Three Humble Thoughts

 1.  About a year ago....Iran got all worried about Mossad (the Israeli Secret Service) operating in Iran.

So the Army ordered a special unit created and run by one Iranian (who seemed at the time to be the most Jew-hating guy around).

Well....recently, he walked away (disappeared)...they finally came to realize this guy in charge of hunting Jewish infiltration into Iran....was working for Mossad.

Kinda funny....if you think about it.

2.  Haiti is now demanding repatriations.....mostly from the world.

Not sure how they would receive the money, or if they know how to really rebuild.  I guess they could ask the Clinton Foundation to come back in...receive the funds, and help fix problems.

3.  On this Vance/Walz debate.....I'm getting this bad feeling that Walz will stumble around for an hour, and we come to realize he's not that bright.  Maybe the moderators can take down Vance.  

Ten Things I Do Now....That I Didn't Do In 2023

 1.  I assess people on IQ level....3 stages: superior intelligence, average, dimwit.  I'll just admit it....about 40-percent of the experts I see on CNN these days....rise to dimwit level.

2.  Getting off a train or bus....I use alcohol 'wipe' to sanitize.

3.  I mute at least 30 minutes out of the day....when watching TV news.

4.  I try hard to listen to Joe Biden....assessing his loss of cognitive ability.  The 2024 level of dementia is probably twice the 2023 level.

5.  When Kamala Harris does speak on economics....I continually now assess what she's really saying.  It starts to sound like a 9-year old kid.....talking off a cue-card.

6.  When I do stop in a ice-cream shop....I gravitate toward the menu-card and cost level.  I admit....I eat smaller portions of ice cream...because of pricing.

7.  I actively pay attention to UFO/UAP stories now....while marginally doing so in 2023.

8.  I continually assess people on how chatty they are on politics, and they want to propagandize me.

9.  I analyze acts of respect, and loss of respect in society.

10.  I seem to notice 'stage-shows' more with politicians showing up in grocery stores, bars, hospitals, and schools.....and it's not a positive feeling that I have.

Two-Tier Chatter

 Yesterday, I sat and watched a interview of a police-chief....from a small town outside of Springfield, Ohio (yeah, that Haitian topic).   

So he got into this odd observation....if you drive through his town and violate the driving code....he issues a ticket for a misdemeanor.   He notes that in Springfield (from his talks wih police there)...a normal Springfield resident would get a driving code tick (misdemeanor), but if you were Haitian....just a warning.  Yeah, it's called two-tier policing.  Reason?  Normally, with two convictions on misdemeanors....your application for residency or citizenship....is suspended.

If you were in serious trouble, for a felony?  Well...under the two-tier system, if you were Haitian....I would imagine that  the DA/Prosecutor....would drop the case for lack of evidence.

So you imagine x-state existing....having a hundred felony actions per day called in, and a quarter of them done by non-Americans.  The crimes would just disappear and never be a collected statistic....if the DA folks did their duty to overlook the non-Americans.

What does this say about the legal system?  It's failed....in more ways than one.

Do any of the statically-collected numbers in the 50 states make sense?  No. You can throw all of them out.

After a while, if the non-Americans grasped the situation....why bother obeying any law....two-tier living protects you.

Something That You Notice

 

So, what the Justice Department fails to mention in this press release....what Alabama did....was to remove around 3,000 names from the state voting list...of people that they confirmed (using the fed's own listing)....people who are NOT American citizens.

Alabama could have made a effort to remove dead people from the voting list, and that would have gotten fed-court action as well....but it seems that there weren't any dead folks listed.

Why all this effort to get non-Americans accidentally on voting lists?  This ought to be the chief question to be asked.

In theory, if the numbers are correct....there's around 20-odd million non-Americans in the US now, and one might speculate that you might be able to get them all listed and add 20-million votes.  

All of this getting people disturbed?  That's the funny angle to the whole discussion. I would imagine one out of every three Democrats are discussing the matter at the table, in the church, or at work.  

This game only working if you provide 'shelter' to the non-Americans?  Well...yeah, that is the single most odd part of the story.  If you stopped food and shelter money....the system would collapse in a matter of a hundred days.

This Soros Purchase of 200-Plus Radio Stations

 I sat last night to review this hyped-up story of Soros buying 200-plus radio stations and the rapid approval to allow this to occur.  So some things:

1.  It is near 235 stations total....owned presenty by Audacy (the company).

2.  Over the past decade...Audacy had some profitable years, then some lean years (meaning marginal income).  Last year, they pieced together a recovery year....oddly getting Soro's team interested.  Whether the profit can continue....unknown.

3.  These stations are NOT in all 50 states....they are mostly bunched up in 45 media markets (urbanized zones) across the US.

4.  In the whole state of Arizona.....ONLY three stations belong to Audacy....all in the Phoenix area.  The three?  Adult contemporary music, C&W, and classic hits.

5.  Any in Alabama or Mississippi?  No.

6.  Talk radio or news format in the 45 markets?  I counted a total of around 30 stations....however, some of these were multi situations....where you had a talk-radio station in one town, with a news-format station in the same town.

7.  Spanish stations?  Fewer than ten in the deal.  One is a conservative-talk radio station in Miami.

8.  Problem in the future?  Spotify has taken over a lot of younger listeners, along with podcasts....meaning the internet is delivering their product....NOT the radio network.

9.  If Soros were to delete conservative talk-radio?  Some competitor would wise-up....see a chance to take market-share, and bring some downfall to the Soros strategy.

10.  On being a wise-investment choice?  I don't see the Soros team having a understanding of what they bought, and how it's connected to the general public.

11. General business wisdom?  You generally buy something that provides an income.  Competing against Spotify and podcasts?  You have to be aggressive....I don't see these guys in a 'win-win' scenario.  I'm predicting in two years....a 'chunk' of the 200-plus stations will be sold off (probably the music and news stations). 

12.  The speed of approval over the deal?  I have doubts that the profit for 2024 looks that great, and Audacy didn't want Soro's team figuring out it was a short-lived profit period.  

So I end this analysis with this thought.....Soros had money to waste, and some bright sales people convinced them the deal was worth the effort.  In six months....I suspect the profit situation will be listed as marginal and the heavy-handed way of dragging talk-radio to some center-point or left-point....will have failed....triggering even lesser profit.  As they piece together deals to sell off stations....what will remain?  Strictly talk-radio and Spanish-language stations.  

Added note....it's just odd, no one seems to have analyzed the make-up of the stations.....all public information, and the profit discussion has been going on for two years.  

Things I Now Identify As

 1.  Even though I'm about to be 66 years old....I now identify as a permanent 34-year old guy.

2.  I've decided to identify as Cherokee, Danish, Roman, and Celtic.

3.  I'm going to identify as a New York Yankees 3rd baseman. 

4.  I'm going to identify as a Baywatch TV show life-guard....even though I can't swim.

5.  On Thursdays, I'm going to identify as being 'invisible'....you won't be able to see me.

6.  At  least two days a year, I will identify as maximum paranoid shizophrenic....at the 5-star crazy-crazy level.  

7.  On Sundays, I will be identifying as Moses....complete with sandals.

8.  On the third Monday of each month, I will identify as Joe-Biden-fog-brained....mostly to see if anyone notices.

9.  I will identify as an 'CNN-expert' in hopes of getting hired-up and make some 'real' money.

10.  I will reassess myself weekly, and identify as needed.   So I might have 600 identities per year.

Six Humble Thoughts

 1. I sat and watched the 24-minute interview of  Kamala Harris and MSNBC.  Two observations:  Harris really needs to avoid all taxation/economic questions.....zero sense or understanding.  Second, she was less goofy than normal (I'm not saying zero goofy.....just less goofy).

I think even 12-year old kids now realize her goofy-factor.   

2.  What this ports-strike chatter is all about?  Well....the port-workers have come to realize that modernization is finally coming....with robotics involved, and some of their work is going to disappear.  So the strike is mostly about preventing modernization (yeah, pretty odd strategy).

3.  This Mayor arrest in NY City to occur?  It'll happen next week where he turns himself  in.  Evidence?  He took bribes and the feds can prove this angle (the hint in the media is $10-million....whether true or not, unknown). 

The odd thing?  The mayor had been complaining for months about the lack of fed-money to cover hotels for migrants.  So Biden/Harris had a meeting scheduled with the Mayor....but just an hour or two prior to this DC meeting....the Feds raided the Mayor's house....so he departed DC without the meeting.

Other odd side-story?  Well....the Turks who were bribing....wanted jobs within the Mayor's 'team'.  No one says what they were planning to accomplish there.

4.  Some kind of 'tip-line' set up in Michigan....for kids to call in and report their parents for not having their guns secured.

Just thinking.....some parents are about dump their kids into the Michigan social system, and the kids might be shocked how crappy things turn out to be.

5.  There's speculation that Bill Gates is about to toss big BUCKS into a climate agenda....aimed at using news organizations as the propaganda unit.

Likely outcome?  Quicker demise of news sources for 2025/2026.  If you were stupid to be in college and working on a journalism degree....you might want to rethink your life strategy.  

6.  Science report....200 different cancer-causing chemicals found in food packaging.  All aimed at trigger higher rates of breast cancer.

Just motivates people to buy food NOT in a plastic package.

