Hello PoliTalker,
Some people find it difficult to compose a single post without mentioning Trump. Has he bewitched you?

These are the most useful on my bookshelves in English, but they are out-dated because they don't deal with the establishment of our Senedd as the nucleus of independence:
John Davies: A History of Wales (Penguin 1993). Sort of standard, but playing it safe with the English Establishment and a bit full of place-names.
Gwyn A. Williams: When was Wales? (Penguin 1985). This is about the best I know of. An able historiasn who can think for himself.
On the literary front, I suppose we're stuck with T, Parry'a 'A History of Welsh Literature' (Clarendon Press, 1955, trans H. Idris Bell), but I don't reckon it much: it's very out-dated, and the translations are all 'poetical' thees and thous. That's true for Lady Charlotte Guest's Mabinogion too. The best in that line I have to hand - on Kindle - is Patrick E. Ford: The Mabinogi and Other Mediaeval Welsh Tales.
The problem is that the good stuff is in our language, and the English are not interested in us natives! There are complex reasons for this dating back to their early desire to please German-speaking mercenaries who took over the east. I can be quite boring about that.
Incidentally, I got the parentage of the original Dylan wrong - he was the son of Aranrhod, sister of the animal couple I mentioned, whose original fortress was the Milky Way, Caer Aranrhod, but in the story has shrunk to a place in Gwydedd. Another of her sons might be of indirect interest to you: for reasons I won't get into she swore he should have no name, never bear arms or marry any woman born of any people on earth. Her brother Gwydion tricks her into naming the boy Lleu Llaw Gyffes and into arming him, and eventually the High God figure, Math, helps Gwydion create a wife for him out of flowers. She is Blodeuedd. Unfortunately she doesn't really fancy him, takes a lover and has that man try to kill him. The reason you might be interested is that she ends the story changed into the Owl!

The best purpose a book about Wales can serve is to be a way to get a fire started.

Hello CO,
It would be fabulous to have life without Trump constantly in your face, wouldn't it?
I am so tired of turning on the news. Ever since Trump took office is always starts the same way.
"In the news today, President Trump ... "
It's ALWAYS about him. He is the most attention-demanding insecure baby-like President we have ever had. If he doesn't lead the headlines he has withdrawals.
If it isn't about him he is going to tweet something stupid or shocking to MAKE IT about him.
The most media-dependent President EVER.

Awesome, thanks. I am definitely interested in the ancient mythology; Mr. Owl not so much. I'll check out the Williams book for him.
Is the Welsh language akin in any way to the Gaelic spoken elsewhere in GB?

He is definitely the most attention-whorish POTUS we've ever had, by a mile. Don't you think it's kind of amusing how he has spent literally decades thrusting himself into the public eye by courting the media, and now pretends to hate them because they don't sing his praises while strumming their harps?

And I'm the one that jaded you.
This guy reminds me of exactly what PMP mentioned. Of course, I've never seen a bot write this bad. WTF is he feeding into it?

While I can and do agree with some of the video such as the scam of the evangelical big money God business. Where I do disagree with the speaker on the video is his progressive pro-communist radical political partisanism and outrageous over the top hatred of the President Of The United States. I believe Donald J. Trump is no more than a fraction of the sexual sinner your spokesperson accuses him of being and none of the corrupt political accusations fit Trump at all in my opinion.
But all of that being aside, my argument is with the title of the thread that encourages and in fact demands a denouncing of literal biblical interpretation. Your spokesperson demands a disbelief in scripture he has absolutely no way of proving incorrect, wrong or without merit.
I think your video actor is simply a leftist neo-communist progressive who’s flipped his radical interest from one form of radicalism to the exact opposite radical interest. I think he traded the radical stupidity and corrupt culture and religious God Money scam to a political radical corrupt culture of leftist scams and lies, simply proving only he has a radical and corrupt personality.
I've never reported anyone, I was never one who thought much of squealers, I'm not about to become one.
If he gets away with it, he gets away with it, but I assume the mods haven't seen it, he's still here.

In this USA Christian Nation Evangelicals foisting Islamophobia pedophilia as the national religion is a good example of suicidal Christiananality super ego Islamidiotocracy.
Salty, you need a hobby...perhaps English composition and syntax?

You are right; it is all about Trump. He is good for ratings. Trump fatigue could work either way for Trump. People could decide that we have had enough of him, or that we have had enough of his detractors talking about every little thing he does.
Ultimately, we may find that hating Trump is no substitute for having a real platform. I suppose that I could argue about your last sentence. It seems to me that the media is more dependent on him. He has been in the media spotlight for about forty years.
What about knowing books about Wales have no value has to do with race?

Hello CO,
It is all he knows how to do. During 911 he got in front of a camera and claimed he had 100 workers helping to search for victims. Then he said he was 'bringing in another 125 workers.'
There are no records of any payments. There is not one single person who has ever admitted to working for Mr. Trump in this capacity. He has provided no names. There was no follow up, no stories about how his 'workers' accomplished one single thing. And it really sounds kind of not credible, anyway. How does he get exactly 100 workers, no more, no less? Or 125 more, no more, no less? Why would people who were available to carry out that work not simply go there and do it without being paid? Where did they come from? Where was Trump 'bringing them in' from?
What it really looks like was just another Trump publicity stunt. Taking advantage of all the cameras to get his name and face on TV.
Just like he has always done.
He just wants recognition. He can never get enough attention. That's because his father was a workaholic who never had time for his kids.
