an incredibly well executed battle & , really , the end result was the only thing that i would ( & did ) change . also , a bunch of tiny things that i really loved were citron’s hand trembling out of excitement during the start of the battle , luchabull coming out of his monster ball on his own when onvern was defeated & badly hurt , alan experiencing the same feeling that most trainers feel while battling satoshi —— the feeling of wanting the battle to continue on for as long as possible because they’re deriving such fun & enjoyment from the raw passion that arises in the midst of the fight , kojiro starting to root for satoshi & while initially giving him slack for it musashi & nyarth joining in on it , rocket gang stating that they were the ones that helped make satoshi as strong as he is ( which , honestly , go off y’all three because you’re so right & i’ve been saying it for a while now ) , & again , the fucking ending song , i swear it could cure my depression if i watched it enough times . & then there was the start of fleur - de - lis’ plan being set into motion …
132 - 134 / xy&z39 - 41.
rocket gang broadcasting live coverage of the happenings in miare city , the zygarde showdown , serena & platane going to save hari with manon & rocket gang following them & the “ this is that “ the enemy of our enemy is our friend ” thing ” , citron kicking flare gang ass … satoshi & gekkouga resisting energy that was powerful enough to control zygarde & satoshi’s speech of loving this world & there being people & pokemon he loves & the absolute raw Emotion in his delivery as he shifts into the bond phenomenon along with the return of … the Thing with the white background & black paint splatters (seriously , people responsible for those , hit me up & let me treat y’all ) … poetic cinema … in the midst of fighting against fleur - de - lis , satoshi honestly dropped some intense fucking lines , not gonna lie , & you can’t deny , like … “ fighting instinct, whatever … there’s more to a pokemon’s power than that. i’ve realized during my journey … that me & my pokemon’s strength is constantly believing in each other … & constantly loving each other no matter what. if you don’t get it, i will show you here & now !! ” & “fleur - de - lis !! i don’t care if you hate this world or not ; the world belongs to humans & pokemon alike. it belongs to everyone !! stop being selfish & talking about … how you’re going to destroy or change it, or that we won’t live to see tomorrow !! those who will meet someone dear to them tomorrow, those who will achieve their dreams tomorrow, those who will start their journeys as trainers tomorrow, & those whose wounds will heal tomorrow ; each & every one of them has their own tomorrow !! you have no good reason to not let them see that tomorrow !! that’s why … me & my pokemon will fight for their tomorrow !! ” were some raw as fuck lines . & speaking of raw as fuck … holy shit did eureka bringing squishy back to its senses absolutely tear me apart … this child … she’s scared for her life & in tears , but she’s not crying for herself , she’s crying for the one she’d promised to protect & never let go of … & she finds it in herself to sing to it the song she’d made up just for it & that she’d sung & hummed to it throughout their journeying together … & the more she sings it , the louder she does so , hoping , knowing … it will help bring her friend back … & it does . & , if you listen closely , you can hear edward in the background absolutely sobbing just remembering it all . oh but the emo shit doesn’t end there , oh no - no - no … there’s the citroid . i have one image for that …
135 - 136 / xy&z42 - 43.
putting aside the rocket gang also kicking flare gang ass & continuing to broadcast live coverage of the mayhem unfolding , i think we all know who the true hero of the zygarde arc was . it was eureka , that’s who . she befriended a basically - god & saved it & protected it & made it & another basically - god of it’s kind realize that the world is worth saving . i love her & i’m proud of her . that being said … eureka tickling a spot on the other z - core while saying that squishy likes when she does that & it just nodding next to her like she’s said the wisest truth in the universe was really hecking cute . the little detail of daigo kissing his key stone to activate mega evolution was neat , & oh damn carne & the gym leaders assembling to assist … they came in ready to kick ass & kick ass they did . everyone charging in on the megalith , even the rocket gang joining in , the back - to - back champion fighting , everyone doing everything within their power to save hari & stop the maglith … & the zygarde !!! “ we have set our hopes on humans. she has protected us this whole time. she promised she would never let us go. now it is our turn !! ” oh honey … i’m telling you , eureka saved the world with her kindness . but the use of the piano instrumental of squishy’s song when the zygarde are saying goodbye & the ending song bye nyarth was illegal , bye .