Sometimes, I Think About Perceptions

 

For 30 years, I've been a faithful 'addict' of Windex.  Working at various offices....I always had a bottle and paper towels around.

I looked at this comparison today.

Yeah, it's just odd....whoever design blue Mountain Dew....it is the same exact 'tint' as Windex.

Just odd.

Kids and Politics Chatter

 I sat and watched a CNN segment (admitting I still 'force' myself to get doses of slanted news), but this ended up being an odd story.

So CNN went and asked what I perceived to be 11-year old kids....how they felt about Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

Odd question, and there is virtually NO value in the 'product'.

However, the kids gave blunt prospectives of both.....which made for an interesting segment.

As a kid in 1969 (when I was eleven)....if you'd asked the class who was president....I doubt if 50-percent could have answered the question.  If you'd asked me over my prospective of Nixon?  I would have answered he's the President, and gave no insight or plus/minus of the guy.

So you gaze at society and the news media.....what has changed over 55 years?  Well....there's just a lot of propaganda today, and even 11-year old kids recognize this factor.

If I had a household and three kids today?  I'd have to filter out news or constantly remind the kids that being skeptical is a worthily talent.

Here's the final observation.....in seven years, as these kids start to reach voting age.  They will have ZERO trust in the news media, and refuse to accept any propaganda.  How things will work then?  It just makes me wonder if CNN will be around. 

Five Humble Thoughts On The Path Of Kamala Harris To The Presidency

 1.  You could write ten questions for an interview....hand them to Kamala, with the suggested answers, and a week later....she'd stumble her way through the Q-and-A, giving almost no clear answer.  It just begs the question....how she ever got through college.

2.  I think Joe Biden knew she was this 'lost' and this pick of her.....was revenge upon the Pelosi/Obama crowd for forcing him out of the race.

3.  She's medicated on 'something'.

4.  No, she does not own a pistol or ever fired a pistol (my humble belief).

5.  I just don't think she has any real lawyer skills....whatsoever. 

College Chatter

 

Back in 2011, I worked with a guy who had a 18-year old daughter...about to finish high school, and had been accepted to James Mason (a prestigious university in Virginia).

There was one issue....it was contingent that she come in on a Saturday and take two tests....English grammar and math assessment.

Dad drove her over.  She tested, and the scores were figured shortly after that....with a face-to-face meeting with a school official set for two hours later.

So here's the end of the story.

The girl....who had remarkable grades for the final four years of school....failed both tests.  Her dad sat there in disbelief and asked how.

College official pointed out....the last math course she took in high school....was in the 10th grade.  In both the 11th and 12th grade....she took mostly science-related courses. 

Looking at her accomplishments in English grammar.....the last plain grammar class she took....was in the 9th grade.  She had taken French literature, romance novels, and a poetry-related class....for the 10th, 11th and 12th grade.

What all of this meant?  The college official said she'd have to take a regular high-school-level math and English class in the first year at the college....with zero college credit.  Cost factor?  Around $350 for each class.  Ability to finish school in four years?  Pretty much crapped out, unless she took a summer period as a add-on.

This guy and I talked over the outcome.....total waste of time, of which we both agreed.

So I asked.....if you'd known of this problem....would you have taken her to some tutor for a weekend to  prep for the two stupid tests?  OH YEAH was the response.....guessing it would have cost $500 for a max-knowledge-dump.   

All of this makes me wonder....just how many kids are showing up and can't function at 12th-grade high school level?   A quarter of the folks?  More?

What Really Happens in 2025 If 30,000 Trump-Haters Have To Leave The US?

 I've actually wasted a few hours over 2024 thinking about this issue.

So, in my mind.....of the 30-odd thousand folks who seem to be talking about this....I think that ONLY two out of three will carry this.  I know....you've been told otherwise, but I think some people are just bluffing.

Of the twenty thousand leaving?  I think around 50-percent will try to find a new-life in the UK....the rest will split off to Panama, the Caribbean, Canada, and Dubai.

The folks in the UK?  I'll just say that about half of them discover things aren't that great....they hate the weather.....crime bothers them....and taxes are a pain.  Within a year.....half  of this crowd will give  up and return to the US.

Of the happiest group, who stay out permanently?  I think the Americans who arrive in Dubai...are the most likely to never return. 

Somewhere around 2027....most of the folks who left...will have quietly come back to the US, and admit it was a pretty harsh thing to undertake.  

The odd thing?  Most of us never even notice them leaving or coming back.

Approaching War

Is there a 'gang-war' about to start? 

If you preview newspapers around major urbanized areas of the US....there's been signs going on for two months now.

Yeah....the Tren de Aragua folks are organized and set up as a true American-style gang now.

The El Salvadorian, Haitian and normal black gangs?  They aren't prepared for this type of warfare.

The police in these cities?  Same story.

All of this leading to a major chaotic situation by the end of 2025?  Yeah, I would say that.

Sending them 'home'?  How?
 

Wrapped Up A Series

 Over the weekend, I finished up the seven-odd seasons of 'Mad Men'. Eight observations.

1.  Yeah, I admit....I'm a decade late (it started as a series in 2007 and ended in 2015).  There's various shows I just never caught (being overseas).

2.  This Dan-guy?  If you go by the show....he must have smoked two packs a day....consumed half-a-bottle of booze daily....and had sex with 300-odd women.

3.  As much as they claim it's a drama....for me...it was 25-percent humor, and a  fair  amount of 1960s fashion styles (stuff I admire).  That 1969 style was a five-star fashion.

4.  You need to push yourself through the first four episodes, and the series catches on 'fire' in early season two.

5.  Last season and ending?  It was a five-star last season, and one of the few times of a series that carried it's weight to the end.

6.  This Betsy-and-Glen dynamic?  Weirdest story-line, where the 12-year old Glen is giving Betsy (the mid-30s wife of the main character) all the signals of some hyped up and imagined romance.  

7.  The constant buy-out scenario for the company?  The theme comes up almost yearly in the episodes.

8.  You really need to watch an episode nightly to really get to the full understanding of the script.

If you have never watched 'Mad Men'...it's worth viewing.  

Q-and-A

 1.  What happens Sean 'Puff Diddy' in the end?

Presently with charges mounting (probably up to 100 years of prison)....he's trying to make a deal.  But I suspect his lawyer comes in each day after dropping another name/evidence and saying that helped to cut 4 weeks off the 100 years.  

In the end, he will end up in a suicide situation...in disbelief that giving evidence against 50 people simply got him down to 20 years of prison, at best.

2.  How does the Springfield mess end?

Well....in January (expecting Trump to win)....across the entire US....all of these vouchers will end.  This means housing help and hotel costs covered.....drops like a rock.  

I expect Trump to offer a one-way ticket home with a $500 check if you agree to board the jet to leave the US.  Most will leave.

3.  Do we have a problem in that a majority of Americans now believe they are intellectuals...because they watch CNN?

Well.....this is an odd scenario being played out.  Two hours of CNN....making a dumbass an intellectual....is NOT possible.

4.  Are tasers ineffective?

I've watched probably a hundred videos over the past decade of guys/gals getting 'juiced' by a taser.  About half react the right way...falling on the ground.  Other half....on some drug....just stand there grinning and scaring the crap out of the police officer.

It's always a 50-50 situation.

5.  Brits are discussing closing pubs early....to halt heavy-drinking in late hours.  Does that fix the problem?

A serious drinker would show up an hour earlier, and consume  booze faster....to make up for the lost hour or two.

6.  Do I regard Putin of Russia as a smart-guy?

He never had a plan-B.  At present, you can't rank Russia  in the top ten economies of the world, and I might not even rank them in the top twenty.

7.  Do I believe that sex-tapes of Kamala exist with Diddy?

Well.....yeah, but the real question is.....with who else in the tape?

8. Is it possible that aliens hang around Earth because they got nothing better to do?

You know....logically, losers like to hang out in highly urbanized areas of Europe and the US....because they got nothing better to do.  It's possible the aliens visiting....are just 'losers'.

Ten General Rules I'd Suggest In Life

1.  If it feels like indoctrination....it probably is a point you want to find the exit to the room and leave.

2.  There's good beer, and bad beer.  Don't waste time or thirst on crappy beer.

3.  If you are listening to a politician, and after three minutes....nothing much of what they say....makes sense, then mute the rest of the news piece.

4.  If your co-worker isn't married or has never been married....don't seek marriage advice from them.

5.  Some days....just a cup of coffee and a cupcake....will brighten your day.

6.  The quickest way to failure in life.....is just riding the 'wave' and never laying out your path or direction.

7.  Simple debt (say in the $10,000 range) is easy to pay-off.  Massive debt (beyond $50,000)....will drag you along for 10 to 20 years.

8.  If you make something into rocket-science....it's a 50-50 chance that it's not really pure rocket-science.

9.  If you are living in a ghetto-town or ghetto-neighborhood.....making no effort to leave....you must enjoy the lifestyle and trend.

10.  If no road-map exists for where you want to go in life.....make one.

Would It Bother You.....

 Would it bother you if an audit of 16-year-old kids in your local district revealed that a majority of them could only read at the age 11 level?

Would it bother you if a quarter of the people you bump into daily....can't pass a regular drug-test?

Would you feel bothered that VP Kamala Harris finally admits that she's never handled a pistol in her life?

Would it bother you if the Olive Garden folks finally admitted what they bring to your table....is NOT legit Italian food?

