Trump's Comment

 A clip came up this week....where Trump was being asked about this woman that says he 'fu**ed' her in the 1980s....against her will.

Trump's response was....in simple terms....the accuser gal was 'unfu**able', then leaned at the prosecutor gal....to suggest she was also 'unfu**able'.  

From my military days, particularly in the 1978-1979 period....various guys had this expression 'unfu**able', and it would openly be discussed (at length).

If you tried to define the guy's meaning of this?  This usually led to three scenarios:

1.  You were dealing with a gal situation where everything was confusing (her chatter, her expectations, her created 'drama', etc).  

2.  The rules were laid down....you weren't going past '2nd-base' until the 3rd month of dating.

3.  You came to realize that this gal who you might have dated...really wasn't over the age of 18, so the term 'jail-bait' would come up.

Once you (as the gal) were deemed this by more than three or four guys?  In that period of the late 1970s.....you were going to have problems in getting hooked-up to a guy.  I doubt if this has changed in forty years.  

Ten Bits of Advice

 1.  If you are unwell, and erratic....seek some help before you come to me, because my advice isn't going to be pleasant to hear.  

2.  By the time you turn fourteen, you should have read 'Animal Farm',  '1984', and 'True Believer'.  

3.  There's certainly and uncertainly in life.....you need to make that scale lean awful hard to the certainly side.

4.  There should always be a plan 'A' and a plan 'B'.  

5.  If you live around or work around people who continually 'burn bridges'.....you might want to part ways with them before things get rough.

6.  If you make decisions based on zero facts and zero data.....you probably ought to marry up with someone who can make up for your weaknesses, or get used to roughing it under some bridge.

7.  Sometimes....a gut-feeling is all you need to base a decision on.

8.  When dealing with stupid people....always give them a fair chance of improving their situation.  If they can't resolve their stupidity, lessen your dependence upon them.  

9.  Generally, if you are trying eat healthy (maybe more vegetables), and you go to add some really fattening 'dip'.....you aren't eating healthy.  

10.  It's possible to be on a first-date with some gal, and have this Trump-moment, where you realize that 'Wendy' is 'unfu**able'....it's best to just pay the bill and exit the restaurant as quickly as possible.  Leave 'Wendy' to some loser to figure out.  

The 55-Percent Story

 Some poll was done (by Rasmussen) to say that people generally don't believe that Biden actually makes decisions (suggesting at 55-percent of people) saying it's another group running the President's office.  

Only 38-percent say it's Biden making decisions.

I sat and pondered over this.  

Could Biden even show evidence of him being in charge?  I doubt it.  

Is it Jill in charge?  Is it the DNC?  Who actually makes these decisions?  And does Joe himself even realize where this is going?

And if you examine this trend....it means that even among Democrats....people generally believe this.  So....would they vote for Joe a second time around?  I have my doubts.

Could the news people even invent a story to counter this?  I doubt that.

What I Think Will Occur With Serious Protest Folks

 Well....we will invent a term this year of '6-Jan-them'.....meaning in certain state.....on top of whatever action you did.....insurrection will get brought up.  

By the end of 2024's election?

I would speculate that more than ten-thousand Americans will be in some court action related to state-by-state insurrection.  A whole bunch of people are going to find themselves unemployed and 'angry'.

Instead of a Civil War....we will wimp out on that....and go to massive numbers of people identified as insurrectionists. 

Five Things I Tend To Believe

 1.  This Biden-McCarthy meeting scheduled for the 9th of May...to talk about the debt issue (around 1st week of June, the gov't will run out of funds)....I believe will be a 90-minute discussion over 'nothing'.

Biden and his people will put down three to five marginal 'gifts', and McCarthy will out a dozen big-ticket items.  

They will walk out, and simply say another meeting by the 20th of May will occur.  

My take is that the gov't will run out of cash by the middle of June, and sit there in chaos for four to six weeks.  

Then some very short duration 'fix' will occur....to allow everyone a summer vacation period, and give them about three months of funding to survive.  This means the whole mess will come back by October.  

2  A national crisis over the lack of school teachers will erupt in August.....as various states find that some teachers have given up....it's too stressful and too many assaults/fights going on.  Some schools will admit they don't have manpower to run schools.

3.  Affirming crazy people fixes everything, and makes mental illness just go away.  (Affirming everybody, for every reason, seems the logical end-result for all problems).

4.  If your check-engine light is on....it's a 50-50 thing that it might not really matter.

5.  If someone says they are low-income status.....they might be claiming they make $100,000 a year and still living paycheck-to-paycheck.

The Darien Gap Problem

 If you took about one-eigth of Tennessee, and filled it with five-star jungle (with snakes, Pumas, etc)....you'd have the Darien Gap (the most southern area of Panama, and extending about 50 miles into Columbia.

There was always this belief that sooner or later.....some Americans would come along and figure out a way to build a road through this area, and traffic would occur.  It never occurred.

In the past year, some Chinese folks figured out a way to get a visa to visit Columbia, and then they figured out how to hike through the jungle....heading north.  Last year, the border patrol folks figure around 2,000 made the hike and entered the US eventually.  For 2023?  We are pretty close to 5,000 presently, and I would guess it'll be close to 15,000 by the end of the year.  2024?  It wouldn't shock me if 30,000 did the hike.

What's going on?  Well....somehow, they figured out a path and the trail is now being regularly used.  It's about a 80-mile hike from the last point of civilization in Columbia to the next point of civilization in Panama.  On an established jungle hike?  Probably four to five days....of pretty crappy conditions.  From that Panama village to the Texas border?  About 4,200 km or 36 days of hiking.  You could lessen the days by riding buses along the way, and maybe the whole trip....from day one of landing in Columbia....could be done in two weeks (jungle hike included).

Do I think the Biden 'camp' is worried over this?  Well...I find it odd that this past week....around 1,500 active duty Army people were given orders to report to the border area.

Last night, I read through a business report which suggested near 9-million Americans are on fentanyl.  Where is most of the fentanyl made?  China.

I wouldn't be that shocked if 10-percent of this 7,000 folks (2022 and so far into 2023) are Chinese gang-members and being sent to form up new gangs within the US...dealing only in fentanyl.  It also wouldn't shock me if the Homeland Security folks already figured this out and warned the Biden crew of the impending mess being created.

The Thing About Rationality

"Definitions are the guardians of rationality, the first line of defense against the chaos of mental disintegration." 

-- Ayn Rand

Once you define that one plus one might not equal two.....mental disintegration starts up.

If you say X can be Y, but there's no science path to make it so....like saying a woman with a penis can be a woman....mental disintegration starts up.

This is the basic problem that we have today....rationality is under attack, and a large segment of society just refuse to participate or engage in the mental decline.