137 / xy&z44.
honestly just someone instantly recognizing satoshi from the league made me really happy somehow , especially since the only other time someone’s recognized him from a league that i can name of the top of my head was masato way back in advanced . the citroid learning about the joys of gym battles all over again was really nice , too .
138 / xy&z45.
serena deciding to hold a pokemon performance in miare city’s square to lift everybody’s spirits higher with sana & musashi joining her in it absolutely lit my heart up , so i’d say serena was quite successful in her plan . also , satoshi pointing out things he knows are of interest to serena while they’re out in the city & him pulling her along by the hand to battle when he notices her being gloomy was really cute & sweet ; i might not be on board for them as a ship but man i can so absolutely see the appeal . also - also , the mention of pokemon contests !!! which makes me think that it’d be really interesting for serena to meet with haruka & hikari & their rivals & face off against them , which i know we’ll never get to see but it’s nice to think about . also - also - also , yashio saying she’s a fan of serena’s & the beginning of dori dori kicking in really yanked at my heart strings & still makes me instantly turn into a tearful mess , thanks .
139 / xy&z46.
the long - distance battling with satoshi - gekkouga was really nice , especially since i’m particularly fond of any & all scenes that display the powers / abilities brought out by the bond phenomenon ( something i might make a post on some day , actually , since it really is such an interesting thing to think about ) … but alas , it was time to say goodbye to gekkouga … it was sad , yes , but the knowledge that their bond will always connect them no matter the physical distance is a comfort … the promise between squishy & eureka to go on an adventure again when eureka’s a trainer sort of punched me in the soul , honestly .
140 / xy&z47.
hanako & okido !!! pikachu squishing his face on the monitor !!! satoshi leaning way into the camera !!! it was all so cute !! also , rocket gang editing the footage they filmed so that it looked like they were the ones responsible for the defeat of the flare gang & it actually working ; i also really liked the little heh detail with the solrock & lunatone keychains as a nudge about the upcoming sumo series . but good lord eureka’s speech to dedenne about not wanting to say goodbye either but knowing that they have to & that one day she’ll become a trainer with dedenne as her partner … i barely skimmed over that part while rewatching the episode & even two lines from it made me start crying . also , what does it say about me that the first thing i thought when citron said “ [..] can i also ask one last favor ?? there is something i want to do very badly. ” was if he wanted to kiss satoshi too ?? i will say though , them having one last battle before parting ways warmed my heart a lot … the flashbacks of everyone’s adventures throughout this journey & the glimpses of what the side cast were up to hit me in the emotions , but what truly played my heart like a violin concerto … was satoshi coming home . there was no big fanfare , no grand welcome back , just a boy returning to his home town after a long journey , nothing but the sounds of the night accompanying him as he makes his way to his house , followed by a message of “ & to your own way. ” , unlike in previous finales where the send - off was “ next time … a new beginning !! ” , a sign that , from here on out , we are no longer going to follow satoshi , that , though he still has a ways to go before achieving his goal of becoming a pokemon master , we won’t be accompanying him on his next journey . the way satoshi arriving in masara town was executed … it felt final & it really felt like coming home . & i for one can only wish satoshi the best on his next adventure .