Would it pump you up if all of the cheapo-airline deals, for $7 more....offered you a free beer while waiting for the plane to load?

Are there any crime statistics existing in America that you TRUST completely?

Does it bother you that Harris talks one-quarter as much as Donald Trump, at these rallies?

If college students can't handle stress and pressure....are they in the wrong 'atmosphere'?

If Aliens Landed ttomorrow?

 1.  I expect the TV show....'The View'....to attempt to get one of them immediately on as a guest....only to discover that this alien group seems to be ultra right conservative and pro-Trump.

2.  About 24 hours into the visit.....someone eventually notices that they have a emblem on their suits that resembles a NAZI-symbiology.  People start to refer to the visitors as Nazis.

3.  CNN somehow finds more than 100 alien experts to help them analyze the prime-time story.

4.  Within the first month of the visit....we discover that the aliens are greatly amused by the 'Tom and Jerry' cartoons.

5.  We discover that the alien-folks have 15,000 different religions....none of which support killing or harming folks.

6.  Within 8 minutes of arrival....Kamala Harris campaign officials are trying to get an endorsement by the alien guests.

7.  Most people are shocked that the aliens are trendy on fashion, and they all want the latest that Kim Kardashian presents.

8.  The LGTBQ folks agree to add the 'A'.....LGATBQ....to show alien sex as special.  The aliens inform them later that all sex with humans is forbidden.  

9.  We learn by day 16 of the visit...that cats are seen as holy, and anyone harming a cat....is in pretty harsh trouble with the aliens.

10.  On day 3 of the arrival....the leadership come out to the Trump course, and golf a round with Donald.

UFO Story

Over the weekend, I noticed this social media 'story'.  So it goes like this.

Last week....a congressional committee got a unclassified briefing and a behind-the-door briefing....over some space 'BS'.  I can confirm the committee hearing occurred, beyond that....it's pure speculation on the rest of this.

What's said is that the James Webb Space Telescope detected SOMETHING.  The story goes....the mystery object has a path related to Earth...six light-years away,  and it oddly enough has made a couple of course corrections. So if true...it's not a meteor  or comet.

Size?  All they say is 'massive'.....which means something bigger than the moon.

BS story? Well....it does sound a like that TV series....Three Body Problem series.

Does this come out now....to open the door for revealing all this UFO/UAP stuff?  Hard to say.

Could the crew coming in be friendly, or like some Darth Vader-crew?

Presently, if you were traveling at accepted max speed....one light year would take 19,000 years to reach Earth.  So far, no one can say how fast this 'vehicle' is traveling (maybe it's faster).

On BS-meter....it's pinging at a '8'.  Part of me would like to believe the aliens will be here in 12 months....are here mostly to get a 15,000 year supply of Pepsi, and they want to take all the Transwomen back to their planet.  I'm also in the belief that they want to talk to Trump and get a new prospective on  things.

Would You Be A Supporter For $700 A Week?

 I watched a podcast today....gal from Philly area.

She knows this local gal (not a US citizen) who has hired out to be a 'traveler' for the Kamala Harris arena-fill-up crew.  Pay?  $700 a week in cash.

Deal?  Well....she agrees on paper to be up and ready to go....each morning, to get to a bus-point, and ride a bus (no one say amount of travel time, but I'd assume up to 4 hours) to reach some arena in the region.....walk in and fill the place for 90 minutes, then return home.

No one says anything about catering or food, but I would assume somewhere in this....there's some snacks handed out on the bus going/returning. 

The question is....would you do this for $700 a week, and I assume for a six-to-nine week period....meaning $4,200 minimum and $5,600 maximum...in cash (not being taxed of course)?

I paused over this....nine hours of patience.  Maybe they hand out a beer or two (at least on the way back).  But would I do this for 42 continuous days?  No.  Course, there is this cash gimmick.....yeah, considering how crappy things are on the economy....I'd probably do it for the $700 a week in cash. 

Someone last week did cellphone check of a arena or a Harris-rally.  Of the ten-thousand people there....roughly three-quarters were from 400 miles or more away....meaning they probably rode a bus.  All getting paid $700 a week?  Well....you can't make that case....zero proof.

It's just a funny business.....that likely will continue on in 2028 and 2032.  For you retired guys....who have the free time and don't care to waste nine hours to make $100 in cash (with a lunch and beer probably)....it might be a occupation (at least until the IRS figures this out). 

Five Humble Thoughts

 1.  On the Haitian-Springfield story....I've done some pondering.

The way this is rigged-up.....a bunch of folks (differing on number from 6,000 to 20,000 depending on who tells the story...'arrived' in a community of 60,000, then suddenly find housing.

I question this.....you can't find housing in any community to say a community of 'X' being able to accept 5-percent  of incoming folks (you can write a mathematical  formula for this).  If you had a town of 3,000....it's likely that you can't exceed 1-percent....meaning 300 new people.  To say more than 1-percent....there's something 'shady' going on.

So this housing?  If you say these were all Haitians without any real technical background....making minimum wage....the only way that you could fix housing is to offer up new house-trailer situation (figure $50,000 in costs to buy, deliver and set-up).....for a guy/gal/family who makes $1,800 after taxes/social security.  

This brings to the huge problem....there has to be fed home-vouchers influencing all of this to happen....where the Haitian family is getting $500 to $800 a month to cover cost of the home....maybe even $1,200 a month to cover the car business.

Did the mayor/city council all know of the vouchers ahead of time, and rigged housing/cars?  

If Trump arrives in January and halts the vouchers?  Well....that's the thing I reached last night in pondering this.  If the system collapses....with no vouchers, they'd all be hitting the street....probably leaving Springfield in a matter of 90 days.

2.  Diddy-climax?  I suspect when we get to early spring of 2025....more than 300 Hollywood types will be under some investigation.....connecting back to Diddy. Another curious thing....being in jail, I suspect this is the first time in 30 years....that Diddy has gone drug-free, and it's 'hellish'.

3.  To be honest, I'm at the point that I'd prefer appliances NOT to have SMART features.  I just want a stove that has some on/off button and a dial on temperature.  Same for a TV, radio, and dishwasher.  I counted on my washer....it's 32 settings on the stupid thing.  I have a living room fan, which offers a remote control situation (for my tab), and at least 40 different settings.

4.  I watched yesterday around 4 video clips of VP Harris from Friday....different locations/talks during the day.  In all four....she seemed either drunk or medicated.  You just can't get up at 6 AM....sipping a glass of wine by 9 AM, and accomplishing this six times throughout a day....to keep a buzz on.  Has to be cannabis or medication.

5.  Based on events I see unfolding over the past five years....I'm reaching a point where I don't see Charles Manson as that crazy.

My Pennsylvania Presidential Numbers Forcast

 In 2020, Joe Biden got 3,458,229 votes (about 50.1-percent) while Donald Trump got 3,377,674 votes (about 48.8-percent).

What's happened since then?  There's probably in the range of 150,000 newly registered Republican voters....the get-out-the-Amish-vote appears to be occurring (for Trump), and it would appear at least two counties that went 'blue' in 2020....will reverse to 'red' in this election.

All total?  I'm guessing Trump will top 3,600,000 and Harris will only manage3,100,000 votes.  

Getting people registered?  Yeah....that seemed to be a major issue that scored this time around.  

Ten Humble Feelings

 1.  This 2nd Trump shooter....seems to travel a good bit....yet has no real income.  Just odd, I think.  Either he's hooked-up to the CIA, or doing money-laundering for some folks.

2.  This week, there was a fair amount of talk about fake musicians....making AI-songs, and getting rich off the 'income'.  Imagine a fake Johnny Cash now existing and making $250,000 a year off AI.

3.   While some consider these talks by Kamala Harris to be 'torture'....I'm getting to the point of enjoying them....but I have to admit.....20 minutes is probably the max I can handle per day.  It's like watching a rocket-scientist guzzling half-a-bottle of whiskey and wondering how things will go in the chat.

4.  I expect some poll to arrive by November...saying 88-percent of aliens support Trump  over Kamala.  At least 1-percent of Americans will believe the poll.

5.  Whenever someone says the word 'fast-track'....I tend to question what they mean, and if their 'fast-track' meaning might equate to five years.

6.  Eventually, people that vote illegally....will end up getting a court summons, and come to grasp that by the time they pay a lawyer....just to represent them....they are $5,000 in debt  and likely to spend three months in some county-jail.

7.  You ever notice....in about 75-percent of Kamala Harris appearances....she wears a scarf?  

8.  To be honest, on influence of hyped-up Hollywood stars....about 99-percent of the time....I don't pay much attention unless they are talking about bar-b-q sauce or toilet paper.

9.  There seems to be some holy-angel factor going on with Trump...like he's got 12 angels deployed around himself constantly.

10.  I noticed a poll done in the UK....since Covid ended....about one-third of people don't really care about their work or their productivity.  

About The Beepers

 Around 15 years ago....a group of Israeli intelligence people met and discussed this crazy idea. 

They looked at Hezbollah (the Lebanese terror folks) and figured out three things: (1) communication between the bosses/commanders and the 'troops' was going to be a big deal, (2) that eventually cellphones/beepers would be the only way to communicate, and (3) that these Hezbollah folks weren't going to be super-smart on how they picked their electronic 'toys'.

