Seven Humble Thoughts

 1.  I never used the term 'FAFO' (Fu*k-Around-Find-Out) prior to Covid (2020).  Today....I'll probably observe five items minimum in the news daily....where some guy/gal has been irrational (without the use of drugs/booze), and gotten themselves into some serious consequences.

2.  I noticed in the news....15 Antifa folks (guys/gals from Minnesota) are identified for federal felony charges....conspiracy charges.  It's probably enough...where if convicted....you'd do minimum of two years of prison.  As confused, and mentally-challenged as they seem....they may think prison-life is pretty simple.

3. Just odd....there must be five or six National Guard 'patrols' around the clock....at the reflection poll in DC....ready to detain folks for the Capital Police.  Pro-algae folks....apparently not fearful of the detention or fed-charges.

4.   Weather gal (German in nature) says for my village...come Friday....37 C (99 F). Doubt if anyone much survives such heat.

5. If you feel oppressed.....you might want to ask who or what is holding you 'back'.

6.  Obama-appointed U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson stood up yesterday and blocked the Trump order.....that was restricting SNAP benefits use for soda and candy.

Frankly....you just can't deny candy and Doritos....to the welfare folks. Same way....you can't dictate to folks to eat 'good' food.

This Reflection Pool 'Trap'

 With all the fix-it talk, algae BS, and TDS issues.....this AM....I noted that the cops in DC have gone to some storage unit....found a Antifa 'lab'....preparing quantities of Algae for release.

The problem I see growing here....domestic terror charges are probably going to occur, and some folks (intellectual dimwits) will end up in court facing 10 years of fed-jail.  I don't think they are capable of handling it.

The LE at the Reflection Pool?  I bet daily now.....they are handcuffing five or six folks. 

At some point.....I'll bet at least thirty LE people constantly on duty.

The 'Other' World?

 Over the weekend....I read through some science 'news', and some PhD group has   written up a new quantum theory concept.....suggesting that 'OTHER' versions of people....sitting in some alternate universe....are changing/effecting your life....your fate.

I paused over the idea.

The 'other' me....might have gone to Georgia Tech....developed a taste for Asian food...moved to Portland, and got radicalized.  The 'me' me...realizing the fate of getting to Portland....went in a opposite direction.

Proof of concept?  Well....that's the thing about quantum theory....you can say some BS....with zero proof.

The 'other' Donald Trump?  He probably lives a healthy lifestyle....weighs 160 pounds...avoids McDonalds, is fairly unsuccessful, lives in Rhode Island, and  is married to some Venezuelan gal for forty years with 16 kids.

To be honest....I'd pay money to venture into the 'other' world for a week or two....just to check things out. 

Movie Idea

 I'm thinking of writing a movie-script....entitled: 'Hobo-Man'.

The story would go this way....some down-and-out guy...mostly a loser throughout life, has gone to homeless status in California.

At some point....he's drawn to a testing-program for $300 in cash per month....to take a pill.  He's told over and over....it would stimulate the mind.  As part of the program, you  have to agree to a  hook-up for one hour per day after taking the pill.....to some AI-system...to fuse knowledge into his mind.

He gives a talk one day at the homeless camp hangout....saying something wittty/clever.  Some news team uses the sixty-second clip. 

Within hours....half-a-million people  have viewed the clip....thinking this is the guy who should be governor of California.

A political party begins to develop....the 'Hobo-Party'.  

Over the course of a year.....Californians buy into this guy's reality, and he's elected.   A year or two passes....the guy is running for President.

At  the peak....hours after being sworn in as President....the drug company comes out to admit the pill that this guy was continually given.....was just a Tic-Tac.

The question is....did he just need a boost?

Five Thoughts

 1.  All this reflecting pool/algae BS......if you get arrested for 'any' damage....it's felony charges in a fed-court,  with the Park Service on your 'ass'.

I'll predict.....as this matter continues into 2027 (probably 3,000 detained)....we reach a point where your mental stability is questioned, and the Park Service lawyers finally start requesting a mental exam.  By the end of 2027, I'll predict a minimum of fifty folks kept for 30 days of mental-hold.

2. Past day....Israeli forces say they have seized a strategic Iranian-built Hezbollah underground command center....up on the Ali Taher Ridge in southern Lebanon.

So, here's suggestion they put out....they think a couple of hundred terrorists are stuck there....unable to reach any of the exit-point. IDF strategy?  They intend to blow up the entry/exit points.  

3. If you perform a 'hate-Trump-act'.....with a consequence of two years of  fed-jail time.....do you have any mental 'control', or are you just doped-up around the clock?