Swami Amar Jyoti -God's Presence on Our Path from Swami Amar Jyoti
PRABHUSHRI SWAMI AMAR JYOTI -- A Brief Biography
In 1958, taking initiation of Vidyut Sannyas (lit:"lightning"--a kind https://swamiamarjyoti.wordpress.com/ of monasticism that's a self-initiated ) in the holy site of Badrinath of Himalaya, and carrying the title Swami Amar Jyoti (Swami--Knower of the Self; Amar Jyoti--Immortal Light), He descended into the plains of India for His God-given mission into the world. The Ashram Gurudeva founded was Jyoti Ashram, under Ananda Niketan Trust, located in Pune, Maharashtra, India. Samadhi mid rangeAfter four decades spent continually traveling, giving Satsang and Retreats, establishing Ashrams and directing innumerable spirits to higher understanding, Gurudeva took Mahasamadhi release of the mortal body. Prabhushri Swami Amar Jyoti was born in a small town in northwestern India, not far from the banks of the Indus River on May 6, 1928. His parents called Him Rama. Much beloved by family and professors, He shocked everyone with the choice to leave home a few months before graduation, saying,"I'd love to read an open book of this world for my education." At the age of nineteen, without money or any specific destination, He took the train He discovered arriving in Calcutta. In 1960 a silent and glowing Holy Man, dressed in the ochre robe of a sannyasin (wandering monk) descended from the heights of Himalaya and started traveling the length and breadth of India in pilgrimage, living on alms and the providence of God through His fellow man. Walking on a road in South India one dayHe had been offered a ride by a guy on his way following His exile from Tibet to a religious conference in Madras in honor of the Dalai Lama. The Man consented to accompany him to the gathering of monks abbots and pundits and, without having said but a few words to his host, was given a seat. In another town of South India, the Holy Man was asked to give Satsang (spiritual discourse), for the first time in His life, and in English, in the Vivekananda Teacher's Training College in Tiruchirappalli. His title was Swami Amar Jyoti. Refugees were pouring over the border of East Bengal (now Bangladesh) into West Bengal by the thousands each day. He decided to leave the company to become a volunteer for the refugees and headed the entire volunteer corps there. With a devotee He accepted an offer in 1961 to go to the United States. Finally the sincerity of His disciples persuaded Prabhushri to establish an Ashram, and Sacred Mountain Ashram was founded in 1974 followed by Desert Ashram under the nonprofit organization in 1975 Truth Consciousness He continued to pursue religious enlightenment and humanitarian service before retiring to Himalaya where He lived for around ten years, one-pointed on the Goal of Liberation in meditation and silence. Many places of pilgrimage were seen walking on foot miles each day. But the temple village close to the source of the Ganga River, a cave in Gangotri, was the place of awakenings His spiritual disciplines and, eventually, Illumination.

Former Arizona Senator John McCain's office issued his farewell statement to the American people after his death on Saturday. In it McCain slammed President Donald Trump's policies without mentioning him.
Senator John McCain's office issued his farewell statement to the American people after his death on Saturday.
The statement slammed President Donald Trump's policies without mentioning his name.
Meanwhile, Trump led a confused White House response to a self-inflicted controversy caused by the White House not keeping flags at half mast for the customary period of time.
Trump eventually re-lowered flags and made a statement saying he respected McCain.
McCain let his final feelings towards Trump be known by not inviting him to his funeral.
Sen. John McCain's office issued his farewell statement to the American people after his death on Saturday. In it he slammed President Donald Trump's policies as the president became mired in controversy over his apparent disrespect for the former Arizona senator.
McCain, the GOP's 2008 presidential candidate and longtime party leadership figure, and Trump — a political neophyte whose now wide grip on the party dates back less than two years— had long been rivals.
McCain, who survived North Vietnamese forces shooting down his plane, a failed ejection that shattered three of his limbs, a savage beating by the waiting enemy, and a stint as a prisoner of war wherein he refused early release to favor other US captives, has repeatedly had his status as a war hero questioned by Trump.
The two frequently sparred on issues of decorum. McCain also dealt a death blow to Trump's American Health Care Act, severely setting back the president's legislative agenda.
But in dying, McCain made clear his true feelings for Trump by asking him not to attend his funeral and rebuking him in his final words to the country.
From McCain's farewell:
"We weaken our greatness when we confuse our patriotism with tribal rivalries that have sown resentment and hatred and violence in all the corners of the globe. We weaken it when we hide behind walls, rather than tear them down, when we doubt the power of our ideals, rather than trust them to be the great force for change they have always been."
Trump's controversial response to McCain's death
Since McCain's death, Trump has come under fire for a confused and possibly disrespectful response to the passing of an American who served his country for sixty years.
Initially, Trump made no statement on McCain himself, only wishing his family well in wake of his death. Later, Trump's White House bucked the long-established trend of flying flags at half mast from the time of a Senator's death to his burial.
The White House and Pentagon, buildings under control of the executive branch, raised their flags shortly after McCain's death, while Congress continued to keep theirs low.
"I doubt you could find a comparable situation where the president doesn't order the flag flown at half-mast until the funeral," said John Lawrence, history professor at the University of California's Washington Center to Reuters.