So they rigged up a plan....with marginal cost. They lined up some combo of walkie-talkies and beepers.  

They put together a acquisition team....where they would find legit makers of the hardware, and get a clear deal to make such items....pretending they were European-made....when they were actually made in Israel.  Then they sold the items.....delivering them through another company.

Then they waited.

This week, the day came where they exploded the devices.

The dead?  Some folks think it's up near 400.  There's a minimum of 400 other folks were blinded (partially or fully).  Theres another group of guys....who probably won't be able to reproduce any kids for the remainder of their life.

Quietly, whoever dreamed up this whole thing.....they'd disappeared.  The odds that there's already another 15-year plan in place to  do this a second time?  I'd put the odds at 99-percent.  The odds that it's to be rigged via China? Yeah....I'd give it a 99-percent chance as well.

Permanently damage to Hezbollah?  Well...from the leadership prospective....I'd say trust in electronic devices is near zero. 

Trump And The Max Percentage On Credit Cards Talk

 This week, Trump talked up the idea of making the max that credit cards can charge on interest....to be set at 10-percent.

Odds of VISA and Master-Card agreeing?  Zero.

Odds of getting Republicans to agree in the House/Senate?  Near 10-percent (they might agree to set it at 19-percent).

I worked in a office with a female contractor (the multiple-marriage gal).  One day, I had lunch with her and my female co-worker.  Credit debt came up.

What the female contractor had....was around $85,000 in card debt.  Naturally, I was curious, so I asked....how did you arrive at this point?

Basic answer?  Around age 23, she signed up over a 1-year period.....to five credit cards.  

Over a 5-year period...she charged up around $45,000.....where she halted herself, but could not pay enough off on each card....so the 20-to-25 percent interest kept growing.

I asked....where did you spend the $45,000?  Well....this went off to five or six things (car repairs, trips to Vegas, new washer/dryer, weddings (3x), and gifts).  

So I asked....how much are you spending to get it down?  Well....she detailed this out....almost $1,800 a month of her engineer salary went to payments.  But even then.....without any use of the cards....she'd need at least 12 years.

If she'd had a 10-percent interest limit?  That would have helped.  The other thing though.....you need a absolute limit on each card....no more than $10,000, and you need a strategy where you don't do reckless vacations where 100-percent of the cost is covered by the credit cards.

It's been 16 years since that conversation.  I'm guessing she's pretty close to paying off the cards.  Twenty years of her life wasted on this?  That's my gut feeling.  

What happens to VISA if this was forced through?  Their profit margin diminishes in a harsh way (you'd need to dump their stock).   Would something appear to get around the 10-percent interest?  Oh, I have no doubt that some gimmick would occur.

This Oprah-Kamala Interview

 From this 90-odd minute 'interview'....I gave it my best shot.

Somewhere around the 20th minute....I paused, and went to the 30th minute....lasting around 10 minutes there, and then skipping ahead.  All total?  I made it to 45-odd minutes.

Frankly, when questions did come up....seeming legit....she answered like someone stoned-up, or boozed-up.  Bunch of words thrown together, and not really making that much sense.

People watching this and getting a ill-feeling?  I'd suggest most feeling weird and wondering if she was medicated.

There's at least three times where the camera caught Oprah's face, and she had this blank look.....like someone farted in the room.

I have this theory....hanging around Joe Biden for four years.....maybe some of Joe's weird 'chatter' rubbed off  on Kamala.

I just can't remember another election like this....where someone was totally disconnected from reality.

This 'Civil-War' Strategy?

 Well....as silly as it sounds.....Trump would win in November (maybe marginal victory....maybe an overwhelming victory, like 40 states in his favor).

Then you would approach early January, with the arrival of the House and Senate, who might under odd circumstances have a Democratic majority in each (I'm having serious doubts on this angle).  The House would meet and disqualify Trump on day one of their meetings. They'd hand this to the Senate on day two, and Trump would be disqualified from becoming President.

Vance?  No one says of this situation, but he might say it's a all-or-none deal, and refuse to participate.

What happens on 25 January 2025?  Well....without Trump or Vance...the short-term fix would be to appoint the Head of the House (Jefferies).

My humble view of what follows?  At least twenty states would refuse to participate in any business....recall their House/Senate members, and massive chaos would occur.

Wall Street?  I'd suggest a massive fall in stock values over a one-month period.

It's just a weird scenario to discuss, and would require a bottle or two of whiskey.  

I suspect Jefferies would last about 30 days max, and the replacement President probably will be forced to resign by early March.  

When Pressed For A Response

 If you are a kid....say ages of ten to eighteen...and you have some teacher or person of authority asking you a question you can't answer.....here is how you respond.

You look intently at the person...give them 10 seconds of silence, and respond....'I grew up in a middle-class family, middle-class neighborhood, and just RAMBLE on.  

Talk some BS over 'life is unfair but we proceed on'....mixing it with 'they don't really eat dogs and cats in Springfield'....throw in toward the end....say 'all can be well, if we just try harder'.

Moisten your eye a little, and avoid grinning.

If the person acts puzzled.....just repeat the whole statement a second time.

Don't worry....we are a dumbass society, and perfectly capable of accepting statements like this.

Math Chatter

 

I remember this day....around the 6th grade, where the logical way of handling the problem...COULD NOT be explained to a group of 25 kids.  It took maybe 2 or 3 sessions, and then  eight of them had some grasp of the (*-*) problem.

Even 12 sessions later....there were still 10 of us in the room without any idea of how to solve the problem.

I always thought this should be a two-line problem:

(8-5)=X

2 plus 5X = Y

This agenda to disallow 2-line problems?  Well....you'd think it'd make more sense. 

But the other side of this....more than 50-percent of people need a problem to relate to.  This would be like saying the store has apples at x-price and needs to make Y-amount of profit.  

It just always seemed like math teachers were anti-business types and wanted the math equation to avoid any connection to commerce or capitalism.

The end-product?  Well....math should have never been rocket-science.

Just A Humble Thought

 As the smoke clears on 6 November 2024....I generally expect now for Trump to be declared the winner.  Yeah, there will be six states with counting problems, but I suspect those six will clear mostly for Trump.  So the analysis will start up and these five reasons declared as Kamala Harris problems:

1.  Tim Walz was not a plus-up for VP candidate.  Between the goofy behavior, his wife, the military record deal, and handling of the riots in the state....he didn't improve the 'ticket'.

2.  Kamala Harris, in the eyes of roughly 25-percent of American voters....was a unknown.

Other than standing around for 4 years as VP.....a lot of people simply couldn't say much of what she did....which was remarkable.

3.  Flipping Joe Biden to Kamala Harris at the last minute?  This will  be talked  about for decades, and deemed a big mistake.  

Joe should have said back in the fall of 2023.....he was not running, and allowed the primary system to work, as designed.

4.  Whoever in the White House made the decision to allow the economy to go off in a crappy way for the past year or two....deserves some blame.  Same story with the migration  strategy.....they goofed up and allowed problems to mount against Joe Biden and Kamala  Harris.

5.  Finally, starting all these legal matters against Trump....probably was one of the weirdest strategies ever.  

But adding to these situations....the key factor that changed the race?  Twitter being bought by Elon Musk.  You could analyze this a thousand times....and the original crew thinking they could damage Twitter enough that it'd never recover....were remarkably wrong.  In the end, without much thought....they made Elon some Jesus-like character, and he was up to the task.

Intellectual Chatter

 Someone wrote a piece on Twitter, and suggested that a whole generation of fake-intellectuals have grown up in the US, and probably 10-percent of society wants to impress you with their fake intellectualism.

I've been pondering over this idea since I read this idea last week.

The idea is that these people went through high school in the past 25 years....most attempted to go through college....maybe a quarter of them dropped out by the end of the first year....still thinking they were 'gifted' and still tried to impress the public.  The rest?  They sharpen their chatter...wanting to get you bought into their BS.

I grew up in the rural south and we always had a couple of gentlemen in the area who read US News and World Report, National Geographic, the Nashville Banner, Argosy magazine, and Life.  On their porch, they represented this weird form of intellectualism.  These are guys who hadn't gone off to college, or read Plato, or studied Roman history, or could give you more than one paragraph on evolution (if they got onto this....was the Scoops Monkey trial).  

These porch guys were generally 'IT'.....they were fake-intellectuals but you felt  somewhat impressed by the chatter.

My problem  with the current crowd....the ones who appear on NPR, Fox, CNN or MSNBC....is that  you feel like they don't even measure up to the porch-guys.  You get four minutes of 2-star BS.....there's no real convincing argument, and your finger is angling toward the MUTE-button constantly.

Yeah, I sorta miss the porch crowd.  They at least read their material and could give you a decent 2-minute argument. 

So this brings me to the population problem.....that we have around 30-million intellectuals in America....of which....probably 90-percent are fake-intellectuals and just wasting your time on their chatter.  You'd like to hit mute, but sometimes it's your neighbor, or your co-worker, etc.  

It's an odd problem....but it's not worth getting all stressed out about.  On the fortunate side?  Well....there's just one Elon.....not 10-million Elons. 

The Problem in Bringing in 20-Odd Thousand Haitians

 I sat and pondered upon this yesterday.

Of all cultures in the world....Haiti is this one odd group....where the average IQ of an adult is 75 (Americans are at 98).  Just for the record, in case you were wondering....engineers are at 115 (average).