4. Some Oregon school made the decision to drop the valedictorian honor....saying  it was removed to prevent other students from feeling bad about their performance.

Pondering it....you should just make all kids valedictorians....letting all of them speak for ten minutes....even if it amounts to six hours of BS-talking.   Give the idiots a chance to shine.

5.   Not much hope for Iran to survive as one-country.  I'll predict by early 2027....with no peace deal acceptable....it dissolves into 3 to 5 countries.  

Ten Humble Thoughts

 1.  This week....I probably wasted an hour thinking over the pro-algae folks in DC....with the reflecting pool....who desperately don't want 'Trump-success' in fixing the situation.

They appear so focused.....that they'd get arrested/detained....get dragged into fed-court, and maybe pay damages/fines....up into the $10,000 range.   It just seems like....they need a month or two in some farm-work to clear  up their mind, and get rational.

2.  Obama library.

I'll just say it.....within 20 years....there's  likely to be structural issues, and I'll predict safety issues cause a period of shut-down.

3.  I tried to make sense out of this....some sex offender (in the state of Georgia).....an Indian (Bombay-type).....got listed on the sex offender registry.  Issue?  Under the ethnic category....he's listed as a native American male.

4.  I noted this week.....CNN went out and asked Americans.....if they got their 'NEWS' from them....only 2-percent said 'yes'.

I have to be honest....about five minutes out of each month....I'll drift over to CNN for some hot-item....but that's typically my limit.

5. HUD Secretary Scott Turner says he will kick out any illegal aliens from Section 8 housing. They have to show proof of citizenship to get the deal.

How many?  Well.....25,000 roughly.

Legal challenges?  Yeah....I would imagine so. But here's the thing....you were an person....claiming to be American, but having no birth certificate.....yeah, you probably also get kicked out.

6.  From all this investigation-into-Gov Newsom BS....just odd....wire-taps done on his wife.   Just appears that she has some connection to 'crimes' and will also be dragged into a mess.

Some advice....if you are a shady character....always assume your phone is bugged.

7.   Amazon 'boss'....Jeff Bezos....said this week....while AI might eliminate some jobs in the beginning....the technology will generate massive demand for human workers.

Now, you notice....'workers' doesn't exactly mean white-collar management jobs paying $100,000 a year.

If I were looking at this....AI needs massive air conditioning support, and probably five-million Americans by 2035....would need to be AC-technicians.

8.  I asked AI (Grok)....to look over data and suggest how many college students have an IQ of 90 or less.  

Grok says...."approximately 21-percent of college students have an IQ below 90 (on average, across all undergraduates).  This estimate comes from a 2024 meta-analysis by Uttl, Violo, and Gibson."

100...on an IQ is considered average.....90 would be less-than-average.  

But here's the thing....from this 21-percent group.....how many drift down  to 80, and you end up with a college graduating a thousand students a year....who marginally can be educationally 'fit'.  Imagine if they end up as school-teachers.

9.  I read through a science piece this week....elevated levels of a highly abundant chemical messenger in the brain.....seem to be linked to a heightened sensitivity to making mistakes. 

Basically....this is a guy/gal....who makes a mistake....realizes it....then goes into a fit of anxiety/depression. 

The other guy/gal who does make a mistake.....goes to the logical step....learn from your mistake....avoids the fit of anxiety/depression.

Risk-takers?  They are forever learning from mistakes and lessening any waste of time on anxiety/depression.

10.  From the remaining guys in charge of Iran....I'd say they have one particular problem....a IQ level of 80-to-90.  Sadly.....they are the ones that Trump has to deal with.

The Birth Certificate Chatter

 I asked Grok/AI to assemble the data....how many Americans don't-got a birth certificate.

A 2023 national survey (Brennan Center for Justice, in partnership with the University of Maryland’s Center for Democracy and Civic Engagement and others) asked around 2,386 U.S. citizens aged (age 18-plus).....the question.

Based on their numbers.....nationally, they figure around 3.8 million voting-age U.S. citizens currently LACK any form of documentary proof of citizenship (DPOC) or US birth.

The details?  Well....concluding they were mostly lost, destroyed, stolen, or never obtained. 

I paused over this.

You can't join the military or get social security....so this really crimps-up the lifestyle of the 3.8-million.

So, part of this story....if you were born in the US prior to the 1950s.....in a lot of cases....the fed/state gov't was not involved, and thus no certificate awarded.  I don't argue about that.

What is obvious here.....how would you conduct banking/investing, report taxes, or get social security later in life?  No one talks about the 'details'.