"The disparity between the Congress and White House policy is obviously noticeable and somewhat shocking."
On Monday, the flags returned to half staff along with a statement from Trump that struck a more conciliatory note after hours of pressure from veteran's groups.
"Despite our differences on policy and politics, I respect Senator John McCain's service to our country and, in his honor, have signed a proclamation to fly the flag of the United States at half-staff until the day of his interment," the statement said.
In his death, McCain left a hole in Congress and the fabric of American public life, as well as a vision of how the country can recover from political divisiveness.
From McCain:
"We are three hundred and twenty five million opinionated, vociferous individuals. We argue and compete and sometimes even vilify each other in our raucous public debates. But we have always had so much more in common with each other than in disagreement. If only we remember that and give each other the benefit of the presumption that we all love our country we will get through these challenging times. We will come through them stronger than before. We always do."
Read McCain's full farewell below:
"My fellow Americans, whom I have gratefully served for sixty years, and especially my fellow Arizonans.
"Thank you for the privilege of serving you and for the rewarding life that service in uniform and in public office has allowed me to lead. I have tried to serve our country honorably. I have made mistakes, but I hope my love for America will be weighed favorably against them.
"I have often observed that I am the luckiest person on earth. I feel that way even now as I prepare for the end of my life. I have loved my life, all of it. I have had experiences, adventures and friendships enough for ten satisfying lives, and I am so thankful. Like most people, I have regrets. But I would not trade a day of my life, in good or bad times, for the best day of anyone else’s.
"I owe that satisfaction to the love of my family. No man ever had a more loving wife or children he was prouder of than I am of mine. And I owe it to America. To be connected to America’s causes – liberty, equal justice, respect for the dignity of all people – brings happiness more sublime than life’s fleeting pleasures. Our identities and sense of worth are not circumscribed but enlarged by serving good causes bigger than ourselves.
"'Fellow Americans' – that association has meant more to me than any other. I lived and died a proud American. We are citizens of the world’s greatest republic, a nation of ideals, not blood and soil. We are blessed and are a blessing to humanity when we uphold and advance those ideals at home and in the world. We have helped liberate more people from tyranny and poverty than ever before in history. We have acquired great wealth and power in the process.
"We weaken our greatness when we confuse our patriotism with tribal rivalries that have sown resentment and hatred and violence in all the corners of the globe. We weaken it when we hide behind walls, rather than tear them down, when we doubt the power of our ideals, rather than trust them to be the great force for change they have always been.
"We are three hundred and twenty five million opinionated, vociferous individuals. We argue and compete and sometimes even vilify each other in our raucous public debates. But we have always had so much more in common with each other than in disagreement. If only we remember that and give each other the benefit of the presumption that we all love our country we will get through these challenging times. We will come through them stronger than before. We always do.
"Ten years ago, I had the privilege to concede defeat in the election for president. I want to end my farewell to you with the heartfelt faith in Americans that I felt so powerfully that evening.
"I feel it powerfully still.
"Do not despair of our present difficulties but believe always in the promise and greatness of America, because nothing is inevitable here. Americans never quit. We never surrender. We never hide from history. We make history.
"Farewell, fellow Americans. God bless you, and God bless America."

If only we remember that and give each other the benefit of the presumption that we all love our country we will get through these challenging times. We will come through them stronger than before. We always do."
Read McCain's full farewell below:
"My fellow Americans, whom I have gratefully served for sixty years, and especially my fellow Arizonans.
"Thank you for the privilege of serving you and for the rewarding life that service in uniform and in public office has allowed me to lead. I have tried to serve our country honorably. I have made mistakes, but I hope my love for America will be weighed favorably against them.
"I have often observed that I am the luckiest person on earth. I feel that way even now as I prepare for the end of my life. I have loved my life, all of it. I have had experiences, adventures and friendships enough for ten satisfying lives, and I am so thankful. Like most people, I have regrets. But I would not trade a day of my life, in good or bad times, for the best day of anyone else’s.
"I owe that satisfaction to the love of my family. No man ever had a more loving wife or children he was prouder of than I am of mine. And I owe it to America. To be connected to America’s causes – liberty, equal justice, respect for the dignity of all people – brings happiness more sublime than life’s fleeting pleasures. Our identities and sense of worth are not circumscribed but enlarged by serving good causes bigger than ourselves.