So, if you were a gov't guy and figured...what-the-hell....I'll bring into a community of 60,000 residents.....20,000 Haitians, who are marginally functional (figure the word half-wit fits)....how do things progress in the next decade?

Can the typical  Haitian drive a car....if his IQ is 75?

Can the typical Haitian work in a plant or factory....if the IQ level is 75?

Most Haitians only speak Creola (French-based language)....the odds of 20,000 easily picking up English...if the IQ level is a problem?

Its a funny problem and with serious consequences over the next decade.

Q-and-A

 1.  What happens with the accusation that ABC News rigged up the debate with Trump/Harris?

Well....there is a affidavit to say ABC quietly agreed to truth-challenge Trump (not Harris)....an that Harris knew the extent of some questions to be asked.  This is from an insider to ABC.

If the Trump crew challenges this in court....there's problems for ABC if a 2nd witness comes out and agrees to the basic problems.

ABC would lose profit, and face some minor consequences.  

Hard to imagine they'd be this stupid (meaning management).

2.  This second shooter on Trump?  Based off what I read this AM....he's a pretty naive guy....mostly pro-Ukraine and pro-Harris.  Jail-time?  He's going to end up with 20 years easily.

Funny part to this story?  He was a recruitment guy for Ukraine.....trying to talk Americans into going over and fighting for them (at least in 2023).

Other funny thing?  Well....FBI says they are investigating this....but state of Florida said it's on their soil, and they will have their own investigation going on.  FBI might actually have to put some effort into this now.

3. Has Russia now lost as many men in the Ukraine-war....as the US lost in WW II?

Well....Russia doesn't really say the numbers, but if you accept Brit analysis of the war....yeah, they've passed the losses of the US for WW II.

Eight Humble Thoughts

 1.  I watched some 11-minute interview by a TV journalist with Kamala Harris this AM.  She reverted back to the goofy-Kamala.  On the economic question (how to fix the economy), it was five-star BS....even a 11-year old kid would realize it.  She needs to halt interviews entirely, in hopes to win.

2.  I readily predict....within 90 days....across the US....a gang-war of epic proportions is about to start up, with the Venezuela gangs heading up the action.  Crips and Bloods?  Even they will be drawn into this.  

States in some condition to 'fight' this war?  No....you'd have to activate the National Guard (minimum of 20,000) to assist LE.  

3.  If this advanced-questions-handed-to-Harris BS is true?  Whoever did this for ABC....is probably finished in journalism.  

4.  Georgia State Senate sent a subpoena to Fanni Willis.  She says she won't comply.   I'll predict before election-day....she's detained by the state LE folks, and ends up in some jail situation for 60 days.  

5.  If you just count working-class voters (leaving welfare-voters and upper-class out)....Trump is 17-points ahead Kamala.  Not sure if it means anything.  Weird-poll, and you don't typically count voters in this fashion.

6.  The one odd factor that does come up in Springfield, Ohio  (the 'metropolis' for Haitian people in America)....they seem to quickly have gotten state driving licenses, without much training.  This in turn....enabled them to somehow get car loans quickly, and then get on the streets/roads of Springfield.  So a lot of folks around the city of 60-odd thousand...have accident stories to tell, where crappy Haitian drivers 'hit' them in some fashion.

7.  I read a lot of medical journal crap.  So I read a piece from Harvard Medical School (McLean Hospital people wrote it).....they say that kids taking a high dose of amphetamines  (usually prescribed for treating attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)) have a statistically higher chance of developing psychosis and mania.  Nutty behavior....where you think you are 'something-else'....being triggered via ADHD medication?  Well....it makes you wonder.

Could we just terminate these drugs?  I doubt it.

8.  Past five days....I've noticed only two occasions that President Biden got into the news.  Amazing how he quickly disappears.

Five Humble Thoughts

 1.  Among data-collectors of Haitian society....most agree between 50 and 95 percent practice basic rituals of Voodoo.  If you are talking about animal sacrifices....there's no existing number.  

If you brought up either animal sacrifices or Voodoo to most Americans....I would imagine 10-percent would have a serious problem.

2.  Some rumor (officially) started up that the Electoral College count....will have Secret Service 'protection'.  What that means?  Unknown....but it's a Presidential order.

3.  Another rumor started today....that orders have gone out to 'lock-down' DC....on 6 January.  Not sure if this involves the National Guard.

4.  Some Naval officer (junior-grade) put up a private Wi-Fi system in her quarters....using one of Elon's Starlink systems.  Yeah, lot of trouble developing over this.

5. Considering all the trouble with Haitians coming to the US.....wouldn't it be better to stage 1,000 Marines in Haiti....seize it....make it a US territory, and set the path to be a state?  You could rename Trump and the capital Trumpville.

Ten Humble Thoughts

 1.  I think you can line up 10,000 voters and ask if Taylor Swift's political endorsement matters, and  you probably will get five people to stand and admit so.  The problem is....'dead-Elvis' could endorse as well, and get the same five.  

2.  If somebody out there is catching and eating cats.....there's at least a dozen diseases that you might introduce to yourself, one of which is ringworm.  Just got a bad feeling that some health alert in 2025 is going to occur, and suggest a national 'problem'.

3.  Reading through Denver news.....locals now say in some 'way'....the city of Denver (had to have city council support)....sent money budgeted for Covid....to refugee-support.  If there is an audit....will be curious how you explain this.

4.  I went back to count questions to VP Harris in the debate....under the status of 'dodging' (avoiding an answer)....I'd say my count got up to 4-plus.  It's not a bad habit (President Biden does this 60-plus percent of the time).  The problem is....compared against 1980s....the majority of voters recognize this habit now and laugh over it.

5.  I don't really care if you need to offer up prayers once, or twice a day...but if you asked me if I want to join-in or participate....my response will be no.  I'm a pretty heavy believer in fate/luck.  

But when you get to rituals or offering up animal sacrifices....I'm probably going to tell you in a harsh way to up-and-leave.

6.  My thoughts on Hillary Clinton in 9-11's NY City event in 2016....where she was rushed off to the 'house'?

She has a bladder issue....got up early....consumed limited water prior to leaving for the 9-11 event that morning.  About 90 minutes into walking around....she was dehydrated and NOT consuming water.  She announced to the Secret Service that she probably had about 10 minutes before she was to collapse, and they got her out.

No big deal....but then you'd ask about the bladder problem and why she can't sip water at the 9-11 event.  The response would be.....there's no public toilet there, and that is the central problem to the whole discussion.

7.  What cost George Bush (#1) the vote?  The crappy economy, and Ross Perot.  I see a lot of that election situation existing in 2024.

8.  I sat and watched this AM....a video of a young immigrant lad in the Netherlands, who'd removed all his clothing and approaching several Dutch police.  After a warning or two....one Dutch cop fired his taser-gun and missed the chest area....hitting the poor guy in the testicles....giving him a full dose charge.

I'm not sure of his condition after the event, but I might assume 'Marty' might be sore for several weeks, and require some surgery 'help' later.

Why nude?  Well...temperatures are in the 50s (F), and he seemed a bit confused (like drug-use).

9.  The more dishonest you are....the least likely you are to desire a honest 'boss' or leader.

10.  I have a slight interest in Portland and Oregon politics (note, no, I'm not from the region....nor have I ever lived there).  Folks just seem ultra-weird there (more so than from Alabama).

So this AM, I noted that a new person is talking about running for mayor of Portland (to replace 4-star loser Ted Wheeler).  

The new person? Carmen Rubio.  

So here's the odd factor about Rubio....she is a lefty to some degree....but I noticed the locals talking about her history in parking tickets and traffic violations.....saying she's passed the 150 citations point (took a lot of effort).  Then someone said Rubio had a minimum of six driving license suspensions.

Purely on insurance risks....I'd question if any company would insure her vehicles. 

But people in Portland need someone with a weird character, and if they could just hire up a full-time driver for Rubio....I think this could work out..

Five Things

 1.  I spend at least 30 minutes a week reviewing news pieces from Florida's condo market, and owner-spiral.  It's not a pleasant view.

I'll predict by the end of 2025....there's around 150,000 Florida residents  who've given up and exited the state.  Some (probably in the 10,000 range)....will be homeless or ending up in the house of their kids or relatives.  

2.  Somehow, in the hour or two prior to the Atlanta school shooting....kid's mom is talking to the school counselor....worried over a potential 'threat' of some type.  From this encounter?  Nothing happens.

If you are ever in the position of the mom in this case....consider the school counselor worthless, and take your own actions.

3.  The selling point of bringing the Haitians (20,000) to central Ohio?  Well....the region is affected by a drugged-up culture....meaning if you demand clear-headed people and establish drug-tests....the locals can't pass the test or be employed.

So this brief window has opened.  As soon as the Haitians discover drugs....they will be unable to pass the drug tests or be employed.  Clock is ticking....figure a year at best before reality occurs.

4.  I'm watching the series 'Mad Men' for the first time....ending the first season.  Basically, a 2-star soap opera, with everyone smoking, drinking their whiskey straight, and a fair amount of sex between adults in the early 1960s.  This is one of the weirdest shows I've seen since 'Lost'.

5. I've watched five or six videos of Miami Dolphins' Tyreek Hill, and his arrest deal.  

Once you explain his speeding (50 mph above the limit)....then his behavior as the police had pulled him over....I'm not buying into the innocent story he hands out.

