Observations

1.  Alex Thompson quote from the weekend: "Small Group Of People" Running The White House Was A Politburo."

Yeah, that's probably the only way to describe it.....Soviet-in-style....for the 'people'.

Oh, and there's NO success ever in the Soviet-in-style Politburo that you can comment upon.

2.  Over the weekend, there were two incidents where planes were diverted from landing at Reagan Int'l Airport in DC...due to Army Blackhawks off-track.

I would imagine there's going to be a meeting today....where Army crews are given a thrashing by the FAA.

3.  U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi now appears SET to investigate a 25-year history of mortgage fraud over New York Attorney General Letitia James.

I'm not a lawyer, but for each form submitted in a fraud for EACH year....there could be a charge.  It would be wild if combined (Virginia and NY)....if this got up to 100 charges and a fine of $5-million.  

Four Humble Thoughts

1.  My view on Joe Biden's 'decline'.

 I think in 2018/2019....Biden was under moderate early treatment for his cancer (with success).  Between Thanksgiving 2019 and Christmas 2019...the family doctor told him to move onto more aggressive treatment.  

He emerges in January 2020 for the primary period....fairly doped-up and reacting to stronger treatment.  A week or two of this....most of the news organizations go to brief video coverage pieces....cutting out all the whacked-up moments out.  

After the November 2020 election....he's still on the more intense treatment.  He's (probably Jill's push) selected VP Harris because she's so goofy....that the 'system' would agree to let him (the sick guy) carry on this act.

By early 2024....the four-year 'score' is crap, and unless you invent numbers out of thin air.....he can't win.  

Had he been a regular guy....he would not be capable of driving a car....handling his finances...or doing anything requiring mental capacity. But he was capable of portraying himself as a President.

2.  It's just odd....you could have sat down with 99-percent of  people in 1969....talking about baseball, gas station prices, NCAA football, pavement  renovation in the area, newest Ford truck model, a Mayberry R.F.D episode, how Adam leaving Bonanza made it better show, Apollo 11 landing on the moon.....and  had a friendly chat for 30 minutes.

Today....you can probably only sit down with around 50-to-60  percent of people,  and you have to be careful not to talk about 300 subjects.  Just talking about some  episode of Three's Company....might get intense.

3.  What Harvard ought to do....to get around Trump's 'rules'?

Just sit up a China-Harvard unit in Canada, and fly Harvard professors up a day or two each week....to teach classes there.

4.  Thinking over tourism and California.....I really can't think of a single reason why I would go to California to see literally 'anything'.  Between crime, drugs, nut-cases, homelessness, fire, and over-priced hotel rooms.....there's no reason to waste travel-time there.

The Thing About AI

 Just a humble belief....we are probably three years away from some colleges offering a 'lite-degree' program.....where 30-to-70 percent of the classes are taught by AI, with no professor involvement (even grading tests).

Where this is leading to?  I would say that tuition-wise....for a full-year of what was normally $20,000....you can't really charge more than $3,000 if it's full-up AI ChatGPT.

Added to this....will the AI come up at the 4th week....analyzing  your attendance and attention-span....saying you need to find 'other' studies or leave the school?

Professor chaos coming?  Within ten years....why would I hire 400 useless humans when I can do the same job with AI?  

White Robot Chatter

 

Yeah, it is odd....all robots are mostly white.

This leading to color-robots....like gray, green, orange and pink?  

Does it even matter?  

Then I wonder....who does color research like this?  Do you go to Texas Tech or University of Iowa....to learn color racism crap?

Also....what pronoun should you use....are robots 'him' or 'her'?  

Will there be trans-robots in the future? 

This South African Chatter

 President Trump had a face-to-face meeting yesterday with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa....where Trump presented a fair amount of details over white genocide going on in South Africa.

So  I'm going to tell this story....which relates around to the farm property seizure going on in South Africa.  For over 20 years, there's been a plan around....where  x-amount of farms/orchards/vineyards....would simply be taken....with no payment for the property.  

Yeah, it was kinda like Zimbabwe's plan (total failure)...but had one key difference.  Instead of breaking up a 1,000 acre farm into 2-acre plots and handing it to 500 former soldiers...it would be handed to one person.  Who would be the receiver of the 1,000 acre plot?  It was never openly discussed....what most expected was someone within the ANC Party had a list of people to 'gift' the farm property.