"'Fellow Americans' – that association has meant more to me than any other. I lived and died a proud American. We are citizens of the world’s greatest republic, a nation of ideals, not blood and soil. We are blessed and are a blessing to humanity when we uphold and advance those ideals at home and in the world. We have helped liberate more people from tyranny and poverty than ever before in history. We have acquired great wealth and power in the process.
"We weaken our greatness when we confuse our patriotism with tribal rivalries that have sown resentment and hatred and violence in all the corners of the globe. We weaken it when we hide behind walls, rather than tear them down, when we doubt the power of our ideals, rather than trust them to be the great force for change they have always been.
"We are three hundred and twenty five million opinionated, vociferous individuals. We argue and compete and sometimes even vilify each other in our raucous public debates. But we have always had so much more in common with each other than in disagreement. If only we remember that and give each other the benefit of the presumption that we all love our country we will get through these challenging times. We will come through them stronger than before. We always do.
"Ten years ago, I had the privilege to concede defeat in the election for president. I want to end my farewell to you with the heartfelt faith in Americans that I felt so powerfully that evening.
"I feel it powerfully still.
"Do not despair of our present difficulties but believe always in the promise and greatness of America, because nothing is inevitable here. Americans never quit. We never surrender. We never hide from history. We make history.
"Farewell, fellow Americans. God bless you, and God bless America."

Politics: Former presidents, congressional leaders, and the military commend John McCain's storied life and service
Former presidents, world leaders, and Congress mourned Sen. John McCain's passing and offered their condolences for his family.
Sen. John McCain died on Saturday, one day after his family announced he would be discontinuing his brain cancer treatment.
Former presidents, world leaders, and Congress mourned his passing and offered their condolences for his family.
Sen. John McCain died on Saturday, one day after his family announced he would be discontinuing his brain cancer treatment.
McCain, a six-term US senator, earned both praise and criticism during his long tenure. But despite political differences, he earned the respect from his colleagues for his storied military service and plain-spoken views.
Former presidents, world leaders, and Congress mourned his passing and offered their condolences for his family.
Here's what they had to say:
Former President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama
"John McCain and I were members of different generations, came from completely different backgrounds, and competed at the highest level of politics. But we shared, for all our differences, a fidelity to something higher – the ideals for which generations of Americans and immigrants alike have fought, marched, and sacrificed.
We saw our political battles, even, as a privilege, something noble, an opportunity to serve as stewards of those high ideals at home, and to advance them around the world. We saw this country as a place where anything is possible – and citizenship as our patriotic obligation to ensure it forever remains that way.
Few of us have been tested the way John once was, or required to show the kind of courage that he did. But all of us can aspire to the courage to put the greater good above our own. At John’s best, he showed us what that means. And for that, we are all in his debt. Michelle and I send our most heartfelt condolences to Cindy and their family."
Former President George W. Bush
"Some lives are so vivid, it is difficult to imagine them ended. Some voices are so vibrant, it is hard to think of them stilled. John McCain was a man of deep conviction and a patriot of the highest order.
He was a public servant in the finest traditions of our country. And to me, he was a friend whom I'll deeply miss.
Laura and I send our heartfelt sympathies to Cindy and the entire McCain family, and our thanks to God for the life of John McCain."
Former President Bill Clinton and former secretary of state and first lady Hillary Clinton
"Senator John McCain believed that every citizen has a responsibility to make something of the freedoms given by our Constitution, and from his heroic service in the Navy to his 35 years in Congress, he lived by his creed every day.
He was a skilled, tough politician, as well as a trusted colleague alongside whom Hillary was honored to serve in the Senate. He frequently put partisanship aside to do what he thought was best for the country, and was never afraid to break the mold if it was the right thing to do.
I will always be especially grateful for his leadership in our successful efforts to normalize relations with Vietnam. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Cindy, his mother, Roberta, his children, and his entire family."
Former President Jimmy Carter
"John McCain was a man of honor, a true patriot in the best sense of the word.
Americans will be forever grateful for his heroic military service and for his steadfast integrity as a member of the United States Senate.