If you are caught speeding (50-over)....cops should confiscate your car for six months, and mandate some heavy insurance reaction. 

Having Watched The Debate

 1.  Instead of a Harris versus Trump debate....I'd say it was more of a ABC versus Trump debate.

2.  Funny....muted-mic rule disappeared.

3. No notes rule?  Harris sat there with a notebook.

4.  Instead of talking about a winner or loser of the debate...it's more of  a discussion....'did you see what ABC's moderators did'.  

I'll Just Say.....This Debate Tonight Is A All-Or-Nothing Situation

 Kamala Harris has to do a 'tie' or better....for her campaign to sustain itself for the remaining 70-odd days.

If she stumbles around....does the goofy laugh....fails to state any policy of hers....spends the whole hour in some prosecution style on Trump....then the election is a failed mess for her to resolve (at least at this point).

Usually....you end up with marginal debate 'goofs' and neither does much of a job actually winning a debate.  

In Trump's defense?  This is a guy who reads the Wall Street Journal daily, and has insight into the top twenty-five stories of the day.  He's not stupid.

As much as Biden would want to say he 'bested' Trump in the debates....I considered them mostly a draw.  

Will the networks give up selling Harris's brand, if she stumbles around a good bit tonight?  On CNN's behalf....yeah, I think so.  

Quote

 Nikki Haley quote  from this AM:

“Donald Trump and JD Vance need to change the way they speak about women. You don't need to call Kamala dumb. She didn't get this far just by accident."

I paused over the 'accident' comment.

Yeah, by accident....she met up in her youth with a SF mayor, and he 'lifted' her.  

Personally, I keep going back to the idea in 2016....why Trump needed to hire Haley and thinking that was one of his ten key mistakes.  

Five Things That Don't Make Much Sense

1. Former VP Republican Dick Cheny came out and said he was advocating for Kamala Harris.  I pondered upon it....across the entire US....his 'talk' probably influences about a hundred people.  

2.  Former candidate RFK Jr....came out an said he was advocating for Donald Trump.  I pondered upon it....across the entire US....his 'talk' probably influences around 200,000 voters.

3.  I pondered over this story here in the AM.  There's no doubt in NY City....animal sacrifices are going on.  

Maybe for a hundred years....there was some minor rituals.  But now?  It's probably a daily thing.

So, you have to wonder....will the general public just accept this....like all the other weird stuff from the past three or four years?

4.  This debate carrying a lot of weight on Kamala Harris?  Well....yeah.  I don't think she's ever been pushed to this level of 'study' required.  If she simply 'ties' in the debate?  That's enough to carry on.  If she 'loses' the debate?  Election is over and I think Trump wins 35 states  (maybe even Illinois).  It just amazes me that she agreed to this debate.

5.  Bean-counters now say Biden has crossed the 40-percent point....of engaging in vacations or off-time for his presidency.  Considering  the 120-odd days left....he probably will come close to 45-percent.

Americans To Save The Earth: Stop Use Of AC Units?

 Some science group came out and urged Americans to halt the use AC units.  I paused over the subject.

My dad was the first generation in family to have both AC in cars, and homes...plus the Post Office.  I was in the group that had 'some' use of AC (at least after 1977).  Our rural school had a AC unit in each room, but they were determined not to use it because of energy cost and noise.

My Air Force period?  I was shocked in boot-camp.....we had a fantastic modern building. 

Most of my barracks?  I'd say 75-percet had ZERO AC.  

Life here in Germany?  I have a roll-around AC unit and most years....I might run it 12 to 15 days a summer.  This year?  None....it was so moderate.

So I view this urging of Americans to give up their AC....as a lost cause.  You'd have to adapt your clothing style....go to gym shorts....plain t-shirts, and wide use of fans.  Ice coolers loaded with beer?  Yeah.

Asking the Gen-Z folks to give up?  That might be interesting to watch.

Seven Humble Thoughts

1.  People approaching 60, who've had serious panic and anxiety attacks through their entire life....generally find ways to avoid stressful situations or 'pill-up' (medicating themselves).  When they launch into some kind of laugh to relax themselves....it's a self-mechanism to relieve the stress involved.  If this reminds you of anyone....feel free to identify the person.

2.  Just for science reference....E-cars of any type....put out ELF (Extremely Low Frequency) radiation.  At some point....probably ten years down the line...some study will reveal that if you spend more than an hour a day in a E-car....you are dosing up on some fairly negative radiation....causing people to rush out and buy 'reflective' suits to wear while driving.

3.  Rather shocking....summers are hot, and winters are cold.

4.  Just a humble thought....if ABC wrote out their 12 questions for VP Harris....handed them to her, and even gave her a written response to respond with....I'm not sure it'd help.

5.  Before the modern era....you probably had one or two moments of OUTRAGE over your entire life.  Now?  You probably have an OUTRAGE moment every ten days.

6.  There's a Scottish gov't worker....now suing the government....to force them into allowing him to do home-office, period (never showing up at the office).  Reason?  He has a phobia of germs.  He insists his home is the only place where he's safe to be.

7.  Just a crazy thought....the entire construction of the Empire State Building....took 13.5 months.  You plan and execute any plan like this today....it'd take 40 months minimum.

Five Things That Don't Make Sense

 1.  The economy is currently 'great'....meaning under President Biden....yet the media message under the Harris campaign?  It basically says that Kamala is going to 'fix' the economy.

2.  Whenever a Law Enforcement official says 'he was on our radar'.....it's usually 24 hours after someone was killed.

3.  The lady-mayor of Moscow up and gave $3.5-million to Hunter Biden.  To this day...no one knows what the 'gift' was for.

4.  Dick Cheney saying he'll vote for Kamala Harris.

5.  Seems to be a huge deployment going on in NY City with National Guardsmen in the city (probably near 1,000).  They seem to be riding the subway system....90-percent of the time. 

Ten Things That Amaze Me In This Modern Era

 1.  In 1975, you might have observed or listened to three discussions/debates in a normal week via TV or radio.  Today, you can observe or listen to thirty discussions/debates per day.

2.  Your typical car in 1977 probably had 15 'functions'.  A car today?  It probably has over 400 'functions'.

3. You could have walked through a Piggly Wiggly grocery in 1975 and noted 12 fruits.  Today?  There's probably forty fruits, and half of them come from beyond the US/Mexico region.

4.  In a typical grocery store of 1975....you probably had four types of wattage for  bulbs.  Today, there are six to eight color tones, at least 15 different wattage selections, and ten different functions.

5.  You can be sitting on a broke farm tractor in a Georgia field....conversing with some farmer sitting in Iowa about the problem...define the part required, and then call some parts dealer in Kansas....who will hand  it off to Fedex by 5 PM.  

6.  You can go to a on-line board and survey the 300 hotels around Tampa....looking for particular room and hotel, with sixteen qualifications.  In 1977, you were looking purely for a room without any expectations.

7.  Vape-smokes....having a unique flavor (like vanilla E-smokes).  Who would have thought that vanilla e-smokes would be preferred.

8.  A grocery aisle having 150 choices of soda today....compared to 1975, where there were sixteen choices of soda.

9.  Goof-ball politicians....are still goof-ball politicians....doesn't matter if we were talking 1974 or 2024.

10.  NBA basketball peaked around 1986 to 1992, and we've never reached that level since then. (When Larry Bird retired, the league was doomed)

That Podcast

This week, I wasted about 20 minutes watching this Tucker Carlson interview with the historian Darryl Cooper....who gave a talk on 'evil' Winston Churchill and presented some alternate excuses for Hitler and Nazi Germany. 

At some point, I just started laughing.....it was a case of crappy history.  

I see this occasionally....where someone tries to view the Nazi era and the Holocaust...by only talking from the 1920s on....skipping roughly 2,000 years of European and Roman history.

It is one of the few times with the Carlson podcasts....that he got some crappy historian on, and gave them a chance to present bogus history.

Once the tribes were unable to resist the Romans....this opened the path to authority of Rome over the region, started commerce, set up taxation, and the disgruntled Germanic tribes were to be affected in various ways....which Jewish traders were a integral part of.

As for the interview having any value?  No....it's one of the rare times that I'd tell you to avoid something.

My School Bomb Threat

 I grew up in rural Alabama.  During the last year of high school (1976 fall-to-winter)...in the early afternoon (1 PM).....a bomb threat was called in.

We were 'herded' to a location by the football field (half a mile away).  We were out there for 45 minutes before they admitted what was going on. 

Temperature affect?  Well...yeah, this was problem.  It was probably 50 degrees, and we were lucky....no rain.

As far as I know....town cops led a 'search' (if you can consider it legit).  I doubt if they knew what they were looking for.

At some point, about 25 minutes into this....we had this guy in my class...Gary, who was supposed to be in PE, and he'd come out in shorts/T-shirt.  Gary reached a point where standing there was not practical, and he just took running toward the gym....to enter and get his jacket.  

This Gary-moment was the most excitement of the 45 minutes.

Eventually, they decided to release school....lined up the buses, and gave us ten minutes to get inside....dump our books, and exit to the buses.

Now, if you were to ask me....who called the threat in?  Well....there was this odd event at the bus area.  The 20-year-old boyfriend of a 11th-grade girl....was parked and all ready to pick up his gal.  It was impossible for him to have advance notice of the school letting out.

