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.