Rosalynn and I extend our sincere condolences to Senator McCain's family and to the people of Arizona whom he represented so forthrightly for so many years."
President Donald Trump
"My deepest sympathies and respect go out to the family of Senator John McCain. Our hearts and prayers are with you!," Trump said on Twitter.
United States Naval Academy
"The Naval Academy is mourning the loss of one of our most distinguished graduates, Sen. John McCain (USNA '58)," the United States Naval Academy, McCain's alma mater, said on Twitter. "His life of service to our country is a legacy that will continue to be revered."
Sen. Lindsey Graham
"America and Freedom have lost one of her greatest champions," Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, one of McCain's closest friends, said on Twitter. "And I've lost one of my dearest friends and mentor."
"I will need some time to absorb this, but I want Cindy —and the entire McCain family — to know they are in my prayers," Graham added.
Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York
"As you go through life, you meet few truly great people. John McCain was one of them.
His dedication to his country and the military were unsurpassed, and maybe most of all, he was a truth teller - never afraid to speak truth to power in an era where that has become all too rare. The Senate, the United States, and the world are lesser places without John McCain.
Nothing will overcome the loss of Senator McCain, but so that generations remember him I will be introducing a resolution to rename the Russell building after him."
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell
"Today is a deeply sad day for the Senate and for our nation. Elaine and I join all Americans in mourning the passing of our dear friend and colleague Senator John McCain.
In an era filled with cynicism about national unity and public service, John McCain's life shone as a bright example. He showed us that boundless patriotism and self-sacrifice are not outdated concepts or clichés, but the building blocks of an extraordinary American life.
Generations of McCains have served in our great Navy. John followed their example with distinction. And from his cell in Hanoi to the halls of the Senate, he never stopped fighting with courage and determination – first for his country, then for the people of Arizona, and always for the ideals he believed in most.
It is fitting that this war hero and history-changing legislator should leave us as Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee. John was a constant advocate for his fellow veterans and those currently serving in uniform, standing up for the benefits and care they so earned by defending our freedom. His dedication to them is just one reason among so many why he earned the utmost respect of his colleagues on both sides of the aisle.
It's an understatement to say the Senate will not be the same without our friend John. I will treasure the many memories we've shared together through the years.
The nation mourns the loss of a great American patriot, a statesman who put his country first and enriched this institution through many years of service. The Senate is keeping Cindy, the McCain family, all John's friends and staff, and the people of Arizona in our prayers at this tremendously difficult time."
Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas
"Senator John McCain was a patriot, and an extraordinary American war hero.
Born into a storied Navy family, he spent his entire life in service to his country, including 22 years in the Navy, five and a half of which were spent under the boots of North Vietnamese communists in a Hanoi prison.
First elected to Congress during the Reagan Revolution, he championed the strong national defense that he knew would help ensure the survival of freedom and liberty across the globe. He did things his way, and conducted two campaigns for President of the United States with honor and integrity.
Today, the State of Arizona, and our entire nation, have lost a great public servant. He was larger than life. Although he and I sometimes disagreed, I was deeply privileged to serve with him and proud to call him a friend.
Heidi and I send our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to Cindy, and to the entire McCain family, as they grieve the loss of a loving husband, father, and grandfather. May he rest in peace."
Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida
"John McCain's sacrifices to his country are immeasurable. With his passing today, America has lost more than a leader and more than a senator. We have lost a true American hero.
As a colleague in the Senate and a friend, I drew personal inspiration from his leadership, intellect and moral courage. He set the standard for what we should expect from our soldiers and from our public servants of all levels.
In this time of grief, I hope John's family finds comfort in knowing that this extraordinary man touched countless lives, and his memory will continue to set the standard of leadership and moral resolve for future generations."

Politics: Kellyanne Conway and Chris Cuomo squeezed a week's worth of news into one wild 30 minute debate on CNN
For around 30 minutes (and without a commercial break), Cuomo and Conway found themselves sniping at each other comments as they discussed another week of media coverage on President Donald Trump's policies and remarks.
CNN host Chris Cuomo and White House counselor Kellyanne Conway traded verbal jabs at each other in a wild 30-minute interview on Thursday night.
Cuomo opened the interview with a primer on this week's avalanche of news, including court cases involving President Donald Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen.