After this....for at least a week, we all talked about the event.  

My Three Theories Over UAP/UFO 'Chatter'

 1.  The largest obstacle to admitting to the whole mess?  You have x-number of companies who've had a thousand-year advancement period of technology going on....so if you admitted the whole story, you've got 99-percent of companies existing today....with wasted effort.  

2.  As skeptical as folks are today....I think the majority of the population...even if the aliens themselves gave a live interview...the general public would not believe the aliens.

3.  As much time as they seem to spend on Earth...it just seems likely they goofed-up their home-planet, and Earth is their plan 'B'.....which ought to make you ask....what'd you do to screw up things?

My Eight Observations of Propaganda

 1.  Literally anyone (even your local church minister, your boss at the tire-shop, or your landlady) can produce or distribute propaganda.

2.  Sometimes....the sole purpose of propaganda is to keep you confused.  

3.  Sometimes, the sole purpose of propaganda is to convince you to buy a product.  After which.....you realize it is a great product.

4.  If you started counting upon sun-up.....over a 18-hour day, you probably get a minimum of twenty 'acts' of propaganda.

5.  It's possible to get pro-propaganda and anti-propaganda....on the same subject, with both being fictional or made-up.

6. We are probably reaching a stage where a phobia now exists with propaganda....meaning you have an irrational fear of any propaganda.

7.  Sometimes, it makes sense to make you think that you are getting a dose of propaganda....when it is in fact....totally true.

8.  If you have a moderator and a panel of five people....who are saying basically the same 'slant' on the topic....it's a 99-percent chance that they are giving you a 'dose' of propaganda.

Russia - Russia - Russia

 The AG came out yesterday and said....yes, Russia is again back to ruining the American election, and solutions will have to be sought.

I pondered over this.

First, there's no doubt that RT (Russia's English TV network) is pumping out BS.  If you asked me over how many Americans watch RT....I'd suggest fewer than 50,000.  

I've watched RT back in 2013 to 2016.  I'll just say if you watch enough CNN or MSNBC....it's the same propaganda production.  

As for the idea of Russia influencing the election....I ask...to what end?  Are they helping Trump or Kamala?  This isn't clear.  

Are the Russians blasting a laser at Joe Biden's head from a space satellite....to wrap his brains....producing these dementia-like symptoms?  

Did the Russians develop a strategy 20 years ago to bring Kamala to the VP position?

Was Stormy Daniels really a KGB spy....to bring Trump down?

Is Elon a Soviet agent from the 1980s?

Was CNN HR hiring up Russian agents back in 2018?

The problem in bringing up this BS chatter.....one-third of Americans readily believe in the Russians ruining American politics.....when it was the Americans themselves...ruining their own politics.

Five Things Joe Screwed Up On

 1.  On the economy....he should have brought in five people and directed them....make this economy take-off and look great in three years.

2.  He should have gazed at the Afghanistan withdrawal, and brought in someone to manage this in a professional way.

3.  He should have said 'NO' to refugees having a open-door situation.

4.  He should have held limits for the Ukraine.

5.  He should never have hired Kamala as VP.  Even Hillary would have been a better choice. 

It's funny where we are today....Trump likely returning....beating a hundred obstacles, and one assassination attempt....then he selects some Kentucky 'hick' guy who grew up in a messed-up family with the grandma the ONLY thing keeping him on-track.  If you wrote this 1,500-page saga....no one would believe you.  

Oh, and don't forget the Fanni-chapter.  

My Problem With The Prove-You-Are-American Scheme

 Basically, at the end of this discussion....you'd have to talk over two issues.

First, can you read AND write....thus comprehend?  

I'd say near around 3-million Americans...on these three things....can't read, or write, or comprehend.  What exactly will you do with them?

Second, none of this identify-BS works....unless you issue out ID cards, which I know.....no one wants to do that.

I'm not against the prove-this or prove-that stuff....just that we need a complete conversation, and admit one-percent of society is pretty stupid, and we can't talk about that problem.

(This is where I tell  a US Army story from 1982.  Roger got recruited and signed up from eastern Kentucky. His momma drove him to the bus station.

The Army took Roger through boot-camp and told him....for his 2 years remaining....he was to be sent to Germany.

Roger arrived at the unit, and handed them his records....in particular the finance folder.

Roger spent the 2 years with no issues.  About 3 months before his discharge, the Army brought Roger in and was doing the checklist.  Then they discovered Roger had NOT been paid since the end of boot-camp (nearly 2 years ago).

Sarge brought Roger in....asked various questions.   The Captain asked more. Roger seemed not to have missed the monthly pay business. Momma sent Roger a crisp twenty-dollar bill each month, and he mostly ate out of the chow hall.  Occasionally, momma would send a box with socks and underwear.  

The Army then realized that Roger probably wasn't that bright, and just seem to take everything in stride. 

They added up the missing money...in the $25k to $30k range.    They called his momma and reported the situation (she was worried he'd gotten into trouble). No, said the Army.....just that when she picked Roger up at the airport...he'd have a check for his service and she needed to drive him to a bank.

I would imagine out of 300-million Americans....there's probably at least two million 'Rogers' out there, and surviving mostly because of fate or luck.)

I should add....if you had to go and ask Roger to prove his American status...he'd be totally lost. 

The Better Projection: Joe or Kamala?

 There's this odd lab-experiment going on.  

Most all voters have an image and belief in Joe Biden. It's pretty divided....for Democrats....Joe never had to re-invent himself. His talk, his jokes, his antics.....legendary stuff for 40 years.   

Presently, selling Kamala?  Well....there has to be a reinvention situation going on.  The bulk of Democrats don't know her....even after 8 years of the Senate or 3.5 years as VP.  California Democrats know her....mostly via her SF DA days, or the Attorney General period for the state.  To be honest, half of those folks aren't really out front and talking about her.

So the lab experiment is this....in 70-odd days...can you remake a person into something 'else'?

This is like taking a cheap piece of steak (a bit fatty)...putting on a plate with a small baked potato, and offering this with a fake Coke-like drink for $16. You would size up the steak, the small potato and the fake Coke, and either accept the price or  decline.  Some people would respond....sure, I'll take the steak deal for $10, and be peeved that they can't swing the deal.

Maybe if you had a whole year to work on this....the re-branding of Kamala would be more workable.  This swap-out for example....should have been done in the fall of 2023, with Kamala getting dozens of events to present herself.

So I'm mostly convinced.....this is a ill-conceived lab-experiment.  Who can I blame?  Well...the DNC and Joe.  

Will this be discussed for decades?  Yeah.  I would imagine at least six books will come out in 2025....laying out the failure of the lab-experiment and the 'tricks' which failed.

It Has Been On My Mind: The Desk Picture

 Yesterday, President Biden went to the White House studio....it's set up with lights cameras and props....so he can give a 'story' on a moment's notice.

For some reason, what they've given him for a desk prop...is some $200 college room desk. 

Yeah, it's about a quarter the size of his actual desk.

A number of folks have offered the opinion that it's 'insulting' and a joke.

If they'd gone out to buy an actual real executive desk?  Well....it would have been in the $25,000 range (I know, because we had a Air Force major in Panama who'd gone and ordered such a desk).

I'm not pro-desk or anti-desk....just that it's a prop....like the flags, or the fake window.  

It's a silly discussion but we get this almost daily now....for 3.5 years.....a goofy scene that is mostly amusing.  

When Politicians Speak In 'Tongues'

 Up through the 2000s.....it was just rare when you had some politician who suddenly came up and spoke in 'tongues' (meaning they suddenly spoke 'southern').  

I know...some of you would have a different meaning of 'tongues'.....saying it means something totally different in Pentecostal Christian situations.  

But the situation is mostly the same.....it's a fake accent game....meant to draw you to some 'other' conclusion.  

I usually give the person giving the talk about 15 seconds....just to gauge how bad the accent is....then I mute the TV.

The sad thing is that they usually draw upon a Georgia or South Carolina accent....not the Texan or West Virginia accent.  

Doing this in a non-southern state?  NO...that won't happen.

Should it be outlawed?  No.....we ought to encourage it.  Once they show that they can 'do' it....force them to stick with the accent.

Four Theories Of Mine

 Just things that have been on my mind for years:

1.   Seth Rich murder in DC.

I think among the odd things Seth had stumbled into with the IT management of Hillary Clinton's DC data....without really grasping it....I think he stumbled into money-laundering of a fairly significant amount (probably more than $100-million), and this was not a US source.

So in the end....without really knowing the full angle of things....someone had to clean up a mess.  

2.  Building 7 collapsing on 9-11.

So....here's my theory....across the street (north) from Building 7....there are several structures of lesser height.  The street in question is Barclay Street.  On the roof of one of these buildings was a energy-wave weapon, and these guys on this rooftop....had a angle shot of WTC 5/6....over the top of Building 7.  

Yes, they had to know of the two planes being directed and crashing into the towers.

So in the effort to collapse WTC 5/6....their energy wave weapon spread a beam over the top couple of floors of Building 7 as well....meaning that without any effort of a plane....the top floors melted and collapsed in upon itself.

3.  The effort to convince Charles Manson, who could not read/write, that he was a high IQ individual....was entirely bogus, and likely a CIA development to see if you could convince someone of something that was completely false.