In 2019....I went to South Africa on a 3-week trip.  

One day on this trip....my wife went to the pool, and I stayed to watch local Cape Town TV news, and they were featuring a live piece....where the South African 'Senate' were getting a bank presentation.

The bank guy was explaining  the problem of seizing the farms....from a economic standpoint....where you weren't going compensate for the property taken.

So he explained how farm owners had loans via the banking sector. If you took property....with no compensation....the loans were still 'laying' there, and the farmers would just up-and-leave South Africa.  The banks would go into chaos.

The chief  response by two of the 'Senators' (ANC members)?  More or less....it's none of our responsibility.

The bank guy then explained that if you handed  the farms to unqualified people....the banks probably would refuse to grant future loans.  To which....the response by the two ANC Senators were.....more or less...it's none of our business.

The bank guy then explained that if you had unqualified folks running the farms....they probably would not produce the current level of food....to stock shelves for the people of South Africa....causing a national crisis.    To which....the response by the two ANC Senators were.....more or less...it's none of our business.

The wife came back at this point, and I turned off the TV.  I pondered over this  for several hours.

The two ANC Senators?  They were either totally stupid.....or they were consumed in passion to deliver this chaos....even if it destroyed the economy, or triggered a civil war.

Since six years have passed....nothing has improved.....white farmers are killed weekly, and the best remedy for everyone at this  point....is either a old fashioned regular civil war, or you open up the migration door to 4-million folks to enter the US. 

My 'Indexes'

 My wife made a point that I seem to have a lot of 1-to-10 'indexes'.  This AM....I counted ten of them:

1  Dumbass/low IQ index.  Yeah, I seem to measure folks upon meeting them....even at the gas station, the airport, or coffee shop.  The higher up on my index you  make it....the less likely I'll trust you to get the job done.  So if you were given a '7' by me....I'm expecting you to screw things up.  A '4' would mean you did the task forty times, and fail just once.

2. BS index.  This index I use for news....whether it's propaganda, BS, or just fake news.  

3.  GOP/Fake Republican index.  Mitch McConnell rates near a '9' on this index.

4.  Sports index.  This index I use to decide upon my viewership.....the higher you rank (like '8' or '9')....it's unlikely I'll  watch your sport (like WNBA).  

5.  Conspiracy index.  This is the index I use to rate conspiracies....like bigfoot, 9-11, 5-G health risks, Covid vaccinations,  Malaysian Flight MH370, etc.  The higher I rank you (like '7' or '8')....the more likely it's bogus.  If I give you a '1' (like in the RFK/JFK killings)....the more likely that the conspiracy is non-existent.  Bigfoot, for example, is a '9'....so is Nessie.

6. Shady-Bank index.   This will involve banks and credit institutions....usually where I think you are readily engaged in fraud.

7.   Knightrider index.  This index is used to measure new TV programs....if I give you a '7' or '8'....you won't make it past the first season.  

8. Tramp/Whore index.  This is a risky index where I assess ladies and the higher (like '8' or '9') the number....the more likely you probably shouldn't get too serious with the gal.  

9.  The Expert index.  This is where I simply view your expert nature.  A '1' or '2' means that you probably know what you are talking about. A '8' or '9'....you probably work on CNN, and should not be trusted.

10.  Gin index. Since I have a preference for gin....this is usually where I've ordered a cocktail with gin....observed the brand that you used, and grade it.  Hendricks and Gray Whale usually rate at '1' or '2'.  Mr Tom gin, and Burnetts....usually rate at a '7'. 

Was Joe Biden Nothing More Than A Figurehead?

 Over the past couple of days....I've come to this thought-process....that maybe in 2019 as the debates carried on that summer/fall....they system could NOT deliver a five-star or even a four-star candidate for the 2020 Democratic primary system.  

So....in this whacked political system....the 'insiders' (probably in the range of a thousand who own a piece of the political system)....went to Joe Biden. 

Through four years....I suspect that Biden already in 2019....was given some medical words  of cancer....given a minimum of five years, and had treatment already at that point (before the primary). 

The figurehead 'play'? Jill and Hunter both figure into this.....at least five or six White House aides, and maybe twenty-odd journalists. 

All of this now giving the public a serious negative view of the Democratic Party and journalism? I'd suggest that.