Conway and Cuomo were soon sparring and, at points, talking over each other in a wild 30-minute interview.
CNN host Chris Cuomo and White House counselor Kellyanne Conway traded verbal jabs at each other in a wild 30-minute interview on Thursday night.
The two were set to discuss this week's avalanche of news, but the interview soon went off the rails.
"There's a little difference between you and me and the shop you're working for," Cuomo told Conway at one heated point during the interview.
"The White House?," Conway replied.
"Integrity," Cuomo said.
"How dare you," Conway shot back.
"How dare me?," Cuomo said.
At points, their discussion devolved into shouting matches, and sarcastic accusations of sexism. It ended with a friendly handshake.
The interview comes after a particularly tough few days for President Donald Trump, whose former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort was convicted by a jury on eight counts of bank and tax fraud, among other charges.
And Trump's former personal lawyer Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to multiple federal crimes and implicated Trump in two of them.
One of those crimes involved a $130,000 payment Cohen said he made "at the direction" of Trump made just before the 2016 election to keep the porn star Stormy Daniels quiet about a sexual relationship she said she had with Trump.
Cohen's account conflicted with Trump's and the White House's previous statements on the hush-money payment, which led The Washington Post to call the statements a "lie" in its fact-checking analyses.
That fact wasn't lost on Cuomo, who flatly referred to Trump's remarks on the payment "a lie."
But Conway deflected the accusation and steered Cuomo's interview towards other subjects — talking points that echoed the White House's criticism against media outlets, including CNN.
Allegations of Russian collusion by the Trump campaign:
CONWAY: "Where is that? You've spent so much sweat equity, invested in so many screaming graphics and time, and experts talking about everything from impeachment to collusion."
CUOMO: "You got to ask Mueller, he's not done with his investigation," Cuomo said, referring to special counsel Robert Mueller.
CONWAY: "No, let's be fair. You weren't waiting for Mueller. CNN is not, respectfully, [waiting] for Bob Mueller to finish his investigation. Because you've been talking about collusion and been promising it to your viewers."
CUOMO: "Never, literally not once."
Cuomo went on to describe Conway's portrayal of CNN as "patently untrue."
CUOMO: "We don't promise the audience an outcome. We tell them that you have to respect the process."
CONWAY: "I don't want your viewers to, and I know your viewers expect to be fed anti-Trump virulence every single night. And they come away quite satisfied."
Criticism of CNN's coverage of Trump:
CONWAY: "You know [CNN's] audience doesn't trust the White House. Because all day long, on your network, all they hear is how terrible we all are. That we lack integrity. That we lie."
CONWAY: "Which word do you think has been mentioned more on CNN? Collusion? Fentanyl? Impeachment? What do you think is mentioned more on CNN? 29,000 people died last year in this country because ... of Fentanyl."
CUOMO: "It all matters. It all matters."
CONWAY: "Zero died because of impeachment. Zero died because of collusion. Zero died because of the word 'lying.'"
CUOMO: "That's not the bar of presidential behavior. So here's what you're saying — so, if the economy's good, then you can lie whenever you want. You can divide the country any way you want. You can play to racist sympathies whenever you want. But it's o.k. because the stock markets up."
That one tweet:
CONWAY: "Secretary of state Mike Pompeo going back to North Korea again because they're trying to denuclearize ... "
CUOMO: "Was he going there before or after he goes to South Africa to help out those white farmers?"
CONWAY: "Christopher, come on. Be serious."
Cuomo referred to Trump's late-night tweet on Wednesday which said he directed Pompeo to "closely study the South Africa land and farm seizures and expropriations and the large scale killing of farmers."
Trump appeared to allude to a conspiracy theory and dog whistle for racist and white nationalists — a conspiracy based on South Africa's post-apartheid land reform which suggests white farmers were being killed. Studies have reportedly shown, however, that the killing of white farmers in South Africa have been at a 20-year low.
On domestic politics:
Conway criticized CNN's coverage of the death of 20-year-old college student Mollie Tibbetts, which coincided with the convictions of Manafort and Cohen on Tuesday. The network did provide coverage on Tibbetts' death and the arrest of her suspected murderer, but dedicated the vast majority of airtime to updates from Cohen's and Manafort's trial.
