Ten Things I Don't Buy Into Anymore

 1.  NBA.  Since the late 1990s....I've lost complete interest in NBA games.

2.  NFL   Since the Colin Kaepernick business.....I have zero interest.

3.  Star Wars.  After the first three, I was finished.  

4.  Late night comedy shows.  Since Johnny Carson retired....I've been finished.

5.  George Bush being competent.  I would say midway though the Trump period....it just came to pass....Bush was ill qualified for the 8-year job.

6.  American beer.  After you've had a number of German beers....it's hard to find anything of quality made in the US.

7.  Chicago, Baltimore, Memphis, St Louis or Atlanta being safe.  They simply aren't safe.  

8.  Covid was just a accidental thing that came from a meat market in  Wuhan.  I just don't buy the story any longer.

9.  A movie ticket for $12.  Sorry, but with 90-percent of movies....I probably wouldn't pay more than $4.  

10.  The need for a truth commission.  In 99-percent of cases....truth commissions just muddy-up the facts even more.  

Odd Thing From Georgia Grand Jury Episode Over Trump

 As you gaze at the jury forewoman in this episode...Emily Kohrs, and her social media business....she's into witchcraft.

So, you just kinda stand there and try to seem how things work in Georgia, and her 'hobby' fits into things.

First, when you do a Grand Jury....there's usually a questionnaire with forty-odd questions.  The judge wants to note that you are a resident of the region....that you aren't 'touched' (meaning nuts)...that you can prove your identity (usually from a driver's license).  They might ask about hobby stuff.....but there's nothing will drag your witchcraft angle.  

Second, even if you had said you were a witch in the judge's interview.....there's no rule to disqualify you because of your witch status.

Third, over the course of several seeks of Grand Jury duty.....if it did come out....I'm pretty sure that half of the jury members would be freaked out, and would have asked the judge to be released. 

Fourth, to be kinda honest....folks from the south will usually say they've never met a witch.  Maybe when 'Uncle Harvey' got all drunk and said he was 'Satan'...you just assumed he was faking it.  Klan members or radical hippies?  Oh yeah....everyone will say they've met one or two.  But witches?  No.

Finally, I just don't see this gal staying around Georgia at this point.  The fame and glamor will be too much, and she will end up in California.    

The 'Stoned' Jury Foreman Story

 This interview....with Emily Kohrs (the Grand Jury foreman on the Trump stuff in Georgia)....was out in today's news. You can view yourself:

I ended up playing 3 times.

So 3 observations:

1.  She's lit up on something....high-THC cannabis or some pill form.  She gets hyper-active about half-way through the interview.

2.  Basically, with everything she laid out....the judge has to be shaking his head.  She violated some things he said, and made the prosecutor case near impossible to handle. 

3.  How they came to appoint her as the jury 'boss'?  I'd like to hear the judge explain this.  Did they have mostly dimwitted locals, and she was the only one with a community college background?

So the Georgia aim to bring Trump down.....dead in the water?  Yeah.  I'll add this....if you ever get brought to an interview and can't handle the pressure.....don't go and smoke high-THC weed.  

The Dozen Skills You Leave The Farm With

 Growing  up in the rural regions of Alabama in the 1970s.....you would eventually realize that you'd developed talents which were useful for the rest of your life.  For example.....

1.  When someone asks you how much space is taken up....you eyeball the situation and generally answer one-quarter, or double....the space of a Ford F-150 'bed'.  Truck beds seem to be a standard way of measurement.  

2.  Real 'characters' in life....always have nicknames.  If you don't have a nickname....you were never a 'character'.  The nickname crowd always seemed legendary....even forty years later after their demise....folks still remember them.  

3.  You generally assign a ranking on irrational people....with anything above a '5' requiring you to maintain a distance.  '5' usually means six feet.  '7' usually means a dozen feet.  

4.  Any movie held at a drive-in....had some action or arousing content....that made the drive-in experience worth the money.  Regular theaters were not that way.

5.  If it looks snakey....it probably is not a forest or woods that you should travel through.

6.  The minute some woman has gotten a community nickname of 'Jezebel', you probably shouldn't ought to hang out with her.