4.  On Hunter Biden and the Ukraine oil/natural gas company...Burisma.  

I think the entire board was suspect and likely none of them had any expertise for the kind of work required.  

Who really owned the board/company?  I suspect Russian oligarch folks.  The money tunnel?  Well....the building and 'appearance' all led to Ukraine....but profits all led back to Cyprus (not Ukraine).  

The 20-odd companies under Burisma?  They likely had incompetent people on their boards as well. 

My Humble View of the Trump Assassination Attempt

 Six observations:

1.  I think there was Patsy #1 and Patsy #2...meaning Crooks had his friend/associate as part of the original planning process....with a middle-guy #1 (who they never conversed via a phone).

Patsy #1 (Crooks, the shooter) was to get his shot or two off, when Patsy #2 had the pipe-bomb assignment.  Patsy #2 built the pipe-bombs and they were packed into a back-pack....similar in nature to the back-pack which Patsy #1 had.

Patsy #1 felt absolutely sure he'd have an escape situation.

On the morning of the event...middle-guy #1 helped to convey the bags into the zone (meaning he had some security clearance to the site).  

Patsy #1/#2 arrived separately (never to be seen together in any video).  

As Patsy #2 met to get the bag with the pipe-bombs....he was eliminated. I'm guessing he was stuffed into a rubberized container or wooden box....to be carted out that evening and buried in some wooded site....by middle-guy #2.

Patsy #1 picked up his weapon bag, and went to the planned site. As soon as Patsy #1 was eliminated....the van, which was to be parked at X-point....was NOT parked at the assigned point, and later found by the regular cops.  Why this was goofed up?  Unknown.  But this is the problem laid upon Patsy #1/#2....not the middle-guy #1.

2.  None of this attempt would have worked....had this Secret Service team been a  full-up crew, with an experienced event planner.  Whoever selected the site for the Trump-team....had some some type of connection to middle-guy #1 or his associates.  

3.  I just find it odd....CNN had never gone to cover a Trump event live.  On this occasion, they were there.  Someone in the CNN empire had some type of chatter they were following....to lead them to make this a priority to cover live. Beyond that....they know nothing.  Had Trump died there....CNN would have been the only network with premium  coverage for the next 12 hours.

4.  The Secret Service, as they present themselves today.....are finished.  They will be gutted-up in January.  The term 'Secret Service' will be gone by mid-summer of 2025.  There will be two 'services' existing by that point.  One group will be solely for the protection of the present President/VP and family members.  The other group, I believe will be ONLY for past Presidents/VPs and family members.  The members of each group will not be swapped out.  

5.  Whoever is middle-guy #1 and #2....if they haven't figured this out presently....they are not likely to exist/live...past the end of 2024.  If I were either guy....I'd disappear into Belize.  

6.  Shooter #1 (not Patsy #1/#2)...was in a separate building....has US military experience, and has some face-to-face time with middle-guy #1.  He is probably a CIA asset in some way....although NOT working for the agency or paid a regular salary.  This guy is probably damaged goods at this point, and also thinking of moving to Belize.  

Finally, there's not going to be a second opportunity this year.  All of the players who were behind this (figure at least thirty individuals who know some or all of the event)....are facing an entirely different public view than existed in 1963/1964/1965.  Even the CNN connection here....will have some heart-attack or some type of life-end event.  

Five Questions

 1.  Should Joe Biden be out and doing speeches, in support of candidate Harris....if he is mentally 'losing' it?

2.  When you hear any politician start to utter some strange and foreign accent.....do you immediately mute the TV?

3.  If aliens arrived on Earth Friday....would you cancel your Saturday golf-game, family movie-night, or skip church on Sunday?

4.  If your surgeon is finally prepping the procedures for your scheduled operation, and starts to utter a process that was utterly condemned because Trump outlined the process back in 2020.....would you cancel out?

5.  When some political figure utters 'unburdened'.....what do you really think they mean?

If I Could 'Add' To The Constitution?

 My ten humble ideas to 'add':

1.  Dump the Vice-President.   Let the House Speaker assume the role if the President 'passes'.  In the event of surgery or some personal problem....give the role of 'acting-President' to the Secretary of State.  If the President can't return to office within 30 days....the position is vacated and left to the House Speaker to fill for the remainder of the term.  Note: In this filling-role, the House Speaker acting as the President can't run for President.

2.  Financial required....within ten years, the budget must be zero debt.  Failure to reach that point, all members of the House/Senate...are relieved of 'duty' and set home (not to run again).

3.  No House or Senate member may be outside of the US, on personal or job-related duty, for more than 7 days in any year.  Failure to meet this obligation....means a 90-day suspension from their job and no pay during that period.

4.  All federal judges, House members, and Senators are limited to 12 years of federal service, period.  

5.  Supreme Court judges will be nominated into their role for a 12-year period, and exit service upon the end of the 12 years.  One back-up judge will be nominated and standing by....for a sick/injured judge.

6.  The District of Columbia will be re-made, with everything east of the Anacostia River to be given back to Maryland.  Everything east and north of Foggy Bottom is also to be return to Maryland.  Failure of Maryland to accept the deal?  The two areas will be offer to the remaining 49 states to control.

7.  The Sergeant-at-Arms for the House/Senate will be given full-power to administrator a alcohol test to any person 'on-duty'.  If they are determined to be drunk after the test....they will be removed and suspended for a period of seven days.

8.  Upon making one-million dollars in stock profits for each calendar year....the remainder above  that amount  will be 100-percent taxed...for any Senate or House member.

9.  Any House or Senate member who buys a residence in DC, Maryland or Virgina....is given a five-year exemption.  After which, they will be deemed residents of DC, Maryland or Virginia, and unable to run in the next election.

10.  The FBI Headquarters is to be removed from the region, and at least 500 miles from DC.  

Whats Likely To Occur

 After the CNN interview of Kamala Harris and Tim Holz.....I evaluated the 'dynamic duo' on the remaining 70-odd days.  The trend-line....is probably working against them, and for Trump at this point.  

Maybe if Trump could royally screw up the debate with Harris....or some 2nd assassination falls into play against Trump....or some court sentence of prison for Trump to occur, it's impossible to see Harris/Holz picking up Joe Biden's 81.2-million votes of 2020.  In fact, I'd go out and suggest that Trump probably picks up a million extra votes over his 2020 number (74.2-million).  

So the question really is....what is likely to occur in a Trump-win situation....2024 to 2028?  My list:

1.  Within minutes of the inauguration finishing....someone is deputized by Trump (with a Fed-marshal badge) to fetch all J6 convicted personnel out of prison, with a pardon.  This same person will be empowered to collect all J6 documents created, and a board in January will likely review the legality of what occurred....if damages were caused against private citizens, and if some conspiracy was created out of thin air.  

2.  The DC court used for the J6 business?  I suspect that Trump will shut it down (denying them funds), and it'll be locked down.

3.  I think Trump will bring up the DC statehood business, and finally say.....lets give Maryland approximately 50-percent of DC back.  The mayor and city council will be in utter shock over the suggestion, and Maryland will state 300-odd reasons why they can't possibly take in DC as a new county.

4.  Secretary of Education and the Education Department....will be given 'final days' notice within 7 days of the Trump Administration arriving.  All employees will be given two months of pay.   All of the Senate Democrats and five Republican Senators....will fight the closure.  Trump will counter.....all telephone service and internet connectivity ends on 1 April for the whole department.

5.  Javier Milei, President of Argentina, will be given a personal invitation in the first week of the new administration.  Talk?  Mostly how to cut and downsize the gov't.  Elon Musk, Nicole Shanahan (RFK Jr.'s Running Mate) and RFK himself....will be attending.  Trump will decide upon a 8-percent budget cut by the end of 2025....with the promise of a 25-percent budget cut in late 2026 (before the mid-term).  

6.  The Ukraine-Russia war?  Trump will dictate an order....no financial aid for Ukraine immediately.  A 'peace-Czar' will be appointed for Trump....to bring Russia to the table.  The chief part of the deal?  Russia to leave Ukraine, period (all troops removed)....if done and no further war activity for 12 months....the US will begin to remove US bases from Europe (not entirely, but roughly 90-percent gone).  Europeans go nuts over the offer....mostly because of their perceived fake-worry business, and having to spend a lot more money to make people think (in a fake-way) that they are being protected from 'something'.  US military personnel in Europe?  Brought back entirely to the NM, Texas, AZ and California border region.

7.   A force of 7,000 National Guard, US Marshals, and FBI personnel will be dispatched around the US to take possession of illegal migrants on the bad-boy list.  A number of holding  prisons will be established until the migrants can be taken back to their countries.  Countries that respond that they won't take their people back?  They will get a special status.....with financial consequences.  More than 25,000 prisoners will be caught/held in 2025 alone.

The term 'civil-war'?  Likely to be used a great deal in the first half of 2025....as the migrant gangs fight the police.

8.  With various budget cuts in 2025....everyone gets a significant cut in their personal taxes.  Some small business folks will report a 50-percent cut in taxation.

9.  Cannabis reform?  Trump will simply say it' a state issue....do your own thing....within that state.

10.  More than one-third of the CIA and FBI....will be dismissed by the end of 2025.  Both will be remodeled and renamed....the terms of 'FBI' or 'CIA' will no longer exist.