CNN's coverage on the trials is contrasted by Fox News, which dedicated the majority of their airtime for Tibbetts' death. Fox News has since been accused of downplaying the significance of convicting Trump's former associates, and fueling his warpath against undocumented immigrants.
CONWAY: "There was wall-to-wall coverage about a missing woman in Iowa until she was found, and God rest her soul, and then ..."
CUOMO: "God rest her soul? You're not letting her soul rest. You're waving her like a flag ... 'if you're not with us about immigrants, then you don't care about Mollie Tibbetts.'"
CONWAY: "How dare you. How dare you."
Conway also took a shot at the NFL protests — a non-violent demonstration of players who protest police misconduct and gun violence — which Trump has continued to criticize in numerous campaign speeches.
CONWAY: "Do you do this when they play the national anthem?," Conway asked as she placed her hand over her heart." "Or don't you, yes or no?"
CUOMO: "I do."
CONWAY: "Ok, why?"
CUOMO: "Because it's my damn choice, that's why. Because it's my damn choice. Because I'm an American and I'll exercise my freedom the way I want to if it doesn't hurt anybody else. And that's what they're doing to."
Cuomo later fired back at Conway by referring to a crude comment Trump made in reference to the protestors. At a campaign rally in September, Trump described the protestors as a "son of a bitch," and told them to get off the playing field.
CUOMO: "You know what's also great? Not calling them sons of bitches. That's also great."
CONWAY: "Who?"
CUOMO: "People of color."
CONWAY: "Oh, stop it, Christopher."
Cuomo vs. Conway
CONWAY: "You were a world class journalist who used to go to plane crash sites and cover war."
CUOMO: "I go now. I was in Helsinki and saw one of the most embarrassing things I've ever seen in my life," Cuomo said, referring to the location of Trump's summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in July.
Following the summit, Trump was criticized for stopping short of condemning Russia's meddling in the 2016 US election and appeared to hold reservations against US intelligence reports that revealed Russia's interference.
CUOMO: "It was really embarrassing."
Amid the back-and-forth, and on at least two occasions, Conway appeared to joke that Cuomo was mansplaining or manterruptting her: "I think it's kind of sexist the way you're conducting this interview ... What is it about powerful, articulate women on TV that bother you as guests?"
CUOMO: "I gave you more time than anyone else would."
CONWAY: "No, you gave yourself a lot of time because you talked pretty much the entire time."
CUOMO: "I don't think that's true, I'll give you a word count at the end."
CONWAY: "Well, the guest should have many more words. You know that."
CUOMO: "No, I don't."

CUOMO: "Because it's my damn choice, that's why. Because it's my damn choice. Because I'm an American and I'll exercise my freedom the way I want to if it doesn't hurt anybody else. And that's what they're doing to."
Cuomo later fired back at Conway by referring to a crude comment Trump made in reference to the protestors. At a campaign rally in September, Trump described the protestors as a "son of a bitch," and told them to get off the playing field.
CUOMO: "You know what's also great? Not calling them sons of bitches. That's also great."
CONWAY: "Who?"
CUOMO: "People of color."
CONWAY: "Oh, stop it, Christopher."
Cuomo vs. Conway
CONWAY: "You were a world class journalist who used to go to plane crash sites and cover war."
CUOMO: "I go now. I was in Helsinki and saw one of the most embarrassing things I've ever seen in my life," Cuomo said, referring to the location of Trump's summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in July.
Following the summit, Trump was criticized for stopping short of condemning Russia's meddling in the 2016 US election and appeared to hold reservations against US intelligence reports that revealed Russia's interference.
CUOMO: "It was really embarrassing."
Amid the back-and-forth, and on at least two occasions, Conway appeared to joke that Cuomo was mansplaining or manterruptting her: "I think it's kind of sexist the way you're conducting this interview ... What is it about powerful, articulate women on TV that bother you as guests?"
CUOMO: "I gave you more time than anyone else would."
CONWAY: "No, you gave yourself a lot of time because you talked pretty much the entire time."
CUOMO: "I don't think that's true, I'll give you a word count at the end."
CONWAY: "Well, the guest should have many more words. You know that."
CUOMO: "No, I don't."
