Kid's Note BS

 President Biden did some chat deal with this letter from some kid (probably in the 5-to-6 year old range)....talking about unfair wages between men and women.

I watched the White House 'con' and kinda laughed.

I will admit some kid wrote it, but I would imagine they copied it from mom's notes.

This being something you drag up for adult consumption?  No.

Seven Observations

 1.  At the end of 2020, you could buy SVB bank stock at $400 a share (up from 2016's $100 a share).  By the 3rd quarter of 2021.....it was nearing $700 a share.  Then it started dropping month by month.  January of this year.....$250 to $300 a share....a massive drop.

They had to be enticing people from 2016 on, and those with shares in the SVB stock....are screwed today....royally.

2.  At some point, Antifa is going to be on some terror list given to the FBI, and a lot of people who hold college debt/school jobs....are going to be dumped into a fed prison visit for a couple of years....with no ability to ever pay their debt.

3.  In an average week....there must be ten occasions now that I see President Biden in a confused state of mind.  

4.  Apparently, three of the wineries that Governor Gavin Newsom (California) owned.....had their business accounts with SVB.  Up to $250,000 each....they are covered.  Beyond that?  

5.  Blaming Trump for SVB financial crisis?  The new WH has had two years to correct all mistakes....so it's hard to drag this out and BS that you couldn't figure out the screw-up here.

6.  Lot of optimistic chatter about Senator Fetterman returning to 'full-power' in two weeks.  Basically, with his past stroke....you can figure he has about three to six weeks of limited work upon the 'return'....then falling back to a hospitalization episode.  He'll repeat this at least two more times in 2023.

7.  My advice on how to watch President Biden?  Try to find a channel with a deaf 'hand-speaker' and watch for the confused facial expressions as they try to 'explain' things.

The 'Mute' Reality

 "If Liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear."

(It's a somewhat fake quote).

Some people will argue that the quote came from George Orwell....when he tried to market 'Animal Farm'....finding almost no publisher willing to handle it.  Some revisions occurred, and this quote got 'cut'.  Years later, it would be found in text of the original document.

It's a quote that probably bothers people a good bit....when thrown out in a discussion.  

Is there a limit?  I would suggest that everyone has a list of things they'd rather not listen to or hear a lecture on.

My list?  I'd rather not have to listen to Joe Biden speak at length (60 seconds is probably my limit).  I'd rather not have to hear a 30-minute podcast over Bigfoot.  I'd rather avoid having three PhD types discuss Quantum physics.  I'd rather not sit at a diner....having breakfast, and have two ladies sitting there and talking over their failed marriages.  

I'm often critical of the 'con' situation...where I'm getting BS at a top level....where some Jesus political figure is selling his 'con'.  I can see the past dozen Presidents in this way.  

I've worked with people who had zero trust in US government doing the 'right-thing'......oddly, while still employed by the federal government.   They really didn't want to hear the BS story that was supposed to whip them up in a frenzy and get hyped up about the new path.

Did Orwell have a point about this quote?  I would imagine while sitting in some pub in the 1920s....he probably came to this reality.  But in this case....if you didn't want to engage with Orwell at the pub....you'd just take your glass to another table, or just walk out of the pub.  It wasn't a case where we needed Lincoln debating Jefferson.  

Life is crappy around the edges....no matter how much chatter goes on.  It's just that we want to hear certain things, and would prefer to 'mute' the lesser of the list. 

Woke Story

 I sat this AM and watched a 10-minute podcast where someone (moderator) was asking a trans-woman to define woke.

What followed....was about a two-minute frame of the trans-woman stumbling around, and being unable to define it.  Yeah, it resembled what a 9-year old kid would say about nuclear energy, or what a 40-year old non-intellectual would say about disk brakes.  

The general problem is that people have reached a new stage in life where the explanation will be deemed 'reckless' or 'ill-advised'.....meaning you can't utter the explanation without making pro-woke people look like idiots.  So the best advice here....if asked to define woke, you need to pull out a bottle of whiskey....toss back ten shots as quickly as possible, and say you aren't in shape to think along these lines.

The fact that we now have outsiders and insiders to the woke discussion....with the realization that reality is too amusing to handle? Well.....yeah, that is noticeable now.

Are there yearly changes to woke?  I think as early as 2010.....you could assign a definition, and as you advanced every other year (2012, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2020, and 2022).....you would need to sit....pausing over the term.

That this started off in some positive trend?  Some people suggest that.

Is woke a fad to end one day?  I'm probably of the belief that it will trend out at some point.  

About That Alien Chatter

 If you go and review the news this AM....there is this new research paper written by some guy (probably a PhD contractor) in the Pentagon's All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office.  

Topic?  They suggest that a 'alien' mothership is resting somewhere in our area of the universe, and they use smaller 'pod' shops to bring Zorg and his associates over to see the Earth.

BS?  The problem here....it's just a scientific 'guess'....which the Pentagon folks are sitting and thinking over.

I sat and pondered over this.  To be honest, I've been on this subject in a serious thinking level for a decade.

I have no doubt that visitations have occurred, and multiple cultures have come and checked out things on Earth.  

It wouldn't even shock me that Earth has been used as a 'vacation' spot for alien cultures to arrive and spend a month or two....in some relaxed 'west-world-like' situation.

If you were highly advanced (say 10,000 years ahead of Earth).....you might get a thrill off eating Papa John's pizza, watching episodes of Baywatch, or listening to Bee Gee's music.  

Hiding a mother-ship?  You could easily park such a ship on the far side of the moon....since it doesn't rotate.  Or you could park it on the hidden side of Mars.

The question is.....is this starting to bother White House people?  I'm not talking about Joe Biden....I mean the next forty people around him.

Just weird stuff, but it's to the point now that you have to start accepting 50-percent of this chatter probably is not a conspiracy or fake story.