7.   There's no finer food to sample....than county-fair food.  

8.  If you had relatives who went 'off'....they are usually not talking about carnival crowd they hung out with, or the 30 days in county jail, or the year they spent in 'Nam'.  It's best not to discuss the 'off' period ever.

9.  If someone brings up 'books' they read....they typically don't mean Hemingway or Steinbeck.....they mean 'books' or chapters out of the Bible.

10.  You learned the route you took for some 3-hour travel experience....usually is important to remember because folks will ask how you got there and how you returned.  Later in life....skills like this matter.

11.   The people who got all hyped-up from the Baptist revival period....are usually people that you might want to avoid...for at least 90 days.  

12.  Chaos and tragedy often gets measured in different ways.  A fragile person might not be able to handle much on a problem.  Some rural guys might have a hundred times that amount of stress in their life, and show little.  You always need to assess who you are dealing with, and their irrational ranking in life.  

My Five Theories

 1.  My expenditure of thinking over things theory.  If you imagine a graphic chart where a cannon ball is fired into the air....there is an arch, and at the peak....it can go no higher, and the cannon ball will start a descent.  

Thinking is this way....as long as you still rising on the problem and solution....it's worth pondering.  Once you've hit the peak of the arch of thinking.....it's just wasted time and effort from that point on. 

Bottom line?  Don't think sixteen hours over a four hour problem.  

2.  The filtering of life theory.  Filtering issues is helpful.....but if you reach a point where there's more than five filters at work....the odds are that you will reach a end-point where nothing really fits or works.

3.  Artificial Intelligence is doomed.

All this BS chatter going on about how AI will take over and be smarter than people.....will reach a point where you realize the AI 'creature' is only as smart or clever as the code-writer who created it.  

4.  People who seem energized over some activist viewpoint....are easily manipulated and brain-washed.

If you ever sit down with folks who want to get you hyped-up or enthusiastic over some trendy topic....if you use simple skepticism....you will quietly walk out, and laugh over the attempted manipulation.

5.  I'm convinced that out of every one-hundred people who attend four years of college today....approximately 10-percent of them (minimum) are no brighter or more clever....than day one that they started the college adventure.

When the first college opened (1088, Italy)....the general idea was that you would leave and be a more independent and rational thinker....with the tools to assemble conclusions.  That's not what exists today in the bulk world of selling college.  

Observations

 1.  Just odd with Biden's trip suddenly into the Ukraine.  For a full week, up until this arrival....not a single siren could be heard in Kiev.  Within an hour of the American President's arrival.....siren went off.

2.  Is fat a gender?  I sat and watched some piece on Twitter....suggesting that we might need to change our view and accept fat as a new agenda.  

Sorry, but just not buying into this BS.

3.  Where I see Project Veratas in a year?  

Approximately 50-percent of funding dries up by mid-summer.  New funding comes from liberal foundations....with the PV guys geared toward slamming conservative causes.

At some point, James O'Keefe will launch a new PV-like organization, and secretly target his former 'team'.  

4.  All the 6 Jan video released to Fox's Tucker Carlson?

Basically, there'll be a five-minute tape every night where things are laid out.  By spring of 2024, I expect enough pressure for a special committee to have hearings with various gov't agencies.  Distrust in federal government business will grow.

Just Five Humble Thoughts

 1.  If you've gone to some protest 'gathering' with a hundred folks showing up....it's pretty likely that at least two of the hundred are undercover LE from city, state or federal agencies, and the two may not even know each other or their purpose in the gathering.

2.  President Biden has come out with some 'agenda' where it's unfair for resort hotels to attach special fees to the bill at the end of the stay. 

To be honest, on my list of 15,000 things that the President needs to devote time/energy to....this doesn't make it.  If you are unhappy about resort hotel fees.....don't go and waste your money there.  

3.  In a normal life (departing by age 82).....you probably will experience more than 400 weather warning episodes, with only one bringing disaster to your front-door step (if you are lucky).

4.  In the past month, I've probably viewed seven hours of GB news out of the UK, with the word 'terrifying' uttered at least twenty-five times.  A bit over-used, if you ask me.

5.  There's not a single day of the week now that I don't have this cult-warning-like image in my mind after viewing the news or reading through social media.
